Newcomer, Watch Closely

On an unknown island in the Grand Line.

Here, the magnetic field is chaotic, and the Eternal Pose is almost ineffective.

Without a single excellent navigator, the Straw Hat Pirates have completely lost their way.

"Wait, let me take a look at the nautical chart and the terrain..."

Tashigi, a former junior officer in the Navy, has now perfectly integrated into the Straw Hat Pirates.

After going through several hardships together, she understood.

The Straw Hat crew is more of an adventurer than a pirate crew.

They never do anything that would anger heaven and man; on the contrary, they do their best to help those in need.

In such a team, Tashigi would not go against the justice she believed in.

Moreover, Roronoa Zoro, a Three Sword Style swordsman, far surpasses her in swordsmanship, which greatly helps improve her personal strength.

She benefited greatly from her time with the Straw Hat Pirates.

"This place... is very close to Water Seven!"

Tashigi adjusted her glasses and said softly, "We're sailing faster than we expected."

"Mizu Mimizu!"

Going Merry, sitting atop the ram's head horns of the Going Luffy, instantly stretched his neck out.

His eyes sparkled, and he was drooling.

Luffy still vividly remembers the delicious meal that Wang Yan treated the Straw Hat Pirates to back in the East Blue 153rd Marine Branch.

His stomach was craving bouncy, juicy, and delicious Mizu Mimizu.

"We don't have enough money!"

Tashigi covered her forehead, her face full of black lines.

She was given full control of the finances as soon as she boarded the ship, which she initially thought was a sign of trust, and she was deeply moved.

But later, she realized it was a mess.

The Straw Hat Pirates are all big eaters.

The cost of Luffy's food and Zoro's drinks alone is not a small amount.

Expenses and expenditures have far exceeded revenues, and the fiscal deficit is growing daily.

"Oh no! I'm doomed! Without money, I can't move an inch. Is this the end for Usopp, the great warrior of the sea?"

The long-nosed Slingshot guy is just like Zhu Bajie from the Journey to the West group of four—utterly passive.

Upon hearing Tashigi's report, he immediately despaired.

Luffy grinned, laughing heartlessly.

Zoro, who was training his strength with the giant load-bearing wheels in the distance, looked over with one eye open. "Things will work themselves out. There's always a way."

With a flash of lightning, Sanji instantly appeared in front of Tashigi.

He knelt on one knee, looking every bit the gentleman. "Tashigi- chan, your knight Sanji is willing to help you out."

"The Curly Eyebrows pervert."

Zoro's barely audible voice rang out from afar.

Sanji's forehead veins bulged and his face flushed red.

His figure flashed, and he kicked Zoro in the forearm, sending up a series of lightning ripples. "You damn Green-haired fellow!"

"Um?..."

Zoro glared back defiantly, his face cold.

The two immediately started fighting.

Tashigi had a vague feeling that she might have boarded the wrong ship.

Now that Kaido the Four Emperors, has disappeared, the previously unknown Blackbeard Teach has suddenly ascended to the throne of the Shichibukai without any warning.

The world situation is changing rapidly, and the seas are about to become turbulent again...

Especially now.

Many ordinary people who were originally weak have now been blessed with the power of thunder.

With a sharp blade at hand, the urge to kill arises spontaneously.

Conflicts and bloodshed around the world have increased tenfold.

Tashigi couldn't understand what the profound meaning was in such a great being who could make his Word is Law and preach to the world doing this.

However, this is not something Tashigi needs to delve into.

For her right now, the most important thing is to solve the Straw Hat Pirates' financial problems.

Water Seven, the Water Seven.

Eight hundred years ago, the warship named "Pluton" was built by the shipbuilding technicians on the island.

This is the realm of ships, with a complex network of waterways. In addition to water transport on flat land, there are also waterways extending down from the heights of the Water 7.

Local residents raise a creature called "Bru" as a means of transportation on the water.

Unfortunately, the impoverished Straw Hat Pirates couldn't afford to rent Blue at all.

After all, renting them once costs a full thousand Beli.

Fortunately, because he listened attentively to the "The Dark Lord's" sermon, Luffy is now completely unafraid of water and Seastone, and can swim freely in the water.

Puff puff...

Water splashed everywhere.

Luffy was already having a blast in the waterway.

It looks like it's having a swimming race with a blue boar.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared without a trace.

"That guy!"

Zoro's eye twitched, he gripped the three swords at his waist, and instantly rushed out. "I'm going to find him!"

"Etc!"

Tashigi watched helplessly as the pirate crew members scattered, and couldn't help but sigh.

A person with no sense of direction went out to look for someone...

Is he teasing her?

The Straw Hat Pirates do indeed have a remarkable talent for attracting trouble and causing problems.

Luffy, while having fun, happens to get caught up in the entanglement between Iceburg Iceburg the secret intelligence agency CP9.

"Stop joking around."

A man dressed as a butler, with a pigeon perched on his shoulder, stared expressionlessly at the Iceburg Division Commander: "We have accurate intelligence sources. The legendary shipbuilder Tom passed on the blueprints for the Ancient Weapon Pluton to his disciple."

"And that person is you."

"Hand over the blueprints for Pluton, or don't blame us for using force."

Upon hearing this, Mayor Iceburg burst into laughter. "If you can't find it, it means that this thing really doesn't exist. Why believe those baseless rumors?"

The man with the pigeon-like hair glanced at him indifferently. "Barry, the sergeant of Dock One, is your disciple. Franky, your junior brother..."

"No matter who you gave the Pluton Blueprints to, we will find them. Then, many people will die."

Upon hearing this, Mayor Iceburg's pupils instantly contracted, and his expression turned gloomy.

His teeth were clenched so tightly they were clicking, clearly indicating that the other person had hit the nail on the head.

"Hey! Uncle, do you need any help?"

Luffy waved his hand in their direction. "Are these guys blackmailing you?"

"Oops!"

Mayor Iceburg felt a chill and quickly said, "Run! They're CP9!"

It is his responsibility to involve a kind-hearted, innocent citizen in this matter.

He would feel even more ashamed if the other party lost their life because of this.

"Run? Is it too late?"

Kalifa, standing beside the pigeon-man and holding a thorny whip, sneered.

She moved her right foot, clad in high heels, slightly backward, licked her red lips, and a cruel look appeared on her face.

"Kalifa, stop."

"This little guy's strength... seems pretty good, he's a suitable teaching tool."

The pigeon man, or rather Rob Lucci, CP9's most ruthless dark weapon in history, stopped Kalifa's instant kill.

His gaze fell on the Pink-haired Girl beside him, and he said in a cold tone, "Newcomer, you'd better watch carefully from now on."
