Chapter 21: The Chef Joins the Crew

East China Sea

This is not only the weakest sea in the four seas, but also the most 'peaceful' sea.

Not to mention lightning and thunder, wind, frost, rain and snow, even ordinary storms and waves are very rare. It is a sea of tranquility where many people dare to go out to sea in a small boat of a few meters, but today:

Boom Boom –

The waves are rough and the waves are rolling!

The huge amount of sea water rises and falls layer by layer, and just looking at the momentum of the ups and downs, there is an irresistible frenzy of violence. If you look down from above, with a displacement of thousands of tons, the three-story building 'Sea Restaurant Bharati' is like a leaf, floating and sinking in the turbulent sea, as if it could be capsized at any moment.

However, it is not the power of nature that has caused all this, but a giant beast.

"Hey, Zoro, think of a way!"

Even the large 'Sea Restaurant Bharati' struggled to stabilize itself in the wind and waves, let alone the smaller 'Black Cat'. Fortunately, Xiao Nami is worthy of being a natural navigator, driving this slender ship to shuttle left and right in the huge waves, quite a bit of his strong calmness.

But that's all there is to it, the Black Cat can't even get close to the battlefield, let alone affect the tide of battle.

"What can I do?"

Helplessly, Zoro looked at the giant monster not far away waving a dozen giant tentacles, like mountains; He looked at the 'He Dao Yi Text' in his hand again, although he was very confident in his swordsmanship, and the He Dao Yi Text was sharp enough, but it was not enough to see compared to the giant monster hundreds of meters on the opposite side.

Even if he joins the battlefield, are he going to give the other party a pedicure with the 'Harmony Text'?

The current Zoro can't even 'cut iron', let alone the sword hero's logo 'Flying Slash', even if this hundreds of meters tall super giant octopus stands still to cut Sauron, he may not be able to hurt the other party if he is tired.

Big is beautiful, big is strong!

Before mastering domineering, this is the truth of living beings.

Otherwise, the world would not be separated by a windless belt: even without the power of sails, a human rowing boat, a steam engine, or other power could propel a boat. But in the face of the super giant sea kings that are hundreds of thousands of kilometers away from the wind, who is willing to challenge those monsters except for the top powerhouses?

Boom boom boom ~~~

As the North Sea Giant Demon 'Kuraken' waved its tentacles like a high-rise building, the sea continued to blow up huge waves up to 100 meters high, and circles of giant ripples spread in all directions, turning the entire battlefield into a pot of porridge.

And what is fighting the North Sea Monster is a flash of thunder and lightning.

The Thunder Fruit is not only able to control thunder and lightning, but also has the skill of lightning acceleration: although Luffy doesn't look very smart, his talent for fighting is definitely the best in the world, and he completely instinctively spreads weak lightning throughout the battlefield, forming a thunder and lightning barrier that is imperceptible to the naked eye.

Relying on the attraction of positive and negative charges, he can move in this area at any high speed out of thin air, and the whole person turns into a winding blue-white lightning, following an intermittent and strange trajectory, shuttling around the giant octopus, a series of thunder lights flashing in the waving tentacles.

"Thunder Light Fist!"

During the high-speed movement, Luffy's fist with thunder and lightning light kept falling on the North Sea Monster, lightning and thunder, and each ray of light could blast the hard mountain rock out of a big hole, which could easily destroy the battleship. But—

'It's useless,'

Rossi's calm voice watching the battle fell into Luffy's ears,

'Although your fruit development is good, it is still a lot of heat to inflict fatal damage on this giant beast that is hundreds of thousands of meters in size. ’

If it was Anilu, he would naturally be able to roast this North Sea Monster to a point with one move of 'God's Sanction'. But Anilu is a strong man who has been developed for many years and has trained the Thunder Fruit to the extreme. And Luffy has eaten the Thunder Fruit for less than half a year, and his age is only in his teens, so he can't easily take down this North Sea Monster.

No, it's not just that you can't take this North Sea Monster.

If Luffy wants to go, with the maneuvering ability of the Thunder Fruit, the North Sea Giant Demon will naturally not be able to help him. But if Luffy continues to entangle, he must be the one who loses!

Because using the Devil Fruit requires physical strength, and Rosie clearly perceives that a large amount of seawater has been inhaled in the sucker of this North Sea Monster's tentacles, so he is ready to teach Luffy, a Devil Fruit ability, a good lesson.

Burst!!

Sure enough, just as Luffy's dazzling but damaging 'Thunderbolt Gua Sha' ended, in the gap of breathing, the flying huge tentacles suddenly turned to Luffy's direction at the same time, and the suckers of countless houses spit out:

A huge amount of sea water shot out, crisscrossing the water column that filled the space around Luffy, making it impossible for him to avoid it.

"Ahh Oops~~"

In the sound of surprise, Luffy's whole person was doused by a huge amount of seawater, and the thunder and lightning jumping on his body were extinguished on the spot.

Sea water is the nemesis of all abilities.

The 'Thunder Fruit' that Luffy ate was not a 'Frozen Fruit', and in the face of the North Sea Monster's sea attack, he naturally had no way to resist. Although it is theoretically possible to evaporate water with a strong enough thunderbolt, it is clear that Luffy has not developed enough.

Not to mention these advanced techniques of lightning teleportation and elementalization.

Woowoo woo –

Just when Luffy was drenched in the seawater, causing his physical strength to be suppressed and his whole person stagnant in the air, a giant tentacle like a skyscraper had already roared down, and the air was forcibly squeezed out by the tentacles, forming a circle of white air waves.

Don't look at the huge size of the North Sea Monster, but his agility is not low at all: the 'Xiao You' who hovered back near Fish-Man Island can even swing his tentacles at super high speed, which makes the already domineering Straw Hats amazed.

Rumble!!!

It's like a person slapping a mosquito, and the giant tentacles instantly crush Luffy down, and then slam into the sea.

The monstrous waves surged out on both sides, drowning Luffy's figure, as well as the exclamations of Zoro and Nami!

"Luffy?"

"Bastard—"

Biting the word Kazuchi in his mouth, Zoro leaped down for the first time, and the whole person fell into the sea in a standard diving position, and then threw off his arms and swam towards the battlefield.

However, the hundred-meter wave smashed by the tentacles of the North Sea Giant Demon spread out, pushing Zoro and the entire sea area to the periphery domineeringly, making Zoro in the sea angry but powerless.

It's too weak!

The teeth creaked at the hilt of the word and the word, and Zoro once again had a clear understanding of his weakness: if Hawkeye could trick him with one finger and he was an incredible human powerhouse, then the North Sea Monster in front of him was unapproachable by the aftermath of waving his tentacles, which was a display of the powerful creatures of nature.

"Zoro, don't be impulsive!"

Nami, who turned the rudder and tried to stabilize the Black Cat, shouted as she turned her head to look around:

"Teacher, are you there?"

"Hurry up and save Luffy, please!!"

···

You think I don't want to?

When Nami shouted anxiously, Rosie, who was hanging in the sky, almost couldn't help but roll her eyes.

He eats the 'Silent Fruit' and not the 'Puppet Fruit', the so-called 'possession' requires Luffy's consent to do so, and once Luffy refuses, Rosie can't forcibly control Luffy.

So:

'Luffy, what the hell are you thinking?' ’

Luffy, who was crushed into the sea by the giant tentacles, rolled his eyes and opened his mouth wide and sank, heard Rossi's voice in his ears.

'If you die like this, I'm a teacher... Forget it, it's your choice. ’

Rosie, who complained to Luffy domineeringly through seeing and hearing it, sighed, it was not that he was sorry that the Thunder Fruit would 'drift', but that it was a pity for Luffy: after more than a year of teaching, Rosie still likes Luffy, a boy who is consistent on the outside.

'I...

'I'm going to wait for the ship's chef to come... Save me! ’

At this time, on Luffy, who was already unconscious, a faint voice was captured by Rosie's domineering sighting.

This is Luffy's talent for 'listening to everything', not only being able to hear the inner voice of any living being, but even passing on his realization to others, which is why Rosie was able to communicate with him.

'Well, it looks like you're right. ’

————

In the rough waves,

Zoro is still trying to get closer to the battlefield.

"Luffy! You're not the man who died here—"

As Sauron tried to swim forward, a black figure sped past him.

?!

That's right, it's 'Flying Spur'.

Wearing a black combat uniform, a big '66' on his chest, a pure black cloak with a '3' on his shoulders, a skull belt around his waist, a red scarf around his neck, and a black mask covering the lower half of his face, the teenager sped across the sea, like a black arrow shooting to the place where Luffy was blasted into the sea, and then plunged directly into the sea.

Hugh –

A series of bubbles dragged a long trajectory in the sea, and Sanji, who was wearing a black combat suit, approached Luffy like a swordfish and hugged him.

The high-tech jet boots under his feet spewed a large amount of gas backwards, propelling Sanji like a nimble torpedo through the sea, cutting through a winding arc, taking Luffy to dodge the dancing giant tentacles, and flying out of the sea on the other side with a thud.

"Hey, are you alright?"

As Sanji rescued Luffy from the sea, a slight electric current flashed in Luffy's chest, who was still rolling his eyes just now, and then he coughed reluctantly.

"Ahem, ahem!! Poof, poof~~"

A large amount of seawater flowed out of Luffy's mouth, and the fresh air rejuvenated him again.

"Hey... Hee-hee, I know, Shanzhi you... It is a hero who will step up at a critical moment. ”

?!

"Stupid, is this the time to talk about this?"

Being so trusted by Luffy, Sanji couldn't help but tilt his head. Although he rejected this combat uniform from the bottom of his heart and hated his own bloodline, when Luffy, who was fighting for them, was blasted into the sea, Sanji still didn't think about it, and immediately used this power, just to save this... Friend!

"I'm going to fight,"

This was originally a battle that belonged to the 'Sea Restaurant Bharati', but Luffy and the three of them stepped forward.

"No, it's me who has to fight!"

Wearing a combat suit, holding Luffy in the air and constantly making various maneuvers, Sanji, who was chasing away from the tentacles of the North Sea Monster, glanced at the 'Sea Restaurant Bharati' who was trying to stabilize the hull of the ship not far away, if he didn't fight, the old man Zhep, that guy Piedy, and Karne, and the others...

will all be destroyed by this giant octopus!

Call~~

Taking a deep breath, Sanji finally overcame the gloom of the past and decided to use his power to protect everything he cherished!

"Not bad,"

At this time, Luffy's left half of his face came with a calm and mature voice.

?!

"Luffy... Forget it, you know what I'm going to say. ”

Rosie, who was attached to Luffy's left, opened his mouth unhappily, while Luffy's right half of his face just grinned.

"I'm sorry, teacher."

Tsk, with Rossi's understanding of Luffy, his appearance is: I know it's wrong, but I won't change it.

"Forget it, let me do it."

In the arms of Sanji, a young man wearing a black combat uniform and a question mark on his face, Luffy stretched out his left hand, and a coin was clamped between his thumb and made a coin toss gesture.

"Well, I've wanted to try this trick for a long time."

In Rosie's muttering, Luffy flicked his left thumb and tossed the coin in his hand high.

And then:

cracking sound

The blue-white electricity was wrapped around Luffy's left arm, and under Rosie's subtle control, there was no need for a special coil, and the 'Thunder Fruit' formed a circle of electromagnetic tracks out of thin air, and the direction in which the track was aligned was naturally a huge North Sea Monster hidden under the mountain-like flesh and blood, with only a fist-sized brain.

"Farewell, North Sea Monster."

????

In an instant, the face of the giant octopus, which was as huge as a mountain, showed a humanized 'terrifying' expression, and the instinct of the creature made a thought sound in its mind:

Escape, escape!!

Puff –

However, it was too late, and a ray of light instantly swept across the entire battlefield.

The speed of this light is so fast that it has surpassed the terrifying point of ten times the speed of sound! Even a specially made coin instantly melted into a stream of metal particles, and then with terrifying kinetic energy, it instantly pierced through dozens of meters of gray-white thick flesh and blood, accurately penetrating and melting the fist-sized brain tissue!

The light flashed and sank into the head of the North Sea Monster, making it look as if the giant monster had been pricked by a needle.

In the path of this light, the air was severely distorted and deformed, turning into a trace that would not disappear for a long time! At the same time, you can see lightning snaking in the air, emitting the sound of electricity.

And in the eyes of this North Sea Giant Demon, which is as big as a house in terms of bounty and at least hundreds of millions, the rapid spread of the child hole and the light representing life are dim.

"That's it,"

Luffy's left half of his face calmly ended the battle.

Rubbing the electromagnetic cannon by hand, sure enough, it is still the thunder fruit that can do it.

????

Everyone on the entire battlefield watched this scene in amazement, including Luffy himself:

"My... The fruit ability is so strong? ”
