Chapter 150: Arc 12: Everyone Together! Luffy, Setting Out for the New World!


"Read this carefully before you set sail." Rayleigh handed Nami a rolled up parchment. "It has all the details on how to operate a coated ship."

"Got it." Nami took the scroll. "Thanks. Alright, let's go!" she declared. "To Grove 42!"

"Oh wait." Franky cut in. "I have to contact Zoro and Sanji first."

"Still..." Robin mused. "I hope Luffy doesn't get himself in trouble."

"Wishful thinking." Sasha muttered.

"True." Nami agreed. "This is Luffy, after all. I'd be surprised if we actually set sail without any problems."

"Leave it to me." Chopper offered. "I'll go get him. I have a great idea."


"That voice." Nami recognized Brook's familiar laugh.

"Sasha-san! Usopp-san! Nami-san! Robin-san! Franky-san!" the skeleton called out from his ride.

"Brook!" Usopp beamed when the musician landed on deck.

"Seeing all of you brings back such fond memories." Brook reminisced. "The three of you have become more beautiful." he looked at three females. "Incidentally, it doesn't look like everyone is here yet."

"No need to worry." Robin assured. "Chopper went to pick up the others."

"Hey!" Luffy called from the back of the head bird of the giant bird flock from Torino Kingdom.

"So, you're finally here." Franky remarked.

"You guys!" Luffy beamed.

"Here they are!" Chopper called.

"Luffy, Zoro, Sanji!" Usopp cheered.

"Luffy-san, I've missed you so much." Brook wept.

"You've gotten pretty manly." Franky noted.

"We're all together again." Usopp sniffled.

"At last..." Sanji mused and stopped short when his eyes took in Nami's and Robin's revealing cleavages. A moment later, the cook erupted in a massive nosebleed that sent him catapulting off the bird and into the water.

"Sanji!" Chopper panicked. "Usopp, is Sanji alright?" he asked, after sending the bird off.

"This is bad, Chopper." Usopp reported. "Please stop his bleeding."

"Luffy!" Nami pulled Luffy back from gushing over Franky. "I just received a report that the warships are almost here."

"Correction, they're already here!" Sasha shouted when the ship was attacking by a cannonball.

"When'd they get here?" Usopp snapped. "Three warships." he peered through his spyglass. "Are we gonna fight back or not? We're gonna get killed."


"Slave Arrow!" Hancock's rain of pink arrows fossilized the next three cannonballs. "Who would be so insolent as to leave a warship in my path?" she questioned, blocking the Navy warship with her galleon.


"That's the Kuja's mark." Robin recognized the pirate symbol.

"The Kuja?" Nami echoed.

"A fierce female pirate crew led by the Pirate Empress, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea." Robin explained.

"One of the Seven Warlords?" Usopp exclaimed.

"The Empress, Boa Hancock." Robin added. "Rumor has it that anyone who sees her beauty is completely overwhelmed and turns to stone."

"So bright!" Brook gasped, having taken a peek with Usopp's spyglass. "She's shining! Her beauty knows no bounds."

"That's fast!" Sasha gaped, seeing Brook fall over.

"I can't believe her unsurpassed beauty!" even Usopp was affected.

"Unsurpassed beauty?" Sanji was instantly up. "Where?" he ran over and grabbed Usopp's spyglass.

"He turned to stone!" Usopp exclaimed, seeing the petrified Sanji once he laid eyes on Hancock.

"It's Hancock and the others." Luffy recognized. "We're saved. Let's set sail now while we have the chance."

"You know that Warlord?" Nami asked.

"Yeah." Luffy nodded. "I was sent flying to the Island of Women. They're all friends of mine."

"The legendary island populated entirely by women?" Usopp echoed. "You mean it really exists?"

"You're on friendly terms with the Empress." Sanji fumed. "Did you even train at all?"

"Yeah, heaps." Luffy replied.

"And I was..." Sanji went into depression mode. "I was..."

"What happened to you, Sanji?" Luffy asked.

"Alright, prepare to set sail." Nami gave the order.

"Nami, I'll leave the course to you." Franky informed and jumped into the water.

"Leave it to me." Nami consulted her Log Pose.

Diving to the back of the Thousand Sunny, Franky pumped the gathered air in the air bubble into the coated ship.

"It's swelling up." Luffy noticed the resin bubble filling up.

"Listen up, everyone." Nami voiced. "The coating can reduce any level of water pressure, so we need an airbag underneath the ship to keep us floating. Once it's removed, the buoyancy drops and the coated Sunny will sink towards the ocean floor. That's how it works. Anyway, unfold the sails!"

"Sails?" Chopper echoed.

"A coated ship catches the ocean currents like wind and moves with them." Robin explained.

"So, we won't get there just by sinking?" Usopp asked.

"Now, if we don't hurry, the Navy will catch up." Nami reminded.

"I've removed the airbag." Franky climbed back on board.

"Roger that." Nami acknowledged. "What about the sails?"

"Ready at any time." Zoro responded.

"Are we ready to set sail, Nami?" Luffy asked.

"Yes." Nami nodded. "Give the order, Captain."

"Well then," Luffy looked at his sister. "I'm giving the floor to you, Sasha."

"Everyone," Sasha addressed the crew. "I know all of you are wondering about the reasoning of my decision two years ago; the thing is, even all of you unlocked your respective Haki, your learning curves are different from each other and only you yourself can set the pace for your own advancement."

"And that's that." Luffy grinned. "Unfold the sails! Set sail!"

At his command, the Thousand Sunny started to dive into the water.
