113: Chapter 113 The Movie: Strongest World (Part 1)(This is one of the author's favorite theatrical versions, and the author plans to end it in three to five chapters.)
Several months ago, at dusk, as the sun set and its afterglow illuminated the sky above the Naval Headquarters, a shocking scene unfolded: countless warships were mysteriously suspended in mid-air!The soldiers below stared in terror at this unbelievable sight, completely bewildered as to what was happening.
Meanwhile, Sengoku and Garp, in the office above, broke out in a cold sweat.As legendary figures who had lived through Roger's era, they knew all too well who was behind all of this.
Just then, an enormous figure sped past overhead.Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a pirate ship converted from an entire massive island!The soldiers below opened fire in an attempt to intercept the enemy, but all the shells missed their target.
The two legendary naval figures stared intently at the pirate ship above, their faces icy cold."Twenty whole years!Where have you been hiding?Wouldn't it have been better to live a quiet life, Golden Lion Shiki!" Garp's voice rang out coldly.
Twenty years ago, Shiki the Golden Lion was captured and imprisoned in Impel Down.However, he successfully escaped by mutilating his own legs, becoming the first prisoner in history to escape from Impel Down.Since then, Shiki seemed to have vanished without a trace.Unexpectedly, he has reappeared today, giving the Navy a shocking surprise.
"Hahahaha, Marines, this is just a warning shot!" A man with half a ship's wheel on his head laughed maniacally and pressed down with his palm.The warships floating in the air all fell down, causing countless deaths and injuries.The culprit who caused all this laughed and left, leaving a mess for the Marines to clean up.Several months later, on an incredibly hot island, like a sauna, Luffy was holding Uta's little hand, looking speechless, as they struggled through a dense forest.Sunlight filtered through the gaps in the leaves, creating dappled patterns of light and shadow, but this did not bring them any coolness; instead, it made them feel even more stifled and unbearable.
Sweat streamed down Luffy's forehead, soaking his clothes, but he didn't stop.Just a few hours earlier, they had learned from the news that their hometown was in imminent danger of destruction.After discussion, they unanimously decided to return to the East Blue from the Grand Line to provide support.However, fate always seems to like playing tricks on people.On their journey, they unexpectedly encountered the same pirate ship that Shiki had floated in the air from the original story!
Nami stood at the bow, her eyes revealing a mixture of determination and vigilance.She stared intently at the massive pirate ship in the sky, silently praying that nothing untoward would happen.Suddenly, her expression turned serious; she sensed a powerful gust of wind approaching.With her exceptional navigational skills, Nami predicted an impending, terrible storm.
Ignoring Luffy's attempts to stop her, Nami quickly picked up a sound decanter and transmitted the sound to Shiki's pirate ship.
"Hey!Pirate ship ahead, you're about to encounter a storm, please sail carefully!" Nami's voice carried clearly.
Upon hearing Nami's warning, Shiki showed a hint of surprise.However, he quickly regained his composure, feigning an effort to use his powers to propel the Sunny towards the East Blue, and loudly proclaimed, "Thank you for the reminder, Luffy and his crew.In return, I will escort you safely to the East Blue."
After that, it was quite simple.Shiki, the Golden Lion, took a liking to Nami's incredible weather abilities and deactivated his Devil Fruit power halfway through the journey.Although Luffy was prepared and used his wind power to hold back the Sunny the moment it deactivated, the Golden Lion, lacking any sense of honor, suddenly attacked Luffy.Luffy had to stabilize the Sunny while fighting him.Midway through, Shiki suddenly cheated, using his Devil Fruit power to cause the Sunny to plummet.Caught completely off guard by this sudden turn of events, everyone was caught off guard and had no time to react.The crew members were thrown in all directions.In this critical moment, Luffy exerted all his strength, barely managing to hold onto Uta, but could only watch helplessly as his other companions were mercilessly flung onto different islands."Fuck you!You damned Golden Lion Shiki, how dare you be so arrogant!When I see you again, I'll definitely rip that ridiculous rudder off your head!" Luffy cursed inwardly, his eyes flashing with fury.As he walked, he secretly vowed to himself that he would never let go of the guy who had caused him trouble.
Unbeknownst to them, they had reached the edge of the island.Luffy stopped, gazing at the distant sea, his eyes revealing a resolute determination.Uta, standing beside him, seemed to sense his thoughts; she glanced at Luffy with a sharp eye and instantly understood his intention.
Without hesitation, Uta snuggled into Luffy's arms, like a docile kitten.Luffy held Uta tightly, feeling her soft body and warm breath.Just then, a powerful wind elemental force converged from all directions, enveloping them completely.
With the help of the wind, Luffy and Uta's bodies gradually lifted off the ground, flying towards another island in the distance.Luffy spread his arms, fully enjoying the thrill of flying, while Uta clung tightly to him, a happy smile on her face.
They soared through the air like free birds, traversing clouds and crossing oceans.The wind whistled past their ears and ruffled their hair, a sensation that was intoxicating and irresistible.
Finally, they landed on another island.Luffy carefully placed Uta on the ground, then stood up.He turned around and looked around.Before him lay an ancient and mysterious forest, its trees tall and dense, seemingly telling tales of time's passage.The clear, melodious chirping of birds echoed through the forest, creating a harmonious atmosphere of oneness with nature.
Luffy took a deep breath, feeling the scent of the forest, a sense of indescribable tranquility welling up within him.He slowly walked into the forest, his feet sinking into the soft grass, as if he were in a dreamlike world.As he walked, he suddenly heard a strange sound ahead.He stopped warily, and looking closely, he saw a flat crocodile crawling out of the grass.
The crocodile's mouth was glistening with saliva, as if it hadn't eaten in ages.Hunger had turned its eyes bloodshot as it stared intently at the two tiny creatures before it.It secretly rejoiced: This must be a feast bestowed upon me by heaven!Without the slightest hesitation, the crocodile opened its blood-red jaws and pounced on the two like a hungry tiger.
However, facing the menacing crocodile, Luffy merely raised an eyebrow and then lightly swung his arm.In an instant, a chilling aura erupted from his hand, quickly freezing the crocodile into a lifelike ice sculpture.Then, the ice shattered, and the crocodile crumbled into countless fragments scattered across the ground.
After dealing with the crocodile, the two continued on their way, but not long after, a gigantic octopus suddenly blocked their path.Uta's eyes widened, and she muttered to herself in confusion, "Wait a minute, octopuses should live in the sea, right?How come they're suddenly appearing in the forest?" Faced with this strange and unprecedented creature, she was completely baffled.
Luffy swung his right hand again, and a sharp wind blade shot out, slashing at the octopus with lightning speed.Instantly, the enormous creature was chopped into countless pieces, scattered all around.Looking at the plump octopus meat scattered on the ground, Luffy couldn't help but mutter, "I wonder what takoyaki made with this meat would taste like?" Hearing this, Uta turned pale with fright and quickly pulled Luffy away.After all, only someone as daring as Luffy would dare to try eating such an unknown creature.Uta dragged Luffy to an open space, and before the two could rest, a praying mantis appeared out of nowhere, but Luffy easily defeated it.Uta was speechless; the species in this forest were too strange, all defying common sense.Just then, Nami's scream came from not far away.Suddenly, a terrifyingly large centipede appeared before them!It bared its fangs and claws, chasing after Nami as if to devour her completely.Even the usually carefree and easygoing Nami couldn't help but show fear at this moment.After all, any girl would feel scared in the face of such a huge insect.
In that heart-stopping moment, Nami caught sight of Luffy ahead and, as if she had found a lifeline, immediately sped up and ran towards him.Without hesitation, she threw herself into Luffy's warm embrace, as if she had found her pillar of support.
Luffy sensed Nami's fear, so he gently patted her back and comforted her with a smile, "Don't be afraid, I'm here!" His firm yet warm voice calmed Nami down a little.
Immediately afterward, a mysterious flow of dark element began.Luffy's body emanated a powerful force, drawing everything around him in like a vortex.The giant centipede was pulled in by this force, helplessly swept into it.In the blink of an eye, the centipede vanished without a trace, leaving not even a speck of dust behind!
