The last demon in the One Piece world

Chapter 93: Take to the Sky! Ride the Knock-Up Stream

It is now morning.

Luffy had gotten on Yushiro's back, since he was faster, and Yushiro ran as fast as he could to get to Cricket's house.

Luffy was laughing happily since Yushiro was super fast.

"HEYYYYYYYYYY!", Luffy called out to the Straw Hats with a giant grin.

The crew turned around to see Yushiro rushing towards them with Luffy on his back.

"It's them! Thank goodness! They're back!", Masira grinned at the sight.

"I DID IT!", he yelled, holding a beetle in his hands.

"Luffy! Yushiro!", Sanji called out to them. "Hurry! We're behind schedule!"

Luffy's grin turned wider as he waved around the beetle he had in his hand.
"A Hercules! It took me forever to find one!"

Yushiro put his hand from Luffy's leg into his pocket and raised it, showing them a beetle he caught.
"I also caught a serpent beetle. It looks pretty.", he informed in a not so exciting tone as Luffy's.

Nami, Zoro, and Usopp's jaws dropped at the sight.
"YOU GUYS WERE LOOKIG FOR BEETLES?!"

Luffy then jumped off Yushiro's back and stared at the Going Merry.

Yushiro followed his gaze and deadpanned.
"Is that a freaking chicken?"

Luffy's eyes turned into sparkles.
"WHOA! AWESOME!"

Usopp raised an arm to the Going Merry, presenting it like it was some kind of masterpiece.
"It's the Going Merry Flying Model!"

"IT LOOKS LIKE IT CAN FLY!", Luffy was so excited.

"Doesn't it?!", Usopp matched Luffy's excitement. "They did it for us!"

Then all of the monkeys, including Luffy, did a monkey sound and a monkey move.

"Look at them go.", Sanji sweatdropped.

Yushiro stood next to Nami and Zoro.
"But.... chickens can't fly.", he said as he released the serpent beetle and it ran away.

"Yeah.. and seeing that makes me feel uneasy....", Nami huffed out.

"I agree. Even a pigeon would've been better than a chicken...", Zoro said with a nod as he crossed his arms.

"THAT'S NOT THE MAIN ISSUE HERE💢! YOU'RE AN IDIOT!", Nami snapped at him.

"Alright!", Usopp spoke up. "Let's set sail! Ready, men?!"

"AYE, AYE, SIR!"

Yushiro walked over to Luffy and nudged him.

"Hm? What?", Luffy asked.

Yushiro then pointed at the bag he was carrying.

Luffy realised what he was trying to say and they both ran to Cricket.

Luffy set down the bag at the cut down log, which was used as a table.

There was silence and Cricket let out a puff of smoke. His eyes were still closed.
"Get on board already! There's no time!
Or are you planning to waste your chance to go into the sky, you fools?"

Yushiro smiled fondly as Luffy grinned widely.

"Right! Thanks for the ship!", Luffy said.

Cricket put out his cigarette and pointed at the two monkey ships behind him.
"It's them you should thank."
