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

"No,"

Zoro replied, recalling the experience of being grabbed and launched by Luffy, looking constipated again, "Anyway, we're fast enough, so we should have shaken them off."

"Then why didn't they catch up?" Franky was also puzzled.

Given the Navy's style, they should be willing to do anything to hold them back.

Luffy's Observation Haki spread out, sensing everything that was happening on the Sabaody Archipelago, and then he couldn't help but laugh:

"They seem to have received quite a bit of hospitality."

......

Meanwhile, throughout the Sabaody Archipelago.

"This is the third reinforcement squad! Can you hear me? Please respond!"

The communications soldier shouted into the Den Den Mushi, but all he got in response was a noisy electrical hum and a strange buzzing sound.

"What's wrong? What happened?"

The officers at command pressed for answers.

"Look, it seems we won't be able to make it to GR 67."

"Why?!"

"Because a giant insect suddenly blocked our way!"

"Huh? Insects?!"

On a main road, a group of naval soldiers watched in horror at what they were seeing.

Giant rhinoceros beetles, stag beetles, mantises, and other insects formed a wall of insects that completely blocked the road.

These insects are all monstrous in size, with hard exoskeletons and immense strength, making them impossible to deal with using ordinary weapons.

In the shadows, a man whose body was completely covered was sniffling and silently watching everything.

"I won't let you interfere with Usopp's new journey."

He said in a low voice, his eyes glistening with tears.

"Men don't need tears when they part! Best of luck, Usopp."

He is Hercules, the insect master, who was a partner Usopp met while training on the Boin Islands.

Over the course of two years, he taught Usopp about various plants and insects, and they also forged a deep friendship.

Today, he bid farewell to Usopp in his own way.

......

"This is the fourth squad! It suddenly started raining, and the gunpowder is all soaked and unusable!"

"Rain? What rain? It's been sunny all day in the Sabaody Archipelago!"

In one area, the naval soldiers did indeed experience rain.

But it was only raining in their area; the surrounding area was sunny.

The rain was quite heavy, soaking all their gunpowder and ammunition, turning their muskets into fire pokers.

And above the Sabaody Archipelago, there is a small floating island.

Scientists on Visalia Weather Island are manipulating the weather.

"Please don't let it thunder; it would be bad if it hit the citizens," said an elderly scientist.

"The soap bubbles here are such a nuisance. By the way, a lucky wind blew up and just happened to drift over to the Sabaody Archipelago," another scientist laughed.

“That’s because Nami is a good girl,” the third scientist remarked.

The scientists here all really like Nami.

Two years ago, Nami was filmed by Kuma and ended up in Visalia, where she studied meteorological science.

Today, everyone helped this wonderful young woman set sail smoothly in their own way.

......

"Answer me now, Fifth Squad! What are you doing?!"

"We are facing obstacles in our journey to our destination."

In a certain alley, a group of naval soldiers are engaged in a fierce battle.

No, it wasn't a hard fight, it was torture.

Their opponents are a group of transgender people!

"What do you mean by daring to refuse our invitation?!"

"Are you shy? Don't be shy~"

"Let's have a cup of tea together!"

The members of NEWKAMA Land are warmly inviting the naval soldiers to a tea party.

Any soldier who tries to refuse or resist will be forcibly kissed and immediately lose consciousness.

"Help!"

"Don't come any closer!"

"mom!"

The screams of the naval soldiers echoed through the alley.

......

"Luffy, I'm ready."

Nami glanced at the Log Pole on her wrist, checked the coating's condition again, and then looked at Luffy:

"Please give the instructions, Captain."

"Oh, is it ready?" Luffy smiled and walked towards the bow of the ship.

But at that moment, he suddenly stopped, and a red light flashed in his eyes.

The Observation Haki sensed something.

"I said something was missing,"

Luffy looked towards the distant coastline, his smile turning excited. "They've really come."

Everyone followed his gaze.

Along the coastline, a green figure was rushing towards them at a terrifying speed. Wherever the person passed, countless thick trees and vines sprang up from the ground, propelling him forward.

Admiral Aramaki, Green Bull, of the Navy Headquarters!

"Seriously, you bunch of guys, you're still standing here after hearing my name?"

As he advanced, Aramu casually attacked any pirates who tried to stop him along the way.

Most of those pirates were unlucky guys who had been tricked into gathering together by the fake Straw Hat crew, and they were powerless against Aramaki.

Their bodies were entangled and pierced by trees, their moisture drained, turning them into shriveled corpses.

"Fleet Admiral Akainu said he wouldn't allow you sinful pirates to go to the New World!"

Huang Mu laughed loudly, and his body began to deform.

His limbs became thick tree trunks, his skin became tree bark, and his hair became lush branches and leaves.

In just a few seconds, he transformed from a tall man into a giant tree doll that was thirty meters tall!

"Forest Fruit - Forest Giant Form!"

Aramaki looked down at the terrified pirates on the shore, including one of the Supernovas, Wet-haired Caribou, without a trace of pity in his eyes.

"Human beings are so insignificant in the face of nature!"

The pirates attacked relentlessly, slashing with swords, shooting with guns, and even using Devil Fruit abilities, but when they hit Aramaki, it was like pruning a tree—completely ineffective.

Instead, their bodies were pierced by the extending branches, their moisture was sucked away, and they quickly withered.

"Monster!"

"The generals are all monsters!"

The pirates collapsed and scattered in all directions.

But Huang Mu didn't give them a chance. Countless vines surged from the ground, entangling and draining the fleeing pirates one by one.

However, just as Aramu was about to continue forward to intercept the Thousand Sunny, he suddenly stopped.

An indescribable sense of oppression came from the direction of the coast.

That's Conqueror's Haki!

And it's not just your average Conqueror's Haki!

A palpable pressure, accompanied by black and red lightning, swept over like a tidal wave. Wherever it passed, the air trembled, the ground cracked, and even the leaves on Huang Mu's body began to move without wind.

"What, what is that?"

Huang Mu's eyes widened.

Black and red Conqueror's Haki lightning directly wrapped around his body, and Huang Mu felt his body trembling.

It's like the shivering instinct a biological creature feels when facing a top predator!

"I can't move?!"

He tried to take a step, but his feet seemed rooted to the ground.

Moreover, after transforming into a giant form, it was immediately reverted to its original form by this Conqueror's Haki.

"Conqueror's Haki? You're Straw Hat Luffy?"

Huang Mu gritted his teeth and looked at the Thousand Sunny on the distant sea.

He was still far away and could only see a blurry silhouette of a ship, but the source of that domineering aura was undoubtedly there.

On the deck, Luffy stood at the bow, his eyes flashing red under his straw hat.
