Compared To The Original Luffy, This Luffy Is Way Too Curly!

Escape from the Impel Down battleship~~~

"The abilities that Buggy Dadao obtained are so terrifying. His bones are as hard as the toughest material in the world, making him practically invincible!!!"

"Yes, and he can also manipulate these bones for both offense and defense. It's like having the strongest spear and the sturdiest shield at the same time!!!"

"Plus, with his super healing ability, Captain Buggy's current strength is definitely not weaker than an Admiral!!"

"??? Are you questioning Captain Buggy's original strength?"

"No, Captain Buggy's strength was never weaker than an Admiral, and now he is truly unbeatable!"

"That's right! Even if Sengoku saw Captain Buggy, he would have to bow down and shine Captain Buggy's shoes!"

"Even the Five Elders would have to endure a slap from Captain Buggy before they dare to speak!"

...

Originally,

Just the aura and title on Buggy's body have already made these prisoners who escaped from the Impel Down prison admire him with shining eyes~~~

Now,

They have witnessed Buggy obtaining such powerful strength with their own eyes, and one by one, they have become even more subservient to Buggy!!

Having obtained the power of Dead Bone Pulse, Buggy himself understands just how powerful this power is!!

It's like giving him a cheat code!!

Coupled with his original ability to split, the combination of the two unleashes an even more terrifying power!!

This time, he is heading to the Naval Headquarters to fight alongside Captain Roger.

However... although he is determined to fight, he is actually quite panicked in his heart~~~

He is not afraid that he won't be able to defeat others,

But rather, he is afraid that once he shows a weak strength in front of Roger, it will surely disappoint Roger~~~~

But now...

With the power of Dead Bone Pulse, Buggy suddenly has great confidence!!

That bastard Shanks is now leading a Four Emperors group to help Roger, how can I, Buggy, be any worse than him?

Looking at these prisoners in front of him, although they are all different, each and every one of them is at least qualified to be imprisoned in the Impel Down prison!!

When all these numbers are added together, it is definitely a force that no one can ignore!

"Good!! Listen up! From now on, you are all members of my Buggy Pirates! Those who are willing to follow me, praise my name, and I will lead you to fame!!"

"Buggy!!"

"Buggy!"

"Buggy!!—"

...

Upon hearing that Buggy is willing to accept them into his crew, these prisoners feel as if they have reached the pinnacle of their lives, all shouting Buggy's name!!

"Red Nose, thank you!"

Luffy grinned and sincerely thanked him.

Buggy shrugged, "Why are you thanking me? Straw Hat kid, you don't owe me anything!"

Luffy smiled and said, "Because you were willing to save Ace!"

Buggy immediately chuckled, "Stop kidding! I saved him because he is Captain Roger's son, not because of you! Idiot!!"

However, Luffy didn't mind, and he still sincerely expressed his gratitude, "It's all the same, anyway, thank you very much!"

"Hmph~"

Buggy turned his head to the side, full of pride~~~

The video on the screen in the red frame continues to play~~~

[Luffy returned to the temporary camp with this Devil Fruit.]

"You mean... if you eat this thing, your skin will become as smooth as a woman's???"

With two fingers pinching the smooth fruit branch, Zoro felt very curious.

"Yes, this is the Devil Fruit catalog I copied from Shanks. Look, this one is the Smooth-Smooth Fruit, exactly the same," Luffy showed Zoro an open hand-written book.

When Shanks gave him the Rubber Fruit in Windmill Village, Luffy specifically copied the Devil Fruit catalog. At that time, he didn't have any particular purpose, he just wanted to have a better understanding of the world~~~

Now it's finally coming in handy!

"Yes, there should be some other abilities related to "smoothness." If you eat it, you can gain those abilities, but the cost is becoming a forever non-swimmer," Luffy, as an "experienced person," explained the characteristics of the Devil Fruit to Zoro.

This greatly shocked Zoro!

He looked at Luffy and said, "You're already a rubber man, so if you eat this Devil Fruit, will you become a smooth rubber man?"

Luffy couldn't help but laugh and cry, "How is that possible? If a person eats two Devil Fruits at the same time, the two demons inside their body will fight each other and explode!"

When he got the Rubber Fruit, Shanks reminded him of this.

Otherwise, Luffy wouldn't know so much.

Luffy said, "I still owe Shanks a Devil Fruit. Now that I have this Devil Fruit, when I see Shanks, I'll just give it back to him."

Just as he was about to put the Smooth-Smooth Fruit into the package, Luffy suddenly noticed Zoro's gaze.

"If you want to eat it, then you can have this Devil Fruit. But after eating it, you have to help me make money, and I'll give it back to Shanks later."

Although he had only known Zoro for a little over a month, during this time, the relationship between Luffy and Zoro had been gradually warming up~~~

If it were when they first met, even if Zoro asked for it, Luffy wouldn't give this Devil Fruit to Zoro.

But now, if Zoro was willing to eat it, Luffy wouldn't hesitate.

Because he knew that after Zoro ate this Devil Fruit, he would definitely help him make money.

However...

"What a joke? Eating it will make my skin smooth? I won't eat this thing!" Zoro waved his hand with a disgusted expression.

He continued, "Also, you already have a Demon Fruit power. If I eat a Devil Fruit, then if the ship capsizes, we'll both be done for. So, I'd rather be a pure swordsman!"

Luffy was stunned, "Huh? Are you trying to become my crewmate?"

"Hey! Don't get ahead of yourself! I didn't say that!" Zoro immediately turned his face to the other side, but still said, "But... since you sincerely invited me to go out to sea with you, I'll reluctantly agree!"

(O_o)??

Did I invite him?

A puzzled expression appeared on Luffy's face...

He hesitated and said, "Actually, I..."

Zoro waved his hand, "Alright, you don't have to say it! I understand! Inviting me to be your crewmate is the best decision you'll ever make in your life!"

Um...

Luffy thought for a moment and asked, "How long have you been at sea?"

Zoro answered, "I've been at sea for four years."

Four years!!

Upon hearing this, joy and excitement appeared on Luffy's face!

Someone who has been at sea for four years must know a lot about sailing!!

Perfect, I'm in urgent need of a navigator!

Thinking of this, Luffy said excitedly, "From now on, we're partners!"

The video on the screen in the red frame gradually dimmed at this point~~~
