One Piece: Starting with Breathing Techniques

……

Three days later, at dawn.

Robin stretched and stepped out of the cabin, skillfully activating his ability to take control of the Ruka.

Tiny hands appeared out of thin air from the ship's rudder and sails, and a pair of round eyes appeared on the lookout tower.

Comparing the pointer to the recorder, Robin closed his eyes, activated his ability, and adjusted the ship's direction.

A moment later, she opened her eyes, took out a nautical chart, and quickly walked to the stern of the ship.

Kilo had been standing at the stern for a while, munching on a freshly made sandwich while lifting a huge dumbbell up and down with one hand.

Upon seeing Robin arrive, he swallowed the sandwich in his mouth, picked up a sandwich from the small table next to him, and handed it to him.

"woke up?"

Robin nodded, took the sandwich, and took out the nautical chart, pointing to a certain spot with her little hand.

"This is our current location. If all goes well, we'll be at Flame Island in ten minutes!"

At this point, Robin's eyes lit up, as if he had thought of something happy.

"We'll see Sauro soon!"

Kilo looked at the nautical chart and nodded.

Arriving at Flame Island ahead of schedule is understandable.

After all, he had been repeatedly creating strong winds over the past three days, making the speed of the Liuhua ship much faster than before.

Thinking of this, Kilo turned his head and looked at the speedboat that was still chasing closely behind the boat, his eyes filled with emotion.

For three whole days, Gotti and his crew were still chasing the Ryuga.

That perseverance is truly admirable!

……

On the other side of the speedboat, the atmosphere had gradually shifted from shouting and cursing to silence, until now it was completely still.

Everyone collapsed listlessly in the cabin.

I didn't eat or drink for three whole days, and then I was tormented by a sudden dose of laxatives!

Even their well-trained bodies couldn't withstand this kind of torment.

Gotti also sat cross-legged with his eyes closed, trying to conserve his energy to avoid unnecessary strain.

He had already figured out that the wind that always seemed to appear at just the right moment was definitely the work of the two men on the ship.

He could accept a few lucky breaks, but in these three days, that damned wind had reappeared hundreds of times, and each time it came at just the right moment, widening the distance between the two boats.

What a coincidence!

"Go... Boss Gotti..."

"We've been chasing this for so long, should we keep going?"

Gotti didn't even blink when he heard this, but said in a deep voice.

"Chase!"

"Haven't you noticed? This ship's destination is...?"

Gotti's tone carried a hint of sarcasm.

"Flame Island!"

Upon hearing this, the younger brother who had asked the question gradually widened his eyes.

"Flame Island?!"

"Doesn't that mean..."

"That's right!"

"This ship is heading towards our Flame Gang's headquarters!"

A slight smile played on Gotti's lips, his face a mask of mockery and disdain.

"I've already contacted Captain Capone Becky via Den Den Mushi. They should be waiting for this ungrateful ship at the dock with a bunch of guys by now."

"We just need to wait and see, and wait for our boss and the others to come and pick us up so we can wipe this ship out!"

"I'll tear those two damned brats to pieces!!!"

Gotti looked at the wretched Rukawa and saw Kilo calmly eating breakfast at the stern.

Seemingly aware of Gotti's gaze, Kilo lightly raised the sandwich in his hand.

"Damn it!!"

Having gone three whole days without food, Gotti was starving. When he saw the sandwich in Kiro's hand, he couldn't stop drooling, and his stomach started growling.

Faced with Kilo's blatant provocation, Gotti's eyes turned red with anger.

However, after a short while, he adjusted his emotions and regained his composure.

After all, they'll soon be able to catch the reckless Kilo!

He even started thinking about what cruel methods he would use to torture those two brats once he caught them!

As a powerful force in the underworld of the West Sea, the Flame Gang has countless ways to make them suffer unbearable pain and wish for death!

Suddenly, one of the underlings exclaimed in surprise:

"Look, Flame Island is just ahead!!"

Everyone's spirits lifted, and Gotti's face lit up with joy.

He pushed through the crowd and went to the bow of the ship, where he saw a huge island gradually coming into view.

Gorty gazed intently into the distance and vaguely spotted a group of men dressed in suits on the dock.

He was all too familiar with the physique of the leader.

It was his idolized boss, the leader of the Flame Gang—Capone Becky!

Gotti's eyes widened in shock, his heart filled with relief and ecstatic joy.

The thought that the Liuhua ship, which had tricked them for three days, was now being devoured by the Flame Bandits, instantly dispelled the resentment in his heart.

"Hahaha!"

"Just wait to die! You ignorant brats!"

Just as Gotti was getting excited, he noticed that the ship ahead, the Liuhua, which they had been chasing for three whole days, was gradually slowing down.

A moment later, the Liuhua was running alongside them!

Keep in mind that even during their closest approach in the first three days, they were still a full twenty meters away from the Liuhua!

Now, the two ships are almost parallel, at the same level!

Upon seeing this, Gotti's eyes flashed with doubt and confusion.

Has the other side already realized that there is an ambush on Flame Island?

However, the doubts quickly faded, replaced by ecstasy.

This distance means they can quickly engage the Ruka, which means they can board the ship!

At that distance, even if that strong wind reappeared, it wouldn't stop Gotti from boarding the boat!

Just as Gotti was overjoyed and preparing to turn around and approach the Ryuga, he caught a glimpse of Kilo's figure appearing beside the deck.

Kilo, facing the incredulous gazes of the crowd, leaped into the air and landed in the direction of the speedboat.

Under everyone's watchful eyes, Kilo's figure seemingly leaped more than ten meters into the air and landed lightly on the speedboat.

"I've played with you guys for so long, it's time to end this."

Seeing the bewildered crowd, Kiro simply flexed his wrists and spoke calmly.

It was as if they were just taking a walk after dinner.

Faced with this sudden turn of events, Gotti was clearly stunned for a moment, then his eyes filled with ecstasy.

"Hahaha!! This ignorant brat actually dared to get on our ship!!!"

"Who does he think he is?! A Navy Admiral? Hahahahahaha!"

Gotti's face was contorted with rage as he looked at the culprit who had caused their current predicament, his agitated tone turning icy.

"Unfortunately... I was originally planning to spare your life."

"But you dared to use laxatives, such a despicable tactic to provoke the Flame Gang!?"

He couldn't bear it any longer and looked at Kiro with a cruel gaze as if he were looking at a lamb to the slaughter.

"I hope you are prepared to die."

"To this day, no one who has offended our Flame Bandit Gang has ever left the West Sea alive!"

"Go! Grab him!"

"Remember, I want to live!"

"yes!"

Behind Gotti, the crowd surged forward, rushing straight at the culprit in front of them.

Faced with the surging Flame Gang henchmen, Kiro stood still, seemingly stunned and frozen in place.

"Hmph, I thought he had some special abilities, but he's just a boastful brat who's all bark and no bite!"

Gotti relaxed, a sinister grin spreading across his face, as if he could already see Kilo howling in agony under his torture.

The next second, his expression suddenly froze.
