One Piece: Who still has dreams?

There's a thief!

Nami's eyes instantly reddened, but this time it wasn't out of gratitude, but out of utter rage.

The figures on the deck, who were swaggering around carrying gold and treasure (inherited from the cargo on the Pakistani ship), all looked up when they heard this horrific commotion.

"My money!!!"

Nami screamed and tried to climb out the window, but Redio pulled her back from behind.

call!

Under the moonlight, Redio leaped out of the cockpit, two weapons appearing out of thin air in his hands.

"Boom."

Reddio landed on the deck, tucked the chef's staff into his waistband, and wielded the three-section staff made of sea stone. He scanned the pirates on the deck; there were about 20 of them.

Looking to the right, beyond the ship's side, there was another large ship right next to it. The moonlight illuminated a black pirate flag fluttering in the cold wind; it was a skull with cat eyes.

What a coincidence!

"Perfect for some practice," Redio chuckled to the Black Cat Pirates, shaking one end of his three-section staff. "Where's your captain?"

Are you looking for me?

A voice rang out from behind the pirates: "Twenty cargo carriers!" The crew parted to reveal a man resembling Michael Jackson, wearing heart-shaped glasses, sitting at the bow of the ship with an air of expertise.

Who are you sending this to?

Redio said, "I was referring to Kro."

"Fool, Captain Crowe has been executed by the Navy." "Our captain is now First Mate Zango." "He should be called Captain Zango." "He used to be First Mate!" "But now he's the captain!"...

A group of lowly pirates started arguing, so Redio swung his three-section staff and with a "bang," swept several noisy pirates away.

"You dare to make a move?!"

The other pirates dropped their cargo, drew their swords and weapons, and swarmed towards Redio.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! ...

Although they were all low-level thugs, Redio had a good chance to test his newly learned three-section staff technique to deal with the pirates attacking from different directions.

Although he tried to control his strength, Youyun was still too heavy. Soon, the pirates were lying on the ground, all with bruises and blood on their faces, lying on the deck.

"..."

Zango, standing at the bow of the ship, was stunned, snot dripping from his nose. Where did this guy come from? How could he be so powerful! He hadn't even drawn his weapon yet, and everyone was already taken care of?

Blood dripped from one end of the three-section staff. The person holding it looked at Zango, and in the dim moonlight, that gaze sent chills down Zango's spine.

"Wait! Wait, wait, wait!"

Zango pulled out his weapon, a ring-bladed throwing knife, resembling a pocket watch. Fortunately, the man was actually fooled and didn't immediately swing a club at him, cracking his skull open. Zango was overjoyed, raised the ring-bladed knife, and shouted:

"Everyone, look at me!"

As he shouted, he shook the ring-shaped throwing knife in his hand, "After I finish counting '1, 2, Zango,' your wounds will be completely healed, and your strength will increase, and it will only get stronger! 1, 2, Zango!"

Redio didn't go to see it.

Although he was very curious to know whether he could really unleash extraordinary power after being hypnotized by this guy.

But Nami is still on the ship. It wouldn't be good if I lost control and killed her...

Thinking this, the pirates who had been lying all over Redio suddenly stood up again in bizarre shapes, like resurrected zombies, and roared wildly as if they had been injected with adrenaline:

"Whoa whoa whoa whoa!!!"

All of Lou's muscles visibly swelled several sizes, his spirit was extremely excited, he stomped a large hole in the deck with one foot, and could smash a box with one punch.

"boom!"

The Seastone Cloud slammed heavily onto the head of the first berserk pirate who charged forward, shattering his skull. Redio kicked the man, sending him crashing through the ship's hull and flying into the sea like a cannonball.

"Aaaaaah!" The other pirates, now fearless and with power several times greater, charged forward. Redio, no longer holding back, unleashed a merciless attack. One end of his three-section staff rose to shatter a pirate's throat, while the other could be raised to smash another's sternum...

As You Yun constantly changed the way he gripped his hands, he skillfully dealt with attacks coming from every angle around him, becoming increasingly adept at it.

[Mastered: Wandering Cloud Staff Technique (Beginner)]

Redio was getting more and more into the fight, seemingly entering a state of flow. He could even wield his nunchucks with one hand, sending one pirate after another flying as if it were an extension of his own arm. But then Nami's terrified scream pierced his eardrums:

"Reddio!!"

On the deck, Nami collapsed to the ground, trembling as she moved backward. Before her stood a gigantic lion, seemingly hypnotized as well, its eyes gleaming with ferocity, its gaping maw dripping saliva as it approached the terrified Nami, its legs trembling with fear.

Moonlight streaked across the gleaming blade as it flew out...

Redio hurled the Royal Chef's Blade, a blade of immense sharpness, which slashed into the neck of the berserk lion as easily as a hot knife through butter, piercing through without any resistance, and embedding itself in the wooden wall of the cabin behind it with a thud.

With a "bang," the lion's large head slid off and crashed heavily onto the deck.

With a "whoosh," a surge of lion's hot blood gushed from the severed neck, drenching the terrified and bewildered Nami.

With a "smack," Youyun lashed out like lightning, knocking down Django, who was trying to climb onto the adjacent Black Cat Pirate Ship. Django screamed in pain, clutching his wound and rolling around on the deck.

Redio kicked Zango with his toe, lifting him up to stand, and then kicked him in the back of both knees. With a thud, Zango knelt down on the spot, his back to Redio.

Zango was in so much pain that he was covered in cold sweat. Then he felt something heavy pressing down on his head, which sent chills down his spine: it was the three-section staff that had beaten his men into a bloody mess!

The boy behind him said, “Use the method you just used to hypnotize yourself. The content is, ‘After I finish reading 1, 2, Zango, I will become a person who can no longer lie and will tell the truth.’ If you dare to misspell a single word, your head will be blown off.”

Chapter 19 It was this chaotic world that ruined you.

……

To test whether Zango had truly succeeded in self-hypnosis, Redio simply asked, "Hey, is Chloe really dead?"

That's amazing!

He didn't want to tell the truth at all, but his mouth spoke on its own: "He didn't die. Not long ago, he said he was tired of being chased by the Navy, so he used my hypnosis to find a scapegoat for the Navy. He carefully selected a rich man and planned to seize his property and live in anonymity from then on."

Oh no! Thinking of Captain Crook's cruel and ruthless methods, he realized he had revealed his entire plan... Zango was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

Over there, Nami, who had been drenched in blood by the lion, came to her senses upon hearing Kuro's name. Kuro was really alive?

"Where is this wealthy person from?"

“west…Xiluobu Village…” Zango tried desperately to cover his mouth, but he still blurted it out.

Is this really the place we're going to?

Nami was a little surprised, but didn't pay much attention. She angrily kicked Django in the face, yelling, "Tell me! Why did you steal my treasure! You bastard!"

Zang Gao, his face bruised and swollen, honestly replied, "When we find an unmanned ship, of course we should take all the valuables without hesitation! We're pirates!"

Redio asked, "Have you ever killed anyone? How many people have you killed? How many ordinary civilians?"

Zango didn't want to answer, but couldn't help saying, "If you ask me how much treasure I've robbed, I might remember. How could I possibly remember how many people I've killed? But if it's how many towns I've plundered, I might have a vague recollection!"

Fortunately, although the orange-haired girl covered in lion's blood turned ashen-faced after hearing his answer, the boy who had smashed them all to pieces with a three-section staff did not react much.

That's good, that's good... As long as the cat-man brothers guarding the ship realize something is wrong, there's still a chance for things to turn around!

Reddio pointed to the Black Cat Pirate Ship that was docked on the other side, "How many people are left on your ship?"

"No need to ask the captain, that's great!" Zango said reassuredly. "Only the cat-men brothers are still around. They're very powerful; if you go over there, you'll definitely be ambushed." Why remind them of that?!

Nami looked at Redio.

Redio, carrying the royal chef, said to Nami, "Keep your gold safe. I'll be back soon." With that, he grabbed a rope, tied Django's hands together like a dog on a leash, and leaped up, quietly jumping into the adjacent enemy ship in the dim moonlight.

……

Nami carefully put away her 15 billion bounty of gold that had almost been stolen by the pirates, and then, unable to bear the blood all over her body, she went to the ship to take a bath.

Thank goodness, this new ship that Redio created with his special abilities comes with a bathroom and even soap.

When she returned to the deck feeling refreshed, she saw that Redio had already come back, but she didn't see any of the cat-men brothers, only the hypnotist tied up to the side, trembling.

Redio squatted beside the carcass of the lion that used to catch mice, stroking the now dull and cold lion's head, and sighed deeply, "It's not that I harmed you, but that this chaotic world harmed you."

Zango and Nami: "..."

……

[The second day]

Moonlight Islands, the westernmost islands, on the north coast.

The pink new ship and the black cat pirate ship were anchored on this deserted shore. The lion was dead, there was no one to catch the mice, and the black cat pirate ship couldn't be deployed to the three-in-one vessel, so they had to sail over together for now.

"boom!"
