One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 88: Water City

Upon hearing Luo Ji's instructions, Violet noted down this key point.

After all, everyone on the ship knew about Luo Ji's certain predictive abilities.

Luo Ji glanced at a rough map of the Grand Line.

Near Sky Island-Gaya Island is the G-8 Naval Branch. Further on are Water Seven and Long Ring Island, and further ahead are Alabasta and Little Garden.

"I think I've figured out how to give the world government a big surprise!"

Luo Ji grinned, "Let me recreate the storm of the sea, even more fiercely!"

Aren't the World Government and the Celestial Dragons searching for themselves?

Let's give them a big shock.

"Let's go! Let's make the world government feel sorry for us and panic!"

Luo Ji rummaged through the many permanent pointers and found the permanent pointer to the target island. He immediately controlled the Ark Proverb and flew in the direction of the pointer.

···

Just as the Luo Ji Pirates were about to reappear on the sea.

The World Government and the Navy Headquarters have been searching for the Luo Ji Pirates for over a month.

The entire navy was under immense pressure from the Celestial Dragons, leaving them somewhat overwhelmed.

But the Luo Ji Pirates seemed to have completely disappeared, without a trace.

Even the underground intelligence agents on various islands, as well as intelligence hunters and bounty hunters, could not find Luo Ji's whereabouts.

The Luo Ji Pirates seemed to have no need to land for supplies like food and water; they were nowhere to be seen.

This led some intelligence hunters to wonder if the Luo Ji Pirates had encountered a once-in-a-century extreme weather event and perished at sea.

Otherwise, how could they have gone more than a month without landing on a single island or resupplying?

This kind of intelligence reward is really hard to earn!

At the same time, many pirates believe that Luo Ji must be afraid of the Celestial Dragons' retaliation, which is why he has completely gone into hiding.

Grand Line: Water Seven (Part 1)

Many pirate ships, warships, and merchant ships come to this famous shipbuilding island for repairs or even to replace their ships with new ones.

This shipbuilding island is also a mixed bag of people.

Pirates, bounty hunters, and the Navy coexist.

A ship is the most important 'partner' on this sea.

Everyone tacitly agreed that they should not offend the island's boatmen.

Otherwise, those boatmen might leave some hidden dangers on your boat.

Then your voyage will have to end prematurely.

Inside the island's bars, a large group of pirates were discussing the latest news.

The hottest topic is definitely the discussion about the 40 billion bounty pirate Luo Ji.

The second big news is that Fire Fist Ace has become the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates.

As for the new Shichibukai who hasn't shown his face yet, there's not much to say.

Of course, the large-scale deployment of world governments and navies has also become a topic of much discussion and entertainment for many.

For many years, no one has angered the World Government as much as Luo Ji.

Even CP0 agents, who are rarely seen normally, have been encountered by many people recently.

I heard that the Celestial Dragons have sent out most of their CP agents this time, including CP0 agents from the Celestial Dragons' Shield.

A bartender with a hairstyle resembling bull horns wiped the glasses expressionlessly, seemingly uninterested in the discussion.

However, as a CP9 agent, even though his main task was to investigate the Pluto blueprints, he still had to keep an eye on information about the supervillain Luo Ji.

After all, the ultimate target of all the Navy and CP agents right now is Luo Ji, the most heinous criminal who killed a Celestial Dragon.

But today, like usual, it'll probably be all boring and useless information.

The Luo Ji Pirates have been missing for over a month, making them even harder to track than the Revolutionary Army.

However, given Water Seven's reputation for shipbuilding, there's still a chance they can attract the Luo Ji Pirates.

Suddenly, an extremely noisy commotion broke out outside the tavern, prompting a large number of customers to rush out to see what was going on.

"It's an airship!!"

"Oh no! Could it be the Flying Pirates?!"

"Hide! Shiki the Golden Lion is a legendary, ruthless, and brutal pirate!!"

···

The residents of Water 7 who had come to watch the spectacle quickly hid, while some pirates became excited, since Shiki the Golden Lion would occasionally recruit powerful pirate crews.

They felt they were quite capable and thought it might be worthwhile to recommend themselves.

Joining the Flying Pirates wouldn't be bad either.

"An airship? Shiki the Golden Lion?"

Bruno stepped out of the tavern, his gaze fixed solemnly on the airship in the sky.

Is it really Shiki the Golden Lion?

I wonder if this will pose a threat to the Hades design they are investigating.

"No, this doesn't quite resemble a flying warship controlled by the Float-Float Fruit's power."

Bruno, a veteran CP agent, quickly noticed that this airship was different; its dense propellers made it look like some kind of new type of high-tech warship.

As the airship descended, Bruno's pupils suddenly narrowed to pinpoints.

That flag!

It's the long-lost Luo Ji Pirates!!

The Luo Ji Pirates have actually acquired a flying warship!

After that, it will be even more difficult for world governments to capture them.

Bruno pondered for a moment. It seemed he had to seize this opportunity and find a way to destroy the airship.

He immediately returned to the tavern and reported the urgent news of the appearance of the Luo Ji Pirates to Rob Lucci of the Galleyra Company and Spandam on Enies Lobby.

However, Lucci, Kaku, and Kalifa, who were on Water Seven, also saw the flying warship appear!

"Hahaha!! Where's the best bar in Water Seven?!"

Luo Ji's voice echoed through the Seven Waters City amidst his violent aura, startling countless residents into turning pale.

"It's not Shiki the Golden Lion! It's Yama, the King of Hell!!"

"It's the legendary pirate Luo Ji, who has a bounty of four billion!"

Pirates and bounty hunters with all sorts of motives were caught between surprise and fear.

"What a powerful aura!"

Rob Lucci at Carrera looked grave; this seemed to have completely slipped out of his control.

"Looking for a bar? Luckily, it's not here to cause trouble."

However, this airship...

The mayor and president of Carrera Corporation, Iceberg, was covered in cold sweat. He only breathed a sigh of relief after hearing Luo Ji's shout.

As long as the Luo Ji Pirates don't try to steal the Pluton blueprints and don't destroy Water 7, everything will be fine.

Everything else is bearable.

Moreover, he was very interested in this airship.

If Water Seven were to acquire the method for manufacturing airships, it would have an opportunity for rapid rise to power.

It was no less magnificent than the creation of Pluto, the god of the underworld, nine hundred years ago.

A giant red dragon suddenly flew out from a scroll next to the airship, carrying the Luo Ji Pirates and landing in Water 7.

"It's a dragon!! It's a giant dragon! The Luo Ji Pirates are too powerful, they actually tamed a giant dragon!"

Countless residents and pirates panicked upon seeing the red fire dragon.

The red dragon hovered over Water Seven, exuding an aura of power.

Luo Ji, atop the dragon's back, unleashed his Observation Haki, quickly searching for the bar where Bruno was.

First, take down this Door-Door Fruit user, then steal the Pluton blueprints from Franky.

Let's use the Pluto blueprints as bait and catalyst to make the world boil!

A photocopy of the Hades design blueprints, exchanged for the heads of one of the Five Elders, two God Knights, or ten Celestial Dragons—that shouldn't be too much to ask, right?

The Four Emperors, Shiki, Crocodile... do you dare to make a move?
