Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

Although most of the attacks were blocked by the elephant's skin, the feeling of having his joints twisted was still unpleasant. His zombie minions fared even worse, instantly becoming fragmented under the dense wind blades, even more dismembered than their companions in the graveyard.

Absalom was stunned, looking at his subordinates who had been cleared out in an instant, and then at the two beautiful women in front of him whose eyes were calm but with a hint of coldness.

No, why are these two women so amazing?!

This is completely different from the delicate beauty he had imagined!

He gritted his teeth, realizing that a direct confrontation might not be to his advantage, and immediately considered retreating. His body began to turn transparent again: "Damn it, you just wait!"

"Want to run?"

Vivi sensed the unnatural flow of air again and immediately locked onto his location, shouting, "Wind Binding!"

The invisible air currents, like chains, once again wrapped around Absalom, which was about to become completely transparent.

"Deadly strike! Firebird Star!"

Usopp seized the opportunity and fired a specially made flaming projectile from his slingshot, hitting Absalom, who was bound by the wind, with pinpoint accuracy.

Wow!

Absalom burst into flames instantly, screaming and rolling on the ground. His invisibility was completely removed, leaving him looking utterly wretched.

Vivi and Robin exchanged a smile, relaxed and carefree.

It seems that the so-called eccentrics on this island are nothing special.

Indeed, with their current strength, dealing with these monsters is too easy for them.

Especially Vivi, Logia-type Devil Fruits are so noble.

In the face of an enemy without domineering presence, one is invincible.

Chapter 262 Changes in the World Order

They knew Hogback had ill intentions.

Luffy, carrying Nami who was still a little weak in the legs, came out of the mansion filled with strange specimens and strong perfume. Before he could catch his breath, he heard a heavy panting sound coming from ahead, accompanied by a slight tremor in the ground.

A huge figure dressed in a fluffy wedding gown burst out of the mist and blocked their way.

Was that a wild boar?

To be precise, it is a strange zombie with the head of a wild boar and the body of a strong human, but wearing a wedding dress covered in mud.

The boar zombie's small eyes gleamed with excitement as it stared intently at Nami perched on Luffy's shoulder and her conspicuous wedding dress. "The aura of a living person, and a bride too?!"

Luffy immediately put Nami down and stood in front of her, his rubber arm already poised to strike: "Hey, boar monster, wanna fight?"

However, unexpectedly, the boar zombie did not attack immediately. Instead, it twisted and pinched the hem of the wedding dress with its thick fingers, and its voice was actually a little shy.

"Wait a minute! I'm not here to fight! My name is Lola, and I'm a zombie on this island who longs for true love!"

She introduced herself, her gaze still fixed intently on Nami, "Miss in this beautiful wedding dress, you and this gentleman must be truly in love and about to walk down the aisle, right?"

How did you figure that out?

Me and Luffy?

Nami glanced down at her wedding dress and immediately realized, "No, you've misunderstood, how could I...?"

Her words stopped abruptly.

Are you suggesting she was forced to change into that wedding dress in that perverted mansion just now, for disguise or some other reason? That sounds even stranger!

Moreover, looking into Lola's eyes, which were full of longing for love, the words of denial suddenly stuck in his throat.

Two blushes instantly rose to her cheeks.

"Ah, how enviable! I never thought I would actually see it happen. To be able to walk hand in hand with your loved one on such a dangerous island, that courage and love must be true love!"

Lola completely ignored Nami's hesitation, lost in her own world, and asked, cupping her hands in a heart shape, "Can I know your names?"

"My name is Nami."

"Oh, it's Miss Nami."

Lola leaned closer to Nami, her massive body carrying a scent of earth and decay, and spoke with unusual sincerity, "Miss Nami, I am Lola. May I ask you for some advice on love? I've proposed to 443 men and been rejected each time, but I believe true love certainly exists!"

They're too close.

Nami covered her face with her hands, wanting to refuse, but Merry immediately commented, "Nami, the wedding dress definitely looks much better on you."

That sounds nice, though.

But when she saw the person she was comparing herself to, Nami broke out in a sweat. "Haha, don't say that, Miss Lola is beautiful too."

Lola the boar said shyly and sweetly, "Miss Nami, really, I already know."

Yes, confidence is beautiful in itself.

Luffy looked on with relief. Luckily, it was a day for his crewmates and there were no messy plans. What if he had to learn something from this boar bride?

It has to be said that he has become picky.

"Nami-san, please be my teacher!"

I feel like I've heard this phrase somewhere before.

Nami was caught off guard by Lola's sudden request to become her apprentice and instinctively looked at Luffy.

"I think you can handle it," Luffy gave Nami a thumbs up, "Nami, you're definitely a great teacher!"

Nami was speechless.

Especially seeing Lola's admiring gaze made her little bit of vanity involuntarily swell.

deny?

Wouldn't that make me seem unattractive?

Especially when facing Luffy, that blockhead!

She cleared her throat, slightly raised her chin, and with a hint of smugness and an air of knowing what she was doing, which she herself didn't even realize, she blurted out, "Well, when it comes to love, of course you have to use the right methods and charm."

"Shouldn't you just rush up and propose?"

"Of course not! The success rate of proposing like that is naturally not high."

"Oh, I see!"

Laura suddenly realized, pulled out a small notebook, and began to take notes seriously. "So, how exactly do I do it? How can I find such an unbreakable true love like the one between you and this gentleman?"

True love?

Does Luffy know what true love is?

Nami felt that if he was paying attention to this, he would definitely ask directly what true love is and whether it can be eaten.

Luffy watched as Nami displayed her power, but he had no intention of dealing with Lola.

You can't use your fists if they're not enemies.

Lola looked at Nami with even more admiration: "This gentleman is so genuine and adorable, he must bring you many sweet troubles in your daily life!"

This is the expression of true love!

Nami looked at Luffy's innocent face, then at the boar zombie in front of her who was treating her like a love guru, and suddenly felt so tired.

But since she had already said it, she could only bite the bullet and start making up some dating tips she had learned from shoujo manga and hearsay.

"When you're in a relationship, you should fully showcase your charm."

"It's okay to give small perks to people you like from time to time."

"Don't let him get rich overnight. Be a little shy and a little arrogant in front of him."

There's no need to clarify the relationship; things will naturally fall into place when the time is right.

.....

Lola listened, completely captivated. "I see! Nami-sensei, you're amazing! I've made up my mind, I'm going to propose to Lord Absalom right now!"

Absalom: "..."

Don't come any closer!

Nami gave an awkward laugh. Why did she feel a sense of déjà vu?

Just as Nami was being forced to give this bizarre love lecture, a silent, uninvited guest arrived at the heart of the ghost ship, in the deepest part of the Gothic castle.

In a huge bedroom filled with shadows and piles of dolls.

Bartholomew Big Bear, tall and dressed in a black tuxedo, holding a book with "BIBLE" printed on the cover, appeared silently in the center of the room like a ghost.

"Hehehehehe,"

"Isn't this Tyrant Bear? What brings you here?"

Moriah’s signature grotesque laughter echoed in the empty room.

His massive body was sunken on the throne in the shadows, with only his jagged teeth and a pair of eyes that gleamed in the dark visible.

There's still a faint sense of oppression from the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"The World Government has ordered that the new Shichibukai to succeed Crocodile has been found."

"Oh, who is it?" Moria was slightly intrigued.

"Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach, will succeed Crocodile as the new Shichibukai," Kuma said expressionlessly.

Chapter 263 Moria: Kaido and I were evenly matched.

"I've never heard of this man's name before," Moria said with some skepticism.

Those who can become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea should at least be renowned pirates.
