84: Chapter 84 The Thousand Sunny: Three Women Teach Robin How to Chase Men"Fist Bone.Meteorite"
Garp grabbed a cannonball and hurled it at Luffy's ship with all his might.The cannonball grazed the hull and landed in the sea, creating a huge splash.Usopp watched in horror, thinking, "Is this even human?A cannonball thrown with brute force has the power of a cannonball!" Seeing his first attack fail, Garp continued to throw cannonballs at Luffy and his crew, but his aim was off; none of the many cannonballs hit them.Those that were about to hit were swallowed up by Vivi's black hole.Despite this, the others remained calm, gathering together to discuss the new ship.Naming was a challenge, but clearly the group lacked talent in this area, resulting in a variety of bizarre names.Ultimately, they ignored Franky's new fighting machine, the Franky Lion Gang Champion, and chose the Thousand Sunny, named by Iceberg.Franky, frustrated, squatted on the ground drawing circles.A cannonball hit the sea, splashing water that snapped everyone out of their reverie.They then remembered they were still being chased by Garp.Franky stood up triumphantly, declaring that he would take this opportunity to demonstrate the Thousand Sunny's powerful capabilities: "Jarvis, furl the sails, activate the emergency acceleration device!"
At Franky's command, the sails slowly furled, and the device in the power room automatically activated, placing three barrels of cola onto a device.As the device moved up and down, a large amount of energy gradually gathered in the jet nozzle at the stern.Although the group didn't understand what Franky was up to, they followed his instructions and went to the stern, hoping to get a good look at Water 7."Useless, Grandpa, this attack can't hit me," Luffy deflected the incoming cannonball and shouted arrogantly at Garp, intending to just put on a show.Enraged by Luffy's arrogant tone, Garp ignored Coby's attempts to stop him and pulled out a giant iron ball from somewhere.He lifted it high with all his might, and just watching it sent chills down the spines of everyone on the Thousand Sunny.Garp sneered, his muscles bulging, and tossed the giant iron ball with one hand.The Thousand Sunny looked tiny in comparison.Franky, meanwhile, calmly followed the whistle to the stern, reminding everyone to hold on tight.Just as the iron ball was about to crash down, the energy chamber finished pumping energy: "Wind, Jet!"
Franky roared, and the jets spewed out powerful energy, propelling the Sunny into the sky.To Coby's delight, the Sunny disappeared into the distant sea.Garp snorted and turned away, a satisfied look in his eyes.Aokiji glanced at it, then ignored it as the sun set.A lively banquet began on the Sunny, with everyone raising their glasses to celebrate the new ship, the new crew, and Robin's return.Robin finally showed a genuine smile, and Luffy, too, got drunk again, one cup after another of sake.However, this time he didn't do the "nostril dance." Robin.Just before his drunken rampage, she restrained him and personally led Luffy back to his room to sleep.Seeing a hint of affection in Robin's eyes, the three women sighed.Well, another one has fallen for Luffy.They couldn't understand why all the girls Luffy had saved developed feelings for him.After some discussion, the three women unanimously agreed that their men were just too charming.Sanji, feeling frustrated, dragged Zoro around, drinking glass after glass.Zoro, though confused by this lecherous guy's crazy antics, was still happy to have someone invite him for drinks.Robin led Luffy back to his room.Looking at the boy sleeping soundly on the boat, Robin, after some internal struggle, bent down.Robin kissed Luffy on the cheek, then returned to the dorm with a slightly flushed face.Lying on her bed, Robin couldn't help but think of Luffy.Even the usually calm Robin became shy, wrapping herself tightly in her blanket, completely unaware of Uta and the other two girls' arrival."Robin, this is a gift Luffy asked me to give you," Uta said, pulling down Robin's blanket and handing her the side-effect-dissolving potion Luffy had prepared.Initially, Luffy knew Robin didn't fully trust him, so he hadn't given it to her; even if he had, she might not have drunk it.Now that Robin was almost completely integrated into the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy hadn't figured out how to strengthen her yet.First, let's eliminate the side effects of the Devil Fruit.After learning about the potion's wonders from Uta, Robin took it and drank it down in one gulp.Looking up, she saw the three girls' teasing gazes.Robin's heart skipped a beat.Had she been discovered stealing a kiss from Luffy?Just as Robin was about to explain, Uta interrupted, "Robin-neechan, you've fallen for Luffy too, haven't you?" Uta said with a grin, "Let me tell you, Luffy is completely clueless.You have to be bold, otherwise, with his emotional intelligence, he'll probably never imagine you'd like him.Look at Nami and Vivi, they're perfect examples."
Nami and Vivi deeply sympathized, especially Nami.Thinking about Luffy's clueless state back then, Nami's teeth itched.She'd given such obvious hints, yet this guy actually thought that getting a straw hat tattoo meant he was a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.The three girls surrounded Robin, offering advice.Nami and Vivi were fairly normal, suggesting a kiss followed by a confession in front of everyone.Uta was even bolder; she actually suggested Robin take advantage of Luffy's drunkenness and just.well, you know.The girls were all stunned; they hadn't expected this."Uta, you're so bold!" Nami asked, blushing.Vivi nodded vigorously.Uta shrugged, indicating that with Chopper around, he could definitely recover.The three girls quickly stopped the eager Uta.Robin still had some concerns; she was more than ten years older than Luffy.Would Luffy accept her?But then she thought about how many men liked mature women like her, and Robin's last concern was dispelled.The three girls chatted with Robin and Kuina for most of the night.The topic of how to pursue men was discussed, and Kuina seemed to have learned a great deal, adopting several suggestions and preparing to try them on Zoro when the opportunity arose.Meanwhile, Luffy, engrossed in a game of chess, was unaware that his girlfriends had found him yet another one.Zoro, also practicing swordsmanship in his sleep, was oblivious to Kuina's attention.It was another beautiful morning, and Zoro opened his eyes, ready to greet the new day.But instead of the sun, he was greeted by Sanji pouting and kissing him, muttering something about a beautiful older sister wanting a kiss.Zoro was then tightly embraced by the still-sleepy Sanji, getting closer and closer.Zoro couldn't help but let out a piercing scream.Sanji was instantly awakened, opening his eyes to see Zoro looking like he was about to eat someone alive.Looking at his own actions, Sanji sprang up and kicked Zoro.Zoro wasn't going to back down, grabbing a mop and fighting Sanji.The commotion woke everyone else, but they were used to it and didn't bother to separate them.Luffy tossed them into his system space and then went back to sleep.But before falling asleep, Luffy touched the spot where he'd been kissed the day before, saying with some confusion, "Why do I feel like someone kissed me yesterday?Oh well, time to sleep."
