Afternoon, second floor of the mansion, Kaya's boudoir.

"Really, Mr. Merry?"

Kaya's face was full of surprise as she sat in her wheelchair, gazing out of the window at the world outside.

Upon hearing Merry's words, she turned back in surprise.

"In that Drum Kingdom, can my illness really be cured?" she asked, unable to believe it.

"Not... it's just a possibility. According to Mr. Luffy, it is the best medical country in the world!"

Merry didn't dare to guarantee, but said seriously, "I have researched information about this country and confirmed its authenticity in your parents' diary."

After finishing the conversation with Luffy, he immediately investigated the information related to the Drum Kingdom in the library.

To his surprise, he found records about this country in Kaya's parents' diary.

Now that he thinks about it, her parents probably considered taking Kaya there for medical treatment, right?

However, for safety reasons, they gave up...

"I want to go!"

Kaya answered without hesitation, but then hesitated, "Will this be too much trouble for Mr. Luffy? I owe him a great debt, my life is thanks to him..."

"It will indeed be troublesome for Mr. Luffy, but this is something he brought up himself, Miss Kaya. You need to seriously consider it. This journey will be dangerous, after all, it is the Grand Line."

Kaya nodded lightly, her eyes filled with melancholy as she looked out of the window, watching the birds flying among the branches.

"I envy them, it must be nice."

...

The next day.

Syrop Village, in the forest.

Zoro, shirtless, held a huge stone in his hands, repeatedly lifting it up and putting it down.

"Training?" Luffy strolled leisurely, eating a banana as he walked over.

"Luffy?"

Zoro put the heavy stone down with a thud and said, "To defeat Hawk-Eye!"

Great determination!

Taking matters into his own hands!

Luffy smiled and said, "Seeing how hard you're working, as the captain, I have to teach you a few things."

"Do you want to teach me Armament Haki?" Zoro grinned.

"No, today I'll show you the other two types of Haki." Luffy shook his head.

"The other two?"

"Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki."

As he spoke, Luffy closed his eyes and beckoned to Zoro, saying, "Pick up your sword and attack me as much as you want."

"With your eyes closed?"

Zoro was dumbfounded.

"Come on!"

"I won't be responsible if you get hurt, Luffy!"

Zoro immediately drew his sword and launched an attack on Luffy.

Lunge! Uppercut! Horse-stance cleave!

No matter what moves he used, no matter from which tricky angle he attacked, they were all easily dodged.

After a series of attacks, Zoro started to get frustrated.

"Why can't I hit you?!"

One sword wasn't enough, so he used two swords!

Finally, it evolved into the Three-Sword Style!

However, the result was no different.

"This is Observation Haki. I can hear the breath of your muscles and predict your attacks. Unless your sword is faster than my evasion, you will never hit me in your lifetime."

As he spoke, Luffy opened his eyes and in an instant, a wave of Conqueror's Haki pressed down on Zoro.

Thud!!

With the will of a conqueror, it possessed a power that made people submit.

Zoro's pupils contracted, and he immediately jumped back a distance, shocked as he said, "What was that just now?"

"Conqueror's Haki," Luffy explained, "It is a power that only those with the potential of a king can awaken. You also have this talent, but you haven't awakened it yet."

I also have it?

Zoro said incredulously, "How do I do it? Just stare with my eyes?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Luffy rolled his eyes speechlessly, "It requires a strong stimulus, like anger, sadness, killing intent, and so on. Any of these could potentially awaken it."

"Even if you say that, I don't understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Conqueror's Haki is still too early for you. Instead, learn Observation Haki and Armament Haki first."

Saying that, Luffy picked up a resin from the ground, wrapped it in Armament Haki, instantly hardening it to the strength of steel.

"Come on, real combat is the fastest way! Squeeze out your potential, push yourself to the limit, and you will eventually awaken it, right?"

This was not only training for Zoro, but also Luffy's own practice.

The two of them quickly engaged in a fierce battle.

...

Another day passed.

Because they knew about the other side's actions in advance, when the Black Cat Pirates landed on the coast, they were immediately targeted by the Marines.

As soon as they landed, a large number of pirates were shot dead by bullets.

Among them, several executives:

Vice Captain, Hypnosis Master, Zangao, bounty of 9 million berries.

Cat brothers, Buchi and Sham, each with a bounty of 7 million berries.

Zoro took on the three of them alone and defeated them!

Finally, the Marines cleaned up the battlefield and the surviving pirates were escorted onto the warship.

After the danger was truly resolved, Luffy planned to leave.

By the coast.

Merry came running, panting, "Wait, Mr. Luffy."

"Merry," Luffy stood on the deck of the Going Merry, hands resting on the railing, and said with a smile, "The pirate business has been resolved, so you can rest assured."

"Yes, thank you very much!"

Merry bowed first, then straightened up and said, "Regarding what you said earlier, Miss Kaya has made a decision."

"Is she going to come with us for treatment?" Nami's eyes turned into the shape of berries.

After hearing about it from Luffy, she immediately thought of making a big profit!

"Yes!" Merry nodded, "We will trouble you."

"Where is Miss Kaya?" Nami looked behind Merry but didn't see her.

Just as she was speaking, Kaya's voice came from the other side.

"Mr. Luffy, Mr. Nami."

Both turned their heads.

They saw a light sailboat slowly approaching from the other side of the coast.

This boat was smaller than the Going Merry, and Nami didn't feel much about it.

But for Luffy, it had a familiar feeling.

The Going Merry!

He would never forget the scene of the ship being burned.

It was all because of those idiots in the original story who didn't know how to cherish it. After entering the Grand Line and arriving at Water 7, the Going Merry couldn't hold on anymore.

But this time, he was the captain.

He would definitely make the Going Merry reach the final island!

"Miss Kaya."

Luffy, on the deck of the Going Merry, saw Kaya standing alone.

"Yes, Mr. Luffy, I will trouble you for some time."

When the ship approached, Kaya said very politely, "This ship was designed by Mr. Merry. I don't know how to repay your kindness, so I heard that you wanted a new ship, so I will give this one to you."

"Thank you so much."

Luffy shouted towards the nearby warship, "Zoro, this ship will be your ride from now on. Don't you want to thank Miss Kaya?"

"Huh?"

Zoro, leaning on the railing of the warship, holding a bottle of alcohol, grinned and said, "Thanks. A ship for my first mate? Not bad!"

Kaya covered her mouth and chuckled.

"It's great that you like it."

Seeing this, Luffy reached out and pulled her onto the Going Merry.

"Nami, take care of Kaya, her health is not good."

Nami nodded with a smile and looked at Kaya as if she was looking at a walking berry.

"Kaya, I will take care of you until you get better."

"Yes, Miss Nami, thank you!"

"Don't worry, when we reach Drum Island, there will definitely be a doctor who can cure you. Luffy, he always keeps his promises!"

Nami comforted gently.

"Yes!"

Kaya nodded happily.

She also wanted to be able to soar freely like a bird, instead of sitting in a wheelchair, looking out the window at the outside world.

"Then let's set sail."

Luffy nodded in satisfaction and immediately jumped onto the Going Merry.

"Set sail, hoist the anchor!"

As the ship slowly sailed out, a figure carrying a huge package rolled down the slope.

"Wait!" Usopp shouted anxiously, "Luffy, take me with you, I..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He rolled back and forth, hitting the sides of the slope a few times, and when he rolled to the shore, he had already fainted.

"Hahaha, get on the ship! I thought you wouldn't come, Usopp, that would have disappointed me."

Luffy didn't mind bringing Usopp along. He quickly reached out and grabbed the fainted Usopp onto the Going Merry.

[Recruiting crew member Usopp, talent: slingshot, reward: 400 adventure coins]

In the system prompt.

The Sunny carried Nami and Kaya.

The Going Merry carried Luffy and Usopp.

The warship carried many pirates and Zoro, who was drinking alone.

The three ships slowly sailed towards the sea.

On the shore, Merry the butler sincerely blessed, "Fair winds, Mr. Luffy, I entrust Miss Kaya to you!"
