Chapter 261: Reunion at Sabaody! The Cat-Eared Thunder Emperor's Instant Kill
On a sunny day two years later, at the Sabaody Archipelago.
A breeze blew by, and countless giant soap bubbles shimmered with iridescent light under the refraction of the sun, slowly rising into the sky before bursting.
This dreamlike island, located at the end of the first half of the Grand Line, was as bustling and noisy as ever.
Countless rookie pirates, harboring great ambitions and attempting to venture into the New World, gathered here from all corners of the four seas, bringing new storms and chaos.
In the Grove 46 area, inside a lively tavern.
A group of abstract-looking, vulgar-behaving guys were making a loud ruckus, causing the surrounding patrons to glance over, though they dared not speak out against them.
Looking closely, the attire of this group was simply ridiculous.
At the lead was a "fake Luffy" with a big belly and a face full of flab.
Beside him followed a scrawny, bullying "fake Sniper King" who was riding on the coattails of others.
There was also a "fake Nami" with a bloated figure, a face full of pockmarks, and cheap lipstick.
However, the most laughable one was the guy in the group who claimed to be the Vice Captain.
He was a short, stout man as fat as a ball, wearing an ill-fitting black trench coat that dragged on the ground, covered in dirt.
Even more speechless was that this fat man had actually drawn a clumsy "Sharingan" pattern on his right eyelid using cheap red ink.
This "fake Tatsuya" was standing arrogantly in front of the bar, shouting at the counter with an overbearing attitude:
"Oi, oi, oi! How do you run this shop? Are you blind or what!"
"I am the Crimson Lotus Demon God with a bounty of 2.5 billion!"
"I am the man who slaughtered the Marines during the Marineford War! How dare you try to charge me for money in this dump of a tavern?!"
The waiter at the counter was sweating profusely, terrified by this group of fierce-looking imposters, and hurriedly bowed, apologizing repeatedly while trembling:
"I am very sorry!"
"Lord Crimson Lotus, I am truly sorry, we were blind and failed to recognize your greatness..."
Just as this group of imposters was acting recklessly.
In front of the tavern counter sat a stunningly beautiful girl with long, wavy orange hair.
She had an astonishingly perfect, hot figure, wearing only a sexy bikini top on her upper body, her fair skin appearing exceptionally dazzling under the dim tavern lights.
The young girl was resting her chin on one hand, leisurely sipping the colorful wine in her glass.
As for the crazy clamor and noise from the imposters behind her, she turned a completely deaf ear to it, as if they were just a few noisy flies.
That ugly "fake Nami" noticed this radiant, real beauty in front of the bar.
Seeing that all the other men in the tavern had their eyes on the orange-haired girl, a surge of intense jealousy welled up in her heart.
Moreover, seeing that the other party dared to completely ignore their group of "big shots," the fake Nami stepped forward with heavy, dissatisfied footsteps.
She lifted her chin, her face full of flab, and arrogantly slammed the bar counter, threatening loudly:
"Hey! Are you deaf, woman?"
"Do you know who we are? We are the Straw Hat Pirates!"
"If you anger our Vice Captain, he can burn you to ashes in a minute with his legendary black flames!"
Facing this ridiculous threat, Nami put down her wine glass and sighed softly.
She didn't even turn her head, just extended her slender, delicate fingers and gently stroked the strange dark purple "cotton candy" hanging at her waist.
"The air here is so foul, right, Futo?"
Nami's voice was crisp and melodious, carrying a hint of laziness and mockery.
"And... Tatsuya is not this ugly."
Hearing this merciless mockery and disdain, the "fake Tatsuya," who was as fat as a ball, immediately felt humiliated.
"You woman! What are you saying!"
"Go to hell!"
He flushed red with anger, his fat face turning crimson, and pulled out the broken wooden sword in his hand.
To appear unfathomable, he comically shouted the name of a technique he had heard from somewhere:
"Amaterasu!"
With this roar, the fake Tatsuya swung the wooden sword wildly and slashed fiercely at Nami's undefended back.
However, there was no need for Nami to do anything, nor did she need to make a move herself.
The thundercloud "Futo," which had been hanging quietly at her waist, seemed to sense the hostility directed at its master.
It suddenly opened a pair of large, brilliant eyes like rubies, and the pair of cute cloud cat ears on its head immediately stood up.
And deep within its dark purple cotton candy core, a scarlet pinwheel pattern was spinning at high speed.
"Zzzzt—"
Futo just opened its cute, soft mouth and nonchalantly spat out a purple electric spark toward the back.
However, the moment this seemingly weak spark of electricity made contact with the imposter, a earth-shattering transformation occurred.
"BOOM!!!"
That spark suddenly erupted with a terrifying high voltage of ten thousand volts!
The violent power of thunder poured out wantonly in the narrow space.
Accompanied by a deafening, violent roar of thunder, half of the tavern's roof was instantly blown off, and thick beams and shattered tiles scattered everywhere.
The dazzling lightning flash caused everyone to lose their vision momentarily.
When the dust settled.
The "fake Tatsuya," who had been arrogant and domineering just a second ago, and the "fake Nami" standing beside him, didn't even have time to let out a shrill scream.
They had been directly electrocuted by this terrifying lightning strike into two stiff, charred corpses that were smoking all over, falling straight to the ground.
The whole place instantly fell into a deathly silence.
The remaining fake Straw Hat Pirates members were completely stunned.
They looked at their charred companions on the ground with terrified faces, then looked at the orange-haired girl who hadn't even turned her head, scared out of their wits.
They scrambled forward, grabbed their unconscious companions, and hurriedly ran out, disappearing at the end of the street.
The tavern turned into ruins, and sunlight spilled back in.
Outside the ruins, a strong man carrying a huge backpack, with bulging muscles and a hood, happened to pass by.
He stopped, staring dumbfounded at the stunningly beautiful girl walking calmly out of the dilapidated tavern.
The man took off his hood, revealing that iconic long nose, and his tone was filled with unbelievable surprise:
"Nami?"
...
Meanwhile, on the coast of the Sabaody Archipelago.
Accompanied by a hair-raising sound of wood breaking and collapsing, a giant pirate ship, flying the flag of some rookie pirate crew, was being split in two by a slash as smooth as a mirror.
Seawater rushed in frantically, and the giant ship was slowly sinking toward the cold seabed along the cut.
On the reef by the shore, a deep green coat fluttered in the sea breeze.
After two years of hellish tempering, Zoro, with a sharp scar over his left eye, was standing there steadily.
His eyes were cold and stern as he slowly sheathed the famous sword in his hand, which was emitting a chilling aura, back into the scabbard at his waist.
"Click."
With the crisp sound of the sword guard colliding with the scabbard, Zoro frowned and complained with a displeased face:
"What is this... turns out I got on the wrong ship, what a bunch of easily startled guys."
He turned around, looking at the intricate mangrove forest in front of him, and scratched his short green hair with a headache:
"By the way, where exactly is Grove 42? I hope I didn't go in the wrong direction."
The swordsman after two years, even just standing there casually, exuded a substantial Shura aura that was already shocking enough to make the surrounding seagulls scream and fly away.
...
On the other side of the Sabaody Archipelago, at a desolate and neglected port.
A small, unmarked boat quietly docked.
A tall figure, shrouded in a large black cloak, stepped steadily onto the solid land of the island.
The moment the man's leather boots stepped on the grass, the surrounding air seemed to become incredibly heavy due to some invisible pressure, and even the breeze stopped flowing.
The man slowly raised his head, revealing his sharp, handsome face.
Under the dim light, his eyes were finally revealed to the world.
His left eye was still burning with that soul-shivering crimson light, and the Mangekyo pattern of the Eternal Mangekyo was slowly rotating within it.
And his right eye had undergone a earth-shattering transformation.
It was an eye that appeared pale purple, with ancient, mysterious ripples filling the area around the pupil!
Rinnegan!
After more than two years of seclusion and the perfect convergence of Yin and Yang powers, this ultimate God's eye, capable of controlling life and death, had finally descended upon this sea!
Tatsuya faced the gentle sea breeze of the Sabaody Archipelago and took a deep breath of the long-lost air.
In his pair of red and purple heterochromatic eyes, the giant mangroves towering into the clouds in the distance were reflected.
He lifted his chin slightly, and a familiar, calm smile curled at the corners of his mouth.
"It seems that I've arrived just in time."
