Douluo: I can upgrade my luck by traveling through One Piece.

"Learning Haki?"

"I don't need anyone to teach me."

There was a hint of mischief in Ma Xiaotao's voice, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, like petals blown by the spring breeze, light and warm.

At this time, Kuya was standing nearby, his brows slightly furrowed, looking a little confused.

As a pure female warrior, her inner world is simple and direct, and fighting and victory are her only pursuits.

She could not understand the light in Ma Xiaotao's eyes, nor could she feel the warmth and complexity in it.

She only knew that the girl in front of her had extraordinary strength and potential, while she herself was a warrior who only knew how to fight.

"let's go."

Sandasonia broke the delicate atmosphere.

Afterwards, the four of them walked all the way to the palace of Nine Snake Island.

As they moved forward, the surrounding scenery gradually became charming.

The palace of Nine Snake Island is located in the huge and majestic snake statue on the island, like a shining pearl inlaid in the embrace of nature.

The statue is surrounded by various exotic plants, colorful and full of vitality, as if telling them the mystery and legend of this island.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but stop, feeling a lot of emotions in his heart.

In Huo Yuhao's eyes, the palace of Nine Snake Island seemed a bit rough and even a little simple compared to the magnificent palaces he had seen before.

The exterior of the palace is not overly decorated, but it is located in a huge statue, and the surrounding forest surrounds it like a gentle embrace.

Compared with the palaces that Huo Yuhao had seen before, the palace of Nine Snake Island was not luxurious, and was even a bit rough.

But it sits among the statues and blends in with the surrounding forest, creating a unique harmonious beauty.

The sunlight shines through the gaps in the leaves, and mottled light and shadows dance on the ground, as if composing a moving piece of music for the palace.

"There is a strange beauty here. It would be even more beautiful if water could be brought in from above to splash down."

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but sigh, with a hint of admiration in his voice.

As he said, now the combination of just statues and forests is a bit monotonous.

It would look better if there was a source of water that could spray out from the snake's head, and it wouldn't have to be too far away to cover the forest surrounding the palace.

Moreover, the trees around here are a bit monotonous, all of them are as big as before, with snake-like vines entwined around them.

If there was a towering tree in the palace like in many strange worlds, Huo Yuhao couldn't even imagine how beautiful it would be.

Walking through the palace gate, led by Sandasonia, the group was not stopped by the guards and soon arrived at the center of the palace.

That is, in the snake's kiss of the giant snake statue.

Here, Hancock was leaning on the throne looking at Huo Yuhao and the others, with an old lady sitting next to her.

This old lady should be the previous queen of Nine Snake Island, Zha Po Po, in the original novel.

Huo Yuhao thought to himself.

The previous queen was naturally Xia Qi, who opened an information store in the Sabaody Archipelago.

As soon as she came over, Hancock walked in front of Huo Yuhao.

"Just talk, why are you getting so close?"

Seeing this, Ma Xiaotao reacted immediately and quickly stood between Hancock and Huo Yuhao.

Her heart beat faster and a blush appeared on her face. Even though she was a woman, she could feel the amazing charm emanating from Hancock.

Hancock looked at Ma Xiaotao, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, then she turned her head and glanced at Nami beside her, as if she understood something.

"Haha, you guys...are really funny."

Seeing that the atmosphere on the field was becoming increasingly tense, Huo Yuhao took a deep breath and separated Ma Xiaotao and Hancock.

"We are short on time and have a heavy task to accomplish. Let's get down to business now."

His words were like a breeze, trying to dispel the depressing atmosphere.

As Huo Yuhao finished speaking, Hancock and Ma Xiaotao both snorted coldly and slightly distanced themselves from each other.

....................................

Three days later, the sun shone through the clouds, casting golden light, and the sea surface was sparkling, as if inlaid with countless shining gems.

Huo Yuhao stood on the deck of the warship.

His eyes were fixed on the front. The Chabaotier Archipelago that he was about to arrive at was like a beautiful painting. The waves gently lapping against the shore, bringing bursts of fresh sea breeze, which was refreshing.

However, following behind the warship was a pirate ship flying the flag of the Nine Snakes Pirates, with its sails hoisted high in the wind, as if announcing its presence.

Huo Yuhao's thoughts reverberated through the past few days, his meeting with Hancock still fresh in his mind.

Just as Huo Yuhao was immersed in his thoughts, he heard bursts of cheers.

He turned his head and saw a pirate ship following closely behind him, with its sails hoisted high and the flag of the Nine Snakes Pirates flying on it.

That is the symbol of the Nine Snakes Pirate Group's status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

Putting on the armor, Hancock went with hundreds of Amazon female warriors who had activated their martial spirit power.

This is also one of the agreements reached between Hancock and Huo Yuhao.

Huo Yuhao gave all the Amazon female warriors the power of martial spirit, and they fought for Huo Yuhao.

Although these female warriors currently only have soul power of level 10, in time, with their strong physique, they will definitely become a force that cannot be ignored.

"Yuhao, why don't you put on your cloak? I'll be sad if you catch a cold."

On this slightly shaking deck, Huo Yuhao was gazing at the Sabaody Archipelago in the distance, his heart full of anticipation.

However, his thoughts were interrupted by a crisp voice. Turning around, he was shocked to find Hancock walking lightly onto the deck, holding one of her own cloaks in her hand.

"What the hell, I've never heard of a Soul Emperor catching a cold!"

Huo Yuhao smiled and said jokingly, but he did not reject Hancock's kindness.

Hancock's eyes were as clear as autumn water, revealing a hint of mischief and tenderness. She gently approached Huo Yuhao, ready to put the cloak on him.

At this moment, Ma Xiaotao suddenly appeared in front of them with a sly smile on her face and stopped Hancock's actions.

"Haha, I told you I won't catch a cold."

Ma Xiaotao's voice was light and playful, as if she was teasing the subtlety of this emotion.

Hancock sneered, a trace of disdain flashed in her eyes, but then she turned to Huo Yuhao, and a hint of jealousy appeared in her eyes.

At that moment, Hancock's heart beat faster and a blush appeared on her face involuntarily.

"Look at this tomboy. Unlike me, I only feel sorry for Yuhao~"

Hancock's sweet voice echoed in his ears, as if gently plucking at Huo Yuhao's heartstrings.

During the three-day journey, the awakened power of Hancock's Sweet-Sweet Fruit continued to connect with Huo Yuhao's soul, as if the fate of the two was closely intertwined.

What's even more outrageous is that after accepting the power of the martial soul, Hancock actually gained the ability to perform martial soul fusion techniques with Huo Yuhao.

The awakening of this martial soul fusion skill made their relationship even closer.

Huo Yuhao stood at the bow of the boat. The breeze was blowing gently, and the waves were hitting the hull, making bursts of low sounds.

This is a new journey they are about to embark on, and it is also an important moment in Huo Yuhao’s plan.

Huo Yuhao couldn't help but recall what had happened before.

"Okay, we're about to land on the island, and we won't have so much time to play later." His words seemed to remind himself and his companions.

At this time, Nami and Ma Xiaotao's expressions also became serious.

At this moment, a burst of hurried footsteps was heard at the port, and Huo Yuhao's attention was instantly attracted over.

He saw a group of people in naval uniforms walking towards them. It was Zhang Lexuan and her companions.

Zhang Lexuan's figure looked particularly dazzling in the sun, her long hair fluttered gently in the sea breeze, and her face was filled with a confident smile.

Huo Yuhao was delighted, and Zhang Lexuan's arrival made him feel excited.

Long before, they had split into two groups. Zhang Lexuan took Ling Luochen and Ace back to the Sabaody Archipelago, while he, Nami, and Ma Xiaotao came together with Hou Han Cook.

Huo Yuhao jumped off the deck, the sunlight shone on his body through the clouds, and the sea breeze blew gently, bringing a hint of salty smell.

However, the scene before him made him frown slightly. Zhang Lexuan's face was full of worry, and there was a hint of uneasiness in his eyes.

"What's wrong, Senior Sister? You don't look very well."

Huo Yuhao tried to ease her mood with a teasing tone.

She sighed slightly, as if she had a thousand words to say but couldn't find the words to say.

At this moment, Huo Yuhao finally understood the truth of the matter.

His heart sank, the Four Emperors - Red-Haired Shanks.

As the top force on the sea, the appearance of Shanks means the danger they face.

"You met Shanks?"

Huo Yuhao's voice was low, and he secretly felt uneasy for Zhang Lexuan and her companions.

"Yes."

Zhang Lexuan finally spoke, with a hint of helplessness in her voice.

"Their target is Luffy. They don't take us seriously at all."

"Damn it, Luffy, that brat, I'm going to catch him back someday!"

Ace's voice was as loud as thunder, filled with strong anger and anxiety.

His fists were clenched.

"I'm afraid it's not that easy."

Huo Yuhao shook his head, a hint of heaviness in his tone.

"Luffy has wanted to go to sea for a long time. He has been ready for it."

"It may not be so easy to bring him back this time."

As he spoke, Huo Yuhao cast his gaze towards the endless sea. The sparkling surface of the sea seemed to be telling the story of Luffy's adventure.

As the male protagonist in the original work, Luffy could not change his dream even in the navy.

If you say you want to be the Pirate King, then you want to be the Pirate King.

Even though he was treated as an outcast by his classmates in the elite training camp, and even though he was beaten countless times by Garp and Zephyr, it did not change his decision.

It can be said that the only time his thoughts were slightly shaken was when he killed the pirate Zephyr and took him and Ace to see the miserable plight of the civilians.

It was also because of that incident that Ace's thoughts were shaken and he eventually joined Huo Yuhao.

But Luffy's decision remained unchanged.

Or rather, his thoughts wavered a little.

That is to change from being a simple Pirate King to a Pirate King who has to restrain all pirates from causing trouble.

Ace's eyes ignited with flames, as if even the air was ignited by his anger.

His hands clenched into fists, and flames danced around him, making a low roar, like a beast about to be released from a cage.

His expression was full of determination and resoluteness.

"Then I'll beat him up and tie him back!"

He spoke loudly, his voice echoing in the sea breeze with a fearless momentum.

Huo Yuhao stood aside. He knew Ace’s strength and determination, but he was even more aware that the current situation did not support Ace doing so.

Since Luffy is going on an adventure, he will most likely set sail from the East China Sea.

"Okay, okay, but the most important thing we should do now is to continue to complete the plan."

At this time, their warships slowly approached the shore, and the huge hull made a dull sound under the beating of the waves, as if warning of the upcoming battle.

As the warship docked, a group of marines quickly disembarked and began to move the golden lion trapped by the ice.

The ice cubes flashed coldly under the sunlight, as if mocking the golden lion's incompetence and despair.

He understood that the Golden Lion was not a simple opponent. His existence symbolized the remnants and corruption of the old times. However, at this moment, he was like a trapped beast with nowhere to escape.

"Now everyone stay here and rest for a day. I will go to report the battle situation to Marshal Zhan Guo."

Huo Yuhao's words were particularly clear in the sea breeze.

Everyone acted quickly, and their busy figures intertwined in the sunlight, like a vivid painting.

It is different from the execution during the Battle of Marineford in the original novel.

There may not be anyone to rescue remnants of the old era like Golden Lion, after all, all his men were captured this time.

As for the good friends you make?
Sorry, that’s not necessarily the case.

Even if they had, they would not be able to rescue their opponents from Huo Yuhao.

You know, Shrek Academy has already stationed two Super Douluo and three Titled Douluo here.

In addition to Huo Yuhao and others, Hancock also participated.

With high-end forces like them, even the Four Emperors Pirate Group can stand a chance.

The only thing is that the strength in the middle is a little lacking.

But it doesn't hurt.

Because this plan is to be a weekly duty, what they lack the most is backbone forces.

Huo Yuhao believed that the bargaining chips he proposed were something that Fishman Island could not refuse.

"toot toot"

After three rings, the Den Den Mushi was connected.

The sky blue snail head instantly turned into the shape of an old man with a goatee.

"What's wrong, Yuhao, it seems your vacation time is not over yet?"

Sengoku asked strangely.

“It’s not over yet, but it’s almost there.”

"The most important thing is that I have captured the golden lion this time."

Huo Yuhao said this, but to his surprise, Warring States on the other end of the Den Den Mushi was surprisingly calm.

But what he didn't know was that although Zhan Guo's heart seemed calm, in fact it was far less calm than it appeared. (End of this chapter)
