Chapter 185 - 24

Chapter 24 Jaya Island, the mockery of Mogu TownOn the 5th floor of a tavern in Mock Town, Jaya Island,pirates sat in twos and threes, watching the two in the very center! They were playing cards and gambling!"Looks like you're out of cash. What's next, huh? Are you going to bet with your underwear, kid?" A pirate on one side mocked the other."In a way, you're really lucky. If you win against Rosie, she won't let you go," the pirates nearby said, gloating.It was not hard to see that the winner was the so-called Rosie!Rosie looked at the blond man opposite her, disdainfully reaching out her hand, wanting to take his money!Just then, the blond man grabbed her arm, gripping it tightly, "Hey! You cheated, didn't you?!""What did you say? How did I cheat?" Rosieargued!"You did, you cheated!" The blond man said firmly."Stop spouting nonsense!" Rosie's eyes were filled with anger."Sarquiss, Sarquiss, you saw it too, didn't you? That guy cheated!""Hmm, I saw it!" The white-haired Sarquiss said indifferently, "I also saw that guy is a despicable and shameless scoundrel!""Nonsense, it seems you don't know who I am!" Rosie roared!At this moment, the blond man grabbed Rosie's arm and flung her out. Rosie crashed into the window, and the blond man quickly drew his gun and fired!"Bang… bang… bang!" Rosie's eyes widened."There's a kind of cheat where I *think* you cheated!" The blond man said faintly in Rosie's ear, then kicked her down from the 5th floor."Oh my god, I remember now, he's Bellamy!" A pirate nearby suddenly shouted!"What? That Bellamy, with a bounty of over 50 million?!"..."Haven't we arrived yet? Jaya Island shouldn't be far from here, right?" (Zoro)"Hmm, the weather has been very stable since just now. So Jaya Island should be a spring island." (Nami)"Hmm, it's so warm and comfortable. Spring is really a good season!" (Chopper)Suddenly, in an instant, the seagull flying in the sky fell down...!"It was shot down!" Chopper seemed a bit exaggerated!"Then let's make it roasted bird meat to eat," Luffysaid with a grin."You said it was shot down, but I didn't hear a gunshot," Usopp's face was full of doubt."Look, it's a bullet!" Chopper picked up a bullet with tweezers and shouted loudly."You mean someone shot from an invisible island, Chopper? That's impossible!" Nami said."How strong must one's eyesight be, and how amazing a sharpshooter to do that!" Usopp said jokingly."No, Usopp, you don't need strong eyesight, Observation Haki is enough!" Luffy said easily!"What? You mean someone really shot from that far away?" Usopp exclaimed."Why didn't I see it?" Zoro tried hard to use his Observation Haki!"Because your Observation Haki isn't fully trained yet!" Luffy said faintly, a red light flashing in his eyes....On the other side, on a rooftop of Jaya Island!A man lay on it, a wisp of smoke still rising from the gun in his hand!"So pitiful, it must hurt a lot! One still has breath. But that's your good luck, a reward for your daily flight."This person was none other than the Blackbeard Pirates' "Supersonic" Van Auger!At the same time, all members of the Blackbeard Pirates appeared on Jaya Island!Burgess challenged people everywhere, and Doc Q delivered apples everywhere!...The Straw Hat Pirates arrived at Mock Town, Jaya Island!"This is great, this city is so beautiful!" Nami smiled."This really looks like a holiday paradise!" Usoppwas excited."No, no, no, this is a gathering place for pirates!" Luffy said!"Huh?"Finally, everyone looked at the pirate ships docked in the harbor!"It really seems so. How about we go somewhere else, Luffy?" Usopp said fearfully."It's fine! Zoro and I will go gather information, the others will guard the ship here!" Luffy ordered!"Alright! We have no problem!"Along the way, everyone had also noticed Luffy's changes, becoming more reliable, so everyone had no objections."Hey, Luffy! I want to buy some clothes on the island, can I?" Robin asked!"You can!"Then they stepped onto Mock Town!"Ding, mission issued: Destiny - Encounter!Two individuals, both protagonists of their era, meet here. Will it be battle, cooperation, or avoidance...? Please make a decision, host!Reward: Unknown!"Luffy paused, then stepped into this pirate's paradise!...Along the way, there was chaos, fighting, drunkenness... the sounds of gunfire, shouts, and shock filled the air!Here, it was as if all the scum gathered!They were not pirates pursuing dreams and searching for One Piece, but scoundrels who only knew how to plunder, kill, and indulge in pleasure!Luffy and Zoro walked past, ignoring them!It wasn't that he lacked humanity or anger, but that Luffy had already made up his mind from the moment he set foot on this land!Then, they met Burgess, who challenged people everywhere and called himself the fighting champion,and also met Doc Q, who was lying by the roadside!They did not stop, walking directly to the largest and only tavern on the island!Pushing open the tavern door, Luffy immediately saw the man eating cherry pie at the counter — Marshall D. Teach!...Luffy sat down next to Teach under his surprised gaze!"Give me the same as him!" Luffy said!Teach withdrew his gaze, preparing to deal with his own cherry pie!Surprisingly, they both put the cherry pie into their mouths at the same time!"Hey, old man!""Hey, boss!""This cherry pie tastes awful!""This cherry pie tastes amazing!"The two exchanged glances and took a sip of the drink next to them!"Why is this drink so delicious?""Why is this drink so terrible?"Teach glared at Luffy, "Is there something wrong with your tongue?"Luffy was not to be outdone, "I think there's something wrong with your brain!""Old man, I want to buy 50 portions of meat to take back!""Boss, I want 51 portions of cherry pie!""Wait a minute, change my meat to 52 portions!""Excuse me, change my pie to 53 portions!""Change the meat to 54 portions!""Change the pie to 55 portions!""Meat, 60 portions!""Pie, 70 portions!""80 portions!""90 portions!"The two argued incessantly!"Alright, alright. Here are your 50 portions of cherry pie, and here are your 50 portions of meat! Take them and leave quickly!" The boss shouted loudly... Teach looked deeply at Luffy, then carried the cherry pie and walked out.As Luffy was about to catch up, Bellamy, the blond man, suddenly burst in!"You are Straw Hat Luffy!" Bellamy sneered!Behind him, several members also walked into the tavern!"Hey, hey, Luffy, do you remember the main business?" Zoro called out, then asked the boss, "Boss, do you know how to get to Sky Island?"At these words, the entire place fell silent!Then bursts of laughter erupted!"What is he talking about?""No way?""He said he wants to go to Sky Island?""Give me a break!""You actually believe in something as easily broken as a log pose!""Hahahaha!" Bellamy laughed, "What, you even believe in such an old legend? Islands in the sky? Hahahaha! What era are you people from, anyway?The mystery of the Grand Line's peculiar currents. One after another, they prove this point! The Knock-Up Stream is one of them.It seems you haven't even heard of it, have you?Ships swallowed by the Knock-Up Stream are directly pushed into mid-air, and then the entire ship falls back into the sea!Unknowing ancient navigators, seeing the strange phenomenon of ships falling from the sky, simply imagined a Sky Island out of thin air!How ignorant, hahahaha!"Then, Bellamy reached out his hand, but when it was just 1 centimeter from Luffy's straw hat,Zoro instantly drew his sword and placed it against Bellamy's neck.The cold glint of the blade made Bellamy break out in a cold sweat."Zoro, I'll leave this to you. They're just a bunch of guys without dreams!" Luffy straightened up slightly, took his meat, and walked out."Wait!" Bellamy tried to chase. Suddenly, a chill flashed, and he quickly stopped!A cold gleam cut across his feet, leaving a crack in the floor, and several pirates were instantly cut in half!"I can't just let you chase after him!" Zoro said calmly!"Who exactly are you?" Bellamy's back was completely drenched in sweat!"Roronoa Zoro, a pirate!"...P.S.: To prevent confusion about the main character group's strength, I'll mention it!Luffy: In his normal state, he's comparable to RobLucci (the author has strengthened him; after all, he's CP9's strongest talent in 800 years). Gear Second is comparable to Luffy in Dressrosawithout using Gear Fourth!Zoro: Corresponds to the Enies Lobby period, the great Zoro who mastered Nine Sword Style.Sanji: Corresponds to Enies Lobby...
