I, Luffy, awaken the sun god on top of the sky Chapter 28"Damn it!! Gravity, increase for me!"Miss Valentine really wanted to increase the gravity and pin Luffy down, giving them a chance.Perhaps due to humiliation, anger, and urgency, Miss Valentine's continuous activation of her Devil Fruit ability allowed her to break through her own limits, and the gravity increased.This caused Luffy's body to sink, and after squatting down, he found it difficult to stand upright again for a short time.Miss Valentine exclaimed, "Hahaha, my ability has improved."She could feel that it had increased by 5,000 Berries, and could not increase further.But it was still very strong, 25,000 Berries."Mr. 5, attack now!"Miss Valentine shouted, and Mr. 5 prepared to rush over for a full-body explosion, which would be even more powerful.Luffy spoke with difficulty, "Zoro, stop him. Don't let anyone disturb me.""Alright."Zoro swept in, and Mr. 5 exploded his whole body, but Zoro cut him away with a single slash, and the explosion was also dispersed.Luffy praised, "Very good, this is even better. Get up for me!"Under Miss Valentine's horrified gaze, Luffy's body slowly straightened again, continuing his squatting exercise.This made Miss Valentine's face turn ugly, but she did not deactivate her Devil Fruit ability.If she deactivated it, they would be finished. If she didn't, it would continue like this, exhausting Straw Hat.Luffy was naturally happy that she didn't deactivate it; the longer, the better, to refine himself and become stronger."Don't lessen it. I think I can last all night." Luffygrinned… Please give flowers, rating tickets, monthly tickets, and rewards. Thank you very much!!Chapter 040: Isn't He Just a Shichibukai?Luffy kept training like this, and it made Zoro want to train too.But he knew that Luffy relied on his ability, and he himself couldn't possibly withstand 25,000 Berriesof gravity.And so, it continued all night.After a whole night, Luffy was exhausted, but the training was very effective.Luffy even thought about taking Miss Valentinealong as a tool, using her as a gravity object to train his body and physique every day."Alright, that's enough."Luffy stopped training and lay on the ground to rest."Zoro, I'll leave them to you. I'm going to sleep for ten minutes.""Alright."Zoro immediately acted, taking care of Miss Valentine and Mr. 5.While Luffy rested, Nami went to wake up Usoppand Sanji.Sanji was still having a sweet dream; his expression showed he was dreaming of beautiful women."Keep drinking…" Sanji mumbled."Stop drinking! Wake up now, there are still things to do!"Nami looked at the lecherously smiling, drooling Sanji and stomped hard on his face.Sanji was woken up by the pain, angry that his sweet dream had been interrupted, but when he saw it was Nami, he immediately became obedient."Hurry up, something important has happened."Along the way, Nami recounted what had happened, and Usopp and Sanji were still shaken, having been knocked out by drinks.When they arrived, Luffy had also woken up.After only ten minutes of sleep, Luffy was full of vigor, which made Vivi marvel at Luffy's body structure; it was too outrageous.Earlier on the ship, she had seen Luffy eat a huge amount of food, his stomach like a balloon, but he digested it very quickly, like a monster.Vivi asked, "Why did you save me? You were enemies before."Nami began to explain, "It's like this, because of your escort…"Nami finished explaining the situation and said, "That's how it is, so you owe me one billion Berriesas a reward."Vivi understood completely; so that was why they helped her.Seeing Vivi's troubled expression, Nami said, "I think this deal is worth it. Baroque Works is very powerful, right?"Vivi shook her head, "I cannot agree. Although you saved me, it's not that I don't want to give it to you; I really want to, as long as it can save our kingdom. But, don't you know about the Alabasta Kingdom? If it could be saved, I would agree, and I know you have the ability, but I cannot deceive you into agreeing when I won't be able to produce it."Nami was surprised, "It's a kingdom, after all. Can't it even come up with a billion Berries?"Nami found it a bit absurd; it couldn't be that poor, could it?Vivi explained, "It was one of the few countries called civilized and peaceful, but that was in the past."Upon hearing this, Nami and the others were curious. What had happened for a great nation to decline?Vivi said sadly, "Now the kingdom is in civil war. In recent years, people have started planning a revolution, and riots have continuously broken out, making the country more and more chaotic. One day, I heard about an organization called Baroque Works."At this point, Vivi's tone became resentful."I know that this organization is instigating the populace, but when I tried to investigate deeper, I lost all leads and couldn't proceed. So, I chose to go undercover, hoping to find out the mastermind and their objective. Igaram was worried about me, so he went undercover with me."Hearing this, Zoro praised, "You are indeed a very courageous princess. So, have you found out the mastermind and their objective?"Vivi nodded, "They want to establish an ideal country, but that's just what they say. In reality, it's a huge lie. Their true objective is to seize the Alabasta Kingdom. I must return to the country quickly to tell everyone the truth and quell the national riots, otherwise, Alabasta will be ruined."Vivi grew increasingly sorrowful, and at the same time, she hated her own powerlessness and weakness.Nami understood; the great nation had no money because it was in civil war.Zoro asked curiously, "So, who is the mastermind?"Vivi's face was heavy. "Originally, I wouldn't dare to say, and I didn't want to tell you, fearing you would fall into danger. But seeing your strength, perhaps the bounty is not exaggerated, so I'll tell you."Upon hearing this, Zoro and the others felt a good impression of Vivi.Luffy said, "Then speak. As long as it's not an Admiral or a Four Emperors, they can't destroy us.""Then I'll say it. He is Crocodile."Vivi spoke, watching Luffy and the others' reactions."You must have heard of him, right? If you find it troublesome, you don't have to help. Leave it to me… I guess."By the end, Vivi's voice lacked confidence.How could she possibly deal with Crocodile and Baroque Works by herself?She really wanted them to help her, but she didn't have enough money and didn't want them to just help her fight such a formidable enemy.Luffy nodded, "I know."Vivi's heart was anxious, hopeful, but also without expectation."If you know, what's your decision? We can't come up with a billion Berries, so you can choose not to help…"Luffy grinned, "If you can't come up with a billion Berries, then lower the reward to what you can afford. We will help you."This made Vivi pause, staring blankly at Luffy."Lower the reward? If the opponent was weak, it would be fine, but he's Crocodile! Do you really know? His identity, his reputation."Vivi asked for confirmation, looking at the calm Luffy, even doubting if he truly understood.Luffy said casually, "I know. Isn't he just a Seven Warlords of the Sea?"Vivi: "??!!!"...Please give flowers, rating tickets, monthly tickets, and rewards. Thank you very much!Chapter 041: Akainu Wants to Catch the Straw Hat Pirates?Hearing Luffy's words, Vivi was shocked. Isn't he just a Seven Warlords of the Sea? This... Perhaps, coming from Luffy, who has a bounty of one billion Berries, it's not an exaggeration.Luffy and the others took Vivi onto the ship, preparing to head to Alabasta.The next island was Small Garden.To reach Alabasta, they still needed to pass through two islands.Vivi also had some knowledge of navigation, which was perfect for Nami to enter the teaching space.Because they had to pass through two islands and stop at each to let the Log Pose fully charge, Luffyand the others estimated that it would take perhaps two months to reach Alabasta.Vivi was grateful; Luffy and the others were helping her, so she would do her best for the upcoming voyage.Nami entered the teaching space, choosing the garp template and the template of the most famous meteorologist in history.Luffy was certain that after Nami came out, her strength would be even greater than at her strongest in the original plot.Observation Haki and Armament Haki would inevitably be mastered, and she would also possess her own specialized abilities, using the Clima-Tact, and her physical combat skills would not be lacking.Nami also felt that this was the time to enter. After all, with five people on the ship, she was too weak. Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp were all very strong. Although she was a woman, she couldn't drag them down.Nami entered the teaching space and experienced the harshness of the environment there, but she was also excited; such an environment was even better.Afterward, the voyage began... Marineford.Sengoku contacted Aokiji.Learning that Aokiji would take more than two months to find the Straw Hat, Sengoku gave up. Although it was a bit long, it only meant the Straw Hat would live a little longer.Once encountered, facing an Admiral, no matter how powerful they were, they would inevitably be captured.No matter how outrageous a newcomer was, it was impossible for them to escape an Admiral, right?Garp was slightly relieved after knowing this, but his heart remained heavy; they would encounter him sooner or later.He was also glad that Aokiji rode a bicycle and was relatively lazy; if he had used a warships, it would have been much faster.Akainu was angry after finding out."Hmph! To eradicate evil, Kuzan is so slow, what's he doing?"In the office, Akainu's chest heaved with anger, thinking that if he had gone, he would have captured them like lightning.He had been busy with something before, and Kizaru was too, which was why Aokiji was chosen.Akainu thought darkly, "Straw Hat, you're lucky."Akainu felt that Luffy and the others were lucky. If he had been chosen, the Straw Hat would have been captured sooner and locked up in Impel Down.Such a nascent evil, so famous, reaching a billion Berries in a short time, was unprecedented.Akainu really wanted to personally and quickly eradicate them, so he requested."I hope I can be allowed to deal with the Straw Hat Pirates."This made Garp, who was sitting on the sofa, look grim. If that Sakazuki guy went… then… Aokiji was fine; he had looked after him many times when he was young. But Sakazuki's methods were cruel, swift, and he was utterly cold-blooded towards pirates.If Sakazuki acted, then Luffy and the others would truly be in danger… Garp glanced at Sengoku, his heart anxious. If he agreed, it would truly be over.
Luffy, awaken the sun god on top of the sky Chapter 29Even Garp was wondering if Sakazuki really took action, should he intervene.Although he stood firm on his position, that was his grandson.If his grandson's life was in danger, could he still maintain his unwavering stance?Garp didn't know the answer himself when he thought about it.Akainu looked at Sengoku, anticipating and awaiting Sengoku's reply.He felt it should be fine, after all, the Straw Hat Pirates were too prominent, and the Marine and World Government naturally hoped to quickly capture them to deter pirates worldwide.It might also reduce the number of new pirates setting sail.After all, no matter how powerful a rookie was, gaining worldwide fame as soon as he set sail, if he was captured shortly after, what could a monster rookie do? He would still be caught by the Marine, enhancing the deterrent power of the Marine and justice.Then, those who wanted to become pirates would naturally decrease, being influenced.Sengoku was a strategist and could naturally see the benefits of taking down the Straw Hat Pirates.Although they were renowned and monster rookies, in a way, it was a good thing, as long as the Straw Hat Pirates were captured.Sengoku, however, shook his head, which made Akainu frown.Sengoku said, "No need, Sakazuki. An Admiral has already been dispatched. Sending another is impossible. After all, they are a rookie pirate crew, formidable, but not to the extent of sending two Admirals. They are not one of the Four Emperors."Akainu didn't want to give up: "But..."Sengoku interrupted, "Don't think about it, Sakazuki. You must know that the enemy of justice is not just one, but all evil. There are many powerful pirates on the Grand Line, especially the Four Emperors. Sending two Admirals from Marineford at once also carries risks."Sengoku's thoughts were conservative; indeed, it was impossible for all Marineford Admirals to be dispatched, and sending two at once was almost impossible.After all, the Four Emperors were still out there. If they took advantage of the vulnerability, it would be a net loss.Although Marineford still had him and Garp, it wasn't quite enough.Kizaru was busy with other matters, so it was impossible to let Akainu leave as well.Sakazuki could only nod reluctantly, "Understood."Sakazuki left, his face grim: "Kuzan, even though you're lazy, you should be fine, right? Don't fail and make me look down on you."Inside the office, Garp breathed a sigh of relief. Good, Akainu wasn't sent too.Otherwise, it would really be over.Perhaps the Straw Hat Pirates wouldn't encounter Akainu and Aokiji simultaneously, but they would encounter Akainu first, which would be more dangerous than encountering Aokiji.So Garp felt that perhaps there was still hope, it just depended on whether Aokiji would remember old times and show compassion... I ask for flowers, evaluation tickets, monthly tickets, and rewards. Many thanks!!Chapter 042 Emergency FoodHowever, regarding Akainu's words, who was truly lucky?Unbeknownst to them, two months had passed since Nami entered the teaching space.At this time, Luffy and the others were preparing to leave Drum Island, and Nami was also about to come out.Whoosh!The next moment, Nami appeared in front of Luffy.Her appearance had changed; she was more beautiful, her chest was larger, her figure was more curvaceous, and instead of short orange hair, she now had long hair.Her appearance had changed significantly, but her strength had changed even more.Nami was happy; she knew her current strength best.Not to say she was stronger than Luffy, Zoro, or Sanji, but she was very good now.Luffy and the other three were the three main powerhouses of the ship, so they couldn't be compared. But now, her strength could at least ensure she wasn't a burden, and could even play a role.After Nami came out, she gave Luffy a hug.After all, it had been two years, and Nami missed him terribly."Nami, your physical techniques, Haki, and ability to use climate with the Clima-Tact must be very strong now, right?" Luffy asked curiously.Nami smiled proudly: "That's a given."Zoro had a bit of a headache, thinking,'She'll probably hit us even harder now.'"Huh?"Nami noticed a small Reindeer and looked at Luffy, puzzled: "Did you get a pet for the ship?""I'm not a pet," Chopper emphasized."Ah? It can talk." Nami jumped in surprise.Luffy began to explain.Nami understood that two months had passed outside. Luffy and the others had first gone to Small Garden, then Drum Island, where some things happened, and they met Chopper.And now, Chopper was ready to leave, becoming the sixth crew member.Nami thought it was very good.The going merry was sailing away from Drum Island, with cherry blossoms falling.Chopper looked at Drum Island, feeling a bit reluctant."Doctor, Doctor Kureha, I'm leaving. My adventure is finally about to begin."Chopper was excited; he also really wanted to set sail.Luffy and the others were happy, drinking and making merry.Usopp shouted, "Chopper, don't just stand there, come on over and play with us."Sanji pulled Chopper over and said, "Let's sing together."Zoro offered him a drink: "How about we drink together instead?"Chopper was a bit unaccustomed and still felt a little out of place.Nami said, "You've also become a companion to these crazy, silly guys."Chopper muttered to himself, "Companions...""Yes, everyone will be companions from now on, so you must get used to it."Just then, Vivi pulled Speedy out of the sea and onto the ship.Speedy shivered, frozen stiff. Drum Island and its surroundings had snow year-round, and the river was very cold.Vivi was puzzled: "Speedy, how did you fall into the sea?"Zoro scoffed: "Haha, he probably slipped and fell into the sea. What a dumb duck."When Chopper got closer, he heard Speedyquacking and understood.Chopper looked at Zoro and explained, "He said there was a person named Zoro swimming in the river, and then he disappeared, so he thought something had happened to him and jumped in after him, which is why he's like this."Zoro: "..."This made Zoro a little embarrassed. He had just been swimming and momentarily lost his sense of direction, taking a long time to find his way back.Vivi was surprised: "Chopper, you can understand what Speedy says?"Chopper nodded: "Yes, because I am originally an animal, I can talk to animals."Nami's eyes lit up, and she praised, "Chopper, you're amazing! I didn't expect you to not only be skilled in medicine but also have such an ability."Chopper was a bit embarrassed by the praise, cursing with his mouth but clearly enjoying it with a happy expression."Idiot, even if you praise me like that, I won't be happy."Zoro and the others paused: "Chopper is skilled in medicine?"Nami, however, was stunned: "Hey, I haven't been here this whole time, don't you guys know? Then why did you want Chopper to join the crew?"Nami was speechless; she had just learned this through conversation, but Zoro and the others didn't know. How had they been getting along all this time?Sanji said, "Seven-stage transformation, an interesting Reindeer."Luffy stated directly, "Emergency food.""Huh?" Chopper jumped in surprise.Upon hearing this, Nami immediately punched Sanji and Luffy, causing bumps to appear on their heads."You guys are truly speechless. Chopper is the ship's doctor; I just came out and I know more than you do."Sanji and Zoro and the others also understood. This was good; there wasn't a ship's doctor on board yet.Nami was now anticipating: "Luffy's bounty is one billion, Zoro's is 350 million, Sanji's bounty will come out sooner or later and won't be low, and there's Usopp. I wonder how much my bounty will be."Luffy said, "Make a big ruckus, and you'll get one."Nami thought the same, nodding: "Hmm, then let's go make a big ruckus in Alabasta. To be precise, let's make a big ruckus with Baroque Works."Nami's words made Usopp and Sanji also eager to make a big ruckus soon, so they could also get bounties.Usopp yearned for his own bounty, getting closer and closer to becoming a brave warrior of the sea.Sanji, on the other hand, looked forward to his handsome photo appearing, seen by beauties all over the world, knowing his existence, name, abilities, chef, gentleman, handsome, how perfect he was.That way, he wouldn't have to worry about women not liking him in the future.Thinking of this, Sanji's eyes turned into hearts, and he couldn't wait: "We'll be in Alabasta soon. When we get there, that Shichibukai, I'll take care of him. I want to see my bounty poster as soon as possible."Luffy sighed inwardly: "Sanji, the greater the expectation, the greater the disappointment."Sanji naturally didn't know what his bounty poster would look like. Luffy knew and felt some sympathy for Sanji.Of course, Luffy felt more sympathy for that person.Luffy said, "Okay, then Alabasta, Sanji, I'll leave it to you."This surprised Vivi. Facing Baroque Works, were they all not going to fight, only letting Sanji fight?Wouldn't that be too overconfident?But, thinking of Luffy's phrase, 'Isn't he just a Shichibukai?', perhaps it was confidence.Luffy and Zoro both wanted to see Sanji's current strength more clearly, so when the time came, they would let Sanji handle it first... I ask for flowers, evaluation tickets, rewards, and monthly tickets. Many thanks!!Chapter 043 Single-handedly Destroying Baroque Works?Vivi stepped forward and asked, "Are you fighting Crocodile alone, or the entire Baroque Worksalone?"Zoro said, "He'll fight Crocodile alone. The rest of Baroque Works, leave them to me."Vivi understood, and Sanji felt that a one-on-one fight was also fine."Fighting the entire Baroque Works alone is no problem; I can do it."Sanji wanted to show off in front of Vivi and glanced at Zoro."I don't need your help."Nami reminded him, "Even if you're very strong, he is a Shichibukai after all. You might be able to defeat him in a one-on-one fight, but with so many ability users in his organization, fighting them all, plus Crocodile, would be very strenuous, wouldn't it? Let's go with what Zoro said."Sanji immediately nodded: "Okay, Miss Nami."Vivi introduced: "Then I'll tell you about the members of Baroque Works, to make it easier for the two of you to deal with them later.""It's like this: although the names are complex and varied, they're not actually that complicated...""The top boss is Crocodile, also known as Mr. 0."
Luffy, awaken the sun god on top of the sky Chapter 30"There are twelve people and one animal who directly obey Crocodile. They are Mr. 1 to Mr. 13.""These people are each paired with a female partner.""Mr. 1 is paired with Miss New Year's Day. Mr. 2 is the only one without a partner. Mr. 3 is the Candle Man we met in Small Garden, and his partner is Miss Goldenweek.""Mr. 4 is paired with Miss Christmas, and you already know Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine; you've dealt with them.""Mr. 1 to 5 are all senior agents and all Devil Fruitusers, only deployed for important missions.""Mr. 6 to 13 are ordinary staff, not very strong. So Zoro, your main opponents are seven."After listening, Zoro thought it was very simple.Although there were many people, together they were no match for Crocodile, so it would be very easy.After listening, Sanji even felt he could try to wipe out Baroque Works by himself."In that case, they aren't very strong. Should I try it alone?" Sanji suggested.Vivi shook her head, reminding him, "You two should still take action when the time comes, because Mr. 1 is very strong. He has followed Crocodile for a long time and is a Dice-Dice Fruit user, with impressive swordsmanship."Zoro, however, was slightly interested: "Then don't disappoint me."After understanding everything, Luffy and the others went fishing.Meanwhile, Chopper was temporarily gone, having clearly entered the teaching space.Luffy had Chopper choose the garp template and the Kaido template.Teacher Kai still had a lot to offer.After Chopper learned about the teaching space, he was very willing to enter, wanting to become stronger.Although he was a doctor, it would be best if he could help in battle to prevent his companions from getting hurt.Hearing that the garp template could teach physical techniques well, and the Kaido template could teach Haki and Devil Fruit awakening, Chopper was filled with anticipation.However, thinking of the two years, Chopper was reluctant, but to become stronger, two years of training were necessary.Chopper began his training in the teaching space.Luffy and the others were looking forward to seeing what changes Chopper would undergo after he came out.Even Luffy was curious to what extent he would reach.Luffy couldn't imagine it for Sanji and Zoro, he could still picture some things, but for Chopper, Luffy was curious to what extent he would reach.He also wondered if he would be able to awaken after coming out.After all, there was the Kaido template.After seven days of sailing, they were getting closer and closer to Alabasta.The ingredients prepared on Drum Island were all eaten, and Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp were fishing.Luffy rubbed his stomach: "So hungry, the fish still aren't biting."Usopp had a headache: "Luffy, it's because you ate all the bait, that's why we can't catch anything now.""So hungry."Luffy rubbed his rumbling stomach.Everyone else was also very hungry, let alone Luffy.Luffy asked: "Sanji, are there no ingredients left on the ship at all?"Sanji nodded: "Yes, you guys hurry up and get some ingredients."Luffy looked around the ship, his gaze quickly settling on Speedy.Speedy immediately became uneasy. Being stared at by Luffy, he grew increasingly anxious, trembling, thinking, "He's not going to eat me, is he?"Luffy pointed at Speedy and asked Vivi: "That, can we stew it?"At once, Speedy was so scared he jumped into the sea.Vivi rubbed her forehead and said: "Definitely not.""Alright, I have an idea."Luffy's eyes lit up, looking at Speedy who had jumped into the sea.Speedy was scared, thinking, "Are they not going to let me go even now?"Luffy's arm suddenly stretched out, quickly grabbing Speedy and pulling him up.Speedy was very scared, struggling.Vivi worried: "Luffy, what are you going to do?"Luffy tied Speedy to the fishing bait and then put him into the sea.Vivi: "..."Vivi was speechless, seemingly understanding.Usopp's eyes lit up; this could work.Usopp understood: "This is a good method. I hope we can catch a shark."Luffy felt it wasn't enough: "Let's catch a Sea Kings, that'll be enough to eat."This made Speedy curse inwardly; a Sea Kings, how terrifying.Luffy comforted: "Speedy, don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you."Vivi also comforted: "Speedy, just act as bait for a while. Trust Luffy's strength."Only then did Speedy calm down, floating in the sea.The method was very successful. Before long, they caught a shark, which was given to Sanji to prepare.It wasn't enough, so they continued.Soon, a Sea Kings, resembling a giraffe with a fish body and ten meters long, appeared."Usopp, it's up to you.""Okay!""Deadly, Fireball!"Boom!!With a sudden explosion, flames shot into the sky, and the Sea Kings let out a mournful shriek, floating belly-up on the sea surface.Luffy praised: "Usopp, that was amazing!""Hehe, two years of training weren't for nothing."With enough ingredients, Luffy began to wait.Just then, Vivi's expression changed as she looked ahead: "What is that?"...Please give fresh flowers, rating votes, monthly passes, and rewards. Thank you very much!!!Chapter 044: Encountering Bon ClayOn the sea ahead, green steam billowed.Vivi felt they shouldn't get closer; she was acting as Navigator now.Vivi told the going merry to stop first, and while thinking, she understood."I know, that's steam. There's a volcano underwater. We can proceed, but it will be a bit hot."The going merry continued forward, entering the steam. It was indeed very hot and choking, with a strong smell of sulfur, and nothing could be seen.Vivi said: "Everyone, bear with it, we'll pass through quickly."Just then, another ship also entered.There were three people on the ship, with the leader sitting in the middle, looking like an Okama, with a pair of white swan wings on his back. It was none other than Mr. 2, Bon Clay.A subordinate reported: "Mr. Bon Clay, there's smoke ahead.""It doesn't matter, charge through!""Mr. Bon Clay, won't there be any danger?""I must deal with Mr. 3, otherwise my life will be in danger. Proceed.""Yes."...The ship sailed in, and then came their screams.After passing through, two people discovered that Bon Clay was missing and were startled."Ah? Where's Mr. Bon Clay?""Quickly search the ship."...At this moment, as the going merry passed through the steam, Luffy and Usopp were about to reel in their lines and pull Speedy up, but they felt it was a bit heavier.However, when they reeled it in halfway and looked down, Usopp was stunned, while Luffy was not surprised internally.There was a person on Speedy; it was Bon Clay.Bon Clay was a bit confused: "Why am I floating in the air, holding a duck?"Usopp was astonished: "Is he human? I thought he was a small, strange goose."Luffy said: "He's clearly human, not a goose, and certainly not edible."Bon Clay let go and fell, completely powerless, calling for help."Help... help me... I can't swim, glug glug..."Bon Clay sank, but was quickly rescued by Usopp.Bon Clay coughed repeatedly, relieved that he was saved."Phew, I thought I was a goner. To be saved by pirates I've never met, I'll never forget your great kindness. I, Bon Clay, always repay kindness and am very loyal."Usopp asked: "You can't swim?"Bon Clay stated directly: "I am a Devil Fruit user."Usopp understood, just like Luffy.Soon, Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, and Bon Clay were all playing together.Not long after, Bon Clay's ship approached.Bon Clay walked to the bow, jumped onto his ship, and turned his back to Luffy and the others, feeling a bit regretful."My ship has arrived. It's time to say goodbye, what a pity."Although they had only known each other for a short time, they had a lot of fun, and Usopp was a little reluctant to part."Don't go! Let's play a little longer."Bon Clay appeared to be an Okama, but at this moment, he stood tall and straight like a true man."Don't be sad. There are always meetings and partings on a journey, but as long as you don't forget this one thing: our friendship. Even though our time together was short, we are still friends. Goodbye."Bon Clay jumped onto his ship and said to his subordinates: "Let's go.""Yes, Mr. 2 Bon Clay!"The ship quickly sailed away, with fast-spinning turbines at its bottom.Usopp and the others were startled, "Mr. 2?"Usopp and the others looked at Vivi: "Didn't you recognize him just now?"Vivi shook her head: "No, I've never seen him before. I only knew he was a tall ballet dancer; I didn't realize it was him."
I, Luffy, awaken the Sun God at Marineford Chapter 31Usopp's face was solemn: "This ability is terrifying. After all, it caused turmoil in Alabasta and can transform into anyone, like your father..."Vivi's face was solemn. Thinking of this, that ability was indeed terrifying...After Bon Clay boarded the ship, he danced ballet with one leg, very happily.His subordinate asked, puzzled: "Bon Clay-sama, why have you suddenly become so happy?"Bon Clay replied happily: "Because I gained a small friendship."Bon Clay looked forward to seeing them again, and if any of them encountered difficulties in the future, he would definitely help...Soon, the going merry was approaching Alabasta, and the desert could already be seen.Luffy and the others tied white armbands on their left arms, having learned Bon Clay's identity, to prevent him from transforming into someone and infiltrating them.Luffy and the others stood in a circle, extending their left arms, looking at the white armbands on their wrists, and said in a solemn voice:"This on our left arm is the symbol of a companion. So, let's land."Luffy and the others went ashore, and Luffy, impatient, was the first to run ahead.However, he quickly got lost.Luffy, of course, did it on purpose, filled with anticipation, because he was about to meet Ace.Vivi was with Sanji and Zoro, and Luffy was at ease; everyone's strength had grown considerably.Sanji, upon arriving in the town, loved it here because it was very hot, so the women wore very little, with bare midriffs and basically only a bellyband on top.Sanji had a lot of nosebleeds along the way but still couldn't help but look.Vivi reminded him: "Like this, how will you deal with Crocodile later? Don't look anymore. If you keep bleeding, won't you faint?"Usopp said: "It's fine, Sanji won't let himself faint.""Alright."...At this moment, Crocodile had already learned that the Straw Hat were going to help Vivi fight him.Crocodile naturally knew the Straw Hat Pirates, and even more so, Luffy."A bounty of one billion Berries."Even so, Crocodile wasn't afraid. Even if he faced Whitebeard, he would fight him. What was a one billion bounty?He took a puff from his cigar, exhaling smoke, and Crocodile said in a deep voice: "Just come, I'll take that one billion head."With that, he raised the golden hook on his left hand, a cold smile on his face... Please give flowers, evaluation tickets, monthly tickets, and rewards. Thank you very much!!!Chapter 045 Luffy Meets AceAt this moment, in a restaurant in Alabasta town.Ace was eating here, with more than twenty bowls stacked beside him.He came here to ask if anyone had seen Luffy, but there was no one.Having eaten and drunk his fill, Ace was about to leave.But at this moment, Smoker walked in.Smoker noticed Ace and said in a deep voice: "You're really bold, daring to eat openly in public. Portgas D. Ace, Commander of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates."The restaurant owner and the surrounding diners' faces changed drastically upon hearing this."White... Whitebeard Pirates."No one could not have heard of them. That was a Four Emperors crew, and they were called the strongest Four Emperor Crews. Their Captain was the strongest man in the world, arguably the strongest Pirate Crew."That young man is actually the Commander of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates.""So young, yet so powerful.""I recognized the mark on his back, the mark of the Whitebeard Pirates.""Why is he here?"...Everyone was surprised and puzzled.Smoker was also puzzled: "What does a famous great pirate want to do in this country?"Ace turned around and said directly: "I'm looking for someone, my brother.""I want to eat!!!"Just then, both Smoker and Ace were startled.Everyone was startled, because the shout came from outside, and the sound was so loud it seemed to echo throughout the entire town.Luffy arrived in the town, smelled the aroma of food, and ran quickly.Seeing the restaurant, his eyes lit up, and he sprinted at full speed, drooling uncontrollably. He could finally eat a big meal.He was too hungry, too thirsty; he wanted to eat meat and drink juice.Although it sounded somewhat familiar, Smokerdidn't care about that anymore. Since the person opposite was a pirate, and from the Whitebeard Pirates, he had to act.Smoker clenched his right fist, smoke swirling, preparing to strike."Rubber... Rocket!"Luffy, impatient, stretched his arms a hundred meters away, grabbed both sides of the restaurant door, and then instantly shot forward.With a whoosh, he shot into the restaurant, directly hitting Smoker's back, and Ace, who was facing Smoker, was also hit.With a bang, a hole was smashed into the restaurant wall.The people around watched dumbfounded. Luffyjumped back to the counter, impatient."I finally found the restaurant! I can finally eat! I'm starving! Hurry, hurry!"Knowing that the other party was not to be trifled with, the restaurant owner signaled the server to bring the food here.Looking at the seafood ramen, large fish, and meat, Luffy devoured it."So delicious."The restaurant owner watched, dumbfounded. He ate even more than the previous one.The restaurant owner kindly reminded: "Um, you'd best escape quickly.""Huh? Why?" Luffy hadn't realized yet."The two people you sent flying just now are not to be trifled with.""Huh?" Luffy was startled.A hundred meters away, many houses had holes punched through them.At the end, from the ruins, Ace and Smokercrawled out."Which bastard was that?"Ace and Smoker didn't immediately fight but walked straight through the holes towards the restaurant.Upon entering, Ace was surprised: "Lu... Luffy!"Smoker was startled, Straw Hat.Seeing Ace, Luffy's eyes lit up, and he directly pounced on him."Ace! Long time no see, I missed you so much."Ace was also very happy; it had been a long time.Smoker's face turned ugly. Fire Fist Ace, Straw Hat Luffy. This... he couldn't possibly be their opponent. He had fought Straw Hat before, and the gap was too big.Luffy and Ace shook hands, placing them on the counter, arm wrestling.The two were in a stalemate. Ace was trembling because he was almost at his limit, exerting great effort.But looking at Luffy, he was very calm.With a bang, Ace's hand was pressed down on the table. He lost.Ace praised: "After more than three years, Luffy, your improvement is indeed significant. Your bounty doesn't seem exaggerated; you're truly amazing."Ace was surprised. He knew Luffy was stronger than before, but he didn't expect him to be this strong. He was very curious how Luffy had trained over these three years.Ace sighed softly: "Luffy, it seems you're stronger than me."Luffy humbly said: "Perhaps I'm stronger in terms of power, but Ace, you ate the Mera Mera no Mi, so it's hard to say."Ace smiled: "My bounty is only five hundred million Berries."Luffy smiled: "It doesn't always depend on the bounty."Smoker watched the two brothers recognize each other and converse, not knowing what to do.Go fight? He couldn't win. Not fight? As a Marine, it was a disgrace to justice."Are you pretending I don't exist?" Smoker was a bit angry.Ace remembered: "Ah, there's still a nuisance."Luffy looked over: "It's you, Smoker.""Although I'm not your opponent, I still have to act."Smoker's body was wreathed in smoke, preparing to move.Luffy acted directly: "Sending you flying won't be that embarrassing."Luffy raised his right hand, which instantly turned black, and quickly threw a punch.With a bang, Smoker found it difficult to dodge. The strength gap was too great, and he was directly sent flying.Smoker actually wanted this. Although it was a bit humiliating, he couldn't win.Furthermore, he was thinking of contacting Aokiji.After being sent flying, Smoker got up from the ruins a thousand meters away and called Marine Soldiers over."Spread out your eyes and keep track of their movements.""Yes."Smoker dialed his transponder snail to contact Aokiji.Aokiji, who was leisurely riding his bicycle on the sea, was enjoying himself.Buru-buru... The transponder snail rang, and Aokijianswered."Admiral Kuzan, it's me, Smoker.""It's you. Is something wrong?""Fleet Admiral Sengoku asked me to find the Straw Hat's whereabouts. I've encountered them; they've arrived in Alabasta. Straw Hat is not far from me now. Where are you?"Aokiji said apologetically: "Um, I'm sorry. In Alabasta? It would take me three more days to get there."This made Smoker's face slightly grim. Three more days, but it was fine. The Straw Hat had just arrived in Alabasta and wouldn't leave within three days."Alright then, Admiral Kuzan, I'll keep an eye on the Straw Hat. I'll wait for you in three days.""Okay."...
I, Luffy, awaken the sun god on top of the sky Chapter 32Hanging up the phone, Smoker was a bit conflicted, looking with pity in the direction of the restaurant."Once Admiral Kuzan arrives, you're finished, Fire Fist Ace, Straw Hat Luffy, I mourn for you."...Please give flowers, rating tickets, monthly tickets, and rewards. Thank you very much!!!Chapter 046: Conqueror's Haki Shocks AceLuffy prepared to go find his companions, traveling with Ace.Ace sighed, "You haven't changed at all, except for one thing that surprised me: your strength."Ace hadn't expected Luffy to become so strong; although he wasn't entirely clear on the specifics, he might not be inferior to himself.Recalling their childhood, the three brothers, Luffywas the weakest, and Ace couldn't help but smile.However, a hint of sadness lingered in the depths of his eyes; if Sabo were also by his side now, it would be perfect.But Ace knew that was impossible.Luffy sensed the sadness in the depths of Ace's eyes, knowing he was thinking of Sabo.Luffy wanted to say that there would be a chance for the three brothers to reunite.But naturally, he couldn't say that; first, for them to truly reunite, the outcome of the Summit War would have to be rewritten.Ace asked curiously, "Speaking of which, what kind of people are your companions?"Luffy proudly replied, "I currently have five companions. Although not many, they are all very impressive."Luffy introduced them: "There's a Swordsman who wants to become the World's Strongest Swordsman, and a Navigator who loves money and tangerines and wants to draw a complete world map. Then there's a Chef who cooks excellent food and is also very strong. There's also an amazing Sniper who always tells lies, but I believe they will all come true. And recently, I found a new companion, who is a Reindeer."After listening, Ace smiled, "Your preferences are truly diverse."Luffy said, "There's also a Princess and a duck, who are also companions; everyone is very interesting."Walking through the alley, suddenly, many people appeared in front, behind, and on the rooftops.It could be said that people were everywhere, surrounding them from all directions, some holding swords, some holding guns, all of them fierce and clearly having killed many people."Two guys with very high bounties: Fire Fist Acewith 500 million, and Straw Hat Luffy with 1 billion.""We're going to get rich!""Although they're strong, we're all bounty hunters, and with so many of us, there's hope.""With so many guns aimed at them, no matter how strong they are, they're finished."...Luffy was helpless; this world never lacked cannon fodder, and the key was their ignorance.Ace looked at Luffy and asked, "Luffy, you or me?"Luffy calmly said, "I'll do it."Luffy made no movement, merely raising his headsharply, his eyes narrowing, exuding Haki.Instantly, Conqueror's Haki swept out.In that instant, Ace was shaken, his expression changing in surprise: "This…"Bang, bang, bang, bang… Soon, the surrounding bounty hunters successively fainted and fell to the ground; even those with some strength also fainted.Ace wasn't surprised that Luffy possessed Conqueror's Haki, but rather by how strong this Haoshoku was, causing even those with some strength to faint.Ace had met Red Hair and witnessed his Conqueror's Haki, which made him feel that he was indeed the most powerful man in the world.His Conqueror's Haki was also the world's number one, causing actual damage.Although Luffy couldn't yet cause actual damage with his Conqueror's Haki, Ace felt it was possible.Ace exclaimed, "Such powerful Haoshoku…"If it were him, he wouldn't be able to knock out all these people with Conqueror's Haki.Looking at the surprised Ace, Luffy smiled, "Let's go."Luffy walked forward, and Ace, having composed himself, quickly followed.Before him was his familiar younger brother, yet also a bit unfamiliar; his strength was so unfamiliar that Ace couldn't quite see through him anymore.But Ace was happy inside; this was even better, as this world was still very dangerous, and they had only just begun, not yet encountering truly powerful enemies.Ace thought to himself, "This makes me even more relieved."Subsequently, Luffy and Ace arrived at where the going merry was docked, and Zoro and the others were all there.Once on board, Luffy said, "Ace, these are my companions I just told you about."Ace amicably said, "My younger brother has been taken care of by you all; please continue to look after him."The going merry sailed away, but behind them, five large ships appeared, each carrying hundreds of people.Vivi's expression changed, "It's the Baroque Works' Billion's ships."Ace jumped onto his own boat and said, "Leave it to me."Zoro looked a bit expectant, "Let us witness the strength of the Whitebeard Pirates' Second Division Commander."Flames surged from Ace's feet, and his single-sailed small boat rapidly advanced, approaching the five large ships.Whoosh!Upon nearing them, Ace leaped into the air.The people on the ships sneered."Jumping into the air, seeking death.""Let's see how you dodge. Fire the cannons!""Shoot! Full firepower!"...Boom, boom, boom… Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh… Immediately, a hail of bullets and dense black cannonballs rained down on Ace.However, Ace's entire body was engulfed in flames; bullets and cannonballs had no effect whatsoever.Ace's fist ignited with surging flames, which he powerfully unleashed."Fire Fist!!"Boom!!"Ah!!"A massive flaming fist swept out, utterly destroying all five ships that were connected, with continuous explosions and pervasive firelight.In the next instant, everyone was swallowed by the sea, leaving only some burning ship wreckage floating on the surface, shrouded in smoke.Usopp was shocked, "So powerful…"Chopper's eyes shone, "As expected of Luffy's brother."Soon, Ace returned, and Sanji went to prepare delicious food and drinks.Once everything was ready, Luffy and the others ate, drank, and chatted together.Ace praised, "Luffy, your Chef's cooking skills are indeed excellent."Luffy grinned, "It's not an exaggeration to say he's the world's number one."Ace felt it wasn't an exaggeration; he truly thought it was amazing. Although the crew was small in number, each one was top-notch.There was someone aiming to be the World's Strongest Swordsman, someone with the potential to be the world's number one Chef, someone with the potential to be the world's number oneNavigator, and also someone with the potential to be the world's number one Sniper, and the world's number one Doctor.And Luffy, he was going to become the Pirate King.Such a Pirate Crew was truly impressive.Luffy wanted Ace to join, but knew it was impossible, so he didn't say anything.Luffy asked, "Ace, are you here looking for me?"Ace shook his head, "It was an accidental encounter. I'm actually chasing a man."This made Luffy realize who it was.Zoro and the others were curious; the man Fire Fist Ace was pursuing must also be extraordinary, so they listened quietly.Ace's eyes turned cold, "His name is Blackbeard."...Please give flowers, rating tickets, monthly tickets, and rewards. Thank you very much!!!Chapter 047: Straw Hat Pirates Crushes Baroque WorksLuffy wouldn't try to persuade Ace not to pursue Blackbeard, knowing it would be useless.Two days later, Ace departed.Luffy knew that the next time they met would be at the Summit War.Luffy and the others headed directly to Baroque Works; with their immense strength, they could simply force their way in.Just as they were about to arrive, Crocodile had already led his Executives out.Sanji and Zoro stepped forward, ready to engage.This made Crocodile frown slightly, "Not coming together?"Sanji exhaled smoke, "No need."This angered Crocodile; it was an absolute insult, a display of contempt."Then I'll deal with you first, and then the others."Zoro charged towards the other Executives, but Mr. 1 blocked Zoro.Zoro was slightly interested, knowing that this was Crocodile's strongest subordinate."Don't disappoint me," Zoro's fighting spirit surged.Knowing that the opponent had a bounty of 350 million, Mr. 1 dared not be careless and immediately used his Devil Fruit ability.His arms transformed into blades, and he quickly rushed forward.Zoro drew his wado ichimonji and easily parried Mr. 1's rapid slashes.After parrying ten moves and getting a general idea, Zoro found it uninteresting."Is that all?"Zoro flicked his sword, directly sending Mr. 1 flying backward.This shook Mr. 1: "Such powerful strength."That single sword strike almost made him fall backward; his body nearly lost control."Don't underestimate me too much."Mr. 1 fully activated his Dice-Dice Fruit ability, transforming his body to have steel-like hardness."Slicing Human!"Mr. 1's entire body instantly became impervious to blades and bullets, and when using Slicing Human, his hardness would increase even further.Zoro swung his sword, feeling it was barely acceptable."This is barely acceptable."
I, Luffy, awaken the sun god on top of the sky Chapter 33Clangs echoed continuously as Zoro swung his sword at close range, sparks flying.Mr. 1 was internally shaken because Zoro was just making ordinary swings, not even using any sword techniques.He, on the other hand, was going all out, but as their blades repeatedly clashed, his arms were still numb from the vibrations.Moreover, Zoro was like a wild beast, fighting more fiercely with each strike, and Mr. 1 gradually found himself unable to keep up.Zoro decided to finish the fight quickly; although this guy had some strength, the gap between them was still too wide."Next, I'll finish you in one move."Zoro sheathed wado ichimonji, holding the scabbard with his left hand and the sword hilt with his right, and crouched forward, assuming a drawing stance.This made Mr. 1 wary, knowing that his opponent wanted to end the fight quickly, which felt somewhat humiliating."While you are indeed powerful, don't talk nonsense about defeating me in one move!"Mr. 1 defended with all his might, confident that with his Chop-Chop Devil Fruit, his body's hardness surpassed steel; it was impossible to defeat him in one move.Zoro's eyes turned cold, and he suddenly drew his sword, a low hum filling the air."One Sword Style Iai: Black Blade, Death, Lion Song!"wado ichimonji instantly turned into a black blade, and the moment it was drawn, Zoro had already flashed behind Mr. 1.The sword slowly slid back into its scabbard, and the instant it was fully sheathed, Mr. 1 let out a scream."Ah!!!"As he screamed, a large amount of blood spurted from his chest, Mr. 1's eyes rolled back, blood oozed from the corner of his mouth, and he collapsed onto the ground with a thud, which quickly became stained red with blood.This shocked Crocodile; he was defeated in one move.The other Executives were astonished; Mr. 1 was much stronger than them, yet he was instantly defeated by this Zoro.In truth, it could have been even quicker, but Zorohad only been using ordinary slashes at first.Vivi watched in astonishment: "So powerful."As the other Executives swarmed forward, Zorolost interest."If the strongest is like this, then you all make me lose interest as well.""Black Rope: Great Dragon Twister!"Whoosh!After one move, all the other Executives were swept up, screaming, and then slammed to the ground.Zoro sheathed his sword and walked back to his team, saying to Sanji as he passed him: "Finish it quickly."Sanji replied: "Don't worry, I won't be slower than you."Pfft!Instantly, Sanji's right leg ignited with orange flames, and he leaped up."Diable Jambe: Flambage Shot!"Crocodile tried to elementalize, but realized that he could be substantially harmed by Armament Haki.Sanji instantly unleashed a barrage of flaming kicks, covering the air above Crocodile.Crocodile's face was grim, showing pain.Luffy waited; he wasn't interested in his current opponent, not even Crocodile."Desert Spada!"A sword condensed from sand slashed out, but Sanji easily dodged it.Sanji moved rapidly, stepping on air.Crocodile was shaken: "Such incredible speed."Whoosh!Sanji flew down with a kick, and Crocodile roared."Desert Grande Espada!"Crocodile slammed his hand onto the ground, his arm transforming into a sand blade that instantly rose from the ground beneath Sanji like a great sword.This move was very fast.Luffy remembered that during the Summit War, Akainu was bisected by this move from Crocodile, though it didn't cause him any actual harm.Sanji didn't have a Devil Fruit, nor was he a Logia-type, but he still dodged it with his own speed.His Observation Haki was also superb; Sanji's strength was above Crocodile's, so it was impossible for him not to dodge.Boom!!An explosion erupted, and Crocodile was sent flying, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth.Vivi's eyes lit up at the sight; Sanji clearly had the advantage.Recalling Luffy's earlier words, that a Shichibukaiwas nothing special, it really wasn't an exaggeration.Crocodile's face was grim; the Straw Hat Pirates, and not even Captain Luffy was fighting, yet he was in such a state—it was too humiliating."Sandstorm!""Let everything be pulverized."Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... A sandstorm appeared in his palm, then he unleashed it, and it instantly became massive, growing larger and larger with a howling sound.Crocodile was preparing to leave, because if it continued, he wouldn't be able to control it himself.Sanji directly charged into the storm, unleashing a Diable Jambe kick."Diable Jambe: Boeuf Burst!"This kick was incredibly powerful, directly dispersing the storm.This shocked Crocodile; he was so strong... Please give flowers, evaluation tickets, and monthly tickets. Thank you very much!.Chapter 048: Sanji's TragedyCrocodile's face was grim; how could he be so strong?Sanji exhaled smoke: "I need to defeat you quickly in this battle to make my name resound throughout the world, so more beautiful women will know me."Sanji considered whether to use Diable Jambe, but then decided against it; it wasn't necessary.Although this Crocodile was a Shichibukai, he wasn't considered particularly strong among them.Sanji charged forward rapidly again, launching fierce kicks.Crocodile fought with all his heart and soul, his face extremely grim, never expecting that dealing with a cook from the Straw Hat Pirates would be so difficult.In fact, to be precise, he was no match!If this guy was so strong, then how strong was Straw Hat?Crocodile only knew of two powerful members of the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy and Zoro, but he never expected there to be another one so formidable.Zoro returned to the team and began to wait.Vivi was happy; facing the Straw Hat Pirates, Baroque Works was no match at all.Crocodile's face was grim; after fighting for another fifteen minutes, he still couldn't defeat Sanji.Moreover, his injuries were getting worse and worse.He couldn't defeat Sanji, let alone Luffy, and there was even Zoro.Crocodile gave up, knowing he had lost, and swept away in a storm, taking Mr. 1 with him.But afterward, he encountered Smoker.Smoker had been tracking the Straw Hat Pirates' movements, arrived here, and also learned of the battle between the Straw Hat Pirates and Baroque Works.Thus, upholding the excellent tradition of the Marine, seizing an opportunity, he naturally wouldn't let Crocodile go.Smoker said in a deep voice: "Will you willingly be captured and sent to Impel Down, or will you fight?"Crocodile coldly said: "Stop talking nonsense."The battle began.Even if Smoker's strength was inferior to Crocodile's, he still had other forces, and Mr. 1 was severely injured, with Crocodile's situation not looking optimistic either.After a period of continuous fighting, Crocodile was captured.Soon after, at Marineford, Sengoku learned of this matter.Sengoku was shaken; the Straw Hat Pirates had gained another formidable member.He began to investigate his identity, and Sengokuhad already set the bounty and chosen the portrait.But after learning his identity, he was helpless; the portrait could only be changed to a hand-drawn one, and with some random excuse, the bountycouldn't be too high.Sengoku decided: "Let's set the bounty at 200 million Berries.""Yes!"Defeating Crocodile, a bounty that was neither too high nor too low.Garp frowned: "Defeated Crocodile, and from the intelligence, it wasn't even difficult, just 200 million?"Sengoku nodded: "Yes, there are other factors, which I won't mention."...Sanji's wanted poster began to be produced.At the same time, at the Alabasta Royal Palace, a banquet was being held in celebration.Vivi and the people of Alabasta were incredibly grateful to the Straw Hat Pirates.Knowing Crocodile's conspiracy, everyone was fortunate to have met the Straw Hat Pirates, and fortunate that the Princess knew such friends.While Vivi was grateful, she also felt some reluctance and sadness within her.Because she knew that they would soon leave, once the Log Pose was fully charged... Soon, the news that the Straw Hat Pirates had easily defeated the Shichibukai Crocodile spread, and people in many parts of the world were discussing it."The Straw Hat Pirates are really making a name for themselves lately.""Yes, they're the most attention-grabbing rookie pirate crew.""They're truly amazing; the one who defeated Crocodile wasn't Straw Hat Luffy, or Pirate Hunter Zoro, but another member.""The Straw Hat Pirates don't have many members, but they're all incredibly strong.""The wanted poster is out.""Ah, is this that Black Leg Sanji? He's so ugly.""Yes, he's so ugly.""He's the ugliest person I've ever seen, ugh."...At this moment, Sanji was overjoyed, knowing that his wanted poster would definitely be released.During the banquet, Sanji was blissfully fantasizing."When my wanted poster comes out, it's definitely going to charm a lot of girls; that's great, just thinking about it makes me excited, so happy."Sanji's eyes turned into hearts, and he was very happy.Just then, a Soldier came in with a wanted poster.
I, Luffy, awaken the sun god on top of the sky Chapter 34"Sirs, your bounties have been re-issued. Everything else remains the same, but for Sanji, who was selected for the first time, his bounty has been released."Sanji was excited and immediately rushed over, impatient.He didn't care about the amount of the bounty; what mattered most was the picture chosen."Let me see quickly, which handsome photo of mine was chosen.""This…"The Soldier was a bit embarrassed. At first, he thought it wasn't Sanji, but seeing the name and the pirate crew, he knew it was."Uh… don't get your hopes up too high…"This left Sanji puzzled. What did he mean?He took the bounty poster and looked, and Sanjiinstantly turned to stone.Black Leg Sanji, Chef of the Straw Hat Pirates, defeated Crocodile. Due to failure in acquiring a photo, the bounty poster's image is hand-drawn. bounty: 200,000,000 Berries.Sanji was petrified, his whole being dimmed."Sanji, what's wrong with you?"Usopp was very confused.Sanji trembled all over, furious."Who!! Who drew this!! This isn't me at all!"Sanji was enraged, thinking the artist's skill was too terrible. Could they have just started learning? How could it be drawn so badly?Sanji wanted to cry but had no tears. He had originally imagined his handsome face being known to all, but now what everyone knew was that the chef of the Straw Hat Pirates was a very ugly fellow.This made Sanji collapse. What he had looked forward to most was his handsome face spreading across the world for more women to see, but it turned out like this.Usopp leaned in for a look and completely understood."This is too outrageous.""You could say it's Sanji, but it's not. You could say it's not, but there are some similarities, just uglified."...Zoro leaned in for a look and also laughed, while curiously asking, "Why does it emphasize 'capture alive'?"Sanji calmed himself down. Perhaps he understood why it didn't look like him; the 'photo acquisition failed' part must be fake."Sigh." Sanji was very helpless. It would have been better if he had a normal background… Please give fresh flowers, evaluation tickets, monthly tickets, and rewards. Thank you very much!!!Chapter 049 No Need to LeaveAfter some time in Alabasta, Luffy and the others departed.After bidding farewell to Vivi, the going merrycontinued its voyage, but there was one more person on board: Robin.Nami and the others were surprised and puzzled."Luffy… do we really…?"Luffy turned and smiled, saying, "It's fine, she's not a bad person."Nami and the others were helpless. Well, Luffywas always so reckless, but he had never made a wrong decision.Unbeknownst to them, two months had passed for Chopper in the teaching space.During this time, he had become familiar with Robin.Chopper came out very happy, as his strength had improved tremendously.The environment of the teaching space had a multiplier effect. Although it was tough, it was very effective.And the teaching template, it was purely for teaching, so powerful.Chopper's own physical combat skills, as well as his mastery of Observation Haki and Armament Haki, and his devil fruit development, had all made great progress.Luffy asked, "Chopper, how was it?"Chopper excitedly said, "Luffy, the template you recommended to me was really good. Teacher Kaiis amazing at teaching devil fruit development."This made Luffy realize that Chopper's transformation and improvement were indeed significant.The crew members were also happy; this meant the Straw Hat Pirates' combat power had increased again.Now, Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami, and Chopperhad all entered the teaching space.Currently, only Robin on the ship had not entered.After Chopper met Robin, he learned that she was a new companion.Nami asked, "Robin, do you want to enter the teaching space for two months?"Robin shook her head, "Not now, there's something important I need to do first."Luffy also understood. Indeed, because they were about to reach Sky Island.After leaving Alabasta, they passed through Goat Island and Ruruka Island. Now, they were with Cricket, the descendant of Mont Blanc Nola, the Liar.He had already told Luffy and the others about the Knock Up Stream, but it was very dangerous; if the ship failed and fell, it would be shattered."You should hurry and catch this Southbird. The upward current we're heading for tomorrow is located directly south of this cape. Do you know how to get there? Once you're out in the open sea, you won't know east, west, north, or south."Usopp and the others listened to Cricket's words, still a bit confused. Why did they need to find a Southbird?Nami, as the Navigator, understood."I get it. This time, our target isn't an island, it's a current, so the Log Pose is useless. To head south, we need to use the Southbird's habits."Cricket nodded, "Yes, some organisms in nature have accurate internal compasses and can clearly know their location."Luffy laughed, "Hahaha, so Zoro is even worse than an animal."Zoro listened helplessly, "Are you even qualified to say that about me?"Nami said, "You two, stop bickering. You're both as bad as each other."Usopp and the others understood why they needed to find the Southbird shown on the map. To go to Sky Island, they needed to catch an upward current, and finding the current was essential, so they had to find the Southbird.Luffy and the others set off, heading into the island's forest to search.Cricket reminded them, "You must find at least one before dawn, otherwise, we don't know when the next upward current will be.""Got it, we'll definitely find one," Luffy said firmly.They absolutely had to find one; going to Sky Island was a must.Robin was the one who most wanted to go up, which was why she wasn't entering the teaching space to improve her strength.After so many years of hardship, Robin knew the importance of strength most clearly. If she were strong enough, she wouldn't have needed to join Baroque Works; it would have been great if she could have accomplished things by herself.But she knew it was impossible, so if she could get stronger, she naturally wouldn't miss the chance.But not now.Not long after Luffy and the others left, a pirate ship approached; it was the Bellamy Pirates.After entering the forest, Luffy also knew what would happen next, as he knew the plot.So, naturally, he had to go back.Luffy found an excuse to return, knowing that the battle might have already begun.Cricket looked at Bellamy and the others, asking in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"He could tell that they were up to no good.Bellamy gave a arrogant smile, "Heh, I like to snatch away treasures that others fought desperately for; it's quite a thrill. So, you understand why I'm here, right?"This made Cricket's face sink. Were they going to steal his golden Southbird?The Bellamy Pirates directly attacked, but they were quickly all knocked down by Cricket.Bellamy was not flustered at all; instead, he laughed arrogantly, full of confidence."Spring Snipe!"Bellamy squatted down, and his legs immediately coiled up like springs.With the elastic force, he suddenly shot out, his speed so fast that Cricket couldn't react.The spring not only provided speed but also strong force. Speed combined with strength made it even more powerful.He slammed a punch into Cricket's abdomen, sending him flying, spitting blood, and landing on the ground with serious injuries.Bellamy sneered, "Too weak."Bellamy signaled his subordinates to act. After entering the house, they saw the golden bird on the table, their eyes shining."A golden bird, just as expected.""Hahaha, it's ours.""It's been a long time since we've gotten such a treasure."...After taking it out, Bellamy saw it and was also happy, in a good mood."Alright, lads, let's get on the ship and head back to Mock Town.""You guys, don't need to go back."Suddenly, a cold voice rang out, making Bellamyfreeze.Following the sound, he discovered a figure floating above their large ship, wearing a Straw Hat."Gear Third, Giant Pistol!"Under the horrified gazes of Bellamy and the others, the figure's hand above the ship suddenly grew enormous, slamming down like a giant's fist.Boom!Crack!Amidst the roar, their ship directly shattered and sank into the sea.Bellamy was furious, his face extremely grim, and he recognized him: "Straw Hat, Luffy."...Please give fresh flowers, evaluation tickets, monthly tickets, and rewards. Thank you very much!!!Chapter 050 Heading to Sky IslandBellamy's face was grim, veins twitching with anger, his ship was gone just like that."Damn it… Straw Hat."Bellamy's face was dark, gritting his teeth.Luffy landed, looking at the golden bird in Bellamy's hand, and said in a deep voice, "Give the old man his stuff back."Bellamy laughed, sarcastically, "As a fellow pirate, how can you say such a thing?"Bellamy's legs once again coiled like springs, his fighting spirit rising."Let me see your strength, how you reached a billion."Bellamy was poised, looking at Luffy, with no intention of attacking immediately."What, aren't you going to use your abilities quickly? Like the Gear Third just now. I heard you also have Gear Second that can increase your speed. Hurry and enter that state."Bellamy didn't rush forward directly; instead, he wanted Luffy to enter his stronger forms.Luffy shook his head, "To deal with you, I, with a bounty of a billion, don't need to use my Devil Fruit abilities."This instantly made Bellamy's face darken, and he gritted his teeth in anger again. He was looking down on him too much!
I, Luffy, awaken the sun god on top of the sky Chapter 35"Then... be defeated by me, Straw Hat with a one billion bounty!""Spring Snipe!"Whoosh!!Bellamy rushed over quickly, vanishing in a flash, the wind whistling.The power of his spring was immense, and his speed made it even stronger; he felt he could knock Luffy down with a single punch.Seeing Luffy stand still, Bellamy laughed, "Can't dodge it, a billion bounty is nothing special."However, he didn't hit anything substantial; Bellamy crashed into a tree in the distance.He looked back and saw Luffy still in his original spot.No, that's not right.Bellamy's pupils constricted; he wasn't in his original spot, but had moved slightly, perhaps just a sidestep, to dodge it.Luffy said indifferently, "Too slow."This ignited a furious rage in Bellamy, who exclaimed, "Don't say such things anymore! My performance has just begun, let's get to the climax now! You'd better continue to underestimate me; you will pay a heavy price!""Spring... Hopper!"Immediately, Bellamy bounced out, but his target wasn't Luffy; instead, he bounced rapidly around the area.Using any nearby buildings, houses, rocks, and trees, he bounced continuously, his afterimages spreading in all directions around Luffy.As he bounced, his speed grew faster and faster.Even Cricket couldn't catch sight of Bellamy's figure anymore; it was as if he had vanished.Cricket trembled with worry, "Such incredible speed! He's getting faster and faster with each bounce, so much so that he's hard to see, as if he's disappeared. Luffy, can he handle this?"Bellamy kept bouncing, moving rapidly around Luffy while mocking him."Are you friends with Cricket and them? Even people like that have friends? Does that mean you also believe their words? Hahahaha... What ridiculous kindred spirits.Treating the ramblings of ancestors from four hundred years ago as treasure, truly the most idiotic of fools. To hell with your golden bell, to hell with your Sky Island; the era of daydreaming is long over."...Bellamy's crew members watched, chuckling, their gazes filled with pity for Luffy."He really is stupid, believing all that.""Bellamy's speed has reached its limit; he's about to attack.""He'll be knocked down next second; he has no idea which direction the attack will come from, and even if he did, he wouldn't react in time.""Yes, he's too fast, and his power will be at its strongest."...After Bellamy had bounced for some time, his speed and power reached their peak, and he suddenly shot towards Luffy from directly in front.In his opinion, Luffy couldn't see him at all, let alone react.As Bellamy got closer to Luffy, he said in a low voice, "Goodbye, Straw Hat!"However, in that instant, Luffy's fist rose and smashed down heavily.Boom!!"Ah!!"With a scream, Bellamy's rushing body suddenly slammed into the ground, creating a deep pit.Luffy's punch landed on Bellamy's head, directly embedding him into the ground; he rolled his eyes, coughed up blood, and had many broken teeth.In an instant, the surroundings fell silent.There were no more bouncing sounds, no more discussions; everyone stood dumbfounded.Luffy picked up the Golden Bird and handed it to Cricket.Cricket was astonished; he truly didn't use any abilities, defeating Bellamy with a single punch. He was too strong."Run!"The others had no intention of saving Bellamy and fled directly; the disparity in strength was too great.However, Luffy easily dealt with them.Soon, Nami and the others returned, having found the guide bird.Robin was excited; they could go to Sky Islandtomorrow.Luffy was also slightly anticipating it; up until now, the only strong enemy he had encountered was Hawkeye.With his current strength, the gap between him and people like Crocodile and Smoker was too vast.Even someone like Bellamy couldn't compare to him.Therefore, Luffy was somewhat looking forward to Sky Island, as it had Eneru, a Logia-type Devil Fruituser with an extremely powerful Devil Fruit, which was an exceptionally strong existence even among all Devil Fruits.In the original story, even without Gear Second, he defeated Eneru, but that was due to the protagonist's halo.So this time, he would truly fight Eneru and experience the true power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit.The next day, early morning.Luffy and the others boarded the ship, and the guide bird was released.Immediately, the going merry began to sail.Luffy thought to himself, "Sky Island, here I come."...Please give fresh flowers, evaluation tickets, monthly tickets, and rewards. Many thanks!!Chapter 051: Fire Fist! Gun!!Cricket waved from the shore, "Little brother, this is where we say goodbye."Luffy nodded heavily, "Yes, we'll meet again."Cricket said, "There's one thing you must understand. No one has ever proven the existence of the golden bell and Sky Island. Perhaps some people will laugh and say I made it up, but what's wrong with that? That's a man's romance."Luffy nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.As the going merry sailed away, Cricket's eyes showed gratitude."Thank you for helping me get back the Golden Bird. I hope you're safe; don't fall from the sky."...The going merry hadn't sailed long before dark clouds gathered over the sea ahead.However, only that specific patch of sky was covered in dark clouds.Nami said in a serious tone, "The Knock Up Stream appeared earlier than we expected, but we haven't determined the location of the upward current yet. I hope we can make it in time."Soon, the going merry approached the massive whirlpool, about to fall into it.Whoosh!The ship suddenly lost all weight and instantly plummeted.Usopp despaired, "It's over, we're going to fall."Pfft... However, just as it plummeted, it landed on the sea surface.This surprised everyone; it was very unexpected."The whirlpool, it disappeared?""The ship is on the sea surface.""Such a huge, bottomless whirlpool just now, suddenly disappeared? I thought we were going to fall in and die."...Gurgle... Gurgle... Nami heard the sounds and realized what was happening."Everyone get ready, it might be starting, the ascending current is coming!"This made Usopp and the others nervous; the impact would definitely be huge, especially since it could carry the ship all the way to Sky Island... At this moment, Cricket sat on the island, looking at the sea, smoking.Next to him, cigarette butts piled up like a mountain.Cricket mumbled to himself, "This is the first time in my life I've met idiots like you, fools chasing dreams."Although Cricket said this, he smiled, believing that Luffy and his crew would succeed.He also believed that his ancestor's words were true, not baseless.If he couldn't see it himself, then let Luffy and his crew verify it.Cricket believed that Luffy and his crew could do it, that it would come true... At this moment, in the sea area near the going merry.A simple sailboat made of many logs was sailing, with four people on board.The pirate flag had three skulls; clearly, it was the Blackbeard Pirates.The four people on board were Blackbeard, Burgess, Van Auger, and Doc Q."Well, did you see anything?" Blackbeard asked Burgess, who was observing with a telescope.Burgess shook his head, "No, I didn't even see a shadow of the other shore. Is there really a Sky Island? Are they really going there?"Blackbeard said in a deep voice, "We can't let them go to the sky, or it will be troublesome, and it will be difficult to complete our mission."Blackbeard's face was sinister, "Straw Hat Luffy, a wanted man with a one billion bounty."Burgess put down his telescope and looked into the distance, somewhat incredulous."The sky ahead has darkened, a swirling dark cloud, it looks very oppressive."Blackbeard's face showed excitement, "It's there, move quickly, deal with them before they leave!"...At this moment, the sea surface where the going merry was located was calm.But everyone's faces were solemn, knowing it was the calm before the storm; the ascending current was coming soon.Gurgle gurgle... The sounds grew louder and louder, coming from the seabed.Luffy and the others knew it was getting faster, about to erupt."You all stop! Don't you dare leave!"A deep voice came from a distance.Luffy followed the sound, his first attention drawn to the pirate flag, which immediately made his face sink; he knew who it was.On the ship, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Nami, Chopper, and Robin all looked over as well.They hadn't seen the pirate flag or the three people on the ship before.Burgess and Doc Q were rapidly paddling with wooden oars on both sides of the bow, while two people stood at the bow: Blackbeard and Van Auger, who was carrying a gun.Blackbeard's eyes lit up; he had found them, and let out his unique laugh."Zehahahahaha... I finally found you, Straw HatLuffy!"Sanji asked in confusion, "Who is this?"Luffy said, "He's the guy Ace is trying to catch."Instantly, Sanji and the others all knew: Blackbeard
I, Luffy, awaken the Sun God at Marineford Chapter 36Yes, Sanji and the others were also very hostile and disgusted with Blackbeard, having learned from Ace that he was a traitor who killed the Fourth Division Commander.Blackbeard's voice was low: "Straw Hat, I've come for your billion-berry head. Prepare yourself! Zehahahahaha..."After the boat approached, they stopped rowing. Blackbeard, Van Auger, and Burgess all prepared to attack.At the same time, below the going merry, the seawater surged, rising like a giant fountain.Nami said with a serious expression, "The Knock Up Stream is about to start. They're going to attack us. What should we do? We can't let them interfere at this critical moment."Sanji and the others were heavy-hearted. Indeed, this was a critical moment; it was about to begin.If the opponents were minor characters, it would be fine, but Ace personally pursued them, so their strength was clearly not ordinary, perhaps even stronger than Crocodile.It might be impossible to resolve this in a short time. The four members of the Blackbeard Piratesshould all be very powerful.The Straw Hat Pirates weren't afraid to fight them one-on-one somewhere else, but now they were worried about any unexpected incidents.Bang! Bang!! Bang!!!...Suddenly, loud and deep footsteps echoed.Nami, Zoro, and the others all looked over. It was Luffy.Luffy walked silently towards the bow, his expression grim.His head was lowered, and his Straw Hat obscured his face, preventing Zoro and the others from seeing his expression at that moment, but they could feel that Luffy was in a very bad mood.They had never seen Luffy look so grim, even angry, as he did now.Luffy spoke: "It's fine, I'll deal with them quickly."Whoosh!Instantly, Luffy leaped up, soaring into the sky.Luffy in the sky, with black clouds above his headand the Blackbeard Pirate ship below.The four members of Blackbeard looked up, initially unconcerned and ready to fight, but in the next moment, the smiles on their faces froze.Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, and Robinwere all aghast and shocked.Luffy's expression was grim and angry, and his right hand suddenly stretched out towards the sky."Gum-Gum..."Poof!!!Suddenly, the extended arm and fist pointing to the sky turned pitch black, covered in Armament Haki, and then, flames suddenly erupted!In an instant, the gloomy sky was illuminated by firelight!The world was no longer dark, but a fiery red!In the next moment, on the Blackbeard Pirate ship, Blackbeard, Van Auger, Burgess, and Doc Q all changed their expressions drastically! Their eyes widened, pupils constricted, filled with terror and unease!Luffy let out a low roar:"Fire Fist!!! Pistol!!!"...Please give flowers, evaluation tickets, monthly tickets, and rewards. Thank you very much!!!Chapter 052 Instant Annihilation of the Blackbeard PiratesLuffy's punch slammed down, and Blackbeard and the others' expressions changed drastically.It was as if not a fist, but a fiery sun, was descending.Boom!!The Blackbeard Pirate ship had no time to dodge, and Blackbeard and the others had no time to counterattack; they could only defend.Amidst the roar, the Blackbeard Pirate ship directly shattered, accompanied by the screams of Blackbeard and the other three.Rumble... an explosion sounded, and firelight filled the air.Luffy landed, standing at the bow of the going merry, as the Knock Up Stream rose, lifting the going merry higher.Luffy looked down at the ship's wreckage floating on the sea, and at Blackbeard and the other three, whose bodies were charred, eyes rolled back, mouths bleeding, and faces filled with pain.Luffy's aura at this moment was like that of a king."I don't have time to waste on you. This will have to do for now."Chopper and Usopp's eyes sparkled with excitement, and they couldn't help but cheer."So cool.""You're so cool, Luffy."...Zoro, Sanji, and the others were also shaken; this punch was too powerful.Moreover, the visual impact was too great.After their surprise, they were puzzled.Nami wondered, "Luffy, why did your punch have flames just now?"This was what surprised and confused all of them. It was clearly the Rubber-Rubber Fruit, so why did the attack just now have flames?Luffy didn't mention that he was actually a Mythical Zoan, the sun god.Luffy explained, "It's probably friction causing fire."This made Nami and the others understand, and it was the only explanation. Friction with the air caused fire; otherwise, how could Rubberspontaneously produce flames?Usopp praised, "But it was really cool."Chopper exclaimed, "So powerful! One punch sent them to the bottom of the sea, their lives unknown."...The Knock Up Stream surged, and the going merry shot into the sky.Luffy looked down at the sea below and said, "They shouldn't die; that would be too weak. We were in a hurry this time. Next time we face them, it will be a true battle between pirate crews."Zoro, Sanji, and the others also knew that they wouldn't be wiped out so easily; that would be too lame, and they wouldn't even be worthy of being their enemies... In the silent place where the Blackbeard Pirate ship was, steam rose from the sea.Under the sea, Burgess spat out blood, his whole body scorching hot, but he still regained consciousness.Burgess's expression changed, and he held his breath, quickly searching for Blackbeard.Soon, he found him, seeing Blackbeard sinking, eyes rolled back, and powerless.Burgess quickly swam over, and after getting close, he supported Blackbeard and swam towards the surface.Van Auger was in pain all over, but he persevered and dragged Doc Q to the surface.With a splash, Burgess emerged from the water, placing Blackbeard face down on a floating charred piece of wood.Van Auger and Doc Q also found a piece of wood to lie on, floating.Van Auger looked at the towering column of seawater, connecting heaven and earth, and could no longer see any trace of the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.Van Auger was still shaken and felt lucky."So strong..."He hadn't expected Straw Hat to be so strong. Although he had a bounty of a billion, he felt that his strength definitely wasn't a billion.Now that he had witnessed it, he felt lucky. Fortunately, the Straw Hat Pirates had something to do and left on the Knock Up Stream; otherwise, in a real fight, they might have been completely wiped out."Captain, Captain, are you alright?"Burgess shook Blackbeard, knowing that Blackbeard's injuries were the most severe, as a Dark-Dark Fruit user, the pain he endured was double that of ordinary people.Moreover, Burgess realized that Straw Hat's punch just now was precisely aimed at Blackbeard.Therefore, Blackbeard's injuries were the most severe, and being a Devil Fruit user, he had sunk into the sea and was now unconscious.With the shaking, Blackbeard gradually regained consciousness.The moment he woke up, Blackbeard cried out in pain."Hiss... It hurts so much..."Waking up and remembering what had just happened, Blackbeard grimaced: "Damn it... Straw Hat..."Blackbeard's entire body was charred, and he was in great pain, sweating cold, his eyes filled with anger and coldness.Burgess felt lucky: "Phew... Fortunately, they went up, otherwise it would have been dangerous.""Hmph." Blackbeard snorted, "Not necessarily."Although he said that, Blackbeard was shaken.Burgess felt that it might not be certain; the ship was very good at hiding.Blackbeard was surprised; he hadn't expected Straw Hat to be so strong.That move just now had shaken them. Apart from its power, what truly shook them was Straw Hat's aura, and most importantly, the flames.It was clearly the Rubber-Rubber Fruit, so why did he unleash a Fire Fist? One would have thought it was Fire Fist Ace.However, this Fire Fist Pistol was faster and stronger.Blackbeard's expression was grim: "What kind of monster is this Straw Hat? Why can the Rubber-Rubber Fruit unleash flames? That punch hurt me so much, and my ship was destroyed."Blackbeard felt a bit embarrassed; he had intended to take down the Straw Hat Pirates, but he was instantly defeated.Burgess was also puzzled: "Yes, it's too strange. It's the Rubber-Rubber Fruit, not the Mera Mera no Mithat Fire Fist Ace possesses."Van Auger guessed: "Perhaps it's friction with the atmosphere causing fire. That's the only way to explain it."Blackbeard also thought it must be that way; it could only be that way.Blackbeard looked up, frowning: "I underestimated you, Straw Hat. Your strength is stronger than I imagined. It's hard to say if I can take you down now. But sooner or later, I will deal with you. I am also a man who will become the Pirate King."By the end, Blackbeard's face was full of ambition, even impatience; he had planned it long ago, just waiting for the right moment.Clearly, he coveted the Tremor-Tremor Fruit; then, with two Devil Fruits, he would surely be able to wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates with ease.Blackbeard ordered: "Leave here and return to Mock Town for recuperation. Doc Q, are you alright? I need you to treat me."Although Doc Q looked terminally ill, he was fine."I'm fine; I can treat you immediately after we get back.""Good, we need to find a new target." Blackbeard's eyes grew cold.Now, he dared not provoke Straw Hat; his strength was very great.Van Auger was curious: "I wonder if that punch just now was one of his strongest moves."Blackbeard was also curious about Straw Hat's true strength, but he would find out eventually.Moreover, Blackbeard was confident that no matter how strong he was, he would definitely not be his opponent in the future; he himself would be the ultimate victor... Please give flowers, evaluation tickets, monthly tickets, and rewards. Thank you very much!!!Chapter 053 Embarrassing SituationAt this moment, the going merry was continuously rising on the Knock Up Stream.Nami's expression was grim: "The ship might detach from the current and be thrown out."Hearing this, Zoro and the others' expressions changed in shock.
