If you ask who Ye Jia liked most when watching "One Piece," it would undoubtedly be the protagonist of this grand pirate story, Monkey D. Luffy, who constantly shouts, "I'm the man who will become the King of Pirates!"
Before the Marineford War, Luffy and his crew landed on the Sabaody Archipelago. There, they not only met Silvers Rayleigh, the former first mate of the Pirate King's ship, but also encountered the World Nobles incident.
It was precisely because of the World Nobles incident that Bartholomew Kuma intervened, sending Luffy and his crew to various places for two years of training. This greatly enhanced their strength, allowing them to continue their conquest of the New World upon their return.
"When the time comes, I'll definitely give them a good greeting!"
Ye Jia's heart swelled with excitement.
Ye Jia had always yearned to meet Luffy's Straw Hat Pirates and others, to have some interaction with them.
After all, Ye Jia was half a pirate fan. If he hadn't even met Luffy, wouldn't that be too much of a failure?
Finally, that day arrived.
Carrying boundless anticipation, the Death God set sail.
The Kurowa Ship 28 led the way, guiding the Death God.
The two ships, one in front and one behind, began to head towards the Sabaody Archipelago.
"Captain, are we sending these guys
to the Marines?"
Kaltz glanced at the storage room.
When Blackbeard and Donquixote Doflamingo attacked, they brought their cadres and crew members.
In the end, Ye Jia only killed Blackbeard and Donquixote Doflamingo. As for their cadres, some were released, some were captured, and no proper arrangements had been made for them.
"Since I've become a Shichibukai, of course, I need to give the Marines a welcome gift, as a token of my sincerity."
A sharp glint flashed in Ye Jia's eyes. "However, no one said that the welcome gift had to be alive and kicking... or half-dead."
"I'm going to the storage room. If there's nothing important, don't bother me."
After giving his instructions, Ye Jia walked directly to the storage room inside the Death God.
Kaltz was left shaking his head and sighing, "The captain truly hates evil as if it were a mortal enemy. Others are about to be thrown into Impel Down, and they still have to endure a beating... But who told them to be Blackbeard and Donquixote Doflamingo's cadres? The fate of those who commit evil deeds isn't that easy!"
...
Inside the storage room, three people lay sprawled.
Trebol, Buffalo, and Jesus Burgess.
The three were still in a state of unconsciousness, bruised and battered, looking incredibly miserable.
These were not Ye Jia's doing. Instead, the female warriors of Kuja Island, hearing that Ye Jia had captured Donquixote Doflamingo and Blackbeard's cadres, were furious and unleashed all their anger towards Donquixote Doflamingo and Blackbeard onto these unlucky cadres.
Fortunately, these cadres were strong enough to endure it. Otherwise, ordinary people would have long since kicked the bucket from the double blow of psychological and physical torment!
"You three are lucky. You won't
die by my hand. Staying in Impel Down is your best destination."
"But I need to take something from you first!"
Ye Jia directly grabbed the strongest, Jesus Burgess. "Pigs pick the fat, people pick the strong... You're such a big guy, you should be able to take it, right?"
Immediately, Ye Jia began to furiously pummel Jesus Burgess with his fists!
Light-Speed Punch!
After Ye Jia's strength had increased over the past few days, his punching speed had grown from two thousand punches per second to three thousand punches per second!
Three thousand punches per second, what kind of concept is that?
His fists were so fast they barely existed. One could only vaguely see blurry black shadows flickering, and then Jesus Burgess shook uncontrollably as if having a seizure, with indentations from the punches all over his body!
"Congratulations, you have received one 'Swamp-Swamp Fruit' fragment!"
"Congratulations, you have received one 'Swamp-Swamp Fruit' fragment!"
"Congratulations, you have received one 'Swamp-Swamp Fruit' fragment!"
"Congratulations, you have received one 'Observation Haki' fragment!"
"Congratulations, you have received one 'Blood Jade' fragment!"
"Congratulations, you have received one 'Physical Limit Pill' fragment!"
A sweet, mechanical female voice echoed in Ye Jia's mind.
"Swamp-Swamp Fruit?"
When Ye Jia heard this Devil Fruit, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
The Swamp-Swamp Fruit is considered a Logia-type.
Its user is "Wet-Haired" Caribou, who can turn his entire body into liquid mud... However, this Logia-type ability is truly disgusting, and it's one of the worst!
Just thinking about turning his whole body into mud, that sticky, gooey feeling, made Ye Jia's goosebumps immediately rise.
"This Logia-type Devil Fruit... I'll save it!"
Before, Ye Jia had always wanted to collect all Logia-type Devil Fruits to become a super ability user with all Logia-type abilities.
But he truly couldn't "swallow" the Swamp-Swamp Fruit. He decided it would be better to save it for a suitable opportunity in the future and give it to someone as a favor.
"You had to drop such an insignificant Logia-type Devil Fruit... If I wasn't going to send you to the Marines, I'd definitely kill you right now!"
Ye Jia vented all his dissatisfaction with the Swamp-Swamp Fruit onto Jesus Burgess.
If Jesus Burgess knew about this, he would surely cry without tears.
If the Devil Fruit you dropped isn't good, is it my fault?
At the same time, on the deck of the Death God.
"Husband... Kaltz, where's your captain?"
The Empress, clad in a white cloak and purple dress, boarded the ship, looking around.
The Empress's attire today was as beautiful as ever. With her hands on her hips, her fair, long legs were faintly visible beneath her qipao.
"Inside, in the storage room."
Kaltz pointed in the direction of the storage room, not even raising his head, continuing to wipe his sniper rifle.
The Empress was about to walk towards the storage room when Sī Qīngluó suddenly blocked her path.
"This is the interior of the Death God. You are not a member of the Death God Pirate Crew, you are not allowed to enter!"
Sī Qīngluó spoke with a displeased expression, her eyes filled with intense hostility.
"Little sister, for the sake of you being my husband's companion, I won't argue with you... But if you dare to block me again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
The Empress was not someone to be trifled with. How could she possibly let it go after being blocked?
"I won't let you pass!"
Sī Qīngluó spoke resolutely.
"Stop getting in the way!"
The two immediately started fighting, unable to agree on a word.
Qiūlí and Kaltz, watching from the side, were speechless.
