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

"I told you to experience my feelings first, then you'll know why I want to go back!" Luffy forcefully pried her hand off.

"Don't joke around, it wasn't me who lost your hat."

Gion retorted, gripping the hilt of the sword even tighter with both hands, "It's your own fault for not paying attention."

Luffy suddenly lessened his grip when grabbing the sword.

Before Gion could even breathe a sigh of relief, they saw Luffy's face turn visibly red.

"You still dare to say that?"

Luffy's voice rose eight octaves, "Whose Devil Fruit sent me back eight hundred years?"

You are fully responsible for this!

You can trace things back to their origins like this?!

Gion was stunned.

Are you going to give it to me or not?

"No!"

Gion looked a little guilty.

But having already taken a punch from Luffy once, she didn't want to be hit again and refused to go back no matter what.

She gripped her knife tightly.

The two were locked in a stalemate within the time tunnel, with Gion clinging to her beloved sword like an octopus, while Luffy tried desperately to separate her from the sword.

This infuriated Luffy.

This guy is impossible to shake off.

Suddenly, Luffy remembered something.

When I first met Weiwei, she was stubborn and refused to cooperate.

Luffy hardened his face and steeled his resolve.

"what!"

Gion let out a short gasp.

She was suddenly lifted up by a force, and in the blink of an eye, she was lying on Luffy's lap.

The position was quite awkward, with his buttocks facing Luffy's face.

"What...what do you want to do?!"

Gion's voice changed, and she struggled desperately, but Luffy's arm held her waist like an iron hoop.

This posture feels incredibly insecure!

"Go back!"

"I'm not going back! Go back yourself if you dare!" Gion gritted her teeth, her face already flushed red.

"You dare talk back?"

Snapped!

A crisp sound echoed through the time tunnel.

Gion froze, as if struck by lightning. Filled with shame, indignation, and disbelief, she forced out a few words through gritted teeth.

"Monkey D. Luffy!"

"What are you yelling about?"

clap clap clap!

Luffy was clearly angry. Although he controlled his strength so as not to hurt her, each blow was solid and resounding in the silent time tunnel.

"Are you coming back or not?!"

"I'm not going back!"

"My hat!"

"What does this have to do with me!"

"The Time Fruit!"

"That was an accident!"

The two argued like children, one asking and the other answering, accompanied by rhythmic slapping sounds.

Finally, Gion couldn't hold back any longer and yelled, "You perverted scoundrel!"

Luffy chuckled coldly, "I'm a pirate."

It really is!

Gion's face grew redder and redder, initially a flush of anger, but gradually turning into a blush of shame.

She bit her lower lip, stopped speaking, and stubbornly endured the punishment.

I don't know how much time has passed.

Luffy's hands were tired from hitting, so he hit much less hard.

Immediately after that light pat, the person in his arms suddenly underwent some kind of change.

The feel of the body, the breath, and even the tension of the muscles are different.

Luffy was taken aback and instinctively stopped.

The person he had pressed down on his lap slowly turned his head.

That was a completely different face.

Soft and graceful lines, long green hair, and eyes that held a mixture of confusion and shyness.

When the moon shines!

Luffy's hand was still on her hip, a position that froze both of them at the same time.

"Lord Luffy?"

Tianyue's voice was as soft as a mosquito's buzz, and her face turned bright red at a visible speed, even the tips of her ears turned pink.

Luffy recoiled as if burned, quickly pulling his hand back and bouncing backward: "Misunderstanding, this is a misunderstanding!"

"I know."

Tenzuki Toki hurriedly scrambled off Luffy's lap, straightening the hem of her kimono, her head bowed so low it was almost buried in her chest. "It's because of Lord Gion, isn't it?"

She was stunned when she woke up.

What are those two doing?!

Did she wake up at the wrong time?

As a result, Gion, deep within her consciousness, instantly relinquished all control of her body to her as if fleeing a disaster, without offering a single explanation.

But Tianyue could feel the burning shame and indignation.

She understood: Lady Gion was shy!

Unexpectedly!

How could that seemingly cold and hard-as-a-sword-like Marine Admiral candidate have developed such a relationship with Luffy?

Luffy looked at Tengetsu and didn't know what to say for a moment.

What's with that face looking like he's eating something?

He scratched his head somewhat awkwardly, then his hand froze in mid-air.

I instinctively reached for my straw hat but found nothing.

Luffy sighed.

If Gion is not feasible, then Tengetsu-toki is even less so.

Tengetsu had only eaten the Time Fruit not long ago, let alone reached the awakening stage. The ability to reliably travel through time was something she used in conjunction with Gion.

I feel really uncomfortable without a hat on.

......

The exit of the time wormhole was shimmering faintly in the distance, and Luffy was clearly not in a good mood.

One can only hope that someone finds his hat and they meet again in the future!

Isn't that a very low probability?

Tianyue closed her eyes, her long, light green hair swaying slightly. A few seconds later, she opened her eyes and pointed in a certain direction of the time wormhole.

"Lord Luffy, the time wormhole will appear in three minutes. It seems to be located in a place with many people. I can hear quite a few sounds."

He's becoming more and more skilled with the Time Fruit.

"A lot of people?" Luffy frowned.

Previously, encounters with Celestial Dragons and Kingdom soldiers involved many people; hopefully, this time it won't be another troublesome situation.

Soon, a ball of white light began to condense in front of the time wormhole, gradually forming a stable exit.

A noisy sound came from over there.

There were indeed many people, and they seemed to be shouting something.

"Are you ready?"

Luffy stood up and stretched his arms.

"Ah."

Tengetsu nodded and took the initiative to hug Luffy's waist.

After so many time jumps, she was already very familiar with the process.

Luffy stretched out his arms, wrapped them around Tengetsu's waist to secure them, and then used his legs to exert force.

Rubber Rocket!
