Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

……

The Golden Lion arc is complete.

Chapter 121 Punk Hazard Island, a land of ice and fire, where the kidnapped children are saved!

The Straw Hat Pirates' Thousand Sunny continued to sail smoothly across the turbulent sea.

Life at sea is so boring; every day is just endless seawater.

It's like playing music on repeat; it's so boring it drives you crazy.

Franky couldn't hold back any longer and, with a wave of his hand, activated the Sonny's autopilot function.

"Hey guys, we can't let this damn life get any more boring, let's find some fun!"

Then Zoro shouted at the top of his lungs.

The Straw Hat crew was incredibly excited when they heard this.

Then, they all went into the modified "Mental Time Room" to start exercising.

Van Nistelrooy, who was watching the game under the orange tree, was stunned.

If the Spiritual Time Training Room on the old Going Merry was a cheat, then the newly renovated Spiritual Time Room is a Wind Spirit Moon Shadow Sect.

The space inside is now much larger, and various exercise facilities have been carefully prepared.

After going in, their strength increased dramatically.

Fanny looked at these guys, and although he appeared disdainful on the surface, he was secretly wondering about it.

With their current strength, there's no point in them entering this mental time chamber. They'll just get crushed by me when they come out anyway.

Then, when the Straw Hat crew members came out of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber, Fanny was in trouble.

They were brutally ganged up on by the now much stronger group of sixth brothers.

Fanny was beaten black and blue, and felt incredibly aggrieved.

As expected, the protagonist is the protagonist.

Just as Fanny was on the verge of tears, the first island of the new world finally appeared before them.

Everyone stared at the island, their eyes wide with amazement.

The island looked like a magical world, a world of ice and fire, with raging flames on one side and snow-covered peaks on the other.

The powerful visual impact completely stunned everyone.

Wow, this island is so cool!

Luffy was so excited that he danced around, his eyes sparkling.

But just as everyone was still immersed in the shocking scene, the Den Den Mushi on the ship suddenly emitted a sharp distress signal.

The sound of crying was like a loudspeaker, particularly jarring on the quiet ship.

"There is a situation!"

Nami said, frowning.

Without the slightest hesitation, the group immediately headed towards the island.

Yes, this island is the gateway to the new world, Punk Hazard.

Luffy and his crew never imagined that this trip would be the beginning of an unprecedented large-scale battle.

Meanwhile, Smoker, having received a notification from Fanny Den Den Mushi, also quickly launched an operation with his marines.

"Hmph, this is going to be a good show. This time I'm going to make them pay!"

Smoker, with a cigar in his mouth, said with a serious expression.

When he learned from Fanny that the incident involved human trafficking, his expression became very serious.

The cigar in my mouth suddenly lost its flavor.

"This is no small matter; it must be resolved as soon as possible!"

……

Fanny, Luffy, Zoro, and the others successfully crossed the sea of ​​fire using the cloud bridge created by Nami, and finally set foot on Punk Hazard Island.

They had barely stepped ashore and hadn't even had a chance to catch their breath when they heard a deafening roar.

A legendary dragon suddenly appeared before them, breathing fire and its sharp teeth gleaming coldly in the firelight.

It rampaged wildly, leaving a trail of destruction in its wake, with overwhelming destructive power.

This forced Luffy and Zoro to be on high alert, and they were forced into a fierce battle.

"What the hell is this!"

Luffy shouted as he dodged the dragon's attacks.

"Whatever it is, let's just beat it up first!"

Zoro brandished his three swords and charged at the dragon.

Just as they were locked in a fierce battle with the dragon, the dragon suddenly spoke, which startled Luffy and his crew.

Just as Luffy was about to knock the dragon down from the sky, he suddenly discovered that there was a person stuck upside down on the dragon's back.

"What's happening here?"

Luffy said with a puzzled look.

After a great deal of effort, they finally rescued the person from the dragon's body.

They were all greatly shocked when they saw the man's strange appearance.

It turned out that the person only had their lower body left; their upper body was nowhere to be found.

However, judging from the clothing on his lower body and those two hairy legs, he should be a samurai.

Luffy used the principle of using the enemy's spear against the enemy's shield, causing the dragon to bite off his own wing.

With Usopp's help, Zoro severed the dragon's head with a single strike.

Van Nistel recognized the situation immediately.

This guy must have run into that man who's up for revenge, the next Shichibukai, Trafalgar Law!

What was this samurai's name again? It's been so long, I can't quite remember.

Just then, they discovered that the opposite bank of the burning land was actually a snowy, frigid land.

"This island is so strange, with fire on one side and snow on the other."

Usopp said, trembling.

As they walked, preparing to cross the lake and head towards the icy lands, they unexpectedly encountered a group of people on the way.

The leader was a centaur with the hind legs of a leopard.

The man had a fierce look in his eyes and spoke as soon as he saw Luffy and the others.

"You despicable invaders, how dare you come here! Today is your death day!"

It turned out that this person was someone who had come to hunt down the intruders.

The one speaking was Tea Beard, who was originally a pirate.

When he saw Luffy with the samurai's lower body attached to his back, he felt he had met a kindred spirit!

He immediately became Luffy's companion, and the two even played a racing game.

As for what kind of pursuit?

Is having companions important?!

……

On the other hand, Sanji and the others who remained on the Thousand Sunny were not so lucky.

They were hit by a series of gas releases and, before they could react, were poisoned and fell unconscious.

He was then abducted by unknown individuals and locked in an unbelievable room.

When Sanji and the others woke up, they found themselves in an unfamiliar room, surrounded by an eerie atmosphere.

They looked around, and suddenly, the sight before them made their eyes widen in disbelief.

"What exactly is going on?"

Sanji said angrily.

Yes, before them lay the shattered head of a samurai!

It took a lot of effort to assemble it.

At the same time, after hearing about the headless samurai's unexpected experience, Sanji and the others decided to escape from their cell together.

They carefully searched for an exit, but unexpectedly, they were discovered by the enemy during their escape.

The enemy was in hot pursuit, and Sanji and his crew, in their panic, stumbled into a room by mistake.

The moment they opened the door, the sight before them made them gasp in shock.

It turned out that the room was filled with all sorts of strange experimental equipment.

There were also some huge children locked in cages, their eyes filled with fear.

It turns out that this room hides the terrible truth about the island.

This is a laboratory that creates artificial Devil Fruits, and they're even openly using children as test subjects!

"These guys are absolutely despicable!"

Sanji was so angry he gritted his teeth.

The best course of action now is to take these children and leave this troublesome place as soon as possible.

Smoker received a Den Den Mushi notification from Fanny and prepared to go pick up the children.

Trafalgar Law, who appeared unexpectedly, blocked Smoker's path.

The two refused to back down, and the atmosphere instantly became tense, on the verge of exploding.
