On the way to Sabaody Archipelago, everyone gathered on Hachi's ship.
Smoke swirled, and enticing aromas wafted through the air.
"Ah! It's so delicious!" Luffy's hands moved so fast they left afterimages. "I can't stop, this takoyaki is just too good!"
"It is delicious, indeed. How do you make it?" Sanji humbly asked for instructions.
"This is my first time eating takoyaki!" Brook excitedly stuffed several balls into his mouth.
Hachi's six arms moved quickly, and takoyaki after takoyaki was served to the table.
"Um, Nami, what do you think?" Hachi's voice was severely lacking in confidence.
"Mm, it's very good!" Nami smiled, she could finally face her past.
"Phew! That's good!" Hachi's spirits lifted, and his speed increased even more.
In the end, in this battle between diner and chef, the chef unfortunately lost, after all, there was a cheat.
Everyone lay sprawled on the deck, round and full.
However, because Luffy had Life Return, the only ones left in an awkward state were Chopper and Usopp.
Hachi also lay weakly on the deck, having exerted the most effort, he was already empty... Everyone gathered on the thousand sunny.
"...So, we need to go to Sabaody Archipelago to find a coating craftsman before we can go to Fish-Man Island?" Franky summarized.
The three Fishman nodded simultaneously.
At this moment, Luffy's head poked over. "So, it's all because Franky didn't build a diving function that we have to go to Sabaody Archipelago!"
"Tch, wasn't that because there wasn't enough time? Give me half a month, no, a week, and I can add a diving system to this ship!" Franky patted his chest, very proud.
"Um, I heard that going underwater can easily lead to shipwrecks and casualties. How about... we just fly over the Red Line!" Usopp offered his suggestion.
"Nani?" Sanji's head immediately shot over.
"Hahahaha! Towards Sabaody Archipelago, let's go!"
...Soon after, the thousand sunny finally arrived at Sabaody Archipelago.
Dozens of Yarukiman Mangrove trees towered into the sky, their roots exposed, the ground bubbling, and bubbles floating in the air, creating a fantastical atmosphere.
"Wow!"
Everyone was stunned by the beautiful scenery, even Luffy, who had been there once before, as he hadn't been there for fun that time.
And this time, "Finally I can have a good time!"
Everyone on the ship was eager to start.
"Alright, alright, I'll give everyone some spending money, one million Berries each!"
Nami clapped her hands, instantly attracting everyone's attention.
"One million Berries?"
Everyone was greatly shocked; they knew that before it was only one hundred thousand Berries!
Although they were rich now, for Nami, that money-grubber, to give them so much, it could only mean... she was in an exceptionally good mood!
Usopp excitedly clung to Luffy, tears streaming down his face.
"Luffy, thank you so much... you truly are a great hero, a great hero who saved us from the depths of despair!"
"Huh?"
Question marks appeared above Luffy's head.
Sanji glared, Robin smiled, Nami blushed... a myriad of expressions... Soon, the Straw Hat, holding large sums of money, walked with a powerful stride.
"Nami! Why don't I have any?" Luffy asked, puzzled, leaning towards Nami. ...Does she even dare to deduct the Captain's share?
Nami gave him a beautiful glare, then hooked his left arm. "I want to go shopping, you... come with me!"
"Eh?"
Luffy scratched his head with his right hand, a little regretful.
"What a headache, I still wanted to go to the amusement park!"
"Go, go, go, I'll go with you after I buy my clothes, okay!"
"Mm-hmm!"
Luffy's eyes lit up again... "It's Sabaody Park!"
Camie's eyes were full of longing. "I really want to go play there too!"
"Why not?" Chopper asked, a little confused.
"Don't talk nonsense, don't do anything foolish, Camie!" Hachi sternly reprimanded Camie.
"Don't worry, Camie!"
Suddenly, Luffy instantly appeared, of course, only his body, his left arm still hooked by Nami.
"If you want to go play, you can let Sanji protect you. He's a knight who protects princesses! Right, Sanji!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sanji, with hearts in his eyes, rushed over, cupped Camie's hands in his, knelt on one knee, and looked at her affectionately. "Don't worry, Miss Camie, I will protect you at all times!"
After a moment of silence, Hachi agreed... Luffy bounced back like rubber.
"Then let's go, let's buy some delicious food!"
Nami's mouth twitched. "It's to buy clothes for me, right!"
Saying that, Nami hooked Luffy and was about to head towards the shops.
"Wait!" Hachi suddenly spoke.
"Before you go in, I hope you can promise me one thing!"
At these words, everyone's expressions changed.
There was confusion, there was silence, and without exception, they all stared at Hachi.
"Once you enter the town, you will see many World Nobles,"
"You must promise me that no matter what happens in town, you will not clash with the World Nobles."
"Ding, quest issued: Celestial Dragons' Demise."
"This is a star-rated bounty quest."
"There are three Celestial Dragons on Sabaody Archipelago."
"Punch one, one star!"
"Punch three, three stars!"
"Kill one, four stars!"
"Kill three, six stars!"
"Reward: Unknown (Hint: The higher the star rating, the richer the reward!)"
System, you're causing trouble!
Luffy fell into contemplation. Killing and punching were completely different concepts. If he punched, Uncle Kizaru would probably come... Never mind, punching one is still punching, might as well punch all three!
"Oh, and take these with you!" Luffy pulled out a pile of small den den mushi.
These were system-produced den den mushi that could be infinitely reproduced... Soon, everyone had a den den mushi on their wrist.
"Contact me anytime if anything happens."
Luffy waved his hand, then was dragged to the shopping street by Nami.
As for Camie, Luffy wasn't worried at all. Before Kizaru landed on the island, no one had the ability to snatch someone from Sanji's hands.
Everyone left, each doing their own thing.
Before leaving, Zoro glanced at the number 1 on a tree.
"Number 1, huh!"
Zoro looked disdainful.
"Who would get lost? Just remember the number!"
Zoro headed towards the town.
Behind him,
The bubble that had obscured the number rose,
The number fully appeared — 41!
...Nami, in a very good mood, pulled Luffy along as they shopped.
Her beautiful hair was slightly coiled, pretty earrings hung from her ears, she had small red lips, a delicate nose bridge,
Coupled with a smooth silk blouse and a slightly pleated white half-skirt, it showed off her good figure while also making her look elegant and dignified... she had clearly dressed up carefully.
As for Luffy, a straw hat, a blue vest, and a pair of supreme great sandals, the epitome of simplicity.
Nami, with her unadorned, snow-white face and devilish figure, immediately attracted the attention of most people.
Countless men gazed at Nami infatuatedly, but her mind was entirely on Luffy, and she looked at her lover with anticipation.
The result, "Boss, I'll take some of this, this, and this, pack them all up for me!"
Luffy was seen pulling Nami's snow-white arm, arriving at a stall selling great buns, great chocolates...
"Hello, that will be 500 Berries in total!" The boss packed all the food.
"Mm!" Luffy took it with satisfaction.
"Sigh!" What more could Nami say? She could only take out a colorful banknote from her wallet and place it on the stall.
'Tch, turns out he's a kept man!'
'Why? He's only a billion times handsomer than me, how can he have such a beautiful rich woman!'
'I, I also want to experience being kept by a beautiful rich woman!'
Tears of jealousy flowed from everyone's eyes... And further away, a group of bounty hunters hid in the shadows.
"Did you see clearly?" Hunter A asked incredulously.
"I saw clearly, it's exactly the same, he is the strongest Supernova with a bounty of 1 billion Berries!" Hunter B meticulously checked the bounty poster in his hand.
"One billion Berries! If we can get this one now, we won't have to do this kind of head-losing work for the rest of our lives!" Hunter C's eyes were greedy, imagining the future.
"Bang!" A huge fist hit C's head, and a tall hunter appeared.
"Idiot, who do you think that is? Do you think Marineford are all fools?
...Is a 1 billion Berries bounty something you can just casually take?
...Of the 15 Supernovas, the Straw Hat Pirates alone account for 5. Do you think they are all weaklings?"
The hunter leader was furious. If this subordinate had gone, he wouldn't have lived either.
"No matter what others do, our Aralong Hunter Group absolutely cannot provoke Supernovas, even if it's just a small crew member, understand?"
"Understood!"
...On the other side,
Luffy was eating, but Nami, who was holding him, was a little unhappy.
"Hey! Luffy, you wouldn't be treating me as your wallet, would you!" Nami's bright eyes stared straight at him, her small mouth pouting, extremely cute.
"Hmm?"
Luffy directly stuffed a pile of chocolates into her mouth, his right hand skillfully stroking her beautiful hair.
"How could I?"
Hearing this, Nami's unadorned, snow-white face took on a shy expression.
She tightly held Luffy's arm, the sweetness of the chocolate permeating her heart!
The two walked slowly, and soon, they arrived at the clothing store!
