One Piece: The Emperor-Level Item Master Shocks the World

Usopp, having also noticed the connection, immediately spoke up:

"So, if we follow this route from Enies Lobby, we won't be able to reach Marine Headquarters or Impel Down at all?"

Upon hearing this, Iceberg nodded.

"That's right, unless you can get on a ship that goes directly to the Navy Headquarters, but that's practically impossible."

Upon hearing this, Lei Luo fell into deep thought.

According to the original story, Luffy boarded the ship of the female pirate empress, which is why he ended up in Impel Down.

But the Pirate Empress should still be sailing somewhere else.

By the time they get to Judiciary Island, it will be too late, and the tragedy will repeat itself.

Thinking of this, Lei Luo spoke directly:

"Let's continue sailing along the original route. I'll find a way to take you to Impel Down when the time comes."

Upon hearing this, the Straw Hat crew looked at Lei Luo with firm eyes and then nodded.

They had absolute trust in Lei Luo.

I would never doubt Lei Luo's words.

However, Lei Luo himself was somewhat apprehensive.

Because this voyage requires a certain amount of luck.

If we could obtain a portal or a time machine during our voyage, we might be able to travel directly to Marine Headquarters or Impel Down.

But if we can't acquire these things on this voyage, then all these days will have been wasted.

Thinking of this, Lei Luo couldn't help but sigh.

Just then, Luffy jumped up excitedly and said:

"Then what are we waiting for? Let's hurry up and start the banquet!"

Upon hearing that a banquet was being held, the Straw Hat crew were all extremely excited and immediately jumped up.

Seeing their happy expressions, Zoro yawned and said:

"I really can't do anything with you guys. I'm going to go to the blacksmith shop nearby to buy a weapon. I'll come back to find you later."

Upon hearing this, Sanji dropped the cigarette he was about to light and shouted:

"Hey, Zoro, don't do anything rash! Find someone to go with you!"

Upon hearing this, Zoro frowned, then turned around and said with a resentful expression:

"What did you say, you stinking cook!"

Upon hearing this, Sanji turned his head directly to Zoro's and said with a contorted expression:

"I told you, if you go alone, you won't come back, you green algae head!"

As they spoke, the two began to argue again.

Seeing this, Nami sighed.

He then glanced at Usopp and said:

"Hey, Usopp, I'm giving you a chance to redeem yourself. Go with Zoro to buy weapons."

Upon hearing this, Usopp angrily replied:

"Hey, there's no need to emphasize the phrase 'atone for one's crimes'!"

Upon hearing Nami's words, Zoro suddenly realized that he didn't seem to have any money to buy a sword.

He spent all the pocket money he earned on alcohol and couldn't save any of it.

Thinking of this, Zoro simply pushed Sanji aside.

He then walked up to Nami, extended a hand, and said coldly:

"Hey, Nami, give me some money, I need to buy a knife."

Hearing this, Nami gritted her teeth, then punched Zoro on the head and said:

"Hey, is this how you ask for money?!"

Zoro clutched the large bump on his head, his eyes trembling.

At that moment, Nami simply took out 20,000 Berries and said:

"I'll charge you interest on this money at a rate of 20%, so remember to pay it back, Zoro."

Upon hearing this, Zoro took the money, gritting his teeth as he said:

"You woman, remember this!"

With that, Zoro, looking menacing, turned and left with 20,000 Berries.

Chapter 429 The banquet begins, and Garp arrives in pursuit!

While 20,000 Berries won't buy you a decent knife, it'll do for now.

As a three-sword style user, he couldn't unleash his full potential with just two swords.

Usopp quickly followed, even though he really wanted to go to the party with Luffy and the others.

But if Zoro were to get lost, that would also be a problem.

Sure enough, Zoro's path had already veered off course before he had taken more than a few steps.

If it weren't for the waterways blocking the way, Zoro would have already circled back by now.

Seeing this, Usopp sighed, feeling that his future was bleak.

After Zoro and the others left, Luffy excitedly said:

"Alright, it's getting late, let's go back and hold the banquet."

After Luffy finished speaking, the Straw Hat crew, and even the people of Water 7, cheered and jumped for joy.

They then went to the Carrera company's swimming pool and began preparing for the banquet.

The tools and ingredients needed for the banquet have been basically prepared.

Seeing this, Sanji put on an apron and started cooking.

Luffy waited by the stove, and Sanji would cook a dish, and Luffy would eat one dish.

Sanji spent half the day working, but not a single dish was served.

Sanji, unable to bear it any longer, stomped on Luffy's head.

"Hey, Luffy, don't be so rude! Just you wait!"

Luffy, clutching the large bump on his head, simply raised one hand and said:

"Yes, I'm sorry..."

After Luffy left, Sanji could finally focus on cooking.

But no matter how fast Sanji serves the food, he can't keep up with Luffy's gaping maw.

Fortunately, Water Seven brought in several more chefs, which helped them get things sorted out.

As one delicious dish after another was placed on the table,

The Straw Hat crew immediately launched into a food fight.

Chopper was eliminated by Luffy with a single punch while fighting over a plate of vegetables.

Upon seeing this scene, Nami couldn't help but burst into a bright smile.

……

the other side.

Usopp and Zoro are still looking for a blacksmith shop.

However, Zoro's navigation system malfunctioned again; he would walk back and forth three times at a simple fork in the road.

This left Usopp completely exhausted, both physically and mentally.

After wandering around and around, we ended up at the seaside again.

Usopp, unable to contain himself any longer, roared angrily:

"Hey, Zoro, that's enough! If this keeps up, we'll never be able to go back!"

Upon hearing Usopp's words, Zoro tilted his head and said:

"Huh? You mean I caused this?"

Upon hearing this, Usopp was on the verge of tears.

What do you think?

As soon as Usopp finished speaking, he looked straight at the sea, which was shrouded in clouds and mist.

In the distance, a fleet of ships could be seen sailing directly toward the Water City.

Upon seeing this, Usopp immediately screamed.

"Oh no, oh no, something terrible has happened!"

At this moment, Zoro also spotted the ship's tracks. He instinctively shielded his eyes from the sunlight and mumbled sleepily, "..."

"So many boats! Are they fishing boats?"

Upon hearing this, Usopp punched Zoro on the head and shouted:

"Please wake up! This is a navy ship!"

Zoro only came to his senses after hearing Usopp's words.

"What did you say? Why didn't you say so sooner? We should tell Luffy and the others quickly."

After saying that, Zoro turned and ran, but just as he was about to enter the entrance, his body suddenly veered off course, running straight around the edge of Water 7.

Upon seeing this, Usopp knelt down, tears welling up in his eyes.
