Dressrosa coast...
"We've finally arrived!!" A clear and pleasant voice rang out.
"Yes, I didn't expect that even with George's sailing skills, it would take him several days to get here. Is it because his skills have declined, or is it just that we're too far from where we started?" As soon as the woman finished speaking, a slightly lazy and cheerful male voice chimed in.
"It must be because Dressrosa is too far from the original location! Don't you trust my skills?! If it weren't so far, we would have arrived long ago. This is already the shortest Luo Chen we've taken..."
"You know I've already done my best, don't blame me!!" As soon as that voice finished speaking, another voice rang out, sounding somewhat dissatisfied, and chimed in.
"Alright, everyone calm down. We don't doubt your skills, George. As your comrades, we naturally trust you completely, so why would we doubt you? The most important thing now is to land. Disguise yourselves and sneak in..." At this moment, Captain Luo Chen stepped forward to end their conversation and gave the order to everyone.
"Yes!!" When they saw Luo Chen speak, they immediately calmed down, became serious, and nodded in response.
Indeed, they were Luo Chen and his group, who had sailed at sea for seven or eight days and traveled a long way to reach Dressrosa. Under Captain Luo Chen's instructions, the group began to disguise themselves in preparation for infiltrating Dressrosa.
On the other hand, shortly after Luo Chen and his group disguised themselves and infiltrated Dressrosa, another Shura Pirates of uninvited guests barged in. They were none other than the Straw Hat Pirates of the Worst Generation and Law, the captain of the Surgery Pirates and a member of the Shichibukai, as well as several samurai from Wano Country, who were not currently part of Luo Chen Chen's Shura Pirates.
"We're finally here!!" As soon as they landed and disembarked, Luffy couldn't help but shout excitedly at the top of his lungs.
"Hey, that's too loud, Luffy! We're supposed to sneak in here secretly..." Luffy, the navigator, couldn't help but remind Nami from the ship when she heard him shouting so loudly.
"Hoo-ha!! I'm in super form this week! It's just one or two factories! Find them and I'll blast them to smithereens!!" Franky, the shipwright, still eager for trouble, struck a pose and chimed in.
"Ugh... I'm really worried about their operation this time!!" Nami said helplessly, rubbing her forehead with the back of her hand.
"..." Robin, who was standing nearby, covered her mouth and chuckled when she saw this.
"Hey, everyone come here first, let me tell you about the operation plan..." At this moment, Luo called everyone over and assigned their respective tasks.
"No matter what, this is the enemy's headquarters, but as long as Sanji is with us... wait, where's Sanji?!" When Chopper and the others, who were assigned to guard the ship, learned of their mission and the heavy burden on their shoulders, they felt relieved to have a strong backup. However, they suddenly realized that Sanji, Luffy, Zoro, and the others had disappeared without a trace, and they immediately panicked.
While they were panicking, the parties involved had already entered the city and arrived in the bustling town of Dressrosa, where they were stunned by the sight before them.
Little did they know that waiting for them there were not only Doflamingo's henchmen, but also Admiral Fujitora, Vice Admiral Momousagi, and three of the mysterious Seven Deadly Sins who had been contacted and brought in by Doflamingo.
Various forces are involved on the island, creating a chaotic and confusing situation.
In towns...
"You bet wrong again!! Uncle, this time it's black..." A commotion arose in front of the gambling den as some thugs bullied a middle-aged man who was blind and addicted to gambling, taking advantage of their good eyesight.
They tried their best to squeeze the last bit of money out of him.
"What's going on?!" The five people, who were disguised, looked over curiously when they heard the commotion.
"Looks like some thugs are squeezing money out of that blind old man!" Although Zoro only has one eye left, his eyes are still incredibly sharp, taking in the whole scene from afar, and then calmly explaining.
"Huh?!" Hearing his words, even the gluttonous Luffy couldn't help but stop eating and look over.
"Huh?! Hahaha, what good luck! We saw that guy as soon as we arrived!!" Just as the group was about to step forward and join in, a cheerful voice came from outside the tavern behind them. They couldn't help but turn around and saw Phil, dressed casually with his hands in his pockets, walking in with a relaxed air.
"Oh... it's him!!" Sanji exclaimed in surprise upon recognizing Phil's appearance.
"Even he's here, so it seems that person is here too!!" Zoro chimed in after he finished speaking.
"Who is he?!" Luffy, who hadn't paid any attention to the news, didn't know who the newcomer was and asked Zoro and Sanji beside him.
"This person is... What?! Luffy, don't you recognize him? He's one of the most popular pirate crews right now, the one from your generation, but who's gone much further..."
Even I, with my limited access to information, have heard of their exploits. They once stormed into the territory of Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors, causing a huge disturbance and then disappearing without a trace. Not long ago, they also caused a ruckus in Mary Geoise, disrupting Celestial Dragons's wedding. They are definitely the most hated pirate by the Navy and the World Government right now. Luo Chen... is one of the main forces of the Shura Pirates!!" Upon seeing Phil, even Kin'emon couldn't help but be moved, his face becoming solemn as he stared at him with apprehension as he explained.
" Shura?! The Pirate Crew?! Luo Chen?! That name sounds familiar?! Where have I heard it before?!" Despite his companion's prompting, Luffy still couldn't remember, blinking as he spoke.
"Haven't you remembered yet? Didn't we already see him on Sky Island? He's that most mysterious priest under Enel!!"
" Enel... Priest?! Oh, I remember now, it was him!!" Luffy rested his finger on his forehead, straining to recall, when Sanji suddenly reminded him, and he clearly remembered the image of Luo Chen, Satori.
"This person is one of his crew members, a pirate with a bounty exceeding 100 million. If I remember correctly, it's around 400 million, just like you!" Zoro continued from the side.
"Four hundred million?! That's a huge bounty..." Luffy was shocked when he heard the bounty amount and exclaimed with his mouth agape.
While they were still surprised by his identity, Phil had already walked up to the blind man, Fujitora, and reminded him.
"It's white! Uncle won!!" Just as Fujitora was feeling a bit dejected after hearing the gang leader say he guessed wrong, he heard Phil's voice and his face immediately lit up.
"Hey, who are you, kid?! Are you blind?! It's clearly black, don't talk nonsense, or I'll beat you up!!" Displeased by Phil's interruption, the thug looked over and spoke with a hint of threat.
"Heh heh heh, what?! You're not going to admit defeat, you're planning to distort the facts, and you even want to threaten me?! Do you even have the right to do that?!" Phil wasn't intimidated by these nobodyes. He smirked and replied coldly.
"Hmph, I just wanted you to take another good look, to see if your eyes are playing tricks on you. That area is clearly black, isn't it?!" The gang leader didn't recognize him and naturally wasn't afraid of him. He continued to twist the story, his tone becoming more forceful as he pointed to the area where the small bead had rolled off, saying each word clearly.
