Announce to the World!

"Since you already have a powerful enough Devil Fruit, you don't need to eat these three," Xi Yan said, stroking his chin.

"So what do you plan to do with these three Devil Fruit?" Usopp asked curiously.

"Of course, we should ask Zoro and the other two if they want some," Xi Yan said. "If they don't want any, we'll give them to Shakky-jie to sell."

Upon hearing this, Usopp recalled what the three guys had said in the past, then shook his head and said, "Apart from Sanji, Franky and Zoro most likely won't eat Devil Fruit."

"Let's ask first," Xi Yan said. "If you don't want to eat it, then forget it."

This time, Usopp simply nodded and said nothing more.

Just then, Chopper looked up and said, "Hey everyone, I ran into a group of guys impersonating us in the Sabaody Archipelago."

"The guy impersonating us?"

Xi Yan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then asked in surprise, "Is that so?"

Who are these fearless individuals who dare to impersonate them...?

Aren't they afraid of being hunted down by the World Government?

Luffy looked interested and asked, "What kind of guy is he?"

"Yes." Chopper nodded to Xi Yan first, then looked at Luffy and said, "It's a guy who looks exactly like us."

After recalling what those guys looked like, Chopper nodded with absolute certainty.

Usopp:...

Usopp was speechless at Chopper's innocent look.

How are they the same?!

Those guys impersonating Luffy and Zoro are getting so fat they're practically balls!

And Franky and Sanji's physiques are obviously ridiculously thin!

Not to mention the guy who played him...

Just thinking about that guy with the Sniper King mask made Usopp's eyelids twitch.

"Exactly the same as us?"

Luffy was stunned for a moment, then said excitedly, "Is that so?"

Could it be that his father has another child outside?

Seeing Luffy's excited expression, Nami shook her head helplessly and said, "Don't listen to Chopper's nonsense, those guys are nowhere near as good as us."

At least she doesn't admit that the guy named Nami looks like her.

Luffy paused for a moment, then said with some disappointment, "So it's different after all..."

He thought he had finally found his long-lost brother.

Forget it, it's pointless.

Nami:...

So, what exactly are you disappointed about?

"Nami knows too?" Xi Yan asked in surprise.

"Of course I know," Nami nodded. "Those guys have been on the island for a while now, how could I not know?"

She simply didn't care much about those guys, which is why she didn't mention them.

"It's been a while?"

Xi Yan was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then turned to Shakky and said, "So... Shakky-jie, you also knew about this?"

Of course.

Shakky nodded and said, "What in the Sabaody Archipelago could possibly escape my notice?"

Xi Yan:...

Why haven't we told them this before?

Perhaps sensing Xi Yan's confusion, Shakky said, "I wasn't planning to bring up such a trivial matter, but since Chopper brought it up, I'll tell you about it."

After saying that, Shakky paused for a moment, then continued, "The person impersonating Little Monkey is called Dimar Black, nicknamed ' Three Tongues '!"

"He's a pirate with a bounty of 26 million Beli."

"He successfully won over a group of people by relying on the name of the Straw Hat Pirates and his silver tongue."

At this point, a hint of emotion appeared on Shakky's face.

Although that guy wasn't very strong, he was certainly good at talking; otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to win over so many people.

"Relying on our name?" Chopper immediately objected, saying, "How could they do that?!"

Isn't this ruining the reputation of the Straw Hat Pirates?!

Nico Robin gave a thoughtful look, wondering who was so fearless as to impersonate her... They really had guts.

"A bunch of clowns."

Shakky waved her hand and said, "They'll probably be caught by the Navy soon, so there's no need to worry about them too much."

"Besides... their presence will also help you draw the Navy's attention, won't it?"

"I see..."

Chopper paused for a moment after hearing Shakky's words, then fell into deep thought.

If that's the case... then it seems we really don't need to care about those guys.

"Yes."

Shakky nodded, then looked at Usopp and Nami and said, "You two probably think the same thing, right?"

Upon hearing this, Usopp and Nami both laughed.

"Why not use such a good shield?" Nami laughed.

It would be even better if the Navy captured these people, so that... they could safely reach Fish-Man Island!

Thinking of this, Nami smiled even more happily.

"That's true," Usopp nodded in agreement.

"The presence of this group will indeed help us draw the navy's attention," Xi Yan said, stroking his chin. "That way, we can set sail smoothly."

Although it won't take too long, as long as they can get out to sea safely, that's enough!

Then, Xi Yan turned his gaze to Luffy and said, "Luffy, what are your thoughts?"

"Ah?"

"I wanted to ask you, do you want to go and beat them up?" Xi Yan said.

"If necessary, I can also teach them a lesson," Perona added.

As she spoke, she floated up, her eyes becoming somewhat sharp.

Although she is not a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, she is now willing to do her part for Straw Hat Pirates.

No, thank you.

Luffy shook his head and said, "Anyway, they're not real. Going out to sea for an adventure is more important."

This time, Xi Yan simply smiled and nodded, without saying anything more.

Clearly, Xi Yan wasn't surprised by Luffy's answer.

Then, Xi Yan looked at Shakky and said, "By the way, Shakky-jie, were any of those guys impersonating me?"

As if he had thought of something interesting, Xi Yan smiled and narrowed his eyes.

'It would be hilarious if someone actually impersonated me,' Xi Yan thought to himself with a smile.

After all... the World Government hates him to the core!

If someone does that, they will face a furious retaliation and hunt from the World Government!!

By then... even death might become a luxury for the imposter!

"Who would dare?" Shakky rolled her eyes and said.

This guy attacked Mary Geoise, so who would dare impersonate him under these circumstances?

Anyone who does this is doomed!!!

Anyone with a brain wouldn't do that, unless they wanted to die!

"Looks like these guys do have some brains after all," Xi Yan said, stroking his chin.

Of course, it's only a little, but not much.

"Forget about impersonation, even if someone spreads the word that you're still alive, that person should be arrested and thoroughly interrogated," Shakky said.

To prevent Xi Yan from still being alive, the World Government will definitely do this!

"That's true," Xi Yan said.

Although he was considered 'dead' by the World Government, they didn't allow them to take his body away!

Therefore... once the World Government receives this information, it will definitely send people to arrest them!

"I wonder what the World Government's reaction will be after they discover that Xi Yan is still alive," Nami said with a smile.

Xi Yan thought for a moment, then said, "They'll probably be so surprised their jaws will drop, and then they'll immediately gather a large army to surround and annihilate us."

"A large-scale military encirclement and suppression...?"

After thinking about that scene for a moment, Nami said, "The scale of the Buster Call?"

"It could be even more outrageous than the Buster Call," Nico Robin said.

Given what Xi Yan did, it's possible that the Navy would have to deploy two or three Admiral, so... the size of the fleet would definitely be even more exaggerated than the Buster Call!

"Then we need to become stronger," Usopp said.

This is the only way to protect their comrades!

The others exchanged glances upon hearing this, and then burst into laughter.

Clearly, they had the same idea as Usopp.

To protect their comrades, they are willing to put in even greater efforts!!

Seeing everyone's reactions, Xi Yan felt a warmth in his heart and said, "Then let's all cheer each other on!"

"Profound!"

At this moment, everyone laughed even more heartily.

Then Usopp asked, "By the way, what's the situation with Brook now?"

Franky was on the ship, Sanji went to find Merry and Zoro, and then... only Brook was missing.

"Shakky-jie has already contacted Brook," Xi Yan said, glancing at Usopp. "He should be on the ship soon."

As for whether Brook is willing to give up her current career...

You must be joking!

He's a member of the Straw Hat Pirates, how could he possibly give up being a pirate for something like this? He certainly doesn't believe Brook would give up being a pirate.

"Doesn't that mean... we're All Members Present!!"

"That's right!"

"Yoshi~"

Luffy his hand on the table, stood up, and said, "Now that everyone's here, let's set off!"

"Target: Fish-Man Island!"

"Profound!!"

Seeing the little ones' smiling faces, Rayleigh and Shakky also smiled.

At that moment, they seemed to see their past selves.

Rayleigh then said, "I'll go with you, and while I'm at it, I'll take care of the navy on the island for you."

Although the chances of Marine Admiral appearing on this island are not high, it cannot be 100% certain that it won't happen, so he would have better go with him.

"No need, we can handle it ourselves," Luffy grinned, showing his teeth.

Rayleigh paused for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled and said, "Then I wish you a safe journey!"

"Profound!"

"Goodbye, Uncle Rayleigh, Shakky ~"

Goodbye~

After watching the group leave, Rayleigh remarked with some emotion, "I wonder what kind of reputation they'll make in the New World."

"You'll know in a while, won't you?"

"That's true."

Rayleigh nodded, and then a hearty smile appeared on his face.

At this moment, he truly began to look forward to it.

Looking forward to... the day Luffy becomes the Pirate King!

Shakky smiled upon hearing this, and then took out the Specialty Liquor that she had been treasuring for two years.

Rayleigh:!!!

Rayleigh's heart skipped a beat the moment he saw the drinks.

"Drink up," Shakky said. "Now you have no excuse, right?"

Rayleigh:...

Looking into Shakky's bright eyes, Rayleigh sighed silently.

"Why."

Meanwhile, on the other side...

At the Marine Branch in the Sabaody Archipelago, the naval personnel were urgently assembling.

"Wow!!!"

"Everyone, assemble immediately!"

"What happened?"

Hearing the voice coming from the radio, a look of doubt appeared in Sentomaru's eyes.

Could it be that another Supernovas has arrived on this island?

"Sentomaru-bro, we've spotted the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"What did you say?!"

Upon hearing the words of the marine in front of him, Sentomaru's pupils shrank to their maximum size.

He then asked, "Can you confirm the accuracy of the information?"

"Can."

The Marine nodded and said, "Our men have located the Straw Hat Pirates ' rendezvous point!"

"Okay, I understand!"

After receiving an affirmative answer, Sentomaru turned and walked outside without hesitation.

He's going to lead a few Pacifista to wipe out the Straw Hat Pirates!

"Sentomaru-bro, should we notify Admiral Kizaru to come over?"

"There's no need for that." Sentomaru shook his head and said, "I can handle them with a few Pacifista."

Without the Blood-Eyed Ninja, the Straw Hat Pirates are nothing to fear!

"Yes!"

After watching Sentomaru leave, the Marine turned and returned to his unit.

Subsequently, a group of people were ordered to go to the Concert Hall in the Sabaody Archipelago to arrest people.

"That's the guy!"

Seeing Brook standing in the shadows, the marines instinctively gripped their weapons, their expressions becoming tense.

"The navy..."

Noticing the Marines hiding in the shadows, Brook muttered subconsciously, "Looks like my identity has been exposed."

Oh well, today is his last concert anyway, so there's nothing to worry about.

With that thought in mind, Brook picked up his guitar and walked into the light.

"Sorry to keep everyone waiting~"

"Ah!!"

"Soul King!!"

The fans' eyes were filled with fervor as they watched Brook holding his guitar.

Just then, some sailors rushed out from the shadows, brandishing Flintlock and aiming them at Brook.

"That's enough, Brook!"

"Huh?"

"Navy?!"

Why is the navy here?

The audience was stunned when they saw the navy suddenly rush out and surround the area.

The sailors ignored the audience's reactions and stared intently at Brook on stage.

Then, a man pulled out a Wanted Order and said, "Is this you?"

"The acting captain of the Rumbar Pirates, Brook, a pirate with a bounty of 33 million Beli!"

"How is that possible? How could the Soul King be a pirate?"

"That's right, you must have made a mistake!"

"There's no way we're mistaken!" the Marine said without hesitation. "This man is none other than the pirate Brook."

"Not only that, he's also a member of the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"Varied...?!"

The audience was stunned by the navy's announcement.

Their Soul King... is actually a member of the Straw Hat Pirates?

"Brook is a pirate?"

"Not only that, he's also a member of the Straw Hat Pirates?"

"This... how is this possible?!"

"But that's what the navy said..."

"That doesn't make sense either. Wasn't it said that Straw Hat might be dead? But this..."

Brook, who had been listening to what the audience below was saying, gradually began to feel conflicted.

Before he could say anything, three men armed with weapons stepped out from the side.

"You're finished, Brook."

"Broker..."

Looking at the faces of the three agents, Brook said in a complicated tone, "So it really was you guys who did this."

"Why?"

"Because you've started thinking about retiring!"

The agent looked at Brook with a grim expression and said, "You could have made a fortune riding on your popularity, but you insisted on quitting at this crucial moment... What are we supposed to do now?!"

Without Brook, their cash cow, their company would be unable to continue operating.

Therefore... therefore, he absolutely would not allow Brook to leave peacefully!

"Just because of that?"

"That's right!"

Without hesitation, the agent pulled out a pistol, pointed it at Brook, and said, "That's why!"

Rather than letting this cash cow go, we should destroy it!

Brook paused for a moment, then said with mixed feelings, "Agent, thank you for your care over the past two years."

"And thank you for bringing me to this island!"

Upon hearing Brook's words, the agent was immediately stunned.

At this critical juncture... how could they still say such things?

he...

You're not angry with us?

He had expected Brook to throw a tantrum and say some harsh words, but instead she thanked them instead.

What... what does this guy mean?

"What's the point of complaining?" Brook said calmly.

Brook's words completely stunned the agent. This man...

Ignoring the other person's reaction, Brook turned to look at the audience, taking in everyone's reactions.

Then, he picked up the microphone and said softly, "This island, for us, is an island of regret, a place where we once experienced defeat."

"But at the same time... this island is also an island for starting anew!"

As the audience listened to Brook's words, a look of confusion gradually appeared in their eyes.

What exactly is this man trying to say?

But before they could even voice their doubts, Brook shouted it out loud.

"The Straw Hat is dead?"

"Stop joking!"

"He's destined to become the Pirate King, how could he possibly die?!"

"Now, I officially announce this to the world!"

"Luffy Straw Hat Pirate... is still alive!!!"

"Huh?!"

"Eh!!"

Hearing Brook's words, the audience's eyes bulged out in shock, their faces filled with disbelief.

The man who supposedly collapsed during the Marineford War... he's actually still alive?!

"Quickly, send this message back to headquarters!" a man dressed as a reporter said anxiously, "We must send this message out immediately!"

The Straw Hat Pirates have officially revived... This is absolutely Big News Morgans!!

As if imagining the days of promotion and salary increase in the future, the reporter's eyes suddenly lit up with a fanatical look.

Fame, money, beautiful women... he wants them all!

Hahahaha!

"The Soul King!" a spectator shouted, mustering his courage. "Where's Straw Hat Luffy?!"

To prove someone is alive, you need evidence.

"Yohohoho~"

"A man like this can't stay silent forever. Just wait and see!"

The fans fell silent after hearing Brook's words.

Then, a woman called out, "So... Soul King, are you leaving?"

If he were to leave now... wouldn't they never hear this man's singing again?

Thinking of this, her heart was filled with reluctance.

"That's right, I'm going to follow Captain Luffy and leave this place together."

Brook nodded and said, "But... before that, let me perform one last song for everyone!!"

"I am Brook, the Soul King loves you to the bone!"

The fans were silent for a moment after hearing this, then cheered enthusiastically.

"Profound!!!"
