One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

"She's such a beauty. I really want to cook her a meal and let her experience my culinary skills."

"The world's number one female swordsman, truly a formidable opponent."

Zoro, slightly drunk, snatched the newspaper from Sanji's hand. He never cared about women, but he had a special fondness for swordsmen. Seeing the description in the newspaper that the other party could wipe out Loguetown with a single sword strike, he knew he couldn't fight him head-on at this moment.

With a new female swordswoman to challenge in his heart, Zoro needs these strong individuals to inspire him and become stronger so that he can surpass these monsters. He, a three-sword style swordsman, is also a monster.

If Guina were still alive, she could probably have grown into a female swordswoman by now.

"I never thought I'd be troubled by knowing the future," Nami said with a wry smile.

Normally, Nami would be overjoyed to know how much money she would earn in the future, but everything changed after she joined a pirate ship and became its navigator.

As one of the two and a half brains of the Straw Hat Pirates, she showed more concern than anything else regarding the information revealed in the sky.

People they wouldn't have met in the original future, but because the plot has been revealed worldwide, more attention will be focused on Luffy and his crew, and they may encounter powerful enemies they've never faced before.

Crocus completely agreed with this. If he hadn't been drawn to the sky, as Laboon's doctor, he would have stayed inside the whale's belly and wouldn't be here to welcome Luffy and his crew, let alone have this dinner party.

"The impact of changing the future is truly significant. In the original future, Loguetown probably wouldn't have disappeared into the sea, and Bucky would have gotten what he wanted."

The more Crocus thought about it, the more he frowned. The changes to the future would affect the fate of many people, and he wondered if they would affect his and Rab's fate.

As for what Buggy wants from Barrett, Crocus, the ship's doctor who joined later, doesn't know either. Even if he's captured and interrogated by the World Government, there won't be any results.

On the contrary, Barrett, who is in Impel Down, will attract great attention from the World Government and the Navy. This warlike guy has been training his body and honing his Haki in prison, which makes him incompatible with the other prisoners on the same level, and he will inevitably suffer some physical pain.

"I don't care about the future, I'm determined to be the Pirate King, Luffy!"

Luffy opened his mouth wide and shouted, his optimistic and adventurous spirit ensuring he never had any worries; if he did, he would solve them with his fists.

When he uttered his signature catchphrase, a sound came from the Going Merry.

"Are you really Straw Hat Luffy?"

When Luffy heard the female captive on the ship calling him, he smiled and waved in response, "I am Straw Hat Luffy. Am I that famous now?"

Miss Wednesday is an undercover agent at Baroque Works. She is Vivi, the princess of Alabasta. However, her current look is her dark history. This punk outfit completely covers up her beauty. Even Sanji, that old pervert, has no interest in a woman dressed like this.

Nami initially didn't believe it; who would believe that a princess of a great nation would be reduced to working for a small studio?

Upon arriving before Luffy, Princess Vivi revealed that a large-scale rebellion was currently taking place in Alabasta, and the mastermind behind it all was Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, who was committing theft of the kingdom.

Along the way, on Whiskey Peak, a group of bounty hunters are preparing to hunt pirates in town. They'll dress up as if to welcome the pirates, throwing them a welcome banquet. During the banquet, they'll drug the pirate crew, knock them unconscious, and then hand them over to the Navy in exchange for the corresponding bounty. This group has been operating here for many years.

Princess Vivi believed Luffy the moment they met, not because she was naive or romantic, but because the Sky Veil had foreshadowed the future, saying that Luffy could defeat Crocodile.

Chapter 27 The mysterious young man

After resting for a day at Twin Capes, navigator Nami learned from Crocus that all the islands on the Grand Line are magnetic, so the compass used in the East Blue cannot be used here. This suddenly touched on a blind spot in the little thief's knowledge.

Fortunately, Mr. 9 and Princess Vivi had a Log Pose to take them to the next island, Whiskey Peak, an island occupied by bounty hunters.

Princess Vivi reveals her true identity, but the shrewd Nami doesn't believe her and even tries to lead them to the enemy's base, which is practically walking into a trap.

However, the Straw Hat crew doesn't have a permanent Pokémon right now. If they're not careful, they might end up in the Calm Belt, where there are countless Sea Kings that they can't possibly handle.

This time, with Princess Vivi, the guide from Baroque Works, Luffy and his crew were not deceived on Whiskey Peak Island. As the captain, Luffy also avoided a misunderstanding and fight with Zoro.

Mr. 8, a Baroque member stationed at Whiskey Peak, is a curly-haired man working for Princess Vivi. With these two traitors working together, the group easily took down hundreds of bounty hunters.

After defeating their opponents and having a big meal here, they encountered reinforcements from Baroque Works that night. The two members, a man and a woman, came to eliminate Princess Vivi. They said that as long as the members found out the true identity of the people who were impregnated by Baroque Works, they would eliminate them. It's ironic that a studio that raises bounty hunters has a boss who is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Princess Vivi, we are only acting under orders. Your return to Alabasta will cause a lot of trouble for the studio."

Mr. 5, the Paramecia-type Bomb-Bomb Fruit user, can also be called the Booger Fruit user because his boogers are endless.

The two started fighting at the drop of a hat. Mr. 5 was picking his nose and shooting out snot that were incredibly powerful bombs. Zoro tested them with his sword and although he cut the snot bombs in two, the bombs' effects were still intact.

"A pirate hunter actually boarded a pirate ship? I'll just crush you to death right here!"

Amidst the blast wave, a blonde woman floated into the air. This was Ms. Valentine, a Paramecia-type Kilogram-Kilogram Fruit user, who could freely adjust her body weight, up to over 10,000 kilograms.

While these two were posing and showing off, Zoro and Luffy each took on one of them, and easily defeated them in just a couple of moves.

The Baroque Works duo relied too much on their Devil Fruit abilities, but they went astray in developing those abilities. In terms of physical combat, they were no match for Luffy and his crew, so it was perfectly normal for them to get a good beating.

With Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentine, two members of the Barrot Studio causing trouble, the Straw Hat crew believed what Princess Vivi had said.

At Princess Vivi's request, Luffy agreed to help. He couldn't tolerate the fact that a member of the Seven Warlords of the Sea was destroying a country.

The sight of Princess Vivi kneeling and crying in front of him was something he couldn't stand. It strengthened Luffy's resolve to defeat Crocodile. Could any of the Seven Warlords of the Sea be stronger than Buggy the Clown?

Nami knew she couldn't afford to mess with the Seven Warlords of the Sea, while Luffy and Zoro were itching for a fight, completely unaware of how terrifying the pirates recruited by the Navy had been on the high seas before.

While everyone was talking, the ominous duo from Baroque Works, who were in charge of intelligence, listened in from the second floor.

By the time they realized what had happened, the other party had already flown away and could no longer catch up. Seeing this, Nami was terrified of being killed to silence her and was on the verge of a breakdown. She grabbed Princess Vivi by the neck, wishing she had never heard the news.

It was dark earlier, and Nami figured the otter and vulture pair probably hadn't seen her face clearly, so she decided to go back to Cocoyasi Village to avoid trouble.

She had only taken a few steps when she saw Mr. 13, the sea otter, sketching. Before Nami could approach, he showed her his calligraphy.

"It looks so real!" Nami couldn't help but admire the artist's skill, saying it was far more professional than the Navy's intelligence department.

The sea otter once again mounted the vulture, carrying portraits of the entire Straw Hat crew, and flew into the sky, leaving everyone helpless.

"Come back! I don't want to be hunted down!"

Nami was left alone, on the verge of tears. She then hid in a corner, burying her head in her knees, completely withdrawn. Princess Vivi took out her own 50 Berries of savings, intending to comfort the navigator.

"You are the only princess of Alabasta, and the national treasury must be full of treasures. We've helped you save the country, so giving us a small reward isn't unreasonable, is it?"

Seeing that Miss Nami, who had just looked heartbroken, now had eyes filled with greed, Princess Vivi timidly asked, "How much do you want?"

"Not much, just a mere billion Berries."

Princess Vivi? Give me back the guilt I felt earlier. Nami really dares to ask for that!

Before Crocodile became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he already had an 8000 million bounty on his head, which is equivalent to four Arlong bounties. After being recruited by the Navy, the bounty will be revoked, and his current strength should be more than that bounty.

Upon hearing this bad news, Usopp trembled with fear. This powerful monster was beyond their ability to deal with, and they started arguing about breaking up the group and running away.

He was met with Nami's invincible iron fist, which knocked the sniper on the ship to the ground with one punch. For the reward of 1 billion Berries, the little burglar cat was willing to risk everything, as she had never seen so much money before.

Just as everyone was discussing their next move, Mr. 8, also known as Icarus, came out dressed in women's clothing.

He dressed up as Princess Vivi, holding several dolls in his arms. He was going to risk his life to draw the Straw Hat crew's attention so that they could escape Baroque Works' combined attack.

Princess Vivi would absolutely not agree to something so dangerous and potentially fatal. "No, Icarum, I can't let you die."

"Your Highness, this is the Log Pose for the next stop. You must lead the Straw Hat Crew to save our kingdom!"

At this point, Icarus was already resigned to death. Seeing that his helpers could easily defeat Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentine, and handing Princess Vivi over to these friendly pirates, perhaps Luffy could really defeat Crocodile, just as the sky had said.

"I can help you."

A young man with black hair and a bun emerged from the shadows, abruptly interrupting the emotional conversation between the emperor and his ministers.

How did you get out?

This young man had drifted to Whiskey Island in a small boat before the Straw Hat crew arrived. Icarus, seeing that this guy wasn't wanted by the Navy, assumed he was just a greenhorn who had just entered the Grand Line, so he got him drunk and locked him up.

"Your small town can't hold me; I just sobered up."

Chapter 28 Giantization

"With your single boat, can you break through this blockade?"

The mysterious man who suddenly appeared pointed to the coastline, where a ship bearing the name of Baroque Studio was seen traveling through the night with searchlights on its back, with at least a dozen lights appearing on the sea.

"Alan Yeager, you really have a way with things?"

Icarum revealed the name of the person who had spoken. As a minister of a country, he still had some insight. Even if he went to his death, he would never be able to break through such a strong encirclement on the sea.

Zoro looked at the ship whose lights were getting closer and closer. With his current strength, he could only engage in boarding combat. He couldn't possibly split a ship in two with his sword.

Sanji, the ship's cook, is like Zoro; he excels at close combat and usually seeks out one-on-one fights with the opposing executives, lacking long-range attack capabilities.

Usopp, as the only sniper on the Straw Hat crew, has limited ranged attack capabilities. Nami's Clima-Tact hasn't been fully developed yet. Captain Luffy can pose a threat to enemy ships, but if he accidentally falls into the sea, the other crew members will need to rescue this Devil Fruit user.

"I'm not helping you for free. After it's all done, I want to ride on your pirate ship to a certain place."

The other party didn't make any unreasonable demands, so Nami bypassed Captain Luffy and agreed directly. As long as it didn't cost her any money or Berries, she was willing to give them a ride.

Luffy's small eyes scanned Allen up and down. From the other man's cold gaze, he could sense the stranger's disregard for life, and his impression was that this young man was not a good person.

"We can handle this ourselves, right, Zoro and Sanji?"

"I'll do whatever the captain tells us to do."

"I'm just a cook on the ship, I have no other opinions."

"You three, shut up!"

Seeing the three men in the group putting on sour faces, Nami waved her pink fists, punching them repeatedly until she left big bumps on their foreheads. She was going to use her fists, which weren't covered in Armament Haki, to wake up these three brainless idiots.

After a few more punches, Nami calmed down from her rage and smiled at Eren, "The three of them have no objections, so please make your move, Mr. Eren."

Baroque Works brought a number of elite members this time. Normally, it wouldn't have been necessary to send so many people to capture traitors within the organization, but the future revealed in the sky still made Crocodile pay attention to the Straw Hat crew.

Based on the Seven Warlords of the Sea's reasoning, the Straw Hat crew might actually encounter Princess Vivi. If that's the case, they should go all out and bury the entire pirate crew and the princess together on Whiskey Mountain. Becoming the Pirate King isn't something a country can do without.

"I saw ships in the port."

"That pirate flag is definitely from the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Gunners, load the cannons and sink this pirate ship!"
