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

"Anyway, she's just stupid." She stuck out her tongue.

"Then let's try again." Luffy raised an eyebrow. He never admitted defeat; he always won and won, and the feeling of being numb from winning was always better than losing.

We'll take down that mere Uta!

The two exchanged a glance, and then Uta turned and ran. Luffy was incredibly fast; Uta would need to work for another hundred years to catch up. They weren't kids anymore, both of them were novices. Of course, Luffy wasn't taking it too seriously, otherwise it would seem like he was bullying him.

"Hey, if you go any slower you won't be able to keep up. Should I let you off the hook?" Luffy said with a smug smile.

"Hey, Nami, what are you doing out here?"

Uta suddenly shouted, and Luffy turned around sharply, but he couldn't even see a shadow of him.

"Good grief, he cheated again," Uta said, running and laughing.

It feels like I've gone back to my childhood.

It's been so many years and it's still the same. That's why they say the bond between childhood sweethearts is the most precious. Every little thing brings back so many memories. It's so much better than before.

As she ran, Uta hid, but was quickly found, which greatly surprised her.

"My Observation Haki allows me to sense the entire ship," Luffy said matter-of-factly, shrugging his shoulders.

Uta: "......."

Forgot that this guy is already the Emperor of the Sea.

Uta couldn't help but say, "No, no, using Haki is cheating!"

"Huh? But you cheated just now too."

"That's called tactics!"

"Isn't that cheating too?"

"no the same!"

As it turned out, it was quite easy for the Sea Emperor to win. After the game, the two lay down on the deck in a starfish shape and smiled at each other.

Uta looked at Luffy beside her and thought she might have been a little too anxious. The situation wasn't that serious, but seeing Nami and Luffy so close made her feel uncomfortable.

I was the one who arrived first, so why is that woman so far ahead?

But now that I think about it, being childhood sweethearts is an advantage too.

We understand each other and share common memories.

These are things that others cannot compare to.

So, just take it slow.

Anyway, there's plenty of time later.

Before Uta could say anything more, Luffy patted his head and said he was going to train.

Cultivating late at night?

Uta knew Luffy worked hard, but she didn't expect him to be this hard. When she woke up early the next morning, she saw Luffy sparring with Zoro. The two were fighting fiercely. "Zoro, is that Haki? It doesn't seem like it."

"I don't know either, as long as it works." Zoro's back transformed into a three-headed, six-armed form.

Even Hawkeye finds this power strange; it's a power system unique to Zoro, and no one else has used it yet.

That's how the ocean is; it contains all sorts of power systems.

The Navy's Six Styles also evolved into a system through continuous exploration.

Of course, the most important thing for anyone who wants to learn Zoro's power is to be able to endure hardship.

Luffy asked with great interest, "Could you teach me too?"

Zoro grinned and said, "Of course I'd be happy to be the idiot captain's teacher, but let me have some fun first."

The collision between the two even changed the weather; the waves on the distant sea became less gentle, and even the wind force and direction began to change.

"You two idiots, how many times have I told you not to use your Haki to fight on the Sunny!"

Nami sensed the unusual weather in her room, and when she came out, she was shocked to find the sky was about to fall. These two idiots don't even know their current level. Luffy is one thing, but Zoro is now able to fight Admiral Fujitora.

Who knows what might happen if two people bump into each other casually?

Luffy and Zoro had no choice but to stop and get busy.

The rule on the ship is now that you have to deal with the problems you caused.

“A large patch of dark clouds is coming from over there,”

Nami stood on the ship's railing, pointing solemnly into the distance. "It looks like a storm. We're really unlucky. A storm of this magnitude is rare."

Luffy followed her gaze and saw a large patch of dark clouds piled up on the horizon, pressing down like a mountain.

A strange black storm was also mixed in with the dark clouds, and it was moving rapidly in this direction.

Luffy said seriously, "Hey, Zoro, this is all caused by your ghostly aura, isn't it?"

"Huh? Why do I have to take the blame again? Even in a place like the New World, storms happen all the time. Besides, aren't we going to the Big Moon Pirates' territory?"

Zoro's words startled Uta.

Go to Big Mom's territory?

"Wait, wait, wait,"

Uta quickly sat up on the deck, looking at Luffy with a blank expression. "We're going to Whole Cake Island? To Big Mom's territory? What for?"

Isn't that one of the Four Emperors?

Is Luffy planning to lead his crew to fight Big Mom?

Luffy then remembered that Uta had just joined the crew and didn't know about this. He pulled out an exquisite invitation card from his pocket, which was printed with the logo of the Big Mom Pirates.

"I ran into Katakuri of the Big Mom Pirates on my way to Eregia, and he gave me this invitation to the tea party. Sanji has some things to take care of, Germa 66 and his father's business. As the captain, I can't just ignore it."

Uta took the invitation and looked at it over and over.

A tea party for middle-aged women?

She had heard about it because the letters from fans contained information about upcoming events. Uta's fans came from all over the world, and there were all sorts of people, some of whom were even qualified to attend the tea party.

Luffy has already declared war on the Big Mom Pirates. Judging from Katakuri's attitude, he seems to want to ease tensions with Luffy. As for whether a war will actually break out, we'll have to see how things develop.

Want to fight?

Then hit!

They're just the Four Emperors, it's not like I haven't fought them before. Luffy's current goal is to fight all of the Four Emperors.

Uta covered her mouth in surprise.

Only now did she truly realize what kind of pirate crew she had joined, and acknowledge her identity as a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.

The Four Emperors.

Those are the Four Emperors.

The strongest beings standing at the pinnacle of this vast ocean are those whose every move can cause earthquakes in the sea.

The Big Moon Pirates are no stranger to anyone.

However, with the addition of Uta as a newcomer, Luffy still explained the composition of the Big Moon Pirates.

The three generals are undoubtedly the most important.

However, Zoro and his crew have already fought on Fishman Island, so they are not afraid at all, not to mention the addition of Kuzan, a top-tier fighter, later on.

The women under the old woman's command are quite capable as ministers, and it seems that many of them are Devil Fruit users.

"Don't worry too much, I've gathered quite a bit of intelligence recently,"

Vivi walked over, holding a stack of intelligence documents. "There are some things we really need to pay attention to."

It seems the Beasts Pirates have been in contact with Big Mom recently. The specifics are unclear, but such sudden contact between two Yonko is definitely not a good thing.

"Oh dear."

Upon hearing this news, Kuzan, who was leaning against the ship's railing, removed his blindfold and yawned. "Could it be that the two Yonko are planning to cooperate? This is really troublesome."

Although he was a former Marine Admiral, he still paid close attention to the movements of pirates. Big Mom and Kaido are both veterans from the Rocks Pirates; if they were to cooperate, it would be quite possible. If they really joined forces, it wouldn't be as simple as one plus one equals two.

Luffy grinned, "What's there to be afraid of? We can just fight two Yonko together."

Kuzan scratched his head. "Although you say that, Luffy, we can't really let you face two Yonko all by yourself."

How could the captain be left to face this situation alone?

He and Zoro can take on one of them, while Luffy deals with the other. That should be fine.

Luffy, on the contrary, was very interested in fighting two Yonko at the same time, saying, "I think I can take on both of them by myself."

"No way," Nami immediately objected.

"why?"

"Because you are the captain."

Nami glared at him. "A captain should act like a captain. He has to shoulder everything himself. What's the point of having us crew members?"

Luffy pursed his lips, but didn't refute it further.

That makes sense, but we have to implement it according to the specific circumstances. If everyone gets bogged down by the two Yonko's subordinates, wouldn't we have a legitimate reason to take down the two Yonko?

At this moment, Nami's expression gradually turned serious as she looked at the increasingly thick dark clouds on the horizon, her brows furrowing more and more tightly.

Something's not right.

"What's wrong?" Luffy asked.

“That cloud looks strange,” Nami said.

She used the Cloud Fruit to sense the cloud layer, which was thick and large, and contained an astonishing amount of energy, unlike an ordinary storm.

"Can we go around it?" Sanji asked.

There's no way around it.

Nami shook her head and said, "That cloud cover is too large. At our speed, it would take us at least several more hours to get around it. Besides, in a place like the New World, taking a detour isn't necessarily safe."

However, it should just be a storm; although it's a bit large, it's still within a controllable range.
