Three days have passed since the unexpected encounter with the Red Hair Pirates.
By this time, the Nautilus had crossed three routes and arrived in waters close to the Calm Belt.
Suddenly, Noah stopped holding the pen. " Wyper, surface, adjust course, and head northeast."
"Yes, Lord Noah."
The Nautilus quickly surfaced, then turned around and sped off in a northeast direction.
Noah then commanded, " Ray, prepare for battle."
OK.
More than an hour later.
The Nautilus appeared near an island.
Noah stood on the deck, looking at the surrounding "islands," a hint of surprise on his face. "This is truly effortless; I didn't expect there to be more than a dozen Stomach Baron growing here."
"Brother Noah, there's a creature approaching from the sea," Are warned Ray.
"Just a Fish-Man." In an instant, Noah touched the surface of the sea with both hands, and the surrounding water rose to the surface.
A Fish-Man Fish-Man, wearing the Sun, wielding a flail in both hands, and covered in Armament Haki, was swimming rapidly toward the Nautilus, enveloped in seawater.
On the other side...
Inside an "island" not far away, a dwarf old man wearing a Viking horned hat, through the Den Den Mushi monitoring outside, saw the suddenly floating mass of seawater and his expression changed drastically. "Is that Golden Lion's Float-Float Fruit? But that person doesn't look like Golden Lion?"
" Byrnndi Jack, the vice-captain of the World Pirates?"
"Who?" Byrnndi Jack's expression changed, but he was too weak. Ray, who jumped out of the wormhole, knocked him unconscious with a single punch.
Because Byrnndi Jack, the brains of the ship, was subdued, the other two crew members on the Groceade were unaware of what was happening outside.
Sebastian, the Fish-Man who fought Noah, was incredibly skilled in physical combat and also mastered the Fish-Man Race's jujitsu and karate. Unfortunately for him, he encountered Noah.
Sebastian, who had just burst out of the seawater mass, encountered a large patch of iron sand and was immediately wrapped up as Fish-Man iron sand dumpling.
Even with his desperate use of Fish-Man Karate and Armament Haki, he still couldn't withstand the all-pervasive iron sand.
In terms of easily defeating weaker opponents, the Float-Float Fruit is no less powerful than Logia Fruit users. Anyone whose strength doesn't reach the level of Elite Vice Admiral is basically doomed if they encounter Noah.
This Fish-Man's strength is roughly equivalent to that of an ordinary Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral. Especially after he went blind, coupled with the accumulated internal injuries, his strength can only be considered barely enough to contend with Marine Headquarters Vice Admiral.
Noah did not kill his opponent instantly, but instead planned to interrogate him to find out his training methods for Fish-Man Karate and jujitsu.
On the other side.
Luo and Joshua, who were temporarily transferred by Noah, also found their adversaries on the Groceade.
Law faces off against Nightin, the ship's doctor of the World Pirates.
Joshua faces off against Gairam, a combatant from the World Pirates.
Inside the ship's medical room on the Groceade.
Nightin, who had briefly recovered from her pre-Lunar New Year condition through medication, looked at the little brat in front of her with a very unpleasant expression.
" Op-Op Fruit! Your luck is truly Envy, kid! But I have no interest in playing games with you. Chinese Medicine Kenpo: Aconite Pierces the Heart!"
"You have failed!" Luo sheathed his katana.
"What?" Nightin was furious and embarrassed, but the next second she couldn't speak, "Ugh..."
Nightin was convulsing and collapsed to her knees, dry heaving.
An invisible ultrasonic wave, at a special frequency, resonated with the drugs in Nightin's body. This resonance instantly caused the accumulated poison residue and hidden injuries in her body to erupt all at once. Even her Armament Haki could not suppress this backlash.
This is a unique direction that Law took in developing the Op-Op Fruit under Noah's guidance.
No matter how powerful a creature is, its body will always have weaknesses, hidden injuries, poisons, and disharmonies. Unless one does not become a carbon-based life form, these weaknesses are difficult to avoid.
Tell me your medical skills and the formula for that drug that temporarily restores youth, and I can give you a quick death.
Nightin, whose body had been dismembered by the Op-Op Fruit, wore a bitter smile, "Is this the trend of the times? We really are no longer suited to continue our voyage..."
Disheartened, Nightin revealed her medical skills and the formula for the Kogarashi Rejuvenation Medicine Luo.
Mary, who had been hiding to the side, emerged from her light-avoidance state and nodded to Luo: "She wasn't lying."
Nightin was very surprised, not expecting that there was another person hiding nearby.
Law showed no mercy, crushing Nightin's heart and giving her a quick death. As a pirate, one must be prepared to be killed; he would not show any mercy to any pirate.
Meanwhile, Joshua and Gairam were engaged in a fierce battle.
Gairam's Cube-Cube Fruit has been developed quite well.
However, the power of the Rumble-Rumble Fruit almost completely overwhelms the Cube-Cube Fruit.
Amidst a pile of cubic ruins, Gairam, panting, stared at the young man before him. "Huff... The Rumble-Rumble Fruit truly lives up to its reputation as one of the strongest Logia."
"You're the old guard of this era; it's time for you to step down." Joshua didn't waste any words.
' Wireless Power Transmission: Million Volts!'
Gairam, whose body had been partially magnetized by Joshua without his knowledge, suddenly felt a powerful electric current flowing through his body.
Sizzle...
"Ahhh..." Gairam's body crackled with electricity and blue smoke, then his eyes rolled back and he collapsed.
"Capture complete."
On the Nautilus, Noah, who was monitoring the Groceade and the surrounding area, already knew that the group had defeated their opponents, which is why he allowed Wyper to pilot the Nautilus to shore.
The entire Groceade was enormous, with a radius of about five or six hundred meters, and its surface was covered with a large number of trees for camouflage. It was an island ship, somewhat similar to Moonlight Moria's Thriller Bark.
The Noah Family soon took over the Groceade and renamed it " The World ".
Byrnndi Jack and Sebastian the Fish-Man were handed over to Mary for interrogation, while Gairam, the Devil Fruit User, was turned into Card Apostle.
[ Justice: Gairam ( Cube-Cube Fruit )]
The reason why the Cube-Cube Fruit fits the Justice in the Major Arcana Deck is that the cube symbolizes a regular geometric shape, which is quite Justice with the Justice card, which represents order.
After dealing with the World Pirates ' legacy, Noah turned his attention to Stomach Baron on the nearby sea.
The so-called Stomach Baron, also known as " Stomach Baron," is a giant carnivorous plant, the size of which is like a small island.
The most famous of these is the Stomach Baron clan, which belongs to the Boin Archipelago.
However, this does not mean that Stomach Baron only grow in the Boin Archipelago. In fact, Stomach Baron are distributed in many sea areas along the Grand Line.
The area before them, Stomach Baron, was clearly not the Boin Archipelago, because there was a man named Heracles on the Boin Archipelago, but no one existed here.
The World Pirates came here to collect food from Stomach Baron.
