Chapter 730 Finally meet
The same is true for Zoro's battles. In the original work, Zoro had always been fighting in the East China Sea with injuries. He never felt well and was always at low health. He also had no time to recuperate because the voyage in the East China Sea was too tight.
But now with the participation of a different Nami, Zoro was not injured by Buggy. The intact Zoro was naturally able to deal with the cat brothers with ease.
Even the cat brothers who had been hypnotized by Zangao were of no use. Although they became more ferocious, their bodies were no longer afraid of pain, and their potential was stimulated a little, but there was a limit to their fearlessness of pain. When the damage to the body reached the limit, the subconscious mind of the brain would intervene and directly cause the body to fall into a coma!
As for the increased potential and ferocity? Facing the black-turbaned Sauron, these are nothing. If the cat brothers really have great potential, they would not have remained unknown in the East China Sea for so many years. These potentials cannot be stimulated by themselves. They are only a little stronger than ordinary people. Facing truly talented strong people, they are useless.
Nami faced off against Zangao. Apart from his hypnosis, Zangao did not have much martial arts power. Facing the cunning Nami, his hypnosis did not work at all, and the ring knife used for hypnosis could not touch Nami at all. Then he was killed by a stick that Nami took out from somewhere!
Usopp was not standing by and watching. He was sniping at the Black Cat Pirates' minions with the slingshot in his hand. After Luffy and the other two killed the troublesome guy, they knocked down the remaining minions together. The Black Cat Pirates' conspiracy in West Rob Village completely failed!
In order to thank Luffy and his crew for saving their lives, Kaya gave them the Golden Merry designed by her servant Merry. Luffy and his crew were naturally overjoyed. Without a decent ship, they could not be called a regular pirate group, but just low-level pirates.
But Luffy is a poor loser. The boats he uses to go out to sea are all discarded by the villagers of Windmill Village. How can he afford to buy a boat? So now that someone is sponsoring him, he is naturally very happy. Luffy finally has a company to start his own business!
Usopp, who has always wanted to go to sea, also grew up in this battle. Pirates are not just two words he says every day, they really kill people and they will not hesitate even to massacre the entire island!
After seeing such pirates, Usopp knew that he could not protect the villagers if he stayed in the village. He had to go out to sea to train himself and make himself stronger, otherwise he would have no ability to protect the village and his beloved Kaya!
Usopp, who had made up his mind, was finally invited by Luffy to board the ship, and Kaya also made some kind of resolution after this experience.
Therefore, when sailing in the East China Sea, you must visit Xiluobu Village. Here you will find the angel investor Kaya and the genius sniper Usopp. This trip is a huge profit and can be said to be one of the most important gains in the East China Sea. No other place can give you such a good ship!
With the Golden Merry, the Straw Hat Pirates were officially established, but four people were still too few, and everyone had to take on multiple roles.
Nami is not only a navigator, but also a cook. Usopp is not only a sniper, but also a shipwright. Zoro is a swordsman fighter, as well as a helmsman, sailor and lookout. He is responsible for all the physical work.
Luffy is the captain, and he does what he can. As long as he doesn't cause trouble, he will be the biggest help to the pirate group!
Luffy also realized that there were not enough people on the ship, especially after Nami's several complaints, he knew that he had to find a professional chef to cook. Then the Golden Merry sailed towards Barati, the famous sea restaurant in the East China Sea. Some small stories happened during the voyage.
......
"Zoron!"
"Oh! They're here! Nami has grown up too!"
"Who is Nami? The orange-haired girl? Do you know her?"
Vic and Kuina were having dinner at the Barati restaurant on the sea. The two had lived in Shimotsuki Village for several days. After saying goodbye to Kosaburo and Koshiro, Vic brought Kuina to the Barati restaurant on the sea. He was not here to protect Luffy and his companions, but had other purposes. Of course, Luffy didn't need his protection now!
"Yes! When she was a child, her village was attacked by pirates. That's when I met her!"
"She was also a child? Haha!"
No one dining in the restaurant noticed the handsome man and beautiful woman who were chatting with each other. Even the waiters who were shuttling between the tables did not notice it. The famous Seven Warlords of the Sea seemed to be treated as air.
Even Heizu Sanzhi, who liked beautiful women, forgot about the two of them and poured red wine next to a naval officer's female companion, disrupting the naval officer's pretentious moment.
At this time, Vic and Kuina were both looking at the Sheep's Head Pirate Ship docked outside the restaurant, or more precisely, the several people standing on the deck of the Sheep's Head Pirate Ship!
Kuina glanced at the boy with green hair and three gold earrings for a few seconds, and then focused her attention on the young, beautiful, lively and lovely girl with short orange hair. The other person was as beautiful as her, and even younger and cuter, with a pure and flawless face!
And Victor just glanced at Nami's face for a few seconds before looking at Luffy. He did not interfere with Luffy's trip in the East China Sea, but he had interfered with Zoro and Nami many years ago.
But he didn't expect that fate was so magical that the original members of the Straw Hat Pirates were still gathered together. Is this the will of the world? As long as there is no deliberate intervention, these people with intertwined destinies will eventually come together?
Or maybe in the East China Sea, only these few people can finally come together? The same values attract each other? Their leading positions in their respective fields make them stand out and incompatible with others? Even if someone really intervenes, they can still come together in the end!
They are all top talents in certain fields. Only someone like Luffy can gather them together and take them under his command! No one else can suppress them. Sooner or later, they will gather around Luffy! So the theory of fate has some truth to it. Victor couldn't help but marvel at it!
A naval officer was dining with a beautiful woman in the restaurant, but his subordinates could only guard on the warship outside the restaurant. Now they saw a ship with a pirate flag approaching the restaurant. As navy officers, they would naturally not let it go, and they would go into battle even without the order of their superiors!
Just like in the original work, the naval battle started with a bombardment, and then Luffy used his fruit ability to try to bounce the shells back, but ended up blowing up a room in the restaurant due to a mistake, and even injured the owner of the room, Zeff.
Luffy is a kind man. Because he caused losses to the restaurant, at his own request, Zeff arranged for him to work in the restaurant to pay off his debts, while Zoro, Nami and the other two entered the restaurant to eat.
Zoro and Nami entered the restaurant, looked around, found an empty table and walked over. That table happened to be next to Vic and Kuina's table, but the two of them seemed not to know Vic and Kuina at all and just walked over and sat on the chairs.
It is understandable that Zoro didn't recognize her. After all, Kuina was still a young girl when she left Shimotsuki Village. Now ten years have passed, and no one can predict what changes she has undergone!
But the Vic that Nami met as a child was already an adult, and normally there wouldn’t be much change. But Nami just glanced at them as if they were strangers and ignored them!
