One Piece meme: Starting with eight extraordinary skills

Leo was so engrossed in listening that he didn't notice the scenery on the street, nor did he realize that he was about to bump into someone.

With a "bang," Leo was knocked off his feet and rolled several times on the ground.

Mansherry was taken aback and quickly helped Leo up, then bowed to the newcomer in apology:

"I'm sorry, Leo didn't mean it."

A slightly gruff voice came from above:

"Little humans?"

"If I gave you to my mother, she would be very happy, wouldn't she?"

Chapter 135 Please Give Me Some Face

Water Seven is a famous water city on the Grand Line. The city has 111 crisscrossing waterways, making it as complex as a water maze. If tourists from other places do not hire a local as a guide, they will get lost in the city in no time and never find their way back.

In this peculiar sea city, you can see romantic architecture, paintings, sculptures, and operas everywhere. It is also the only city on this sea without horse-drawn carriages. Only a kind of aquatic creature called Bru serves as a means of transportation, carrying pedestrians back and forth between the waterways.

The winding waterways, with their gurgling, clear waters.

A charming bard, and a hardworking water beast.

Lively and bustling – that’s the first impression of Seven Waters City.

Thanks to the tireless propaganda campaign by Bucky the Clown and Bellemere, many people now know that Captain John's treasure is buried in Water Seven. The number of unfamiliar faces coming from afar has increased significantly. Whether they are pirates, bounty hunters, or even human traffickers, they have all come here after hearing the news, making the city a mixed bag.

But when a man walked along the roadside on one side of the river, passersby subconsciously stopped and tacitly kept their distance from him, afraid of causing unnecessary trouble.

They watched indifferently as a male dwarf bumped into the man's boots, falling flat on his face, and couldn't help but show a hint of pity.

Why did they have to mess with this jinx?

"Little humans?"

"If I gave you to my mother, she would be very happy, wouldn't she?"

A large shadow fell over the poor couple, Mansherry and Leo. Sensing the other's malicious gaze, Leo instinctively shielded Mansherry behind him, raised his head, and pointed his gun at the newcomer.

When they saw each other's faces clearly, Mansherry and Leo's expressions froze instantly. A chill suddenly rose from the soles of their feet, spreading up their spines and into their brains. They immediately felt their hands and feet were ice-cold, and their whole bodies went numb!

The newcomer was burly, over three meters tall, with a broad and stout build. He had a long, pointed nose and a head of black hair casually tied up on top of his head, pierced by a wooden hairpin to form a strange bun, one on top and one below, resembling a candied hawthorn skewer.

The young man wore soft armor underneath a wool coat, a red and white striped scarf around his neck, and armor similar to that of a samurai on his arms, the fish-scale-like armor shimmering with a metallic sheen.

At this moment, the man was looking down at the two tiny humans who were as insignificant as ants.

Since the destruction of Lilliput, Mansherry and Leo have integrated into Dressrosa and naturally pay attention to the various forces on this sea, learning from various bounty posters which people and forces should not be provoked.

And the person in front of you happens to be one of the most difficult to mess with.

When it comes to the Charlotte family, they are known to everyone on this sea.

As one of the Emperors of the Sea, Big Mom Charlotte Linlin has a double-digit number of children, among whom the most humane are the Sweet Commanders.

The young man before them was Charlotte Snag, one of the four Sweet Commanders, the twenty-fifth son of the Charlotte family, and one of the thirty-four ministers, known as the Minister of Fried Food.

This man has a bounty of 6 million Berries; just hearing his name is enough to stop a child from crying.

Recognizing the person's identity, Leo was trembling with fear, but he still forced himself to stand up and said without turning his head:

"Mansherry, run! I'll hold them off here!"

With that, Leo fired a gun in one hand and took out a silver needle in the other. While using the gun to attract the opponent's attention, the silver needle shot out. At the same time, he used the Paramecia-type Sewing-Sewing Fruit ability to tightly sew Charlotte Snack's boots to the ground, intending to use this to block the opponent.

However, the gap between an ordinary Devil Fruit user and Charlotte Snag was simply too great, much like the gap between an unarmed ordinary person and a powerful Devil Fruit user, an insurmountable chasm between them.

Before Leo could feel smug, the bullet struck Charlotte Snag's face and bounced off.

"what?"

Leo was so shocked his jaw almost dropped to the ground, thinking to himself:

"Could it be that his skin is thicker than a city wall?"

Charlotte Snag ignored everything, tearing open the stitches with brute force, and strode over to Leo and Mansherry, who hadn't had time to escape. She bent down and grabbed them both in her palm.

As for the gun in Leo's hands, it naturally fell into Charlotte Snag's hands as well.

Charlotte Snag commented casually on this exquisitely crafted firearm:

"A very nice toy gun."

Upon hearing this, Leo was struck dumb, his face turning ashen with grief.

The dinosaur trade guild staff who were originally taking Leo and Mansherry to Carrera Company had secretly hidden in the crowd before the conflict broke out. They saw the two little people being taken away by Charlotte Snag and became anxious. They rushed to Carrera Company.

Although Carrera was a new company that had been established for less than half a year, it had a complete management structure and existing assets due to its predecessor being the Tom Shipbuilding Company. As soon as it was established, it expanded its business at an extremely fast pace.

There was a lot of activity coming and going within the company. Salespeople were preparing documents to discuss with clients, naval officers stationed near Water Seven were coming to discuss steamships, and job seekers from outside the company were submitting their resumes.

Inside a luxurious office within the company, Yang Ming was entertaining Bucky the Clown and the Belleme family, who had come from the East China Sea.

Bellemere's face was slightly thin, her long, deep red hair casually tied into a ponytail and cascading down her back, but her pale gray eyes revealed excitement. She was accompanied by two still-childish girls.

Nami and Noki, both high school sophomores, had grown up in Orange Town in the East Blue since childhood and had never been to a bustling metropolis like Water Seven before. Upon arriving at Yang Ming's office, they looked around in surprise.

"This place is so big!"

Noki looked longingly at the office. Although it was called an office, it was as big as two football fields and fully furnished. Through the glass wall, you could see the swimming pool next door. After a long day at work, you could even go for a swim to relieve your fatigue.

Nami's focus differed greatly from Nojiko's. Her gaze lingered on the golden ornaments displayed on the table, and she even lightly touched them with her finger. A strange light flickered in her beautiful eyes, and a thought involuntarily surfaced in her mind:

"If we packed up all the gold here and took it back, how much money could we get for it?"

For a moment, Nami was lost in her thoughts and didn't even notice someone had appeared behind her.

Suddenly, a calloused hand landed on Nami's head, interrupting her train of thought.

"Like it?"

"Hmm...Eh?"

Nami nodded subconsciously at first, then belatedly realized something was wrong and quickly turned around, only to see Yang Ming smiling at her.

It was like secretly eating Bellemere's apple pie, only to be caught red-handed. Nami panicked and quickly shook her head, denying it three times:

"I'm not! I didn't! Stop talking nonsense!"

Yang Ming could easily see that Nami was being stubborn, but her eyes were fixed on the gold watch on the table, betraying her true thoughts. Yang Ming was both annoyed and amused. He simply took the gold watch from the table, forcefully shoved it into Nami's hand, and laughed:

"Take it, consider it a reward for your hard work during this period."

Bellemere's expression changed slightly, and she hurriedly waved her hand, declining the offer:

"Chief, this is too expensive, we can't afford it."

"I don't have the habit of asking for gifts back after I've given them. If you feel uneasy, just work harder afterwards."

After Yang Ming invited everyone to sit down, Nami continued to play with her gold watch with obvious affection.

Bucky the Clown rubbed his hands together and chuckled:

"The leader's idea is really good. When we first started spreading rumors, it wasn't very effective, but after the leader gave us gold from the Sky Island and a replica of the Demon Sword Generation 1 Kitetsu, which we scattered to every corner of Water Seven, everyone outside became convinced that Captain John had a treasure."

"That's not enough!"

Yang Ming took out a piece of broken stone from his spatial ring, on which strange characters could be faintly seen.

The Bellemere family, lacking experience, failed to recognize what it was.

Bucky the Clown's expression suddenly changed, and he jumped to his feet.

"Historical text?"

"No! That's not right! The Poneglyphs cannot be destroyed; this is not the Poneglyph."

The Bellemere family was completely confused. Yang Ming handed a box of similar pebbles to Bucky the clown, which made his heart pound.

"This is certainly not the original historical text, but a copy I made by copying the original historical text, which contains incomplete information about ancient weapons."

Bucky the Clown was startled and trembling as he took the box of rubble.

He felt as if he had received not a pile of stones, but a pile of time bombs.

Just then, there was a sudden, urgent knocking on the door.

Kalifa, wearing high heels, stepped into the house and whispered something in Yang Ming's ear.

"It seems we have distinguished guests."

After listening to Kalifa's report, Yang Ming's expression turned cold.

"Kalifa, you stay here and greet the guests. I'll be right back."

With flashes of azure electric arcs beneath his feet, Yang Ming strode out of the Carrera company.

Pedestrians on the road only felt a gust of wind blowing in their faces, and in a daze they seemed to see a figure passing by, but when they came to their senses, they did not see a single figure.

Yang Ming rushed to the scene, where the two dwarfs had already disappeared.

With his Observation Haki fully activated, Yang Mingyue stepped through the air and quickly locked onto his target.

“Charlotte Snag, the two dwarves you hold are my employees. Please do me a favor and release them.”

Chapter 136 Fierce Battle Against the Four Generals

If you look down at the entire Seven Waters from above, this world-famous water city resembles a dolphin leaping on the sea, while the small islands surrounding the Seven Waters look like splashing waves.

The city has a land area of ​​less than 10 square kilometers, but it is composed of more than 200 ring-shaped islands, and 111 canals are crisscrossed like a spider web, connecting these fragmented islands.

The scenery along both sides of the river is breathtaking, with tall, pointed churches and bell towers everywhere. The women's convents are decorated in a low-key and understated manner, and palaces surrounded by white jade walls can be seen from time to time. Every weekend during worship, a nun in a black monastic robe would carry a basket of vegetables and go through the streets and alleys to distribute food to the homeless orphans. Kind-hearted people would even take them in at the convents.

The deity enshrined in the church is not a god familiar to the world, but Aqua Ragna, the so-called water god, who has been worshipped and venerated by the inhabitants of Water City for generations.

Thanks to the rich culture of the area, the longest street running through the Seven Waters City is named the Avenue of the Gods, which divides the city into north and south sections.

The northern part of Seven Waters City is home to a concentration of residential and commercial areas, where most local companies have their headquarters, making it the most densely populated area for economic and cultural exchange.

The southern part of Water Seven is mainly an industrial area, with docks of all sizes scattered throughout the region. Bare-chested shipwrights clang their tools or push carts to transport the hardware and planks needed for shipbuilding. Frank's Dismantlehouse is also located in this area. In a deserted corner of the area is Shipwreck Island, which is made up of hundreds of abandoned ships.

At this moment, a burly young man was carrying two little people along the Avenue of Gods, preparing to return to the pirate ship at the dock to properly imprison the two little people and prevent them from escaping.

Mansherry and Leo were away from home for the first time to work and earn money when they were forcibly abducted.
