The Grand Line, somewhere on the sea.
A ship with a prow resembling both the sun and a lion is sailing here.
" Xia Chen, how much longer until we reach the Sabaody Archipelago?" Luffy asked weakly, lying on the bow of the ship.
He miscalculated. He thought that once he set sail, he would reach the next island soon, but he ended up sailing at sea for more than half a month without even seeing a trace of an island.
A few days ago, I could have a lot of fun on the boat. After all, I just got a new boat and was still very interested!
But over time, even the most interesting things will eventually become boring, and that's exactly the situation he's in now!
"Soon! If nothing unexpected happens, it should arrive in half a day at most!" Xia Chen replied calmly.
Because he had been to the Sabaody Archipelago several times, he was very familiar with Sabaody geographical location and could roughly estimate how far they were from Sabaody without even looking at a map.
However, this time they did not enter the Florian Triangle again, but sailed directly to the vicinity of Sabaody.
" The Sabaody Archipelago is a very interesting place. You'll find it very fun when you go!" Xia Chen said with a smile.
"It's so much fun!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy's eyes lit up instantly, and he sprang up in a somersault.
"In that case, I won't wait any longer; I'm going to the Sabaody Archipelago right now!"
After saying that, Luffy jumped off the bow of the ship and ran towards the back of the ship.
"Um?"
" Luffy, what are you doing?" Usopp, who had just come out of the cabin, asked curiously as Luffy ran past him.
"I want to get to Sabaody Archipelago as soon as possible and have some fun! I'm so bored these days!"
Luffy answered without turning his head, and continued running towards the stern of the ship.
"What does your hurry to get to Sabaody Archipelago have to do with you running to the back of the ship? Why are you so agitated?" Usopp asked again.
"I'm going to use the method Xia Chen used before!"
" Xia Chen... what was that method before? What are you talking about? Why are you talking so incoherently?" Usopp was a little curious, but also a little speechless.
However, in order to find out what Luffy was up to, he couldn't help but follow Luffy and run after him.
Meanwhile, Xia Chen was also a bit confused. He had used his previous method—what had he done?
Xia Chen's thoughts were the same as Usopp's. Luffy's way of speaking was not something that ordinary people could understand, but considering that he was an idiot, it made sense.
So... Xia Chen followed along to see what Luffy was planning to do.
The people on their ship certainly didn't lack curiosity!
When Xia Chen arrived at the stern, Luffy was already standing on the edge of the ship, raising his right hand.
The next moment, Armament Haki instantly covered it, and it assumed a punching stance.
" Luffy, what are you planning to do...?"
Before Usopp could finish speaking, Luffy's fist lashed out, the Armament Haki emanating from it instantly unleashing a powerful strike towards the sea behind the ship.
"Boom!"
A huge crater suddenly appeared on the sea surface and continued to expand, but it appeared to Xia Chen and his companions to be getting smaller and smaller because they were flying in the sky at the moment.
That's right, just like Xia Chen did before, Luffy released his Armament Haki, which created a huge reaction force when it hit the sea surface, enough to push the ship into the sky.
"Not bad, Luffy, you've got a quick mind! You actually came up with this idea! But you might get your favorite punch later!" Xia Chen said to Luffy with a smile, his tone somewhat teasing.
because...
"What happened?!"
Nami's voice came from the front of the cabin. Upon hearing Nami's voice Luffy laughed loudly and said:
"It's alright. I wanted the ship to get to Sabaody Archipelago as quickly as possible, so I just made it fly. That'll get us there faster! Pretty clever, right?"
A moment later, Nami walked over, followed by Sanji, Robin, and the others.
But Nami remained expressionless as Luffy step by step, emanating a chilling aura.
Of course, only those on their ship could feel this aura.
As Nami gets closer to Luffy, her aura grows stronger and stronger!
Sensing the chilling aura, Usopp shivered and quickly Luffy.
At this Luffy was still basking in his own brilliant idea, laughing incessantly, completely unaware of Nami walking towards him step by step.
When he opened his eyes, sensing the eerie atmosphere, what greeted him was a fist that kept growing larger.
" Conqueror's Coating!!"
"Bang!"
Luffy's body slammed heavily onto the deck with a dull thud.
Luffy was knocked unconscious by that punch, and the bump on his head swelled up to an unbelievable height.
(╬▔盘▔)╯!
"You're so clever! Clever enough to get our ship so far away from Sabaody Archipelago, that's amazing!"
Nami was furious. She was just about to tell Sanji to turn the helm and adjust the course when Luffy pulled this stunt on her.
It seems like after just six months without a fight, they've become increasingly lawless, haven't they?
"Bang!"
After flying for a full two and a half minutes, the ship finally landed on the sea, splashing up waves that were incredibly high.
Franky was shocked by what he saw. Although he knew Luffy and his crew were strong, he didn't expect them to be this strong!
He thought Xia Chen was the only monster on this ship, but it turns out there's more... and it seems there's probably a whole nest of them!
If we consider the actual voyage, Franky has only been on board for half a month. Although he joined their pirate crew a long time ago, they were separated for half a year right after he joined, so he has never really understood the strength of Luffy and the others.
But now he understands, is it even possible for a human to make a ship fly directly?
After the initial shock, Franky suddenly seemed to remember something, his expression turning somewhat unnatural as he looked at Luffy and asked, " Luffy, isn't this taking a lot of toll on you?"
"It's alright! It's not very big!" Luffy said, lying on the ground, rubbing his head and sobbing.
"This..." Franky hesitated, then his expression suddenly turned somewhat forlorn.
"What's wrong, Franky? Why the sudden expression?" Usopp asked curiously.
ε=(´ο`*))) Sigh!
"Although you've become quite familiar with this ship over the past two weeks, there's one more feature I haven't told you about—the secret room at the bottom of the ship that I mentioned before!"
"I was planning to surprise you guys if something happened in the future, but I never expected..."
"Didn't expect anything?" Usopp asked next.
"I didn't expect it to be useless now. My hidden function could achieve something similar to Luffy's, making our ship fly into the sky. The name of this function is..."
" Coup de Burst!"
