Pirate: This Marine has two Rinnegan.

His ancestral red vest, like his hair, had been dyed white, and all his injuries had healed.

He was currently in his beast form, powered by the Nika Fruit. Entering this state, he became incredibly excited and couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahahahaha..."

Before Luffy could even finish laughing, a powerful punch came crashing down from the sky.

"Are you laughing at your mother?"

boom!

Luffy's head was so badly shrunk into his chest cavity, making him look terrifying.

Fortunately, the Nika Fruit's regenerative ability was strong enough that, after a lot of effort, he managed to "grow" his head back out with a "pop".

He looked at Qianhe with a look of horror, and the confidence he had just gained from the surge in power vanished in an instant.

Chika snorted coldly, and a milky white halo appeared on his fist. Then he punched Luffy in the stomach from a distance.

Click!

Dense, blue cracks spread out; the power of the tremor that Qianhe unleashed was not merely to shatter the atmosphere, but to directly shatter space itself.

The force generated by the spatial rupture almost tore Luffy's body apart. By the time Chiga stopped, Luffy was already sprawled on the ground like a lump of mud.

Chapter 404 The King's Addiction is Cured

Luffy collapsed to the ground, looking emaciated and clearly exhausted.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The heartbeat, like a drumbeat, started again, and Luffy's body began to swell up again, seemingly about to recover.

boom!

Without a second thought, Chiga punched Luffy squarely in the left chest, and Luffy's heartbeat stopped abruptly.

However, Chiga held back a little and didn't send Luffy away directly. This only made his heart stop for a few seconds, but it was enough to make the so-called "Liberation Drum" of the Nika Fruit ineffective.

Chiga looked down at Luffy and said calmly,

"The sit-up routine doesn't work on me."

After the Drum of Liberation dissipated, Luffy also exited Nikka form. He opened his eyes and saw Chiga's indifferent face.

He was so startled that he jumped up from the ground and shouted exaggeratedly.

"Thank you, Brother Qianqian!"

Ace and Sabo were both stunned for a moment; this was the Luffy they remembered.

Luffy stood still, staring at Chiga with wide eyes, looking quite like a primary school student who had made a mistake.

Chiga nodded. He roughly understood something. There must be someone else's will on the Gum-Gum Fruit, and this will has been subtly influencing Luffy, with an effect somewhat similar to Kotoamatsukami.

To be honest, Chiga had also wondered if Naruto was also influenced by Ashura's will. After all, it was a bit absurd that he hadn't turned evil despite being treated like that since childhood.

After being lectured by Chiga, Luffy's body could no longer support the force, and he temporarily reverted to his original "idiot" form.

Chiga walked up to Luffy, who, despite his usual carefree demeanor, didn't dare to even breathe loudly. There was no way around it; the impression Chiga had left on him was simply too profound.

Looking into Luffy's wise eyes, Chika crossed her arms and asked,

"What, now you know how to call me big brother? I thought you were trying to prove yourself earlier."

"Gulp... Brother Chiga, I don't know what happened either. I inexplicably started fighting with Ace and Sabo, and then I even attacked you. I'm sorry..."

Ace and Sabo walked over, supporting each other. Their eyes swept over Luffy, who suddenly felt like laughing when he saw his two older brothers, whom he had beaten into a beggar. But he didn't dare to laugh, so he could only purse his lips and try his best to suppress his laughter.

However, his reaction was worse than a laugh. Veins bulged on Ace and Sabo's foreheads, and they clenched their fists tightly. Ace even forced out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"Luffy...aren't you proud of beating us up like this?"

"No, no!"

"Damn it! Iron Fist of Love!"

"boom!"

Luffy spun out, and he was even weaker than Ace. After landing on the ground, he couldn't get up for a long time.

He clutched the bump on his head and yelled.

"Damn it! That's Grandpa's move! Why did he have to teach it to you?!"

Ace snorted, retracted his smoking fist, and said,

"I figured this out myself, and it's perfect for dealing with you!"

After saying that, Ace immediately performed a Sichuan opera face-changing act, looking at Chihiro with admiration and shouting,

"Brother Chiga! You're finally back!"

Chika smiled and patted his shoulder, saying,

"Long time no see, you've grown so much."

"hey-hey....."

Ace scratched his head and grinned sheepishly. Sabo, facing Chiga up close for the first time, appeared much more reserved than Ace. He bowed to Chiga and spoke respectfully.

"My name is Sabo, and I am currently a Rear Admiral!"

Chiga nodded and said,

"I know you, Long's most capable subordinate. You're quite good, much more composed than the other two."

Sabo was surprised to receive praise, and his face flushed with excitement after being told he was composed.

Ace, standing to the side, pursed his lips, actually jealous of Sabo.

Sabo didn't notice Ace's subtle expression. Remembering Luffy's unusual behavior, he quickly asked Chiga what was wrong.

"Wang, what's wrong with Luffy? He seems like a completely different person!"

Chiga glanced at Luffy lying there and said,

"It's nothing serious, just possessed by an evil spirit."

As she spoke, Chiga raised her hand and pulled Luffy towards her, then slapped him on the forehead and pulled him away forcefully.

A white, humanoid spirit was pulled out by Chiga, and Luffy cried out in terror.

"Is this my soul?! I'm doomed! I'm going to die!"

Ace quickly stepped forward, grabbed Luffy's face, pulled it long, and roared at Luffy.

"Idiot! Do you look like you're about to die?!"

Luffy's face was distorted by Ace's pulling, and he said blankly,

"Yeah, I think I'm fine..."

Chiga glanced at Luffy, her eyes looking at him like he was an idiot.

The captured spirit suddenly struggled, and facial features appeared on its white face. It stared at Qian He and spoke.

"You're in cahoots with the guys who helped Im back then; it's you who imprisoned this world!"

Luffy was startled and shouted,

"I remember now, it's that sound! It's been ringing in my ears!"

The spirit abruptly turned to look at Luffy and said,

"You are my successor. Restoring the kingdom and liberating the world is your duty! I am guiding you!"

"What are you talking about? Who are you?"

"I am Joy Boy! I am the king of this world!"

Upon hearing this, Ace was displeased and rebuked him.

"What nonsense are you spouting! Brother Chiga is the true King of the World!"

"He's just like Im, a despicable thief!"

"Damn it! I want to..."

Bang!

With a tremor of his hand, Qianhe caused Joy Boy's spirit to instantly transform into countless white specks of light, completely dissipating into the air.

He clapped his hands and said calmly,

"They're all dead, so let's just shut up as soon as possible."

As she spoke, Chiga glanced at Luffy, and upon being looked at by Chiga, Luffy immediately got up from the ground and stood at attention again.

"Hey, you want to become a pirate again?"

Luffy was taken aback. If it were before, he would have answered "yes" without hesitation, but now he found that he didn't seem to want to be a pirate as much anymore. In the end, he just wanted to go on an adventure at sea.

He hesitated for a moment, then, under Ace's surprised gaze, he spoke.

"I...I don't want to anymore!"

Hearing this, Chiga nodded in satisfaction, the arduous task of helping Luffy overcome his addiction to the King was now successfully completed.

Chapter 405 Phantom Cat Nami

In the end, Luffy was carried back by Ace and Sabo.

Since this kid did injure dozens of naval soldiers, even if it wasn't his intention, he still needs to be punished.

In the end, he was taken back by his two older brothers, and it was Garp who had to personally punish Luffy.

With Chiga present, Luffy behaved himself and didn't cause any trouble until he boarded the ship.

After the three brothers left, Nami immediately clung to them, pouting and saying in a muffled voice,

"Brother Qianhe, where have you been all these years? You haven't come to see me and my sister at all!"

Unfortunately, Chiga left in a hurry, and apart from some people at headquarters, everyone else really thought he had disappeared.
