Shanks: "Haha! The situation over there is really like what Buggy predicted. How could fate be so magical~~~"
Gol D. Roger: "This is pretty good too! Back then, you two brats, one inherited my will and went to Raftel with Luffy. Haha, great!"
Buggy: "Captain, do you really approve of that Straw Hat kid?"
Gol D. Roger: "Yes! Absolutely approve!!"
Edward Newgate: "Gurarararara..."
"What??? Is this straw hat actually Pirate King Roger's hat...??"
"Upon hearing Buggy say this, Luffy was also incomparably shocked~~~"
"He never imagined that the Pirate King's straw hat would appear in a small village in East Blue, and even more incredibly, reach his hands~~~"
"He still remembered that when the Red-Haired Pirates were about to leave Foosha Village, Red-Haired Shanks said he would leave the straw hat with him as a memento...""
"Luffy never imagined that this straw hat would have such a special significance!!!"
"Suddenly, he looked at Buggy: "Wait a minute, how do you know this?!?""
"Although Luffy might have guessed it in some way, he still wanted Buggy to say it himself~~~"
"Buggy looked at Luffy: "Of course I know!!! Because Shanks and I were both apprentices in the Roger Pirates back then!!!"
"What...!"
"All the other Straw Hat Pirates opened their mouths wide in shock~~~"
"Oh my god! After all this time, we actually have a former Pirate King's crewmate on our ship!"
"Phew..."
"Although he guessed it, Luffy still felt very shocked~~~"
"He also felt this was very magical..."
"Shanks had seen Roger's message on Sky Island. Then Buggy explained everything."
"It was as if everything was predestined."
"But then he quickly dismissed such a ridiculous thought from his mind..."
"Where is there any predestination...? Everything is merely man's efforts!""
"After the events of Shandora's light concluded, the Straw Hat Pirates prepared to leave Sky Island."
"Because of this matter, the Shandia people were filled with gratitude towards the Straw Hat Pirates!"
"And the Angel Clan was also greatly moved by the Straw Hat Pirates because of Enel."
"Now that the Straw Hat Pirates are about to leave, they gave them a giant golden pillar."
"Subsequently, the Going Merry arrived at Konoha's home and began transporting large quantities of breeding equipment~~~"
"Sound Dials, Lamp Dials, Vision Dials, Water Dials, Scent Dials, Wind Dials, Flame Dials, Heat Dials, Thunder Dials, Flash Dials, Impact Dials, all these brought a lot of breeding, no need to worry about not having breeds later~~~"
"As for the Impact Dials, they were actually not found!"
"Although the great warrior Wiper had an Impact Dial, it was a corpse of an Impact Dial, so it couldn't be bred~~~"
"An entire set of breeding ecosystem was transported onto the Merry's deck."
"Although according to Luffy's idea, the seawater of the Blue Sea could also be used to breed these Dial species after a certain proportion of adjustment, just to be safe, they carried 100 buckets filled with Sky Sea water!!!"
"Although the Water Dials are small, never doubt their capacity!!!"
"In Sky Island, Water Dials were used as fire extinguishing tools, so it was easy to see how many Water Dials could be used to put out fires!""
"The Going Merry arrived at the White Sea of the Angel Coast, then, relying on the Tone Dial hot air balloons, directly descended onto the White Sea."
"Afterward, Satori once again attacked the White Sea, and the Going Merry fell from the White Sea!!!"
"When they finally descended to the Blue Sea, everyone subconsciously looked up at the sky~~~"
"That was an unreal feeling..."
"It was as if they had just experienced a dream adventure full of bizarre colors!"
"Look at my Mera Mera no Mi!!"
"Usopp, his palm pressed against a Flame Dial, shot a burst of flames towards the sea surface~~~"
"I am also a Mera Mera no Mi user!!""
"Nami spewed fire from both hands, a magnificent sight beyond compare~~~"
"Haha! We are all Mera Mera no Mi users!!"
"After all, they were toys they painstakingly bred themselves. Everyone played happily~~"
Portgas D. Ace: "This... everyone has the Mera Mera no Mi power~~~"
As a Mera Mera no Mi user, seeing others casually spewing fire, Ace's mood was a little complicated.
Charlotte Linlin: "I can understand your feelings... Seeing those Heat Dials, I feel like my Devil Fruit ability is also terrible."
Crocodile: "You guys are missing the point!! It's obvious that those Dial tools are threats and weapons!!"
Charlotte Katakuri: "You mean, the seawater in the Water Dials poses a threat to Devil Fruit users?"
Smoker: "Huh?? It seems that's indeed possible!! If so... then Water Dials are treasures now!! I don't know if there are any Water Dials left on this Sky Island. I'll find time to fly over and check!!"
Gol D. Roger: "If there are, bring some for me."
Smoker: "Easy to say..."
"When the Going Merry once again arrived at Jaya Island, Luffy and his group and Cricket once again met face-to-face. Everyone lifted their glasses together to toast~~~"
"Two days later, the Merry arrived at Mock Town!"
"Luffy's hand, wrapped around the Golden Bell, directly jumped onto the dock!"
"He roared: "Everyone come and take a look! Whoever can lift this golden pillar gets it!""
"Subsequently, Luffy jumped up and directly stuck the golden pillar into the ground, then returned to the Merry~~~"
"The eyes of the pirates on the dock were completely captivated by this giant golden pillar!"
"Some small fry quickly ran to the town to report this matter to their captains~~~"
"Soon, this news completely spread throughout Mock Town...""
"Seeing more and more pirates gathering on the dock, Luffy's grin showed his back molars."
"Nami incessantly flipped through the bounty booklet, constantly mumbling about how much money this was, and how much that was. Her face was flushed with joy...""
"Such a huge golden pillar, even a giant pirate couldn't move it!""
"Quickly move aside! That person is coming!!!"
"It's over, he's here! That golden pillar must be his...!"
"The Strong Pirates are here!""
"Their captain, Red Potato, is a Devil Fruit user of the Strength-Strength Fruit! His strength is boundless!!!"
"..."
"As the largest pirate force currently staying in a certain ancient town appeared, the pirates on the dock automatically cleared a path~~~"
"Red Potato led a group of ferocious pirates to the golden pillar~~~"
"He was nearly three meters tall. With both hands, he unleashed his Devil Fruit power!!""
"Rumble rumble rumble~~~"
"As the ground collapsed, the giant golden pillar began to rise!"
"He laughed loudly: "Hahaha!! This huge golden pillar is mine now!""
"Hiss~~~"
"The terrifying Conqueror's Haki instantly enveloped the entire field!"
"Not a single person standing on the dock was left...""
"Yes! It's yours. But now it has become my war trophy again...""
"Luffy jumped onto the railing, chuckled, and then said to his companions: "It's done~~~""
"After a few hours, the Straw Hat Pirates loaded all these pirates onto their ships~~~"
"They brought two large ships in total!"
"When the Going Merry left Mock Town with the two large ships...""
"After a long time, scattered silhouettes of pirates gradually appeared on the streets of Mock Town.""
"They either hadn't gone to join the commotion, or they hadn't managed to catch up to the commotion..."
"Unexpectedly, they escaped a calamity because of this. Each of them clutched their chest, exclaiming how good it was to be alive~~~"
"Smoker: "This guy... he really treats pirates as ATMs!!!"
"Gol D. Roger: "Although doing so harms the reputation of pirates, it seems that it is indeed a way to get rich and prosper!""
"Kozuki Oden: "Wearing pirate skins, golden hunters~~~""
"Sengoku: "Hmph! If all pirates could be like them, then the number of people harmed by pirates would greatly decrease!!""
"Edward Newgate: "Did this old man hear wrong? Sengoku actually speaks for Red-Haired Luffy?""
"Sengoku: "Hmph! This old man is just speaking the truth!""
"Gekko Moriah: "The Marshal is right! Although Red-Haired Luffy over there finally became a pirate, they actually indirectly helped many common people by exchanging pirates for gold~~~""
"Mont Blanc Cricket: "Foolish Luffy! Look at Red-Haired Luffy! Learn a thing or two!!""
"Monkey D. Luffy: "Oh..."
"Jaya Island is quite far from Konomi Island. Normally, it would take ten days to half a month to sail."
"But the Going Merry and the two cargo ships only took five days to reach it!!!"
"The reason is simple: the Straw Hat Pirates possessed over 200 Wind Dials!!!"
"Among them, over 200 Wind Dials were secretly snatched from Enel's side."
"This was Enel's accumulated wealth of several years... But it all became cheap for the Straw Hat Pirates~~~"
"It was night..."
"The moon was full!"
"The crisp moonlight illuminated the Navy's Seventh Branch very brightly."
"But this did not prevent the Straw Hat Five from acting...!"
"With wooden sticks in hand, the world is mine!!!"
"No one dared to make a sound as they silently knocked their way in~~~"
"When they arrived at the base commander's room..."
"Who is it!?"
"Vice Admiral Logia climbed out of bed in a daze. He looked at the suddenly barging in shadows and shouted loudly, "This is the Navy's Seventh Branch base, you damn..."
"...brats?!"
"Just as he was about to threaten them in the name of the Navy, suddenly... Vice Admiral Logia's eyes lit up!""
"Holy crap!! Isn't this my God of Wealth????"
"Before, he had been a colonel in the Navy's Nineteenth Branch for several years, but he hadn't gained any substantial benefits, and his rank had remained stagnant."
"Until one day..."
"...he woke up from his drunken slumber."
"It wasn't to let him have a private vault, but also because he 'captured' a large number of pirates and was directly promoted to Admiral!"
"He originally thought that this was the peak of his life, and he would live out the rest of his life peacefully on Lily Island~~~"
"But he never imagined that when..."
"The initial five 'Great Benefactors' suddenly reappeared!"
"This made him incredibly excited~~~"
"If it weren't for needing to save face, Vice Admiral Logia would have directly kowtowed to the five people in front of him right now!"
"Excuse me..., you sleep for a while first~~~"
"Luffy walked over, holding a wooden stick~~~"
"Wait!!!"
"Vice Admiral Logia suddenly roared loudly!"
"Huh???"
"Luffy was a little puzzled, and subconsciously stopped his hand~~~"
"Could it be that this guy still wants to struggle a bit???"
"Vice Admiral Logia looked around the bedroom, seemingly searching for something.""
"No way... getting promoted and getting rich, such an important thing, I must have a sense of participation!""
"He mumbled in a voice only he himself could hear, then he looked at the wall...""
"Hmph! No need to trouble you all, I'll do it myself...!"
"Ouch!! ---"
"Vice Admiral Logia slammed his head against the wall, falling completely lifelessly to the ground!""
"???"
"Luffy looked back at the four people behind him, completely bewildered.""
"The four of them made a shaking head motion in unison..."
"..."
"..."
"Don't look at us, we don't understand either."
"Hina: "This... isn't this... Colonel Logia?""
Logia: "Heh heh... that one over there is now an Admiral.""
X. Drake: "Ahhh...! I mean, how familiar does this guy look? It turns out he's the Navy Colonel who was beaten by the Straw Hat Pirates before!"
X. Drake: "I remember now! He claimed that the pirates he exchanged for bounties were ones he captured in a bloody battle... then he got promoted because of that!""
Jinbei: "Lahahaha!!! What the heck!!! So it was this guy! Why do I feel like I've seen him before?"
Gol D. Roger: "This guy... when others encounter the Straw Hat Pirates, they're ruined. He encounters the Straw Hat Pirates and gets directly promoted and rich!! Haha!!""
Edward Newgate: "Look at this situation. Is he going to get promoted and rich again this time????"
Marco: "Haha! The Straw Hat Pirates brought so many pirates this time. If all of them become 'his captures,' he might directly get promoted to Rear Admiral!!!"
Crocodile: "Speaking from the facts... with such a large number of pirates, let alone being promoted to Rear Admiral, he'd have enough merit to be promoted to Vice Admiral! Of course... if his strength isn't up to par, he should only be promoted to Rear Admiral."
"When the Straw Hat Five came out of the Navy's Seventh Branch base's vault, everyone carried a large amount of treasure!!!"
"As expected of the Seventh Branch!!! So rich!! A full 1 billion Berries!!!" Usopp shouted excitedly."
"But Buggy said displeased: "We still lost big time!!! The number of those pirates, put together, is at least 2 billion Berries!""
"Zoro nodded: "Yes! But there's nothing we can do. We can't keep carrying them forever. It's still early to get to the next Navy base!""
"However, Luffy just laughed: "It doesn't matter! I've noted down how much money we're short!!! Next time we exchange bounties, if they have extra money in their vault, we'll make up the difference bit by bit!""
"The other four heard him and instantly cursed Luffy's cleverness!!!"
"Huh? Oh, right, that Marine Commander just now, why did he look a little familiar?" Luffy asked puzzledly."
"Buggy also spoke: "Uh... actually, I also felt a bit familiar!!! But I can't remember where I saw him~~~""
"Don't think about it, we've come all the way from the Grand Line. How could we have seen him before? He's probably just a common face!"" Usopp shrugged."
"Yeah~~~"
"Luffy scratched his head. Anyway, it wasn't anything important, so he stopped thinking about it..."
"When the Straw Hat Five returned to the Going Merry, the Merry's current worth directly soared to 2.9 billion Berries!!!"
"Besides these 2.9 billion Berries, there was also a lot of treasure obtained from pirates,"
"as well as Sky Island's giant Golden Bell..."
"If all these things were converted into money, conservative estimates would put the Straw Hat Pirates' total assets at over 5 billion Berries!!! ---"
"And now, the Straw Hat Pirates faced a very important problem!!!"
"That is... they had too much money, and the Going Merry couldn't fit it all anymore."
"Carrying this dilemma, the Going Merry set sail again, heading towards the next island, Grand Line Island~~~"
The screen faded here, and the red-framed video slowly dimmed~~~
