Grand Line’s Lord Of Shadows

On the Cocoyasi Village, the earth rumbled as the orange orchard rose from the ground.

"Boom...!" 

In the extremely shocked and somewhat frightened eyes of the villagers, Oars, who's as big as a mountain, lifted the entire orange orchard and prepared to transfer them to the Thriller Bark.

"In this case, I think you can leave with us with peace of mind, right?" Luke crossed his arms and looked at the two sisters, who were stun speechless in front of him.

Not so long ago.

After Nami killed Arlong to avenge her adoptive mother.

Although she has no favorable impression of these fishmen, she even hates them.

But she no longer vented her inner hatred unscrupulously.

Upon seeing this, the other fishmen were imprisoned directly under Luke's order.

They were prepared to be used as experimental material.

Nami also returned home, preparing to say goodbye to her sister, Nojiko.

But she never expected that Luke, who followed, directly invited Nojiko to join.

Seeing that Arlong and his gang had been eliminated, Nami actually chose to bear everything and join that Netherworld Pirate group for the sake of Cocoyasi Village.

Although Luke, Robin, Reiju, and others don't look like bad guys.

But Nojiko was naturally worried.

Seeing Luke inviting her, she joined without hesitation.

And the orange grove left behind by her former adoptive mother made her a little worried.

Originally, she just asked Luke to transplant a few orange trees to the giant ship so that they would have something to remember.

Unexpectedly, under Luke's order.

The entire orange orchard was directly raised from the ground by Oars and moved to the Thriller Bark.

"Yeah, thank you very much, Luke-sama!" 

Looking at the surprisingly young, tall, handsome figure in front of her, Nojiko expressed his heartfelt thanks.

Although, she doesn't particularly want to become a pirate in her heart.

If she wasn't worried about Nami, she would prefer to stay in Cocoyasi Village and be an ordinary person.

But Nojiko had to admit that this was the best result for Cocoyasi Village.

The other party is indeed a great benefactor to the village.

"Incredible..."

Looking up at Oars' huge figure, who simply and crudely carried the huge orange orchard and returned to the Thriller Bark, Nami couldn't help but exclaim: "In the world, except for those large sea beasts and Sea Kings, are there really such large humanoid creatures?"

"I heard from Luke that there are things bigger than it..."

Robin came over, then she smiled at the two sisters in front of her, and said: "Welcome, Nami, Nojiko!"

For these two girls with poor life experiences and ill-fated fates, she adores them very much.

Especially since she just got back from Luke.

After learning about Nami and Nojiko's experiences, she felt even more pity for them.

Of course, in Luke's words... maternal love overflows.

"We will all be partners from now on!"

"Please give me more advice!"

Reiju, Perona, Desire, and others also came over one after another and greeted the two sisters.

"Thank you, everyone; please give me more advice in the future!" Nami and Nojiko were flattered and hurriedly responded.

Looking at each other, they felt a little relieved.

From the looks of it, these pirates should be easier to get along with.

At least they won't be as cruel and violent as Arlong Pirates.

That night, with the fall of Arlong Park.

Cocoyasi Village and the surrounding villages who got the news started holding a banquet.

The Thriller Bark had already taken the loot collected from Arlong Park and headed towards the depths of the sea.

At a sumptuous dinner, a dazzling array of delicacies with fragrant aromas are delivered to the table one after another.

"Wow—" 

This made the two sisters, Nami and Nojiko's eyes light up, and their index fingers moved.

After getting along for a short time, they found that the Netherworld Pirates and Arlong Pirates were completely different, so they gradually relaxed and became less reserved.

They join Robin, Reiju, Perona, and others in dining, enjoying delicacies that they had never had access to before.

"Thanks for the dinner!"

"It's so delicious, thank you very much!"

After a while, the two sisters fill their stomachs, and they touch their round belly while feeling extremely satisfied.

Then they look at Robin, Reiju, Perona and others enjoying their meal there slowly, and felt a little embarrassed.

"It's all our own people, don't feel embarrassed, look at that..."

Robin smiled kindly and pointed to the opposite side.

The two sisters, Nami and Nojiko, looked over subconsciously.

They found that in front of Luke, they didn't know when there had been piles of plates as tall as a hill, and his slightly bulging belly was like a bottomless pit, constantly destroying the food.

All kinds of pizza, barbecue, and other food are still being served.

They couldn't help but open their mouth wide and were left speechless.

"Hehe~hehe~hehe~, Luke-sama usually trains a lot and eats an exaggerated amount of food. Just get used to it!" Perona said with a smile.

Even Bartolomeo and Desire, who just joined recently, have long been used to it, and we're not surprised by it.

"Luke-sama, Lafitte-sama, and the others are calling..."

At this time, a zombie servant who manages the Den Den Mushi trotted over.

"Hmm..."

Luke raised his eyebrows.

Although the speed of eating food has slowed down, he still has no intention of stopping: "Is there any good news? Lafitte..."

"Yes, Luke-sama..."

"Not long ago, we found the Krieg Pirates and successfully eliminated them!"

At the other end of the Den Den Mushi, in a certain sea area full of traces of battle.

A small boat is slowly heading into the distance.

Lafitte, who's on the bow, glanced at Gin while reporting: "You are really good at predicting things... After letting Krieg go, Gin has just agreed to join!"

Just now, when Krieg heard that as long as Gin was willing to join the Netherworld Pirate, they would be able to spare his life.

He immediately gave Gin a direct order, asking him to join the Netherworld Pirate.

Abandoning this conscientious subordinate who worked hard for himself in exchange for his life.

"That's good; thank you for your hard work..."

Luke nodded slightly.

He was not surprised by this result, so he asked directly: "Do you have any clues about Kuro?"

"I just got some information from the black market and am preparing to go there... It won't take too long, don't worry!"

"That's good, you should come back as soon as possible!"
