Chapter 312 Revolutionary ArmyChapter 312: Revolutionary ArmyLuke glanced at Trebol, who had a long snot flowing from his nose, leaned on a golden staff inlaid with three large rubies, wore sunglasses, and had hair and a beard that nearly reached his waist. There was also a huge gap between his teeth. He could only be described as super, super sloppy."To dare to infiltrate here! Fortunately, Joker asked me to check this place, or else you would have ruined everything," Trebol said.Flames flickered in Luke's hand. The Flame King Gloves, after a second appraisal, had become the Blazing Yellow Gloves, and the power of the flames increased once more.A fierce fiery punch flew towards Trebol, instantly melting his mucus."Ah, so hot, so hot!"Trebol jumped out of the ring of fire and stuck his body to the ceiling."If you surrender, I won't kill you," Luke said, pointing at Trebol.Trebol was somewhat shocked to hear someone speak such words to him. He was one of the four highest-ranking executives of the Donquixote Family, having lived a life of luxury for many years. Who would dare to say such a thing to him?"Surrender is impossible! You can never defeat Joker!"Immediately, Trebol flung out disgusting mucus.Luke easily dodged the mucus and looked at Trebol, realizing he couldn't underestimate this guy.Although Trebol was sloppy, it was important to remember that he was the founder who assembled the Donquixote Family and the one who gave Doflamingo the String-String Fruit ability.Initially, Luke had some expectations for his strength, but after fighting for a while, he found that this guy was nothing special, especially with a bounty of only 99 million Berries."Damn it, I can't hit him!" Trebol frantically shot sticky chains, but Luke dodged them all."Too slow."In the blink of an eye, Luke appeared behind Treboland delivered an aerial kick, sending Trebol crashing from the ceiling to the ground.Trebol, already 49 years old, hit the ground heavily, feeling as if his bones were about to crack."Pfft ah~" A mouthful of fresh blood spurted from Trebol's mouth.However, Trebol did not choose to sit idly by. Instead, he used his skill, Sticky Cannon, releasing a large amount of block-shaped mucus from his body.Luke walked leisurely through the mucus bubbles, not a single one hitting his body, thanks to his powerful Observation Haki.Then, Luke came before Trebol and snatched the golden scepter from his hand."This scepter is good. Three large rubies. I feel like it could appraise into something nice," Luke praised."If you let me go, this scepter is yours," Trebol finally felt scared. He hadn't realized how terrifying Lukewas until they fought. This guy's strength was unfathomable, completely on a different level."No, unless you tell me the location of your Donquixote Family's treasure vault, otherwise I'll kill you," Luke said fiercely."Joker will kill me for that!""So you want to die now?" Luke placed his longsword against Trebol's neck and lightly sliced, creating a bloodstain."I'll tell you, I'll tell you!" Trebol pointed upwards.Luke put Sea Stone handcuffs on Trebol: "You lead the way. Words alone mean nothing. If I don't find it, I'll kill you!"And so, Luke, with the incapacitated Trebol, walked towards Robin's side to see how things were going there.Upon arriving, he found the battle to be very intense.Gladius's Exploding Fruit was very powerful. Whenever Kalifa got close, he would unleash a violent explosion, pushing her back.However, Kalifa was not to be trifled with. She took out her special leather whip and attacked Gladius, each whip producing a loud explosion."Master, please wait a moment. I'll finish the battle immediately!" Kalifa said.Gladius was somewhat angry: "A woman, you're underestimating me too much, aren't you? Exploding Rock!"Gladius touched the ground with both hands, detonating the mechanisms set in the ground. A powerful explosion, accompanied by rocks, flew towards everyone.Luke picked up Robin and Ain, moving away from the battlefield.Kalifa used Moonwalk to dodge the explosion attack.But Trebol, standing in the center of the explosion with Sea Stone handcuffs, was not so lucky. He was blown black all over, his hair was burned off, making him bald, and his clothes were tattered."Trebol, what are you doing here!" Gladiusexclaimed.Trebol, with Sea Stone handcuffs, was unable to use his Devil Fruit ability. Now, he was blasted unconscious, lying on the ground, and couldn't be woken up no matter how much he was shaken."Six King Gun!"Kalifa flew out from the side, delivering a Six Styles Ogi (secret technique) towards Gladius.Gladius raised his arm to block, colliding with the Six King Gun, causing a violent explosion.After the explosion, the smoke cleared, and both stood there, making it impossible to tell who had the upper hand."To endure such a violent explosion and be unharmed!" Gladius exclaimed.Kalifa sneered, then her skin was covered in Armament Haki, turning her entirely black: "A person who only knows how to use Devil Fruit abilities cannot become strong."Kalifa used Six Styles Soru, disappearing from in front of Gladius, and reappearing behind him the next second.Under Gladius's astonished gaze, she used Six Styles Finger Pistol, piercing through Gladius's chest.Gladius clutched his chest, looking at the blood flowing from the wound, his eyes filled with an incredulous expression."Whether it's speed, strength, or combat experience, you are inferior to me, Explosion Man!" Kalifa said.Luke made a throat-slitting gesture. Kalifaunderstood what he meant and immediately killed Gladius.Just as Luke was about to leave with everyone, a group of people approached from nearby.Leading them was the spirited Sabo, holding a steel pipe, accompanied by his Revolutionary Armytroops.Sabo saw Luke, a smile playing on his lips: "It seems I arrived too late; you've already handled it.""I only took care of two executives; the factory here hasn't been destroyed yet," Luke shrugged."The Revolutionary Army will gladly take these factory goods. I went to the coliseum earlier and saw Luffy fighting fiercely with a guy named Bullet," Sabo said.Luke understood Sabo's purpose for being here: to expose the truth about the factories in Dressrosaand prevent the export of weapons that fueled wars in various countries around the world."That's just how he is; he wants to challenge any strong opponent he meets. What about you? What are your plans next?" Luke asked."The goal of destroying the factories has been achieved. The rest is to crush the Donquixote Family and then have a good drink with Luffy," Saboshowed a happy smile.Currently, the Donquixote Family is essentially crumbling. Powerful executives are being defeated one by one, and with the Straw Hat Crew, the entire nation, and the Marine's encirclement, their downfall is a foregone conclusion.
Chapter 313 Battle CenterChapter 313: The Heart of the BattleLeaving the underground trade market, I returned to the palace.Pica was in a fierce battle with Zoro. The city was in a panic, and people were filled with righteous indignation, clamoring for Doffy to give them an explanation.Doffy was furious at this moment. To prevent the residents of Dressrosa from escaping, Doffy flew into the sky and unleashed his large-scale skill, Birdcage, trapping everyone in the city."What is this?!""We can't get out!"The pirates on the island picked up their weapons and tried desperately to cut the strings, but found they couldn't cut them at all.Luffy and Bullet, who were fighting in the arena, noticed something was wrong and stopped their battle."Forget it, fighting with a kid is boring. I'm not fighting, I'm not fighting!" Bullet turned and flew towards the Birdcage in the sky.Luffy, panting, activated Gear Two and Gear Three, but found he still couldn't beat Bullet. He almost activated Gear Four."So hungry~" Luffy returned to the ground, his ears drooping.At this moment, Bartolomeo excitedly ran over: "Luffy-sama, here's the meat I brought for you!"Seeing a large piece of meat appear in front of him, Luffy couldn't wait to eat it."Delicious, delicious!" Luffy chewed with relish.In just about ten seconds, the large piece of meat was devoured by Luffy."I'm revived!" Luffy cheered, raising his arms."That's great!" Bartolomeo celebrated along with him."Thank you, by the way, who are you?" Luffy looked at him in confusion."Bartolomeo, your loyal fan. Oh, and Luke-sama told me earlier that if you finished here, you could go to the castle. There's a lot of delicious meat there," Bartolomeo said.As soon as he heard 'meat,' Luffy's eyes lit up: "I'm going now, meat, meat!"With that, Luffy used Moonwalk and quickly flew towards the central castle.Bartolomeo looked at Luffy's departing direction with an expression of admiration: "Luffy-sama has already learned Moonwalk, how amazing! I'm going to follow him too!"At this time, everyone was converging towards the central castle, as the battle here was too conspicuous.The giant Pica obscured the sky, and meteorites occasionally fell from the sky, causing violent explosions.Luke and Law stood together again. Law had been observing, waiting for the perfect opportunity to strike."Xiao-dono, it's your turn!" Law said."You go first, I'll follow!" Luke replied."Okay!" Law rushed out without a second thought."Joker!" Law shouted.Doffy saw Law flying towards him and delivered a sweeping kick imbued with Armament Haki, sending Law flying. Law crashed heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood.Law looked at Luke beside him in astonishment: "Why didn't you go?"Luke had just said it casually, not expecting Law to actually take him seriously. This friend was worth keeping."Don't worry, reinforcements are coming soon," Lukesaid.Law closed his eyes, his brows furrowed, pondering whether to continue the alliance.Soon after, Luffy was seen flying through the air, shouting as he flew: "Meat, delicious meat!""Luffy-dono!" Law exclaimed.At this moment, Bullet, Rob Lucci, Zephyr, Shiliew, and Guild Tesoro also arrived, standing beside Luke. Redfield also came.Redfield had been rescued from Impel Down by Shiliew, and his time in prison had made him look somewhat haggard.Seeing the lineup beside Luke, Law was a little stunned, as if facing a formidable enemy: "Xiao-dono, are these guys your subordinates?""They are my subordinates, is there something wrong with that?"Law didn't know what to say. These guys were all top-tier powerhouses. Being able to gather them together indirectly reflected Xiao's immense strength. Law felt that Xiao was becoming more and more mysterious.Shiliew, with a cigar in his mouth, watched Doffy fiercely battling Fujitora, a red glint flashing in his eyes: "My blade can't wait any longer!""Calm down, Doffy is Luffy's. You can pick Fujitoraas your opponent," Luke said."That new Admiral, I've been wanting to test his skills!"With that, Shiliew began to gather his strength, then swung his blade, and a red sword energy flew towards Fujitora.Fujitora blocked the red sword energy with his sword: "May I ask who you are?"Shiliew didn't speak, he just sneered and then charged at Fujitora.Doffy was a little confused. How did Shiliew, the former Impel Down head jailer, get here and start fighting Fujitora?Although he didn't understand what was going on, their fight was beneficial to him. When two contend, the third party benefits.At this moment, by chance, the rapidly flying Luffyaccidentally crashed into Doflamingo."Ow, ow, ow! Why are there pink rocks in the sky!" Luffy exclaimed, clutching his head.Doffy's brows furrowed, his veins bulging: "Straw Hat, what are you doing here?"Luffy saw Doffy: "Ah! It's you! You're Doffy! I'm going to beat you up!""Beat me up, why?" Doffy asked."I met Rebecca in the arena and heard about her plight. You caused all of it! And she even gave me a bento! For that bento, I'm going to beat you up too!" Luffy said, righteous and stern.Everyone was a little astonished to hear that Luffy's reason for wanting to beat Doffy was because of a bento."Hehehehe, hahahaha!" Doffy laughed uproariously.Too many things had happened this day, too many absurd and infuriating things. These ignorant rookie pirates kept provoking him, pushing Doffy to his limit."Gum-Gum Jet Pistol!"Luffy immediately activated Gear Two and attacked Doffy.Doffy raised his right leg, covered in Armament Haki, and blocked Luffy's attack."This level of strength is far from enough!" Doffy kicked, sending Luffy flying.Luffy spun several times in the air, then used Moonwalk to fly back again, engaging in a fierce battle with Doflamingo."Xiao-dono, can Luffy succeed?" Law asked."He definitely can, trust him." Luke stood there quietly, watching their battle.On the other side, the battle between Zoro and Pica was also heating up.Pica's rock ability was gradually seen through by Zoro, directly forcing Pica to reveal his true form.Pica wielded a long sword and continuously clashed with Zoro, emitting a high-pitched voice."And you think you can take Straw Hat's head!" Zoroscoffed."Damn it!" Pica transformed his arm into rock, extending it over ten meters, and swung his long sword at Zoro.Zoro dodged the attack, then plunged his sword into the rock and ran towards Pica.Wherever the blade cut, the rock was sliced open like paper.Seeing the situation was not good, Pica drilled back into the rock castle. His body could appear in any part of the rock.Zoro, having figured out his tactics, said coldly: "Hey, you sissy bastard, I forgot to tell you something. The Straw Hat aren't just Straw Hat Luffy and Luke! Remember this: I will one day become the world's greatest swordsman!"
Chapter 314 Luffy vs MingoChapter 314: Luffy VS DoflamingoZoro, with his bandana on and his sword hilt clenched in his teeth, charged Pica at an incredibly high speed."One Great Three Thousand Great Worlds!"A powerful, unparalleled slash cut through the air, severing the giant Pica stone statue's body at the waist.Zoro then leaped into the crack and forced Pica's body into the upper half.Immediately, Zoro slashed upwards again, splitting the giant upper body into two.Then Pica's hand moved again, indicating that his true body had moved to his hand.No matter how Pica moved, Zoro would cut off the body near him, gradually shrinking it, until Pica was forced into a small rock."Do you think you can defeat me by splitting a few rocks? As long as I'm protected by Haki, you can't do anything to me!"With that, Pica's entire body was covered in black Armament Haki.Pica's Haki protection was like CP9's Tekkai back then; anyone who used this full-body Armament Haki technique was undoubtedly defeated."Hmph, the premise is that your Haki must be stronger than mine!" Zoro said."Of course it's stronger than yours! You, a mere nobody, can't possibly defeat me!" Pica said."Do you know what people like you are called? Frogs in a well! I don't have time to waste on someone like you!"Zoro then swung his blade and flew towards Pica's true body: "Nine Mountains Eight Seas, none I cannot sever, Three Thousand Worlds!"A fierce blow defeated the arrogant Pica.Huge chunks of rock fell from the sky, scaring the surrounding citizens into scattering and fleeing."Bullet, don't let the rocks fall to the ground!" Lukesaid."Understood!"Bullet then flew into the air, using his Combine Devil Fruit ability to gather all the scattered rocks in the air.With this, Bullet transformed into a giant rock man."The rock man is back!" Usopp exclaimed."Hahahaha, let me try this Birdcage!"Bullet threw a punch at the Birdcage, and several Birdcage strings snapped in response."Haha, it's nothing special after all!"Bullet then continuously bombarded the Birdcage strings, causing them to break repeatedly.Doflamingo, who was in a fierce battle with Luffy, saw Bullet and was also incredibly shocked; he had encountered this guy during the Marineford Warand was sent flying by one of his punches.Doflamingo's plan now was to not provoke Bulletfor the time being, and deal with Luffy first."Hey, Trebol, use Sugar's ability to turn them all into toys!" Doflamingo shouted downwards.However, Trebol was already Luke's prisoner at this time."It's no use, Doffy, all the executives have been defeated, and Sugar has been captured too," Trebolsaid dejectedly."What!?" Doflamingo couldn't believe it.Doflamingo looked down, and as far as his eyes could see, there were only enemies; his executives were either injured or dead, and he was the only one left fighting.Doflamingo also saw Luke, who showed a subtle smile, as if everything was under his control.But Doflamingo understood that this was not control, but a disparity in strength.Luke had Trebol lead the CP9 members into Doflamingo's palace to scour for all the valuable treasures inside.Luke promised Trebol that if he handed over the treasures, he would spare all members of the Donquixote Family, including Doflamingo.Cornered, Trebol had no choice but to take this path, otherwise, only death awaited him.After Trebol left, Luke took out a yellowed book, titled 'Ocean Codex'.This book itself had no special effects, but it could embed a Devil Fruit, thereby granting it the power of the Devil Fruit.Luke took out the Vampire Devil Fruit and embedded it into the Ocean Codex.The codex began to glow with a blood-red light."Fusion complete, Ocean Codex has fused into Vampire Codex!"With this codex, combined with the Legion Contract...The Legion Contract could hold an item, allowing all members to possess the item's ability.Luke eagerly placed the codex into the Legion Contract."Legion Contract special item embedded, Vampire Devil Fruit ability detected, all Legion members now possess Vampire abilities!"After the codex was placed, a red light flashed in the eyes of all Legion members, and knowledge of vampire skills and techniques appeared in their minds.Shiliew, who was fighting Fujitora, had a flash of inspiration and suddenly transformed into countless bats, dodging Fujitora's fatal blow."What's going on now?" Fujitora didn't understand what had happened."I feel a surge of power in my body!" Bullet said.Suddenly, Bullet roared, and a blood-red aura swept across the ground, covering everything."Bullet detected attacking a Legion ally, Blood-Red Illusion teleportation initiated!"The next second, Bullet was teleported into the Blood-Red Illusion to receive the Devil's Flogging and guidance.When Bullet reappeared, his eyes were extremely tired, and he lay on the ground, unwilling to speak.Now, they just waited for the battle between Luffyand Doflamingo to end, and the farce of Dressrosawould be over.Luke was also a member of the Legion, so he could also use the Legion's characteristics.As Luke's thought moved, a spherical blood-red energy appeared in his hand.He threw this blood-red sphere towards the remaining Birdcage strings not far away, and upon impact, there was a violent explosion.This was a unique vampire skill, Blood Explosion, but using this move required some blood, which Luke didn't particularly like.Overall, the Vampire Devil Fruit's ability was to enhance the strength of Legion members; it didn't significantly boost Luke, and he didn't plan to use vampire skills much.In the sky, Luffy, in Gear Second and Gear Third, was no match for Doflamingo, so he directly activated Gear Fourth, Boundman.Luffy bounced around in the air, looking quite comical.Seeing this, Doflamingo couldn't help but laugh: "Hey, hey, are you trying to be funny? You got so big, and I thought your inflated body was some kind of strategy. Get serious!""This *is* my secret strategy, and I *am* serious!" Luffy said."The elasticity of rubber makes you unable to stand steadily, and you're talking about knocking me flying?""For the past two years, I've been fighting monsters like beasts. To subdue them, this huge body and elasticity are essential!""What good is elasticity?" Doflamingo asked."It'll hit you so hard you won't be able to fight back!"With that, Luffy flew towards Doflamingo at an incredibly high speed and delivered a powerful Gum-Gum King Kong Gun.This mighty blow sent Doflamingo flying from high in the sky, plummeting to the ground like a cannonball, smashing through several buildings on the way.This punch left Doflamingo dizzy and almost knocked him unconscious.The spectators were stunned; Gear Fourth Luffy was incredibly powerful.Doflamingo stood up again, and Luffy had already flown from the sky, delivering a Gum-Gum Rhino Schneider, sending Doflamingo flying once more.Continuous attacks left Doflamingo unable to retaliate."Gum-Gum Snake Man!"A fierce attack once again knocked Doflamingo to the ground.
Chapter 315: Dressrosa's Joy and Fujitora's DecisionChapter 315: The Joyful Dressrosa and Fujitora's DecisionWhile Luffy and Doffy were fiercely fighting, Luketook out another item: the Book of Other Worlds.The effect of this book was to send a designated person to another world. When he achieved something in that world, Luke would gain additional cultivation experience.Luke glanced at Zephyr, feeling that this guy was now weary of life and no longer held any positive hope for this world.So Luke asked Zephyr if he was willing to go to another world.Zephyr didn't know what another world was, but after hearing Luke's description, he found it very interesting and wanted to explore it.Luke naturally fulfilled his wish and used the Book of Other Worlds to send Zephyr to the Beginner Sword and Magic Other World.[World generating...][Sword skills generating...][Magic generating...][Character relationships and missions generating.][Other World creation complete. With Zephyr's permission, Zephyr is about to join the Other World.][Zephyr enters the Other World, his identity being an experienced sailor.][Hint: This is a world of swords and magic. Adventuring or fighting powerful monsters can increase your experience and achievement points.]Zephyr smiled slightly, disappearing from the world of Pirate King and appearing in the world of Beginner Sword and Magic.[Ding-dong! Congratulations to Zephyr for achieving "First Entry into Another World"! Your cultivation experience has increased!]When Zephyr achieved this, Luke felt a strange flow of information enter his mind, enhancing his perception of cultivation and all things in the world.Since that was the case, Luke decided to ask his legion members if they were willing to go to other worlds.After asking around, he found that most of them were willing to go, though it was more out of fear of Luke's deterrent power.Luke's question implied that he wanted them to go to other worlds to cultivate.So they all understood and went to their respective other worlds. In the end, only Kalifa and Ain did not go.Including Bullet, Rob Lucci, Shiliew, Redfield, and Ward, all were sent by Luke to beginner other worlds, making them the protagonists of their respective worlds.For a time, Luke's comprehension ability and physical strength significantly increased, because each of them achieved the "First Entry into Another World" achievement.After sending them off, Luke calmly watched the battle between Luffy and Doffy.Doffy used his Devil Fruit Awakening ability, turning the surrounding buildings into white threads, and Luffy was temporarily in a predicament.Maintaining Gear Fourth required a huge amount of stamina, and Luffy's stamina was not looking good.Their battle lasted for a long time, and finally, Luffyunleashed a Great Ape King Gun, defeating Doffy head-on.The people of Dressrosa cheered joyfully, shouting "Hero Luffy."Luffy, like a deflated ball, fell from the sky and landed beside Luke.Luke gave Luffy a stamina recovery pill. Luffy lay on the ground, looking at the sky, a happy smile on his lips.The battle at the palace finally ended. Most of the buildings were destroyed, resembling a scene after a massive earthquake.The dark clouds in the sky dissipated, the Birdcage disappeared, and Dressrosa was no longer controlled by Joker.Fujitora walked through the town, feeling the lively sounds around him. Although Doffy was defeated, how many people in other places knew the truth of the matter besides here?Fujitora ordered his subordinates to use the visual Den Den Mushi to broadcast to the three neighboring countries of Dressrosa."I am Vice Admiral Maynard of Marineford. This is Dressrosa. I would like to invite everyone to see this footage."Then the screen cut to Dressrosa, where there were ruins everywhere, with damaged buildings and traces of battle."What's with these mountains of rubble?"The people in front of the screens were astonished, unsure what had happened in Dressrosa."What you see before you is the current Dressrosa. More people must know what happened here today, the whole story of what Donquixote Doflamingo, a Shichibukai, caused in this country."Entrusted by Fujitora, Vice Admiral Maynard was responsible for explaining and revealing the truth.On the other side, King Riku also appeared in a part of the ruins. Many people gathered around King Riku, expressing their longing.They eagerly hoped that King Riku could return and once again become the king of Dressrosa. They had had enough of violence and, even if poor, wanted to return to the era without war.The Marines led by Fujitora also came before King Riku.Fujitora said, "Doflamingo's matter can no longer be your responsibility. It was undoubtedly the World Government that, relying on that vicious pirate's Shichibukai system, recognized him as a monarch and brought him here. Citizens, the royal succession."As he spoke, Fujitora actually led a group of Marines to kneel before King Riku."On behalf of the Government, I extend our deepest apologies to everyone!"This scene astonished the surrounding citizens. The always high and mighty World Government would actually adopt such a sincere posture."This..." King Riku was too surprised to speak.This scene was also transmitted via Den Den Mushi to the three neighboring countries, allowing their people to see the situation here."The Admiral, directly under the World Government and with the highest combat power, actually knelt before King Riku and the citizens!""What on earth happened in Dressrosa!?""That pirate alliance actually defeated Doflamingothe Heavenly Yaksha!""Quick, take pictures, write a report immediately. This is unprecedented!"The newspaper reporters became busy, quickly initiating reports and sending them worldwide.The prosperous facade of the powerful Dressrosaand its truth, the downfall of Doflamingo, the world's biggest broker, and the kneeling of Marineford Admiral Fujitora—the truth that had been sealed here was now finally proclaimed to the world.Fujitora's apology was very sincere.King Riku said, "Raise your head, Fujitora."But Fujitora remained unmoved."Fujitora, aren't you afraid of being seen by everyone in the world by doing this?" King Riku asked.Suddenly, King Riku realized something was wrong: "No, could it be that this was your purpose in coming here?"Fujitora silently counted: "Even as the culprit who let the tiger return to the mountains, what face do I have to speak eloquently about justice if I only now draw my sword against the Shichibukai? This country achieved victory through the hands of pirates, as well as warriors and citizens."While Fujitora was broadcasting live, the Straw Hat Crew also reunited.Kin'emon also found his samurai companion, Kanjuro.Usopp happily said, "Luffy defeated Doflamingo! Everything went according to my grand plan!"Kin'emon said, "Mr. Usopp, weren't you injured?"Usopp waved his hand: "Luffy's victory made me feel strength constantly surging out. It's a miraculous power.""What a super victory!" Franky exclaimed.Law sat there. He had personally witnessed Doflamingo's defeat and felt as if he had been reborn. Corazon's memories kept flooding into his mind.Kyros, in his human form, stood among the Tontatta Tribe, giving a tearful speech: "Everyone truly worked hard, the small King Riku Army that resisted Doflamingo!""Yes, Captain!" the Tontatta Tribe members shouted in unison."All missions are complete. We are hereby disbanded from today!""Captain!""Dressrosa has guardian deities, the Tontatta Tribe, who are called fairies. Even though the small King Riku Army is disbanded, we still have much work to do: the work of restoring the beautiful Dressrosa."While Kyros and the Tontatta Tribe were giving their speeches, Fujitora's apology had also concluded. King Riku arranged for his subordinates to begin settling the injured residents and pirates.On the other side, in the Holy Land Mary Geoise on the Red Line, Akainu arrived furiously.Akainu was very angry that the Gorosei had falsely reported Doffy's resignation from the Shichibukai."Why must the world be turned upside down for a mere Doflamingo? If such a thing happens again, what face will I, as Fleet Admiral, have left?"Akainu, as a Marine, was undoubtedly very responsible, but unfortunately, everyone around him were schemers, either slacking off or causing trouble."Don't speak so wildly, Sakazuki.""What is your face worth?""You Marines are merely the outer face of the Government.""This matter will be handled entirely by the World Government's direct secret intelligence agency."Akainu snorted: "The World Government's direct secret agency, you say? Simply put, you've also been ridden over, becoming puppets of the Celestial Dragons!""Watch your mouth, Sakazuki!""What about Kuzan's situation?""Such a strong combat force now chooses to support Blackbeard. What dignity does the military have left to talk about?"Akainu said, "That guy is no longer a Marine. What he does is none of our business!"Just then, a Vice Admiral ran over in a panic: "Gorosei, Fleet Admiral Sakazuki!"Everyone looked at the Vice Admiral in confusion.The Vice Admiral, panting, said, "Report! The Shichibukai Donquixote Doflamingo and his family have been defeated by the Straw Hat and Law's pirate alliance! Dressrosa is already a ruin!"Akainu was shocked to hear this: "What!?"The Gorosei also pretended to be calm."It's that brat again?"The Vice Admiral continued, "There's an even more serious situation."The news of Fujitora apologizing to King Riku had spread worldwide. Those countries that relied on weapons from Joker had no choice but to surrender, and the world consequently saw a significant reduction in wars.At the same time, the events here also reached the ears of other Supernovas.Apoo, Hawkins, and Kid's alliance sat together, discussing the alliance between Straw Hat Luffyand Law.They were glad that their respective goals were different. Their alliance's target was Red HairShanks, while Luffy and Law's alliance's target was Kaido.Akainu was furious when he learned of Fujitora's apology. How could everyone around him not take him seriously as Fleet Admiral, making decisions without reporting anything?Akainu immediately called Fujitora: "You cannot possibly not understand what an Admiral admitting his failure means! Why didn't you report it beforehand!?"Fujitora calmly said, "If I had reported it, the content would have been altered into completely different news, wouldn't it?""Huh!? What did you say!?" Akainu's blood pressure instantly soared.The reason Fujitora did this was because he had once spoken with Smoker. Smoker had mentioned the scene two years ago when Crocodile's true crimes were exposed, and the Marines could do nothing. If not for the Straw Hat, Alabasta would surely have become a pirate nation like the current Dressrosa.However, the Government reported to the world that it was the Marines' achievement. Smokercomplained that if he had a higher position in the Marines at that time, he would have revealed the truth.These words were heard by Fujitora, so this time, Fujitora chose to reveal the truth to the world.Smoker, who was recovering from his injuries, picked up today's newspaper and saw the news from Dressrosa. He sighed, "I didn't expect Fujitorato actually do it. Even if I were in the same position, I probably couldn't do such a thing. It feels so good!"Akainu was very displeased now: "There are countless such things that are secretly eliminated."Fujitora said, "I am unwilling to become a hero through lies. Wasn't it our superiors, the World Government, who recruited the Shichibukai, claiming it was for the balance of the world?""Your arbitrary actions have disgraced justice!""If you're afraid of losing face, then keep it hidden and don't make a spectacle of yourself! What's the difference between a reputation that's lost by admitting failure and one that doesn't exist at all!?"Akainu and Fujitora argued fiercely, Akainu fuming: "Go settle it, Fujitora! Until you get the heads of Straw Hat and Law, none of you are to return to a Marine Base!""My pleasure," Fujitora said.At this time, the Straw Hat Crew and Law had already found a relatively intact house in Dressrosato rest.Everyone was tired after a day of work and were discussing the day's events, sharing their information.As night fell, a figure pushed open the door and entered, throwing a bottle of sake to Zoro.The newcomer was Sabo, Luffy's brother."Sabo!" Robin exclaimed."Do you know him?" Zoro asked confusedly."He's Luffy's brother," Robin said."What!?" Everyone was surprised. Luffy, the protagonist, was currently sound asleep in bed.Sabo smiled slightly, came to the bedside, and sat there, looking at the sleeping Luffy without waking him. He chatted with everyone about his experiences in the Revolutionary Army."I just came to see him before I leave," Sabo said."Are you leaving?" Luke asked."Yes, troublesome guys are coming here. The World Government's direct secret intelligence agency. They were also involved in Doffy's unrest, and they're coming for us. You should also leave as early as possible," Sabo said."It's alright, Sabo. Thank you for telling us," Lukesaid.Sabo scratched his head: "Haha, you're right. With you here, it doesn't seem like a big problem."Everyone was also curious how Luffy suddenly had another brother. Only Luffy, Luke, and Robin knew about Sabo's story.Sabo told everyone about their three brothers' experiences, and only then did everyone understand the whole story.
Chapter 316: The Straw Hat Grand Fleet is EstablishedChapter 316: The Grand Straw Hat Fleet is FormedBefore leaving, Sabo gave Luke his Life Card, telling him to give it to Luffy when he woke up."Luffy is definitely a handful, so I'm counting on all of you."As he said this, everyone couldn't help but recall Ace in Alabasta, who had said similar words at the time.After Sabo left, Kyros also came to converse with the group.Kyros sat there, thanking everyone for their contributions to Dressrosa, and brought a bottle of fine wine to drink with Zoro under the moonlight.Unlike Luffy's group, Nami, Sanji, and Chopper, who were with Caesar, were targeted by one of the Four Emperors, Big Mom.Their current destination was Zou, and they had already embarked on their adventure.On the other side, the alliance formed by Kid, Apoo, and Hawkins went to Kaido's territory and encountered Kaido.Early the next morning, Sengoku, who had already stepped down as Fleet Admiral, and Vice AdmiralTsuru also arrived in Dressrosa; they were mainly there to escort Doflamingo, the Heavenly Yaksha.Sengoku's attire was very casual, and he didn't seem to have any serious intention of capturing pirates; it felt like he was on vacation.Fujitora's decision to use dice to determine whether to apprehend the Straw Hat also made Sengokuchuckle.At noon that day, people gathered in front of the palace, and the arena's announcer, Gatz, was about to make a big announcement."Ladies and gentlemen present, our wish has finally come true today! Today, our King is returning!"The people below cheered loudly."That's right! After ten years, His Majesty King Rikuannounced his re-ascension to the throne today!"People cheered King Riku's name.However, King Riku was a bit anxious, worrying if he could bring happiness to his people. He believed the only thing he could do was to work hard until the day Rebecca inherited the throne.Rebecca was in the palace, dressed in a brand new outfit today, no longer the arena attire; she looked very beautiful. This was how a princess should dress.On the streets, people were working together to repair the damaged buildings. Although the scene was ravaged, everyone had happy smiles on their faces.Fujitora's dice roll had also concluded. If a number other than one appeared, he would decide to arrest the Straw Hat.Ultimately, Fujitora rolled a two, so he decided to still move to apprehend the Straw Hat.At this moment, Luffy was deep in sleep, eating the large fish and meat Kin'emon and Kanjuro had bought from outside.Usopp was stunned: "Luffy is using his eating-while-sleeping skill again!""Sabo left, I'm so sad," Luffy said while eating.As he spoke, he fell asleep, then woke up crying, and continued to eat.Zoro was speechless: "Are you going to be angry, cry, travel, sleep, or eat? Do one thing at a time! Don't make people worry!"Luffy continued to cycle through eating, sleeping, and crying.Everyone talked about Kyros. Kyros didn't want to return to the royal family because he felt he wasn't worthy, given his past record, so he thought it was better this way."Does Rebecca know?" Luke asked.Kyros said, "I wrote a letter; it should have reached her. It recorded my entire life without reservation. Rebecca suffered for so long, and I want her to sever ties with someone like me from now on and live happily in the light. This is the only compensation a father can give her. When you set off, I think I will also leave this country. Rebecca is still a child; I don't want her to miss out on future happiness due to momentary emotions. His Majesty King Riku should also understand."Luffy, however, looked disdainful, feeling there was something wrong with his words, but he didn't express an opinion. From his expression, it was clear Luffy completely disagreed.Just then, Bartolomeo opened the door: "Luffy-senpai, it's great that you've woken up!"To Bartolomeo, the Straw Hat Crew members in the room were like shining golden Buddhas, incredibly dazzling."Six Straw Hat Crew members gathered together, it's too dazzling! It's like radiating a magnificent laser beam! If I could see the Straw Hat Crew all-stars someday, I would melt!"Suddenly, Bartolomeo remembered the main issue: "The Marine has made a move; it's not safe here anymore. Vice Admiral Tsuru and former Fleet Admiral Sengoku have arrived!"Usopp exclaimed: "Why are such big shots coming here? Go back!"On the Marine side, Fujitora gave orders: "All Marineforces, apprehend the Straw Hat, Trafalgar Law, and all the criminals hiding in the palace in one fell swoop!"A large number of Marines rushed towards Dressrosa's palace and the residence of Luffy and the others.The people in the room also heard the voices of the Marines outside, picked up their luggage, and started to run out.As soon as they stepped out, Marines not far away picked up their weapons and shot at the group."Leave it to me! Barrier!"Bartolomeo used a huge barrier to block the bullets.But Luffy felt that things weren't over yet. He listened to Kyros' words and felt he still needed to do something, so he decided to go to the palace.Luffy used Moonwalk to reach the outside of the palace, by Rebecca's window.Rebecca was very happy to see Luffy: "Luffy!"Luffy was out of breath."That's great, I was just about to thank you!" Rebecca said."Enough nonsense, I'm not here to hear your thanks. Are you really okay with it, about the soldier?" Luffysaid."Lucy, I received the letter. Soldier-san is desperately trying to distance himself from me. He wants to draw a clear line. Is it because I said something excessive, or am I being troublesome to him?""How would I know? You think about it yourself. I have to leave here. I'm just asking if you're really okay with this?"Rebecca's eyes welled up with tears: "How could I be okay with it? No, I want to go!""Rebecca, Straw Hat, stop!" Violet rushed over.Without a word, Luffy broke the window and left the palace with Rebecca.Luffy ran wildly with Rebecca until they reached a house in the flower field.Just then, Kyros had packed his luggage and opened the door, preparing to leave.Father and daughter met again, and Kyros was momentarily at a loss."Rebecca!""Don't lie!""Are you talking about the letter? That wasn't a lie. My past self was useless, fighting all day long. Regardless of the reason, it's a fact that I've killed people," Kyros said."I'm not a prince's child! I don't know such a person! Even if your hands are stained with blood, I only have one father. I am Kyros's child!" Rebecca said earnestly.Hearing this, Kyros could no longer hold back. Memories of accompanying Rebecca when he was a toy, and past experiences, flooded his mind, and he couldn't help but burst into tears.Father and daughter embraced in the beautiful flower field."You must stay by my side, Soldier-san! Let's live together, Papa!" Rebecca sobbed in Kyros's arms.Kyros also cried loudly, and Luffy, seeing this scene, showed a relieved smile.Luke, coincidentally, ran into Admiral Fujitora.Fujitora was serious this time, directly using his Gravity-Gravity Fruit ability to lift all the damaged buildings in the city into the sky.In the sky, countless bricks and ruins formed a thick layer of clouds, obscuring the sun."This is too exaggerated!" Usopp exclaimed.Law exclaimed: "Quickly go to the port and set sail!"Fujitora stood in front of everyone.Luke waved his hand and said, "You all go first. Even if we reach the port, I don't think he'll let us go. I'll handle things here.""Xiao-senpai!" Bartolomeo said."Go!" Law said."But Xiao-senpai!" Bartolomeo worried."Don't worry, that guy Xiao won't be defeated here." Zoro kicked Bartolomeo and quickly followed Law to the port.Fujitora closed his eyes: "Xiao, you are the most troublesome guy in the Straw Hat Crew!""Thanks for the compliment. Can you put those stones in the sky down?" Luke said."Sorry."Saying that, Fujitora pointed with one hand, and the giant stones floating in the sky began to move towards the seaside port.Just then, people from the town ran over.Large crowds rushed to the port, cheering and waving goodbye to the Straw Hat, their faces filled with happiness and joy.This way, Fujitora dared not let the stones in the air fall.Fujitora stopped his movements. The overly righteous Straw Hat Luffy, everyone wanted to help them. Fujitora was pondering what Luffy looked like, what color his hair was, what shape his eyes were. He wished his eyes weren't closed. He wanted to see Luffy's face; it must be a gentle face.Luke also put away his long sword and walked past Fujitora: "I'm leaving, Uncle Fujitora. See you again if fate allows."Fujitora smiled slightly and put away his weapon.Just like that, the Straw Hat, along with the people from the arena, all came to the Grand Fleet, aboard the main ship, the Yonta Maria.The enormous hull shocked everyone in the Straw Hat Crew.After boarding, the pirates began to introduce themselves."Straw Hat, I have four Giant mercenary companions. I want to unite the Giant Race with them and revive the Giant Warrior Pirates that once shook the world!"The Giant Warrior Pirates, that was the glorious era of Dorry and Brogy."Our Yonta Maria Grand Fleet is a large fleet of 56 ships in total.""Luffy-land, the Tontatta Tribe chief has already approved! Please allow us to join!" The Tontatta Tribe said."In proper tournaments, I'm undefeated, but in the pirate world, I don't dare call myself champion. Ideo and I have decided to team up and set sail!""Hey, what about us!""And you, remember, I'm a senior! Although I plan to support you, I won't give up my top popularity!" Cavendish of White Horse said.Luffy was very confused at this time, not understanding what those pirates were saying.Captain Orlumbus of the Yonta Maria decided to explain to Luffy."Let me explain. The order is decided by drawing lots. First is the Beautiful Pirates, 75 members, represented by Captain Cavendish of White Horse. Then the Barto Club, 56 members, CaptainBartolomeo the Cannibal. The Happo Navy, 1000 people, 13th generation leader Sai. The XXX Gym Combat Alliance, 4 members, represented by Destruction Cannon Ideo. The Tontatta Corps, 200 members, Warrior Leo, the chief. And currently only 5 members, the future Giant Warrior Pirates, Captain Hajrudin! And me, Orlumbus, Admiral of the Yonta Maria Fleet of 4300 people, the pioneer adventurer!"Bartolomeo stepped forward and knelt before Luffy: "Luffy-senpai, a powerful force totaling 5600 people, please drink a cup of sake of acceptance with us seven representatives!""Acceptance?" Luffy looked puzzled."Yes, you are the boss, and we are the subordinates. Please take us under the banner of the Straw HatPirates!"Hearing this, the Straw Hat Crew was greatly shocked. Kin'emon was also surprised, and Law remained silent.Bartolomeo brought a large bottle of sake and poured a bowl for everyone."So, that's it. From now on, Luffy-senpai is our boss, and we seven are his subordinates!"Luffy looked at the huge sake bowl in front of him and said he didn't like to drink sake."This isn't about the taste of sake. After this incident, you will definitely be targeted by big shots. Even you, Luffy-senpai, will face tough battles. At that time, we will rush to help!" Bartolomeo said.Luffy said, "If I drink this sake, won't I become the Captain of this Grand Fleet?""With these 5600 subordinates, you will proudly join the ranks of the great pirates. Luffy-senpai is destined to become the Pirate King! To conquer the world, this fighting power is still too little," Bartolomeo said.Zoro smiled knowingly: "Forget it, Luffy can't handle this kind of thing. Pour the sake back, I'll drink it!"The pirates were all puzzled as to why Luffy didn't want to drink the sake. No matter how strong the enemy, they couldn't overcome numerical superiority, and these forces would surely be needed someday.Luffy, however, looked disgusted: "Too stifling!"Hearing this, the pirates were all angry.Cavendish said angrily, "I, a celebrity, am willing to join your command!"So the pirates decided to force Luffy to drink."I said I'm going to be the Pirate King! Everyone, if we feel we're in danger, we'll shout for your help, and then you can come to our aid. I don't need to be some boss or great pirate. If you have difficulties, you can call us too. We all fought Doffy together, I won't forget that!"Luffy's words deeply moved the pirates.Bartolomeo finally understood the meaning of Luffy's words: "For Luffy-senpai, the meaning of Pirate King isn't greatness, but freedom!"Hajrudin the Giant smiled slightly: "Let's begin. It's fine if the boss doesn't drink.""Indeed!""Just be yourselves!""You can't block other people's freedom either!"The seven great pirates sat together, holding large sake bowls, facing Luffy."We hereby voluntarily join your command, willing to be the spear and shield of our boss, Luffy-senpai, at any time. We seven, by our own free will, are willing to bet our lives and drink this subordinate's sake!"After saying that, everyone drank it all, and the Straw Hat Grand Fleet was officially formed.
Chapter 317 Bounty ChangeChapter 317: Bounty Update//Japan 2:1 Germany, what the hell, a sci-fi movie for the national football team.//After the Straw Hat Grand Fleet was formed, the essential banquet after every victory began.Everyone sat on the deck of the large ship, drinking heartily, relieving the fatigue of the past period.Luke glanced at Kanjuro; he was sitting upright, calmly eating his food, looking harmless.Law stood at the bow, looking into the distance with a solemn expression."We can't see Dressrosa anymore. You've achieved your goal of defeating Doflamingo, haven't you? What are your plans now?" Robin walked over and asked.Law turned and left: "Don't bother me."Robin smiled slightly as she watched Law's retreating back.After the banquet, the pirate Captains each tore a piece of Luffy's Vivre Card from him. This large Vivre Card was made by Sabo."Well then, farewell!""Until we meet again, my Lord.""Straw Hat Luffy!"Luffy held a piece of meat: "See you all!"After the pirates left, the Straw Hat Crew boarded Bartolomeo's pirate ship, named the Going LuffySenpai.Bartolomeo's pirate ship was designed according to his preferences, incorporating all the elements of his favorite Straw Hat Crew members into the ship.The bow was a giant statue of Luffy, the center of the hull mimicked the bow of the Straw Hat Crew's first pirate ship, the going merry, and the curves of the hull were crafted by a carpenter into the shape of Luffy's rubber arm. At the back of the ship was a giant Chopper wooden statue, and there were also orange trees on board.These abundant sentimental elements moved Franky, the shipwright, to tears."This insane creation, no matter how you look at it, is full of playfulness and super love!""Thank you, Franky-senpai!"Bartolomeo and his crew saluted Franky together. These crew members were also fervent fans of the Straw Hat Crew.This is what you call being a fan, and a successful one at that.Their fervent devotion shook Franky's perverted heart.They even placed an exquisite wooden carving in the center of the ship, on which Luffy's Vivre Card was placed, covered by a layer of glass. With this Vivre Card, they could definitely find Luffy by following its direction."A warm welcome to all senpais on board! I am eternally grateful!""Boss, it's too dazzling, I can't see your face!""Second that, second that!"This group of fervent fans also amused Luffy.Law remained calm: "Bartolomeo, let's head to Zou first.""Huh!? Who are you talking to?" Bartolomeo said with a look of disdain."Please." Zoro said."Yes, leave it to me! Brothers, full speed ahead to Zou!"This clear difference in treatment made Law's face flush with embarrassment.Sanji and Nami, along with the others, were heading to Zou on the Thousand Sunny. It was unknown if they had arrived yet.Luke picked up the newspaper, reading today's news, and then saw that everyone's bounties had changed."Our bounties have increased." Luke said."Really!?" Luffy's eyes lit up.Bartolomeo said: "You don't know yet? I have wanted posters in my room. Everyone, please come and see!"His subordinates laid out a red carpet on the path to the room, and then the juniors lined both sides of the red carpet, welcoming them.Then Bartolomeo approached Law and whispered: "I threw yours away. It's increased to 500 million Berries.""Hmm, thanks for telling me. Bounties don't matter." Law said indifferently, and Bartolomeo made a face at him.Then everyone went into the room and saw the wanted posters plastered on the wall. Not only were they illuminated, but they were also framed, making them look like nomination awards.Luke was amused by Bartolomeo. He patted Bartolomeo's shoulder: "You've done well, kid."Hearing Luke's praise, Bartolomeo was deeply moved: "We will continue to work hard, Xiao-senpai!"Then Bartolomeo stood in front of the bounties and began to introduce everyone's bounties."First, starting with Luffy-senpai, a bounty of 600 million Berries!""600 million! That's awesome!" Luffy cheered happily."Next is Xiao-senpai, with the astonishing highest bounty of 1.15 billion Berries!""Uh..." Seeing this bounty, Luke was also shocked. It had increased too much."1.15 billion Berries!" Usopp exclaimed.Luffy's face was full of dissatisfaction: "Why is it so high!"Zoro also frowned: "This is much higher than mine."Zoro's bounty was only 320 million Berries.Bartolomeo smiled mysteriously: "This goes back to Xiao-senpai's rampage in Mary Geoise and his might as the Thunder Law King during the Marineford War. This bounty is perfectly normal!"Robin said: "I wouldn't even dare to imagine this bounty."Luffy, feeling depressed, drew circles on the ground: "I want 1.1 billion Berries too.""Don't be discouraged, Luffy, you can do it." Usoppencouraged him from the side.Luffy suddenly stood up and raised his arms, shouting: "Let's go to Mary Geoise right now!"Usopp directly smacked Luffy on the head: "Are you crazy!? Our next destination is Zou, Zou Island!"Robin smiled slightly: "Nami and the others are still waiting for us."Luffy was very depressed. This was the first time someone had a higher bounty than him since he became Captain. He was sad, and it wasn't false that he was jealous.Luffy's "jealous" expression was clearly visible on his face, pouting and his eyes shifting left and right."Hey, Luffy, your expression is too obvious!" Usoppcomplained."Hahahaha!" Luke laughed heartily, then started dancing on the spot.Having a higher bounty than Luffy, he felt inexplicably great."Luffy, keep it up!" Luke gave Luffy a thumbs-up and winked."Next time I'll surpass you! I'm going to cause a ruckus in Mary Geoise!" Luffy raised both arms.Law exclaimed in surprise: "Straw Hat-ya, are you crazy!?"At this moment, Luffy was solely focused on surpassing Luke's bounty. His fighting spirit was high but had nowhere to be unleashed, so he could only sit on the spot and do push-ups.Next, Bartolomeo introduced the bounties of the others.Pirate Hunter Zoro, 320 million Berries. Demon Child Robin, 130 million Berries."Oh, it increased." Robin said."Iron Man Franky-senpai, 94 million Berries!"Franky felt a bit regretful: "It almost reached 100 million. And the photo is still General Franky!""Usopp-senpai, 80 million Berries!"Usopp's bounty didn't reach 200 million Berries this time, and Luke was largely responsible because he didn't follow the plot, so the famous scene of God Usopp didn't appear, which was quite a pity."That's good, that's good. But why is my full face in the photo? I'm going to be targeted!" Usoppexclaimed.Black Leg Sanji, a bounty of 170 million Berries.This time, Sanji's portrait was finally normal, but it was a leering photo that looked inappropriate.Zoro mocked Sanji's wanted poster portrait, finding it uninteresting and preferring the previous hand-drawn one which was funnier.Cat Burglar Nami, 66 million Berries. Cotton Candy Lover Chopper, 100 Berries. Soul King Brook, 83 million Berries."Except for the extremely dangerous individuals related to this incident, everyone else's bounty increased by 50 million Berries. The highest increase belongs to Thunder Law King Xiao-senpai!"But this time, the most peculiar thing was Sanji's wanted poster. It was different from everyone else's.Sanji's wanted poster read, "Only Alive."After all, he is Vinsmoke Sanji, the ruler of North Blue, and has close ties with the World Government. This is also a foreshadowing for later events.Usopp said: "After all, it's Sanji. He's held grudges because of women. Maybe someone wants to capture him and attack him.""Definitely." Franky nodded.Everyone laughed, thinking it was true. Luke also laughed along, but he was happy that his bounty had exceeded 1 billion Berries.One should know that Katakuri's bounty was only 1.057 billion Berries, which shows how much of a threat Luke now posed to the World Government.Next, the ship headed towards Zou Island to rendezvous with Nami and the others.Luke also took out the treasures he had plundered from Doflamingo's castle for appraisal."Xiao-senpai, are you going to appraise them?" Bartolomeo rubbed his hands and stood beside Luke, his eyes shining."What do you want, kid?""Xiao-senpai, the great Appraiser, please appraise something for me too!""Please appraise something for us too!"Bartolomeo led his subordinates to kneel before Luke. With this posture, it felt rude not to appraise."Alright, each of you bring me one item with the most collection value, and I'll help you appraise it." Luke agreed to their request.After cheering, Bartolomeo's crew immediately returned to their rooms to retrieve what they considered to be valuable collectibles."Xiao-senpai, I will protect you!"Bartolomeo spread a barrier around Luke."We will be your guards." His subordinates held weapons, their backs to Luke, forming a circle, their eyes fierce as they looked around, fearing that someone might come to disturb Luke's appraisal.Luke frowned: "What are you doing? Disperse, disperse.""Understood, Xiao-senpai!"Bartolomeo immediately retracted the barrier, and the others quietly sat there, watching Luke appraise with rapt attention.First to be appraised was Bartolomeo's nose ring.Bartolomeo said this was a very precious item to him, and he trusted Luke's appraisal.Luke touched the nose ring on Bartolomeo's nose, feeling a bit emotional. This guy truly believed in him. What would this guy's reaction be if he appraised it as a spicy nose ring, or a scorching nose ring, or a spiked nose ring?"Are you sure? Just this nose ring?"Bartolomeo nodded seriously: "Xiao-senpai, please appraise it without hesitation!""Alright."Luke coughed twice. He wasn't sure if the appraisal would be good or bad; everything was up to fate.Luke stroked the nose ring, and a golden light flashed.[Appraisal successful. Bartolomeo's cherished nose ring has been appraised as a giant storage space nose ring, capable of freely storing and retrieving non-biological items.]Not bad, it's not a negative item."The appraisal is complete." Luke said."Xiao-senpai, what's the effect?" Bartolomeo asked eagerly."Storage. You can freely store and retrieve non-biological items. You can try putting an item in." Lukesaid.Upon hearing this, Bartolomeo immediately tried it. He held a long sword in his hand and thought of putting it into the nose ring. The next second, the long sword in his hand disappeared.Then, with a thought, a long sword reappeared."This... this is simply a miracle!""This is a miracle!" Bartolomeo's crew exclaimed along."This is great, Xiao-senpai! With your appraisal, I'll never have to worry about not being able to fit all the plunder, ah, no, the purchased supplies anymore!" Bartolomeo cried tears of joy."Alright, others, bring your items over."Next, Luke appraised items for others. The appraised items had both positive and negative effects, and all were quite good.One long sword was appraised by Luke to be a controllable flying sword, a sword that could be freely controlled by thought. This made Bartolomeo envious.It was a pity that the sword was of average quality. If it were of good quality, it would definitely be a top-tier weapon, capable of creating a legend of sword-riding in the pirate world.Then there was a pirate's photo, which Lukeappraised as a photo that could directly connect with family. This made that pirate extremely excited.He hugged the photo and chatted with his wife and children, tears streaming down his face."By the way, Xiao-senpai, can you appraise this!" Bartolomeo pointed to the figurehead of the ship, the large wooden sculpture of Luffy.To be honest, Luke had never appraised an item of this size before. He certainly couldn't have appraised such a large item in the past, but with the upgraded skill, it should be no problem. He could give it a try."I'll try."Luke came to the bow, and under everyone's expectant gaze, he began to appraise the Luffydummy statue at the figurehead, which was also the symbol of the Going Luffy Senpai.Luke stroked the Luffy dummy statue, took a deep breath, and began the appraisal.Indeed, the size met the standard, and it could be appraised.A golden light flashed, and the appraisal was complete.[Appraisal successful. Luffy's dummy statue has been appraised as Luffy Dummy Soul, possessing automatic enemy repulsion function, and comes with three skills: Gomu Gomu no Rocket, Gomu Gomu no Gatling, and Gomu Gomu no Balloon.]Whoa, Luke was surprised. It could even appraise a defensive tower. This was too outrageous."I saw a golden light, the appraisal was successful." Usopp said."Xiao, what effect was appraised?" Zoro asked.Luke explained the appraised effect to everyone, and now everyone was no longer calm.The Straw Hat Crew was fine; Luke always surprised people.But for Bartolomeo and his crew, it was simply a miracle. They looked at Luke with eyes as if he were a god.Bartolomeo immediately knelt on the ground: "To have Luffy-senpai's soul remain on this ship, we are truly honored! With Luffy-senpai's will, we will not fear any enemy!""Ah! Xiao, why did you put my soul there!?" Luffyexclaimed in shock.Luke held down the jumping Luffy: "Calm down, calm down. That's just a name, not your soul. Your soul is still within your body.""Then why does it have my skills?" Luffy exclaimed.Luke spread his hands: "This should be imitation. You are the original, so don't mind such small things."Luffy pouted and frowned, looking at the Luffydummy figurehead in front of him. Suddenly, he threw a punch at the figurehead.However, before his fist could even touch the dummy, the dummy retaliated with a Gomu Gomu no Rocket, sending Luffy flying."Luffy-senpai!" Bartolomeo exclaimed.
Chapter 318 Dreamy Zou IslandChapter 318: The Phantom Zou IslandWe sailed for a week on the Going Luffy Senpai.One day, the ship arrived in a dense fog, a sea area where nothing could be seen.Bartolomeo and his pirate crew were all seasick, suffering from it every day.Grandma said that chewing gum could cure seasickness, so the ship was full of gum."Boss, it looks like there's something at two o'clock. In the dense fog, I don't know if it's a monster or a mountain," a crew member in the crow's nest said."How can there be something that can be confused with a monster and a mountain?!" Bartolomeo exclaimed."But it's been moving slowly since just now," the scout said.Following the direction he pointed, everyone looked and saw a shadow the size of a giant mountain standing on the sea, moving slowly."Isn't that an elephant?!" Luffy exclaimed.Everyone was astonished to see such a colossal creature.Law said, "Yes, Zou is the name of the land on the back of this giant elephant. It's always moving; it's a phantom island with no fixed location. Since it's not land, it can't be reached by a Log Pose. This is my first time seeing it. Its back is facing us, which means Black Leg and the others should have already arrived."Robin said, "We've been following this elephant all along.""Yes, get ready to land," Law said."Hey, I heard that Zou Island dislikes outsiders," Kanjuro said."Hmm, they are the Mink Tribe. They don't let outsiders near. It's rumored this country has a history of a thousand years," Law said.Surviving on the elephant's back for a thousand years indicates that the elephant itself is also a thousand years old.Looking from the side, the Elephant Lord's eyes were deep, like an abyss, and its eyes could not be clearly seen.The ship immediately headed towards the Elephant Lord. Upon reaching the Elephant Lord's leg, they saw the Thousand Sunny moored there. The Thousand Sunny had been continuously moving with the Elephant Lord, with no crew members on board."Great, they've indeed arrived at Zou Island," Robinsaid."There are no obvious external injuries on the ship either," Franky said.Everyone returned to the Thousand Sunny and moved a large amount of food. Next, it was time to say goodbye to Bartolomeo."Although I really want to follow you and meet the Straw Hat All-Stars, I can't disrupt your adventure. Our happiness index has already exploded. I look forward to the day we are fortunate enough to meet again," Bartolomeo said, crying profusely.Next, everyone prepared to board the Elephant Lord.Kanjuro picked up a brush and began drawing on the deck, sketching a coiled dragon that looked more like a worm."It's still a snake, after all," Usopp said.Kanjuro began to cast his spell: "Appear, Ascending Dragon!"Following Kanjuro's command, the drawing on the deck transformed into a moving pink Ascending Dragon. It didn't look much like a dragon and even made strange noises from its mouth."Dragon~~~ Dragon~~~ Dragon~~~" the pig-nosed snake-dragon said weakly, sounding as if it was about to breathe its last."Why does it feel like a pitiful creature came out?" Usopp grumbled.Kanjuro began to command the weak dragon, making it connect the ship to the Elephant Lord's leg."Alright, everyone, grab onto the dragon's back and climb up," Kanjuro said.In the end, only Luffy was willing to go with this dragon. This dragon couldn't fly at all; it crawled slowly like a worm.The others, along with Luke, rode the Somersault Cloud, ascending rapidly.Luffy looked at the sky: "Hey, you guys, slow down! That's cheating, cheating!"Kanjuro was greatly astonished looking at the Somersault Cloud: "Such a peculiar item exists."Luffy said, "Ah! This dragon is too slow, I'm going to ride the Somersault Cloud!"Luffy used Moonwalk to reach the Somersault Cloud, leaving only Kanjuro to slowly climb up on the dragon."Hey, I want to ride that Somersault Cloud too!" Kanjuro exclaimed.However, at this moment, the Somersault Cloudhad already disappeared. Luke vaguely heard Kanjuro's voice but ignored him.In just a few minutes, everyone reached the elephant's back.It was dusk, and standing there, one could see a beautiful sunset.Looking out from the elephant's back, one could see forests and ancient ruins.Not far away was a wall resembling a dilapidated castle, with watchtowers but no guards. If this was the defense of a country, it seemed very loose.Luke lightly leaped onto a towering watchtower. Standing there, he could take in the entire view of the elephant's back."Too cunning, Xiao! I want to go up too!" Luffy said."Me too!" Usopp also climbed up.There were many stone structures here, covered in moss. In the very center, there was a tall tree that looked like a large whale. In front of the tree was a massive complex of buildings, which was the general topography of Zou Island.There were forests, rivers, and also towns. These towns were much larger than imagined.Luffy leaped down and quickly ran forward."Did you see the curly brows?" Zoro asked.Luke said, "Are you stupid, Zoro? How could you see Sanji?""Nani!?" Zoro's veins bulged. He flashed into the air and slashed at the watchtower with his sword.Luke chuckled, stepping on the Somersault Cloudand flying forward: "Bye-bye, Marimo Head, I'm one step ahead.""Ah, help!" The watchtower was cut down. Usoppwas stunned, about to fall, but Robin caught him steadily.After being rescued, Usopp was furious, glaring at Zoro's head with his nose and saying fiercely, "Why am I the one who suffers from your two people's conflict?"Zoro sheathed his sword: "Blame Xiao.""Idiot, next time just cut Xiao! I was still up there!" Usopp continued to grumble."If I could cut him, I would have already," Zoro said.This statement left Usopp speechless: "That's not wrong, but don't hurt friendly forces!"Everyone bickered as they walked forward.Luke stepped on the Somersault Cloud, advancing leisurely. Looking down, he saw ancient jungles and dilapidated stone paths, with giant footprints on the path.The trees on both sides of the path were broken, which must have been the work of Jack.This Jack is an Elephant-Elephant Fruit, Ancient Zoan, Mammoth form. He is said to be the strongest tank among the Three Calamities, but in reality, he is the type of character who talks the most, works the most, and takes the heaviest beatings.Soon, Luke caught up with Luffy, who was running ahead. Luffy was running happily and soon arrived at the town.The town was now in ruins, and not a single person could be seen at a glance."Hey, Sanji, Nami, Chopper, Brook! Hey, anyone answer!" Luffy shouted as he ran.Only the desolate wind responded to Luffy. Lukecould even smell gunpowder and gas.Suddenly, Luke heard sounds of fighting behind him.Turning back, he saw Zoro and the others fighting against Carrot of the Mink Tribe."Wait, stop, Carrot!" Wanda of the Mink Tribeappeared, riding a giant alligator, and stopped Carrot's reckless behavior.Looking closely, Wanda's clothes were identical to Nami's. It was clear she was wearing Nami's clothes.Wanda said, "Leave this here for now, there are intruders in the Whale Forest!""Someone invaded the Whale Forest?" Carrot asked, puzzled."Hmm, it might anger the Musketeer Squad," Wanda said.The intruder Wanda spoke of was undoubtedly Luffy. He was running very happily and had already crossed into the Whale Forest.Wanda then pointed the way for the Straw Hat and then headed towards the Whale Forest.Zoro looked up and shouted to Luke, "Hey, watch that guy Luffy, don't let anything happen to him!"Zoro, that guy, truly cared about Luffy at all times.Luke made an OK gesture and then quickly flew towards the Whale Forest.Soon, he arrived at Luffy's battle location. At this time, Luffy was fighting a large buffalo.The fighting style with Buffalo Roddy was very peculiar. Luffy didn't use his hands or feet but clashed heads with the buffalo.The two kept head-butting each other. If it were a normal person, their head would be shattered."Stop, don't fight, he's an acquaintance of mine!"At this moment, Law's crew member, Bepo, ran out of the forest. He was also a Mink Tribe member and had already arrived at Zou Island.They wanted to stop them, but the great buffalo Roddy and Luffy were already in the thick of battle and couldn't stop.In the end, a gorilla named B & B stopped Roddy.Next, Wanda and Carrot also arrived at the scene."You are Straw Hat Luffy, right? I am Wanda, and this is Carrot. We won't do anything to you, and you don't need to resist," Wanda said."Why is this country full of incredible guys like Chopper? Do you know me?" Luffy said."Of course.""What's wrong with those guys? They suddenly attacked me even though I didn't do anything," Luffysaid, pointing at the great buffalo Roddy."You ran into the forbidden forest. That's only natural. It's the mission of the Musketeer Squad to clear out anyone who invades this forest," Wanda said.Wanda suddenly looked up and spoke to a shadow not far away: "Musketeer Squad, I'll take them away now, let him go."Luke glanced at the shadow. It was Pekoms, the leader of the Musketeer Squad. This guy was very good.Pekoms turned and said coldly, "For your sake, let them go, Roddy.""Everyone retreat!" Pekoms waved his hand.Suddenly, a large number of Mink Tribe members flew out from the surroundings, then followed Pekoms away. They were all members of the Musketeer Squad."Straw Hat, and Xiao!"Bepo pointed at Luke in the air, his eyes filled with astonishment.Luke hadn't seen Bepo in a long time. He remembered the last time was at Sabaody Archipelago.Luke jumped down from the air. Bepo and the others reacted very strongly, all retreating dozens of steps.Luke was a little astonished: "What's wrong?"It wasn't that Luke had something on him, but rather that Bepo had a trauma regarding Luke. Back at Sabaody Archipelago, Luke attracted Kizaru, then Akainu, and then Aokiji. The destructive scene was still fresh in Bepo's memory, and he once thought he was going to be thrown into prison."Don't come over here!" Bepo exclaimed.Luke was also very confused. Was his image really that terrifying?Luffy, on the other hand, burst out laughing: "This guy is so funny, why is he afraid of you?"Luke shrugged, indicating that he also couldn't quite understand.This country, named the Mokomo Dukedom, had a history of several centuries and was a scene of happiness until half a month ago.Carrot introduced the place to everyone. She clenched her fist: "The culprit who destroyed this country is named Jack."As soon as she said this, the ground began to tremble, and a fire shower was about to fall.The so-called fire shower was actually the Elephant Lord spraying water from its trunk into the sky, and then a large amount of seawater scattered over the elephant's back.The giant elephant trunk could spray a large amount of seawater at once. In just a moment, the previous forest became a vast river.Luke followed Wanda and Carrot, riding on the back of their alligator mount, heading towards a safe place."The fire shower, to be precise, isn't rain. It happens twice a day; the Elephant Lord needs to be showered," Wanda said.Looking at the town ahead, to withstand this large amount of seawater, the town had an excellent drainage system. Through filter devices, it formed water flow, which then became city water, and could also generate productivity through waterwheels.Fish and seawater would fall together, so there was no need to worry about food.Carrot leaned on Luke's back and said, "This forest is guarded by Nekomamushi."Carrot seemed to have a good impression of Luke, which might stem from Luke's inherent charisma and appearance.Luke also found this rabbit a bit cute and fluffy.Riding the alligator through this town, looking at the broken walls and ruins, Wanda recalled the previous tragedy, and her eyes welled up.After leaving the water flow, they arrived at a land where the alligator mount began to walk on its four long legs, transforming into something resembling a hippopotamus.According to Wanda, after Jack ravaged this country, he went to attack the four warships escorting Doflamingo. Although he sank two ships, he was still defeated.After a short sprint by the alligator, everyone finally arrived at the stronghold. Zoro and Law also caught up.Ahead was the gate of the stronghold, with two guards on either side, a lion-man and a horse-man, holding weapons."Wanda, who are they?" the horse-man asked with a serious expression."They mean no harm. Open the gate and inform everyone that the Straw Hat has arrived," Wanda said.Hearing "Straw Hat," the two guards were a little surprised: "They are…"Wanda said, "They are all distinguished guests! Quickly entertain our benefactors' companions!"Everyone followed Wanda. As soon as they entered the stronghold, they heard enthusiastic cheers."Garuchu!""Garuchu!"A large number of Mink Tribe members cheered enthusiastically inside the stronghold."Straw Hat, welcome! Garuchu!"Some stood on the ground, some stood in the trees. Most of their houses were built on thick tree trunks, resembling pineapple-shaped dwellings."What a lively sight. Garuchu!" Luffy said with a laugh.Zoro asked, puzzled, "Aren't you a race that dislikes humans?"Wanda smiled slightly: "Perhaps those who don't know the Mink Tribe might be afraid, but to us, you are merely Mink Tribe members with sparse body hair, also a type of Mink Tribe."Stopped🔊 Browser
Chapter 319: The Fur Tribe Strikes BackChapter 319: The Mink Tribe's CounterattackTwo figures ran over from not far away: Nami and Chopper."That's great, you're all okay!" Usopp shouted excitedly.The Mink Tribe seemed very fond of Nami, cuddling close to her, so much so that Nami almost couldn't get away.Nami's dress was a bit revealing, with high slits that went all the way up to her armpits."It's great to see you all," Luffy said happily."Haha!" Chopper happily ran over and hugged Usopp.Suddenly, Nami pounced on Luffy and whispered something in his ear.Luffy, who had been happy, suddenly looked serious."I'm sorry, Sanji, he was captured," Nami said, tears streaming down her face.Hearing this, the others weren't too worried; it was just that he had been captured.At this point, the Mink Tribe suggested holding a welcome banquet, and Luffy, being oblivious, cheered, "Let's have a banquet!""Hey, Luffy, are you even listening to me?!" A dark line appeared on Nami's forehead.The welcome banquet began as usual. The Mink Tribe served delicious fruit and fish, as well as Zoro's favorite alcohol. Everyone happily ate and drank.The alcohol here was called "Monkey Wine," brewed from the most abundant fruits in the forest, a proud vintage of the Mink Tribe.Luke took a sip; the taste was very refreshing, sweet with a hint of spiciness.However, these Mink Tribe members were truly clingy, preferring to rub against people. This was their way of showing friendliness, but Luke didn't particularly like it."Get away!" Luke pushed away the four Mink Tribemembers who were rubbing against him."Let us Karoo you!" a Mink Tribe member said."Let me lick you!" another Mink Tribe member said."Are you kidding me!" Luke firmly refused to let them get close."Hey Xiao, don't get angry. They're treating us so well with delicious food and drinks. It's rude of you to act like this," Luffy said while eating meat. If it weren't for reading his lips, it would be hard to understand what he was saying."It's affecting my eating and drinking!" Lukeexclaimed.Zoro was the same, with a rather short temper. The group of Mink Tribe members kept rubbing against him, and he couldn't get his drink to his mouth for a long time."There are some cultural differences, please forgive us," Wanda said.Luke took a bite of meat; it was especially delicious.Carrot introduced, "This is crocodile meat, this is hippopotamus, lizard, and also frog. We don't eat furry animals."Usopp asked, "Why are you treating us so warmly?""That's because you are the benefactors' companions," Carrot said."Benefactors? What exactly happened before?" Usopp grew even more curious.Just then, Brook rushed into the room, his clothes tattered.Seeing Brook again, everyone was also happy."What happened? Why are you in such a mess?" Luffy asked.Brook said, "I'm very sorry about Sanji. I feel ashamed to face you, though I don't have a face to begin with."Brook gathered everyone and whispered, "In this country, try to avoid words like'samurai' and 'Wano Country.' If possible, don't say them at all. Actually, this country..."Before Brook could finish, the door opened, and a group of wolf-like Mink Tribe members entered.These Mink Tribe members were all canines, and Brook was a skeleton, so when these canines saw Brook, they were like they had been injected with an energizer."We found you, Baron Bones!" This group of thirsty canine Mink Tribe members surrounded Brook, and Brook's face instantly turned green.Even Wanda drooled, exclaiming, "To think such a charming race exists!"Wanda was a female canine Mink Tribe member, so bones were also very attractive to her.This group of canine Mink Tribe members swarmed Brook, surrounding him and each taking a bite. Brook struggled constantly but to no avail, because these guys weren't biting hard; it was simply their love for bones."He's very popular," Robin said."Do as you please," Zoro shook his head.Everyone continued to eat and drink.Law did not attend this welcome banquet; he went into the forest to reunite with his crew."I say, what are we going to do about Sanji?" Namiasked."There will always be a way," Zoro said."It shouldn't be a big problem," Luke said.Luffy thought for a moment: "He wasn't really captured."Nami immediately flared up: "It's not as simple as you're making it sound! It's very serious!""I'm sorry, we had no choice at the time," Choppersaid, his eyes welling up.Franky said, "We're a bit confused about what happened right now; just understanding what you're saying is difficult."Usopp said, "The last time we contacted you was when you encountered Big Mom's ship, and then you came to Zou, and the city was destroyed. We thought the Mink Tribe were enemies, but they welcomed us so warmly and said we were companions of benefactors."Robin said, "Can you start from the beginning, Nami? What happened in the 11 days after you left Dressrosa?"Nami then began to recount what happened after they encountered Big Mom's ship near Dressrosa.They encountered Big Mom Pirates' giant singing ship there. On board were combatants Pekoms, Baron Tamago, and one of the Worst Generation, Capone 'Gang' Bege. They decided to destroy the Thousand Sunny and take Caesar.Their target was Caesar, but Caesar was terrified of being taken. Faced with such enemies, doing nothing would only be a matter of time before they were wiped out, so everyone began to fight back. Nami used her powerful magical abilities to successfully lead everyone to escape.This wave made everyone applaud Nami, and Namiblushed a little from the praise.Then, the next day, they arrived at Zou, because the giant elephant happened to be moving nearby. That was 10 days ago.The city was destroyed two weeks ago. Ten days ago, the country was already largely ruined, and it was due to Nami and her group's arrival and Chopper's exquisite medical skills that this country was saved.At this point, before she could finish speaking, a Mink Tribe member came to report that Duke Inuarashi had woken up.Hearing this, the Mink Tribe members all seemed very happy. Chopper immediately picked up his medical bag and went to check on Duke Inuarashi's current injuries. Goat Doctor and Squirrel Nurse followed closely behind Chopper, learning medical skills.The guards also conveyed that Duke Inuarashiwished to meet everyone.Duke Inuarashi is the duke of the Mokomo Dukedom and also the king of this country. He had been unconscious since the city was destroyed.This country has two kings: Duke Inuarashi of the Day, and Boss Nekomamushi of the Night. Zou is guarded by these two kings.Leaving the room, they followed Wanda to Duke Inuarashi's room. It was already night.The night scenery on this road was charming, with glowing fruits hanging along the path, illuminating the night.As they walked, Luffy disappeared. He jumped out the window, saw a giant bunch of grapes, and immediately stuck a straw in to drink."Come quickly, it's so sweet!" Luffy drank heartily."Come back! Are you still drinking? We just ate!" Usopp was speechless.Luffy, full from drinking, rejoined the group and continued onward.Along the way, Wanda recounted what had happened two weeks ago, or more precisely, 17 days ago.That day, the bells of the Mokomo Dukedom rang again, but it was the alarm bell for an enemy attack that should not have sounded. This unusual disturbance made the giant elephant roar in anger.Jack the Drought, transformed into a mammoth, invaded the place. They were searching for a Wano Country native named Raizo.The Mink Tribe members fought back bravely, but they were subjected to a relentless assault by Jackthe Drought's crew.No matter how Jack questioned them, everyone's answer was consistent: they did not know of this person's existence.So Jack decided to search the entire country. The so-called search was no different from destruction.For a time, the Mink Tribe fought against them until they deployed the Gifters army, who were all Devil Fruit users who had eaten artificial animal Devil Fruits. The Mink Tribe suffered heavy losses.As she finished speaking, everyone arrived at Duke Inuarashi's door.The guard at the door was Sicilian, captain of the Musketeer Squad.Sicilian had just punched a subordinate: "Do not speak of gentle, love, romance, children, Sugar, honey, or any other words that cannot withstand the vicissitudes of reality in front of me!"Seeing the Straw Hat arrive, Sicilian immediately leaped into the air, then dramatically knelt before everyone: "Thank you for extending your helping hand and saving this country. This kindness will never be forgotten!"Sicilian's appearance was somewhat astonishing.Wanda said, "Lord Sicilian always gives his all in whatever he does.""He's just an overly passionate lion," Luffy said.Nami gently punched Luffy."The Duke is waiting for you all, come in quickly, don't dawdle!" Sicilian waved his hand, opening the door.Everyone entered the room. Duke Inuarashi was drinking water inside, while Chopper, Goat, and Squirrel were examining Duke Inuarashi's injuries.Duke Inuarashi was a large canine, with bandages wrapped around his head and small sunglasses, looking very dignified."Duke, it's wonderful that you're alright!" Wanda said excitedly."Wanda, I made you worry," Inuarashi then put down his water glass."You must be the Straw Hat. You've helped us quite a bit, front and back. Thank you very much."Luffy said, "I hear my companions helped, but I haven't asked for the details yet. By the way, old man, you're strong!" Luffy said.Wanda exclaimed, "That's very rude to say! Lord Inuarashi is the country's strongest warrior!"Duke Inuarashi gave a wry smile: "Hey, don't say that. Is that how you describe a loser?""What loser? Although the enemy was formidable, we had the upper hand then!" Wanda said.Just as she said this, they noticed something was off with Inuarashi; he kept staring at Brook.Then Inuarashi drooled. As a canine, he wanted to take a bite out of Brook."He looks like such a delicious benefactor," Inuarashisighed, but he held back.Seeing Luffy's Straw Hat, Inuarashi felt a bit emotional: "I once sailed with that cat, too. Shanks, who is now one of the Four Emperors, wears a Straw Hat just like yours.""You know Shanks, old man? How do you know him?" Luffy was very happy to hear about Shanks.But then, Duke Inuarashi immediately lay down and fell asleep in seconds."He fell asleep!" Luffy exclaimed.Wanda said, "It's already 6 PM.""Only 6 PM? Is he a child?" Usopp said.The Mokomo Dukedom has always been governed by two kings. They have a very bad relationship and will fight whenever they meet. Both are equally matched.To avoid meeting, they live separately, dividing their time into two periods: 6 AM to 6 PM.The battle with Jack before was also like this.Duke Inuarashi led his subordinates to fight Jack's pirate crew continuously during the day. At night, Boss Nekomamushi appeared, leading the Guardian to continue fighting them.Although the Mink Tribe attacked in shifts day and night, Jack's pirate crew also had members constantly pouring in from the sea. The enemies were like an endless army of zombies.However, both kings were also very powerful. Jackcould not defeat them by himself and gradually became agitated and lost patience.On the fifth day, Jack brought out a vicious weapon: poison gas.The true culprit behind the destruction of this country was the gas poison manufactured by Caesar, which engulfed the entire city and half of the forest, completely sealing off the Mink Tribe's movements.Then Jack led his pirate crew, while harming the Mink Tribe, also destroying the country. It was an unbearable memory for all Mink Tribe members, with cries of sorrow everywhere.The strong ones and the kings were tied to pillars and tortured, being asked about Raizo's whereabouts.By the sixth day, perhaps feeling that enough destruction had been done, or perhaps tired of the same answers, Jack left, leaving behind dozens of subordinates.The day Jack left was the same day Doflamingo was defeated. Jack left this country to save Doflamingo, which means that everyone indirectly helped the Mink Tribe."We are alive now precisely because of your help," Wanda said."Don't say that," Nami said.Then Chopper and his group arrived, which was the day after Jack left.Then, using Caesar's ability, they transformed him into a hydrogen balloon-like shape and quickly flew into the sky. Although Caesar was extremely resistant, he had no choice; not only could he not defeat Sanji, but Sanji also held Caesar's heart.After arriving here, Nami and the others defeated the dozens of people left behind by Jack's pirate crew and also saw the devastation in the city and the gas poison lingering in the air.Then Sanji and Chopper forced Caesar to use his ability to neutralize the gas poison here, and everyone began to race against time to rescue the Mink Tribe members.With Chopper's rescue, the Mink Tribe began to recover. Brook also played beautiful music for the people, helping them gradually recover from their sorrow.Therefore, the Mink Tribe would never forget this kindness, which is also why they had such a good impression of the Straw Hat Crew."That guy Jack really makes me angry! One day I'll beat him and Kaido up together!" Luffy said, clenching his fists.Chopper said, "Ah, it's already night. It's time to go to Boss Nekomamushi of the Night and the Whale Forest to treat them."Wanda, as the King's Bird, followed the King day and night, being the only one to travel between the two Kings.Led by Wanda, everyone headed towards Nekomamushi's territory.
