Rosen saw the vast, boundless sea below and the System's mission requirements, and he knew where he was.
But what time period is it now?
Rosen didn't know the exact location at this moment either.
Just then, a small sampan appeared directly below.
As Rosen looked down, the big boy in the red vest and straw hat on the small sampan below also looked up at Rosen in the sky.
"Hey..." Luffy raised his hand and waved at Rosen in the sky: "Old man up there."
Rosen landed on the small sampan and sized up Luffy in front of him.
"Old man, I'm Luffy, the man who will become the Pirate King, so do you want to be my crewmate?"
"Why be the man who will become the Pirate King? Why not become the Pirate King yourself?"
"I am going to become the Pirate King myself!"
"If you're going to become the Pirate King, then become the Pirate King. Why do you say you're going to be the man who becomes the Pirate King?"
"Ah, this..." A big question mark floated above Luffy's head.
"So from now on, when you introduce yourself, just say you're going to become the Pirate King, don't say you're going to be the man who becomes the Pirate King."
"Oh... Then have you agreed to join my pirate crew?"
"Since you're the first person I've met in this World, then I'll reluctantly join."
"Haven't you met anyone before?"
"With your intelligence, it's hard for me to explain to you." Rosen pressed Luffy's head, which was a head shorter: "My name is Rosen."
"Then I'll call you Old Man from now on."
Luffy was very happy; this was the first crewmate he had gained since setting sail.
And his happiness lasted until a big wave overturned their small sampan.
Anything can happen on the turbulent and treacherous sea.
Then Rosen and Luffy were now sitting on their new ship, a barrel.
"Hey, Old Man, aren't you able to fly? Why do you have to squeeze into this barrel with me?"
With two people squeezed into the barrel, in this cramped space, Luffy was completely distorted, his face directly flattened into a pancake by Rosen's large frame.
"Oh, then, my respected Captain, are you telling me to abandon you?"
"Old Man, can't you take me flying? I haven't experienced flying in the sky yet."
"No, if you want to fly, you have to work hard yourself."
"Old Man, are you also a Devil Fruit user?"
"Kind of."
"But you were clearly able to swim just now."
Luffy remembered that when the big wave hit earlier, it was Rosen who pulled him out of the Water and stuffed him into the barrel.
"That's because my Devil Fruit is called the Swim-Swim Fruit, and the ability of the Swim-Swim Fruit is to be able to swim anywhere."
"Eh? Is that so? There's actually such a strange Devil Fruit."
"Anything magical can happen on this vast sea."
They drifted on the sea for several hours.
Suddenly, the barrel felt like it hit something.
Then the barrel they were hiding in was fished out.
Feeling that the barrel was no longer drifting but resting on a solid object, Rosen and Luffy immediately crawled out of the cramped barrel.
"Ha... We survived."
Rosen and Luffy pushed the barrel open at the same time.
And at this moment, standing in front of them was a plump woman with a freckled face, four meters tall, and weighing over eight hundred jin.
This woman carried a black mace on her shoulder.
"Hello, thank you for saving us." Luffy greeted Alvida with a beaming smile.
"Haha... Where did this little brat come from? Doesn't he know who is standing in front of him?"
"That's the notoriously evil Alvida."
The pirates on the deck looked at Luffy and Rosen as if they were looking at dead men.
"You all shut up!" Alvida's face darkened, and at the same time, she pointed her mace at Rosen and Luffy: "Now, you have two choices: be my servants and serve me, or die under my iron mace."
"Sorry, but I'm going to become the Pirate King's..." Luffy held back the last word: "I won't be your servant."
Alvida raised her mace and smashed it towards Luffy's head.
But the next moment, Luffy's head transformed into the shape of a mace, then returned to normal.
"Ah... What's going on?"
"How did his head turn into that?"
"It's terrifying, he must be a monster."
As expected of the weakest East Blue, many pirates didn't even know about Devil Fruits.
"Not a monster, I'm a Rubber Man, a Devil Fruit user." Luffy introduced himself generously.
"No matter what kind of Rubber Man you are, you've angered me, and now I'm going to flatten you!"
Alvida went berserk, wildly swinging the mace in her hand.
Luffy, meanwhile, performed various difficult maneuvers, dodging Alvida's attacks.
"Hey, hey, if you keep this up, I'm going to get angry!"
Alvida's frenzy hadn't passed, and she couldn't hear anything, still swinging the mace in her hand.
Gum-Gum Pistol! Luffy's arms stretched back twenty meters, then he suddenly thrust them forward, striking Alvida's chest.
