Pirates: Building a Pirate Family.

But soon, he cheered up again and continued to mutter to himself: "Roronoa, I sincerely hope that you will not become a coward like me. Work hard to become the strongest in the world, with the desire and pursuit that belongs to me!"

As he spoke, the image of Zoro involuntarily emerged in his mind, and gradually overlapped with his young and ambitious self twenty-four years ago.

"Let us meet again at the peak!"

Mihawk closed his eyes gently, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, outlining a faint smile.

Although his heart was still filled with regrets at this moment, he also had a glimmer of expectation for the future.

As time goes by, it disappears quietly and silently like a gurgling stream.

In the blink of an eye, the white horse has passed through countless gaps, and the thrilling adventure of the Straw Hat Pirates continues to move forward in an orderly manner as described in the original work.

However, there is a subtle change in this journey - the clown Buggy, who always brings surprises and jokes, changed his fate because of Charlotte's existence.

Did not meet Luffy.

Because of this, the Straw Hat Pirates' sailing speed is much faster than before.

They braved the wind and waves all the way and finally arrived at Rogue Town, where the legendary Pirate King Roger was executed.

Here, fate arranged for them to meet Smoker, the colonel who was demoted to Rogue Town and who possessed the ability of the natural Smoke Fruit.

In an instant, swords were drawn and a thrilling battle began.

Luffy rushed towards Smoker fearlessly, his fists whistling and his momentum was like a rainbow. Smoker calmly controlled the smoke to form a solid line of defense. The two sides fought back and forth, neither giving in, and it was difficult to tell who would win.

But no one expected that in this fierce battle, Luffy suddenly awakened the Armament Haki!

This shocking turn of events left everyone dumbfounded.

Unfortunately, Luffy's newly awakened Armament Haki was still very weak at this time and was far from being able to compete with Smoker.

Even though he tried his best and used all his strength, he still couldn't withstand Smoker's powerful attack.

In this time and space, as the navy faces unprecedented difficult situations, every member of the navy is forced to continuously improve their strength in order to survive.

As a result, Smoker also received significant enhancements during this period.

Therefore, no matter how bravely Luffy fights, the ending seems to have been determined.

After a hard fight, Luffy was finally defeated by Smoker.

He fell to the ground, gasping for breath, his clothes soaked with sweat.

Just when everyone thought that everything was settled, the sky suddenly became extremely strange.

The originally clear blue sky was instantly covered by thick dark clouds, followed by lightning and thunder. Dazzling flashes of lightning streaked across the sky, and deafening thunder rose one after another.

Amidst this turbulent scene, a huge bolt of lightning struck the ground straight away, right between Luffy and Smoker who were confronting each other.

In an instant, light shone everywhere and strong electric current swept all around, making it almost impossible to open one's eyes.

Suddenly, an extremely huge storm quickly rolled up in the sky. This powerful force was like a ferocious beast opening its bloody mouth, sweeping Luffy up and rushing towards the port at an extremely fast speed.

At the same time Luffy was swept away, the entire Straw Hat Pirates were involuntarily swept away by the violent storm and left Rogue Town together.

At this time, Smoker was furious. He roared angrily and without hesitation abandoned the Rogue Town where he was stationed. He led many warships to chase in the direction where the Straw Hat Pirates left.

However, although Smoker was anxious, the Straw Hat Pirates had the help of the strong wind, and their ship flew forward as fast as an arrow, disappearing from Smoker's sight in the blink of an eye.

In this way, the Straw Hat Pirates took advantage of the sudden strong wind to successfully pass through the Upside-Down Mountain and entered the first half of the Grand Line.

At the same time! The well-known Golden Ship that had caused a stir in the city a while ago also arrived at the first half of the Grand Line.

What is even more surprising is that the Golden Ship was so bold that it sailed directly to the Chabaody Archipelago without fear and docked there openly.

I saw the golden ship shining with dazzling light, corridors slowly lowered on both sides of the ship, and then a group of energetic young boys and girls filed down from the ship.

One of the girls, named Daisy, was wearing tight clothes. She looked at the people from the Chabaoti Archipelago who were gradually gathering around her with a worried look on her face. She was filled with uneasiness and worry, so she asked her sister beside her, "Sister, will we get into any trouble by doing this in such a high-profile manner?"

Obviously, what Daisy was most worried about was the naval branch stationed near the Sabaody Archipelago, or rather, the naval headquarters - Marinford, which was only an hour's flight from the Sabaody Archipelago.

"What are you afraid of? I am the Golden Empress. What can a mere general do to me?"

Since she resolutely left Kami Island, Rachel seemed to have broken free from all constraints and completely released the true and outspoken self deep in her heart.

It was not just Rachel herself, but even the brothers and sisters who followed her into the world were like wild horses, completely letting themselves go.

When they finally saw with their own eyes the beautiful and charming Chabaotier Archipelago that looked like a dreamland, this group of energetic boys and girls could no longer suppress their excitement and cheered in unison.

You know, in the past, they could only learn about and imagine the various legends and wonderful scenes of the Chabaobab Archipelago through thin newspapers.

Now, the dream has come true. Many people have been looking forward to and longing for this legendary island for a long time.

This is both a refuge for losers and a starting point for the brave to set sail again.

And from the moment the Golden Pirates successfully arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago, the intelligence network hidden in the dark and as complex as a spider web quickly started to operate.

The spies secretly planted in the Sabaody Archipelago by various major forces noticed the arrival of this famous pirate team and passed this important news back to their respective camps as quickly as possible.

Among them, of course, the powerful Navy Headquarters is indispensable.
