Luffy's reason for not intervening is simple: he completely disapproves of Bellamy and his group's so-called new era and disdains fighting with someone like Bellamy.
Shiraishi and Retsu Unohana watched this scene from the tavern, with no intention of intervening.
Even just watching makes me want to beat Bellamy and his gang to a pulp.
Fortunately, they did not harm Nami.
If Bellamy and his gang were to even think of harming Nami, Luffy and Zoro would probably have already beaten them all to a pulp.
In the end, Nami stormed out onto the street, dragging the two of them back, completely baffled as to why they didn't beat those guys up.
His face was flushed with anger.
Retsu Unohana wanted to go forward and treat them, but Shiraishi stopped her. What followed was one of the most breathtaking scenes in One Piece.
Besides, both of them have incredibly thick blood vessels; although it looks serious, they're actually perfectly fine.
"Hahaha! The cherry pie here is truly unparalleled!"
Bright sunlight streamed down from the sky as Blackbeard sat on the ground, eating cherry pie and making hearty noises.
"You're the one from earlier..." Nami stopped in her tracks, instinctively letting go of Luffy and Zoro, causing them to fall heavily to the ground.
"Little girl, what are you still angry about? They both won this fight!"
Blackbeard explained to Nami while eating cherry pie.
Luffy his head to look at Blackbeard, thinking of Shanks and Äs. Only people like them could understand who the winner of this fight was.
Blackbeard looked at Nami and laughed, "You were quite fierce just now, weren't you? What a bold woman, hehehe."
"The new era those guys talk about is nothing but a pile of shit!"
He mercilessly mocked Bellamy and his crew, saying that the so-called new era wasn't some low-level, boring nonsense. "What do you mean the era of pirate treasure hunting is over?"
Blackbeard spread his arms wide, looked up at the sky, and laughed.
"Hehehehehe!!"
Luffy, Zoro, and Nami watched Blackbeard laughing.
"Human dreams never end!"
Blackbeard, holding a bottle in one hand and pointing the other at Luffy and his Luffy, said, "I told you so!"
Instead of their excitement, those around them laughed again, "Haha, why are you suddenly shouting like that?"
"What do you think of people's dreams?" "Haha, hilarious! This guy probably thinks he's so cool, how stupid!"
Blackbeard didn't care. "Enduring humiliation is no easy feat, hehehehehe!!"
"Let those who want to laugh laugh. If you want to stand at the top, you'll encounter battles you don't even need to lift a finger in your sleep. Hehehe~"
Nami frowned and said, "Let's go."
Luffy didn't move; he was still watching Blackbeard, Blackbeard was also watching Luffy.
" Luffy!" Nami called out again.
Blackbeard then stood up and said, "Did I disturb you? Why are you in such a hurry? I hope you make it to Sky Island."
With that, Blackbeard turned his head, gulping down a drink, and let out his signature "jae-ha-ha" laugh as he left.
Nami looked at Blackbeard and said to Luffy, "That guy just mentioned Sky Island. Maybe he has some clues. Who is he?"
"I don't know, but it's not that guy."
Luffy's face was covered in blood, but his eyes did not lose their light.
Nami looked at Luffy with a puzzled expression and asked, "Not that guy? Then who is it?"
Zoro spoke up, "It's those guys."
Nami became increasingly confused and asked, "What do you mean? Is it that guy's partner? Where is he?"
Zoro didn't answer; his mind was on that sickly man, that guy who called himself the champion.
Strong people attract each other; a man with such magnanimity will never have nobodies as his subordinates.
They are not famous yet, but they will surely become famous worldwide.
Zoro was absolutely certain that among his future enemies, that man would definitely be one of the ones standing in his way.
"Hehehe, the wine tastes especially delicious today!"
Blackbeard laughed loudly, " The World Government is truly blind! Such a bold guy, and they only put a bounty of thirty million!"
Back on the ship.
"Road, road, road..."
" Luffy!! Zoro!!"
"What happened? You guys are so badly injured? What on earth happened?" Usopp Kog'Maw and his face filled with panic.
Chopper frantically circled around the boat, shouting, "Ah! Doctor! Where's the doctor?!"
Usopp smacked Chopper on the head and said, "You are one of them, come and heal me!"
Chopper suddenly realized what was happening and began cleaning Luffy's wounds.
Usopp asked, "Did you run into some kind of giant monster?"
Luffy, all smiles, said, "No, they're pirates. But it's okay, it's over anyway."
Nami gritted her teeth, her face contorted with a volcanic eruption, and said, "End what?! I'm still furious!"
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She stood up, raised her hands, and shouted angrily, "What kind of man is this? A real man should beat those who provoke him to a pulp! No, he should raze this infuriating town to the ground!"
"This is different from what you said before!"
Zoro leaned against the railing, speechless.
"The past is the past, the present is the present! If you say another word, I'll kick you to death!"
Nami let out a roar, startling Zoro so much that sweat beaded on his forehead.
Usopp looked completely bewildered. "Why is someone who's completely unharmed so angry?"
"I don't know," Luffy replied casually. There was so much blood, but there was only a bandage on his face.
Chopper turned his head, his face full of excitement, and said, "By the way, did you find out anything about Sky Island?"
The mere mention of Sky Island caused Nami's expression to change again. Her powerful aura intimidated Usopp, who pretended to be dead and lay on the ground, Chopper immediately enhanced his fur.
Just then, Robin returned.
Why are you so angry?
Banchi.
Robin, where did you go?
"I went to buy clothes and also gathered information about the Sky Island."
Upon hearing about Sky Island, Nami's anger erupted again, and she unleashed a torrent of abuse at Robin. However, she remained calm and showed Luffy a map, saying, "This is a map of this island."
The town marked on the left is Mock Town, where we are. The place marked with an "x" is where I heard an old man who was expelled by Jaya lives.
His name is Mont Blanc Cricket, he's a dreamer, and you two should get along very well."
Robin explained what was in that place, then returned to his house.
"Then let's go there and ask that uncle named Mont Blanc."
Luffy nodded.
Shiraishi and Retsu Unohana returned to the ship, and the group left Jaya. On their way, they encountered the Masira Pirates blocking the way for the Going Merry.
The singing of the Shoujou, the king of underwater exploration, further aggravated the already battered Going Merry.
To protect the Going Merry, the group had no choice but to flee quickly and head towards Mont Blanc's location.
"It's infuriating! That wretched Shoujou! Because of what he did, the ship needs even more repairs now."
Usopp cursed as he repaired the boat with planks.
"I don't know when this ship got so dilapidated, shouldn't we replace it?" Zoro said as he repaired it.
Upon hearing this, Usopp flew into a rage and shouted, "Don't you dare say such heartless things!"
Luffy turned to Usopp with a smile and said, "Stop complaining, Usopp. The Going Merry is our comrade-in-arms, we have to do our best to fix it."
" Luffy, you are such a..." Usopp's tears of emotion had just flowed out.
Luffy smashed the repair area to pieces with one blow.
"What a damn bastard!"
Usopp roars.
"It's alright, Usopp. The Merry will know how much you cherish Going Merry."
Shiraishi patted Usopp on the shoulder with a broad smile.
Usopp looked at Shiraishi, somewhat confused by what he meant. Seeing Shiraishi about to Luffy repairs again, he angrily roared, "Get out of my way!"
He'd be better off relying on himself.
Soon, the Going Merry reached the East Blue of Jaya Island, the place marked with an X on the map.
"Wow... that's amazing!!" Luffy and Usopp stared wide-eyed at the magnificent, castle-like house, shouting in disbelief.
"That big house is his home?! He must be a very wealthy man!"
Luffy exclaimed.
Zoro retorted, "Idiot, open your eyes and look carefully."
"What dreamer? That sounds nice, but I think he's just a vain person."
Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke.
"Open your eyes wide?" Chopper pried open his eyelids with his hooves. What was the point?
Luffy off the ship and, looking at it from the side, realized that the house was just a piece of wood.
Nami put her hand to her forehead and asked, "What dream of his was it that led to his expulsion?"
Robin tilted his head and smiled as he replied, "I don't know about that. I've heard that Jaya Island has a lot of gold buried there."
"Gold?! Chopper, dig it up, there's gold!"
Nami immediately instructed Chopper to dig the ground.
Chopper was very obedient; he transformed into his reindeer form and began digging with his antlers.
Luffy swaggered into the house. "Hello, is anyone home?"
Nami found a children's book on a wooden table outside. "Hmm? What's that? A picture book, it looks very old."
" Noland the Liar."
"It brings back so many memories. I watched it when I was a kid." Sanji said with a nostalgic expression.
Nami exclaimed in surprise, "No way! It says it's published in the North Blue."
"Ah! I'm from North Blue, didn't I tell everyone?"
Sanji somewhat surprised, and then explained the origin of the book to them, "This book is a well-known story in the North Blue. Although it is a fairy tale, it is actually based on real historical events."
The Noland the Liar did indeed exist.
Nami curiously opened the picture book and began to tell them the story of the Noland the Liar.
Long, long ago, about four hundred years ago, there was an adventurer named Mont Blanc Noland. Noland often went on adventures, and when he returned, he would tell the villagers about his adventures.
However, Noland's explanations were so fantastical and mystical that no one knew whether what Noland said was true or false.
Later, after returning from an adventure, Noland went directly to the royal palace to report to the king that he had discovered the City of Gold on an island in the Grand Line, where there were mountains of gold.
Upon hearing this news, the king immediately ordered that he personally lead two thousand soldiers to see if Noland's words were true or false.
The king led his soldiers bravely into the Grand Line, defeating storms and monsters, and after many hardships, finally arrived at the island Noland had described.
But the island was covered in dense jungle; not a single piece of gold was found.
Therefore, Noland was convicted of treason and sentenced to death.
Before his execution, Noland's dying words were. "I know now, all that gold piled up must have sunk into the sea."
But the king had already given up on him.
No one will believe Noland anymore; everyone thinks Noland until his death.
After hearing this story, Luffy squatted dejectedly on the shore and muttered, "Poor... big liar."
Nami looked dejected as she gazed at Usopp and said, "Just like that... he was tragically executed before he even had a chance to become a brave warrior of the sea."
Usopp angrily Kog'Maw and roared, "Don't look at me while I speak, and don't make up sad endings on your own!!"
"Whoaaaaah~" Luffy fell straight into the sea.
Nami turned her head, looking surprised, "Ah, Luffy the sea?"
"What are you doing? Why did you fall?"
Usopp looked completely surprised.
Who are you people?
Mont Blanc Cricket is back.
"How dare you barge into someone else's home! This area is my territory. You're after the gold, aren't you? Die!!"
Mont Blanc Cricket gave him no chance to speak and attacked Sanji directly.
Ignoring the two fighting, Shiraishi first jumped into the sea Luffy.
Sanji and Cricket had barely exchanged a few blows when, just as Zoro was about to step in to help, Cricket collapsed on his own.
Chopper rushed over to check on him and discovered that it might be decompression sickness, so he moved Cricket inside to take care of him.
Then, Nami discovered a photo in the room of Cricket with the Masira and Shoujou they had encountered before, and thought, "No way..."
Hearing the gunshot, the Masira and Shoujou ran into the house and saw the Straw Hat Pirates taking care of Cricket.
My first reaction was to go and seek revenge.
Luffy's honest explanation immediately Masira and Shoujou to tears.
The three single-celled organisms unexpectedly got along well.
Cricket also woke up afterward.
Luffy didn't continue talking to the two brothers and quickly went into the house. "Uncle, I want to ask you, how do I get to Sky Island?"
Cricket lit a cigarette and laughed loudly, "Haha, you actually believe in the existence of Sky Island?"
Nami was triggered by the laughter, which brought back unpleasant memories. She wanted to punch him, but Usopp stopped her, saying, "Don't hit a sick person!"
"Huh? There aren't any Sky Island?" Luffy looked disappointed; he really wanted to go to Sky Island.
"Who knows? But I know someone who said so, but that person is a world-famous liar, and his descendants are ridiculed by the world because of him."
Upon hearing this, Luffy's first reaction was to look at Usopp.
"It wasn't me!"
Usopp immediately denied it.
