The capital of the seven waters.

Some people are born with a troublesome physique, and they can set off a storm wherever they go.

Let's say a certain straw hat kid.

On the way to sail, you can meet Admiral Kuzan who is taking a nap, but Kuzan didn't take them seriously because of Karp, otherwise this boatload of people will be wiped out after a direct wave of GODLIKE.

The Golden Merry sailed here from the East China Sea, and the dhow was already covered in bruises, and finally there was no way to continue sailing with Luffy and his party, and they also decided to completely repair the Golden Merry in the capital of the seven waters ahead.

Fortunately, they harvested a large amount of gold on the Sky Island, but they didn't worry about the funds.

After that, the journey to the capital of the seven waters was smooth sailing.

In fact, the plot here is slightly different from the original, originally when Blackbeard and Ace were fighting, Luffy had already made a big fuss on Justice Island, and was offered a reward of 300 million Bailey.

And Blackbeard has been trying to catch this pirate with a bounty of more than 100 million since he met Luffy on Gaya Island, in exchange for his qualification to become the Seven Martial Seas.

Because Ace is much stronger than in the plot, he is also much faster in his pursuit of Blackbeard.

This leads to an early encounter between the two.

However, the impact of the war has been caused for a long time without any reduction, but because of factors such as Ace's strength and fame, it has come more violently.

It's just that such news has not yet been reported.

And the Straw Hats have landed in the City of Seven Waters.

The newcomers of the Straw Hats begin to split up to complete their respective missions.

Luffy and Nami Usoppe go to the bank to exchange the gold they brought back from Sky Island for Bailey, while Robin takes Chopper to buy something.

It was Sanji and Zoro who stayed behind to watch the ship, and Sanji obviously had a problem with staying on the ship and staying with Zoro, and he also got off the ship and boarded the capital of the Seven Waters.

So, the candidate to watch the boat is still a guy who didn't like to get off the boat because of the road idiot attribute in the past.

Luffy didn't talk about it for a while, and first shifted his perspective to Robin and the mascot Chopper.

The City of Seven Waters is a welcoming city, especially for beautiful women.

It seems that a trend has been cultivated, and when I meet a good-looking person, I will always think of accosting and praising two sentences.

It doesn't mean anything else, it's just a simple expression of appreciation.

"There are a lot of guys like Sanji here."

Chopper turned into his original reindeer and followed Robin's side, and found that he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead as he found it along the way.

Robin smiled and nodded, "Well, it's a very interesting place, the city is cleaner than other places, and even the waterways here are very clean." ”

Chopper stopped Robin's words and looked around, looked carefully, and found that it was really as Robin said.

The city is really clean and tidy.

He turned his head and was about to meet when he suddenly saw a man with a strange white mask, was startled, and took two steps back.

"It's just a mask, so don't be afraid."

Robin smiled and explained to Chopper, "There were a lot of people on the road just now, you see over there, it's not a toy store." ”

Chopper followed Robin's finger and saw that there was a place selling masks, and another person was picking out for his children.

It breathed a sigh of relief: "I see, I thought that person had a very strange face!"

Why do so many of them wear masks? ”

"Hehehe, when we walked on the road, we heard people discussing that there was a large masquerade event in the city of spring queens, a big city where the sea train passed, and it may be related to this event."

"Wow, Robin, you're amazing." Chopper admired with a look of admiration, "I didn't even pay attention to the fact that you could hear their conversation from so far away." ”

Robin nodded: "Well, this is my habit, because since I was a child, I had to look at other people's faces and listen to other people's words to understand what they meant in order to survive." ”

Chopper nodded as if he didn't understand.

It only felt powerful, but it didn't understand how an 8-year-old child survived the bounty of 79 million Bailey and the title of son of the devil.

The sadness in this can actually be summed up in a habit?

And in the past 20 years, it is a great miracle that Robin has not been distorted at all.

It's not enough for outsiders, but fortunately, she survived, and she really has a group of reliable partners.

"Mr. Ship Doctor, you see there is a big bookstore in front of you."

Swish!!

As soon as Robin's words fell, Chopper seemed to teleport to the door of the bookstore more than ten meters away.

It looked back at Robin, "Can I go in and read, Robin?" There must be a lot of medical books in such a big bookstore. ”

Robin smiled, "Of course, Mr. Ship Doctor, please feel free. ”

"Thank you, Robin. Then I'll go in first. ”

After Chopper thanked him, he couldn't wait to push open the door and walk in.

The breeze blew and ruffled the bangs on Robin's forehead, and the corners of her eyes narrowed, and her smile seemed to be drunk in the breeze.

At this moment, a man in front of him wearing a white strange mask came up to him in a strange costume.

He didn't stop, and as he passed by Robin, he suddenly spoke, "I'm Cp9, Nicole Robin, if you know the name, you should know how to do it." ”

The smile on Robin's face froze.

A trace of shocked and complicated emotions flashed in her eyes, her brows were tightly locked, and cold sweat seemed to flow from the corners of her forehead.

She didn't dwell on it for long, but after a little thought, she turned around and followed the guy in front of her who had already reached the corner of the wall and called himself Cp9.

……

……

The prologue of the story begins here.

What happened here Robin, and it wasn't all smooth sailing for Luffy and the three.

It's no different from the plot, Usopp was robbed of 200 million Bailey, and Luffy also got the news that he couldn't repair the Merry.

For the sake of future navigation safety, he chose to abandon the Merry, use the remaining 100 million berry to buy a new ship, and start sailing.

Usopp couldn't understand this decision, the Golden Merry was not only their pirate ship, but also the ship was from Koya, and he would not choose to give up no matter what.

Even though Usopp was seriously injured at this time and was covered with bandages, he still yelled at Luffy unwillingly: "Hey, Luffy, you won't give up on the Merry because of the words of the shipyard workers, right?"

You must know that she has been with us for so long, we can get here all thanks to her, so many battles and risks have survived, she will never fall here, I believe!

I'm never going to give up on Merry anyway! Never! ”

Tears had wet Usopp's face, and even though he was coughing up blood as he spoke, he didn't lower his voice in the slightest.

This liar, who has grown up since childhood, showed an almost paranoid insistence on this time, and he did not flinch even if it was his captain in front of him.

Usopp's emotions could be felt by all, and they were full of affection for the Merry.

But the reality is often like this, many of those former companions are separated as they walk, and if you want to move on, you can only say goodbye to them.

"Usopp."

Luffy looked at the long nose covered in wounds, and didn't mean to flinch at all: "I'm the captain, I've already decided, no matter what you say now, I won't change my mind, just say goodbye to the Merry in this place." ”

Usopp grabbed Luffy by the collar, and he stared at Luffy with wide eyes and roared, "What are you kidding, I won't agree to this kind of thing."

You listened to me Luffy, not everyone can be as positive as you, ask me to give up my injured companion and move on, I can't do it! ”

"Calm down, Usopp!" Luffy was equally angry, "Do you think we're not in pain? The Merry was also our companion, but it was no longer able to sail.

People are not the same as boats, do you understand idiots! ”

Luffy said, breaking free of Usopp's palm and knocking him to the ground.

However, Usopp didn't listen at all, and the previous self-blame for being robbed of the money and the excitement of abandoning the Merry had made him lose his mind.

"It's the same! Merry also has the perseverance to sail with us, and she won't fall so easily. ”

Usopp got up and looked at Luffy: "But if we don't give up on her, you say that you are suffering for Merry, but in fact you are already complacent about the upcoming new ship." ”

"Give me enough to stop, bastard!"

Luffy knocked Usopp down with a punch, looked at him and said, "Do you think you're the only one in pain?" Everyone is the same. ”

"Then the decision to change ships will not be made at all, will it?"

Luffy was also irritated by Usopp's words, and impulsive words blurted out from his mouth: "Since you are so dissatisfied with my decision, then don't recognize me as a captain, from my ......"

Bang!!

It was Sanji who kicked Luffy to the ground, so that his later words didn't come out.

"Bastard, do you know what you're talking about?"

Sanji calmed Luffy with this kick, and he picked up the straw hat on the ground and slapped it twice on his head.

"I'm sorry, I was too impulsive."

"No!" Usopp struggled to get up from the ground, he looked at Luffy and said, "It's okay Luffy, that was your true words just now, right?!" ”

"What did you say?"

"You just give up on us who are injured and useless, since you give up the Merry, then even I will give up!"

"To be honest, I don't think I can keep up with you powerful monsters.

I can't even take care of the money today, and I'll only cause you trouble in the future.

You don't want a weak companion, Luffy, your goal is to become a man in One Piece!

And I'm different, I don't need such a big goal, I think back to the beginning, it was you who invited me to get on the boat, it's just this fate. ”

As he spoke, Usopp stepped aside and picked up his package and slung it to his body. "Since we don't agree on it, we can't sail together anymore."

Stumbling to his feet, Usopp walked towards the outside of the cabin.

"Hey, Usopp, where are you going?" Sanji's voice sounded behind him.

"It's my freedom to go anywhere, and it has nothing to do with you.

I...... I'm going to leave you guys! ”

When the words fell, the cabins were closed, as if the door of the heart was closed, and the inside and outside of the door suddenly became two worlds.

The group followed and chased out of the cabin, and Usopp's thin figure looked a little cocoon in the setting sun.

As if sensing a group of people behind him, Usopp turned and looked up at them standing on the side of the ship.

"Luffy, I can't continue to follow you, until I finally caused you a lot of trouble."

The trouble he was referring to was, of course, the 200 million Baileys that had been snatched from him.

Now, though, none of that matters.

"This ship naturally belongs to you as the captain, so ...... Fight with me, Monchi D. Luffy, duel with me!

Just take the Golden Merry as a bet, I will defeat you, win the Merry, and then our fate will end here. ”

Usopp paused to ease the discomfort of the injury.

Finally, he stretched out his bandaged arm and pointed at Luffy.

"I'll be back here at 10 o'clock tonight!"
