Chapter 352 A Letter from a Fan
"That really surprised me!"
Looking at the members of the Rose-Colored Knights of Life sitting on the Flying Fish Motorcycle, Brooke said with a sigh, "I didn't expect you guys to come and pick me up."
"Haha, we came to pick you up as soon as we received the message," Lor laughed.
"But haven't you already gone back to the countryside?"
He remembered that the other party had said two years ago that he would go back to the countryside to live a simple life after leaving.
"We did go back to the countryside," Lor said, "but after our boss saw the newspapers, he became worried and led us back to the Sabaody Archipelago."
"But you had already disappeared for a while by then, so we decided to help you keep your ship first."
"But for some reason, your pirate ship vanished into thin air as soon as we arrived here!"
At this point, a look of shock appeared on Lor's face.
"You have no idea, we were all terrified."
Brook thought for a moment after hearing this, and then said, "It was Melly who summoned the ship away, wasn't it?"
He remembered that Mary had this special ability.
"Um.
Lor nodded and said, "Later we learned the truth from Sister Shaki; it was indeed Miss Meryl who did it."
If it weren't for Shakky finding them and telling them about this, they would still be searching for the Straw Hat Pirates' ship.
"You ran into Shakky?" Brooke asked with a surprised look.
"Yes."
Lor nodded and said, "After searching for a boat for a while, we met Sister Shakky."
She said the Thousand Sunny was summoned by Miss Merry, and also told us that the Straw Hat crew was still alive and would reunite in two years, so we could rest assured.
Brooke nodded upon hearing this, then asked with some confusion, "Then why are you back now?"
"Of course, we'll see if there's anything we can do right now," Lor said, giving a thumbs up.
In their leader's words, the Straw Hat Pirates had done them a great favor, so... even if it meant going through fire and water, they would still help the Straw Hat Pirates!
This is also why they chose to come here two years later.
Brooke laughed when he heard this; this group of people was really good.
"By the way, how did you know I'd be at the concert venue?" Brooke asked curiously.
"Have you forgotten how famous you are?" Lor glanced at Brooke speechlessly and said.
The entire Sabaody Archipelago is plastered with posters of this guy, how could they not know him?
"Yohohoho!"
"Looks like I'm quite famous~" Brooke laughed.
"They are indeed very famous." Lor nodded and said, "So after receiving the message from Sister Shaki, we came here to pick you up as soon as possible."
"I see."
Lor nodded, then said, "We'll be at the beach soon."
"Once everyone has arrived, you should set off immediately to avoid being blocked here by naval warships."
"Yes, I know," Brooke nodded and said.
According to Xia Qi, he's the only one left who hasn't arrived yet.
So... once he arrived, they immediately set off for the new world! "Yoohoo!"
Hearing Brook's laughter, a hint of hesitation appeared on Lor's face. He really wanted to ask if the ninja brother was still alive.
But when he thought that it wouldn't do anyone any good to talk about it, he held back.
Then he said, "Alright, hold on tight, time to speed up!"
"Great! Yohohohohoho!"
"Why hasn't Brook arrived yet?" Usopp asked, looking into the distance with some concern. "I hope something's wrong."
Hearing Usopp's words, a hint of worry appeared in the eyes of the others.
The island is teeming with navy personnel now; it looks chaotic, who knows...
"Don't worry," Franky said. "This guy's a big star now, the Navy won't arrest him."
Although Brook had appeared in the Sabaody Archipelago two years ago, the fact that he was not captured by the Navy even after becoming the Soul King means that the Navy does not know anything about Brook, so Franky is not worried about Brook's safety.
"But he's a pirate too," Chopper said worriedly.
"He's definitely a pirate, but his bounty poster shows what he looked like when he was alive. How many people could recognize him?"
Chopper scratched his head upon hearing this and said, "That seems to be true."
If Brooke hadn't revealed himself, others might not have been able to recognize him.
Just then, Mary looked up and said, "He's here."
As she spoke, Mei looked up at the distant sky, her eyes beginning to flicker.
"Um?"
Upon hearing Mei Li's words, everyone's eyes immediately lit up.
"Hahaha, Brook finally arrived!" Luffy exclaimed excitedly.
In this way... they can set sail.
The next moment.
"Yohohohoho"
Sitting atop the Flying Fish Motorbike, Brooke laughed excitedly and exclaimed, "Everyone, I'm here!!"
As the Thousand Sunny drew ever closer, Brooke trembled with excitement, his bones cracking.
"Looks like everyone's here..."
Looking at the figures standing on the boat, Lor smiled and said, "You can set off immediately."
"That's right"
Brooke nodded, then said, "Thank you, Lor."
"Not at all," Lor said. "Given our relationship, there's no need for me to thank you."
After saying that, Lor turned his gaze to the two unfamiliar people on the Thousand Sunny.
Who are those two people?
After looking at Peron for a while, Lor shook his head inwardly; he didn't recognize the man.
Then, he focused his gaze on west Yan, who was wearing sunglasses.
"His physique is very different from that of the ninja brother, and he doesn't look the same either. Could it be... that this is a new member of the Straw Hat Pirates?"
So... the ninja brother is really dead?
Thinking of this, a trace of sadness appeared in Lor's eyes.
But before he could order anything, he noticed the man wearing sunglasses below smiling at him and making a subtle gesture.
Lor: ! !
As if he had understood something, Lor's eyes lit up immediately.
He then straightened up and looked intently at Xi Yan, as if he wanted to say something.
But after seeing west Yan shake his head at him, Luo Er returned to normal.
I understand...
The ninja leader is still alive, but his identity cannot be revealed right now!
Thinking of this, Luo Er nodded to west Yan.
Seeing this, west Yan smiled, then crossed his arms and looked up at the sky, silently waiting for Brooke's arrival.
Soon the Flying Fish Motorbike arrived above the group, and Brooke jumped off from it.
"Yohohohoho"
"Everyone, it's been so long!" Brooke exclaimed excitedly, looking at everyone. "I...I'm so excited!"
Two years later... we're all finally reunited!
Yohohohoho "Brook!"
"haven't seen you for a long time!"
Everyone greeted Brooke with smiles.
"You really know how to throw away your superstar status!" Franky said with a laugh.
"Yohohohoho! For me, nothing compares to you guys," Brooke laughed.
Having wandered the seas alone for decades, what he cared about was not material possessions or fame, but companions!
"You...you bastard..."
Upon hearing this, the group covered their eyes in emotion and said, "Why do you have to say such touching things, you jerk!"
"Yohohohoho"
Oh my!
"Seeing you two again...it really makes my heart pound."
"ah"
"Even though I don't have a beating heart, yo ho ho ho ho!"
Seeing Brook looking just as he always has, Nami and Nico Robin both smiled.
Before the two could say anything, Brooke continued, "Well then, it's been two years... could you two please allow me to admire your weight gain...?"
"bump!!"
After kicking Brook away, Nami opened her shark-like mouth and roared, "I won't show you, you bastard!"
Honestly, that bastard is still the same as ever.
"As expected... it still has this much force..." Brooke said, lying on the ground, his body trembling.
"Right!"
Sanji darted to Brook's side in a flash, winking at him and saying, "Is the force still the same as before? 'Bang!'"
After knocking Sanji to the ground with a single punch, Nami said, "You should lie down too, you bastard!"
"Ah... even the violent Nami is still beautiful..."
Perona was speechless upon hearing this. How come there were two idiots in the Straw Hat Pirates?
But before she could say anything, she noticed Brooke stood up and then came to Xiyan's side.
He laughed and said, "It's great that you're still alive."
Clearly, he had also seen west Yan making gestures towards Luo Er.
Na Mei was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then asked in surprise, "How did you recognize west Yan so quickly?"
"I saw west Yan's gesture just now," Brook said. "Also... I don't just judge people by their appearance. Don't forget I'm a Devil Fruit user."
Aura, soul aura—these will never change!
So... even if west Yan hadn't made that gesture just now, he would still be able to recognize west Yan!
"I see..
No wonder Brooke was able to recognize west Yan.
"west Yan, is everything alright?" Nico Robin asked, glancing at west Yan.
She had just seen the hand gesture west Yan made, so she guessed that the Flying Fish Knights already knew that west Yan was still alive.
In this situation, ...won't it really cause trouble for both parties?
"Don't worry, Robin," west Yan said, "They're trustworthy."
Before Robin and the other two arrived, Shakky had told them about the Flying Fish Knights helping them find a ship.
During this process, Dibaru and the others almost died, so Xiyan believed they were trustworthy.
As for whether this news will pose a danger to Duval and his group...
As long as they don't become stupid enough to actively spread the news, these guys won't be targeted by the World Government, so west Yan isn't worried about that.
Nicole Robin paused for a moment after hearing this, then nodded without saying anything more.
"Oh my, looking closer, there's a beautiful lady here too!" Brooke rushed up to Perona and said, "This beautiful lady, may I ask..."
"bump!"
Nami, who had knocked Brook to the ground with a single punch, roared with her shark-like mouth wide open, "You bastard, die!!"
Why does this jerk say things like that to everyone he sees?
Perona gave Brook a disgusted look. Was he trying to say "panties" just now?
Thinking of this, Perona looked at Brooke as if she were looking at trash.
"Brook, are you alright?"
Mary looked at the large bump on Brooke's head with some concern. How much pain must that be?
"Yo-ho-ho-ho, thank you for your concern, Miss Meryl, I'm fine," Brooke said, jumping up.
"That's good..." Meili breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, let me introduce you." Nami hugged Perona and said, "She is..."
"No need for introductions, I know who she is," Brooke laughed. "The ghost lady from two years ago, right?"
"Huh?"
Perona paused for a moment upon hearing this, then asked in surprise, "I don't remember seeing you before. How did you recognize me?"
"Because I sensed your soul aura," Brooke said. "Exactly the same as those ghosts I encountered two years ago."
"I see...,."
Perona had a look of sudden realization. No wonder this lecherous skeleton could recognize her; he probably recognized Xiyan using this trick as well.
Tsk, looks like this guy does have some skills.
"Well then... to celebrate our long-awaited reunion, I'll perform a transformation for everyone!" Franky said.
"Transformation?!"
Upon hearing Franky's words, Luffy and the others' expressions immediately changed.
"Hurry, hurry, transform!" Luffy urged.
"abnormal!"
"Franky pressed the switch on his nose, and his hair immediately turned into an afro, which stunned everyone!"
"Wow...that's amazing!"
"Is this the robot's transformation? I really want to press it!"
As they were talking, Luffy ran towards Franky, clearly intending to try out Franky's transformation.
Just then, the sound of several cannons roared from the side.
"bump!!"
"bump!!"
"bump!!"
Then, three shells flew toward the Thousand Sunny!
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
Ultimately, the three cannon shots exploded around the Thousand Sunny, causing the pirate ship to rock back and forth.
"Wow!!"
"It's a cannon!" Chopper cried out in terror.
Has the navy launched an attack?
"Um?"
Luffy, who had stopped moving, frowned and looked to the side, saying, "What's going on? Where did that cannon come from?"
"They're naval warships." Usopp, staring into the distance, frowned and said, "There are three warships in total."
Did these guys arrive a little too fast?
Could they be three warships that happened to be patrolling nearby?
"Hey, should we fight back?" Usopp turned to Luffy and said, "Otherwise, we might get sunk."
If they were sunk at this time, they would be besieged on the island by the navy.
At that point... they might face an encirclement and annihilation by a naval admiral!
Thinking of this, Usopp's expression changed.
"Of course we have to fight back," Luffy said. "I don't have the habit of sitting idly by and waiting to be killed."
After receiving an affirmative answer, Usopp nodded and said, "Then let's take them down."
Usopp then took out his slingshot, intending to use his Momo-Momo Fruit powers to sink the Navy's warships.
But before he could make a move, he noticed that Melly had floated outside the ship and silently raised her hand towards the front.
"Merry?"
Usopp asked疑惑地问道, "What are you going to do?"
"Of course, we blew the shells back."
As soon as Mei Li finished speaking, the naval warships in the distance suddenly opened fire.
Then, to everyone's astonishment, the shells made a curve in the air and flew straight over!
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
Three shells landed precisely on a naval warship, blasting three huge holes in it. "Wow, that's impressive, Merry!"
"That's right," Melie said, tilting her head up. "I'm really good now!"
She's not the same person she was two years ago.
Having mastered the power of the wind, she could easily push the cannonballs back!
Meanwhile, the navy was in chaos because of those three shells.
"Damn it, what's going on?!" a rear admiral exclaimed angrily. "Why did the shell come back by itself?"
Could it be that a new Devil Fruit user has appeared in the Straw Hat Pirates?
"It was made by a little girl!"
"ha?"
Upon hearing his subordinate's words, the rear admiral was immediately filled with questions.
Then, with an incredulous look on his face, he said, "Are you serious?"
"You'll see for yourself."
After saying this, the subordinate took the binoculars and handed them to his superior.
The rear admiral took the binoculars and glanced at them, then spotted the little girl floating in mid-air.
Rear Admiral: ? ? ?
Is this adorable little girl a member of the Straw Hat Pirates?
Is this reasonable?
"This person might be an apprentice in the Straw Hat Pirates," a subordinate warned.
Such a young child can only be an intern.
Rear Admiral: ...
Are interns this fierce these days?
What kind of intern is this?!
"Major Admiral, what should we do?" asked the naval lieutenant commander beside him.
If the cannonballs don't work... they might not be able to defeat the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Keep firing," the rear admiral said. "I'll stop the returning cannonballs."
"yes!"
"Why aren't these guys firing?" Chopper asked curiously, looking into the distance. "Are they scared?"
"Maybe," Mary said.
But before Melly could say anything more, they saw several more shells flying in from a distance.
"It seems they haven't given up," Mary said.
"Leave it to me."
Usopp said.
As he spoke, he took out his slingshot, aimed it at the three cannonballs flying from a distance, and then fired the attack without hesitation.
"Ultimate Move: Expanding Bullet"
As soon as he finished speaking, those tiny bullets suddenly grew several times larger and then slammed into the three shells, blasting them apart in mid-air!
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
"boom!!"
"Sure, Usopp!"
Watching Usopp detonate three cannonballs in mid-air, west Yan gave him a thumbs up and said, "Your sniping skills have gotten even better!"
"That's for sure~"
Usopp raised his head and said, "I've become quite powerful in the last two years too~"
"Ha ha ha ha."
After two years of training, his strength is already a hundred times greater than before!
Zoro asked curiously, "Why did the bullet suddenly get bigger?"
Could it be that Usopp ate a Devil Fruit?
"Oh, that's because of the Devil Fruit I ate," Usopp said. "This Devil Fruit gave me the ability to enlarge inanimate objects."
"I see...,.
Zoro gave a look of sudden realization and said, "No wonder that bullet got bigger just now."
It has to be said that this ability is very suitable for a sniper like Usopp.
At that moment, the coating on the pirate ship began to change.
The bubble wrap that was clinging to the deck suddenly expanded, eventually enveloping the entire pirate ship!
"Wow, it's formed a bubble roof! That's amazing!"
"So this is coating?"
west Yan stroked his chin, looked at the bubbles high above, and said, "Interesting."
"This thing can really allow us to navigate underwater?" Perona asked, looking at the bubble membrane high above with suspicion. "Won't it suddenly burst?"
It looks like such a thin layer... Can it withstand the pressure of the seabed?
They mustn't break down halfway through the voyage, or they'll all die.
"Don't worry, it won't burst." Nami took out a blueprint and said, "This bubble has the ability to reduce various pressures and can easily withstand the pressure of the seabed."
"So how do we descend?"
After casually detonating a cannonball flying through the air, Usopp said, "Should we use the Water Release technique to pull us down?"
Nami, somewhat speechless, glanced at Usopp and said, "The others didn't have any ninjas on the ship, but they still went down, didn't they?"
There isn't a single ninja on the other ships.
Usopp paused for a moment, then asked in confusion, "How do we get down?"
"Just remove the floaters."
"Floaters?"
A question mark appeared above everyone's heads: What was that?
Seeing this, Nami was somewhat helpless, so she explained, "Because the ship is coated, its own buoyancy is no longer enough to support the pirate ship floating on the sea, so we have to put a float bag underneath to support the pirate ship."
"The way to make it submerge is to remove the floats supporting the bottom of the ship, which will cause the pirate ship to submerge due to insufficient buoyancy."
"Now... do you understand?"
Hearing Nami's words, Luffy and the others were silent for a moment, then nodded and said, "I see."
"You guys didn't understand at all!" Nami said, her lips twitching.
That reaction, that expression... she knew it all too well, you bastard!
After shaking her head helplessly, Nami said, "Anyway... everyone, quickly raise the sails and get ready to set sail!"
"Set sail?"
"Coated ships seem to be able to navigate ocean currents like the wind, allowing them to change direction in a timely manner."
"So it turns out you can't just dive down and get directly to your destination."
"Of course."
Nami rolled her eyes at Zoro and said, "Otherwise, why do you think so many people have perished at sea?"
Not everyone can reach the new world.
"What do you mean? We might end up drowning at sea?!" Chopper exclaimed in horror.
"Don't worry, I'm here."
west Yan rubbed Chopper's little head and said.
"That's true."
Upon thinking about west Yan's abilities, Chopper completely relaxed.
With such a powerful ninja around, there's no need to worry about safety.
Just then, two warships appeared from behind and launched an attack on them simultaneously.
"There are pursuers behind us!"
"Leave it to me," Mary said.
After saying that, the little guy took off, passed through the coating, and launched an attack on the distant warship.
This time, however, she did not choose to launch the shells at the deck of the warship, but instead blew up the sails of the warship!
"Hmph"
Looking at her masterpiece, Mary nodded in satisfaction and said, "Now you won't be able to chase us anymore, right?"
Seeing the warship gradually lose its direction after losing its sails, a smile immediately appeared on Mary's face.
Just then, she suddenly heard some unexpected news.
"fan?"
Mary, who had flown to the stern of the ship, looked at the coastline with surprise and said with relief, "There are actually fans coming here to find us?"
"What fans?"
Brooke paused for a moment, then looked at Mary and asked, "Did you come to see me?"
"Let me listen carefully..."
After listening carefully for a moment, Mary opened her eyes and said, "No, she's here to see Nami."
"It seems she also wrote a letter to Nami."
"For me?"
Nami paused for a moment, then looked surprised and asked, "Where is it?"
She's never received a letter from a fan before.
"On the island," Mary said, looking in the direction of the island. "She's making a very difficult journey here."
"However...it seems she was stopped by the Navy."
Listening carefully to the sounds around her, Mary nodded affirmatively.
"this.."
Nami hesitated for a moment, wondering if she should go over and take a look.
But the thought that they were still being hunted made Nami hesitate.
If we go to the island now, our companions will likely be cornered by the navy, so...
Perhaps sensing Nami's worries, Merry smiled and said, "Leave it to me."
As soon as she finished speaking, Mei closed her eyes and began to communicate with the wind using her abilities.
Then, she conveyed what she wanted to say to the girl.
"Hello, I'm Merry from the Straw Hat Pirates."
"The Straw Hat Pirates?"
The girl paused for a moment, then said excitedly, "Are you at the beach? Please wait for me, I have a letter to give to Nami."
"I'm her fan, I like her very much."
"Please, please wait for me."
She finally had a chance to meet her idol, she absolutely couldn't miss it... absolutely couldn't miss it!
"What is this guy talking about?"
The Marine standing nearby looked at the girl with a puzzled expression and asked, "What Straw Hat Pirates?"
"What fans?"
"Could this guy be a fan of One Piece?"
Hearing the girl's words, the eyes of several of the sailors turned somewhat hostile.
Seeing this, Kevin immediately stepped forward, shielding the girl behind him and saying, "Sorry, sorry, this little one is probably still sleepy. I'll take her away right away..."
"You're still half asleep!"
The girl retorted, annoyed, "Besides, I'm 15 years old, not a child anymore!"
"15 years old?"
The other marines were taken aback for a moment, then said with unfriendly expressions, "Then you shouldn't like pirates at all!"
"I don't like pirates," the girl said. "I like her!"
She didn't like the heinous pirates; her love has always been for the brave sea girl, Nami!
Then, ignoring these muscle-bound guys, the girl turned and ran towards the coastline.
She wanted to deliver the letter in her hand to Nami as much as possible!
Just then, Mary's words reached her ears again.
"I'm sorry, ma'am," Mel said softly, "we're surrounded by naval warships, so we can't stop and wait for you."
"We...are about to set sail..."
"Oh, I'm almost at the coastline..."
As if unwilling to give up, the girl gradually quickened her pace and finally arrived near the coastline before the Straw Hat Pirates' ship set sail.
The moment she saw the Thousand Sunny in the distance, hope shone in the girl's eyes.
But just then, a navy officer stepped in and pinned her to the ground.
"Why...why?"
Looking at the navy officer who was pinning her to the ground, the girl's eyes were filled with confusion. She didn't understand why the navy officer was pinning her down.
The navy officer ignored the girl's reaction and instead focused his attention on the warships moored nearby.
"Major, I've caught someone in the way."
"Hahaha, really? Then you can be in charge of guarding her."
"You're right. A pampered young master like you should avoid trouble and just rest."
"Ha ha ha ha"
Hearing what the people below were saying, the young soldier's face immediately turned red with bulging veins.
"Damn it, how dare you look down on me..." Young Master Soldier said with a grim expression, "I'm the man who defeated the Straw Hat Pirates!"
Only he deserves it, you bastard!!!
"To defeat the Straw Hat Pirates?"
The girl hesitated for a moment, then said anxiously, "No, absolutely not, Nami is my..."
"Shut up!"
The young soldier said angrily, "If it weren't for you, would I be here holding you down?"
Thinking of this, he increased the force in his hands considerably.
But before he could do anything else, he saw a green light appear in mid-air and then fly towards him at an extremely fast speed!
Young Master Soldier: ? ? ?
The next moment.
"bump!!"
The force of the wind slammed into the young master soldier, sending him flying backward.
Then, another attack was launched, hitting the navy's special warship and destroying their secret weapon!
"It's over!"
The navy was stunned to see their secret weapon destroyed.
Without this, how will they defeat the Straw Hat crew?!
Looking at the frantic navy below, the girl stood up with a puzzled expression and asked, "What happened?"
Just then, a pale green breeze appeared in front of the girl, and a voice reached her ears.
"Place the letter in the wisp of wind in front of you, and I will deliver it to Nami."
"Thanks!"
After glancing at Kevin, who was chasing after her, the girl immediately realized that she couldn't see Nami, so she placed the letter in her hand on the wind without hesitation.
Now, she can only place her hopes on this person who claims to be Melie.
Soon, under her watchful gaze, the swirling wind rapidly flew towards the distant Thousand Sunny.
"Hehe, once she realized her letter would be delivered, a happy smile immediately spread across the girl's face."
Her heartfelt wishes... can finally be delivered!
"Hey, why are you running so fast?" Kevin said. "This distance is fine, I won't let you get any closer."
"It's no longer needed."
The girl shook her head and said, "My letter has been delivered."
Kevin: ? ? ?
What do you mean by "it has been delivered"?
Kevin glanced up at the pirate ship in the distance, a hint of confusion appearing in his eyes.
The girl looked into the distance with anticipation, as if hoping that her idol would say something to her.
A moment later...
"Thanks."
Nami's voice carried on the wind to the girl's ears, saying gently, "I have accepted your feelings."
"It's very well written, I like it very much."
May you also live the life you want and live a wonderful life that belongs to you!
Looking up at the woman floating above the pirate ship, waving a letter at her, the girl's eyes immediately welled up with tears of excitement.
"profound!!!"
Nami, who had taken in the girl's reaction, smiled even more gently.
"What an adorable little guy!"
