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

Luffy looked at Vivi, who was somewhat dazed, withdrew his hand, and spoke.

"Something that you'd risk your life to accomplish must be very important, right? I value you highly. Become my partner, and I can help you."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of light gradually appeared in Weiwei's eyes.

Indeed, she had other important matters to attend to.

but......

"Just...you?" Vivi looked at Luffy.

Upon hearing this, Luffy said, "Hey, I'm a very powerful pirate, I'm going to be the Pirate King."

"There aren't many pirates in the East Blue who are strong enough to fight, which is why I came to the Grand Line."

"The bounty is now 50 million, but I think the Navy's bounty on me is still too low."

"You, how much did you say?" Vivi's eyes were fixed on Luffy. "Fifty million Berries?"

How could such a powerful pirate appear in a place like the East Blue?

That's higher than the bounty offered to senior executives of the Baroque Works, isn't it?

Vivi struggled.

The closer she got to the core of the Baroque Works' horror, the more she was able to perceive the terror.

The person in front of me easily defeated the unlucky duo, demonstrating his formidable strength.

But if she were to become a pirate...

"I....."

Snapped.

"I promise you, now let me go!"

[Notification: Partner Nefit D. Vivi has been recruited. Less than three hours remain for Partner Day...]

"Nice to meet you. My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm a pirate."

The physical restraints were loosened.

Luffy quickly changed his expression and gently put Vivi down, but as soon as her bottom touched the ground, Vivi felt like she had been pricked by a needle and could only sit like a duck, then she used her hands to barely prop herself up.

She watched Luffy's rapidly changing expression, gritted her teeth, and a hint of humiliation flashed in her eyes. She wasn't actually injured, just a little weak, and the most severe ache was a burning pain, but it was alright as long as she didn't touch it.

“My name is Miss Wednesday.” Vivi struggled for a moment, then stood up unsteadily, her pale, greasy thighs trembling slightly. She did not reveal her real name.

but.....

"Is this some kind of nickname? Aren't you called Nefit D. Vivi...? From now on, I'll call you Vivi."

"How do you know my name?!" A wave of panic washed over her, and Vivi frantically grabbed Luffy's clothes, exclaiming:

"Who exactly are you?"

At this moment, Laboon started his daily crash mission again. In the midst of the swaying, Vivi almost fell, but Luffy caught her on his waist with one hand. "I'll explain this later."

"I'll introduce you to the crew. Besides, this whale is so old, and it's still crying."

Luffy could clearly hear the wailing and screaming coming from the voice.

Is the whale crying?

You're not a whale, have you ever been a whale? Don't talk nonsense.

There was no time for Vivi to think about these things. Luffy suddenly seemed to take flight, and she could only instinctively hug Luffy's waist.

the other side.

Nami thought they had been eaten by a whale, but when she looked up, the place looked like a paradise, and there was an island in the distance.

Am I dreaming?

The next second, a huge figure emerged from the sea.

It's a giant squid!

"Rubber, the spear of the giant!"

A voice descended from the sky, and the giant squid looked up only to be slapped away by a giant's hand.

Nami, who was initially worried about Luffy, immediately beamed with joy upon seeing this scene.

"Luffy..."

Nami stopped after taking two steps forward. Luffy landed on the deck with Merry sitting on his shoulder, looking perfectly normal.

But who is the woman tucked under your waist?!

She even put her arm around Luffy's waist?!

Nami crossed her arms and remained expressionless.

Chapter 65 The Agreement

Suddenly, he hugged a woman and told his crew that she would be their new crewmate. Luffy's intuition told him he couldn't do that, and he could tell from Nami's expression.

That look in his eyes, as if he were looking at trash, seemed to suggest that he had been abducting women during his absence.

If Nami and the others found out that they made Vivi cry, they would definitely be condemned by their friends.

So Luffy decided to change the subject. Just as he was thinking about what to do, it was like someone bringing him a pillow when he was sleepy. His Observation Haki keenly sensed movement ahead.

"Hey, who are you?"

Isn't that a question I should be asking?

Nami followed Luffy's gaze and saw an old man walking out of the house in front.

He was an old man with a hairstyle resembling a saffron flower, wearing glasses and with a fierce expression.

"Hey, isn't it polite to give your name before asking someone a question?"

Luffy also thought there was some truth to it.

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy..."

Before she could finish speaking, the old man on the other end spoke even faster, "My name is Colax, I am the lighthouse keeper of Twin Capes, I am 71 years old, a Gemini... I used to be a pirate."

Luffy's fists are hard! The local pirates on the Grand Line are being incredibly rude!

However, Colacus is still somewhat useful.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this place looks like a resort with scenic views, seagulls, and small islands. It was actually all modified by Colex, and even the small island was made with a specially made boat.

"Anyway, the door is there, so you'd better leave quickly if you want to."

Colex pointed to the door in front of him.

Merry didn't like this place very much either, because the ship was constantly soaking in the stomach acid inside a whale's body.

At this moment, the whale's body suddenly began to churn.

"Damn it, has it started yet?" Colex stood up with a serious expression.

"Ah, this whale is crying again," Luffy said, looking up.

Colex's eyes widened. "You can sense Laboon's emotions?"

At that moment, he stared at the hat Luffy was wearing, and for a moment he seemed to see a familiar old friend.

That person often loudly proclaimed what sounds they could hear.

One Piece, Gol D. Roger.

Everyone else on the ship thought Roger had lost his mind. Collos initially thought so too. After leaving the Pirate King's ship and returning to Twin Capes, he spent so much time with Laboon that he sometimes seemed to be able to hear Laboon's voice and hear its emotions.

"I remember now, Straw Hat Boy, you're that super rookie pirate who recently appeared in the East Blue, right?" Colax stood up, trying hard to recall, "The super rookie pirate whose initial bounty reached 50 million."

Those who don't know him might think that Crocus is Luffy's devoted fanboy, knowing everything about him, such as how he single-handedly destroyed the Buggy Pirates, how he could destroy a Navy warship with a single punch, and how he could easily wipe out the Arlong Pirates in the sea.

The plot started off somewhat familiar, but it became increasingly unrecognizable as it progressed. Even Luffy, who experienced it firsthand, found it a bit absurd. How could I, a Devil Fruit user, possibly wipe out the Arlong Pirates in one fell swoop at sea?

This is where the charm of journalism lies.

The navy always exaggerates the details when describing some of the most vicious pirates.

Colex's expression turned serious. He had a deep impression of Vivi. "So, you're in cahoots with that woman, and your target is also Raab?"

"What group? We don't even know her!"

Nami was the first to retort.

"No, in a sense, this uncle is right."

Luffy handed Vivi and Merry to Nami, saying, "Nefit D. Vivi, from today onwards she is our crewmate."

"Huh?! ×N"

"This big whale, Laboon, is one too."

"Huh?!" This time, Crocus's mouth almost dropped to the ground. He couldn't keep up with Luffy's train of thought and couldn't help but reply, "Laboon has its own crew."

"What about them?"

Colex opened his mouth, "Right now, there's a very high probability he's already dead."

The Grand Line is a place where even Roger and his crew were driven to the brink of despair multiple times... The Navy, rival pirates, disease, extreme weather, and most importantly, strength!

It would be too difficult for an ordinary pirate crew to travel around the world and return here.

In the Grand Line, in that terrifying sea, all common sense doesn't apply; seasons, weather, ocean currents, wind direction—everything is a complete mess...

When a person's inner fears are aroused, all emotions and agreements will be thrown to the back of their mind.

Those pirates broke their promise.

It came out of the whale's stomach.

Raab has calmed down after being injected with a sedative by Colex.
