Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Now Tezzolo has invited the world-famous singer Karina to hold a concert, ostensibly to promote some kind of 'spinach' tourism industry.

This is utter nonsense!

"Move quickly!"

Tanaka shouted at the top of his lungs, his fat face jiggling.

He simply couldn't understand Tezzolo's actions; in his view, it was utterly self-destructive.

Tanaka became Tesoro's butler simply for the money.

He doesn't care about your ideals or anything like that. To me, money is the only thing that matters!

Only Baccarat, that love-struck fool, was easily swayed by Tezzolo's sweet words, and even that idiot Desce actually believed his lies!

What Tanaka feared most was that Tesoro had started auditing the accounts.

"This is terrible! If I don't leave now, all my little secrets will be exposed, and then I might really be unable to leave!"

Thinking of this, Tanaka couldn't help but shudder.

He stomped his foot angrily and shouted, "Hmph, even without you, the Golden Emperor, I can become the Silver Emperor! Just you wait and see!"

And so, Tanaka and his gang members slunk away from Gran Tesoro.

……

Fujitora led the navy in a half-hearted pursuit for a few days, but gave up after throwing a few shells into the sea because of bad weather.

Anyway, the cost of the shells will be reimbursed, so the more shells you throw out, the more damage you can claim.

Meanwhile, Nami and the others arrived in Zou aboard the Sunny.

I don't know if it's because the signal in this area is too poor, but I haven't heard from her for almost half a month.

The last news they received was when they saw that colossal elephant.

Fanny frowned, his face full of worry as he pondered.

Unconsciously, I started pacing back and forth on the deck, my heart pounding with anxiety.

This was the first time since he came into this world that something was out of his control.

Because he didn't know what was going on with Zou, he couldn't sense Nami and the others' cosmos, so he couldn't use telekinesis at all.

However, another problem awaits him.

It wasn't until he separated from the rest of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet that Fanny suddenly remembered a crucial question.

"Oh my god, what's wrong with my brain!"

Then Fanny helplessly slapped his own face.

Bartolomeo's ship doesn't even have a navigator!

That's right, they were able to reach the New World entirely by calling the old lady who ran the flower shop, plus a tiny bit of luck.

"This is outrageous. We actually got through it all without even realizing it."

Fanny said, both amused and exasperated.

Fortunately, the old lady was very reliable and pointed them to a new route.

Although the distance and direction of this route are slightly different from the eternal pointer, at least we have a direction.

After drifting at sea for several days, a glittering, isolated island appeared before them.

At the center of the island stands a massive silver fortress, its radiance illuminating the surrounding sea.

"Seniors, according to Grandma, this is the forward station of Zou, Silver Mine Island."

Then Gambia, the only one on the ship with some navigator skills, pointed to the island and explained it to everyone.

To avoid unnecessary trouble, after maintaining a safe distance, the "Forward" ship, Luffy-senpai, first sent a small team aboard in a small boat to explore the area.

Robin volunteered to go along.

Luffy was sitting on his own straw hat, letting out some fresh air, humming a tuneless little tune.

Suddenly, a strong tremor nearly threw him into the sea.

"Oh my god!"

Luffy frantically grabbed his straw hat and shouted.

"Barto, what's wrong?!"

Fanny was meditating when he was also disturbed by the strong vibration.

He opened his eyes with a displeased expression and said, "Barto, what's going on? Why is the ship rocking so badly?"

"Reporting to Instructor Fanny, someone has launched an attack on us. We suggest we take cover."

Bartolomeo stretched out his arms, creating a barrier to block the incoming shells, and shouted loudly.

"Barto, this isn't like you."

Fanny raised an eyebrow and said with a doubtful look.

"If you were a regular pirate, with Luffy around, you would have already excitedly rushed up to fight him."

“Instructor Fanny, this time is different…”

Bartolomeo hesitated, his expression conflicted.

Another barrage of cannon fire followed, causing the ship to rock violently.

"If you don't tell me, I might take action."

As Fanny spoke, his body slowly levitated, radiating a powerful aura.

"The ship that's attacking is the Candy Pirates' ship, and on board is one of my friends... uh, friends."

Bartolomeo said somewhat shyly, his face turning slightly red.

"She's my girlfriend, right?"

Van Nistelrooy saw right through Bartolomeo's thoughts, and a sly smile crept onto his lips.

“Instructor Fanny, please make sure I handle this myself.”

Bartolomeo quickly said, his face full of pleading.

"I also need to go!"

Upon hearing that there was something exciting to see, Luffy immediately jumped up excitedly.

"Count me in, it'll be good for stretching my muscles."

Zoro also drew his sword, his eyes gleaming with excitement.

"Luffy-senpai! Zoro-senpai!"

Bartolomeo looked at them helplessly. He knew that once these two made up their minds, it would be very difficult to change them.

"Okay, go ahead."

Fanny shook his head helplessly.

"Gambia, you should come along too."

"Yes, Instructor!"

Gambia immediately stood at attention and answered loudly.

……

Chapter 156 Barto, burdened with worries, and Dezaia's past.

On this magnificent Grand Line, the Forward-bound Luffy-senpai is encountering an unexpected "sweet" crisis.

A pink pirate ship, like a giant cotton candy, floated on the sea, yet it fired at them without mercy.

"Haha, watch my super human slingshot!"

With his signature big laugh, Luffy grabbed Bartolomeo with one hand and lifted Gambia with the other, his hands like pincers.

He bent his legs and instantly transformed into a powerful spring, launching the two of them towards the pink pirate ship dozens of meters away with a "whoosh".

It was so fast, like a cannonball being fired, leaving only a blur.

"Hey, Luffy-senpai, grab me gently! You're going to tear my arm off!"

Bartolomeo struggled frantically in the air, shouting and desperately grabbing Luffy's arm.

It looked like a captured octopus, flailing its arms and legs wildly.

"Haha, don't be afraid, Barto, this is an incredibly exciting sea flight experience!"

Luffy completely ignored Bartolomeo's screams and smiled even more broadly, revealing a set of big white teeth.

At the same time, Zoro remained calm, took a deep breath, and suddenly leaped high into the air, unleashing Moonwalk: Aerial Assault.

He stepped out of the air, creating invisible staircases, and steadily flew towards the pirate ship.

Each step seemed to carry a sharp sword aura, cutting through the surrounding air with a hissing sound.

With a powerful surge of Haki, Luffy unleashed his Conqueror's Haki, causing the entire sea surface to tremble.

Before long, the pink pirate ship seemed to be pulled by an invisible hand, slowly moving closer to the Luffy-senpai.

A moment later, two muffled thuds were heard.

Bartolomeo and Gambia were like two kites with broken strings, thrown back one after the other and crashing heavily onto the deck.

"Ouch, my back!"

"This girl is too ruthless; she almost knocked my handsome face out of shape."

Bartolomeo and Gambia lay on the ground, writhing in pain, rubbing their bottoms and muttering under their breath.

Immediately afterwards, Zoro and Luffy jumped back.

Then Luffy was seen carrying a trophy, a girl with deep red hair.

The girl looked defiant, like an angry little lion, struggling incessantly.

He was still shouting, "Let me go, you bunch of bad guys!"
