Comparing the two Luffies, this Luffy is so cool!

Don Quixote Doflamingo grinned, "Fufufufufu!!! This red-framed Straw Hat Boy is so funny!!"

Under the platform behind him, Kuzan scratched his head: "This guy's development of the fruit ability is really whimsical~~~"

Kizaru on the side pouted and said, "Wu~~~, this is really unexpected! If I had eaten this devil fruit, I would never have thought of developing it in this direction~~"

Boa Hancock's fingers gently touched Hongren, and she murmured, "Luffy over there seems to be more adorable~~~"

In the chat room~~~

Usopp: "Oh my god!! This... this... this... isn't this the Gummi-Gum Fruit version of the Wind Cannon?!"

Franky: "This is more practical than the Wind Cannon! The Wind Cannon consumes 10 liters of cola per kilometers! Luffy's sausage thrusters consume no energy at all!!!"

Roronoa Zoro: "No, Luffy's might consume more! It's estimated to consume ten tons of food per hundred kilometers~~"

Vinsmoke Sanji: "Ahahahaha!! If there's no food to replenish my strength in time, I'm afraid I'll have to consume a Luffy every 100 kilometers~~~"

Brook: "But our Luffy has to learn this skill! If we run out of cola fuel, this skill will be a life-saving ability!"

Monkey D. Luffy: "That makes sense. I'll try my best..."

...

Mary Joa~~~

Izambalon V. Nasujuro narrowed his eyes slightly: "The power of that fruit is said to be the most bizarre and ridiculous power in the world..."

Zeigolucia Satan placed his hands on his cane and said in a deep voice, "Yeah... Judging from the situation of Red Luffy over there, his fruit hasn't even awakened yet, but his development has already gone in a ridiculous direction."

After pondering for a moment, he said, "Now I understand why this devil fruit chose him!"

"Obviously, this Monkey D. Luffy is almost certainly the most important light!!"

Markus Maz Saint's face was heavy. He stroked his long beard and said, "Once this viewing system ends, I will immediately notify Agent CP0 and list Monkey D. Luffy as the most wanted criminal!!"

After leaving the storm, Luffy opened an oil-paper package, took out the pickled meat that Dadan had prepared for him, and began to eat it with the flatbread.

[I don't know if it's because the skill he just used was too tiring, but Luffy's appetite has been whetted, and he's eaten everything he brought with him without even noticing.]

"Looks like I didn't bring enough meat. I'm only half full..."

[Luffy touched his stomach and stared at the sea~~~]

[Time flies, two days have passed, Luffy is starving~~~]

【However, he was lucky enough to arrive at an island, Koto Island. 】

Luffy docked the boat at the shore and entered the town. He went straight to the restaurant.

"Boss! Hurry up, serve the meat! I'm starving!"

"I've been hungry for two days straight," Luffy said weakly, slamming his wallet on the table.

[The boss's eyes widened when he saw Luffy's bulging wallet! !]

[Oh my goodness, a wealthy dog owner has arrived! This is...]

"Alright! Hey, we have some top-quality mountain beef. Would you like to try it?"

[Without any hesitation, the boss started selling the most expensive meat~~]

"Okay, as long as I can fill my stomach."

Luffy has barely spent money since he was little. He has no idea what good meat is or isn't. He only knows that he has money and can buy meat. That's all...

Soon, the fragrant secret-method braised mountain beef was delivered to Luffy, and he devoured it with relish!!

[“By the way, Boss, are there any powerful people on this island?”]

Luffy asked, shoveling mountain beef into his mouth.

[He went out to sea for two reasons: first, to see the world, and second, to improve his strength in battle.]

【"Yes, I have!!"】

[It's rare to see such a big dog owner who consumes wild goat beef. Of course the boss buys meat and gives away information~~~]

"If we're talking about a very powerful individual on the nearby islands, it has to be the pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro!"

[“Legend has it that he often wanders the seas like a ghost, specifically targeting powerful pirates and capturing them for bounties.”]

[“His strength is definitely this…!!”]

The boss spoke vividly, not forgetting to give a thumbs-up to express his recognition of Zoro's strength!

"Great! Where is he?"

[After taking a bite of meat, Luffy asked with a delighted look on his face.]

"Ah? You're looking for him?"

Upon hearing this, the boss's expression suddenly changed, and he warned in a serious tone, "Young man, I thought you were just asking casually. If you want to find him, I advise you not to do it!"

【"Why?"】

A trace of panic crossed the boss's face. He subconsciously glanced outside the door before whispering in Luffy's ear, "Because they say that guy is like a devil, killing people without blinking an eye!"

"So scary..."

【Luffy's expression also turned serious.】

He thought to himself, "When sparring with such a powerful person, I must not be careless!"

[Well, when the time comes, I'll use all my strength. I can't let myself get caught in a trap~~]

-

Chapter 22 Is that... Overlord's Haki?

Nami: "Ahahaha! Red Luffy's look is killing me! He actually believed what the boss said..."

Usopp: "Actually, the shop owner is not wrong. Zoro should be the strongest person on those nearby islands. But compared to Red Luffy, he is far behind."

Vinsmoke Sanji: "That green algae-headed guy over there is probably no match for Red Luffy~~"

Roronoa Zoro: "Didn't you hear his inner thoughts? He was going to use all his strength in one move. I'm really worried about me over there!!! Don't let Luffy over there kill me in one go..."

Kid Eustace: "Hahahaha!!! That's hilarious!"

Capone Becky: "Depending on the situation, this is very likely to happen!"

Tony Tony Chopper: "Zoro over there is so miserable..."

[Luffy is eating like crazy with a sweeping attitude~~~]

[On his desk, things kept changing~~~]

[Burp~~~]

When Luffy finally finished eating, he pushed his wallet forward and said, "Boss, check out!—"

[“Okay! Young man, please wait a moment!”]

[The boss happily took the money bag and went to the bar to settle the bill.]

Luffy was bored and ate the remaining meat from the bones~~

【Suddenly, a shadow covered him from behind.】

Luffy immediately sensed the ill intentions of the person behind him, but he didn't react too much because his Observation Haki had already locked onto the person behind him, and he didn't notice any signs of him making a move.

Luffy turned around and saw a young man with three swords tied around his waist and a green bandana tied around his left shoulder, looking at him sternly!!!

[Because it's backlit, from Luffy's perspective, it's an upward angle~~~]

[It feels like looking into the eyes of a demon from hell...]

"Kid! I heard you were asking about me?"

Zoro stared at Luffy fiercely. He had just passed by outside when a fellow bounty hunter found him and said that someone in the restaurant was asking about him.

[In this sea area, Zoro is a notorious villain! !]

Most people would avoid him, how could they dare to ask about him?

[Anyone who dares to inquire about him is most likely a killer hired by his enemies! !]

[Zoro himself is a ruthless character. When he heard about this, he naturally came to find me.]

Gol D. Roger: "This guy is pretty cool~~~"

Shiqi: "He hasn't realized the seriousness of the situation yet~~Hahahaha!"

Rox D. Gibeck: "They say the most arrogant things and get the most brutal beatings. We've seen this happen so many times!"

Vinsmoke Sanji: "Green algae head, you are going to be in big trouble~~"

Roronoa Zoro: "Stupid curly eyebrow, that's me over there!"

Vinsmoke Sanji: "That's still you!"

Luffy was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening. He asked, "Are you the pirate hunter Roronoa Zoro?"

"It's me! What do you want from me?"

【Zoro's tone was very impolite.】

Luffy also said directly: "I want to fight you!"

【really!!】

Zoro sneered, "It's a battle of life and death, isn't it?"

【Luffy was stunned! 】

[Is this how it has to be when fighting against a strong person...?]

[No wonder Dadan told me that strong people grow up in battle...]

[“Uh, no problem.” Luffy nodded solemnly.]

【Seeing Luffy's response, Zoro glanced at Luffy. 】

【Despite his young age, he is quite courageous! 】

"It's not convenient to fight here," Zoro glanced into the shop, then pointed his right thumb behind him. "Come out and fight!"

"Boss, you settle the bill first. I'll come get the rest later." Luffy said, and followed Zoro out.

The shop owner was busy counting money and didn't notice Zoro's appearance. He continued to happily tap his abacus.

[The two of them came outside~~~]

[Someone on the street quickly recognized Zoro.]

[“Hiss!! That’s…! That’s the pirate hunter with the name of the devil!!]

"Roronoa Zoro! Yes, it's him! How could such a formidable figure like him appear here..."

"No way! They look like they're going to duel?"

"Oh my god! Duel with the pirate hunter Zoro, is that brat looking for death?!"

【...】

[Among the crowd around, some discerning people immediately recognized Sauron! ]

[At the same time, I was also shocked that someone would dare to challenge Zoro~~~]

Borsalino: "Wow, these onlookers...the atmosphere is really well-created!"

Kuzan: "......, that's what I said~~~"

Don Quixote Doflamingo: "This is so funny! I can't wait to see the stunned expressions of the crowd, fufufufufu!!!"

Moonlight Moriah: "Hehehehe!! I'm already rubbing my hands in anticipation~"

Roronoa Zoro: "......"

Amid the onlookers' exclamations, Zoro quickly pulled out the Wado Ichimonji and bit it!

Then, with two quick clangs, he instantly pulled out two more knives, one in my left hand and one in my right!

[The moment he grasped all three swords, Zoro moved! ! ]
