Side Story: The Three Brothers' New Adventure

The winds of the New Era have blown to Cocoyasi Village.

In the Orange Grove.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, falling on a huge, unfolded nautical chart.

Nami squatted on the ground, holding a pen in her hand, her brows furrowed tightly.

It was an Old World map.

It is marked with the East Blue, West Blue, South Blue, North Blue, the Grand Line, the Red Line, the Calm Belt, and the sea boundaries that once instilled fear in ordinary people.

But now, this map is no longer usable.

The Red Line has been opened up.

The currents of the four oceans converge again.

The extent of the Calm Belt has also changed.

A new strait has emerged.

New shipping routes to the islands have been opened.

Some previously isolated sea areas have now given rise to unprecedented new shipping routes due to the formation of ALL BLUE.

Nami looked at the map, her eyes growing brighter and brighter.

This isn't trouble, it's treasure!

This means that all navigators in the Old World were starting from the same point.

This means the world needs a completely new map.

Nojiko under the orange tree, peeling an orange and smiling at her.

Want to go to sea?

Nami didn't look up.

"Um."

Bellemere leaned against the wooden railing, a cigarette dangling from her lips, her eyes gentle.

"For money?"

Nami paused, her pen still in her hand, and gently shook her head as she looked at the sea chart.

"No."

"I want to draw a truly complete world map and fulfill my dream!"

A breeze blows through the Orange Grove, causing the oranges on the branches to sway gently.

Bellemere looked at her and suddenly smiled.

"Just like what you said when you were a child."

Nami looked up, her eyes sparkling.

"It was a dream when I was a child."

"It's time to work."

Nojiko immediately teased him.

"So, are you still taking money?"

Nami looked up instantly, her eyes turning into the shape of Beli.

"Certainly!"

"The new world map is an exclusive copyright!"

"Chambers of commerce, navies, adventurers' associations, fishermen's guilds—everyone has to buy it!"

Bellemere chuckled.

"It's still the same."

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the Orange Grove.

Roy appeared Teleportation of nowhere, holding a freshly picked orange in his hand.

He peeled the orange, popped a segment into his mouth, and nodded.

"Sweet."

Nami slowly turned her head.

"Brother Roy."

Roy froze, Nami reached out her hand.

"Losing money."

Roy was stunned.

"Why?"

Nami was perfectly justified.

"You changed the world's topography; all the maps I drew before are now useless."

Roy: "..."

Bellemere finally couldn't hold back and burst into laughter, leaning against the railing.

Nojiko her shoulders shook.

Roy looked at Nami's outstretched hand, then at the old sea chart, and remained silent for a moment.

"How can this be blamed on me?"

Nami smiled brightly.

"Certainly."

"Because you're the founder of New Era."

Roy's lips twitched; this title had never felt so heavy to him before.

Three days later.

Cocoyasi Village Harbor.

A brand new adventure ship is docked at the shore.

The deck was spacious, the masts were brand new, and the cabins were filled with surveying tools, nautical instruments, Log Pose, food, medicine, and blank atlases that Nami had personally prepared.

Instead of a Pirate flag, the sail bore a Straw Hat emblem surrounded by orange branches.

Nami stood on the deck, hands on her hips.

"From today onwards, this ship will be our temporary adventure vessel!"

Nojiko walked up, dragging her luggage, and asked with a smile, "Temporary?"

Nami raised an eyebrow.

"Once I've earned enough money, I'll get a bigger one."

Koala, carrying her bag, jumped onto the boat and waved energetically.

"Then I'll be responsible for recording the local customs and culture of the islands along the way!"

Nami nodded.

"Very good, the adventurer group needs an investigator."

Nojiko shook the orange basket in her hand.

"Then I'll take care of you so you don't starve to death."

"And while you're at it, keep an eye on Nami so she doesn't sell out the crew."

Nami glared at her, displeased.

"I would never betray my comrades!"

She paused, then added quietly.

"At most, we'll charge a reasonable service fee."

Bellemere stood on the shore, arms crossed, watching the three girls.

She didn't stop her, but simply stepped forward and straightened Nami's collar.

"Do what you want to do."

Nami paused for a moment, and Bellemere gently flicked her forehead.

"But remember."

"The map can be drawn slowly."

"They must come back alive."

Nami's eyes welled up slightly, then she grinned.

"Okay, Bellemere."

"I'm the navigator who's going to draw the whole world."

Roy leaned against the shore, eating his second orange.

Nami turned to look at him.

Aren't you coming along?

Roy waved his hand.

"I'll be responsible for taking you to Foosha Village."

"You'll have to walk the rest of the way yourselves."

Nami snorted.

"Lazybones."

Foosha Village.

The area outside Makino's tavern was still bustling.

This time, however, the three people sitting at the table were no longer the mud-covered, meat-stealing, fighting, and beating-up brats they used to be.

Ace leaned back in his chair, a wine glass in his hand and a smile on his lips.

Sabo sat beside him, gazing gently at the sea outside the window.

Luffy, meanwhile, was holding a large piece of meat, eating it with his mouth dripping with oil.

I've made up my mind!

Luffy suddenly stood up.

"I want to go to sea!"

Ace lazily raised his eyes.

"When don't you want to go out to sea?"

Sabo laughed and asked, "What's it for this time?"

Luffy pressed down on his Marine Cap and grinned.

"I want to become the freest adventurer in the world!"

The tavern fell silent for a moment, then Ace burst into laughter.

"Ha ha!"

"This sounds much more troublesome than that so-called Pirate King!"

Sabo gazed at the distant sea, his eyes softening.

"At least, adventurers don't have to fight against the world."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ace's laughter slowly subsided.

He looked down at his reflection in the wine glass.

He was once overwhelmed by the identity of "Roger's son".

He once felt that his birth was a sin.

But now, the old era has ended.

The world no longer judges a person based on bloodline.

He is Ace, just Ace.

Luffy looked at him, a piece of meat still dangling from his mouth.

"Ace, let's set sail together!"

Ace looked up.

"Does your ship need someone to start a fire?"

Luffy's eyes lit up.

"Lack!"

Sabo chuckled.

"Then I'll take care of the negotiations and route intelligence."

Luffy into laughter.

"Good!"

"Then we'll be the Three Brothers Adventure Crew!"

The words had barely left his mouth when the tavern door was pushed open.

Nami, Nojiko, and Koala walked in.

Nami waved the atlas in her hand.

Who said there are only three brothers?

Luffy's eyes lit up.

Nami!

Are you going out to sea with me?

Nami walked to the table and slammed the atlas on it.

"I want to draw a complete world map for the New Era."

"You must explore new sea routes; I will record them."

"We share the same goal."

Nojiko laughed and added, "And while you're at it, keep an eye on her so she doesn't swindle all your money."

Koala looked at Sabo with a bright smile.

"And me."

"I also want to see what the world has become after the revolution."

Sabo paused for a moment, then laughed.

"Welcome."

Ace looked at the group of people at the table and suddenly raised an eyebrow. "So what are we here for?"

Nami didn't hesitate.

"Adventure Group."

Luffy raises his hands.

"OK!"

"Then we are the freest adventurer group of the New Era!"

Roy sat in the corner, lazily watching the group of people.

Garp was standing in the doorway at some point, veins bulging on his forehead.

You bunch of brats.

"Trying to sneak out to sea again?"

The meat in Luffy's hand fell onto the table with a thud, and Ace and Sabo almost instinctively stood up.

"Run!"

Unfortunately, it was too late.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Garp them all down with a single punch.

The three brothers crashed neatly into the floor, with only their heads sticking out.

Luffy burst into tears.

Grandpa! I've grown up all of a bit!

Garp picked his nose. "He'll be my grandson when he grows up."

Ace gritted his teeth.

"You old geezer, you still hit me so hard!"

Sabo gave a wry smile, "I don't know why, but I instinctively feel afraid when I see your body."

Makino covered her mouth and chuckled, while Nami and the others laughed uncontrollably.

Roy took a sip of tea and said calmly, "Grandpa, they didn't sneak out to play this time."

"He's an adventurer."

Garp snorted coldly.

What's the difference?

Luffy climbed out of the crater, pressed his Marine Cap, and said seriously, "There's a difference."

We're going to see the world.

Garp looked at him.

Ace dusted himself off and chuckled, "Let's also take a look at the sea that even Roger never went to."

Sabo also stood up. "Look at this New Era, is it really worth so many people sacrificing for it?"

Nami, holding the atlas, said, "Then I'll draw it."

The tavern fell silent.

Garp looked at them and remained silent for a long time.

Finally, he turned around.

"Before setting off, let's go see Dadan."

Luffy taken aback.

The next second, he burst into laughter and rushed out.

"Dadan!"

The three brothers and Dadan

Mount Colubo.

The Dadan Family was still making a ruckus.

In front of the wooden house, Dadan was scolding the bandit underlings for being lazy.

The next second, Luffy rushed into her arms like a cannonball.

"Dadan!"

Dadan was knocked back three steps and almost fell on her bottom.

Luffy?!

"You brat, why are you back again!"

Ace and Sabo then arrived.

"Dadan, it's been a long time."

We're back.

Dadan looked at the three of them, her lips trembling.

I clearly have a lot to say and want to yell at people.

But all that came out of his mouth was, "So you guys actually know how to come back..."

Luffy hugged her waist affectionately.

We're setting sail!

"This time it's an adventure team!"

Dadan grabbed his face.

"You're leaving so soon after you got back?!"

None of you three have ever been easy to deal with since you were little!

Luffy's face was stretched long, but he was still smiling.

Ace scratched his head.

So I came back to see you.

Sabo said gently, "I also want to say goodbye to you formally."

Dadan's eyes reddened, and she immediately turned her head away.

"Who cares!"

"If you're going to leave, then leave!"

"Just don't die out there!"

Nami, Nojiko, and Koala stood by, quietly watching this scene.

They suddenly understood.

These three men, who always rush forward with a smile, also have a place they can return to.

Night.

It was unusual for the Dadan Family to set out a table full of food.

Luffy ate like he hadn't eaten for ten years.

Ace and Sabo were drinking with Dadan.

Nami and Nojiko helped clear the dishes.

Koala and his bandit underlings chatted enthusiastically.

Roy sat on the roof, looking at the Flame inside, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Garp stood beside him, arms crossed.

"New Era..."

Roy smiled.

"It's fine, isn't it?"

Garp snorted.

"Those brats are still as troublesome as ever."

"But..."

He looked at the three brothers laughing together in the room, and his gaze softened.

"It's not bad to be able to go out to sea like this."

The next morning.

Seaside.

A new adventure ship raises its sails.

Luffy stood at the bow of the ship.

Ace leaned against the railing, flames dancing lightly on his fingertips.

Sabo gripped the water pipe, smiling as he looked into the distance.

Nami stood in front of the navigation platform and opened a blank atlas.

Nojiko put the oranges into the warehouse.

Koala stood on the deck, arms outstretched, facing the sea breeze.

Dadan stood on the shore, her eyes red, and roared, "You lot!"

"Try dying out there and see what happens!"

Luffy his hand forcefully.

"Okay!"

"Dadan!"

Nami made the first stroke.

The new shipping route begins in the Foosha Village and extends towards the unknown sea.

On the edge of the map, she wrote a line: The world is no longer divided by red earth.

Roy stood on the shore, looking at the words, and smiled, "Not bad."

Nami reached out her hand.

"Praise is free."

"Maps are not free."

Roy: "..."

The sails billowed.

The sea breeze is just right.

Luffy grinned widely.

Let's go!

Ace and Sabo laughed at the same time.

This time.

They are not fleeing the world.

Instead, they are heading towards the world.
