143: Chapter 142: Sabo Arrives! The Terrifying Bark is Completed"Everyone from the Straw Hat Pirates, how are you?"
After the Straw Hat Pirates settled Ryoma's body, a blonde figure appeared on the ruined castle, followed by a woman wearing goggles.
He gently lifted the brim of his hat, revealing his blond hair and a warm smile on his burn-scarred face.
"You guys made quite a commotion this time too!Luffy, how have you been lately?"
Luffy looked at the newcomer, tilted his head and grinned:
"Hey!Sabo!You really kept us waiting!"
Sabo's voice ended with a smile:
"After all, this sea area is known for its strangeness, and according to some intelligence, it is also the territory of Gekko Moriah, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.We have to be cautious after arriving here."
"Not long ago, we sensed a violent energy explosion erupting from this island, and we were wondering who was fighting here.We never imagined it was you who were responsible!"
Luffy raised his eyebrows:
"Hmm~ I'm glad you're here!"
Sabo looked around and saw that there were a few more unfamiliar faces in the Straw Hat Pirates than the last time they met, so he smiled kindly:
"By the way, there are still some of you who don't know me!Well, let me introduce myself first."
"Hello everyone, I'm Sabo, the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army.I'm also Luffy's older brother.Nice to meet you, Luffy's new companions!It's a pleasant surprise for Luffy to have such an outstanding group of companions like you."
Franky and Brook, who had never seen Sabo before, were a little surprised when they heard this:
"Super!Luffy's brother!"
"Yohohohohohoho, I didn't expect Mr.Luffy to have such a powerful brother!"
Luffy chuckled and remained silent.
Sabo began to introduce the person next to him:
"Luffy, the person next to me is Miss Betty, one of the captains of the Revolutionary Army.I wonder if there's something you're anxiously calling us over for?Did you say before that there's someone here that we might be interested in?"
Army Captain Betty waved politely:
"Hello!I am Belo Betty, the commander of the Eastern Army of the Revolutionary Army.What can I do for you, Luffy?"
Sanji's blood boiled at the sight of such a beauty: "Oh!Beautiful lady."
Nami flashed and grabbed Sanji's ear and dragged him back: "Oh, yes, yes.Now is not the right time to do this!"
The two members of the Revolutionary Army didn't react to this little episode, they just found it interesting.Luffy couldn't help but laugh:
"Ms.Betty, I heard you're the user of the Parahuman Encouragement Fruit, right?It's said your fruit can inspire people and even allow them to unleash power beyond their limits."
Betty nodded:
"Yes, what's wrong?"
Luffy raised the corner of his mouth and pulled out Perona, who had been hiding in the corner pretending to be transparent when Sabo and the others arrived.
"Sabo, and Miss Betty.Did you know that this little girl possesses the opposite power of the [Encouragement Fruit]?"
Betty took off her goggles after hearing this:
"Hmm?A power opposite to the power of inspiration?Could she be discouraging?"
Luffy's tone was neither hurried nor slow:
"That's right!Her name is Perona.She was adopted by Moriah.Now that Moriah is dead, she has become our prisoner."
"Perona, she's the user of the Parahuman Ghost Fruit.If the spirits she creates pass through the opponent's body, they'll become extremely negative and depressed."
"Of course, her current fruit ability is not yet fully developed.It won't work on someone who is already very negative.If she encounters someone with too much Haki, her Depressed Ghost will have little effect."
Betty suddenly raised her voice:
"That's quite impressive!Once such an ability is used on the enemy, it will be their nightmare!No wonder Luffy said there's someone here that we'd definitely be interested in!This is truly.a pleasant surprise!"
Betty's eyes were staring at Perona so hard that they almost glowed green.Perona couldn't help but shrink her head, pursed her lips, and hid behind Nami.
Seeing this, Sabo comforted him:
"It's okay, don't be afraid, Miss Betty won't eat you."
Perona poked her head out slightly, her heart beating fast.
"The Straw Hat Pirates.are actually closely connected to the Revolutionary Army!The second-in-command of the Revolutionary Army, and the commander of the Revolutionary Army.what on earth do they want to do by coming after me?"
Luffy simply revealed his cards at this moment:
"Perona, I hope you can join the Revolutionary Army.They will provide you with shelter!Aren't you homeless now?It's not appropriate for you to join us.But in the Revolutionary Army, your abilities will be well-suited and you will have a great place to use them!"
Perona's head was full of questions at this time:
"What?What?Why are you suddenly asking me to join the Revolutionary Army?What.is going on?I.I'm a pirate!How can I join the Revolutionary Army?"
Sabo also understood Luffy's meaning and said calmly:
"Pirates?Why can't pirates join the Revolutionary Army?In the Revolutionary Army, people from different backgrounds and camps work together for the same goal and dream.There are also many awakened people who repented of their former sins.So what if they are pirates?"
Perona and Kumasi looked at each other.
"Huh?Huh?"
Luffy strikes while the iron is hot:
"Perona, you don't want to lose the promise you made to Moria to [live well], right?You can choose to leave now, but if you lose your shelter, you might be displaced forever and might encounter all kinds of dangers.
"However, if you join the revolutionary army, you will have strong backing.You can also learn from your predecessors in the revolutionary army and improve your strength rapidly.Even in the near future, your name "Mononoke Princess" will make youThe people of this sea are terrified when they talk about it.If Moria knew this, he would be relieved too!
Perona timidly asked Sabo:
"Um.I.can I really do this?"
Sabo nodded gently:
"Of course, the revolutionary army welcomes all knowledgeable people!"
Perona was so excited when she heard this that she clenched her fists.
"Me!I'm willing to join the revolutionary army!"
Luffy smiled inwardly: This is enough, everything will go smoothly.From now on, Betty will give encouragement buffs to friendly forces, and Perona will give depression debuffs to enemy forces.That scene, wow.
Weiwei raised her hand:
"Oh right!Luffy, I froze a strange wild boar before.It was yelling strange words, but it seemed to be in a weird state!"
"Wild boar?" Luffy's heart moved, and he thought of Lola in the original work: "Is it a wild boar who yells about wanting to get married?"
Although the role of Lola is almost gone now, you can still save her if you can.
Weiwei: "Huh?How did you know?"
Luffy's mouth twitched:
"It's okay now.That girl was also a victim of Moria's shadow being taken away.Let her go."
"Oh, okay!" Weiwei waved at the big block of ice thrown behind her to break the ice.
"Ouch, it's so cold!" After being unfrozen, Lola finally regained her appearance after her shadow returned to her body.She couldn't help but shiver.
Weiwei was surprised and said, "Wow!It really is a human!The wild boar has turned into a human."
After waking up, Laura looked at the many men present and suddenly shouted:
"Hey!You guys!"
"I'm Lola!"
"Please marry me!"
Even with Sabo's restraint, he couldn't help but choke up, his mouth twitching as he said:
"What's going on?"
Laura's words made the air suddenly quiet, and everyone's response to Laura was surprisingly consistent - of course it was a rejection!
Laura couldn't help but frown: "Again.I was rejected again!"
Luffy waved his hand:
"Okay, call yourself Lola!Now that Moria is dead, you're safe.Go home!"
"Thank you so much!"
Lola performed the ritual of getting up from her seat and then left on her own.
…
After this little farce, the purpose of the Terror Bark's voyage was fully achieved, and it was time to set off again.
