Building a Pirate Group: The Crew is the Villain of All Worlds.

Chapter 235 Maple: "Captain, will anyone else board our ship?"

Long's face was full of confusion, his eyes were full of puzzlement, and he stared at him straight.

However, Koshiro stretched out his hand and pointed his finger firmly in one direction.

Long looked in the direction of his finger, and for a moment, he was stunned. His body, which had been ready to move, stopped, as if he had given up the idea of ​​attacking.

Just when the Straw Hat Pirates were in a critical moment of life and death!

Suddenly, a breath as hot as flames swept over, and both they and Smod could clearly feel the presence of this heat source.

The Straw Hat Pirates members hurriedly turned their heads again and looked upwards, and Smoker also cast his gaze towards the same place.

Because they knew exactly where the source of the heat was.

However, when they saw the source of the heat, everyone was stunned, especially Smoker.

I saw a blazing flame gushing out like a volcanic eruption, and it hit Smoker directly with great momentum.

"Ahhhh!"

Pure energy attacks are difficult to resist even for those who can transform into elements.

What's more, this is not an ordinary flame, but a spiritual fire from a divine beast, which contains endless power.

Before Smoker could react, he was hit by a sudden column of fire. His body flew out like a kite with its string cut off, and slammed into a solid building. Instantly, his face was covered with a painful expression, and blood gushed out of his mouth, staining the surrounding ground red. Then, he closed his eyes and passed out.

Seeing this, the surrounding marines panicked. They rushed forward and tried to rescue Smoker. Some lifted his body, while others called for medical assistance. The scene was in chaos.

At the same time, Luffy and his crew returned to the Merry with confusion on their faces, wondering in their hearts: What happened? Who rescued them?

"Look over there!" Kaya and Nami pointed up at the sky in surprise, their eyes full of disbelief.

Everyone looked up after hearing this. Soon, Sanji and Usopp's eyes were also drawn to him, especially Sanji, whose expression seemed to freeze in extreme shock.

I saw a woman standing in the air. Her red hair was bright and sexy with a few strands of gold. She was beautiful and elegant, and at the same time exuded a hint of nobility.

Of course, this is not the most eye-catching thing. A pair of bright red and gold wings grew behind the woman, and the burning flames helped her soar in the air.

There were also a few exceptionally bright red tail feathers floating in the air, also burning with brilliant flames.

This beauty is like a burning fire elf, her whole body tightly wrapped in bright red and golden feathers, and her hands and feet transformed into sharp golden claws.

She is like a goddess of war who has been reborn from fire, beautiful and majestic.

However, the problem is that except for Zoro, Kuina and Luffy, the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates have already recognized this woman.

Sanji's face was as stiff as a sculpture, his mouth was so open in shock that it seemed as if an ostrich egg could be stuffed in it.

His emotions even surpassed his usual infatuated state, as if he had seen the most incredible thing in the world.

You know, the only thing that can wake Sanji up from his infatuation is probably the ridicule of his good brother Zoro.

"This is an animal-type devil fruit user, and an extremely rare mythical beast." Kuina's words were like a bombshell, causing a storm in everyone's hearts.

Luffy's eyes widened like bells, his mouth opened into a big "O" shape, and he exclaimed: "Wow, it looks much more powerful than my rubber fruit!" His expression immediately attracted a round of eye rolls from others.

At this time, no one noticed his reaction except Sanji who was still in shock.

They were really speechless when they heard what Luffy said. Isn't this just nonsense?

Aren’t the two main weaknesses of the Rubber Fruit the burning of flames and slashing?

The Carmen in front of him not only has a blazing flame, but the power and high temperature of his burning should not be underestimated. Smoker, who is already lying on the ground over there, is the best proof of this.

Looking at the sharp bird claws, it can undoubtedly easily deliver a fierce attack.

"Well, she's coming down." Usopp said with a hint of timidity in his voice.

Everyone and Sanji, who had calmed down after hearing this, found that Carmen was flying towards them.

"Hey, who is she? You seem to know her." Zoro asked Usopp beside him while getting into a fighting stance.

"She is..." Nami immediately recounted what had happened before.

Then Zoro and the other two were stunned. Are you sure you are not kidding us? You call her a chef. Can a chef have such strong fighting power?

Oh, Sanji is one, and one of those who set off earlier than them is the Fallen Pirates’ chef Alan.

Suzaku was quite fast, and Carmen soon arrived on the Merry, with her feet transformed into bird claws and landing on the deck.

Carmen folded up her wings and tail feathers behind her, and at the same time retracted the flames.

Seeing the Straw Hat Pirates with serious faces, ready to face the battle at any time, even Sanji is not being infatuated with them, and Nami and Usopp also stand up bravely.

Carmen immediately nodded with satisfaction. They were indeed a team recognized by Eren and the Fallen Pirates. If they went to the New World and really got together with such a group of companions, it would look really good because these people were indeed very reliable.

Besides, when we are on the same boat in the future, I can compete with Sanji. Hehe, I am smart.

Of course, Carmen was also grateful, she had not forgotten Alan's life-saving grace and the opportunity he had given her.

"Hey, why are you helping us? And why are you on our ship now?"

Nami held the stick in one hand and asked after she couldn't help herself.

The other members of the Straw Hat Pirates also looked at Carmen inquiringly.

"From here, we will officially enter the Grand Voyage. I know you, the Straw Hat Pirates. Although your dreams are different, you grew up differently than other kids. You are an adventure group, and freedom and adventure are your themes."

"Let me be frank. I want to take a ride with you. If possible, can you let me be your partner?"

"what."

"What did you say? You want to get on the boat."

Everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates was stunned when they heard this. After all this time, it turned out that this girl was here to get on the ship.

Then, can the act of burning Smoker away just now be considered as an initial performance, a sign of goodwill?

But suddenly, Kaya and Kuina found something wrong. They looked at each other and blinked their beautiful little eyes.

The recipe for Carmen in front of me looks so familiar.

Both were given power by Kuruda.

Originally, Kaya, who was supposed to stay in the East China Sea, obtained the Mingming Fruit. After eating it, her body was strengthened, allowing her to pursue exciting sea adventures and her dream of becoming a doctor.

Kuina, who had been dead for many years, was resurrected and gained the power of Shadow Assassin Seven and the Demonic Sword Thousand Blades. She aimed to become the world's greatest female swordsman, and also to repay a favor, so she joined the Straw Hat Pirates, and her good friend Zoro was also here.

Because of their similar situations, Kuina and Kaya actually have a very good relationship. After all, they have common experiences.

Then why did Carmen look so familiar to them when they looked at her now?

Could it be that... the two girls immediately thought of a possibility, that the Carmen in front of them might be a fellow traveler.

"Was it the Fallen Pirates who recommended you here?" The two girls couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

When Carmen heard this, she was also stunned. How did these two girls know that the reason why she chose to join the Straw Hat Pirates, or that the power to travel to the Grand Voyage and the New World was given by the Fallen Pirates.

"Wait... are you guys too?" Carmen thought of something and said with her beautiful eyes wide open and her cherry lips wide open.

When the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates heard this, they all understood. It turned out that Carmen was also recommended by the Fallen Pirates?

"Brother Kuruda, you are too good to me, aren't you? You gave me another capable chef." Luffy said with his mouth wide open.

"Hey, when it comes to fighting, I'm not necessarily worse than him. As for cooking skills, I'll take some time." Carmen said somewhat dissatisfiedly. She had to prove that she was no worse than Sanji.

"Come on, the Fallen Pirates have very high requirements. They won't accept anyone unless they have admiral-level combat power. At the same time, you have to be the top person in a position. They only let you come because they look down on you." Zoro said with a cold expression.

"You green algae-head, you straight man, how can you talk to a lady like that?" Sanji said with a gritted teeth expression, which was very exaggerated.

When Kuruda saw this scene, he suddenly remembered that many characters in the One Piece anime seemed to be very abstract.

No, it's the same even in the comics.

"Zoro, you don't talk like that." Kuina said with helplessness and blame.

Carmen in particular did look a little depressed.

But she quickly cheered up because she found that what Zoro said was indeed correct. She did not have the strength to join the Fallen Pirates at that time, and her cooking skills were far inferior to Eren.

...............

All the members of the Fallen Pirates who saw this turned their eyes towards Kurada.

"What are you thinking?" Kuruda said, feeling a little creepy when they looked at him like that.

What's going on? Why are you looking at me all of a sudden?

"No, Captain. Uh, it's okay for me to say it, after all, everyone wants to express similar ideas." Maple couldn't help but stand up and say.

But soon, she asked everyone first, after all, what if everyone expressed different ideas?

But she was overthinking this time. Everyone shook their heads at the same time, indicating that there was no problem. Obviously, the question they wanted to ask was the same question.

"Then let me ask, Captain, are there only 16 of us on this ship?"
