Iron Fist Herbodi has a frivolous and decadent face, his eyes are erratic, and he looks frail and weak, but he is very neatly dressed in a suit and tie, with a navy cap on his pink hair.

"Is this Uta, the most famous singer in the East China Sea? Beautiful lady, with me, Iron Fist Hebodi, here, I will never let those damned bounty criminals offend you!"

Hebodi made a boxing motion. He had iron objects similar to brass knuckles on his hands. Although he had a certain degree of martial arts skills, the girls looked at his appearance and felt that he was just a private.

"Is this how you get promoted based on military merit?" Nami pulled Luffy's clothes and whispered in his ear.

"Be careful, he's a captain. No one is higher than him in military rank!" Tashigi poked Nami's waist.

Because the girls were not wearing navy uniforms, Herbert didn't know that they were all navy, and there were no navy signs on the ship.

Hebodi glanced at the girls around Uta and felt that they were of high quality, but too young.

What he actually likes is the kind of high-end mature women who are pretentious, the kind of upper-class socialites.

Although women like Uta are good-looking, they don’t match the system.

"Wait...Master Luffy?" He suddenly ran into a familiar face.

The grandson of a naval hero, he is now a second lieutenant and is quite famous in the navy system. Although he stays in a place like the East China Sea, he also pays attention to official affairs and recognized Luffy at once.

"Hey." Luffy greeted politely.

"Why is it here in the East China Sea?!" He was a little surprised.

"I came back for vacation and will go to the channel again next year." Luffy said.

"Oh, so that's how it is. Are these people your friends?" Hebodi immediately behaved himself.

"Well, it's my crew."

"Oh, I see. I didn't expect Miss Uta to be from our navy. This is great. When I patrol later, I will definitely catch all the wanted criminals on the island!"

The soldiers under his command also saluted. The news that Uta was a navy officer shocked them and their morale continued to grow.

Uta's bunny hair stood sideways, but she couldn't refute it. Only after Hebodi left did she mutter quietly, "No~"

The dancing competition was held four days later. Led by their guide Uta, the girls toured the island and held the dancing competition in the evening.

A huge mirror ball hangs in the center of the island, flickering.

This island can also be called Mirror Ball Island. The biggest landmark building is the thing that looks like a nightclub mirror ball. At night, it flashes colorful lights and shines on the city.

Uta was holding a microphone, wearing a black short dress with a corset similar to the one worn in Wano Country around her waist, and cyan gradient ice silk sleeves on her hands. There was a light pink heart mark on the back of her hands, and her whole body was filled with girlish charm.

The music of HI!HO!READY GO was amplified by microphones and Den Den Mushi, and it echoed throughout the island.

It ignited the whole place very smoothly.

"This is the music of the big star. It is so wonderful that I will feel happy just by listening to it!" Hebodi was moved as he listened to the song echoing in the city.

In the blink of an eye, his expression changed to a ferocious one again.

He kicked open the pub hidden in the alley.

The adults who were drinking caught a glimpse of the navy uniforms from the corner of their eyes and lowered their heads.

"Hey, hey, hey, bounty criminals, please stand up honestly and don't waste my time."

His arrogant words came out.

Luffy and his friends watched Uta singing in a small area reserved by the organizers. They could see people in various clothes dancing to the music in the square below, and the girls couldn't help but twist their bodies to the song and the enthusiastic crowd below.

This dance competition is more like square dancing. Men, women, old and young can all participate and dance. It is a square dance for the whole nation and is only held once a year.

After Uta finished the warm-up, he ran over to find Luffy and the others, and then saw Luffy, Tashigi, and Kuina sitting aside watching, with only Nami and the others dancing.

"Luffy, come dance too!"

The girls pulled them towards Nami unscrupulously, and Nami made way for a small space.

“I can’t?!”

“It’s very simple~”

……

"The dance competition was a complete success. Thank you very much for your help, Ms. Uta. These are your rewards. I hope we can continue to cooperate in the future."

The organizer handed Uta a suitcase, which included not only the invitation fee but also the cost of buying the song. From now on, the song READY will be the theme song of their dance competition.

"Fifty million Baileys, just for one song and one night? That's amazing!" Nami couldn't help but exclaimed.

"This is the income of a big star, and this is just the East China Sea!" Dashiqi couldn't help but be amazed.

Luffy had no feelings for money. He thought about what Uta had said before about a beauty pageant, so he quietly approached the organizer.

The girls were so stunned by Uta's money-making ability that no one noticed him.

But the princess of Alabasta is an exception. She has hundreds of millions of Baileys in her own pocket and is also not a person who cares about money.

She quietly leaned over to listen.

"Beauty pageant, beauty pageant~" Luffy ran towards the beauty pageant area with brisk steps.

Thinking about what I have seen on TV, those ladies walking on the runway in brightly colored dresses with numbers on their waists, I feel a little excited.

If it is a European or American style, it would be even more amazing, even Lu· is very likely.

He couldn't help but want to experience it once.

After the dance competition and touring the island, the girls prepared to head to Rogue Town.

"Where's Luffy?" Nami was a little confused when she found that the only boy on the ship was missing.

"As for Luffy Nissan, I just heard that he went to a beauty pageant." Vivi said casually.

Uta's rabbit hair stood on end, and Nami's eyes widened, thinking about how Luffy would secretly read adult magazines in Alabasta.

"That guy!!" The two girls gritted their teeth and chose to get off the boat.

"Oh, it seems that Nami really can't satisfy Luffy." Nojigo also looked at them with interest.

"Wow, this is indeed the world of pirates. The beauty pageant ladies are amazing too!"

Luffy used his status as a second lieutenant to get a privileged seat. He stared at the dazzling costumes, and the soothing music also made him excited.

Luffy widened his eyes and criticized carefully.

It was not until late at night that Luffy came out, still feeling unsatisfied.

Then a cool breeze blew, and he froze in place. The two girls crossed their arms and waited angrily for a long time.

"Have you finished reading it? Is it good?"

Nami smiled kindly.

Uta looked at him angrily.

"The organizer asked me to come and ensure safety..." Luffy said calmly.

"Then why did Weiwei say that you were the one who asked?" Uta asked angrily.

Weiwei!!!

I gave you a red panda!

I will remember this grudge!

……

Nami didn't let him touch her anymore, not even her legs. Uta was also very angry and would snort and walk away every time he saw Luffy.

"Weiwei, this is all your fault!"

Luffy found some fishing gear and sat on the bow of the boat to cast his rod.

"It's obviously Luffy's problem, right?" Vivi said with a snort as she sat next to him.

"No, as long as you keep quiet, nothing like this will happen! Hurry up and give me back my panda doll!"

Weiwei's eyes widened, "You've already given it to me, and you still want it back? Shame on you! I won't give it back!"

"Besides, if Luffy didn't do it, these things wouldn't happen, right?"

"Wrong, these things wouldn't happen if no one found out!"

Luffy corrected.

"Why do you say such unreasonable things?"

"This is a fact!"

"Luffy, can you really fish like this? There must be a ferocious monster under the boat, right?" Kuina asked curiously.

"I couldn't catch any fish, so I just threw it for fun." Luffy said.

"Then why don't you exercise?" asked Kuina.

After she got on the ship, she started to follow Luffy's movements, thinking about surpassing him.

It was discovered that Luffy had very little time for exercise, and his time using Uta was not as much as when he was a child.

It was discovered that Luffy had very little time for exercise, and his time using Uta was not as much as when he was a child.

Luffy spends most of his time reading books, practicing music and painting, or lying down without moving. Although he exercises every day, the time is too little compared to doing other things. It seems that he is not as hardworking as her and Zoro. Luffy is too lazy.

"As for me, I feel that active training is too tiring. Why can't we be like those beasts and gain powerful strength simply by growing?" Luffy said with a sigh.

"I want to create a happy path where I can become stronger without training!"

258. Chapter 257 Hai Navel's Request for Help

258.

2023-11-13

Facing Luffy's statement, Kuina was very confused, "How can you become stronger without training?"

"And Luffy is so lazy. He doesn't even need to train on his own when he has Uta's help."

"I think it's possible. Look, don't people who eat devil fruits gain incredible powers all of a sudden through the changes in their bodies?"

"Exercise is also a very mechanical and linear process, right? If I get the training structure of my future body in advance, then will I gain the power from the future?" Luffy said to Kuina.

"Also...Uta won't let me in. It's all Vivi's fault!"

Luffy once again directed his attack at this stinky sister.

"You'd better reflect on yourself!" Weiwei rolled her eyes.

"It's obviously Luffy's problem. Luffy is too lustful." Kuina also spoke up for Vivi.

Luffy's eyes widened and he pointed at himself with his thumb.

"For a boy of my age, what else can I do but be lustful? I am not interested in wealth, and increasing strength doesn't happen overnight. I just want to be close to cute girls!"

As he said that, he went to grab Weiwei, "Weiwei, compensate me!" The girl giggled and hid behind Guina.

Kuina rubbed her head and slapped Luffy's hand away.

Just at this moment, because of the angle, Weiwei looked up and saw many small white parachutes floating in the sky. There was a green wine bottle tied under the parachute, and there seemed to be a white toilet paper stuffed inside the bottle.

They are like dandelions, blowing into the sky with the gentle breeze.

"What is that?" Weiwei asked, pointing to the sky.

"A wishing bottle?"

Luffy and Kuina looked up and said, "Let's kill one and see!"

Luffy bent his fingers, aimed in the direction, and shot a finger gun hundreds of meters away, piercing the parachute. The wine bottle fell down, but because of the angle, it did not fall onto the boat.

He tried several more times before a bottle fell accurately.

Kuina reached out to catch the object thrown from high in the sky, then turned it over, trying to pour out the note.

But the bottle was stuck in the narrow mouth, so she used her knife to cut the bottle and cut it open directly.

"It's a letter asking for help." She opened it and took a look and said.

"In a place called the Navel of the Sea."

"I seem to have heard of this place. It's a huge whirlpool in the sea, a big hole that can never be filled." Luffy touched his chin.
