When night falls, the moonlight falls on the sea, reflecting the incomparably magnificent moon in the water, and the water city under the moonlight is even more moving, and the sea water from the top of the city is constantly spewing with a trace of crystal color.

However, this beautiful scene, neither the Straw Hats nor Wu Biao were in the mood to appreciate it.

At this moment, under the moonlit night, the Straw Hats are engaged in a decisive battle, a decisive battle born of the ship, and a ...... Buddies break up the battle!

Kaku, who came to check on the damage to the Merry, brought back the news that was difficult for everyone to accept, that is, the Merry could no longer sail. In the end, in desperation, Luffy could only reluctantly make the decision to change ships.

However, this decision was not accepted by Usopp, and after a quarrel, the two of them, unable to control their emotions, finally walked to the shore for a final duel before parting.

As for the outcome of this duel...... Everybody knows that Usopp can't win.

But you can't stop it, whether it's for Usopp or for Luffy.

Except for Robin, who is missing, the Straw Hats can only choose to watch, because ...... It's not a battle they can meddle in.

……

A few miles away from the Straw Hats, behind the Water City, there is a huge garbage dump with countless piles of garbage, and any garbage from the Water Capital shipyard will be thrown here.

All sorts of shipwrecks are laid over the entire coast.

Over time, this part of the coast was completely abandoned, and few people came here.

Rumble!

The terrifying sound of explosions reverberated across the shore, and the smoke and dust that rolled up in the dark night obscured the moonlight, turning the entire area into a dull light.

The smoke cleared, and the moonlight was once in King's Land, but what was reflected was the potholes, as if the ground had been carpeted by countless bombs, and the wood scraps of abandoned ships drifted in the sky.

The pile of garbage on the shore, as if it had been hit by some terrible impact, collapsed into countless charred black substances, covering the shore and covering the original sand.

"Sure enough, it still doesn't work?"

A shirtless figure stood here, it was Wu Biao who had left the Straw Hats and came here alone.

At this time, he was quite embarrassed, and his body was covered with all kinds of scars, although these scars were gradually relieving under the ignition of karmic fire. It was covered in blood, even the tattered white pants, which were stained a dark red with blood.

Under the illumination of the moonlight, Wu Biao's face actually appeared pale, and even the soil on the ground under his feet showed a strange dark red color, which was ...... Dark red color after being penetrated by blood.

Plop –

With a muffled sound, Wu Biao's upright body went straight down.

"Whew... Whoop......"

A cry like a broken bellows came from his mouth, but Wu Biao's face was full of a deep groan, if this scene was seen by Ichigo, his jaw would probably fall to the ground.

This kind of expression appeared on Brother Biao's face, no matter how you look at it, it feels extremely weird.

"No matter what, if it doesn't work once, I'll practice it a hundred times; If it doesn't work a hundred times, Lao Tzu will practice it 10,000 times! Wu Biao gritted his teeth fiercely, raised his arm and slammed into the ground beside him.

Rumble!

Under the punch, the ground shook: "Absolutely... Absolute...... Be strong! ”

Don't want to...... Lost again.

The strength is suppressed, the body is suppressed, everything is suppressed by this shit world.

Even if that's the case......

I don't want to lose.

Even if I'm weak now, I don't want to lose again.

Because...... Enough has been lost.

I have experienced enough of that taste of defeat......

I am invincible!!

Wu Biao shouted in his mind, he had always used the suppression of his strength as an excuse for his defeat, but he had never thought of any other way to win than to lift the suppression of the world!!

This is...... Wrong.

Even if the ontological strength is weak, it is necessary to win.

If you can't fight, then you will become stronger, not physically, but fighting skills, skills that can help you become stronger.

Sweep away all enemies in the path.

This is Wu Biao's goal all along.

With both hands clenched, Wu Biao's pupils were full of bloodshots, and they were extremely red under the moonlight, this was not the karmic fire of hell, but Wu Biao's intention to win, and it was also the flame that Wu Biao was unwilling to do.

Unwilling to ...... I'm so unwilling!

If you think about it, since I came into this world, all I have fought against are weakling......

When... When will it start...... Am I going to be able to defeat the weak?

When did I see defeat so openly?

Because there is an excuse?

As long as I am defeated, can I blame the world for suppressing me?

Wrong, all wrong.

No matter how strong the other party is......

I'm going to defeat them, with my current strength!!

What bullshit world suppresses, that kind of thing doesn't matter at all.

Right now...... That's all I'm capable of.

It's too weak, it's too weak......

But, I also want to win.

Because I want to be strong, and only those who can win in the face of adversity are truly strong!!

"Be strong, be strong no matter what."

In the firm voice, the muscles on Wu Biao's body began to tremble, and then he stood up from the ground again.

Although the figure is staggering, the back is extremely tall, like a tiger that has broken through the cage, roaring wantonly because of freedom. The figure suddenly rushed out, and Wu Biao's figure turned into a blood-colored afterimage.

Leaping on the edge of the coast, he jumped straight into the sea, causing a layer of scarlet blood to float on the water.

Time passed little by little, and after more than ten minutes, a huge black shadow gradually emerged from the bottom of the sea, causing waves to rise on the surface of the sea, and a huge sea beast was thrown ashore in the roar.

A flame ensued, enveloping the sea beast, and bursts of flesh fragrance emanated in the blink of an eye.

Under the moon, the bald boy, with a blood-red glow in his eyes, frantically gnawed on the jerky and tasteless sea beast......

Enjoy, this is the right of the strong.

The weak only need to fight to become stronger!

……

On the other side, the Straw Hats' split battle also came to an end.

Even if they have been sailing together for so long, they are familiar with all the moves of their partners and refrain from doing so. But the essential gap between Usopp and Luffy is not something that these little clevers can make up.

The scorched ground, the messy battlefield, and the tears of the partners.

None of this should have happened!

However, there is no way to stop it.

Because he is the captain of this pirate group......

Luffy raised his head and looked at Usopp, who was already unable to get up again in the distance, and shouted his final goodbye in a hoarse voice: "Idiot, how can you beat me." ”

Tears rolled down his cheeks, and after glancing at Usopp who had fallen to the ground, Luffy turned around with his head down and walked towards the Merry behind him, but he stopped again after just a few steps.

Without looking back, covering the brim of his hat, Luffy exhaled deeply and said, "Merry will be at your disposal, we will get a new ship and continue sailing, goodbye, all the time...... I am very happy. ”

Tick tock...

Tear by tear, dripping to the ground, Luffy stood beneath the Merry with his head down.

This scene made Nami and Chopper unable to hold back their tears any longer.

"It's heavy..."

"This is the captain." Zoro looked at Luffy below, with a touch of solemnity in his tone, and a hint of warning: "Luffy, don't be confused, if you are so hesitant, who should we believe?" ”

"Give him the ship, for we will never get it back."

After taking their belongings, everyone left the Merry, stood in the distance, took a deep last look at the Merry, turned to leave, and the silver-white moonlight, shining on the earth, stretched everyone's reflection for a long, long, long time...

……

At the same time, the City of Water, the Mayor's Office.

However, at this moment, the situation of the mayor of the water capital has become extremely dangerous.

Next to the desk, the iceberg was clutching his chest, a pool of blood was already flowing from the ground, and he looked at the two figures in front of him with a pale face.

One is a tall man with a mask who can't see clearly.

And Ling Yi is a woman with long black hair, who is Nicole Robin, who mysteriously disappeared after coming to the water capital. At this time, she was holding a fire system in her hand, and the target she was pointing at was an iceberg that had fallen to the ground.

Holding the gunshot wound in his chest, Bingshan gasped and asked, "Who are you?" Why do you want to deal with me? ”。

Having said that, the iceberg's eyes were fixed on Nicole Robin, and he naturally wouldn't fail to recognize this face, after all...... Once he had been paying attention to this woman's news.

Because of this, he recognized it at a glance and recognized the identity of the woman in front of him.

The son of the devil, Nicole Robin, is the only one who can decipher ancient texts and unlock ancient weapons.

It's still here after all, right?

Or rather...... It's really late.

Brought Nicole Robin here, and the masked man next to him can imagine the purpose, but ...... Who will it be?

Just as Bingshan was thinking, the tall man with a mask spoke, his voice was very weird, giving people a hoarse feeling of not speaking for a long time: "Mr. Bingshan, you are a smart person, you shouldn't need us to say more, you can guess what we mean." ”

Bingshan's eyes changed slightly, and he secretly said in his heart.

After a pause, the hoarse voice continued, "Mr. Iceberg, don't waste time, hand over the blueprints, that kind of thing is not something you can hold." ”

A slight cold wind blew in through the window, and the curtains were blown high and swept on the iceberg.

Bingshan frowned, the other party obviously didn't want to delay time with him, and without saying anything, he fired two shots at himself, which showed the other party's determination, not simply talking.

What to do? Iceberg thought quickly in his mind about what could be done to solve the crisis he was facing.

The look on Robin's face, his eyes became colder and colder.

Bang!

Another bullet was fired and pierced directly through the iceberg's chest, but this shot did not attack the vital point of the iceberg, but was far away from the heart.

Looking at the pained iceberg, a faint apology flashed in Robin's eyes, but he regained his coldness and said in an extremely cold voice: "Thing, where is it?" ”

"It's really worthy of a woman who has been swimming in the dark for 20 years, and her approach is really vicious and decisive." The masked man on the side said in a mocking tone.

Iceberg lay to the ground in pain, but there was still a hint of clarity in his eyes.

The relationship between the two in front of him does not seem to be the partnership he imagined.

Temporary formation?

"Mr. Iceberg, I hope you can cooperate with us." With a few words in succession, the masked man's voice became no longer so hoarse, but there was endless coldness in his tone.

Click!

The fire system in Robin's hand was raised again, pointing directly at the iceberg that had fallen to the ground.

"Hurry up, the gunshots are coming from Mr. Iceberg!"

Just then, there was a sudden sound of footsteps in the corridor outside.

The masked man glanced up at the iceberg, and a chuckle came from under the mask: "We will come again, Mr. Iceberg, I hope you can cooperate with us next time." ”

As he spoke, the masked man and Robin both walked to the window and jumped down.

Bang!

Seconds later, the door was pushed open, and Mayor Iceberg's secretary named Kalifa was the first to rush in, all of them anxious at the sight of Iceberg lying in a pool of blood.

……

The next day, the news of the iceberg being attacked spread directly throughout the water capital.

However, because the people arrived too late, and by the time the rescuers entered the iceberg's office, it had already been severely injured and unconscious, so no one knew who had attacked the iceberg.

The Straw Hats clashed with the Frankies.

Previously, because Bailey was robbed, Usopp broke into the Frankie family alone, and was seriously injured. For the sake of their companions, the Straw Hats directly attacked the base of the Frankie family, destroying the entire Frankie family.

However, the boss of the Frankie family was not in the water capital at that time.

So when he came back, he directly found the Straw Hats, and Luffy and Frankie started a battle at Dock One.

However, they were stopped by the boatmen at Dock 1.

Because the iceberg woke up, the first target that attacked him last night was directly locked on the Straw Hats, after all, through the intelligence from the government, Nicole Robin was the crew of the Straw Hat Pirates.

……

Bang bang bang......

On the shore, a series of banging sounds sounded.

On the Merry, Usopp is holding tools and constantly repairing the damaged parts of the Merry.

"Don't worry, Merry, I won't leave you." Usopp had a smile on his face, but his back looked so lonely.

It's my choice, I don't regret it, I don't feel sorry at all.

"Huh?"

A voice was heard in confusion, and Usopp turned his head to find a shirtless, bloodstained figure standing behind him, the blood had dried up.

However, even if this person stood a meter away from him, he could smell a disgusting smell of blood coming to his face.

"Why are you alone?"

"It's you!!"

When Usopp heard the voice, he remembered this person, and his face suddenly changed: "Why are you back again?" Haven't you already left? Did you regret it and want to capture Luffy? ”

"Yawn......" Wu Biao waved his hand: "I just came to find a place to sleep, and I left at night." ”

"Hey!"

Usopp is speechless, there is something wrong with this navy, right? There are no places to rest, so why do you have to come to the pirate ship to rest.

Plop –

A muffled sound sounded, and Usopp was startled, and it was a real jump, and then he realized that the mighty navy had fallen asleep on the deck.

Looking at the dried blood stains on Wu Biao's body, as well as the countless terrifying scars on his body, Usopp's face couldn't help but show a look of shock.

What happened to this person?
