One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

Sensing danger, the Fire Dragon King roared to the sky.

"Still yelling! Looks like you haven't learned your lesson yet," Mabi said angrily.

Chapter 243 Defend the Ship! Fire!

Click!

The portal, which had just closed, reopened, revealing the world inside.

"Hoohoo!"

A strong wind howled, and the violent airflow rushed towards everyone, blowing away the hot sweat on their bodies and bringing a refreshing feeling.

With dark red skin and a ferocious orange-red face, it darted out of the spatial passage, its wings flapping as it tried to disappear into the distance. But it felt a gaze fixed on it, a gaze that seemed to say, "If you run away, you won't live anymore." Turning back, it saw its master's figure again and, overjoyed, pounced towards him.

"It's done!"

Behind it, Mabi jumped back onto the deck. Little Green closed the portal again and laughed, then glanced at the dragon hiding behind Zoro, revealing a row of white teeth.

"Roar, roar." Upon seeing Maggie's appearance, its massive body moved closer to Zoro again, extending its tiny claws and roaring and gesturing wildly at Zoro while pointing at Maggie and lamenting its suffering. It was like a small woman bullied by a thug seeing someone who could stand up for her, hurriedly pouring out her pain.

"Chopper, Jack, do you think we should translate for everyone?" Apis, holding Chopper the reindeer in her arms and Jack the fat cat on her head, looked at her strangely.

“I don’t think so. Mabi has already punished it. It’s now talking about Mabi, Little Green, and Little Squid’s crimes, trying to bully them again.” Jack replied, resting his chin on his two thick tiger paws, his suspended hindquarters swaying back and forth as Apis walked.

"Well, I'd better not say anything." Chopper thought for a moment and nodded.

"Abby, teach it to get to know its companions." Mabi stood behind Abby, acting as the tiger to protect the little fox.

“Okay.” Apis nodded and slowly walked to the ship’s side, looking at the giant dragon in front of her.

The clear, childlike voice immediately made its body sway slightly. If it weren't for her, would she have been able to endure being beaten a second time?

"Can we chat, Little Dragon? Do you know if Maggie is the strongest person on the ship? Each of the older sisters is much stronger than him."

"Hey, Fire Dragon King, remember to listen to her. We're not allowed to attack our own kind here."

Having already complained to Zoro about his lack of action, the fire dragon knew that its new master wouldn't care about its companion's fondling of it.

The appearance of these demons, both large and small, and even more powerful than the demon that had beaten it up, sent a chill down its spine in the scorching heat, as if it could foresee its miserable future.

"You guys! You're getting more and more bizarre pets. Luffy caught a legendary octopus monster, and Zoro caught a dragon." Nami sighed, stroking the giant dragon's head in front of her. Luffy and the others were having a great time on its broad back, wide enough to host a banquet.

"It's alright. Anyway, there will be plenty of aerial battles in the future, and those who can't fly can also use it to get there quickly."

"Little Charmander, don't you think so?" Mabi laughed, unceremoniously using Zoro's personal mount as everyone's means of transportation.

"Roar!" Upon hearing Mabi's words, the other party hurriedly nodded in agreement, otherwise the woman in front of him, who was even more powerful than this demon king, would probably be sliced ​​into fish fillets immediately.

"Ready, Dragons, hurry up! I'm going to activate the Wind Cannon and anchor in that lake!" Franky, who was in charge of steering the ship, shouted to remind everyone to prepare, since the Wind Cannon would launch them into the air instantly if they weren't prepared.

"Okay, okay, let's go up!"

The entire deck was swept clean in an instant, and everyone ran up the fire dragon's head to ride on its back.

"Wind, Blast!" Franky roared as he watched everyone leave. A huge blast of air erupted from the stern of the ship, and the powerful reaction force carried the ship away from the scalding river water and into the distant lake.

"Hahaha! Hahaha! My friends, let's go on an adventure together!" Luffy laughed loudly, sitting on top of the fire pit.

"The Fire Dragon King has gone to Iceland; there's a distress signal there!"

"Hey! Wait, Luffy! Don't go yet!" Robin heard Luffy's shout and prepared to stop him.

But the strong wind pressure around her instantly dispersed her voice, and she rushed towards the snow-capped mountain.

···

"Mabi, aren't you going?" Franky asked after anchoring the ship.

"You guys go ahead, contact me via Den Den Mushi if anything comes up."

"I'll stay on the ship, since we've been attacked by the enemy before we even got ashore," Maggie replied, placing a deck chair on the deck.

The Sunshine was located in the middle of the lake, where the temperature was just right, neither too hot nor too cold, and it would become scorching hot and cold again once it left the area within fifty meters.

"Okay," Franky replied, crouching slightly.

"Frankie, I'll throw you over there, don't use your chrysanthemum cannon!" Mabi's expression changed instantly upon seeing that pose, and she immediately yelled.

"Wind Cannon".

Franky, who had already compressed the gas, ignored everything and a foul-smelling gas erupted, sending him flying into the air and hurled into the distant shore.

"That bastard!" Mabi cursed as she darted into the lookout tower and looked down at the gas-filled deck.

"Attack! Destroy that pirate ship!"

A roar echoed from the distant coast, accompanied by the sound of countless cannons firing, as dark bullets, carrying bright flashes, pointed directly at the Sunshine, which stood tall in the middle of the lake.

"Salted Fish Barrier!" With a wave of his hand, he created a spatial barrier and placed it on the ship's side. Immediately, cannonballs exploded on it, bursting into flames.

"Severing the Void!" It's not Mabi's style to just defend without counterattacking. She brandished her longsword and a colorless energy blade a full ten feet wide shot out instantly, arriving in the blink of an eye to face the enemy who was reloading.

Wherever the sharp air blades passed, cannon barrels, clothing, and bones shattered and broke. The remaining air blades even sank directly into the snow-capped mountains behind, forming a bottomless hole. The flying snowflakes rushed into the necks of the enemies, and the icy touch instantly cleared their minds. They hurriedly retreated, leaving behind a vacuum zone and their mangled bodies.

"Flying Slash, it's a samurai! Wasn't he cut into pieces and thrown into the snowy mountains by the Seven Warlords of the Sea? Why are there still samurai on this ship?" A pirate holding a long cannon swallowed hard as he looked at the bottomless hole and replied.

"They are sword masters! Sword masters in the New World can all unleash flying slashes, and legendary great sword masters can even slice a mountain in half with a single sword strike."

"This is terrifying, absolutely terrifying! What kind of people have we messed with?"

Seeing that Mabi had killed several of them with a single blow, they were immediately filled with lingering fear and gripped the cannon tightly, afraid that it might misfire and alert the enemy.

"I see it. The pirate flag is a skull with a huge straw hat on top."

"Straw Hat Skull? The Straw Hat Pirates! The most insane rookie pirate crew in legend. Their captain already had the strength to participate in the Marineford War two years ago."

"This is terrifying! This is terrifying! This is the legendary pirate crew that can stand up to an admiral! Why did we have to provoke them?!"

Confirming the ship's identity immediately instilled fear in the hearts of those who had just been sniping. Why had they provoked them in the first place?

"Hey, were you guys just shelling our ship?" an unfriendly voice suddenly rang out.

Turning their heads, they saw a yellow straw hat!

Their pupils contracted instantly, and they couldn't help but let out low growls.

"straw hat!"

"It's Straw Hat Luffy!"

"When did they appear in front of us?!"

Chapter 244 The Tragic Slime!

"Huh? That's Mabe's slash. You guys are really bullying our ship." Standing on the snow, Luffy pointed at the other party and shouted accusations. A gust of cold wind blew past, and Luffy, who was shirtless, suddenly shivered and hugged himself, his teeth chattering.

"Huff! So cold! Do I even need to look? Can Maple Slash hurt innocent people?" Usopp replied shakily, his arms wrapped around his shoulders. He turned to look at Chopper, who was covered in fur, and reached out to tug at his soft fur.

"Chopper, take off your clothes and let me wear them."

"Okay!" Chopper replied, grabbing his fur to take it off, but then he suddenly opened his huge mouth and roared fiercely at Usopp.

"Damn it, my fur can be shed!"

"Crunch! Crunch! Luffy and the others bullied our ship, we need to collect some interest." Zoro reluctantly left the fire dragon's body with his arms crossed, his eyes gleaming as he looked at the pirates with their strange limbs.

"Hoo hoo! It's so cold that Nami and the other girls are hiding in Jack's arms. This is absolutely unforgivable." Sanji looked at the five girls enjoying themselves in the fur of the giant Jack.

His eyes suddenly blazed with intense heat, baking the surrounding icebergs and snowflakes, causing them to flow and condense back into icicles. At the same time, his burning gaze swept over the enemy wearing a fur coat.

"Clothes, with clothes I can leave the other person's embrace!"

"You damned pirates, I'm going to kill you all!"

"Usopp, take off your clothes!"

"Okay!"

"Zoro, hold him down for me. I want this outfit."

A gentle breeze blows, and the mixture of hot and cold air brings a refreshing coolness to the center of the lake island.

Mabi lay lazily on the armchair, chewing on ice cubes she had just taken from the refrigerator, leisurely watching the figures of several people fooling around and stripping others of their clothes through her Observation Haki.

"What a ridiculous situation! Meeting Luffy is your bad luck. Whether you survive or not depends on your own fortune."

Looking up at the raging island, a slimy, soft creature, resembling a slime, was growing by consuming the surrounding poisonous gas. Even the intense heat couldn't hinder its growth; it wouldn't be long before it spread throughout the entire island and devoured all living things.

Various film and television Den Den Mushi (snail phones) had already been deployed around the lake island, waiting to be filmed, and everyone was just waiting to enter the ambush area to start the live broadcast.

He casually picked up the Den Den Mushi next to him and dialed a number. After only two rings, Franky's voice came from the other end.

"Hey, Maggie, is anyone there? It's so cold here, we just found some clothes."

"Okay, you should quickly find someone to take you into the research institute in the mountains next to yours. Someone is going to release a large amount of poison gas onto the island." Mabi sensed the staff in protective suits on the surrounding mountains and replied. They were busy repairing the last gas pipeline. At that slime's growth rate, it wouldn't be long before it grew to the size of half an island.

"Okay, got it. Take good care of the Sunshine."

“With me here, you’ll be fine. I’ll have Little Green follow you from another dimension. Let me know if you want to open a portal to another dimension,” Maggie replied. She then called Old Tong and told him to instruct Little Green to find Luffy and the others from the projection in the other dimension and follow them there.

"it is good!"

Franky agreed and discussed the matter with Luffy and the others before deciding to go to the research institute to find the distress signal and the samurai who committed the murder.

"Research Institute, you must go find our great master! I can take you there," the pirate with crocodile legs and a brown beard fawned.

Just you wait! Straw Hat Pirates, no matter how strong you are, you can't defeat the Seven Warlords of the Sea. I will definitely send you to Warlord Law. No matter how strong you are, you can't possibly take on a Warlord.

You're all going to die.

"Okay, you lead the way." Luffy said happily when he saw someone pointing the way, and sat directly on his head to give instructions.

Hmph! Straw Hat Boys, your time is up!

Humming a victory tune, Tea Beard ran forward at full speed, his four legs pounding with the joy of impending victory.
