177: Chapter 177 The Companions Gather (1)Upon seeing a familiar face, Nami blushed with excitement, her heart pounding.Unable to contain her impulse, she rushed forward and threw herself into the other person's arms.Despite his disguise, Nami recognized him instantly.Yes, it was Luffy!
Luffy smiled gently, ruffled Nami's long, soft orange hair, then put his arm around her shoulder and led her away from the tavern.Their figures gradually disappeared into the distance, vanishing at the end of the street.
Meanwhile, the Straw Hat crew, who had been unconscious, gradually awoke.The leader shook his aching head, his eyes glazed and somewhat bewildered.When he realized Nami was nowhere to be seen, he gritted his teeth in fury, his eyes flashing with rage.
"You, you, you, and you—all four of you, go and find that bitch!" the leader roared, his voice filled with resentment and anger."The reason we fainted must be that bitch's doing!I'll make her kneel before me and beg for mercy!"
The obese Zoro, the kidney-deficient Sanji, the fat pig Usopp, and the lewd Franky, who were called out, did not dare to be negligent in the slightest.They quickly scrambled to their feet, rushed out of the tavern, and began to search for Nami's whereabouts.
The fake Luffy grumbled and sat down on the sofa, leaning forward with his hands on his knees, looking extremely agitated.Seeing this, the cunning Nami immediately fawned over him, her face plastered with a flattering smile.
"Hehehe, don't be angry, boss~" the cunning Nami said softly, her tone revealing a hint of flattery."Those guys will definitely find that bitch, don't worry~" As she spoke, the cunning Nami secretly touched the fake Luffy's.well, you know, making the fake Luffy feel extremely disgusted, and he glared at her fiercely.However, although he was very unhappy with the fake Nami's behavior, the anger caused by impersonating Nami was still hard to quell.In the end, the fake Luffy decided to take the cunning Nami into the darkest room at the back of the tavern.As for what exactly happened there, everyone probably knows the answer.
On the way, Nami asked Luffy curiously, "Luffy, when you saw someone impersonating you, weren't you angry?And that guy looked so sleazy!"
Luffy laughed and replied, "I wouldn't be angry at such insignificant characters.Besides, they're impersonating me and going around recruiting crew members.Sabaody Archipelago was already under close surveillance by the Navy, and now the situation is even more serious.These Navy personnel are probably here to capture the fake Straw Hat crew.With them drawing attention ahead, we can set sail discreetly." With that, Luffy pointed to the Navy personnel disguised as ordinary civilians mingling in the crowd.
Nami tilted her head, thought for a moment, and nodded in agreement.After all, she didn't want to be chased by a group of Marines as soon as she stepped outside.Although they might not be able to defeat her group, dealing with them would indeed be troublesome.With that in mind, Nami decided to stop worrying about it, took Lu Fei's arm, and headed straight for the dock where the Sunny was moored.
Meanwhile, another reindeer was running frantically, its eyes brimming with tears: "What has happened in the past two years?Why has everyone become so strange!Is Sanji really suffering from kidney deficiency?" It turns out that not long ago, Chopper was happily eating red bean buns when he suddenly saw an old woman leading a fake Robin.Because he has face blindness, Chopper mistook this woman for the real Robin and excitedly prepared to identify her.However, at that moment, the World Government officials, mistaking the fake Robin for the real one, arrested her.Chopper rushed to rescue her, but unfortunately encountered the fake quartet along the way.The rest of the story unfolds in a series of events… In short, these four fake F4 members, having mistaken her for someone else, had no intention of rescuing the kidnapped fake Robin.
Finally, Chopper resolutely decided to go alone to rescue the fake Robin.However, fate is always full of coincidences, and he unexpectedly encountered Usopp on his way.The two good brothers, separated for two years, were overjoyed to be reunited.They embraced tightly, expressing their longing and concern for each other.
However, Chopper was focused on saving people and immediately pulled Usopp along.Usopp told him it was just a misunderstanding, leaving Chopper confused.Despite this, Chopper was furious that someone dared to impersonate them.At the same time, he was also thrilled by the fame his crew had gained.
"Isn't that Nami?And the man she's hugging." Just as Usopp and Chopper were walking together, they spotted Luffy and Nami shopping.Overjoyed, tears welled in their eyes, and they rushed over.However, when they saw Luffy's comical nose under his wide-brimmed hat, they both burst into laughter.Luffy rolled his eyes helplessly and casually stored the disguise back in his system space.
"That's enough, you two!Don't force me to slap you during my happiest moment!" Luffy looked at the people and animals in front of him, who were laughing so hard they were doubled over, and said helplessly.Usopp and Chopper quickly wiped away the tears of laughter from the corners of their eyes and happily hugged Luffy.
"You two have become even stronger after two years of training!" Luffy praised them sincerely, sensing the aura emanating from them.The two immediately became smug after being praised.Usopp even flicked his long nose, confidently boasting, "Haha, of course!Just wait and see how Captain Usopp shows off his skills and power in the New World!"Chopper, not to be outdone, jumped up and down a few times, indicating that he wanted to show Luffy how he would perform in the future New World.
The four walked towards the dock, chatting and laughing, while the four people disguised as F4 were brought back to their senses by their leader's reprimand.It turned out that the talking tanuki was actually Chopper!Unfortunately, it was too late.The F4 could only drag their exhausted bodies through the streets searching for the real Chopper.Vivi, who had returned via the teleportation stone, was instantly back on the Sunny.Upon landing, she witnessed an extremely bizarre scene.A drastically changed Franky was proudly showing off his new body to Brook, who had already returned.After two years of modifications and transformations, Franky's upper body had become enormous, his arms completely replaced by mechanical arms, and his previous energy source—cola—had been replaced by a WeChat reactor installed in his chest."Hey, isn't this our ship's super beauty, Vivi?Long time no see!" Upon seeing his companion return, Franky extended a small hand from his giant palm to greet her.Vivi responded with an awkward smile.Just then, Robin also returned, and the embarrassed Vivi immediately pulled Robin aside to chat
