Chapter 92: The Munch-Munch Fruit Attacker, the Wapol Pirates
On the vast sea, the Going Merry was cutting through the waves, galloping steadily toward an unknown sea area.
However, unlike the usual atmosphere filled with laughter, a heavy low pressure hung over the Merry at this moment.
Everyone on deck had their brows furrowed, and their moods could not be any worse.
Even Luffy, who usually loved to play and couldn't stay still for a second, was now sitting obediently in the special seat at the bow.
He held his knees with both hands, staring unblinkingly at the empty sea in the distance, hoping to see the shadow of an island.
Inside the cabin, Nami's room.
Tatsuya was sitting by the bed, his hands glowing with a soft green Chakra, the glow of the Medical Ninjutsu [Mystical Palm Technique].
Fine beads of sweat broke out on his forehead as he focused intently on slowly injecting Chakra into Nami's body, suppressing the raging virus.
"Her body temperature has temporarily stabilized at 39 degrees... but if I don't continuously input Chakra, it will rebound quickly."
Tatsuya withdrew his slightly trembling hands and let out a long sigh of relief.
Vivi was beside him, holding a wet towel and gently wiping the cold sweat from Nami's forehead. Seeing Nami's pained and flushed face, Vivi's eyes reddened with heartache.
"Thank you for your hard work, Mr. Tatsuya," Vivi said softly.
"It's nothing, I'll go change the basin for hot water." Tatsuya picked up the basin, stood up, and walked out. "I'll leave things here to you."
Just as Tatsuya stepped out of the room and was about to go to the kitchen to get hot water...
"Crash—!!"
The originally calm sea suddenly churned violently.
A massive object burst out of the water from one side of the Merry without warning.
It was a giant submarine with an extremely strange shape, looking like a huge iron barrel or a tin can.
"What is that?!" Luffy stood up alertly.
Before everyone could react, the submarine's hatch opened, and a large group of soldiers wearing white fur coats and carrying muskets rushed onto the Merry's deck.
Leading them was a fat man with a tin jaw who looked like a hippopotamus.
It was the former king of the Drum Kingdom, the Munch-Munch Fruit user—Wapol.
"Ma-ha-ha-ha! This great one is hungry!!"
As soon as Wapol got on the ship, he opened his exaggeratedly large mouth and bit down hard on the railing of the Merry.
"Crack! Crunch, crunch!"
The hard wood was chewed to pieces in his mouth like a crisp biscuit.
"Hmm~ the taste is just so-so, a bit old."
Wapol swallowed the railing, pointed arrogantly at Luffy and Zoro on the deck, and roared loudly:
"Boys! Hand over all the treasures on this ship and that Log Pose! This ship looks pretty tasty, so it belongs to this great one too!!"
"You bastard! That's the going merry!!" Usopp shouted in anger.
At this time, everyone on the ship was anxious because of Nami's illness, and everyone's nerves were strained to the limit.
This guy who suddenly popped out had practically walked right into the line of fire.
"Creak."
The cabin door was pushed open.
Tatsuya walked out, holding the freshly filled hot water in his hands.
He glanced at the bitten-off railing, then at the fat man who was still chewing wood chips and making a racket.
In an instant.
Tatsuya's black eyes turned bone-chillingly cold, and a suffocating killing intent erupted without reservation.
"Where did this trash come from..."
Tatsuya's voice was low and filled with fury:
"Daring to make a noise in front of a sickroom?"
"Huh? And who are you? This great one is..."
Wapol turned his head, just about to mock this guy holding the basin.
However, his vision blurred for a moment.
"Body Flicker Technique."
Tatsuya's figure vanished from the spot into thin air.
In the next second, a sharp wind pressure hit his face. Tatsuya, carrying full-blown anger, appeared in front of Wapol.
His body leaped into the air, and his right leg whipped out like a lash—a powerful roundhouse kick leaving afterimages!
"Get the hell off!!!"
"Bang!!!"
A dull thud sounded.
That kick landed solidly on Wapol's boastful big mouth.
"Aaaah!!!"
Wapol let out a shrill scream, and several bloody teeth flew out along with saliva.
His fat body was like a cannonball fired from a barrel, directly kicked off the deck by this terrifying monstrous strength, drawing a parabola in the air.
"Splash!"
A huge splash rose as Wapol fell directly into the cold sea.
"Lord Wapol!!" his subordinates cried out in horror.
"Don't get in the way!!"
Following closely was Luffy, who had long been impatient.
He didn't even bother to fight those grunts; his hands suddenly stretched backward, aiming at the giant iron submarine.
"We're in a hurry!!!"
"Gomu Gomu no Bazooka!!!"
BOOM————!!!
Both palms slammed hard against the iron hull of the submarine.
The massive impact sent the entire submarine, along with all members of the Wapol Pirates, flying like a baseball being hit.
"What kind of monsters are these people?!!"
"This feels so bad!!!"
The Wapol Pirates didn't even have time to finish announcing their names before they turned into a shining shooting star and disappeared into the distant horizon.
"Hmph, pathetic."
Tatsuya held the hot water in his hand, and not even a single drop had spilled.
He glanced coldly in that direction and turned back into the cabin.
Just after everyone finished dealing with that group of suicidal trash like swatting flies.
A cold wind blew by.
"So cold..." Usopp shivered.
Everyone looked up.
In the gray sky, pure white snowflakes fell like goose feathers.
The temperature on the sea dropped sharply.
"It's snowing..."
Vivi ran to the bow. Through the dancing snow, she vaguely saw the outline of a snow-covered island appearing on the sea ahead.
The towering snow mountains looked like white pillars.
"It's a Winter Island!!"
Vivi turned back in surprise and shouted to everyone in the cabin:
"Only a Winter Island would have this kind of climate! A medical power like that must have a doctor!!"
"Hee hee hee! Great! Nami is saved!!"
Luffy jumped onto the bow excitedly, pointing at the snow island:
"Full speed ahead!!"
