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

Devil Fruit users going into the sea?

Isn't that a Zisha (purple clay) pottery?

"Lord Luffy?!"

Hancock realized what was happening and tried to jump over, but Shakky stopped her, saying, "Don't forget you're a Devil Fruit user too, Hancock."

Has lovesickness reached this severe level?

That's true love after all.

"Oh? You actually came up with this kind of ability? Straw Hat, you're quite the genius."

Golden Lion quickly noticed the water that had been stirred up beneath Luffy's feet.

"Haha, the white-bearded uncle's ability is very useful."

Luffy skipped and hopped into the sea, his face beaming with delight.

How long has it been since he last took a sea bath after eating a Devil Fruit as a child and becoming unable to swim?

Although it's not exactly a sea bath, the body is constantly using vibrations to keep the seawater away.

"Perona, why don't you give it a try? It feels great to be in the sea," Luffy invited Perona, who was floating into the sky.

"I'm a Devil Fruit user!" Perona exclaimed, jumping up and down in frustration.

It seems that's really true!

Then enjoy it yourself.

Simply dipping his legs in the shallow sea wasn't enough for Luffy; he wanted to try diving underwater!

"What a monster! As a Devil Fruit user, he's not even afraid of seawater. Hahaha, I wonder what Whitebeard's expression would be if he knew his ability had been developed like this."

The golden lion laughed loudly.

He glanced at Rayleigh beside him, whose expression was strange and somewhat gloomy.

"Hey Rayleigh, are you jealous?"

The golden lion's voice became much louder.

This is in front of Xia Qi!

Back in the day, no one in the Rocks Pirates disliked Shakky, and it was pretty much the same in the Roger Pirates.

Although I don't feel that way anymore, I still find myself unconsciously trying to show my charm in front of someone I used to like.

Overpowering Rayleigh in every way would bring me a certain sense of pleasure!

“No, I’m thinking about something.” Rayleigh frowned.

"what?"

What would happen if someone who ate a Devil Fruit as a child and had never been in contact with seawater suddenly jumped into the sea?

"Of course, that's obvious..."

Golden Lion gaped open and immediately looked in Luffy's direction, "What?!"

I almost forgot that guy can't swim at all!

Rayleigh was about to move when he suddenly stopped.

Huge waves appeared on the distant sea, and a bright blue figure emerged from the water carrying Luffy.

"..."

"It's Jinbe, thank you."

Luffy sat on the ground, breathing heavily.

I almost died!

He was so excited that he forgot he couldn't swim. Although the seawater didn't weaken him, it almost made him drown.

We really do need to respect natural disasters... at least we should learn to swim first!

Jinbe glanced at his large palm. Was that tremor he felt earlier his father's power?

After Luffy's explanation, Jinbe was also speechless.

Devil Fruit powers can actually be developed in this way?

As expected of Mr. Luffy!

"Hey, Jinbe, you're not a Shichibukai anymore, are you? You didn't stay with the Whitebeard Pirates, what are you doing here?" Shiki asked.

According to his understanding, Jinbe and the Whitebeard Pirates have a very good relationship.

"I've come to thank Mr. Luffy. I didn't have time to express my gratitude back in Impel Down," Jinbe said earnestly.

"Hehehe, you're welcome, Jinbe, you're too kind."

"No, Mr. Luffy, thank you very much. Please allow me to do what I can."

"Really, you don't need to."

"Please, please allow this old man..."

"...How about joining us?" Luffy casually asked, recalling how Jinbe had rescued him from the sea earlier.

"it is good."

Luffy: "Huh?"

Jinbe: "Huh? Huh?"

Perona: "???"

I'm taking a day off today, so there's probably no update. Don't wait up, everyone.

Go visit my elders QAQ

Chapter 385 Warring States Period: Do You Want Another War? (Long Chapter of 10,000 Words)

"What did you say?"

Inside the Nine Snake Island, the living room lights were dim.

Grandma New stared at Xia Qi on the sofa in utter disbelief. She wondered if she had misheard what had just happened.

You heard me right.

Xia Qi leaned back lazily on the sofa, a slender cigarette between her fingers, her smile tinged with amusement amidst the swirling smoke.

"What? You can't believe it already? There's something even more amazing to come. If I were to sell all this information I've compiled about Brother Monkey, even the most shrewd information brokers would doubt its authenticity."

"Of course."

Grandma New covered her face and said, "It's hard not to be suspicious about this kind of thing. Anyone would be surprised that such a person is just a pirate who has been at sea for less than a year."

The teacup she held was suspended in mid-air, the tea swaying slightly.

"It's true that there are very few stories of pirates becoming famous at a young age. When my old man Rei was about Monkey's age, he was still wandering around because his house was burned down."

As Shakky spoke, she exhaled a puff of smoke and said, "If you hadn't witnessed almost the entire incident at Impel Down, many people probably wouldn't believe it."

Grandma Niu slowly put down her teacup.

She was processing the news.

"Didn't expect the final battle to take place in Impel Down?"

Amazon Lily was too isolated, and since Hancock hadn't returned before, Granny Newt only received some fragmented information.

It was nothing more than vague information such as the Navy suffering a major defeat in the war and the Whitebeard Pirates breaking through.

Now that Xiaqi has brought back specific information, Granny New feels like she's listening to gibberish.

"I originally thought that the Straw Hats were already at their limit in rescuing Fire Fist Ace," Granny New muttered to herself.

Although Impel Down is an extremely dangerous place, given the Straw Hat crew's strength and abilities, as long as the Navy doesn't relocate Portgas D. Ace beforehand, they might be able to take advantage of the Navy's focus on the Whitebeard Pirates to rescue Ace.

That was the best outcome Grandma New could imagine.

If we can't rescue them from the underwater prison, then we'll have to participate in the massive war at Marine Headquarters.

That level of warfare is extremely dangerous; a single misstep could mean certain death.

Even the Four Emperors wouldn't dare say they could escape unscathed from a battlefield of that scale.

Granny Newe knew of Whitebeard's power, but she still made this judgment.

Was it actually Straw Hat Luffy who caused chaos in that war?

"The fact is, Monkey and Newgate's combined attack almost cost the Navy an admiral-level combatant. It's really a pity in terms of the result."

Shaki exhaled another smoke ring, the smoke rising slowly under the light. "I wonder if Newgate has turned misfortune into a blessing in disguise."

Having lost the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit, his appearance has also changed to resemble that of a demon.

However, his strength was restored to some extent.

Grandma New's pupils suddenly contracted.

"Did Newgate suffer the same kind of attack as Rocks back then? What exactly happened in God Valley back then?"

Grandma New was incredulous. She had only heard bits and pieces about God Valley from Newgate and the others.

Shakky and Granny New are both considered officers of the Rocks Pirates and know some secrets.

They were, in a sense, people who personally experienced that war that changed the entire maritime landscape.

However, only a handful of people have participated in the deeper battles.
