Luffy didn't suffer any serious injuries after the battle. He fell into the sea once and was fished out, but his eyes turned white.

Sanji scratched his hair angrily, quickly pressed his chest, and gave him first aid: "Really, since you can't swim, don't be so reckless!"

"Sanji Nissan~Thank you!" Maruko No. 1 closed his eyes and smiled sweetly in Sanji's direction.

Sanji's eyes immediately popped up with two hearts, and his hands were like pumps, pressing Luffy's chest crazily.

"Ahem—" A heartbreaking cough sounded, and Luffy finally woke up. The first thing Luffy did when he woke up was to look in the direction of Maruko-1, and announced with bright eyes: "I defeated Creek!"

"Yeah, you're awesome!" Wanzi No. 1 did not hesitate to encourage him.

"That eye of yours is the Eye of Reality, right?" Luffy asked excitedly. Devil Fruits were no longer a strange thing to him. Instead, they were meatballs. Even though they didn't eat Devil Fruits, they always had strange things. The ninjutsu is so attractive!

"Haha - that's right." Wanzi No. 1 laughed awkwardly and quickly changed the subject, "I'm worried that this party won't last long, so we have to set off as soon as possible."

Luffy also remembered that the lifelike Maruko No. 1 in front of him was actually just a partner of Maruko, and she herself was still chasing Nami!

"It's so amazing that you can actually transform into an identical person!" Luffy couldn't help but marvel, "Then let's set off to chase Nami quickly!"

"Wait, we're not sure how long it will take to catch up. We'd better be fully prepared, especially - food!!" Maruko emphasized that she was someone who had a deep understanding of Luffy's huge appetite.

Luffy slapped his forehead and nodded immediately: "Yes, I need to buy a lot of meat. I just had a battle and I'm so hungry~ Let's have a meal before leaving!"

"If you don't mind, let everyone in Barati treat you to a meal. There are also ingredients in the kitchen. If you need them, just ask. Thank you for saving everyone." Zhepu came out and said with a smile.

Maruko and Luffy naturally agreed. One ran into the restaurant to see Zoro's condition, and the other ran into the kitchen to get the meat in sacks.

At this time, only Zhepu and Sanji were left outside the restaurant. It was obvious that Zhepu had something to say, but Sanji stood there without moving, just lit a cigarette and put it to his mouth.

"They are a nice group of people, right." Zhepu spoke first.

"Yeah." Sanji responded dully.

"Aren't you looking for Allbilu? Just follow them!" Zhepu's tone was no longer as irritable as before. "The old man can live for at least twenty years. You don't have to worry about me at all."

"Stop being so sentimental, I'm not worried about you, it's just that you haven't recognized my cooking skills yet!" Sanji subconsciously retorted.

"Hahaha! Sanji, what you made has long been qualified. The East China Sea is not your stage. Go see the world and pursue your dreams!" Zhepu patted Sanji's shoulder hard and said cheerfully. laugh.

After finishing speaking, Zhepu turned around and returned to the restaurant, leaving Sanji alone to hide outside the back door and think quietly.

Thanks to Maruko-1's dedicated treatment, Zoro has recovered a lot, and he sits at the table and eats meat with Luffy unceremoniously.

"That Nami guy, why are you looking for her now that she's already gone!" Zoro was still unhappy with Nami's behavior of leaving at the critical moment. Even after he just woke up, he didn't forget it.

"I don't care, as long as you get on the ship, you can't leave without the captain's permission!" Luffy announced loudly.

"Yes! Nami-chan would be great as our navigator!" Maruko No. 1 also nodded in agreement.

After a full meal, Luffy instantly regained all his energy and emptied all the meat from Barati's kitchen before preparing to leave. All the chefs stood outside the restaurant to say goodbye to everyone.

"By the way, Nami drove our ship away, how can we chase it!" Maruko No. 1 slapped her forehead and suddenly remembered this important issue. Her current chakra is not enough to build a ship on the spot.

"Use my boat. This is the boat everyone took when purchasing. There should be enough space." Sanji pointed to the small boat next to him and said.

"Sanji Nissan, have you decided to join us?" Maruko turned to Sanji's direction curiously.

Sanji nodded silently.

Zhepu also smiled happily and took out an old notebook from his arms and handed it to Luffy: "This is the voyage diary that Creek mentioned. It records everything we saw during the year on the Grand Line. Perhaps It will help you.”

Luffy refused bluntly: "Of course the unknown is interesting when taking risks, right Maruko!"

Maruko No. 1 also nodded vigorously.

Zhepu laughed. He originally wanted to take care of Sanji's friends, but now it seems that they don't need them.

"Although I hate children," Zhepu suddenly said to Sanji, "but I never regret meeting you!"

"Don't catch a cold! 1" Zhepu warned softly.

After hearing these words, Sanji could no longer bear it. He put down the baggage in his hands and cried loudly. He knelt down in front of Zhepu: "Boss Zhepu! Thank you for taking care of me for such a long time - you I will never forget your great kindness and virtue! 2”

"Really, a man should leave quietly. 3" Zhepu's voice was also choked with sobs.

"Partners, let's set off -" Luffy shouted, and the boat officially set sail, and Barati's story came to an end here.

-------------------------------------

Divided into two

Maruko and his group, who had left first, were not far away from Nami when they set off. In order to catch up with Nami as soon as possible, Maruko continued to use water escape to speed up the boat they were riding on.

Hard work paid off. With Wanzi's clear goal and exhaustive pursuit, she finally stopped Nami before she landed on the island.

"Nami-san!" Maruko was always straightforward with her partners. She was the first to jump on the boat and grabbed Nami's wrist.

"Why are you guys here, Wanzi?" Nami was immersed in her own thoughts all the way, and didn't realize that a small boat had been following her all the way.

"With your vigilance, you didn't find us. Do you have any difficulties?" Maruko followed Nami's eyes with worry on his face.

"I'm fine." Until then, Nami still refused to speak.

It's not that Nami doesn't want to say it, but she knows that once she says it, Luffy and Maruko will definitely participate to the end based on their personalities. In this case, they will face the Dragon Pirates head-on. Having been trapped by the Dragon Pirates for more than eight years, Nami's fear of them has become deeply rooted in her heart.

Maruko can actually use genjutsu to lure Nami out, but her ninjutsu is never used on her partners.

"Usopp, take Johnny and Joseph to the island first. When Luffy comes, I will notify everyone to make peace!" Maruko decided to send Usopp away first.

Although Usopp is relatively weak now, he is still relatively clever. As long as he does not encounter a particularly powerful enemy, he can always deal with it for a while.

Usopp nodded. Maruko with an above-the-line IQ is basically the highest IQ in the pirate group now. He still trusts Maruko.

After Usopp left, Maruko said: "We have worked so hard to catch up, and we will definitely not give up. When Luffy and the others are over, they will be here soon. So you can tell me first. What happened?"

"Besides, even if I can't fight, I still have many ways to save my life, so don't worry!" Maruko said with a smile, trying to lighten Nami's burden as much as possible.

Wanzi's Thunder Escape is indeed very lethal to the fishmen, and Wanzi also has many unexpected tricks. Maybe she can tell Wanzi. Nami finally made up her mind: "Do you know the fishmen?"

"Fishmen?" This was the first time Wanzi heard this term.

"Yes. Located in the middle of the Great Line, tens of thousands of meters deep under the Red Continent where the naval headquarters is located, there is the country of mermaids and fishmen. The fishmen live in the deep sea all year round, and their physical fitness is more than ten times that of humans, and they are also They have their own unique racial attributes and are very difficult to deal with. Especially when they fight under the sea, their movement speed will increase several times, and humans have no way to compete with them."

"So, are your enemies the fishmen?" Wanzi asked softly.

Nami nodded slowly: "The most powerful pirate group in the East China Sea - the Dragon Pirates are here! Everyone in the pirate group is a powerful fishman, and among them, Captain Aaron is the most powerful. Even Luffy has no chance of winning."

"They are also the ones who have been bullying everyone in Cocosia Village." When Nami said this, for the first time, there was a strong murderous intention in her eyes.

Nami quickly adjusted her expression and showed a bright smile to appease Wanzi: "But don't worry, as long as I raise enough 100 million, I can redeem Cocosia Village. Thanks to you, this trip has been very rewarding. Rich, I have collected enough money!”

Maruko's expression didn't relax at all: "Do you really believe what they say?"

"I know Aaron well. Although he does all kinds of evil, he is at least trustworthy. I think he can be trusted." Nami patted Wanzi on the shoulder, not knowing whether she was comforting her or herself.

"Okay." Maruko backed down temporarily, "In this case, you can try it first. If he doesn't keep his word, we will work with Luffy to beat him up!"

Nami nodded heavily and smiled at each other.

"But for your safety, I'd better follow you, so that I can protect you at any time!" Although he temporarily agreed not to conflict with Aaron, Wanzi didn't believe those people's words at all.

Nami showed a perplexed look. For a person as big as Wanzi, with Aaron's character, how could he let her follow him easily?

"Don't worry, I can pretend." Wanzi held his chin and looked at Nami, his eyes fell on the golden bracelet on her right hand, and he smiled.

"Ninjutsu - the art of super transformation."

As soon as she finished speaking, an identical golden bracelet appeared on Nami's left wrist.

Nami opened her mouth wide and looked at the scene in front of her in surprise. The bracelets on her left and right hands were exactly the same in appearance. The only difference was that the bracelets after the transformation of the ball would feel a little warm when touched.

"Maruko, is this bracelet yours?" Nami looked around and whispered to the bracelet on her left hand.

After Maruko turned into a bracelet, he couldn't speak. He could only shake his body hard and let the bracelet jump twice on Nami's wrist to show his presence.

After having Maruko by her side, Nami felt even more relieved. After calming down, he dragged two bags of treasure and prepared to go back to his home.
