Luffy Died When He Set Sail, And At The Beginning, I Become The Sun God?
085 Gathering Practice! Challenge From The Fork West Blue Bandits
【You have arrived at the new island, Long Chain Island, and received a reward of 1000 adventure coins.】
【Adventure Coins】: 3985
When the system prompt appeared, the Straw Hat Crew's fleet finally arrived at the new island.
Everyone came out onto the decks of their respective ships.
"A new island~"
"There's nothing here...?"
"Is this Spring Island? The climate around this island is so comfortable~"
In sight was an endless grassland, with the sea breeze blowing and the lush green grass dancing in the wind.
The Sunny and Merry ships anchored one after another, while the Thousand Sunny remained suspended in mid-air, only lowering its height slightly.
"Everyone, feel free to explore. We'll meet up later."
Luffy announced to everyone on the Thousand Sunny's deck with a smile.
"Yaho~" Usopp excitedly jumped off the ship.
Luffy shook his head and turned to Robin and the others, saying, "You guys should go down too. I'll go check on Chopper."
With that, he jumped off the Thousand Sunny and instantly arrived on the Merry.
This ship was small and didn't have much space. Its main structure consisted of two crew cabins, a lounge that doubled as a kitchen and helm, a storage and cannon deck, and a very small bathroom.
Though small, it had all the basic functions and was well-equipped.
Luffy lifted the hatch next to the mast and jumped down. This was the second crew cabin.
In the original story, this was the male crew cabin, while the first one was the female crew cabin next door, and it was much smaller, only half the size of this one.
"Chopper, how's the research on the medicine going?"
As soon as he arrived, Luffy saw Chopper sitting at the table, tinkering with a bunch of bottles and jars.
He was very focused and didn't hear the footsteps behind him at all.
Suddenly, a voice came, and Chopper was startled, almost dropping the glass tube in his hand.
"Luffy... You scared me."
He extended his paw to wipe the sweat off his forehead and let out a sigh of relief. "I've extracted the components from the fruit, but I don't know what the specific effects will be."
When they were on Jaya Island, Luffy gave Vivi a box of six-style Devil Fruits. Since Vivi already knew two styles, she only ate four fruits. She didn't know what to do with the remaining two fruits, so she handed them over to Chopper a week ago.
After eating the six-style Devil Fruit, not only would one gain mastery over one style, but it also came with the function of strengthening the body.
For example, if one mastered "Finger Pistol" after eating the fruit, the enhancement would mainly be in the fingers. If it was "Tempest Kick," it would be in the legs. If it was "Iron Body," it would be in the muscles throughout the body. Once tightened, it would provide strong defense.
Each type of six-style enhancement had slightly different effects. But regardless of which one, the incredible effects would manifest in the body, effectively skipping the long training process.
So, with hope in mind, Vivi handed the two substitute fruits to Chopper, who possessed advanced medical skills, hoping that he could figure out something.
"Can you understand the principle?" Luffy walked up to Chopper and looked at the pile of glass bottles on the table.
"I don't understand. They are all ingredients I have never seen before. I'm sorry, Luffy. I wasted a portion of one of the fruits," Chopper apologized.
"What happened?" Luffy asked.
"I took a bite and mastered 'Finger Pistol,' then extracted the active ingredients from the remaining fruit, but the result was strange." Chopper took out two glass tubes and showed them to Luffy.
The liquid in the two tubes was both light green.
"The one on the left is No. 1, extracted from the fruit I took a bite of," Chopper explained. "The one on the right is No. 2, extracted from the intact fruit."
"The medicinal activity of the two substances is significantly different. No. 2 is less than one percent of No. 1."
Upon hearing this, Luffy smiled and patted Chopper's head.
"No need to apologize. You did a great job, Doctor Chopper."
"Stupid....stupid idiot~ Even if you praise me, I won't be happy~"
I'm so happy that I'm shy and twisted.
"Hahaha, so you're saying the essence is in the first bite?" Luffy asked with a laugh.
"You could say that, but I don't understand the reason behind it..." Chopper was very frustrated. "Just like Devil Fruits, once you eat the first bite, the remaining parts lose their effect. The Six Styles Fruit is similar, but there will still be a very small residue."
The only person in the world who can understand this problem is the scientist who claims to surpass this world by 500 years, Vegapunk.
However, this problem is not important.
Luffy pondered, "So if a portion of the liquid in Test Tube No. 2 is consumed, will the rest also lose its effect?"
"No," Chopper quickly shook his head. "I've already experimented with it. I gave a little to Carue, and it only made his body stronger, but he couldn't master the Six Styles. Luffy, do you want to use this to train everyone? It does have a strong effect, but I don't know if there will be any side effects."
Fruits produced by the system, of course, won't have any side effects.
Even Devil Fruits have no side effects, no longer fearing seawater or seastone.
Armament Haki still works. Luffy tested it on Nami and Vivi, and he could still grab their bodies.
Obviously, being hit by Armament Haki doesn't fall under the category of side effects.
Thinking of this, Luffy immediately took out a Lifespan Fruit.
"Afterwards, let's study this."
"What is this?"
"A fruit that, when eaten, grants one year of lifespan and replenishes a lot of vitality to the consumer."
Chopper's mouth dropped open, and he said dumbfoundedly, "Luffy, you can bring out anything! What else is there? Is there a universal medicine that can cure all diseases?"
His eyes sparkled, and he looked up with anticipation.
Luffy laughed, and believe it or not, he actually had something similar.
The Self-Healing Fruit. When they were in East Blue, Zoro was almost killed by Hawkeye, but one Self-Healing Fruit made him completely fine.
Unfortunately, this kind of fruit doesn't have any effect on diseases.
If it's given to Chopper for research, maybe he can really fulfill his dream and create a universal medicine.
He didn't forget the conditions Dr. Kureha mentioned back then.
"Now I don't have it, but once I find it, I'll give it to you to try. Chopper, can these two liquid medicines be taken orally directly?"
"Yes! But I suggest diluting it a bit. The quantity is small, it might not be enough for everyone."
"I leave it to you!"
Soon, Chopper diluted the second liquid medicine and made over twenty cups of light green drink.
Luffy took him and walked out of the Merry Go, arriving at the Great Grassland of Long Ring Island.
"Luffy, Grandpa!"
Mr. 3 quickly ran over and offered his own brewed black tea.
Little brother has good eyesight, huh? Luffy smiled and picked up a cup of Earl Gray, taking a sip and saying, "Gather everyone."
"Understood~"
Mr. 3 immediately went to find people.
Bartolomeo, who happened to witness this scene, was taken aback.
Damn it, he actually wants to compete with me for the position of his number one underling.
He also quickly ran over and said, "Luffy-sama! Your loyal underling awaits your call!"
"Perfect, I need your strength." Luffy nodded and said, "Your barrier fruit ability, the defense is strong, right?"
"Yes! The world's strongest defense, an impenetrable fortress!" Bartolomeo said confidently.
"Then come and assist everyone in their training."
"Huh?"
Soon, Mr. 3 called everyone back.
The Straw Hat Pirates were all present, except for Laboon, who could only stay in the sea.
"Luffy, what are you planning to do?" Nami asked.
"Today, let everyone try Chopper's latest research achievement, the Body Strengthening Water."
Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Chopper.
Chopper immediately said, "Listen to me, this is an effective ingredient extracted from the Rokushiki fruit. After drinking it, it will quickly strengthen everyone's physical strength."
Luffy added, "Its effect doesn't happen instantly, it lasts for a period of time. So, during this time, you should quickly train. There should be a good feedback."
He didn't know to what extent it would reach, and neither did Law.
In any case, today is just a test. If the effect is good, it can be promoted.
"So that's why Chopper has been busy these past few days?" Usopp suddenly realized.
Both Agent Five and Agent Three were surprised.
They had heard a little about the Six Powers fruit.
They didn't expect that they would be involved too?
"Who wants to go first?" Luffy asked with a smile. "Nami, Vivi, you don't need to, you're already superhuman."
Naturally, the two women didn't mind.
Not only did they master all six powers, but they were also Logia users. If you really wanted to say it, their combat abilities were stronger than Zoro's.
"But Luffy, I have a question," Nami said in confusion. "In that case, can we still master the Six Powers?"
"Idiot, as long as your physical fitness meets the standard, it's not difficult to master the techniques. Look at me, I haven't eaten anything, but I can still master Shave, right?"
The Six Powers are not the goal, the strength of the body is the foundation.
Having more skills is not a problem, as they are the prerequisites for Haki anyway.
And if you really want to learn, it's not like you can't learn it. Most officers at the Naval Headquarters have mastered one or two moves.
"Yes, yes, yes! I'll go first!"
Usopp was the first to raise his hand, ran to Chopper, and picked up a cup of drink, gulping it down.
He let out a satisfied groan and extended the cup forward. "Another cup!"
"There's no more!" Chopper transformed into a shark mouth. "Just enough for each person."
"I'll give it a try too."
Sanji also came over and drank a cup, savoring it carefully. He said in surprise, "The taste is really good."
"Really? Let me try too."
Robin smiled and picked up a cup, elegantly taking a sip.
Soon, everyone joined in, including Zoro, who didn't hesitate and finished it in one gulp.
Finally, the members of the special agent group exchanged glances and silently stepped forward.
Opportunities to become stronger shouldn't be wasted, right?
After Miss Kaya finished her drink, Chopper immediately said, "Kaya, your body is weak. Drinking this is good for your illness, but you shouldn't participate in training now. Your body can't handle it. Just move around more."
"Yes, Teacher Chopper!"
Kaya nodded with a smile.
...Please give me flowers...0
She wanted to learn medicine, so she asked Chopper to teach her medical skills a long time ago, hence the change in how she addressed him.
One by one, everyone drank the Body Strengthening Water.
Luffy announced, "Everyone, train in your own way. Of course, if you want to challenge it, there's Little B's barrier."
Just as he was speaking, his voice suddenly stopped.
Zoro also narrowed his eyes, and both of them looked towards the sea.
In the distance on the sea surface, a huge pirate ship was heading straight towards them.
On the deck.
"Captain, it's the Straw Hat Pirates!" the pirate in charge of lookout exclaimed.
"Ah? The Straw Hat Pirates?"
The man with crossed arms suddenly widened his eyes. "These are truly rare and important people. Rely on medicine!"
"Eh!? They're Shichibukai!"
His subordinates were all shocked.
"You fools, it's precisely because they're Shichibukai that we have to go! Who do you think I am? If you want something, you have to snatch it! This is the motto of 'Silver Fox' Foxy!"
The man who made the arrogant statement had a split hair, a red nose, an inverted eyebrow, and triangular eyes, resembling a fox.
"I'm sure the crew members of the Shichibukai must be strong, right? Let's go!"
Note: Shichibukai refers to the Seven Warlords of the Sea, a group of powerful pirates who have been granted special privileges by the World Government.
The crowd of henchmen had faces as dark as ink, and someone tried to grab the captain on the spot, but the ship continued to head towards Long Chain Island.
By the coast, there was a grassland.
Zoro grinned and said, "Oh... are they coming for us? Are they looking for a fight?"
As soon as they heard the word "fight," the men immediately smiled.
Sanji loosened the collar of his shirt and said, "Drink that water, it'll cool you down a bit. Don't worry, leave it to me!"
"No, Mr. Sanji," Mr. 3 pushed his glasses and shrugged with a light laugh, "Please leave this to me. Let me handle this pirate crew that popped out of nowhere. I am Mr. Galdino!"
"Leave it to me, I'll take care of it. It's been a while since I've used my Okama Kenpo," Mr. 2 said, jumping and performing a ballet dance in a fighting stance.
"Hahaha."
Luffy laughed and didn't stop them. He pulled over a chair, sat down calmly, and took on a spectator's posture.
Boom!
When Foxy's pirate ship reached the shore, they were greeted by a group of eager men.
On the deck, the Straw Hat Pirates nervously swallowed their saliva.
"Wait, wait!"
A woman with a cute appearance but a strange hat immediately waved her hand and spoke in a sweet voice, "We're not here to fight with you, Straw Hat Pirates. It's a misunderstanding!"
Sanji's beauty radar immediately activated upon seeing her, "Woman! A beauty~!"
"Shut up, you perverted kappa!" Zoro kicked the person down with one foot, truly embarrassing their Straw Hat crew.
"You did it, you kicked him. It seems like you're ready to die, moss head!"
Sanji stood up, and the two of them started fighting on the spot.
Foxy West Blue Pirates:
"Hahahaha!"
Suddenly, laughter rang out. Silver Fox Foxy West pointed his finger at Luffy, who was sitting on the side watching the show, and shouted,
"Seven Warlords of the Sea, Straw Hat Luffy! I am Captain Foxy of the Foxy Pirates from West Blue. I am not here to fight you, on the contrary, I am here to challenge you!"
"A challenge?"
Everyone was surprised.
Does this person have a problem? Does he even know what a Shichibukai is?
Is he planning to take them down and steal the title of Shichibukai?
"Foxy the Silver Fox, I've heard of you, the trash with a bounty of 24 million," Mr. 3 said disdainfully. "Let me be your opponent. A small fry like you doesn't even qualify to challenge Luffy's grandfather."
"Wait!"
Foxy's mouth twitched. "I said it's not a fight, it's a pirate game, Davy Back Fight!! Don't tell me you don't know? Are you really pirates?"
"Davy Back Fight?" Nami looked puzzled.
Robin explained, "It's rumored to be a game born in a certain pirate amusement park, a competition between pirate crews. The winner can plunder the other's crew members. If there are no desired crew members, they can also tear off the other's pirate flag."
"Is there such a game?" Vivi looked surprised.
"It originated from Honeycomb Island," Luffy added with a smile. "Do you see the strange pirate flag on Foxy's ship? It's not hanging on the mast, but stuck on the hull."
They looked down and indeed saw a graffiti-like flag. Below were two crossed bones, and above was a skull with what seemed like burning hair.
"That's a symbol of the Rocks Pirates, a legendary pirate crew that dominated the Grand Line before the birth of Pirate King Roger. This game is something they popularized, and many of their crew members were acquired through this method."
Pausing for a moment, Luffy continued, "Of course, the name Rocks has been erased. I doubt Foxy himself even knows the meaning of that symbol."
"Why was it erased?" Nami asked curiously.
"I'll tell you later."
Luffy looked up at Foxy and shouted, "Alright, I accept your challenge!"
