One Piece: We already have the Four Gods, so my Six Paths Sage is reasonable, right?

Ron didn't chase after him. Compared to arguing endlessly with the Golden Lion about the strong liquor, he was more curious about something else: why did that idiot give himself strong liquor?

suddenly.

An idea flashed through his mind.

Could there be... spit in that drink?

As soon as the thought crossed his mind, Ron felt the hairs on the back of his head stand on end.

Although it doesn't cause any physical harm, the psychological blow it delivers is enough to kill someone on the spot.

"Gurgle gurgle~~~"

Locke didn't think too much about it, casually picked up a glass and took a big gulp. He seemed to see through Ron's conflicted expression, and slowly said, "Don't overthink it. It was probably the idea of ​​those idiots inside. Their goal is probably to get you drunk so they can provoke you into playing games with them."

"........."

Ron's lips twitched, unsure whether to call the Golden Lion an idiot or admire his determination for revenge.

"Well, Annika." Ron turned to look at Annika, who looked guilty, and said, "You've gotten bold, aren't you? You're about to rebel."

Annika panicked. She really thought that the Golden Lion wanted to ease tensions, which was why he had asked her to deliver the "water of life."

Caught off guard by Ron's question, she clutched the hem of her dress tightly and stammered, "I...I'm sorry, Lord Ron..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than a loud explosion came from inside the ship.

"Bang!"

The ship's hull was smashed open, leaving a large hole, and wood chips and fragments flew out.

Immediately afterwards, a figure enveloped in smoke and dust flew out of the hole, tracing a less-than-graceful arc in the air, before crashing face-first onto the deck at Ron's feet with a loud "boom".

Ron glanced down at this "giant from the sky" and said unhurriedly, "What's up, Kaido? Are you cosplaying as an aerial acrobat?"

Kaido, bracing himself against the shattered deck, looked up, his face still showing lingering panic: "What... what do you mean, cosplaying as an aerial acrobat...?"

Before he could finish speaking, Rocks strode forward, bent down, grabbed Kaido by the back of the neck, and lifted him off the ground, his voice filled with barely suppressed rage: "You're asking for it, Kaido?! You've destroyed another ship!"

"What do you mean 'again'?!" Kaido shrank back, feeling a bit uncomfortable being held by Rocks. "Even if I'm a repeat offender, this time it really has nothing to do with me! It's Linlin! Her food cravings have flared up again!"

Lox frowned, released his grip, and slapped his face, his tone weary with a "I don't know what to say anymore" kind of tone: "Sigh~ that idiot Lingling... doesn't she know her own body condition? She's still arguing with that ancient loli Osa, and even trying to lose weight..."

Kaido didn't take Rocks's comments to heart. He felt he had the worst day ever and finally found a corner to sit down and rest.

He had just picked up a pastry made by Annika and taken a bite, and before he could even chew it, Lingling appeared out of nowhere, staring intently at the pastry in his hand, drool dripping from her lips, murmuring, "It smells so good... I want to eat it..."

Kaido casually remarked, "If you want some, go get it from the kitchen," and then stuffed the snack into his mouth.

Then it completely spiraled out of control.

Lingling immediately "mutated," her eyes widened, and she acted as if a switch had been flipped, howling as she tried to rip the snacks out of Kaido's stomach.

Hey, why didn't you say you'd give it to me after I pooped it out?!

"Thank you." Kaido recalled the terrifying experience just now, and subconsciously reached for the last glass of "plain water".

"Wait, Lord Kaido," Annika's voice trailed off weakly.

"puff,!!"

The moment the strong liquor entered his mouth, Kaido felt as if he had swallowed a ball of burning coals; his entire mouth was burning.

He suddenly spat it out, the alcohol vapor scattering into tiny droplets in the sunlight. He looked at Annika and then at Ron with disbelief: "This...this isn't just plain water?!"

Annika cautiously opened her eyes a crack and whispered, "I...I was just about to remind you..."

"It's just plain water," Ron said flatly. "But the kind of plain water that can be lit."

"Don't you want to listen to what you're saying, Ron!" Kaido said irritably.

"Boom!"

Another explosion occurred inside the ship.

This time the commotion was even greater, with the deck shaking slightly and smoke suddenly billowing out of the hatch.

"Hey, Rocks, if you don't stop her, Lingling is going to tear the whole ship apart!" The author's white-bearded voice slowly came from not far away.

"Give me a break, you bastard!" Rocks cursed as he stormed into the cabin.

The next second, a powerful and domineering aura suddenly erupted from inside the ship.

Immediately following a muffled thud, Lingling's figure flew out of the cabin door like a cannonball, arcing through the air before crashing heavily onto the deck.

Lingling quickly stood up again, her right side already swollen beyond recognition from the violent punch she received from Lockes.

Soon, Locke emerged from the hatch, his face grim.

Behind them, Golden Lion, Silver Axe, John, Gan Sui, and others emerged in twos and threes, leaning against the ship's walls, looking like they were watching a show.

"As expected of the Rocks Pirates, their way of solving problems is always so simple and brutal," Ron muttered to himself, then told Annika to go back inside the ship.

"Waaaaa~￥#%#￥@% (Give me some snacks~~~)" Because the right side of her mouth was bulging out so badly, Lingling's words were unclear.

"What kind of gibberish are you spouting? If you don't come to your senses, I'll throw you into the sea!" Rocks retorted irritably.

"Wait, Rocks," the golden lion suddenly floated out, his expression serious, "I can read lips! Lingling just said, 'I can't control myself anymore, please kill me.'"

"??????"

Upon hearing this, everyone stared at the Golden Lion in shock.

Is this a proper translation?

Who the hell are you trying to fool?!

"Waaaaah~~##￥#！@！#（Give me some snacks）" Lingling suddenly roared, her Conqueror's Haki pouring out in all directions with her angry shout.

Golden Lion continued translating without changing his expression: "She said, 'Hurry, Rocks, I'm going berserk, please kill me.'"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Rocks jumped up and kicked him in the butt.

"Get lost, Shiki, do I look like an idiot to you?" Rocks snapped irritably.

The Golden Lion steadied himself, glanced back at Rocks' face which seemed to say, "If you make up another word, I'll send you flying farther than Lingling," pursed his lips, and ultimately said nothing more.
