At the edge of the village, hidden between lush trees and sparkling river water, lies a boat dock.
The wooden structure of the dock is mottled due to the erosion of time, but it is still strong and reliable.
When they arrived at this area, the first thing they saw was the first proper capsized ship that Kaya and Merry had prepared for the Straw Hat Pirates!
"Wow! Is this our new ship? So cool!"
Luffy's eyes were filled with worries, and he couldn't wait to rush in.
The shining hull and smooth lines not far away made the capsized ship look like a pearl in the bay.
Cavendish pulled Luffy's neck, narrowed his eyes slightly, and a few drops of sweat appeared on his forehead: "This ship is really great."
"The people in the boat...are very scary!"
As soon as the words fell, a handsome young man who was three meters tall walked out of the cabin, surrounded by a group of outstanding men and women.
The leader was extremely handsome, with a tall and perfect physique, a skull earlobe hanging on his left ear, and a strong aura. He instantly became the focus of everyone's attention just by standing there casually.
If it wasn't Fang Yan, then who else could it be? "Luffy, Cavendish, and... Usopp."
Fang Yan on the boat looked down at everyone, his eyes finally focused on Usopp, and said leisurely, "You may not know that your father is one of the Four Emperors, the Red Hair Pirates cadre, and the world's top sniper Jesus."
"You two, father and son, look exactly the same!"
Usopp has slightly thick lips inherited from his father and black curly hair inherited from his mother. His most striking feature is naturally his long nose.
[If you lie, your nose will grow longer] This is the classic image of Pinocchio, and it also reflects his character.
Speaking of which…
In the world of One Piece, it seems that the basic underlying logical rule of "appearances are determined by the mind" is followed.
People's appearance is often directly linked to their character and personality.
Usopp's pupils shrank slightly, and he grasped the corner of his clothes nervously, stuttering nervously: "Mr. Fang...Mr. Fang Yan!"
"Hello!"
His father Jesus accepted the invitation of Red-haired Shanks to go to sea, leaving his mother and him, who had just been born, behind.
Fortunately, the great philanthropist Fang Yan helped this small family.
——The Fangyan Navigation Group hired his mother to prepare meals for the cafeteria of the Fifth Fleet of the Navigation Group. Although his mother seldom came back, she would often send back her salary, so that Usopp never lacked food and clothing since he was a child!
"No need to be so nervous."
Fang Yan said faintly, "Bellmeier, Nicole Olivia, and Vinsmoke Sora all work in various departments of the Fang Yan Navigation Group, and have received my intensive care many times."
"Their children are not like you. They stutter when they see me."
Innocent Usopp scratched his head and grinned.
Cavendish stared at Fang Yan, with a look of surprise and joy on his face. He seemed a little uneasy, muttering to himself, "The key to becoming a big star is in his hands! As long as I can get the recognition of this man..."
Fang Yan, however, was more concerned about Luffy, who was wearing a straw hat and looked silly.
"A familiar hat - this thing was passed down from Pirate King Roger to Red Hair Shanks. Now he has passed it down to you. Do you know what this means?"
In response to his question, Luffy decisively replied, "I don't know."
"But the boat under your feet belongs to me!"
Judging from his actions, Luffy has always been a staunch supporter of the principle of Ohm's razor.
He is often able to quickly realize the core problem and move forward resolutely in the direction he has identified.
Smashing all obstacles with two fists - this is the advantage of single-celled organisms.
Luffy has always been a giant in action.
His courageous declaration of possession made Fang Yan's lips curl up, outlining a meaningful smile: "Oh?"
"From a legal perspective, Ms. Kaya's family has owed the Fangyan Navigation Group 50 million Baileys for three years. The default period has already passed today last month."
"Considering the financial difficulties of this lady's family, I generously waived all interest - you can go ask her, the 50 million Baileys is the principal."
"It is reasonable to use this ship to offset the debt."
At this point, Fang Yan raised his index finger and changed the subject, "From a strength perspective, I only need one finger to kill all the people in your pirate group."
"I am so powerful that I can deprive you of all your freedoms at will - you are just too weak."
In the early days of One Piece, Luffy had a kind of heroic spirit of being wise yet appearing foolish.
He could fall asleep after hearing any touching story, and if his companions were in trouble, he would not ask the reason, but only where the enemy was.
In the later period, Luffy was left with only stupidity and self-righteous stubbornness, which gave Fang Yan the feeling that "for his own pleasure, he doesn't mind killing his friends."
When he arrived in Wano Country, he even burst into tears after listening to the story of Kozuki Oden - he had degenerated extremely seriously! To be honest, the so-called Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Beast Species, Nika Form, in Fang Yan's opinion, is essentially an upgraded version of the Smile Fruit.
It seems to have a huge origin, it may be the destined fruit of the Liberator Joyboy and the Sun God Nika, but in fact it is a pure shock wave that penetrates the center of the earth.
What Fang Yan would be more happy to witness is that Luffy, as a true user of the Rubber Fruit ability, overcomes all difficulties and obstacles and ascends to the throne of the Pirate King.
Let the inconspicuous fruits be glorious in themselves!
Rather than becoming a puppet of the perfect fruit! Fang Yan in any world always follows the principle of "people-oriented"! ——Speaking of which, the more you read the original plot of One Piece, the more you can clearly perceive the despair and pessimism in it.
To put it bluntly, in the original novel, Luffy's development of the Nika Fruit, from the second gear to the awakening of the fifth gear, requires overdrawing his lifespan, which is a way of drinking poison to quench thirst.
A [real name of the fruit] negated all of Luffy's efforts and made his struggle a joke.
What's even more tragic is that Fang Yan even has reason to conclude that even the [Surgery Fruit] of the Death Surgeon Law was "prepared in advance" for Luffy, whose life is about to end.
The once immature but heroic Zoro has become Oden's mature sword holder.
Luffy became a puppet of the Nika Fruit and couldn't help laughing when he shouldn't.
Mr. Prince Sanji, who was once down and out but could not hide his composure, perfectly transformed himself into an old farmer tilling the fields after putting on a kimono. He lost all his noble airs and was even inferior to the stupid son of a landlord.
Fang Yan’s evaluation was that it had a kind of beauty as if everyone was possessed by another spirit.
While laughing, he couldn't help but sigh...
Although this great route is a stagnant pool, it has once been turbulent.
Of course~ With Fang Yan's personality...
If there is any future that he doesn't like, he will not hesitate at all and will take action immediately to nip it in the bud.
"Like now."
Fang Yan hooked his fingers, and Luffy's body floated in the air. No matter how hard he struggled, he could not regain his freedom. "I want to take away your [Human-Human Fruit·Mythical Beast·Sun God Nika Form] and conduct demon technology experiments - you can only be controlled by me and obey my will!"
(There is one more~)
