Pirate's Rescue

After Luffy and his gang left the Sky Island, they played "Davy Back Fight" with the Foxy Pirates on Long Chain Island. In order to save his friends (Chopper, Robin), Luffy fought desperately and finally defeated Foxy. , and regained Chopper and Robin. Afterwards, Luffy and others met Admiral Qingzhi. In order to save his group, Luffy chose to fight alone and was ultimately defeated. However, "Ao Pheasant" let Luffy and his group go because of the Alabasta incident and Logan.

"Ah, the admiral of the navy is so terrifying! We are no match for him! We were defeated in just a few seconds!"

Usopp said as he looked at the frozen seaside with fear.

"That is the navy's strongest combat power! It is God's blessing that we are alive!"

Nami said weakly as she lay on the grass.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuah, I thought I was dead!"

Chopper held Zoro's lap and cried.

"..."

Zoro held his sword and stared at the sea in a daze without saying a word. Sanji was also smoking silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

"But the Akatsuki organization is so strong! They have defeated several world government masters who are not weaker than the generals. Even Kaido, one of the four emperors, is from the Akatsuki organization. Do you know, Kuina?"

Robin asked, looking at the newsprint in his hand.

"I don't know. The teacher didn't tell me. In fact, I don't know any more about Akatsuki than you do. After the teacher sent me to Alabasta, I never showed up again. He just asked me to follow you on your adventure. The teacher said wait. When the time comes, we will meet again, and he said that my current strength is still too weak to get involved in Akatsuki's affairs."

Guina said a little depressed.

"Kuina is already very powerful. She can even compete against a naval admiral for a while. Your teacher says she is weak even with such strength. What should we do?"

Nami said painfully.

"I have decided! I want to become stronger! Stronger than my second grandfather! Stronger than anyone else!"

Suddenly Luffy shouted to the sea as if he had gone crazy, as if to vent his displeasure over the previous defeat.

Luffy is a born optimist, and the depression of losing to Aokiji was quickly overcome by the delicious food. The look on his face when he wolfed down the food showed no sign of the shock he had just received.

Later, Luffy and his team came to the Water City, intending to use the gold obtained from the sky island to renovate the severely damaged Merry, but they learned that the Merry could no longer sail. In order to save the lives of the crew, Luffy finally decided to abandon the old ship, which triggered a dispute with Usopp. After defeating Usopp, Luffy silently expressed his gratitude to Usopp. Luffy, who had lost Merry and Usopp, finally couldn't help crying.

Unforeseen circumstances bring misfortune to everyone. After losing Usopp and the Merry, Robin also left. Faced with the truth about Robin's departure, Luffy immediately ordered to recover Robin. Luffy and his gang came to the "Justice Island", an important place for the government, and declared war on the World Government, asking Robin to say "I want to live." During the battle, in order to protect his partners, Luffy's potential was stimulated, he developed "Second Gear" and "Third Gear", defeated Bruno, and defeated Rob Lucci in a hard fight.

The Golden Merrie, which was judged to be unnavigable, magically appeared in the waters of Judiciary Island and rescued the group of people. Unfortunately, after rescuing everyone, the Golden Merrie's voyage also came to an end. , unable to bear the scars all over his body anymore, the Meili broke apart on the way.

"Hey, what happened to the Meili!"

Luffy yelled in panic.

"What's not sudden? Isn't it natural?"

Sanji said through gritted teeth.

"Why?"

Luffy didn't know why.

"The Mellie has been judged to be no longer able to sail! You must have remembered it, right?"

Sanji said in a low voice.

"Uncle! It's not good! Something happened to the Meili! By the way, you all happen to be ship repairers! Please! Please help us! It has been our sailing partner until now! We just saved it Our lives!”

Luffy shouted at Icebag.

"Then let it rest in peace! I've tried my best!"

Asbagu thought of the incredible scene he saw on Hulk Island.

"rumble……"

There was a sound of knocking on Hulk Island.

"What is that sound? Is there anyone else on Hulk Island?"

Asbagu came to Hulk Island with the toolbox.

"Isn't this Straw Hat's ship? It was damaged by Aqua Laguna! It's so bad! No! It was badly damaged before!"

Abagu said after checking the condition of the Meili.

"I want to sail again! I want to sail again!"

Asbagu suddenly heard a voice, and he felt the determination contained in that voice. Asbagu guessed that this should be the ship spirit of the Meili. He decided to do his best to help the ship go to sea again, but after finishing his work, He felt that it was in vain, because he decided that the Merry was unnavigable, but just as he turned to leave, he heard another sound.

"Thanks!"

Asbagu turned around in shock and saw the Meili rushing towards the sea and disappearing into the big waves.

"I saw a miracle, a miracle of a ship that transcended its limits. Although I have been a ship repairer for many years, I have never seen such an amazing pirate ship! It lives up to its mission!"

Asbagu said with admiration as he looked at the Meili which was no longer able to sail.

"I see!"

Luffy left the Merry with his friends in an unusually low mood, preparing to see Merry off.

"So, is everyone ready?"

Luffy asked, holding a torch in his hand.

"Um……"

The Straw Hats responded sadly.

"Merry, the bottom of the sea is very dark and you will be lonely, so let us send you on your last journey! It may be better if Usopp is no longer around, but he will definitely not be able to bear it!"

Luffy sets the Merry on fire, and the fire quickly spreads throughout the ship.

"You have carried us sailing for so long, thank you, Merry!"

Luffy said looking at the Merry.

Suddenly a little light fell from the sky, which instantly brought the memories of the Straw Hats back to the days when they were with the Merry. Everyone was filled with sadness, and Chopper and Nami cried bitterly.

"I'm sorry! I want to take you all further. I'm sorry. I really want to continue taking adventures with you, but, I..."

Just as the Meili began to sink into the sea, people heard Meili's voice, and suddenly everyone couldn't control their emotions.

"We should say sorry! I can't steer, and I caused you to hit an iceberg! I even broke the sail! Zoro and Sanji are both fools, always causing damage! Although it's Usopp who kills you every time It was repaired, but the technology is terrible, we are the ones who have to say sorry!"

Luffy cried loudly.

"But, I am very happy! Thank you for always being so kind to me! I am really happy!"

In the final words of thanks, the Merry, which had carried the Straw Hats all the way, sank into the sea. Sadness spread among the Straw Hats. The Merry became the first Straw Hat crew member to quit sailing!
