  Coby knew what was ing, so even before Mihawk drew his sword, he was ready and watched the se. As Mihawk drew his bck sword, Yoru, the world seemed to pause for a moment. It was not just a on but aension of the man himself, a part of his legendary prowess. Looking at the epic se unfold, Coby's eyes shoh admiration and anticipation. He also activated his system internally, anding in his mind, "S! COPY!"

  The system sprung to life, a familiar voice eg in his thoughts. [Skill S initiated on 'Hawk Style, Flying Hawk Ssh'. Analysis in progress…] Coby watched ily as Mihawk raised his sword, the air around him seemingly charged with an invisible energy. The sword's movement was not just a physical act but a dance of death, executed with an elegand precision that only the world's greatest swordsman could achieve.

  As Mihawk's sword came down in a swift, arc, it sent a shockwave that sliced through the air and the sea itself. The power behind the attack was awe-inspiring, a dispy of sheer mastery that left no doubt as to why Mihawk held his title. Coby, despite himself, felt a shiver run down his spine as he withe attack. It was a reminder of the vast world of strength and skill he had yet to explore.

  The system tis process, [Skill essence capturing...] Coby's heart raced as he awaited the result. He khis siack, if successfully copied, could ge the tide of any battle. But his excitement was short-lived as the system delivered its verdict, [Insuffit SP. Uo copy 'Hawk Style, Flying Hawk Ssh'. Estimated cost: 37000 SP.]

  "THE FUCK IS THAT PRICE!" Coby's shoulders slumped slightly in disappoi. He had uimated the cost of copying such a powerful teique. But even in his disappoi, he couldn't help but how big the World of One Piece was. This one ssh was s, so expe was indication of the peak of power at New World. This was just another challeo overe, another milestoo rea his journey.

  As Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Sanji followed Coby outside, they were met with the sight of the Merry floating away. The realization hit them like a cold wave – Nami had stolen their ship. Yosaku and Johnny, swimming in the sea nearby, firmed their worst fears. "Nami stole the ship," they expiheir voices tinged with disbelief.

  Luffy and the others stood in shock, processing the betrayal. Coby, however, was quick to recover. His eyes shifted from the retreating Merry to the imposing figure of Dracule Mihawk standing on his small boat. Realizing he couldn't ihawk's teiques, ade a swift decisiouro Luffy, determination clear in his voice. "Captain, I'm going after Nami. You guys deal with the cook and follow me."

  Luffy, after a brief moment of ption, nodded in agreement. "Make sure t my navigator back," he said with his characteristic grin.

  Coby smirked in response, his had a good measure of his strength, and was certain he could indeed bring Nami back. "You bet your ass on it. And make sure t that cook; I don't want to lose the bet."

  Luffy's ughter, light and carefree, filled the air. "Shishishi. You bet your ass too."

  Without further dey, Coby jumped onto a small cutter and began to sail away. As he passed by Mihawk, their eyes met. Coby felt a shiver of trepidation. This was Dracule Mihawk, the World's Stro Swordsman, a man whose mere presenanded resped fear. Mihawk's smirk only added to the gravity of the moment. "Bastard," uttered under his breath as he sailed away. In his heart, he made a silent vow, "I will e back for you."

  Coby wao stay and witness Zoro's frontation with Mihawk, a battle destio be epid Luffy's battle of Will with Krieg. However, his priorities y elsewhere. In his heart, he khat in the anime, Nami was safe, but this world had shown him that not everything followed the script. But mostly, his iion was singur. He wao be the one who saved Nami. He wao shout your are my Nakama. He wao be the one who told Nami "Of course I will help you." And he wanted Nami to be his.

  As he sailed away, Coby's thoughts were double check of powers of oppos he would enter. Arlong's men were mostly on fodders, but Arlong was a little stro He steered the small cutter with a practiced hand of old Coby, as he fixed his eyes to the Merry, who was about to vanish from his sight. The ship was a lot faster after all. The wind tugged at his hair, and the spray of the sea kissed his face, he smirked, "I am ing for you, Nami."

  On the Merry, Nami's eyes glistened with uears as she gazed at the distant shore. "What a bunch of stupids," she whispered, a bittersweet smile tugging at her lips. Her voice, though low, was heavy with emotion. "If we meet again, I hope they will let me sail with them. I hope we meet again. Coby, sorry. I just 't wait to be free, Bellemere." Her words were ret and longing, the weight of her choices bearing down on her. She didn't wao betray Coby and the crew, but oher side was her vilge, home, vilgers and family.

  Nami's hands ched the ship's wheel tighter, the wood groaning under her grip. She was torween her mission to colleough moo buy back her vilge and the ued bonds she'd formed with Luffy's crew, especially Coby. The image of his fident smile and unwaveriermination fshed in her mind, causing her heart to flutter with admiration and guilt.

  Meanwhile, Coby swiftly sailed through the waves. The old Coby had knowledge about navigating, although he was nowhere close to Nami in navigation. As a result, adding having a smaller and slower boat, he was far behind Nami. But he wasn't worried. He sat back, stretched out his feet to the bulwark, and looked afar. A silhouette of an isnd started to form in the distance.

  Coby didn't charge Arlong Park directly, as that would mean c death. He had trust in his abilities but was still scious of his power. As he reached ashore on another part of the isnd, Coby saw three Fishmen standing at the dock. He smirked as he calmly stepped forward. The Fishmen, shocked for a sed, came near him in the o question this stranger.

  "Who are you?" the rgest of the three Fishmen growled, his voice deep and threatening. He towered over Coby, muscles bulging and eyes narrowing with suspi. The other two fnked him, ready to attack at any sign of aggression.

  et the Fishman's gaze, with a calm look on his face, almost teasing. "Just a traveler passing through," he replied. The Fishmen crew was strong, and he needed a pn if he was to front them and find Nami. And lots of SP.

  One of the Fishmen, with s like balls, stepped forward, his voiing as he decred, "These isnds and the entire archipego are off-limits and under Fishmen's rule." Another, with a sharp dorsal fin protruding from his back, added menagly, "Leave now or prepare to die."

  Coby's response was a simple smirk. Without a word, he activated Stealth Foot, the swift movement teique he had copied from Kuro. In a blur of motion, he drew his sword, its bde gleaming ominously in the sunlight. The Fishmen barely had time to react as oved among them, his sword fshing with deadly precisioruck them repeatedly, each cut delivered with the accurad speed.

  Blood staihe shore, painting the sand a dark crimson as the Fishmen fell one by one. Coby, his breathing steady despite the exertion, finally ceased his attacks. Without a backward g the fallen Fishmen, he sheathed his sword and walked into the vilge.

  As he moved away from the age, a system message chimed in his mind, a simple reminder of his victory and battle. [bat success! 75 SP awarded for defeating Fishmen. Current SP bance: 403.]

  Coby didn't allow himself to dwell on the victory. His focus was on finding Nami and ensuring her safety. Although he knew, he couldn't help but want to charge int Park; it was a stronghold of the Fishmen, and fronting them without a pn was suicide but he wao demolish the pce already. But he o gather information and devise a strategy first.

  Coby walked into the vilge, its once vibrant streets now a shadow of their former selves. Buildings y in ruin, their structures twisted and broken, a little demonstration of the Fishmen's destructive reign. As he navigated through the desotion, his eyes caught sight of a woman standing amidst the chaos.

  Nojiko, with her short, blue hair and striking figure, was hard to miss. She stood tall, her eyes sing the horizon with a mix of defiand weariness. She was dressed in a simple yet form-fitting top and shorts, her attire practical for the tropical climate yet atuating her curvaceous form. Her arms were adorned with intricate tattoos. Cnized her immediately from his knowledge of the One Piece world. A smirk pyed on his lips as he walked towards her.

  As he was walking, Coby noticed the shadow of a rge Fishman looming behind Nojiko. "Ah, right. She saved Usopp from this Fishman in the Anime," he recalled.

  Coby drew his sword, the bde catg the light and casting a glint across Nojiko's startled face. She had seen many outsiders e and go, most meeting grim fates at the hands of the Fishmen who ruled these parts. Her instinct was to warn him, to tell him to run before he met the same end. But as she opened her mouth to speak, she noticed him draw his on, and her heart skipped a beat. Was he ahreat? Her body tensed, ready to defend herself.
