Navigation: Comprehension Heaven-Defying, Understanding Eight Gate Escape At The Beginning

Luffy was shocked when he saw the introduction about [Super Buggy Bullet].

One Buggy bomb can destroy several streets, and with 10 times the power, it is enough to easily destroy a large city or a small island.

This is simply a nuclear bomb!

However, at this stage, they still cannot research such a big killer weapon.

This kind of shells requires a lot of gunpowder, and the money to buy gunpowder alone is not what they can afford now.

As for the [Improved Buggy Bullets] and [Mini Buggy Bullets], their money can afford a few rounds.

Luffy planned to ask Usopp to purchase a batch of materials when he went to a big town to start developing these two types of artillery shells.

Within the next seven days, Luffy also taught Usopp [Ultimate Bodybuilding Technique] and Dual Color Haki, and asked him to start practicing as well.

...

Seven days later.

Siluobu Village, on the coast.

"Mr. Luffy, this is the enhanced version of the Golden Melly I built for you."

"Based on the original foundation, I carried out comprehensive reinforcement and also slightly expanded it."

"Although the form is a bit old, it was carefully designed by me."

"It is a fast sailing ship with a jib for the mizzen mast and a center rudder for the stern."

"I believe it can meet your requirements and sail on the Grand Line."

Merry excitedly introduced his upgraded version of Going Merry to Luffy and others, his eyes shining with excitement.

The rest of the people, including Luffy, were also very excited when they saw the Golden Melly in front of them, which was slightly larger than the original version and looked sturdier.

"Wow! What a beautiful boat!"

"It must be a joy to sing on this ship."

"From today on, is this our own pirate ship? It looks great!"

"I must take good care of the boat that Kaya gave us."

While the rest of the people were sighing, Luffy suddenly jumped onto the boat and looked at the people below with twinkling eyes.

"Everyone, there are pirate ships, and of course the pirate flag cannot be lowered."

As he spoke, Luffy waved his right hand, and a flag fluttering in the wind flew in the air, catching everyone's eyes.

On the flag is a skull wearing a straw hat.

"From now on, we are the Straw Hat Pirates!"

Everyone below looked at the flying flag, and Kakuzu couldn't help but raise their mouths.

"Oh! (x4)"

...

"Kaya, everyone, I'm leaving, everyone, take care!"

Usopp waved goodbye to the villagers.

"Usopp, come on!"

"Mr. Luffy, thank you."

Kaya softly wished and thanked Luffy and others.

After bidding farewell to these villagers, the Straw Hats officially set sail.

"Yoshi! Captain Usopp leads his four Senju men and sets sail!"

Usopp stood on the deck, raised his right hand and cheered.

"Usopp, do you want to disembark from here?"

Luffy's voice drifted slowly. We were already out of the coast, and below was the sea filled with all kinds of ferocious marine life.

Usopp suddenly broke into a cold sweat, swallowed, and said tremblingly.

"Vice...Vice Captain Usopp..."

"Um?"

Halfway through the words, Uta's doubts also sounded.

Usopp shivered even more.

"Then...what should I be?"

"Usopp, you will be the sniper on this ship from now on, and all the cannons on the ship will be handed over to you."

Luffy then arranged a position for Usopp that suited him.

Usopp immediately became energetic when he heard this.

"Yoshi! Sniper King Usopp, get in position!"

...

After the boat sailed into the deep sea, Luffy became interested.

Decided to test Usopp's ability.

"Usopp, see that rock over there? Sink it."

Luffy sat on the bow of the boat, pointing to a rock in a certain direction.

Usopp glanced at it, then smiled confidently.

"It's a piece of cake, leave it to me!"

After a short period of control and adjustment, Usopp aimed at the rock in the distance.

boom!

A cannonball flew out, and Luffy and others clearly saw the arc of the cannonball, and it accurately landed on the rock.

boom!

With an explosion, the rock suddenly shattered into pieces.

"not bad!"

Luffy sighed in admiration.

Usopp's sniping talent is indeed top-notch.

Others also expressed their sincere recognition of Usopp's abilities.

After being appreciated and recognized by all the members, Usopp immediately felt energetic, crossed his arms and looked like a master.

"Hmph! My sniper king, Usopp, is not just for nothing."

If it were in the original novel, Luffy would probably be extremely exaggerated by surrounding Usopp and praising him.

However, now, after seeing Usopp showing off like this, the others all dispersed and went about their own business.

"Hey! You guys are too disrespectful to me, aren't you?! I'm the sniper king!"

Usopp suddenly became extremely frustrated when he was ignored. He asked people everywhere to praise him, but no one understood him.

"Who fired that accurate cannonball just now?"

Suddenly I heard someone ask this question.

Usopp suddenly looked surprised.

"It's me! It's me!"

Looking back, I saw a guy with a knife climbing out of the sea and standing on the deck, all wet.

Next to him, there was a man who looked like he was dying.

"Souga... was it you, the bastard, who beat me?"

The man holding the knife suddenly roared, raised the knife and struck Usopp.

"Eh?!"

When Usopp saw that the situation was not good, he immediately raised his hands and ran to Luffy who was on the bow of the boat, fearfully asking for help.

"Luffy, save me!"

Luffy glanced at the person and was suddenly startled.

Aren’t these two people Joseph and Johnny?

It seemed like he was Zoro’s younger brother before, right? !

Luffy rubbed his chin as he thought about it.

"Johnny?!"

At this time, Zoro's voice suddenly came from behind Johnny.

Johnny looked back when he heard the familiar voice and was suddenly surprised.

"Brother Zoro!"

"Huh? Brother Zoro has become a pirate now?"

Zoro said.

"Well! Anyway, after going through a lot of things, I no longer want to be a pirate hunter."

"By the way, why are you here, where is Joseph?"

Hearing Zoro mention Joseph, Johnny suddenly thought of something, became extremely worried, and asked for help.

"Brother Zoro, you must save Joseph!"

"The guy has scurvy and is dying."

"We were resting on that rock just now, but suddenly we were hit by a cannonball. We saw this pirate ship nearby, so we came to find it."

Everyone on the boat looked embarrassed when they heard this, and almost got shot to death.

At this time, Luffy came over.

"Scurvy? Just take some vitamins and it'll be fine."

"Usopp, go to our kitchen and get some oranges."

Soon, Usopp brought oranges.

Johnny squeezed a large amount of orange juice into Joseph's mouth.

The next second, the dying Joseph suddenly jumped up.

"Yeah! Come to life!"

Then, he and Johnny hugged each other to celebrate.

Luffy and others looked speechless.

"It can't be cured so quickly. It will take some time to rest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Joseph fell to the ground again and returned to his dying appearance.

"Hey Johnny. Do you know where I can find a chef around here? We're looking to hire a chef."

At this time, Luffy suddenly asked.

He was thinking of finding a restaurant on the sea and recruiting Sanji to join him, but he didn't know how to go there.

I happened to meet Johnny and the two, and thought that in the original book it was these two who took Luffy and his gang to the restaurant on the sea, so I started asking.

When Johnny heard this, he thought of a place without much thought.

“If you’re looking for a sea chef, I know a place.”

"But whether the chef there will come is another matter."

"That restaurant on the sea, Barati!"
