Chapter 238: Stealing the Giant Sea King!

Chapter 238: Chapter 238: Stealing the Giant Sea King!

Seeing this, Nami nearly went crazy. She quickly slapped Sanji on the back and shouted:

"Hey, Sanji, hurry up and get my gold back!"

Hearing this, Sanji immediately followed her order. He used Moonwalk to chase after the octopus, which had turned itself into a hot-air balloon.

But just as Sanji caught up with it in midair, the octopus suddenly released all the air from its head.

Using the weight of the gold, it instantly dropped downward, leaving Sanji hanging alone in the sky.

Seeing this, Nami immediately gave him orders:

"Hey, Sanji, it dove underwater! Hurry up and find it for me!"

At her words, fiery red light flashed in Sanji’s eyes, and he jumped straight into the water.

But underwater, Sanji had no way to keep himself steady.

The giant octopus on the seafloor stirred up the water so violently that Sanji nearly passed out.

Seeing this, Zoro’s expression turned serious, and he drew his sword, The One Who Brings the World to Harmony.

Just as he was about to slash downward, a tentacle shot out of the water.

It struck Zoro three times in the stomach and sent him flying. ℴℴ𝘮

Seeing this, everyone’s eyes filled with shock.

No one had expected the giant Sea King to be so powerful.

Seeing their two strongest fighters defeated one after another, Raynor frowned slightly. It seemed he would have to step in after all.

However, just as Raynor turned around, Luffy grabbed him by the shoulder. A hint of excitement appeared in Luffy’s eyes.

"Leave this guy to me."

Hearing this, Raynor frowned slightly. Luffy was still in the middle of learning Haki.

He had not truly mastered Haki yet, so defeating a giant Sea King would probably still be difficult for him.

But at that moment, Luffy gathered all his strength. The muscles throughout his body began to ripple.

For a brief moment, a faint trace of Armament Haki actually appeared around Luffy’s body.

Seeing this, Raynor smiled with relief.

As expected of Luffy. His ability to understand things really is incredible.

At that moment, Luffy raised the corner of his mouth and looked at the giant Sea King.

"You stinking octopus! That gold was supposed to buy me meat, so hand it back right now!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Luffy quickly threw a punch that struck the octopus Sea King’s ink sac.

The giant Sea King spat out a cloud of black ink, and its entire body was sent flying backward.

But Luffy had no intention of letting it escape. He stretched out both arms and grabbed the octopus by the head.

Then, like a cannonball, Luffy launched himself forward and slammed his head into the octopus’s teeth.

The octopus’s teeth broke off instantly. It spat out a cloud of black mist, fell into the sea, and fled in panic.

Seeing this, the entire Straw Hat crew cried out in shock.

No one had expected Luffy to improve so quickly after practicing with Raynor for such a short time.

After defeating the giant Sea King, Luffy spun around and returned to the Going Merry. Then he laughed smugly and said:

"Perfect..."

Luffy had not even finished speaking when Nami punched him in the head.

"Perfect, my ass! My gold still hasn’t been brought up! You two, get back down there and bring up all my gold. Now!"

Hearing this, Sanji and Zoro jumped into the deep sea one after another. They carried the gold back to the Going Merry piece by piece.

The two of them lay on the deck, gasping for breath.

Nami, meanwhile, hugged the gold, her eyes shining with a golden light.

"Thank goodness you’re both all right."

Hearing this, Raynor frowned deeply.

Nami was never going to change.

As Raynor thought this, Usopp suddenly shouted:

"Hey, everyone, come look! Is that an island over there? It looks pretty prosperous!"

Hearing this, Nami rushed over in a single stride.

She snatched the binoculars from Usopp and looked into the distance.

Sure enough, a prosperous little island stood far away.

Seeing this, tears of excitement appeared in Nami’s eyes.

"Great! Now we can exchange our gold for money!"

Hearing this, Usopp looked at the gold piled all over the Going Merry and frowned slightly.

"With this much gold, even if we exchange it for Belly, the Going Merry probably won’t be able to hold it all."

Hearing this, Nami deliberately gave an evil smile and held up one finger.

"Then we’ll just trade it for another ship. It’s not like we’re short on money."

Hearing this, Usopp pressed his fist against Nami’s head.

"Hey, are you a demon? The Merry has been with us for so long, and it’s covered in injuries. Instead of thinking about repairing it, you want to replace it? You materialistic woman!"

At this, Nami punched Usopp and knocked him to the ground.

"Hey, I was only joking! Why are you taking it so seriously?"

Seeing Usopp lying facedown on the ground and twitching, Chopper immediately panicked.

"Hey, Nami! Usopp has suffered a fatal injury!"

Seeing this, Raynor could not help admiring Usopp. For the sake of the Going Merry, he really was willing to do anything.

Still, there was no need to worry about this. Once the Treasure Tree Adam was made into a ship, it would be able to upgrade the Going Merry.

By then, the Going Merry would become a much larger ship.

After knocking Usopp down again, Nami pointed toward Water Seven and gave an order.

"All right, full speed ahead! Let’s reach the island as soon as possible!"

Hearing this, Sanji adjusted the sails and opened the four exhaust shells at the back of the Going Merry.

The Going Merry was pushed forward.

But just as they were getting close to Water Seven, the ship struck something. A deep rumbling sound came from below.

Everyone who had been resting on the ship was thrown off balance.

Usopp hurried over to check what had happened, and his eyes widened in terror.

He dropped onto the deck, then scrambled backward and said:

"E-everyone, this is bad! There’s a giant frog..."

Before Usopp could finish, Zoro yawned and said:

"Don’t tell me you’re saying we just hit a frog. There’s a limit to how ridiculous your jokes can be."

Hearing this, Usopp pressed his fist against Zoro’s head.

"Hey, Zoro, what exactly are you trying to say? Don’t you believe me?"

Hearing this, Zoro turned his head aside and was about to argue with Usopp.

But then they saw a huge yellow frog swimming through the water.

Zoro’s eyes nearly popped out of his head. He stood up and shouted:

"Hey, Luffy, look! There’s a frog swimming freestyle!"

Luffy had been trying to sense Haki, but the moment he heard this, he completely forgot about his training.

He grabbed the bed rail and looked toward Zoro.

His eyes filled with shock. Then he pointed at the giant frog and shouted:

"Hey, Sanji, turn the ship around! Catch that frog! I’m having frog meat for dinner tonight!"
