Belial, Tregear, new members of the Straw Hat Pirates

"hateful."

Just as Luffy was about to use Gear Second, Holdem shouted, "Don't move, or I can kill her too."

With Tama captured, Luffy and his crew are severely restricted. Meanwhile, the number of enemy soldiers nearby is increasing.

"Hmph, the legendary Straw Hat crew is nothing special after all," Holdem laughed.

Just then, a black light flashed, and Holdem's laughter came to an abrupt halt.

Holdem trembled, looking at Asakura Ryuya beside him in shock, and asked, "Who are you?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

Asakura Ryuya kicked Holdem away, and Tama, who was being bitten by the lion's head, fell down and was caught by a hand.

Luffy had been waiting for a long time, and immediately activated Gear Second, sending Holdem flying with a Fire Fist.

Looking at Luffy's fists blazing with fire, Ayu seemed to see a familiar figure before her eyes.

The three landed on the ground.

"Beria."

"You guys are really a handful," Asakura Ryuya said helplessly.

Asakura Ryuya threw Ayu down and looked at the pursuers in the distance, saying, "The number of troops is increasing. Let's hurry up and leave."

"To avoid being surrounded, let's split up," Asakura Ryuya said. "Jugglus, Zoro, and that Kiku, go that way."

"I'll go with Luffy, and Tama will go the other way."

"Ah."

Just then, Asakura Ryūya's communicator rang.

Torregia: "Beria, how are you all doing now?"

Asakura Ryūya: "It's alright."

Toregia: "I have good news for you. The treasure ships from the great estate, laden with food, are sailing towards you."

"A treasure ship!" Luffy's eyes lit up at the mention of it. "Does it have lots of food?"

Torregia: "Yes, we'll be there soon."

Luffy laughed after hearing this, "Alright, let's go and steal all that food!"

"Okay, I'm hungry anyway."

So the group changed their plans: Jugglus Juggler, Zoro, and Kiku went to find the treasure ship.

Luffy, Asakura Ryuya, and Tama distracted the nearby forces and, incidentally, found Komachiyo, who had been lost by the Beasts Pirates.

To prevent Zoro from getting lost, Jugglus Juggler and Kiku sandwiched Zoro between them and quickly left.

……

Meanwhile, a treasure ship laden with countless delicacies is sailing on its course.

Speed, the man-made Devil Fruit in horse form who was guarding the treasure ship, looked into the distance with a puzzled expression. "What's going on there?"

"Reporting to Lord Speed, it seems there has been an enemy attack on Boro Town."

"What? Speed ​​up! Let's see what's going on."

"Yes."

A group of people went to Boluo Town and saw that the town was devastated, as if it had just been through a storm.

"How is this going?"

"what!"

A scream rang out, and Speed ​​looked in the direction of the sound to see Jugglus Juggler in his demon form dispatching the soldiers in front of him with a few slashes.

The two groups met face to face, and Speed ​​immediately ordered his men to shoot arrows at them.

Jugglus Juggler and Zoro exchanged a glance, drew their swords, and each unleashed a slashing wave to wipe out the enemies.

Speed ​​moved quickly enough to dodge, only to find that the three had already boarded the treasure ship. At the same time, Jugglus Juggler used his intimidating power to force the animals pulling the ship to run away.

"Treasure ship! Damn it!"

Speed ​​could only rage helplessly from behind.

……

"Komachiyo!" Tama shouted.

"Awoo!" Komachiyo cried out, and the three of them quickly ran over. Komachiyo had fallen into a pit and couldn't get out.

It was a piece of cake for Luffy; he easily dragged Komachiyo out.

The three of them immediately sat on Komachiyo and left.

On the way, they happened to run into Speed ​​and his men, who were in a fit of impotent rage.

"Ignore them, let's go."

As soon as Asakura Ryuya finished speaking, a red cloth appeared out of nowhere and covered Komachiyo's eyes.

"Ouch."

Komachiyo thrashed about, its front paws hitting a rock and tripping. The momentum caused Luffy and Tama to fall off.

It landed right on a "horse".

"Phew, thank goodness I landed on the horse. Let's go, horse!"

"Hey!" Suddenly, the "horse" turned its head, and a human face shouted, "Who are you?"

"Humans!" Luffy and Tama were startled. But looking behind Speed, it was indeed a horse.

Asakura Ryuya watched from afar, "This woman is also a user of an artificial Devil Fruit."

Speed ​​struggled incessantly, trying to throw the two of them off.

Asakura Ryuya called out, "Tama, bring out that dumpling."

"ball?"

"It's right on your face!"

"Understood." Ayu took a small dumpling off her face and threw it into Speed's mouth.

After finishing his meal, Speed ​​stood there, motionless, without any reaction.

Just when Ayu thought the dumplings had no effect on humans, Speed ​​snorted and, with a smile on his face, sped off with the two of them.

"Hmph, looks like it worked," Asakura Ryuya said. "Komachiyo, follow them."

"Ow."

Komachiyo rushed over, knocking over a soldier in the process.

The group quickly caught up with the treasure ship, but somewhat ironically, Speed ​​disregarded Luffy's orders while obeying Tama's every word.

Upon arriving on the treasure ship, Luffy's mouth watered at the sight of the endless food. He immediately began to devour it.

Ayu hesitated for a moment, then Asakura Ryuya tossed her a large piece of meat. Ayu swallowed hard and started eating.

As Ryūya Asakura was eating meat when he suddenly noticed a familiar figure beside him. He recognized the familiar long sword and hat. Ryūya tentatively asked, "Rā?"

The man turned his head, and sure enough, it was Luo.

"Luo, what are you doing here?"

“It’s been a long time, Mr. Beria,” Luo said.

Zoro said, "We ran into him just now when we were retreating."

"You really haven't disappointed me," Luo said, barely containing his emotions. "You've actually caused such a huge mess."

"There's nothing we can do about it. What can we do when these guys are such a handful?"

Luo said with a helpless expression, "Now I finally understand why Master Torre didn't make a plan."

"Ok?"

"Because no matter how you designate it, you will unsurprisingly disrupt it."

"Hahaha……"

Just then, Luffy, who was eating meat, suddenly remembered something and said, "You guys go first, I'll go out for a bit and be right back."

After saying that, Luffy ran away.

"Straw Hat Master, what is he doing...?"

Asakura Ryūya said, "Don't look at me, I don't know what he's thinking."

Soon, the treasure ship arrived near Jianlou Village.

At this time, the people of Jianlou Village were suffering from severe hunger. Everywhere there were crying children and helpless people.

Just then, someone shouted, "Look!"

Everyone looked over and saw a huge ship, laden with food, sailing towards them.

Upon seeing the arrival of the treasure ship, everyone was extremely excited and called over their friends and acquaintances.

Then, Asakura Ryuya and Jugglus stopped the treasure ship, and everyone disembarked.

The villagers from Jianlou Village rushed over to take and eat the food.

Everyone cried out in happiness. For these people at the very bottom of society, even expired food was a delicacy.

Not to mention these delicious, exquisite, and healthy fish, meat, vegetables, and fruits. They are simply unparalleled heavenly delicacies.

People enjoyed the delicious food, then carried it away, shouting from the bottom of their hearts and laughing happily.

As people ate and took their food, they expressed their sincerest gratitude to Asakura Ryūya and the others, knowing they would no longer go hungry.

The others looked at them with smiles on their faces.

Soon, a loud shout rang out: "Hey, get out of the way!"

Turning around, Luffy ran over carrying a huge basin nearly ten meters in diameter.

Luffy placed the basin on the ground; the water inside was crystal clear. "Here's the water! It's not poisonous, and it's free! Take as much as you like!"

Seeing Luffy laughing heartily, the people were stunned for a moment before shouting with surprise and gratitude.

Luffy shouted, "I am Luffy Taro. If anyone asks, just tell them this."

"Oh!"

Luffy jumped down, found Tama, and gave her an apple.

Luffy said, "Tama cooked for me, and this is my way of repaying Tama's kindness."

Luffy then joined the meat-grabbing frenzy.

After unloading the food, it wasn't over yet. The people of Jianlou Village wouldn't let the treasure ship go; they dismantled it and took away all the timber, grain, cloth, and ironware on board.

Ayu also thanked Luffy, saying it was the happiest birthday she had ever had.

However, Luffy's expression suddenly changed, and he said with a serious face, "Don't be happy about these little things. I will make these things take for granted."

Even getting a full meal is a luxury, something Luffy cannot tolerate.

"When we leave this country, we will turn it into a country where everyone can have enough to eat," Luffy said firmly.

Ayu stared blankly at Luffy, recalling that familiar scene in her mind:

She and Ace stood on the beach, and Ace smiled and said, "When we come back to this country, we will turn it into a country where you can have enough to eat."

Ayu smiled happily after hearing this, and she could never forget Ace's smile.

Seeing Tama moved to tears, Luffy asked, "What's wrong? Are you unhappy?"

"No, no!" Realizing she was crying, Ayu quickly turned around. "I was just a little scared."

After everything settled down, Ayu, under Speed's protection, left Jianlou Village and returned to her home.

Just as they were about to set off, someone called out to them.

The children said happily, "Thank you! This is the first time we've ever seen so much food."

“Grandpa has recovered his spirits too,” a woman said.

An elderly man, looking quite energetic, said, "I can finally rest in peace now."

Asakura Ryūya muttered to herself, "I have a feeling you still have a few years left to live."

“Our children are more energetic now.”

"This is the first time I've ever eaten so much."

Luffy smiled gently and happily, "Really? Isn't that great?"

Then, to prevent the Beasts Pirates from retaliating against the village of scavengers, Belial left behind several monsters and aliens:

Alien clone, Guts Alien.

Four-Dimensional Monster - Bruton.

Demonic Monster - Kodaiig.

Cosmic Evil Spirit - Alien Akumania.

Let them temporarily take charge of protecting Jianlou Village.

Afterwards, the group received the highest level of praise from the people of Jianlou Village and officially left the village for Oden Castle, the meeting point that Luo had told them about and that Toregia had informed them of.

……

At the same time, Torregia glanced at his terminal and said to a man behind him, "They're coming soon, hurry up and eat."

"Oh, I know."
