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

"Overestimating yourself? That must be very difficult. Well, we'll help you then."

Luffy answered without hesitation.

"but......"

Vivi looked up, her eyes filled with no falsehood or hesitation as she gazed at Luffy. She took a deep breath.

"What if the person we're dealing with is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

She stared intently at Luffy.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are powerful pirates who have reached an agreement with the World Government and the Marine Headquarters, granting them the legal right to plunder! They are among the seven strongest figures standing at the pinnacle of the seas!

However, Luffy's reaction was completely unexpected.

"One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Luffy pondered for a moment, not expecting to hear a familiar name here again. Was Vivi's enemy actually one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

"That's great. I gave up Hawkeye to Zoro before, so I'll take the title of Shichibukai this time."

It's been a long time since I've encountered a formidable enemy.

"Is that the Shichibukai, Hawkeye Mihawk? He's the strongest of the Shichibukai, but even the other Shichibukai are monster-level powerhouses. Do you even know what they mean?"

The pain was replaced by a cool sensation, and she was able to move a little. Vivi moved closer to Luffy somewhat out of control, and Luffy stepped back slightly and leaned against the bed. Vivi braced herself against the wall with both hands.

"These aren't some pirates playing around like they're doing pirate games. They're a select few who represent the pinnacle of piracy on this sea. If you approach them with that kind of mentality, you'll be killed!"

Before she could finish speaking, Luffy interrupted her.

"It doesn't matter who the enemy is, as long as they mess with my allies, I'll just blow them all away!"

The two were very close, their faces facing each other, and they could easily feel the warmth of each other's breath.

"Hey, when are you guys going to stop dawdling? I already said we can see the town, and we've reached the Whisky Hill that Vivi mentioned..."

The door opened.

The sound stopped abruptly.

Luffy turned his head and saw Nami opening the door to come in. Her expression gradually turned cold, as if she were looking at some kind of trash. "What are you doing?"

Vivi quickly withdrew her hand, lost control of her body and sat back, only to touch her wound and scream in surprise. She was shot off and fell into Luffy's arms again.

Is the woman currently guilty?

Nami frowned, and what made her even more jealous was that this guy actually reached out to support Vivi without thinking.

Luffy instinctively felt that the situation was not good.

He stood up abruptly, his mind racing, when he noticed the commotion outside.

"Enemies!"

"enemy?"

Vivi snapped out of her daze. Since she had decided to board Luffy's pirate ship, the subordinates that Icarus had developed in Whiskey Mountain shouldn't be considered enemies.

"Two strong ones defeated everyone on the island. I'm going to check it out." Luffy handed Vivi to Nami and ran off.

"Wait, don't attack Icarus!" Vivi shouted to Luffy as soon as she came to her senses.

I don't know if he heard me or not, but he turned and left.

......

At this moment, Whisky Peak was devoid of any life.

A man with unusual curly hair lay severely injured on the ground, his face pale as he angrily berated a man and a woman not far away.

The man was dressed in a brown outfit, wearing sunglasses and sporting an afro. The woman was tall with short blonde hair and carried a yellow and blue striped parasol.

"Hahaha, Mr. 8, I never expected you to be a spy in our organization."

"None of that matters anymore. The president has already ordered the abandonment of Whisky Hill."

The curly-haired man gritted his teeth, "You two bastards."

The man with the afro was sentenced to death; he picked out a booger from his nose and flicked it away.

"Zoro, save him."

"Trouble, why did you follow me here too?"

Luffy and Zoro arrived one after the other. Zoro, who was itching to fight, came as soon as he noticed the commotion. Sensing danger in the air, he instinctively slashed.

result.....

"Nose, booger?!"

Zoro stared at the disgusting object he had cleaved in two, now lying on the ground still emitting a faint smoke. His face turned green, and his hand gripping the sword trembled slightly.

He's a man destined to become the world's greatest swordsman, his sword a weapon capable of cutting through steel and cleaving mountains, yet he's managed to cut off a booger?!

"I'm going to kill you, you bastard!"

Jem picked his nose, looking disdainful. "Boogers are only fun when they explode, you idiot. Looks like your swordsmanship isn't all that great either; you can't even dodge a booger."

Miss Valentine Michita, standing beside him under a parasol, let out her signature "hahahaha" laugh, "So Icarus, you actually brought in an accomplice?"

Luffy had roughly sorted out his thoughts.

It's not actually that complicated.

If Vivi considers Icarum to be one of their own, then anyone who attacks Icarum is an enemy.

So Luffy and Zoro discussed and started choosing their enemies.

Which one do you want?

"Booger, I'm going to kill him!" Zoro said.

"Hey, do you know who we are? We're the chief commanders of Baroque Works!"

Michita stopped laughing and pointed at Luffy with the tip of her umbrella. "Besides, you still dare to be so arrogant knowing we're Devil Fruit users? Mr. 5's Blast-Blast Fruit and my Float-Float Fruit are things that small fry like you can't even imagine!"

Moreover, the Baroque Works is a fairly large organization, with several thousand people in addition to those in Whiskey Peak.

The forty or fifty men they led had already surrounded them.

However, Luffy showed them with his strength that numerical superiority is as fragile as paper in the face of absolute power. Steam spread from his body, like a gust of wind, and the people in front of him flew up with their eyes rolled back.

Using second-gear against them here is like a dimensional reduction attack.

Chapter 71 The Woman Who Emerged from the Darkness

The scene immediately became chaotic: "Is that guy also an ability user?"

Michita, however, had the air of a leader. "What's there to be afraid of? They only have one ability user and one run-of-the-mill swordsman, while we have two here!"

A group of underlings cheered.

Two skilled individuals against one—the advantage is mine!

These days, anyone who picks up a sword can be a swordsman. There are at least dozens of them here, and some of them even have guns.

As a result, just as those subordinates who were called swordsmen rushed in front of Zoro, a flash of sword light appeared, and blood splattered all over their chests as they fell down with screams.

Luffy is quite confident in Zoro's strength. Zoro is a swordsman who dares to challenge the world's greatest swordsman. In other words, Zoro is on the same level as Crocodile, the boss of these people.

Now they've actually encountered a pirate from the Grand Line, and he's a Devil Fruit user at that.

He pulled his straw hat down low, hoping the other person would let him have some fun.

"Hey, Luffy."

Zoro, suppressing his nausea, interrupted Luffy, his three swords already drawn, his eyes fierce, "Don't you dare steal my enemy in the middle of the fight."

This has happened far too many times.

"Hahaha, come and try if you dare, Mr. Swordsman!" Jem casually flicked out another booger.

This time, Zoro learned his lesson and nimbly dodged to the side, a small puff of smoke exploding from his snot behind him. His eyes sharpened, and he charged forward in an instant.

Meanwhile, Luffy also faces Miss Valentine.

Any ability user is difficult to deal with, after all, he is said to have obtained the power of a demon. When the rubber pistol was fired, the opponent dodged it easily.

Michita leaped lightly, her body instantly becoming as light as a feather, floating into the air and easily dodging Luffy's straight punch.

"Haha, I missed! I'm Miss Valentine, who can freely change my weight!"

For some reason, Luffy felt that the other person was crazy when he heard such words. He also reflected on why he always shouted "I am a rubber man who ate the rubber fruit" when fighting enemies.

This doesn't mean revealing all your weaknesses to the other party.

Just like now.

This is something Luffy learned from Zoro: ruthless and taciturn, just get to work. Moreover, he took the best and discarded the worst; he didn't pick up Zoro's habit of reciting poetry.

"A 10,000-kilogram guillotine!"

Michita suddenly shouted, and her body instantly became extremely heavy, falling from the sky like a meteorite and crashing down on Luffy.

It made a lot of noise, but it was still too slow.

Just like a certain move, it looks good but is useless.

"Rubber Jet Stamp!"

Luffy flashed into the air and kicked Michita, who was rising below in preparation for her next attack.

boom!

He was kicked away and saw stars.

That's it?

Luffy thought that being a subordinate of one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea and a Devil Fruit user on the Grand Line would make him very strong, but he was instantly killed in one encounter.

No, you don't have any physical skills at all?
