One Piece: At the start, defeat Momonosuke and take Yamato to sea.

Chapter 19: The Forcible Acquisition of the Pluto Battleship, and the Formation of the Luo Ji Pirate

"I'll remember you, an interesting fellow who can see fate!"

Fire Fist Ace was also very happy to meet someone with special abilities like Luo Ji.

If there is any major crisis in the future, maybe we can ask Luo Ji, this fortune teller, to help us 'calculate our fate' and escape disaster.

With a carefree farewell from the group, Fire Fist Ace left behind a dashing laugh and a heroic silhouette as he sailed away from the Wano Country Sea in his fiery little boat.

Next, he will reunite with the Spade Pirates and continue their challenging journey.

The next targets are Shanks and Newgate.

Meanwhile, Luo Ji and Yamato returned to Tokage Port at the Udon Sea Stone Mine.

This time, Luo Ji used a medium-sized storage scroll to collect several pirate ships from the Beasts Pirates, as backup pirate ships for their sea voyages.

However, before truly leaving, Luo Ji still needed to go to the bottom of the Inner Sea to see how Hades, Pluto, was doing.

"Luo Ji! You're not afraid of seawater! How is that possible! How did you do that?!"

Yamato looked at Luo Ji swimming at the beach, his eyes filled with envy.

Back then, because she was hungry, she accidentally ate Kaido's treasured Mythical Zoan-type Great Mouth God Fruit, which caused her to become unable to swim.

This greatly annoyed Yamato, who desperately wanted to go on an adventure at sea.

If she could, she would rather give up this Devil Fruit power than lose her ability to swim.

Now that she sees Luo Ji swimming in the sea, she thinks that Luo Ji has mastered some method that can help Devil Fruit users overcome the curse of seawater.

"This is a gift from God, and I cannot explain it."

"Alright, you and Xiaoyu wait here for me. I'm going to explore the seabed!"

Luo Ji entrusted Xiao Yu and his two pets, Komachiyo and Ushimaru, to Yamato's care.

With Yamato's reassuring pat on the chest, Luo Ji plunged headlong into the Wano Country Sea, heading ever deeper into the deep sea near the protective castle walls.

According to Kozuki Sukiyaki's honest confession, Pluto, the god of the underworld, is hiding in the Kuri Ward.

This is also one of the reasons why sukiyaki is hidden in Amigasa Village.

The old man once thought that if Momonosuke failed to travel through time, the Nine Red Scabbards would not be able to return.

Before he takes his last breath, he will try to activate the Pluton battleship, kill Kaido of the Beasts and Orochi, and avenge the Kozuki clan.

However, he alone could not possibly build the Hades warship.

Even Kaido and his crew are now finding it troublesome and facing numerous difficulties.

To release the Pluton battleship, Wano Country must open its borders; this is not a matter of opening Wano Country's borders in the sense of national policy.

Instead, it was to completely destroy Wano Country's protective walls, break through the formidable waterfall, drain the inland sea of ​​Wano Country, and achieve the true meaning of "opening the country to the world."

In fact, the higher-ups of the Beasts Pirates had known about the existence of the Pluton battleship for a long time.

However, their current strength is still far from being able to confront the World Government.

Therefore, Kaido of the Beasts is constantly expanding his power, setting up weapons factories to make money, and even selling off strategic resources like Seastone.

He needed a lot of money to acquire Zoan-type Devil Fruits and build his army of Devil Fruit users.

In the future, the artificial Devil Fruits created by Doflamingo and Caesar will suit Kaido's desires perfectly.

This deal allowed Doflamingo to successfully establish a large-scale cooperation with Kaido of the Beasts and also monopolized most of the Seastone brokerage business, making the Donquixote Family extremely wealthy.

Speaking of which, it was also this year that a massive explosion occurred at Punk Hazard, forcing Dr. Vegapunk and the World Government's technology team to relocate to Warhead Island in the latter part of the New World.

Caesar, the mastermind behind this, was imprisoned.

In the end, with some mysterious help, Caesar successfully escaped from prison.

He quickly allied himself with Doflamingo and began producing artificial Devil Fruits.

Also this year, in order to treat Bonney's terminal illness, Bartholomew Kuma, with information from Dragon, sought out Vegapunk.

The Five Elders, Satan Santos, secretly installed a large number of eavesdropping Den Den Mushi on Warhead Island to monitor Vegapunk.

He overheard Kuma's landing on Warhead Island, just as Fire Fist Ace defeated the Shichibukai Hanafzai.

Satan used this as leverage to force Kuma to join the Seven Warlords of the Sea and become Vegapunk's experimental subject for human modification.

In order to cure Bonnie, the bear had no choice but to agree to all of Satan's conditions.

This year is destined to be a magnificent year.

With great excitement, Luo Ji began searching for the whereabouts of the Hades warship at the bottom of the sea.

In less than half a day, he found the legendary ancient weapon.

Now, most of this destroyed warship is covered in silt and even has a lot of seaweed growing on it.

It took Luo Ji several days to figure out all the locations of the Hades warship and to figure out its approximate size.

During this time, he returned to the shore many times to rest and recover his strength, and hunted and ate with Yamato, Tama and the others.

In the past few days, Hiyori Kozuki has taken full control of Wano Country and has begun preparations for the return of the Beasts Pirates.

They even organized a large army to attack Ghost Island, and now the fighting is in full swing.

In the open sea, the great battle between the Beasts Pirates and the Red-Haired Pirates was also coming to an end.

Both sides' officials sustained numerous injuries, but neither could do anything to the other.

As more and more marines and great pirates came to watch the spectacle and try to profit, both Shanks and Kaido chose to end the war.

The Red-Haired Pirates retreated to their territory to recuperate, while the Beasts Pirates rushed back to Wano Country to wipe out the despicable traitors of the Kozuki family.

They also want to take revenge on Fire Fist Ace and Luo Ji, those two arrogant brats.

Especially Luo Ji, who tricked Yamato away.

Kaido of the Beasts is determined to kill this bastard brat!

···

After numerous attempts, on the fifth day, Luo Ji finally managed to stuff the Hades warship, along with a large amount of seawater and silt, into his super-large storage scroll.

If they encounter any great danger in the future, Luo Ji might throw the Hades warship out to smash people.

If we fight, we'll throw the Hades warship at you. Are you scared yet?

This operation nearly exhausted Luo Ji's physical strength.

After struggling to swim back to shore, he rested for several days under the care of Yamato and Tama before regaining most of his strength.

Under Yamato's constant urging, Luo Ji could only draw a giant crane, carrying the two women out of Wano Country.

As a Beasts Pirates ship appeared on the sea, Yamato swiftly removed the Beasts Pirates' flag.

The newest flag of the Luo Ji Pirates has been hung up.

A skull and cross banner with the Pen of Death and the Scroll of Hell crossed.

"I hereby declare the Luo Ji Pirates officially formed!"

Under the excited gazes of Yamato and Tama, Luo Ji stepped onto a barrel of sake and loudly announced the formation of the pirate crew!

"Long live the Roger Pirates! We will definitely become a great pirate crew like the Roger Pirates!"

Yamato jumped for joy; she had finally set sail, and all sorts of adventures awaited her on the high seas.

"I must become the Beast Taming Queen under Brother Luo Ji's command!"

Tama also shared her dream, and Komachiyo and Ushimaru excitedly prostrated themselves beside her, loyally watching their master.

"My dream is to stand at the pinnacle of this world and defeat all the Three Generals, the Four Emperors, the Five Elders, and the King of the World!"

Luo Ji laughed heartily, officially announcing his arrival to the world!
