Comparing the two Luffies, this Luffy is so cool!

Page 106

[The group of people were already shaking with excitement before they even got off the boat~~~]

Afterwards, Luffy, Zoro, Buggy, and Nami disembarked to check out the area and do some shopping while the others stayed on board.

[The four of them entered the town, and everywhere they looked, they saw pirates coming in and out of shops! ! ! ]

Nami held a thick stack of bounty booklets she had bound herself, flipping through them as she walked.

"Hey! Look at that! Rainy Night Butcher Samchi has a 2700 berry bounty!"

[“Good! This is good!!”]

"Those two Powell brothers, the two of them together only have 2100 Baileys. Tsk!"

"This one's not bad either!!! 3000 million Baileys!!"

"Get rich! I'm really going to get rich this time!"

The four of them, in a good mood, came to a store that specialized in selling record pointers.

"Boss, give me 10 permanent record pointers for Gaya Island!"

[With a solid family background, Luffy naturally wouldn't be stingy when it comes to spending money~~~]

"Alright! Sir! I'll get these for you!"

[When the shop owner heard that he was a dog owner, his eyes narrowed with smiles~]

Luffy stopped him and asked, "No rush!! Do you have a permanent record pointer to the next island??"

[After all, if landing on Sky Island fails, it's not certain that we'll land near Gaya Island. So if there's a permanent record pointer to the next island, then we'll prepare it as well! ! ! It's better to be prepared! ! !]

"Yes! The next island is Lilith Island! How many do you want?"

"Ten more!" Luffy said cheerfully.

“Alright!!”

The boss was so excited that he immediately brought over 20 permanent record pointers.

After collecting the money, the shop owner suddenly added, "By the way! Gentlemen, there's a large naval base on Lilith Island, the Seventh Naval Branch! If you go there, be careful!!!"

[The Seventh Navy Branch?]

【Still Big 144

) type!!!! 】

[Luffy and the other three exchanged glances...]

【Isn’t this perfect???】

After leaving the store, Shi Ren bought some necessities and then returned to the Merry.

[I calculated the time required to travel from Gaya Island to Lilith Island and back using the permanent record pointer. It will take at least two days!!!]

[But according to Kulikate, a turbulent current will appear tomorrow!!! If we miss it, we'll only be able to determine the approximate time next time. We'll have to confirm the time when the cumulus clouds appear again to estimate the turbulent current's appearance...]

After careful consideration, Luffy decided to go to Sky Island first. It wouldn't be too late to go to Magic Valley Town to "collect the crops" after coming down from Sky Island!

Zhan Guo: "Damn it!! Are these bastards treating the naval base as an ATM?!"

Shiki: "Look at you, you're such a loser! Didn't I exchange them for pirates? I didn't take them for nothing!!!"

Zhan Guo: "But the soldiers at the naval base are going to get beaten for nothing!!!"

Thinking of the five Straw Hat Bandits going to "collect the bounty", Zhan Guo couldn't help but feel sad for the sailors at the naval base over there.

Gol D. Roger: "Haha!!! This is not your own fault. It was you who made their bounty real~~~"

Monkey D. Luffy: "What kind of island is Lilith Island? Why haven't we been there?"

Nami: "According to the nautical chart, the route we took should have taken us from Drum Island to Copperhearth Island, then from Copperhearth Island to Gaya Island, then from Gaya Island to Lilith Island, and then to the Long Ring Islands. However, on our way to Copperhearth Island, the record pointer was taken away by Sky Island. When we came down from the end of the clouds on Sky Island, we arrived directly near the Long Ring Islands..."

Monkey D. Luffy: "So that's how it is..."

[The next day~~~]

【Northeast corner of Gaya Island~】

[Saruyama Allied Forces and the Merry are dispatched together~]

[Based on Kulikate's judgment, the Saruyama coalition forces quickly found the location where the Chongtian Kailiu would appear.]

[Merry arrives at the designated location~~~]

[After waiting for about an hour, a huge whirlpool suddenly appeared on the calm sea surface! ! ! ]

"Excellent!! The Jidi Cloud is heading directly towards the vortex, and with the wind in its favor!!!"

The ape-man observed through the telescope, then shouted to the Merry, "Quick! Now, drive the ship to the center of the whirlpool!"

[On the other side, the gorilla also shouted: "Don't forget to protect your boat. If you don't take any measures, the moment the surging sea tide comes, your boat will be shattered!"]

"Got it!!! Thank you so much!!"

Luffy waved his hand, signaling them to retreat quickly to avoid being affected by the Okuten Kairyu.

"Luffy, we're approaching the center of the vortex, is that okay?"

[Usopp asked nervously, steering the ship.]

"Just drive, I'll take care of the rest!"

Luffy's Observation Haki has already been fully unleashed, keeping an eye on the movements in the sea! ! !

Usopp: "Where are their protective measures? Why haven't we seen them yet...? If we don't act now, it will be too late!!"

Capone Becky: "It's too late to act now~~~"

Qiao Ai Lipoli: "Yes, if you want to reinforce the hull, you should at least do it in advance!!!"

Gol D. Roger: "What on earth is that Straw Hat kid planning to do..."

Marshall D. Teach: "Isn't this a big deal? We're all going to get wiped out by the rushing sea flow! Hahahaha!"

Marco: "Haha..., Teach! Stop being so sarcastic!!"

[Boom!!!]

[Suddenly, a terrifying earthquake sound came from the bottom of the sea! ! ]

[Then, I saw the sea surface suddenly bulge upwards!]

"Luffy, I'm in!!!"

Usopp turned the steering wheel and pushed the Merry directly into the center of the vortex!

【"good!!"】

[Luffy yelled, and suddenly his heartbeat started thumping! ]

[This moment...]

【His appearance has changed a bit!!!】

[Hair turns into a white flame~~~]

[There are streams of white flames between the neck and arms~~~~]

[Mythical Beast Species: Nika Form!!]

[Transformation!!——]

[That is, at the moment he transformed into Nika's form, the Merry under his feet was instantly affected by him~~~]

【The whole body is completely rubberized!!!】

[Not only that, Luffy also carefully turned all his companions into rubber! ! ! ]

[Boom!!!]

[A huge ocean current suddenly shoots out from the bottom of the sea! ]

【Yes......】

[Not gushing out~~]

【Instead, it shot into the sky at an extremely terrifying speed!!!】

[Merry is right in the middle of this surging ocean current~~~]

The bottom of the Merry was suddenly dented by the current, forming a V-shape with an arrow pointing upwards...

Driven by the powerful ocean current, the “V”-shaped arrow instantly left the sea surface and soared into the sky!!!

Borsalino: "Nani??? He actually activated the awakening ability of the fruit!!!"

Kuzan: "Huh...? This method..."

Gol D. Roger: "This is so unexpected!!!"

Don Quixote Doflamingo: "This guy..., he gave the ship the properties of rubber, so that the strong currents can't damage the hull..."

Monkey D. Garp: "Not only that... Look at the hull of the Merry..."

Hearing what Garp said, everyone looked at him intently.

Damn it! ! !

And there is armed color domineering???

Good guy~~~

With the awakened ability of rubberization and high-level Armament Haki, even if the admiral attacks personally, it would be difficult to damage this ship...

Monkey D. Luffy: "He did it... He really kept his promise to the Merry!!!"

Little Merry: "Our Luffy has been working hard too!!"

Nico Robin: "Oh no! Luffy over there forgot something!"

Nami: "What's wrong???"

Nico Robin: "When we entered the White Sea, we passed through it!!! After entering there, Luffy's ability will be ineffective!!"

When everyone heard this, they immediately understood what Robin meant~~~

Once Luffy loses his ability due to the effect of sea water, the Merry will be directly hit by the rushing current and may explode directly in the White Sea!

not good!

Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates became deeply worried!

[The Chongtian Ocean Current surged upwards, quickly approaching the Jidi Cloud! ! ! ]

"Luffy! There seems to be a sea of clouds above?" Nami looked up.

【Um? ? 】

[When Luffy heard the word "sea", his heart suddenly jumped! ]

【I missed this! 】

【but......】

【It doesn't matter!!!】

【I have a partner! 】

Suddenly, Luffy yelled, "Baki, Zoro! Open the sea!!"

[The two looked up and immediately realized the devastating consequences that the sea water could bring! !]
