Chapter 250: Whoever Runs is the Inferior Pirate

Chapter 250: Chapter 250: Whoever Runs is the Inferior Pirate

...

In the end, Luffy still left. The Thousand Sunny cut through the waves and sailed toward the distance.

The lion figurehead held its head high, facing that boundless sea.

Momonosuke stood at the port, watching that ship grow smaller and smaller, farther and farther, until it finally became a tiny dot and disappeared over the horizon.

His eyes were still red, but a faint smile had already appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"We’ll meet again."

He said softly, making a silent vow as if promising himself: "Definitely."

The three of them also left the port. At that moment, not far ahead, the Thousand Sunny had actually stopped. And right beside it...

Two other ships were also clearly present — Kid’s ship and Law’s submarine!

The three ships had somehow run into each other again.

Kid’s ship was sailing at the very front. The red skull flag flapped loudly in the sea breeze.

Kid stood at the bow with his arms crossed, looking smug.

The three ships sailed side by side like this. The sea breeze blew past as the three captains’ gazes met in the air.

No matter how you looked at it, this scene was strange.

Just moments ago, they had gone their separate ways, saying things like "Next time we meet, we’ll be enemies."

Yet not long after, they had gathered together again.

"How long are you guys planning to follow us?" Kid asked impatiently.

"Who’s following you?!"

Luffy retorted with a displeased expression: "We’re just going the same way!"

Law sighed on the side. These two were really like children arguing.

At that moment, Nami came out from the cabin holding a nautical chart.

"Luffy, the route is set. We’re taking this path."

Luffy leaned over to take a look, then scratched his head: "Oh, okay!"

Nami pointed at the route on the chart and explained seriously: "This route is a bit longer, but it avoids the most dangerous whirlpool area. We can leave Wano Country safely and smoothly.

Although it’ll take half a day longer, safety comes first."

Luffy nodded to show he had no problem with it!

But just then, a sharp voice suddenly came from the side.

"Hah!"

Kid stood on his ship with a mocking smile on his face: "Looks like you guys chose the safer route!"

His voice was loud enough that everyone on all three ships could hear it clearly.

Nami frowned. She immediately had a bad feeling!

Kid continued mocking them: "But I can’t really blame you. After all..."

He deliberately dragged out his words: "Inferior pirates are just inferior pirates."

"I’m going to charge straight through!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the air froze!

The smile on Luffy’s face stiffened. Law’s gaze suddenly turned cold.

Nami’s heart skipped a beat...

Oh no!

The four words "inferior pirates" were like a thorn.

A thorn that had stabbed into Luffy and Law’s hearts.

Back in Wano Country, during that alliance battle against Kaido and Big Mom, it was these four words that had made the three of them completely lose control.

As a result, Kid, Luffy, and Law had stared each other down and charged straight in!

Now, Kid had brought up these four words again. Maybe he was just casually mocking them, or maybe he was just being foul-mouthed.

But Luffy and Law took it to heart.

"What did you say?" Luffy’s voice lowered.

Under the shadow of his straw hat, his eyes flickered with displeasure.

Kid was stunned for a moment. He hadn’t expected Luffy to react so strongly.

But with his personality, how could he possibly back down?

"I said..."

He raised his volume so that everyone could hear Kid’s mockery this time: "Inferior pirates!"

"If you’ve got the guts, then charge down the waterfall too! Don’t go around it like turtles!"

Law’s expression grew colder and colder.

Luffy turned around with a gloomy face and walked toward the ship’s wheel.

"Luffy, what are you doing?!"

Nami’s eyes widened, but Luffy had already strode toward the wheel.

"Wait wait wait!"

Nami rushed up and grabbed Luffy’s arm: "Are you crazy?! That route is way too dangerous! There are whirlpools everywhere below the waterfall! One wrong move and the ship will be destroyed and everyone will die!"

Before she could finish speaking, Usopp also rushed over and hugged Luffy’s leg.

"Luffy! Calm down! Calm down! That’s just provocation! That idiot is deliberately trying to provoke you!"

Luffy dragged the two of them along as he continued walking forward.

How could their strength possibly hold back Luffy?

Step by step, Luffy walked toward the ship’s wheel, dragging the two of them like they were little chicks.

"Luffy!!!"

Nami screamed, but she still couldn’t stop him...

On the other side, aboard the Polar Tang.

Bepo couldn’t stop Law either and could only stand to the side, constantly trying to calm him down: "Captain! Calm down! Calm down!"

Law didn’t even look at Bepo. He walked straight toward the ship’s wheel.

"I’m very calm."

"But Captain, your expression doesn’t look calm at all!"

"That’s your imagination."

Bepo was about to cry. It wasn’t his imagination!

The Captain’s expression clearly said "I’m going to fight him!"

On Kid’s ship, Kid watched the movements on the two ships opposite him. The corner of his mouth curved into a cruel arc!

As Luffy and Law violently turned the ship’s wheels, the Thousand Sunny suddenly changed direction. The Polar Tang also turned at the same time!

The two ships shot forward like arrows released from a bow, heading straight toward the waterfall!

The crew members’ screams echoed through the sky.

The three ships charged side by side toward that terrifying waterfall of Wano Country!

Wano Country’s waterfall was the only passage into this country.

Under normal circumstances, to enter from the outside, you had to have koi fish pull the ship upstream against the current.

That was already dangerous enough.

But now Luffy and the others were going downstream — charging straight down from a waterfall several hundred meters high!

"AAAAAHHHH!!!"

Nami’s screams echoed across the sky. She clung tightly to the mast, her face completely pale.

"Luffy! You idiot!!!"

Usopp curled up in a corner, muttering repeatedly: "I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die, I don’t want to die..."

Chopper was also trembling all over, looking panicked: "What do we do, what do we do, what do we do..."

Aboard the Polar Tang, Bepo was already hugging Law’s leg in fear.

"Captain! I’m scared!"

Law’s face was expressionless, but if you looked closely, the corner of his mouth was actually slightly raised.

On Kid’s ship.

Kid stood at the bow, laughing wildly: "Hahahahaha! Now this is more like it!"

The three ships charged down the waterfall side by side. At that moment, time seemed to stand still.

"AAAAAHHHH!!!"

Heart-wrenching screams rang out simultaneously from all three ships.

The Thousand Sunny plunged down from the top of the waterfall. The bow rose high before crashing heavily into the sea below.

Massive waves surged. Whirlpools churned violently.

The three ships spun within the whirlpools, rocking violently.

Nami felt like she was about to throw up. Usopp felt like he was about to die. Chopper felt like he was about to faint. The others weren’t doing much better either...!

No one knew how much time had passed.

The three ships finally broke out of the whirlpool zone. The sea surface calmed down, and sunlight fell on the decks.

Nami collapsed onto the deck, gasping for air.

"I... We’re still alive...?"

Luffy stood at the bow and looked back at the waterfall: "Hehehehe!"

He was laughing like a child.

Not far away, the Polar Tang surfaced. Law stood on the deck with his clothes completely soaked, but his expression remained calm as ever.

Kid’s ship also emerged from the other side. Kid was drenched, but he had a satisfied smile on his face.

The three captains’ gazes met in the air.

"Tch!"

Kid spat: "Not bad!"

Law gave a faint smile. Luffy grinned.

The three ships once again headed in their respective directions and went their separate ways.

This time, it was a real parting...
