One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

"Wow! Women! Women with slender figures and feminine features! They are the real women I've been longing for."

"Hey! Sanji, my darling! Well then, we'll say goodbye now, though we're a little reluctant to part." The men standing at the bow of the ship, dressed in dresses and exuding strong muscles, blew kisses and bid each other a reluctant farewell.

"You guys should hurry up and leave! Thank you! And please take me to ask Ivan the Question Mark." Upon seeing this, Sanji immediately jumped away into the distance.

"Nami! Mia! Angelia! Robin, I'm here!"

"Still treating me so roughly? I've heard that men like to speak harshly to the women they love. Is Sanji trying to express his feelings? I'm so shy!" Thinking of this, his strong arms, as thick as a woman's thigh, squeezed his face, which was the size of a millstone, and shook his twin ponytails vigorously, making him look incredibly shy.

"Ugh! Ugh!..." Several passing pirates couldn't withstand the intense mental shock and collapsed to the ground, vomiting up yesterday's food along with them.

District 42, Sabaody Archipelago!

"Luffy, Nami, Maggie, Angelia, Robin..." Chopper walked down the street and gently popped the bubble in front of him. His eyes crinkled into a happy smile.

"It's been two years since we last met. Everyone must have improved a lot!"

Chopper really misses everyone.

A faint, pleasant fragrance wafted into Chopper's nostrils with a light sniff.

"A sweet smell!"

"Ah! It's cotton candy!"

···

District 70 of the Sabaody Archipelago!

"Saint Angelia, let us see you off one last time! Without you, our country could not have been established. This is a gift from our five million citizens!" Several middle-aged men in white priest robes looked at Angelia, who was standing on the ship's railing, with great respect.

A long, fitted white-gold robe fluttered gently in the sea breeze, six pure white wings rose and fell slightly, casting golden rays of light, and a long white scepter in her hand emitted circles of light. Suddenly turning her head, her long silver-white hair swayed in the breeze.

Angelia looked at her friends of two years and gave them a sweet smile: "Goodbye, everyone. With the medical skills contained in the Holy Church, most diseases can be solved. Whether I am here or not, everyone can live the same life."

I was merely a beacon of light in everyone's despair; please forget I exist.

After speaking, Angelia flapped her wings and soared into the sky.

"Your Holiness!"

As the angels drifted away, a chorus of wails rose from below.

···

"Mabi! Catch me!"

As Mabi was walking, she heard a gasp from above, and a pale yellow figure descended from the sky.

“Mia, that bastard Uranus is willing to let you out!” Mabi reached out and caught the beige figure, asking.

“Yes, he said my cultivation is good enough! We can’t miss our gathering, he’ll come find me in a while.” Mia nodded, her arms wrapped around Maggie’s neck, her long, soft, golden hair cascading down her shoulders, exuding a gentle aura.

"Brother Usopp, it's been a long time!" She jumped up from Maggie's arms, looked at Usopp's figure and chuckled gently, giving Usopp a big hug. Then she turned to Nami's broad chest and hugged her tightly.

"Nami, you've gotten even more voluptuous." A soft voice whispered in Nami's ear, her fair face peeking out from beneath.

"Haha! You're not bad either, you've grown quite a bit in the last two years." Nami hugged her soft shoulders and laughed, also feeling the joy of being reunited after being separated.

"Indecent assault!"

Seeing the two women embracing tenderly, Maggie and Usopp stepped back and moved away from the scene.

···

"That's Nico Robin and Aquaman Apis, we must capture them! They're beings who know how to control ancient weapons." Several marines looked at the documents in their hands, gripping their firearms tightly once more.

The two of them are beings capable of destroying the world.

"Brook's concert and the Straw Hat crew's call to arms? What's going on?" Robin raised her sunglasses to her forehead and looked at the flyer in her hand, completely baffled.

"What's wrong with Sister Robin?" Apis, wearing a light blue pleated dress, asked in confusion as she rubbed the green rice dumpling in her hands.

"Shouldn't we go find Maggie's brothers? The Navy can just blow them away."

“The situation is a bit confusing. Let’s go to the bar first! Shakky will probably know something over there.” Robin replied, taking off his sunglasses and casually tossing away the flyer in his hand.

"Sister Robin, Sister Apis, that's a fake! A bunch of swindlers are impersonating us to expand our influence!" An excited voice came from the ground, startling the two of them. They looked up and around but couldn't find anyone.

"Next!" His tone was cheerful, but tinged with a hint of helplessness.

"Huh? Jack! Your fur is getting softer and softer." Apis looked down and finally saw Jack, a white tiger who was only half a meter tall, standing below them, wearing a baseball cap and holding a bubble ball full of pudding, secretly watching the two of them.

"Sister Apis, Sister Robin, it's been so long!" Jack transformed into human form and used his thick, upright tiger paws to hug the two of them tightly in his arms, his furry giant tiger head nuzzling their heads.

"Long time no see!" Robin said gently, stroking his soft fur.

"Shall we set off?" Robin asked, leaving the other's embrace.

“Yes, we’ve already bought all the food, vegetables, drinks, and daily necessities these past few days. Maggie said this is a world-famous tourist destination, so we’re free to do our own thing and buy some personal items we like,” Jack replied, transforming back into his fat cat form, grabbing the bubble rope he’d thrown away earlier, and leading the way.

"So that's how it is. It seems everyone's here." Robin said with a smile, reaching out to hug him and then walking forward.

"Hehe! It's been so long since I've seen you all." Apis said with a smile, stepped forward, took Robin's hand, and followed him.

···

"Hancock! I'm off!" In a narrow bay, Luffy jumped onto a small boat and waved goodbye to the ships behind him.

"Luffy, be careful on your journey! You must come back when you have the chance!" Marigold and the others stood on the ship's railing, reluctant to part, after all, Luffy was the first man they had ever met.

Until we meet again!

They moved forward, waving their oars.

···

Inside a dark theater, countless glow sticks fluttered in the air below the stage, while a frenzied DJ blared music on the stage.

If it weren't for Nami and Mia's familiar faces, and the star-struck crowd armed with weapons and guns, Mabi would feel like she had returned to Earth to participate in those crazy concerts.

Maggie forcefully pushed through the crowd in front of her, protecting the girl behind her from being crushed. Usopp, on the other hand, used his strong body to shield the two of them from the crushing pressure from behind.

"Whoa! The last one has finally arrived!" Standing at the very front of the stage, Maggie's entire soul scanned the entire Sabaody Archipelago like a radar. Seeing Luffy's landing, Maggie's lips curled into a smile.

Watching Brook frantically strumming his guitar on stage, the soul-stirring music emanating from his palms seemed to communicate with everyone's emotions. It appeared that his strength had reached a new level, and the development of the Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) was enough to allow him to control the souls of all living beings.

The Yomi Yomi no Mi (Revive-Revive Fruit) is functionally incompatible with its own Satish-Fish Fruit and Perona's Negative Fruit, which weakens the soul! And then there's the Soul-Soul Fruit, which can strip away the souls it grants!

Chapter 216 Gathering! Propaganda! The Straw Hat Crew Returns to the New World!

As the song ended, the fans in the audience were still reminiscing about the exciting memories of the performance.

A loud gunshot rang out in the silent theater!

"Stop the concert immediately!"

"Acting Captain of the Rumbar Pirates, 'Brock the Nose,' we suspect you are a member of the Straw Hat Pirates." Dozens of Marines, guns in hand, pointed at Brook on the stage and shouted sternly, but their trembling arms still betrayed their reluctance, not their calm.

"Oh dear! You guys found out! So you're the ones who snitched." Brooke calmly looked at the three figures who turned around, his heart unmoved.

“Brook, ever since you…”

"Get lost!" Upon seeing this, Mabi jumped up the steps and kicked the three agents away to stop them from talking nonsense and to save them from wasting time here.

"Brook wants to do his own thing, so let him do his own thing! Leave everything to us!" Nami, who also jumped onto the ring, ordered.

"That's 'Thunder Witch' Nami! They're the Straw Hat Pirates! The Straw Hat Pirates have been resurrected!" The panicked soldier saw Nami's figure and, filled with fear, immediately put his finger on the trigger.

A bullet, radiating intense heat and carrying the explosive force of an explosion, hurtled towards Nami's face.

"Ding!" A hand swiftly intercepted and pinched the bullet, cutting through layers of space, preventing it from advancing any further.

"Hummingbird!" With a series of swift movements, Mabi accurately fired finger-thick iron bolts into the gun barrel, clogging them and rendering them useless!

“Brook, keep going!” Maggie, who had stopped moving, stared at Brook’s face and smiled.

"We've got you covered!"

“Great! I’ll definitely give us a fantastic start!” Brooke nodded in agreement.

"Sing along! Dance along! Play music! Please play the last song with me."

"???" The slightly frightened girls asked in bewildered questions.

Seeing their fluctuating emotions, Brooke comforted them:

"Please don't be afraid! My companions are here, they will take care of everything."

Then, addressing all the fans present, he spoke in a deep voice from his empty mouth: "Today I have come to this island to sing because this island is an island of regret and helplessness where we bury our memories of failure, but it is also an island of dawn where we can start anew!"

As Brooke's voice rose again in fervor, everyone present was once again stirred by him, silently gazing at the King of Souls on the stage and his steadfast companions beside him.

"As for the rumors of 'Straw Hat Luffy's' death? I can only say that it's ridiculous. Now, please tell the whole world for me! Straw Hat Luffy is still alive!"

He will one day become the king of this vast ocean world; please let me use my last song to usher in the final dawn for our companions.

As soon as he finished speaking, the strings of the guitar in Brooke's palm vibrated! Exhilarating music emanated from his palm and spread throughout the entire square, instantly igniting the people who were still pondering.

Countless screams rose and fell, and everyone's emotions exploded instantly, offering Brooke the most intense blessings.

Maby watched the exciting scene with a smile; Brooke had truly given everyone a great gift.

Boom! Several bombs exploded from the ceiling, and a few flying fish shot out from the sky and rushed toward the stage.

“It’s the Rose Knights. Follow them, everyone.” Maggie looked at the familiar flying fish and knew that the people who had made the arrangements had arrived.

With Nami and Usopp each holding one of them, they tossed them into the air and landed them steadily in the back passenger seat. Brook and Mia also used their jumping ability to fly up at the same time. The group drew a circle and flew out again in the chaos.

"Perfect escape!" The five looked at each other with smiles and flew together toward the distant Sunny.

···

"Haha! Robin! Apis, it's been so long!" Mabi, flying in the sky, looked at the familiar figures on the deck and teleported over to embrace the two beauties, one big and one small.

They are the only two companions I haven't seen! I must make it up to them.

"Haha! It's been a long time, Mabi." Abi, who is only 1.4 meters tall, clung to Mabi's neck like a rag doll and wouldn't let go.

"It's been a long time. I'm sure everyone's back by now," Maggie said with a smile, cradling her in one arm.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Everyone, we're here too!" Angelia, radiating a pure white aura, arrived on the deck with Chopper and the others.
