Chapter 92 Awakening And Foretelling The Future, Landing On Daughter Island

Although he said "let's go," it was not possible to leave immediately.

As a responsible leader, things that need to be arranged still need to be arranged.

"You guys go to the port and wait for me, I will come later."

"Understood, please come as soon as possible."

Vice Admiral Mozambia was not worried about Luffy running away. He immediately greeted Mayor Iceburg and walked out of the office with his subordinates.

"I will be leaving for a while. Mayor Iceburg, I entrust the matter of the ship to you," Luffy put down the red tea in his hand and said as he stood up.

"You can rest assured, I will not play with the reputation of our Galley-La Shipbuilding Company."

Seeing that Luffy was about to leave, Iceburg immediately stood up and took a few steps to see him off. "Regarding Nico Robin..."

Luffy leaned close to his ear and whispered a few words.

Then he patted his shoulder and smiled, "Take care of yourself. Well then, goodbye. I'll probably come back here in about a month."

Iceburg stood still, his expression extremely serious.

On the other side, Luffy left the mayor's mansion with Nami and Robin.

"I'm going to attend the Shichibukai meeting. You two can stay here for now."

"Will it be dangerous?"

Nami looked worried.

Luffy shook his head, "It's not dangerous for me, but..."

As he spoke, his gaze turned to Robin.

Because of the incident with Aokiji before, Robin now wouldn't be easily manipulated by CP9's agents with just a few words, like in the original story, for the sake of the "Straw Hat Crew's safety."

The problem is not CP9, but once he leaves, the World Government might send someone to capture her.

And he couldn't bring Robin with him to attend the Shichibukai meeting.

"Luffy, don't underestimate me. I'm already used to dealing with this kind of thing," Robin laughed softly.

"Well then..."

Luffy took a moment to think and made some arrangements for the two of them.

Mr. 2 of the second team, whose real name is Bentham, is a user of the Clone-Clone Fruit ability. When they were in Alabasta, he perfectly disguised himself as the King of Alabasta.

He will pretend to be Robin and attract attention from others.

As for Robin herself, she will have to disguise herself a bit. This is not a problem for Robin, as her 20 years of experience on the run have taught her various strange skills.

"This is indeed a good plan," Nami's eyes lit up, agreeing.

"It will probably take me a month to come back. The modifications to the Ark Maxim will also take some time. Don't slack off during this period of training," Luffy said, bidding farewell to the two women.

Using his Observation Haki, Luffy quickly found Chopper's presence. He and Usopp and the others were strolling on the main street.

After thinking for a moment, he immediately headed towards the southern coast.

[You have arrived at the new island, Water 7. Reward: 1000 Adventure Points.]

[Adventure Points: 7825]

He opened the adventure shop and began searching for the items he urgently needed.

There were two things he wanted.

First, the Blank Fruit.

Second, the Six Styles Fruit.

The former was for backup, in case Whitebeard died and the Shock Fruit couldn't be wasted.

The latter was for investment!

Yes, it was for investment.

With the physical enhancement water developed by Chopper, he would buy Six style Fruits for the crew members to enhance their combat abilities. This way, he would earn more Adventure Points.

Today's luck was good. The shop had the Haki Fruit available.

Although it wasn't his current target, his Observation Haki was only one level away from level 5, so he bought it without hesitation.

[Adventure Points -200]

Refresh, refresh, refresh!

In total, he refreshed seven times, consuming a total of 1320 Adventure Coins.

He didn't see any blank fruits, but he bought two boxes of Six Styles fruits and three individual Six Styles fruits.

A total of 15 Six Styles fruits.

Consumed a total of 2300 Adventure Coins.

Continuing to refresh anymore is not cost-effective. It costs 1280 each time, which is too expensive, so I give up.

[Adventure Coins]: 7825→4005

Return to the southern coast.

Zoro is punching Mr. 3's wax wall with all his might. His fist is wrapped in bandages, and blood is seeping through.

Seeing Luffy return, the two immediately stopped their training.

"You're back so soon, Luffy? How did things go with the ship?"

"I left the ship to Nami. Zoro, take these and give them to Chopper later."

Luffy hands over 15 Six Styles fruits to Zoro, without waiting for him to ask, and quickly explains the Shichibukai meeting.

After listening, Zoro immediately understands.

"So, you're going to save Ace?"

Wow, Zoro, you've become quite smart!

Luffy looks at him in surprise.

Zoro's eyebrows jumped fiercely. "Don't take me for a fool. I saw the news of the public execution, and combined with your actions, it's not surprising to guess. But how did you anticipate it would turn out like this? When we were in Alabasta, you obtained the title of Shichibukai, was it all for this moment?"

Luffy pats his shoulder and says with great seriousness,

"I've trained my Observation Haki to an advanced stage, so I can predict the future. I told you before, didn't I?"

Zoro is instantly dumbfounded, with a blank expression on his face.

Can you really see the future that far?

"Keep it up. By the time I come back, you better have mastered Armament Haki, or else I'll have to teach you personally, and the process might be a bit rough."

After finishing the necessary matters, a Marine warship happens to sail from not far away.

Vice Admiral stood at the bow of the ship and shouted, "Are you ready yet, Straw Hat Luffy? We don't have much time!"

"Alright then, goodbye Zoro. Please pass on my message to the other crew members."

Luffy smiled slightly and turned to leave.

Zoro silently withdrew his gaze as he watched Luffy board the warship.

At that moment, his heart, technique, and body concentrated together, and he punched the wax wall.

Bang!

In an instant, a crack appeared on the wall.

"Number 3, your wall isn't that strong, huh?" Zoro grinned.

The warship.

A spacious room.

As one of the Shichibukai and the invited party, Luffy naturally had the largest room to himself.

Sitting on the sofa, he took out the Haki fruit he had bought earlier and ate it on the spot.

[Observation Haki]: Iv4 → lv5

His auditory power was strengthened once again, and his Conqueror's Haki had reached an advanced stage!

At the same time, he also gained the power of foreseeing the future.

Of course, it wasn't as terrifying as Zoro had made it sound, being able to see things that would happen a month or even two months later.

The power of foreseeing the future with the sense of Observation could only see a very short period of time.

Just a few seconds.

"Level 5 is not the limit. At least I haven't mastered the ability to 'see and kill' yet. It seems like I'll have to continue buying Haki fruits in the future."

Luffy fell into deep thought.

[Since the Six Styles fruit can extract effective ingredients and produce body-enhancing water, could Haki also be made into something practical?]

[I had considered letting Chopper give it a try before, but I didn't have any spare Haki fruits for experimentation.]

Now that my Conqueror's Haki has reached an [advanced stage, it's worth a try.]

[The only problem is that the probability of obtaining a Haki fruit is much lower than that of a six styles fruit.]

Just as he was thinking about it, there was a knock on the door.

Then, Vice Admiral Mozambia walked in, followed by a marine pushing a food cart.

Luffy's gaze sharpened, and he immediately saw a glimpse of the future.

[It will take six or seven days to get to Daughter Island. Luffy-sama, I don't know if you're hungry, so I had food sent over.]

He already saw what Mozambia was gonna say, but there was no need to show off on the spot.

Sure enough, as soon as Mozambia entered the door, he spoke up.

"It will take six or seven days to get to Daughter Island. Luffy-sama, I don't know if you're hungry, so I had food sent over."

"Thank you."

The marine immediately placed the food from the cart on the table in front of the sofa.

Naturally, there were also drinks, including alcohol.

It seemed a bit strange to have alcohol on a warship, but this mission was specifically to welcome a Shichibukai, so it was acceptable to make preparations in advance.

The marine nervously poured a glass of red wine for Luffy.

Luffy picked up the glass and took a sip, asking, "Will it take six or seven days to return as well?"

"No, that's the ideal situation. That woman never responds to summons..."

Mozambia's expression turned sour when talking about the Empress.

Why send him to pick up the Empress?

Hawkeye and the Empress are the two most independent Shichibukai. Although the others also have their own issues, most of the time they still respond to summons.

With curiosity, Luffy asked, "Never? Not even once?"

"Yes! Since she took on the title of Shichibukai 11 years ago, she has never attended a meeting!" Mozambia replied in a deep voice.

Luffy couldn't help but laugh.

That's how it is, and the title of Shichibukai still remains.

The World Government is truly a great benefactor.

Of course, this is a joke.

The actual situation is that the World Government has a secret plan and has been developing a humanoid weapon called "Pacifista".

They have fused the bloodline of a special race and secretly extracted the genes of the Shichibukai.

The cyborgs created from this has combat power that is almost comparable to that of a real Shichibukai.

"They didn't have a chance to extract my genes, but I have to be careful not to leave any loopholes later."

Luffy thought to himself, looking at the food on the table.

When it comes to extracting genes, the best target is, of course, human tissue.

For example, when eating, it is possible to leave something behind.

As soon as he boarded the ship, the Mozambia brought him delicious food, maybe with this idea in mind.

"Luffy San, I won't disturb you while you eat. If you need anything later, you can order the marines outside at any time."

Leaving these words, the Mozambia left with the person and when he reached the door, he couldn't help but say one more thing.

"Anything else?" Luffy ate generously and asked.

"About the Pirate Empress... it's best not to provoke her, or you'll be turned into stone! Her ability is very troublesome!"

As a man, Mozambia naturally understands the attraction of The Pirate Empress.

Altough Luffy is also a Shichibukai, He still advised, if Luffy were turned into stone, it would be troublesome.

"Thanks for the reminder, don't worry, I know her ability very well."

"Well then, goodbye."

Click. The door was closed.

Luffy shook his head and thought seriously while enjoying the food.

If the Empress were to release her ability on him, would he turn into stone?

The answer is one hundred percent he will turn into a stone.

This ability is too buggy.

As long as there is a moment of attraction, being mesmerized by her beauty, the body will petrify.

Even without the kind of infatuation between men and women, even with thoughts like "so cute" or "what a beauty," it is still possible to turn into stone.

The Cyborg created based on the Empress is in the form of a young girl, and she can replicate the Empress's ability to turn others into stone.

Surely not everyone will lust after a young girl, right? But still so many people turned into stone. 

In fact, just feeling "cute" is enough to fall victim!

Haki can resist it. With my current Haki, consciously resisting her ability will not be a problem.

Luffy thought calmly.

The only thing to note is to use Haki before being petrified. Once petrified, the person's thinking will be frozen, and there will be no time to release Haki.

But this is not a problem at all, after all, he can see into the future!

Time flies, seven days later.

The warship sailed against the Grand Line and finally entered the Calm Belt.

For Marine warships today, the sea area that is difficult for ordinary ships to navigate is not a problem at all.

Similar to seastone, a substance is installed on the bottom of the warship that can release a pheromone that Sea Kings dislike, so they will not be targeted by the creatures living in the Calm Belt.

[You have sailed in the Sea of Paradise for 7 days, rewarded with 700 adventure coins]

Inside the room.

Luffy sat on the edge of the bed, boredly looking at the blue sea outside the window.

The system prompt arrived as scheduled.

During these seven days, in addition to the daily sailing rewards, the crew members in the Seven Water Capital have also been continuously mastering new six styles.

The previous investments have been rewarding every day.

Up to now, those people have mastered a total of 26 styles, accumulating a feedback of 5200 adventure coins.

Especially Zoro, has become the third person to fully master the Six Styles, after Vivi and Nami!

[Adventure Coins]: 4005 → 9905

Suddenly, a knocking sound is heard.

Voices of the Marines can be heard from outside.

"Luffy-sama, we are about to enter the waters near Daughter Island."

"Understood."

Daughter Island, also known as Amazon Lily, is a country formed by women.

The ruler of this country is one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock.

Before becoming a Shichibukai, she had a bounty of 80 million berries from a single expedition!

Now, after so many years, disregarding her title, this woman's strength must have reached...

Over 1.6 billion!

At this moment, Daughter Island.

"Sister-sama, it's a communication from the Marines!" Marigold immediately reports to the Pirate Empress, "The warship has arrived outside the island and they are requesting us to come out and meet them."

"Hmph, does they know the rules of Daughter Island. Since they didn't request permission to land, let's give them some praise."

The Pirate Empress sits on a cute pink python, her delicate face showing a disgusted expression.

"I hate the Marines, and I hate the government even more. I have no interest in the gathering of the Shichibukai."

"But... are we just going to ignore this?"

"Well, let me think..."

With her eyes closed, the Pirate Empress stands up and walks outside step by step in her red high heels.

"The warship that came to welcome us, daringly intruding into the Sea King's territory, ultimately met an unimaginable end in the sea. Will the Naval Headquarters accept such a result?"

A smile appears on the corners of her mouth as the Pirate Empress's voice reaches the ears of her two sisters.

"Let's go, Marigold and Sandersonia, let's go and meet them~"
