Onmyoji of the Grand Line

In a panic, a pair of enormous pincers appeared before them.

Snapped--

The red pincers easily split the small boat in two.

This is a huge crab, more than ten meters long.

"God—"

He hadn't expected that his shout would attract a giant crab, and he couldn't help but let out a scream.

The giant crab emerged from the seawater. Its two enormous eyes bulged, and it brandished its terrifying pincers, measuring the distance between itself and its prey.

pop- pop-

The two pincers attacked alternately, one on the left and one on the right. He dodged desperately. However, just as he was dodging left and right, the small boat suddenly shattered into pieces—

Snapped--

"It's so cold, so cold..."

Finally, he could no longer hold on, lost his balance, and fell into the sea with a splash.

Joe had torn the small boat to pieces, the wreckage floating in the sea. Now, his fate was like that wreckage, to be cut into edible pieces by a giant pincer and stuffed into the belly of this behemoth.

"If I'm torn to pieces, then I won't become a laughingstock!"

He paddled furiously. But no matter how hard he swam, he was like a swimming duck. Just when the giant crab was at its wit's end—

Wow!

Gunfire rang out.

"Ah—" A scream rang out.

He managed to avoid drowning by clinging to the wreckage of the small boat.

He spat out water and lifted his face. Cold—for a moment, he was stunned.

The giant crab opened its gaping maw. He panicked and tried to run away, but upon closer inspection, he found that the crab looked very strange—it was foaming at the mouth and its legs were twitching.

"Hey, hey..."

Suddenly, someone lifted him up.

"Ah! There's a creature with a very strange nose—"

"Hey, you're talking nonsense!"

He roared when he heard people mocking his enormous red nose. Just then, someone grabbed him by the collar like a kitten, and he turned around, furious. Perhaps it was because his nose was so ugly, but who could be scared by his body, which was the size of two heads?!

"What? Isn't that a skeleton? Bucky, the clown?"

The smell of gunpowder filled the air.

This is a woman sitting in a small boat, holding a smoking flintlock pistol in her right hand. When she sees the words "Clown Skull" on the captain's hat, she speaks in a seductive voice.

The man called Bucky looked at the crab again. It was foaming at the mouth, unconscious, and sinking into the sea. The bullet had hit it squarely in the eye, a vital spot for this kind of crab.

To be able to fire a fatal shot on a swaying boat requires exceptional marksmanship.

"A bounty of fifteen million Berries! The infamous clown Bucky can make such an adorable sound!"

"Hmph..." Luffy snorted coldly.

Where is your torso?

"Who are you? You filthy woman, don't tell me you're a bounty hunter!"

Bucky, with two heads, let out a cry of surprise.

"What? Ha! Are you kidding me!"

“Huh?” Angell was taken aback.

"I'm sorry, I can't send your head to the Navy to claim the bounty. Well, I'm wanted too..."

The woman put away her pistol and said to Bucky.

Beneath the wide brim of her hat, her curly black hair cascaded down. She wore a long black coat over a crop top, knee-length trousers, and sandals.

She exudes a dangerous aura.

"Hey, Bucky, I heard your pirate crew was wiped out?"

"Hmph!" Luffy snorted coldly.

"I heard that back on the sandbar, only one kid beat you to a pulp—"

"Shut up! Because the backup Kunna—3717—2911 is because—"

Bach's voice trembled as he spoke of his humiliation.

In this "age of pirates," rumors spread quickly.

The thought of this made Bach furious.

720 "Hehe, I'm not in the mood for jokes. Me neither—"

The woman spoke, perhaps trying to comfort Bucky.

"The same?" Li Tianming was taken aback.

"That brat, me too..."

The woman stroked her cheek seductively.

"That rubber-faced kid is wearing a straw hat?"

"Yes, that's the rubber man who ate the Devil Fruit!"

Just then, a huge pirate ship appeared before them. On the mast at the bow, a pirate flag fluttered in the wind, with a heart-shaped skull embedded on it.

"That is……"

"How about we join forces?"

The woman said.

"With you..." Lin Mengya's voice trembled slightly.

"Let me give you a heads-up. The most important thing right now is to bring you some cheap wine and food!"

The woman pressed her finger on Bucky's round nose.

In short, all Bucky wanted right now was a hot meal, because he couldn't remember how many days he hadn't eaten.

The sky is blue, the sea is blue.

Chapter 343: Fighting Alone!

On the clear East China Sea, a ship sails. This medium-sized sailboat is named "Caravel." It is one of the older models of this type of sailboat, but its overall design is still quite good.

The boat sailed with the wind.

This was a very pleasant voyage.

A humming voice came from the stern of the boat.

Soap bubbles floated and burst gently in the steam. Two long, slender legs swayed back and forth in the small bathtub. Shower water splashed onto the tiled floor and flowed out of the drain.

"Ah—" A scream rang out.

The beautiful girl felt as if she had transformed into a fish. She took a deep breath, enjoying the wonderful bath.

Her name is Nami.

In the past, bathing at sea was something you wouldn't even dare to dream of. Anyone who dared to waste precious fresh water would probably be beaten to a pulp and thrown into the sea. Originally, there were no bathtubs on the ship.

But recently, crew members no longer worry about ensuring a supply of fresh water. This is because most ships are equipped with a new invention – seawater filters. While its convenience can't be overstated, surely no one would object to a girl staying clean during a voyage?

"Perhaps only in the East Blue can one enjoy such a blissful bath," Nami murmured, burying her chin in the foam, her expression complex. The destination of this voyage was the world's most dangerous "Grand Line," also known as the "Demon Sea." This was an adventure where survival was not guaranteed. She was determined to conquer this "Grand Line."

"I wonder how the people of Cocoyasi are doing... 〃..."

Nami was lost in thoughts of home.

The memory was unlocked.

Not long ago, Nami was a professional pirate, roaming the East Blue. Due to the nature of her work, she sometimes couldn't go home for months at a time. Therefore, long voyages were nothing to Nami.

Nami rubbed her left shoulder.

There was a tattoo faintly visible inside the bubble. It was an S-shaped English letter that looked like a windmill, along with an orange symbol. For Nami, this tattoo symbolized her memories of her hometown and family.

If you look closely, you can see a large scar beneath the tattoo on her shoulder. This scar appears to be from a burn, as the old tattoo was punctured, and a new tattoo appeared on top of it.

This is Nami's heavy past.

—It's worth mentioning her past here.

When Nami was ten years old, her pirate crew was already the strongest in the East Blue.
