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

Until the sun rises.

Luffy closed his eyes, lay down in a sweat, and rested for a while. He felt someone stop in front of him.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a head of deep blue hair.

Vivi, with her long ponytail, leaned down in front of Luffy. When Luffy opened his eyes, she reached out and poked his cheek.

Chapter 105 The Emperor of the Sea? Sounds interesting!

"Good morning."

"It's Vivi."

"You're working way too hard."

"He just has too much energy." Walking behind Vivi was Nami, who was holding Nika in her arms.

"What's wrong with having lots of energy?" Luffy retorted.

Nami's face stiffened. What was she supposed to say?

Maybe, perhaps... it's alright?

Over there, Chopper and Run Fast sneaked into the kitchen looking like they were slyly sneaking in.

"Speaking of which, there's another idiot on the ship who can't swim now..." Nami changed the subject.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Nami."

Even those with special abilities can't swim, what can you do about it? Luffy can be strong in many things, but he really can't do this.

That would be so much fun if he could swim too.

If you encounter someone with special abilities, just drag them all into the sea.

"Hmph, as long as you give me money, that's fine," Nami snorted.

"Even if it costs you money, you'd still go to sea to save Luffy, right?" Vivi covered her mouth and chuckled.

But she was also a little envious.

Everyone on the ship has their own role, but what about her?

Without realizing it, she had come to consider herself a member of the ship.

All she could think about was how she could help Luffy, if only she could find a Devil Fruit too...

"I won't!" Nami hurriedly denied.

Nika, held in his arms, became a weapon instead.

Nika was still holding a wine bottle in one hand; she had found it in the wine cellar when Nami came out.

He's even more of a drunkard than Zoro.

Nika seemed to hear him, and groggily raised his head, gulping down another mouthful of wine, and mumbled, "Hiccup... Ni can't swim either, so remember to save Ni first."

After saying that, he tilted his head to the side and fell asleep against Nami's chest.

Not long after, Chopper and Runaway, who had been stealing food, were chased out of the kitchen by Sanji with a knife. It looked like he was going to turn them into backup food.

Looking at the lively scene on the deck, Weiwei smiled, but a trace of sorrow lingered deep in her eyes.

With the country in turmoil and powerful enemies at hand, the uncertainty of the future weighed heavily on her heart like a boulder.

"Don't worry, Vivi, look, we have two more friends now," Luffy reassured her.

"Don't let Chopper and Nika's appearance fool you, they're incredibly strong fighters."

Luffy stretched out his arm and snatched Nika from Nami's arms, letting Nika put on a show.

Get bigger, get bigger, and get even bigger!

Contrary to expectations, Nika looked like she hadn't woken up properly.

Vivi was infected by Luffy's optimism and managed a weak smile, but her expression immediately turned serious:

"Luffy, don't underestimate Baroque Works, especially Crocodile. He is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, one of the strongest people who truly stands at the top of the sea."

Her gaze involuntarily fell upon Robin, who was sitting quietly reading a book not far away.

After her trip to Drum Island, her feelings towards Robin became much more complex; at least she was no longer as wary as she had been initially.

Robin is currently a prisoner. After Vivi calmed down, she actually noticed the kindness Robin was showing. The information about Crocodile was initially revealed to her unintentionally by Robin.

Robin keenly noticed Vivi's gaze, closed the book, and her smile faded slightly.

"Mr. Luffy really should be careful. Princess Vivi's concerns are not unfounded."

"Crocodile is very strong. He even fought against Whitebeard, the Emperor of the Sea, when he was young. Besides him, there are a few other high-ranking officers in Baroque Works who deserve special attention."

Her words drew everyone's attention.

Emperor of the sea?

Most of the people from the East China Sea had little impression of this name.

Robin explained it briefly and everyone understood.

Those were pirates even more powerful than the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"The Emperor of the Sea?" Luffy's interest was piqued.

“It’s not time for us to think about the Emperor of the Sea yet,” Nami stopped Luffy from thinking further.

Otherwise, who knows if he might impulsively declare war on the Sea Emperor?

Robin then gave a more detailed account of Baroque Works than Vivi had previously described.

First and foremost, the top-level boss is Crocodile. Mr. 0

He has twelve human agents and one animal who report directly to him. Each of them is paired with a female agent to work together.

Robin gracefully crossed her legs:

"First is Mr. 1, Daz Bones, the user of the Quick-Cut Fruit, whose entire body can turn into blades, making him a pure assassin. His partner is Miss. Double Finger, the user of the Thorn-Thorn Fruit, who can make sharp thorns grow from any part of her body."

"Then there's Mr. 2, Bon Clay, a user of the Imitation Fruit. Anyone whose face he touches can perfectly mimic their appearance, and he can even copy their voice. He's a very troublesome character. He doesn't have a fixed partner, but he's quite strong, especially skilled in Okama Kenpo."

"The guy we defeated in Little Garden was Mr. 3, the Candle Man, right?" Luffy asked.

“Yes, his partner is Miss Goldenweek.” Robin paused for a moment before continuing:

"Mr.4 and Miss Christmas are both Zoan-type Devil Fruit users."

"There are also Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine, who are known as high-level agents. They are all Devil Fruit users and are only deployed for truly important missions."

"Mr. 6 to Mr. 13 led ordinary employees to raise funds for the company by establishing the Grand Line entrance."

"Mr. 13 and Miss Friday are the punishment team, whose mission is to punish those who fail in their missions."

"In addition, there are numerous elders with hundreds of millions of members and millions of members within the organization. They may not be strong individually, but when they come together, they are a force to be reckoned with."

Robin's information was detailed and clear, giving everyone a more concrete understanding of the enemy they were about to face.

But if Crocodile knew, he'd probably vomit blood.

This information was even more detailed than he knew.

In fact, Robin handles most of the Baroque Works' affairs, and her intelligence capabilities are undoubtedly strong.

"Covered in knives? That guy sounds like a formidable opponent."

Zoro was already excited when he heard this.

Sanji frowned at Mr. 2, who could change his face, seemingly quite disgusted by this ability.

While they were still discussing, Melli's small figure hurried over, a hint of nervousness on her face:

"Luffy, something's wrong! A lot of ships are closing in from the front and sides!"

Luffy looked in the direction Merry was pointing.

On the sea surface, dozens of dark dots can be vaguely seen rapidly growing larger, forming a huge encircling net.

Soon, the other companions also came to the deck.

Vivi picked up the binoculars and examined it closely. Her expression immediately turned grim: "It's a Baroque Works ship. It has their logo on it."

It looks like a fleet led by a powerful patriarch; they seem to have been lying in ambush in this area all along.

"Looks like they're here specifically to ambush us," Zoro said coldly, his three swords already ready.

"It's a very normal thing."

Luffy said, "Since we're coming to Alabasta, we'll definitely pass through this area. The sooner we arrive, the better."

"Everyone, let's get ready for a big battle!"

Chapter 106 Naval Battle, 1 vs. How Many?

Pirates are called pirates because most of their battles take place at sea.

The navy's advantage in this sea is due to its powerful ships and cannons.

Forget about Devil Fruit users; they were bombarded with cannon fire before we even saw them, and the ships were destroyed and people died before we even saw them.

The most obvious example of the overwhelming firepower was the Buster Call.

The Baroque Works agents, with dozens of ships, formed a fan-shaped encirclement, making the Going Merry appear so small.

But the atmosphere on the ship was completely different; the Baroque Works agents had no idea what they were about to face.

It's not their fault; who would have thought that everyone on a ship was a monster?

When they first received orders from their boss, Miss.0, many high-ranking agents thought they were about to make a big splash. Little did they know that the target was just a pirate ship, and how many people could be on board?
