One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

"Warships!" Usopp shouted from the lookout tower.

"Direction? How many ships?"

"One ship, exactly the place Master Long mentioned!"

"Charge!"

"Another warship?" Mabi, who was closing her eyes, woke up with a start. Wasn't it only because she needed to go to the mysterious island to activate Dragon Lord's memories that she encountered this? Could it be that her involvement caused the whole world to fall into chaos? It seems that the future plot is not very reliable and she can only take things as they come.

"Haha! Charge!" Luffy shouted from the bow of the ship. It was more exciting to go head-to-head with a warship.

"Haha! I was fooled after all." Lying on the sedan chair, Nixon chuckled, shaking his fat body. Sure enough, using a large warship to conceal the warships behind it could achieve the deceptive effect.

"Give the order to activate the goose formation once the pirate ships enter the ambush area."

"Order!"

"Brut! Brut!"

"Admiral, my men have sent me a message. I need to go out and answer it." Captain Jim, holding a grappling hook, bowed and asked. Now was not the time to fall out; the proper etiquette still needed to be observed.

"Okay, go ahead."

"Soldiers!" Admiral Nelson gave the order after he walked out.

"Admiral?" The soldier beside him asked tremblingly, flattered.

"Watch them. If they dare to attack, kill the Thousand-Year Dragon on sight." Nelson gave the order in a sinister tone, revealing the true nature of the evil admiral Nelson.

"Yes, yes, Admiral." The soldier saluted and ran out immediately, not daring to stay there any longer.

"Captain, Captain! Tiger Island has been opened! Those tigers have finally come out to find their prince!" An excited voice came from the other end of the Den Den Mushi. The long wait of more than half a month, during which he had resisted the urge to go out and rob someone, had finally paid off.

"Haha, I'm going back right now! The legendary fruit that can change the weather, once I get it, even the Four Emperors will be mine! Hahaha!" He left without saying goodbye to Nelson. As for the elixir of immortality, does such a thing even exist in this world? With power, what can't I have? If I want it, I'll just snatch it back.

"What? We're completely surrounded!" Nami exclaimed in panic when she saw the open military formation, with twenty-four warships linked together by iron chains and completely surrounded.

"I'll cut them down! You wait for the attack!" Mabi took the lead and jumped over, after all, she was faster.

"Haha! Me too!" Luffy shouted.

"Rubber! Rubber! Hand bridge!"

"Slash! Sever the air!" Five iron chains as thick as a human body were swept away by Mabi and fell into the sea.

"cut!"

"Crack!" The chain next door also snapped, and Maggie gave Zoro a friendly look.

"Slash! Shake the air!" Maby swung her sword down, shattering the standing warship and sinking it along with the soldiers inside. After all, the gap between the two ships was not enough for the Going Merry to pass through; she could only expand the area and sink a few ships.

"Haha! Gum-Gum Slingshot!" Mapi continued to destroy a warship next to him, while leaving the other one to Luffy and his two companions.

"Boom!" The admiral in the distance, seeing that he couldn't intercept it at all, immediately ordered all artillery fire to kill the Thousand-Year Dragon and take some bones.

"Master Long!"

"Abis!"

"Damn it! Sky Slash!" Upon seeing this, Mabi immediately launched a flying slash to block the aerial shells, but she could only intercept a portion of the densely packed shells attacking the entire sea surface.

"Rubber! Rubber! Slingshot!" Everyone stopped what they were doing and flew at full speed toward where Master Long was.

Faced with countless artillery bombardments, the aged Dragon Lord was unable to fly and could only desperately protect Apis under his wings to ensure her safety.

"Wind Blade, Wind Blade!" Eric, the user of the Air Blade Fruit who arrived at the side, saw that the Dragon Lord was no longer moving and immediately used both hands to slash at him. He had already fallen out with Nelson over the Dragon Bone, and if he didn't take the Dragon Bone now, everything would be over when they found Dragon Island.

Blood splattered everywhere, staining the surrounding azure ocean red. With his aged body, Dragon Lord could hardly stop Eric's sharp air blades and could only endure the pain.

"Master Long!"

"Master Long!"

"asshole!"

"I'm going to kill you! Rubber! Rubber! Rocket Launcher!" "Wind..."

Suddenly, the Dragon Lord, who was in pain, seemed to understand something. His eyes were no longer cloudy, his feathers spread out, and he stretched out his old but powerful neck. His throat surged and he roared to the sky.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The stirring dragon roar resounded throughout the heavens and earth, and ripples caused by the sound waves spread out into the endless sky.

"Aw! Aw! Aw!"

···

When Maggie saw Dragon's actions, she immediately understood what was going on. Even though her memory was fading due to old age, the memories that were already imprinted in her bones would not be lost as long as she was alive. They were just waiting for a trigger to bring them out, so she imitated its voice.

"Hmph!" "Wait, the sound is a bit mixed!"

"Ugh!" "It's too low this time!"

"Roar!" A clear dragon's roar echoed from the Going Merry, responding to the Dragon Lord's shout.

"Mabi!" The people around Mabi looked at him in surprise. They knew he could imitate, but they didn't expect him to be able to imitate even animal sounds.

"Lord Dragon says he's summoning his companions! Brother Mabi keeps calling out, this sound is a message summoning companions." Apis wiped away her tears and listened to Lord Dragon's heartfelt words, overjoyed, and shouted to Mabi.

"Summoning companions? Looks like I imitated it correctly. No problem, let me summon Lord Dragon's companions now." Maggie nodded in agreement.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" The voice was completely imitated from the Dragon Lord's voice, but it was loud, energetic, and full of vigor.

"Roar! Roar! Roar!" Countless sounds came from the sky, accompanied by a figure that pierced through the clouds and appeared before everyone's eyes.

"It's the Thousand-Year Dragon Clan! Dragon Lord's companions." Seeing the Thousand-Year Dragons appear before them, everyone knew what Dragon Lord was up to. Now, all that was left was finding out where the Thousand-Year Dragons' graveyard was.

"What's going on?" Everyone suddenly felt the sea tremor and countless seawater flowed backward, causing numerous warships around them to run aground.

"This is the Dragon Lord's tomb, a dragon's tomb that only appears once every thousand years," Apis explained. Just now, when Mebi cried out, the Dragon Lord had stopped crying out so that he could conserve some energy to say all the information he understood.

"Eric, go kill a thousand-year-old dragon and I'll give you the elixir of immortality," Nelson ordered Eric, who had been sent flying.

“Is that so? If you die, I can enjoy the secret to immortality all to myself,” Eric said calmly.

"What are you doing, soldier!"

"Die!" The wind blade swept across, leaving a trail of blood on the ground.

“Really? It seems that Master Long has found his own home!” Maggie stood in front of Master Long and said silently.

“Yes, this is the grave of Lord Dragon and the place where Lord Dragon and the others were born,” Nami replied, looking towards the baby dragon that was born in the distance.

"Yes! Master Long said he was very happy to meet us. He lives here to guide the migrating thousand-year-old dragons to find this place for a new life."

"Shock the air." Mabi swung her sword downwards, shattering the rocks below and revealing a large crater.

"Please help bury Lord Long in there."

"it is good!"

"It seems I underestimated you! Put down that dragon corpse and I'll let you go," Eric said, standing on a rock and looking down at them.

"asshole!"

"Wind Blade! Wind Blade! Tornado!" Sensing the opponent's anger, he immediately launched a Wind Blade Tornado attack.

"Rubber! Rubber! Air cannon!" By compressing air with both hands, a solid layer of air can be formed to block and isolate attacks.

"Bang!" Unsurprisingly, he was sent flying again. His Devil Fruit ability alone was no match for Luffy, who had become stronger through physical skills.

···

"Goodbye, everyone! One day I will set sail and meet you all again." Apis waved from the dock.

Goodbye, Apis!

"goodbye!"

Goodbye! See you in the new world!

···

"Grandpa, I want to learn and become a capable person like Brother Mebius."

Bogudan looked at the curious little girl, Abby, and touched her head affectionately.

"Abis, you're finally willing to learn! Let's start by understanding our history, which begins in the past..."

"Ah!..." This is not what I want to learn at all.

······

"Heading towards Loguetown! I'm determined to become the Pirate King!" Luffy declared from the bow of the ship.

"Haha! I also want to become the bravest warrior at sea."

"Sanji, let's see how these buns are made!" Maggie took out a wooden box and pulled Sanji to study how to make buns. On it were some yeast and a recipe that she had asked Grandpa Bogudan for.

"Meat buns?"

"Yes."

"Let me take a look." This immediately piqued Sanji's interest.

"Clap! Clap! Clap! Not bad pirate crew! It seems I made the right choice."

"Who goes there?" Zoro, who was fast asleep on the deck, immediately put his hand on his sword and became alert.

Chapter 19 Departure! Cloud Tiger Island

"It is this prince." A childish voice rang out, continuing to stimulate Zoro's sensitive nerves.

"What's wrong, Zoro?" Nami asked, who was looking at blueprints on the deck. "Nothing has happened yet."

Mabi and Sanji, who were discussing cooking in the kitchen, also rushed out.

"What happened?"

"Sanji, isn't this the little white tiger we were going to use to make tiger soup? How did it end up here?" Maggie said when she saw the little white tiger sitting in front of Zoro. She had found the white tiger in the cage during the robbery and thought the tiger soup would be good, so she caught it. But she was always in a hurry and left it aside.

"Yes, I've heard that Tiger Soup is very nourishing, you should try it."

"I had a feeling someone had boarded the ship, but I didn't see anything. It seems I was worrying too much." Zoro slowly lowered his guard.

"I···"
