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

Luffy's body is changing again.

His hair grew longer, and the white steam and electric arcs leaping around him became more concentrated.

At the same time, the milky white vibrating light shield rapidly expanded, enveloping most of his body. Inside the light shield, the space was filled with cracks, like a shattered mirror.

The outermost layer is an intense, overwhelming black and red color.

The three forces, which were completely different in nature but were forcibly integrated by him, reached a delicate balance in him, and the energy level continued to rise.

"Then, let's try this one."

Shock the world!

The fist, enveloped in chaos, slammed forward.

Click.

A terrifying, visible crack spread forward.

It distorted the light and swallowed the sound.

The attack seemed to hit Gion, who coughed up a mouthful of blood and her consciousness began to fade.

You absolutely must take him away!

"It's broken a little, not completely broken? This is a problem."

Luffy muttered to himself.

Driven by her remaining power, she made a final struggle, binding their bodies together.

A giant white cocoon enveloped and swallowed them, causing both of their bodies to vanish into nothingness.

Not far away, Perona and Hancock, who had just repelled the naval warship, ran over.

"Lord Luffy?!" Hancock's eyes widened.

call out!

Just as the two figures were about to completely disappear, a faint white light was kicked out from the spatial turbulence, fell to the ground with a thud, and rolled twice.

"Baka! Can't you show some respect for the gods!" the tanuki said, somewhat annoyed.

Hancock looked closer and realized it was Nika!

She completely lost her usual elegance and arrogance, rushed forward, grabbed Nika with both hands and shook her violently, her voice trembling with tears.

"Where is Lord Luffy?! Where did that damned woman take Lord Luffy?!"

"Stop shaking me! I'm going to throw up, I really am going to throw up."

Nika was so dizzy from being shaken that her limbs and tail swayed weakly, and her eyes rolled back.

Perona also floated over anxiously, her little face filled with panic.

Why did Luffy and that Marine woman disappear? Did they elope?

She blurted out this outrageous guess, and even she herself thought it was impossible.

Hearing this, Hancock glared at Perona, but she didn't have time to argue with her now. She just looked at Nika with even more anxiety.

Nika finally managed to break free from Hancock's clutches. After landing, she shook her slightly dizzy head, closed her eyes, and seemed to be sensing something.

Although her form is separated from Luffy's, as the embodiment of Nika's will, there is still a mysterious and profound connection between her and Luffy, a connection that can even transcend the barriers of time and space to a certain extent.

A moment later, Nika opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of stale air. "It's alright, that kid is tough, he won't die."

Upon hearing the words "she won't die," Hancock and Perona both breathed a sigh of relief, but their hearts remained in their throats.

It's good that you're alright.

Nika scratched her head with her little paws, then changed the subject, "However, it might be a while before we see each other again."

"How long is a period of time?!"

Hancock's heart, which had just settled, jumped again, and she hurriedly asked, "What exactly did that despicable navy woman do?!"

Nika said, "That woman's ability is to take Luffy to the future."

"We've gone to the future?!"

Hancock and Perona exclaimed in unison.

"No, it's going back to the past."

Chapter 401 Back to the Past, Art is an Explosion!

Instead of going to the future, we went back to the past!

Nika's expression became somewhat subtle, as if she wanted to laugh but felt the occasion was inappropriate.

"That Marine underestimated how reckless Luffy was. The power of his awakened Devil Fruit was shattered by Luffy, and time shifted slightly," Nika said.

Even across time and space, she can now vaguely sense Luffy's current situation.

It's lucky that Gion didn't die.

The ultimate Haki and Conqueror's Haki, combined with Nika's punch from the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

The blows didn't hit Gion, but rather the surrounding space.

That's why Nika, who wasn't marked by the Time Fruit, was kicked out, and the two of them are now time traveling.

We did not go to the future.

Instead, we've gone back to the past?!

"Which past? Will Lord Luffy be in danger?"

"Danger?"

Nika thought for a moment, "With that kid's current strength, what danger could he possibly encounter?"

"When will Lord Luffy be able to return?"

Nika's expression gradually became strange, perhaps because of time, space, and the Devil Fruit; she knew what Luffy was currently experiencing.

"Anyway, he...they will be back in the same spot a year from now."

"A year?!"

Hancock's voice suddenly rose in pitch.

That damn woman!

The thought that a year of precious time she had planned to spend getting closer to Luffy had vanished because of that Marine woman's meddling made Hancock tremble with rage.

She gritted her teeth, wishing she could drag that woman out and tear her to pieces.

Seeing Hancock jumping up and down in anger, Perona's mood, which had been low because of Luffy's disappearance, suddenly improved for some reason, and she even felt like laughing.

She couldn't help but complain, "Hey, Hancock, didn't your promise to Luffy already end?"

"How can they be the same!"

Hancock turned her head sharply, her beautiful eyes glaring at Perona, but her cheeks were slightly flushed.

The agreement may have ended, but feelings can continue to grow stronger.

This year should have been a pivotal period when her relationship with Lord Luffy was rapidly developing and they were inseparable!

Originally, her relationship with Luffy didn't even need that agreement... they could do whatever they wanted, they were more like husband and wife than husband and wife.

But now...

"My child," Hancock cried, tears welling in her eyes.

"what?!"

Nika stood up and couldn't help but complain, "Do you guys want to have kids after playing like that? It's so intense, they've already been shattered."

"Shattered? What do you mean?" Hancock was stunned for a moment, then quickly grabbed Nika.

"Hey, don't you guys know?"

Sperm!

Those tiny, fragile, and extremely sensitive nascent life forms must have a tough time surviving.

Every time Luffy had close contact with them, he used the Tremor-Tremor Fruit's power, which completely destroyed his life force.

Those who could survive in that situation wouldn't just be considered kings, they would be absolute monsters.

"I thought you all knew, after all, Luffy is pretty good at medicine, he should have some common sense about this, right?"

Luffy: "???"

I can't reach it.

Most of the time, the cerebrum controls the cerebellum.

Nika's words struck Hancock like a bolt from the blue, leaving her stunned and speechless.

Is that the reason?!

It's not that she didn't work hard enough, or that Luffy wasn't diligent enough, but rather it's because of the power of the Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Upon closer reflection, it seems that it was Hancock herself who initially proposed this condition.

Seeing Hancock's wonderful expression, from shock to realization, then to despair, and finally to shame and indignation, Perona couldn't help but burst into laughter, clutching her stomach.

"Hahaha, that's hilarious! Hancock, you idiot, you love playing with vibrations, and now look what happened! Hahaha, isn't this all your own fault?"

"Perona, do you want to fight me?!" Hancock was completely enraged, her cheeks flushed red, and she reached out to grab Perona's face.

This is the most common way they fight.

"Huh?! You think I'm afraid of you? Come on!"

Perona also lost her temper. She had been holding back her anger and worry because of Luffy's sudden disappearance, and now she finally found an outlet for it.

Not to be outdone, she reached out and pinched Hancock's delicate, beautiful face.
