Comparing the two Luffies, this Luffy is so cool!

He gazed into the distance and said with some curiosity, "This island seems different from the ones we've seen before~~"

"Huh? Look at that dog, it's so long..."

[Usopp points at a dog foraging in the distance and shouts.]

[“Wow!! Haha!” Chopper laughed heartily~~]

Robin put his hand over his forehead, looked around, and said in confusion, "There seems to be no one here~~"

"No! There is someone! But there is only one!"

[Luffy's observation Haki has already covered the entire island, which isn't particularly large~~]

"There's only one person on the island?" Nami blinked curiously.

"But it seems this person is very strange! Let's go ask him!"

[Luffy thought about it and walked away~~]

Soon, everyone found the old man from Donggit standing on a bamboo pole.

【After some questioning, everyone rescued him. 】

Sanji exclaimed in shock: "What?! You've been walking on stilts for almost 10 years?"

"Yes! My tribe must have thought I was dead. We migrate every three years, and we should have reached the fourth island from this one by now! But it doesn't matter. My horse is here. As long as I head to the next island every year at low tide, I'll be able to reunite with my tribe in just four years!"

Dongjit said happily.

【At this moment, Buggy's head flew down from the sky.】

"I just saw it from the air. The terrain here is roughly a ring, a ring-shaped chain of 10 small islands." Buggy said.

Luffy looked at Toget and said, "Let's make a deal! You treat us to the island's specialties for three days. After three days, we'll send you and your horse over by boat to reunite with your people. What do you say?"

【"Really!!"】

[Hearing this, Dongjit's eyes became red with excitement~~~]

"Of course! These four islands have low tides for a few hours each year, so you can only visit one island a year. That would take too long! But if you take a boat, it would only take a day or two at most! For us, it's a piece of cake!"

Luffy doesn't need to rush, and although it will take a day or two to send Donggit there, a large part of the journey is convenient.

[In general....., this is just something I did along the way, but it can help a lonely old man reunite with his family four years early, so why not do it? ?]

Dongjit happily collected the island's specialties and entertained the Straw Hat Pirates for three days!

[Three days later, Luffy sent Dongjit to the island where his people were as promised~~]

[After that..., the Merry sailed on the sea for several days and arrived at the Seven Water City! ]

"Wow! Is this the Seven Waters City? So cool..." I exclaimed in amazement at this island filled with artistic architecture.

Nami was also shocked and said, "It's so beautiful! The person who designed this city is amazing!!"

Luffy said: "We have too much money, and there are still many shellfish on board. We need to leave people to guard the ship."

Knowing that Luffy values the Merry, Buggy takes the initiative and says, "I'll guard the ship!"

"I'll stay on board too. The new batch of scallops still needs attention, so I'll be more at ease with them." Chopper also expressed his intention to stay.

"Alright! Sanji, you and Zoro go do the shopping. Usopp and I will go to the shipbuilding company to inquire about the situation. Nami and Robin, you can go shopping on your own~~"

【Luffy assigned the personnel~~】

However, Nami pulled Robin over to Luffy and said, "Let's go to the shipyard with you!"

Luffy shrugged: "Aren't you guys going shopping?"

Nami smiled and said, "You can bring some back from shopping! We can also help you with some ideas for new ship designs~~"

"Okay then~~"

【Since Nami insisted on doing so, Luffy did not refuse. 】

Nicole Robin: "I followed them to the shipyard... At this time, the shipyard in Water Seven City should still be undercover with CP9..."

Nami: "Yeah! Sister Robin, if you follow us, you will definitely be recognized by those CP9 people~~"

Usopp: "It's good that you recognized us! Those CP9 bastards made us suffer so much! This time, let's see how Red Luffy crushes them!!"

Tony Tony Chopper: "Yeah! Crush them to death!!"

Vinsmoke Sanji: "Pinch them to death!!"

After getting off the ship, Luffy and his companions began to inquire about the location of the shipyard.

The structure of the Seven Waters City is very unique. Once you enter the city, there are almost no remote areas. It is all bustling downtown!

The four of us walked and ate our way through the area, even taking a ride on the famous local duck boat. Finally, we arrived at the largest shipyard in the area, Shipyard No. 4, which belongs to the Carrera Company...!

[Entering the shipyard, Barry, one of the foremen, approaches~~]

"Are you here to repair the ship or...?"

[Seeing Usopp carrying two large boxes, Barry's eyes lit up and he asked.]

Usopp replied: "We want to buy a big ship, a very, very strong one!"

【"It would be best if you could dive!" Luffy added.】

When we left Drum Island earlier, we encountered Walpo's pirate ship, which had emerged from the sea.

[That was Luffy's first time seeing a submarine... It left a deep impression on him! !]

Now that he needs to buy a second ship, Luffy is naturally thinking about getting a submarine-capable ship...!

[Although I may not dive often, it is better to have this function than not! ! ]

Listening to Luffy's request, Buggy scratched his head: "Um..., you want a submarine...?"

"No, no, no... It's just a boat! But it can transform into a submersible boat..."

Luffy shook his head and gestured with his hands, "That's it. Wrap it like this, and it can dive underwater! Once it comes up, unfold it and it'll be a normal boat! Do you understand?"

[“…” Barry looked confused~~]

"Let me tell you!"

Usopp realized that Luffy was referring to a ship like the one used by the Tetsuto Pirates, so he asked for a piece of paper and quickly drew the Shiratsu Pirates' ship.

Luffy was overjoyed when he saw Usopp's drawing: "Yeah, yeah, yeah! It's like this, but it shouldn't be so ugly! And it should be strong and durable!!"

[“This kind??”]

Looking at the picture, Barry shook his head. "This thing can be built, but it's not practical...!! With so many transformations, its sturdiness will be affected. Are you sure you want to do this?"

"What's going on? Barry!"

[At this moment, another foreman, Lu Qi, came over~~]

Barry turns to Lucci and says, "Oh, these guys want to buy a boat, but their proposal is ridiculous. I'm trying to give them some advice."

【Um! ? 】

[The moment Lucci's eyes caught Robin's, his brows furrowed! !]

[Then he looked at Luffy and the others calmly~~]

[However..., his subtle changes in expression naturally couldn't escape Luffy's perception~~]

[Of course... Luffy wouldn't beat anyone up just because of this!!]

[He just paid attention to this Lucci~~]

[A man who looks very manly, with a pigeon on his shoulder, a bit weird~~]

"How about this! If you're not in a hurry, I'll have a meeting with the other foremen after get off work to discuss your proposed shipbuilding plan. Come back tomorrow, and we'll produce the blueprints for you to review!"

【Lucci gives advice~~】

Without Luffy's intervention, Nami agreed: "Hmm..., that's fine! Let's go shopping first!"

[As he said that, he pulled Luffy away~~]

After the four of them left the shipyard, they could only go shopping...

We found a restaurant and tried the famous local delicacy, Shui Shui meat!

【Um? 】

【Luffy frowns slightly!!】

His observation Haki immediately sensed that the foreman named Lucci was watching from the restaurant across the street.

[Next to him, there is another long nose...]

[It's obvious... these two people know Robin! ! ]

Luffy then frowned and looked at Robin: "Robin, do you know that foreman Lucci from the shipyard?"

【"foreman?"】

Robin thought about it, and the image of the guy with the pigeon on his shoulder came to mind. He immediately shook his head: "I don't know..."

"That's strange! He obviously knows you from 877! And... he's still following us~~" Luffy said in confusion.

【"puff......"】

At this moment, Nami covered her mouth and laughed, "Come on, Luffy, we both have bounties on our heads! Isn't it normal for someone to recognize Robin?"

He didn't say anything, but Luffy suddenly realized something: "Yeah..., I guess they might be targeting Robin's bounty~~~"

[After figuring it out, Luffy no longer cares~~]

After leaving the restaurant, the four of them turned a few streets and arrived at a small alley. They then posed and looked towards the alley entrance...

[Not long after, Lucci and Kaku appeared! ]

[When he saw Luffy and the other three were already waiting for them, Lucci frowned~]

He originally planned to wait for Robin to be alone and then capture him, but now it seems that the other party is not a weakling...

[Of course... In Lucci's eyes, no matter how strong the opponent is, they are definitely not as good as him! !]

[“Are you targeting our bounty?”]

【Luffy leaned against the wall and looked sideways at Lucci and Kaku. 】

"So you're just ignorant pirates! No wonder you're waiting for us so arrogantly!"

Lucci smiled faintly, then looked at Robin, "We are CP9!"

【"What!!"】

[When she heard the other party's identity, Robin's delicate body couldn't help but tremble! ]

Then, she laughed self-deprecatingly: "Alright, I'll go with you! But don't make things difficult for them. They're just a few kids I tricked~~"

Although Robin knows that Luffy is very powerful, she knows that CP9 represents the World Government!

[No matter how strong one is, can one compete with the world government? ]

[Obviously... No! !]

【"Can."】

Lucci stared straight at Robin, not taking Luffy and the other two seriously at all.

"Hey! Wait! Robin, you can't leave!"

【Luffy suddenly reached out and stopped Robin.】

He could easily sense that Robin was terrified, but he was still pretending to be calm!

"Alright! No need to act like you know me so well!! We're not partners. I'm just on your ship because of a small agreement!"

Robin deliberately looked at Luffy with a disgusted expression~~

Luffy didn't let go, but continued, using Robin's words, "Since you said you made a promise, you haven't fully learned the archaeological translation knowledge yet... Hmm~~"

[Hearing Luffy actually say this, Robin quickly covered Luffy's mouth! !]

She flew into a rage: "Stop talking nonsense! Don't get involved in my business! Our relationship ends here!"

[Although she tried her best to hide it, Lucci was no fool~~]

"No need to act! Today, none of the three of them can leave!"
