The sun shines through the gaps between the trees, shining golden yellow on everyone.

Luffy looked at Nami who was sleeping soundly in his arms. Even after falling asleep, his arms were still tightly wrapped around his body and refused to let go.

"Oh, it's such a depressing world. Is it so difficult to have unfettered freedom?"

For the first time, Luffy began to think about his dreams, his partners, and the people and things he encountered during his journey.

Seeing the moisture at the corners of Nami's eyes in his arms, Luffy gently stretched out his hand and wiped it for her.

"Luffy, are you hungry? Dad and I brought a lot of food, come and eat it?"

Rebecca smiled and opened the food box, revealing the fragrant chicken legs and snow-white rice.

Luffy smiled brightly at her and took the food from Rebecca: "Thank you, Rebecca."

Time passed slowly, and Zoro and others on the other beds gradually woke up, sat up, and saw excitement in their eyes when they saw Luffy.

Chopper burst into tears instantly, threw himself on Luffy and cried loudly.

Zoro walked over silently, reached for a bottle of wine, and poured it into his mouth.

For a moment, the atmosphere fell silent, and there was only the sound of everyone eating. Everyone else, including Luffy, seemed to have their own thoughts.

After the food brought by Rebecca was eaten, Luffy stretched out, stood up gently, picked up the sleeping Nami, placed him gently on the bed, and covered her with a blanket. And tucked in the quilt.

Zoro and others watched silently as Luffy finished all this and walked over again.

"Everyone."

Luffy looked around and glanced at Zoro, Jinbei, Usopp, Robin and Chopper one by one, and then said in a deep voice: "I'm really sorry this time, everyone, I didn't do a good job as a captain." Responsibility, to protect everyone, led to this cruel disaster."

"It's not your fault, it's because the enemy is too powerful..." Chopper immediately spoke up, but Zoro shook his head to stop him from continuing.

Luffy continued: "We have been along the way, and although there have been stumblings, fortunately, all of us survived in the end and have grown up sufficiently. It is all of you who gave me the courage and courage to continue sailing. Determination, I have always dreamed of becoming the Pirate King, because I think the Pirate King is the freest person in the world."

As he said that, Luffy paused, and his tone was a little sad: "But now, I find that the price that needs to be paid for this so-called freedom is probably unbearable. For this dream, I have gained many friendships along the way, but At the same time, if you are not careful, you will make a mistake and fall into the abyss. For example, this time, the enemy is too strong and I am too weak."

"Everyone, we can no longer rely on our passion and luck given by God to chase that illusory dream. Therefore, I now declare that the Straw Hat Pirates..."

Luffy spoke with red eyes and clenched his teeth, as if he had used all his strength to squeeze out two words from between his teeth.

"Disband!"

"Luffy!"

"Luffy-kun!"

Everyone was shocked and exclaimed.Chopper cried again, holding Luffy's arm, tears streaming down his face.

Zoro drank in silence, Usopp's eyes flickered as if he was relieved, Jinbe frowned and sighed, Robin pursed his lips and said nothing.

Luffy stood up and looked up towards the sea. The sadness on his face gradually disappeared, and a look of determination slowly appeared.

"Everyone, go back to your hometown and wait for me. Wait until I am strong enough to protect everyone. No one will die in front of me anymore! Wait until I blast that evil Caesar away! Kill him! I will go back to where you are and invite you again, please!”

After saying that, Luffy bent down and bowed to everyone seriously.

In the silence of the forest, you can hear a needle drop.

After a long time, Zoro drank the wine in the bottle, threw the bottle away, stood up, met Luffy's eyes and said: "Luffy, I'm going back to Donghai Shuoyue Village first, I'm going to forge one, it belongs to me. With your own knife, let me know when you decide to attack that guy.”

After saying that, Zoro didn't wait for Luffy to respond, turned around and left, disappearing into the jungle.

"Zoron..." Chopper stared blankly at Zoro who was walking away, feeling lost for a while.

"Same here, I'm going back to Fishman Island first. Luffy-kun, I'm waiting for your signal. You can take this life at any time." Jinbei also stood up.

"Take care!" Luffy stepped forward and hugged Jinbei.

Then, Luffy turned his attention to Robin and asked, "Robin, what about you, do you... have somewhere to go?"

A gentle smile appeared on Robin's face, and he whispered: "I will go with you to find your father Dorag. He has a way to make you stronger."

"Yes!" Luffy nodded, then looked at Nami, Usopp and Chopper. He turned around and said to Jinbei who had not yet moved: "Jinbei, can I trouble you with something? Help me take Nana. Beautify them and send them back to their hometown?"

Jinbei said in a deep voice: "Put it on me. If you want to hurt them, you have to step on my body!"

"Thank you!"

Luffy stood up, put the straw hat on his head, and lowered the brim of the hat.

"Everyone, please don't leave this time. Wait for me to come back. This day won't be long."

Everyone was silent, watching silently as Luffy and Robin gradually walked into the depths of the Fairy Forest.

"Humph, you left without even thanking me." Manxili pouted.

Rebecca watched Luffy disappear from sight, her heart suddenly became empty, and a feeling of loss came to her heart.

Deep in the forest, far away from the place where he woke up, Luffy suddenly stopped.

Robin was startled, turned around and saw Luffy's face covered with tears, and couldn't help but tremble in his heart.

"Robin...I...I really miss you all! But, but I really have no choice. If I continue sailing, there will be fewer and fewer friends. In exchange for I don’t want freedom! Brooke is dead, Sanji was captured by the navy, Zoro lost an arm, I don’t want to lose anyone anymore, Robin, I’m so sad..."

Luffy cried, the sadness and depression in his heart completely exploded after he was far away from the crowd.

Seeing Luffy's tears, Robin felt extremely sad in his heart, and couldn't help but step forward and pull Luffy into his arms.

"Cry. Cry happily and you will feel better." Like a gentle big sister, Robin held Luffy in her arms and patted Luffy's back gently with her hands.
