One Piece: Invasion of the Heavens

"starving!"

Luffy, who was full of energy just now, now stuck out his tongue and looked weak.

Since entering the rebel territory, everyone has known that it is difficult to replenish supplies here. Therefore, the supplies purchased at the port must be used in a planned way.

Although he had allocated as much as possible to Luffy, Luffy's stomach was like a bottomless pit. So when he saw the town in the distance, Luffy rushed out.

No one else could stop him, but the Straw Hats were more or less used to Luffy's willfulness.

But after running around Fickwall Town for several times, Luffy only saw lifeless people and no place to eat at all.

Luffy was wandering on the street like a zombie, looking up at the sun in the sky as if he was about to cry.

Sitting on the tattered chair, Luffy felt like his soul was about to fly out of his mouth. It looks like salted fish that has been drying for several months.

At this moment, a faint fragrance drifted into Luffy's nose. Luffy's nose twitched and he struggled to open his eyes.

A stooped old woman was standing in front of him, handing over a rice ball with a kind smile.

Luffy came to life instantly and opened his mouth to bite on the rice ball. Luffy swallowed the rice ball without even chewing it.

After eating half of the rice ball, Luffy finally regained some strength and reached out to take the remaining half of the rice ball. Luffy threw the rice ball directly into his mouth.

The old woman sat next to Luffy and looked at him with a smile. Then he took out another rice ball from the small bundle he was carrying, looked at it, and handed it to Luffy.

"Young man, you must be starving! There is more here, you can eat it!"

There was no way a rice ball could fill Luffy, a big eater, and Luffy was still hungry.

After taking the rice ball, Luffy was about to put it into his mouth, but stopped in the end.

Closing his mouth, Luffy said, "Old lady, is it okay if I eat your rice balls?"

Luffy is not a fool, he also knows the situation in the town. Two rice balls may not be enough for Luffy to fill his teeth, but they may be enough for this old woman to eat for a day.

The smile on the old woman's face did not change, she took out another rice ball from her bag and showed it to Luffy, "I still have it here, feel free to eat it!"

Luffy smiled and said, "Thank you, mother-in-law, you really helped me a lot!"

With that said, Luffy took a bite of the rice ball and showed a bright smile.

The old woman had no intention of eating the rice ball in her hand, she just looked at Luffy with a smile.

Luffy's face bulged like a hamster, moving as he chewed. While eating, Luffy said incoherently: "Old lady, why don't you eat together?"

The old woman shook her head and said: "No, for people of my age, it is already a kind of happiness to see young people eating well!"

As she spoke, the old woman put the last rice ball in her hand between her and Luffy and said, "You must be starving, I'll give you this too!"

After saying that, the old woman stood up and walked away.

Luffy didn't know why, but he didn't pick up the rice ball. After thinking for a long time, he picked up the rice ball and broke it in half.

I was about to stop the old lady and hand her the big half. But suddenly someone grabbed Luffy's shoulder. Luffy looked back and saw that it was Jinbe who was following him. Behind him were the rest of the Straw Hats.

Luffy smiled and said: "It's you, listen to me, I just met..."

"Luffy, be honest with me, do you know how much effort we spent to find you!" Nami complained before Luffy could finish.

Luffy waved his hand and said, "Wait a moment, I want to...!"

But when he turned back, he found that the old woman had disappeared.

Zoro said: "Don't be willful, the ninjas have already gone to collect intelligence, we must seize the time!"

Usopp complained: "It's not you. It took us so long because you were lost. We are looking for you while we are looking for Luffy!"

Robin looked at the rice ball that was broken in half in Luffy's hand and said, "Hey, Luffy, where did your rice ball come from?"

Usopp said, "They look like ordinary rice balls. What's so strange about them?"

Sanji took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Have you not noticed yet, this town has fallen into a food shortage crisis.

Logically speaking, one rice ball is already one person's daily quota. "

The smile on Luffy's face disappeared and he said, "What are you talking about? This is a person's food for a day!"

Sanji nodded, his face not very pretty. Sanji has the deepest fear and aversion to hunger due to his childhood experiences. This city made him very depressed.

Luffy was silent, then suddenly raised his head and said, "Everyone, wait for me, I have something to do right away."

With that said, he ran out without caring about what others had to say.

Nami stretched out her hand to stop him but was stopped by Lonely. She could only complain: "Really, this guy is still so willful!"

Jinbei shook his head and said, "No, looking at Luffy's appearance, something must have happened! Let's follow him and take a look."

Luffy ignored the physical strength that had never recovered due to hunger, and directly let go of his knowledge and Haki to search for the old woman's aura.

After all, the old woman is old, so she can't walk any faster. Luffy soon spotted the old woman stumbling forward.

"Old lady, wait!" Luffy shouted, waving half of the rice ball in his hand.

When the old woman heard Luffy's voice, she stopped and turned around.

Luffy looked at the old woman's smile that never changed and laughed too.

But suddenly, Luffy saw something in the shape of a five-pointed star appear behind the old woman.

A blinding light came, and Luffy immediately realized what it was. That was the flame produced by the explosion, and the power of the explosion was spreading here.

Luffy felt that his hearing was completely lost, and his vision was also stabbed by the bright light from the explosion just now. His eyes still retained the smile that the old woman had just shown.

Then he was directly knocked away by the impact of the explosion.

I don’t know how long it took before everything calmed down. The Straw Hats finally arrived, just in time to find Luffy falling to the ground.

Everyone quickly gathered around and Jinbei helped Luffy up. Luffy's eyes had turned into circles like mosquito coils.

Just now, he used his armed color Haki to resist in time, and the power of the explosion was already at the end of the force, so he did not suffer any serious injuries, but his mind was temporarily unclear.

After a long time, Luffy heard someone calling his name in his ear.

After shaking his head, Luffy was helped by Jinpei to stand up.

"How is this going?"

Originally, although the town was lifeless, at least it was not dilapidated. But now there is only ruins left in front of us, not even a complete building.

Luffy's eyes turned cold and he stuffed the deformed rice ball into his mouth.

He turned around and said, "Everyone, I owe others three rice balls!"

Jinbei sighed and said: "I understand, just do what you want!"

"No way, who made you our captain!"

"Still so willful, but this is Luffy!"

"I never thought there was any plan with Luffy here from the beginning! Luffy won't tolerate it honestly."

Everyone laughed, and Luffy also laughed and said: "Then, let's go fight the bastard who caused the explosion together!"
