I only want to be a Shichibukai when I have Bengyu

Roaring sounds came from all directions from time to time, and the smoke rising into the sky also proved the reality of the battle breaking out in this abandoned village. Nami stood by the window, looking worriedly at the direction of the flying smoke.

Her partner is right there.

"Don't do anything stupid! Miss Nami, I'm not afraid to tell you straight at this time. Your Highness has no intention of harming your companions. This is a test, a test that will be of great benefit to your companions."

Farug sat in the room, gently shaking the wine glass in his hand. The scarlet wine slowly swirled in the glass. In addition to him, Lu Qi was also tasting the red wine produced by the Kingdom of Alabasta.

Looking at Farug with a pleasant smile, and then at Lu Qi who was as cold as ice, Nami suppressed the impulse in her heart. With these two people around, no matter what she wanted to do, she would not be able to do it rashly. His actions might actually hurt himself or Luffy and the others.

"That's right! Miss Nami, you are a smart person. You can't see His Highness's attitude toward you. Why risk harming yourself? Just stay calm and wait for your companions to save you. To be honest, your My comrades do have some skills, and judging from the current situation... that straw hat guy might be here soon."

Farug revealed the information he had seen with his Haki without any scruples.

He was indeed a little surprised.

He has personally experienced how capable these former CP9 members are these days. His feeling is that these people have reached a very high level in combat skills. As long as they make up for the shortcomings of domineering, they will soon be able to Have a place in the new world.

Especially Lucci,

Look at the unsmiling man diagonally opposite.

This is a very scary guy. Once this guy masters domineering, I am afraid that I will not be his opponent.

"Hey, you two are both here!"

"...Your Highness!"

Farug and Luqi looked at the air door that suddenly opened in the room. The person who walked out of it was His Highness the Prince of the Kingdom of Ecmundo, Socacio Elus. They put down the wine glasses in their hands and lowered their heads. He saluted with his head towards Elus.

"Don't be formal, I'm just here to have fun."

Elvus's smile was as amiable as the spring breeze blowing on his face, relaxing him.

Even a blind man can feel the happy mood from the light voice.

This discovery made Farug quietly breathe a sigh of relief, as long as it was not because of any mistakes they made here. Speaking of which, Elus rarely gets angry at his subordinates, but the more so, Farug and the others On the contrary, he became more and more awed, and when he was in front of Elus, he didn't even dare to take a breath.

"Miss Nami, how about you sit down and wait for a while?"

Elus sat down on the empty sofa and extended an invitation to the girl standing by the window, who was a little at a loss.

"--good!"

Looking at Elus, Nami found that her hands and feet had become a little stiff.

There is no way to say no.

After being kidnapped by Elus for such a long time, she has actually never met him a few times. The people she usually comes into contact with are basically maids who have so many people that she still doesn’t know how many there are. She can only go through By gossiping with the maids, he tried to understand what kind of person Elus was.

"Don't be nervous, Miss Nami. The way I invited you to be my guest was a bit rough, but I really didn't mean to hurt you. On the contrary, I am very optimistic about your companions. They are still a little immature now, but they will be in the future. A big shot who can shock the whole world.”

"······"

Nami sat on the sofa in a daze, completely unable to understand what Eleus was talking about.

"However, the wave of the times will sweep across the world with unprecedented turbulence. If we don't become stronger soon... we will be abandoned by the times!" Elus turned his eyes and looked into the distance, Fire Fist and The battle in Iska continues, and Lieutenant General Gumir, the commander of the Navy's G2 branch, is quietly approaching.

In addition, Admiral Kuzan, codenamed "Aoji" from the Navy Headquarters, has already set off from Marineland.

maybe,

No need for Blackbeard to do anything.

Ace's false destiny battle is going to be in trouble!

"Lucci, go! The owl has been defeated, but the owl did a very good job this time. The six-style 'shaving' and the finger gun variant 'shouyan' are both good skills... I hope You can do better than an owl, by the way, let me give you some restrictions! Unless you think you will lose, you are not allowed to use the power of Devil Fruit."

Nami's mouth opened into an O-shape at Elus's order.

This is--

It’s really testing Luffy and the others!

Having said that, would that guy named Lu Qi really agree to such a harsh order?

"Yes, Your Highness."

Lu Qi agreed without any hesitation.

He didn't think this was a harsh order at all. He was just a little pirate who had broken into the Grand Line from the East China Sea not long ago. He was indeed somewhat capable of defeating the owl, but the problem was that the owl was pretty good at other than shaving. His overall strength In their small group, he is definitely at the bottom, probably a little better than Kalifa.

And after this period of practice, with the training of Farug and others, it is not like he has been standing still when he was lurking in the Water Capital.

"Prince Elus, what are you..."

"Didn't I tell you all? I don't have any ill intentions towards you. I personally don't like pirates very much, but pirates like you... I don't hate them. Of course, this doesn't mean I will like you. , Pirates are always pirates, even if you haven’t done anything bad, the name itself is a violation of order and tramples upon it.”

"Forget it, why are I telling you this? Well...Miss Nami, have you been poorly received by me recently?"

"...No, it's pretty good."

Eleus's attitude was very polite, which actually made Nami speak softly.

"Is there anything gained from that? I heard Fran say that you are learning navigation? If possible, I think Miss Nami, you can actually pay more attention to personal combat power. Apart from anything else, some means of escape are necessary. It doesn’t matter if you can’t defeat the enemy, but it would be terrible if you can’t run away.”

"Why are you so kind?"

Nami looked at Eleus warily.

"...Okay! Since Miss Nami doesn't want to, she won't force it. The show is about to start. You can see it by standing by the window."

————

"Damn it, Beast Strictness is obviously my move, Qia Ba Ba Ba Ba."

The owl lay among the broken bricks and tiles, looking at the blue cloudless sky, muttering to himself full of dissatisfaction.

He lost.

After a fierce battle, Luffy not only secretly learned his Sha and Juugen, but also used the "Rubber Beast Eagle Gun Random Beat" which was a pirated version of his secret "Zhuyan·Owl Ranquan" Being knocked to the ground is such a shame!

So shameful.

Several bones were broken, and he lay on the ground not wanting to move at all.

Straw Hat...What kind of monster is this! Is the progress too fast?

While Owl was resting and pondering the defeat with his few brains, an air door opened beside him, and the flying chains pulled his whole body directly into the door, but he found that he Instead of staying in the green world inside the door like before, it came out from another air door and appeared in the original police room in the center of the abandoned village.

"Your Highness?"

The owl was dizzy and confused.

Did he fly that far in the world inside the door? Why did you appear here in the blink of an eye?

The Door Fruit does not move instantaneously. Owls and the others know this very well. Although they appear to be invisible, they actually move long distances in the world inside the Door. That is a one-to-one distance from reality, but the problem is that the Owls feel He had just stayed in the world inside the door for no more than two seconds.

Eleus took back the chain.

He was too lazy to explain to Owl that his use of the Gate Fruit had reached a new level. Combined with the ability of the Staring Fruit, he could finally distort the distance of the world inside the Gate, achieving a transfer effect like teleportation. This is how he appeared in The recycling of owls in this abandoned village has the same reason.

The happy mood also comes from this.

Of course, this ability is not as powerful as Kakarot's ability to travel through the universe. He can only achieve this kind of instant transfer within the field of vision of the staring fruit, and the farther the distance, the longer it takes. There is still enough There is room for improvement for him to ponder.

"Farug, go and help the owl break the bones."

"OK."

Farug happily agreed, walked to the side of the owl, and worked with his hands. He only heard a few crisp sounds, and all the broken bones were reset. As a master who is good at strangulation, his understanding of human bones is no better than Those professional doctors are inferior, and their ability to set bones is incomparable to many old doctors.

"Your Highness, I..."

After the bones were straightened, the owl was able to sit up. Its strong physical condition requires no unnecessary explanation.

"Shh! Everyone, be quiet, the show is about to begin."

Elus said "shhh".

Farug closed his mouth tightly, and even his breathing became lighter.

The owl had no choice but to shut up and swallow those self-critical words in his stomach, thinking about finding an opportunity to speak again later.

"Luffy!!!"

Standing by the window, Nami saw the familiar figure wearing a red waistcoat and blue half-leg jeans. Tears fell uncontrollably. She had not seen him for more than two months, and it felt like three autumns... ····Even though he was not treated poorly in Elus, strictly speaking, the standard of living here was much more comfortable than on the Golden Merry.

only,

She still misses her companions on the Mellie, misses the noisy and headache-inducing but not boring days, and misses the orange trees transplanted from her hometown to the ship.

"Nami!!!"

Luffy also saw Nami standing by the window.

It's just that Lu Qi stood in front of him, preventing him from rushing over immediately.

"Nami! Wait a moment, I'll come find you right away!!"

Obviously Lucci could block Luffy's approach, but he couldn't stop the sound from spreading.

"I, I, I'm waiting!!"

Tears burst into tears.

Nami burst into tears. She was so sobbing that she couldn't raise her voice at all, so she could only nod her head.

"Are you done?"

Lu Qi calmly looked at the guy in front of him who had defeated the owl, and moved his wrists calmly, "Now that you're done, let's have some fun! As long as you can defeat me here, you can see your Companion, of course if you can’t do it, I don’t need to say more about the result..."

"I will definitely defeat you."

Luffy turned his attention to Lucci.

He declared victory in an extremely determined tone.

"I'm looking forward to it." Lucci didn't move at all. He only saw a slight movement under his feet. In an instant, he moved behind Luffy and stabbed Luffy in the back of the head with a finger gun. He said that sand blades are not allowed, but if he can't dodge such a simple attack, then even if he will be punished or even killed afterwards... he doesn't care.

Weakness is the original sin.

Nothing to complain about.

"so fast!"

The finger gun grazed the tip of Luffy's hair.

Luffy lowered his head in time to avoid Lucci's attack and launched a counterattack at the same time.

"Rubber Beast Gun."

"Iron!"

The fist hit Lucci's chest as if it had hit thick and solid armor. The astonishing hardness prevented Luffy's fist from exerting any effect.

"The owl's beastly discipline... is quite good, but it's useless to me." Lucci raised his hand and punched as he spoke, no longer pointing his gun, but directly greeted Luffy with the most violent and direct fist, even if there was no After transforming into the beastman form, his fists were already so heavy that even Luffy, the rubber man, couldn't bear it.

Fists without Haki cannot harm Luffy's rubber physique.

However, this does not mean that he can ignore the impact of Lucci's fist. The extremely fast fist hit Luffy with extremely fierce force and kept retreating. Lucci also discovered that ordinary punches seemed unable to cause Luffy any harm. harm.

so,

"Lanjiao."

The sudden slash grazed Luffy's shoulder, and a line of blood flew out.

The wound was not deep, and the bleeding stopped quickly.

However, this was obviously just the beginning. After discovering that Luffy was not immune to slashing attacks, Lucci's attacks immediately became more diversified, using finger guns, kicks, and boxing alternately. This time, Luffy not only kept retreating, but the The number of wounds increases at a rate visible to the naked eye...

This can't go on like this!

Luffy deeply felt this reality.

But in this state, there is no way to deal with the man in front of him. He needs faster speed and stronger strength.
