On the Straw Hat Pirates' side, the weather, which normally sees hailstones hundreds of meters high falling in the New World, remained unharmed because Lin Qing had the ability to control the weather.
After witnessing Lin Qing's ability to make a warship sail for an hour with a single breath, Nami asked Lin Qing to blow air into the sails.
This way, we can save resources and increase the speed of travel, so why not?
After a day's voyage, in the early hours of the morning, everyone except Franky, who was at the helm, was asleep.
Caesar was tied up and thrown onto the deck, while Luo leaned against the side to rest. Lin Qing hadn't slept in a long time, so he simply shut down his five senses and lay down on the deck to sleep.
The moonlight shone brightly on the sea, clearly visible. Suddenly, the clouds in the sky slowly obscured the moonlight, and the sea turned pitch black.
"Go!" A voice suddenly rang out, and then a group of dark figures crashed down from the sky onto the Thousand Sunny.
These dark figures had halos around their necks that emitted a green glow, and the noise of their fall woke everyone on the ship.
Except for Lin Qing, because Lin Qing's sense of touch was not blocked, all other four senses were blocked by Lin Qing.
If Lin Qing doesn't shut down his four senses, he won't sleep very comfortably. Anyway, there's nothing that can threaten him, so what is Lin Qing afraid of?
"Ahhh."
"What's wrong? What's wrong? No!" Caesar was woken up and immediately became terrified.
"What's going on? Who is it?" Luffy, Sanji, Zoro, and Brook immediately ran out of the room.
"What happened?" Luo immediately woke up with a start.
Chopper and Usopp also woke up and huddled on the deck, trembling.
As soon as Luffy came out, he saw a group of Gundam personnel standing in front of him. Before he could react, he was punched in the face.
"Damn it!" Luffy cursed and immediately retaliated.
Then all the shadowy figures began to attack the group, three or five of them ganging up on one person. Because it was a dark night without moonlight, the group could only defend themselves.
"What's with these guys suddenly charging at us?" Zoro kept swinging his sword to block the attacks from the shadowy figures.
"There are about 30, be careful," Sanji said, kicking away several shadowy figures before reminding the others.
"30? How can this be? It's so dark, I can't figure it out!" Brook twisted his skeletal body to dodge the attacks.
"Who exactly are these guys?" Luo asked as he punched a dark figure away.
"Damn it, where's Lin Qing? Why is Lin Qing still sleeping? Didn't he wake up with all this noise?" Ace looked at the attackers with great anxiety.
Suddenly seeing Lin Qing lying soundly asleep on the deck, Ace immediately flew over, trying to wake Lin Qing, but to no avail.
"Hey, what's all this noise about?" Nami shouted angrily as the door to the second-floor cabin opened, with Robin behind her.
"Ah, ahh!" Nami screamed in fright as soon as she saw the several dark figures rushing towards her.
"Whoa~~~~~~!" A loud whistle rang out over the sea.
Upon hearing the whistle, the group of shadowy figures immediately ceased their attack and swiftly leaped into the sea, disappearing from sight.
"What? What happened?" Nami asked hurriedly, snapping out of her daze.
"Nice to meet you all!"
"Who goes there?" Luffy looked up at the top of the mast with a serious expression, and the others looked over as well.
Just then, the sea breeze dispersed the clouds in the sky, and the moonlight once again shone on the sea.
"Hey totototo, my name is Breed, and I'm a Pet-Pet Fruit user," Breed introduced herself with a laugh.
"Pet Fruit?"
"What is that, a slime?"
"Is that Doflamingo?"
"no."
"Oh no!" By the moonlight, Luo could see that a huge rabbit was carrying Caesar on its shoulder behind Breed.
"Caesar!"
"Hehehehe, idiots, how did you manage to catch me? Don't underestimate Doflamingo!" Caesar laughed triumphantly.
"So that guy really is one of Doflamingo's subordinates?"
"Stop—Bang!"
Just as Luffy was about to run over, he was punched in the face and sent flying backward.
"Ouch, ouch, ouch." Luffy touched his cheek where he had been hit.
"What are you yelling about? Aren't you made of rubber? Could it be that that guy can use Haki?" Sanji turned his head and saw that the manatee's fist was completely black, which was clearly Armament Haki.
"hateful."
"Hey, toototototot, I'll take Caesar, goodbye."
"Hmph! You think you can just leave after waking me up? Not so easy." Lin Qing's figure suddenly appeared behind Breed.
Seeing that Lin Qing couldn't be woken up, Ace used his body to repeatedly move back and forth on Lin Qing's body, perhaps because of Ace's soul.
Lin Qing, who had been touched by Ace's soul, immediately became aware of it and released his restraints to wake up.
Lin Qing grabbed Breed by the neck and slapped him across the face.
"Clap clap clap clap clap!"
Seeing that her face was already swollen beyond recognition, Lin Qing stopped and then used spiritual energy threads to bind Breed tightly.
Breed's Devil Fruit ability immediately became ineffective, and the Sea Beast Pirates, who were preparing to attack Lin Qing, all regained their senses.
Breed's fruit failed; the halos around the necks of these sea monsters all disappeared, and they all broke free from Breed's control.
When the manatee regained consciousness, it saw Luffy and immediately recognized him as its master.
Instantly, the Kung Fu Manatee jumped onto Luffy's body, hugged him, and kept rubbing its cheek against him.
"W-what happened? What happened?" Luffy looked completely bewildered.
"What's going on with the straw hat guy?"
"He said, 'Master, it's been a long time.'" Chopper understood; he had the ability to communicate with animals.
"Ah, could you be the Kung Fu Dugong who became Luffy's apprentice in Alabasta?!"
"Ah, now that you mention it, I remember now, it's the Kung Fu Manatee." Nami also remembered.
"It was him." Sanji exhaled a puff of smoke and said.
"Oh, so it's those turtles." Zoro sheathed his sword.
Chapter 157 Stepping into Dressrosa
"I'm leaving this guy to you guys. I'm going back to sleep. I haven't slept in over a hundred years." Lin Qing yawned, tossed Breed onto the deck, and then lay down to sleep.
"Lin Qing is more reliable. Look at you guys, none of you have any brains," Nami mocked Luffy and his crew.
"Ah, I remember now, you're the Kung Fu Manatee from Alabasta!" Luffy suddenly remembered.
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
The rabbit carrying Caesar jumped directly behind the Kung Fu Manatee, and many other sea creatures also jumped out of the sea and stood behind the Kung Fu Manatee.
"Eeya eeya eeya!" The Kung Fu Manatee and the sea beasts behind it all bowed to Luffy.
The others stared at them blankly, wondering why they were bowing. Chopper then stepped forward to explain.
"It said, 'Long time no see, Master.'"
"I miss it so much! How are you?" Luffy grabbed Kung Fu Dugong's hands and jumped up and down happily.
"Hey, you guys got along really well so quickly?" Chopper shouted angrily when he saw Luffy ignoring him.
"What happened?" Law looked down at Chopper and asked.
“Oh, that guy is the kung fu dugong who became friends with Luffy in Alabasta,” Chopper explained.
"Then why did that Straw Hat's disciple come to the New World? And why did he kidnap one of our important hostages?" Law asked, staring at the Kung Fu Manatee with a gloomy expression.
Caesar has been released and is now huddled in a corner, trembling with fear, completely devoid of his previous arrogant attitude.
"Ah, ee-ya ee-ya!" The Kung Fu Manatee lowered its head.
"Um, I didn't know it was Master's ship that was attacked. I'm really sorry, there's a lot of reason behind this."
"Actually, after my master said, 'Pirates are free, the sea is vast and very interesting,' I came to the sea alone."
"Then I gradually met many companions, and finally I formed the Sea Beast Pirates. After many hardships, we finally arrived in the New World."
“But then that man, Breed, appeared, and we became his slaves. It was Breed’s order that we kidnapped Caesar,” Chopper translated.
"I see. It seems that Breed is truly despicable," Chopper said angrily.
"Kung Fu Manatee, you guys have really suffered." Nami ran over and patted the Kung Fu Manatee's head to comfort him.
"Haha, it's all over now. Lin Qing caught Breed, so you guys can beat him up and vent your anger," Luffy said, pointing at Breed.
All the sea creatures were saying goodbye to Luffy and his crew from the sea, "Eeya eeya eeya".
"It said that if we keep going, we'll soon reach Dressrosa," Chopper translated.
"Goodbye, take good care of your training, and I look forward to seeing you again," Luffy shouted to them.
After saying goodbye, the Kung Fu Manatees dived into the sea and disappeared, embarking on their own adventure.
At the same time, the sun slowly rose.
A small black dot flew over from a distance, "smack!"
A news-delivering gull dropped a newspaper onto the deck. Brooke walked over and picked it up: "Gentlemen, the morning paper is here." A group of people gathered around to look at the paper.
"Donquixote Doflamingo withdraws from the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"Giving up the throne of Dressrosa? What's going on?"
"The throne? So he was a king before?"
"King, he is the king, could it be from that bird kingdom?"
