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

Raleigh did not refute it.

He looked at Luffy and said, "You saw Shanks there too, didn't you?"

"Ah, I saw him, but unfortunately I didn't have much time," Luffy said.

That might not be the best place to make an appointment.

Everyone has their own journey.

Just like Ace, if we meet again on our journey, that's the romance that belongs to pirates!

“I know. That kid has finally completed his mission.”

"mission?"

"what."

Rayleigh gazed out at the sea, his eyes deep and thoughtful. “To entrust the new era to someone worthy of it—that is the mission Roger left him.”

He paused, then smiled and looked at Luffy, asking, "Are you ready to become one of the new Four Emperors?"

The surrounding atmosphere fell silent.

Even Perona covered her mouth and dared not make a sound.

Our captain is going to become one of the Four Emperors?!

"A new Yonko?"

Luffy pictured his crewmates' faces in his mind, smiled, and said, "I don't have any crewmates with me right now, so I have no interest in competing for that position."

Moreover, the Four Emperors are just a transitional position; his ultimate goal is to become the Pirate King!

He really wasn't interested in the title of the Four Emperors.

"A partner?"

Rayleigh smiled, a very happy smile, but shook his head. "The Navy will reserve this position for you, and it can only be for you."

Are there five Emperors among the Four Emperors?

Isn't that normal?

Luffy, who experienced the Impel Down War, is not yet qualified to be called one of the Four Emperors. So the World Government may be planning something big under the guise of the Four Emperors.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see the terrifying network of relationships behind Luffy.

Luffy has already achieved what is most important in becoming one of the Four Emperors.

As for their strength, it is evident to all.

"Tch, that'll really cause trouble later," the Golden Lion said, pursing his lips.

There will be a constant stream of pirates eyeing Luffy's head.

Don't talk about whether someone is strong or not.

When he first landed at God Valley, a group of ordinary pirates clamored to cut off his, Linlin's, Kaido's, and Whitebeard's heads.

Whether it's wanting a bounty or seeking fame and fortune, it's simply the nature of pirates.

Some pirates are afraid of the Four Emperors because of their titles, but many pirates also covet their heads.

"Hmm? The navy caught up here so quickly?"

A red light flashed in Luffy's eyes, and then Rayleigh and the others also looked up and looked back.

Suddenly, the sound of a warship's horn came from afar.

Everyone looked over and saw a naval hospital ship speeding towards them.

A tall figure stood at the bow of the ship, her long, black hair dancing wildly in the sea breeze.

“That guy…” Perona blinked.

Luffy saw it too.

He froze for a moment.

When the warship was still dozens of meters from the shore, the bow of the ship suddenly leaped up.

Her long legs traced graceful arcs in the air, and her high heels stomped through the air, creating an effect reminiscent of moonwalking.

In a few leaps, the figure had already crossed the sea and landed lightly in front of Luffy.

It's Hancock.

"Hey, hey, hey, why are the Seven Warlords of the Sea chasing us so closely? Are they here to fight?" Shiki grinned. "Perfect timing, I haven't had enough of a fight yet."

After seeing Luffy, Hancock was immediately captivated by his stunning good looks.

The vulgar words made her face change instantly. She poked the Golden Lion's nose and cursed, "Shut up, you cripple! Don't disturb my reunion with Lord Luffy!"

"what?!"

At this age, the hot-tempered Leo is no longer the type to be unable to walk past a woman and roll up his sleeves to start a fight.

"We're all on the same side."

Rayleigh supported the Golden Lion's body and backed away.

Luffy also pulled Hancock backward, but because of the height difference, he couldn't support her shoulders and could only hug her waist as he pulled backward.

The aggressive Hancock felt her body touch with the other person and began to breathe slightly, her chest heaving.

No, it won't work.

She recalled their intimate encounter when she went to Impel Down.

Is she about to have a baby?

Her face flushed, and she covered her face, lost in thought.

"This woman is crazy!"

Perona watched as Hancock's small mouth slowly opened wider.

"It seems like he really is sick."

Shakky raised an eyebrow and walked over. "Monkey, leave Hancock with me for now."

"Oh, is Hancock alright?"

When Luffy handed Hancock over to Shakky, his expression suddenly darkened.

Pull it out, but you can't get it out?!

They're hugging too tightly!

“It should be fine. I’ve been through this before.” Shakky smiled and then whispered a few words in Hancock’s ear.

"I...I was rude, Lord Luffy, I'm fine." Hancock immediately stood up, flicked her hair, and resumed her previous mature and elegant demeanor as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Hey, hey, hey, what's going on? Isn't this guy one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?" Shiki pouted.

Rayleigh stroked his beard and smiled without saying a word.

Unexpectedly, is this a fate that even the King of Amazon Lily cannot escape?

As if sensing something, Shakky's gaze fell on him, and Rayleigh coughed and quickly looked away.

"Huh? It's so lively here?"

Luffy looked up into the distance.

The peace of the Sabaody Archipelago was shattered once again, even though they had only been back there for a short time.

"The gunfire is coming from area 1," Xia Qi said after glancing around.

Like a domino effect, deafening cannon fire rang out one after another, followed by flames from explosions rising from the distant mangroves, and thick smoke spreading rapidly.

Immediately afterwards, sporadic gunshots, shouts, and the rumble of collapsing buildings rang out from all directions.

"I didn't expect it to start so soon."

Rayleigh calmly looked in the direction of the commotion. "The Navy suffered heavy losses in Impel Down, and now they don't even have enough manpower to maintain basic order in Sabaody Archipelago."

The bubbles in the Sabaody Archipelago still reflect a dreamlike brilliance under the sunlight, but beneath this dreamlike surface lies a boiling pot of oil.

The signs of the collapse of order came faster than anyone expected.

The outcome of the Impel Down War was broadcast around the world via video Den Den Mushi (snail phone).

The Navy suffered a crushing defeat, the Whitebeard Pirates broke through, and most shockingly, a newcomer named Monkey D. Luffy stood shoulder to shoulder with the legends and declared war on the World Government.

Just as he had predicted, pirates around the world watching the war through video Den Den Mushi had already sensed an opportunity.

Although the Whitebeard Pirates suffered considerable losses, Whitebeard himself survived and Ace was successfully rescued. For the pirates, this battle was more like a morale-boosting victory.

On the Navy's side, Admiral Akainu was seriously injured, the fleet was severely damaged, and Fleet Admiral Sengoku's authority was being questioned.

More importantly, the whole world has seen that the navy has not gained an absolute advantage in the battle of top-level combat power.

Is the navy the strongest force on the high seas?

Once prestige is broken, more and more people will challenge the navy.

The pirates will take advantage of the Navy's weakness to make their move, and the seas will be turbulent for the next year.

Chapter 381 The Seven Warlords of the Sea are all on our side; it would be a miracle if the Navy could win.

"Naval Headquarters is currently preoccupied with its own problems."

Xia Qi exhaled a puff of smoke and said calmly:

"Akainu is seriously injured, Kizaru and Aokiji need to handle the post-war affairs, and Garp is probably being scolded by Sengoku. The Marine branch in Sabaody Archipelago can't control these sharks that smell blood."

"Hmph, just a bunch of small fry."

The Golden Lion scoffed disdainfully, the bandage on his head making him look somewhat comical. "In my prime, this kind of trash wouldn't even be qualified to get close to my ship."

"This isn't your prime either, Shiki."
