Sailing: His comprehension is against the sky, and he comprehends the Eight Gates at the beginning.

"So I want you to find this person's location, and use this information to exchange for the design blueprints I have."

In fact, the Mori-Mori Fruit was the fruit Luffy considered for Nojiko's sake.

For Nojiko, this fruit should be the perfect match for her.

However, he still doesn't know where Green Bull is.

He happened to run into Doflamingo and thought of using Doflamingo's connections and influence to help him find Green Bull ahead of time.

Luffy knew that as their influence grew, the World Government would not stand idly by.

Future developments will certainly not be like the original story, allowing them enough time to cultivate.

Therefore, he needed to improve the strength of his subordinates as soon as possible, so that they would not be unable to cope when they encountered some powerful enemies.

Upon hearing Luffy's suggestion, Doflamingo's eyes showed a thoughtful expression.

Trading information about a Devil Fruit for an opportunity to make a fortune is undoubtedly a very worthwhile deal.

However, he was a little curious: since Luffy knew that the fruit had already been eaten, why was he still looking for it?

Even if he wanted to seize the fruit and kill the other party, it wouldn't necessarily regenerate near him!

Doflamingo was completely baffled by this question.

However, he also considered another possibility.

That means Luffy might have the ability to steal other people's Devil Fruits.

This speculation made Doflamingo incredibly excited.

With such abilities, there is no doubt that he will be a figure who influences the world in the future.

Moreover, the power Luffy has shown has earned Doflamingo's complete respect.

If he could establish such a connection, it would be of great benefit to him.

After some thought, Doflamingo looked at Luffy and nodded with a slight smile on his face.

"make a deal!"

Seeing Doflamingo nod in agreement, Luffy exchanged contact information with him, telling him to contact him when he found Green Bull's location.

Then we can make the deal with him.

While Luffy was negotiating with Doflamingo, Blackbeard's crew was hiding in the shadows.

Seeing that Luffy and Doflamingo's battle was over, Wano asked Blackbeard.

"Captain, shall we start fighting now?"

No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard Blackbeard curse angrily.

"What are you fighting for? Run!"

His men might not be able to see it, but he himself could see it very clearly.

Luffy didn't use his full strength when fighting Doflamingo, and he didn't even use Conqueror's Haki.

He knew too little about Luffy.

They had no idea what the opponent's true strength was.

However, even someone like Doflamingo was so easily subdued.

This made Blackbeard hesitant to make any rash moves against Luffy.

After all, if Luffy really defeats him, he'll really go all out!

He didn't dare take the risk.

He also knew that Luffy had likely already discovered their presence.

After all, the few of them had been hiding here spying, making them stand out from the rest of the escapees.

So after saying that, Blackbeard took the remaining few of his men and ran away.

As for Luffy, he has already made his promise to Doflamingo.

Just as they were about to check out the unusual auras they had sensed earlier, they discovered that the other party had also begun to flee.

Luffy didn't bother with them anymore.

They called Vivi over and went back to the East Coast with her.

...

Jaya Island, east coast!

When Luffy and Vivi returned.

Coolidge and the gorilla have recovered considerably from their injuries thanks to Chopper's treatment.

At this moment, he is working with the rest of the crew to modify the Going Merry.

"Everyone, we're back!"

While still in the air, Weiwei excitedly greeted the people below.

As soon as she finished speaking, she had already landed and returned with Luffy.

The moment they landed, the two were immediately drawn to the newly transformed Going Merry.

At this moment, the Merry had been fitted with wings on both sides, just like wings.

However, it is not yet completed; everyone is currently carrying out reinforcement and installation work.

Looking at the Going Merry in its current form, Vivi couldn't help but marvel.

"Segway One, is the Going Merry's flight mode."

At this moment, other people's voices also began to rise.

"You guys are too slow, Luffy! Vivi!"

"Why make such a big commotion again? It's attracting too much attention."

Upon hearing this, Luffy casually replied.

"Oh! I ran into Doflamingo and fought him."

Upon hearing Luffy's explanation, Usopp nodded in understanding.

"So that's how it is! So you ran into Doflamingo! No wonder you were so slow."

next second.

Everyone suddenly realized what was happening.

One by one, they stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Luffy.

"Doflamingo?!"

"Could it be the person I'm thinking of?"

"No way? Could it really be that person?"

Luffy smiled and nodded.

"It should be the person you're thinking of."

Immediately, everyone's face fell.

Nami's eyes were filled with disbelief as she spoke in a deep voice.

"Don't tell me you've taken down another Shichibukai!"

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are, after all, forces of the World Government. If the Seven Warlords of the Sea are eliminated one after another, the World Government will certainly not let it go.

At that point, their future seafaring days will turn into a disaster.

"We didn't kill him!"

This time, Luffy's answer relieved Nami and the other members of the courage team.

However, Luffy then continued.

"I have reached a cooperation agreement with him."

These words caused an uproar among the Straw Hat crew.

"What did you say?"

"To cooperate with a Shichibukai?"

"Luffy, what are you thinking? How could you team up with someone like Doflamingo?"

"Yeah, Luffy! Didn't you refuse to become a Shichibukai? Why are you getting involved with the Shichibukai again?"

Seeing that everyone looked confused, Luffy explained his idea to them.

"So that's how it is! It's to find a Devil Fruit for Nojiko?"

"In that case, it's definitely much better to ask a Shichibukai to do this kind of thing than to find one ourselves!"

"But you've made an agreement with him. Are you really going to hand over the design drawings to him? That would bring disaster to many countries."

Luffy smiled upon hearing this.

"I will certainly not break the promise I made with him."

"However, our cooperation ended the moment I handed over the blueprints to him."

"It would be perfectly reasonable for me to take the blueprints back then!"

Upon hearing Luffy's words, everyone's lips twitched involuntarily.

"You're really cunning!"

"But we are relieved that you can prevent those shells from falling into the hands of dangerous elements."

"Alright, let's not talk about that anymore. Come on, Luffy! Uncle Kuriko said we have to set sail as soon as possible, or we'll miss the Sky Current."

Upon hearing this, Weiwei couldn't help but ask in confusion.

"A surging ocean current?"

Then, while everyone was busy, they explained to Luffy and Vivi what Cricket had told them about how to get to Skypiea.

Although Luffy already knew, he overheard a crucial piece of information.

According to Coolidge's assessment, a powerful current will soon form somewhere in the sea nearby, so they need to hurry up and complete the modification of the Merry, and go to the forest to catch a compass bird that can indicate the direction.

The guide bird has been handed over to Robin and Uta to catch.

Uta's ability allows animals to enter the world of song; at times, she can control all the animals to come to her side on their own.

Robin only needs to use her powers to trap the animals, find the guide bird, and bring it back.

So the two of them are enough.

Luffy and Vivi, along with the rest of the crew, joined the Going Merry's refit project.

...

About half an hour later, the Going Merry was finally refitted thanks to everyone's concerted efforts.

Meanwhile, Robin and Uta brought back the Compass Bird.

Everything is ready.

"Alright, hurry up and get on the boat to get ready to depart, or we'll run out of time."

Kulikate stood on the shore, urging the group on.

Meanwhile, the gorilla and the ape boarded their respective ships and spoke to Luffy and the others.

"We'll lead the way, and you'll follow behind."

Luffy and his crew quickly boarded the ship.

Looking at Cricket standing on the shore, Luffy smiled slightly and said.

"Uncle, the Golden Land must exist!"

"Let us go look for it on the Sky Island for you!"

“If the Golden Land were in heaven, I would ring that golden bell and tell you all with its sound.”
