Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

……

Chapter 53 Fanny's Precautionary Shot, Master Fisherman Shipwright Tom!

"So, Robin did all of this for us?"

Luffy looked puzzled, his brows furrowed, and his tone was filled with disbelief.

Just now, Fanny, who couldn't stand this melodramatic plot any longer, had Chopper call everyone over for a short meeting.

now.

The group sat together, the atmosphere heavy and oppressive.

Fanny glanced around at everyone, cleared his throat, and spoke.

"The main problem is that you all keep things too well hidden."

"How to say?"

Zoro raised an eyebrow and asked first.

"Usopp's father, Yasopp, is known as someone who can be shot down even by gods. He is now Shanks's sniper."

Van Nistel said slowly and deliberately.

"Shanks?!"

Upon hearing Shanks' name, Luffy immediately became excited, his eyes widening in surprise.

He waved his hands and jumped up from his seat.

"Don't say anything if I didn't ask you."

Fanny rolled his eyes at Luffy, then continued.

"Then, Zoro is a descendant of Ryuma, the legendary swordsman from Wano Country who slayed the dragon."

"Zoro's master, the great swordsman Shimotsuki Koshiro, is the son of Shimotsuki Kozaburo, the legendary swordsmith of Wano Country."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise.

Zoro frowned slightly, a complex emotion flashing in his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.

"As for Sanji, although there are some memories you don't want to mention, I still have to bring them up."

Fanny looked at Sanji and paused.

"He can also be considered a member of the royal family of Beihai."

After thinking for a moment, Fanny decided to help Sanji conceal his more specific identity.

"What do you mean by 'also count'?"

Sanji pursed his lips, a hint of dissatisfaction on his face, but ultimately did not refute.

"Everyone knows Nami, so I won't go into details."

Van Nistel continued.

"As for Luffy, his grandfather is the Navy hero, Garp."

"What the hell?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes widened, their mouths gaped open, and they looked incredulous.

"what about me?"

Chopper looked at Fanny expectantly and asked.

"You're not even a human being, what kind of background do you have?"

Sanji couldn't help but tease.

"You lecherous chef, I'll fight you to the death!"

Chopper instantly bristled and bit Sanji's leg, and couldn't shake him off no matter what he did.

Sanji was jumping up and down while begging for mercy, and the scene was quite chaotic.

……

While everyone was still discussing these astonishing secrets about their origins...

Meanwhile, after CP9 deduced that the blueprints for Pluto were in the hands of Franky, another of Tom's apprentices, they prepared to launch another operation.

Before they went to find Frankie, they thoughtfully burned the Carrera company to the ground.

They attempted to destroy the evidence and frame Luffy and his crew for it all.

Anyway, Luffy and his crew are pirates, and what pirate doesn't burn, kill, and plunder?

And just like that, a raging fire shot into the sky, turning half the sky red, and thick smoke filled the air.

Luffy and Zoro, who were nearby, saw the situation at the Galleyra Company and immediately ran over.

As a result, the two were ambushed by CP9, who had been preparing all along.

Caught off guard, Luffy touched the Seastone handcuffs on Lucci's waist and instantly felt weak all over.

And then he was sent flying.

Zoro was stunned for a moment when he saw Luffy being knocked away.

Then he was ambushed by Bruno, the user of the Door-Door Fruit, along with Kaku, and was also sent flying.

……

Meanwhile, Franky also found Usopp.

Usopp, covered in bandages, sat dejectedly on the Going Merry, his eyes revealing a hint of loneliness and confusion.

This made Franky temporarily put aside his thoughts of revenge.

Both being tech enthusiasts, they admired each other and quickly found common ground.

Franky was quickly drawn to Usopp's charisma and sat quietly beside him, listening to him recount his adventures.

This time, Usopp didn't embellish the story too much; he simply made a few minor changes to the original adventure.

Franky was deeply moved when he heard that Usopp was parting ways with Luffy and the others because of the Going Merry.

However, Franky, the professional shipwright who had calmed down, still strongly advised Usopp to abandon the ship.

"Usopp, you need to understand that the Going Merry, with its keel already broken into several pieces, is truly beyond repair."

“Once you change the keel of a sailboat, it’s no longer the same boat.”

Usopp was silent for a moment, then slowly raised his head.

“I know that myself, but because I have seen the ‘ship spirit’ of the Merry, I believe that the Merry is also my companion.”

"So I really can't bear to give it up."

Just as Franky and Usopp were arguing over the Going Merry, Kalifa and the others knocked down Moz and Kiwi and stormed in.

Their appearance reminded Franky of the times he and Iceberg lived and learned technology from Tom.

And the origin of the sea train.

It turns out that Franky and Iceberg's mentor, Tom, was a fish-man who was executed for building a ship for the Pirate King Roger.

But because of his love for the City of Water, he designed the train that sails on the sea.

The presiding judge, in a very "ginkgo-like" manner, decided to give him a chance and deliver a verdict after he completed the sea train journey.

To put it bluntly, it's about giving him a chance to escape as soon as possible.

Tom was a persistent fishman who actually spent 14 years completing that magnificent sea train.

The judge had initially submitted a proposal to allow Tom to redeem himself through merit, but the World Government sent CP5's Spandam to demand the design blueprints for Pluto from Tom.

Tom would never give it to him. Don't ask, there's no way you can get it.

Spandam then used the warships built by Franky to attack the judicial ship and frame Tom and his two apprentices for the crime.

To save his two apprentices, Tom resolutely confessed to his crimes and was taken to Enies Lobby for trial, never to return.

At the same time, Iceberg told Nami about Nico Robin.

Robin once told Luffy and his crew a lie, saying that it was absolutely impossible for her to achieve her dream by being with them.

For the past 20 years, Robin has been able to escape from no matter how dangerous the situation.

It's because she has nothing to protect that she can betray others at will.

But this time it didn't work.

Just as Fanny said, Robin had no intention of betraying Luffy and his crew.

Rather, he wanted to sacrifice himself to save his Straw Hat Pirates crewmates.

But is Robin overthinking things?

Is the CP's strength actually not as strong as imagined?

Nami was extremely anxious after hearing the truth.

She quickly woke Chopper and told him to find the others.

Nami rushed to the station, anxious to stop Robin from being taken away by the sea train.

Despite Nami's desperate pursuit, she still missed the last train that took Robin away.

Then, the note Sanji left in the station hall revealed to Nami that Sanji had also boarded that train.

And even Usopp was on that sea train.

It turns out that the observant Sanji had already discovered Robin's whereabouts.

In order to rescue Franky, Usopp followed in the footsteps of his partner and accidentally encountered Sanji.

Feeling temporarily relieved, Nami made up her mind to go to Enies Lobby.

But first we need to find Luffy and Zoro to rescue them.

As for Fanny, he was simply left at the hotel, sitting on the bed with a helpless expression, muttering to himself.

"These guys always forget the important things at crucial moments."
