One Piece: Three Fruits, Starting with the Dark-Dark Fruit

Accompanied by the roar of machinery, Emmett slowly stood up, the light in his eyes flickered, and finally solidified.

The huge Emmett made Nami a little scared. She subconsciously hid behind Luffy and raised her hand to grab the corner of Luffy's clothes.

Luffy looked up at Emmett, a look of confusion in his eyes.

Emmett lowered his head, looking down at Luffy who was as small as an ant below him, and made a mechanical sound.

"Joey Boy...is that you? We finally meet again!"

Emmett sounded very excited when he said the latter part, while Nami and the others looked at Luffy nervously.

Under the gaze of everyone, Luffy shook his head and said,

"I'm not Joyboy, I'm Luffy, Monkey D. Luffy!"

Hearing this, Nami and the others immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since the man who called himself Joy Boy appeared, Luffy had been exuding a weird aura. They were really worried about Luffy, fearing that he would be completely taken over by Joy Boy.

Emmett was stunned when he heard this, and said to himself,

"Not Joyboy? Then what about the Drum of Liberation just now... Wait, D?"

As he spoke, Emmett slowly leaned down, his eyes focused on the straw hat on Luffy's head, and he suddenly realized.

His huge head nodded slowly and said,

"I see. It seems that you are the successor of Joyboy's will. As expected, his will is indelible!"

Luffy frowned and was about to speak when his mind suddenly sank. Then one of his right pupils turned golden and his face showed two expressions: confusion and seriousness.

Nami and the others immediately understood that it must be that Joy Boy who had "possessed" them again, but this time it seemed that he was only half possessed.

In fact, even Joey Boy himself was very surprised when he realized this, but he quickly reacted and thought,

"It seems that the battle with Blackbeard consumed my mental energy more than I thought. I can't even completely control this body... Forget it, it's time to meet this little guy for real."

Luffy half frowned and muttered,

"Huh? It feels so weird. Why did the right side of my body suddenly lose feeling?"

Joy Boy on the right laughed when he heard this, and waited until Luffy finished speaking before speaking.

"Luffy, that's me because I'm in the right half of your body right now! Come to think of it, this is the first time we've had a conversation like this."

Luffy's eyes widened suddenly, and he shouted while waving his hands.

"Hey hey hey! What was I saying?!"

Looking at Luffy who seemed to have gone insane in front of them, Nami and the others rushed over and grabbed the left half of Luffy's body, which looked normal.

In a hurry, everyone used great strength and pulled Luffy's left body straightly. The strange thing was that no one pulled the right side of his body, but it seemed to be nailed to the ground and did not move at all.

Seeing half of Luffy's body being stretched longer and longer, Nami and the others quickly let go of their hands, and the half of the body they were pulling suddenly shrank back with a snap.

Under the effect of the elastic force, this half of Luffy's body returned to its original position and was shaken unsteadily, making him dizzy. Joy Boy had another chance to speak.

He smiled and said,

"We just met not long ago, there's no need to be so nervous, right? I'm really not a bad person!"

Nami and the others didn't believe his nonsense at all and stared at him with hostility.

Even Lindberg, who knew something about Joy Boy's affairs, stood firmly on the side of Nami and the others at this moment. He could be said to be the strongest fighter in the Straw Hat Pirates. When this happened, he immediately stood in front of Nami and the others, raised a claw that was flashing with lightning, and stared at the face where Joy Boy was.

The situation suddenly became tense.

At this moment, Emmett suddenly exclaimed,

"There's no mistake! This aura...you're Joyboy!"

Joy Boy rolled one eyeball to look at Emmett's two little sun-like eyes above him and smiled.

"Nice to meet you again, Emmett. You must have been sleeping here for a long time. I'm sorry to disturb your sleep!"

When Emmett heard Joyboy's voice which was extremely familiar to him, the light in his eyes flickered, just like when a person cried, except that as a robot, he didn't have tears.

It fell to the ground with a loud bang, and shouted deafeningly,

"I'm so sorry! I didn't fulfill our agreement!"

A gloomy look flashed across Joey Boy's eyes, and he could no longer maintain the smile on his face. He looked at Emmett lying on the ground in silence for a while, then slowly spoke,

"Emmett, don't say that. You've done a good job. I'm the one who broke the promise. I've disappointed too many people."

The other half of Luffy finally woke up at this moment, and immediately tried to seize control of the body, but was suppressed by Joy Boy.

From the perspective of Nami and the others, Luffy's whole body suddenly began to tremble violently, and the left half of his face had a constipated expression, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

The right half of Joey Boy's face was covered with sweat, and he gritted his teeth and said,

"I'm sorry, Luffy, please let me talk to Emmett for a few minutes, please!"

It is not easy for Joy Boy, whose mental power is severely depleted, to seize the initiative of his entire body by suppressing Luffy's consciousness. The more fiercely Luffy resists, the more serious his mental power depletion will be.

Hearing Joyboy's request, Luffy really quieted down and muttered,

"Okay, I'll lend you my body for a while!"

Nami was immediately anxious when she heard this and shouted,

"No! Luffy, don't fall for his trick! Take your body back!"

Luffy had some difficulty turning his head, so he could only look at Nami with a squint and said,

"Nami, no matter what, he did save us, and he also helped me defeat that Blackbeard. It's okay to lend him my body for a while."

Nami's expression froze, and Luffy looked away, as if talking to himself,

"Okay, the rest of the time is up to you."

After saying that, Luffy's left pupil immediately became extremely empty, and then slowly closed. Joyboy on the right side said softly,

"Thanks, Luffy!"

Emmett also saw that Luffy had completely transformed into Joyboy. He was about to say something, but Joyboy spoke first.

"I'm sorry Emmett, but time is limited. Do you remember the thing I sealed inside you?"
