I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

"What on earth is driving you to fight so hard?" Sanji sat next to Zoro lying on the splint, smoking a cigarette, his eyes deep. "From the duel with Hawkeye, to training regardless of the weather, to the life-threatening training now."

"We are still too weak." Zoro, covered in bruises, sighed weakly.

Sanji took a deep puff of his cigarette. "There should be a limit to how strong you want to be! If you keep going like this, you'll really die."

Zoro didn't say anything. Perhaps he was really anxious. He exchanged 100,000 points of love value for a useless primary Domineering Haki, which made him feel a little weird. It was like a gambler who had lost everything and was betting everything to make up for his losses. He almost lost his life.

Just now, after diving naked for more than five minutes, he was indeed attacked by a huge creature similar to a sea king, which was the three water monkeys mentioned earlier.

The pressure of the deep sea, coupled with holding his breath for a long time, greatly reduced his strength. When he fought back, he even found it difficult to swing his sword due to lack of oxygen and the resistance of the sea water.

He realized that the situation was not good and wanted to swim back to the surface to breathe, but the water monkey stirred up the water flow and restricted him in place.

The power of the water monkeys in the water far exceeded his imagination. Even after using the two Gangli Luo, he was still tossed around like a ball by the three water monkeys in the water. In desperation, in order to save his life, he forced himself into the three-headed and six-armed form, chopped the three water monkeys, and accidentally cut the long rope tied to his body.

He felt weak for a while, but fortunately Sanji saw the corpses of three water monkeys floating on the sea surface. He pulled the rope and realized something was wrong, so he jumped into the water to rescue them in time. Otherwise, he might have really lost his strength and swam back to the surface.

However, he gained a lot from this adventure, because he found that his swordsmanship, strength and physical fitness had been greatly improved in this battle in the water. This reminded him of many martial arts novels in his previous life, which mentioned practicing martial arts in water or under waterfalls.

Even if he can't comprehend the Armament Haki, it can still improve his basic stats. Perhaps he can consider putting his daily training aside.

In this case, you have to collect 1,000 love points as soon as possible and redeem them for the advanced skill of Moon Step in the system mall - Undersea Moon Step to ensure safety.

"Emergency report!! A ship has been spotted at 12 o'clock!" Usopp held a telescope.

"Is it an enemy?" Luffy asked excitedly.

"No, up there..." Usopp reported the military situation from the lookout: "There are no flags or sails on it! That ship is so strange."

"Huh? There are no signs at all, so what are they doing on the sea?" This obviously did not match Luffy's understanding.

"And the crew on that ship looks listless! As if they've wilted..."

Because it was heading towards the Merry, the two ships soon passed each other.

"There's a ship! It's a pirate ship!!" A crew member on the strange ship saw the Merry.

Suddenly chaos ensued on board:

"Brothers, cheer up! Enemy ships have appeared. Hurry up and grab the treasure! Get ready to fire."

Luffy was overjoyed when he heard this: "Are we going to fight?!"

Sanji's expression was serious, and Zoro was ready to draw his sword.

But at this time, I heard a quarrel from the other side again.

"Hey! Who are you ordering to fire? Go fire it yourself."

"What are you guys arguing about? Shut up!"

"Who told you to meddle in other people's business? Do you think you're the captain?"

"Captain... no more..."

Under the watchful eyes of the Straw Hat Pirates, everyone on the boat was like frost-bitten eggplants, drifting aimlessly into the distance with the current.

"What's the situation with that ship? It's a mess." Luffy was very curious.

"Huh, who knows? I thought we'd encountered an enemy," Nami began to analyze. "The temperature and humidity in this area are very stable. We must have entered the climate zone of the next island..."

"Brothers! I saw the island!!" Usopp on Wangdou shouted excitedly, then he calmed down: "But the fog near the island is very thick."

"Is it foggy? It could be dangerous, Chopper, check the direction ahead." The navigator pointed on the boat.

"By the way, the ship just now was a bit strange. There was no captain, no sails, no flags... no spirit, no organization, and it didn't look like a pirate group at all." Usopp analyzed calmly.

"Perhaps they were defeated in a naval battle, their captain was killed, and their belongings were robbed..."

"No, no... I've observed carefully, and there are no signs of fighting on that ship. For pirates, there's nothing as important as life on board. Well... Anyway, I have a bad feeling."

"Luffy, don't go ashore as soon as we reach the shore." Nami listened to Usopp's words and warned the naughty captain.

However, Luffy didn't listen at all: "I wonder if there is a town on the island, it would be great if there is a place to build ships!"

"Woo waaa, everyone listen to me..." Usopp lay on the ground looking very uncomfortable.

"Hey! Chopper, Usopp has a disease that prevents him from going to the island." Sanji interrupted.

"It's incurable." Dr. Chopper was helpless about it.

As the Merry emerged from the dense fog and prepared to dock, a vast expanse of grassland greeted everyone. A gentle spring breeze blew, bringing a gentle warmth that seemed to penetrate the heart. Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, casting a shadow over the grassland.

On this green grassland, there are some tall apple trees growing sparsely, with straight and upright branches, and the trees are full of apples as slender as cucumbers.

Luffy shouted excitedly: "What a great place, an endless prairie..."

So Luffy, Usopp and Chopper, the three funny guys had no sense of crisis at all, and hurriedly jumped off the Merry and started having fun on the grassland.

"Oh! What a dull place." Obviously the scenery here did not suit Sanji's aesthetic taste.

Immediately afterwards, Zoro saw from afar a tall and thin white bear walking past Luffy and the other two. Hmm... it was confirmed, this was Long Chain Island!

Looking at the three funny guys following the bear away, Nami was also helpless: "I really can't stand them. They always venture into unfamiliar lands so recklessly."

"Don't worry, there shouldn't be any danger on this island." Zoro began to drop anchor.

After parking the boat, the remaining four people also landed on the island. It just so happened that this island was where they could collect some fruits, as it was not good to always eat seafood.

When the four were about to go find Luffy and the others, a huge ship appeared in the thick fog. The ship fired two huge cat claw-shaped grapples towards the coast, blocking the way of the Merry's tail.

"What does this mean?" Nami was a little surprised to see the Merry trapped.

"If you want to fight, come down!" Sanji looked unhappy.

"We are the Fox Pirates, don't worry! Our goal is to duel!!"

Zoro looked thoughtful, Hmm... It seems that there is a girl who has appeared here for more than three episodes.
