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

Chapter 128 Luo Ji, Unafraid of Seastone

"Aramaki has become a pirate!!!"

The eldest prince and Princess Takimi stared wide-eyed, a little flustered.

They were genuinely afraid that Huang Mu would return with the Luo Ji Pirates and wipe out the royal family.

"I knew I had to hand him over to the Navy!"

Brother Wang, you shouldn't have listened to Earl Xiongchuan; you've put us in a crisis.

Princess Tadami began to complain about her older brother, who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun.

If she were a man, she would have shouldered the heavy responsibility of the Kingdom of Taya.

Now, because of the retrial of the case of Aramu, Count Koch and the Grand Judge have been killed.

There is a possibility of unrest within the kingdom.

"Sister Wang, it seems that Huang Mu and those pirates have gone to deal with Earl Xiong Chuan."

No, I must quickly mobilize the army to rescue him!

The eldest prince panicked; he couldn't imagine the Kingdom of Taya without Earl Xiongchuan.

Without Count Yukawa's guidance, he wouldn't have been able to handle so many government affairs.

Moreover, without Earl Xiongchuan to quell the domestic situation, he feared that the court would truly descend into chaos.

The eldest prince directly ordered the royal army and the guards to rescue Earl Xiongchuan.

But they all seemed to have gone to the Earl's mansion and had no idea of ​​the true hiding place of the Xiong Chuan family.

···

Meanwhile, the Earl of Yukawa and his family were hiding in a secret underground chamber in the capital.

Seeing Aramaki on the broadcast screen, about to be scared away by the navy, they felt that the situation was already settled.

As a result, the Luo Ji Pirates suddenly appeared and even subdued Huang Mu, which immediately startled them into a panic.

Count Yuukawa didn't want Aramaki to become a naval admiral, but he wanted even less for Aramaki to become a member of a large pirate crew.

Moreover, the Luo Ji Pirates are known as the most evil pirate crew, often referred to as the Fifth Emperor.

If Huang Mu comes for revenge, how can they withstand it?

"Father, it seems they are coming for us!"

Incheon's legs trembled slightly; a single wild herdsman had already made them wary enough to hide.

Now, if another pirate crew like the Luo Ji Pirates were to appear, they would be even less capable of putting up a fight.

"Don't worry! As long as we hide here, no one can find us!"

"Once they leave, we can still continue our royal enterprise!"

Count Xiongchuan forced himself to calm down; no one knew they were hiding here manipulating everything.

Even royalty and other nobles would not be able to find them.

"Yes! The Navy has arrived, and the World Government is issuing a full-scale manhunt for the Luo Ji Pirates, so they dare not stay in the Taya Kingdom for too long!"

Yichuan sighed inwardly and said with a solemn expression, "I knew that taking action against Huangmu might lead to something terrible."

But he didn't expect to attract the attention of the Luo Ji Pirates.

However, given the World Government's current focus on the Luo Ji Pirates, they will definitely leave soon if the Luo Ji Pirates cannot find them in the short term.

Fu Chuan didn't speak, but his expression turned strange.

···

At this moment, on the Ark Proverb of the Flying Warship.

"There are so many beautiful young ladies here."

When Huang Mu saw so many beautiful women on the ship, his eyes lit up. However, remembering how he had been tricked by the princess and spent more than a year in prison, he immediately became much more obedient.

Moreover, these women seemed to have very close relationships with Luo Ji.

It seems I need to tone it down in the future.

"This is actually real gold!!"

Huang Mu ran to touch the golden statue of the Ark Maxim again, and was surprised once more.

"Hey, sir, I heard you're a Logia-type Devil Fruit user. Are your tree branches stronger than lightning and sand?"

Bonnie jumped onto the bear's shoulder and looked at the thick-lipped man with some curiosity.

"What branches? I am the forest. My forest power is a life source that can stand shoulder to shoulder with the ocean. I am the mighty nature."

Upon seeing the pink-haired little girl ask a question, Aramaki immediately began to boast arrogantly.

He is more tolerant and friendly towards any beautiful woman or little girl.

"So, you, who claim to be the source of life alongside the ocean, dare to jump into the ocean for a bath? Do you dare to play with sea stone?"

Bonnie narrowed her eyes and smiled at the arrogant old man.

"Little girl, do you know what a Devil Fruit user is? I am a user of the Devil Fruit, and I am cursed by the sea. I cannot swim in the sea, and I dare not touch seastone."

“I know, I’m an ability user too, but Captain Luo Ji isn’t afraid of the sea, he can even play with Seastone.”

"Are you impotent, Greyhound?"

Bonnie grinned and actually started mocking Aramaki, the new crew member.

"Is he not afraid of seawater?"

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!!"

Huang Mu didn't believe Bonnie's nonsense; he had never seen a power user who wasn't afraid of seawater.

"Do you dare to shake hands with the captain?"

Bonnie smiled mischievously and urged Huang Mu on.

"??"

Huang Mu looked at Luo Ji's hands strangely; they were adorned with some gray-black rings and bracelets. What was so unusual about them?

You can't exactly say it's sea stone.

He didn't believe it.

Because he had just seen Luo Ji use that scroll's ability.

Could it be that Luo Ji's hands possess some special ability?

"What? Want to give it a try?"

Luo Ji sensed Huang Mu's doubt and reached out to shake his hand.

"My hands are even scarier!"

Huang Mu laughed. If anyone were to come into contact with his Devouring Thorns, they would be sucked dry in no time.

Unconvinced, Huang Mu shook hands with the new captain.

The next moment, a feeling of powerlessness surged up.

"High-purity seastone!!!"

Huang Mu collapsed and knelt before Luo Ji, his right hand still clasped with Luo Ji's.

This new captain is actually wearing a bunch of high-purity sea stone rings and bracelets, that's just too outrageous.

Is Luo Ji not a Devil Fruit user?

"Hehe, no need for such formalities, let me give you a change of clothes."

Looking at Huang Mu's black and white striped prison uniform, Luo Ji tossed a gold coin that landed on Huang Mu's head.

With a 'bang'.

Huang Mu transformed into someone wearing a green cloak.

"He really is an ability user..."

As Luo Ji released his grip, Huang Mu gasped for breath, feeling extremely uncomfortable due to the powerlessness he felt from being restrained by the Sea Stone.

Knowing that Luo Ji actually possessed Seastone, I absolutely must never engage in close combat with this strange captain again.

Moreover, besides the scroll ability, Luo Ji also has the ability to change clothes.

However, this ability seems somewhat useless.

Luo Ji began by briefly introducing the crew members on the ship to Huang Mu.

"So many ability users?"

Aramaki's eyes widened in shock. Apart from Shirley, everyone else was an ability user.

Even if both pets are Mythical Beast-type ability users.

This is absolutely outrageous!

This giant bear is actually one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

It felt like I'd joined an incredible pirate crew.

But when he saw the bounty posters for Luo Ji, Yamato, and Da Xiong, his eyes widened again.

"4.05 billion Berries? Did you draw this bounty yourself?!"

Huang Mu simply couldn't believe that Captain Luo Ji could receive such a bounty; he had no sense of how dangerous Luo Ji was.

"You'll understand gradually. For now, let's find the mastermind behind your misdeeds."

Luo Ji shrugged. Believe it or not, it's up to him. Once Huang Mu has read more news and newspapers, he'll know what kind of pirate crew he's joined.
