Perona felt that the past two days had been the unluckiest days of her life.
First, Moria-sama had been summoned by the Marines to Mary Geoise to participate in so so-called war.
As a result, the entire Thriller Bark had beco devoid of any normal person she could talk to, leaving her with nothing but Kumashi to keep her company in her room.
Then, yesterday, while she was enjoying her afternoon nap, a strange man suddenly barged into her room.
Without saying a word, he knocked her unconscious and kidnapped her onto a ship.
When she woke up, she had already arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago.
And as if that weren't bad enough, that detestable criminal had actually put a collar around her neck as if she were so kind of pet and tightly bound her delicate arms behind her back.
But the most humiliating part of all was that their arrival had been so high-profile that a large crowd of tourists on Grove 30 had gathered around to watch.
Her disgraceful appearance had been exposed to everyone!
"You damned monkey! I'm really angry now!"
"Go, my Negative Ghosts!"
Feeling as though all her dignity had been stripped away, Perona unleashed a translucent ghost from her body and sent it hurtling toward Peter.
The other won showed no intention of helping.
Nami even waved playfully from behind and teased,
"Looks like your little girlfriend is angry. You deal with her yourself."
"We're going off to have fun first."
With that, she eagerly set off to explore Sabaody.
Peter rely glanced backward from the corner of his eye.
Just as the ghost was about to hit him, a mischievous grin appeared on his face.
In an instant, he vanished and reappeared several ters away.
As a result, the spot he had been standing in beca vacant—
And Nami happened to be standing directly in the ghost's path.
The next mont...
The ghost passed straight through her body.
Nami froze.
Then she slowly dropped to her knees, her face filled with despair.
"I... am weak and greedy..."
"I don't deserve to live in this world..."
"I should disappear like a useless parasite..."
Silence filled the air for a brief mont.
Then everyone burst into laughter.
Carina laughed the hardest, clutching her stomach.
"Hahahaha! So you finally admitted it! That's completely true!"
Vivi tried desperately to hold back her laughter, but tears still stread down her face.
"N-No, don't say that, Nami... you're useful sotis..."
"Hahaha!"
Nojiko, Mikita, and the others were laughing just as hard.
Even Robin and Tina nearly lost their composure.
As for Nami, she regained her senses monts later.
But at that mont, she wished she hadn't.
What did I just say?!
There's no way I actually said sothing that embarrassing!
Her spirit was completely shattered.
She remained kneeling on the ground, surrounded by an almost visible aura of depression.
anwhile, Perona couldn't help letting out her signature laugh.
"Horohorohorohoro~!"
"So? Now you've experienced my power!"
"But this isn't the end."
"I'll make all of you kneel and repent!"
The mont she finished speaking, dozens of cold, crimson eyes turned toward her.
The killing intent hidden behind those gazes made her shiver instantly.
Frightened, she hurriedly stepped backward until she bumped into sothing behind her.
In the next instant, Peter appeared directly behind her without her noticing.
In a flash, his arm wrapped around her neck and locked her firmly in place.
Perona's entire body froze.
"Nicely done, Ghost Princess."
"That was quite an entertaining show."
Peter spoke with a faint smile.
"But I'd advise you not to do that again."
"Everyone here has their pride."
"If you want to continue living peacefully, you'd better know your limits."
Perona looked at the won surrounding her.
Everyone was smiling.
Yet sohow, those smiles felt more terrifying than outright anger.
She swallowed nervously.
"I-I understand..."
"I understand! I'll behave myself!"
"Just let go!"
"I don't think this child is suitable for joining our group."
Robin spoke with a gentle smile.
"Perhaps it would be better to dispose of her here."
Almost instantly, several won raised their hands in agreent.
Even Tina and Stussy looked ready to take action.
But suddenly, Nami, who had still been kneeling on the ground, slowly raised her head.
A pair of eyes burning with rage ca into view.
Then, Crack!
Sothing inside her snapped.
"...!"
"What is this pressure?!"
Everyone sensed sothing unusual.
Kalifa quickly turned around.
"That's... an incredibly powerful aura!"
The next mont, Nami shot forward like a missile, charging directly toward Perona.
Carina imdiately shouted,
"She's snapped!"
"Nami's gone into battle mode!"
"That girl's finished!"
But Kaya quickly yelled,
"Stop, Nami!"
"Don't kill her!"
Unfortunately, Nami could no longer hear anyone.
Only a single thought remained in her mind.
I'm going to kill the girl who humiliated !
"Photon Art: Gravity Cannon!!!"
She brought her palms together and launched a massive sphere of energy toward Perona—
And Peter as well.
Although Perona didn't understand the technique, her instincts scread at her to run.
But she was still completely restrained by Peter.
"S-Stop her!"
"We'll both die!"
Yet Peter didn't move.
Instead, he calmly said,
"You're far too lightweight compared to the others before you."
"W-What?!"
Before she could protest, the attack had already arrived.
At that mont, Peter casually raised one hand and slapped the energy sphere aside.
BOOM!!!
The projectile exploded in the sea, creating a gigantic wave that soared dozens of ters into the air and sent artificial rain pouring down across a vast area.
Perona stood frozen in horror.
What kind of monsters have I gotten involved with?!
Nami charged forward again in a frenzy.
But Vivi and Nojiko quickly restrained her from behind.
"Calm down!"
"That's enough!"
"You're going to cause trouble with Peter!"
Yet Nami continued screaming,
"Let go!"
"I'm killing her today!"
anwhile, Peter chuckled.
"Huh?"
"It seems Nami has entered a new stage."
"Could she be transforming into a Super Saiyan of Rage?"
"You idiot! This isn't the ti for jokes!" Nojiko shouted.
Peter rely shrugged.
Then he suddenly removed Perona's restraints.
"Here's your chance."
"Run."
Perona didn't hesitate for even a second.
She fled at top speed.
"Moria-sama!"
"Save !!"
A short while later, the group began splitting up, each heading off to enjoy Sabaody in their own way.
Only Peter and Stussy remained together.
"It seems we'll get so quality ti alone."
"Oh?"
"That sounds nice."
"Let's head to the black market district."
Elsewhere in Sabaody...
A new force was beginning to move.
The Celestial Dragons had entered the ga.
And chaos was about to begin.
