One Piece Talk King: Starting with Commentary on Devil Fruits

A colossal giant, hundreds of meters tall, with a face resembling that of a Buddha, neither pleased nor saddened, treating everything beneath its feet with equanimity. Wherever it passes, it leaves indelible marks, often accompanied by tiny specks of blood and the remains of various creatures. Before the giant, all beings are equal.

The third segment: The small sky island is also known as Visalia

Even the sky was not spared; a large group of giant-like monsters flew through the air, carrying meteorologists in their mouths, searching the scene for hidden intelligent beings. No place was safe.

In the scene where the giants are eating and devouring people, the small sky island is about to fall. The pain and despair shown by the old men as they are chewed by the giants' teeth make up the final scene of the small sky island.

Fourth segment: Somewhere on the Red Line

A group of humans stood on the cliff face of the Red Earth continent, with a colossal head emerging from directly above, steam billowing out. The stark contrast between their enormous size and the giant's eyes—a human averaging two meters tall was smaller than a giant's eye—made the audience outside the screen feel the despair of the humans in the scene even more strongly.

A Celestial Dragon, distinctively wearing an oxygen mask, was carried on the back of a tall slave as they fled in the opposite direction from the giant. The Celestial Dragon, who considered himself a god, was just like any other creature in the face of the Colossus, his face filled with fear and despair.

The camera pans out, showing the reason why the Colossal Titans landed on the Red Line. The Colossal Titans are stacked on top of each other next to the rock walls, with the first Titans paving the way for the later ones. Even this terrain with a slope of nearly 90 degrees cannot stop the Colossal Titans' advance.

The clip ends with a narration that on that day, humanity finally remembered the fear of being dominated by giants and the humiliation of being trapped in the Red Earth.

After four video clips flashed back, the scene cut back to the Straw Hat Pirates' kitchen, where everyone was still chatting and laughing. This stark contrast made it clear to viewers watching the video that these pirates had no idea what they were about to face, which explained why the opening hinted that the battle would be extremely fierce.

“Those with the ability have all become pirates, who would want to destroy the world? The Human King won’t appear in our time,” Usopp said confidently, never thinking he would be so unlucky.

“That makes sense. Let’s just take it as a story. These ancient artifacts are too far removed from our lives,” Robin agreed with her partner. She carefully folded the rubbings of the historical text and then tucked them back into her J-cup breasts.

Nami gently stroked the dragon's head beside her, reminding the captain, "Luffy, didn't you have something to say to everyone? You haven't forgotten again, have you?"

Five years later, Luffy still had the same carefree personality. He put aside the special drink that the transvestite Sanji had made for him, and his smiling face suddenly turned serious.

For Captain Luffy to take this so seriously, it must be something very important, right?

Sometimes I really don't understand his thought process. He thinks some unimportant things are very important. But the other crew members are very happy to go crazy and play with the captain.

"I meant to talk about Devil Fruits. I completely forgot about it on Fish-Man Island, and only remembered it in the last few days. I'm really sorry."

His crewmates on the ship were waiting for him to continue, but after listening intently for a long time, there was no more to say. Luffy, who had been looking serious just moments before, now had snot bubbles on his nose and had fallen asleep at this crucial moment.

"Luffy, wake up! You always fall asleep at crucial moments!" Enraged, Nami jumped up from the chair, grabbed the captain's collar, and shook him violently, trying to get the brainless captain to continue.

"Is it already morning?"

"What do you want to say about Devil Fruits? If you still can't remember, I'll use my fist to help you recall," Nami raised her fist and gestured at Luffy's face.

"Nami, I was wrong. I remember now, it was Buggy the Clown who told me that. His understanding of training is amazing."

The screen immediately transitioned to Luffy's memories, not giving him any more time to waste and already whetting the audience's appetite.

Three years ago, on an island in the first half of the Grand Line that was occupied by wild beasts.

Luffy was fighting against dozens of huge beasts, and behind him was an old man with white hair, who was looking at his disciple's training results with satisfaction.

"Luffy, that's enough for today. You've mastered Armament Haki and Observation Haki. Take a beast's carcass back to your lodgings."

Character Notes: Rayleigh, Vice-Captain of the Roger Pirates

The rubber man used all his strength, his fist, covered in Armament Haki and as big as a giant's, slammed a pink elephant to the ground with one punch. When the other beasts saw their leader being killed instantly, they scattered and fled into the jungle. Luffy did not chase after them, but carried the prey on his back and followed behind Rayleigh.

The so-called accommodation consisted of two simple tents, and the only advantage of this place was that one side could provide shelter from the wind and rain.

Luffy started a fire, and Rei used his sword to cut today's ingredients into fist-sized slices. He then skewered them with twigs and placed them by the fire, added some salt, and grilled them. This was their daily meal.

Sometimes they eat some fruit from the island, and if they're unlucky, they might get poisoned. There are no doctors on the island, so they can only tough it out on their own. When Luffy first arrived, he suffered a lot. By then, he had learned his lesson and would never eat fruit he hadn't tried before.

While waiting for the wild beast meat to roast, Rayleigh, who had been sitting by the fire with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes and looked up at the sky. He didn't know when it had happened, but a magnificent and beautiful ancient city was floating above their heads.

"Wow, a flying city! There really is everything on this ocean!" Luffy also noticed the suddenly appearing city. However, the fact that outsiders could come to this desolate island made the young man, who had just come of age, quite happy.

"They're coming for us."

Rayleigh and Luffy heard the sound of a string at the same time. When they opened their eyes again, the scene around them had changed. They had arrived inside the moving city, and a building beneath their feet was carrying them. Lights were being lit up one by one around them.

"It's so cool! The surrounding buildings are all moving!" Luffy lay down and looked down. The ancient-style buildings in the entire space were constantly moving, and the two of them moved up and down with the buildings. The whole space was constantly changing, as if it was trying to form something, which made the curious boy very interested.

The ancient-style buildings kept piecing themselves together, and then the sound of a zither was heard. The surrounding buildings finally stopped and revealed their original appearance. The two people's Observation Haki detected a powerful aura.

"First Mate Raleigh, it's been so long!"

The speaker was nearly four meters tall, with a very noticeable red nose and clown makeup on his face. He sat in the highest seat, looking down at the two guests.

Rayleigh stared at the man sitting high up with an incredulous expression. "You're Bucky?"

Chapter 71 The remnants of the old era

Donghai Feihua Island

The entire Clown Pirates crew gathered together, with Buggy surrounded by his crew members. These people already had no goodwill towards the Straw Hat Pirates, and seeing so many Devil Fruit users appear on the other side five years later made them extremely envious.

Then came the giant city in the sky, which Rayleigh and Luffy were sucked into in the blink of an eye. When they saw the future Buggy appear, the henchmen around him cheered enthusiastically.

"Captain Bucky's entrance was so cool!"

"A city that floats in the air and keeps changing—is this also the work of someone with superpowers?"

"The future Joker Pirates' base is actually in the air! The Navy can't touch us then!"

Amidst the praises of his companions, Bucky the Clown stared intently at his future self on the screen. He had never possessed that wild and unrestrained spirit. He knew his own limitations, but he longed to become like the person on the screen.

The more intense clown makeup also captivated the main character. With such a lively atmosphere, the weak Bucky understood the art of managing his subordinates. He wanted to let those who had initially followed him have a good time today. "Let's have a feast, my little ones, to celebrate our future."

The remnants of the Clown Pirates took out the food and drinks they had plundered over the past few days. While everyone was busy with their own things, the sexy Alberta sat down next to Buggy and spoke in a gentler tone: "Captain, do you have time tonight? Come to my room for a drink."

Bucky thought to himself, "What a great thing..."

The content on the screen continued, with Bucky the Clown's reappearance tugging at the Navy's sensitive nerves.

"First Mate Raleigh, I have changed quite a bit, but surely you wouldn't recognize me?"

Rayleigh, usually a handsome old man with a smile, suddenly became wary when facing a familiar face on the ship. “The aura you exude is completely different from the Bucky the Clown I know. You are a completely different person. Perhaps some monster has stolen Bucky’s body.”

As soon as he finished speaking, Rayleigh drew his sword and instantly disappeared from Luffy's side. The sword light slashed towards Buggy, who was sitting in the main seat. He wanted to see who this person in front of him really was. Of all people to impersonate, why did he have to choose to impersonate Buggy the Clown!

The people who were once on the same boat turned their swords against him, but the clown's exaggerated smile remained unchanged. He only said to the kimono-clad woman kneeling beside him, "Nekome, you don't need to make a move."

"Yes"

Bucky met Rayleigh's sword strike head-on, choosing not to use any weapon and instead taking the hit with his own body.

Sword and fist clashed. At first, it was a contest of Armament Haki, but later it became a clash between Conqueror's Haki. The two powerful auras gathered together and spread violently in all directions, creating a storm centered on the two of them.

Luffy, who was behind, grabbed onto a part of the building. His small frame was almost blown away by the force of the impact. The woman in the kimono named Nakime played the biwa in her hand and moved the building in front of her to block the view.

"Vice-Commander Rayleigh is truly still got it! At his age, he can still unleash such powerful Conqueror's Haki. It's such a waste that he's retired now."

"Kid, I really misjudged you before. I didn't expect you to be like Shanks. When did you start hiding your true abilities?"

The simple yet powerful clash of Conqueror's Haki showed Luffy how to use it. Faced with these two monsters, he suddenly realized that his newly awakened Conqueror's Haki had a lot of room for improvement.

After fighting and confirming each other's identities, Rayleigh and Bucky reconciled. After all, they had been in the same boat before and had no grudges against each other, so they stopped there.

Buggy invited Luffy and Rayleigh to join him at the banquet, as this lavish feast was prepared specifically for the two of them.

"Nekome, call Barrett back. He probably hasn't seen the first mate since his escape."

The camera zoomed in on the woman in the kimono. Her attire and demeanor were no different from those of women from Wano Country, except that her hair was particularly thick, covering the upper half of her face. "Okay."

Character Notes: Nakime, Lower Rank 5 of the Joker Pirates' Twelve Demon Moons, a Paramecia-type Rank-Rank Fruit user.

Nakime held the biwa in one hand and gently plucked the strings with her fingers. This was the sound of the strings that Rayleigh and Luffy had heard before, and they were drawn into it as soon as they heard this sound.

A familiar figure to Rayleigh was pulled into this mobile city. The other party was a burly man with light blond hair. He was still sensing the changes in space and his eyes were somewhat blank.

After his eyes regained their focus, the first thing he said to Buggy the Clown was a complaint: "Captain Buggy, I'm still fighting. Is there something wrong with Nakime calling me back all of a sudden?"

Character Notes: Former member of the Pirate King's crew, currently the Upper Moon Four of the Twelve Demon Moons in the Clown Pirates, a Paramecia-type Fusion-Fusion Fruit user.

"Barrett, can't you see me, old man?"

"Oh, so Rayleigh was here. No wonder I suddenly called him back."

Barrett sat down next to Rayleigh, grabbed the flask, and drank heavily. Having just gone through a battle, a little wine was just perfect. He didn't forget to toast his former first mate, saying, "I never thought we'd meet again. Rayleigh, you've aged quite a bit."

In his memory, Rayleigh, who had the title of Hades, was a burly man with blond hair. The Rayleigh in front of him not only had completely white hair, but his beard and eyebrows had also turned white. Judging by the time, the other party must be almost eighty years old.

"Time flies! It's been over twenty years since we last saw each other. Time really does pass quickly."

Since Roger started the Great Age of Pirates, Barrett was soon captured and imprisoned in Impel Down. More than 20 years have passed in the blink of an eye. Rayleigh, after drinking some alcohol, sighed. He felt that he had really grown old. If it weren't for Luffy, he would have stayed in Sabaody Archipelago for the rest of his life.

Barrett looked at the straw-hatted brat next to Rayleigh, whose head was buried in food. Because he was a rubber man, he could stuff a lot of food into his mouth at once, and his cheeks swelled up into a big ball of flesh.

"It's Luffy, isn't it? Just like Captain Buggy said, he even looks a bit like Roger."

Buggy, sitting in the chairman's seat, noticed his subordinate's eager expression and stopped him, saying, "You've chosen the wrong opponent. Luffy can't withstand more than a few punches from you right now. Even Captain Roger went through a growth process; he's still too inexperienced."

"He's the savior of the escaped prisoners from the underwater prison. I owe half my escape from level six to him, so let's let him off this time."

Luffy was spared a beating today, but he didn't hear about it. He was focused on the delicious food. It was the first time he had eaten such food in more than two years of special training. He was so moved that he almost cried. He was really sick of eating roasted wild beast meat for two years.

The group ate and drank, chatting about their time on Roger's ship and reminiscing about that legendary experience.

Chapter 72 Absorbing Damage

The casual chatter within the light screen lasted for a while, mostly about trivial matters on Roger's ship—talking about beautiful women, drinks, and embarrassing incidents involving the crew. In short, there was no important information; it was more about connecting with each other.

"Bugsy, you called me and Luffy here today, not just for this bar meal. If you have something to say, just say it directly."

Rayleigh felt he had eaten enough, so he took the initiative to steer the conversation in the direction that the other party must want something from him.

"After the Marineford War, I guessed that Luffy would train with you. He'll start learning Haki from scratch. I think two years should be enough. I'm afraid that if you keep teaching him, you'll mislead him. Roger and Luffy are two different types of fighters. If you force him to follow Roger's path, you'll only waste this kid's talent."

Bucky's words were quite harsh to Rayleigh. He had worked hard for two years teaching, and hadn't he earned any credit for his efforts? And now he was being accused of misleading students. He was an old man who was almost eighty years old. Was it easy for him to teach a student?
