Luffy Died When He Set Sail, And At The Beginning, I Become The Sun God?

(After receiving feedback from book reviewers, starting from this chapter, let's use the name Luffy for the protagonist. If we might write about other worlds in the future, we can consider whether to use the original name. If this causes any inconvenience to the readers, please forgive us.)

...

Mu Li opened the adventure shop and there were many new items available today.

[Height-increasing Fruit]: After consumption, it increases height by 1cm. Can be consumed indefinitely. Price: 200 adventure coins.

[Heart-throbbing Fruit]: When given to the target, it will make them develop feelings of infatuation towards you, regardless of gender or race. Price: 2000 adventure coins.

[Strength Fruit]: After consumption, it increases one's own strength by a certain amount. Price: 100 adventure coins.

[Haki Fruit]: Omitted, 200 adventure coins.

[Lifespan Fruit]: Omitted, 100 adventure coins.

...

"The Height-increasing Fruit is 200, and the Haki Fruit is also 200..."

Does one centimeter of height equal one awakening of Haki?

Mu Li... no, Luffy realized.

The items sold in the adventure shop should be quite cheap in terms of improving one's strength, except for the Awakening Fruit worth 10,000 coins.

But strangely, the prices for various other fruits are much higher.

He glanced at his savings.

[Adventure Coins]: 810

"I need to save some to buy a new ship, but unfortunately, it didn't refresh today. I should focus on improving my strength first, even though my height is my weakness... but I can only endure it and deal with it later."

Luffy's height is only 174cm.

If this were in the previous world, it would be considered average, but in the world of pirates, it seems a bit short.

"You can eat slowly, I'm going to the training ground."

Thinking of this, Luffy greeted Nami and left the restaurant.

Soon, he arrived under the sun and decisively bought a Haki Fruit.

-200 adventure coins.

Luffy ate it in one bite.

In an instant, a new power surged within him, and knowledge about "Armament Haki" quickly awakened, as if he had always possessed it.

"So this is Armament Haki..."

He raised his arm, clenched his fist with his right hand, and a layer of black color appeared in his gaze, staining his fist.

Armament Haki is a Haki that can enhance one's defense and attack power.

At the same time, when facing a Logia-type Devil Fruit user, it can grab hold of the opponent's true body.

In its advanced stage, it can gather Armament Haki on the hands or weapons and release it, like a shockwave that can send enemies flying, or it can form an invisible protective barrier.

In an even higher stage called "Emission," it can penetrate the surface of objects and cause internal destruction.

As for whether there are even stronger stages, Luffy currently doesn't know.

In any case, it is a very powerful ability.

After familiarizing himself for a moment, Luffy walked to the center of the training ground, squatted down, and lightly smashed his fist into the ground.

Boom!

Although he used only a small amount of strength, the ground was instantly covered in cracks, and a large piece collapsed where he struck.

"Not bad," Luffy nodded in satisfaction.

...

The next day, early morning.

Branch 153, training ground.

The residents of Shells Town had gathered here early.

"Hey, Bennick, have you heard?"

"Yeah, the Marines said that Monka was captured?"

"A man named Luffy came yesterday. He said his grandfather is a high-ranking officer at the Naval Headquarters. He found out about Monka's situation and had that tyrant taken down!"

"That's great! The Naval Headquarters is still reliable. Monka is just a troublemaker!"

"There's going to be a public trial for Monka today, I wonder what it means..."

Whispering, whispering.

Fortunately, there are Marines maintaining order around, so there shouldn't be any major problems.

In the center of the training ground, Luffy ordered his men to quickly set up a wooden judgment platform overnight.

On the platform, there was a table with three chairs behind it.

"Silence, Luffy is here!" Suddenly, a captain announced loudly.

The scene immediately fell silent.

Everyone looked up, trying to find Luffy, curious about what this important person looked like.

Four figures walked in from outside the training ground.

Luffy was dressed in a black suit and smiled as he waved to the crowd.

Zoro and Nami followed behind him, along with the small transparent creature, Kobby.

"Is that Luffy?"

"So handsome!"

"He has such charisma, no wonder he's from a high-ranking family!"

Luffy activated his Observation Haki and listened to the praise from the crowd, his smile growing wider.

"If you can talk, then say more!"

"There's nothing else, I just love listening!"

He walked up to the judgment platform, and a soldier brought a Den Den Mushi for amplification.

"Good morning, brothers and sisters of Shells Town, uncles and aunties. You may not know who I am, so let me introduce myself."

"My name is Monkey D. Luffy, Vice Admiral of the Naval Headquarters, and the grandson of Marine hero Garp."

As an outsider, Luffy chose a more approachable title to communicate with the public.

He quickly closed the distance.

His introduction instantly stirred up the previously quiet crowd.

"Vice Admiral Garp? Is it that Garp?"

"Marine hero Garp, he's the pride of East Blue!"

"So he's Mr. Garp's grandson, no wonder he's extraordinary! The descendant of a hero must also be a hero!"

Listening to the chaotic voices, Luffy raised his hand and made a few gestures to quiet everyone down before continuing.

"Yesterday, my companions and I arrived on this island. Some of you may have seen us yesterday when I was escorting a pirate through the streets."

"I just wanted to collect the bounty and leave."

"But then, I heard the cries and reports from the people about the atrocities committed by Colonel Morgan, the base commander, over the past few years. It was truly outrageous!"

"As Garp's grandson, I cannot tolerate this. He is a complete disgrace to the Marines. So, I immediately rallied the soldiers who had the will to resist and successfully took down this beast!"

Upon hearing this, the crowd erupted in enthusiastic applause.

"Long live Luffy!"

"Long live Vice Admiral Garp!"

"Down with Morgan!"

The emotions of the crowd were extremely high.

The dark cloud hanging over Shells Town finally dispersed, and better days were finally coming.

Luffy listened with a smile.

Beside him, Nami and Zoro were already numb.

Zoro's eye twitched uncontrollably, and he couldn't help but think, "With this kind of execution and charisma... it's such a waste for Captain Luffy to be a pirate!"

Clap, clap, clap.

Luffy clapped his hands to signal everyone to be quiet.

"Now, we will publicly and fairly judge former Marine Colonel Morgan. Everything that happens today will be recorded."

Saying that, he turned around and sat down behind the table.

"Bring in the criminal, Morgan!"
