He slowly turned around, looking up at the sky.
However, that single glance made his entire body freeze instantly!
Boom—!!!
Beneath the azure sky, a colossal figure tore through the air.
Enveloped in violent air currents, he descended like a Heavenly God!
A giant, holding aloft a small sailing ship, strode from the horizon!
"What… what is that?!"
All the workers in the Dock Number One looked up, their eyes filled with shock and terror.
Some even collapsed onto the ground, their legs giving out due to the overwhelming visual impact.
Iceberg's pupils constricted. He stared in disbelief at the giant descending from the sky.
And that giant was—
Luffy's Ultimate Technique Mode Giant Form!
Luffy, who had been impatiently waiting for Nami's reply on the shore, had long grown restless.
Thus, he used his Observation Haki to precisely locate Nami and Robin.
He then decisively made his move—activating his Ultimate Technique Mode.
He lifted the going merry and used Moonwalk to fly towards Dock Number One.
"Nami! Robin!"
"We're here—!!"
Luffy's voice echoed through the sky, thundering and shaking the entire Dock Number One!
Under such an Aura, the entire dock trembled.
The workers' faces turned pale, and they retreated, some even unable to stand steadily!
Iceberg gasped, his heart churning with monstrous waves.
"What kind of monster… is this man?!"
Standing beside him, his secretary Kalifa, also had a pale face, too stunned to speak.
—"He can actually bring the ship over in such a way?!"
Boom—!
Air currents surged as Luffy, with an overwhelming might, fiercely swooped towards Dock Number One!
His body was as tall as a mountain, enveloped in red lightning.
Each bolt of lightning tore through the air, bringing a suffocating sense of oppression!
Even the few elite Shipwrights standing far away felt an irresistible power.
It was like a huge rock pressing on their hearts, making it incredibly difficult to breathe!
On the other side, a long-nosed worker struggled to lift his head, his face pale, his voice trembling:
"Lucci… that's… the Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates… Monkey D. Luffy!"
His voice was filled with unbelievable terror.
Rob Lucci of CP, disguised as a Shipwright, stood beside him.
At this moment, he was also staring intently at Luffy, his pupils contracting violently, his gaze cold.
"I didn't expect… that he would have developed his Devil Fruit ability to such a Realm…"
The long-nosed Shipwright swallowed hard, his eyes filled with deep shock:
"Just his Aura… is enough to make my heart tremble…"
However, Lucci's gaze grew even more solemn.
He felt an unprecedented threat, his brows furrowed, and he muttered:
"This Monkey D. Luffy… gives me an extremely dangerous feeling."
The long-nosed worker was stunned, looking at him in horror.
"Wh-what?! You mean, even if you use your Devil Fruit ability… you wouldn't be his opponent?"
Lucci was silent for a moment, his face as cold as ice, and finally said slowly:
"…Yes."
"He has already stepped into a Realm completely different from ours."
"…"
The long-nosed worker was completely dumbfounded, an expression of disbelief appearing on his face!
One must know that Lucci was CP9's strongest expert, possessing power beyond human limits!
Even such a Lucci now admitted that he was no match for Straw Hat Luffy?
The long-nosed worker couldn't help but gasp, cold sweat trickling down his forehead.
But Lucci merely narrowed his eyes slightly.
He took a deep look at the giant Luffy in the sky, then whispered:
"Let's wait and see…"
"If they don't hinder our mission… let's not conflict with them for now."
After speaking, Lucci withdrew his gaze, slowly turned around, his eyes deep and dangerous.
Amidst everyone's shocked gazes, in the sky—
Luffy, holding the going merry, descended like a War God, plummeting towards Dock Number One—!!!
"Ahhh! Luffy, slow down…"
"We're going to die…"
Amidst Usopp and Chopper's cries of alarm, the going merry was tossed by Luffy onto the Dock Number One pier.
Luffy, back in his normal form, looked at the magnificent dock and exclaimed:
"Is this the world's strongest shipyard?!"
Iceberg finally recovered from his shock at this moment.
Looking at Luffy, who had just descended with thunderous might.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart: "This kid… truly has monstrous abilities…"
Nami, with a smile, introduced him to Iceberg:
"Mr. Iceberg, this is the Captain of our Straw Hat Pirates, Monkey D. Luffy."
Iceberg took a deep breath and nodded:
"Mr. Luffy, truly… astonishing abilities."
His tone still carried a trace of lingering shock.
Nami looked at her companions on the going merry's deck, then raised her eyebrows.
She called out to Lin Ning, Zoro, and the others on the ship:
"Lin Ning, Zoro, Sanji—hurry and bring down our gold!
The going merry needs repairs, and we also need to discuss the new ship with Mr. Iceberg next!"
"Alright, Miss Nami!" Sanji was the first to respond, a faint smile on his lips.
Immediately after, under the gaze of everyone in the entire Dock Number One—
"Boom—!!"
A mountain of gold was piled in the center of the pier!
The dazzling gold shone with brilliant light under the sun.
For a moment, everyone's eyes in the entire shipyard were almost blinded!
"Wh-what?!"
"Is that… gold?!"
"A mountain of gold—!!!?"
The entire Dock Number One instantly erupted, the Shipwrights gasping in unison.
They stared in horror at the mountain of gold, their mouths agape, their eyes almost popping out of their sockets!
Even Iceberg couldn't help but his pupils shrink violently, his face showing extreme shock.
And his secretary Kalifa, beside him, instinctively adjusted her glasses, a hint of disbelief in her eyes.
On the entire pier, the air seemed to solidify at this moment.
Nami, standing in front of the gold pile, curled her lips into a confident and sly smile.
With her arms crossed, she looked at Iceberg and said casually:
"Mr. Iceberg, this—is our shipbuilding fund."
Her tone was light and nonchalant, as if this wasn't a fortune capable of driving the world mad.
But merely some loose change she had casually thrown out.
These words made Iceberg look deeply at Nami, waves stirring in his heart.
If it were in the past, Nami would never have been so high-profile.
She would never easily expose such a vast fortune in front of strangers.
But now it was different.
Nami knew very well—
The Straw Hat Pirates were no longer what they used to be!
They had already established themselves at the Peak of the sea, and even an Admiral couldn't casually manipulate them.
On this turbulent sea, they were already strong enough to walk wherever they pleased!
She wasn't worried at all that someone would dare to covet this gold.
After all, anyone who dared to reach out would probably not even have the chance to leave the pier alive.
