Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

This scene was chilling and evoked a strong sense of unease.

"Damn it, get your body moving!"

Luffy lay on the ground, watching Moria's actions, his heart filled with anger and resentment.

He tried desperately to support himself, but found that his body felt as heavy as lead, making it impossible to move.

The side effects of Omega were so severe that he couldn't muster any strength at all.

"Alright, you've done your best. I'm here for you."

Just when everyone was feeling hopeless, a firm and powerful voice rang out.

Then, Fanny, dressed in his golden armor, stood in front of Luffy.

"Everyone watch carefully, I will only demonstrate once."

Fanny's voice was as loud as a bell. He tilted his head back slightly, took a deep breath, and shouted.

"Roar, my cosmos! Mount Lu, Rising Dragon Fist!"

With his shout, a powerful cosmic force erupted from his body, and a huge golden dragon instantly appeared around him.

The golden dragon roared and soared into the sky, charging towards Moria with earth-shattering power.

"what?"

Moriah's eyes widened in horror. Before he could react, he was struck by the golden dragon and sent flying like a kite with a broken string.

He tumbled several times in the air before landing heavily on the ground, rolling a few more times before remaining motionless.

Van Nistelrooy seemed to have used up all his strength with that move; his body swayed and then he collapsed.

His golden armor also transformed into the shape of the Cloth Stones, scattering around him.

And so, under the rising sun, everyone's shadows returned to them as Moria was defeated.

……

After resting for most of the day, the Straw Hat crew and Lola and the others decided to leave this place of trouble.

However, no one expected that the bear, who had already left, would return.

They stood there quietly, blocking the way for the Thousand Sunny.

Like an insurmountable boulder, it blocked everyone's path.

Just now, the World Government issued a formal order to Kuma via Den Den Mushi.

They were worried that if news of Moria's defeat got out, it would affect the prestige of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

They issued a special order to completely eliminate the bears.

"Bear Paw Impact"

As he spoke, the bear concentrated its strength and pressed down.

With a loud explosion, a mushroom cloud rose from the Devil's Triangle.

……

Chapter 74: Ace's defeat at the hands of Blackbeard and Wapol's repentance.

After the thrilling battle on Thriller Bark came to an end.

With Hogback's help, Moria slunk away from the place that had caused him such a loss of face.

After a long period of unconsciousness, the Straw Hat Pirates finally woke up one after another.

After waking up, Sanji, with his keen intuition, immediately sensed that something was wrong.

Looking around, they found that Zoro and Fanny, who were once full of energy, were now lying quietly on the ground, seriously injured.

Their faces were as pale as paper, and their breaths were weak, as if they could lose their lives at any moment.

Sanji's heart clenched instantly, and an ominous premonition welled up inside him.

"What on earth happened? How did Van Nistelrooy get injured like this?"

Sanji asked anxiously, his eyes filled with worry.

Zoro, who was woken up by Sanji, also looked serious.

He frowned deeply, trying to find some clues from his jumbled memories.

However, everything after the battle seemed so blurry that he couldn't remember what had happened at all.

I just remember standing in front of them at the last moment.

Just as the two were at a loss, the Squirrel Brothers came over.

Seeing Sanji and Zoro's anxious expressions, they told them everything that had happened.

It turns out that at the moment the explosion occurred, Zoro and Fanny stood in front of everyone without hesitation.

They withstood the immense force of the explosion, which saved the others from death.

Nami stood aside, listening quietly to the squirrel brothers' story.

She already knew the truth in her heart.

She understood that Big Bear's so-called eradication of the Terror Sail region was nothing more than an explanation to the World Government.

Fanny never expected that Big Bear would take it so seriously.

Uncle Bear, are you serious?!

Caught completely off guard, he was seriously injured.

As time went by, everyone's emotions gradually calmed down.

To celebrate this hard-won victory, everyone sat together and began a banquet.

Just then, Brook picked up his beloved violin and gently began to play the classic pirate song, Binks' Sake.

The melodious tune echoed in the air, as if taking everyone back to an era full of adventure and passion.

Brooke closed her eyes and sang the song with deep emotion.

His voice was filled with nostalgia for the past and anticipation for the future.

After finishing his song, Brooke slowly opened his eyes and began to share his memories from 50 years ago.

It was a journey full of hardships and setbacks. He drifted alone on the vast ocean for fifty years, experiencing countless storms and frustrations.

However, he never gave up on his dream and always kept his promise to his partners.

After listening to Brook's story, Luffy and the others were moved by his perseverance and courage.

Thanks to the efforts of Luffy and his crew, Brook finally regained his shadow.

Ultimately, he decided to accept Luffy's invitation and officially join the Straw Hat Pirates.

"From today onwards, I am a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. Please take good care of me!"

Brooke said excitedly, his eyes sparkling with excitement.

"Welcome, Brook!"

Luffy said with a smile, his face beaming with genuine joy.

"Then, Miss Nami, may I take a look at your..."

Brook looked at Nami expectantly, only to be met with a thunderous punch.

"No! Sinai!"

"Ouch! That hurts!"

"Why am I getting pimples even though I don't have any skin?"

"Feed me rice!"

……

With Franky's help, the group repaired the boat that Brook had been on for fifty years while adrift and gave it to Lola and the others.

Lola and the others were extremely grateful for the Straw Hat Pirates' help. After saying goodbye to everyone, they embarked on a new journey.

After a few days of rest, Luffy's body gradually recovered.

His adventurous spirit began to stir again, and he was eager to go on an adventure to the legendary Fishman Island.

When saying goodbye to Lola, Lola gave Nami a "Voice Card," a unique item from the New World, as a keepsake.

It also explained in detail the meaning of the Life Card.

"This Life Card is very important; it will allow you to find each other in the new world."

After hearing Lola's words, Luffy suddenly remembered that what Ace had given him was the Vivre Card.

A sense of unease welled up within him, and he vaguely felt that Ace was facing mortal danger.

……

Meanwhile, Ace's situation was quite awkward.

He's eating and sleeping well now, if it weren't for being tightly bound by the sea stone chains.

He had already successfully defeated Blackbeard and bound him tightly with seastone chains.

He thought the battle was over and he could successfully bring Blackbeard back to the Whitebeard Pirates to give everyone an explanation.

However, he never expected that danger was quietly approaching.

While eating on an island, Ace was accidentally poisoned by Poison Q.

This highly toxic substance is colorless and odorless, and it takes effect very quickly. Before Ace could even react, he felt weak all over and dizzy.

While he was losing consciousness, Lafayette took the opportunity to hypnotize him.

Under hypnosis, Ace's consciousness was completely controlled, and he was unable to resist.

Immediately afterwards, Van Augur launched a long-range sniping attack from a distance, and a Seastone bullet accurately hit Ace.

The Seastone bullet was incredibly powerful, piercing right through Ace's body and worsening his injuries.

When Ace regained consciousness, he found that his body, along with the Saint Cloth Stone, was enveloped by Blackbeard's powers.
