The CP organization possessed the Gum-Gum Fruit for a period of time, but it was lost for unknown reasons.

"Alright, the Red-Haired Pirates' motives for staying in Windmill Village have suddenly turned into conspiracy theories," Miss Fox remarked.

"The reason for the unexplained stay of a year was probably to give the Gum-Gum Fruit to Ace, so that Ace could eat this fruit that even the World Government feared. But unexpectedly, Luffy ate it instead."

Also, before Luffy ate the Devil Fruit, Shanks was against Luffy's idea of ​​becoming a pirate, but after he ate it, he seemed to be deliberately guiding Luffy in that direction.

Okay, this is hindsight analysis; just stick to conspiracy theories.jpg

A common problem with long-running comics is that once the later settings are added, many things from the earlier parts start to feel off upon reflection.

This is probably a growing pain; we can't see things as simply as we did when we were children.

"In short, it's clear that there's a problem with the Gum-Gum Fruit. Whether Shanks has a problem is debatable. Let's go back to where you were born and see how little Luffy is doing there."

Ordinary Devil Fruits contain a will, but the Gum-Gum Fruit, which is so obviously self-willed that even the World Government doubts its existence, is extremely dangerous no matter how you look at it.

If Luffy eats this at such a young age, won't he be reborn by having his body transferred to his body?

If that's the case, then no matter what kind of education is given to young Luffy, it will be useless. How can a child whose values ​​haven't even been formed yet compare to the unknown will hidden within the Devil Fruit, which is at least a thousand years old?

Regardless of whether it is true or not, Miss Fox thinks it's best to go over there first and erase the will within that rubber fruit.

"Mao Yu, open the door quickly!"

"???" Mao Yu typed out a string of question marks, asking her to open the door?

When did she learn to open doors and travel through time? How come she didn't know?

"Hey, the group time travel function! Didn't I tell you? You can use the return function to go directly back to your birth world!"

Are you sure you told me that?

Chapter 977 The Rebel Army in One Piece?

East Blue, Goa Kingdom, Windmill Village.

Mao Yu was filled with emotion as he stepped onto this land again, realizing that he had returned to the world he had first traveled to.

Finally, we're back on our home turf. Most of my interpersonal relationships since the transmigration are here.

"Let's go to the Goa Kingdom's naval base to find Luffy," Mao Yu said, pointing in a direction.

She had previously put Luffy in the military camp to train him and help him build relationships with the Marines.

In action-packed manga, bonds are always the most effective way to change a person.

"Then doesn't Mom need to take her clothes off?" Celine asked.

It refers to the Mebius suit that Miss Fox is still wearing; the snake tail is so scary, isn't it?

However, Miss Fox waved her hand, "It's One Piece, so it's normal for characters to be strangely shaped~"

Mao Yu nodded in agreement.

After all, it's One Piece, with so many different kinds of Devil Fruits, it's quite normal for them to be strange and unusual.

Moreover, even with Miss Fox's smug expression on her face, the Lolita version of Mebius is much more pleasing to the eye.

Well, she's not a lolicon; it's just that loli faces don't look so sleazy.

"Anyway, don't think too much about the One Piece world, little bug~"

Miss Fox shrugged, threw a punch forward, and with a loud bang, space shattered, and the door leading to Luffy's naval base opened.

"This way of opening the door is really crude..." Mebius complained.

The ingenious energy control and the simple, crude way of opening the door are a stark contrast.

Mebius found it strange that he always had to throw a punch in such an affected way when he could open a spatial portal with just a thought.

Does it have a sense of ritual?

"Don't worry about the details..."

"I must set sail! Find amazing crewmates and become the Pirate King!!"

The child's exasperated voice interrupted Miss Fox's speech.

They exchanged a glance and understood each other. They quickly headed towards the source of the sound and found that it was indeed Luffy.

At this moment, Luffy was standing on a wooden barrel, his little face flushed red, full of defiance, while Nami stood beside him looking at him with worry, and the surrounding marines all looked helpless.

Mao Yu frowned and stepped forward to intervene, "What happened?"

The naval soldier's eyes lit up when he saw Mao Yu, and he immediately saluted her.

"Luffy has been talking about becoming a pirate lately, and he's even tried to steal a ship and go to sea."

"Sister Mao Yu!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly upon seeing Mao Yu. "I've made up my mind! I'm going to become the Pirate King! Sister Mao Yu, be my crewmate!"

Mao Yu was stunned for a moment, looking at Luffy's lively appearance, which showed none of the bewilderment he had shown after being introduced to real pirates.

She hasn't been away from here for long, so what happened?

Mao Yu glanced at the naval soldiers gathered there, but quickly looked away, as they were unlikely to know the specifics.

"Sister Mao Yu, you're finally back!"

Fortunately, Nami is still there.

After the Cocoyasi Village incident, Nami spent most of her time playing with Luffy. Since the Tamamo-no-Mae was there and the location was a Marine base, Bellemere agreed to it.

This makes Nami the person who knows Luffy's situation best.

"Luffy's been acting a bit strange these past few days, I can't quite put my finger on it..."

Mao Yu frowned and looked at Miss Fox.

But then I heard this scoundrel actually calculating how rich Cocoa Village is!

The Arlong Pirates demanded a ransom of 100,000 Berries for adults and 50,000 Berries for children every month, but Cocoyasi Village managed to maintain this for ten years without many people dying because they couldn't afford it.

Judging from the number of people attending the final banquet, the population of Cocoa West Village is at least several hundred.

This amount, which amounts to tens of millions of Berries each month, would be enough to buy Dressrosa from Doflamingo in about a year.

Aside from the Golden Emperor, no one is richer than Cocoyasi Village!

"Is this the important point!?"

“That’s certainly not the point!” Miss Fox replied matter-of-factly.

However, Miss Fox knew what to do now, so instead of arguing with Mao Yu, she went to Luffy.

After thinking for a moment, he simply placed one hand on Luffy's forehead and pressed down hard!

"Ouch!" Luffy immediately cried out.

Then I realized it didn't seem to hurt that much; the pain I felt just now was like an illusion, gone in an instant.

But Luffy's demeanor has subtly changed, becoming more natural.

Miss Fox asked, "Luffy, you've grown up. Do you want to become a pirate, or something else?"

Luffy looked up blankly, his eyes filled with confusion.

Finally, he just blankly replied, "I...don't want to become one of those pirates..."

He paused suddenly, glanced at Nami and the surrounding Marines.

The blank look in his eyes gradually cleared up.

He answered firmly, "I don't want to be a pirate!"

"Yes," Miss Fox nodded.

He said to Mao Yu, "This is normal."

Now, it makes sense why Luffy remained unchanged after seeing firsthand what real pirates were like in the original story.

After experiencing so much, everyone will change to some extent.

But Luffy is different. He has never changed, just like when he set sail, from beginning to end.

"As expected, power comes at a price, and the price is not just being hated by the sea and seastone."

Miss Fox shook her head and sighed.

Sirin, however, was somewhat puzzled. "Why does this Nika Fruit keep influencing its host to become a pirate and eventually the Pirate King?"

Miss Fox thought for a moment and said, "This is probably directly related to why the World Government is wary of the Gum-Gum Fruit."

If you want to stay away from the World Government, then becoming a pirate is the best option, isn't it?

There is.

"The World Government's greatest enemy 800 years ago was probably the owner of the Nika Fruit."

Perhaps, the will within a Devil Fruit isn't entirely unchangeable.

The world of One Piece has never lacked those with strong wills.

It's not impossible to reverse the situation and take control of the consciousness within a Devil Fruit, engraving one's own will into the Devil Fruit.

The defeated spirit from 800 years ago was unwilling to accept defeat, so it corrupted the Devil Fruit, allowing its own will to take over, waiting for an opportunity to turn the tables and fight again.

This kind of plot isn't unfamiliar.

Miss Fox shrugged and spread her hands. "But I think if the world needs a thief to save it, then the world might as well destroy itself."

“Indeed,” Mao Yu nodded in agreement.

No matter what happens to the people, they don't need a thief to save them.

"But the revolution in One Piece can't really be considered a revolution at all..."

“People from island nations can’t understand the meaning of revolution. At best, they just use the name of justice to replace the top leadership.”

Anyway, I didn't see any superior system in the resistance.

In the end, the only result would be a change of people to serve as the world government, and even if successful, it would be completely meaningless.
