Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

As a result, Usopp accidentally spilled the disinfectant alcohol, which ended up all over Enel, who was pretending to be dead.

With a scream, Enel jumped up.

Luffy noticed Enel's unusual behavior, tensed all his muscles, gathered all his strength and Haki, and unleashed a Pegasus Giant Fist with all his might.

The punch, carrying an overwhelming force, slammed into Enel, sending him crashing into the Golden Bell behind him.

And so, Enel, the false god, met his end.

Amidst the chaos, the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit attached itself to the apple that Fanny had prepared long ago.

As if guided by something, Nami took the apple and ate it without hesitation.

Even if it tastes terrible, I won't leave a single bite.

……

Luffy finally defeated Enel and rang the Golden Bell.

The melodious chimes echoed in the sky, heard not only by Kulik and the others below, but also fulfilling the last wish of the great Shandora warrior, Calgra.

Norland's centuries-old stigma has finally been washed away, because the Golden Bell that rang out with beautiful chimes truly exists, and the golden city of Shandora has always existed in the sky.

The internal conflicts on Skypiea were resolved with Nico Robin's explanation, and the four-hundred-year war in the Kingdom of God finally came to an end.

The people of the whole country held celebrations for several days in high spirits.

While everyone was asleep, Luffy woke up his crew and said he wanted to steal some gold to take back to Qinghai.

Nami needed time to adapt to the Rumble-Rumble Fruit and her cosmos, and Fanny, worried about her, followed her.

The two of them were thus temporarily separated from everyone.

In fact, Luffy never expected that the Skypiea people wanted to give them a huge pure gold pillar from the Golden Bell Tower.

Luffy and his crew left Skypiea quietly, leaving the island's inhabitants no chance to thank them or say goodbye.

However, amidst the resounding chimes, Connie's octopus-shaped hot air balloon allowed them to successfully leave the sky island.

……

As expected, another minor incident occurred.

However, an accident occurred just before they landed, as the octopus suddenly shrank and they fell into an unknown place.

Yes, their landing point was actually the Baron Fortress, the naval fortress of their pirate crew's mortal enemy.

Yes, that's the G8 fortress.

The person stationed there was Lieutenant General Jonathan, a pure Japanese man.

Although he is from Akainu's lineage, he is a rare breed of Marine with brains.

More importantly, nobody knows just how strong this guy really is.

However, none of Luffy and the rest of the crew were on board, which puzzled Vice Admiral Jonathan, the commander of the fortress, and the other officers and soldiers.

Some even suspect it's a ghost ship.

Of course, Lieutenant General Jonathan wasn't stupid, and neither were the officers at G8 Fortress.

It's obvious whose ship this is.

Straw Hat Boy, Monkey D. Luffy!

Others might not know that Karp is his grandson, but how could Jonathan, Karp's eldest disciple, not know?

The Going Merry is now in such a dilapidated state that it's truly an eyesore.

Vice Admiral Jonathan wanted to give up, but it was no use; he had no choice but to bring ship number 88 in for repairs.

It's so heartbreaking.

As for the Straw Hat crew, let them cause trouble, the bigger the better...

The game of acting extravaganza begins here.

After Luffy and his crew split up, each searched for a way out of the fortress.

Unexpectedly, Sanji and Luffy were mistakenly called into the Navy kitchen by the head chef, who treated them like newcomers, and there they met Jessica, Vice Admiral Jonathan's wife.

And then a battle ensued with the naval cook.

However, Sanji's skills are certainly breathtaking.

Zoro was captured alone.

Another lone Chopper was also rushed to the infirmary at the last minute.

And so, by a twist of fate, Chopper performed surgery on the injured Marine.

Because Robin believed that Usopp was safer with Zoro, she devised a plan to have Usopp imprisoned as well.

The main problem is that Zoro has a terrible sense of direction and likes to randomly attack people, which can easily cause unnecessary trouble.

On the other hand, Luffy and Sanji head towards the most likely location, determined to rescue the two who had been captured.

Unexpectedly, this was another trap set by Commander Jonathan. Fortunately, Usopp's Impact Bar was able to break the fence.

However, Sanji took the Stinky Shell instead, and the stench caused it to explode upon contact with the fire, resulting in serious injuries to himself.

This made Usopp understand Vannie's assessment of Impact Bay at the time.

Ultimately, they are external things, and it's not as satisfying to use one's own true abilities.

After Luffy and Sanji rescued Zoro and Usopp, they immediately headed to Dock 88, where the Going Merry was docked.

Meanwhile, under the arrangement of Commander Jonathan, the Navy first sent Drake to ambush at Dock 88.

They also dispatched the 55th Special Forces to buy time for Luffy and his crew.

Luffy and his crew finally reached the gate that led them out of the open sea, only to find that all the gold they had taken from Skypiea had disappeared.

Usopp insisted on returning to the naval fortress to retrieve the gold, because their most important task now was to spend a large sum of money repairing the Going Merry.

This is their contribution to the Going Merry, which has always carried them across the seas.

Luffy and his crew, who had returned to the naval fortress, split into two groups under Usopp's arrangement.

Luffy, Usopp, and Zoro are determined to reclaim the Golden Team.

Robin and Sanji, on the other hand, were tasked with retrieving the Waver team.

As a result, Chopper was left alone to guard the Going Merry.

The trip went surprisingly smoothly.

Luffy and his crew, having successfully retrieved the gold, encounter an unprecedented crisis as they try to escape Nabaron Fortress.

Due to the fortress's natural barriers and terrain, no ship can pass through at low tide.

This left the Going Merry stranded on the shallows, unable to move.

Fortunately, Luffy had hidden the octopus in his pants, so they were able to take off into the sky again.

Unexpectedly, not far away, I saw the ark that should have been on the Sky Island.

It turns out that Fanny also returned with Nami, who had finally become familiar with the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, and the Ark filled with gold.

They found a small island to dock, and the group used Luffy's rubber powers to put the badly damaged Going Merry into the Ark's cabin.

The Straw Hat crew's antics greatly pleased Lieutenant General Jonathan and his wife.

This was all part of Jonathan's plan.

Taking this opportunity, they set a trap to kick out all the corrupt elements buried within the team.

They even managed to secure a substantial amount of repair funding.

……

Chapter 47: The Great Adventure on Long Chain Island, Professional Playmate for the Foxy Pirates.

After many trials and tribulations, Luffy and his crew finally arrived at the next island.

As soon as they set foot on this land, they sensed something was amiss.

Everything on the island grows unusually long: plant stems, animal limbs, and even the outlines of houses all exhibit a peculiar elongated shape.

It was as if the entire world had been stretched by an invisible force.

This strange sight filled everyone with curiosity and doubt.

But Luffy didn't care at all; his eyes gleamed with excitement, as if he had discovered some new treasure.

During their exploration of the island, Luffy and his crew inadvertently rescued an old man.

The old man's name was Dongjit. He was thin and his face was marked by the passage of time.

But his eyes revealed a kind and benevolent expression.

Yes, this is an old tradition of the Straw Hat Pirates.

On each island, an Old Deng will randomly spawn.

Dongite was deeply grateful to Luffy and his crew for saving his life. After learning that they were travelers from afar, he decided to treat the Straw Hat crew to a good meal.

However, the moment they landed, a number of malicious eyes were already watching them.

Yes, the Foxy Pirates, the captain of this pirate crew is that Silver Fox Foxy.

The bounty is 2400 million Berries.

That's the guy Fanny was talking about, the one who wasted his Slow-Light-Light Fruit ability.

Dongite warmly invited Luffy and his crew to his residence.

During the conversation, everyone learned that 10 years had passed, the entire nomadic village had moved away, and now he was all alone.

What's truly touching is that a horse named Shirley has been waiting here for him for 10 years without complaint.

However, the peaceful time did not last long.

The members of the Foxy Pirates appeared. They were arrogant and disrespectful, and they even managed to wound Sherry.

Looking at the injured Sherry, Dongit's eyes were filled with pain and anger, while Luffy's heart was also ablaze with rage.

Seeing this, Foxy actually issued a challenge, and Luffy readily and happily accepted.
