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

Nami leaned closer, trying to pull Luffy away, but found she couldn't budge him at all. She was both amused and exasperated. "Why is it still like this? I can't pull her away."

Merry blinked her glassy eyes and revealed a sly smile:

"Give me a hug, it's been two years."

"Wow!"

Usopp pointed at the enormous golden warship in the sky. "What's the Melina? Your new ship?"

"Those are my subordinates whom I subdued in the boundless land."

Merry enthusiastically introduced, finally letting go of Luffy, but still holding onto his clothes, "Do you still remember that god on Skypiea?"

Sanji, recovering from the aftereffects of the ejection, couldn't help but ask:

"That guy named Enel? A user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit?"

"Yes, he's my subordinate now."

Merry laughed, "And some of the moon's natives and space pirates, I had them send me over."

"That guy has the Logia-type Rumble-Rumble Fruit, right? He seems pretty strong," Luffy said.

He remembered Enel, the man who called himself a god; his abilities were indeed troublesome.

"But I am the goddess of the moon."

"Merry said with a grin."

This has a lot to do with her Devil Fruit.

Zoan type, Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan type, Glass form.

The people on the moon regard her as the moon goddess.

On the moon, her abilities were fully unleashed, even influencing the entire boundless land.

"I know everyone is excited, but now is not the time for reminiscing."

Vivi walked to the side of the ship, looked at the sea, and said with a serious expression, "The warships have surrounded us. We need to set sail quickly."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the roar of artillery fire echoed in the distance.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Several shells landed on the sea near the Thousand Sunny, sending up high columns of water.

"There are three warships approaching from the three o'clock direction."

Franky raised his binoculars. "A medium-sized warship, equipped with at least twenty cannons."

Should we retaliate?

Zoro's hand was already on the hilt of his sword.

Sanji spat out his cigarette butt: "Not a bad opponent. Perfect for trying out some new moves."

Luffy shook his arm:

"I'll do it. I'll use the Tremor-Tremor Fruit to create a tsunami and solve it all at once."

Before he could finish speaking, a magnificent pirate ship suddenly appeared in front of the three warships.

The ship has a long hull, with two huge snake statues at the bow and a nine-skull symbol painted on the sails.

Kuja Pirates!

"One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Pirate Empress?!"

An exasperated naval officer's voice came from the warship, "Get out of the way! Don't stop us from carrying out our mission! Do you want to be an enemy of the World Government?"

A tall figure slowly walked out from the deck of the Kuja Pirate Ship.

Boa Hancock.

She was dressed in a magnificent palace gown, her long, dark hair cascading down like a waterfall, and her stunningly beautiful face seemed to radiate light in the sunlight.

Just by standing there, he attracted everyone's attention.

"Stop making excuses,"

Hancock slightly raised her chin, her tone haughty, "I simply don't want to make way for you."

"You! You're so willful!"

"Is that not allowed?"

Hancock countered with a question, then gently tossed her long hair.

In that instant, all the naval soldiers on the three warships, whether officers or ordinary sailors, blushed, their hearts pounded, and hearts appeared in their eyes; they completely lost their will to fight.

"Lady Hancock is so beautiful!"

"For Lady Hancock, I am willing to betray the Navy!"

"That woman actually came?"

Nami watched this scene through her binoculars, her tone complex, "She's even more beautiful than in the bounty poster."

"The Kuja Pirates, led by the Pirate Empress, are composed entirely of women, making it a veritable matriarchal society."

Robin smiled and said, "Legend has it that she has unparalleled beauty, and anyone who falls for her will be petrified."

"So, Miss Vivi, it's true that you became friends with that empress?"

Sanji looked at Luffy with teary eyes, "Have you really been training properly these past two years?!"

Luffy scratched his face: "Of course, there is."

"I don't believe it!"

Sanji ran to a corner and pounded the ground, yelling, "Why! Why can you train with so many beautiful women! And I can only be with transvestites! This isn't fair!"

"Ready to set sail."

Nami snorted and stopped looking at Hancock.

In the two years, Luffy spent one year with Hancock and the other year traveling through time with Toki Gion.

But now, Luffy is everyone's captain again!

"Hey, the warships over there are coming again."

Zoro pointed in another direction.

Three more warships approached from the nine o'clock direction, clearly attempting to bypass the Kuja Pirates' interception.

"Leave it to me!"

Merry stepped forward, looking up at the golden warships in the sky. "Hey, Enel! I know you can hear me! Take care of those warships!"

On the golden warship, Enel, the former god of the sky islands and user of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, lay on his throne, eating an apple and contemplating how to seize control of the Endless Lands after Merry's departure.

In the past two years, thanks to Merry's special fruit, the boundless land has almost become her divine kingdom.

Despite his formidable strength, Enel had no choice but to yield to Melli, who had the home advantage.

Now that Merry is leaving, that place should be his domain!

Enel originally intended to feign compliance and pretend he hadn't heard Merry's order.

But the moment that thought arose, he suddenly sensed a familiar yet terrifying aura.

It came from that pitifully small boat below.

It's that man.

The man who defeated him two years ago, making him taste defeat for the first time.

Monkey D. Luffy!

Even from such a distance, that aura remained terrifying, even more profound and powerful than it had been two years ago.

Enel had no doubt that if he disobeyed Merry's orders now, that man would appear on the golden battleship in the next second and beat him so badly that even his own mother wouldn't recognize him.

Since that's the case... then let's obey the order one more time.

Anyway, it's just dealing with a few naval warships.

If I can't beat the Straw Hat Pirates, how can I not deal with these Blue Sea Marine monkeys?!

Chapter 429 Green Bull! Fujitora! Even the Admiral couldn't stop them!

Enel stood up, walked to the side of the ship, looked down at the three warships on the sea below, and a wicked smile appeared on his face.

"Thousands of thunders!"

The next moment, the clouds in the sky began to churn and converge, and lightning flashed among them.

The sailors on the three warships suddenly felt a pang of fear and looked up at the sky.

"What is that?!"

"Thunderclouds? It was sunny just a moment ago!"

"No! The shape of that thundercloud is man-made!"

Before he finished speaking, lightning rained down like a waterfall.

Rumble!

Blinding lightning engulfed the three warships, followed by a series of explosions.

In just ten seconds, the three medium-sized warships were reduced to burning wreckage on the sea.

"By the way, did you take care of all the naval forces on land before you came?"

Usopp asked curiously.

Six warships visible on the sea were intercepted; there should have been even more naval vessels on land.

In reality, they did not encounter any large-scale pursuit on their way from the tavern to the coast, except for the occasional small group of troops they met.
