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

Chopper, hiding behind Nika, couldn't help but ask, "Lily, what else can you do?"

It has various forms and changes, just like itself.

“I have another special skill: I can transform into a miniature form and sneak into the enemy’s body, then grow to a gigantic size and burst them apart,” Lili said.

"Oh, I've used that trick before too." Luffy laughed. "Kaido was also in a lot of pain when he was stretched like that, but that guy's body is too strong, he couldn't break through it."

Kaido?

Lili paused for a moment, wondering why the name sounded so familiar.

Nami's sudden question interrupted her thoughts.

"Lili, why did you come to our ship?"

"You still ask why? You suddenly appeared while I was waiting for someone here."

"But who are you waiting for in a place like this?"

"Waiting for my old man..."

Lily suddenly let out a wail, and then her head seemed to grow bigger. "This isn't the time to do this kind of thing!"

"Calm down, there's something wrong with your form. Your body and head are not in harmony right now."

It took Lili a while to calm down.

"Dad? Are you looking for your relatives?"

Luffy asked, "Who is your father?"

This question seemed to have hit a nerve with Lily, and she laughed triumphantly, "My dad is the world's number one pirate chef!"

Number one in the world?

Pirate chef?

Upon hearing this, Sanji was no longer sleepy. "Miss Lily, what's your father's name?"

“Panze Frey!”

Sanji nodded. "I knew I'd heard that name before."

Luffy asked, "Is it that famous?"

Lily nodded: "He's a celebrity when it comes to volcano cuisine."

Volcano cuisine?

The mention of food woke Luffy up completely. "What's that? Is it tasty?"

Lily looked utterly captivated. "Of course, just thinking about it is..."

For example, her favorite is grilled seafood.

The magical spices found only near volcanoes are salt crystals formed over hundreds of millions of years in the salt crevices. When you add these spices to the meat of a marine animal and put it into the volcanic pool, it will be cooked in no time!

Luffy immediately pictured it: "It tastes so good!"

"Not only that, the best part is still..."

Luffy and Lily, being fellow food enthusiasts, started chatting enthusiastically, seemingly having a lot to talk about in this area.

“Panze Frye, I’ve heard the rumors about him.”

According to Robin, this giant was a pirate who often stole food from the government, the navy, and pirates, and made delicious food for hungry people and enjoyed it.

Is that a pirate?

This question involuntarily popped into Kuzan and Gion's minds. After boarding Luffy's ship, they seemed to unconsciously begin to think about things from a different perspective.

Giants like these help ordinary people.

"He's a hero!"

Usopp and the others exclaimed in surprise.

"What kind of hero is this? It makes me feel embarrassed."

Lily scratched her head, saying this while still looking pleased, but quickly became anxious again, "Now is not the time to be embarrassed!"

Nami urged Lili to quickly explain the current situation.

Lily and her father, Panz Frye, were both pirates. The reason they came out together this time was actually to go to Uta's concert.

"Uta's concert?"

Luffy's eyes lit up. "You're a fan of Uta too?"

"Of course!"

Lili nodded vigorously, "Uta's songs are the best. I finally had the chance to go to the live show, but my dad suddenly disappeared a few days ago."

She lowered her head and remained silent for a while. "I heard she was captured by the navy."

"what?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Afterwards, Lily went to the island to gather a lot of information and learned from the newspaper that her father had been captured and taken to Impel Down.

"Why were you captured and taken to a place like that?" Luffy frowned.

That's a place I know very well.

Two years ago, he caused a huge disturbance there to rescue Ace, shattering the myth that Impel Down was invincible. But even he had to admit that for ordinary pirates, being imprisoned there was practically the end of their lives.

Lily was a little downcast. "My dad is a wanted criminal with a bounty of 320 million Berries."

More than 300 million?

The Straw Hat crew couldn't help but look at Chopper, as it seemed that everyone else in the crew had a bounty higher than that number.

Chopper was somewhat embarrassed and angry at being stared at.

The World Government and the Navy are definitely targeting us on purpose!

"In the process of constantly seizing food from the government and the navy, things have unknowingly turned out this way."

Lily said, "After arriving in this sea area, we encountered terrible weather, and the boat we were on broke apart. Finally, we came to your boat. We were so hungry that we..."

"So they stole our food." Sanji continued, his tone much gentler.

He and Lili's father, both chefs, shared the same consensus that no one should go hungry.

Lili lowered her head. "I'm sorry, I'll find a way to make it up to you."

She looked up and said earnestly, "I will repay you all once I rescue my father!"

Luffy said with a serious expression, "Being captured and sent to a place like Impel Down is no joke."

Lili shook her head. "No, I heard later that my father was taken to this area of ​​the sea."

This sea area?

"So the navy is coming this way, right?"

Luffy grinned and said, "I've made up my mind. I'm going to save Lily's father."

"Really? Really?"

"Of course, we're going to Uta's concert anyway."

Luffy laughed and said, "If you have nowhere to go when the time comes, come aboard my ship."

Nami couldn't help but roll her eyes.

The true intentions have been revealed.

Luffy has definitely set his sights on that world's number one chef.

However, with more and more people on the ship, Sanji is under a lot of pressure to cook. Luffy goes without saying, he has a huge appetite, and then there's Shirahoshi. Even though she's become smaller with the help of the Merry, she still eats like a giant mermaid.

Just then, the weather here changed dramatically, and white fog appeared all around.

"They're here! It seems Lily's father is indeed highly regarded by the Navy, as they've actually dispatched four massive warships."

Luffy looked ahead, and sure enough, not long after, four warships appeared in the thick fog. In the center of the warships was a huge wooden boat, and a giant was bound by iron chains with a hood covering his head.

"Let me make the first move."

Jinbe's expression changed, and he immediately jumped into the water, unleashing a "Sea Current Shoulder Throw!"

boom!

Wow~

A jet of water shot straight over and crashed into one of the warships, causing waves to rise and the warships to rock violently.

"Enemy attack!"

"Enemy attack!"

The sailors on the naval ship belatedly sounded the alarm, and hurriedly took out their weapons to prepare for battle.

"what happened?"

The person in charge of this pirate transport was Vice Admiral Momonga from the Marine Headquarters, who was immediately drawn to it.

Even in the New World, there aren't many forces that would dare to launch an attack against four naval warships at once; they can't be some reckless fool.

No pirate who manages to come to the New World is a fool.

When he looked at it, he almost had a headache: "The Straw Hat Pirates?!"

Luffy couldn't resist the urge to fight. He stretched out his rubber arms and boarded the Navy warship. Then, he extended his legs and swept them away, knocking away more than a dozen Navy soldiers who rushed over from the deck.

"Straw Hat Boy!" Vice Admiral Momonga drew his sword and said, "Why are you here?"

Just a few days ago, they were fighting Whitebeard to the death, and even the island sank.

"Oh, it's you."

A familiar face to the Vice Admiral of the Navy Headquarters; I owe him a lot for guiding me into Impel Down.

"Are you in charge of this escort?"

Luffy tilted his head, looked at the flying squirrel, and grinned, "I want that giant."
