Although Luffy was a simpleton,
He could still faintly sense a difference, but being clumsy, he didn't know how to express it.
It was like the argument about the "Pirate King" during the feast.
Even Luffy himself didn't understand why he suddenly became so fixated on the title of Pirate King.
He wanted to be the freest person in this sea.
Only the freest person could be the Pirate King.
And he, clinging to the title of Pirate King, was not free at that moment at all!
"How could I be like this?"
Luffy scratched his head.
He always felt like someone in his head was telling him that he had to become the Pirate King.
Sanji, puffing on a cigarette, said, "I've heard that Animal-type Devil Fruits harbor the will of their animal forms, and if one's mind is weak, it can interfere with the user's emotions."
"But you ate a Paramecia-type Fruit, didn't you?"
He was the third son of the Vinsmoke family, a genetically modified human.
His family naturally delved into knowledge related to Lineage Factors, so it was not surprising for him to know the secret information about Animal Fruits.
It was just that the Straw Hat Pirates had no Animal Fruit users, so he had never brought it up.
Sanji's eyebrows furrowed, unable to figure out the reason.
Luffy scratched his head and suddenly said, "I ate an Animal Fruit."
"What?!"
Sanji was stunned and asked, "Didn't you eat the Rubber Fruit?"
All this time, Luffy had displayed the characteristics of rubber, with stretchable limbs and a rubber body immune to blunt force attacks.
Now you're suddenly telling me you're an Animal-type Fruit user?
"That's right, the Game House told me."
On Luffy's Game House panel, the original name of the Rubber Fruit was marked.
Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Nika form.
Sanji's mouth twitched, and he grabbed Luffy by the collar, angrily saying, "Why didn't you say such important news earlier?"
"Is it important?"
Luffy looked innocent; he really hadn't realized this news was important.
In fact, the matter of Animal-type Fruits harboring wills and interfering with the user's emotions is very subtle, and very few people know about it.
Even those who do know are mostly skeptical.
Because there are many people who have eaten Animal-type Fruits, and their personalities vary greatly, making it impossible to prove by comparison.
Moreover,
Even among Animal-type Fruits, those capable of interfering with the user's emotions are very rare; most do not possess such a powerful will.
"I don't know."
Sanji released him dejectedly, sighing, "Now the most crucial thing is to rescue the moss-head and Nami, but Kaido's strength is obvious to us; we are no match for him."
"Just defeat Kaido!"
"Hey Luffy, didn't I tell you—"
Sanji looked up, about to scold his captain, who was acting foolish again, but suddenly stopped.
After meeting his gaze, he found Luffy's eyes to be very clear and particularly firm.
Luffy took a deep breath and said, "Leave the fight with Kaido to me."
As the protagonist of the Pirate World, even setting aside his fated Fruit, he was a top-tier individual in terms of combat awareness and talent.
Inside the Game House,
Fang Yi, who was observing the Straw Hat Pirates' situation, was slightly surprised: "Is it the belief in wanting to save his companions? He was temporarily unaffected by Nika's will."
Carefree Luffy only felt a lack of freedom, like being shackled.
But he hadn't noticed anything wrong.
It was the Adventurer's declaration and his companions' misunderstanding that made him subtly feel as if he was being controlled.
Nika's will also sensed this, so it became restless.
The fated Fruit carries an unchangeable destiny. If destiny is altered, the final outcome will also disappear.
Luffy was once the turning point of destiny in the Pirate World, so the consciousness of the Pirate World would never allow Luffy's reckless ideas.
"Nami left us a code, the Oycott Kingdom's crest. Kaido should be there!"
Luffy and Sanji arrived at the shore.
Where the going merry set sail, there was a mark left by Nami herself.
Kaido had noticed Nami's little action at the time, but he didn't stop her, or rather, disdained to stop her would be more appropriate.
If Luffy and Sanji really dared to follow, they would only die.
"Wait, we're partners, aren't we?"
Usopp ran over, panting, and said, "I want to go with you to save them too! I want to set sail too!"
"You'll die."
Luffy looked at Usopp with a serious expression.
Usopp's legs trembled slightly, but he gritted his teeth and said, "I am the great Captain Usopp! I've seen dragons bigger than the entire East Blue; I'm not afraid of Kaido at all!"
The Straw Hat Pirates exposed Kaya's butler, saving the entire village and himself.
Although he was timid, he didn't want to back down at a crucial moment.
He always had a feeling that if he backed down this time, he would never be able to become a great sea warrior!
"Okay, let's go together!"
Luffy's arm suddenly stretched, wrapping around Usopp's neck, and he and Sanji stumbled into the relatively spacious small boat.
Heading towards the Oycott Kingdom.
"Luffy, how do you plan to defeat Kaido?"
"It's a secret!"
Oycott Kingdom,
The largest central town was now occupied by Kaido, with the Beasts Pirates' flag hoisted.
Such reckless behavior would never be done by other Four Emperors crews.
Because the territory is too far, the Four Emperors of the New World cannot reach the four seas, and they will soon be besieged by the Marines. This kind of meaningless act, which only adds to the slaughter, is disdained by Shanks and Whitebeard, and Big Mom is because there is not enough profit.
However, Kaido would do this because, to him, the entire world should be destroyed, burning in blood and war.
Cruelty and brutality were his true nature.
Inside a temporarily constructed gladiatorial arena,
Surrounding it was a group of gladiators, including pirates in disheveled attire, Marines in tattered uniforms, and even civilians.
In the very center, back to back, were Zoro and Nami.
Both were covered in wounds, blood dripping down their arms, forming a red puddle on the ground.
"How is it?"
"We have two life recovery potions left. If this continues, we can only withstand one round of attacks!"
Zoro's mouth tasted of blood, and the mouth biting the sword hilt moved with difficulty.
Nami's lips curled into a bitter smile.
She had also reached her limit, having completely used up her reward points and having no extra life recovery potions.
"Kaido, didn't he intend for us to live?"
"The players captured later include a Ghost Blade and a Witch. We are not precious collectibles, and since we are unwilling to surrender, we will naturally be eliminated."
Nami was very clever and had long figured out Kaido's intentions.
Fortunately,
The other companions survived and were not all captured by Kaido.
Arlong was defeated by her, so he probably wouldn't dare to cause trouble for Cocoyasi Village again for a while. If possible, she hoped Luffy and Sanji could protect Cocoyasi Village for some time.
"Charge, kill them!"
Fierce shouts emerged.
To be valued by Kaido, the Governor of the Beasts Pirates, and promised a direct promotion to Headliner after killing the two, most people were willing to exert themselves for such a good assignment.
After all, a man's name is like a tree's shadow.
The Four Emperors who have appeared in the East Blue are none of them weak; Whitebeard and Shanks are both existences capable of resisting the Marines.
That is the strongest force in the Pirate World at this stage, with combat power surpassing the World Government.
Everyone could see the world on the verge of chaos,
Being able to join a major force was the fundamental way to save one's life.
