The sea was calm again, as if nothing had just happened.

It's so calm that it's terrifying, like the calm before a storm.

What frightens people is never the baptism of storms, but the clear sky and the mood shattered by dark clouds.

......

In the depths of the seabed, where the black shadow had just flashed in, an extremely harsh and sharp murmur suddenly sounded.

It was as if the boiling hot water had collided with the cold seawater, and the tremendous energy was constantly switching between the two, making an extremely unstable sound.

Kulokas, who was standing on the shore, took his harpoon back.

I was about to go up to check it, but my eyes suddenly changed, and I seemed to stop consciously.

His eyes trembled slightly in his pupils, as if he couldn't believe that the majestic power he felt when he saw and heard the domineering spirit actually existed in front of his eyes.

Only his body, with great honesty, took a few steps back again, avoiding the approaching water.

In Kulokas' line of sight, a huge glowing red sphere suddenly appeared in the depths of the ocean floor.

It's like the sun in the sky, reflected in the sea.

Even across the hundreds of meters of water, he could feel the boundless blazing sensation contained in the sun under the sea!

The red energy sphere expanded larger and larger at the bottom of the sea, and in the blink of an eye, it had reached a diameter of nearly a thousand meters.

It began to slowly approach the surface of the sea.

The sea began to boil, gurgling, and constantly producing bubbles, boiling bubbles.

"No...... Not good!!! ”

Feeling the majestic energy that was about to break through the sea, Kulokas instantly shouted in his heart!

Then his complexion changed instantly, and he turned around directly, heading towards the Red Earth Continent, fleeing frantically.

He has fought with all his strength, and he is also old and strong, and he has not lost his demeanor at all.

The two legs stepped on the red clay, forming a wisp of afterimage, and actually ran out of one of the six styles of the navy, the feeling of "shaving"!

And at the moment when Kulokas turned around, the sun under the sea had already broken through the seawater.

Wow......

The murmur continued, mingling with the gurgling of boiling water.

Coming out of the depths of the sea, a huge layer of water suddenly bulged.

The entire surface of the sea was reflected in a patch of red orange, like the evening sun, burning the whole sky red.

Boom!!!

A loud bang erupted instantly, and the bulging water bubbles suddenly gushed upward!

A blazing pillar of flame, like the magma of an undersea volcano erupting, gushed upwards from the depths of the sea, and soared into the sky.

Completely connect the sky and the sea, the same heat, the same red!

The sea water is evaporating even more!

Even though Kulokas was already clinging to the mountain wall of the Red Earth Continent, he was still surged by this wild mist, carrying ultra-high heat energy, and his skin was reddened.

The whole person is like a crab that has been cooked in an iron pot.

A little bit of black substance instantly covered the surface of his body.

He's scared, he's really scared!

What kind of demons and monsters are these!

Covered in armament, he finally dared to breathe the rare air again.

Despite the scorching gas, his trachea burned painfully.

The pillar of flames of nearly a kilometer began to slowly shrink.

However, the sea seemed to be afraid, and did not dare to follow the footsteps of the flames and move closer to the center.

As a result, in the middle of the vast ocean, a strange vacuum appeared, like a scene that can only appear in the vortex that rotates extremely fast, and it appeared in the calm sea.

The flame pillar, which had been changing, finally stopped when it shrank to a range of tens of meters.

Behind the surging flame barrier, the figure of a ship slowly appeared.

Like a shadow puppet show, the dark shadow of the ship began to grow larger and larger.

Wow!

The flames of the red orange dissipated in an instant!

The surging sea water tumbled violently into the hollow like a crowd of people crowding the subway, filling the void of the sea.

The Merry, however, landed smoothly on the rough waves.

Riding the high tide, rush towards the port of anchorage near the lighthouse.

……

……

"Uncle, long time no see!"

Luffy, who jumped down from the Merry first, was completely unaware of the huge formation he had just caused.

Smiling happily, he greeted Kulokas after a long absence.

"You kid......"

Kulokas wiped the mist off the lenses with the corner of his clothes, looked at Luffy who was smirking at him with big teeth, and didn't know if he really didn't know, or if he pretended not to know.

I had to shake my head a little helplessly, faded the armed color domineering on my body, and said to Luffy

"It's a great voyage, and it's such a big battle.

Do you think you're a newcomer who has just set sail!? ”

"Ah...... Hahahaha......"

Luffy, who was reprimanded by Kulocas, scratched his head in embarrassment.

Seeing the slight burns on Kulokas's body, he seemed to realize that he had just been overexcited, and replied with some embarrassment

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, uncle!"

"No, today we have a new partner.

Some of them were overjoyed, and when they were not careful, they played the childlike nature......"

"Hahaha......"

After Luffy explained, he remembered about his new partner.

Filled with joy again, he burst out laughing.

"Humph!"

Kulokas put his glasses back on, snorted lightly, and said disdainfully to Luffy

"In front of me, you've always been a bunch of kids!"

With that, Kurokas took a closer look at the people who had stepped down from the Merry.

In addition to Brooke and Robin, who have already been seen, there are Zoro carrying Kirby, Sanji carrying Usopp, and Nami wearing a gothic princess dress......

There were so many more people than before, which really surprised Kurokas.

After all, he knew that Luffy was back, but the East China Sea had been in a uproar recently.

A few days ago, I also heard Bucky, who had just entered the great voyage, say that the situation in the East China Sea is already a bad one.

There are no newcomers who dare to blatantly claim that they are pirates, and even many veteran pirates are incognito and secretly live the life of ordinary people.

Luffy was able to assemble a group of reliable crew members in that environment in just two years, which really surprised him.

And, apart from the two men who had passed out, he couldn't see anything.

The remaining three people, but it was true, made him feel a sense of fear......

Especially, the swordsman with three knives.

I've confirmed my eyes, and I'm a person I can't mess with.

……

……

"Yo ho ho ho ho ho~"

Brooke, who was the last to step off the boat, immediately stepped forward to give a gentlemanly salute when he saw Kulokas, and smiled happily

"Mr. Kulokas, it's been a long time!"

Facing the polite Brooke, Kulokas also replied calmly

"yes......

Brooke, long time no see......"

Between the words, there was a faint hint of reluctance and expectation.

As if sensing Kulokas's thoughts, Brooke said in time

"Rab misses you too, Mr. Kurokas."

With that, Brooke opened his Celestial Spirit Cover with the explosive head on top and pulled Rab's Poké Ball out.

Luffy also immediately interjected at this time

"Speaking of which, Rab hasn't come out for a long time.

Now that we have reached the Great Voyage, we don't have so many worries, so let it follow us on an adventure in the future! ”

"Oh~"

In the central district of Poké Ball City, Rab's happy submission voice suddenly came from.

Since Luffy and the others turned on the sailing ship system, it was also under Luffy's intentional guidance that they did not let Rab come out for a while.

This is done in order to quickly cultivate the Merry, so that the ship spirit of the Merry can take shape as soon as possible.

The second is that Rab's size is too large, and although the East China Sea is vast, there are also many islands and ships.

With Rab's size, a tsunami caused by any rollover could easily wipe out an island.

However, in the case of the Great Voyage, there are not so many concerns.

The islands here are not so dense, and there are no small islands that are afraid of wind and waves.

There is no ordinary person who dares to sail here.

Later, Rab will be able to accompany the Merry to his heart's content.

When the gold is sufficient, find a way to build a nest for Rab on the Merry.

He remembered that there seemed to be a custom building for pets in the building system.

It's just that at that time, Luffy was also penniless, so he didn't dare to look down again.

The main reason is that I am afraid that the small heart will not be able to bear it.

If there was something particularly good that Luffy couldn't buy, he would regret it!!

However, the lack of gold coins is indeed a problem!

The pirates in the East China Sea are so weak and worthless.

Licking his lips slightly, Luffy's eyes seemed to flash with a trace of thought.

It looks like the pirates of the Great Voyage are about to suffer......
