In just a few years, Kokoro has lost her youthful beauty. Not only has she gained weight, but her face has also lost its youthful collagen, making her look much older.

This is not unbelievable.

Female mermaids develop two legs from their tail fins after reaching adulthood, enabling them to move on land. However, once they reach the age of 30, they age rapidly.

Generally speaking, mermaids do not live to be 70 years old.

Fortunately, the former train attendant has now been promoted to stationmaster of Sif Station due to the expansion of Carrera Company and Kokoro's own hard work. She also helps her poor relatives back in Fishman Island. All the train attendants are young and beautiful women from the Mermaid tribe.

This also meant that once Sanji boarded the sea train, his eyes never stopped lingering on the various beautiful crew members, which made Nami secretly roll her eyes.

"Sanji, look at you! You're just a mermaid, why are you acting like this?"

"Miss Nami, you don't understand!"

Sanji cupped his cheeks in his hands, his eyes sparkling with hearts, and said affectionately:

"Mermaids are a gift from God to gentlemen. Look at their figures, they have no excess fat and are full of streamlined curves. They are simply God's perfect creation."

Upon hearing this, Roronoa Zoro stared intently at the flight attendant in front of him, scrutinizing him from head to toe, which even sent a chill down the flight attendant's spine. The flight attendant nodded in approval and said:

"These mermaids have very distinctive scales. If they were in the ocean, I might not be able to kill them with this one strike. Their scales would take away a lot of my strength."

"Green algae head, what's going on in your head? You actually want to kill these pretty young ladies?"

"Women will only slow me down the speed at which I draw my sword!"

"Damn it, today I will act on behalf of Heaven to uphold justice!"

"If you want to try, then come on, you lecherous cook!"

Seeing that Roronoa, Zoro, and Sanji had another episode and were practically exchanging insults face to face, Nami sighed, covered her fists with Armament Haki, and delivered a powerful punch.

"Bang!" "Bang!"

A man who aspired to become the world's greatest swordsman and a chef who prided himself on being a bodyguard for beautiful women, both lay on the ground with several meat buns on their heads and their faces covered in blood.

"hiss!"

A cute-looking reindeer gasped, hid behind Luffy, and let out a scream:

"Na-Mei is terrifying!"

"Captain, both of them are covered in blood, are they going to die?"

The innocent Chopper stared at the horrific scene before him, his mouth twitching violently, realizing he'd really been tricked.

Despite Nami's usual cowardly and timid demeanor, always leaving Luffy and the others to handle things and Chopper to do chores when there's nothing to do, she always manages to display terrifying strength that surpasses that of the main force in everyday matters.

Is this woman a devil in human skin?

Standing to the side, Nico Robin, now also an undercover agent, rested her chin on her hand, watching the group's playful antics with a smile, thinking to herself:

"Oh my, I never expected Nami to have such a violent side."

When we're in a good mood, we tend to overlook how quickly time flies by.

"Waaaaah! Waaaaah! Waaaaah..."

The sea train sped along the tracks laid on the sea, billowing thick smoke from its long exhaust pipe, and a piercing whistle sounded from the engine. As the sea train slowly pulled into the station, the doors opened again, and tourists filed out.

When Luffy and his crew set foot in Water Seven, everyone was stunned.

They had never seen such a prosperous and thriving city!

The main road, which has been expanded several times, can now accommodate eight horse-drawn carriages traveling side by side. It is a bustling thoroughfare with a constant flow of people.

Shops of various styles line both sides of the road, and merchants are working hard to sell their goods to passing tourists.

"Don't miss out! Swordfish sashimi from Beihai is 20% off today!"

"Come and try the first milk tea of ​​autumn!"

"For the best shipbuilding skills, look no further than Bai Xiang in the City of Seven Waters! Bai Xiang Advanced Technical School offers a one-month trial period with no fees!"

"Drinking baijiu gives me energy!"

"If you're worried about getting a sore throat, eat some meat that's moist and juicy!"

"No gifts this holiday season, but if you still want to give gifts, you'll still have to..."

On the commercial street, the cries of vendors from all walks of life rose and fell.

Luffy and his crew were like country bumpkins visiting the Grand View Garden, finding everything new and exciting.

Before this, they had visited other island cities, but none of them had ever been as vibrant as Seven Waters City. The people there had rosy cheeks, no signs of malnutrition, and their eyes shone with hope for the future. This was in stark contrast to the pale and listless people in other places.

These ordinary people didn't seem to worry about pirate attacks or exploitation by nobles. Everyone had food and clothing, and even their children had access to education. Even if they couldn't afford the expensive noble schools, there were free vocational schools for workers to learn.

God!

Ordinary people can afford to go to school?

This feels like living in a dream!

It's no wonder Luffy and his crew were so surprised. It's not easy for ordinary people to live on this sea, let alone save up money to go to school. Moreover, noble schools are not open to the public and only admit the descendants of nobles.

This alone has stifled countless people and nipped numerous geniuses in the bud.

On the streets, you can often see children with crossbody bags slung over their shoulders running around, waving newspapers in their hands.

"Extra number! Extra number!"

"Breaking news! The Navy has decided to publicly execute Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates!"

"Marshal Shura declared that the Navy will not tolerate any injustice and will never condone any criminal!"

"The Navy is about to engage in full-scale war with the Whitebeard Pirates!"

Chapter 331 Human dreams will never end!

The Grand Line, Water Seven.

On the wide road, a variety of horse-drawn carriages shuttle back and forth, like a colorful river flowing by. Shops line both sides of the street, and each carefully arranged shop window is like a beautiful painting exhibition presented to people.

The streets were bustling with people, shoulder to shoulder, with various shouts of vendors and the sounds of bargaining intertwined, adding to the lively atmosphere of this metropolis.

A giant hot air balloon floated above Water Seven, bearing a photograph of the mayor, Iceberg, who was also a director of the Carrera Corporation, along with his advertising slogan for the company:

"My name is Iceberg, and I speak for myself."

The shop window reflected Luffy and his crew's figures, and the noise and commotion outside could not disturb Luffy's mood at this moment.

But then, Luffy was seen gripping a newly published newspaper tightly in both hands, with prominent veins bulging on the back of his hands. His eyes were wide open like a bull's, his chest heaving violently, and his breathing becoming increasingly rapid. He stared at the news published in the newspaper with an incredulous expression.

The Navy has decided to publicly execute Ace, the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

This line of large characters seemed to possess a magical power, captivating Luffy's entire attention.

Noticing Luffy's unusual behavior, Roronoa Zoro raised an eyebrow.

"Luffy, what's wrong?"

Roronoa Zoro was arguably the first crew member to follow Luffy and the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. He is probably the one who knows Luffy's personality best.

In his memory, even if Luffy faced being taken to the guillotine and beheaded, Luffy could remain calm and composed, and even have the mood to laugh out loud.

Right now, Luffy is like a volcano that has been building up, with his negative emotions so intense that they are almost overflowing from his body.

"Ace...he's my brother!"

Luffy practically spat out those words through clenched teeth, and anyone could hear the turmoil in his heart.

"what?"

"Isn't Luffy's older brother Fleet Admiral Shura? How come he has an older brother who's a member of the Whitebeard Pirates?"

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

"Your family is quite extraordinary. One of your brothers became the Fleet Admiral of the Marine Headquarters, and the other became a member of the Whitebeard Pirates."

"Wait a minute, could this decision by the Navy have been issued by Fleet Admiral Shura? Does that mean Luffy's two brothers will kill each other?"

"hiss!"

In that instant, Roronoa Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper all gasped in shock.

Your circle is really messy!

Of course, they couldn't say such things, but the expressions on their faces betrayed their inner thoughts.

"I...I don't know...why things turned out this way..."

Luffy pursed his lips tightly, his shoulders trembling slightly.

Whether it's Yang Ming or Ace, they are the people he cherishes most.

What puzzled Luffy even more was what role his grandfather Garp played in this incident.

Could it be that Grandpa Garp is just going to sit idly by and watch Ace be executed?

"The public execution is still almost a year away."

Luffy suddenly raised his head, his eyes flashing with anger, and said firmly:

"No matter what Brother Yang Ming wants to do, I will not allow Ace to be harmed in the slightest."

"I've made up my mind, I'm going to break into the Deep Sea Prison!" (Shula)

“Nani???”

Upon hearing this, Usopp and Chopper grabbed Luffy's arms on either side, tearfully pleading with him to stop.

"Luffy, wake up! Stop daydreaming!"

"Ever since Fire Fist Ace's successful prison break, the defenses of Impel Down have increased many times over. If we try to break in now, it will be like going through fire and water, a near-certain death!"

However, Luffy's personality is exactly like Garp's; both of them are stubborn and unyielding once they make a decision.

Despite Usopp and Chopper's tearful pleas, Luffy remained unmoved.

"Luffy, don't let anger cloud your vision. Come and take a look at this." Nami brushed a strand of hair behind her ear, opened another newspaper, and said, "This sea is about to get lively."

Upon hearing this, everyone turned to look.

Shocking Secret! The Whitebeard Pirates and the Bigo Pirates have been in frequent contact lately, and the two Emperors of the Sea intend to form an alliance!
