One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

"Who are you talking about?" Luffy, who was oblivious to the world situation, looked at the stiff expressions on his companions' faces and asked in confusion.

"It's nothing! Just a nobody. We'll ask her later." Usopp stepped forward and covered Luffy's mouth, winking at Nami and Mami to make sure Luffy wasn't interested. If Luffy took it to heart, he might immediately start a war with one of the Four Emperors.

"That's right! That's right! Mabi, you said Charlotte Bellbell is a nobody, right?!" Nami, sweating profusely but barely suppressing her smile, reached out and slapped Mabi's firm back repeatedly.

It seems so!

Tell me now! Tell me now!

Sensing Nami's intense will to survive, Mabi couldn't help but chuckle!

It's definitely too early to face the Four Emperors.

"That's right, she's a nobody! When we see her, we'll capture her and use our Devil Fruit powers on her!"

“Look! Look! Maggie is just a nobody. We only need to say a few words and she’ll come right away,” Usopp said, pointing at Maggie and trying to persuade Luffy.

"Is that so! Haha, haha! Since she's just some nobody Mabi mentioned, she must not be very strong. We'll offer her gold later!" Luffy said carelessly after being persuaded by the others.

"Phew! That was close!" Usopp breathed a sigh of relief.

But then, as if remembering something, Xia Qi had just heard the name Lingling a few days ago.

You've really messed up Lingling!

His head clicked mechanically as it slowly turned toward Maby, only to see him smiling and nodding in acknowledgment.

*Pfft!* A mouthful of liquor sprayed directly into the sky, and the person fell backward.

“Very rigid and inflexible.” Abis, who was squatting beside Bartholomew Bear, withdrew her hand and shook her head.

"Can't we? We can communicate with him slowly in the future and help him recover one day." Mabi was a little disappointed as he looked at the figure squatting on the deck, letting Franky fix him. Despite his powerful body, he was the gentlest person in the entire pirate world. He was willing to give up his own life for some beliefs, and even after becoming a human weapon, he still considered the unexpected situations that he and others would suffer.

He took out the book he had given him, placed it in his hand, and gave instructions to Franky, who was repairing it.

"Frankie, fix him up and seal him away. If you happen to meet Vegapunk, ask him to try to see if he can regain his personality."

“Leave it to me. I can’t operate on his brain, but I’ll definitely repair his mechanical parts to make him even stronger than before,” Franky said confidently, giving a thumbs up.

“Merry brat, help me melt down the memory metal I got from Vegapunk’s hometown to replace the parts in his body.”

“Okay!” Merry dashed into the portal to move the metal.

"Who goes there!"

Several exclamations were heard as a giant ship, led by sea kings, charged directly toward the Sunny!

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The violent collision caused the Sunny's side to shake violently, and a figure resembling a tattered rag rushed in through the gap in the coating.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! Follow me, men! Let's wipe out the entire Straw Hat Pirates! All these beautiful women would be worth a fortune if we sold them as slaves!"

"Breaking through the air!"

"Hahaha! Hahaha! There are still people resisting! Minions, kill the one in black first."

······

At this moment, the world was completely silent, with only his own laughter echoing on the deck. The Straw Hat Pirates watched his antics with great interest, quietly enjoying his performance.

"My little ones! My little ones!" Even the dumbest person would realize that something was wrong. Turning around, they saw that the sea behind them was filled with broken limbs and debris, and the sails, now tattered into strips of cloth, were rising into the sky.

“Go!” Mabi stepped forward, grabbed his throat, and dragged him toward the stern of the boat.

"Ugh! Ugh! Ugh!" Despite the other party's fierce resistance, they still couldn't break free from Meby's steel-like arms.

"Let's go, let's go!" The group, who understood what Mabi was up to, joked and went about their own business. After all, they had just been eating and some things could easily affect their appetite.

"Merry is too strong. One ball of light destroyed a ship," Chopper remarked, having witnessed Maple's actions earlier.

"Really? I'd like to test my sword on him!" Zoro said with an evil grin.

"Ugh! Zoro, you're so scary!" Chopper complained before starting to eat the food in front of him.

After dealing with the aftermath, Mabi took out a palm-sized animal skin bag and tossed it to Sanji, who was starting to recover.

"Sanji, here you go! This small package made from the Swamp-Swamp Fruit has a submersion ability inside, so you can put some food and tools in it."

The method of activation is achieved by using overwhelming power.

"Thanks." Sanji took the bag Mabi tossed to him and stuffed it into his clothes. Using Devil Fruits as tools wasn't exactly a secret in the crew, but the fact that they could only be used by consuming stamina after absorbing Haki meant that they couldn't use them extensively.

"Haha! The more food the chef brings, the easier it is for us to eat." Maggie laughed, patting him on the shoulder, and turned to the bow of the ship to look at the underwater scenery with Jack.

"Hohoho! Miss Nami, Miss Mia, I also have a storage bag. Bring any clothes you need and I'll help you carry them." A pink halo emanated from Sanji as he opened the door and barged into the girls' dormitory.

"Get lost!" A leg flew out instantly, abruptly ending Sanji's joy.

"That bastard is still incorrigible." Maby shook her head from the ship's railing, no longer paying attention.

As the ship gradually descended and the surface grew darker, bright light shells were activated in everyone's hands, illuminating the ocean world for hundreds of meters around. Giant sea monsters, hundreds of meters long, slowly swam overhead, eliciting gasps of amazement from the crowd.

"Attention everyone! We're about to reach the deep sea! The deep-sea currents are about to appear!" Nami, who had put on her coat to keep warm, warned as the sails began to sway.

"Deep-sea currents?" someone asked immediately, and then Nami began to explain to a complete novice.

"Oh! So it's an incredible ocean current! What an exciting thing!" Luffy, Chopper, Jack, and Zoro immediately understood, picked up the tea that Mia had poured, leaned against the ship's railing, and began to admire the ocean current outside.

Nami was so angry that she started cursing:

"You bunch of bastards! This is the most dangerous ocean current in the ocean! Aren't you worried?!"

The sound of rushing water echoed throughout the deck as Mabi shouted as she looked at the waterfall-like flow of water in the dim light.

"Nami! The current is coming to the diving area!"

"Hahaha! There it is! There it is!"

In an instant, all the crew members gathered at the bow to witness this rare spectacle, while the Sunny sped forward with the current.

Chapter 220 Taming the Little Squid!

"Ahhh! How beautiful!" A massive current of water, thousands of meters wide, crisscrossed and twisted, causing the surrounding ocean to appear distorted and illusory. The strange scenery that appeared beside everyone caused them to exclaim in amazement.

"Nature truly lives up to its name; even beneath the calm surface of the sea lies such a dangerous area."

"Hehe! It really is quite beautiful. It would be wonderful to be able to see the wonders of the world." Robin chuckled as he dangled his legs over the outside of the ship's gunwale, holding a drawing board in his hand.

"Let's leave it to the Sunny. It will travel the world someday," Franky said with a smile, holding a cup of tea.

Usopp, who was looking around with his binoculars, spotted a strange figure. He quickly zoomed in and saw a familiar image.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! Kraken! Why is it here? This is not its habitat!"

“Kraken?” Robin laughed. As the ship sailed, a squid tentacle over a hundred meters long appeared before them, with wrecked ship debris floating around it.

Swish! Swish! Swish! Robin's pencils flew continuously, and a lifelike octopus appeared on the drawing board.

“It’s quite similar.” Maby, Jack, and Frankie nodded in unison as they looked at the painting.

"Thank you for the compliment!" Robin covered her mouth and chuckled.

"Wow! What a huge squid! I'm going to catch it and use it to pull the ship!" Luffy, who also witnessed this scene, was extremely excited with his eyes shining brightly.

"Mabi, can we keep it?"

Hearing Luffy's question, Maggie looked at the squid that was hundreds of meters long and nodded, "No problem, we can catch it and keep it for a few days. When we go to other islands, we can have Merry build a big swimming pool for it to live in, and let it out to pull the ship when it's free, so it can keep Old Tong and the others company."

"Mabi! Aren't you going to tell Luffy to stop?! That giant squid will crush the ship!"

"Don't worry, I'm here, the ship will be fine." Mabi laughed, ignoring Usopp's advice. Disintegrating her hundreds-of-meters-long body was a task she could complete in an instant, and she didn't care about it at all.

No sooner said than done! In the blink of an eye, the Kraken's thick tentacles appeared directly above their heads, charging towards them with enough force to shatter mountains.

"Get out!" Seeing this, Mabi roared, and a semi-circular barrier instantly formed in front of the Sunny, preventing its hundreds-of-meters-long tentacles from advancing even an inch.

The powerful impact caused it to let out a loud wail that carried far across the sea!

“It says it hurts so much!” Apis said.

Amidst the panic and excitement, the crowd looked up at Mabi with incredulous eyes. Just how powerful was this force that a mere roar could defend against his attack?

"Brother Mabi, can you use your Devil Fruit ability in seawater?" Angelia asked, her six pure white wings fluttering slightly. If she could really use her medical ray, she could break through the ocean's blockade and heal any comrades who fell into the ocean during a naval battle.

"No, what happened just now was merely the solidification of domineering energy within the ocean."

"Out-of-body Haki, you pervert, you've actually reached this level." Zoro and Sanji exchanged a glance, the distance between them and this freak growing ever wider.

"Haha! Mabi injured you, so I've come to subdue you!" Luffy laughed loudly as he watched it retreat.

"Frankie, help those three make some bubbles. Their hands are itchy if you don't."

"Watch me." Franky jumped down and explained how to use the coral bubble to them.

Before long, three figures, uttering excited sounds, rushed out and charged towards Kraken.

"Devil's Barbecue!" Under Sanji's control of the Carbon-Carbon Fruit, the dark red long legs instantly burst into flames, carrying intense heat that directly impacted the octopus tentacles, causing rings of white steam to spread and rush into the distance.

"The Ultimate Technique of the Three-Sword Style! The Six Paths of the Cross!"

Immediately following was Zoro's roar, and a crescent-shaped air blade flashed by, with dozens of squid slices, each several meters wide, stretching across the ocean, waiting for their master to eat them.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! You guys move aside, it's my turn! Gear Third Giant Pistol!" Luffy's roar finally rang out, and a giant fist with a diameter of ten meters tore through the thick ocean current and appeared directly above the Kraken, smashing down wildly!

Roar!Roar!Roar!

The massive fist slammed down, causing the Kraken lying on the seabed to bulge its eyes and roar violently from its enormous mouth, attempting to alleviate its physical pain. A shark dressed in red seized the opportunity to escape, giving a loud cry of gratitude to the three people in the water.

"Thank you for saving me. I need to find my master as soon as possible. I will take good care of you when you arrive at Fishman Island." Apis, acting as the translator, translated the shark's gratitude word for word.

"So it's a pet. No wonder it's so polite."

Usopp wiped away a bead of sweat, finally feeling relieved.

"But speaking of which, Luffy and his crew have such great power even in the sea. Just how much stronger have they become?!"

“They’re very strong. Everyone has changed a lot.” Mabi replied. In the past two years, everyone has improved several times over. Apart from the location she investigated, there is probably no place in the entire ocean that her companions cannot go.

"Frankie, speed up!" Maby suddenly sensed that the unconscious Kraken, attacked, was rolling downstream with the ocean current, and at the same time, his huge body was stirring up the current and pulling the three of them downwards.

"Alright! Hold on tight!" Franky roared, turning the helm and speeding down into the abyss with the ocean current.

Three bubbles floated around.
