"You didn't expect this, this is our escape route!"

Usopp on the Merry secretly crouched on the edge of the deck, and saw the stunned expressions of Kizaru and Aokiji below through the dimensional hole, and suddenly a big smile appeared on his face, as if a prank had been successfully pulled.

The next second.

The scenery in front of them suddenly changed from the vast sky to a small island like a resort.

It was a small island temporarily built in the abdominal world of Lab.

Under the power of the fruit of a smile, the Merry appeared from the dimensional hole and landed gently in front of Buggy and others without splashing any dust.

"Boss Luffy, Boss Red!!! Everyone has worked hard!!!"

Looking at the straw hats standing on the deck of the Merry, Barto and others immediately stepped forward, looking very excited.

It was done!

They really did it!!!

Although I believed in the Straw Hat Pirates from the beginning, when this world-shaking event was really completed with their participation...

Even Buggy, a well-informed pirate veteran, could not suppress his excitement at this moment.

The huge Laboo quickly sank to the bottom of the sea.

Luffy, who walked down from the ship, also laughed and shouted for everyone to start preparing a grand banquet!

In this way, a banquet that was both reasonable and unexpected suddenly took place in Laboo's abdominal world.

With Aisha, the human radar, they were able to perfectly avoid the detection of naval warships and quickly leave the waters near Gaya Island.

Leaving hundreds of naval warships on the turbulent sea, at a loss.

Everything was settled in the laughter of the Straw Hat Pirates.

……

……

"It's finally over."

A few hours later.

After having a good time eating, drinking and having fun with his companions, Red quietly left the banquet center and came to his private exclusive area in the abdominal world.

Pulling a recliner, Chihong fell down comfortably.

Looking at the fake blue sky and white clouds in the sky, he opened the machine interface in his consciousness and began to check the gains and growth of his partners after this battle.

First of all, Nami and Usopp...

Although they have solved the most enemies, reality is not a game world after all, and experience points will not increase because they defeat the enemies.

So except for the first few rounds of direct confrontation with the enemy, which gave them some combat experience, the subsequent experience gained by the two can be said to be the thinnest because they did not do it themselves many times.

But even so, the levels of the two have been raised by one level, reaching level 36 and level 35.

It is considered a small gain.

Relatively speaking, Chopper, who completely defeated an injured vice admiral, has been raised by 2 levels in one fell swoop, reaching level 38.

On Robin's side, although he solved three vice admirals by himself, because of his relatively high level, he only raised one level to level 43.

And the biggest gain this time is still the three giants of the Straw Hat Gang!

Luffy, Zoro and Sanji!

Although their levels are relatively high, it is more difficult to upgrade than other partners.

But the opponents they each encountered made up for this problem perfectly!

Whether it is Zoro and Sanji who crossed several classes and faced the admirals of the navy, or Luffy who fought alone and defeated CP0 who was strong enough to compete with the elite vice-captains...

Their efforts and gains in the battle are far greater than those of Nami and others.

After the war, Zoro and Sanji were upgraded to level 55 and 54 respectively.

In terms of panel attributes alone, the two are almost on par.

Sanji, who was originally not much different from Zoro in level, has been catching up step by step by relying on the powerful scientific power in his body.

As for the question of who is stronger...

It depends on whether Zoro's sword intent is more powerful or Sanji's development of his body's potential is more perfect.

Finally, Red turned his consciousness to Luffy's attribute panel this time.

His level at this time has jumped from the second half of the original level 62 to 64!

And he was able to defeat the senior agent of CP0 without any help. Although Luffy's basic attributes are not too high...

But with the addition of various buffs and Pokémon moves, it is enough to fight against top emperors such as Katakuri and Jin.

Even if the chance of winning is not great, Luffy has officially squeezed into the ranks of the world's top strongmen.

"This time, Ace has been completely surpassed by his younger brother!"

Red chuckled, but there was an inexplicable light flashing in his eyes.

Even if Ace's talent is also not weak, but with the dual blessing of the protagonist's halo + Red Red plug-in, even if Ace finally becomes as strong as the Four Emperors...

At that time, Luffy may have the ultimate combat power to punch the Five Elders.

"Sure enough, fighting against the strong is the fastest way for Luffy and the others to become stronger."

"This is the way, there are some risks."

After closing the attribute panels of his companions, Akane sighed silently.

But soon, he put all these thoughts behind him.

Because next, he has more important things to do.

……

……

"Baki, Barto, these people will be part of the Straw Hat Fleet in the future."

"They will inherit the name of [Akatsuki] that we created on Sky Island, and will be responsible for the intelligence work of the Straw Hat in the future."

"You will leave your contact information and life cards to each other later. If you have any intelligence-related questions, you can contact them directly."

On an empty island in the abdominal world, Red called Buggy and Barto out of the banquet, and then pointed to the five CP agents who were successfully hypnotized behind him.

After some thought, Red finally did not choose to hypnotize the CP0 who was defeated by Luffy.

One is that his strength is a bit strong, and Red may not be able to hypnotize successfully.

In addition, intelligence work focuses on comprehensive qualities rather than combat capabilities.

So after some thought, Red finally chose to hypnotize the three CP9 agents.

After all, judging from the situation reflected in the anime, although these three people are average in strength, their ability as agents is not a problem at all.

"Lord Red, this..."

Baki and Barto looked at the CP9 members behind Red with surprise.

If their memories are correct...

Weren't those three guys just imprisoned in the Abdominal World by their men?

They chose to surrender so quickly?

Are the agents of the World Government too spineless?

Buggy and Barto showed strange expressions.

However, Red did not intend to explain too much to them. He just smiled and let them communicate with each other.

Red's hypnosis has successfully made these CP agents more loyal to the Straw Hat Pirates than to the World Government.

So even the arrogant agents, after learning that Buggy and others were members of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet, put away their posture and communicated in a reluctant and friendly manner.

Seeing this scene, Red immediately showed a satisfied smile on his face.

At the same time, he also had the idea of ​​improving his strength as soon as possible and hypnotizing all the agents.

There may be no more useful tools than them in this world!

No words all night.

After the noisy banquet, the Straw Hat Pirates ushered in an unprecedented tranquility in this period of time.

Even Zoro, who was originally going to do daily training, was stopped by Red.

Because next, he had to discuss the future sailing route with his partners.

…

…

"Seven Water City?"

"I remember... that's the island after our route, right!?"

In the abdominal world, a meeting room built by green vines.

Hearing the next destination mentioned by Red, Nami immediately picked out one with the "Seven Water City" nameplate from the many eternal pointers, and then opened the world map and searched in it.

Although the climate of the Grand Route is weird and there is no fixed sea map.

But important islands like the Seven Water City, which are well-known in the world, can still be found through ordinary maps.

Soon, Nami found their next sailing direction.

And Red continued to introduce to everyone:

"That's right! It's the Seven Waters City!"

"It's an island that gathers the best shipbuilders in the world. It just so happens that Buggy and Barto's pirate ships have been towed away by the navy, and they can't stay in Lab's body forever..."

"Let's go there first to build two pirate ships for them."

"In addition..."

Speaking of this, Red's tone suddenly paused, and his eyes swept across the straw hats, with a mysterious smile on his face:

"If possible, I want the best shipbuilder there to help us transform Merry's hull!"

"Merry!? Transform!?"

The straw hats were all stunned when they heard this.

And Red continued: "The environment of the New World is different from the first half of the Grand Line..."

"The sea there may erupt with various devastating natural disasters at any time and anywhere!"

"With the current hull of the Merry, it is not enough to cope with that sea!"

"So the transformation of the Merry is the most important thing for us now!"

Although Merry has now become Red's Pokémon, the hull can be made stronger by upgrading the level.

But she is not a human or a normal creature after all. Merry, who cannot become stronger through training, is much slower than the pace of the Straw Hat Pirates' adventure.

And considering that the identity of the Straw Hat Pirates will be dug out by the World Government, their situation will not be as safe as it is now.

So the transformation of the Merry is already a must!

"Yeah."

After listening to Red's explanation, the Straw Hats nodded their heads lightly.

Zoro nodded and said, "Indeed, if we consider the powerful enemies we will encounter in the future, the Merry should indeed be remodeled."

After growing up and fighting with Admiral Kizaru, he deeply realized how terrible the real strong are!

At this time, Luffy also looked up at Red: "Are the guys in the Seven Water City really reliable?!"

After all, the Merry not only carries the dreams of their group, but is also their precious partner...

The transformation of the ship is so important that even Luffy, who always obeys Red, can't help but confirm it again.

"Yes, Red!" Usopp also seemed to suddenly remember something, and hurriedly said: "I remember you told us in the East China Sea..."

"There seems to be someone from the World Government in the Seven Waters, right? It's the same CP organization as those agents! Is it really unrelated?"

"If... everyone is worried..."

Seeing everyone showing such a serious expression, Red was not angry because the proposal was questioned, but curled the corners of his mouth and said:

"Since everyone is so worried about the shipwrights of the Seven Waters..."

"Why don't we find an excellent shipwright as a partner and let him help us transform the Merry!?"

"Hmm!?"

Hearing this, the Straw Hats were stunned again.

Robin suddenly smiled, and her two eyes curved into a beautiful crescent shape:

"In that case, Red, you should have a candidate in mind, right!?"

"Oh?! Do you have a new partner candidate?!" Luffy, who realized it later, stood up suddenly, revealing a pair of shining eyes, and looked at Red expectantly.

Red no longer hid and smiled directly: "There is indeed a candidate~ and the person is in the Seven Water Capital."

"But that guy has a strange personality, Luffy, you decide whether to invite him on board!"

"Hehe~" Luffy grinned, "Okay, then go and take a look!"

Having said that, looking at a group of excellent companions beside him, Luffy knew that they would soon have new companions joining their group!

Just because...

Red's nomination must be a selection.

Just like just now, Luffy was actually only responsible for Merry as the captain, so he wanted to get Red's confirmation again.

From beginning to end, he never doubted the decision made by Red.

In this way, the Straw Hat Pirates quickly determined the next direction of action.

Although this will make them miss a very interesting long chain island, the first half of the Grand Line is not safe now.

Time is limited, and now they can only make some sacrifices.

The giant-like Lab swam in the sea again, and under Nami's command, it headed towards the Seven Water Capital.

…

…

“Uncle Yixiao, this is the Six Styles training method of the World Government.”

“I see that Coby doesn’t seem to be suitable for using weapons like swords.”

“And his fruit ability is also inclined to close combat, so why not let him learn the Six Styles.”

After arranging the actions of the Straw Hat Pirates, Red was busy again.

He first went to see Enelu who had been captured for several days.

After ensuring that this guy would not have the possibility of escaping, he went to find two hypnotized CP0s and got the martial arts secret book called "Learning Six Styles from Zero".

Immediately, he came to the back of Lab on the sea and found Yixiao who was about to leave with Coby, and handed him the secret book, which was still a single copy.

“Here, Mr. Red…”

Seeing Red handing such a precious thing to him, Yixiao once again felt Red’s heavy trust in him.

The devil fruit at the beginning, and the six-style training secrets now...

Although the ultimate beneficiary is his new apprentice, no matter what...

These things are extremely precious treasures for the world!

And Chihong was able to hand it over to him without hesitation.

At this moment, even though he knew what Chihong was thinking, Yixiao couldn't help but be moved.

But before he could speak, Chihong took the initiative to say:

"Uncle Yixiao, I know that with your personality, it is impossible for you to choose to become a pirate."

"But it doesn't matter, whether it is your help to us in this battle or your pursuit of justice..."

"It's worthy of these things I gave you."

"I just hope...you can continue to maintain your justice and take Coby with you without hesitation!"

"I believe that one day in the future, all the darkness in front of you will turn into a thousand-foot brilliance!"

"This world will get better!"

"…………"

Suddenly, Yixiao fell silent.

A moment later, he put the six-style secrets in his hand into his pocket.

Although he was blind, he still accurately found Chihong's sight and "looked" at him.

"Sir Chihong, I already know your intentions."

"I have seen everything you did."

"Although it was only a few days..."

"But in your hands, the world is indeed changing."

"Maybe... it's time for me to make some changes!"

Yixiao suddenly activated the fruit ability and took out a wine pot and a small wine glass from the backpack behind him.

After filling the wine glass, he raised the wine glass above his head again and bowed to Chihong.

"Time is limited, please accept my sloppy intentions on behalf of the Straw Hat Pirates, Sir Chihong."

"Although I am not going to become a pirate..."

"But I still hope that Sir Chihong can allow us, the master and apprentice, to join the Straw Hat Grand Fleet!"

"Just as Sir Chihong trusts me, I also believe..."

"The light I want to find is here!"

……

……

A few minutes later.

After drinking a glass of soju, Chihong looked at the two black dots disappearing in the distance of the sky, and the corners of his mouth suddenly raised, and he chuckled and murmured:

"Actually..."

"That's not what I meant~"
