Next Plan

Both of them woke up, and she was bombarded with their romantic moments.

Well, it was mostly Robin crying for what Luffy did for her. This made her give a thumbs-up to Luffy.

Although Robin didn't have that much a very good relationship with the people of Ohara, the professors were close to her.

So, this was more of a revenge for those professors than for the ordinary people of Ohara.

Luffy taking revenge for his girlfriend made it a sweet story for Nami. Although she was fed up with their open romance, like kissing, she still didn't leave the room.

But it didn't mean she wasn't reluctant to stay there.

The moment she heard Luffy's words, she rushed out of the room and saw Liam on the deck.

She jumped into his arms and embraced him tightly.

"Did you miss me?" Liam chuckled as he tightly hugged her.

"Humph! I was hoping to see you when I woke up."

Nami could only say this. After all, this was an important mission. If it wasn't completed, Sanji's foster father's life would be in jeopardy.

Liam also understood what Nami was complaining about and softly said.

"I can't send Zoro and Sanji together with Kuma. While three of them might have more than enough to finish the job, Zoro and Sanji need serious training for the next battle."

"Besides, these people fall into the category of 'I hate them'. If Zoro went with Kuma, Sanji would definitely follow. And, Sanji's presence will be a problem."

"He is a very kind person. So, he won't feel good about it if he sees the result."

"Shishishi! You are right, Liam." When Luffy heard Liam praising Sanji, he immediately nodded with a smile.

"Captain, the Gear Fifth looks good on you."

Liam waved toward Luffy.

"Hehehe! Right? I feel so free, like I can do anything." Luffy nodded his head like a chicken pecking on rice.

"And! Me! Me! I also want to be free just like that. Captain, please teach me!"

Bonney rushed toward Luffy and raised both of her hands, excitedly.

When Luffy awakened, the most excited person wasn't Kuma or Liam or even Luffy.

It was Bonney who grew up imagining Nika.

"Don't worry, Bonney! You will succeed one day." Robin chuckled and brought the little girl to her embrace.

Although she was seriously injured, the injuries healed quickly thanks to Law and Kuma's powers, together with Chopper's medical expertise. Of course, Law also had a lot of medical knowledge.

But there was a big gap.

Law focused more on combat and only learned medicine to cure himself. He also learned most of it on his own and from his family when he was very young.

On the other hand, Chopper learned medicine to cure others and focused most of the time on it. He also learned under the tutelage of one of the greatest medical experts in the world.

So, Law didn't get any chance to show off his medicine in front of Chopper.

He mainly used his powers together with Kuma to help Chopper prepare medicine to heal the crew.

This worked because Kuma would take out a small portion of the injuries, which Law could transfer to a sea creature or fish, and Chopper prepared medicines.

Robin, Vivi, and Luffy were injured the most.

While others also got injured, they were healed pretty quickly, almost the same day.

"Of course, I will."

Bonney proudly raised her head. But deep down, she made up her mind to practice with her Devil Fruit more and use that ability.

Liam had already given her the full vision of her ability. Now, she just had to find a way to develop it.

After all, even Liam didn't know how she developed it.

"By the way, didn't you say you would arrive before nightfall? Why did you arrive so soon?"

Nami curiously asked. She didn't even leave his embrace.

"Well, something came to my mind. I forgot about something important. Our next crew member."

Liam's words immediately attracted Luffy's attention.

"Who is it? Let's go find him."

Luffy asked with a hurried tone.

"He is imprisoned."

Liam flatly rejected Luffy's idea. Not to mention, they couldn't find him, even if they could, he wasn't sure that Jinbei would join him.

Only Kuma had a high chance of finding Jinbei on time.

"Where?" Luffy tilted his head and asked.

"Impel Down, with your brother!"

Liam answered immediately.

This made Luffy's face sink before he remembered something and excitedly said.

"Then, let's storm Impel Down, rescue my brother, and this Jinbei."

"Liam, is this Jinbei?" Nami softly asked. Although there wasn't much hatred towards the fishman due to Kemi and Liam, she still didn't like them that much.

"Umm! He is an important person for the crew. Our crew has taken the elite route."

Liam spoke.

Before he could continue, Luffy raised his hand and asked.

"What does Elite Route mean?"

Liam helplessly sighed and said.

"Elite Route means that most of us are extremely good at something and can also fight powerful people."

"Oh! Like me. I am extremely good at eating, and I can fight anyone now."

Luffy proudly stated.

"Luffy, please shut up!"

Robin softly spoke, but her tone frightened Luffy as he quickly crouched down and started drawing on the deck.

"Well, Luffy is not wrong. He is good at eating." Liam chuckled and continued.

"Since our crew has taken an elite route, we need powerful and skilled crew members. We already have most of the positions filled. Now, we just need a helmsman."

"I am not underestimating Franky here."

Franky, who was building something inside the Sunny, suddenly shuddered.

"But he is a shipwright, not a helmsman. Just like Usopp can build things, he can do the same. But that doesn't make Usopp a shipwright. He is a sniper."

"Just like that, our position of helmsman has been occupied by Franky because we lack one. So, we need Jinbei especially when many of us already already Devil Fruit users."

"Jinbei is also a strong fighter, and has the power to fight any Emperor Commanders, maybe even win against some. Besides, he is a respectful person who loves his kind very much."

At this moment, Liam turned toward Nami and said.

"When he freed Arlong, he did it because Arlong had been with him for a long time. It's similar to Zoro and Sanji's relationship, except Arlong was a bad seed from the beginning."

"I know. I won't hate other fishman for what Arlong did."

Nami nodded and softly spoke.

"So, how are we going to save him?"

Robin asked, going straight to the point.

"With him!"

Liam pointed at Kuma.

"Even with my power, I can't enter Impel down so easily." Kuma replied.

"Don't worry, during the war, it will be very chaotic. Blackbeard has already set his eyes on the criminals of Impel Down. He will invade Impel Down, and you can take this opportunity to sneak in."

"Besides, your friend Ivankov has stayed in Impel Down for too long. It's time for them to escape Impel Down. Bring them directly to the war with Jinbei."

"You have to be careful, though. There are many tough people in Impel Down."

Hearing that, Kuma understood how he needed to enter Impel Down.

"Don't worry, I know."

"You need to take this."

Liam took out a card and threw it at Kuma.

"What is this?" Kuma was confused by this card. He didn't know a lot about Liam's power.

"An ability of my Devil fruit. I have stored Vivi's Sand Fruit powers in that. You can use her ability while holding this card, but it can only be used five times."

"And, the amount of sand you can produce depends upon your surroundings and your physical strength."

Liam explained.

"Your Devil Fruit is very powerful."

This was the first time he had heard of a Devil Fruit that can take the power of other Devil Fruits and let anyone use it without restrictions.

"I know. There is a high chance that the Shiryu, the warden of Impel Down, might revolt against the Magellan. So, you need to time your invasion perfectly."

"You need to free your teammates first, but don't enter the Sixth Floor until Shiryu has left the Sixth Floor. And, you must come out of that floor before Blackbeard enters."

"Otherwise, he might target your Devil Fruit there."

Hearing his warning, Kuma nodded. He was a cautious guy, so he wouldn't be reckless enough to appear in front of Blackbeard and fight him.

"By the way, Liam, wasn't this Blackbeard the same guy who defeated Ace?"

Luffy asked.

He had been quite curious about his brother's information, so he asked Robin to tell him everything.

From her explanation, he learned a lot about Ace's situation and even Marine's intention of executing Ace in front of the world.

If they had done it in secret, he might not have known until his death, and could only avenge him later.

But since they were doing it openly, he must save Ace.
