Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Usopp, who was a sniper, needed to resupply gunpowder.

Hearing that a grandfather and grandson who made fireworks lived on the mountain, he excitedly ran over to ask them for some gunpowder.

Usopp arrived at the pyrotechnician's house on the mountain and saw a huge firework.

His eyes gleamed with excitement; he was completely captivated by the enormous firework.

He learned about the tragedy that happened here last year from the little girl who was making fireworks.

This firework was originally prepared for last year's fireworks celebration, but due to some unforeseen circumstances, it was never set off.

This year, it will once again light up the fireworks display for tonight.

Unfortunately, it rained continuously on the island.

Usopp looked at the sky, feeling a little anxious.

He knew that if the rain continued, tonight's fireworks celebration might be ruined.

So he began to use his persuasive skills to try and convince the girl.

The little girl didn't believe Usopp at first, but after some persuasion from him, she finally wavered.

Using his scientific knowledge, Usopp devised a way to successfully stop the drizzle.

“I am a messenger from Heaven, Usopp the Messenger.”

Finally, Usopp said smugly.

As night fell, fireworks lit up the sky.

Usopp discovers a dilapidated tower, which is actually a huge fireworks launch pad.

Using this fireworks launcher, which was completed 400 years ago, a huge firework shell was launched.

Fireworks burst into brilliant colors in the sky, illuminating the entire heavens.

The people on the island cheered, their faces beaming with happiness.

Chapter 36: Arranged Marriage, Fanny's Childcare Life.

[Attention! This chapter's cover girl is here!]

Less than two months later, Van Nistelrooy finally returned.

The journey was incredibly difficult and unpleasant.

Actually, Van Nistelrooy could have been back a month ago.

However, due to a small accident, Fanny had to take care of the child for a month.

Then, Van Nistelrooy beat up all those lazy bums who hadn't improved their skills at all.

Finally, I gave each of them a Phoenix Illusion Demon Fist and let them experience it for themselves.

Luffy fought the hardest, since he's the most resilient due to his Pegasus heritage.

Moreover, with his innate sit-up physique, the harder he fights, the faster his strength increases.

If his body weren't still developing, Van Nistelrooy would have loved to give him a good thrashing.

The main problem is that Fanny is really unhappy that his mom opened the door for him, he's extremely unhappy.

In the scorching desert of Alabasta, Van Nistelrooy ended a short but unforgettable stay.

Well, mainly because Vivi thought he was getting in the way in the room, so she kicked him out.

After finishing his mission in Alabasta, Van Nistelrooy dusted himself off and hummed a little tune.

They leisurely embarked on their journey back to Naval Headquarters.

"This trip has come to a successful conclusion. I'll go back to headquarters to report to the old man from the Warring States period; maybe I can even ask for a reward!"

There was nothing he could do; this matter had escalated too much, and he couldn't handle it.

The matter of the Seven Warlords of the Sea is something that needs to be handled at the level of the Five Elders and the Fleet Admiral.

Upon entering the naval headquarters, Fanny greeted the soldiers around him as if he were back on his own turf.

"Hey brothers, long time no see! Have you missed your hero?"

The soldiers responded with smiles, but their eyes were full of questions.

"Who is this guy?"

"I can't come."

Fanny swaggered toward Sengoku's office, cracking jokes with a few passing soldiers along the way.

Unfortunately, it wasn't funny, and nobody laughed.

After all, they didn't know who this boy, whose face they couldn't see, was.

All I know is that it has some connection to the Warring States period.

When they arrived at the door of the Warring States office, Fanny didn't stand on ceremony and directly raised his hand to knock on the door while calling out.

"Old Master Zhan Guo, I'm here! Open the door quickly!"

Fanny disliked reporting the most.

"Come in."

A calm, collected voice came from inside. Fanny pushed open the door, swaggered in, and plopped down on the sofa.

He crossed his legs.

"Grandpa, I'm back from my mission! Everything's taken care of in Alabasta."

"Professor Zephyr has already begun constructing the Sanctuary in Alabasta."

"Crocodile has been caught too."

“Well done, Fanny.”

Sengoku, clad in golden armor, sat at his desk, flipping through the documents in his hands.

The little lamb beside it was diligently working on its paper shredder, bite by bite.

He looked up and saw Fanny come in, a chrysanthemum-like smile appearing on his face.

Fanny raised an eyebrow smugly upon hearing this.

"That's right, don't you see who I am!"

Zhan Guo smiled and shook his head, putting down his work, then suddenly changed the subject.

"Fanny, want a wife?"

Fanny, who was sitting with his legs crossed, almost fell off the sofa when he heard this.

He stared wide-eyed at the Warring States period with an incredulous expression.

"Grandpa, you're not kidding, are you? I'm not going to do that. I'm only sixteen. I'm still a child."

"Why are you suddenly asking me for a wife? What's going on here?"

Sengoku couldn't help but laugh when he saw Fanny's shocked expression.

“I’m not kidding, it’s true. And she’s a very special girl.”

Fanny frowned, looking puzzled.

"Old man, I'm not well-educated, don't try to fool me. What's going on? My head is spinning."

Sengoku stood up, walked over to Fanny, and patted him on the shoulder.

"The Five Elders may have misunderstood something and mistaken you for an orphan of a Celestial Dragon."

"They even fought over this, trying to bring you under their control."

"Finally, Figarando Gringu, the Holy Knight of God, stepped forward and offered to marry his youngest daughter to you."

Fanny's eyes widened even more, and his mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg.

"What the hell?"

"The last surviving member of the Celestial Dragons? A marriage alliance? How is that possible? How come I didn't know I had this identity?"

"Old man, are you sure you're not joking? This isn't funny."

Zhan Guo looked at Fan Ni and said earnestly.

“I understand your thinking, Fanny. But some things are beyond our control.”

"This alliance may have a significant impact on the future of our navy."

"Why don't you meet that girl first and see what happens?"

"Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles. At worst, you can just have another affair."

Fanny sighed helplessly.

"Alright, old man. I'll meet her. But let me make this clear: if this girl is too troublesome, I'm not responsible!"

Zhan Guo nodded in satisfaction.

"Okay, she'll be at Naval Headquarters this afternoon. Make sure you give her a proper welcome."

After lunch, Fanny stood at the entrance of the Navy Headquarters, feeling extremely uneasy.

"What kind of girl is she? Is she some spoiled and willful young lady?"

He muttered to himself as he paced back and forth at the doorway.

Just then, a luxurious carriage slowly drove up.

After the carriage came to a stop, the door slowly opened, and a petite girl stepped out.

Fanny's eyes widened in shock. He never imagined that Figarando Greene's daughter was only eight years old.

Wait, Figarando Grimaldi? Why does that name sound so familiar?

The girl is so cute.

She has long black hair and big eyes that are like two bright gems, sparkling with a lively light.
