Comparing the two Luffies, this Luffy is so cool!

【Luffy felt confused~】

[But this kind of thing is really a bit too ridiculous...]

He immediately shook his head, dismissing this absurd thought from his mind.

[At this moment... the sea king being riddled by the Merry also happened to sneeze...]

【A-choo!!】

[Merry immediately slid down his long face to the sea surface below~~~]

"Ah~~~" Nami screamed in surprise, caught off guard. Then, realizing something, she quickly shouted, "As soon as the Merry hits the sea, everyone row as hard as they can!!!"

【"good!!!"】

[At this time, it is absolutely impossible for anyone to refuse Nami's proposal~]

[However, the moment the Merry slipped out from under the nose of this sea king, Luffy jumped up! ! ! ]

[Leaving the deck of the Merry~~~]

"Luffy!!!" Everyone exclaimed...

However, Luffy didn't answer. Instead, he stretched out his limbs like a chain on a helicopter and instantly grabbed the four hooks on the hull of the Merry!

【Then, he took a deep breath!!!】

[“Rubber-Rubber Hot Air Balloon!!——”]

The surrounding air seemed to rush into Luffy's stomach like seawater encountering a whirlpool.

His belly suddenly turned into a rubber balloon bigger than the Merry...

[At the same time, the surface of the belly is covered with Armament Haki~]

Under the gaze of dozens of giant sea kings, the Merry hot air balloon drifted towards Mount Levis.

Capone Bege: "Ah~ No way!!! Is this even possible??? His fruit ability is too tricky!"

Kid Eustace: "And it changes form..."

Roronoa Zoro: "Um..., when can we enjoy a Luffy-style hot air balloon ride here?"

Franky: "Don't even think about it. The Thousand Sunny is too big. Even if Luffy blows up his belly, he can't achieve that buoyancy~~~"

Tony Tony Chopper: "Ah..., there's nothing we can do..."

【Under the blue sky and white clouds~】

The Merry hot air balloon flew directly to the entrance of Mount Levis before slowly landing on the sea.

Luffy and his crew looked back and saw that the sea kings were slowly sinking.

"Luffy, what you did just now was too dangerous! Flying so brazenly in front of so many Sea Kings, they have countless opportunities to eat us!!!"

[Nami said with lingering fear.]

Sanji nodded repeatedly, "Yes, Luffy! In the situation just now, we should have waited until the Merry fell into the sea, and then used the cover of the waves to quickly escape."

"Yes, hot air balloons are comfortable, but they're too risky!" Usopp said.

Luffy smiled and said, "Actually... I just had a strange feeling that those sea kings didn't have any ill will towards us. And the facts also proved that they didn't attack us~~~"

Usopp was stunned: "Hey, hey, hey!!! This is a good result!! If you guessed 5.7 and were wrong... then we're doomed~~~"

Sanji took a deep breath and said, "That's right, Luffy. That was too risky!"

"I'm sorry, guys... I made you worried..."

【Luffy apologizes sincerely~~~】

He then gestured towards the bow of the Merry and smiled faintly, "But... I also promised the Merry that as long as I'm alive, I'll never let her come to any harm~~~"

[Hearing this, Usopp and Sanji's faces were stunned!!!]

【yes...】

[They were just so scared that they only thought about the safety of the people on the boat~~~]

[But where's the Merry...?]

[Falling from such a height onto the sea, it wouldn't break apart, but the force of that drop would surely have dealt a significant blow to the Merry! !]

[What's more, Luffy's actions not only allowed them to escape the Sea King-type area safely, but also prevented the Merry from being damaged...]

【Judging from the results, Luffy's approach was right! 】

Usopp looks guilty: "Luffy, I should be the one saying sorry... I'm sorry!"

"And me! I didn't consider the Merry. I'm so sorry!!!" Sanji glanced at the edge of the Merry and shouted in a deep voice.

Nami also pursed her lips: "Luffy..., I'm sorry..."

"Ahahaha!!! What are you all doing? In that situation, you're definitely not wrong to prioritize your friends' safety!!!"

"But, remember this from now on, Merry... is also our partner!!"

"Hmm!! Merry... our friend!"

Chapter 77: What will happen after Red Luffy hears Lab's story? (Please subscribe!)

Trafalgar Law: "Red Luffy over there really does what he says, he really treats Merry like a partner!"

Capone Bege: "If I go get a new ship now and shout like Red Luffy, will a ship spirit appear on my ship too?"

Skulachiman Ap: "Ah bah bah bah...!!! What are you thinking about??? I don't know why a ship spirit appeared on Red Luffy's ship over there, but if you do it deliberately like this... the ship spirit will definitely not appear~~~~"

Qiao Aliboni: "Look, on the mast of their ship, the ship elf is looming, and it looks very happy~~~"

[Since Luffy was the one personally piloting the ship, the Merry smoothly entered the canal of Upside Down Mountain~~~]

[After reaching the highest point, this is the place where the four seas meet~~~]

[Of course, although this is where the waters of the four seas converge, this is not the blue sea that Sanji wants to find~~~]

You know, the true meaning of the blue ocean isn't whether it contains all the water from the four seas, but rather that it contains all the marine food from the four seas! That's the true meaning of the blue ocean.

After passing the intersection at the top, the Merry followed the fifth river channel and quickly dived down towards the Grand Line!

[However..., just as their ship was about to enter the Grand Line, a gigantic shadow appeared ahead, blocking out the sky and the sun! ! !]

Brooke: "It's Rab!!"

Vinsmoke Sanji: "We also met Lab over there~~~"

Roronoa Zoro: "Nonsense!!! Laboo was already there before you were even born! We just arrived at the Twin Capes two years earlier, so what's the problem with running into Laboo???"

Vinsmoke Sanji: "Stupid green algae head!!! I mean, we also encountered Lab over there. He rammed his head into the mountain, blocking their route~~~"

Roronoa Zoro: "Stupid curly eyebrow! Why don't you explain clearly~~~"

Vinsmoke Sanji: "Stupid green algae head!!!"

Roronoa Zoro: "Stupid eyebrow curler!!!"

“Ahhh!!! What’s that in front of us…!!!”

[“Oops!! Why is there a mountain here?”]

"Our ship is about to collide!!!"

[On the deck of the Merry, there was a sudden outburst of shouting~~~]

[But at this moment, Luffy shouted: "Nami 15!!——"]

He suddenly grabbed Nami's slender waist with his right hand, picked up a bucket of water with his left hand, and jumped off the deck!!!

"Hey!!! We're still here!!!"

[Seeing Luffy and Nami "slipping away early", Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and Buggy all shouted~~~]

Luffy and Nami landed on the cliff next to the river. His feet, covered in pitch-black decorative Haki, slammed into the cliff face, securing himself securely to the wall.

[Then, he slammed the barrel against the mountain wall! ! ! ]

[Hua La La~~~]

[The water in the barrel suddenly gushed out! ! ]

"Quick! Water slide!"

Luffy yelled, and immediately placed Nami on his back. Without hesitation, he freed his hands and stretched them out suddenly!

[As both arms stretched, their hands expanded wildly like a palm-leaf fan! ! ! ]

[Nami watched Luffy's actions and suddenly realized...]

[She put her legs on Luffy's waist to prevent herself from falling off the mountain wall! ]

[“Slippery Water Slide!!——”]

[Nami made a special gesture with her fingers, and the ability of the Slippery Fruit was activated! !]

[The water gushing out of the barrel quickly gathered under Nami's fruit ability, forming a cylindrical drum! ! ! ]

【And at this time...】

Luffy's hands firmly grasped the front and back of the Merry, his jet-black Armament Haki covering it.

[His face was distorted with horror, and he gritted his teeth and exerted force!!!]

Under his power, the Merry was forced to turn and crashed into the side of the waterway~~~

[At the moment the Merry crashed into the shore, Nami used the power of the Slippery Fruit to condense a cylindrical roller of water that instantly spread out! ! ! "

[A thin blanket of water suddenly spread to the edge of the waterway! ]

【Slurp~~~】

[Merry followed this slide and rushed directly onto the nearby mountain wall! ]

The waterslide stretched diagonally downward, and the Merry followed it, suddenly rushing downwards! ! !

[“Let’s go!”]

Luffy grabbed the stern with both hands, and with a bang, he pulled his feet out of the mountain wall, and was immediately carried away by the Merry~~~

[“Wow!!——”]

Usopp suddenly saw land beneath the cliff, and his eyes popped out of their sockets in terror...

"Oh no, Luffy! There's land below! The water blanket we just created doesn't seem to be enough to cover the ground!"

[Nami clamped her hands around Luffy's lower back, hugged his neck with both hands, and shouted rapidly.]

"Leave it to me!!"

Luffy pulled hard, instantly outpacing the Merry's descent and reaching directly above the Beauty. His four limbs grabbed the four buckle pull rings on the Merry's body.

[“Rubber-Rubber Hot Air Balloon!!——”]

[Luffy uses this move again, very similar to the one that slid down from the Sea King's face before! !]

[Merry suddenly lifted off the ground and floated towards the sea!]

[However, Nami, who was originally riding on Luffy's waist, was directly bounced up due to Luffy's sudden inflation~~~]

[It bounced about a meter high, then fell onto Luffy's inflatable back...]

【duang~duang~duangdaungduang......】

[Nami bounced more than ten times before finally stabilizing herself on top of the hot air balloon~~]

Nami: "Hehehaha~~~ Is Luffy so elastic after being inflated?"

Roronoa Zoro: "Like a trampoline..."

Nico Robin: "I'm dying of laughter. When can we try this trick~~~"

Tony Tony Chopper: "I really want to play~~"

Franky: "The Slippery Fruit really played a big role! Otherwise, even if Red Luffy came up with this idea, he wouldn't be able to succeed~~~"
