One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 160 Three against six, the advantage is mine!

GR No. 52.

On the bow deck of the Shura, in the open-air kendo dojo on the second floor.

Xia Nuo, who had just taken a shower and was sitting under a parasol, held an orange soda in one hand and casually spread her other palm out.

He watched with great interest as a bubble the size of a football burst open in his hand with a "pop".

"What an interesting place!"

Xia Nuo looked up and gazed into the distance.

As the sea breeze blows, countless soap bubbles float around the giant mangroves, rising and bursting gracefully, refracting iridescent light in the sunlight.

A faint, refreshing scent of resin permeated the air.

"We're almost at the shore."

Nami, leaning on the railing, looked towards the ship's helm and said with a grin, "Hey, Smoker, hurry up and give me some information about this island."

"what?"

Smoker, who was at the helm, turned around upon hearing this, looking puzzled: "Shouldn't you be asking Robin about this? Why are you asking me?"

"You make it sound like I'm all-knowing and all-powerful. I haven't investigated this island either," Robin said, shaking his head in exasperation.

"Well, so you can do it," Nami said. "This place is very close to Marine Headquarters. You must have been here before when you were still at Headquarters, right?"

"I did pass through this area once when I was still in training camp."

Smoker exhaled a smoke ring, frowning as he recalled, "But we didn't stay long. Professor Zeff only mentioned it briefly during the resupply, so I don't know the specific details."

"If I were to roughly divide the island into zones, zones 1 to 29 are illegal areas, where all sorts of shady gray industries gather. Zones 30 to 49 are tourist and commercial areas, with good public security, and are the most prosperous and bustling."

"Numbers 50 to 59 are where shipyards and coating craftsmen gather, while numbers 60 to 79 are mainly civilian residential areas, where the Navy's branch bases and several small departments of the World Government are also located."

"Huh? We need to dock at number 52."

Nami immediately checked the number on the giant tree and was pleasantly surprised:
"What a coincidence! Does that mean we can get the coating done right here after we dock, without having to go through the trouble of finding coating craftsmen everywhere?"

"is it possible……"

Smoker was speechless, then pointed to his head. "I realized this a long time ago, and as the helmsman, that's why I specifically chose this place to land?"

"..."

Nami then realized what was happening, and her face flushed red with embarrassment and anger, causing everyone to burst into laughter.

"This silly child, how come her IQ is becoming more and more like Ah Yin's?" Xia Nuo chuckled and rubbed her head.

He stood up and walked to the railing, looking down at the opposite bank. Suddenly, as if noticing something, he raised an eyebrow slightly.

"There seem to be quite a lot of people here..."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

The dock was bustling with people.

The speed at which the news spread was terrifying; people noticed it as soon as the Fallen Star appeared in the waters outside the Sabaody Archipelago.

As a result, more and more people gathered over here, standing on tiptoe and craning their necks.

Just so I could witness with my own eyes the pirate crew that had dominated the Grand Line for the past six months, yet had remained silent for two whole months after Shano's death.

now.

As the ship drew closer and was about to dock, gasps of surprise erupted from the crowd.

"I'm coming!"

"Black ship, white sails, white flags... Hey, it really is the Curtain Call!"

"Nonsense! Even if that man is dead, his subordinates are still very powerful. How could they just disband like the rumors say? I knew it!"

at this time.

"Get out of my way! All of you, get out of my way!"

A loud shout rang out from behind the crowd. The onlookers instinctively turned around and saw a large group of menacing pirates pressing in. They all looked fierce and were clearly not to be trifled with.

The leader of this large group of pirates gathered in the middle was a fish-man who was over three meters tall.

He was muscular, with long green hair, and wore a military cap with two horns. His gaze was languid, yet carried a hint of condescension, as if he were a man accustomed to looking down on others.

Wherever it passed, the crowd retreated in terror, parting like a tide to make way for it.

"It's Sasaki, the strongest swordsman of the new generation!"

Someone couldn't suppress the awe in their voice, "That supernova with a huge fleet under his command and a bounty of 170 million Berries!"

"He actually came in person?"

Another person swallowed hard. "Could this guy be plotting something against the Fallen Pirates?"

It's very possible...

After all, the reputation of the Fallen Pirates was at a standstill in the first half of the series, but their numbers never really expanded; they were quite few, even pitifully small.

Captain Shano died two months ago in an attack by the Four Emperors and the Navy Admirals.

Without a leader, the group is in turmoil.

This was when the Fallen Pirates were at their weakest.

If someone could wipe out this pirate crew before the Navy could act...

Without a doubt, his bounty and fame will skyrocket again, making him the undisputed most dazzling star among this generation of supernovas.

At the same time, they can also absorb the strong members of the remnants into their own pirate crew, greatly increasing their strength and giving them more confidence to venture into the New World.

From any perspective, it is an extremely tempting and highly sought-after commodity.

just.

This seemingly delicious treat is actually quite difficult to eat.

Sasaki's pirate crew is indeed large, but in terms of high-level combat power, relying solely on one Supernova...

Are they qualified to eat it?
"Excuse me, could you please move aside? Thank you."

Just then, a commotion suddenly broke out on the other side of the dock.

The crowd parted in panic again, and this time, a group of conspicuous fur warriors came forward.

Leading the group was Pedro, the captain of the Knox Pirates, who resembled a jaguar, followed closely by Pekoms, who resembled a lion.

"I rushed over as soon as I heard the news, but Sasaki arrived even earlier."

Pokomus pushed up his sunglasses. "Brother Pedro, we can't let them eat all by themselves, haha!"

"You've got it wrong, Pokemus."

Pedro was taken aback, then turned and glared at him irritably. "We're just here to watch the show and see what those guys are like. When did it become that we're going to swallow up the Fallen Pirates? We don't need that kind of fame. You've been wanted for so long, do you really think you're a pirate now?"

“That seems to make sense.” Pokoms scratched his head.

Their current bounty alone is already causing a lot of trouble.

The reason they left Zou and wandered around was simply to help Nekomamushi collect information about the Poneglyphs.

"They're the idiots of the Mink Tribe."

Sasaki glanced over sideways, his brow furrowing.
"Is that all there is to you? You're not worthy of your reputation at all. These few fluffy little guys, who look like kittens and puppies, have a higher bounty than me. It's really infuriating."

"sorry!"

A polar bear immediately lowered its head in shame and stammered, "I'm so sorry, if possible, I'd like to give you all of my bounty..." "No need to apologize to them, Jebo!" Pekoms slapped it and roared with sharp teeth, "When are you going to get rid of this bad habit of yours!"

“That’s right, Jebo, be tougher.”

Pedro laughed and patted it on the shoulder before turning to look at Sasaki:

"Hey, I'm telling you, you're really arrogant. Having more subordinates isn't always better, is it? Do you really think you can take down the Fallen Pirates with these lousy fish?"

"idiot."

Sasaki chuckled, casually unfastened a beer bottle from his waist, and started chugging it down.

"Just because you're stupid doesn't mean I'm as stupid as you. Defeat the entire Fallen Pirates? I may have ambitions, but I'm not so arrogant and ignorant as to be that kind of person!"

"So you've come here?" Pedro frowned.

"Of course we're here for that female swordsman."

Sasaki grinned. "You've heard of her, right? The one with a higher bounty than you and me, named Kuina or something. I was already being called the strongest swordsman of the new generation, but then suddenly news came out that this woman is still alive. The title of strongest swordsman is now in doubt again. How can I enter the new world in peace, you bastard!"

Swish!
He drew his sword, the blade pointing directly at the approaching ship, and grinned, "You've come at just the right time. You're fortunate enough to witness me defeat that female swordsman. From today onward, the whole world will know who the true strongest swordsman of the new era is!"

"Wow, that's quite a bold statement."

A flippant voice suddenly came from above. Everyone subconsciously looked up and saw a handsome young man sitting on the roof, swinging his legs with a smile.

He was very short, and looked no more than fifteen or sixteen years old. If it weren't for the broadsword he was playing with, which was almost as tall as him, he would probably be mistaken for a local child playing there.

"Aaaaaah, it's Lord Harta!!"

A female pirate, her eyes sparkling with hearts, screamed excitedly, "The youngest Supernova! The most handsome Supernova! Lord Harta, I'm your biggest fan!"

"Really? Haha, I'm so happy to hear that, thank you!"

The young swordsman winked at her mischievously, and just as the female pirate was about to faint from happiness, clutching her heart, she suddenly flipped over, landed lightly, and arrived at the front of the dock.

Although he was short and alone, neither Pedro nor Sasaki dared to underestimate him.

—This guy, according to rumors, recently emerged from the Devil's Triangle and fought against "Gecko" Moria, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, to a near draw.

The Navy Headquarters is currently verifying the authenticity of this news.

If nothing unexpected happens, the opponent's bounty will soon skyrocket, making him the highest-ranking supernova in this generation.

"Are you a pure swordsman too?"

Sasaki's face darkened. "Did he suddenly jump out with the same goal as me, to seize the title of the strongest swordsman?"

"Don't misunderstand..."

Harta chuckled and yawned dismissively: "What dream of becoming the strongest swordsman of the new generation? Keep that to you. My ambitions are far greater than yours..."

"Ok?"

Sasaki and Pedro were both taken aback.

"As you all think, I'm here for this whole ship of people." Harta's voice was indifferent and calm. "You can have that female swordswoman. As for the rest, I'll take them all. These guys barely qualify to be my first stepping stone to make a name for myself in the New World."

"...He's clearly short, but he's way more arrogant than me? It seems the rumors about him fighting Gecko Moria to a draw are true."

Sasaki narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint in them. "You're making me a little itchy, aren't you? Hey, if that's the case, why don't we just join forces? You're not really safe on your own..."

"Two people aren't stable enough, are they? What if I join them?"

A seductive laugh rang out, and a beautiful woman with a slender figure, draped in a purple feather cloak, strode over. "I'm about to return to my family. To secure a high-ranking ministerial position, I need to achieve more victories to make my mother happy..."

Charlotte Garrett!

The surrounding pirates gasped, "So this guy's here too... Big Mom's daughter!"

"One, two, three..." Someone counted and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "All five Supernovas are actually here?"

"However, only three people are willing to make a move."

Upon hearing this, Garette smiled gently and said, "How about it, you two leaders, the three of you joining forces to share the spoils of this battle?"

"..."

Sasaki and Harta frowned slightly and exchanged a glance.

"can."

"I agree."

Garrett looked pleased. "Very good. Now that an agreement has been reached, let's make some room for our guests... The ship seems to be docking soon."

Boom!
Almost the instant she finished speaking, the Fallen Curtain slowly came to a stop, and figures appeared at the bow, stepping ashore in full view of everyone.

Leading the way was a girl with a high ponytail and an expressionless face. She indifferently surveyed the crowd, and the pirates being watched felt a chill run down their spines, as if they had fallen into an ice cave.

"First Mate, 'Rain-Slaying Swordswoman' Kuina, bounty 2 million Berries!"

Someone swallowed hard and muttered, "What a terrifying aura. As expected, with such a powerful figure in charge, the pirate crew wouldn't have disbanded so easily..."

Behind her, several figures lined up and followed her ashore.

"Combatant, 'Fist of Winter' Nojiko, bounty 130 million Berries!"

"Shipwright, 'Rogue Hunter' Smoker, bounty 160 million Berries!"

"Chef, 'Redlegs' Zeff, bounty 1 million Berries!"

"Pet, 'Thunder Wolf' Agin, bounty: 150 million Berries!"

"Pet, 'Blazing White Dumpling' Mochi, bounty 1 million Berries!"

A resounding name, a terrifyingly high bounty...

As the figures stepped ashore and were recognized one by one, a terrifying and oppressive feeling immediately overwhelmed them.

Many people turned pale and subconsciously took a few steps back.

"Is this what the one who falls from grace is like...?"

Even Pedro looked grave, a bead of cold sweat trickling down his forehead.

So, just from the Fallen Pirates alone, there are already six Supernovas with bounties over 100 million, which exceeds the total number of Supernovas currently on the island!

What a terrifying lineup!

Luckily, I never intended to get involved...

He turned his head and looked at the three who had joined forces.

Sasaki, Halta, Garrett.

The three pirate captains were clearly a little uneasy at the sight of this entrance.

But after exchanging a glance, they quickly regained their composure, drew their weapons with cold smiles, and stepped forward to meet each other.

Three against six, it seems like they are still at a disadvantage in terms of numbers.

But all three of them felt that their bounty did not match their abilities.

Therefore, without a doubt, the advantage still lies with them!

"Hey! Kuina!"

Sasaki grinned and was the first to shout:
"Look over here! I've been waiting for you for ages! For the honor of a swordsman, come and fight! It's about time you handed over your title as the strongest swordsman to me!"

　Sorry for the lateness. I'll try to write more drafts over the weekend and add more updates.
