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

The crowd looked in the direction of the sound and saw a short old woman with a snake-head cane running toward them in terror.

It was none other than the former, former, former emperor of Amazon Lily, Gloriosa, also known as Granny New.

"Grandma New? Why?"

Margaret looked at Grandma New, who was running over in a panic, with a puzzled expression.

Granny New rushed forward, panting, pointing her cane at Luffy, her voice trembling: "Why? Because he's a man! A man!"

"man?"

What's so strange about men?

Perona blinked, looking at the Amazon Lily warriors around her who had suddenly become tense and drawn their weapons at her and Luffy, and asked with a bewildered expression, "Haven't you ever seen a man before?"

In all her years of life, this was the first time she had ever seen someone react so strongly to the identity of a man.

She wasn't surprised that she was afraid of zombies.

However, as more and more women gathered, all pointing weapons at her, Perona panicked.

"Ah, it seems we have indeed arrived at an extraordinary place."

Luffy glanced around at the instantly hostile gazes and grinned, "They were instantly filled with hostility."

The observer swept their gazes around, and everyone became extremely aggressive.

"Is this the time to laugh? We're being treated like enemies!" Perona was almost in tears.

How can these people's attitudes change so easily?

They were all smiles just a moment ago, but as soon as they heard Luffy was a man, they immediately turned on each other with swords drawn!

"Are you ready?" Luffy suddenly asked.

Perona was taken aback, and asked blankly, "Prepare what?"

That's why people who join without understanding Luffy are bound to suffer a great loss.

If it were Nami, she would have already nimbly grabbed him like an octopus.

Sure enough, the next second, Luffy's hand quickly extended, like a rubber cable wrapping around Perona's waist as she floated beside him, while his other hand also extended, wrapping around Margaret, who was closest to him and hadn't fully reacted yet.

"Let's hide for a while and find out what's going on with this country from Margaret!"

Luffy grinned and suddenly pushed off with his feet.

Then the Amazon Lily warriors saw Luffy leap up and jump off the wall, which was hundreds of meters high.

That's hell down there!

Jumping from a height of several hundred meters, anyone would be smashed into a pulp!

"Why are you making such a face? You're supposed to be having fun with this kind of thing!"

Luffy laughed loudly, with a sense of excitement that showed no regard for the lives of others.

These words nearly pierced Perona's eardrums with a scream: "Play xxx."

She felt that scaring others on Thriller Bark was exciting enough, but it turns out she hadn't met Luffy yet.

If she had met Luffy earlier, she definitely wouldn't have gone to scare people!

Luffy directly stirred up Perona's remorse, at least that's what Perona thinks now.

She felt like a rag doll that was tied up, with Luffy's rubber arm tightly gripping her waist, and was falling wildly toward the ground at the speed of free fall.

Everything in front of me turned into blurry blocks of color and lines.

"Let me go! I'll die! I'll really die!"

Margaret, standing nearby, shared a similar fate; her face had already turned pale.

Although they had undergone rigorous training as guardians of Amazon Lily, none of their training exercises involved jumping off a wall hundreds of meters high without any tools!

The wind pressure made it almost impossible for Margaret to breathe, and her blonde hair flew wildly backward. She could only instinctively grab Luffy's arm.

The screams of the two women mingled in the air.

Wow!

Luffy chuckled. He was in pain too, feeling like his body was being scraped by knives, but people who are used to finding joy in hardship have a different mindset.

In terms of willpower and perseverance.

He's not exaggerating.

Perona felt like her soul was about to leave her body in fright. Several translucent little negative ghosts actually floated out of her mouth, but were immediately blown away by the falling airflow.

A few seconds later.

boom!

With a dull thud, a shallow crater was created in the ground, and dust flew up.

Luffy bent his knees slightly and landed steadily. His rubber body perfectly absorbed all the impact, and he didn't even sway.

He loosened his arms, but the two women he had wrapped around were not so lucky.

Perona collapsed to the ground with a thud, her eyes turning into swirls, and a miniature, spinning white ghost floating from her mouth. She looked completely dizzy.

After a long while, the miniature ghost disappeared with a pop. She gasped for breath, struggled to her feet, grabbed Luffy's collar, and tearfully accused him:

"Hey! Couldn't you have given me a heads-up?! My heart was pounding in my chest!"

"I've already notified them."

Luffy innocently covered his straw hat, which had almost been ripped off, and blinked: "Didn't I just tell you?"

Is that what you call a notification?

Perona almost cried from anger.

She suddenly felt an inexplicable empathy for the Straw Hat crew members she had only met once on Thriller Bark.

How strong a heart and how adaptable must one be to follow a captain who is completely unpredictable?

If that fierce, ruthless navigator she was talking about were here, he would definitely pat her on the shoulder with a weary expression and remind her:

"When it's safe, staying next to the captain is the most dangerous thing."

Luffy looked at Margaret, who was slumped on the ground not far away, and asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

“What do you think?!” Margaret’s legs were still trembling.

Does this man even know how high it is?

Even a sea king with a hard body would still die if it fell from that height.

Margaret looked at Luffy as if he were a monster. "How can you ask such a question without batting an eye?"

She really thought she was going to die!

She touched her arms and legs, confirming that they were still intact and connected to her body; it was nothing short of a miracle.

"Well, this kind of thing happens all the time," Luffy said with a chuckle.

He did not lie.

Zoro and his crew have a lot to say about this.

If you have time, introduce yourselves; you might find some common ground.

"Let's get down to business,"

Luffy slowly approached Margaret. "I actually have something I want to ask you."

"Don't come any closer!"

As Luffy approached, Margaret jumped in fright, drew her short sword, pointed the tip at him, and shouted, "Don't come near me!"

She stared intently at Luffy, recalling the unbelievable scene from just moments ago, her mouth agape as if a switch had been flipped.

"Your arms seemed to have grown longer just now!"

And how could someone jump from such a height and be completely unharmed?

"No way! Are you out of your mind?! You actually jumped from that height!"

It took her a moment to realize what was happening, and she practically yelled the last sentence.

Perona, standing next to her, nodded vigorously in deep agreement; finally, someone understood how she felt!

"After all, it seems that people from your country have some misunderstandings about us,"

Luffy shrugged and explained, "If we don't run away, the casualties will be too high if we start fighting."

Our casualties?

Luffy's words struck Margaret as somewhat absurd; they were the guards of this country, elite warriors.

Looking at the man's confident demeanor and the fact that he was unharmed after jumping from such a height, she suddenly didn't know how to refute him.

"As for the ability to grow longer, it's because I ate the Gum-Gum Fruit. Don't you know what a Devil Fruit is?"

Luffy took two more steps closer.

"Don't come any closer!"

Margaret nervously brandished her dagger. "Men all carry viruses! Are Devil Fruits pathogens?"

Perona pursed her lips.

She felt that these women seemed to lack even more common sense than she, a homebody who had spent so many years holed up in the horror movie "The Terror Ship".

This country is so closed off.

"It looks like it will be difficult to explain,"

Luffy scratched his head, but still emphasized seriously, "But I want to emphasize one point: men do not carry the virus!"

"Then what's that down there?"

Margaret's cheeks flushed slightly.

She didn't know if she should ask, but she asked anyway.

Even as a warrior, she was incredibly curious, her gaze unconsciously drifting towards Luffy's crotch. She had noticed before that it was bulging, completely different from theirs.
