From Pirates to Sweeping the Worlds

The Straw Hat Pirates listened quietly to Xia Jieren's narration.

"So, I'm sure that Raftel has used some special means to hide it. Only certain people or certain times can open it."

After Xia Jieren finished speaking, Usopp held his head in despair: "It's over. We finally got the four coordinates, but we may not be able to reach [Raftel]."

"Can't go?" Chopper was shocked.

Franky, Brook and others were also a little discouraged.

Jinbei, Sanji, and Zoro frowned, they didn't expect there was such a secret.

Luffy looked calm, not at all upset by the news.

"Everyone, don't be discouraged. Even if we can't reach Raftel, it's okay. Our journey is not in vain." Luffy comforted everyone with a smile.

Hearing this, Usopp and the others came back to their senses and cheered themselves up again.

Luffy is right. So what if we can't reach Raftel? The most important thing is the days when we all go on adventures together.

Looking at the open-minded Luffy, Xia Jieren sighed in his heart: "I really can't compare to Luffy!"

Looking around at everyone, Xia Jieren smiled and said, "You can reach Raftel because Luffy is that specific person. If none of you can reach it, then no one can enter Raftel."

"Hey..."

"Luffy is that specific person, why are you so sure?" Sanji looked at Xia Jieren in confusion, and the others also became interested.

Under the gaze of everyone, Xia Jieren slowly said: "Because Luffy is the legendary sun god Nika! I believe you have all heard of the legend of the sun god."

"Nika? Who's that? I'm Monkey D. Luffy!" Luffy pointed at himself with a confused look on his face.

Ignoring Luffy, Sanji said calmly: "Yeah, I've heard of it! In addition to hearing it when I was a child, I also heard Broki and Touri mention it in [Elbaf]."

"The Sun God is the god worshipped by the giants."

"Why do you say Luffy is the Sun God?" Zoro frowned slightly.

Xia Jieren explained: "The [Devil Fruit] that Luffy ate has another name [Human-Human Fruit·Mythical Beast·Nika Form]. It is a [Devil Fruit] named after God."

"So awesome!" Chopper looked at Luffy with stars in his eyes. Compared with the [Devil Fruit] that Luffy ate, his [Human-Human Fruit·Ordinary Man Form] was simply weak.

"Isn't it the [Parametic Rubber Fruit]? How did it become an Animal-type [Devil Fruit]?" Brook raised his doubts.

"That's the name the [World Government] gave to cover up this [Devil Fruit]."

"The Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Beast, Nika Form is very special. It has its own consciousness and has been hiding from the World Government. For 800 years, the World Government has tried their best to recover this Devil Fruit, but has never succeeded."

"Why does the World Government want to take back Luffy's Devil Fruit?" Franky raised his hand and asked.

"good question!"

"Because the previous user of this Devil Fruit was the mortal enemy of the World Government. His name is Joy Boy. You should have heard about him from Vegapunk."

"It's him!" After being reminded, Zoro and others quickly remembered Joy Boy.

It is said that Joy Boy was the first pirate in history.

"What is the relationship between Joy Boy and Luffy?" Usopp expressed his doubts.

Xia Jieren spread his hands and said, "I don't know! However, it is more appropriate to regard Luffy as the reincarnation of Joy Boy. As far as I know, Luffy's personality is most likely influenced by Joy Boy. After all, the [Human-Human Fruit·Mythical Beast·Nika Form] may contain Joy Boy's will."

Hearing this, Zoro and the others looked at Luffy with worry in their eyes, fearing that Luffy would no longer be like himself one day.

"I am who I am. I am not the reincarnation of Joy Boy." Luffy pouted and retorted.

"That's right, Luffy is Luffy, not anyone else!" Usopp quickly agreed, trying to convince himself.

"Yes! Yes!" Chopper nodded repeatedly.

"In short, Joyboy was active 800 years ago. According to the literature, he was optimistic and cheerful, or even a bit thick-skinned. He had an extraordinary personality charm and could bring laughter and freedom to others."

As Xia Jieren continued to talk, the Straw Hat Pirates became more worried.

This is exactly what Luffy himself is talking about.

Is it really possible that two people who lived 800 years apart could be so similar?

"800 years ago, many parts of the world were oppressed, and it was Joyboy who liberated them. As Joyboy liberated the world, more and more people joined his camp, and people worshipped Joyboy as the sun god."

"As for what happened next, it's not hard to guess. Joey Boy's original intention was good, but more and more people followed him, and his power grew stronger and stronger, which has already threatened the rule of the kingdom's nobles."

"So the twenty kingdoms united and formed a coalition to fight against Joy Boy. This was the predecessor of the [World Government]."

After getting a general understanding of the events of 800 years ago, the Straw Hat Pirates did not have any special reaction.

It happened so long ago that everyone just treated it as a story.

"Just because Luffy ate the [Human-Human Fruit·Mythical Beast·Nika Form], he can reach [Raftel]?" Zoro felt it was a bit ridiculous.

Xia Jieren corrected him: "It was the [Human-Human Fruit·Mythical Beast·Nika Form] that chose Luffy. The moment he ate the [Human-Human Fruit·Mythical Beast·Nika Form], Luffy was drawn into the torrent of fate."

"Fate, haha, I don't believe in that stuff." Zoro said with disdain.

Xia Jieren showed a weird smile: "I hate fate, but sometimes I have to believe in it."

"Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, Franky, Brook, Jinbe, you are all people with outstanding talents. Why is your journey so smooth?"

"Why would a tiny East Sea have descendants of the Shimotsuki Family of Wano Country?"

"Why would the prince of the Vinsmoke Family of the North Sea appear in the East Sea?"

"..."

"Why did you board the same ship by such coincidence?"

Xia Jieren's series of questions made everyone fall into deep thought.

As if he had thought of something, Xia Jieren suddenly revealed a strange smile: "You don't know yet, according to the course of fate, you should have two more crew members?"

Hearing this, Luffy and the others looked at Xia Jieren.

Luffy asked curiously, "Who is it?"

"One is a gifted navigator, and the other is an archaeologist who can translate ancient texts!" Xia Jieren did not hide it.
