Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

Chapter Forty-Five: Explosion!

Pfft, hahaha!

Accompanied by Bucky's sinister laugh.

Numerous split bodies surrounded Huang Hai from all angles, while his own head, wielding two swords, lunged towards Nami's location.

"You thieving woman! Give me back my treasure!!"

"Don't come near me!"

Seeing the disgusting flying head of the other party, Nami felt nauseous and subconsciously swung the heavy package in her hand, smashing it heavily towards Buggy.

Clap!

Unexpectedly, the moment the package hit, Bucky's flying head suddenly stopped, a sinister smile appeared on his face, and his prepared hands grabbed the large package, rendering it immobile.

"Little girl! You're still a bit slow on the uptake, aren't you? The treasure is back in my hands now! Hahahaha..."

"..."

Seeing this, Nami was startled. She pulled hard with both hands and shouted through gritted teeth, "Let go..."

"Let go?"

Bucky's face darkened.

"It seems you really don't know what death means. You're the one who should let go!"

"This is my treasure!!!"

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly released his grip on his hands and, like an arrow being shot, wielded a throwing knife, quickly stabbing towards Nami.

However, at this moment.

what? !

Suddenly, Bucky's head was hanging upside down, and his hands were flying around inexplicably in mid-air, as if he had lost control and was being flipped around.

"W-what's going on?"

Boom!

"Your reaction is way too slow!"

After sending the last piece of Bucky's waist to fly hundreds of meters away, Huang Hai straightened his slightly disheveled trench coat and said casually, "Most of your body is beyond your control. Doesn't that feel bad?"

"Damn it! How did you find out?"

Bucky, feeling his body being tossed about in all directions beyond his control and spinning in mid-air, couldn't help but show a look of horror on his face.

For some reason, from the start of the battle until now, he has discovered that his opponent understands him better than he understands himself.

Why is this happening? They seem to have never seen this before.

Moreover, he has kept such a low profile for over a decade, so how exactly was the intelligence leaked?

Could it be that…

Ignoring the spinning head, Bucky stared intently at Huang Hai and roared, "Do you know Shanks?! That bastard must have told you!!"

"Otherwise, how could you be so familiar with my weaknesses..."

"Tell me! Is it really Shanks?!"

"..."

Huang Hai glanced at the other person strangely, then pointed speechlessly to the two feet hiding in the shadows not far away.

"Do you think I'm blind? Did you see those feet? Hiding them like that, do you really think you're so smart?"

"After fighting for so long, even a fool could guess that there's something wrong with his legs!"

"As for Shanks, I do know him, but he's already a big shot at the top of the world. How could you possibly think he'd scheme against a weakling like you?"

"After fighting for so long, it's time to end this farce, Bucky..."

At this point, Huang Hai remained calm, staring at the location of Bucky's head. He clenched his fist, and transparent ripples bounced rapidly on the surface of his fist, causing the surrounding air to twist and compress quickly.

"No...no, no, no! You have to calm down!!"

Sensing the murderous intent emanating from the other side, Bucky spun around, screaming shrilly, "Talk! We'll talk about anything! Just don't kill me, and you can have all the treasure!!!"

"late!"

With a nonchalant response, Huang Hai took a step forward and vanished from the spot using [Shave].

next moment.

As he appeared in mid-air, his long-awaited right fist struck Bucky's face with the precision of a missile.

Under the bombardment of the close-range pressure cannon, Bucky was sent flying, his face twisted and deformed, his red, ball-like nose collapsed instantly, and his eyes bulged out.

despair!

Until Huang Hai's body landed.

bang——

The head, which had flown far away, exploded and scattered all over the ground.

The various parts of the body that had been flying back in the distance fell to the ground as if they had lost all life.

"If they can survive like this, then the Chop-Chop Fruit can indeed be called immortal..."

Seeing the other person's head shattered into several pieces, a bloody mess, Huang Hai nodded and turned to look at Nami, who was still dragging a large bundle.

"Well? The battle is over. Shouldn't you return the treasure to me now?"

"..."

Seeing that even someone as powerful as Buggy met such an end, Nami swallowed hard, looked longingly at the package in her hand, and reluctantly handed it to Huang Hai with a heartless expression.

Immediately, Nami said pitifully, "Can't you leave me a little bit?"

"After all, I put on this facade with great effort..."

"If you want it, you can..."

Seeing this, Huang Hai smiled and said, "How about joining my pirate crew? As long as you become my companion, all this gold and silver treasure is yours..."

So you're a pirate too...

Upon hearing this, Nami looked at Huang Hai with complicated emotions, a hint of disappointment welling up inside her.

If only he weren't a pirate...

The thought of those despicable pirates from her hometown and the shadows they cast over her made her heart sink once again.

But... with these, I can achieve my goal...

By the time……

Looking down at the large package, Nami slowly closed her eyes. A short while later, when she opened them again, a complex expression flashed across her face, then she smiled broadly, as if excitedly saying:

"Then you have to keep your word! I agree to join your pirate crew and become your companion. As payment, I'll take all this treasure!"

"make a deal!"

Huang Hai smiled slightly, and said meaningfully, "Then you must remember your promise. Once you join us, you can't leave, Nami..."

"Uh-huh……"

With her cute little face pressed against the package and her eyes sparkling like crescent moons, Nami, despite her complicated feelings, exclaimed happily, "Bugsy really has an eye for quality; the treasures are all top-notch!"

"There must be no less than 20 million Berries in there..."

At this time.

"Hai!"

Chapter Forty-Six: Glory!

not far away.

Zoro, who had also finished his battle, was sheathing his sword and walking this way.

"Hey! How about it?"

Seeing the other party's somewhat disappointed expression, Huang Hai joked, "Have you encountered an interesting opponent?"

"They're all a rabble."

Zoro shook his head, turned to Nami, and asked, "This is...?"

"That's right, it's our newest companion, Nami!"

He shrugged, picked up Nami's somewhat heavy package as he passed by, and introduced the two of them to each other as they walked:

"Nami should be considered the most skilled navigator in the East Blue! We shouldn't have to worry about the journey ahead..."

"His name is Roronoa Zoro, and his goal is to become the world's greatest swordsman. You can just call him Zoro."

"As for me, I forget if I mentioned before, you can call me Hai or Luffy. My original full name was Monkey D. Luffy, which was a name I didn't really like, so I changed it to Hai. Luffy..."
