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

This feeling immediately reminded Nami of Luffy's childhood friend, Uta.

Will I eventually become you?

"I've only been a little serious during this period."

Nami shook her head, feigning disgust, but a slight smile crept onto her lips. "However, starting from the East Blue, the number of opponents he's defeated is truly astonishing."

She cleared her throat, preparing to recount Luffy's glorious achievements, but Robin closed her book, gracefully walked over, and wore a perfectly measured smile of interest: "Oh? That sounds interesting. I'd also like to know Mr. Luffy's story. May I hear it too?"

Nami's face instantly fell, and she snorted irritably, "Why should I tell you? Are we that close?"

Robin wasn't annoyed. He smiled slightly, took out a small purse from somewhere, and gently weighed it in his hand, making a crisp clinking sound of gold coins.

"How about this small token of gratitude, as payment for the intelligence?"

Nami's gaze was instantly drawn to the money pouch. She hesitated for a fraction of a second before grabbing the pouch.

She coughed, giving me a condescending look that said, "I really can't do anything about it."

"Hmph, since you're so eager to hear it, I'll mercifully tell you."

So Nami started by talking about Buggy the Clown, who met Luffy, then went on to talk about the Krieg Pirates, Arlong's crew, and the little-known Hundred-Plan Kuro... She even defeated two Marine captains.

Luffy, who was staring at Psyduck, suddenly felt hungry. He turned his head and shouted towards the kitchen, "Sanji, I want to eat fish!"

"You idiot captain, the fish in the fridge was all gone long ago! Didn't you eat the last bit of fish at lunchtime?"

Is that so?

Luffy frowned, licked his lips, and turned his gaze to the wary Runner.

I have a solution.

Chapter 77 He really pulled off that cool act.

If you encounter difficulties, find a solution yourself. Luffy has never been the kind of person who thinks that crying will get you what you want.

This fast-running duck looks plump and meaty, definitely a great material for fish bait. Without further ado, Luffy immediately started catching the duck.

Not long after, the fast runner let out a shrill scream.

Even animals can unleash some kind of potential when they feel they are about to die. Luffy lost his grip and ran fast enough to hide behind Vivi, trembling with fear.

Luffy is still using this as bait. This top-tier lure, being fast, might attract some giant sea king, which would allow him to have several meals.

Upon hearing this, Usopp also came over and looked him up and down. He deliberately scared him away because it was the giant goldfish's favorite food.

In Usopp's fiction, the giant goldfish is as large as an island, feeds on islands, and its excrement is the same size as an island.

The little duck's eyes widened instantly, its feathers bristled, it shook its head frantically, quacking in terror, its short wings flapping wildly, as if it wanted to jump into the sea to escape immediately.

Although it's actually a fast-running duck, not a duck, why send it to lure giant sea monsters?

What's the difference between this and turning it directly into fish food?

Karu was so scared he almost jumped out of his skin, clinging tightly to Vivi's clothes, leaving only his trembling backside facing Luffy.

"Luffy, don't even think about using your speed!" Vivi said.

Luffy felt it was a bit of a pity.

“Luffy, I have a plan,” Merry said.

Luffy's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What's the plan?"

Sitting on Luffy's shoulder, Merry gently swung her legs, raised her little hand high, pointed to the sea to the side of the ship, and said in a soft voice with a hint of pride, "We don't need bait."

I see lots of big fish over there, in groups. I can have the waves help push them up, and then Luffy, you can just reach out and grab them!

"...So there's another way! Let's give it a try!"

Luffy excitedly carried Merry to the side of the ship.

Is it something you can just casually say about controlling the waves? Robin watched this scene quietly. At first, she thought Merry was just an ordinary crew member on the ship, but now it seemed that she was the most extraordinary one.

"I see. Is this young lady the legendary ship spirit?" Robin tilted his head slightly, a graceful smile curving his lips.

Her knowledge far surpassed that of ordinary people. She had naturally heard of the legend of the ship spirit, but seeing it with her own eyes still amazed her.

"A ship spirit?!" Vivi exclaimed, her azure eyes filled with disbelief.

"Isn't that something that only exists in legends? It's said to be the embodiment of a ship, and it repairs ships in the dead of night while wearing a raincoat and carrying a small wooden hammer."

"Merry, show them your hammer." Luffy said with a hint of smugness.

Merry's abilities are not that simple. Being able to control ships is one thing, but Luffy doesn't really care about that ability. He once saw Merry throw a hammer, and then another hammer quickly appeared in his hand.

It's like the Infinite Power mode, where you keep throwing hammers, and Merry says it doesn't take any damage to her.

Then Luffy helped Merry develop a new technique.

Keep throwing the hammer.

It was so cute, just randomly throwing little hammers around.

Merry seemed to know she was cute, so she closed her eyes and started babbling as she threw the hammer into the sea.

Looking at Meli, who had a lively ponytail and wore a patchwork dress that looked as cute as a little angel, Vivi couldn't reconcile her with the mysterious and vague image from ancient legends.

That's exactly the image I saw when I first met Merry.

But with a woman like Nami who has such great fashion sense, how could she let Merry wear a raincoat all the time? She was quite proud of it.

"Isn't our Merry adorable? I even made this outfit for her myself." Nami put her hands on her hips and smiled with considerable pride.

Vivi looked at Meli again, and just then Meli gave her a bright and innocent smile, her pure eyes curving into crescents.

With just that one glance, Weiwei felt as if her heart had been struck by something.

"Oh my god, so cute!"

Weiwei gasped softly, her cheeks flushing slightly.

Thinking she was a little devil was definitely a misconception!

This is clearly a little angel descended to earth! Who could resist such an adorable and magical creature?

If we're talking about demons, it's definitely because of Luffy!

Vivi touched her bottom.

Luffy couldn't wait to eat fish, so he had Merry start casting a spell while he eagerly lay on the ship's side, stretching out his rubber arms, ready to attack at any moment.

Merry nodded, then closed her eyes, a focused expression on her little face. She stretched out her small hand and gently waved it towards the distant sea.

Something amazing happened.

The waves around the Merry seemed to be guided by an invisible force, beginning to surge gently and orderly, not with the ferocity of a storm, but more like a gentle sway. In the distance, beneath the surface, a large shadow could be vaguely seen rapidly approaching.

Splash!

The next moment, countless sea fish were lifted to the surface by a perfectly timed wave. Fish of all shapes and sizes shimmered with silver scales in the sunlight as they leaped out of the water with a splash, creating a spectacular scene.

Luffy's eyes lit up immediately. Why would he need bait to fish? With Merry around, he could just pick up the fish directly.

Luffy was naturally quick to act; this was also a trial. What does Observation Haki require? Precision and speed. Just now, his mind was filled with thoughts about developing Devil Fruits, and now he was facing a real battle.

"Rubber, rubber...the authorities are arresting you!"

Luffy's rubber arms lashed out like a storm, and with each shout, one or more huge sea fish were accurately hit on the head, knocked unconscious, and then scooped back onto the deck by Luffy's outstretched arms.

Nami and the others rushed over and hurriedly sorted and piled up the spoils. With Luffy's huge appetite, there was no limit to how much food they could store.

Sanji had already begun examining the ingredients while stroking his chin, contemplating how to cook them.

Soon, the fish on the deck piled up into a small mountain, and the Merry was almost weighed down by the abundance. The fish in this area seemed endless, and the variety was astonishing.

Everyone noticed the strangely shaped school of fish.

Some of their heads are shaped like hammers, and some have mouths full of sharp teeth, their scales as hard as armor.

They all seem to be new species; nobody knows what these fish are.

Knowledge is never useless; it only serves a purpose at crucial moments. Luffy looked at these strangely shaped fish and immediately named them.

Then he attracted the attention of a group of people.

Chapter 78 The Little Garden

"Cup-shaped Ichthyosaur".

Snakehead fish.

"Megalodon".

......

Just one glance at these strangely shaped fish and Luffy would automatically conjure up a multitude of matching descriptions in his mind.

It can only be said that all matches.

However, this left Nami and the others completely bewildered.

Luffy can be very strong, or even extremely strong.

However, aside from combat strength, Luffy can know a lot about other knowledge points, but not too much!

Doesn't this make them seem incompetent?

In other words, they didn't even know things that even an idiot like Luffy knew.

"Aren't you just talking nonsense?" Zoro had the strongest preconceived notions about Luffy and was somewhat skeptical.

Robin stood up for Luffy. She crouched down and carefully examined a strange fish with thick scales and a protruding mouth, saying softly, "That's right. Mr. Luffy is very observant. The characteristics of these fish match some ancient species recorded in historical texts. This suggests that this sea area, or the nearby islands, may have an ecosystem that has continued from ancient times without significant evolution."

She paused for a moment and then said, "We should have arrived at the small garden by now."
