Chapter 424 west Yan said, "A mad scientist is capable of anything!"
"There's quite a commotion here."
Staring at the ship wreckage falling from the sky in the distance, Brook said, "Did Sanji and the others get into a fight with someone?"
"How is that possible?"
Usopp shook his head and said, "Sanji and the others don't have the ability to throw the ship out."
Kicking someone away and losing a spaceship are two completely different things.
"Not necessarily."
west Yan, who was also staring into the distance, squinted and said, "If Nami develops her abilities well enough, she can also lift the ship."
If enough clouds are used and of good enough quality, the ship can be lifted!
"You said it yourself, it's because it's been developed well enough," Usopp said, "but I don't think Nami can do it right now."
"That must be the enemy."
After he finished speaking, west Yan seemed to have discovered something and was immediately stunned.
That flag is... from the navy?
Upon hearing Xiyan's words, Zoro's expression immediately turned serious.
He can split a ship in two, but he can't lift one.
So... this time the enemy might be a bit tricky.
Thinking of this, Zoro was about to say something, but before he could speak, west Yan said, "Something's not right. Those wreckages in the distance are Navy warships!"
"warship?"
Usopp paused for a moment, then said with a grim expression, "Why are the Marines here?"
Wasn't it said that the guy named Caesar wasn't a member of the World Government? Why is the Navy here?
Did the giraffe-centaur from before lie?
But that doesn't make sense either...
He knew how powerful west Yan's Sharingan was, so what the other party said must be true.
So the question is, what's the situation with these naval forces?
The others shared similar thoughts with Usopp, all wondering why the Marines were there.
"Damn it, why are the Marines here?" the tea-bearded man said with a grim expression. "Could something have happened to Master?"
If those damned marines dare to lay a hand on his master, he'll kill them all!
Nico Robin, observing Teabeard's reaction, remarked, "These Marines are probably not with the people here."
"Why would the Navy...?"
""
"Maybe these marines are here to arrest them, who knows?" Nicole Robin said.
Of course, this is just speculation.
As for whether it is true or not, we'll have to go and see for ourselves.
"It's also possible that these naval personnel made some kind of deal with the people here," west Yan said calmly.
Nicole Robin nodded in agreement, saying that was also a possibility.
Upon hearing this, Tea Mustache immediately retorted, "Impossible! How could Master possibly collude with the Navy?"
The evil navy is the most despicable people!
How could a great master possibly be willing to cooperate with such a person?
Stop joking, okay?!
west Yan merely chuckled and ignored Cha Xuzi.
In the end, this guy is just someone else's subordinate, how could he possibly know Caesar's thoughts?
In his eyes, a mad scientist is capable of anything!
"Never mind, let's go check it out first," Luffy said.
He didn't care about the navy; he only cared about his comrades.
"profound!"
Just then, Luo emerged from behind a distant boulder and walked step by step toward the laboratory behind it.
"?"
"That guy is..."
"
As if recognizing Law, Luffy immediately stood up, waving his arm and shouting, "Hey!"
"It's you!"
"Um?"
Law paused for a moment upon hearing the noise, then turned to look in Luffy's direction.
After seeing what was going on, he frowned.
"This is... Straw Hat Boy?"
Following Blackfoot and the others, it's Straw Hat Luffy himself again.
This is really troublesome...
"If I remember correctly, this guy is the one we met in the Sabaody Archipelago," Zoro said.
This man happened to be present when they killed the Celestial Dragons at Auction House No. 1.
"Yes, that's him," Usopp nodded and said.
He remembered this incident as well.
Trafalgar Law...
west Yan stared at Luo carefully for a moment, then stroked his chin and said, "If that's the case, then the Seven Warlords of the Sea that the lower half of him was talking about is this guy, right?"
As he spoke, west Yan recalled the information he had previously obtained from Sister Xia Qi.
There is indeed such a guy among the new Seven Warlords of the Sea.
"It should be him," Nico Robin nodded.
She had also researched the other party's information and obviously knew that this person was the new Shichibukai.
"I'll go ask him then," Luffy said, jumping off Teabeard. "Let's see if he knows anything."
After saying that, Luffy rushed towards Luo without giving west Yan and the others a chance to speak.
west Yan: ...
Seeing Luffy running towards him without any warning, west Yan's lips twitched as he said, "This Luffy guy probably doesn't think of the other guy as a good friend from the same class, does he...?"
""
The Supernovas of the same generation are not friends, they are rivals on the road to becoming the Pirate King!
"It seems so," Usopp said, a twitch at the corner of his mouth.
Given Luffy's personality, he certainly seems like the kind of person who would do something like that.
"Should we stop it?" Mary asked.
As she spoke, she slowly raised her hand.
As long as her crewmates speak up, she will take action to bring Luffy back.
"There's no need for that," west Yan said calmly. "With Luffy's strength, even if that guy wants to do something, he'll have to think twice."
"So... let him go."
They are now a hundred times stronger than they were two years ago, so there's no need to worry about Luffy's safety.
If that guy named Luo really doesn't know what's good for him, they wouldn't mind taking him down!
"Yes, west Yan is right."
Zoro crossed his arms and calmly looked at Law in the distance, saying, "So let's wait and see. Maybe Luffy can actually find out something."
The others nodded in agreement, which was considered as a form of agreement with Zoro's statement.
Then Usopp said, "By the way... what kind of ability does this guy have?"
"Why would someone cut a person's body like that?"
As he spoke, Usopp glanced at Kin'emon's lower body behind Luffy, his gaze gradually becoming somewhat strange.
What kind of ability did this?
How can someone be hacked to death like this and still not be dead?
That's really terrifying...
"I know."
Nico Robin spoke up: "Trafalgar Law, user of the Op-Op Fruit."
After recalling the newspaper article she had seen earlier, Nicole Robin nodded again, confirming her statement.
"The fruit of surgery?"
Usopp asked疑惑地问道, "What kind of ability is that?"
Skills related to surgery?
Could it be... that this guy is a doctor?
"Then I don't know," Nico Robin shook her head and said, "I only know the name of his Devil Fruit, but I don't know the effects of his power."
"But judging from the current situation... they should have the ability to cut a person in half without killing them."
As she spoke, Nicole Robin pointed in the direction of the warship wreckage, where many missing limbs of the navy were struggling to find their bodies, a truly vivid scene.
Usopp:
"This scene is really weird," Usopp remarked.
A headless body is searching for its head, while the head is cursing its body on the ground.
This feels so weird...
If he hadn't seen this halfling, he probably would have been terrified by these guys.
"Indeed."
The others nodded in agreement; the scene was indeed very strange.
"It's been a long time, Travis," Luffy said with a grin, looking at Law. "What are you doing here?"
Looking at Luffy, who seemed to be making friends with him so easily, Law subconsciously frowned. "Isn't this guy a little too..." "This doesn't seem to concern you, Straw Hat leader."
"Don't be so formal. We did meet in the Sabaody Archipelago, after all."
"It was just a coincidence," Law said calmly. "Don't forget we're all pirates, with the Straw Hats as the leaders."
As pirates, they will inevitably fight for the One Piece sooner or later, so there's no need to try to get close to them.
Luffy clearly understood what Law said, but he wasn't angry, since he had been prepared for this from the beginning.
"Ah, I know."
Luffy nodded, then continued, "Let's not talk about that now, Travis. There's something I want to ask you."
Luo:
So, what exactly is Traman?
Forget it, there's no need to get angry with this guy. After all, he was the one who used that ridiculous knife two years ago.
After sighing inwardly, Law pointed to the path behind Luffy and said, "I think you're looking for something. Go around to the back of the research institute; the person you're looking for is there."
"Whoosh~"
"Thanks!" Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.
"Nothing special," Luo said calmly.
As long as it doesn't interfere with his plans.
This time, Luffy didn't say anything more about what would happen next, but instead turned and ran towards his crew.
After watching the other person leave, Luo slowly narrowed his eyes.
"The Straw Hat Pirates' swords..."
'
At this moment, Luo's thoughts began to stir.
After chuckling softly, Luo turned and walked towards the research institute.
After returning to his crew, Luffy laughed and said, "I didn't expect this guy to be such a nice person."
He actually told him the location of his fellow group members directly. He knew he hadn't misjudged him!
"What did you talk about with him?" Usopp asked curiously.
"He told me Nami and the others are behind the research institute." Luffy pointed in the direction of the institute and said, "We should be able to meet up with Nami and the others there."
"I see...
'
Usopp nodded; this information came quite easily.
Xi Yan looked thoughtfully at the spot where Luo had disappeared, sensing that something was off about the guy.
A Shichibukai appearing in a place like this... what's his motive?
Could it be that the guy who did the human experiments is in a cooperative relationship with this Shichibukai?
Thinking of this, west Yan frowned.
"Looks like this guy doesn't really want us to get close to this building," Nico Robin chuckled.
This guy is so eager to get them to leave and find Nami and the others elsewhere... What exactly is Trafalgar Law plotting?
"Let them hide whatever they want, it has nothing to do with us," Zoro said calmly. "Our priority is to find Nami and the others."
"Yohohohoho~"
"That's right~" Brook said with a chuckle, "Finding our companions is the most important thing~"
As for the secret of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?
There's no need to delve into it; after all, it's not good for anyone.
Luffy chuckled upon hearing this, then patted the man with the tea-beard and said, "Hey, Crocodile Centaur, speed up!"
"I'm already going full speed ahead!" the tea-bearded man said speechlessly.
How fast do you want him to run?
Then, Tea Beard glanced in the direction of the laboratory out of the corner of his eye, thinking: "Luo, I understand that last look in your eyes...you wanted to save me, right?"
He understands!
He understands everything!
He will obediently follow these guys' orders until his master and Law come to rescue him!
Meanwhile, on the other side...
In the area behind the research institute, Nami and the others were huddled together for warmth.
"This knife isn't working," Chopper said anxiously, glancing at the children huddled together. "The children are nearing their limit."
"Then take off this hairy body."
"What kind of nonsense are you spouting?!" Chopper roared, his shark mouth agape. "How can this be taken off??"
This is part of his body, you bastard!
"There's really no need for that," Sanji said. "After all, all you have is a body full of hair."
Chopper: ? ? ?
Damn it, is that the point?!
"It would be nice to find some warm clothes," Perona said, looking around. "Or a room sheltered from the wind would also be fine."
It's better than freezing here.
"Where am I supposed to find clothes in a place like this?" Nami said, exasperated.
There's nowhere to be found... having money is useless!
"If only Merry were here..." Chopper said, looking down. "She would definitely have a lot of clothes in her pockets."
If the other party were here, they would definitely be able to put cotton-padded clothes on the children!
"That's true, but we can't contact them right now," Nami said.
After she finished speaking, she considered whether she could use the power of the clouds to block the wind.
But she immediately killed the thought, after all... she wasn't using her own body right now.
"Now that things have come to this... only I can do it."
"Um?"
The group was stunned for a moment upon hearing Kin'emon's words, then looked at Kin'emon with a puzzled expression and asked, "What do you mean?"
'
"Do you have a way of getting cotton-padded clothes?" Perona asked curiously.
"That's right."
Kin'emon instinctively wanted to nod, but gave up when he thought about how he would only have one head left.
Then he continued, "Everyone, find a stone and put it on your head, and leave the rest to me."
"What exactly do you want to do?"
"Trust me," Kin'emon said earnestly.
Upon hearing this, Fran and the others exchanged glances and then decided to trust each other this once.
Soon, everyone placed a small stone on their heads as Kin'emon had asked.
Then Nami said, "Okay, we've done it according to your instructions. You can begin now."
Fran glared at him and said, "If you dare to recite any of that bullshit cold-proof incantation, I'll beat you to death!"
"Of course not, I possess sorcery!"
After saying that, Kin'emon said no more and immediately closed his eyes to activate his Devil Fruit ability.
The next moment...
"bump!"
As the white smoke drifted by, thick cotton-padded coats immediately appeared on everyone's bodies!
"A cotton-padded coat?"
Nami stared in astonishment at the cotton-padded coat she was wearing and asked, "How did you do that?"
"Because I ate an incredible fruit back then, I can freely change other people's appearances."
Kin'emon said.
Perona: ? ? ?
"Isn't this just a Devil Fruit?!" Perona retorted. "You've already eaten this kind of fruit before, so why are you still saying it's not the same?"
Is this a scam?
Or does this guy have some other ulterior motive?
Thinking of this, Perona's gaze towards Kin'emon became more scrutinizing.
If this guy really dares to come up with any bad ideas, she wouldn't mind teaching him a lesson.
"I do not believe that Shikito is a Devil Fruit; I have only eaten a fruit of divine power," Kin'emon said.
Perona: ...
What kind of knife is this?
Is knowledge too scarce?
"Oh, right."
Kin'emon seemed to remember something and said, "Because these clothes are created by sorcery, you must not take them off, or they will disappear."
The others nodded in agreement, indicating that they would follow suit.
"So, you're a Devil Fruit user..." Franri stared at Kin'emon, then said, "Then why didn't you show your sword from the start, you bastard!"
"Didn't you see the children are so cold they're about to cry!"
"bump!"
In the end, Fran jumped up and kicked Kin'emon in the head, giving him a big bump!
"?"
Chopper stared blankly at Fran, saying, "Fran, what are you doing?"
"Of course it's because this guy got beaten up by his neighbor," Fran Chou said irritably. "Why didn't he use this skill sooner? What was he thinking?"
What if the children get sick from the cold?
Chopper pursed his lips upon hearing this. The logic was sound, but...
Ok?
What is this guy flaunting?
Seeing Kin'emon's red face, Chopper was immediately filled with question marks.
Will you get red marks after being beaten up?
"Tell me, what are you thinking?" Fran said, glaring at Kin'emon.
"It's because of the swimsuits, of course..."
'
Kin'emon coughed lightly and said, "It's such a rare and beautiful sight; it would be a real shame to block it out..."
'
Nami:? ? ?
Upon hearing Kin'emon's words, Nami's mind immediately filled with question marks, before she angrily retorted, "Are you an idiot, you bastard?!"
"bump!"
"bump!"
"bump!"
"ah!!!"
Kin'emon, who had been beaten up, immediately let out a shrill scream, which sent chills down his spine.
Upon seeing this, the children immediately showed expressions of fear.
"Princess Sisters are so scary..."
'
Listening to the children's words, Perona sighed helplessly, then looked at Nami and said, "Nami, that's my body..."
'
"Oh, I'm sorry."
Nami lowered her fist and said, "But don't you want to beat this guy up?"
Perona blinked upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Yes!"
Nami immediately burst out laughing; that would be incredible.
We should beat this guy up!
"Feed~"
"Everyone~"
"So you're here."
The group who heard Luffy's voice were stunned for a moment, then looked back in surprise and said to Brother Xiang, "It's Luffy's voice!"
"Great, they're here!!"
