It's against the heavens to not earn money when you have the chance.
After earning a small 100 million Berries from Nami, Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji rushed to Arlong Park.
Ever since Luffy appeared, Alvida's gaze had been fixed on him, so Yang Tao went with the flow and said, "Alvida, Luffy's here, do you want to give it a try?"
"Of course, even though he looks a bit weak now, I have a feeling he will definitely become the strongest person in the world."
Is this the terrifying intuition of a woman?
Watching Alvida slide in front of Luffy, Yang Tao watched the upcoming battle with interest.
Arya, dressed in a camouflage combat uniform, came to Yang Tao's side. With the new outfit, the already beautiful Arya exuded a hint of uniform allure.
She looked at Alvida's figure and asked with some concern, "Mr. Yang Tao, will Alvida be alright?"
"I don't know."
Yang Tao answered very directly. Even Alvida, after special training, couldn't match Luffy's health points, but Devil Fruit abilities are a bug; they can narrow the gap caused by health points.
"Then will Alvida be in danger?"
"Arya, Alvida is doing this willingly. Although she wants to defeat Luffy, I feel she wants Luffy to go further."
Gum-Gum Pistol, Gum-Gum Axe, Gear One, Gear Two, Gear Three are all fleeting clouds; Luffy's strongest asset will always be his indescribable charisma.
It's like naruto's Talk no Jutsu in naruto, an out-of-bounds ability.
"Just watch carefully, Arya."
At this moment, Alvida came to Luffy's side, a smile on her face, and gently said, "Luffy, we meet again."
Luffy looked at Alvida in front of him and asked with a puzzled expression, "Who are you?"
"Hehe, it seems I've become more beautiful, so much so that you don't recognize me. My name is Alvida, do you remember?"
Luffy tilted his head slightly, still looking bewildered.
"Alvida? Who is that?"
Alvida's face darkened. She punched Luffy hard on the head. After a 'dong' sound, a large bump rose on Luffy's head.
"I was the one who had someone pull you out of the sea! How could you forget me so quickly? Koby, that coward's captain!!"
Luffy clutched his head, shouting continuously, "Ow, ow, ow... Koby? Alvida, Al... Ah~"
Luffy shrieked, momentarily forgetting the big bump on his head. His body couldn't help but retreat several steps, his jaw dropped to the ground in surprise as he pointed at Alvida and said, "Ah! It's you, Alvida, how did you get so thin?"
Seeing that Luffy remembered, Alvida was very happy. She single-handedly pinched her now slender waist and said, "I just lost a little weight, I didn't expect even you wouldn't recognize me~"
Luffy is naturally a bit dense and has no concept of beauty or ugliness. He immediately followed Alvida's words and said, "Oh, I almost didn't recognize you after you lost weight. What do you want to do now?"
"What do I want to do? Of course, to see how much you've grown during this time."
After the pleasantries, Alvida quickly slid towards Luffy using her Devil Fruit ability.
She raised her fist and once again struck Luffy's head.
Sanji immediately shouted from the side, "Luffy, you can't lay a hand on a beautiful lady!!"
Alvida glared at him fiercely and said, "Shut up!"
Sanji, though reprimanded, showed no displeasure. Instead, he revealed a masochistic expression.
Yang Tao single-handedly rubbed his forehead and shook his head. Sanji was beyond saving, and the further along he went, the more severe his infatuation became, even endangering his life at one point.
Arya suddenly asked from the side, "Mr. Yang Tao, was Miss Alvida a bit fat before?"
"A little, I guess..."
He couldn't be the one to reveal her past flaws.
"Blue, watch things here. I'm going out for a bit."
"Alright, Captain."
He only watched the battle between Alvida and Luffy for two glances before losing interest.
Luffy's attacks couldn't hit Alvida, who possessed the Slip-Slip Devil Fruit, and Alvida's unarmed attacks on Luffy were like tickles.
Now, it was just a battle of stamina.
However, Yang Tao knew that Alvida would definitely lose.
Riding his magic broom, Yang Tao flew towards Cocoyasi.
Arlong Park is very close to Cocoyasi. From afar, Yang Tao saw a large orange grove, with oranges hanging from the branches, clearly indicating it was harvest season.
He controlled the magic broom to land outside the village.

Yang Tao glanced at the little boy hiding behind an orange tree, smiled, and walked into the village.
The Villagers in Cocoyasi looked at Yang Tao, an outsider, with wary eyes.
Suddenly, dense exploration value prompts popped up.
Although a single Villager didn't provide much exploration value, the number of Villagers in Cocoyasi was not small.
A middle-aged man wearing a dark brown uniform and a windmill hat walked towards him.
Genzo.
He was one of only two people Yang Tao could name in Cocoyasi.
He was the resident police officer of Cocoyasi, and also the Guardian of Nami and Nojiko. To Nami and Nojiko, he was like a benevolent father.
"Outsider, leave here quickly. If you're discovered, you'll be in danger."
"Mr. Genzo, if you're talking about the Arlong Pirates, then you don't need to worry. They've already been dealt with by me and my subordinates."
"What?!!!"
His words immediately caused a commotion among the Cocoyasi Villagers.
"If you don't believe me, you can send someone to Arlong Park to take a look. Mr. Genzo, I'd like to ask where Nojiko lives..."
[World Exploration Value 25.04%]
[Activated Devil Fruit mod]
'It really is a Devil Fruit mod? Isn't this going to take off?'
"No need..."
Nojiko appeared in his line of sight.
Nojiko had short blue hair, a red hairband, and wore a cool tank top, revealing blue tattoos on both arms and the upper part of her chest.
Her tattoos were etched to comfort Nami, who had been tattooed by the Arlong Pirates. She was barefoot, wearing a pair of flip-flops.
Her tanned skin looked very healthy.
She walked up to Yang Tao and asked, "Did you just say the Arlong Pirates were annihilated?"
"That's right. One takes money to do business. Nami has already paid the reward."
Doing the job first and then collecting payment, there was nothing wrong with that.
"I just came to inform you all. Now I should go back. Goodbye, Mr. Genzo and Miss Nojiko."
Since the mod was already in hand, there was no point in staying in Cocoyasi any longer.
He really hadn't expected to get a mod before even finishing exploring the East Blue.
However, another problem also emerged. According to the number of characters appearing in the plot, it was a foregone conclusion that this world would be digitized.
