The Going Merry sailed smoothly through the Grand Line's unpredictable waters, each crew member focused on their tasks. The sound of Zoro's weights clanking mixed with the gentle splash of waves against the hull, while Sanji's humming drifted from the kitchen as he prepared snacks for the ladies.
At a table near the back of the ship, Robin sat with Nami and Vivi, her coffee cup warming her hands as she listened intently to their navigator's tale.
"Navigator-san, can you tell me about your journey till Whiskey Peak?" Robin asked, her archaeologist's mind collecting every detail.
Nami glanced at Vivi, who seemed uneasy around Robin but couldn't hide her curiosity. "Well, I suppose there's no harm in it..."
She recounted their adventures - from Buggy the Clown to their escape from Loguetown, carefully omitting certain details about their captain's background. As she spoke, Robin noticed patterns emerging - moments where Luffy seemed to know exactly what to do, decisions that seemed random but proved crucial.
A loud crash suddenly interrupted their conversation as Luffy came hurtling into their table, scattering cups and saucers.
"LUFFY!" Nami shouted while Vivi jumped back in surprise.
Sanji burst from the kitchen, his leg already raised for a kick. "You shitty rubber-" But his kick met no resistance, passing through Luffy as if he had no strength at all.
"Oi, what's wrong?" Zoro called from across the deck, his training forgotten.
"I can't move," Luffy mumbled weakly, face down on the deck. "Tried something new... didn't work right."
"What kind of technique could leave you in this state, Captain-san?" Robin asked, genuinely intrigued.
"Gear Fourth," Luffy managed to say. "If I master it... even Crocodile wouldn't stand a chance."
Robin's eyes widened slightly. She'd seen Crocodile fight many times and knew his true strength. For Luffy to speak so confidently about defeating him...
"How long will you be like this?" Nami asked, concerned despite her irritation.
"About thirty minutes," Luffy grinned weakly. "Worth it though! Almost had it this time!"
Robin's mind worked rapidly as the crew fussed over their immobilized captain. This 'Gear Fourth' - it wasn't just some random technique. Luffy spoke of it like something he knew would work once mastered.
Later, in the kitchen, Robin sat alone with her thoughts, piecing together everything she'd observed.
Knowledge of classified history, understanding of advanced combat techniques, confidence about future events, and occasional slips about things that hadn't happened yet. The important to make sure what he said about Saul isn't a lie for if it is, then hell will be the place he wishes to visit.
A theory began forming in her mind, one that seemed impossible yet explained so much. But before she could pursue that line of thinking.
"Robin!" Luffy's voice called from outside, apparently recovered. "Come watch me try again!"
"You're not trying that technique again today!" Nami's voice followed.
"But Namiiiii!"
"NO!"
Robin smiled despite herself. Whatever secrets their captain held, one thing was certain - life aboard the Going Merry would never be dull.
Meanwhile, in Rain Base, Crocodile sat in his darkened office, smoke curling from his cigar as he contemplated recent events. Miss All Sunday's disappearance couldn't be a coincidence. Not with these rookie pirates suddenly appearing and interfering with my operation.
"Sir," a subordinate entered nervously. "Still no word from Miss All Sunday."
Crocodile's hook scraped across his desk. "Keep searching, and start changing everything in the organization. Start small then change the big things. And double the bounty on Straw Hat Luffy's head. Something tells me he's more dangerous than he appears."
Back on the Merry, Robin watched as Luffy attempted to sneak another try at his new technique, only to be caught by both Nami and Sanji.
'devil fruit?' she mused silently. 'Or perhaps...' Her eyes narrowed thoughtfully as she watched their captain's antics. Whatever the truth was, she intended to find out.
While the commotion with Luffy's training continued on deck, Usopp sat in his workshop area with Karoo, working on some new ammunition. The duck watched curiously as Usopp mixed different compounds.
"See, Karoo? These special pellets will help us against stronger enemies," Usopp explained, holding up a red sphere. "Though I'm not sure why I feel like we'll need them so soon..."
"Quaaack?" Karoo tilted his head, noting Usopp's troubled expression.
"It's weird, you know?" Usopp continued, lowering his voice. "Luffy keeps doing things like he knows what's coming. Like when he warned us about Mr. 3's wax powers before we even met him. And now this 'Gear Fourth' thing..."
"Quack quack!" Karoo nodded vigorously, remembering how Luffy had somehow known about Baroque Works' operations in surprising detail.
"Maybe I'm overthinking it," Usopp sighed, returning to his work. "But as the crew's brave warrior, it's my duty to be prepared for anything! Right, Karoo?"
"QUACK!" Karoo saluted, making Usopp laugh.
Their conversation was interrupted by another crash from above, followed by Nami's angry shouts and Sanji's threats.
"Sounds like our captain's at it again," Usopp chuckled. "Come on, Karoo, let's make sure he hasn't broken anything important this time."
The duck followed Usopp up to the deck, both of them ready to help however they could - even if that meant just keeping their mysterious captain from overdoing it again.
Understood. Here's a revised continuation that incorporates your feedback:
As Usopp and Karoo emerged onto the deck, they were greeted by the familiar sight of Luffy being scolded by Nami and Sanji.
"I told you, no more Gear Fourth today!" Nami shouted, her fist raised threateningly. "You're nowhere close to mastering it yet."
"But Nami, I can't master it without using it!" Luffy protested, his rubbery body sprawled on the deck. "I just need to get a little stronger."
Sanji let out an exasperated sigh. "Yes, Luffy Using Gear Fourth could provide you with an advantage when facing stronger opponents in the future. However, we can't have you collapsing in the middle of a fight."
Usopp approached cautiously, Karoo waddling beside him. "Uh, is everything okay?"
Nami turned to them, her expression softening slightly. "Oh, Usopp. Luffy's just being his usual reckless self. He keeps trying to use this Gear Fourth technique, even though he's nowhere close to mastering it."
"Gear Fourth, huh?" Usopp mused, glancing at their captain with a mixture of concern and curiosity. "That sounds... intense."
"You have no idea," Zoro chimed in, sheathing his swords as he joined the group. "Whatever it is, it takes a huge toll on him."
Luffy pouted, his rubbery cheeks puffing out. "But I was so close to getting it right this time!"
Vivi, who had been observing the exchange quietly, spoke up. "Luffy, I appreciate your effort, but I don't want you to sacrifice yourself for me or my kingdom."
"Don't worry, Vivi!" Luffy interrupted, his usual grin returning. "This isn't for alabasta, but so I can protect my Nakma, from anyone."
Luffy's eyes remained fixed on the horizon, a determined glint in his gaze. He knew that with or without Gear Fourth, he had the power to defeat Crocodile and save Alabasta. But the future battles he had glimpsed were a constant reminder that he needed to keep pushing his limits.
'I'll master Gear Fourth eventually,' Luffy thought to himself. 'And that will only be the start to gain the strength to protect my Nakma.'
With renewed resolve, he turned his attention back to his crew, ready to face whatever challenges lay ahead.
Somewhere in the Grand Line, a large, heavily armed ship features cannons, a spacious deck for troops, and a distinctive white and blue color scheme.
Smoker and Tashigi are on board trying to track the straw hat, but they don't hear any news on them, and the only signal they were able Interference turn failed as the signal changed. "Now, we don't have any choice we to go to Hina for help"
Smoker let out a frustrated sigh, his cigar smoke curling around him. "Tashigi set a course for Hina's location. We're going to need her help to track down those Straw Hat pirates."
Tashigi's eyes narrowed, a determined glint in her gaze. "Yes, sir. And this time, I won't let Roronoa Zoro slip through my fingers. I need to capture him and reclaim the Wado Ichimonji sword."
Smoker glanced at his subordinate, understanding the importance of that particular blade to her. "Very well. Hina's intelligence network may be the only way we can stay one step ahead of Straw Hat Luffy and his crew. We'll need to work together to achieve both our goals."
The Marine ship turned, its powerful engines propelling it toward a new destination. Smoker knew that Hina was not someone he particularly enjoyed working with, but desperate times called for desperate measures.
"Hina's information may be the key to finally capturing the Straw Hats," Smoker muttered, his gaze fixed on the horizon. "That kid Luffy has been slipping through our fingers far too easily."
As the vessel sailed onward, Smoker couldn't help but feel a growing sense of unease. The Straw Hats had proven to be a formidable foe, and he knew that confronting them head-on would be no easy task. But with Hina's help and Tashigi's determination to reclaim the Wado Ichimonji, perhaps they would finally have the upper hand.
"We'll catch you, Straw Hat," Smoker said, his voice low and resolute. "Even if it's the last thing we do."
The ship continued its course, cutting through the waves of the Grand Line as it headed towards its rendezvous with the elusive and powerful Marine captain, Hina.
In Going Merry, Robin who after a week, finally has all the information about luffy journey,
The sea breeze gently ruffled the pages as she documented her theories about their mysterious captain. First, Devil Fruit: Perhaps an unknown fruit that allows glimpses of possible futures or past events. But this seemed unlikely as Luffy already possessed the Gomu Gomu no Mi's powers. Second, Prophetic Dreams are a powerful one. Third, The most outlandish yet increasingly plausible theory. His specific knowledge of events, people, and places he shouldn't know about, combined with occasional slips about "future" events.
As the Going Merry approached Little Garden, the prehistoric island's dense jungle loomed before them. Steam rose from various points in the vegetation, and distant roars echoed across the water, making Usopp's knees shake.
"Those... those aren't normal animal sounds, right?" Usopp stammered, clutching his slingshot.
"Of course not! This is Little Garden," Luffy grinned excitedly. "It's full of dinosaurs and giant warriors! Dorry and Brogy are awesome!"
Nami shot him a suspicious look. "How do you know their names already?"
Before Luffy could respond, a massive shadow passed overhead. The crew looked up to see a huge pterodactyl circling their ship.
"Everyone, get ready," Zoro said, hand on his swords. "Looks like we're about to have company."
"Wait," Robin interrupted, her eyes fixed on Luffy. "Captain-san, you seem very familiar with this island. What else should we expect?"
Luffy's expression turned serious for a moment. "Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek are here. They're gonna try to trap us in wax. And..." he hesitated, glancing at Nami, "we need to be careful about getting sick here."
"Sick?" Nami asked, concerned.
"Just trust me," Luffy said firmly. "No one goes anywhere alone, and if anyone feels even a little fever, tell Chopper right away- oh wait, we don't have Chopper yet..." He caught himself too late.
Robin's eyes narrowed at this slip. Who was Chopper? And how did their captain know so much about what awaited them?
A tremendous crash interrupted her thoughts as something massive moved through the jungle ahead. The sound of clashing weapons echoed across the island, accompanied by booming laughter.
"GABABABABA!" "GEGYAGYAGYAGYA!"
"The giants!" Luffy exclaimed joyfully. "They're still fighting! Come on, let's go meet them!"
"Luffy, wait!" Nami called him.
"I'll keep an eye on him," Zoro sighed.
Stop, you moron!" Nami snapped, her voice cutting through the air like a whip. "Do you want us to end up searching for two people instead of one? Sanji-kun, you go."
Sanji's eyes widened with concern, his usual suave demeanor momentarily faltering. "But Nami-swan," he protested, his voice filled with genuine worry, "who's going to protect you and the ladies if I'm gone? I can't bear the thought of leaving you unguarded!"
Nami sighed, a of hint of appreciation for Sanji's devotion. "You are right," she relented, her tone softening slightly. "Usopp, Zoro, you both go. And Usopp," she added, her eyes narrowing with a mix of authority and concern, "make sure this idiot doesn't get lost."
Zoro grunted, crossing his arms with a smirk. "Who are you calling an idiot?"
"I think I have Prehistoric island fever"Usopp trembling in fear"It's a condition that only affects those with exceptional bravery. My body can't handle the sheer excitement of being on an island with dinosaurs and giants. I might break out in hives or start seeing double!"
Nami crossed her arms, unimpressed. "Just go!" she commanded, pointing back towards the jungle.
As Luffy and Usopp bounded off the ship, Zoro reluctantly followed, grumbling about babysitting duties. The dense jungle of Little Garden loomed before them, filled with the sounds of prehistoric life.
"Stay close, Usopp!" Zoro called, keeping a wary eye on the surrounding foliage. "This place is crawling with things that could eat you in one bite."
Usopp gulped, clutching his slingshot tightly. "I-I know! But Luffy seems so excited..."
Luffy, meanwhile, was already racing ahead, his laughter echoing through the trees. "Come on, guys! The giants are this way!"
Back on the Going Merry, Nami, Sanji, and Robin watched the trio disappear into the jungle.
"Do you think they'll be okay?" Vivi asked, her worry evident.
"With Luffy leading the way, who knows?" Nami sighed, though there was a hint of fondness in her voice. "But Zoro and Usopp will keep him in check."
Sanji lit a cigarette, leaning against the railing. "And if they run into trouble, we'll be ready to back them up."
Robin, still pondering Luffy's mysterious knowledge, turned to Nami. "Navigator-san, do you ever wonder how your captain knows so much about places he's never been?"
Nami hesitated, glancing at the jungle where Luffy had disappeared. "All the time. But with Luffy, you just learn to go with it."
Meanwhile, deep in the jungle, Luffy skidded to a halt, his eyes wide with excitement. Before them stood two massive figures locked in combat, their laughter booming across the island.
"Dorry! Brogy!" Luffy shouted, waving his arms. "Hey! Over here!"
The giants paused, turning their attention to the tiny figures below. Dorry, the larger of the two, squinted down at them. "Who are you, little ones?"
"We're pirates!" Luffy declared proudly. "And we're here to see your awesome fight!"
Brogy let out a hearty laugh. "GABABABABA! Brave little warriors, aren't you?"
Usopp, trembling slightly, managed a shaky smile. "Y-yeah! We're, uh, really impressed by your strength!"
Zoro crossed his arms, studying the giants with interest. "So, how long have you two been fighting?"
"One hundred years!" Dorry boomed, his voice filled with pride. "A battle of honor that will continue until one of us falls!"
Luffy's eyes sparkled with admiration. "That's so cool! I wanna see who wins!"
As the giants resumed their duel, Luffy and his companions watched in awe, the ground shaking with each clash of their weapons.
But lurking in the shadows, Mr. 3 and Miss Goldenweek observed the scene with calculating eyes.
"Looks like our targets have arrived," Mr. 3 smirked, adjusting his glasses. "Time to put our plan into action."
Miss Goldenweek nodded, her paintbrush poised. "Let's make sure they don't leave this island."
On the other side of the island, a ship with a swan's head was white. Another feature was hand-operated paddle wheels The Swanda has "Okama Way" written on the sail, it is Mr.2 ship. As Mr.2 goes inside of jungle to find Mr.3, he instead finds Mr. 5 and Miss Valentine, who had arrived on the island to redeem themselves after their failure at Whiskey Peak.
"Ah, Mr. 5, Miss Valentine!" Mr. 2 greeted them with a theatrical bow. "What brings you to this prehistoric paradise?"
Mr. 5 scowled, his pride still wounded from their previous defeat. "We're here to prove ourselves to the boss. We can't let those Straw Hats make a fool of us again."
Miss Valentine nodded, her expression determined. "We'll capture them this time, no matter what."
Mr. 2 chuckled, his eyes glinting with amusement. "Well, well, it seems we have a common goal. Let's see if we can make this little adventure... entertaining."
As the three agents plotted their next move, the Straw Hat crew remained unaware of the danger closing in. But with Luffy's wearing, there was no danger except from the new player in the game.
