One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

"it is good!"

Inside the base not far from Maple, Smoker observed the commotion in the plaza, exhaling smoke rings. The rapid exhalations of smoke reflected his current emotions; the pirate crew of over a hundred men had to be gathered together and kept there.

"Zoro! Sanji! This is Luffy's enemy! Attack!" Seeing this situation, Maggie didn't give them any time to speak and immediately slashed at Buggy in the distance.

"Who goes there? How dare you ruin Bucky's revenge!"

With his upper body severed, Bucky hovered in the air, looking around and cursing.

"Hahaha! Mapi, Zoro, Sanji, you're here!" Luffy, who was already trapped on the wooden plank, burst into laughter when he saw the three running towards him.

"Idiot, get out of here!" He kicked Cabaji, who was sitting on top, away and pulled Luffy up from below.

"Haha! Mami, I knew you guys came back to save me!" Luffy replied with a grin, completely unaware that someone had almost died just moments before.

at the same time!

"Order the arrest plan! Capture the Buggy Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates! Who is that little girl? She can use flying slashes and possesses the strength of a swordsman!" Smoker shouted, exhaling his cigar.

"I don't know! The Straw Hat Pirates have no information about her!"

"Characters who can use flying slashes are definitely worth paying attention to!"

"It's her! She's a pirate too! Women can be strong too, but why would a woman as strong as you become a pirate?" Tashigi, standing beside her, looked at the figures fighting in the distance and was immediately confused.

"Sergeant Tashigi! Sergeant Tashigi!" He only came to his senses after hearing the urgent shouts.

"Colonel Smoker! I'll get right on it!"

"This girl! She's daydreaming at this hour!"

···

"Hahaha! Hahaha! Little girl, your sword is useless against me. My Chop-Chop Fruit can dodge any slash!" Buggy floated in the air and laughed maniacally at Maggie who was slashing at him.

"Really? It shook the air!"

"Cough! Cough!" The hit areas showed bloody marks directly on the skin, indicating that the skin had been damaged and injured.

"How is that possible! I'm the human least afraid of being slashed!" Bucky roared, wiping the blood from his mouth.

There are many things you don't know!

The navy, which had already surrounded them, opened their large cannons and aimed them at the pirates fighting together. Countless armed navy personnel were on standby to prevent anyone from escaping.

"emission!"

"emission!"

Nets rained down from the sky, enveloping everyone, while navy personnel immediately pulled ropes to tighten them inwards.

"Let me out... Ouch..." Luffy immediately went limp and let out a weak groan as his palm touched the rope net.

"Sanji! You carry Luffy on your back, Zoro and I will cut it down!" Maple shoved the limp Luffy to Sanji and slashed upwards with her longsword!

"Whoosh!" The sturdy rope net was no match for the sharpness of the Onikiri and tore through it.

"Go!" He used the back of his sword to strike the heads of the chaotic pirates who were trying to escape, urging Sanji and Zoro to run ahead.

"Get out of here! Shake the air!" Mabi jumped out and knocked away a rope net that was trying to come to her aid, leaping after the two who were fighting while running.

"Get my motorcycle! I'm going to chase them down!" Smoker ordered Luffy and the others as they fled. Ever since witnessing Maple's flying slash, he knew that these weapons wouldn't be enough to stop swordsmen trying to escape; he needed to go out and capture them himself.

Chapter 29 Encounter! Namo Amitabha!

"Zoro! I'll hold them off! You and Sanji go first!" Maggie turned back to look at the pursuers behind her, stopped, and left alone.

"Roronoa Sauron! And the woman with the sword! You both stop right there!"

"What's up?" Mabi asked Tashigi, who had come in the rain.

"Why don't you become Marines to uphold justice! Instead, you're acting as pirates, bringing shame upon those famous swords!" Tashigi was furious. She had been deceived all along, allowing two pirates to walk right past her with famous swords!

"Who the hell are you! What do you think I am? Is the Navy always righteous?" Maby immediately cursed. Sure enough, that naive and innocent girl was too well protected by Smoker.

"The Navy is always right!" Tashigi replied solemnly. From the moment she joined the Navy, she believed in absolute justice, for only the Navy could eliminate pirates.

"Get lost! I don't have time for your nonsense! Shake the air!" Mabi saw that she had been brainwashed for too long and took action directly, not wanting to have a pointless theoretical discussion with her. She would wait until she saw what the Navy's justice was like in the future.

"Boom!" Mabi's powerful shockwave ability was directly revealed by the shattering of the rain, and the huge circular barrier was clearly seen by Tashigi and the Marines behind her.

"Stop!" The loud roar did not stop Mabi's attack. The instantaneous air explosion sent a string of marines flying against the wall, their fates unknown.

"Why! Why! Why kill them!"

Tashigi squatted on the ground and roared at Maggie, then looked at the limp Marines around her and couldn't help but cry.

"Is that so? Are you an idiot? If it weren't for the fact that some of you still held onto your sense of justice, you wouldn't have just sent them flying!" Mabi sheathed her knife and said coldly, then turned and left.

"Sergeant Tashigi!" The navy officer lying on the ground groaned. He had heard everything they said. He couldn't let her pursue them anymore! It was too dangerous!

"Tashigi, my little sister!" A series of groans rang out.

"Everyone is safe and sound!"

···

"Hey! Who are you?!" Luffy flailed wildly at the ground, powerless to resist Smoker pressing down on him.

"Straw Hat Boy! You can't escape!" On a straight street, Maggie saw Luffy being forcibly pressed and rubbed against the ground by Smoker from afar!

That idiot! He hasn't changed at all. I don't know if the air attack I taught him worked or not. I didn't encounter any Logia-type abilities, but judging from the marks on Luffy's body, it still had some effect.

"Gum-Gum! Gum-Gum! Shrink Cannon!" Suddenly, Luffy's arm shot out backward, piercing through the smoke behind him!

"I told you! Your fist is no match for me... Ah!!" Before he could finish speaking, the fist that had passed through his body retracted with intense air pressure and slammed into his own fist! A lot of smoke was drawn in with it, and it exploded directly in the smoke that Smoker had condensed.

"Haha! Mabi's teachings are really effective!" Luffy, who had been released, hurriedly darted out and looked back, laughing heartily.

"Haki! I didn't expect there would be someone in the East Blue who can use Haki. It seems I underestimated you!" Smoker condensed his body, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and withdrew his contemptuous gaze. He drew his Jitte from behind his back and became serious. It wasn't as powerful as Haki, but it was enough to make him take it seriously.

Just now, only Mabi, who was far away, noticed the figure that flashed past behind them.

"Did Monkey D. Dragon sense that Luffy was coming here and want to stay with him for a while?" Maggie looked at the scene before her and had no intention of helping. With her father helping her, she didn't need to lift a finger.

"Haha! I'm not playing with you anymore, my crew is waiting for me! Maggie, let's go!" Luffy laughed and told Maggie to leave.

"You have no choice!" Seeing Luffy turn to leave, Desire swung his ten-handed sword and smashed it!

"Cloud-Dispelling Palm!" Mabi shattered the ground and used the powerful reaction force to appear in front of Smoker. Her hand, which was placed at her waist, instantly gathered power, twisted her waist, and struck Smoker's abdomen.

"Whoosh!" The intense air pressure exploded close to his body, directly blasting Smoker away from mid-air! He flew out as a white shadow, causing nearby buildings to collapse.

"Luffy! Let's go!" Maggie didn't even look at the outcome of the battle before urging Luffy to leave. This amount of power couldn't hurt him at all; now was not the time for a prolonged fight.

"Haha! Mei is so strong, you knocked her away in one go! You're going to be my first mate from now on!" Luffy said with a laugh as he ran.

"I am! I'm self-appointed!" Maggie retorted, although the crew had already tacitly accepted Maggie as the vice-captain, leaving only Luffy to speak up.

"Haha! Haha! Let's go to Laugh Tale together! Cough cough! Cough cough!" Luffy, who was running, was about to laugh when he was choked by the rain pouring down from the sky.

"Don't worry, I will definitely go!" Mabi affirmed. From the moment she was reborn into this world, she wanted to stand at the top of this world. However, things didn't go as planned. After eating the fruit, she became a useless person and her will was depressed for several years. Later, she followed the fleet to travel to the East China Sea to learn from a master and frantically train her physical skills and swordsmanship in order to gain strong strength to protect her father and others! But after being sent out by her father, she saw what happened to Jack's hometown and realized that protection was always based on strong strength.

"Mmm! Rubber rubber!"

"Don't move, I'll take you away!" Maggie refused Luffy's actions and the Going Merry, which had already left the shore, because she knew that doing so would cause him pain.

"Haha! Mine's faster!" But Mabi didn't give him a chance and immediately picked him up and ran through the air!

"Haha! Friends, let's set sail!"

"Haha! Haha! Let's set sail!"

After getting ready, everyone lowered the sails and set sail!

"Let's make an oath!" Nami shouted, carrying a barrel of sake out of the storeroom as she gazed towards the Grand Line.

"Haha! Let's take the oath!" the crowd laughed, stopping what they were doing, and gathered together.

Luffy was the first to put his foot on it and shout.

"Haha! I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

Maggie looked up at the sky, thinking about all the things that led to her going out to sea, from being sent off to her conversation with Mr. Zeff to the vow she was about to make.

"Even a salted fish can have dreams! I want to become the strongest man in the world! Strong enough to protect my family!"

"Roar! I will become strong enough to protect my homeland!" Jack roared as he transformed into human form, Maggie's words touching a raw nerve.

"I will become the strongest swordsman!" Zoro challenged Maple, for the strongest is inherently contradictory!

"I'm not afraid of you!" Mabi gave him a look that said, accepting the challenge.

"I want to find the legendary All Blue!" Sanji stated his dream directly, which was to have an endless supply of all kinds of ingredients and never have to worry about food again!

"Me! Me!" Nami couldn't say anything at this moment! She wanted to fill the entire world with a map, but Maggie and Jack's oath also influenced her decision. Wasn't her hometown caused by her own lack of strength?

"Nami! We will protect your homeland!" Mami, seeing Mami's conflicted expression, immediately understood what was going on.

"Nami!"

"Nami!"

···

Looking at the smiling faces around her, Nami already knew what she wanted!

"I want to draw a map that covers the entire world!"

"Haha! Haha!" the crowd laughed in unison, then kicked the wine barrel beneath their feet and smashed it!

···

“Speaking of which, with such a rapid current, isn’t there a chance that two ships might collide?” Maggie asked Nami, who was observing the current.

"No, the Four Seas Channel, which is hundreds of meters wide, is wide enough for any ship to pass through. It's even more spacious there! There's no chance of a collision!" Nami explained without turning her head.

"Is that so!" Mabi looked at the golden light in front of her and the ship-shaped outline behind her, her lips twitching, and then she roared.

"Watch out, there's going to be a collision!"

"Ah! A collision!" The group, who had just begun to breathe a sigh of relief after navigating the turbulent river, suddenly tensed up.

"Balloon!" Luffy instantly grew larger and waited to be separated from the ship in time for the collision.
