Chapter 28 EnlightenmentChapter 28: SatoriHawkeye saw determination and an unyielding spirit in Luke's eyes."Have you thought it through? The first time, I will show mercy. The second time, I will no longer bestow charity upon the weak."Hawkeye drew his Black Blade Yoru, wanting to see fear and hesitation in Luke's eyes.Luke remained calm, even taking a step forward."If you show mercy, then you look down on me," Luke said calmly.Hawkeye's lips curled slightly: "I wonder if it's courage or ignorance. If you survive, you will surely have a place among the world's top powerhouses. Otherwise, you will sleep forever in this ocean.""Finally, tell me, what is your goal?" Hawkeye asked."To have the power to fight all powerhouses!" Lukereplied.Hawkeye snorted: "That is a path even more arduous than surpassing me. I wonder if it's an exaggeration or if you truly possess such strength."After Hawkeye finished speaking, he imbued his Haki into his black blade. He had said he wouldn't show mercy, so this strike was serious."Dodge! What are you guys thinking?" Sanji yelled from over there, questioning them loudly.What were they thinking? They just wanted to experience the strength of a world-class powerhouse up close, nothing else.The more ruthless Hawkeye's strike, the better.The description of the Coin of Fate was to block three fatal attacks. If Hawkeye's strike wasn't fatal, it would be troublesome.The Black Blade Yoru, carrying its sword qi, slashed down towards Luke's chest.As the sword qi reached Luke, he activated All-Things Appraisal.Immediately after, Luke was enveloped by the sword qi and lost consciousness.When he opened his eyes, he found himself in a place similar to heaven.A prompt sounded in his ear: "Coin of Fate effect triggered, one fatal attack nullified, two more fatal attacks can be nullified."After this message disappeared, Luke returned to the deck, standing upright there.Hawkeye's face showed an astonished expression. That slash clearly landed, but this kid was unharmed.It couldn't be a Logia-type Devil Fruit either, because Hawkeye's slash was imbued with Armament Haki; even a Logia-type could be cut down by that strike.Hawkeye was baffled.At this moment, Luke closed his eyes, savoring the suffocating attack he had just experienced."Ding! The sword qi slash imbued with Armament Haki from Hawkeye has been successfully appraised. A top-tier Armament Haki Foundation Building Pill has been identified! The user can cultivate Armament Haki, and the cultivation speed of Armament Haki will be greatly increased!"Luke, who was still savoring the moment, jolted upon hearing the successful appraisal.He had just casually appraised it, never expecting it to be successful. What was there to savor and experience? He immediately took the pill, and Armament Haki cultivation began.This meant that All-Things Appraisal could appraise not only physical objects but also non-physical ones, such as a powerhouse's Haki-infused attack.From it, corresponding Haki pills could be appraised."Kid, state your name!" Hawkeye said."Luke!"Luke took a deep breath, thanking Teacher Hawkeyefor bringing him the top-tier Armament HakiFoundation Building Pill."Luke, I remember you. If there's an opportunity in the future, let me witness your wondrous technique again."Hawkeye put away his black blade, and with a flash, returned to his small boat.Hawkeye suddenly said, "I am Dracule Mihawk. See yourself clearly, understand the world, and grow stronger. No matter how many years pass, I will be waiting for you all in this strongest position."At this moment, Zoro lay there, holding his katana aloft."Luffy, can you hear me?""Mhm!" Luffy replied."I made you worry, didn't I? If I don't become the world's strongest swordsman, you'd be very troubled, wouldn't you? I... I will never lose again. Before I defeat him and become a Great Swordsman, I will absolutely never lose again! Do you have any objections? Pirate King!" Zoro shouted loudly.Luffy grinned, showing his white teeth, and laughed happily: "None!""A good crew. I hope to see you all again."After Hawkeye finished speaking, he departed in his small boat.Teacher Hawkeye left, and Luke looked at the Armament Haki Foundation Building Pill in his hand, his emotions difficult to calm for a long time.He had only intended to savor and comprehend Hawkeye's Haki-infused strike, but he unexpectedly appraised it directly. What was there to savor then?"Thank you, Teacher Hawkeye!"Luke cupped his fists towards Hawkeye's gradually receding small boat. He was serious, not joking.At this moment, Luffy came to Luke's side."This pill looks tasty."Luffy opened his mouth, wanting to eat it. Fortunately, Luke reacted quickly, dodged Luffy, and then swallowed the pill."What's with you, you stingy guy. I'm going to check on Zoro's injuries."Zoro's injuries, thanks to Luke's Healing Pill, quickly stopped bleeding and were not serious.Luke's mood was like a roller coaster. If Luffy had eaten that pill, he would have choked him to make him spit it out.As the pill went down, a warm current began to spread from his stomach throughout his entire body.Luke felt every cell in his body being nourished, radiating from the inside out, feeling incredibly comfortable.Immediately after, Luke noticed a faint energy film appearing on his fist.The film was slightly black, which was already the prototype of Armament Haki.Now, he only needed to cultivate diligently to develop true Armament Haki, doubling his combat power directly.It's important to know that in the world of pirates, there's a BUG-like Devil Fruit, which is the Logia-type Devil Fruit.For example, the Smoke-Smoke Fruit, the Mera Mera no Mi, the Ice-Ice Fruit, and the Glint-Glint Fruit.The moment you touch those who have eaten Logia-type Devil Fruits, they elementalize, making them impossible to hit.With Armament Haki, one can touch them and inflict substantial damage upon them.A thousand words converged into one sentence: Thank you, Teacher Hawkeye, for this strike, and thank you, Coin of Fate.Finally, the pirates were dealt with, and the battle ended.The biggest gain from this battle was Luke's.Luke stretched, returned to the restaurant's deck, and went to Sanji's side."The pirates have all been driven away," Luke said casually, then secretly glanced at Sanji to see his reaction."Yeah," Sanji's reaction was minimal."Speaking of which, you...""I'm not going. I don't want to be a pirate. I want to continue being a chef here until the old geezer acknowledges my cooking skills."Sanji pulled out a cigarette and lit it silently."Alright, I understand."A forced melon isn't sweet, but even so, how could Luke give up? The Straw Hat Crew's chef must be Sanji."How can I leave? These guys are all unreliable, one by one. But one day I will go to the Grand Line," Sanji said."Then let's go now!""The time isn't right yet. I say, do you know about All Blue?"Sanji suddenly said, his eyes shining.When All Blue was mentioned, Sanji seemed to have endless things to say, and his entire demeanor changed."What? You don't know? That's the sea of miracles! In that sea, all the fish from the East Blue, West Blue, North Blue, and South Blue, all four sea regions, inhabit there!""For us chefs, it's like a paradise of dreams! It's in the Grand Line. How about it, you don't know about it?"Sanji spoke eloquently to Luke. Although Lukedidn't know about All Blue, he listened to Sanji's narration.Talking about this place made Sanji very happy, and Luke also smiled.
Chapter 29 The Cook Comes on BoardChapter 29: The Cook Joins the CrewLuke saw Zeff listening to their conversation from the second-floor balcony.He saw how happy Sanji was, surely he really wanted to go to the Grand Line."What a fool!" Zeff revealed a knowing smile.Soon after, it was dinner time.Sanji led everyone to the dining room and found that the cooks had already filled all the seats, with no extra chairs.It was clear they didn't want Sanji to sit and eat."Where do we sit?" Sanji asked.One cook calmly said, "There are no seats for you."Another cook chuckled, "You can eat on the floor, eat on the floor."Luke realized that these people were all acting, probably because Zeff had told them something.The goal was to drive Sanji away from here, and of course, it was also for Sanji's own good, otherwise, he would never make up his mind to leave."How can there be no seats? This is a restaurant," Sanji said.But in the end, Sanji, Luke, and the others still ate their meals on plates while sitting on the floor.Just then, the cook Patty took a sip of soup and slammed his hand on the table, exclaiming, "Who made this soup?"Sanji eagerly waved his hand, "It was me, it was me! It tastes great, I made it especially delicious today."Patty said with a look of disgust, "Who can drink such foul-tasting stuff? Is this pig slop? Bah! Bah!"Luke smiled slightly; everyone in this restaurant was an actor, much more professional than idol drama actors.Luke continued to eat his meal, letting them show off their acting skills.Hearing someone disparage his cooking, Sanjicouldn't stand it anymore and was consumed by rage."Does human food not suit your taste, you stinky raccoon!""Hmph! To make something this unpalatable is an art in itself; I'm about to throw up." Patty gave Sanjia thumbs-down gesture.Immediately after, another cook also started to act."It's so bad, I can't drink it!"All the cooks complained that Sanji's soup was terrible.Zeff came out, tasted a mouthful of soup, and, adhering to the principle of not wasting food, finished Sanji's soup before smashing the plate to show how terrible the soup was."Don't joke around, you stinky old man! What's the difference between this and the soup you make? Tell me!"Sanji grabbed Zeff's collar and demanded loudly.Zeff punched Sanji, sending him flying, then said, "I am a man who has cooked on the high seas all over the world."Sanji truly couldn't refute that point.Except for his childhood time with the VinsmokeFamily, he had spent all his other time in the East Blue and hadn't seen the vast world.Sanji angrily stormed out.An angry Sanji ran outside and performed a set of military boxing moves, venting his inner rage.Luke calmly finished his meal, or rather, ate half of it; the other half was secretly eaten by Luffy with a spoon."Wow, so full, so full!" Luffy said, patting his stomach.Then he scooped another bowl of soup; Luke and Luffy both thought the soup tasted very good.Zeff said, "I know that too."Zeff began to explain their reasons for doing so; everyone highly approved of Sanji's cooking, and they did this to force him to set sail."Hey kid, you said you needed a cook on your ship, right?" Zeff asked Luke.Luke nodded, wondering why he was asked instead of the Captain."It's not really a request, but could you take that kid with you too? Take him to the Grand Line. The Grand Line is his dream," Zeff said.The other cooks started chatting among themselves, talking about their acting just now.Presumably, Sanji, who was standing outside the door, must have heard everything.Next, everyone discussed how to get Sanji to come with them.First, Sanji himself had to agree; Zeff's pushing wouldn't work.Luke pushed open the door and saw Sanji leaning against the door frame."You must have heard everything," Luke said."Yeah, they're a bunch of hopeless guys."Sanji silently lit a cigarette, gazing into the distance, his mind filled with thoughts.Just then, a commotion came from afar.Upon closer inspection, it was a Bread Shark rapidly swimming towards the sea restaurant Baratie.The Bread Shark had Yosaku in its mouth.The Bread Shark, with Yosaku, directly crashed into the restaurant."Isn't that Yosaku?!" Luffy exclaimed in surprise."Captain Luffy.""Why are you alone? Where are they? Where's Nami?"Everyone helped Yosaku up and wrapped him in a towel.Yosaku began to recount the pursuit of Nami; from Nami's course, he had already guessed her destination."If our assumption is correct, that big sister's destination is quite a remarkable place.""In any case, we need Captain Luffy's help, please come with me immediately."Luffy nodded, "Okay, I don't quite understand, but I get it, let's go!"Luffy, Luke, and Yosaku walked out of the restaurant, preparing to take a small boat to search for Nami.Sanji stood there silently, lighting another cigarette."Wait a minute!" Sanji said.Everyone stopped and looked back at Sanji.Sanji, hands in his pockets, said, "We all have foolish dreams. I, for my goal, for the All Blue.""Sanji?" Luffy looked at Sanji in confusion."I'll go on an adventure with you then, for that so-called Pirate King dream. I'll be the cook on your ship."Hearing Sanji's words, Luke felt relieved; he would be able to eat delicious meals every day from now on."So, is it settled?" Sanji asked.Luffy was stunned for a moment, then cheered happily, "That's great! We have a cook, we'll have food to eat!"Sanji turned to the cooks, "That's the situation, everyone. I've caused you a lot of trouble. I'm really sorry, and I even made you put on a terrible act."The cook Patty exclaimed, "You knew all along!""I heard everything, you guys are too dumb.""Why do you always speak so harshly!" Patty said.Zeff snorted, "Kid, I've always hated children. There hasn't been a day I haven't regretted letting you live, you brat."Sanji also snorted, "Very well, you stinky old man, enjoy the rest of your life."After their bickering ended, everyone boarded Sanji's small boat.They took many ingredients from the sea restaurant, and at Luffy's strong insistence, they took a large amount of meat, which even left the cooks speechless."Give me more meat."Luffy said, opening his already full sack.What a foodie, Luke stood there, quietly watching Luffy carry the ingredients.Zeff suddenly came to Luke's side and handed him his logbook."Kid, this is my logbook from my year in the Grand Line. I think Luffy might not understand it, so I'm giving it to you."Luke politely declined, "No need, Uncle Zeff. Everything at sea is unknown. Instead of reading a logbook, it's more exhilarating to experience it firsthand.""Indeed," Zeff smiled slightly and put away the logbook.
Chapter 30 Nami's TracesChapter 30: Miss Nami's WhereaboutsBefore leaving, Sanji spent some time in every area of the Baratie.Everything on the ship carried his memories, and as he was about to leave, he felt a pang of reluctance.Finally, it was time to go.Sanji walked onto the deck, with chefs lining both sides to see him off."Let's go!"Sanji said faintly as he approached the ship."Aren't you going to say goodbye?" Luke leaned against the ship, watching Sanji.Sanji smiled slightly: "No need."Just as Sanji was about to step onto the ship, Zeff's voice came from behind him."Sanji, don't catch a cold."Those few words were enough to make Sanji break down.Tears welled up in Sanji's eyes and streamed down his face."Boss Zeff!"Sanji shouted, turning around and kneeling on the deck."Thank you for taking care of me all this time! I will never forget your great kindness!"Zeff looked at Sanji as if he were his own child; he was relieved that the bird had grown up and it was time for him to fly to a wider sky.Zeff also shed tears, and the other chefs were all wailing.It was clear that although they often bickered, they all cared for each other deep down."Let's go, we're setting sail!" Luffy faced the sea, spreading his arms wide."See you next time, you brats!"Sanji stood on the gradually departing ship, waving goodbye to the chefs.The sea restaurant, Baratie, gradually disappeared from everyone's sight.Now, there were only four people on this ship: Luffy, Luke, Sanji, and Yosaku.Nami had sailed the Going Merry to Cocoyasi Village, and Usopp had already set off in pursuit with the injured Zoro.On the beautiful sea, seagulls circled in the sky.Luke lay on the ship, quietly gazing at the beautiful sky.Life is not just about battles; it also has picturesque scenery.With such good weather, how could they not play some poker?Luke took out a deck of playing cards he bought in town and started playing poker with everyone.After explaining the rules, Yosaku and Sanji quickly understood, but only Luffy didn't.But it didn't matter; Luffy didn't need to participate in this slightly intellectual game, so Luke, Sanji, and Yosaku played poker."Four of a kind!"Luke played a four of a kind, followed by a straight, ending the round."I won, do you remember our bet?" Luke asked."Whoever loses buys a sack of jaboticabas," Sanjisaid, with a cigarette in his mouth."That's an easy one," Yosaku replied.The reason for using jaboticabas as a bet was simple: they resembled Devil Fruit, increasing the probability of identifying a Devil Fruit, or so Lukespeculated.After playing cards, Luke started fishing, and at the same time, he threw down a net to salvage items floating on the sea.Unlike Luke's quietness, Luffy ran around, shouting loudly, disturbing Sanji's peace.Now, the only thing sustaining Sanji's belief was Miss Nami.Whenever he thought of Miss Nami, Sanji would get a lovesick look, which was probably a major reason he was willing to join the pirate crew.After a day of fishing, he only caught one fish, and it was an octopus.No matter what kind of fish it was, as long as it was given to Sanji, he could turn it into a delicious meal."By the way, Yosaku, are we almost there?" Lukeasked.Yosaku sat up straight, his face serious, a stark contrast to the casual demeanor of the others.Yosaku slapped his thigh: "You are too naive, truly too naive! Do you understand that we are now approaching Arlong's territory step by step!"When he said the name Arlong, Yosaku was so agitated that he stammered.Luffy yawned: "It's almost time to eat, Sanji."Sanji nodded: "Octopus fried rice and octopus balls will be ready soon."Yosaku was once again shocked by everyone's casualness: "You guys don't know Arlong, do you?!"Sanji and Luffy both said they didn't know him.Luke nodded: "I know him. His bounty is 20 million Berries. It's alright.""What do you mean 'it's alright'? That's Arlong the Fishman!"Yosaku realized that no one was taking Arlongseriously, so he had to educate everyone about Arlong."Arlong is the Fishman who once caused a great disturbance on the Grand Line," Yosaku said, standing with his hands behind his back like a teacher."I haven't seen a Fishman yet," Luffy said.Sanji, meanwhile, was thinking of mermaids, and his eyes turned into heart shapes again, a true pervert.Luffy took out a drawing board and drew what he thought a Fishman looked like.What Luffy drew was a fish with four legs; only the 'fish' attribute seemed to match.Seeing that everyone still wasn't taking it seriously, Yosaku grew anxious.Yosaku once again described Arlong's brutality; Arlong, who had come to the East Blue, had already subjugated over 20 villages and towns, and his strength far surpassed that of Captain Krieg."But why would Miss Nami go to that guy's territory alone?" Sanji asked.Yosaku believed that Miss Nami was after Arlong's bounty and wanted to take him down."No, Miss Nami might be a mermaid, after all, she's so cute!"At this moment, Sanji's mind was once again filled with inappropriate images.Yosaku was completely defeated; none of these guys took Arlong seriously.Luke sat next to Sanji, swiped a cigarette from his cigarette case, and identified it casually."Ding! Identification successful. The cigarette has evolved into the 'Never Extinguishing, Non-Throat-Irritating, Calming and Soothing Cigarette'!"Holy cow, three affixes, Luke was stunned.Luke now judged the quality of identified items mainly by the number and quality of affixes.Three affixes were very rare, but it was a shame it was just a cigarette.Luke lit the cigarette, and immediately, a fragrant aroma filled the air."Hey, it's the same cigarette, but why does yours smell different from mine?" Sanji complained."Want one? I can identify one for you too!" Lukeasked.Sanji immediately became interested and wanted to see how Luke identified things, so he took out the remaining half-pack of cigarettes.Ten cigarettes were identified in two minutes.'Illusory Spring Dream Cigarette,' 'Hard and Indomitable Cigarette,' 'Fake Cigarette,' 'Tea Cigarette,' 'Irritable Cigarette,' 'Comfortable and Happy Cigarette.'Ten cigarettes of completely different natures were identified, and their appearances were also colorful.Sanji was astonished by this trick.Luke threw the fake cigarettes, irritable cigarettes, and other unfavorable ones into the sea, and gave the remaining decent ones to Sanji."Smoke this last, smoke it at night!"Luke pointed at the 'Illusory Spring Dream Cigarette' and instructed Sanji."Alright, I'll listen to you this once. I'll try this green cigarette first."The green one was the 'Comfortable and Happy Cigarette.' Sanji took a deep puff and felt his whole body enveloped in happiness, comfortable and at ease, with a feeling of floating."This is amazing, this cigarette is amazing!"As an old smoker, Sanji had never smoked such a good cigarette.The true happiness was yet to come; it would be when he smoked the 'Illusory Spring Dream Cigarette' at night, that's when he would truly feel like he was floating.
Chapter 31 Meeting Nami AgainChapter 31: Meeting Nami AgainYosaku looked at Luffy and the two others, completely out of patience.Even though Luffy was loud and boisterous, he was tolerable. Luke and Sanji, however, were excessive, smoking cigarettes, with smoke swirling around them as if they were in a dream.Yosaku covered his head, thinking, "It's over."Since this 'never-ending, throat-soothing, mind-calming cigarette' was discovered, Luke, who didn't used to smoke, also started.His restless heart calmed as the smoke entered his lungs, making him feel completely comfortable.Soon after, Sanji brought out delicious octopus fried rice and octopus balls.In addition to that, there was also tasty grilled meat and stir-fried dishes.The four of them sat around the table and began to eat with great relish.One octopus ball down, the bursting sensation was incredibly satisfying.Just as everyone was enjoying their meal, Luke and Sanji noticed movement in the sea.A huge dark shadow was swimming towards them.Luke knew what it was. The swimming shadow was Arlong Pirates' pet, Mohmoo, a giant sea cow.Accompanied by crashing waves, the sea cow Mohmoo emerged from the sea. Mohmoo's body was more than ten times larger than the pirate ship.Mohmoo was attracted by the smell of the food. His gaze was fixed on the meat on the table, and his dazed expression looked a bit cute."He's after the food, Luffy," Luke reminded him.Hearing that someone wanted to snatch his food, Luffy was the first to disagree."Rubber Pistol!"Luffy stretched his arm and punched the sea beast Mohmoo, sending him flying and sinking into the sea."Don't even think about my food!" Luffy said, pointing at the spot where the sea beast Mohmoo had fallen into the water.Soon after, accompanied by a furious roar from Mohmoo, he emerged from the sea again.He was clearly angry after being punched.Sanji gentlemanly said, "He must be injured and unable to find food on his own. Here, eat!"Sanji held the meat to Mohmoo's mouth.Just as Mohmoo opened his mouth, Sanji kicked him away."Go to hell, you bastard!" Sanji said.Mohmoo was once again knocked into the sea.Yosaku was shocked: "What are you doing, Big Brother Sanji? Where's the love?"Sanji took a puff of his cigarette and said, "That guy just tried to eat me too."Immediately after, with a roar, Mohmoo emerged from the sea again, extremely furious.Luke threw Thor's Hammer, and a precise spinning hammer strike created a large bump on Mohmoo's head.This time, the sea cow finally quieted down.Luke took out two thick ropes, tying one end to Mohmoo's horns and the other to the ship."This way, our speed will be much faster!" Lukeclapped his hands and said."You really are a devil," Sanji murmured, taking a puff of his cigarette."Wooooah, go, sea cow!"Luffy punched Mohmoo.Under everyone's coercion, the sea beast Mohmoo was forced into service, acting as a sea chauffeur, carrying everyone towards Arlong Park.This speed was much faster than wind power, and the hot weather also became cool due to the rushing sea breeze.Pulled by Mohmoo, they sped for an hour, and everyone finally saw a small island.There was a tower on the island, and that was Arlong Park."Charge! To Arlong Park!" Luffy stomped on Mohmoo and shouted, raising his arms.Soon, Mohmoo carried everyone to the front of Arlong Park.At this point, Mohmoo, exhausted, began to see stars and crashed into the rocks next to Arlong Park.With a loud bang, Mohmoo crashed into the rocks by the island.And the rapidly sailing small boat, due to the enormous inertia, was directly flung out, soaring over the island's forest."It's like flying in the sky!" Luffy exclaimed."It's not 'like,' we really are flying in the sky!" Yosakusaid.After flying for a while, the ship landed on the island's soil, then slid forward, scraping the ground.During the slide, everyone encountered Zoro, who was walking on the dirt road.Zoro was hit head-on by the ship, which only stopped after crashing into a rock wall.Sanji's small boat was smashed to pieces, completely scrapped."What in the world are you doing?!"Zoro crawled out of the wreckage, still bandaged."Of course, we're taking Nami back," Luffy said, patting the dust off his clothes."Where are Nami and Usopp?" Luke asked.At the mention of Usopp, Zoro had a bad feeling."That guy's been captured by Arlong. If we don't hurry, he'll be killed."Just then, Johnny suddenly appeared."He's already been killed! It's too late! Big Brother Usopp is dead!"Johnny collapsed to the ground, saying.Usopp, of course, wasn't dead; it was just a play Nami and Usopp were putting on.Nami pretended to stab Usopp with a knife, but actually plunged the knife into her own hand, then pushed Usopp into the water, rescuing him from Arlong Park.From Johnny's perspective, he thought Nami had killed Usopp because of the blood; it was too realistic, and his angle of view wasn't clear."That woman is a witch! She's colluding with Arlong! Everyone has been deceived by her all this time!" Johnny, unaware of the truth, was very angry.Luffy grabbed Johnny by the collar: "How could Nami kill Usopp? We're nakama!""Who said I'm your nakama, Luffy!"Nami's figure appeared before everyone.Nami stood there holding a stick, her face cold and indifferent."What are you talking about? Aren't you our nakama? We came to pick you up," Luffy said."How troublesome. Nakama? Don't make me laugh. It's just a boring group helping each other out. Now Arlong is hunting Zoro and his companions because Zoro caused trouble inside Arlong Park.""Even if each of you is as strong as a monster, you can't defeat a true monster. If you continue to wander around on this island, you'll definitely be killed. But anyway, it's none of my business."Luke's mouth curved upwards, and he exhaled a smoke ring: "If it's none of your business, why would you kindly come to warn us, Nami? If you have any difficulties, you can ask us for help. We're nakama.""Yeah, yeah, we're nakama!" Luffy echoed.Nami's heart was also in turmoil. Luffy and Lukewere indeed strong, but Arlong was stronger. Asking them for help would mean sending them to their deaths. Nami had already decided to bear everything herself."I'm fine. I don't need any help," Nami said."Alright, we respect your decision."Luke found a coconut tree and sat under it to cool off.When Sanji saw Nami again, his eyes turned into heart shapes: "Even her cold expression is charming! Hey, Miss Nami, do you remember me? Let's go sailing together!""Where did Usopp go?" Zoro asked."In the sea," Nami replied."That's enough!"Zoro drew his sword and charged at Nami, but Sanjistopped him."If you want to fight, go fight outside the island. Outsiders, don't interfere with the affairs of this land anymore. Don't you understand? The only reason I approached you was for money. Now that you're penniless, you have no appeal whatsoever. I'll give you back the ship. You can find another navigator and enter the Grand Line! Goodbye!"Nami used cold words to try and drive everyone away.Luffy, hearing this, immediately lay on the ground and gave up, not wanting to leave, just sleeping.Sometimes, Luke thought Luffy was quite clever."Do whatever you want. Just die here then!"Nami shouted, then turned and ran away.
Chapter 32 Colonel MouseChapter 32: Colonel NezumiNami left, and everyone sat on the ground, waiting quietly.Sanji didn't believe Nami had killed Usopp, which led to an argument between him and Zoro.While the two were arguing, Usopp appeared.Usopp explained the whole story to everyone; Namihadn't killed him but was saving him, and for that, Nami had stabbed her own arm.Luke already knew all of this, so while Usopp was explaining, he went for a walk in Cocoyasi Village.Cocoyasi Village is Nami's hometown; she grew up there, and its specialty is oranges.Walking into Cocoyasi Village, it felt very quiet; there were no villagers on the streets, and the atmosphere was very oppressive.Arlong had ruled this village for eight years, collecting money periodically. It would be a miracle if people could be happy.In this quiet village, the sound of things being smashed suddenly echoed.Luke, curious, walked towards that room and saw Nami inside, fuming.Vases, plates, and glass in the room were all shattered, clearly Nami's doing.Outside the room stood a woman with short blue hair and slightly tanned skin; it was Nami's older sister, Nojiko.Nami and Nojiko were both adopted by Belle-Merewhen they were young and had no blood relation.Belle-Mere was killed on the day Arlong occupied the village."You are...?" Nojiko looked at Luke with a hint of confusion.She was familiar with everyone in the village, so seeing Luke, an outsider, made her a little wary."I'm here for Nami. She's our ship's navigator. She secretly ran back alone for some reason, so we came to find her," Luke explained."So you're with that long-nosed guy. I heard that Nami laughed very happily while traveling with you. I haven't seen her like that in years. Since you're here, go in and talk to her," Nojiko said."Alright."Luke pushed open Nami's door and saw Nami lie on the table with a treasure map in front of her."You're making quite a fuss, Nami. What exactly happened?"Luke sat next to Nami and picked up the treasure map for an appraisal."Ding! Appraisal successful. The ordinary treasure map has been appraised as a legendary treasure map. Find the marked dot on the map, and you will discover a mysterious treasure."Luke was shocked. If this was the case, he would have Nami draw more treasure maps in the future, and then they would go search for them.Just as Luke was about to tuck the treasure map into his pocket, Nami snatched it away."What are you doing? This treasure map is mine."Nami was absolutely unyielding when it came to treasures and treasure maps.Luke sighed helplessly: "Didn't I tell you we'd help? Returning to Cocoyasi Village alone, do you not consider us important?"Hearing Luke's words, Nami paused, feeling a warmth in her heart."Thank you for your kindness, but you should still leave here."Luke could guess Nami's thoughts. She had been very happy with the Straw Hat Pirates during this time, and deep down, she was willing to join them.Her only concern was Cocoyasi Village, and what she feared was the Arlong Pirates.She didn't want her companions to get involved and be harmed because of her.It was clear that Nami was a very kind girl."Whether we leave here isn't up to me. That idiotic Captain has already given up; he just wants you as our ship's navigator, and there's nothing I can do," Luke shrugged.Luke had another reason for wanting to recruit Nami: she was smart. Their win rate in cards was fifty-fifty, otherwise, playing cards would be boring.At this moment, Nami had saved 93,000,000 Berries, with 7,000,000 Berries left to fulfill her promise with Arlong.She needed to spend 100,000,000 Berries to buy Cocoyasi Village from Arlong.For the remaining 7,000,000 Berries, Nami only needed to go out to sea one more time to steal it from pirates.For Nami, settling things with money was the best method, as no one would get hurt."I have other things to do, I'm really sorry," Namisaid.However, things did not unfold as she wished.Nami regained her confidence, pushed open the door, and with a sunny expression, declared: "Let's go! One last theft!"Just then, a group of Marines approached Nami.The leader of this group of Marines was a Colonel named Nezumi.Nami didn't understand why there were Marines here now.Colonel Nezumi let out a peculiar laugh: "You're the thief named Nami, aren't you? According to our investigation, the treasures you stole from pirates are hidden in this orange grove, aren't they?"Nami had hidden all the treasures she had accumulated over the years in the orange grove, and she was just a little short of 100,000,000 Berries. At this moment, Colonel Nezumi was about to take all her savings.Colonel Nezumi continued: "You stole from pirates, so we won't blame you, but the stolen property rightfully belongs to the Marine for confiscation. Alright, hand over all the loot!"Nami looked at Colonel Nezumi in shock, imagining how painful it would be to have to re-download a torrent file that was 99% complete."Well, did you hear me or not?" Colonel Nezumi asked.Nami snorted coldly: "This is truly unexpected. You're really dedicated to your work, aren't you? Lacking the courage to confront pirates, you come after a thief to earn points for yourself. How remarkable. Let me give you a warning first: I am an executive of the Arlong Pirates. If you dare to touch me, Arlong won't stand by."Colonel Nezumi said: "Little girl, do you think that's enough to negotiate with me on equal terms? Find me the stolen goods."Colonel Nezumi ordered his subordinates to search around the room for the stolen goods."Wait!" Nami shouted.Nami then grabbed a wooden staff and knocked out two Marines.Nami loudly questioned: "Is this really the job you Marines should be doing now? The Arlong Piratesnot only murder but also destroy entire towns! You must know that! They still rule this island, trampling on lives everywhere, yet you ignore this problem and extort loot from a thief. Is this the Marine's intention?"Any normal person would understand these words, but how could an abnormal person comprehend them?Colonel Nezumi let out a sinister laugh. He had already formed a partnership with Arlong, a perfect example of colluding for evil. He didn't care about any of this; as long as he got the money, it was fine."Continue the search," Colonel Nezumi ignored Nami's voice."People all over the island have been waiting for your Marine rescue for so many years, yet you can still ignore them and come to me."No matter how Nami shouted, Colonel Nezumi chose to ignore her."Colonel, we think this orange grove looks promising."A Marine said."Dig it up and see."Nami's treasure was hidden in this orange grove
Chapter 33 Of courseChapter 33: Of Course"Don't you dare touch my tangerine grove with your filthy hands!"Nami knocked down a Marine with a wooden stick."I won't give you my money!""This child's money is meant to save Cocoyasi Village, do you Marines still have the right to take it away?" said A Jian, the village guard.At this moment, Nojiko also walked over: "You Marines are completely unreliable. If you don't want to save this village, then get out of here quickly. If you linger any longer, your ship will also be targeted.""By Arlong? That's hard to say. Haven't you found it yet? That's one hundred million Berries."Captain Nezumi ignored everyone's words and ordered his Marines.Hearing Captain Nezumi's words, Nami understood.Why Captain Nezumi knew there was one hundred million Berries hidden here was simple: Arlong told him.Arlong used the Marines to take Nami's money, preventing Nami from fulfilling her promise.This way, Nami would have to continue staying with the Arlong Pirates, drawing navigation charts for them, and the villagers of Cocoyasi Village would never be saved.Nami's eyes had become dull, her mind filled with Arlong's unrestrained laughter.Nami clenched her fists: "Could it be that Arlongsent you?"Captain Nezumi's mouth curved upwards: "Who knows? We are just Marines taking appropriate action against a thief.""You are truly a bunch of corrupt individuals!" shouted A Jian, the guard.Nojiko also shouted: "You Marines are colluding with pirates!"Nami bit her lip, trembling all over."Found it!" a Marine said.In the tangerine grove, the Marines dug out the money Nami had hidden.A large pile of money made Captain Nezumi overjoyed."This is truly amazing! A little girl managed to get so much. Men, move the boxes!""Don't touch it, don't touch it, don't touch it!"Nami walked towards Captain Nezumi, trembling all over."Don't touch it, don't touch it, don't touch it!"Just then, Captain Nezumi raised his pistol towards Nami.Nojiko and A Jian, seeing this, immediately rushed over.Captain Nezumi pulled the trigger without hesitation.A figure timely blocked Nami and Nojiko.Luke used Thor's Hammer to block the bullet.Nojiko and Nami were not injured."Luke." Nami looked at Luke's back, wanting to say something but couldn't, feeling very wronged in her heart.Luke spun Thor's Hammer and walked towards Captain Nezumi. Luke was a little angry now."Oh, oh, oh, a young man stepping forward. How naive. Are you going to oppose us Marines?"Captain Nezumi pointed his pistol at Luke and asked loudly."I don't care what kind of Marine you are. I only know that you made my companion cry."Luke looked at Captain Nezumi and said with cold eyes.Seeing that his intimidation was useless, Captain Nezumi ordered the Marines: "Everyone, open fire, kill this thug!"As soon as he finished speaking, a lightning bolt accompanied by thunder struck, and the Marines were hit by the sudden lightning, falling to the ground one after another, unable to get up.Only Captain Nezumi was left alone, facing Luke.Luke placed his hand on Captain Nezumi's shoulder and asked coldly: "When did I tell you to move the boxes?"Captain Nezumi finally became afraid. Luke could feel his muscles trembling.Captain Nezumi wanted to take the opportunity to pull the trigger of his pistol, but Luke exerted a slight force, and Captain Nezumi's shoulder was in excruciating pain, making him unable to exert any strength."Are you afraid now?" Luke asked.Captain Nezumi swallowed: "I... I am a MarineCaptain. Do you know the consequences of doing this?"Luke laughed, reached out and grabbed Captain Nezumi's six uniquely long whiskers and said: "Are you telling a joke? I am a pirate to begin with. Am I afraid of being wanted by the Marines?""Let go of me! You should know Arlong's strength. Arlong and I are partners. If you hurt me, Arlong will definitely not let you go."Seeing that his Marine identity was ineffective, Captain Nezumi revealed his other identity: Arlong's partner.Luke burst into laughter: "Did everyone hear that? This guy is colluding with Arlong. He's a Marine!"Luke yanked off Captain Nezumi's six whiskers: "As a Marine, your stance is so unstable. I truly feel ashamed for the word 'Justice' behind you!""What are you going to do? If you dare touch me, Arlong will not let you go!"Captain Nezumi covered his mouth and retreated in horror.Luke took a deep breath, turned his back to Nami, and said calmly: "Nami, it's time to make your choice. Will you choose to let this guy go and then go to Arlong to humble yourself, or will you get rid of this guy and destroy the Arlong Pirates with us?"Luke had been waiting for an opportunity, waiting for Nami's determination.Nami's stubbornness was finally shattered at this moment.The pain of losing loved ones, eight years of endurance, erupted in tears at this moment.Nami collapsed to the ground, tears streaming uncontrollably."Luke, help me!"Hearing these words, Luke smiled.Sorry, Luffy, I stole your thunder, but hearing these words made Luke very happy, because he really couldn't stand Captain Nezumi's actions, nor could he bear to see Nami being bullied.Luke raised his right hand, ready to shout, "Of course!" and thus win over Nami.However, a familiar voice sounded from the side.Luffy raised both hands and shouted loudly: "Of course!"Luke looked at Luffy with a bewildered expression. When did this guy appear? He stole his line—no, it should be said that it was originally his line.Luke gave Luffy a hammer to the head: "Why did you steal my line, you guy?"Luffy covered his head and said aggrievedly: "What's the big deal? I've been watching from the side for a long time. Nami needs help, and we must help her.""I know we need to help, but can't you wait a bit longer to make your entrance?""No, I can't hold it in!" Luffy said.Luke was speechless, full of suppressed anger, and just happened to see Captain Nezumi trying to escape."Die, you bastard!"Luke threw a spinning hammer, which accurately hit Captain Nezumi's back. The force was not controlled well, and it was unknown whether he was dead or alive, but that no longer mattered.At the entrance of Cocoyasi Village, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp were waiting quietly.Luffy and Luke silently walked out of the village.Upon reaching the village entrance, the five members of the Straw Hat Pirates reunited."Let's go!" Luffy said with a serious expression."Mm!"Everyone replied.Everyone followed Luffy's footsteps, heading towards Arlong Park.
Chapter 34 Group BattleChapter 34: Gathering for a Group BattleThe five arrived at the main gate of the Arlong Pirates.The villagers, hearing the news, also rushed over with their weapons; their resentment towards Arlong finally erupted at this moment.The gate was tightly shut, and Arlong's laughter could be heard from inside.Luke swung Thor's Hammer, directly blasting open the gate, and Arlong's laughter ceased abruptly.Arlong looked at the blasted gate with a shocked expression: "What happened?"Luffy raised his fist and asked: "Which one is Arlong?"Arlong said arrogantly: "I am Arlong."Luffy silently walked towards Arlong: "I am Luffy.""Luffy? What do you do?""A Pirate!"Two Fishmen blocked Luffy's path but were easily knocked down by Luffy."What do Pirates want with me?" Arlong asked haughtily.Luffy extended his right fist and punched Arlong in the face, sending Arlong flying."Don't make my navigator cry!" Luffy shouted.This punch marked the official start of the war between the Straw Hat Pirates and the Arlong Pirates.Arlong, this experience-rich boss, was left to Luffy. Luke didn't interfere blindly, leaving three slightly more powerful executives.Hatchan the swordsman was for Zoro, Kuroobi the Fishman Karate user was for Sanji, and as for Chew, he was for Usopp.Luke would take care of the remaining small fry."You bastard, how dare you attack Big Brother Arlong!"The Fishmen swarmed towards Luffy.Luke pointed with one hand, and lightning struck down from the sky."The small fry should get out of my way," Luke said indifferently.He dealt with these small fry in one move, which was very satisfying.Not far away, Arlong calmly stood up."Pirates, I see. You were after Nami from the very beginning, weren't you? But what can a mere five lower species accomplish?" Arlong said disdainfully.Arlong was an out-and-out racist, believing the Fishman race was supreme."I'll take care of these guys!"Hatchan roared, and then his stomach began to inflate."What is that octopus trying to do?" Zoro wondered.Sanji said: "First, boil the octopus in salt water, then slice it, and season it with olive oil and chili powder. It's perfect as a snack with drinks.""Take this, complete blindness, Octopus Hatchan's Ink Jet!"With that, a thick stream of ink shot out from Hatchan's mouth.Luke and the others quickly dodged, only Luffy was hit by the ink, turning into a black Luffy."To come in for a woman like that, you people are truly laughable!" said the Fishman Kuroobi."A woman like that? Try insulting Miss Nami one more time, and I'll throw you onto a buttered frying pan and pan-fry you into a fish fillet, you stinky Fishman!"Sanji had already locked eyes with Kuroobi."For a human, you're not bad. A Pirate still advocating such chivalry is ultimately too naive," Kuroobi said, crossing his arms over his chest.Sanji took a puff from his cigarette: "Then come and see if my chivalry is naive or not!"Kuroobi clenched his fists: "It seems you don't know the true rank of the Fishman race."Kuroobi assumed a Fishman Karate stance, ready to fight Sanji.On the other side, Zoro blocked Hatchan.Usopp, meanwhile, was confronted by Chew the Fishman, and Usopp took off running.However, Usopp's escape direction was not outside, but towards Luke, which was different from the original plot."Outside, run outside!"Luke pointed outside, meaning for Usopp to take down Chew himself, as he originally had the ability to do so.But Usopp didn't listen. The reason he ran outside in the original story was because the Straw Hat Pirates had no other fighting power. Now that Lukewas here, Usopp ran towards Luke."Help me take down this guy, Luke, and I won't mind you making me eat that pill anymore!"Usopp came to Luke's side and directly hid behind him.Luke shook his head helplessly; it was truly Usopp's style."Take him down, Luke, I'll cover you from the side!" Usopp took out his slingshot and aimed at Chew."I appraised your slingshot last time. Try fighting him with this slingshot; it's not as difficult as you imagine. Aren't you a brave warrior of the sea?" Lukesaid.Usopp pushed his goggles with his finger, cold sweat beading on his forehead, but he still bravely took a step forward."Th…that's right, I am Captain Usopp, a brave warrior of the sea,"Then Usopp leaned close to Luke's ear and whispered: "If I can't beat him later, you have to help.""No problem," Luke said, patting his chest.With Luke's backing, Usopp instantly became confident.Usopp picked up his slingshot and shot a "Fire Bird Star" at Chew.The flaming pill struck Chew at an extremely fast speed, and Chew was knocked down before he could react.Chew was covered in flames, rolling on the ground.Usopp looked at the slingshot in his hand with some surprise: "Ah haha, you know how amazing CaptainUsopp is now, don't you!"Chew did a carp jump and stood up: "Since you want to die so badly, I'll kill you right now!"Chew chased after Usopp, and Usopp ran, circling Luke as he fought Chew."Stop, long nose!" Chew shouted."Your own mouth isn't any different!" Usopp retorted as he ran.Everyone had found their opponents, and Lukecalmly walked alone towards the Arlong Park's storeroom.They could fight their battles; Luke went to see if there were any good items inside worth appraising.In Arlong Park, Usopp, holding his slingshot, continuously kited Chew, making him a bit overwhelmed."Wahahaha, you're scared now that you see how amazing I am!" Usopp taunted."You stop right there!"Chew was a Fishman, and his running speed was a weakness. Coupled with Usopp, a man with maxed-out running ability, he was truly powerless.However, the difference in their strength was vast; Chew could make countless mistakes, but Usoppcould only make one."How could I stop? Take this, Fire Bird Star!"Usopp muttered to himself, with Luke backing him, he wasn't scared at all; that guy had a very powerful Thor's Hammer.Usopp looked around Arlong Park: "Huh!? Where's Luke?"At this moment, Chew caught up again."Luke, where did you go, you guy!?" Usopp shouted as he ran.At this time, Luke was in Arlong's storeroom.As expected of Arlong, he had hidden so much treasure.A golden cup appeared before his eyes, and Lukepicked it up.Would it appraise into the Holy Grail of Destiny? Luke used All-Things Appraisal on the golden goblet."Ding, appraisal successful. The golden goblet has been appraised as the Ever-Flowing Goblet of Water!"Luke was a bit puzzled; what did "ever-flowing" mean?He could see pure drinking water appearing in the goblet.Luke poured the water out and found that it never ran out. So, that's what "ever-flowing" meant.
Chapter 35 Storage RingChapter 35: Storage RingThis goblet is quite good. We won't have to worry about drinking water on the ship anymore, and it will be very useful in the desert.Tucking the goblet into his bag, Luke continued to search for interesting items to appraise.Next, Luke saw a golden ring, which looked quite similar to the One Ring."Sauron, Sauron, Sauron."Luke chanted the spell, using All-Things Appraisal on the golden ring."Ding! Appraisal Critical Hit! The Golden Ring has been appraised as a Golden Storage Ring, with a storage space of 100 cubic meters."It was actually the legendary storage space ring! Luke immediately put it on and felt it out.A 100-cubic-meter Different Space appeared in his mind. He could retrieve items from it with a mere thought and put items in at will.It was very convenient, and Luke was very satisfied with this appraisal."Luke, you liar!?"Usopp's voice came from Arlong Park.Luke simply ignored it. People still have to rely on themselves. These are all experience babies; only through battle can they grow. Keep it up, Usopp, Luke silently thought.Next, Luke pulled a sword from the treasure hoard.This sword was a typical katana, with a black scabbard, a black hilt, and golden patterns etched upon it.Drawing this sword, a cold glint flashed, inspiring fear in onlookers."What a good sword!" Luke exclaimed.Luke had high hopes for this sword. He took a deep breath and used All-Things Appraisal on it.A golden light flashed, and Luke looked at the sword with a hint of anticipation."Ding! Appraisal successful. The Great Grade Sword has been appraised as the Wooden Sword, lake toya. Order a new wooden sword from a TV shopping advertisement."Watching the Great Grade Sword in his hand transform into a wooden sword, Luke was dumbfounded.Drawing this wooden sword, the three large characters 'lake toya' on the hilt appeared before his eyes. There was no chilling aura, nor did it inspire fear.He chopped it against the corner of a table; the table corner didn't break, but the wooden sword nearly did."It truly is you, lake toya!"Luke directly tossed the Wooden Sword, lake toya, into his storage space.At this moment, a figure flew past Luke.Accompanied by a huge crashing sound, the figure flew further and further, falling to the ground motionless.Upon closer inspection, it turned out that FishmanKuroobi had been defeated, kicked away by Sanji.This meant that the battles of Zoro and Sanji were already over, and Usopp and Chu were almost done. All that remained was the battle between Luffy and Arlong.Luke used his Storage Ring to pack all the useful items he found in the storeroom, planning to appraise them later when he returned to the ship.Returning to the courtyard, Zoro was already unconscious on the ground, and Sanji was half-kneeling.Standing before them was the Fishman leader, Arlong, with water dripping from his palm.Although the executives of the Arlong Pirates had been defeated, Arlong's strength was terrifying. With just the water from his palm, he had beaten Zoro and Sanji to the point where they couldn't fight back.As soon as Luke came out, Arlong's gaze fixed on him.This made Luke a little depressed. You are Luffy's opponent, why are you staring at me?Arlong questioned condescendingly, "You, what were you doing in my storeroom?"Luke looked up at Arlong. This guy must be nearly three meters tall, with a massive physique, strong body, and eight-pack abs that looked flawless.His strong teeth and serrated nose could both serve as his weapons."I just took a cup."Luke took out the Golden Goblet of Ever-Drying.Arlong snorted, "Just a golden cup. I thought you might take something good from there. Human vision is truly limited.""And this string of jewels."Luke, as if performing a magic trick, took out a large string of jewels.Arlong looked puzzled. These jewels were indeed his, but where did he take them from?Luke then took out a box of gold coins, then several famous swords, then several bottles of fine wine, and then a few decent golden armor coats.Arlong grew increasingly astonished, "You, how many things did you take from me?!"Luke wiped the sweat from his forehead and said calmly, "I took it all."Luke didn't know how much he had taken. In any case, the 100-cubic-meter storage space was almost full. He would just discard the useless items after appraising them.Arlong's veins bulged, and he swung his fist at Luke.Luke extended his right hand, blocking Arlong's fist.Two thousand Doriki was no joke."How is this possible?!"Arlong found his fist unable to move. Luke's body stood firm, unmoved in the slightest."You are inferior beings. From birth, you exist in a different dimension than us. Let me show you the true difference between me and you!" Arlong said.Luke squeezed Arlong's fist and said, "Still talking tough? Try to move if you dare."With a slight exertion of force from Luke, Arlongcried out in pain."Try my shark teeth!"Arlong opened his mouth, and his sharp teeth, like steel blades, bit towards Luke.Luke did not dodge or evade, and was bitten on the arm by Arlong."Luke!" Nami, who was watching the battle, exclaimed."Why didn't you dodge?!" Sanji shouted.However, a surprising scene occurred: all of Arlong's teeth shattered.On Luke's arm, a faint black film was visible."Sorry about that, I have Armament Haki," Luke said calmly.Arlong was shocked by Luke's strength and retreated a few steps in fear.Luke patted the dust off himself, "Your opponent is our Captain. I'm just interested in treasure."As Luke spoke, he put all the treasures he had just taken out back into his Storage Ring.At this moment, Luffy was half-trapped underwater, with only his head exposed. Security guard A Jianwas holding Luffy's head to prevent him from drowning.Sanji swam to the bottom and kicked apart the rocks trapping Luffy.Finally, Luffy revived.Luffy's loud laughter echoed through Arlong Park."I'm revived!"Luke, meanwhile, chose to be a bystander, standing with Usopp and the villagers."Ah, you, where did you run off to just now? You said you'd help me!" Usopp pointed at Luke and questioned loudly.Luke calmly said, "Where is that Fishman named Chu? I'll go beat him up for you right now.""Beat me up, my foot! I already defeated him! I took care of an executive, an executive was taken care of by me, hahahaha!"Usopp stood with his hands on his hips, recounting his glorious achievements.Luke was genuinely happy for him. In the world of pirates, Usopp represented ordinary people. Without a Devil Fruit or martial arts, being able to defeat a Fishman executive was truly remarkable."Well done, Usopp!" Luke patted Usopp's shoulder.Usopp rubbed his nose, "Hmph, of course! I am Captain Usopp! Wait a minute! Don't think that praising me like this will cover up your crime. Where did you run off to just now? I almost got killed!"Luke pointed to Arlong Park's storeroom, "I took a lot of their treasure. I'll share some with you later."Upon hearing about sharing treasure, Usoppimmediately brightened, "Oh, is that so? In that case, I'll reluctantly forgive you."
