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

Calvin didn't even have time to react before his body began to petrify rapidly from his legs upwards. In just two seconds, he turned into a stone statue, his face still bearing a look of astonishment.

"Humph."

S-Snake Woman curled her lip, making an excuse for her behavior, "This is the consequence of ordering me around without authorization."

In reality, she was simply annoyed that these people were going to attack that man.

The three seraphim beside her watched this scene silently, completely ignoring it. However, they had already made up their minds that the snake woman would fight for the straw hat herself from now on, and they would absolutely not get involved.

Otherwise, they'll end up like Jinbe just now, attacking Luffy only to be attacked by the snake woman in return.

The naval soldiers were completely dumbfounded.

Their interim commander was petrified by his own men?

A second lieutenant asked in a trembling voice, "Should we continue the pursuit?"

No one answered.

S-Snake Woman glanced at the surrounding navy and said calmly, "I'm tired and need to rest."

After saying that, she actually walked to the side and sat down gracefully on a piece of gravel, completely ignoring the hundreds of naval soldiers around her.

The other three seraphim also found their own places, some sitting and some standing, showing no intention of moving.

The sailors looked at each other in bewilderment.

Without a commander, the Seraphim are uncooperative, and the enemy is the Sea Emperor and his elite crew.

"Um, should we try to treat the wounded first?" a military doctor suggested in a low voice.

"Yes, yes! Rescue the wounded!"

"Maintain order! The Sabaody Archipelago is in chaos!"

"Quickly move the statue of former Colonel Calvin to a safe place!"

The naval soldiers quickly found new missions and carried them out with exceptional enthusiasm.

Chasing after the Straw Hat crew?

Let whoever wants to go go, they're not going anyway!

......

Meanwhile, the Straw Hat crew is moving quickly through the streets of the Sabaody Archipelago.

"Oh, bubble wrap? There are so many, what's inside?"

Arriving near a market, Sanji casually picked up several huge bubble bags from the doorway of a shop.

This is a specialty of the Sabaody Archipelago: a portable storage bag made of resin bubble, lightweight yet with a large capacity.

"It's all ingredients,"

Sanji shook the bag in his hand and laughed, "Your appetites must have become even more outrageous in the last two years, right? I'll let you eat your fill later. I've prepared enough supplies for a three-month voyage."

Meat, it's meat!

Luffy's eyes instantly turned into stars.

He's already starting to look forward to it.

Over the course of two years, I've developed some skill at grilling meat, but I'm still not quite on par with Sanji.

He's a professional chef.

"Of course, all kinds of meat. Beef, pork, chicken, fish... and Sky Beast meat, a specialty of Sky Island."

Sanji said proudly, "In addition, all the dessert ingredients that Nami and Robin like, Alabasta-style spices that Vivi likes, Chopper's marshmallows and candies, Usopp's snacks, Franky's cola, Brook's tea, Nika's liquor, and Merry's candies are all prepared."

"Sanji! You're amazing!" Luffy cheered.

"Of course, I'm your chef." Sanji lit a cigarette and casually blew a smoke ring.

Zoro: "Where's my sake?"

Sanji exclaimed, "What were you drinking just now, you directionally challenged person?!"

Just then, a series of rapid footsteps suddenly came from the alleyway ahead.

"Target found!"

"The Straw Hat Pirates are over there!"

"Fire!"

Dozens of naval soldiers poured out from all directions, raising their guns and firing, bullets raining down upon them.

"Tsk, this is never going to end."

Zoro clicked his tongue and placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Sanji also assumed a fighting stance: "It looks like the island is full of Marines now; they've surrounded us."

Just as the two were about to attack, Luffy suddenly smiled and said, "Wait a minute."

The next second, something strange happened.

Countless translucent white ghosts suddenly floated out from around the naval soldiers.

These ghosts varied in size; some covered their mouths and chuckled, some made faces, and some were simply blurry shadows.

"What...what is that?"

"ghost?!"

The sailors panicked, but before they could react, the ghosts passed through their bodies.

In an instant, the fighting spirit of the entire navy vanished.

"Ah, I wish I could become a louse and spend the rest of my life hiding in dog hair."

"Someone like me is just wasting air by living in this world."

"I'm sorry, Mom, I shouldn't have been born."

The naval soldiers knelt down one after another, some burying their faces in their hands and weeping, others lying on the ground drawing circles, all falling into an extremely negative state.

"Negative ghosts!"

Perona's smug voice came from above.

Everyone looked up and saw a girl in a Gothic Lolita dress holding an umbrella, slowly drifting down from the sky.

She has pink pigtails and a delicate face, making her look like a doll.

"What's going on? This lady is a stranger!" Sanji was about to rush over when he saw Luffy greet her.

"Perona, what brings you here?" Luffy asked with a smile.

Perona landed gracefully on Luffy's shoulder, looking quite adept at it.

She couldn't help but complain:

"Shouldn't I be asking you that? What are you dawdling about? After causing such a huge disturbance, do you even want to set sail?"

As she spoke, she pinched Luffy's cheek and grumbled incessantly:

"While I was on the ship, there was a constant stream of navy ships trying to attack it. I used up so much power that I'm almost exhausted!"

"Also, that big-breasted navigator pinched my nose as soon as she saw me. Does she think she has a right just because she has big breasts?"

Perona became more and more aggrieved as she spoke, and the last sentence was almost shouted out.

It seems that the last point is the most important.

It's clear that Nami pinching her nose hurt her a lot.

She was the one who sent out all the information about Luffy on Amazon Lily!

When Sanji saw the beautiful woman, his eyes turned into hearts, and he was excitedly trying to strike up a conversation.

But seeing Perona and Luffy so intimately, with her sitting on his shoulder, pinching his cheeks, and complaining and acting cute, he froze instantly, and then a devilish mask of envy, jealousy, and hatred appeared on his face.

"Luffy!"

Sanji grabbed Luffy by the collar and shook him, "Have you been training with beauties like this for the past two years? That's so unfair!"

"Ah, not really, haha."

Luffy said, "And Hancock, Toki, Gion..."

With each name he called out, Sanji's face darkened further.

"Ahhhhh! You're so lucky!"

Sanji knelt on the ground, pounding his fist on the floor. "Why! Why do I have to spend two years among transvestites! This is not fair!"

Perona was startled by Sanji's exaggerated reaction. She shrank back and hid behind Luffy, whispering:

"Is he alright?"

"It's an old problem, don't worry about it."

Zoro picked at his ear, looking disgusted.

"By the way, let me introduce you."

Luffy lifted Perona out from behind, holding her by the back of her collar like a kitten, and placed her in front of the two of them.

"This is Perona, our new partner. And what about Toki and Gion? I'll explain that to you later. Jinbe is waiting for us on Fishman Island; they're all new members of the ship."

"Hello." Perona waved a little shyly.

Unlike Nami and the others, these two were complete strangers, but she knew they were one of the Straw Hat crew's main forces, and unusually, she restrained her mischievous attitude.

"Let's discuss these things in detail after we set sail,"

Perona quickly recovered and pointed to the remaining sailors who were still in a negative state. "If we don't leave soon, the warships will completely surround this island. Nami sent me to inform you that the ship is ready and can set sail at any time."

"A warship?"

Luffy closed his eyes, and his Observation Haki spread out like ripples.

A few seconds later, he opened his eyes and grinned, "There really are a lot."

At least twenty naval warships have gathered in the waters surrounding the Sabaody Archipelago and are converging on the coast of GR 67 from all directions.
