One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

"This woman is incredibly powerful!" Everyone around Mebi was sweating profusely as they watched the lava being easily broken.

"Hawkins, where's your ship?" Maby asked. No crew members followed; only the captain came out.

“It’s too dangerous. I left them on the boat and let them go to the island themselves. They can run into them after walking around for a bit,” Hawkins replied.

“Alright, then please send us back, Mr. Third, is that alright?” Maby said with a smile.

"No... but yes, Miss Mabi, of course it's no problem." Mr. 3 replied with a smile. How could he disagree? He would probably just cut her off right away.

"What are you doing here?" Mabi asked as they took the opportunity of circling the island.

"Chase a boy wearing a straw hat and a swordsman with three knives," Mr. 3 said casually, quickly sending her away to chase after the boy in the straw hat.

“Oh, I see! Would you believe me if I said I was their first mate?” Mabi said in a deep voice.

"First mate!" The three Baroque agents were stunned. The enemy they were trying to capture, the first mate, was causing trouble on this very ship.

Mabi laughed as she looked at the three people posing in front of her.

"Want to duel? All three of you seem to be Devil Fruit users. I wonder who will be able to hold out on the sea."

"Candle Shackles!"

"Earth Dragon Banana Slap!"

"Attack relentlessly!"

Three attacks are coming at once! We have no choice but to fight for the mission.

"Shockwave!" Without saying another word, Mabi launched a shockwave attack and immediately withdrew.

"Crack!" The flimsy boat couldn't withstand the strong impact and split in two. The three men and one dog on the other side were thrown over by the two-ton iron bar.

"Hawkins, you!" Maby turned around to pull Hawkins away, but saw him calmly floating on the sea, looking this way.

"A Devil Fruit ability! It allows me to make my body as light as a straw and float on the sea surface." Knowing Maggie's question, he replied directly. As for why he didn't lose his ability, as long as he didn't come into contact with the sea surface, there would be no problem of the ability disappearing.

"That's a great ability. Well then, I'm sorry! I was going to have them send you back, but now that you're lighter, I'll send you back myself." Mabi looked at the empty sea and assumed the other person had already sunk. After all, it wouldn't be easy for someone with three Devil Fruits and a strong body to escape on the ocean.

"it is good!"

"Let's go!" Mabi grabbed him by the collar and flew into the air to find a ship.

"It's the captain! The captain's over there! Who's that woman?" Maby, hearing the shouts from the ship, probably already knew whose ship it was. She simply threw him overboard, having just seen the Going Merry being shelled, and wondered what problems it had encountered.

Hawkins landed lightly on the deck, stood up, and looked at Maby as she walked away.

"What an interesting woman!"

"Captain! Captain!"

"It's alright!" he said with a smile, looking at the worried crew members.

"Straw Hat Luffy, try my new creation! This is a super Buggy bomb designed just for you! It explodes the moment you touch it, it will definitely kill you!" Buggy, who had already returned to the ship, became arrogant and turned to the little girl who was tied up, and said fiercely.

"You little brat, how dare you control this captain! After killing the Straw Hat, it'll be your turn!"

"You bastard! Red-nosed clown, how dare you bully a little girl! I will never forgive you!" Sanji immediately pulled out a cannonball and kicked it.

"Boom!" The mainmast made a snapping sound.

"You bastard! How dare you call me the Red-Nosed Clown! Bring the Bucky Barrel!"

"Young man! How can you bear to let me fall into the sea?" At that moment, a woman on the side of the ship winked at Sanji.

"Wow! Beautiful lady, I will absolutely not attack the ship again!" She kicked a cannonball directly at the giant lion!

Leakey, sprawled on the ground, puffing out blue smoke, said, "What did I do wrong that I deserve to be shelled?"

"You despicable woman! You stole my spoils!" she cursed as she saw Mabi and the little girl Bucky in her arms flash by.

“Red-nosed clown! It’s wrong to bully little girls.” Mabi turned around and shouted at him, picking up Golden Week and holding him in her arms.

"Bomb him! He dared to call me red-nosed!" He immediately ordered his men to fire the cannonballs.

"Hummingbird!" Mabi casually launched a flying shuttle and inserted it into the cannon barrel.

"Boom!" The ammunition that was just about to be fired exploded in the barrel, sending the surrounding crowd flying in all directions.

"I will not let you get away with this!"

···

"How could that red-nosed clown Buggy lay a hand on such a cute little girl?" Nami muttered to herself as she untied Goldenweek's ropes.

"Hmm!" The little girl untied her backpack, opened it, and held it out to Mabi.

"You're treating me to a meal?" Maggie asked doubtfully.

"Yes, yes!" the other person nodded in response.

Thanks!

"What? I want some too!" Luffy asked curiously, sticking his head out.

"Hey! Rice crackers! Let's have a rice cracker feast!"

"Idiot, you're throwing a party over just a few pieces? Those are little girls' snacks." Nami slapped him, but Luffy accidentally snatched the senbei away.

Mia covered her mouth and chuckled as she watched the people in the melee fight over a single rice cracker.

"Zoro, what did you encounter? Baroque Works is about to attack you," Mabi asked after washing off the blood.

"Things? It's a woman we picked up from inside! She's the one Baroque wanted to assassinate?" Zoro asked, puzzled upon hearing the familiar name.

"There, let me see!" Maggie wanted to see which familiar person it was, ignoring Usopp, Luffy, Jack, and George who were fighting over food.

"Nami's room!"

Chapter 40 Nico Robin Being Hunted

"Nicole Robin!" Mabi discovered her identity after entering. How could Crocodile have seen the stone carving so quickly? Was he there to kill her and silence her?

"It seems this little sister knows my identity and needs to hand me over to the Navy?" Robin was not surprised that Maggie had revealed her identity; she knew her identity simply by looking at the bounty posters regularly.

"Hand it over? No need. But Miss Robin, can you tell me why you're being hunted by Baroque Works?" Maggie stepped forward, extended her index finger, lifted her chin, and asked softly. Looking at her with such tenderness and an alluring expression, it was irresistible.

"Mabi! How could you..." A sinister voice rang out from behind.

"Hey, hey, Nami, listen to me!" Nami hurriedly explained as she walked over.

"No need to say more, seeing is believing."

"Boom! Boom!"

"I was just asking a question!" Maggie muttered to herself, picking up the bandages she hadn't yet put away and using them to tie up the area on her arm where those two bastards had been lodging. Who knew that the leather sheath could actually stick to the skin and assimilate, leaving only a few unsightly characters imprinted on it. Little did she know that the look of shock on Robin's face immediately vanished after her eyes swept over those characters.

"Hehe! She did ask some questions!" Robin said, trying to help Maggie who was injured and covering her mouth.

"Really? He's a man!" Nami's lips twitched. Anyone would see Mami dressed as a woman as a woman.

"A man!" Robin, leaning against the headboard, was speechless for a moment. This was the first time he had met a man more beautiful than a woman after wandering for so long. He turned his head and stared at Maggie as if asking what the action just now meant.

"Haha! I'll go out and take a look!" Mabi laughed it off, after all, she had only wanted to tease him on a whim.

"Wow!"

"Who goes there!"

"Don't bully little girls."

"Candle wall!"

"Mr.3".

"Golden Week, get out of here! They're ruthless pirates, and you guys have to hand over Nico Robin!" Mr. 3 immediately created a giant wall of candles to block Luffy and the others' attack, while a slide built behind it led to a candle-formed ship on the side.

During Golden Week, after glancing at his partner and benefactor, he still chose to take the slide over.

"Haha! Straw Hat Boy, I didn't expect you guys to run into enemies too. Well then, I'll lend you a hand." At this moment, Bucky and his group, who had also repaired their boat and rushed over from behind, shouted back.

"Pakistan missile launched!"

"Cloud Hand! Here you go!" Mabi used her already skilled Qi to reach out and intercept the trajectory of the opponent's cannonball, forcibly changing its flight path. She then spun around and swept the cannonball in a half-arc motion, sending it flying back.

"Baki bounced back! Run!"

"Slip-Slip Fruit Launch!"

An arm was stretched out to meet the rapidly approaching Pakistani missile. At the moment of contact, the missile was ejected to the side by the angle of the skin and fell into the sea, where it exploded with a bang.

"Haha! Thanks a lot, Alvida!" Buggy turned around and thanked her.

"Haha! That wretched woman, the Bucky Bomb can't hit me."

"Boom! Boom!"

"Captain Bucky! The cabin is leaking and the mast is broken!" Before he could finish speaking, a cannon shot and a slash broke the mast, and the ship could no longer sail.

"This is pointless." Mabi shook her head, feeling that this was bullying a child, and returned to the ship.

"Haha! You can't break through my wall, which is comparable to steel. You'd better hand over the person obediently, or I'll destroy this ship." All the suffering from his previous setbacks was vented on this ship.

"Is that so? Shoulder meat!" Sanji suddenly attacked from the sea.

"Damn it! Candle Shackles!" The man, slumped on the ground clutching his injured shoulder, saw the black foot about to kick him again and waved his hand, conjuring a ball of candles to pass by.

"Beat the candles!" Mr. 4, who was standing to the side and in charge of defense, stretched out a white baseball bat to intercept Zoro who jumped over from above.

What a powerful force! Zoro stood on the mast, swinging his arm, which ached from the direct impact.

“Merry Christmas! If you dare to sabotage the ship, I don’t mind cutting you into pieces and feeding you to the fish,” Mabi threatened the woman who had just turned into a mole.

"Me! Me!" The other person's body trembled. The scene before was still vivid in their mind. If Mr. 3 hadn't created a wax ball to cover the four of them, they would have fallen into the deep sea long ago. Now, their favorite celebrity wanted to kill them, while on the other hand, they were facing the punishment of being killed if they didn't complete the mission. They were hesitating and struggling.

"You don't have to go back if you don't complete the mission..." Mabi, sensing an alarm, jumped away and landed a baseball in the same spot, erupting in a fit of rage.

"Luffy, what are you doing!" Maggie turned around to look in the direction the attack came from, and saw Luffy holding a dachshund and spitting out baseballs that were flying around everywhere. The one from earlier was undoubtedly his handiwork.

"Haha! Mabi is such a fun dog, she can spit out cannonballs, I want her to be my partner."

Luffy hugged the sausage in his arms and started dancing and laughing.

"Idiot! But don't just hold it and fire randomly!"
