I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

The Straw Hat Pirates did not take the Navy's intensive bombardment seriously. At the call of Franky, the club cow, they actively participated in the activity of naming the new ship.

Luffy: "Bear! White Bear! Lion!"

After being strongly rebuked, Luffy changes his strategy: "Tiger! Wolf! Lion!"

As expected, his simple mind couldn't think of any other words except animals.

Then Franky said the name Uncle Iceberg had given him: "Thousand Sunny!"

It received unanimous praise. With the Pearl in front, Franky named his own name Lion Violent Champion, but no one paid any attention to him. Finally, the ship was officially named - Thousand Mile Sunshine!

Finally, Master Lu said goodbye to Garp and issued a notice that they were going to escape seriously. This completely infuriated the old man. He took out an iron ball bigger than a warship from somewhere and smashed it at the Sunshine.

Under Franky's calm operation, the Sunny launched a wind blast, soared into the sky, flew over the distant ocean, and escaped from Garp's iron ball.

"Even if there are any damages, I will repair it to its original state! The ship and weapons are all with me. From today on, this is your ship!!" Franky officially joined the Straw Hat Pirates with his declaration of employment.

"Oh oh oh-"

"I've had this feeling before..." The Straw Hat Pirates aboard the Sunshine couldn't help but feel emotional as they looked at the white clouds in the sky.

"Three cans of Coke can get you one kilometer! What the Merry can do... this ship can do too, and even better! The Thousand Mile Sunshine will carry on that ship's brave spirit."

Not long after, the Straw Hat Pirates' laughter and joy could be heard again from the Sunny, which had landed smoothly.

"Then, let's toast once again... to the returning Robin and Usopp, their new friend Franky, and the pirate ship Thousand Sunny! Cheers!!"

"Forward!! Next stop is Fishman Island!!"

Zoro grinned and said, no, the next battle is against zombies!

-

Across the boundless blue sea, sunlight shimmers like broken gold, creating a dazzling display. A brand-new pirate ship, like a nimble lion, leisurely rides the wind and waves, sailing across this boundless ocean.

Skulls wearing straw hats were painted on the sails, and the crew's faces were filled with joy for the new ship. Chopper, the ship's doctor, now had his own medical room, and navigator Nami, having just walked out of the comfortable and spacious bathroom, her face filled with indescribable satisfaction.

Luffy and Usopp threw the shark they had just caught into the huge fish tank, and rushed into the restaurant that looked like an aquarium to watch the shark making trouble.

Robin was leisurely sitting at the dining table sipping coffee, while Zoro just happened to surface dragging a sea king: "Luffy! Sanji! Come help!"

At this time, Luffy ran to the deck, but happened to see a wooden barrel slowly floating towards the Sunny. They first salvaged the barrel, and then worked together to disassemble the sea kings and lift them onto the deck.

Only then did they curiously gather around the wooden barrel, on which was stuck a flag - the Royal Treasure of the Sea God.

"Could it be... a treasure that fell from the treasure ship?" Luffy guessed.

"What a pity! There are wine and dry food inside." Nami said with certainty.

"How do you know? You didn't see it."

"Isn't it written here? Before the Sea God's Imperial Treasure, this is the offering that seafarers make to the Sea God in hopes of safety."

"What...it's useless even if you fish it out!"

Zoro grinned: No no no! It works! After opening this, we can go play with Gekko Moriah, the girl who accompanied the original owner for two years. I am looking forward to it.

"Isn't there some wine? Let's drink it." Zoro encouraged people to open the barrel.

"Idiot! Aren't you afraid of divine punishment?" As everyone knows, Usopp is not one to cause trouble.

"You can drink it after just praying. It is said that wine washed by the waves tastes particularly good." Nami showed off her knowledge, not knowing that it was exactly what Zoro wanted.

So Luffy opened the barrel driven by curiosity.

Looking at the flares rising into the sky, Zoro was overjoyed. This wave is stable! Once Perona is caught, even Usopp can scare her unconscious. It won't be a problem to harvest her 1 love points!

However, the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates were completely different from Zoro. They began to discuss the situation. Robin, the smartest person on the ship, began to analyze: "This is a luminous bullet. If it's just a prank, it's fine... However, this ship may have been targeted."

"Is this a trap? Once the barrel is opened, the enemy will know our location!"

"But I can't see anyone!" Chopper looked around with a telescope.

"Even so, the current air pressure... Everyone, take your positions! Escape to the southeast! The storm is coming!" Nami began to direct everyone: "Straight ahead, two o'clock!"

The weather on the Grand Route is always capricious. In an instant, the wind and clouds change color. The originally sunny sky is covered by dark clouds. In a blink of an eye, the wind howls and heavy rain pours down.

"No! It's against the wind!" Nami was a little panicked.

But Franky grinned and warned, "Don't underestimate the power of this ship."

"That's right! Everyone, take in the sails! Let the outer ship go!"

"Oh! That one!" Usopp became excited: "Wow! That one is so cool, I like it so much!"

They're talking about the Sunshine - Dock System - Channel 0 - Coke Engine Outboard Ship.

Two outer wheels extended from the cabins on both sides of the Sunshine and began to spin rapidly. Like a motorboat, it rushed out of the storm and entered the thick black fog.

"We did make it out, but this sea area is so strange. It's not even night yet, but it's already foggy and pitch black!" Sanji smoked a cigarette.

"Could we have arrived at the legendary sea? I'm not mentally prepared yet." Nami was a little panicked.

"Ah? We've reached Fishman Island so soon?" Usopp was a little surprised.

"No, there was a haunted sea before that!" Luffy looked excited.

"That's right, don't be careless. Maybe this sea area is the legendary... Devil's Triangle! A terrifying sea area where everything can mysteriously disappear." Franky reminded.

"Hey...it's...a ghost..." Usopp was shocked.

"That's right, this sea area is haunted." Luffy became more and more excited as he spoke.

"Nonsense... Stop scaring me! How come I've never heard of it?" Usopp raised his voice and tried to calm down.

"Hehehe, Grandma Kokoro told us." Luffy showed his big white teeth.

"She said there were living skeletons." Robin said seriously.

"Listen up, Usopp." Sanji said in a deep voice with a dark face, "I heard that every year a hundred ships mysteriously disappear in this sea area... Even more terrifying is that there are ghost ships carrying the dead cruising back and forth."

"Waaaaaaaa!! Why didn't you tell me about this earlier? So I could prepare! I need to bring my magic weapon to exorcise demons!" The frightened Usopp started screaming.

"Ah!! Usopp, give me some too!" Chopper also started screaming.

At this time, from the depths of the dark fog, a distant singing voice sounded quietly, as if coming from the depths of the underworld, like the whisper of a ghost, filled with an indescribable weirdness.

"Yo ho ho ho..."

As the sound got closer, creaking sounds could be heard in the black fog. It was the sound of rotten plywood. Then, behind the Sunshine, an extremely large old sailboat appeared. The sail was already a piece of rag. Ghostly singing continued to be heard from the boat: "Yo ho ho ho..."

"It appeared! The ghost ship!!" All the Straw Hat Pirates, except Robin and Zoro, opened their mouths and screamed.

When the ship passed the Sunshine, a skeleton drinking tea on board caught everyone's eye...
