Compared To The Original Luffy, This Luffy Is Way Too Curly!

"Oh no, this is bad!!"

Luffy, who was watching the Dragon Slayer Ceremony from the sidelines, suddenly slapped his head and exclaimed.

"What's wrong?"

Zoro immediately placed his hand on his sword, and his Observation Haki was released instantly.

Usopp, Sanji, and Buggy also became alert.

"Money! So much money!"

Luffy suddenly scratched his head and grimaced, saying, "Ah! We should have kept their heads! The dragon's head is worth 20 million berries! Ahhhhh!!!"

Looking at the dragon that had slowly turned to ashes in the flames, Luffy's heart was bleeding.

Ever since he learned that pirates could exchange bounties for money, Luffy finally dared to eat openly.

But if he didn't pay attention to "earning money" in his daily life, his savings would eventually be depleted.

Just the thought of losing 20 million berries like this, Luffy was frustrated and jumped in place.

"No, we have to hurry to Dragon Park. The fishmen's heads are still there. Let's pack them up and exchange them for money!"

With this in mind, Luffy quickly pulled everyone along.

When they arrived at Dragon Park, they happened to see Nami there.

Luffy asked everyone to quickly pack the heads while he had something to ask Nami.

"Beautiful miss, did we do a good job?"

Sanji approached Nami, trying to strike up a conversation.

"That was Luffy's doing. What does it have to do with you?" Zoro directly pulled Sanji away.

"How did you get here?"

Luffy came to Nami's side and asked with some confusion.

According to reason, at this time, everyone should be participating in the Dragon Slayer Tournament.

It was very unreasonable for Nami to appear here.

"Nami isn't in the village, so I came here to check. If she's not here either, then Nami might have gone out to steal money again."

Thinking that Nami still didn't know that the whole village had regained its freedom, Nami felt extremely sorry for her.

That silly girl, she didn't know that she had targeted that group of pirates.

She didn't know how difficult those pirates were to deal with.

"By the way, I haven't properly thanked you yet, Luffy, for saving all of us..."

Suddenly remembering Luffy's great kindness, Nami knelt directly in front of Luffy.

"Hey! What are you doing!"

Luffy quickly lifted Nami up.

He said seriously, "I defeated the Dragon's group not because of your story, but because they deserved it! Relax, you don't owe me anything."

However, Nami was very persistent. "No matter what you say, you are the great benefactor of all of us in the Syrup Village."

Luffy waved his hand. "Alright, let's not talk about this. I have a question for you. I want to invite your sister, Nami, to be my navigator. Do you think she will agree?"

Upon hearing this, Nami's eyes lit up. "She will definitely agree!"

Nami's dream was something Nami knew very well.

Since she was a child, she dreamed of drawing a map of the entire world.

Previously, because of the havoc caused by the Dragon Pirates, Nami's dream had been completely locked away.

And now... the Evil Dragon Pirates have been completely wiped out!!! Nami should also go pursue her own dream~~~

And isn't a captain as righteous as Luffy the perfect captain that Nami has always dreamed of???

Thinking about this, from the bottom of her heart, Nami feels happy~~~

However... her response left Luffy stunned!

"Uh... are you sure?" Luffy looked at Nami with confusion.

"Yes! Nami's dream since she was little was to become an excellent navigator..." Suddenly, Nami explained to Luffy in detail~~~

After finishing Nami's dream, Nami excitedly patted Luffy's shoulder and said, "So, you see, you two are a perfect match, right?"

"That's true, but... I had a little unpleasant incident with Nami before. I wonder if she holds a grudge..." Luffy's face looked troubled~~~ like a frostbitten eggplant~~~

"Hahaha~~~ You see, when you're in this world, you'll eventually have to pay for your actions~~~" Nico Robin laughed.

"Who made him treat Nami-chan like that in the first place? Serves him right!" Vinsmoke Sanji said.

"Hmph~~~, now you know, my dear? Why didn't you go easy on me when you had the chance?" Nami said.

"Hahahaha!!!" Franky laughed.

Nico Robin glanced sideways and whispered, "How unpleasant was it...???"

"Very unpleasant..." Luffy replied.

So, Luffy recounted the story of how he tried to fish Nami, then used Conqueror's Haki to knock her out, and finally threw her back onto the small boat~~~

"Phew..."

Nico Robin rubbed her forehead a bit, they really were a pair of love-hate enemies~~~

She smiled and said, "I understand. Don't worry, I'll be your mediator!"

"Ahaha! Thank you so much!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy happily showed a big grin~~~

Then, he thought of something and asked, "Oh, almost forgot, where is the Marine branch base nearby?"

"Marine Base?"

Upon hearing this, Nami's face immediately showed a not-so-good expression.

Luffy sensed something from her reaction.

He had been wondering why the Marine hadn't come to rescue the Zou Archipelago for five years, and the only explanation was that the news here had been completely blocked!!!

And the ones capable of doing such a thing must be the Marine branch responsible for the security of this sea area!!

Luffy calmly asked, "Are the Marines and the Evil Dragon actually working together in this area?"

Nami was surprised, "How did you know?"

Luffy shrugged, "It's easy to guess, right~~~"

"Luffy!! Please don't do anything stupid!!" Nami's eyes suddenly filled with fear. She grabbed Luffy's arm and earnestly advised, "Listen to me, by eliminating the Evil Dragon Pirates and taking away Captain Mouse's money tree, although Captain Mouse is not happy, he can't do anything to you guys, right?"

"But if you dare to lay a hand on Captain Mouse, Marine will absolutely not tolerate it!!"

Nami wasn't trying to defend Captain Mouse, but she didn't want Luffy to face even greater persecution because of what happened in the Zou Archipelago!!

"Ahaha!! Don't worry, I'm not dumb enough to go against the Marines!" Luffy laughed and then pointed to the fishmen heads in the Evil Dragon Park behind him, "I plan to exchange these fishmen heads for bounties~~~"

Hearing what Luffy said, Nami breathed a sigh of relief, "Oh, as long as you're not causing trouble with the Marines~~~"

The next day, Luffy and his crew temporarily left Cocoyasi Village with the packed fishmen heads....

Nami still hasn't come back, but with Nokigao here, Luffy isn't too worried about anything.

Just thinking about how he coldly knocked her out back then, Luffy couldn't help but feel guilty and rub his nose...

That girl probably doesn't hold grudges, right~~~

Hmm, a girl who looks that good definitely doesn't hold grudges~~

"Look, it's right up ahead!"

Buggy pointed at a mark on the navigation chart.

This mark was made by Nokigao yesterday, indicating the location of Marine's 16th branch base.

"So many fishman pirate heads, it must be worth at least 100 million berries!!"

Usopp carried a large bag of fishman heads on his back, excitedly rubbing his hands~~

"Let's not rush, let's put the fishman heads on the deck first, and then we'll go to the 77th branch to exchange them for bounties with Commodore Blinblin," Luffy said.

Usopp was immediately stunned, "The 77th branch?"

Zoro also looked surprised, "Is it the branch where we exchanged bounties with the Black Cat Pirates last time?"

"Yes," Luffy affirmed.

When it came to Commodore Blinblin, Luffy was very approving.

Last time, after he, Zoro, and Buggy exchanged their bounties, the three of them ate at a restaurant in the town where the 77th base was located and found that everyone spoke highly of Commodore Blinblin~~

He's definitely a good person!

"Not... if we're going to the 77th branch, why did we come here...???" Buggy asked, puzzled.

"To kill people," Luffy calmly replied.

Sengoku: "What!!! That Luffy over there, he's really daring!!!"

When Sengoku saw the red Luffy speaking with such calmness, he was instantly stunned.

Monkey D. Garp: "Damn it!!! That grandson over there, he better not do anything stupid!!"

Tsuru: "Once you lay hands on the Marines, there's no turning back..."

Sakazuki: "I thought highly of him at first, but I didn't expect him to be so lawless!!!"

Gol D. Roger: "Hahaha!!! Even a blind man can see that the one who's lawless is that rat Colonel!!! The red Luffy over there is about to do something to benefit the people!!"

Marco: "It's because there are too many rat Colonels like that, that many people in the crew were forced to become pirates."

Shiki: "Kehahaha!!! Can you see it? The Marines have reached a point where they can't distinguish between right and wrong!"

Flowers please...

Rocks D. Xebec: "Hahaha! Kill! Kill all these dogs!!"

Boa Hancock: "That Luffy over there is doing the right thing~~"

Usopp: "Why did that Luffy over there suddenly change his mind??? I remember he just told Nokigao that he was going to the 16th branch to exchange bounties?"

Roronoa Zoro: "No... that Luffy over there didn't change his mind, he was originally planning to deal with the rat Colonel!"

Nami: "Yeah, the reason he said that to Nokigao was just to prevent her from worrying..."

Usopp: "That Luffy over there actually likes to lie~~"

Nico Robin:

"A kind lie is even warmer... our Captain Luffy can learn from it~~"

Monkey D. Luffy: "Om~~"

When Luffy uttered words of killing, the four people around him were all stunned!!!

Then, Luffy repeated his own speculation and Nami's words to the four people verbatim~~~

Sanji, with a cigarette in his mouth, blew out a long smoke ring: "These guys are indeed despicable!!! But... Luffy, have you really decided to take action against the Marines?"

Zoro adjusted his sword handle: "These Marines are scum, I have no objections to killing them. But Luffy, you have to think carefully. After killing the Marines, you will become a wanted criminal of the World Government. Then, you can only walk the path of a pirate. As for your grandfather..."

Zoro was the first person to become Luffy's companion. They trained together in the mountains and would chat during breaks, so they knew a lot about each other's past.

Usopp: "And also, once we become pirates, we won't be able to exchange all the bounties for pirates."

"Yeah, I've considered everything you've said."

Luffy nodded, took a few steps towards the middle of the deck, cleared some space, and then...

Did some stretching exercises~~~~

"Although it's an irreversible path against the Marines, but... I've thought carefully. The reason why the Zoumida Archipelago has been ravaged by the Evil Dragon Pirates for so many years is actually because of these scum led by Colonel Rat!"

"Although we have eliminated the Evil Dragon Pirates and brought temporary peace to the Zoumida Archipelago, who can guarantee that there won't be other pirate crews coming to harm this place in the future?"

"As long as Colonel Rat and his lackeys are still here, today it's the Evil Dragon Pirates, tomorrow it will be the Evil Tiger Pirates, Evil Leopard Pirates, Evil Dog Pirates..."

"As long as there are pirate crews willing to pay tribute to Colonel Rat, the nightmare of the civilians here will never end!"

While doing stretching exercises, Luffy said these words~~

It seemed casual, but everyone present knew that this decision was actually very difficult for Luffy!!!

Once he takes action against the Marines, Luffy won't be able to explain it to his grandfather!!!

Sanji pondered for a moment: "How about... we try reporting to Colonel Rat's superiors?"

"No need!"

After finishing the stretching exercises, Luffy turned his head to look at everyone and smiled: "What if Colonel Rat's superiors are his protectors? Although it's only a possibility, it's still a gamble~~~"

"We can afford to gamble, but the civilians of the Zoumida Archipelago can't!"

"If we lose the gamble, although we won't be affected at all, the civilians of the Zoumida Archipelago will likely face even greater retaliation!"

"Since we've taken on this matter, we should see it through to the end! Otherwise, the subsequent backlash suffered by these civilians will be because of us..."

Luffy spread his feet apart, struck another silly pose, and pointed at the sky with one hand: "Haha!!!! I, Monkey D. Luffy, will take care of this trivial matter today!!"

But at this moment, Buggy grabbed Luffy's hand and pushed it back: "Luffy... it's not the time yet!"

Huh?

Everyone looked at Buggy in confusion, wondering what was going on~~~

Buggy walked to a nearby barrel and sat on one leg.

He looked at everyone, shrugged his shoulders: "You guys are not pirates yet, there's no need to get yourselves involved in the quagmire of pirates because of this matter.

"But as for me... it's different!"

"I became a pirate twenty-five years ago, and I've long been a guy wanted by the World Government and the Marines..."

"Luffy, you pointed me in the direction of training, which is important to me!"

"But I haven't been able to repay you."

"Isn't it time for us to part ways? Then... it's also time for me to repay you!"

"Luffy, I'll bear the blame for killing Marines on your behalf!"
