"Enough already, you idiot!" Zoro yelled as he kicked Luffy, sending him flying into the approaching Baroque Works agents. All three were knocked into the rubble together.

"Seems like I'll have to get rid of you two nuisances first!" Mr. 5 climbed up from the ground, casting a glance at Luffy, who was still lying on the ground.

"Hahaha, alright then! If that's what you want, I won't argue!" Miss Valentine floated above Zoro, holding an umbrella. She had the powers of the Kilo-Kilo Fruit, allowing her to control her own weight.

"Mr. Swordsman, get out of the way!" Vivi shouted in warning, seeing that Miss Valentine was descending over Zoro.

"This isn't the time to dodge!" Zoro's eyes were fixed in the direction where Luffy had been kicked. There, Luffy had grabbed the unconscious Mr. 5.

Meanwhile, on the ship, Ryu had casually made himself some food. After eating, he felt some of his strength returning, and that's when he remembered he had potions to restore vitality and stamina in his backpack.

Ryu typically avoided relying on external aids, so he never used these potions in battle. But for recovery after injuries, they worked well. After drinking a healing potion and eating two drumsticks and a bowl of fried rice, his life and stamina were mostly restored, though his internal energy had yet to recover.

But Ryu had no intention of using pills to restore it. Restoring his internal energy was also a form of training. Training on an empty internal reservoir actually yielded the best results.

"Well, time to check in on our lovely princess!" Now that he was fed and rested, Ryu left the ship and headed toward the island.

"Heh, let's see who's stronger: a swordsman or a martial artist!"

When Ryu found Luffy and Zoro, they were in the middle of a duel. Seeing Nami approach, Ryu decided not to get closer; that girl had the power to keep this entire crew in check!

"I remember Robin makes her appearance around this time, right?" Satisfied that things were under control, Ryu turned his gaze toward the coastline.

"Oh, I see. So because of the internal conflict, your country doesn't have much money?" After getting Luffy and Zoro under control, the group found a place to sit and talk. Vivi shared her story, and Nami immediately deduced that the princess wasn't capable of paying them a hefty sum of 1 billion berries.

"Huh? So who's the boss of this Baroque Works you're talking about?" Luffy asked curiously.

"I can't say. That's the one thing I absolutely can't tell you. If I told you, you'd be in danger too!" Vivi said, quickly waving her hands.

"Fine by us! Anyone trying to take over a country has to be powerful, right?" Nami nodded with a smile.

"Yes, while you're strong, you're definitely not a match for Sir Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea!" Vivi said earnestly.

A brief silence followed before Zoro muttered, "Didn't you just say it?"

"No worries, no worries! No one else is around to hear this. Just pretend you didn't hear anything, okay?" Vivi realized her slip-up and hurriedly apologized.

Nami, who had been feeling hopeless moments ago, perked up. But before she could say anything, the sound of flapping wings interrupted them.

"What's with that otter and vulture?" Nami asked curiously, pointing at an otter perched on a vulture.

"T-That's Unlucky, one of our boss's messengers!" Vivi replied in surprise.

"What? Does that mean they're going to report everything back to your boss?" Nami nearly lost it. Why did things like this always happen to her?
