Brownbeard said this, his eyes filled with longing and respect.
"Later, Master Orochimaru came a few more times.
Not only did he bring medicine that could treat neurotoxins, healing many of our brothers,
but he also brought cloning technology and so on.
Each time, the owner would offer experimental equipment as thanks.
But because Master Orochimaru was probably busy, he hasn't been back for over a year."
At this point, Brownbeard's tone was a bit dejected.
The group of people listened, their mouths twitching.
Alright, they understood. Punk Hazard.
Orochimaru's free self-service experimental equipment retrieval base.
It's likely that the owner couldn't produce anything new later on, so Orochimaru stopped coming.
In fact, as Orochimaru and Doflamingo's relationship deepened, the things Orochimaru brought to Doffy became more enticing, and Caesar was gradually marginalized.
Subsequent new equipment was all bought by Doffy; there was no need to scavenge for used items.
Brownbeard continued to talk about the situation here.
"If Vegapunk, who took our Companions' legs, is a devil, then the owner is a kind-hearted savior!
And Master Orochimaru is our Angel!
Then, a few months ago, the third savior, Trafalgar, who obtained the Shichibukai title, arrived on the island.
After all, Master Orochimaru's cloned limbs take some time, and facing us who couldn't walk freely,
Law used his ability to give us legs—the legs of living animals.
This made us, who couldn't walk before, overjoyed to the point of tears."
Ignoring Orochimaru's words... this really is a good story.
Meanwhile, Smoker, in Tashigi's body, was telling the Marine soldiers the truth.
It turns out that the person who destroyed this island was not Vegapunk, but Caesar. Caesar was the second-in-command in the research team at the time.
However, his ideas were inhumane and he always opposed Vegapunk.
Moreover, developing poison gas weapons solely for killing was a crime.
Due to an accident, the weapon development was exposed, and Caesar was arrested for a time.
But his abilities were tricky, and he escaped from the prison ship.
Since then, he had disappeared without a trace.
But... what does this have to do with Orochimaru?
Orochimaru, passing by the roof, shrugged, looking down at Tashigi-Smoker... Orochimaru had no interest at all and disappeared silently. Orochimaru did not intend to appear in the sight of this group of people.
After all, explaining it would be troublesome. Anyway, when they reached Dressrosa, with Doffy's style, everyone who needed to know would know.
Passing by Law, who was secretly discussing Caesar, he also conveniently stole Monet's heart from Caesar... It was fine if he got caught himself, but he shouldn't implicate Monet; this little assistant was still very useful.
Orochimaru strolled around here and there, also secretly observing the Straw Hat's progress when he had time.
Orochimaru instantly felt so busy.
He always felt like he forgot something, but couldn't remember, so it probably wasn't important.
On the other side, Luffy had already met Law and heard Law's proposal for the Straw Hat to form an alliance to defeat a Four Emperors.
Under the strong winds and blizzards, Luffy looked at Law with a serious expression.
"Which Four Emperors are you talking about?"
(Franky) Nami was a little flustered, "Hey... Luffy... we can't trust this guy!"
Law looked at the serious Luffy and said the name.
"His name is... the de facto ruler of Wano Country, Kaido of the Beasts."
Luffy was silent for a moment, thinking of something, then looked up at Law with a bright smile.
"Is that so... Let's do it."
When Luffy and his Crewmates reunited, (Franky) Nami announced Luffy's decision, and Usopp and the others couldn't help but shriek.
"Eh!! An alliance with the Heart Pirate Crew!"
Usopp grabbed Luffy's collar and roared,
"You were only going to get Nami back! How did things get so out of hand?!
If we team up with this terrifying guy of unknown origin! I won't be able to sleep at night!
And I remember this guy seemed to have some impure designs on Orochimaru!!!"
Law stumbled a bit, "Hasn't it been two years? Don't remember these things so clearly! It was all a misunderstanding back then!!!"
(Franky) Nami also tried to persuade him earnestly.
"Look, Luffy, everyone objects, right~ Give up~ Don't agree to such a dangerous proposal~ We have our own sailing rhythm~"
(Sanji) Chopper also tried to persuade Luffy.
"That's right, besides, it's too early to target a Four Emperors now, it's impossible to win.
Have you asked Orochimaru? He won't agree. He won't let you do something with such a high level of risk.
Who knows what he'll do then."
Luffy looked at the group indifferently.
"Orochimaru won't let this one thing go; he'll tell you later."
Robin looked at the determined Luffy, her expression grave: "Luffy, I will follow your decision, but pirate alliances often come with the risk of betrayal."
Luffy turned to gaze at Law: "Will you betray us?"
Law looked straight ahead: "No."
Usopp made a shark face and bared his teeth at Luffy.
"At least show some suspicion, hey!"
Luffy crossed his arms over his chest, a triumphant smile on his face. ٩(ˊᗜˋ*)و✧*
"All in all, a pirate alliance is interesting, isn't it?
I think Trafalgar is a good person, and we've somewhat trained together as fellow disciples.
And even if he's not a good person, it doesn't matter.
Because I have you all, who have trained for two years, by my side.
Hahahaha."
Everyone first looked at Luffy in astonishment, then, as if infused with endless vitality, they all became fired up. (ง⁼̴̀ω⁼̴́)ง⁼³₌₃
(Franky) Nami looked shy, covering her cheeks with her huge mechanical hand. O(¤̴̶̤́‧̫̮¤̴̶̤̀)O
"Luffy, you! Oh, you're so annoying~ Really, you make me so embarrassed when you say things like that."
(Chopper) Franky also smiled brightly, but Franky's smile combined with Chopper's face was particularly eerie. (;ຶཽළຶཽ)
"That's right, we're super reliable."
~ (˵¯̴͒ꇴ¯̴͒˵) ~ (Sanji) Chopper danced a hula skirt excitedly, with an uncontrollable smile on his face.
"We just did what we were supposed to do, we're not happy at all, you idiot."
Usopp patted his chest and looked at the sky. ୧(๑=̴̀⌄=̴́๑)૭✧
"Yosh, Luffy, just leave it to us~ If Zoro and the others get scared! I'll go convince them!"
Luffy looked at the group with a bright smile.
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Law gazed at this group of people, their absurd movements and behavior patterns, and beads of sweat involuntarily appeared on his forehead. (=̴̶̤̄.̮=̴̶̤̄;)
Master Orochimaru's Crewmates shouldn't be so unreliable... right?
If everyone could hear Law's thoughts,
they would definitely shout at him,
Don't have such a thick filter for Orochimaru!!
He only chooses between screwing you over and screwing you over severely!
Don't be fooled by that cunning snake's appearance!
Wake up, Law-san!
