Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

When they get sleepy, they lean against the gunwale and take a nap. When they wake up, they continue to mechanically repeat the actions of baiting and casting, as if they were under a spell.

Finally, on the morning of the second day, Luffy's fishing line moved.

He instantly became energetic, as if he had been injected with adrenaline, and shouted.

"Something's happening! I can finally end my air force status!"

He gripped the fishing rod tightly with both hands and pulled it up with all his might.

With a splash, a figure burst out of the water.

Everyone stared in astonishment, their jaws dropping.

What they caught wasn't a fish at all, but clearly a swan-like transvestite with hairy legs.

Von Clay struck an exaggerated pose in the air, not forgetting to wink at her.

"Oh dear, people thought someone was so kind as to pull me out of the sea!"

Luffy looked completely bewildered, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit an egg.

It took me a while to realize what was happening.

"What... what's going on? How come we caught someone, and a transvestite at that!"

Fanny holds an attitude of "not understanding but respect" towards transgender people.

He looked at the strangely shaped and oddly behaving guy in front of him, and couldn't help but shake his head, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"This luck is unparalleled. Others fish, but Luffy, you're fishing for a transvestite. You're truly one of a kind."

Usopp laughed so hard he almost choked, pointing at Luffy and saying...

"Luffy, you've made history in the world of fishing!"

Nami frowned in disgust and rolled her eyes.

"Honestly, we finally had a glimmer of hope, and then we caught this weirdo."

von Clay didn't care about the reactions of others.

He swayed his hips and started dancing on the deck, talking as he danced.

"Hehe, everyone, don't be so cold! I'm actually very enthusiastic!"

"No heehee."

Zoro looked at Bon Clay speechlessly, muttering to himself.

"What bad luck. I thought we could finally end the air force situation, but then this weirdo showed up."

Luffy scratched his head, looked at Bon Clay, and suddenly his eyes lit up.

"Hey, what's your name? Now that I've caught you, you're one of our partners!"

von Klay stopped dancing, put his hands on his hips, and said proudly.

"His name is Bon Clay, and he's a great transvestite warrior! But, since Luffy-chan is so enthusiastic, I'll reluctantly become your friend!"

And so, Bon Clay inexplicably joined the Straw Hat Pirates temporarily.

Although everyone is still a little unaccustomed to this sudden "partner".

But on this adventurous sea, anything can happen.

Before long, Bon Clay and the Straw Hat crew members were getting along very well.

His unique personality and humorous behavior brought a lot of joy to everyone.

He taught everyone to dance the unique dances of transvestites and led them in playing all sorts of strange and wonderful games, filling the entire Straw Hat crew with laughter and joy.

After playing with the Straw Hat crew for a while, Bon Clay decided to show off his abilities.

He struck a cool pose and shouted loudly.

"Watch closely, this is my ability, the Imitation Fruit!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his body began to change, instantly transforming into Luffy's appearance.

Both his appearance and demeanor are exactly the same as Luffy's; it's practically a copy-paste.

Luffy's eyes widened, and he said with a look of surprise.

"Wow, that's amazing! You look exactly like me!"

Bon Clay transformed back into Zoro, brandishing three mops and mimicking Zoro's tone.

"The Secret of the Three Swords Style!"

Zoro frowned and said helplessly.

"This guy's imitation is pretty good."

"But why use a mop?!"

Von Clay was having a great time, constantly changing the shape of the object.

She turned into Nami and almost took off all her clothes.

He transformed into Usopp in a moment, making everyone burst into laughter.

Just as everyone was having a great time, a shout came from afar.

A ship sailed toward them, and the people on board were von Clay's crew.

When von Klay saw his crew, a look of surprise and delight appeared on his face.

"Oh my gosh, my friends have come to pick me up!"

Although the Straw Hat crew members were somewhat reluctant to part ways, they still said goodbye to Bon Clay.

Luffy patted Bon Clay on the shoulder.

"Xiao Feng, you must come visit us again sometime!"

von Clay blinked and said with a smile.

"Of course, Luffy-chan! I'll miss you guys!"

After saying that, Bon Clay jumped onto his boat and waved goodbye to the Straw Hat crew.

As the ship sailed further away, von Clay's figure disappeared from everyone's sight.

The others waved in response.

Only Weiwei seemed lost in thought.

……

Chapter 21: Athena's power awakens, Nami's Armament Haki.

"The face that Xiao Feng just imitated, did it resemble your father, the King of Alabasta, Cobra?"

Fanny, a mysterious smile playing on his lips, fixed his gaze on Vivi, who was enjoying the sea breeze, and suddenly asked a question.

Weiwei was still lost in her own thoughts when she was startled by the sudden question, and her eyes widened in surprise.

His eyes were full of surprise, and he subconsciously asked in return.

"you know?"

Fanny spread his hands, looking relaxed and casual, and said nonchalantly.

"Guess."

Vivi frowned, looking confused, her mind full of questions. She really couldn't understand what Fanny was trying to tell her.

Seeing this, Fanny stopped teasing her and continued.

"There's only one thing that could terrify you so much: a substitution of one thing for another."

"Riddler, die!"

"I understand the logic, but what do you mean by 'substituting one thing for another'?"

Weiwei stamped her foot in frustration, her voice rising several decibels, her eyes filled with anxiety.

Fanny crossed his arms and explained slowly.

"Baroque Works is going to use von Clay to replace your father and do some bad things."

Weiwei bit her lower lip, a flash of anger in her eyes, and said resentfully, "As expected, it's them again."

Fanny's lips curled up, deliberately keeping everyone in suspense, and he raised an eyebrow, asking, "Want to know who's behind this?"

Vivi's eyes lit up instantly, like a hungry wolf spotting its prey, and she said eagerly, "Yes."

Fanny grinned mischievously and leaned closer to Vivi, saying playfully, "Come on, let's have a game."

Vivi's face turned red with anger, her hands clenched into fists, as if she was about to rush up and punch someone at any moment.

Then she shouted, "I think you're asking for trouble again!"

As he spoke, a vast, cosmic power emanated from his body, causing the surrounding air to tremble.

Seeing this, Fanny quickly took two steps back, but still wore that cynical smile on his face.

"Such a powerful inner universe? Looks like I didn't choose the wrong person."

She gave a slight snort, turned her head away, and refused to look at him again, her heart filled with speechless frustration at Fanny.

Van Nistel, knowing when to stop, coughed lightly and said...

"Alright, I'll stop teasing you. The boss of Baroque Works, Mr. 1, is Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."

Weiwei nodded, seemingly expecting this, and calmly said, "As expected."

Fanny feigned a sigh and said with a helpless expression.

"Forget it, you're such a bad girlfriend, not giving me any sweetness at all. Go rest now."

After saying that, he turned and swaggered away.

Vivi watched Fanny's retreating figure, shook her head helplessly, and sighed softly.

"This guy will never change."

The night she received the Staff of Athens, Weiwei had a very long dream.
