Luffy Died When He Set Sail, And At The Beginning, I Become The Sun God?

The fleet sailed towards the south of Gaya Island and entered the target area after several hours of navigation.

"Wow!! Look, Luffy, what is that?" Usopp exclaimed loudly, holding a telescope.

In the distance, there was an incredibly massive cumulonimbus cloud that almost covered half of the sky.

In the center of the cloud layer, there was a pitch-black thundercloud that concaved upwards, forming a terrifying and profound hole.

"That's probably it," Johnny said excitedly.

"Yeah, it must be it. Will the Knock-Up Stream be below that cloud?" Joseph looked into the distance and took a sharp breath.

When faced with something enormous, humans couldn't help but feel a sense of insignificance.

Shouts came from the Monkey Pirates' ship.

"Mr. Luffy, the appearance of the cumulonimbus cloud is earlier than expected. We will expedite the exploration of the specific location of the sea current. Your three ships should head towards that direction first!"

Luffy made an OK gesture and immediately ordered everyone to turn the helm towards the center of the cumulonimbus cloud.

On the other side, Nami on the Sunny Go immediately ordered two of the three female agents to steer the ship's bow.

Why two females... because Miss Goldenweek was a little girl, and in a group of adult women, little girls would always receive some preferential treatment.

The Going Merry.

Bellamy took a deep breath and shouted to his subordinates, "Follow them!"

"Okay!"

There were many crew members who chose to follow. Even Satch, who had previously advised against Bellamy, followed suit.

"I must be crazy, Bellamy. We're all crazy!" He nervously lit a cigarette and anxiously took a puff.

"If you don't want to go, there's still a choice. You can return on the ship of the Alliance of Ape Mountain," Bellamy stared at the vast cumulonimbus cloud, grinning. "No matter what you say, I won't change my mind, Satch!"

"You idiot! I'm the vice-captain. If even I don't go, everyone will give up like me!" Satch threw the cigarette he had only taken one puff of onto the deck and stomped on it fiercely. "Now we can only believe in that Shichibukai's words! Ahhh, it's better to sleep with women in a hotel!"

"Haha, remember the initial feeling of choosing to set sail!" Bellamy clenched his fist, suppressing the restlessness in his heart. "From North Blue all the way here, the comfortable life in Mock Town made us forget about the sea! I've made up my mind, Satch. If Sky Island really exists, I will choose to embark on an adventure once again!"

"Bellamy....."

Sachis paused for a moment, then sneered, "Assuming we can survive, you idiot!"

Three pirate ships formed a single-file line and entered the range of Jidiyun.

The sky immediately became extremely dark, and if one looked up, they could see the deep hole above their heads, as if it could suck away one's soul.

Below the hole in the deep cloud layer, the seawater was swirling, getting faster and faster, gradually forming a massive whirlpool.

All three ships were carried by the swirling current, slowly heading towards the center of the whirlpool.

"Is this the place?" Nami shouted loudly.

A reply came from the Monkey Pirates' reconnaissance ship.

"Yes, Miss Nami. It is estimated that in another fifteen minutes, the Knock Up Stream will erupt, and you will enter the interior of the whirlpool!"

The interior?

Nami looked at the terrifying whirlpool and felt a chill.

The Sunny circled around the whirlpool, getting closer to the center with each revolution.

And at the center of the whirlpool was a bottomless darkness.

"Will we be swallowed by the darkness if we fall down? There might be some terrifying monster waiting for us with its mouth wide open," Robin said calmly.

Vivi and Nami were frightened.

"Ah, please stop, Miss Robin!"

"Shut up, Robin!"

Miss Valentine controlled the helm, but now she was caught in the current and couldn't control it anymore.

She could only watch helplessly as the ship slid towards the center of the whirlpool, sweat streaming down her forehead, and forced a dry laugh, saying, "Hahaha.... luckily, I have the Weight-Weight Fruit ability. If worse comes to worst, I can fly."

Beside her, someone crossed their arms and said, "Are you an idiot? If something happens to them, do you think Captain Luffy will spare us?"

Valentine: ""

Don't say anything, damn it, why do you always like to scare people!!

Suddenly, the ship broke free from the whirlpool and, due to the steepness, fell directly towards the dark center.

In an instant, except for Robin, all the women screamed, making a collective "ah" sound.

Immediately after, the Merry Go also followed suit and fell.

Compared to the women, the men were naturally calmer, except for Usopp and Chopper, the timid members.

They were also screaming, even louder than Nami and the others.

"Hahaha."

Luffy couldn't help but laugh and turned to look at Bellamy's ship.

His ship was much larger than the Sunny, and it was also falling along with them.

Boom!!

The three ships fell into the darkness one after another, amidst screams, finally hitting the bottom.

Only then did everyone realize that while they were falling, the whirlpool had gradually subsided.

At this moment, the sea surface was extremely calm, as if it were the eve of a storm.

"Luffy!" Nami shouted, "We probably have about five minutes, so be prepared!"

"Got it... Huh?"

Luffy responded and suddenly frowned.

He jumped down from the bow of the ship and looked towards the southwest.

In his Observation Haki perception, a powerful aura was approaching.

"What's wrong, Luffy?" Zoro noticed his expression and asked in a deep voice.

"It's a Marine Admiral, Zoro."

Luffy squinted his eyes slightly and walked to the edge of the ship to look.

On the calm and unruffled sea surface, a tall man in a suit was riding a bicycle towards them.

"Marine Admiral!?"

Everyone was shocked.

Sanji calmly said, "What are you panicking about? We are the pirate crew under the Shichibukai, colleagues of the Marines... in a different department, I suppose?"

We are all organizations under the World Government, so you could say that, reluctantly.

At this moment, Aokiji rode his bike with one hand and raised his right arm to wave at everyone. "According to the route, you guys would indeed be in a place like this. Monkey D. Luffy! Are you going to Sky Island?"

"Are you planning to go there, Aokiji? What's the matter?"

Luffy could probably guess what this guy was here for.

"I can't allow that, I also have a mission."

Aokiji scratched his head and immediately stopped the pedals.

In the next moment, the sea rapidly froze under the wheels of the bicycle, instantly freezing the sea area within a radius of several kilometers.

Three pirate ships were all fixed on the surface of the sea.

"What, what?" Nami said in surprise, "Luffy, what's happening?"

"Nothing, nothing happened."

While saying that, Luffy lightly jumped off the Merry Go and walked towards Aokiji, slowly saying, "You guys go up first, I'll come over later."

The Spring Snail.

Satchis said in shock, "What's going on? The Marine Admiral actually appeared? You saw it too, Bellamy!"

Bellamy had the same astonished expression.

From the scene, it seemed like the Shichibukai and the Marine Admiral were going to fight. Why? They should be on the same side, right?

The Merry Go.

Zoro's face looked grim as he said in a deep voice, "Usopp, Sanji, Johnny, Yosaku, Bartolomeo, secure the ship, the Knock Up Stream is coming!"

His Observation Haki had already heard the sound from the bottom of the sea.

"As for here, leave it to Luffy!"

The Sunny Go.

Robin covered her mouth, her pupils shrinking suddenly.

......!

They're here to capture her!!

"......"

"Shut up, Robin!" Nami's face turned serious as she clenched her fist and whispered, "We have to believe in Luffy! If we can't even trust Luffy, then who can we trust?"

Robin couldn't say anything in response.

Will these people protect her in front of the Admiral?

Vivi held her hand and gently reassured her, "Don't be afraid, Robin. Aren't we comrades? We have to believe in Mr. Luffy!"

On the icy surface.

Luffy's Haki continued to rise, he raised his right hand, moved his fingers, and made a cracking sound.

"I don't care what your mission is, I have some free time, so let's have a little fight."

Aokiji stood next to his bicycle, silently rubbing his head.

Full of youthful energy... truly worthy of Garp's grandson!

Does he even know why I'm here?

"Monkey D. Luffy, I have also received many favors from your grandfather in the past. Now that you are a Shichibukai, do you seriously want to fight me?"

After a pause, he continued, "I'm just here to take away a woman, her name is Nee...!"

Boom!!

Suddenly, a tremendous force emerged from the sea.

The frozen sea surface created by Aokiji was instantly shattered, and the sea rose, lifting a pirate ship.

Immediately after, a loud rumbling sound echoed.

The terrifying impact lifted the three ships into the sky.

"Ahaha..." Aokiji looked up, casually laughing, "If you want to go to Sky Island, there's a safer route. The death rate of the Knock Up Stream is 99%. Your companions might fall down."

"No, I have an excellent navigator."

Luffy grinned, "Are you here to take Robin away? Give up, with me here, you won't take anything away."

"So you knew." Aokiji wasn't surprised.

"Without her, how could I decipher the historical texts on the four road poneglyphs?"

"This is an order from the government."

"The government means nothing."

Aokiji couldn't help but laugh, rubbing his forehead and saying, "I really can't do anything about you guys. Since that's the case, I'll have to use force to bring you back!"

In his words, he swung his palm towards Luffy.

Endless cold air emanated from his palm, as if it wanted to freeze even the atmosphere.

"Ice Time!"

The cold air rapidly spread, almost instantaneously freezing Luffy into a statue.

However, in the next second...

Crack, crack, crack!

Fine cracks appeared on the surface of the ice, and with a bang, the ice shattered into sparkling fragments.

"Shave!"

Luffy moved, instantly entering second gear and closing in on Aokiji.

"Close combat?" Aokiji smirked, thinking, "Does this kid really think an Admiral's close combat ability is weak? But... what kind of ability is this?"

Steam emanated from Luffy's body, and Aokiji couldn't comprehend what kind of Devil Fruit ability it was.

Luffy kicked fiercely.

Armament Haki enveloped him, hardening and causing internal damage.

Conqueror's Haki enveloped him.

Using Observation Haki to lock onto the target, Luffy predicted Aokiji's next blocking move.

In the blink of an eye, Conqueror's Haki was unleashed, and Luffy's kick had no intention of holding back.

The corners of Aokiji's mouth suddenly froze.

He lifted his right leg to block the attack, but before contact was made, the power of Conqueror's Haki was transmitted.

Bang!!

With an incredibly heavy blow, amidst a loud explosion, Aokiji was directly kicked out of his elemental form.

His body turned into an ice sculpture, as if a beam of white light flew across the surface of the ice.

With a swoosh, he flew hundreds or even thousands of kilometers in an instant.

"How is this possible...! Conqueror's entanglement!?"

The terrifying impact was too much for Aokiji to maintain his stable form. In the midst of being kicked away, his body made of ice shattered into countless pieces.

From a distance, this scene looked as if Luffy's kick had turned Aokiji into a sky full of shattered ice.

"Don't hide, just warm up a bit."

Luffy walked step by step, and his Conqueror's Haki continued to rise.

The terrifying power of Conqueror's at the Iv5 level caused even the ice surface within a radius of kilometers to violently shake and tear apart.

At the same time, outside the ice layer, the sea surface in the distance suddenly began to freeze.

Pieces of shattered ice kept piling up, gradually forming the shape of Aokiji.

He crouched down, a trace of blood overflowing from the corner of his mouth.

"At this age, you actually mastered the entanglement of Conqueror's...??"

Aokiji had a confused expression, like a black question mark.

Luffy knew that he had Conqueror's Haki, he had read it clearly in the report about the new Shichibukai.

Luffy was a Devil Fruit user, he knew that, but he didn't know the specific abilities of the fruit.

However, Conqueror's entanglement was a power that only a very small number of top-tier strong individuals could master.

"Admiral's body is really tough. After taking my dominating entanglement, you only bleed a little?"

Luffy raised an eyebrow in surprise.

The power of that blow was much stronger than when he fought the sniper yesterday.

The power that could wipe out the town of Moguya from the map, when it hit Aokiji, only made him bleed a little.

Upon hearing this, Aokiji wiped off the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, and smiled.

"Don't underestimate me, I am Admiral after all."

His expression became much more serious, his gaze fixed on Luffy. "But, it's truly jaw-dropping! Do you think Garp knows about your mastery of Haki?"

"Stop talking nonsense!"

With a step, Luffy's foot slammed onto the ice, causing it to crack. He seemed like a beam of light as he flew towards Aokiji.

Between his tightly clenched right fist, strands of black and red lightning emerged.

"Conqueror's Haki is indeed formidable, but even at a high level of mastery in Armament Haki, it can still be countered."

Aokiji didn't dodge or evade, instead, he met Luffy's Conqueror's Haki-infused attack with a punch of his own.

Boom!

Although their fists didn't directly collide, a terrifying shockwave erupted.

From the center of their clash, shockwaves spread rapidly in a spherical shape.

The speed of its expansion was even supersonic!

In an instant, the sea surface collapsed, forming a hemisphere with a diameter of one kilometer.

The thunderous sound reached even the altitude of ten thousand meters.

In the sky above Skypiea, before the golden bell of the Golden Bell Island could ring, the clash between the top experts from the Blue Sea had already awakened the Thunder God within the temple.

At an altitude of ten thousand meters.

Above the White White Sea.

Inside the temple's womb.

On the bed where the god resided.

God Enel suddenly opened his eyes.

Boom!

The rumbling sound that reached his ears made him furrow his brow.

"What is this?!"
