After Luffy and others defeated the king of the jungle, Lily no longer stayed by the three of them's side, but continued to use the time to familiarize herself with her own power.

Apart from daily training, Luffy and his friends spent the rest of their time hanging out and playing in Mount Gorpo. During this time, they met an old man named Nagli, who had once challenged Roger.

Luffy and his friends helped him complete a pirate ship. On the day of sailing, Luffy happily invited Lily to see Nagli off. It was a really great day.

However, the peaceful life was finally broken one day not long after.

"I'm so hungry. I really want to eat the food Lily cooks!" Luffy dragged the huge beast's corpse, holding his rumbling stomach, and said weakly.

"Aren't we on our way back?" Ace looked at Luffy with disdain.

"Yeah, I also want to eat Lily's cooking." Sabo nodded in agreement, "Then let's go faster!"

The three people who were concentrating on what to eat at night did not notice that a group of armed pirates had already surrounded them.

A tall man with long slicked-back hair suddenly blocked their way. It was Bluezem, who had a grudge against Luffy and the others.

Ace and Sabo reached their hands behind them at the same time. The three of them leaned their backs against each other and looked vigilantly at the pirates who were surrounding them.

"Hey, young master!" Bluejam grinned and showed his sparse teeth as he looked at Sabo and said, "I didn't expect that there would be a noble young master among the three notorious brats. It's really surprising!"

Luffy and his two companions had nothing to say to this group of malicious guys.

Ace and Sabo rushed out quickly, and before the pirates could react, they knocked down several people with the back of their swords.

Luffy kicked out with a whip kick on the spot, knocking several people away.

The sudden change scared Bluejem. He didn't expect that the few little ghosts who had been indifferent to him actually had such strength.

He fired a burst of shots at Luffy and Ace with the musket in his hand, but Ace blocked all of them with his knife. Although Luffy's body was deformed and he took several steps back, he really didn't feel anything.

Sabo took the opportunity to rush forward, but stopped because of the orderly footsteps behind him.

"Fortunately, fortunately, we finally caught up!" A familiar voice sounded behind him. Sabo turned his head stiffly and looked at the man in aristocratic clothes who was guarded by a pair of soldiers wearing gas masks. His pupils suddenly contracted.

"Father?!"

Otluk III ignored Sabo and looked at Bluejam unkindly. "I was forced to this point by a few kids. I'm beginning to doubt whether my money was well spent."

"Hey, Master, you can't say that. At least I helped you find the person, didn't I?" Bluejam turned to look at Ace and Luffy, "And don't I have to help you deal with these two guys who deceived your child?"

"I hope nothing goes wrong." Otluk III waved his hand and the accompanying soldiers pressed forward.

Even though Ace and Sabo's strength far exceeded that of most adults, they still seemed a little restrained when facing several black gun muzzles.

……

The sky gradually darkened. Lily sat on the watchtower. The biting coldness on her fingertips wrapped around the water and flowed between her fingers like a spirit fish swimming in the atmosphere.

"Why haven't you come back yet, it's so late?" Lily jumped down from the tree lightly, hovering under the moon. She simply sensed the Flying Thunder God Mark on Luffy and the others, and her brows slightly frowned.

Looking in the direction of the capital of the Kingdom of Goa, Lily was not in a very good mood, "It seems something bad has happened."

Bluejam looked at Ace and Luffy, whose hands were tied behind their backs, and said, "Don't worry, I won't kill you. Although we have some small grudges, the world of pirates is more suitable for the survival of the strong."

"Let me go, I want to find Sabo!" Luffy shouted without any appreciation.

"Are you still concerned about that boring pirate game? You should know that guy is a noble, and he's with you just for the sake of his self-satisfaction and sense of superiority." Bluejem did not hide his disgust, but his eyes also contained envy and expectation.

"Don't you dare talk about Sabo like that!" Ace roared, the veins in his neck bulging.

"Oh, so what if we find him back? Are you sure this is good for him? You know, he is a noble, born noble..." As he said this, Bluejem suddenly shuddered and looked around subconsciously, but found nothing and cursed inwardly, what the hell.

He didn't realize that by temporarily letting Ace and the others go, he was lucky enough to escape a disaster. Even though Lily didn't want to kill anyone, death would come if someone really threatened the people she cared about.

Lily stood on the dense branches, looking in the direction of the pirate ship. Seeing that the pirates had no intention of directly killing and torturing Ace and the others, she dispersed the jade dust in her hand, left behind a clone, and disappeared like a gust of wind.

It is impossible for me to stay with Luffy and the others forever. In such a world, experiencing some things is not a bad thing.

When Lily appeared again, she was already on the top of a high-rise building opposite Sabo's house. She saw a long-haired boy who was grabbed by the collar by Sabo and was saying something.

Upon hearing this, Sabo's face changed drastically. He quarreled with the other party for a few words, put on the old clothes that had been repaired and torn several times by Lily, and jumped out of the window and left.

Lily followed Sabo silently and slowly figured out what had happened that had made Sabo so frightened.

Even though Lily had prepared herself countless times to face the ugliness of this old era, she still couldn't help feeling fear and sadness at the cruelty of this world.

"Just because the Celestial Dragons have arrived, in order to eliminate all the impurities in this country, do we have to destroy the people at the Waste Terminal as well?"

Even though she died accidentally due to robbery in her previous life, Lily still could not deny that the world in her previous life was a relatively peaceful and stable world.

Lily could never accept such contempt for human rights and life.

"I thought that when this day comes, I would be able to learn to get used to it, but it seems that everything is not what I expected." Looking at the towering city walls, Lily was a little absent-minded.

Sabo sat on the roof all night. Even though he heard it with his own ears, he still didn't want to believe it was true. Because if everything was true, he wouldn't be able to look directly at the well-dressed nobles below, and he couldn't imagine what a terrible world he was living in.
