One Piece: The Salted Fish Fruit

"You damn green-haired bastard! I'll kick you to death!" Sanji, whose sore spot had been hit, was instantly enraged.

"One hundred and twenty million! You're amazing!" Zoro said disdainfully, placing his bounty warrant in front of him.

"Damn it! Damn it! I'll surpass you sooner or later!"

"One hundred and twenty million! I'll take you!" The year of retaking the exam begins!

"First cut of meat!"

"Bang!" Another round of battle begins!

"I didn't expect to have a bounty on me! But it's so little!" Angelia said with a light, disappointed voice as she looked at the bounty she had, which was only 25 million Berries.

"What's wrong with Chopper?" I asked, looking at Chopper who was standing there frozen like a doll.

"Click! Click! Click!" Chopper, moving like a machine, replied to Angelia who had asked him a question.

"Angelia! I have so little! Not even as much as a newspaper!"

"Haha! Chopper! Don't worry, this is just the beginning! It will increase further." Angelia laughed, stroking Chopper's round head and tossing her long, smooth, silvery-white hair.

"But where is Mabi's bounty? I haven't seen him there. He's so strong, he should have a pretty big bounty!"

“Angelia! Over here!” Mia silently handed over a bounty poster in response.

"Hey! Ten Berries!" A sudden shout jolted everyone out of their daze, their sadness, and their joy.

"Whose? Ten Berries?"

"It's Mabe's!"

"You pervert!" x2.

"Mabi?"

"Mabi?"

Upon hearing that it was Maggie's bounty, everyone immediately crowded around to take a look!

"Haha! Ten Berries! That pervert even got his picture published." Sanji burst into laughter upon seeing the wanted poster, but then he remembered his own wanted poster and froze, his own poster having nothing to do with being a bounty. It was nowhere near as good as this ten-Berry bounty!

"Ten Berries! Even a cotton candy costs twenty Berries! Mabe isn't even worth a cotton candy!" Chopper looked at the bounty and immediately became indifferent to his own bounty of only fifty Berries.

"Heh heh! Now I'm at the bottom!" Zoro chuckled.

"Ten Berries! Why is his bounty so low! And mine is so high!" Nami burst into tears upon seeing the ten Berries bounty on her head.

"Ah! Straw Hat Brother! Sisters! That's not what we're talking about!" Franky's family suddenly reminded them, seeing the Straw Hat crew engrossed in their bounty.

"Our eldest brother is wanted! If he stays on the island, the navy will come looking for him sooner or later! I would like to ask you to bring our eldest brother onto the ship!"

"Haha! No problem! Maple has always said he wants Franky to join the crew!" Luffy laughed heartily upon hearing their reply, then turned to his crewmates.

"Guys! Let's begin! Operation Franky Kidnapping!"

"no problem!"

"It's time to start the talent acquisition plan!"

"Haha! I'm so excited!"

"Then, Straw Hat Brother! Ladies! I'm counting on you all for Franky!"

"Ha ha ha ha!"

"Leave it to us!"

Meanwhile! Panaro Island!

"Hahaha! What an incredible newcomer, Monkey D. Luffy! He actually led his crew on a crazy attack on Enies Lobby, and the whole crew retreated! Hahahaha!" A burly man with missing front teeth, a bottle of rum at his waist, and a thick black beard looked at the newspaper in his hand and laughed wildly!

"According to the information above! They are resting in Water Seven!" The bespectacled man, holding a long spear, flipped through the newspaper to check for hidden information and gave a reminder.

"Hahaha! It's not far from here! Let's use it as our stepping stone! Hahahaha!" Hearing his partner's reminder, he immediately understood everything and burst into wild laughter! They were getting closer and closer to their goal!

"Looks like George was right! You really are here, Teach!" A clear, cold voice rang out! The icy, emotionless tone instantly made the noisy crowd feel as if they were being pierced by ice, and they turned to stare at the voice!

Chapter 137 A Man Should Strive for Self-Improvement!

"Haha! Haha! Give it to me!" Luffy stood on the rooftop, stretching out his arm and laughing confidently at a Franky family member who was slumped on the ground.

"Ah! It's Brother Straw Hat! Here, don't let him take it away!"

"Haha! Leave it to us! Pirates don't give up their treasures easily." Luffy, standing on the rooftop clutching his black briefs, laughed heartily as he watched the smoke rushing towards them.

"Damn it! Straw Hat Boy, give it to me! I told you I wouldn't board your ship!" Franky roared angrily as he sped towards the figure standing on the rooftop and the target in his hand.

"Haha! Franky! Bring it on if you want it!"

"Haha! Watch my Exploding Wind Cannon! Straw Hat Luffy, thanks to your first mate for giving me some seashells! Their capacity is dozens of times that of a cola bottle! With them, my fighting power is ten times what it was a few days ago!" Watching Luffy bounce around, Franky laughed wildly, his thick arms rapidly bulging and compressing! One after another, circular wind cannons erupted at a visible speed, frantically crashing towards the distant buildings!

"Boom! Boom!" With the bursting of the air cannon, all buildings within a radius of several hundred meters collapsed instantly under the intense impact, and countless broken stones flew wildly in all directions.

"Hey! Hey! Hey! When did this guy get so strong! His destructive power is ten times stronger than before!" Luffy jumped back and forth, dodging the rocks in the air, and complained while looking at the broken ruins behind him.

"Who knows what that perverted guy gave him that allows him to fire air cannons indefinitely!" Sanji, who also jumped over, cursed as he looked back at Luffy.

"If you see him, you must kill him! Let him give people away indiscriminately! You can't get close to him in this situation!" Zoro raised his hand and cleaved through the building that had just fallen from the sky. Franky's frenzied barrage had left Zoro with lingering fear.

"Haha! Why aren't you guys here! I'm waiting for you here!" Franky, perched atop a building, struck a pose and gazed in this direction! In an instant, a dazzling light blinded everyone who witnessed it.

"Oh my god! This pervert actually showed up on the rooftop!"

"That bastard Franky actually showed off this!"

"Damn it! Kids shouldn't watch this!"

"Take the women and children back!"

"Miss?"

"Ah! I wasn't looking!"

"Iron Cloud Whip!"

"Chains of God!"

"Frankie, you big pervert! Am I blind?!" With an angry shout, Frankie, who was still posing coolly on the roof, was suddenly bound tightly by two chains that fell from the sky, and his whole body plummeted downwards.

"Ah! Is this the feeling of being moved? Has a beautiful and holy angel come to save us lost sheep?" Gazing at the pure white figure in the sky, Sanji knelt down on one knee, one hand covering his heart and the other reaching towards the sky, lost in ecstasy.

"It's me!" Jack, now in human form, stood on a cloud with his arms crossed, looking down at the three people on the ground with disdain.

"Luffy! Zoro! Sanji! Nami sent us to help you because she was worried something might happen to you, but you actually let Angelia watch this kind of disgusting stuff! How is she supposed to face anyone after this?!"

"Haha! Sorry! We didn't expect him to dare to do that!" Luffy scratched his head and laughed, then looked at Franky struggling over there in shock.

"Just another pervert, just like that damn pervert!" Zoro muttered beside him.

"Is it so spicy that my angel sister's eyes need me to kick them apart?"

"Pervert! Pervert! Pervert! You three are just as perverted as him! Taking off his briefs in broad daylight!" Angelia, who was completely buried in Jack's soft fur, loosened the white wings that were covering the top of her head, pointed her finger at the three people standing on the ground, and cursed them. Then she pulled her snow-white head back and lay on Jack's back, her white wings tightly wrapped around her body, not daring to show herself.

"Ah! Ah! Ah! You bunch of bastards, let me go right now!" Franky, who was tightly bound by the Iron Cloud Whip and had only his head showing, struggled and roared wildly on the ground.

"Straw Hat brothers! Hurry up and stuff Big Brother into our all-powerful cannon! Let's head straight to Shipwreck Island!" Franky's family shouted as they saw Luffy and his two companions being scolded pushing the cannon towards them from behind.

"Oh! Ah! Okay! No problem!" This is not the time to argue about who is the pervert. Luffy took the lead, picked up the tied-up Franky, and stuffed him into the cannon.

"You bunch of bastards! Let me go!" Franky roared from inside the cannon.

"Sorry, Boss Franky! Ignition! Fire!" A round member of the Franky family apologized and immediately fired the cannon!

"I'll come back and slaughter you all!" With a roar, Franky was thrown far into the distance.

"Wow! That's fast! We can't fall behind!" Luffy shouted, shading his eyes with his hand as he watched the receding shadows.

"Jack!"

"No problem! Iron Cloud Bridge!" A cloud path was born directly from beneath its feet and soared into the sky!

"Let's go, everyone! We're the only ones who haven't arrived yet!" Luffy shouted as he jumped onto the Iron Cloud Bridge after it appeared.

"I'm sorry! Angela had to resort to this method to get him on board!" Sanji, running on the Iron Cloud Bridge, looked apologetically at Angela, who was clinging to Jack's back.

"You can't take his pants off! Ah! My eyes!" Angelia screamed as soon as she recalled the scene before her, curled up on Jack's back.

"Just break his legs and drag him onto the boat! I can give him a perfect cure later!"

"···"

"Even more ruthless than us!" the three running figures retorted upon hearing Angelia's reply.

···

"Hey! Everyone, we're back!" Luffy sat on a cloud and slid down rapidly using the iron cloud track that had fallen from the sky, with three figures following behind him.

"Ah! Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, this is our new ship!" Nami stood on the ship's railing and greeted the four figures descending from the sky with joy.

"Wow! Wow! This is so cool! That lion's head is my throne!" Looking at the brand-new, huge ship in front of him, Luffy's eyes immediately flashed with golden light. He stretched out his arms, grabbed the railing, and jumped up to check out the new facilities inside.

"It's three times bigger than the Merry in length, width, and height! What a delightful ship! We can use a giant gym now." Zoro laughed, gazing at the massive ship before him and looking towards the lookout tower at the very top.

"I finally have my giant oven!" Sanji exclaimed with satisfaction, having already boarded the ship's cabin.

"Sanji! I want to eat meat!"

"no problem!"

"I said, have you guys forgotten someone?!" Nami said helplessly, covering her forehead with one hand as she looked at the three running around.

"Ah! Franky! I forgot about him!" Luffy, snapping out of his daze, immediately turned around and looked down at the wrecked ship island, searching for him.

"Hey! Franky! Thank you for the ship! We're very satisfied! We'll definitely cherish it!"

"Oh! Well then, I wish you a pleasant journey! And hurry up and give me back my underwear!" Without its master to maintain it, the Iron Cloud Whip and the Golden Chain were shattered by Franky's powerful strength. He then took off his glasses, looked at the figure on the railing, and laughed.

"That won't do! You have to be our partner!" Luffy waved the pair of pants in his hand and refused.

"Stop talking nonsense! Don't think you can threaten me into letting you board the ship just because you have it!" Franky said fiercely, seeing that the Straw Hat Pirates had no intention of agreeing. He then leaned forward, his thick arms clasped together, and roared at the Straw Hat crew stuck on the ship! At the same time, huge waves crashed against the shore with a thunderous roar! Countless sprays of water splashed up, creating a flamboyant scene in the background!

"A true man should be strong! Fearless, standing at the forefront of the tide, a lion dominating all beasts!"
