Pirates: Ninjas On The Straw Hats

The battle between Luffy and Laboon can be said to be a deadlock. Laboon's impact caused minimal damage to Luffy, and Luffy's attacks were difficult to cause effective damage.

When Xin returned to the Meili, he found that the two men who had been knocked unconscious had woken up and were preparing to take advantage of the chaos to escape.

"What are we going to do next Miss. Wednesday?"

"Anyway, let's go back and report to the boss first. The mission time limit has exceeded now."

"I just noticed that they are the newly added criminals with bounties on them some time ago, with a total of 100 million beli."

"Whether we kill him or bring him in, we can do anything to offset the punishment for failing our mission!"

"It sounds like you are not just simple fishing criminals."

"Eh!!"

"Those with unknown origins should lie down for now. I don't have time to deal with you now."

The letter landed in front of the two of them, and he opened his blood-red eyes again:

"Illusion Sharingan"

The supporting duo fainted again.

Xin also turned his attention to Luffy again. At this time, the battle was still in a stalemate, and neither side could do anything to the other.

When Laboon was about to hit again, Luffy stretched out his hand to stop:

"We're tied!"

He stood up and put on his straw hat with a smile on his face:

"I'm strong, right?"

"You want to beat me, right?"

"We haven't decided yet, so we have to keep fighting."

"Although your companion is dead, I will always be your opponent!"

Everyone who heard this also understood what Luffy meant. Even Laboon could understand what Luffy meant. Although it was a crude excuse, Luffy gave Laboon a new agreement:

"We have made an appointment. I will sail around the world for a week and come back here again. Then we will decide the winner!"

...

"This is my agreement to fight with you! Before we come back here, you must not knock off that mark!"

Luffy was covered in paint and nodded with satisfaction.

Xin couldn't help but twitch at the corners of his eyes when he looked at the abstract Straw Hat skull logo, but this time it was for Laboon's good, and he barely resisted the desire to complain.

"Hey! Lunch is ready!"

Sanji greeted everyone to start dinner:

“To celebrate, we have rare elephant tuna this time!”

The elephant tuna bought in Logue town has been stored in the icehouse. To celebrate everyone's arrival at the Grand Line, Sanji finally got his hands on this rare ingredient.

While eating, Nami also asked Luffy a key question:

"Luffy, which route are we taking?"

"Huh? The one leading to Raftel!"

"Idiot, that's where the final point is. What I'm asking is where should we go to the next island?"

"Listen, unlike the previous sea areas, the magnetism in the Grand Line is chaotic, so the compass does not work."

"And if you want to confirm the direction, you can only rely on the recording pointer, which is a special pointer that can record magnetic force."

As he spoke, Nami waved his hand and gestured to the record pointer on his wrist:

"The islands in the Grand Line are connected through special magnetic rules. The recording pointer will record the current magnetic force and point to the next island that is magnetically connected."

"In other words, the route is fixed. We can only move forward by recording the pointer, and the only place where we can freely choose the route is here!"

"There are seven islands extending from Upside Down Mountain, symbolizing seven routes, so we have to decide which route to take, do you understand?"

Luffy pulled the trunk of the elephant tuna and nodded seriously:

"Yeah, let's take the Raftel one!!"

Boom! ! !

The captain who didn't listen carefully was punched by the navigator. Crocus on the side couldn't help but sigh:

"It's rare to see newcomers as well prepared as you."

"We have a logbook sent by a senior, so we know better."

Xin answered the call while eating ice cream. Fortunately, he had Boss Zhefu's logbook. Someone couldn't really break in without knowing anything, right?

"Nami, aren't the details of the island written in the logbook?"

"The only one that Boss Zhefu chose originally is called Barrow. It is an island full of wild beasts. Boss Zhefu found a lot of ingredients on it."

"Grandpa, do you know what the seven islands are?"

The letter puts its hope in Crocus, after all, he has been guarding here for fifty years.

The old man swallowed a mouthful of fish and nodded:

"Except for Barrow, which the little girl just mentioned, the other six islands are Crete, Totnia, Santoli, Whiskey Peak, Galeman and Berkner."

"Any recommendations?"

"Hmm... If I want to say it, it is definitely Santori. Santoli is known as the hot city, and the girls there are very unrestrained."

"Really!?"

Upon hearing this, Sanji immediately came over and his eyes turned pink.

"Hey Luffy, let's choose Santoli, we can reach Raftel in the end anyway!!"

He immediately turned around and wanted to instigate the captain, but Xin held him down with one hand:

"No, wait a minute."

While everyone was eating, Xin's Shadow Clone stayed in the cabin and was responsible for interrogating the supporting duo.

"Luffy!"

"What's the matter?"

"There's probably a party waiting for us at Whiskey Peak."

"Really!?"

"But after the party we have to fight with someone else!"

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is a party!!"

"Yoshi, let's go to Whiskey Peak!!"

In a few words, Luffy decided on the course. Everyone looked at it with black lines on their heads. Zoro frowned and looked over:

"Are they the two people just now?"

Xin nodded in affirmation and told everyone the news he learned from the two of them:

"The two of them are not simple fishing criminals, but senior agents of the Baroque Working Society."

"Baroque Works?"

"Yes, that man has a very strict mouth, but the woman is surprisingly easy to talk to. After I threatened her a little bit, she took the initiative to say a lot."

"You bastard wouldn't have done anything outrageous to that beautiful lady, would you!?"

"Don't interrupt, in short, Whiskey Peak is the outpost of the Baroque Work Society, and its target is the newcomers who have just entered the Grand Line."

"There are hundreds of bounty hunters on the island, and I also found out their coping methods."

"They will first pretend to welcome the pirates, hold a grand banquet, and kill the pirates when they relax their vigilance."

"We don't know which route to choose anyway. Why not go to the free banquet?"

Luffy nodded fiercely, it didn't matter which course he chose.

Crocus is a bit doubtful. The newcomers who came here before, as long as they know some information, are extremely cautious in choosing routes:

"Is this really good? I chose Whiskey Peak just for a simple banquet."

"It doesn't matter. If you're not satisfied, just go around again."

"That's it."

Crocus smiled and looked at Luffy who jumped onto the boat, as if he was seeing the former captain.

“Everyone, let’s sail!!”

"Idiot, please repair the mast!!"

The mast that was broken by Luffy was briefly repaired by Usopp, but it still needs to be reinforced.

Nami also moved the deck chair to somewhere and started recording the magnetic force pointing towards Whiskey Peak.

Zoro started to fall asleep after eating, and Xin was pestering Sanji to make more desserts.

"You have already eaten eight portions today!! Miss Nami's portion was taken away by you just now!! Don't even think about eating anything with sugar today, you sweet-toothed hedgehog who is rude to ladies!!!"

"So stingy~"
