One Piece: New Luffy

Afternoon, second floor of the mansion, Kaya's room.

"Really, Merry?"

Kaya's face was full of surprise as she sat in her wheelchair, looking out the window at the world outside.

Upon hearing Merry's words, she turned around in surprise.

"In this Drum Kingdom, can my illness really be cured?" She asked, unable to believe it.

"I'm not sure... it's just a possibility. According to Mr. Luffy, it's the best medical country in the world!"

Merry didn't dare to guarantee, but said seriously, "I researched information about this country and confirmed its authenticity from your parents' diary."

After finishing his conversation with Luffy, he immediately investigated the information related to the Drum Kingdom in the library.

To his surprise, he found records about this kingdom in Kaya's parents' diary.

Now that he thinks about it, her parents probably thought about taking Kaya there for medical treatment, right?

However, for security reasons, they withdrew...

"I want to go!"

Kaya responded without hesitation, but then hesitated: "Will this be too much trouble for Mr. Luffy? I owe him a great debt, I'm still alive thanks to him..."

"It will be really troublesome for Mr. Luffy, but this is something he brought up himself, Miss Kaya. You need to consider this seriously. This journey will be dangerous, after all, it is the Grand Line."

Kaya nodded slightly, her eyes filled with melancholy as she looked out the window, watching the birds flying between the branches.

"I envy them, it must be beautiful."

...

The next day.

Syrup Village, in the forest.

Zoro, shirtless, held a huge rock in his hands, lifting it up and down repeatedly.

"Training?" Luffy walked calmly, eating a banana as he approached.

"Luffy?"

Zoro placed the heavy stone down with a thud and said, "To defeat Mihawk!"

Luffy smiled and said, "Seeing how hard you're working, as captain, I have to teach you a few things."

"Do you want to teach me Armament Haki?" Zoro smiled.

"No, today I'm going to show you the other two types of Haki." Luffy shook his head.

"The other two?"

"Observation Haki and Conqueror's Haki."

As he spoke, Luffy closed his eyes and waved at Zoro, saying, "Take your sword and attack me all you want."

"With your eyes closed?"

Zoro was stunned.

"Come on!"

"I won't be responsible if you get hurt, Luffy!"

Zoro immediately drew his sword and launched an attack at Luffy.

No matter what moves he used, no matter what angle he attacked from, they were all easily dodged.

After a series of attacks, Zoro began to get frustrated.

"Why can't I hit you?!"

If one sword wasn't enough, then he used two!

Finally, it evolved into the Three Swords Style!

However, the result was no different.

"This is Observation Haki. I can hear the movement of your muscles and predict your attacks. Unless your sword is faster than my evasion, you will never hit me."

As he spoke, Luffy opened his eyes, and in an instant, a wave of Conqueror's Haki pressed down on Zoro.

Thud!!

With the will of a conqueror, he possessed a power that made people submit.

Zoro's pupils constricted, and he immediately jumped back in shock as he said, "What was that just now?"

"Conqueror's Haki." Luffy explained.

"It is a power that only those with the potential of a king can awaken. You also have this talent, but you have not yet awakened it."

Do I have this too?

Zoro said in disbelief, "How do I do that? Just stare with my eyes?"

"What nonsense are you talking about?"

Luffy rolled his eyes speechlessly, "It takes a strong stimulus, such as anger, sadness, killing intent, and so on. Any of those could potentially awaken him."

"Even if you say that, I don't understand."

"It doesn't matter if you don't understand. Conqueror's Haki is still too early for you. Instead, learn Observation Haki and Armament Haki first."

Saying this, Luffy picked up a stick from the ground, wrapped it in Armament Haki, instantly hardening it to the strength of steel.

"Come on, real combat is the quickest way to squeeze your potential, push yourself to the limit and you'll eventually awaken it, right?"

This was not only training for Zoro, but also practice for Luffy himself.

The two quickly engaged in a fierce battle.

--------

Another day passed.

As they knew of the other side's actions in advance, when the Black Cat Pirates landed on the coast, they were immediately targeted by the sailors.

As soon as they disembarked, a large number of pirates were shot dead.

Among them, several executives:

Vice-captain, Hypnosis Master, Jango, reward of 9 million berries.

The cat brothers, Buchi and Sham, each have a bounty of 7 million berries.

Zoro faced the three alone and defeated them!

Finally, the sailors cleared the battlefield and the surviving pirates were escorted to the warship.

After the danger was truly resolved, Luffy planned to leave.

By the coast.

Merry came running, panting, "Hey! Wait, Mr. Luffy."

"Merry," Luffy stood on the deck of the Sunny, with his hands resting on the railing, and said with a smile, "The pirate business has been resolved, so you can rest assured."

"Yes, thank you very much!"

Merry bowed first, then straightened up and said, "Regarding what you said before, Miss Kaya has made a decision."

"Will she come with us for treatment?" Nami's eyes took on the shape of dollar signs.

After hearing this from Luffy, she immediately thought of making a big profit!

"Yes!" Merry nodded, "We'll bother you."

"Where is Miss Kaya?" Nami looked behind Merry, but didn't see her.

As she spoke, Kaya's voice came from the other side.

"Mr. Luffy, Ms. Nami."

They both turned their heads.

They saw a light sailboat slowly approaching from the other side of the coast.

This boat was smaller than the Sunny, and Nami didn't care much for it.

But for Luffy, it was a familiar feeling.

The Going Merry!

He would never forget the scene of the ship being burned.

It was all because of those idiots in the original story who didn't know how to appreciate it. After entering the Grand Line and arriving at Water 7, the Going Merry could no longer hold on.

But this time, he was the captain.

He would definitely make the Going Merry reach the final island!

"Miss Kaya."

Luffy, on the deck of the Sunny, saw Kaya standing alone.

"Yes, Mr. Luffy, I will bother you for some time."

When the ship approached, Kaya said very politely, "This ship was designed by Mr. Merry. I don't know how to repay your kindness, so I heard that you wanted a new ship, so I will give this one to you."

"Thank you very much."

Luffy shouted to the nearby battleship, "Zoro, this ship will be yours from now on. Don't you want to thank Miss Kaya?"

"Huh?"

Zoro, leaning against the railing of the warship, holding a bottle of alcohol, smiled and said, "Thanks. A ship for the first mate? Ha! Not bad!"

Kaya covered her mouth and laughed.

"It's great that you liked it."

Seeing this, Luffy reached out and pulled her towards Sunny.

"Nami, take care of Kaya, her health is not good."

Nami nodded with a smile and looked at Kaya as if she was looking at a walking gold mine.

"Kaya, I'll take care of you until you get better."

"Yes, Miss Nami, thank you!"

"Don't worry, when we get to Drum Island, there will definitely be a doctor who can cure him. Luffy always keeps his promises!"

Nami comforted gently.

"Yes!"

Kaya nodded happily.

She also wanted to be able to fly freely like a bird, instead of sitting in a wheelchair, looking out the window at the outside world.

"Then let's set sail."

Luffy nodded satisfied and immediately jumped onto Sunny.

"Raise sail, pull anchor!"

As the ship slowly departed, a figure carrying a huge package rolled down the slope.

"Wait!" Usopp shouted anxiously, "Luffy, take me with you, I..."

Bang! Bang! Bang!

He rolled back and forth, hitting the sides of the slope a few times, and by the time he rolled onto the beach, he had passed out.

"Hahaha, get on the ship! I thought you weren't coming, Usopp, that would have disappointed me."

Luffy didn't mind taking Usopp along. He quickly reached out and grabbed the passed out Usopp on the Going Merry.

[Recruiting Usopp team member, talent: slingshot]

[Reward: 400 Adventure Coins]

At the system prompt.

The Sunny carried Nami and Kaya.

The Going Merry carried Luffy and Usopp.

The warship was carrying many pirates and Zoro, who was drinking alone.

The three ships slowly sailed towards the sea.

On the beach, Merry the butler sincerely blessed: "Good Luck, Mr. Luffy, I entrust Miss Kaya to you!"
