Belial, Tregear, new members of the Straw Hat Pirates

"Wait, Luffy," Usopp said. "You just said you provoked Big Mom?"

“Yeah,” Luffy said, still getting beaten up by Nami, “but Belial stopped him.”

"Phew, that's good." Usopp and Chopper breathed a sigh of relief. But then Luffy said something even more shocking:

"It seems Belial insulted that guy," Luffy said.

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, Usopp and Chopper immediately looked like old men on the subway checking their phones. Then, their faces darkened as they stared at Belial: "Bel-Belial, what did you say?"

Belial, who was fiddling with the Ultimate Blade, said after hearing this, "Ah, I was just asking if she is BIG.MOM?"

"Yes, that's it?" Usopp asked worriedly.

"No, I also said get the hell off the throne of the Four Emperors right now, or I'll twist her head off."

"Eh!" Upon hearing this, not only were Usopp and Chopper struck dumb, but everyone else was also stunned.

"We're doomed!" Usopp and Chopper hugged each other and cried their hearts out. They thought they had found a reliable person, but it seems this guy is even more troublesome than Luffy.

"What? Are you scared?"

"How can I not be scared? That's one of the Four Emperors!" Usopp cried out.

Belial stood up, sheathed the Ultimate Blade, and cracked his neck as he said, "Didn't you want to become the Pirate King and find One Piece?"

"To find One Piece, you have to defeat them, right? If you don't even dare to fight them, what's the point of finding One Piece and becoming the Pirate King?"

"This, this, this."

“Belial is right,” Luffy said. “To become the Pirate King, you have to defeat them. If you don’t even dare to do that, what kind of Pirate King are you?”

The others exchanged glances and all showed expressions of agreement.

At this moment, Tregear spoke up, "If that's the case, we should leave. Now that we've challenged the Four Emperors, they'll inevitably take some action, so we have to leave. Otherwise, this Fish-Man Island might become a battlefield."

Hearing Torregia's words, everyone's expressions turned grim. But what Torregia said was indeed correct.

"Tregear is right, we have to leave," Luffy said.

"Lord Luffy, are you leaving?" Shirahoshi looked at Luffy with teary eyes.

"Yes."

"Alright, everyone get ready, we're about to set off." After Nami finished speaking, everyone headed to the Thousand Sunny to prepare.

“Me too, I’ll do my part,” Bai Xing said, and followed. Neptune also rallied the others to help.

Just then, Beria grabbed Torregia.

"Hey kid, come here for a second." Belial said, leading Tregear aside.

"What's wrong, senior?"

Belial raised his left hand, revealing a black mark. He released energy, and a black sword appeared in his hand.

"This is... Dark Pattern Cloth!"

Upon seeing the sword, Toregia rarely showed a shocked expression.

"This is... the one from Alien Empera..."

“No,” Belial said with a complicated expression, “Emperor’s is the Blade of Emperor. This should be the weapon of the Dark Armor of the Dark Demon Armor.”

"Then what... how could this be..."

Belial pondered for a moment, then opened his eyes wide and said, "I remember now. After I established the Galactic Empire and was defeated by that brat Zero, my soul was attached to the Dark Armor."

"Then why is it here?"

“It should be… inside me…” Belial’s expression turned gloomy.

Just as Tregear was about to speak, Nami's voice suddenly rang out: "Hey! Belial, Tregear, what are you doing? Come here right now!"

Hearing Nami's words, the two snapped out of their daze. Belial said, "Let's talk about this later, let's go now."

"Okay." After saying that, Belial and Tregear headed for the Thousand Sunny.

……

After some preparation, everyone was ready aboard the Thousand Sunny.

Meanwhile, Franky tidied up Dock No. 2 and temporarily arranged for Belial and Tregear to stay there, dividing the space into two rooms by installing a wall between them.

At this moment, Shirahoshi cried to everyone, "My lords, are you really leaving?"

"Yeah, Cowardly Star," Luffy chuckled. "We're going on an adventure."

"Alright," Belial said impatiently. "It's not like we'll never see each other again, so why are you crying?"

"By the way, what is this thing?" Luffy pointed to a guy next to Shirahoshi whose head looked like a telescope and whose body was like an iron barrel.

"This is Sevenger," Torregia said. "He is the guard I prepared for Princess Shirahoshi." Sevenger then bowed to everyone.

Just then, Nami looked at her Log Pose with a serious expression. Tregear walked over and asked, "What's wrong, Miss Nami?"

"I don't know what's wrong, the Log Pose is acting strangely," Nami said, looking at the erratic pointer of the Log Pose.

"It's alright, let me take a look."

After Torregia finished speaking, he activated his instrument. A simplified map appeared on it.

"Wow, Tregear, does your device have this function?" Nami asked in surprise.

“Of course, this thing has many uses. I’ll make you an updated record pointer that’s similar to this one later,” Torregia said.

"Thank you so much!" Nami exclaimed, hugging Tregear as she spoke.

Tregear, breathless from Nami's ample bosom, quickly pushed her away. Covering his nose and blushing, he said, "You're welcome."

Just then, Luffy walked over, looked at the maps on the screen, and said, "Hmm, what's this?"

“Oh, this is the map I scanned,” Torregia said.

"Based on my calibration, I found that the direction the erratic pointer is pointing is highly abnormal in terms of magnetic field and climate. It could be dangerous."

Upon hearing this, the other members of the Straw Hat crew immediately felt a sense of impending doom.

Before they could even speak, Luffy shouted, "Alright, let's head in this direction. There must be something fun there."

"Ruined."

"Nothing good ever comes out of Luffy's mouth!" Chopper and Usopp cried out.

"I feel alright," Belial said. "What kind of adventure is it without some thrills and excitement?"

"Yeah, Franky, get ready to set sail."

"Lord Luffy," Shirahoshi called out to them, "Next time we meet, I want to go to the surface with you." Shirahoshi said firmly.

After hearing this, Luffy walked over and placed his hand on Shirahoshi's fingers, saying, "Okay, next time we meet, I will definitely take you to land."

"Everyone, come over here too."

"Okay." As she said this, the others came over and put their hands on Bai Xing's fingers.

"Hey? Belial, why aren't you coming over here?" Everyone looked at Belial, who had turned his head away.

"I don't want to do such childish things," Belial said disdainfully.

"Hey, Belial, what's the big deal? Come here right now."

"No, I refuse."

"Is Lord Belial disgusted with me?" Shirahoshi asked, her voice trembling with tears.

Seeing this, Belial quickly came over and put his hand on Shirahoshi's fingers. "Come on, let me do it," Belial said helplessly.

"Alright, then it's a deal."

"Oh."

After saying their goodbyes, the group bid a reluctant farewell to Shirahoshi and Fish-Man Island. Franky retrieved the anchor, and the Thousand Sunny rose into the air amidst the farewells of Shirahoshi and the residents of Fish-Man Island.

"Ah! This is truly my paradise. I wish I could stay here forever," Sanji exclaimed.

"Then you can stay here. Nobody wants to keep you here," Zoro said dismissively.

"What did you say, green algae head?"

"Who are you talking about? You damn cook?"

As they were talking, the two started fighting again.

“Have these two always been like this?” Belial asked.

“Yes, you’ll get used to it,” Robin said with a smile.

Belial walked up to Tregear and asked, "You only prepared Sevenger? If I'm not mistaken, that guy is at most stronger than someone like Hody. What if you run into a Shichibukai or a Yonko?"

After hearing this, Torregia smiled calmly and said, "Of course not, there's another one, and you know him too." As he spoke, Torregia whispered something in Belial's ear.

Beria was also shocked after hearing this, and said, "You're really something, kid."

"Of course."

……

Dragon Palace, Shell Tower...

Beside Shirahoshi's bed, on a large iron plate, a person dressed in armor with silver, dark brown, and tan stripes had their arms and legs embedded in the plate, their head bowed.

Suddenly, he raised his head and said in a low voice, "Emperor... Beria..." Then he lowered his head again.

……

At that moment, Luffy stood at the bow of the ship, looking ahead and shouting, "New World, here we come!"
