"I heard about you from Shanks and the others before."

"Shanks!? Do you know Red-Haired Shanks? The great pirate?"

Usopp was extremely surprised.

"Well, he gave me this straw hat."

Luffy took off the straw hat, tossed it lightly in his hand, and smiled. "Your father is Yasopp, right? He often tells me that he has a son around my age."

Mentioning his father, Usopp became excited.

"Yasopp is indeed my dad's name! So, my dad now..."

"Yasopp is a real pirate now. I can tell you about your dad later."

Saying that, Luffy put the straw hat back on and gave orders to the Marines: "There is a very dangerous pirate hiding in this village. We must deal with him first. Follow me, all of you!"

"Yes, Captain Luffy."

Immediately, Luffy led Nami, Zoro, and fifty Marine soldiers towards Syrup Village.

On the cliff, Usopp gritted his teeth and immediately followed.

"I overheard your conversation just now. Are you going to find Miss Kaya? Has she been targeted by pirates?!"

"Of course, she is a cunning man."

"I'll show you the way!" Usopp said hurriedly.

Luffy glanced at him and chuckled. "Then, please lead the way."

But deep down, he wanted to complain.

If he had traveled as Usopp, Kaya's child would have been born by now. It would have been so easy to conquer a sickly, gentle young lady like her.

Soon, the group entered the village.

This immediately caused a commotion.

Many villagers who were preparing to work in the fields early in the morning were shocked to see them.

"Marines!"

"Huh? Usopp is here too... What's happening!?"

"They're heading towards the mansion!"

As the only wealthy family in the village, the house where Miss Kaya lived could be seen from afar.

The group arrived in front of the mansion's main gate, which was tightly closed.

Seeing this, Luffy gave a decisive order.

"Seal off this house."

"Yes!"

The captain nodded, waved his hand, and immediately directed the others.

The Marines divided into four teams and quickly surrounded the entire mansion, blocking all entrances and exits.

Usopp nervously asked, "Wait, are you sure the pirate you're looking for is really here? There are only Miss Kaya and a few servants in this house."

"Quiet and watch."

Luffy couldn't help but smile and signaled with his eyes again.

The captain received the instruction and immediately stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?"

Knock, knock, knock!

After a moment, the mansion's door finally opened, and a man wearing a butler's attire poked his head out.

He looked like a sheep.

His hair was white, and he had a pair of small curved horns on both sides of his head.

"Sea... Marines?" The man was taken aback for a moment and quickly asked, "I am Merry. Is there something I can help you with?"

"Please gather everyone in this mansion to the hall immediately! We suspect that there is a dangerous pirate hiding here!" The captain said sternly, "Now, please open the door!"

"Yes... yes."

Facing Marine, the Butler of the Horned Sheep Estate could only open the gate completely and let everyone in.

Afterwards, chaos ensued.

After more than ten minutes, everyone in the mansion had gathered in the hall.

There were security guards in black suits, maids responsible for laundry and cooking, several butlers, and a young girl in a wheelchair wearing a light yellow dress.

Behind the girl was a young man with a large afro.

His expression was somewhat unfriendly, and he stood up in front of the many Marines in the hall to express his anger.

"What exactly is going on? Miss Kaya is very weak because of you all..."

"Krabat!"

The girl in the wheelchair gently interrupted, shaking her head with a smile. "You can't be so rude to guests. I'm fine."

"But, Miss..."

The butler Krabat finally snorted, "There are no pirates here!"

"We will investigate whether there are pirates or not, please rest assured."

Captain calmly reassured, then turned around and bowed to Luffy and the others. "Reporting to Lord Luffy, all the people in the mansion have gathered."

"Okay."

Luffy nodded, sat on the sofa, crossed his legs, and lightly tossed his straw hat in his hand.

The straw hat went up and down in the air, as if it was the heartbeat of everyone in the mansion.

Everyone felt a bit uneasy.

"Haha, don't be nervous, we're just here to capture a pirate, it has nothing to do with the rest of you."

Luffy smiled, his gaze sweeping over everyone, finally stopping on Miss Kaya.

She truly lived up to her status as a young lady from a wealthy family, with a good temperament and outstanding appearance.

However, she had been sickly since childhood, and her pale complexion looked somewhat unhealthy.

"I am Luffy, Monkey D. Garp is my grandfather. I will ask a few simple questions, then tell you a story, and everything will be over."

Upon hearing this, everyone was startled.

Monkey D. Garp? Naval Headquarters Vice Admiral!

"Mr. Luffy, may I ask?" Miss Kaya gently spoke.

"Miss Kaya, when did your parents pass away?"

"My parents...? They passed away a year ago due to illness."

"The butler behind you? When did he appear?"

Luffy's gaze fell on the girl's butler.

Butler Krabat's expression changed slightly, and he immediately spoke discontentedly, "What do you mean? Are you suspecting me? Do you have any evidence?"

"It's impossible, Krabat is not the pirate you're looking for."

Kaya hurriedly shook her head.

"Just chatting casually," Luffy said with a smile.

Before coming to this island, all he wanted was a ship.

But now, he had changed his mind. This sickly young lady seemed a bit pitiful. As a repayment, he would take her to the Grand Line for treatment.

As a good pirate, repaying kindness was his outstanding virtue.

"Answer my question."

"It was..." Kaya recalled and said softly, "It was three years ago. At that time, he was thrown off a ship and collapsed in front of my house. My parents took him in, and since then, Krabat has been taking care of me wholeheartedly. He is a good person."

"Okay, I understand. Thank you for the information, Miss Kaya."

Luffy nodded, raised his hand and pointed, giving a faint order.

"Capture him!"
