One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

"Oh!"

"Find a safe place first!" Nami, adorned in gold and silver, shouted as she looked at the soldiers, civilians, and royal troops rushing towards them from afar.

"Haha! Haha! My silly little brother has caused you all trouble." Sabo laughed as he looked at Luffy, who was rubbing his head.

"This guy is alright except for being unreliable! You two older brothers must have had a lot of trouble taking care of this younger brother." Nami patted Luffy on the shoulder and replied.

"Haha! Haha!" Seeing Luffy's actions made him feel pain for his past self.

"Let's go! I've set up a barrier behind us so they can't see the direction we left in!" Mabi said, catching up from behind on the snow. They were already several kilometers away from the royal city, but the pursuers were still relentless, so they had no choice but to stop them first.

"Mabi! Is it all done?" Mia asked as she stepped forward.

“No problem! There’s nothing I can’t handle! I’ll take you back once things have calmed down.” Maggie handed her the Life Card and replied.

"We're back!" Zoro and Sanji, along with Chopper and Jack, brought back several mounts for transportation, as it was too troublesome to travel through these snowy mountains by human power.

"Alright! Let's go, crew!" Luffy picked up his pack and jumped onto the tamed beasts first. Then, they split into groups and climbed onto the beasts to get around, traversing the tall, dense forest.

···

"Is it really not allowed?"

After finding a place to rest, Mabi pulled Chopper and Angelia aside to see if they could heal Sabo.

“His head wounds have fully healed, but we can’t fix mental aspects like memory loss,” Chopper explained, pausing his work. Even as a surgeon, he struggled with memory issues.

“I can only repair the scars on his face; there’s no way to dispel the negative effects on his head,” Angelia said, shaking her head as well.

"I already know about my family! I'll probably come to my senses eventually." Sabo pretended to be relaxed and nonchalant, but deep down he also wanted to know about his experiences with his two brothers.

“I have a suggestion!” Maggie said, arms crossed and chin resting on one hand as she pondered.

“Since you’ve spent several years together, even if your brains don’t remember, your bodies still do. Why don’t you recreate your experiences together? That might stimulate the awakening of your brain memories.” So he took out two iron rods, each taller than a person, and stuck them into the ground. These were among the many supplies they had received, and they were meant to simulate water pipes. These were the weapons the three of them had used when they were young.

"Past experiences?" Luffy tilted his head in thought.

"Hunt wild animals, rob treasures, and go back to Dadan's house to sleep."

When Mabi heard his explanation, she was speechless. He really was an unruly brat.

“I think we can try hunting wild beasts!” Ace said with a friendly smile as his body burned.

"Are there wild beasts there?" Luffy asked, looking around in bewilderment.

"Isn't there a humanoid beast here?" Ace laughed, picking up the iron bar stuck in the ground.

"Ah! You mean Mabi? Haha, Mabi, then I'll leave it to you!" Luffy also realized what was going on and laughed loudly at Mabi, grabbing the iron rod with his hand.

"Luffy, I'm your comrade! You can't do this to me!" Maggie shouted when she saw Luffy's smile and Sabo's eager expression as he picked up the hose.

"Three people and three iron pipes! I think I've got an idea!"

"Dragon's Claw!"

"fire punch!"

"Rubber rocket launcher!"

"Shock the air! Stomp!"

Mabi, who had just unleashed a devastating attack, quickly fled. She was already capable of handling Ace alone, but now with the addition of his two brothers, she was being utterly thrashed.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!" The people who were tidying up and preparing for the banquet sighed helplessly as they heard the distant tremors.

"They've started fighting again!"

"My sword is itching! I want to try it too!" Zoro said excitedly, looking at the shockwave coming from afar, and ran towards the battlefield. How could he miss out on a battle?

"Haha! You lovely and beautiful ladies, I'm the only one here to keep you company." Sanji brandished a kitchen knife, occasionally stepping away from the counter with hearts in his eyes, showering the five women present with attention. For him, being surrounded by women without any other men was like paradise.

"Hurry up and cook your dishes." Nami, sitting at the table, pushed away the grumpy face that was leaning over and scolded with a smile, while continuing to focus on the batch of geographical maps she had just received.

"Turning the tables!" With a roar from Mabi, the powerful sound instantly echoed throughout the area, causing snowflakes to scatter from the trees and fall onto everyone's heads. In the distance, the mountains even witnessed a thunderous avalanche.

Then a boastful and arrogant voice rang out, filled with endless contempt!

"Haha! Haha! So these are the legendary three brothers? Let me see your strength!"

"Vibration! Shattering!"

"Crack!" A mountain peak near the battlefield shattered and countless rocks tumbled down amidst a powerful tremor.

"Jack, grow bigger!" Upon hearing this familiar voice, Nami's expression changed drastically. She quickly put away the blueprints, grabbed Jack who was eating cotton candy with Chopper, and shook him. These were some of the blueprints that Chopper had casually picked up from the store earlier.

"Hey, hey, hey! What's wrong, Nami-nee?" she asked, stuffing a handful of cotton candy into her mouth, which made it appear larger.

"No time to explain! Robin! Mia! Angelia! Koala! Chopper! Let's go!" she called out to the others as she climbed onto Jack's back.

Usopp, standing nearby, climbed up first without hesitation. He still vividly remembered Maggie's previous comeback, and he wouldn't show any mercy just because they were partners.

"Beautiful ladies, I'm here to protect you from the demons!" Sanji, knowing what was going on, stopped wielding his cleaver and placed the women behind him, calling out.

"What's wrong, Nami?" Mia asked, squatting down beside her. She was surprised to hear Nami's strong reaction to Mabi's voice, even though it sounded a little different from the usually amiable Mabi.

"That's Mabi's second personality! She has a devilish heart and power." Nami said with lingering fear, looking at the distant, shattering rocks and flames. This was countless times more powerful than before in the East Blue.

"Jack, go further! It's still not enough!" Nami, feeling insecure, continued to instruct Jack beneath her.

"A second personality? Maby has a second personality!" The women looked at each other, none of them having heard Maby mention it before.

"Is the second personality of that dead transvestite female?" Kella asked with a preconceived notion.

"No! The effects of the Devil Fruit split him into two people, but this won't happen unless he uses it at full power."

···

After an unknown amount of time, the entire world finally quieted down, and the sounds of tremors and explosions ceased. After Nami's explanation, the group remained suspended in mid-air, waiting for the victor to appear.

"Haha! Long time no see, my companions! How's your strength growing? Let me test you." Mabi, dressed in tattered clothes, appeared before the group and laughed.

"Ah! No! Thunderclouds!"

······

"My head hurts so much!" Mabi woke up from her deep sleep, patting her head. Every time she turned it on, it brought a series of aftereffects.

"Holy crap! Who dressed me in women's clothes?!" Mabi looked at the black and white maid outfit she was wearing, pulled up the skirt and saw that she was wearing white stockings underneath, with thick body hair peeking out from the fabric.

It's uncertain whether I can take them off after wearing them!

"Haha! Haha! Sabo, you finally remembered!" Luffy's laughter echoed from the distant firelight, along with the teasing voices of various girls.

"Hey! Everyone's having so much fun!" Mabi said with a smile as she walked out of the rest area.

"You bastard, get me some beer!" Nami, her body wrapped in bandages, saw Maggie approaching, grabbed her collar, and unleashed a bucket of beer, yelling angrily. Needless to say, the clothes were definitely Maggie's.

"Did I do all this?" Maggie asked, looking at the group around her who all bore some injuries, especially Luffy, Ace, and Sabo, who were wrapped up like mummies.

"Haha! Ace! Sabo! I told you Maple was strong!" Luffy laughed, patting his two older brothers beside him.

Ace: "Very powerful!"

Saab: "Better to control it better."

"Haha! Then I apologize to everyone!" Mabi stood up, holding a wine glass, and said apologetically.

Those present didn't seem to care and laughed heartily.

"Ha ha!"

"Ha ha!"

"Cheers to our new comrades!"

"Cheers to Luffy's brotherhood reunion!"

···

A few days later!

Windmill Village!

"Garp, you bastard! Look at the two grandsons you raised! They actually kidnapped and robbed people!" The white-bearded old man wearing a shirt with a heart pattern slammed a newspaper and a wanted poster on the counter and roared.

"Haha! I'll go and kill those two bastards!" The old man, wearing a navy justice cloak, laughed loudly after glancing at the newspaper.

"Hehe! Hehe!" The woman with short, emerald-green hair next to her covered her mouth and chuckled.

Cocoa West Village!

"Bastards! Bastards! Those bastards have corrupted Nami like this! I will never forgive them!" The village policeman, covered in scars, cursed as he looked at the wanted poster in his hand, but carefully put it away.

"Haha! Nami seems to be having a great time!" The blue-haired woman next to her picked up a newspaper and laughed as she looked at the familiar figure.

Frost Moon Village!

"Hey! Teacher, is this three-sword style swordsman really our senior brother?" A group of children with bamboo swords tucked into their waistbands asked loudly, holding a newspaper and a wanted poster.

"Yes! Yes!" The thin, bespectacled man sitting cross-legged on the ground replied, his face covered in cold sweat.

"Wow! We want to be like our senior brothers, become pirates, and steal princesses!" Hearing their teacher's agreement, they immediately became excited.

Did I do something wrong? But seeing the reward notice in the newspaper brought me some comfort!

Zoro, you've finally found your path.

Xiluobu Village!

"Kaya! Kaya! There's news about those two rascals!" The butler, wearing a sheep's head mask and holding a newspaper, burst into the study and shouted.

The girl in the pure white dress put down the documents in her hand and looked at the photos in the newspaper. Although her face was not visible, the familiar figure and the knife were enough to prove that it was him. She smiled, looked out the window at the sky, and gazed at the distant sea.

"Old Man Merry! He's finally awake!"

“Yes! The adventures on the sea are his life,” Merry said happily, tears welling in her eyes.

The floating restaurant "Baratie"

"Bastards! Bastards! How could these two bastards do such a thing!" The old man with two huge braids, a beard, and a white top hat shouted angrily, stomping on his prosthetic leg.

"Haha! Sanji has finally started targeting women! He even dares to steal a princess!" A group of chefs who were snatching newspapers to read the article laughed loudly.

New world!

"Dad! Dad! There's news about the Ace brothers."

"Kurara! Ace caught Teach!" The old man, covered in detection equipment and wearing a crescent-shaped hat, laughed heartily.
