"Let's not talk about this anymore. The current speed is indeed a bit slow. Plus, I'm hungry. I'm going to speed this ship up."
Lock stood up, stretched, and said with a laugh.
"Do you have a way to make this ship faster, Lock?"
"Master, we are already rowing at the fastest speed, we really can't go any faster!"
When the three pirates heard this, they thought that the other party felt that they were not rowing with all their strength, which was why he said this, so they immediately explained to Lock.
Hearing this, Lock took out his comb and combed his hair again.
"I didn't say I wanted you to row faster. With your limited strength, I don't know how long it will take to reach the shore."
"Then, sir, what do you mean?" the three pirates asked tremblingly.
Lock ignored the three pirates and looked at Zoro.
"Zoro, you better hold on to the boat and don't fall off."
After that, Lock stood in the middle of the boat and whispered:
"Ode to the Wind Wings!"
"Could it be that this gentleman in front of us is also a Devil Fruit user?"
Although the three pirates were confused, they still chose to hold on to the boat.
After all, if it were true, wouldn't the three of them fall into the sea and wait for death?
"Lock, do you have the ability to speed up the boat? But don't worry, even if you speed up the boat, I won't—hululululu—"
Just when Zoro told Lock not to worry, the boat suddenly rushed off into the distance at a speed invisible to the naked eye...
If someone could watch from the shore, they would see that everyone on the boat, except Lock himself, had a vague feeling of being torn apart by the strong wind caused by the excessive speed.
The magic used the power of the wind element to create a special energy field that enveloped the boat.
Then the energy of the wind element quickly gathered and formed a powerful whirlwind that attached to both sides of the boat like wings.
The tornado continuously absorbed the surrounding wind and converted it into thrust, then rushed away in an instant.
Shore—
"Ugh—" The three pirates lay on the ground and retched as soon as they got off the boat...
"What kind of horrible ability is this? It can make the speed of the ship so fast. I feel like my bones and flesh are about to be separated..."
The three pirates said with lingering fear.
Snap——Crackle——
Zoro patted his head, then turned his neck and looked at Lock.
"I admit that I spoke a little loudly just now, but couldn't you wait for me to shut up before speeding up the boat? I've been drinking a lot of northwest wind all the way."
Hearing this, Lock looked at Zoro in confusion.
"Why are you saying this to me? Didn't you tell me to rest assured?"
"That's true, but why didn't you tell me from the beginning that you can speed up the boat? That way you wouldn't lose that idiot."
Lock spread his hands.
"You didn't ask either."
Zoro: "..."
Although Zoro wanted to refute it, he couldn't seem to find a point to refute, so he had to give up.
Boom—
As the two were talking, there was a bombing in the town...
Zoro looked in the direction of the explosion.
"What is that?"
"That's Captain Buggy's ultimate move, the Buggy Bomb," the three pirates explained.
"It's the only thing on the Internet that can't be read backwards, and once you read it backwards, you'll inexplicably want to laugh."
Lock couldn't help but think when he heard the three words, Buggy Bomb...
"Let's go, take us to find that Buggy," Lock said to the three pirates on the ground.
"No, no, no. If I take the master's with me, Lord Buggy will kill us." The three pirates shook their heads.
"What? You think we won't kill you?"
Zoro pulled out a sword and put it around the neck of one of the pirates, and asked kindly.
The three men immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
"We will lead you, we will lead you, please don't kill us!"
After that, the three of them took Lock and Zoro to Buggy's location.
[Hello everyone, I am the fast-forwarder who specializes in helping you skip useless and embarrassing plots. I will briefly summarize what happened before Zoro and Lock came ashore.]
[Luffy was brought to the town by a giant bird. Buggy ordered his men to blow up the bird. Luffy fell to the ground and happened to meet Nami, saving her from pirates.]
[Nami invited Luffy to dinner, explained her goal to earn 100 million berries, her love for money and oranges, and her hatred of pirates. She also boasted of her superior navigation skills.]
[Luffy invited Nami to join his crew. Nami initially accepted, but upon learning Luffy was a pirate, refused—unless he fulfilled her conditions.]
[Nami planned to return a sea chart to gain Buggy's trust, then steal it and his treasure. She framed Luffy for stealing the chart, intending to present him to Buggy as a gift, and then act later.]
[End of summary]
"Since you have joined us, I will reward you with a Buggy bullet. Use it to blow up your former captain..." Buggy said, tossing a box of matches to Nami.
At this time, Luffy was tied up and locked in an iron cage.
"How about we hold the welcome party first and ignore this person?"
Nami didn't want to bombard Luffy, so she changed the subject.
Buggy's face darkened.
"This is your orientation party. Get started!"
Nami held the matches with trembling hands.
Buggy wanted Nami to kill Luffy, but she had never imagined doing so. She also didn't expect Buggy to make her do it personally...
Luffi, in the iron cage looked at Nami without saying anything.
One of the pirates snatched the match from Nami's hand.
"Nami, you're making us anxious. Let me do it..."
He lit the match and prepared to light the fuse for the Buggy Bomb.
Bang—
"Uh-huh!"
Nami, unable to watch the pirate blow up Luffy, swung a wooden stick and hit him on the head.
"What are you doing, Nami!" Buggy shouted.
"I'm sorry," Nami clasped her hands together and said.
Buggy glared.
"Can you just say sorry?"
Luffy was also shocked that Nami had saved him.
Her acting had been so convincing that if she hadn't intervened, Luffy would have believed she sold him out.
Although she technically had sold him out—it didn't count in Luffy's mind...
"Hey, you wanted to save me just now, right?" Luffy asked.
"I was just impulsive," Nami snapped. "The pirates took the lives of my most important family members. I will not associate with pirates."
Luffy looked at the burning fuse.
"The fire is on!"
Buggy growled.
"You should know when to stop fooling people, little girl! Go and gorgeously kill her!"
"Go die!"
The pirates rushed toward Nami with their swords.
Nami rolled sideways to avoid the attack, then ran to the cannon and covered the burning fuse with her hand, trying to smother it.
"AhAh"
She cried out in pain, holding the small flame tightly, enduring the burn.
"Watch out behind you!" Luffy shouted.
"Give me a glorious death!"
The pirates came up behind Nami, swords raised.
"Huh?" Nami turned, seeing the blade about to fall.
Da da da...
"Breath of Frost!"
