Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Because the duck makes a crackling sound when it discharges electricity, Luffy had a brilliant idea and named it Billy.

Billy was very grateful to Luffy for saving his life, so he agreed to join the crew temporarily.

Zoro, on the other hand, originally planned to disembark and stretch his legs, but then quite naturally got lost.

After slaying countless monsters, they finally discovered a village.

When he entered the village, he found the people there to be very strange.

They had no wings on their backs, only white feathers growing behind their arms, and all of them were very thin, their faces etched with exhaustion and pain.

"Where is this place? Why are all these people like this?"

Zoro frowned, his mind filled with doubt.

Just then, he unexpectedly encountered Usopp and Chopper, who were there treating the villagers.

It turns out that Chopper and Usopp were being chased by a giant tiger and ended up on a lower island instead of a high one.

He fell into the rushing water, but was fortunately rescued by nearby residents.

Then my gaze was drawn to the white feathers on the villagers' arms.

"Zoro, what are you doing here?"

Usopp asked in surprise.

"That's what I wanted to ask you too!"

Zoro said irritably.

"What are you doing here? Where's Luffy?"

Just as they were asking each other about the situation, Sanji and Nami arrived at the scene.

"You guys are here!"

Usopp breathed a sigh of relief and said.

However, Sanji's expression suddenly changed, and he spoke to Usopp in a serious tone.

"Did you notice, Usopp? There are no young girls here."

"Oh? Really?!"

Usopp then realized what was happening and looked around.

As expected of Sanji, who trained for two years on the island of transvestites.

His sense for young girls is incredibly sharp; he's probably one of the most perceptive in the world of One Piece.

After making some inquiries, they finally learned that the ruler of this island was none other than the legendary pirate, Shiki the Golden Lion.

He is developing a secret drug, and to make a drug, you need a factory.

The people on the island with white feathers on their arms became the Golden Lion's free labor force.

This is why there are no young girls in the village; all the men and women of marriageable age are forced to work in Shiki's palace and factories.

Only the elderly, the weak, and the disabled remained in the village.

Meanwhile, Brooke and Robin encountered an army of army ants on the stone bridge, each capable of devouring a large fish in an instant.

These army ants swarmed in densely, like a black tide, sending chills down one's spine.

Brooke said excitedly, completely unaware of the approaching danger.

However, the army ants seemed uninterested in Brook, the skeleton, and charged straight at Robin.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are you all ignoring me?!"

Brooke said with a hurt expression.

"unacceptable!"

To protect Robin, Brook picked up the sword from his cane.

With a flash, he instantly slaughtered the army ants that were charging towards Robin.

Because of this incident, Robin unexpectedly discovered the reason for the beast's rampage.

It turns out that it was a magical plant, only recorded in books, that was causing the trouble.

This plant can promote animal evolution, causing animals to grow in a direction that enhances their fighting ability.

Some animals may even possess more special powers.

……

Chapter 113 An incurable disease, the reappearance of the Scythe-Scythe Fruit user!

Everyone in the village was at a loss about their current predicament when news finally came of Luffy, who had disappeared.

Yes, Luffy is lying down again.

Billy was carrying the unconscious Luffy on his back, followed by a little girl, and they were walking unsteadily toward the village.

This startled everyone, and they all crowded around.

"What's wrong with this guy now?"

Nami asked anxiously, her face full of worry.

Billy, panting, put Luffy down and called out helplessly, "Billy, Billy!"

Then Chopper began to provide simultaneous interpretation.

"I don't know either, he suddenly said he was hungry on the way."

"Then I don't know where he picked a bunch of fruit, and stuffed them all down in one bite, and that's how this happened."

"What? He's eating random things again!"

Nami stomped her feet in anger, and the lightning on her body crackled and sparked.

If Luffy hadn't already lost consciousness, he probably would have gotten two more punches from him.

"That idiot Luffy, can't he use his brain?!"

"Come with me, let's take him to my house first, maybe we can find a way."

Then the little girl, Xiao Ou, squeezed in.

Guided by Xiao, Billy continued to carry Luffy on his back, and together with the others, they arrived at her house.

In order to save Luffy, Chopper immediately took action.

"The antidote will be found within ten steps!"

Then Chopper said with a wise expression.

Upon hearing this, Usopp and Sanji immediately went to collect the surrounding plants together.

As for Zoro, he disappeared without a trace at some point.

I wonder where he's gone and gotten "lost" again.

With his extensive medical knowledge, Chopper quickly found some plants that could be used as temporary treatments.

He carefully mixed the plants together to make a potion, and then tested it on Luffy.

"Hopefully this will work."

Chopper watched Luffy's unconscious state with concern and fed him the medicine.

Then, a miracle happened, and Luffy quickly became energetic again.

He jumped up from the ground in an instant.

"Hahaha! I'm alive again! I'm so hungry!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, but Nami couldn't help giving Luffy a flick on the forehead.

"You idiot, you're not allowed to eat weird things anymore!"

"Smimasai, I know, I know!"

Luffy rubbed his head and said with a grin.

However, when Chopper used the potion on the villagers, a different situation arose.

The medicine could only slow down the villagers' illness, but it could not cure them.

Chopper then realized that he had mistakenly compared Luffy's special physique to that of an ordinary person.

Soon, Brook and Robin, who had been communicating through Den Den Mushi, also arrived in the village.

They also brought samples of the IP address, hoping to find the key to solving the problem.

However, an even more serious problem was discovered.

The poisoning of the villagers was not from the IP itself, but from the toxic fumes emitted by the factory.

This toxic gas not only polluted the air but also the village's water source, causing long-term poisoning among the villagers.

"To develop a new antidote, we must enter the laboratory in the Golden Lion Palace."

Chopper said, frowning.

In order to save the villagers as quickly as possible, Nami made a quick decision not to wait for the rest of them.

"I'm going to take the navigator exam for the Golden Lion organization. Maybe that will give me a chance to enter the palace."

Nami said firmly.

"Luffy, you guys just blend in with the pirate crew and be ready to come to my rescue at any time."

Luffy and the others nodded in agreement.

After Nami and the others left, Chopper remembered the doctor inside the Saint Cloth.

Perhaps he can use the power of his inner universe to save the villagers.

Chopper quickly entered a meditative state and contacted him, explaining the situation.

"I'm sorry, I can't help you, and I don't want you to use this method."

"To cure an illness, you must address the root cause. Even if you heal the villagers this time with your inner power, what about next time?"
