Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"Straw Hat...Does Luffy train like this all day long?" Bonney couldn't help but ask.

Merry nodded as if it were commonplace: "Yes, Luffy has always been the hardest worker."

Bonney looked at the three figures sweating profusely, especially Luffy, and couldn't help but ask again, "Doesn't he feel pressured? Doesn't he get tired?"

Exercising like this every day will probably cause mental problems.

Merry paused for a moment, a strange expression on her face. Then she secretly glanced at Robin, who was sitting on a beach chair not far away, leisurely reading a book and occasionally glancing at the battle. She then looked at Nami, who was checking accounts by the orange grove while looking at Luffy.

“Someone will help him relieve the pressure,” Merry whispered.

Bonnie followed her gaze, a puzzled look on her face.

Relieve stress?

How to relieve stress.

Life on the Sunny Journey gradually unfolds.

On days when we're not at the helm, everyone has their own things to do.

There are those who, like Zoro and Sanji, follow in Luffy's footsteps and train diligently.

As a ship spirit, Merry's role is primarily to sense sea conditions and ensure a smooth voyage.

Bonnie was wondering why Merry wasn't on the Straw Hat crew's wanted list, only to find out that Merry was actually a ship spirit.

"Wow, it's actually a ship spirit?" Bonnie never expected to meet such a legendary being.

Since there are legends about ship spirits, what about the other legend, Nika, who brought freedom and joy to people?

It couldn't possibly be that raccoon dog named Nika, could it?

Bonnie glanced at Nika, who was gulping down a bottle of liquor, and shook her head vigorously.

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Bonnie wanted to ask, but when she looked around, everyone seemed busy.

Vivi spends most of her time organizing and analyzing intelligence from various sources, and in her spare time she discusses the development of Devil Fruit abilities with Robin. Bonney, looking at these two older sisters, is still a little embarrassed to approach them.

Upon entering the cabin, the navigator could not be found.

Nami is currently in the orange grove, working on a detailed nautical chart.

When he got tired, he would lean against the edge of the orange grove and watch Luffy fight Zoro and the others.

Franky and Usopp had already plunged into the workshop, making a racket and banging on some new inventions. Bonney was almost scared to death by the two of them when she walked over.

What kind of ridiculous inventions are these?

The most relaxed were Brook and Chopper, one sipping tea and playing the violin, and the other fishing.

"This is too harmonious."

Bonney looked at the daily scene of the pirate crew, where everyone had their own role and worked closely together, and couldn't help but mutter to herself.

This atmosphere was completely different from what she had imagined or heard of in other pirate crews.

"Let's go fishing, Bonnie!"

Melly ran over excitedly, grabbed her hand, and pulled her towards the boat, temporarily interrupting her thoughts.

.......

Time slips away unnoticed.

During a break.

While gulping down water and pressing down on his straw hat, Luffy looked into the distance and laughed, "Speaking of which, if we go to the Sabaody Archipelago, we'll be at Fishman Island soon, right?"

"Mermaid!"

Upon hearing this word, Sanji, who was engaged in a fierce battle with Zoro, was instantly distracted, his eyes turned into heart shapes, and pink bubbles appeared all over his body.

Zoro seized the opportunity, slashed at him with his sword, and yelled, "You perverted cook, do you want to die?!"

Sanji, however, was completely absorbed in his fantasy about the mermaid sister and ignored Zoro's attack.

Nami stood up, looked at the Log Pose and the nautical chart, and confirmed, "Yes, at our current course and speed, we are indeed getting closer to Fishman Island."

Bonnie swallowed the food in her mouth and reminded them, "Going from Fishman Island leads directly to the New World. Are you all ready?"

As far as she knew, the Straw Hat crew had only been formed for a short time, but their bounties were shockingly high.

Would it be too hasty to enter that new world known as the graveyard of pirates now?

This question caught Luffy off guard for a moment.

He stroked his chin and grinned, "Of course I'm prepared."

The truth is, the captain was certainly prepared, and his crew was working diligently to make preparations, but it would still take time.

Just then, Nami suddenly frowned and looked out of the ship, her expression turning serious: "Everyone, something's strange."

Everyone immediately stopped what they were doing.

Zoro placed his hand on the hilt of his sword and looked ahead: "What's that?"

In the distance, the once clear sky had been covered with large patches of dark clouds, which hung low as if they were about to press down on the sea.

Usopp shrank back in fear, noticing Nami's expression.

"Nami! You look terrible, what's going on?!"

"It's the Serpent Current!"

Nami explained urgently, while quickly issuing commands, "This current is like a living giant snake, completely unpredictable, and it can form huge whirlpools and tornadoes. It's extremely dangerous! Everyone be careful!"

Before she finished speaking, countless huge whirlpools suddenly appeared on the previously calm sea surface, the seawater swirling wildly and emitting a deep roar.

Immediately afterwards, several tornado-like water columns connecting the sea and sky appeared out of thin air, twisting and swirling, truly like giant, living serpents, lunging towards the Sunrise.

The ocean is synonymous with miracles; anything can happen there.

After experiencing so much, seeing such bizarre and wonderful scenes is not surprising at all.

This is when the skill of a navigator is truly demonstrated.

"Sanji, Chopper! Take the helm and follow my orders!" Nami shouted.

"Understood!" Sanji and Chopper immediately rushed to the ship's wheel.

"Vivi, Merry! Keep an eye on the gaps in the ocean currents and look for a breakthrough!" Nami continued to deploy.

"understand!"

Chapter 294 The Mermaid That Fell From the Sky

Vivi's body was surrounded by a slight ripple of air, while Merry closed her eyes and focused all her attention on sensing the flow of seawater around the ship.

A giant serpentine current crashed into the ship first. Luffy shouted, his rubber arm expanded, and he fired a Gum-Gum Giant Pistol, shattering the serpent.

Zoro also unleashed a flurry of sword flashes, his swirling wind slash cutting through another incoming current of seawater.

Brooke, nervously maneuvering the sail, explained, "A 'playing snake' usually refers to a snake that swims aimlessly. These currents are like giant snakes that roam without purpose, attacking everything in their path!"

Nami, holding up her binoculars, frowned deeply: "This is a huge problem. We can't see the boundary of this ocean current area at all through the binoculars!"

The Going Merry has retreated back into the Thousand Sunny.

However, all that can be seen around this sea area are serpentine currents.

Just then, Merry suddenly opened her eyes, raised her little hand, and exclaimed in a clear voice, "Nami, I've found the way! Between the third vortex and the fourth tornado on the left, there's a relatively stable gap that we can pass through!"

As a ship spirit, her perception of her surroundings far surpasses that of ordinary people.

"Well done, Merry! Sanji, turn left! Franky, prepare for the Rising Sun Blast, listen to my command!"

Nami immediately seized the opportunity.

Under Nami's precise command and Merry's navigation, the Thousand Sunny, like a nimble fish, daringly weaved through a swarm of raging snakes.

Finally, after a perfectly timed gust of wind that provided explosive acceleration, the ship burst out of the chaotic sea.

Ahead, the view suddenly opened up.

Sunlight once again bathed the sea, and at the edge of the horizon, a majestic red continent, seemingly connecting heaven and earth, stood out prominently!

"Finally, I can see the Red Line again!"

Luffy adjusted his straw hat and smiled.

As everyone gazed at the magnificent sight, their own thoughts wandered.

Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Merry... When they were in the East Blue, they also experienced a storm. At the foot of the same Red Line, they each made their vows and embarked on this great voyage.

Vivi brushed a stray hair from her temple and smiled, "I met Luffy at Twin Gorges."

"Wow, it's been fifty years, and I've seen this barrier separating the world again," Brooke remarked with considerable emotion.

Fifty years?

Bonnie couldn't help but glance at the skull.

Could it be that Brook is the deepest hidden monster among the Straw Hat crew?

"We've completed the first half of the Grand Line?" Usopp murmured in disbelief.

"Yeah!" Luffy grinned and said, "Everyone made it through safely!"

Franky wiped away non-existent tears and struck his classic pose: "Super—! I came here from the South China Sea, crossing the Upside-Down Mountain, thirty years ago!"

Robin, holding his teacup, smiled and said, "I entered this area from the West Sea five years ago."

"If we sail another halfway along the Grand Line, we will definitely be able to see the Red Line again! Then we will complete the feat of circumnavigating the world."

Only the Roger Pirates have achieved this feat in the world.

By the time I achieve this, I should have become the Pirate King.

Luffy couldn't hide his excitement.
