The News Spreads
There was still a sad atmosphere on the ship, and Luffy, who had always been optimistic, was sitting on the deck in despair.
Zoro told him Gamenio's third-game rule.
"Damn it!!!" Luffy looked unwilling; he clenched his fists and muttered in a low voice: "Too weak, I can't protect anything now!"
"Become stronger! Only by becoming stronger can you protect your partners and protect everyone!"
I have to say that despair can indeed make people grow quickly, but the price is too high!
"We should bury Sanji first, and then we need to quickly increase our strength in half a month and defeat the Beasts Pirates' pursuit team in order to save everyone's hometown!"
Zoro said calmly.
"Well! I must protect everyone this time…" Luffy nodded firmly and said with hatred and unwillingness in his eyes.
"Zoro, there seems to be an island in front of us." Luffy suddenly looked at the island before him.
"I'll take the helm."
"Forget it, Zoro, I'll do it..."
After a while, the Going Merry landed on the port.
Zoro looked at the island before him and said slowly: "Luffy, we better find a shipwright to repair the Going Merry."
The Going Merry was already on the verge of collapse, and even they, who knew nothing about ships, knew they could no longer sail like this.
"Yeah!" Luffy seemed to have matured a lot and nodded in agreement.
Zoro stayed to watch the ship while Luffy went to the island to find a shipwright.
This time, there was no fun or play. Just after asking around, he headed to the No. 1 dock.
"We need wood here, hurry up!"
"Barry, come and help!"
"Tilstone, don't order me!"
Luffy walked into the grand door of Dockyard No. 1 and saw a bustling scene inside, with dozens of skilled shipwrights busy at work.
"What can I do for you?" A man's voice interrupted Luffy's curiosity.
"Ah, I'm here to find someone to repair the boat." Luffy reacted and quickly said to the man next to him.
"Where is your ship? Let me take a look first."
The man looked thinner than the other shipwright; he wore a hat and had a scar on the back of his hand.
"I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Peris, a shipwright at the No. 1 dock. Please give me advice!"
"My name is Luffy; I will become..."
Luffy immediately introduced himself, but this time, he hesitated when saying his catchphrase.
He thought of his powerlessness on Sky Island and the companions he lost…
Peris noticed Luffy's depressed mood and asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"My name is Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King!"
Luffy suddenly said loudly with firm eyes.
If you deny yourself in this way and dare not speak out your dreams, then it will be a huge disappointment to Arina and the others!
I will definitely succeed; just watch!
Luffy clenched his fists with tears in his eyes.
He raised his head and looked firmly at the sky as if he were looking at Sanji and others in the distance.
There was a gloomy look in Peris's eyes, but he quickly put it away and asked with concern: "Brother, are you okay?"
"It's okay. My ship is parked at the port; I'll take you there."
"No, I'll just go by myself. Just wait for me here. I'll go back quickly. What are the characteristics of your boat?"
"Ah... Going Merry, it's..."
After Peris wrote down the characteristics Luffy mentioned, then he put down the hat on his head, jumped up, and instantly appeared on the roof and looked in the direction of the port.
"Let me see where it is..."
After confirming the position, Peris smiled, jumped into the air, and quickly ran towards the port.
"Awesome!!" Luffy said in admiration.
The explosive power of such a jump reminded him of Sanji, and his eyes darkened again.
On the other side, New World.
"Sasaki, I'll leave it to you."
"Don't worry, I will make that brat who doesn't know the heights of heaven pay a heavy price."
After hanging up the Den Den Mushi, Sasaki, the captain of the Fourth Fleet, was tall, slightly fat, with long green hair, wearing a military hat with two horns on his head, and wearing wooden clogs.
His body expands rapidly!!
Two thick and large horns appeared on his head, which were larger than his skull.
A ferocious and terrifying dragon head, with skin as brown as the earth and two thick thighs, stepped on the ground.
It's a huge horned dragon with a body over thirty meters tall and a length exceeding fifty meters.
"Roar!!"
The huge horned dragon roared, and then its huge body rose into the air before flying into the distance.
Why did Sasaki have to hunt down the Straw Hat Pirates?
The most important thing is that he has the ability to fly!!
On the Going Merry in the port, Zoro had an ugly expression. He looked down at the cracked deck and said in a low tone: "Going Merry, you have done well!"
Then, he raised his head and looked at the calm sea: "In the past, we underestimated this sea!"
"What!!"
"The Merry can no longer sail! What does this mean!"
Luffy's eyes widened, and he stared at Peris in disbelief.
"Unfortunately, the keel of that ship has been broken. No matter how much we repaired it, this ship can no longer sail!"
Peris said calmly.
At this time, the other shipwrights also gathered over.
"How... Could…!" Luffy lowered his head sadly and shed tears.
Another partner is leaving!
As days passed, the experiences of the Straw Hat Pirates on Sky Island were gradually revealed on the sea!
"Hahaha, are all the Straw Hat Pirates idiots? They would actually declare war on the Beasts Pirates!"
"This is the funniest pirate group I've seen this year. No matter how arrogant you are, you have to have a limit."
"There is nothing else we can do about this because there are too many self-righteous people on the sea!"
"Three of them were directly killed by Gamenio, the captain of the Tenth Golden Fleet, and another one surrendered and joined, and the last three participated in the escape game, hahaha..."
"No! One of the three participants in the game lost too much blood and died in the sea because of the Knife Gambling Game!"
"There are still smart people in the Straw Hat Pirates. If she chooses to fight against the Beasts Pirates, she will be seeking death!"
"I'm afraid their hometown will also be implicated. The purpose of the last game is obvious."
"Do you think Straw Hat Boy will commit suicide for his hometown? Hahaha..."
The whole sea is laughing at the Straw Hat Pirates for overestimating their abilities!
A small pirate group of only seven people, with a total bounty of no more than 500 million belly, dared to openly burn the flag of the beasts!
There must be a limit to stupidity!
Even the other three emperors would probably not dare to do such a thing!
After the Marines got this news, they felt that the Straw Hat Pirates were looking for death!
Even Marines won't take the initiative to provoke those crazy people!
Only Sengoku looked at Luffy's bounty with a confused expression: "Garp, what do you want me to do?"
"Your grandson is really more mischievous than you!"
"Well!"
In the end, Sengoku sighed helplessly and put Luffy's bounty on the side.
Luffy is a pirate; he is a Fleet Admiral; even if he knows he is the grandson of an old friend, he can only say sorry!
He could only try to hide this matter from Garp. Otherwise, with Garp's temperament, he wouldn't know how much trouble he would get into!
The Island of Baltigo, the headquarters of the revolutionary army.
Dragon sat in his office while looking at Luffy's bounty in his hand, with a solemn, helpless, and guilty expression…
"Luffy, you lack awe of the sea!"
"I really shouldn't have put you in the comfortable East Blue!"
Dragon put down the bounty, walked to the balcony, and looked at the blue sea; his eyes became sharp as if he had made a certain decision!
