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

A large number of naval forces are also assembling on land. Although the progress has been delayed due to various unforeseen circumstances, the number is still considerable.

"Let's go then."

Luffy said, then looked at Perona, "Hold on tight."

"Huh?" Perona was taken aback.

She instinctively hugged Luffy's neck from behind, pressing her entire body against his back. After two years of training on Amazon Lily, she had become quite used to this action.

Zoro and Sanji suddenly felt a sense of foreboding.

Sanji's lips twitched slightly: "Hey, do you mean to..."

Zoro's eyelids twitched violently: "Don't joke around, it's still a long way off."

Before the two could finish speaking, they felt Luffy's arm firmly grab their bodies.

Luffy grabbed one in each hand.

"rubber,"

Luffy crouched down, his legs began to compress and deform, like a spring storing power.

"Wait! Luffy! No!" Sanji shouted in terror.

"Let's try a different approach! Let's run there!"

Zoro panicked too.

"Launch launch!"

call out!

The screams of the three pierced the sky.

Luffy's legs, like released springs, unleashed terrifying power.

He grabbed Zoro and Sanji, carried Perona on his back, and launched himself out like a cannonball, disappearing instantly at the end of the street.

Still a familiar taste.

When things are safe, the captain is in the most danger!

All that remained at the scene was the rising dust and the stunned naval soldiers.

The navy personnel, who had just recovered from their negative state, looked at the empty streets and exchanged bewildered glances.

"What was that just now?"

"The Straw Hat crew flew away?"

Should we continue the pursuit?

"What are you going to chase me for! Do you even think you can catch me?!"

......

GR Coast No. 67, Thousand Sunny.

The coated hull shimmered with iridescent colors in the sunlight, and soap bubbles enveloped the entire boat, making it look like a work of art.

The sails are raised, the anchor is lowered, and the ship is ready to set sail at any time.

The deck was bustling with activity.

"Gentlemen, it's been a long time!"

A sound came from high above.

The Soul King Brook, seated on the flying fish of Dibaru, the leader of the Flying Fish Knights, slowly descended onto the deck.

He was still a skeleton, wearing a suit and a top hat, but his demeanor was more composed than two years ago, exuding a star aura.

"Brook!"

Usopp and Franky excitedly surrounded them.

"The superstar Brooke is really back?!"

Usopp's eyes lit up. "I watched your concert live! It was so cool!"

"Yo ho ho ho, of course!"

Brooke laughed smugly, then said seriously, "But no matter how big a star I become, I'll always be the Straw Hat Pirates' musician!"

As he spoke, his gaze swept over the women on the deck.

Robin, Nami, and Vivi are arguably the most beautiful sights in the Straw Hat crew.

Two years have made them more mature and beautiful, each radiating a unique charm.

Following Brook's usual pattern, he would likely ask that classic line:

"Excuse me, may I see what underwear you're wearing today?"

But he swallowed the words back down his throat.

Because he knew that these people had some kind of ambiguous relationship with his captain, Mr. Luffy!

Especially Nami, if he dared to ask that question, he would probably be electrocuted into charcoal by the Weather Stick in the next second.

However, Brooke saw the moon!

As Brook turned to the moon, he bowed politely.

"Excuse me, beautiful lady..."

He had only spoken halfway when a sharp whooshing sound suddenly came from the sky.

boom!boom!boom!boom!

Four figures crashed onto the deck.

Luffy laughed heartily, while Zoro and Sanji beside him looked constipated. Perona was on the verge of tears, pounding her fist on Luffy's chest.

"You should have told me beforehand! I almost thought I was going to die!"

"Haha, I told you."

"Mr. Luffy, hello, it's been a long time." Brook extended his hand.

"Hey, Brooke!"

Luffy's eyes lit up, and he glanced at his feet. "Why are you on the floor?"

Nami flew over and slapped Luffy on the head: "It's all because of you!"

Everyone laughed at the sight.

Two years have passed, and some things remain unchanged.

After the minor skirmish, Luffy straightened up and glanced at each of his crewmates on the deck.

Zoro, with three swords at his waist and a scar over his left eye, exudes an even sharper aura.

Nami has long orange hair, a slender figure, and a beauty that combines the intelligence of a navigator with a touch of the authority of a housekeeper.

Usopp had grown taller and stronger, carrying a huge slingshot and a bulging seed bag on his back.

Sanji still has blond hair, but his eyes now hold a newfound composure.

Chopper is still as cute as ever, but his antlers are thicker and his medkit is more professional.

Vivi, with long blue hair, possesses a princess-like demeanor tempered with resilience. The Wind-Wind Fruit's power allows her to be surrounded by gentle breezes.

Robin has long hair that reaches her waist, styled in a married woman's haircut, and a gentle smile on her face.

Franky went even further, adding many new functions to the robotic arm.

Brook is now the Skeleton Musician, the King of Souls!

In the past two years, everyone has changed a lot.

Behind him were his companions who had been on Amazon Lily for the past two years.

Perona, dressed in a Gothic Lolita outfit, sat on the railing, swinging her legs.

Toki stood quietly beside Robin.

Nika has transformed into a little raccoon dog and is secretly drinking alcohol.

Now only...

Luffy looked up at the sky.

"Luffy! Everyone!"

A voice came from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw an astonishing scene.

A corner of the sky suddenly darkened, and a huge golden warship slowly descended from the clouds. The warship was enormous, golden all over, decorated with intricate patterns, and its prow resembled a crescent moon.

A small figure was jumping off the golden warship and falling vertically.

"Don't leave me behind!"

Luffy laughed heartily and stretched out his hands: "Merry!"

He caught the girl who fell from the sky.

It wasn't the tiny ship spirit Merry, but Merry in her glass form.

She possessed a cool and aloof demeanor, with long, silvery-white hair, glass-like eyes, and wore a simple white dress, resembling a fairy from the moon palace.

But at this moment, the beautiful girl's eyes were red and swollen, and she was tightly hugging Luffy, her voice choked with sobs:

"I miss you so much, Luffy."

In the past two years, she was photographed by a bear in the boundless land, which is the moon.

Although the ship spirit's special ability allows it to communicate with Luffy on the Going Merry to some extent, it's like a Den Den Mushi – they can't see each other, so it lacks warmth.

"Me too."

Luffy hugged her tightly.

“We all are, Merry.”
