Onmyoji of the Grand Line

Queen Hani suddenly stood up; what a figure she had!

"What? Trying to run away? If you don't want to play anymore, pay off your losses before you leave. If you don't have the money, you can use something else to pay the bill."

Nami, who had been winning consistently, also changed her tone. She seemed to be doing quite well.

"I want to use my body!"

Queen Hani took off her coat. Her next move was self-evident.

Nami was so shocked she couldn't speak.

"I will pay your companion."

Queen Hani turned and looked at Nami. Just then, Queen Hani suddenly bent over, and the color of her body began to change. Her idealized body began to collapse, turning into a pile of humanoid liquid; this person was now probably only known by a name.

Suddenly, the pool of liquid began to freely change shape. It coiled into a long, thin snake and slid down the microphone. It vanished in a flash.

"This woman...could she be..."

Nami began to waver.

That's right, this woman is a Devil Fruit user.

You should know about Devil Fruits, right?

This is the ocean's treasure, worth 100 million.

Devil Fruits are treasures from the ocean's riches. If we calculate based on current prices, this fruit is worth at least 100 million Berries.

Devil Fruits look somewhat different from ordinary fruits, but the real reason they're called Devil Fruits is only revealed after eating them. Those who eat a Devil Fruit gain a magical power, and are thus known as Devil Fruit users.

Luffy once ate a Devil Fruit called the "Gum-Gum Fruit".

There are many types of Devil Fruits, which can grant all sorts of abilities...

However, Devil Fruits also have a drawback: they are the embodiment of sea demons. Legend has it that those who eat Devil Fruits are essentially descendants of demons, forever hated by the sea and forever unable to surface. That's why Luffy became a pirate who can swim.

The barrier used to seal off the spiral staircase exit exploded. After a cloud of dust, a pair of slippers appeared before everyone.

"It's finally over."

That was Sanji's voice. Immediately after, Zoro and the others appeared. He had climbed countless steps. Everyone was exhausted.

"what--"

No! There's still one person who's quite energetic.

"Wow, that's so high!" Everyone was shocked.

This person was none other than Luffy. Stepping out of the stairwell, Luffy looked around and cheered.

This is a floating island in a sea of ​​clouds!

Between a vast atrium and a spherical ocean, floats a clockwork island. He experienced once again just how high he had climbed. A blue upper body, a blue lower body. He couldn't tell which side was sea and which was sky.

"You (backup group 2, group 89, look at 3964, road 0.5460) fly!"

Usopp called out to Luffy. Luffy turned around.

"Wow! What is this?! It's so much fun!"

A hint of curiosity flashed in Luffy's eyes.

Without imagination, it's hard to imagine what Clockwork Island would look like. The umbrella-shaped roof atop the tower is an inverted bowl. A spiral staircase leads to the other end of the bowl. Below lies a city.

"The Clockwork Tower! It's the Poker City on the mountaintop!"

"I understand," said Polod. The once towering city walls now appeared incredibly small.

Chapter 287: The Island of Happiness!

This shows how far this place is from the other end.

"The Diamond Clock is right there."

Akis shouted excitedly.

"Yes! The Diamond Clock is located on the highest floor of the city. And look at the rooftops over there."

Luffy looked in the direction he was pointing, but couldn't see anything. Usopp glanced at it through his sniper scope. Then Usopp let out a gasp.

"The Golden Maritime Museum. Yes! The roof."

Due to the angle, the ship's hull was obscured by the city walls, with only the pirate-signed sails hidden by a straw hat. That was the Going Merry. Absolutely no mistake.

“You seem to know that there are often ships there... and you seem to be very familiar with this island!”

Zorro demanded, "What does this mean?"

"Yes! Didn't I tell you? For thieves, investigation is extremely important. Belkin built a pool on the roof of the castle to collect pirate ships. It looks very elegant!"

"Sanji! Are you hurt?"

Just then, Usopp suddenly noticed something strange about his 22 companions.

"What happened?"

Sanji said, forcing a smile. His foot was actually badly injured. To be able to kick and shatter so many rocks barefoot, one could imagine how much pain Sanji had endured.

No matter how severe the injury to his foot was, Sanji, who disliked failure, continued to move forward.

"Damn it! Let's go!"

"Alright! Let's go!"

Luffy and the others followed Sanji into the city.

"Wow! I finally came here for Poker City."

Polod looked on with anticipation.

"Let's eat!" Luffy said calmly.

Luffy looked around.

"Change your clothes!" Luffy said calmly.

The other three answered without hesitation.

The clockwork tower was built on a hill at the foot of the mountain.

Therefore, there are many uphill and downhill sections here. Luffy and his crew have been to many oceans and many cities.

"This place is like a completely isolated country."

Sanji nodded in agreement. The town beneath the clockwork tower was like a beautiful painting. The entire city was constructed from clockwork spirals. Pillars and walls stretched as far as the eye could see. However, living here offered no freedom whatsoever.

"Hey, hey, hey! You guys look like you're really enjoying yourselves, but we don't have that much time."

"I understand," Polod reminded him. These pirates seemed completely unconcerned about what they were doing.

This is a foreign goods store that sells all kinds of clothes.

"Didn't you say your companion was kidnapped? Aren't you worried at all? Didn't you have a hard time getting in here?"

"Didn't you have a hard time getting in?"

Archis repeated Polod's words.

"Don't worry. Now that Nami's here, she'll definitely take good care of herself. That guy won't just be a hostage and let himself be slaughtered."

"Usopp came out of a nearby shop and said."

"This will make it much easier for us to move around."

After taking off his kimono, Zorro changed into a different outfit, looking like a thug from the entertainment district. The terrifying aura remained, but he looked completely satisfied.

As for Sanji, there are clothes that fit him here. Although, given his height, finding a pair of pants that fit him won't be easy.

"Oh dear!" Luffy?

Usopp looked around but couldn't find Luffy. The captain was wearing clothes that looked like they were for a child.

"Hey! Luffy! Don't dress so childishly!"

Then, Zorro and Usopp came out of the store.

A person suddenly appeared in front of Polod.

An old woman stood in front of Polod, holding a receipt in her hand.

"Oh dear! That's too expensive!"

"I beg you!"

The slow-moving old lady, like a wound-up toy, showed no intention of moving aside.

Polod looked at his wallet and almost cried.

"Hey, Luffy, what are you doing here?" What's going on? How did you end up here?
