The Straw Hat Adventurers left Long Chain Island and continued their journey to Water City.

Usopp asked with some confusion:

"Luffy, you were interrupted by the sudden appearance of Smoker when you said you were going to Water City. Isn't Water City a holy place for sea craftsmen? Our Merry is obviously not damaged at all, why do we have to go to Water City?"

Luffy raised his eyebrows:

"Hehe, our Golden Merry is indeed not damaged at all, but when we arrive at Water City, Merry can have a comprehensive upgrade.

There are many skilled craftsmen in Water City, and they can also help us maintain the ship. Our Golden Merry will accompany us to the end of the world. !"

Merry showed a longing look:

"Big upgrade! Maintenance!"

Luffy touched Merry's head and continued:

"Besides, we went to Water City not just to upgrade Merry. The most important thing is to find an interesting shipwright to join!

I can be sure that we will definitely have unexpected gains in Water City!"

Usopp understood:

"Is that so! I'm really looking forward to our new crew members!"

Luffy heard this and raised his mouth, thinking that the guy and you now may find a common hobby, which is really exciting!

Golden Merry once again experienced a day and a night of sea voyage. The days of rushing were boring and they could only rest and move around on the ship.

Not far away, an uninhabited island could be seen in front.

"There is an island! Why don't we get off the ship and take a look!"

Vivi suggested.

Luffy's mind moved, and he nodded:

"Okay! Let's stay here for a while!"

The Merry was anchored in the harbor of an uninhabited island, and the Straw Hat Pirates once again stepped on solid land.

The island where they temporarily anchored was not big. Before going ashore, they used their observation Haki to sense it and found nothing unusual. It was another island with few people.

This uninhabited island was full of birdsong and flowers, and the climate was also very pleasant. After everyone discussed, they unanimously decided to find ingredients on this island, hold a bonfire party, and experience the romance of adventure.

Not long after, everyone returned from hunting. Chopper and Sanji checked together and found that no one had brought back poison, so they officially set up a bonfire and started grilling.

Many ingredients were cooked by Sanji, and soon the extremely rich food was processed. The meal with color, fragrance and taste made everyone praise Sanji's amazing cooking skills.

Just as the Straw Hat Pirates were sitting around the campfire, eating barbecue and singing, a lazy voice came from afar:

"Oh my, the aroma has spread far away. Seeing that you all are eating so deliciously, can I join you?"

A middle-aged man in a blue and white suit and an eye mask waved his hand and approached from a distance like a walk.

"My name is Kuzan. I was taking a nap on this island in the afternoon. Suddenly I smelled the aroma and came to take a look. You guys are really in a good mood. You are having a barbecue right here! I hope I didn't disturb you?"

Kuzan yawned lazily.

Luffy smiled when he heard the voice:

"Don't bother me. Of course, you can have some meat too!"

Kuzan didn't expect that the Straw Hat Luffy in front of him would be so familiar. He subconsciously took the skewers and sat on the ground to eat:

"Well, it's a rare delicacy! Straw Hat brother, you have a very good chef!"

Robin was so nervous that she was ready to fight, always on guard against the sudden attack of this middle-aged man.

Luffy smiled and patted Robin on the back, comforting her:

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Kuzan has no hostility."

Other partners also noticed Robin's loss of composure and comforted Robin.

"It's okay, even if he really does it, we are not afraid at all."

Zoro was drinking a little wine on the side.

Kuzan took in the whole scene:

"Oh my, it seems that Miss Robin has found her home."

Luffy laughed:

"That's right! Mr. Kuzan is really in a good mood. A dignified admiral of the navy actually skipped work and came out to fish."

"Sea... Admiral of the navy!"

Chopper and Vivi, who realized it later, opened their mouths in surprise.

"Don't worry! Admiral Kuzan has no hostility towards us."

Luffy continued to grill skewers and handed the fragrant skewers to everyone before continuing:

"If you have anything to say, let's talk about it after you have eaten and drunk enough! There is no rush."

Kuzan also showed a strange look when he heard this and scratched his head:

"Oh my, I was seen through! It's really scary, everyone. Should I say that you are full of confidence or really ignorant and fearless."

Luffy's mouth curled up:

"KuzanSir, please eat first! We all know your purpose, and we'll talk after we finish eating. Oh, by the way, remember to help clean up. "

Kuzan heard this and said helplessly:

"Well... that's fine. After all, I've owed you a favor."

Nami also covered her mouth when she saw this:

"Luffy can be so talkative in front of the admiral of the navy, and he is not panicked at all, not at all inferior!"

The Straw Hat Pirates and the Admiral of the Navy [Aokiji] ate and drank happily, and finally cleaned up.

Kuzan pulled his eye mask and patted the dust off his suit:

"Then, we should get to the point, right?"

Luffy:

"Well, Admiral Aokiji, you say!"

Kuzan said seriously:

"Straw Hat Adventure Group, you should also be very clear about Robin's identity, even so, do you still want to keep her by your side?

Robin is the orphan of O'Hara, wanted by the World Government and regarded as the "Devil's Child". Every group or organization she joined from childhood to adulthood has not had a good ending. "

Robin gritted her teeth and insisted behind him, trembling all over:

"It's not like that! I'm not..."

Luffy waved his hand:

"Of course it's not like that. General Aokiji, Robin has been displaced since childhood and has seen the warmth and coldness of the world. No one regards her as a companion, and Robin naturally never regards others as companions.

She has been wandering around and lonely, so naturally she will not regard any place as a "home"! "

Kuzan raised his eyebrows when he heard this:

"So what you mean is that now that Robin has joined your Straw Hat Adventure Group, she regards you as a "family"? "

Luffy smiled slightly and brought Robin, who was comforted by Nami and Vivi behind him, forward:

"Mr. Kuzan, if you want to know the answer, it's better for Robin to answer it herself. "

Robin faced the Admiral [Aokiji] with tears in her eyes:

"Yes! Admiral Aokiji, I am no longer alone, and no ordinary person in the world has it easy!

I am really lucky, my mother, my people, Mr. Sauro, and you! Without your company and love, I would not be here!"

Kuzan was slightly moved:

"Don't talk nonsense... I didn't help you at all...

It seems that you have really found your own place. Then I won't say much.

Ah, I didn't expect that the cowardly little girl has grown up to be so graceful now. "

Robin suddenly bowed to the admiral:

"Yes! Thanks to you."

Kuzan's face was a little bit overwhelmed, so he had to change the subject:

"Luffy, do you know that if you accept her, every step you take will be extremely difficult, and every step you take will be stopped by countless people. "

Zoro stretched his body:

"I said General Kuzan, I didn't expect you to... Forget it, I won't comment on your thoughts.

How could we not know about this, but do you think our captain would care about it?"

Luffy pressed the straw hat:

"When the enemy comes, we will fight him. When the water comes, we will block it with earth. When friends come, we have fine wine. When enemies come, we naturally have shotguns!"

Kuzan was silent for a long time after hearing this, and then continued:

"So, do you really have the confidence to face everything?"

Kuzan released the power of the general to the Straw Hat Pirates.

Luffy smiled and showed his signature smile:

"General Aokiji, do you think we have it? "

Luffy released his earth-shattering Conqueror Haki right after he finished speaking, followed by Zoro and Sanji who also released their Conqueror Haki.

All the Straw Hat Pirates instantly covered their fists with dark Armament Haki.

Zoro held down the scabbard, ready to draw his sword at any time, Armament Haki flowing through the blade.

Sanji also activated his fruit ability, his whole body was on fire, and he let out a cry that resounded through the sky.

Nami was surrounded by thunder, and the weather stick was already raised.

Usopp silently loaded the sniper rifle.

Kin was full of strong Haki, and his brass knuckles were already on.

Chopper roared, quickly became huge, and his whole body was full of light.

Robin also had a solemn expression, and petals flowed between her arms.

Vivi also quickly gathered the blizzard around her, as if she was facing a great enemy.
