Phoenix Reborn In One Piece

After nearly five days of sailing, the group finally reached the waters of Clover Island.

At this moment, Ryuen, Nami, and Nojiko were hanging out on the lookout, enjoying the sea breeze and chatting idly.

"Captain Gulachi, is your information wrong? We haven't encountered any pirates on this trip!" Ryuen couldn't help but complain. Nami and Nojiko also expressed their disappointment with the journey.

Captain Gulachi laughed, "You little ones, isn't it good not to encounter pirates? This way, everyone stays safe, and I promised you won't lose a single berry!"

Despite having Ryuen and the others as guards, fighting pirates still carried risks.

Captain Gulachi was secretly relieved. If these three kids got hurt on the way, Bellemere wouldn't let him off easily when they returned to Cocoyasi Village.

However, Ryuen and the others clearly didn't think the same.

They all rolled their eyes at Captain Gulachi, thinking: Encountering pirates and not encountering pirates are completely different! Only by encountering pirates could they show their strength, defeat those nasty pirates, and seize their tempting treasures!

Just then, a suspicious ship appeared on the distant sea, with a clear skull flag on its sail.

Little Nami's eyes lit up, and she excitedly pointed at the ship, "Look! Is that a pirate ship?"

Captain Gulachi quickly picked up his binoculars and saw the figures on the ship. His expression became serious, "It seems our luck is good; we've really encountered pirates. But everyone, stay alert and prepare for battle!"

He said this to the sailors and guards on the ship, while Ryuen and the others had their own battle plans.

Seeing the pirate ship approaching, Ryuen, Nami, and Nojiko quickly climbed down from the lookout, each preparing to face the upcoming challenge.

Ryuen also recognized who the pirates were. The three sails had black cats, and even the bow was shaped like a black cat. This must be Kuro of a Hundred Plans!

This ship was their Black Cat Pirate Ship!

Kuro of a Hundred Plans, the one said to be the second smartest person in the world according to Oda! But Ryuen thought this second smartest person didn't seem very smart...

"Captain Kuro, the merchant ship is within our firing range!" a pirate shouted, looking at the distant merchant ship.

"Then fire first, stop their ship, and be careful not to damage my ship!" Kuro pushed his glasses with his palm, his expression very calm.

"Captain, your ship?" The pirate was confused.

"Idiot!"

"If Captain Kuro wants it, then it's definitely Captain Kuro's! Start firing!" Jango said, kicking the slow-witted pirate.

Seeing this, Kuro gave Jango an approving look.

"Yes!"

"Vice-Captain Jango!" The pirate finally understood.

Then a few pirates started operating the cannons, firing at the merchant ship opposite them. Amidst the cannon fire, Kuro's great ambition was hidden.

"Boom!"

"Boom boom boom!!"

The cannonballs hit the water around the merchant ship, creating huge water columns seven or eight meters high.

On the merchant ship, Captain Gulachi saw the cannon fire and got a bit nervous. The pirates were trying to stop their ship and then rob them!

"Captain Gulachi, the cannon fire is too strong!" The guards hid behind the ship's rail and shouted back to Captain Gulachi.

Their merchant ship had only one cannon, while the other side had six. The guards and sailors on the merchant ship were suppressed and couldn't lift their heads.

Captain Gulachi was also scared by the fierce cannon fire. He instinctively looked towards Ryuen and the three kids, but they were gone, which made him feel a bit more at ease.

"Don't worry, Ryuen and the others have already taken action! Hold on! Don't let the pirates get close!" Captain Gulachi shouted.

"Yes!"

"Captain Gulachi!"

Hearing that Ryuen and the others were taking action, everyone felt confident and continued to operate the only cannon to fight back.

"Captain Kuro, they still want to fight back. It seems they don't want our pirate ship to get close!" Jango was a bit surprised, looking at the merchant ship. Usually, when they fired all six cannons, the merchant ship would stop in fear.

"Then, show them what we've got!" Kuro said calmly.

"Yes!"

"Attention, extend the cannon fire, show them what we've got!" Jango shouted to the pirates operating the cannons.

"Yes, Vice-Captain Jango!"

The pirates started firing at the merchant ship!

"Boom!"

"Ah!!!"

A cannonball hit Captain Gulachi's deck, creating a big hole and injuring several sailors!

"Damn it!"

"Damn pirates!"

"Doctor! Save them! See how they are!"

"Don't stop firing! Don't let the pirates board the ship!"

"Yes, Captain Gulachi!"

Inside the cabin of the Black Cat Pirates' ship, the three kids were busy searching for valuable items.

"Nami, are you done? Captain Gulachi and the others can't hold on much longer!" Nojiko whispered.

"Done!"

"Ryuen, Nojiko, we can go help Captain Gulachi fight the pirates now!" Nami shouted excitedly, her face full of joy from finding treasure.

"Okay! But this time I'll go alone. You two go back to the merchant ship!" Ryuen said seriously.

"Huh?"

"Why?" Nami and Nojiko were confused. They wanted to fight too!

"Just listen to me. Hurry, the merchant ship needs you too!" Ryuen urged them to leave.

"Well... okay, Nojiko, let's go back." Nami obediently opened the space door, and the two girls walked in with confusion.

Ryuen wanted Nami and Nojiko to gain some experience in fighting, but he was worried they might get hurt by Kuro's silent steps.

Seeing Nami and Nojiko leave, Ryuen's hands burst into flames. With a wave of his hand, the cabin was instantly set on fire!

Ryuen calmly walked to the middle of the ship through the flames.

"Flame Emperor: Fire Fist!"

"Boom!!"

The cabin of the Black Cat Pirates' ship was directly pierced, and a burst of flames shot up from inside the cabin, reaching the sky!

"Awesome!"

"Ryuen made his move!"

Seeing the flames on the pirate ship, the people on the merchant ship immediately shouted excitedly.

On the shaky deck of the Black Cat Pirates' ship, all the pirates were dumbfounded by the scene before them.

"How... how could this happen..."
