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

040 You Don’T Want To Be Decent, I’Ll Help You Be Decent

It's not really surprising to only allow for capturing alive.

In the original work, Sanji, as the prince of the Germa Kingdom, had his bounty changed to only allow for capturing alive after his father made a deal with the government.

Garp doesn't even need to make a deal, the Naval Headquarters would voluntarily change it to only allow for capturing alive out of respect for him.

If we think from the perspective of the Naval Headquarters, they would also have a headache dealing with Luffy.

On one hand, they can't just let him go and pretend they didn't see anything.

On the other hand, this kid is the grandson of a Marine hero.

After thinking it through, changing the bounty to only allow for capturing alive is a more emotionally intelligent approach.

If they can capture him, let Garp decide how to handle it.

"My grandpa might already be in East Blue, we need to leave for the Grand Line as soon as possible, it wouldn't be good if we run into him."

Luffy said helplessly, "Nami, how much longer until we reach Logue Town?"

Run into him?

Nami thought to herself, Luffy's grandpa is also my grandpa, if we really run into him, what should I call him? Should I call him grandpa too? Or maybe father-in-law?

"Nami?"

"Ah? What is it?"

Nami blushed and hurriedly replied, "We should be able to reach there tomorrow."

Luffy nodded and picked up Zoro's bounty poster.

"I'll go give it to him, that guy will definitely be smug for a while."

Saying that, he extended his arm and shot off by grabbing onto the mast.

The Merry Go.

After losing to Hawk-Eye, Zoro became even more diligent in his training.

At this moment, he was doing one-handed push-ups with his bare upper body, sweat covering the ground.

Not only that, he was also biting onto a heavy dumbbell and counting:

"999...1000...1001..."

Seemingly noticing Luffy's arrival, he stopped his training.

"Here, your bounty poster."

"What?! A bounty poster? Where is it? Let me see."

Usopp and the others rushed over upon hearing the news.

Johnny saw Zoro's picture and the number below it, and exclaimed, "Zoro, you have a bounty of 19 million berries from the Marines!"

"What?! That's amazing! It's even higher than Admiral Krieg!" Joseph exclaimed.

"19...19 million..."

Usopp was dumbfounded.

Zoro wiped away the sweat with a towel and proudly said, "19 million? Not bad. Even I have a bounty. Luffy, you must have one too, right?"

"71 million."

Zoro turned and walked away.

"Where are you going, Zoro?" Usopp immediately shouted.

"To train!"

Zoro quickly walked into the cabin.

With such a high bounty, he would surely be targeted by bounty hunters. Once they entered the Grand Line, who knows what kind of monsters they would encounter.

He had to make good use of every minute and second to become stronger.

It wasn't about competing with Luffy, or comparing bounties with the captain.

It was because among all the members of the current team, only Luffy was strong enough. He had to keep up with him and as the first mate, he had to have the power to protect the others in critical moments.

"Men's competitiveness..." Usopp shook his head.

"I don't think so."

Luffy smiled. This was exactly what he wanted, for Zoro to strive to become stronger.

"That's great, when will we also have bounties?" Joseph said with longing. "Not as high as Luffy, just hoping to keep up with Zoro and not become a burden."

"You'll be wanted sooner or later," Luffy said with a smile.

Usopp's face turned green with fear. "Just not this one thing, please!"

"I've decided, I'm going to train with Zoro. We're not here to tour the Grand Line!"

Johnny made a declaration of effort and immediately pulled Joseph to chase after Zoro.

"They're all fired up..."

Luffy smiled. "By the way, have you seen Sanji?"

"Sanji is in the storeroom, delivering food to those two pirates."

The Merry Go, storeroom.

As prisoners, Krieg and Arlong were tied up like rice dumplings.

Sanji placed two plates of fried rice in front of them, and they could only lower their heads and eat like dogs.

"We will soon arrive at the next town, where we will send you to the Marine Base. That's what our captain said."

Sanji sat down and lit a cigarette.

"Sanji..." Akin's swallowing motion paused, and he hesitated to raise his head. "I'm sorry!"

Krieg targeted Baratie because he led the way.

And when he was almost starving to death, it was Sanji who gave him a bowl of fried rice.

Although Krieg promised him not to attack the restaurant, only to fill his stomach.

But obviously, their captain had no intention of keeping the agreement, and it was their own fault that they ended up in this situation.

"It's okay, anyway, he was severely reprimanded by Miss Nami." Sanji blew out a smoke ring.

While the two were talking, Krieg had already finished eating a bowl of fried rice.

In a weak voice, he pleaded, "Can you spare me? I won't dare anymore, I won't be a pirate anymore. From now on, I will be an honest person."

"It's really funny." Luffy walked in leisurely. "Whether you are a pirate or want to be an honest person has nothing to do with us. If it weren't for getting the full bounty, I wouldn't even bother with your injuries."

Dead bounty criminals can only receive seventy percent of the bounty.

Only living pirates will Marine be willing to pay the full amount.

Why does Marine have such a system... It should be to control Devil Fruit powers.

When a user dies, the fruit will be reborn somewhere in the world.

If the reborn fruit is eaten by someone else, it's as good as catching nothing.

Of course, it's also possible that it's intentional, to save money.

After all, capturing alive is more difficult than killing.

"Luffy." Sanji stood up.

Seeing the captain appear, Krieg abandoned his dignity and bowed excitedly. "Captain Luffy! I'm willing to be your subordinate, join your crew. You're also a pirate, there's no need to share the bounty with Marine. My bounty is only 17 million, I will help you get ten times or a hundred times that amount!"

It is common for pirate crews to merge with each other, with the loser becoming a subordinate of the winner. This has always been the case on the sea.

Luffy's mouth curled up, his expression disdainful. "You're too insignificant."

"What?" Krieg was taken aback.

"You're too insignificant. The crew members around you are all stronger than you."

Krieg's face changed. "Akin is very powerful, but compared to me, he's still a bit lacking! Captain Luffy, I was just too weak before. When I fully recover, I will definitely become your capable..."

"You simply don't understand." Luffy shook his head. "You can't understand either. Sanji, no need to feed him anymore, we'll reach Logue Town tomorrow."

After saying that, he turned and left.

Seeing the captain leave, Krieg became afraid. He looked at Sanji with a frantic expression. "Mr. Sanji, please, don't hand me over to Marine. With what I've done in the past, I will definitely be executed! Akin, join me in pleading, what are you still hesitating for?"

"Krieg... When everyone chose to set sail as pirates, they already staked their lives. Stop talking, captain, leave yourself some dignity." Akin's gaze was calm.

"I don't want to die! I can't die!"

Krieg struggled.

Boom!

A wave of Conqueror's Haki suddenly swept over.

In an instant, Krieg's head endured the impact of the conqueror's will, rolling his eyes and fainting.

"So noisy." Luffy's voice came from outside.

"If you don't care about your dignity, I'll help you with that."

...

The next day.

"Luffy! We can already see land!"

Usopp's loud voice penetrated the walls of the Sunny Go and reached Luffy's ears.

"Hmm? What?" Nami hugged Luffy's arm and mumbled in a daze.
