Onmyoji of the Grand Line

Page 279

His name is Luffy.

Luffy, Monkey.

At the end of a harbor path, the sea breeze howls.

The stone walls and wooden roof are made of stone, and there is a chimney on the roof (ccaf). In addition to the kitchen and one or two rooms, there is also a tiny hut.

The warm summer sun shone through the small window of the little house.

"I'm hungry."

A soft voice came from the bed in the corner of the room.

The person sleeping on the pillow has a scar on their face. The one talking in their sleep is Luffy.

"Are you awake?" Chen Zhao asked.

"Wow..." Nami couldn't help but gasp.

A helmeted figure looked down at Luffy. She lifted her mask, revealing a pair of beautiful eyes that stared intently at him.

Medaka walked in.

"Ha..." Nami gasped.

Luffy stretched and got up. Mercaka watched Luffy with interest.

Squeak!

Mercaka slowly reached out and grabbed Luffy's wrist, straightening his arm.

"Wow!" came a gasp.

"Hehe! So long..."

Mercaka watched as Luffy's arm stretched out like rubber, and a naive smile appeared on his face.

"Stop!" Ye Futian shouted.

"That's amazing! Did your arm stretch even longer just now?"

"Just now?" Luffy was taken aback.

Luffy racked his brains but couldn't come up with a solution.

"Those two pirates! Didn't you beat them up? By the way, why are your arms like rubber?"

"I do this because I am an eraser."

Luffy acted as if it were perfectly natural.

“Rubber?” Angell was taken aback.

Medaka was dumbfounded.

Luffy can not only grow limbs, but also any part of his body. This "special" ability is due to eating the Gum-Gum Fruit, one of the "Devil Fruits".

What is a "Devil Fruit"?

This is a rare treasure, worth 100 million Berries.

From the outside, a "Devil Fruit" looks like just an ordinary fruit. As for why it's called a "treasure," you'll only know after eating it. Those who eat a "Devil Fruit" will continuously gain incredible superpowers.

There are many types of Devil Fruits. Luffy ate a "Gum-Gum Fruit," which allows his body to stretch and contract like rubber. Besides this, there are also "Fragment Fruits," which allow the user to survive even after being cut into pieces. Luffy ate a "Gum-Gum Fruit" when he was a child, and it's been over ten years now. His body can stretch and contract like rubber, which is convenient in many situations, so he doesn't feel restricted. The only inconvenience is that he can't swim. Legend has it that Devil Fruits are the embodiment of sea demons. Therefore, whoever eats a Devil Fruit will be hated by the sea. They cannot float on the surface of the sea. Luffy is someone who cannot swim. This is why...

"Oh dear, where's my hat... where's my hat?"

Luffy got out of bed and suddenly realized that his straw hat was gone.

Swah——

Luffy frantically threw off the covers. Thump, thump. He darted around frantically, searching the shelves, the walls, the floor, and under the bed, as if trying to turn the small room upside down.

"Hat, hat!"

"Luffy, stop arguing."

Someone scoffed. Luffy glanced at the kitchen.

"What? Zorro!"

Luffy wasn't surprised to see him again. Zoro was sitting at the kitchen table. An unfamiliar old man sat next to Zoro.

Chapter 320: The Tower of Demons!

"What do you mean, what are you saying... It's because of you, you can't swim, that I almost drowned."

"Oh dear, I don't have time to waste with you! Hat! Hat!"

"Here you go," Lin Feng said calmly.

Mercaka handed the straw hat to Luffy.

"Oh no! My hat!"

Luffy's eyes lit up.

"I'll dry it for you."

"I see. Thank you!"

Luffy immediately put on the hat. He was finally relieved.

Is it that important?

"Yep."

“Why?” Regner asked.

"A gift from a friend."

Luffy answered Metalacman's question readily and then sat down next to Zoro. He was completely at ease, as if he had lived at home for ten years. Although Luffy had no idea where he was, nor who the armored child and the old man were.

Luffy has a very cheerful personality.

"I'm hungry."

As Luffy spoke, his stomach rumbled loudly. He had probably vomited up all the water in his stomach and was now extremely hungry.

"Kid, you're a real pain."

The old man stood up, picked up a porcelain plate filled with soup.

"Great! We can eat now!"

Seeing the steaming soup, Luffy's eyes lit up. Although it was just a simple bowl of vegetable and grain soup, for someone like Luffy who would even eat a brachiosaurus, anything he could eat was delicious.

"Wow, thank you, sir."

Zorro glanced at Luffy, who had almost buried his head in the plate.

"What? If you want to thank me, then tell Medaka. She's the one who dragged your friend from the beach."

Luffy, Metallica, Zoro, and an old man. Judging from his age, he must be Metallica's grandfather.

"Oh no, how is Nami now?"

Zorro suddenly realized. Nami was gone after that chaos.

"Ah! He shouldn't be dead, right?"

Luffy took a sip of soup and replied.

"How did you find out?"

That's because everyone is still alive.

"Hehe, that's true."

Luffy and Zoro argued back and forth, neither able to come to a clear conclusion. Metalac stood in a corner of the room, quietly watching the scene. Metalac's gaze remained fixed on the three swords stuck in Luffy and Zoro's backs.

"You two...are you full? We'll talk when they arrive," the old man said.

"Who?"

"Ah, is it them?"

Zoro looked bewildered, while Luffy glanced at Metala. Metala nodded without saying a word.

"Just now?" Angell was taken aback.

Luffy briefly explained to Zoro the conflict between himself and the pirates.

“…I understand. But getting into a fight as soon as we arrived on the island is really meddling in other people’s business,” Zorro said with a wry smile.

"Not long ago, this island was a peaceful place. But those guys... the pirate Gonzak and his men stole our freedom from the island!"

Zorro was startled by the name González.

“These pirates are setting fires, killing, and looting in the village, running rampant. Most of the villagers have been forcibly taken away, leaving only the elderly and children, because we can't work. The child's father is one of them. Medaka, don't do anything dangerous anymore.”

The old man spoke to Medaka in a gentle yet serious tone.
