Konoha: I am Uzumaki Naruto, my comprehension is against the sky

"Anyone who dares to challenge us will only die!"

They were not afraid of the powerful enemy and fought fiercely with the soldiers without retreating.

The battle between Usopp and Sanji attracted more and more people, and residents gathered near the Cliff City.

They expressed their support and admiration for the Straw Hat Pirates with applause and cheers.

When Usopp and Sanji stopped to rest, a young resident came up and patted them on the shoulder.

"You guys are amazing! We've never seen such a spectacular battle! You are the real heroes in our hearts!"

he said excitedly.

Other residents also praised the Straw Hat Pirates and expressed their desire to be free from the rule of the World Government.

"We have had enough of this oppression. We need a brave and determined force like you to protect us!"

an elderly resident said angrily.

Usopp looked at Sanji with a little surprise, and they nodded in tacit understanding.

Usopp turned to the residents, a sincere and determined smile on his face.

"Thank you for your support! But I want to emphasize that we are not here to conquer you, but to fight with you! Our goal as the Straw Hat Pirates is to fight for freedom and justice, and to help those who have been treated unfairly!"

Sanji gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes determined.

"Yes, we long for freedom just like you do. The World Government cannot suppress our will forever! We must unite and resist them together!"

The residents nodded in praise, expressed their gratitude to the Straw Hat Pirates, and promised to provide support in secret.

At this time, an old man came forward.

"Young people, please accept our help. Although we are old, we still have a lot of wisdom and experience to contribute to you."

Sanji turned to face the residents.

"Thank you very much! Your support is very important to us. Let us break free from the shackles of the World Government and create a better and freer world!"

Luffy, Zoro and Nami came to the Star Sea, where they planned their next move on a small boat.

The breeze from the sea blew across their cheeks. The three of them stood on the deck, looking at the doldrums in the distance.

"Nami, do you think the Calm Belt is our best chance to escape the World Government?"

Luffy asked, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.

Nami thought for a moment and nodded.

"Yes, the Calm Belt is an ideal place. The World Government's warships are unable to move due to the lack of wind. We can use this opportunity to escape their pursuit."

Chapter 271 3 Zoro drew his three swords and said with a determined look.

"We can use this opportunity to set a trap and capture the leader of the World Government who has been keeping us suppressed!"

Luffy gave a smile that was firm and full of determination.

"That's right! We have to let them know that the Straw Hat Pirates are not so easy to deal with!" The three began to discuss how to set traps in the doldrums.

They discussed what tasks each person would be responsible for and plotted a plan to defeat the World Government.

Nami took out a map, pointed to an area in the doldrums, and proposed a detailed and thorough plan.

"Zoro, you will be responsible for laying traps on the seabed. We can lure the World Government's fleet there. I will prepare gunpowder barrels at the stern and blow them up once they take the bait!"

Nami said excitedly.

Zoro brandished his sword, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes.

Chapter 272 A profound and unforgettable lesson

"Don't worry, I will prepare all the necessary equipment and weapons. This time we will teach those guys a profound and unforgettable lesson!"

Luffy clenched his fists, a strong fighting spirit surging in his heart.

"We will succeed! No matter how powerful the World Government becomes, we will not be defeated by them!"

The three of them looked at each other in tacit understanding, and saw that there was a firm and determined light in each other's eyes.

As night fell, the sounds of lively conversation in the Starry Sea emanated from the small boat.

Luffy, Zoro and Nami were filled with anticipation and excitement.

Until the starry night fell, the Straw Hat Pirates continued to discuss their upcoming plan closely.

Standing on the beach of Echo Island, they gazed at the boundless horizon in the distance, all with determined and nervous expressions.

"How can we use the echo effect to hide the real action?"

Luffy asked solemnly as he glanced at his fellow Straw Hat Pirates.

Nami hesitated for a moment, then began to explain.

"The echo effect is caused by the island's shape and the flow of the sea. When you fire back at the enemy from the right location, false audio feedback will appear. We can use this effect to create false information and mislead the 10th World Government."

Zoro grabbed the sword that he had placed beside him, staring at it and speaking without hesitation.

"Then we can choose to create a siege. I will set traps at sea and use the echo effect to create false warships, sounds, and signals. The enemy will be thrown into confusion."

Luffy smiled and nodded, feeling everyone gradually focusing their attention for the upcoming battle, and then he suggested.

"We need to flexibly distribute ambush points in various corners of Echo Island. This way, no matter which direction the enemy attacks from, they will be outflanked and attacked by the Straw Hat Pirates."

The Straw Hat Pirates finalized their action plan through repeated discussions and careful planning.

Everyone has a clear division of labor and performs their duties.

It's daytime.

Sunlight rained down on Echo Island, bringing with it a warm and refreshing breeze.

The Straw Hat Pirates boarded the boat one after another and sailed confidently towards the edge of the doldrums.

When they arrived at their destination, Luffy suggested that they stop and find a calm and deep sea to set a trap.

Finally, we anchored in front of a bay that looked ordinary but had a long history.

Nami gently stroked this land that had experienced the vicissitudes of history but was still magnificent, and could not hide her deep emotion for Echo Island.

"Echo Island is called Echo Island because it has a magical and special echo effect. Every call can resonate in this sea for a long time."

Zoro stared off into the distance, gazing at the boundless ocean.

"Because of this special effect, we can use it to increase our combat power."

After some exploration, they found an ideal location.

The Straw Hat Pirates stood on the beach and began setting traps.

Zoro secretly planned the ambush point and quickly dived into the water to set it up.

He expertly rolled, hid, and moved in the dark to ensure the trap was flawless.

Nami took out a notebook and pen and drew the specific location of each ambush point and the corresponding blockade range on the map.

She mapped every nook and cranny with precision and developed detailed plans for each ambush point.

Luffy observed the whole process, sometimes giving instructions and sometimes correcting them.

He knew that the World Government would once again launch a relentless hunt for the Straw Hat Pirates, so he had to ensure that every facility was impeccable.

Through well-organized and unparalleled collaboration, the Straw Hat Pirates quickly completed all the arrangements.

They stood on the shore, looking at the sea that seemed calm but was full of undercurrents.

When the Straw Hat Pirates finished their arrangements, they decided to take a break and wait for nightfall before taking action again.

They found a shady spot under a tree and sat down, feeling the cool breeze on their cheeks.

Naruto looked around and saw a small village not far away.

He asked curiously.

"Where is this place? Why is it so remote?"

An old woman slowly approached them, with a hint of sadness and fatigue on her face.

"This is Storm Island. We residents have always lived in poverty. Due to the frequent attacks of bandits and the oppression of the World Government, we are unable to live a stable and prosperous life."

Luffy frowned, his mood growing heavy.

He turned to his companions and said.

"We had just created chaos and were about to leave, but we didn't realize there were people right in front of us who needed help."

Naruto felt the guilt and anxiety revealed in Luffy's words. He walked to the old woman and comforted her softly.

"Auntie, we can help you. What kind of assistance do you need?"

The old woman showed gratitude on her face and held Naruto's hand tightly.

"We are lacking many basic necessities and food is very scarce. If you can help us solve our problems, we will be forever grateful."

Zoro said angrily.

"These damned bandits and the World Government are actually bullying the common people like this! Aren't they afraid of retribution? I absolutely must prevent pirates from invading this island again in the future!"

Luffy smiled and patted Zoro's shoulder.

"Zoro, we will help them out of this predicament. This is also our responsibility as the Straw Hat Pirates."

So the Straw Hat Pirates started working closely with the residents on the island.

Naruto and Luffy led everyone to build simple shelters and warehouses, and provided supplies to the residents.

Zoro began training, setting up wooden stakes and attack models around the village.

He demonstrated his sword skills with great agility and patiently taught the residents how to defend themselves.

The distressed residents gradually regained their hope and courage, and they looked at the Straw Hat Pirates with gratitude.

During their time with the villagers, the Straw Hat Pirates witnessed firsthand the hardships and difficulties of their lives.

They realized that their mission was not only to fight against the World Government and pirates, but more importantly to provide necessary help and support to those in distress.

Naruto and Luffy decided to stay on the island for a while. They not only continued to help the residents improve their living conditions, but also actively organized the residents to develop their own economy and get rid of poverty.

Zoro led the villagers in anti-pirate training and established their own guard team.

After leaving Storm Island, the Straw Hat Pirates continued their voyage and entered the Ghost Channel.

This is a mysterious and dangerous place, shrouded in fog and haunted by countless ghost ships.

Usopp and Tasha stood at the bow, trying their best to find the normal route and guide the ship through the fog.

The Straw Hat Pirates behind him stared around nervously, ready for battle.

Chapter 273 Ghost Ship

Usopp thought about his strategy.

"This ghost channel doesn't look friendly. We can only rely on our intuition and experience to avoid possible dangers."

Tasha bit her lip hard.

"Everyone must remain vigilant! This place is full of unknown threats."

Suddenly, a ghost ship came rapidly towards the Straw Hat Pirates.

Naruto immediately unleashed his jutsu.

"Hokage Jutsu!"

A bolt of fire struck the ghost ship like lightning, burning it to ashes in an instant.

Luffy asked.

"Is everyone okay?"

"fine!"

Despite the immense threat, Zoro replied firmly.

Just as Usopp was about to give the order to continue moving forward, another ghost ship rushed over.

Usopp immediately ordered.

"Attention all crew members! Concentrate your firepower and bombard that ghost ship!"
