Comparing the two Luffies, this Luffy is so cool!

[“Ship Spirit??”]

[The companions all looked at Franky in bewilderment.]

Franky immediately tells everyone about the ship spirit.

Everyone finally understood how outrageous this petite, light yellow figure before them truly was...

"You know, ship spirits only exist in legends!! There's no recorded instance of a ship having a ship spirit. Our Merry is the only one!" Franky said in shock, his heart beating wildly.

"But...why can only Luffy hug her and we can't?" Sanji asked frustratedly.

Zoro curled his lips and said, "Could it be that because you're such a lecherous cook, the ship spirits are afraid of you?"

Sanji immediately gets furious: "Bullshit! Then you can't touch her either?"

Zoro shook his head: "Who said that? I haven't touched her yet. How do you know I can't?"

"Then go touch it now!" Sanji pulled Zoro towards Luffy.

"I'm not going!!"

Zoro shrugs off Sanji's hand, saying disdainfully, "...As long as I don't touch her, you can't prove I can't touch her. On this point, I'm currently ahead of you!"

[“Ahh!! You green algae-headed bastard! I’m going to fight you!!” Sanji threw himself at Zoro in a rage~~]

At this point, Franky explains, "The ship spirit can only be seen by those recognized by the ship. As for encountering her, there's no record of that happening... Is it because Luffy is the captain? Or is it because Luffy has the deepest bond with the ship? In any case, it must require a very demanding condition!!"

【boom!!--】

[At this moment, a loud explosion was heard outside! ! ! ]

[Then, a blazing light illuminated the window, making it crystal clear! !]

[“What’s going on?”]

[Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates immediately rushed out~~]

When they arrived on deck, they saw the three cleaners staring at an empty treasure chest in bewilderment...

[“What’s going on?”]

Sanji rushed over and looked around Kalifa nervously, "Is Miss Kalifa injured?"

Seeing Luffy and the others approaching, Lucci spread his hands and said, "We just found a treasure chest floating on the sea. It said something was dedicated to the Sea God, so we salvaged it."

"When I opened it, it turned out to be a signal flare! If I'm not mistaken, someone in this fog might be targeting us~~"

Although he seemed to have gotten into trouble, Lucci still took responsibility and quickly analyzed the possibilities.

Luffy looked at the wooden barrel treasure chest and saw that it was indeed written with the words "Sea God's Treasure". At first glance, he would think that it was a treasure presented to the Sea God.

[Obviously... someone did this on purpose!!]

"Well, your analysis is correct. But if it's just a group of pirates, that's a good idea. There's a naval base in the Sabaody Archipelago, so we can capture them and exchange them for money." Luffy said.

【What??】

[Hearing Luffy say this, the three cleaners were immediately shocked~~]

[“Catch the pirates??”]

[Kaku's eyes widened, and he said in shock.]

Luffy shrugged. "It's just a side hustle. Is it worth making a fuss about it?"

【“…”】

The three cleaners were of low status and didn't dare to say much.

【I just feel speechless~~】

[Pirates capture pirates for bounties?]

⒐⒎⒌⒍⒉⒏]⒏⒋⒈Novel. [This is the first time they have heard of...]

As we go deeper into the Devil's Triangle, the fog on the sea surface becomes thicker and thicker.

[Because visibility is low, Luffy temporarily drives the Merry into the cabin. ]

【On the deck~~】

[Bucky stands holding a piece of wood~~]

[It seems like he didn't do anything~~]

[But if you look closely, this piece of wood is constantly vibrating slightly! ! ]

“Really…, it was almost there, almost there again~~”

[Bucky shook his head in frustration~~]

[Ever since seeing Luffy's Devil Fruit awaken in the small garden, Buggy has had a new goal in developing Devil Fruits!!]

"We all have Parahuman Devil Fruits... Since Luffy's Gum-Gum Fruit can awaken, then why can't Buggy's Split Fruit awaken...? ? 】

After leaving the small garden, Buggy has been practicing active splitting while also trying to practice splitting external objects!!

He experimented with many things and found that inorganic matter responded to his ability to split, but organic matter had almost no response to his ability to split!!

[So Buggy focused on cultivating this splitting ability on inorganic matter! !]

The reason why he uses wood for cultivation isn't because it's special. It's just because Buggy first used this piece of wood for cultivation with inorganic materials, so it just came in handy.

"I've already felt it, but it's always just a little bit short..."

“Damn it! Even if I can’t catch up to Luffy, you can’t let him leave you further behind!!”

【"Come again! I must awaken!!" Soft】

Little Meli: “Wow!! I’ve actually awakened to this level…?”⒐

Little Merry was shocked to see that the Merry on Red Luffy's ship could actually communicate with Luffy! !

Although they couldn't communicate with words yet, and only interacted through emotional fluctuations, this was already a level that even Meli couldn't imagine.

Monkey D. Luffy: "Franky, what's going on with little Merry over there? Is it because of the bond...?"⒍

Franky: "I don't know either! There's no way anyone would know about this situation, but if I had to guess, it's probably because our bond has reached a certain level!!"

Nami: "It's a shame that only Red Luffy can meet him~~~~"⒏

Nico Robin: "Ah hehe~~~ Red Luffy cherishes the Merry so much, so it's understandable that Little Merry would respond to him like this~~"

Gol D. Roger: "Little Buggy is the most shocking one!! If I'm not mistaken, his condition is a sign of awakening!!"

Shanks: "Really? Is Buggy's Devil Fruit over there almost awakening? Is there anyone with a superhuman Devil Fruit ability who can explain if this is the case?!"

Don Quixote Doflamingo: "It should be!! I remember the time before my devil fruit awakened, I always felt that I seemed to be able to transform other substances into lines. It was not until the moment I fully awakened that I was able to truly transform other substances into lines!" ⒈

Buggy: "Nani! So... I'm really going to wake up over there!!"

Edward Newgate: "That's ridiculous! If the Splitting Fruit awakens, wouldn't it be possible to split everything else as well? And Buggy over there has already practiced active splitting to the point where he can split things into the size of sand. So once he awakens successfully, wouldn't he be able to split any inorganic matter into the size of sand?"

Monkey D. Luffy: "Sounds like he's pretty impressive...?"

Marco: "Please remove the word 'as if'!! This guy must be really powerful!! If we met him at sea, the enemy ship would be instantly reduced to pieces like sand, without even being able to surrender!"

hiss......!!

After hearing Marco's explanation, many people who originally didn't understand realized how terrifying the effect of the Split Fruit would be once it awakened! !

Buggy: "Looks like I need to learn my training method over there carefully so I can awaken sooner...!!"

Gol D. Roger: "Wahahaha...!! Great, Buggy-chan, you'll definitely awaken!"

[Bucky practiced for a while and was about to go back to his room to rest for a while, when suddenly...]

【"Um!?"】

[His brow furrowed, and he immediately looked towards Khalifa on the deck... buttocks!!]

[At this moment, Khalifa is bending over to clean the railing, her buttocks sticking out~~]

[Bucky's fingertips suddenly clamped several daggers! !]

【Swish! Swish!】

His two hands instantly separated from his body, carrying six sharp daggers, and shot them fiercely towards Khalifa's buttocks! !

[Puff! ! ——]

Just as the two daggers came within a meter of Khalifa, they immediately stabbed into an invisible object!!

【"ah......!!"】

[Suddenly, a miserable cry filled the air!!]

[Baki controlled his hands, swung the invisible object around, and then nailed it hard to the deck! !]

[This sudden scream startled Kalifa! ]

She was diligently cleaning the railing when she suddenly heard a strange scream from behind her. Isn't that scary?

Lucci and Kaku also looked over immediately: "What's going on?"

[Then, in their shocked gazes, they saw a strange figure appear on the deck~~~]

[Looks like a human, but also like a lion...! ! ]

Kalifa immediately turned her head away and yelled in a sultry tone, "Asshole! His last name is Shaorao!!"

[“What is this?” Lucci frowned.]

Buggy walked up to Absalom, looked down at him, and asked in a cold voice, "Who are you?"

[“Damn it!! This shouldn’t be the case… How did you find me??”]

Absalom was in pain, but his eyes were filled with confusion.

As the user of the Transparent Fruit, he has tasted many women in this sea area and has always been successful! !

[Just now, he saw the signal flare they used as bait being detonated, and he immediately rushed over first~~]

Absalom couldn't help himself when he saw a beautiful woman on the deck...

[Unexpectedly, before I could even succeed, I was pinned to the ground by a dagger~~]

【At this time, Luffy also came. 】

[His observation Haki is the strongest, so when he noticed the movement outside, he came out immediately.]

【"What's going on?" Luffy asked directly. 】

Buggy pointed at Absalom, who was lying on the ground. "I was training when I suddenly noticed an invisible person moving behind Kalifa with my Observation Haki. I pinned him to the ground with my dagger."

[Luffy looked at Absalom and immediately showed an expression of disgust~~~]

[This guy... has even taken off his pants! ]

【Thinking about what Bucky said, he immediately understood!!】

Luffy said disdainfully, "This bastard must be the user of the Transparent Fruit! He actually used his food power to do something so despicable! Buggy, cut him up!"

【"good......!!"】

[Baki was also not polite and directly used the dagger to pick Absalom out of the deck! ]

"Wait a minute!! What are you doing?! Hey, hey, hey! I'm a member of the Shichibukai Moriah's staff!! Do you want to offend Moriah?"

When Absalom heard that he was being treated this way, he screamed in fear!

[Of course, he wasn't particularly scared!]

After all, with the miraculous healer Hogback, no matter where his body was cut, Hogback could reattach it! He could even reattach the remains of other animals...!

[“Moriah??? Hahahaha…!! Is Moriah a mere figure worthy of your harsh words??”]

[Upon hearing this, Buggy burst out laughing~~]

[But I saw Luffy kill Crocodile with one strike! !]
