One Piece: Fist of the World.

Chapter 197 Luo's Action
“The clothes here are pretty good.”

Liluka looked at the clothes with a critical eye.

She is a fashion designer herself and has her own ideas about clothing design. Although the clothes in front of her are relatively novel in design, they are not too amazing.

However, it is still remarkable.

"Of course I'm far behind you."

Bakara chuckled and walked into the store with Liluka to try on clothes.

Putting aside other things, she approved of Liluka's fashion aesthetics.

"But I'm afraid you don't have much time to make clothes recently."

According to Rhodes, Liluka is just a handyman on the ship now.

The New Polar was built according to the standards of a large sea vessel, directly competing with the navy's large warships. Although Gray's technology made many functions of the ship automated and it could be operated by just a dozen of them, many functions still could not be fully utilized.

Just keeping the hull clean is a big problem.

After Liluka took over as a handyman on the Polar, all these problems were solved.

The dolls she made can clean the ship without sleep and are also fully capable of some daily maintenance on the hull.

In the original plan, Rhodes intended to recruit a group of sailors from the Seven Water City and Shampoo Land to board the ship. Those who could sail there were barely qualified to board Rhodes' ship.

However, after having Liluka, Rhodes gave up his original plan.

It is hard to say how much of a role the pirates or sailors in the first half of the Grand Line can play after entering the New World. Ordinary sailors are not like these cadres who can grow quickly and keep up with Rhodes's pace.

"There will be time soon!"

Liluka picked up a skirt and tried it on herself.

"After my recent overtime work, I have completed 300 puppet soldiers, which is basically enough."

Putting the skirt that she was quite satisfied with aside, Liluka picked up another piece of clothing.

"After that, as long as I make some more dolls as spares, I can make you some nice clothes."

Liluka's hand movements paused slightly, and her eyes lighted up slightly.

"Although I can't keep you in the dolls forever and dress you up as you please, it might be better to try them on in person."

Liluka's face flushed slightly and a suspicious laugh came out of her mouth.

"You are the pervert. Why would a girl smile like that?"

Bakara looked at Liluka with a slightly helpless tone.

After interacting with her for a while, she found that this "Doll Princess" was just like a child who had not grown up, with a head full of strange ideas.

Just like now, I don’t know what she was thinking about, the smile on her face is even more perverted than that of a pervert.

"Nothing, just let me do whatever I want."

Liluka wiped the non-existent saliva and blurted out.

"Ok?"

Bakara looked at the other person with a slightly dangerous look in her eyes.

"Ah! Sorry, I forgot you are not my doll."

"You, why are you so obsessed with dolls?"

Bakara explored a little.

"Because only dolls can always stay by my side."

Liluka happily picked out beautiful dresses, and at the same time thought that if she altered these clothes a little, they would look good on her doll.

"Whether it's family, friends, or other people I like, they will leave me for various reasons, but only dolls will always be by my side no matter where I go. Of course, I like dolls the most."

Bakara looked at the lively girl, who was walking lightly around the store, picking out nice clothes one by one. Judging from the sizes of the clothes she chose, she was mostly choosing clothes for herself.

The red twin ponytails bounced with Liluka's steps, just as excited as her mood.

Although she stayed on the Polaris as a handyman and her heart was still in Luo's hands, it could be said that her life was completely in the hands of others, but the girl did not seem to be too worried or depressed.

Bakara could feel that the other party was even enjoying his current life.

"Can you tell me about your past?"

Bakara picked out a few pieces of clothes and walked into the dressing room with Liluka. The door was closed. The two people were a little close to each other in the small dressing room. Liluka picked up a piece of clothing and handed it to Bakara with anticipation on her face.

"You try on the clothes first."

Liluka stared at Bakara intently and talked about her past.

"There's really nothing much to say. I've always liked pretty dolls and clothes. When I was little, I made some dolls myself, made pretty clothes for them, and played dress-up games for them, just like an ordinary little girl."

"Later, I accidentally ate the Doll Fruit and found that I could make the dolls I made move, which made me like playing dress-up games with the dolls even more.

Especially after I accidentally discovered that I could put the person I liked into the doll and then make the doll's face look like the other person!

As for my friends, they will cooperate with me in playing dress-up games, but after a while they won’t want to continue. But with dolls, they will continue to play no matter how long it takes or what kind of clothes they wear! ”

Having said that, Liluka's mood suddenly became high.

"Obviously, as long as I put you inside the doll, you won't feel hungry or tired, and all these negative feelings will disappear. You can also change into all kinds of pretty clothes and stay by my side all the time. Why don't you like it?"

Snapped! !

Bakara suddenly snapped her fingers, waking Liluka from her memories, then turned around and showed off the clothes she was wearing.

"Very beautiful! It turns out that my vision is right. You have such a great figure, you must show it off!"

Liluka looked at Bakara's clothes with a little excitement.

"And then, you put your family and friends into the dolls?"

After Liluka's mood recovered a little, Bakara continued to ask.

She had been hit by Liluka's ability before.

She has two abilities.

One is to put the person into a doll box. In that case, she just becomes smaller, but all the feelings are still there.

But the other ability to put a person into a doll is different. After being put into the doll, although you can see the outside through the doll's vision, it is indeed as Liluka said, whether it is hunger or fatigue, all these physical feelings disappear.

It was a very special experience. You could see things and hear sounds, but you couldn't feel anything else, not even your own existence.

If a person is mentally fragile, this kind of contradictory feeling will probably make him go crazy.

"I put my best friend into the doll, even though she said she wanted to stay with me forever!"

"But once I released her back out, I knew I had lost this friend forever."

Liluka's voice dropped a little.

"Until now, I still remember the way she looked at me, that fear and alienation..."

Bakara patted Liluka's head, and her twin ponytails drooped listlessly.

She seemed to be just a girl who had mastered the power but was a little bit spoiled.

"Your friends really like you, otherwise they wouldn't say they want to stay with you forever."

"It's just that she's just an ordinary person. After being put into a doll by your ability, the feeling of nothingness can drive people crazy. She's just a little scared because she just experienced your ability."

"Did you guys reconcile afterwards?"

Bakara comforted Liluka softly.

"No."

Liluka's voice came.

"Then, she died!"

Bakara's hand on Liluka's head suddenly stopped, and she subconsciously prepared to activate her ability and let the goddess of luck bless her.

"Killed by pirates."

Liluka's voice continued to be heard, and Bakara retracted the ability that she was about to use.

"Because I couldn't stand the look in my good friend's eyes, I locked myself in the doll house and completely shut myself off. But when I recovered and came out of the doll house, all my friends and family were killed."

"Of course I know my friend doesn't really hate me, but if I hadn't let her out of the doll, would she not have died? If I had put all my family members in the doll, would they not have died?" "Humans are so fragile!"

"Only dolls can stay with me forever!"

"You are too extreme!"

The door of the locker room was suddenly opened, and Nia slapped her hand on Liluka's shoulder.

"Why did you just open the door and come in?"

Bakara covered her body a little bit, because the clothes that Liluka chose for her just now were a little too revealing.

"You two stayed in there for too long, and I heard your conversation outside!"

Nia's gaze swept over Bakara's body, her eyes red with jealousy.

“Are the people put into the dolls still themselves? What you end up with is just a doll that looks the same as the person you like! What you need are friends and companions, not a group of dolls!”

Nia slightly exerted force on the palm of her hand that was squeezing Liluka's shoulder.

During her training since she was young, she had experienced countless separations and farewells from her companions. She could understand Liluka's feelings for losing her friend.

But people always have to look forward!
"Besides, I remember you said you wanted us to stay with you forever. Now we are all together, even our rooms are close to each other."

"So, stop being obsessed with your dolls. We can always be your partners if you want!"

Behind Nia, Minina was chewing a water melon, a specialty of Fishman Island. Upon hearing what she said, she nodded vigorously in agreement.

"But···"

Liluka raised her head and looked at the three new friends in front of her.

"I want to hold you and sleep together."

"You guy,"

Bakara put on her clothes and took a step back. Nia's eyes were slightly alert.

"He's really a pervert!"

Boom! !

A loud explosion suddenly came from a distant place, and Nia and the others looked at each other in confusion.

The noise of the explosion made it hard for them not to think of Peikin and Xia Qi.

But weren't they there to see the mermaid? Why were they making such a noise?

"what sound!"

"Are there pirates breaking in?"

"Where are the troops of Ryugu City?"

"It seems to be the noise coming from Fishman Street."

"···"

Hearing these voices, Nia and Bakara looked at each other, then turned and walked outside.

"Ladies, these clothes?"

“Wrap them all up!”

Nia waved her hand and packed all the clothes she had picked out before. Liluka took out a small shoulder bag and used her ability to put all the clothes in front of her into the bag.

"The explosion came from that direction."

Nia figured out the direction, and a group of four rushed towards the direction where the explosion came from.

···
hours ago.

Southeast of Fishman Island, Coral Hill.

This is the prosperous port town of Fishman Island, and the famous Fishman Cafe is located here.

“This is heaven!”

In the cafe, Pekin looked at the mermaid sisters coming and going.

"Unfortunately, there is no meat here."

Weber looked at the mermaid ladies coming and going, and while complaining about the food, he couldn't help but sigh at the vicissitudes of life.

He was a Shandia who lived ten thousand meters above the sky. He never expected that one day he would go to the sea ten thousand meters below and meet many completely different races there.

"That's because we mermaids don't eat meat or fish."

A mermaid lady with long, smooth golden hair presented them with snacks and fruits, and after hearing Weber's words, she began to explain.

"However, the snacks of our Fishman Island are unique. They are completely different from the snacks you have tasted before. You can try them."

"Yohoho, what a kind and beautiful lady."

Brooke held the coffee and looked at the mermaid girl standing in front of her.

"Can I see your panties?"

"what?"

The mermaid looked at Brooke strangely, held the tray in her arms, and tilted her head to look at the skeleton in front of her.

"Can not be done."

"I see, it turns out that it's not possible."

Brooke looked frustrated.

"Because I'm not wearing any underwear."

puff-

A strong airflow spurted out from Brooke's nostrils, and Pekin and Xia Qi's faces turned red instantly.

“No…no…nothing…?”

Brooke felt as if she had seen heaven.

"Idiot."

Luo held his forehead with his hand and pulled up Pei Jin's clothes.

"You've seen the mermaid, now it's time to get down to business."

"Wait, Luo! Didn't you hear, she's not wearing..."

"Fool!"

Luo couldn't help but want to pry open his head to see if everything inside had turned into explosives.

"She is a mermaid, her lower body is a fish!"

Pei Jin and the others were petrified instantly.

"move."

Pekin, Xia Qi and Brooke stood up mechanically and followed Luo out of the cafe.

"Wait, what are we going to do? Didn't Boss Rhodes let us move freely?"

After walking out of the cafe, Pei Jin suddenly reacted, looked at Luo strangely and asked.

Even if the mermaid's lower body is a fish tail, it doesn't affect their cuteness!
"Of course it's something important."

Luo's mind flashed back to what Rod had told him when they were diving.

If the previous voyages were ones of adventure and entertainment, then from now on they officially began the fight for hegemony.

Therefore, they need to fight for every bit of strength!
"We are going to go to Yuren Street, meet some people, find out some things, and then gain some support."

Luo glanced at the three people who followed him out.

With their help, it shouldn't be difficult to do what Rhodes asked.

If things were really as Rhode said, they might be able to conquer Fishman Island in one fell swoop and bring this power under their control!
