Before the Polusalino crossing, the Wano Country chapter that Oda Thief spent the most effort to create was actually quite anticipated by fans at first. After all, before the official start of this chapter, there are already all kinds of cool setting foreshadowing: Dragon Slayer, Kaido, Roger, and Whitebeard's crew Ota Mita, artificial Devil Fruits......

However, as the plot progressed, the Guangyue family began to "exert force", and this chapter also became criticized. And one of the most controversial points is the "collapse" of the Straw Hats' personality.

You must know that Luffy and the others have never been "saviors" in the traditional sense. In the past plots, whether it is the earliest Aaron Park chapter, or the nearest Wano Country chapter, Dressrosa and Cake Island chapter, when Luffy and his partners lend a hand, there must be a premise, that is, the rescued people must have a sense of self-help and their own unremitting struggle.

The most classic example is none other than Robin's answer that Luffy wanted and must hear: "I want to live!" Take me to the sea too! ”

Then, these people who have the consciousness of self-help and struggle will infect each other with Luffy and others until they defeat the strong enemy together, leaving a long-lasting story.

However, in the Wano Country chapter, this premise that even if it is valid for the companions on the ship, it is completely inexplicably impressed by the "charm of the Guangyue family":

Mitsuki Sukiyaki hid and pretended to be dead for more than 20 years and didn't ask about the world, Mitsuki Mita chose to blindly believe in the other party's credibility in the face of the enemy and was stupid to death by himself, Mitsuki Momonosuke chose to surrender and escape even at the critical moment when Luffy gambled his life to fight Kaido - this is such a Mitsuki talent, Luffy and others still have to gamble everything to help them, and even show blind worship of Mitsuki Mita, which is obviously not acceptable to fans who have followed the Straw Hats all the way on adventures for a long time.

Of course, in the timeline that is now affected by Polusalino, Luffy and his companions will definitely never be allowed to have such a chance to be stupid again.

However, even if he changed from a rubber boy to a dark boy, Luffy's trait of being able to unite and encourage the oppressed and bullied has not changed.

So—

Rumble!

！

The earth-shattering explosion shook the hall on the seventh floor of the experimental tower where Gigura was.

Moreover, the sound of this huge explosion was not just once, but continuous. Due to the force of the shockwave, the bottles topple, the tables overturned, the cups and plates fell to the ground and shattered, and the lavish celebration luncheon that Gigura had prepared for himself was completely ruined.

"What's going on? Feed! What happened! ”

Gigura shouted at the wobbly, untenable maids.

"Ji ...... Lord Gigula! ”

A strong man with cobra tattoos on his arms ran into the hall with a look of fear on his face.

Bang!

A bottle that hadn't been opened before it "swished" past.

Katsa!

"How many times have you been given the power of Lord Ben, and you already have terrifying power! This flustered and ridiculous appearance is to disgrace me?! ”

"What's more, I plan to use you as a propaganda sample in the future to supply careerists all over the world, and your image performance is related to Lao Tzu's business!"

The bottle that Gigura threw over hit the pirate who ran into the hall, shattering in one fell swoop. However, the strange thing is that the wine in the unopened bottle did not spill out, but directly penetrated into the strong man's body, making the purple cobra tattoo on his bare arms even more bewitching and lifelike.

“…… Be! Subordinates can't make mistakes again! ”

After hearing Gigula's reprimand, the pirate who had absorbed the wine in a strange way, first stood up respectfully and admitted his mistake, and then reported to him:

"In the case just now, the group of slaves on the island rebelled!"

"Rebellion?

Hearing the news, Jigula frowned slightly, and said with a displeased expression: "Don't tell me, you can't even solve the rebellion of these slaves." ”

"They're on a very large scale this time, and they're all going crazy with the two guys you've commanded, and they're all going crazy......"

"The immortal 'Dark Boy' Luffy, and his companion, 'Pirate Hunter' Zoron?"

Gigura's shark-like eyes shone with a vicious light.

And looking at Jigura's dangerous appearance, Nami, who had been taken down and then tied up in the corner of the hall, couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency.

(Luffy, this guy isn't an ordinary enemy...... ）

……

On the other side, under the influence of Luffy, an outsider with the aura of the superhuman agitation fruit, the villagers have shovels, iron pickaxes and various tools they use in their work to launch a riot.

"Let's go!"

"Take our island back from the wicked!"

At the forefront, there were probably dozens of people. And the most powerful man in command of this group is none other than Aldo, who was trampled on the ground and bullied, and even almost lost his daughter - he almost slipped into the abyss, but he was saved by Luffy by luck, so he will definitely not miss this opportunity.

"You bastard slaves!"

"Lawlessness!"

In the face of the raging villagers, the pirates under Gigura drew their swords and fought back.

Aldo, who took the lead, lit the fuse of the explosives in his hand and threw them - part of their daily work in the workshop, which was usually used by the thugs to suppress themselves, but became a powerful weapon of resistance.

The pirates, who wanted to engage the villagers in close quarters, saw Aldo's crazy appearance, and instantly made a decision, and turned around in a panic and fled.

And yet—

Bang!

With a loud bang, the explosives exploded, and the pirates, who had not had time to run far, were shocked into the air by the explosion of air.

"Everyone rush with me, victory is just around the corner!

”

Aldo was also a little dizzy by the blast, but he still tried his best to look up at the "Demon Tower", which they saw as the Experimental Tower, and then ignited several bundles of explosives handed by the villagers behind him, and threw them at the base of the tower.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

The incessant explosions seemed to uproot the tower, and the tower was shaken.

"You guys ......"

When Jigura saw the villagers rioting from the tower, he was furious. His face was ugly contorted with hatred, his clenched fists were white, and although he had drunk a lot of wine just now, his mind was now unusually clear.

It was his own negligence and arrogance that gave "Dark Boy" Luffy and "Pirate Hunter" Zoro the opportunity to help these villagers riot, and to blame, he could only blame the guys he recruited in the park for being too incompetent, and he didn't put much effort into cultivating.

After all, for Gigura, the rebellion of the villagers and Luffy Zoro's great activity were completely unexpected. The villagers are the docile domestic animals in his eyes, and like Mianyang, they will never show their sharp teeth; Luffy and Zoro are hyenas who have broken into the lion's territory, and they may have some strength, but they can't make big waves - Gigura still thinks so until just now.

"Cobra, let them know how terrible Lao Tzu is...... Take someone on! ”

Giggula ordered his men.

"Yes, Lord Gigula!"

"Boss Jigura!"

"Kill these slaves!

”

The pirates who poured out of the tower howled like wolves and drew their weapons.

They were some of the tougher men that Giggura had recruited in Paradise, and many of them had been granted his powers like "Cobra".

In fact, it is a bit like the original plot of the Pirates, the Hundred Beast Pirates will have an army of artificial Devil Fruit abilities at a future point in time. It's just that Jigura is developed with the special ability of the Fusion Fruit and his metamorphosis transformation technology for biological organs, so these modified pirates have relatively higher combat effectiveness, but the cost is also higher, and the success rate is lower.

After the slightly reliable subordinates rushed out—

Brush!

Gigura himself jumped from the experimental tower.

On his shoulder, at some point, a pair of dark red giant crab chelicera, several meters long, grew out, waving their teeth and claws, and launched an attack on the villagers.

……

"So what's next......"

In the hall after the pirates left, Nami was the only one left.

Firmly bound by iron chains, she couldn't move at all, and her orange hair, which was originally just slightly over her shoulder, began to grow with her thoughts.

The hair grew so fast that in just a few seconds, it was waist-high—the point where it could reach the lock of the chain.

Then, as if they had a life of their own, the hair gathered into thin strands, reaching into the keyhole from all angles, and twisting slightly—

"Cards!"

"Cards!"

"Cards!"

Soon, Nami was completely free! While moving her limbs to stretch her body, she also controlled her hair back to its original state.

That's right, with Nami's strength, defeating Jigura is of course impossible. But if it's just an escape, she's still sure.

However, for two reasons, she chose to confront this guy head-on, and then lost and was locked up.

On the one hand, the reason is very simple - Nami learned from the conversation between Jigura and his subordinates that Luffy and others have already appeared on this island. Regardless of the situation and position of these people at that time, according to Nami's knowledge of their strength and character, sooner or later they will appear in front of Gigura and fight against him. Rather than dragging them back when the time comes, Nami, who is the weakest, should spy on more information at this time, and can play a greater role at a critical moment, from a captured captive to a surprise soldier who appears inside.

On the other hand, while Gigura and his men are undoubtedly thugs, and even more so Piecro and the killers he has placed here, the wealth they have hoarded on the island, the treasure that would have been used to build the base, is innocent!

You know, since leaving Marin Fando and becoming a fake pirate, Nami has been watching the team's material reserves plummet. It's hard to have an opportunity to earn so much extra money, how can she let it go?!

The main thief does not go empty!

As for whether there will be no way to escape after being caught, it will be self-defeating - sorry, in addition to the basic six forms, Nami can also skillfully use the "life return", and after pouring her own consciousness into it, she can freely control her body, hair, and internal organs.

And she is not a capable person yet, and she is not afraid of the sea tower stone chain at all.

"The people who get in the way are gone, so I'm going to-"

Nami snickered and said to herself, but a childish voice rang out in the hall that should have been hers:

"Nami-san, I know ......"

"Haha, you scared the hell out of me! Sugar! ”

Nami shrugged slightly, patted her chest with her hand, and looked behind the throne that Gigura had set up for himself. There, Sucrose jumped out.

"Who are you fooling? How could you be intimidated by me? ”

"Hee-hee~"

Nami playfully stuck out her tongue and took out a bunch of keys from her chest - if Jigura was here, her eyes would have widened, this was clearly the key he had put in the drawer of the previous room, and Nami got her hands on it at some point, "No way, the harvest for that moment will be shared with you." ”

"Sanqi?"

Sucrose blinked.

"Hey, you're here on an important mission, aren't you? Sister Sucrose, why do you want so much treasure? ”

Nami pouted.

"Hee-hee, I have a lot of money to spend!"

Sucrose solemnly snapped her fingers, "Sister's birthday present, Sister Robin and Sister An's birthday gifts, cosmetics that will be on the market soon, my favorite set of doll clothes, ...... in the phone bug game"

"Okay, okay, don't say it, don't say it, I'll definitely give it to you!"

Nami held her forehead with one hand and shook her head with a headache, "Young people now......"

"I ......"

Sucrose also wanted to chat a few more words with Nami, a sister colleague she hadn't seen for a long time, and then at this moment, the faces of the two of them changed almost at the same time, and they turned their heads to look in the direction of the outside of the tower.

Their level of closeness was domineering, and they sensed it together-

"You're the biggest badass Chihuahua here, right?! My name is Monchi D. Luffy, and I'm the man who wants to beat you up! ”

"Bastard! Uncle Ben's name is Gigura!

”

"Die! Chihuahua!

！ ”

"Listen to people, you bastard!

！ ”
