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

Luffy regained consciousness and stood there for a while. Nami and Chopper got up from the ground. Nami looked hesitant and spoke tentatively.

"Luffy?"

Luffy turned his head and called Nami. From the familiar tone, Nami confirmed that the person standing in front of her was the original Luffy.

Nami burst into tears in her intense joy, and Chopper jumped up and finally hung on Luffy's neck, crying and shouting Luffy's name.

Lindbergh finally reacted and said in horror,

"He actually defeated that Joey Boy?!"

Luffy was caressing Chopper in his arms. When he heard Lindbergh's voice, he turned his head and said,

"Uncle Linde, I'm so hungry, can you give me something to eat?"

Lindberg nodded stiffly, but before he could act, Nami had already brought a large amount of food. She piled all the food in front of Luffy and said happily,

"Eat quickly, Luffy. If it's not enough, I'll find more for you!"

Luffy grinned, then sat cross-legged on the ground and began to eat as usual. When Nami saw this, a happy smile appeared on her face.

Lindbergh also came over and said with some concern,

"Luffy, you haven't eaten for a long time. It's best for you to drink some nutritious porridge or something like that."

Luffy ignored him and even tore off a large piece of meat, not caring that the meat was just taken out of the refrigerator. He chewed it a few times and swallowed it with a gulp.

Chopper rested his chin on his hand and said with a smile,

"It's okay, Uncle Linde. Luffy has always been like this. This is our Luffy!"

Lindberg still felt guilty for his inaction just now, so he didn't say anything more after hearing this. He just stood aside and watched Luffy eat.

Soon, Luffy ate up all the food in front of him. He took the water handed to him by Nami and drank it all. Then he patted his round belly and said with a smile,

"I'm so full. If Sanji had made this..."

At this point, Luffy's face froze, and then he changed the subject and said,

"Where are we now?"

Lindbergh responded:

"We haven't left the East China Sea yet. Tianlong is also there now. His perception is very strong. We don't know the exact range of his perception yet. If we drive too fast, I'm worried that he will notice it, unless you can use the straw hat like you did last time..."

Luffy frowned after hearing this. He took off the straw hat from behind and put it in front of him to look at it for a moment, then said,

"But I don't know how to use this straw hat."

Lindbergh couldn't help asking,

"Didn't Joe... Joey Boy tell you? By the way, is he still in your body now?"

Luffy replied,

"He said that time that this straw hat originally belonged to me and I could use it whenever I wanted. It's just that I haven't found the trick yet. And after what happened just now, he no longer responds to me. I don't want to have any more communication with him."

Nami nodded vigorously after hearing this and said,

"That's right, Luffy. That Joy Boy is coveting your body. You must never let him succeed again! Your body is yours alone!"

Chopper also chimed in,

"Yes, yes! That guy is definitely not a good person. Taking over someone else's body is too evil!!"

Luffy smiled, then slowly stood up from the ground. The next second, a white flame cloud streamer emerged from behind him, and he instantly entered the Nika form.

This directly scared Nami and the others. They took a step back and looked at Luffy vigilantly. Luffy covered his face and laughed. As the liberation drum sounded, Luffy's round belly instantly returned to normal.

He put away the smile on his face, felt the power flowing out of his body, clenched his fists and said to himself,

"Now, this is the power that truly belongs to me!"

Lindbergh was the first to react and exclaimed,

"Luffy, are you able to control this power already?"

Nami and Chopper looked at Luffy in surprise. Luffy was silent for a moment and then said slowly,

"Yes, this is all thanks to grandpa. His punch is engraved in my heart."

Nami and Chopper suddenly asked in unison,

"So who is stronger now, you or that Tianlong?"

This question left Luffy completely silent, and this silence was also an answer.

He sighed and said,

"Unfortunately, I have only mastered this power at a preliminary level. If I meet that Tianlong again, I will probably only be able to barely protect myself. It will take some time to reach his level."

When talking about the latter part, Luffy's expression looked a little guilty. Even though he was fearless, he felt uneasy when thinking about Tianlong's terrifying fighting power.

After several battles, the impression Tianlong left on him was too deep.

And the result of every battle will be accompanied by the death of a partner.

But even with this answer, Nami still looked very happy. She hugged Luffy's arm and smiled.

"You are really great, Luffy. I believe you will be able to defeat that Tianlong sooner or later!"

Chopper raised a little hoof and also cheered for Luffy.

Seeing the performance of the two, Luffy's face was filled with smiles again. He first released the Nika form, and then said,

"Thank you, everyone. By the way, how is Brook now? Why can't I see him?"

Chopper shook his little hoof and said,

"Brooke's injuries are pretty serious, so it's best not to move around right now. But don't worry, as long as he drinks milk for a few more days, he should be able to recover."

Lindbergh hesitated for a moment, then said with difficulty,

"Well...there's not much milk left. The way Brooke drinks it, it won't last more than three days!"

"Nani!?"

"And it's not just milk. There's not much other supplies left on the submarine. In about half a month, we'll have to go up to restock supplies."

At this point, Lindbergh glanced at the food scraps on the ground and whispered,

"In fact, Instinct can barely last for a month, but I didn't expect Luffy to be able to eat so much at once..."

Luffy blinked twice. With his personality, he didn't feel embarrassed. He just scratched his head and laughed.

"I see. This is really a headache..."

Lindbergh spread his hands and said,

"So I'm going to send Haku to investigate first. He's a fishman, so it's very convenient for him to come and go. After he confirms that there's no danger, we'll go up there to restock supplies."
