Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Van Nistel shook his head helplessly at Karp's appearance, but he did not give up.

He knew Garp's potential and believed that as long as Garp studied diligently, he would definitely be able to master the power of the Cosmo.

Perhaps the Monkey family truly possesses unique talents, or perhaps Garp inadvertently grasped something.

In the short time following lunch, Garp actually reached the level of the seventh sense, "Manas".

Fanny was both surprised and delighted, and he immediately had an in-depth discussion with Karp.

After some analysis, Fanny finally understood the reason.

It turns out that the Saint Seiya's sixth sense has similarities to the top-tier Armament Haki and Observation Haki in the One Piece world.

They are all ways of exploring and utilizing one's own potential.

The seventh sense corresponds to the awakening of domineering power.

When one reaches the seventh sense, one can unleash even greater power and break through one's own limits.

As for that elusive Conqueror's Haki, let's leave it for now.

I can only ask Shanks or Rayleigh for advice when I meet them again in the future.

After all, Garp himself had no idea why he possessed Conqueror's Haki.

When Garp asked Sengoku about it back then, Sengoku smiled, patted Garp on the shoulder, and said earnestly.

Follow your heart!

Follow the justice in your heart.

As long as you uphold justice, Conqueror's Haki will naturally be at your disposal.

Meanwhile, near the entrance to the Grand Line in the East China Sea, there is a town steeped in legend.

Rogue Town.

This is where Roger, the Pirate King, was born and died, and it is filled with a mysterious and solemn atmosphere.

Led by navigator Nami, Luffy and his crew, aboard the Going Merry, braved storms and finally arrived safely.

Upon arriving in Loguetown, Luffy and his crew began to act on their own.

Nami took some money out of her purse and handed it to Sanji first.

"Sanji, you and Usopp go and buy some supplies. Remember to pick the good stuff and don't let me waste it."

Sanji excitedly took the money, his eyes sparkling like hearts, and his face beaming with a bright smile.

"Don't worry, Miss Nami, I will definitely buy the best and freshest ingredients and cook a sumptuous feast for everyone when I get back!"

Usopp, not to be outdone, patted his chest and assured him.

"I will also buy the most practical tools to help us navigate better!"

The group then dispersed and wandered through the streets and alleys of Rogge.

The streets of Rogge are bustling with people, and the shops are full of all kinds of goods.

Luffy looked around like a curious child.

One moment they're drawn to the little trinkets by the roadside, the next they're drooling over the delicious food in the distance.

However, unsurprisingly, the dim-witted Luffy's flamboyant behavior caught the attention of Buggy the Clown.

Buggy the Clown, the pirate known for his comedic antics, is strolling through the streets with his crew.

When he saw Luffy, a sly glint flashed in his eyes.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

With a wave of his hand, Buggy's men swarmed forward and surrounded Luffy.

Before Luffy could react, they bound him with sea stone handcuffs and carried him to the execution platform where Roger had been executed.

Buggy stood smugly in the audience, hands on his hips, loudly mocking Luffy.

"Luffy, you've finally met your match! Now, I'll show you what I'm capable of!"

Luffy struggled desperately, but the ropes were tied too tightly, and he couldn't break free at all.

Just when Luffy's life was hanging by a thread, dark clouds suddenly filled the sky.

The pitch-black clouds, like a giant black cloth, completely covered the sky.

A thick bolt of lightning descended from the sky, accompanied by a deafening roar.

They smashed the execution platform to pieces.

Luffy took the opportunity to escape.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden scene, and Luffy looked completely bewildered.

He gazed at the sky and murmured to himself.

"What's going on here?"

According to the original storyline, Luffy would have been beaten up by Smoker with his Jitte, which is made of Seastone, in Loguetown due to his carelessness.

But now, things have taken an unexpected turn.

When Smoker charged aggressively at Luffy, Luffy unleashed the Pegasus Comet Fist without hesitation.

Luffy's fist flashed with dazzling light, and countless meteors flew towards Smoker like raindrops.

This punch contained immense power, sending Smoker flying.

Smoker flew through the air in a long arc before crashing heavily to the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust.

He struggled to get up, but a sharp pain shot through his body, and he was unable to move for a long time.

Zoro, after some searching at a weapon shop, finally bought the new sword he had been longing for.

He gripped the new knife tightly with both hands, gently drawing the blade, which gleamed with a cold, icy light.

He swung it a few times, feeling the power and feel of the blade, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Sandai Kitetsu, Yuki, from now on, I'm counting on you two."

Zoro said softly, his eyes revealing determination and confidence.

Sanji successfully purchased all the ingredients.

He carried large and small bags, humming a cheerful tune, and was in a particularly good mood.

He couldn't help but laugh as he imagined himself back on the ship, cooking a delicious meal for everyone.

Nami picked out several beautiful clothes in a clothing store.

She changed into her new clothes, stood in front of the mirror, looked at herself from left to right, and her face was filled with a happy smile.

"Hmm, this dress is perfect."

Usopp also bought all sorts of tools.

He excitedly put the tools into his backpack one by one, eager to get back to the ship and study and modify them.

However, the unlucky one was the man whose name couldn't be read backwards; he was captured by Smoker in the chaos.

Smoker was worried about how to explain himself to his superiors.

Upon seeing this man, they grasped at him like a lifeline, using him as a bargaining chip to gain merit in the military.

Poor Baji became a prisoner of the navy without even realizing it.

But what Smoker didn't know was that capturing this man might be the most regrettable decision of his life.

On the Navy's side, Garp accepted Van Nistelrooy's suggestion.

Van Nistel showed him the blueprints for the "Taurus" battleship, whose exquisite design, powerful performance, and unique shape captivated Karp.

"A dog's head is nowhere near as handsome as a bull's head! Plus, it's golden!"

Karp shouted excitedly, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

But Karp also raised a practical question.

"What should we do if we don't have enough gold?"

Van Nistel smiled mysteriously, leaned closer to Karp, and whispered.

"I'll give you the name of a sponsor that will guarantee to solve the gold problem."

"As for how to get sponsorship, of course the two old men will go out together."

Karp raised an eyebrow curiously and asked, "Who is the other old man?"

Fanny replied with a smile, "Black Wrist? Zephyr!"

……

Chapter 14 Joining the Team, Libra Teacher Zephyr!

On the empty and quiet training ground of the NEO Navy.

The marines sweated under the training of two officers, one male and one female.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty smell, swept past with a whooshing sound, raising layers of sand and dust.

It seemed as if it wanted to sweep everything into this endless ocean.

Van Nistelrooy stood tall and straight, yet with a somewhat cynical air, casually facing Zephyr.

A faint smile played at the corners of his lips, and a hint of cunning shone in his eyes.

After being tweaked by Zephyr for a week, the old guy's inventory was finally emptied.

"Kid, you're pretty cheeky."

Zephyr, the former admiral who has weathered the vicissitudes of time, has a face like an ancient tree carefully sculpted by the years.

It is etched with stories and experiences.

At this moment, he gazed silently at the young and impetuous Fanny before him, pondering to himself.

That idiot Capona actually swore that this kid could cure his missing arm and his intractable asthma.

This is utterly absurd, like something out of a fairy tale.
