But some time ago, something happened in the East China Sea.

......

In the East China Sea, Windmill Village, on an ordinary boat, Luffy and his Hercules are ready to set sail, and his adventure has officially begun at this moment.

After bidding farewell to Dadan, Luffy, like Ace did three years ago, came to the port and boarded the small boat he had prepared.

"Be careful, if the boat sinks you must protect him."

"Yeah, it looks like this boat won't last long, and he doesn't want to use my old fishing boat, so it's all up to you then."

Before leaving, the residents of Windmill Village were seeing Luffy off and giving him some instructions, but they sounded a little unlucky.

"Got it, got it, I'll take good care of it."

"Don't be so self-righteous, Luffy. We are not talking to you, we are talking to Heluo. Heluo, it's not easy to go out, so I'll leave this guy to you."

Chapter 877 Without this insect, you would have died long ago

Luffy's voyage was not difficult, and there were even some things missing, such as the absence of the King of the Sea.

As a small sea king, it avoided Garp's plowing operation in the East China Sea, but encountered Gyarados living in the East China Sea. Large sea kings usually cannot gain an advantage against Gyarados, let alone this small one.

But their voyage was not smooth. In terms of size, Luffy's ship at this time was about the same size as Hawkeye's coffin lid, but Hawkeye's ship at least had a sail. With his own boat-handling skills, it was not difficult for him to sail in windy conditions.

But Luffy's ship is different. It doesn't even have sails, only oars, which can be said to be 100% hand-powered.

"Hey, you can stroke a few strokes for me too."

"Hehehe."

Heracross sat on the barrel at the bow like a master, paying no attention to Luffy's request.

"What? Why do you want to conserve your energy?"

After spending a long time together, Luffy could understand what Heracross's calls meant, but the other people in Windmill Village still couldn't understand. Only Luffy could understand Heracross's words in detail.

Heracross didn't say anything, but took out a slightly yellowed newspaper from underneath him, pointed at the picture on the newspaper, and looked at Luffy with a look that contained a hint of disappointment.

"Ah, isn't this Uta? You still have this. Come to think of it, she seems to have become a very powerful character."

“Hurrah!”

Heracross raised a finger and pointed at the other Heracross on the newspaper.

Back then, they were just ordinary rhinoceros beetles in Wano Country. Later, they were randomly assigned to various sea areas to search for possible things.

It was clearly on the same starting line as Uta's Ah Xian, but it was obvious that Ah Xian in the newspaper was living a very comfortable life, and even caused a Heracross fever. As a result, he stayed in the small village and slacked off with this silly boy every day.

It would be fine if he was just slacking off, but this silly boy has an even more unreliable grandfather. If it weren't for him, he thinks Luffy would have drowned in the lake years ago.

In order to prevent him from accidentally drowning in a shipwreck, it has to maintain its physical strength. This ship does not look very reliable.

Heracross can fly, but he is not particularly good at it. It takes a lot of physical strength to fly people in the dangerous sea environment, so he refused to help.

As it turned out, its prediction was meaningful. Luffy's ship did not last long in the four seas before it encountered a terrifying whirlpool.

Even among the great pirates of the New World, there are only a handful who can use humans to fight against the mighty forces of nature, and Luffy's ship was unsurprisingly swept in.

Looking at the sinking ship, Heracross moved his body and planned to fly away with Luffy. At this time, he felt that he was very smart, but Luffy's cleverness suddenly took effect.

"I have an idea!"

"Hello?"

Without giving Heracross a chance to react, Luffy grabbed it and hid in a wooden barrel on the ship, then began to truly go with the flow.

......

"Wow, Heke, let go, why did you bite me? I was the one who saved you!"

"!"

At this time, on an ordinary passenger ship, Hercule was hugging Luffy, biting his face hard, and hitting his head continuously. However, due to the ability of the fruit, his punches had no effect.

"Huck! Huck!"

The language content is too much. After omitting most of the harmonious words, it can be summarized as follows:

[I can fly! Do you know I can fly? Why don’t I just fly away? Do you want me to be buried with you? Do you call this saving people? Is your mind empty?]

If you take a step back, the sky will be broader. If you endure for a while, the more you think about it, the angrier you will be. Now that you think about it, you shouldn't have been greedy for that bite of food and then had anything to do with this guy. Think about the fellow of its own species next to Uta, the gap is getting bigger and bigger.

Luffy is not afraid of blunt force blows due to the power of the fruit, so Heracross had to bite him. The man and the rhinoceros beetle were running around on the deck, and they stunned the pirates who were robbing the ship.

"What are you two bastards doing!?"

Luffy and Heracross's nonchalant behavior aroused the anger of the pirate next to them, Alrita, a pirate from the East China Sea, with a bounty of 5 million berries.

Any pirate or samurai from Wano Country can basically deal with her, but in the East China Sea, she can still act arrogantly.

Her daily hobby is to threaten others to admit her beauty and to confuse their cognition with lies.

"Wait, Sister Alrita, that large rhinoceros beetle... seems to be quite valuable."

"What did you say?"

"I seem to have heard before that this thing is worth two million Baileys in the pet market."

Rhinoceros beetles already have a place in the pet market. Uta initially sparked a craze for Hercules, making Hercules the rarest species among Rhinoceros beetles, and there are people who want to purchase them.

Two million Baileys is not a small amount. When she heard that a rhinoceros beetle could be sold for two million Baileys, a greedy look appeared in Alrita's eyes.

"Hey, you little brat! Leave your pet rhinoceros beetle with you, so we can consider letting you go."

"What did you say?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy suddenly stopped and his expression became serious.

"Don't you understand? Lady Alrita told you to hand over your rhinoceros beetle!"

Seeing that Luffy didn't react, several pirates wanted to take Heracross away by force and surrounded him directly, but all they saw was Luffy's outstretched thighs.

"Rubber whip!"

He kicked out with his right leg, and all the pirates nearby were kicked aside.

"It's not a pet, it's my partner! Since you want to take my partner away, you are my enemy! You should be prepared for this."

"What nonsense are you talking about, little brat? Who would really consider a rhinoceros beetle as a friend?"

The mace hit Luffy's head. It was the same mace, but the result was completely different. Due to the rebound of the rubber, Luffy was not affected at all.

"Rubber pistol!"

The extended arm bounced back and punched Alrita in front of him, sending her flying.

Looking at Luffy's reaction, Heracross nodded and showed an expression that showed that the child was teachable.

It is for this reason that it has stayed with Luffy, otherwise it would have stayed away from this idiot long ago. Food alone cannot restrain it.

Luffy, Heracross and Coby then left on the lifeboat, but Nami did not appear on Alrita's ship to steal the treasure. At this time, she was busy with other things in Cocoa Village with the villagers.

Chapter 878: Human-insect combination skills, the true overlord of the East China Sea

"The East China Sea is really the weakest sea area. The pirates here are too weak to fight."

Yamato was sitting on a few boxes out of boredom. After arriving in the East China Sea, they had a small conflict with some local pirates, but the battle situation was difficult to describe. In short, Yamato stood there and did nothing, and these pirates were unable to break through the defense.

"Not only that, if I had known I would not have used those things, I would have lost a lot..."

Page One, who was counting the spoils, also expressed his opinion. These pirates were undoubtedly a group of poor guys who didn't have much money on them. They were so weak that Page One was too lazy to take action and simply used some explosive weapons.

But war supplies are expensive things. If you count the spoils, they can't even make up for the losses in his equipment.

As for the weapons used by those pirates...

Old-style muzzle-loading artillery, single-shot pistols, crude black powder, and the gunpowder they used in their mines was of higher quality than this.

"But this is good too. This way we don't have to worry about any accidents. Ferran, we'll be there soon."

"It's almost there. It's really almost there this time."

......

On the other side, the number of members on Luffy's ship began to increase, and Zoro and Usopp appeared on his ship, but the Merry also experienced a lot of hardships due to the lack of a navigator.

At this time, the three people on the boat were deprived of the right to sail, and it was up to Heluo to decide where to go.

The way it decided the direction to go was also very special. Hero used Sauron to show the way, but no matter how he pointed, it ended up going the opposite way and ended up near the Barati restaurant on the sea by accident.

Under Zhepu's management over the years, Barati has become a well-known restaurant in the East China Sea. But today, quite a few people gathered here. Click, who fled from the Grand Line in a hurry, also arrived here and set his eyes on Zhepu's logbook and Barati's ship.

He was too arrogant and didn't learn his lesson. He planned to regroup and return to the Grand Line.

If the pirates of the Grand Line met him, they would definitely admire his courage because he had the courage to stop Hawkeye.

"Stop! Do you want to leave like this? Aren't you here to take my head? To take the head of me, the overlord of the East China Sea, Chief Click?"

"Yes, I was bored after all, but I met more interesting people along the way. I've had enough fun and it's time to go back to bed. By the way, your jokes are great, but you probably won't have the chance to tell them again."

Hawkeye turned a deaf ear to Click's provocation. He was known as the world's greatest swordsman, and just because of this title, countless clowns came to challenge him.

The weakness of these people made him completely lose interest, and he was even too lazy to remember their names. He didn't mind fighting, but at least he had to have some strength. Even if he didn't have the strength, as long as it allowed him to see the future, it would be fine.

Click?

After losing interest in playing around, Click wasn't even qualified to let Hawkeye swing his sword.

Hawkeye left in his own boat, but his actions only further emboldened Click's arrogance.

But as he laughed wildly, his cadres were knocked down.

......

"Hehe, get ready, use that to knock that guy down. Curly Eyebrows, move aside, give me the spot at the door!"

Pushing away Sanji who was about to fight with Bara, Luffy came to the door of the restaurant. He found a fixed position for his hands and feet, and leaned his body back slightly. Heracross stood directly on his stomach, using Luffy as a human launcher.

With the cooperation of one man and one rhinoceros beetle, Luffy's body was gradually stretched, and a white light appeared on Heracross's horn. The million-ton horn attack was ready.

"Rubber siege crossbow!"

After years of companionship, Heracross and Luffy have developed their own cooperation. Using Luffy's body as a bowstring to launch Heracross is a combination skill.

This can greatly increase the power of Heracross's attacks, and the seemingly funny preparatory action can also make the enemy relax their vigilance.

At least Bala, who was wrapped in shields in front of them, did not pay enough attention to this attack. In his opinion, it was impossible for a mere rhinoceros beetle to break through his iron wall defense.

Ideals are beautiful, but reality is cruel. Under the impact provided by Luffy, Heracross broke the large shield on Bara's chest with just one blow, and knocked the unconscious him directly into the sea.

Luffy then fought with Click again, and Barati's chef also engaged in a melee with other pirates. Even though Zeff had lost a leg and was old, it was still easy for him to deal with these ordinary pirates.

With Bara being knocked headfirst into the sea by Heracross, only Akin can be considered difficult to deal with here.

Due to Click's orders, he still fought with Sanji, but for some reason, he never saw any tension on the faces of these chefs.

......

Sanji did not fight with Bara, so his physical strength was not affected much. He fought back and forth with Kin, and Kin was a little hesitant about killing him. Although he temporarily suppressed Sanji, he did not gain a greater advantage.

"Leave this ship, you can still get a new one. Chief Crick has set his sights on this place, and you are no match for him. If you continue like this, you will all die!"

"You are quite strong, but unfortunately, it's time for the little guy to come back."

Sanji took out a lighter and lit a cigarette, his tone full of confidence.

"What did you say?"

Winter~Winter~Winter~

Inside the Bharati restaurant, as the hour hand ticked, the alarm clock rang one after another, and a look of joy appeared on the faces of Bharati's chefs.

Soon after the bell rang, several shadows appeared under the sea. A whirlpool appeared on the sea, sucking the pirate who fell into the water into it. With a roar, a blue Gyarados emerged from the water.

"Roar!"

The Magikarp that was originally judged by Nereus to be unsuitable for entering the Grand Line has also grown up. It has transformed from a weak Magikarp into a powerful Gyarados. It has been living nearby and has become the guardian of Barati.

Now it is no longer the weak Magikarp washed ashore by the waves, but the leader of the nearby Magikarp.

Because of this Gyarados and Zeff's knowledge, Barati established a Magikarp protection organization. Many Magikarp live nearby. This Gyarados will go out to patrol the territory during the day, but will return to Barati on time for mealtime.

That is why the chefs at Bharati are not afraid at all.
