One Piece: I will become stronger by checking in

Luffy looked at the hat with a hole in it, distressed, and then turned to Buggy, stretching both arms back.

"Damn it, you bastard!"

As soon as Buggy got up from the ground, he heard a "bazooka" sound.

At the same time, two powerful fists hit him hard in the chest.

In an instant, Buggy felt as if he had been hit by a pirate ship and was sent flying into the sky.

Kai raised his eyebrows at this scene.

"Alright, Luffy, I can handle Buggy myself this time without anyone's help!"

However, Luffy was still in a low mood, staring blankly at the straw hat in his hand and showing no interest in sitting on the lion anymore.

"Luffy, stop sulking and ask Nami to fix your straw hat!"

"Huh?"

(☆▽☆)!

"Kai , are you serious? Nami can fix straw hats?"

"Of course! Don't underestimate our navigator; she's quite skilled! But she went off to find treasure just now, so it might take a bit," Kai said with a faint smile.

"That's great!"

With that, Luffy jumped up and started shaking the lion's back energetically.

When Nami finally arrived, having moved the treasure, she saw the strange scene.

A lion was performing an odd dance, and four people were sitting on it. Three were familiar faces, while the fourth was standing by with an expression of sheer terror.

Seeing this, Nami couldn't help but ask blankly:

"Where's Buggy the Clown?"

"I knocked him away!" Luffy said proudly.

"He was... defeated by you???"

Nami's eyes widened. That was a big-time pirate with a bounty of 15 million berries!

15 million is one thing, but did the 20 million bounty Arlong also...

Many thoughts flashed through Nami's mind, but she kept them to herself.

"Okay, now that we've achieved our goal, let's head out!"

Kai slowly stood up from the lion's back.

"By the way, Nami, does Buggy have a map of the Grand line?"

"Huh? How do you know?"

"Secret!" Kai flashed a mysterious smile.

As the group prepared to leave, Luffy sulkily remarked:

"What, I haven't had enough fun yet!"

"The villagers in this town are gone now. When we're done playing, we won't even have a place to eat. We need to rely on ourselves."

"And I'm running low on meat in the space now. If we don't head to the next island soon, we won't have enough to eat later!"

Kai addressed Luffy calmly.

Upon hearing this, Luffy's mood shifted instantly, and he said seriously to Kai :

"Then let's go quickly!"

Seeing how quickly Luffy's mood changed, Kai couldn't help but marvel.

It seems Luffy's love for meat makes him easy to understand!

"By the way, Nami, my straw hat is damaged. Can you help fix it?"

"Huh?" Nami was startled by Luffy's request but then nodded.

"Yes, I can!"

"Really? Thank you so much!"

Luffy said excitedly, grabbing Nami's hand.

"Hey, don't grab so hard; it hurts!"

"Oh, sorry..."

...

After a while...

On Buggy the Clown's pirate ship, a massive roar echoed.

"What? You left a bag of treasure with the villagers on the island?"

Nami was grabbing Luffy's collar and shaking him vigorously.

"That's right. Bailey needs the treasure to repair the destroyed buildings on the island, right? Leaving them a bag of treasure is fine!" Luffy explained.

"What do you mean 'fine'? That's my treasure!"

"That's the treasure I worked hard to collect to aid us, you know?"

Nami said, shaking Luffy's head back and forth into the water.

"Then... then you go find... they're coming back!" Luffy stammered.

"How could you do something like that, you bastard!!!"

"Hahaha..."

Watching the scene, Kai and Zoro couldn't help but laugh.

As Kai had predicted, being a part of the Straw Hats was indeed very entertaining!

I Look forward to the adventures ahead...

...

A few days later...

Kai and the others finally spotted a new island, which lifted their spirits.

Especially Luffy, who looked at the island and couldn't contain his excitement, mumbling:

"Meat, meat, meat!"

Kai had run out of meat in his space two days ago and had been relying on fruit to satisfy his hunger.

They were almost at their limits, and even Kai felt it.

This solidified his decision to prepare more meat in the system space in the future. Otherwise, there wouldn't be enough to eat.

After a while, the ship slowly docked.

The crew jumped down immediately, and Luffy ran around excitedly, still talking about meat.

Zoro stepped onto the ground and sighed.

"It's been a while since I've been on solid land!"

Nami took out a chart and began examining it.

Kai , meanwhile, was focused on the system notification he had just received.

[Ding, successfully signed in Syrup Village and obtained Conqueror's Haki (Elementary)!]

"Hmm?"

It was a pleasant surprise. He had been wondering why he hadn't checked out Conqueror's Haki earlier, but now it appeared with the new island.

Well, Kai was very satisfied with the system's timing!

With this, he now possessed all three types of Haki and could improve them over time.

He was now a bit of a master in his own right!

Just as Kai was contemplating this, a roar from the distant hills caught his attention.

"Hey! You pirates, how dare you come to the village ruled by Captain Usopp?"

"Don't you know that even one of my 80 million men could drown you all with just a drop of spit?"

At the same time, numerous flags began to rise in the grass on the mountain, creating an impressive display.

Seeing Kai and the others looking a bit puzzled, Usopp thought they were being fooled, so he continued:

"But I'm a kind pirate. If you're willing to retreat immediately, I'll show mercy and let you go!"

Usopp looked at Kai and the others, trying to project confidence, though the sweat on his forehead hinted at his nervousness.

Kai couldn't help but smile at the sight.

Truly, Usopp was the boastful king!

It's just that... he needed to brag a bit more convincingly!

80 million subordinates? That's quite a stretch!

Looks like it's time to teach Usopp how to brag properly and truly stand out!

With that thought, Kai grinned and said to Usopp...
