Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

All the crew members were waiting for the captain's return aboard the Thousand Sunny.

As they waited, they chatted and reminisced about the past.

However, keeping Hancock's advice in mind, Luffy, who was deliberately keeping a low profile, unexpectedly got caught up in a sudden battle.

In an attempt to capture the imposter Straw Hat Pirates, the Navy, led by Sentomaru and his Pacifistas, surprisingly made an appearance.

Sentomaru, who had fought against Luffy and his crew before, immediately saw through the imposter Straw Hat Pirates' identity.

However, he also keenly sensed that the real Straw Hat Luffy was among these pirates.

The fake Luffy wanted to show off, but ended up making a huge mistake.

He was slammed to the ground by Sentomaru's axe.

As it turns out, Luffy's strength is now vastly different from what it used to be.

He easily defeated Sentomaru and the large-scale pacifist figure.

He then used his Conqueror's Haki to knock these rabble unconscious.

This can be considered as giving Sentomaru and the Navy an explanation.

After a long two years, the Straw Hat Pirates finally reunited on the Thousand Sunny.

As expected, Fanny, the Straw Hat Pirates' instructor, had been waiting on the Thousand Sunny for a long time.

According to his description, he managed to brush past everyone without being noticed.

Then, they soon realized they had been tricked.

It turned out that everyone had noticed Fanny.

A waiter at a tavern, a cotton candy vendor, a concert emcee, a fisherman by the sea, and even the Marine next to Sentomaru...

Fanny's disguise was impeccable, but among the Straw Hat crew members, it was full of flaws.

Of course, Luffy recognized Fanny because he could recognize Fanny even when he was reduced to ashes.

However, the joy of the reunion did not last long.

They then prepared to set sail for their next destination—the underwater paradise, Fishman Island.

Just as they were about to set off, naval pursuers blocked their path.

Fortunately, Perona, Rayleigh, Big Bird, Hancock, Hercules, and others who had helped everyone on various islands before all lent a helping hand.

Perona used her ghostly abilities to disrupt the Navy's operations.

Rayleigh stood imposingly at the port, blocking Kizaru's path.

The large bird circled in the sky, providing support to everyone.

Hancock, on the other hand, used her charm to bewitch and petrify the naval soldiers.

Hercules, wielding his plant weapons, engaged in a fierce battle with the navy...

Thanks to everyone's combined efforts, the Straw Hat Pirates finally managed to shake off the Navy's pursuit.

It disappeared into the sea and headed towards Fishman Island.

And so, the Straw Hat Crew's adventure in the New World begins.

……

Chapter 103 Arrival at Fishman Island, Goodbye Cammy!

The Straw Hat crew finally embarked on their journey to the New World.

This time, they had quite a few people following them around.

There are at least three groups of various CP agents alone.

There are also some unknown organizations that are keeping a close eye on the Straw Hat Pirates' every move.

Fortunately, the navy did not follow this time.

The reason is so funny that it makes people burst into laughter.

The navy is currently embroiled in a bloody infighting, a scene probably more intense than the frenzy of middle-aged women fighting over discounted vegetables at the market.

Although the World Government and the Five Elders cannot remove Sengoku from his position as Fleet Admiral anytime soon.

But they wouldn't give up so easily.

Like that anonymous world policeman, they feel uncomfortable if they don't dig deep and investigate.

So the World Government, under the pretext of suppressing the New World, came up with a new scheme.

A new marshal position was added, and the G1 branch was expanded.

The full title of this new position is "Marshal of the Navy in the New World", or simply "New Marshal".

That wasn't all; they also began a global recruitment drive, adding two new admirals to the latter half of the Grand Line.

Yes, these two generals are "Fujitora" Issho and "Green Bull" Aramaki.

Actually, both of them were originally soldiers.

Fujitora was originally a retired lieutenant general from the army, but he has now been recalled.

I wonder what he's thinking, whether he feels like he's "going back to his old ways".

And the identity of "Green Bull" Araki is even more surprising.

He was actually the son-in-law of a collateral branch of the Celestial Dragons; that's quite a complicated relationship.

It's unclear whether he became a general through his abilities or because of his connections.

As the Straw Hat crew headed towards Fishman Island, the incredible underwater scenery seemed to possess a magical power.

It quickly attracted everyone's attention.

Even Fanny couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature.

Everyone stared wide-eyed, their faces filled with amazement, as if they had opened the door to a new world.

Okay, they're at the gates of the new world.

The Straw Hat crew watched and chatted, and eventually their conversation turned to the Thousand Sunny.

When talking about the Sunny, one cannot help but mention the Flying Fish Knights and Big Bear.

Then, Franky got excited.

In the past two years, he has done a lot of research on bear figurines.

They even secretly stole a pacifist to conduct research.

He cleared his throat and began to tell everyone about Bartholomew Bear, like a storyteller.

It turns out that Bartholomew Kuma, the mastermind who sent them to different islands, was also one of the people who helped them protect the Thousand Sunny.

In the past two years, although he has been transformed into a human weapon, he seems to have lost his original memories.

Yet he remained a loyal guardian, carrying out his past orders and silently awaiting the arrival of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Upon hearing this, Fanny couldn't help but sigh deeply, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

Everyone has their own ambitions, and Bartholomew Bear has done all he could.

He was like someone walking in the rain, and because he had been rained on, he wanted to hold an umbrella for all those oppressed by the Celestial Dragons.

He made far too many contributions to the cause of human liberation.

Fortunately, his daughter Bonnie was by his side in the final moments of his life.

This can be considered a form of comfort.

Just as everyone was immersed in reminiscing about the past, the Straw Hat Pirates were suddenly attacked by the Caribou brothers on their way to Fishman Island.

The moment these two appeared, their comical appearance made them look like they had stepped right off a comedy stage—pure comedic characters.

However, Caribou's Swamp Fruit is quite useful.

It looks a bit dirty when you use it, which makes you frown.

Anyway, Nami, Robin, and Sanji all stayed far away.

As for his younger brother, he's even more of an idiot than Luffy was two years ago. Fanny just couldn't believe his eyes.

This guy, because of hair loss, actually kept a lizard on his head; this is simply unbelievable.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he was doing some kind of performance art.

When faced with truly heinous individuals, Fanny felt that letting them die would be a relief.

What's even more ridiculous is that they don't know where they got their confidence from, daring to rob the Straw Hat crew without even knowing how to use Haki.

Isn't this like a mantis trying to stop a cart, an ant trying to shake a tree, an egg trying to break a rock, or a toad crawling on your foot?

After two years of intensive training, the Straw Hat Pirates are now much stronger than before.

While it wouldn't be accurate to say they were cheating, they were all direct disciples of the Maple Forest Moon Shadow Sect.

Compared to them, Karibu was like a little Karami compared to a great witch.

Usopp remained calm, drew his bow, and with a "whoosh," shot an arrow that blew their ship apart.

Seeing that things were going badly, Caribou tried to use the power of the Swamp-Swamp Fruit to hide and escape.

But with his level of intelligence, he doesn't even know what Observation Haki is.

Before he could react, Usopp had pinned him to the wooden board.

After hearing about his past misdeeds, Luffy and the others felt that throwing him into the sea was too lenient.

So, following the way pirates punish their enemies, they tied Caribou to the bow of the ship.

Then continue heading deeper into the seabed.

The group continued on their journey and arrived at a huge waterfall in the sea, where a column of water flowed downwards.

However, they never expected that this place would be inhabited by a huge monster that blocked the way of many sailors.

There's also a giant sea monster with a full beard, Kurakun.

Kurakan, a legendary giant sea monster, possesses a terrifying and imposing form that blends the characteristics of an octopus and a squid.
