One Piece: The Half-Blood Ninja Who Hides on the Straw Hat Ship

Chapter 596 What kind of monster?

"ha?"

Nami stared at the distant scene with a face full of questions. What was she seeing?

A living black cloud swallowed her lightning?

What the hell is this thing?

"Burp~"

Zeus, having swallowed a large amount of lightning, let out a satisfied burp, then chuckled and said, "Ah~"

"I still prefer this kind of weather."

"What kind of monster is that?"

Brooke stared in astonishment at the massive cloud in the sky and exclaimed, "Why is there a living cloud here?"

Did Nami make this?

No, Nami's cloud isn't a living thing, and there's no need for it to protect the opponent from damage.

So the question is, what exactly is this thing?

"Another Devil Fruit user, huh?" Sanji said, frowning.

"A Devil Fruit user?"

"Besides being a Devil Fruit user, can you find another explanation?" Sanji countered.

Under normal circumstances, clouds cannot come to life.

But since it came back to life, it means that some ability user did something.

"What should we do?" Nami asked anxiously.

If lightning doesn't work, then other attack methods are pretty useless, since lightning has the highest attack power.

As for blowing cold or hot air?

That thing isn't as useful on the high seas as you might think, especially since this time the opponent is one of the Four Emperors!

"Let me think about it."

Sanji lowered his head and thought for a moment, then turned to look in the direction Chopper had just left and called out, "Chopper, is the Wind Cannon ready?"

"I've already filled it with cola," Chopper shouted.

Three huge buckets of Coca-Cola are more than enough for the Thousand Sunny to fly three times.

"Okay, get ready to send..."

""

Before Sanji could finish speaking, they noticed several massive flying slashes suddenly appearing from the huge pirate ship chasing them, hurtling towards them at incredible speed against the wind.

Upon seeing this, Sanji's expression changed instantly. Without hesitation, he jumped up, wrapped his thigh with Haki, and prepared to kick away the slash aimed at the ship.

But whether it was good luck or not, those flying slashes didn't hit the Thousand Sunny's hull; instead, they struck the clouds that Nami had created around the Thousand Sunny.

"puff!"

"puff!"

"puff!"

"Sizzle~"

"boom!!"

A strange sound rang out, and then the clouds that Nami created malfunctioned, causing the wind to gradually weaken and the two sides to close the distance.

Upon seeing this, Sanji immediately frowned.

"I see, so you're planning to make us slow down?" Sanji frowned.

If you attack the hull, there's a chance you'll hurt Caesar, so you choose to attack the clouds.

"Those bastards!"

Nami gritted her teeth and stared into the distance. Although she had started using her ability to fill the gap the moment the cloud was broken, the opponent's flying slash continued to fly towards her.

So she was never able to make the clouds look like they did before.

As for sending Sanji to defend against it?

For Sanji to reach those flying slashes in his current state is practically suicide.

so...

"There's no time to hesitate!"

Nami shouted, "Quick, Sanji, furl the sails, fire the Wind Cannon three times in a row, let's go!"

Firing three Wind Cannon shots will definitely make them disappear from the enemy's sight, allowing them to escape smoothly from their grasp.

OK.

""

Sanji knew this wasn't the time for idle chatter, so he quickly turned around and ran towards the sails using Moonwalk, intending to furl them up as fast as possible.

Nami, meanwhile, kept her eyes glued to the massive pirate ship in the distance, ready to fight to the death at any moment.

"Um?"

Standing on the deck with binoculars, Pokemus asked in bewilderment, "Are they... furling the sails?"

"Yes."

Baron Eggman, who was also holding binoculars, said, "They are indeed furling the sails."

Although it's unclear what these guys are up to, lowering the sails is tantamount to suicide, since the sails are the primary source of power for a sailboat.

"Could it be that these guys have some other ideas?" Baron Egg wondered to himself.

For example, relying on that woman's cloud?

Could this person's cloud be capable of lifting up the entire pirate ship?

That doesn't make sense either. If the other party really had that ability, why didn't they do it just now?

Therefore, he felt that the other party probably didn't have that ability.

So the question is, what exactly do they want to do?

"Are they planning to surrender?"

"Gaa!"

Pokoms said, "But that Straw Hat guy provoked Mom, so even if they surrender, they have no chance of surviving."

He didn't believe the other party couldn't see through such a simple and easy-to-understand principle.

"That's true, but when there's no way to escape, surrendering is an option, isn't it?" Baron Egg said.

After he finished speaking, he raised his hand to remove the coffee from his head and took a delicious sip.

He then continued, "Of course, we can't rule out that the other party might have other plans."

As for what he was going to do, he had no idea, since he couldn't read the other person's mind.

Just then, Pekoms noticed something was wrong: why was the back of the Straw Hat Pirates' ship glowing?

"Something's not right!" Pokemus exclaimed. "Their sterns are glowing!"

"Um?

""

Baron Egg was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then quickly put down his coffee, picked up the binoculars, and took a look.

"It really is glowing!" Baron Egg exclaimed in surprise.

Why is the enemy's pirate ship glowing?

Could it be that the little thief cat did something?

But isn't she a user of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit? Why can she make the ship glow?

Something's not right, they might be planning to...

"6

Before Pokoms could finish speaking, a terrifying shockwave suddenly erupted from behind the Thousand Sunny, instantly scattering the clouds behind it.

Then, the Thousand Sunny suddenly took off and flew towards the distant sky at an extremely fast speed.

Pokemus: ? ? ?

Baron Eggman: ? ? ?

"ha?"

The two stared in shock at the pirate ship flying away in the distance, their jaws dropping to the ground in astonishment.

No, why can pirate ships fly?

"You can play with the Cloud-Cloud Fruit like this?" Pekoms exclaimed in shock.

Not only can it bring rain, thunder, and wind, but it can also make pirate ships fly.

No, this Devil Fruit is way too versatile.

"Idiot, this was obviously not made by a user of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit." Baron Tamago cursed.

If users of the Cloud-Cloud Fruit could really do this, they would have done it from the very beginning.

"What should we do then?" Pokoms scratched his head and said, "Mom will be angry if we don't catch Caesar."

Although with her mother's Observation Haki, she could easily detect what was happening outside and knew that this was not their fault.

But the problem is... it's true that they didn't catch anyone.

In this situation, being scolded is the least of your worries.

"What else can we do but report the truth?" Baron Egg sighed.

Baron Eggman, realizing he had messed things up, was also unsettled and became somewhat depressed.

Clearly, he could already imagine how his mother would scold them later.

As for killing them?

That's unlikely. With their qualifications, they wouldn't be killed over something like this.

"Then go ahead." Pokemus turned around, looking like he was trying to slip away, while saying, "I don't want to get scolded."

.

As he spoke, Pokhomus was about to slip away, but before he could take a step, Baron Egg grabbed his shoulder.

"What are you talking about? We're best buddies," Baron Egg said. "Of course we'll stand together through thick and thin."

"That's true, but you..."

'

"Stop talking nonsense and get going."

"Damn it, ugh!"

After grumbling for a moment, Pokoms obediently followed the other person toward the captain's cabin.

Meanwhile, the Thousand Sunny was still flying in the sky, but after flying a certain distance, it was about to land.

"Quick, prepare for the second shot!" Nami shouted. "Don't give them a chance to catch up with us!"

At this point, Nami dared not underestimate the pursuit ability of the Four Emperors, so it was better to use the three Wind Cannons in succession.

The others naturally understood this as well, so without any further words, they immediately followed Nami's orders and got to work.

"Wind Cannon, fire!"

"boom!!"

Just before the Thousand Sunny was about to land, the Wind Cannon fired again, and the pirate ship took off, rushing rapidly into the distant sky.

And so, after three consecutive bursts, the Thousand Sunny surged forward a great distance, leaving the Big Mom Pirate Ship far behind.

"We can't let our guard down yet," Sanji shouted. "They could catch up at any moment."

"But we can't see them anymore," Brooke said.

Brooke carefully observed the rear of the Thousand Sunny and did not see any suspicious targets, which meant that they had completely shaken off the enemy.

"Who knows if they have any special pursuit methods?" Sanji said in a deep voice, "Like Caesar's Vivre Card or something."

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the people present all changed.

If the other party really possesses Caesar's Vivre Card, then they will have no chance of shaking him off.

After all, that thing can always guide the Vivre Card owner in the right direction!

"Then let's just kill him," Nami said with a stern face.

While keeping this guy alive would indeed be a good bargaining chip, if that chip could threaten them, then there's no need to keep him alive; just kill him.

"I agree."

Brooke nodded; this was indeed the optimal solution at present.

"No, wait a minute!"

Caesar, whose life was once again threatened, immediately jumped to his feet and exclaimed excitedly, "I can guarantee that I haven't had my Vivre Card made!"

How can you prove it?

"Did you take advantage of me because I'm some kind of Devil Fruit user?" Caesar quickly explained, "I'm a Logia-type Gas-Gas Fruit user!"

"No one can get my body tissue unless I want to."

After saying that, Caesar paused for a moment, then continued, "Besides, when I was dealing with these guys, I paid special attention to this issue, just in case they got my hair, then I would be completely ruined."

Once the other person obtains his hair, they can use it to create a Life Card.

In this way... he had absolutely no way to escape the other party's pursuit.

So he had paid attention to this issue when he first started working with them.

Of course, BIG MOM initially had objections, but since the giantification experiment could only be conducted by herself, the other party had no choice but to compromise.

And that's why he was able to leave there smoothly.

"That's good." Sanji breathed a sigh of relief.

As long as they don't have a life card, they can easily shake off their opponent.

Nami looked at Caesar with a look of utter disdain and said, "So you were planning to lie from the very beginning, huh?"

Although they were deceiving their enemy this time, Nami still despised Caesar's behavior.

This guy is really something else.

"What do you know?" Caesar suddenly became agitated, saying, "If I didn't do this, I would definitely be killed by Big Mom!"

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Brooke asked curiously, "Why do you say that?"

BIG MOM asked Caesar to do something that he, as a scientist, is most good at, right? In this situation... would the other party have murderous intentions?

We can't just kill them after they've finished their experiment.

The Four Emperors are not so petty as to lack even this much magnanimity.

"Because what they asked me to do was simply impossible to complete!" Caesar scratched his head and said, "How can a normal human grow to such a gigantic size!"

Even the drugs he used in various experiments could not possibly turn a human into a giant.

As for the children in Punk Hazard?

Although their bodies have become gigantic, their lifespans have been greatly reduced, so strictly speaking, this experiment was a failure.

"You mean that experiment at Punk Hazard?" Chopper, who had just come up from underground, immediately turned angry and said, "So Big Mom made you do that experiment?!"

Just to find a way to turn humans into giants, they used those poor children for human experiments?

"Well... this..."

""

Caesar looked away and said, "Actually, after I left, there was no need to do those kinds of experiments anymore, but to prevent Big Mom from causing me trouble, I still had the Joker help me propose the conditions for escaping the experiment."

"asshole!"

Nami roared, "You deserve to die!"

As she spoke, Nami flashed to Caesar's side and punched him hard.

"bump!"

With one punch, Caesar was punched so hard that a big bump appeared on his head.

"I was just trying to finish it!" Caesar shouted. "What did I do wrong?"

"Oh."

Nami sneered, then said, "Why don't we just kill him?"

"I think it's okay."

"no problem.

""

"Kill him!"

"No!"

Seeing the four people with icy killing intent in their eyes, Caesar quickly shouted, "I am an important bargaining chip, a chip that can be used to deal with Doflamingo and Big Mom!"

"Don't kill me!!!"
