Recruit Luffy at the start and build the strongest navy.

Chapter 133 Don't come any closer!

"That might not work!"

A slight smile appeared on Kyle's lips.

"Chopper isn't a pet, he's a member of our team, our comrade!!"

! !

Chopper, who was about to continue struggling in Garp's grasp, stopped struggling immediately upon hearing these words, turned to look at Kyle, and tears welled up in his eyes.

"Kyle~~~"

Chopper was deeply moved.

Although Kyle had previously stated that he was their comrade, Chopper still couldn't help but tear up when he heard Kyle say the same thing in front of others.

But his feeling of being moved did not last long.

Because Kyle's voice came again.

"Besides! Even if Chopper is to be a pet, he'll still be mine. You can't find such an adorable tanuki anywhere!"

"Besides, it can also be used as emergency food; it might even save your life in a critical moment!"

Chopper: (⊙o⊙)…

Chopper, who had just calmed down, suddenly erupted again, baring his teeth and roaring wildly:

"Kyle, I'm %￥#@*&……"

-

High above, the group continued their chase game with Sabo.

When Sabo reappeared in the same spot, he taunted the crowd:

"Hahaha... I ate the same Devil Fruit power as Kyle, you bunch of weaklings think you can catch me? Dream on!!"

"Even if you had a hundred years, you still wouldn't be able to catch me, hahaha..."

Sabo hovered in mid-air, hands on his hips, laughing loudly.

So what if you can't beat me? Go ahead and catch me if you dare! If you can't catch me, you can't hit me, and if you can't hit me, it means you haven't defeated me.

So let's change it up a bit: he fights everyone alone, and they all end in a draw!

Thinking of this, Sabo's lips curled into a smile once again.

The eldest brother defeated everyone, the second brother fought to a draw, the third brother...

Forget it, it's just a roadside stall, let's not talk about it!

On the other side, seeing that they couldn't catch Sabo for a long time and hearing Sabo's taunts, everyone's expressions turned somewhat ugly.

Suddenly, as if he had thought of something, Law called out to Luffy beside him:

"Luffy, throw a punch to your left!!"

"Um?!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy was stunned for a moment, but he immediately reacted. Without asking why, he suddenly swung his right hand, as if pumping air into his arm. The next second, his skin turned a light pink and released a faint steam.

Armament Haki enveloped his right fist, and he slammed it out to the left.

"Rubber rubber... Eagle rifle!"

At the same time, Luo also turned his wrist.

"ROOM!"

The pale blue domain instantly expanded, enveloping Sabo, who was not far away.

Sabo's expression changed instantly; he understood what Luo wanted to do almost immediately.

Having spent so much time with Law, he naturally understood his fighting style perfectly, and immediately wrapped his body in Haki in an attempt to resist.

but--

It's completely useless!

"Slaughterhouse!"

With a whoosh, Sabo's figure vanished from his spot and reappeared in the path of Luffy's punch, making it look as if Sabo himself had come to catch Luffy's punch.

At such close range, Sabo had no time to transform into lightning and escape.

bang——

A dull thud followed as Luffy's punch landed squarely on Sabo's stomach. In an instant, Sabo's entire body caved in at the stomach, shrinking up like a cooked shrimp.

His body flew backward instantly, leaving a trail in the air.

The rest of the group, except for Law, did not hesitate at all upon seeing this, and immediately rushed forward, charging towards Sabo.

Luo remained behind, his eyes flashing with disdain and his mouth uttering sarcasm.

"If I can't move old man Garp, I can at least move you? What are you pretending for??"

As soon as he finished speaking, Law flipped his fingers again, and his figure disappeared from the spot, appearing in front of the flying Sabo.

This is what they call "coming from behind to achieve the fastest result"!

"Nisuchi!!"

"Ah~~~~~~"

-

I don't know how much time passed.

"Let me introduce you to our new partner—Tony Tony Chopper!"

Kyle pulled Chopper along and introduced him to everyone.

"Hello... I'm Chopper!"

Chopper glanced timidly at the crowd.

Why is she timid?

Because everyone was staring at him in utter astonishment, surrounding him, their faces full of curiosity.

"A talking... tanuki?!"

Luffy stared wide-eyed at Chopper, taking a thorough look at him.

Zoro: "This is interesting. There's actually a species like this!"

Sanji: "Indeed, I wonder what this special species would taste like as food!"

Zoro: "I think we should give it a try!"

Chopper: !!! !!! !!!

At this moment, everyone in Chopper's eyes was a sinister, grinning demon, especially Zoro and Sanji, who were the leaders of the demons.

Chopper yelled and immediately shrank behind Kyle.

Then came the classic half-body peeping technique, trembling as he observed everyone.

Everyone: ...

"Um... I think you should move to the other side!"

Ace pointed at Chopper and spoke.

Chopper: ...

After hearing this, Chopper silently shrank back inside, then correctly only poked his head out.

. . . .

A silence fell over the air.

After a while~

"This is so much fun!!"

Luffy suddenly shouted, staring at Chopper with shining eyes, looking as if he wanted to devour Chopper whole.

The others were in the same boat, their eyes fixed intently on Chopper, filled with curiosity and excitement.

Gudong! !

Seeing the wolf-like appearance of the crowd, Chopper couldn't help but swallow hard.

"What...what are you trying to do?!"

"What are we going to do? Hehehe...hehehehe..."

Luffy chuckled sinisterly, then lunged at Chopper.

Chopper was startled and jumped up.

Luffy missed his target, but he didn't give up and continued to reach for Chopper.

Chopper's face turned pale, and he immediately ran away, shouting:

"Don't come any closer!!"

"Don't go! Let me catch you and have some fun!!"

Luffy shouted excitedly from behind.

Oh, it wasn't just Luffy; everyone was shouting and yelling behind him, chasing after Chopper with excited expressions.

Garp was even among them.

At this moment, only Kyle and Sabo remained calm in their original spot, making no move.

Sabo was bruised and battered, but he still looked at everyone with disdain:

"Tch! Look at them, so unsophisticated!"

He'd done catching Chopper countless times on his way back!

Kyle watched this scene with a faint smile on his lips.

It's more fun to be with so many people!

Suddenly, Kyle felt a warmth in his arms, his brow furrowed slightly, and he reached into his pocket...
