The girls retaliated against Luffy, crushing him under them, and then going to pull his ears and cheeks.

"It hurts!" Luffy tried to struggle to get up, but they wouldn't let him.

Outside the window, the poodle combed its fallen wig, the showy fluff on its neck was missing, and its body was full of crocodile bite wounds, which was considered to be unusually strong if it was not removed.

After all, the bite force of a banana crocodile is a terrifying force that can clatter and eat a huge hard stone like a small biscuit.

The soldiers of the King's Army looked at the poodle with trembling eyes, at this moment it had shed its identity as a dog and transformed into a real lion, a lion that could run rampant in the desert.

Snore~

The lion let out a low roar, raised its front paws and kicked a dead crocodile at will, it had a faint flame in its mouth, bit the crocodile's head with one bite, then shook its head, tore the crocodile's head off, and then ate the crocodile in two bites.

After a battle, it vaguely became proficient in its own strength, and without the master's command to manipulate, it attached high-temperature damage to its claws and teeth, a small trick that it mastered by itself.

The girls beat Luffy for a while and then let him go, so Luffy had time to check the poodle's injuries.

The tail was broken, the wig fell out very badly, the chest cavity collapsed, the nails were broken, and the whole body was covered with scars, which were no longer as glamorous as before departure.

"It's a qualified product." Luffy patted the lion's yellow feet bare.

It lowered its head and rubbed it towards Luffy, the part of its ribcage slowly recovering.

Luffy rubbed his eyes and looked at the collapsed piece of his chest in disbelief...... It's really in restoration.

It only takes a certain amount of time to wait.

Luffy touched it, and under the fine and supple fluff was a wooden structure, and at this moment, the bent and broken wood was beginning to recover and rebound.

This is the nature of living beings, not fatal injuries and broken limbs, which can be slowly recovered by time.

Even though it is made of mechanical parts, it seems to possess the power of a living being.

"It's incredible."

Luffy checked it out and returned to the convoy.

"How's Velvet?" Uta and Nami couldn't wait to ask.

"It eats whatever it wants...... Luffy muttered for a moment, and his tone was heavy.

Nami held her face and asked in horror, "It's completely broken?" ”

“…… A few days of rest will be automatic. ”

"You're done in one sitting, stupid!"

Nami, who realized that she had been tricked, punched Luffy in the face with a fist.

"I just wanted to make a joke......"

The convoy continued to set off, and Velvet, as a wounded warrior, received preferential treatment, and it was given a huge cloth for shading, which was a huge cloth for covering the dancing powder, because in the car, there was no need to cover the dancing powder, so it was covered with the velvet body to shade the sun.

"It's the first time I've commanded a pet battle, and that's how it feels ......," Nami and Nokigao said about this kind of thing.

"It feels good, but the Note Warriors don't need me to command ......," Uta said.

"Your battle is too chaotic, you should first work out a set of combos, and when you fight, you can make combos......" Luffy said.

"Got it~" Nami nodded, "I'll prepare next time, but isn't it because you're here, so I'm less prepared." ”

"That's it, Luffy, it's all right, if Velvet is in danger, I'll take action, but I didn't do it!" Uta went to pinch Luffy's cheek.

"I'm so sorry, but not next time......" Luffy said obediently to Uta.

She rubbed Luffy's cheek with satisfaction.

It took a few days to cross the desert and arrive in the port city, and as soon as he arrived, Luffy saw a group of pirates swaggering shopping on the streets, and the pirate flag fluttering on the dock.

"You load the cargo on the ship, I'm going to have some fun......"

"Will you leave these pirates to the King's Army?" Vivi saw these pirates and said naturally.

There were quite a few royal troops in the convoy, and they escorted the dancing fans and, at first, the Minister of Ikalem also contacted the ships at sea to pick them up, and during this time, the number of royal troops in the port city surged, and it was not a problem to deal with ordinary pirates.

"It's okay, I'll fix it in two minutes."

Luffy said.

"Hmm..."

Vivi nodded, and the King's Army began to dismantle the cargo and transport all the dancing powder to the ship.

Luffy swaggered behind the pirates and gently patted them on the shoulder.

"Uncle, what are you going to do on the island as pirates?"

"Of course it's consumption, you little ghost, get out of the way."

The pirate glanced at Luffy and impatiently distracted his hand.

"How much is the bounty?" Luffy asked.

"Hey, hey, the boss of our family is a sea pirate with a bounty of 40 million Bailey, little ghost, you don't want to join our pirates, right?"

"We pirates don't need a little imp like you."

A pirate came over with his shoulder hook and said to Luffy with a grin.

"Forty-five Bailey......" Luffy glanced at the pirate flag, not impressed.

"It's amazing~"

"What are you doing here in Alabastan, we have the dual blessing of the Seven Martial Seas and the Navy here." Luffy asked curiously.

"It's none of your business, don't ask too much, little kid."

"Wait...... Kid, you're from Alabastan, aren't you? Ever heard that there are amazing animals on this nearby island? ”

The pirate looked at Luffy, suddenly thought of something, patted him on the shoulder and asked.

"This neighborhood is full of magical beasts, giant sea cats, camels that understand human speech, birds that cheat people's luggage......" Luffy counted with his fingers.

"I don't want normal animals, but magical creatures that can talk!" The pirate said irritably.

"Haven't heard of it, are you looking for...... Animal-based Devil Fruit Ability? ”

Luffy asked.

"Animal-based abilities... No, no, we're looking for talking animals in an island with great treasures. ”

The pirate pulls out a yellowed treasure map and points out the crown-like island to Luffy.

"Have you ever seen an island like this? Just near Alabastan. ”

"Crown Island...... Haven't seen it, is there a treasure on it? ”

"I'll ask my navigator later, she'll be interested in this." Luffy took the treasure map and looked at it carefully, but he never looked at the map or chart, so he couldn't recognize if it was a nearby island.

"Is it really okay to find treasure on the Great Passage and rely on drawings to find it? Need a pointer, right? ”

"We're not the pirates who challenge illusory dreams, it's enough to grab things casually and live a life in style." The pirate reached for the treasure map in Luffy's hand.

But Luffy shook his body and dodged the pirates' attack, still holding the treasure map to carefully observe the information on it.

"You don't have a dream, do you?" Luffy said regretfully.

Most people are three-minute hot, intermittently motivated, and constantly rotten.

Roger's words before his death caused the people to rush to the sea and become pirates.

But...... There are still many hurdles to overcome before you can become a pirate.

Have a high-quality ship, a navigator who is well-versed in the sea climate, a force against sea beasts, and a ship doctor who can save people......

This series of requirements is enough to dampen the enthusiasm of most pirates, and there are countless pirates who have lost their dreams of becoming salted fish.

"Give me back the drawings!"

The pirates snatched the treasure map from Luffy's hand.

"I can't see it, you know a lot about life at sea, and you even know the pointers."

They pulled out the broadsword hanging from their waists and said words of approval to Luffy.

"It's okay, after all, I'm catching pirates."

"Hahahaha, what about you when you're in the navy?"

The pirates looked at each other and laughed wickedly.

"I'm sorry, everyone who sees the treasure map has to sink to the bottom of the sea!"

The sharp knife slashed at Luffy's neck, fast and accurate, and swung down diagonally, and with a clang, the blade broke and fell to the ground.

Luffy looked at the blade on the ground and twisted his neck.

"Sinking into the sea? Nice way to die. ”

Luffy slowly lifted his feet and straightened them up to one hundred and eighty degrees, posing like a straight horse.

Finally, before the pirates could react, their eyes went dark.

Luffy kicked the group of pirates into the air and smashed them into the pirate ship in the dock, directly smashing a hole in the side of the ship.

The treasure map floated in the air and slowly fell.

"Pick up this thing to make Uta and Nami happy, right?"

Luffy reached out and grabbed the treasure map. Go find Nami.

There were all sorts of shouts and screams from the pirate ship, which finally turned into a cry of consternation: "The ship is sinking!!"

In the hole in the side of the ship, cracks continued to spread to the keel, and finally it was overwhelmed and unable to maintain the hull.

With a click, the pirate ship sank to the bottom of the sea.

There are a few pirates who are good at water and float on the surface of the sea.

Just as they were about to go ashore, they saw that the king's army on the shore had already aimed their rifles at them.

The pirate simply raised his hands high.

……

"Nami, Uta, I got the treasure map of the pirates~"

"Really, show me!"

Uta was intrigued by the treasure map, and Nami's eyes subconsciously catapulted into the shape of Bailey, and then came over.

"When you think of sailing, you think of treasures, and it is said that pirates will hide the looted treasures in an island~" Nami said in a chamo.

"Depending on the situation, third-rate pirates who live without a fixed place do not have a fixed base, and they often find a place to spend the money when they rob it, but the pirates will have the habit of saving."

Uta looked at the treasure trove and said with some money fans.

"Shanks should have a lot of treasures now~" Uta made a hehehe-hey sound.

"Does Uta still want to rob Shanks' treasure?" Luffy was shocked.

"What are you talking about, I'm just going to ask Shanks for a birthday present!" Uta corrected.

"Moreover, when it comes to treasures, sure enough, the most tempting thing is the treasure of Captain John, the sea thief, and the green peppers of the country of flowers are also good, it is said that he hid the treasure in an iceberg and sealed it, and then he couldn't take it out."

"Crown Island~" Nami looked at the information on the treasure map.

"It's said to be near Alabastan." Luffy said about the information the pirates got.

"Let's look for it later, and meet up with Dusty first." Nami put away the treasure map and prepared to sail.

The men of the king's army left the ship on order, and what they had to do after that, the less people knew, the better.

"Your Royal Highness Princess, can you control this large four-masted ship with just these few people?" The people of the King's army were still a little worried.

"It's okay, isn't there a navy on board?" Vivi lied.

Not a beast-powered ship, but a normal sail battleship ship.

Moo's ship, Dusty and they've already sailed away.

"Please help take care of the velvet." Vivi asked.

The poodle was beaten by a crocodile and had a blue nose and swollen face, so he had to recuperate for a while.

"This is a normal sea ship, and using sea beasts to pull a boat is a deviation behavior." Uta said, looking at the sails.

"Ready, just a few of us to control this large sailing ship!" Nami stood at the bow of the ship, grasping the rudder.

"Luffy, Nokigao pull the anchor up, Uta, Vivi, get ready to pull down the sails!"

Nami consciously began to direct them to do things.

After using beast-powered ships for a long time, they have long forgotten the normal ship's maneuvering process.

Na aesthetics is navigation, so it's still clear.

"Yes, Captain Nami!" Uta saluted and said with a grin.

"What nonsense, I'm the captain!" Luffy stood on the side of the ship, pulling the heavy anchor with his bare hands.

This ship is of the merchant type, it is a cargo ship with cargo, four masts, the anchor is extremely heavy, the iron chain is much thicker than the telephone pole, and it is also a heavy thing in tons.

The ship is double-anchored, and Nokigao also pulls the anchor on the other side, and puts away the huge anchor at the same time as Luffy.

Nami unfurls her sails with Uta and Vivi, and the ship begins to pick up the wind and becomes turbulent.

Nami took the helm and kept the ship running smoothly.

Although it is a large ship, it is not difficult to be in front of several soldiers from the Navy Headquarters.

It's going to be a little harder, Luffy followed Nami's instructions, and he was busy before and after, but he really became a miscellaneous boatman, and Nami was the real captain.

"Nami, play with me for a while~" After making sure that the ship was completely normal, Luffy watched the huge wooden rudder deflect a little from time to time in Nami's hand, and became eager to play.

Such a large toy......

"That's for you, pay attention to the direction."

Nami was also a little tired, so she gave up her position.

After getting it, Luffy felt that the rudder was so heavy, although the style looked like a steering wheel, but it was much heavier.

Luffy touched the steering wheel for a while and got bored.

"Does any of you want to play this?" Luffy asked.

"It's boring." Notch glanced at the rudder, uninterested.

"I've been in school, it's boring." Uta yawned.

“……”

"It's so boring to drive this thing......" Luffy said helplessly.

At this moment, the speed of the ship suddenly increased, the sails were blown up, and the speed of the ship increased dramatically, and in terms of physical sensation, it was a full thirty knots!
