Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

Finally, Sanji broke the awkward silence.

He put his hands in his pockets, slightly raised his chin, and said coldly.

"Hmph, I'll let you off this time."

"However, we will get back the two hundred million Berries you stole from us sooner or later!"

"You'd better remember this!"

Sanji's words, though carrying a hint of harshness, seemed somewhat lacking in confidence amidst the surrounding wounded.

As for the two hundred million Berries that were stolen, they no longer seemed to matter so much to the four of them.

Anyway, they still have 800 million Berries, and the Ark is filled with countless gold and antiques.

If it's not enough, we can just sell it.

With these thoughts in mind, the four of them left the Franky family with mixed feelings.

On the other side, Usopp, who was seriously injured, finally woke up after a painful struggle.

However, fate did not seem to intend to let him go.

As soon as he regained consciousness, he heard Luffy's decision to change ships.

This news struck Usopp like a bolt from the blue.

His eyes instantly filled with anger and disbelief, and his hands trembled with excitement.

"Luffy, how could you make such a decision! The Going Merry has been with us for so long, it's our partner, how can you just replace it like that!"

Usopp questioned Luffy loudly, his voice trembling slightly.

Seeing Usopp's excited expression, Luffy felt a little helpless, but he still spoke firmly.

"Usopp, the Going Merry is beyond repair. It can no longer accompany us on our adventures at sea."

"We need a new ship to move forward."

"No, I don't believe it! The Going Merry can still be saved! You're abandoning it, abandoning our comrade!"

Usopp became increasingly agitated, relentlessly pressuring Luffy with his questions.

Under Usopp's relentless pressure, Luffy's patience gradually ran out, and he finally couldn't help but say something in anger.

"Usopp, if you don't trust the decisions I, as captain, have made, then get off the ship!"

Usopp felt as if his heart was being torn apart when he heard Luffy's words. He gritted his teeth and forced back the tears in his eyes.

"It seems the Straw Hat Pirates really don't need a weak partner like me."

"In that case, I, Captain Usopp, have decided to engage you in a final duel. I will reclaim the Going Merry, which belongs to the captain!"

Looking into Usopp's determined eyes, Luffy knew that this duel was unavoidable.

"Since you insist, I have no choice but to accept your challenge."

Thus, the two partners who had once braved the winds and waves and risked their lives together stood on opposite sides and began a not-so-intense duel.

Both of them exerted their full strength, attacking the "opponent" they knew best.

The two of them engaged in a pure hand-to-hand combat without using any domineering auras or wearing any holy armor.

The duel lasted from daylight until nightfall, and Van Nistelrooy was getting sleepy watching it.

He yawned and shook his head helplessly.

This behavior is really childish.

As time went on, Usopp's injuries gradually affected his physical strength and condition.

His movements became increasingly sluggish, and his breathing became rapid.

Finally, after a fierce attack, Usopp, whose injuries had relapsed, could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

Luffy looked at Usopp lying on the ground, his heart filled with mixed feelings.

He stepped forward and took a look.

She silently left the Going Merry to Usopp, and then departed with a heavy heart.

Even Fanny, who was lying on the boat, was carried away on a stretcher by Chopper and Zoro.

The group checked into a hotel in town, hoping to find some peace and quiet for the time being.

However, the storm of fate struck them once again.

Just then, Sanji, who had gone out to investigate, heard the news that Mayor Iceberg had been attacked.

When he was found, Mayor Iceberg was lying in a pool of blood, and remained unconscious.

Luffy and Nami were extremely anxious upon hearing this news.

They rushed to see the iceberg, but when they arrived at Dock No. 1, they found that they could not enter at all.

The entrance was heavily guarded by a group of people, and no matter what they said, they were not allowed to enter.

Luffy and Nami finally arrived at Dock 1, only to be ruthlessly blocked at the gate.

They were extremely anxious, yet helpless.

Unexpectedly, at this moment, Franky, the eldest of the Franky family, who had returned, also came to settle scores with Luffy because his house had been destroyed and his younger brother had been injured.

Franky's eyes blazed with fury the moment he saw Luffy.

He roared, "You bastard! How dare you destroy my home and injure my family! Today I will make you pay!"

Luffy was equally unyielding.

"Franky, how dare you say that! You stole our money and injured Usopp, and I haven't settled that score with you yet!"

The two enemies, seeing each other, were filled with hatred and immediately began to fight.

They went back and forth, neither giving an inch, and the fight wasn't intense at all.

It's like fighting with kids.

Because Lulu Pikachu Fly was completely acting; aside from his rubber powers, he didn't even use any martial arts techniques.

Franky didn't want to resort to underhanded tactics either.

However, just as the two were locked in a fierce battle, Nami, who was thoroughly annoyed, finally couldn't take it anymore.

She put her hands on her hips, glared angrily, and shouted loudly.

"You two, stop it!"

As she spoke, Nami conjured a powerful bolt of electricity in her hand and slashed it towards the two of them.

"If you don't pay me back today, Franky, you're not leaving here unscathed!"

Luffy and Franky were startled by the powerful aura emanating from Nami and immediately stopped what they were doing.

Under Nami's lightning intimidation, the two immediately knelt down.

Franky said helplessly, "I have no money, but you can take my life... No way!"

His words made the atmosphere a little awkward.

Just then, Mayor Iceberg woke up.

Unexpectedly, he revealed a shocking truth as soon as he opened his mouth.

The assailant who attacked him was Nicole Robin.

This news was like a bombshell, stirring up a huge wave of emotions among everyone.

Just as the group was conducting a comical interrogation of Franky, the strongest foreman in Carrera's company suddenly appeared, saying he would seek justice for Mr. Iceberg.

Because the one who attacked the iceberg was Nico Robin, and she is a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.

For them, Luffy, the pirate, is their number one enemy.

Luffy simply couldn't believe Robin would do such a thing. He was extremely anxious and wanted to rush in and confront Iceberg directly.

After a lot of hard work, Luffy finally managed to infiltrate the Galleyra Company and meet Iceberg.

However, Iceberg firmly stated, "I did see Nico Robin with my own eyes, and she is one of the murderers."

He then asked Luffy to let him meet Nico Robin one more time.

However, since Luffy didn't know where Robin was, he couldn't agree to that.

Losing patience, Mayor Iceberg decided to issue a warrant for the arrest of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Luffy and his crew barely managed to escape after being relentlessly pursued by the shipwrights of the Galleyra Company.

But just then, Franky, who had escaped in the chaos, prepared to capture Usopp, who was alone, in order to lure Luffy and the others out.

At the same time, Chopper sent Robin a message and admitted that she was the one who assassinated Iceberg.

When Luffy learned of this, he was filled with questions and decided that he had to find Robin and find out the truth no matter what.

As Luffy and his crew prepare to storm Galley-La's company, CP9 is also planning to take action tonight.

CP9's abilities are indeed unfathomable; they not only have members with the Door-Door Fruit ability that allows them to open doors in walls at will.

Two other people were lying in ambush, intending to steal what Barry had obtained under Iceberg's orders.

While Luffy stormed into Galley-La's company to capture Robin, CP9 also began their operation.

Lucci and Kaku set their sights on Barry, who was on his way to retrieve something important from the iceberg.

However, to everyone's surprise, Iceberg was one step ahead and successfully evaded the situation, eventually meeting Robin again.

Having obtained the fake blueprints from Barry, Lucci and the others hurriedly ordered everyone to stop their actions and gather at Iceberg's dormitory.

Because they wanted to force him to reveal where the real design drawings were.

Feeling betrayed by his closest subordinate, Iceberg was already extremely frustrated.

Luffy finally found Robin, and Nami and the others arrived at Iceberg's bedroom at the same time.

However, they also saw the cruel truth: Robin must have been blackmailed by the CP (couple) and betrayed Luffy and his crew.

Lucci, Kaku, Kalifa, and Bruno were all originally agents infiltrating the Carrera Corporation.

They also planned to destroy everything and cover up the crime.
