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

The man with the knife suddenly roared and swung the knife at Usopp.

"Eh?!"

Seeing that the situation was not good, Usopp immediately raised his hands and ran to Luffy's side at the bow of the ship, frantically asking for help.

"Luffy, save me!"

Luffy glanced at the newcomer and suddenly froze.

Aren't these two Joseph and Johnny?

I think he used to be Zoro's underling?

Luffy stroked his chin, reflecting on the past.

Johnny?!

Suddenly, Zoro's voice came from behind Johnny.

Johnny turned around upon hearing the familiar voice and exclaimed in delight.

"Brother Zoro!"

"Huh? Has Zoro become a pirate now?"

Zoro said.

"Well! In short, I've been through a lot, and I'm no longer a pirate hunter."

"By the way, what are you doing here? Where's Joseph?"

Upon hearing Zoro mention Joseph, Johnny suddenly remembered something, became extremely worried, and asked for help.

"Brother Zoro, you have to save Joseph!"

"That guy has scurvy and is dying."

"We were resting on that rock when we were suddenly hit by a cannonball. We saw this pirate ship nearby, so we came looking for it."

Everyone on the ship looked embarrassed; they had almost been killed by a cannonball.

Just then, Luffy walked over.

"Scurvy? Just take some vitamins and it'll be fine."

"Usopp, go to our kitchen and get a few oranges."

Soon, Usopp brought over oranges.

Johnny squeezed a large amount of orange juice into Joseph's mouth.

The next second, Joseph, who was on the verge of death, suddenly leaped up.

"Yes! He's alive!"

Then, he and Johnny hugged each other to celebrate.

Luffy and the others were speechless.

"It's impossible for it to get better so quickly; it will need some rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Joseph collapsed to the ground again, resuming his state of near death.

"Hey Johnny. Do you know where we can find a chef around here? We're looking to hire one."

At that moment, Luffy suddenly asked a question.

He was planning to find a sea restaurant and recruit Sanji, but he didn't know how to get there.

They happened to run into Johnny and his companion, and remembering that in the original story, it was these two who led Luffy and his crew to the sea restaurant, they asked them about it.

Upon hearing this, Johnny immediately thought of a place without much thought.

"If you're looking for a chef at sea, I know a place."

"But whether the chefs there will come is another matter."

"That floating restaurant, Barratier!"

Chapter Thirty-One: Is this fucking a cannon?

The floating restaurant, Balati, is a giant ship shaped like a carp.

Because of its exceptional taste and renowned reputation, it attracts a wide range of people, including sailors, pirates, wealthy merchants, and tourists.

In addition, the owner of this floating restaurant, "Red-Leg" Zeff, was once a powerful pirate, and his chefs are all quite skilled.

So almost no one dares to cause trouble in this restaurant.

On the way to Baratie, Johnny explained the details of the floating restaurant to Luffy and the others.

"Oh?! We're here! That's the Baratie, the floating restaurant."

After several days of sailing, Johnny suddenly pointed to a giant ship shaped like a carp in the distance and said.

As the Merry approached, everyone gradually saw the ship in its entirety.

The ship was shaped like a fish's head at both ends, three stories high, and its hull was enormous, dozens of times the size of the Merry.

"What a huge ship!"

"It really does look like a fish!"

"The wine inside must taste pretty good!"

Just as everyone was feeling sentimental, a warship slowly sailed past the USS Merry.

"Huh?! That's... a naval warship?!"

The group leaned over the side of the boat, watching the warship opposite.

This was the first time any of them had ever seen a naval warship, so they were all quite curious.

Meanwhile, on the warship.

A naval captain with a scar on his face, dark clothes, and pink hair looked at the Going Merry and Luffy with disdain.

"I've never seen this pirate flag before... Is it some new, unknown minor pirate?"

The captain muttered something under his breath and said in a flippant tone.

"Hey! I'm Lieutenant Commander [Iron Fist] Finbdy from the Navy Headquarters. Which one of you is the captain? State your name!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy stepped forward, but instead of answering Finch's question, he turned cold and said...

"Iron Fist? Don't insult that title! The only one who deserves it is that vice admiral in your Navy Headquarters."

"As for you, you are not worthy to know our names!"

Luffy was already annoyed that Fombard used Garp's name, and the other party's contemptuous tone and attitude made Luffy show him no politeness either.

After saying that, he turned to Usopp.

"Usopp, bring us that Bucky bomb from our ship."

This Buggy Bomb was taken from Buggy in Orange Town to prevent the blueprints from being forged. Now that Usopp has mastered and improved the Buggy Bomb technology, there is no need to keep it.

Usopp was shocked when he heard that Luffy wanted to take the Buggy Bullet.

"Luffy, even though that Buggy bomb was defective, it was still powerful enough to blast this warship to smithereens. Do we really have to use it now?"

Usopp felt it was a bit of a waste.

But Luffy doesn't think so.

He now wants to blast Finnbdi and his warships to smithereens.

That's good, that's all.

"use!"

Seeing Luffy's determination, Usopp obeyed and went to move the cannonball.

On the other hand, Fitti was instantly enraged after hearing Luffy's words.

"Trash pirates, how dare you insult me, and be so arrogant."

"You can all die!"

"Fire! Sink them!"

Soon, both sides simultaneously aimed their cannons at each other and loaded shells.

The warship had more than a dozen cannons aimed at it, while the USS Merry only had one cannon.

Upon seeing this stark contrast, Finbdi burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha! Trash pirates, all you have is one cannon?"

"With this kind of strength, you dare to compare yourself to Lieutenant Commander [Iron Fist] Finbdy from the Marine Headquarters?"

"You'll all be blasted to smithereens by my warships!"

...

On the Merry side.

Apart from Luffy and Usopp, who knew the power of the Buggy Bullet, everyone else was completely unaware.

Zoro and Uta weren't worried at all because of their strength.

Nami and Joseph Johnny are different.

They were all trembling with fear.

"Brother, are we going to die here today?"

"It's alright, Joseph. With Brother Zoro here, he'll definitely save us."

As they spoke, the two of them simultaneously hid behind Zoro.

Seeing this, Nami followed suit and ran over to Luffy's side.

"Waaaaah... Luffy, you have to protect me!"

Luffy didn't respond, but Uta comforted Nami because she got along well with her.

After both sides had finished loading their cannons, Luffy and Fullbody stared intently at each other, and then...

"Fire! (x2)"

Boom boom boom boom...

The sound of more than a dozen cannons firing simultaneously exploded, deafening and frightening to hear.

However, at this very moment...

Rumble!

A deafening roar, comparable to thunder, suddenly erupted, the enormous sound like the wrath of the Thunder God, sending shivers down one's spine.

The people on the Merry seemed to have experienced an earthquake, their bodies swaying on the deck, and some of the weaker ones couldn't even stand up.

However, when they saw the display before them, which resembled a laser cannon, everyone's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, their jaws dropped to the ground, and they were so shocked that they couldn't utter a single word.

Even Zoro and Usopp, who knew the power of the cannonball, were shocked when they saw it with their own eyes. They joined the others, their jaws dropping to the ground.

On Fenbdi's side, the moment he gave the order to fire, he saw an incredibly exaggerated railgun suddenly erupt from the opposite ship.

Destroy everything along a single track.

That area was wider than his warships.

Fenbundy was shocked.

"This...this is a cannon?"

Not only him, but all the sailors on the warship were dumbfounded.

The power of these shells was completely beyond their comprehension.

One by one, they stood frozen in place, mouths agape, as if they had seen a ghost, only able to let out continuous "ah" sounds of terror.

The next second, before they could even react, they were engulfed in gunfire along with the warship.

One shot, one second, and the battle is over.
