In the original story, Zoro trains relentlessly, while Luffy only knows how to play. In the end, when his crew is scattered, all he can do is cry.
"Why are you giving up so easily?" Martin asked.
"I won't give up. I'm determined to become the Pirate King. But you're too strong. Can you give me back my straw hat first? When I'm strong enough, I'll come back and defeat you," Luffy said earnestly.
"That won't do. Now that you've made up your mind, you have to keep your word and defeat me to return the straw hat to you. However, considering how weak you are, I can make a compromise. I'll return the straw hat to you once you become the Adventure King."
After hearing Martin's words, Luffy said firmly, "I will not become the King of Adventure. I am going to become the Pirate King."
“That’s such a pity. I’ve already decided that I will award the hat to the King of Adventure.” Martin then stood up.
"Damn it, wait a minute, I'm going to become the King of Adventurers! What will it take for you to become the King of Adventurers?" Luffy had no choice but to decide to become the King of Adventurers first.
"Becoming the King of Adventures is simple. Just go to the Temple of Good and Evil to collect stamps. Every time you go to a place and pass the Temple of Good and Evil's test, you will receive a stamp. Once you collect eight stamps, you can go to the Sabaody Archipelago to participate in the King of Adventures selection. The first place winner is the King of Adventures," Martin said.
"This looks interesting. I'm determined to become the King of Adventurers. You keep my straw hat safe. I'll become the King of Adventurers and then get my straw hat back," Luffy said confidently.
“That’s good. I’ll take you back first, and then I’ll wait for you in the Sabaody Archipelago,” Martin said with a smile.
"Just you wait, I'll soon become the King of Adventure and then get my straw hat back," Luffy said, pouting.
"Let's go! What are you still doing?" Martin turned around and said. He was already standing next to the single-player version of the Harem Ship, while Luffy was still standing there dumbfounded.
Luffy arrived next to the solo version of the Harem Ship and curiously examined the strange object, climbing up and down repeatedly, trying to figure out what it was.
"What are you looking at? Do you even understand what you're looking at?" Martin kicked Luffy in the backside, sending him flying into the cabin.
"Hoohoo!"
The single-player version of the Harem ship slowly took off, then quickly ascended, flying towards Windmill Village.
"Wow, that's amazing! This ship is incredible! I wish I had one like that."
Luffy's eyes were glowing golden, and he was shouting as he ran around the cabin, touching and groping everything. The ship almost fell off the plane.
In the end, Martin had to use sea stone handcuffs to cuff Luffy again and lock him in the warehouse before things finally calmed down.
Adventure King Competition
The Temple of Good and Evil, which had been silent for a long time, suddenly began to promote a competition through all means: the first Adventure King Tournament. The prizes for the competition were particularly attractive, including not only Beli (a type of currency) and Devil Fruits, but most importantly, the first-place winner would receive the hat of the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger.
The preliminary rounds will run from May 5th to December 5th. During this period, any fleet that sets sail from the four seas, reaches the Sabaody Archipelago, and obtains at least eight stamps will be eligible to participate in the finals. The winner of the finals will become the Adventure King. The finals will test various skills including combat prowess, culinary skills, medical skills, swordsmanship, music, navigation, and meteorology.
The news of the Temple of Good and Evil caused a stir. Not only were there many people interested in participating from all over the world, but many people from the Grand Line also returned to the world.
The moment Shanks received the news, he knew that Luffy had been taken away by the Temple of Good and Evil. Since he had personally given Luffy the Straw Hat of the Pirate King, he was now worried about what the Temple of Good and Evil really meant.
Garp also knew about this. He knew the Straw Hat of One Piece all too well. It had always been worn on his grandson's head and was regarded as his most precious treasure. How could it possibly become a prize?
Garp immediately steered his dog-headed boat angrily toward the headquarters of the Temple of Good and Evil on Jaya Island.
"Martin, Martin, you bastard, come out here!" As soon as Karp arrived at Jaya Island, he rushed up alone and shouted.
"Who is it! How rude!" Upon hearing the shout, Martin immediately left the temple and flew towards the direction from which the sound came.
When Martin arrived, Karp was already surrounded, and Karp himself was sitting on the ground with his arms crossed, looking furious, as if someone owed him millions.
"Isn't this old man Garp? What brings you here? Are you thinking of leaving the Navy and joining my Temple of Good and Evil?" Martin said with a smile, gesturing for the others to leave.
"Martin, I haven't offended you, have I? Look at this, why is my grandson's straw hat in your possession, becoming a prize in some Adventure King competition? Where did my grandson go? What did you do to him?" Karp stood up and grabbed Martin's collar.
“Old man Garp, I don’t think you should be angry. You should thank me. I’ve put in a lot of effort to teach your grandson. You know your grandson is too weak, and I want to help him become stronger. I also know that you don’t want him to be a pirate, so I came up with a way to prevent him from being a pirate for the time being.”
Upon hearing Martin's words, Karp's expression did not improve; instead, he became even angrier and retorted, "How dare you say my grandson is weak? I personally trained him. Let me see how strong you really are!"
Being told by Martin that his grandson was weak was a sore point for Garp, but he didn't want to admit it, so he resorted to this unreasonable method.
"The Iron Fist of Love!"
Without a word, Garp attacked. Knowing that Martin was very strong, he went all out from the start, using all his powerful techniques.
“You unreasonable old man, do you think I’m afraid of you?” Martin greeted him without any politeness.
The roar continued, and the battle between Martin and Karp was extremely fierce. Fortunately, the scene was on Gaya Island; if it were elsewhere, the island would have sunk long ago.
No one knows the final outcome, only that Garp sailed away and Martin returned to the temple. Neither of them said a word about the win or loss, and Garp's face was bruised and battered.
"Captain, Luffy has set sail. He set sail today in a ship, but I don't think he'll live much longer. His ship is too big and could sink at any moment."
“You don’t need to worry about Monet. Rest assured, he will live a good life, and you can come back now. We’ll be waiting for him in the Sabaody Archipelago,” Martin said with a smile.
"Understood, Captain."
……
"Shanks, Luffy has set sail. I just watched him board the ship and leave, but I'm worried about whether he can fulfill his captain's last wish."
"What happened to Bucky that makes you have such a question?"
"Luffy actually went out to sea in a single boat. I don't know what he was thinking. Did he think he was going fishing? He's a Devil Fruit user."
"Alright Bucky, don't worry about him. Fate chose him. Don't worry, he'll be fine. Just follow him from a distance."
"Alright! Alright! Shanks, you're always right!"
After Luffy set sail, just as Shanks said, everything was arranged by fate. Although his experiences were different, he still found his crewmates. Nami, Zoro, Usopp, Sanji and other crew members all boarded his ship.
……
"Where are Luffy and the others?" Martin asked his secretary, Monet, as he sat in his office.
"We've just entered Moria's territory, Captain. Are you worried that Moria might kill them? Moria has been to the New World and even fought Kaido," Monet said worriedly. Although Luffy was unreliable, Monet liked this energetic young man very much.
“We’ve reached Moriah’s territory, and it looks like we’ll be at Sabaody Archipelago soon. Let’s pack up and head there.” Martin then stood up.
Martin brought a large group of people with him to the Sabaody Archipelago. Almost all the experts from the Temple of Good and Evil were mobilized. There was one animal that he didn't expect to want to go as well: Chopper.
Martin had already sent someone to bring the animal doctor to the sky island.
In recent years, it has been pampered with good food and drink, which has made it even lazier. It spends almost all its time eating and sleeping. What Martin can't understand is that it hasn't grown any bigger. It's still the same size as when it first came into this world, cute and lovable.
Moreover, Chopper's medical skills are amazing; he can diagnose and treat people with perfect accuracy every time.
Of course, Skypiea also features familiar characters such as Nami, Zoro, Sanji, and Kuina.
This is all a result of Martin's collecting obsession.
Of course, after gathering these people, Martin then assigned them to Luffy's side to help him achieve his dream, and used the Mirror Flower Water Moon technique to block their memories of him.
Everything is to see how Luffy develops in this pirate world that he himself beat up.
"Chopper, why do you also want to go to the Sabaody Archipelago? Isn't Gaya Island good enough?"
“Big brother, I’m tired of the food on Jaya Island. Since you have a cooking competition in the Adventure King Tournament, I can be a judge,” Chopper said seriously.
"Alright! You can come along too!" Martin could only nod in agreement. Chopper finally wanted to get some exercise, and even if it was just for food, he had no reason to disagree.
The massive Harem Ship slowly started moving. Since arriving on Jaya Island, the Harem Ship had been undergoing modifications by Hades and had never left since. This departure was the first in several years.
Of course, the modifications to Hades have been largely completed. The current Harem is no longer what it used to be, and it is even equipped with the Hades Cannon.
"My Lord, Martin's ship has left Gaya Island and should be heading to the Sabaody Archipelago."
Not long after Martin and his group left, the Five Elders' intelligence agents reported their departure. During this time, the World Government had not relaxed its surveillance of Jaya Island.
With the Adventure King Tournament approaching, the already bustling Sabaody Archipelago has become even more lively, and accommodation has become the biggest problem. Fortunately, some people came by boat, while most came by sea train. Once on the island, they need to find hotels, but there are too many people and the hotels simply cannot meet the demand. This has led to the emergence of many tent dwellers in Sabaody Archipelago who live in tents.
The original illegal zones 1-29 were occupied by the Temple of Good and Evil and became an important base of the temple. The Adventure King Tournament is held here. In order to prevent Tree Island from being destroyed, a huge arena was specially built on the sea. Competitions such as cooking and medicine are held on Tree Island, while fighting and martial arts competitions are held on the huge arena.
December 5th finally arrived, and today was the last day to register for the competition. Martin looked at the registration form, but Luffy and his crew's names were not on it. This made him wonder if something had happened on the way, or if they had been defeated by Moria and failed Moria's test.
"Haha, we've finally arrived! Is this the Sabaody Archipelago? It's so big and beautiful!"
Luffy shouted and eagerly ran off the ship, followed slowly by Zoro, Sanji, and the others.
"where are you going!"
Nami grabbed Luffy, but although Luffy's hand was right in front of him, he had already run quite a distance.
"Nami, look! What's that? It looks so fun! I want to try it too!" Luffy pointed to the bubble lane floating in the air.
"Oh!"
Nami raised her hand and struck Luffy on the head, instantly causing a large bump to appear on his head.
"Luffy, look at the date! If we hadn't been scrambling around on the way, we might have arrived much earlier. Don't be late, or we won't be able to participate in the Adventure King competition. My Beri, my treasure, all gone!" Nami pointed at Luffy's head, exasperated.
"Adventure King, Adventure King Nami, let's join the competition quickly! If I can't become the Adventure King, I'll never find my straw hat again. How can I become the Pirate King if I can't find my straw hat?" Luffy suddenly remembered why he came to Sabaody Archipelago.
"To all participating teams, there are four hours left until the registration deadline. Teams that wish to participate in the finals, please register as soon as possible."
"To all participating teams, there are four hours left until the registration deadline. Teams that wish to participate in the finals, please register as soon as possible."
……
The broadcast began repeatedly announcing the deadline; there were only four hours left until the final registration deadline.
"Luffy, hurry! There are only four hours left. Let's go register quickly!" Nami said excitedly. There was still time; there were still four hours left, plenty of time.
"Okay, I'll go sign up right now." Luffy snatched the stamped registration form from Nami's hand, then stretched out his hand and flew towards the direction from which the voice came.
"Wait, Luffy! Do you know where to register?" Nami shouted, but Luffy had already vanished without a trace.
Nami gritted her teeth, stomped her foot in exasperation, and then said to the people behind her, "None of you are allowed to leave. We're going to the registration point right now."
Nami knew very well that her team had many foodies, even more directionally challenged individuals, and one infatuated girl who, if not kept in sight, would be impossible to find during the competition.
"Yes, Nami-nee! I will stay by your side forever, never leaving your side," Sanji floated up and said excitedly.
Robin took the book down and kept smiling; she really enjoyed the atmosphere.
"Green algae head, where are you going?!"
With Sanji's shout, everyone realized that Zoro had actually walked in another direction.
"Alright, you two, stop arguing!"
Nami clenched her fists and punched Sanji and Zoro once each.
Nami truly lived up to her reputation as the top fighter in the Civil War. Under her punches, Sanji and Zoro quickly developed large bumps on their heads, making them howl in pain.
"Nami-nee, it was clearly that directionally challenged guy who got lost. I kindly called him over, so why did you hit me too?"
"Hmph! You lecherous chef, how could I be lost? I was just looking at the scenery. You guys are so close to me, how could I possibly be lost?"
"Bang bang bang!"
Sanji and Zoro started fighting again before they could even exchange two words. These two are naturally incompatible; whenever they're together, they're either arguing or fighting.
