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

Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy, caused a sensation worldwide when he appeared for the second time in the World Economic News.

As a rookie pirate with a bounty of 71 million, he defeated Sir Crocodile in less than half a month and became the new generation Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"He really is a hot topic! My judgment is never wrong!"

After receiving news material provided by the World Government, "News King" Morgans felt proud of his foresight.

He waved his feathered hand and immediately issued instructions to all branches around the world:

"Spread this news worldwide within a day!"

The massive media machine started running, and millions of news birds flapped their wings, distributing freshly printed newspapers all over the world.

In a certain area of the Grand Line,

Still on the way, preparing to meet Four Emperors Shanks, Hawkeye looked at the newspaper in his hand, confused.

The front page headline featured two side-by-side photos.

Former Shichibukai, Sir Crocodile.

New Shichibukai, Monkey D. Luffy!

He looked at the previous bounty poster and laughed.

He hadn't even had a drink with Red-Haired Shanks, and the old bounty had already expired.

"Straw Hat Luffy... He started right after entering the Grand Line?"

His traveling speed couldn't keep up with the news updates.

"Crocodile was taken down."

Surprisingly, Hawkeye wasn't surprised. He was very familiar with that kid's strength from their previous encounter.

The growth trajectory of the current Shichibukai and Monkey D. Luffy had some similarities.

Crocodile, 24 years ago, at the age of 20, made a name for himself in the sea, with an initial bounty of 81 million. He quickly became a Shichibukai and was the first pirate to be recruited by the government.

Of course, they weren't called the Seven Warlords of the Sea back then.

The establishment of the Shichibukai was after the first World Summit following the death of Pirate King Roger. In order to deal with the chaos of the times and the rapid increase in the number of pirates, it was officially established by unanimous vote of the representatives of the 50 affiliated countries.

Afterward, 11 years ago, at the age of 18, Pirate Empress Boa Hancock, with a bounty of 80 million, quickly became one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea after a single expedition.

Three years ago, the super rookie "Fire Fist" Ace made a name for himself as soon as he entered the Grand Line and was quickly invited by the government to join the Shichibukai, only to be rejected.

And now:

Coming from the weakest sea, East Blue, Straw Hat Luffy, with an initial bounty of 71 million, defeated the former Shichibukai and became the new generation Shichibukai!

From the experiences of these people, those who can make it to the world stage will demonstrate exceptional strength even when they are still newcomers.

923 "We must find Red-Haired and have a few drinks!"

Hawkeye folded up the newspaper, showing no interest in the matter of Alabasta.

Grand Line, New World, a tropical island.

A fat man rushed towards a cave.

"Boss! Boss! It's Luffy! Big news about Luffy!"

He held a piece of meat in one hand and waved the newspaper in the other.

"Roronoa Zoro?"

In front of the cave, the vice captain who loved beautiful women, Benn Beckman, looked up and smiled in surprise, "Luffy? What happened to Luffy?"

"Luffy has become a Shichibukai!" the fat man shouted.

"What!?"

With exclamations, a figure with red hair swiftly rushed out of the cave.

In the scorching weather, Shanks was originally taking shelter in the cave, but upon hearing Luffy's name, he couldn't wait to come out.

He snatched the newspaper and eagerly looked at the news report.

"I can't stand this guy..." Beckman muttered quietly.

Then, the surrounding members of the Four Emperors' crew began to shout and exclaim.

"What? What? Luffy? How did Luffy become a Shichibukai?"

"I really miss the time we spent in the Windmill Village. Is Luffy doing well?"

"Wasn't this guy just recently worth 71 million?"

"Luffy becoming a Shichibukai, I can't believe my eyes, Captain~"

A group of people surrounded Red-Haired, reading the newspaper and making fun of it.

"He defeated Crocodile? Hahaha!"

Shanks laughed loudly and raised the newspaper, "Prepare for a feast, everyone!"

"Oh!"

"We must celebrate for Luffy!"

"Wait, wait a minute, Shanks!" Seeing that this group of people was about to forget about the main matter, Beckman had to step forward, "It's fine if you want to celebrate, but next, aren't we supposed to go meet Whitebeard?"

After a pause, he said helplessly, "For this matter, we have sunk several warships."

"Ah... I almost forgot."

Shanks only then remembered the serious matter.

He had to go see Whitebeard.

It wasn't easy for the two Four Emperors to meet.

Unlike the first half of the Grand Line, where there was the Paradise Sea, in the New World, the Four Emperors each had their own territories.

Running to someone else's territory and starting a war was not a good idea.

In addition, the Marine's surveillance ships were also annoying. They had to take out those surveillance warships first, then deliver the letter, and only then could they enter someone else's territory.

After thinking for a full three seconds, Shanks decisively gave up on Whitebeard.

"Then let Whitebeard wait a few more days. Hahaha, let the party begin! Cheers to Luffy!"

"Oh!! Gabu, bring out the alcohol!"

With the captain's order, the crew members of the Red Hair Pirates began to busy themselves.

They lit a bonfire, brought out wine and food, and the lively party began.

Beckman sighed and rubbed his forehead.

"I can't stand these people..."

The joy of the party was theirs, but he was responsible for the aftermath.

On the other side.

In a certain sea area in the New World.

The Whitebeard Pirates' Moby Dick pirate ship.

Pineapple Head received a free newspaper from a news bird.

"Eh!? Isn't this Ace's little brother?"

He exclaimed, shocked by the content of the newspaper.

Beside him, Vista, sitting leisurely on the steps of the deck, asked curiously,

"Marco, what's wrong? Ace's little brother?"

"Luffy! I've heard this name so many times, my ears are calloused!"

"Luffy? Ah, Ace would mention him every time we drank. What happened to this kid?"

"Gan diao le Crocodile, cheng Shichibukai le…………"

Marco had a bewildered expression on his face: "Last time I saw him, his bounty was only 71 million, and now, in such a short time, the newcomers are really something! They're even more 'super' than Ace back then."

"Hahaha, truly worthy of being Ace's brother!" Jozu, the captain of the 3rd division, laughed heartily, crossing his arms.

At this moment, a tall man walked over.

He was shirtless, revealing his muscular physique, and had a red-sleeved white coat draped over his shoulders.

With an astonishing height of 6 meters 66, he could be called a little giant.

Known as the "World's Strongest Man," one of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard Edward Newgate!

"What's the big deal, Marco?"

"Dad!"

Marco walked over and handed the newspaper to Whitebeard, saying with his hands on his hips, "Ace's brother suddenly became a Shichibukai, it's really surprising."

Whitebeard squinted his eyes slightly and looked at the photo on the front page of the news.

Monkey D. Luffy, the newly appointed Seven Warlords of the Sea, with an original bounty of 71 million berries!

"Crocodile was defeated? Gura gura gura....."

He was not unfamiliar with the sand crocodile.

However, at this moment, when he saw Luffy, he thought of Ace.

Whitebeard's smile disappeared slightly.

"It's been a while since I went after Teach......."

Whitebeard's uneasy feeling grew stronger.

"By the way, hasn't that red-haired brat arrived yet?" Suddenly, he remembered this and asked.

"Just now, Beckman sent a message, saying that the scheduled meeting has been postponed. Really, that red-haired bunch of people really have no sense of urgency. They even used a Den Den Mushi directly, not afraid of being eavesdropped by the Marines." Marco complained.

Even if they sank some of the Marine's surveillance ships, there might still be some fish that slipped through the net.

Upon hearing this, a cross appeared on Whitebeard's forehead.

"What does that brat mean?"

New World, Wano Country.

On Onigashima, the Skull Castle.

Kaido, known as the "World's Strongest Creature," was squinting at the newspaper.

"Meng K? It's D again!"

As soon as Kaido saw the name D, he became extremely displeased.

He chugged down a barrel of alcohol.

"Ohohoho.... Shichibukai? Boring!"

He crumpled up the newspaper and casually threw it away.

New World, Cake Island.

"Mom, there's a new Shichibukai."

"Huh? Who?"

"It's a newcomer, Straw Hat Luffy. He defeated Crocodile and took his position."

"A Devil Fruit user?"

"I don't know, the news didn't mention it."

New World, Dressrosa.

One of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, the head of the Donquixote Family, the intermediary of the underworld, and the current king of Dressrosa.

The Heavenly Yaksha, Donquixote Doflamingo.

"Huhuhuhu.... That bastard Crocodile was taken down by a newcomer."

Laughs to death!

Grand Line, a certain sea area.

The Nine Snake Pirates attacked a passing merchant ship and were plundering its cargo.

On the deck of the merchant ship were lifelike stone sculptures that made men go crazy.

As a pirate group under the command of the Shichibukai, the Nine Snake Pirates had the qualification to legally plunder. Therefore, even if a nearby warship happened to pass by, they would pretend not to see it.

The female pirates found a newspaper on the merchant ship and quickly handed it over to the Empress of Amazon Lily and captain of the Nine Snake Pirates.

The world's most beautiful woman, the Pirate Empress, Boa Hancock.

"Sister, a Shichibukai was taken down," said Marigold, her sister, in surprise.

The Empress clenched the newspaper in her hand, her delicate face showing no expression.

Her bright and captivating eyes gazed at the photo of the newcomer.

"Just like me...."

Monkey D. Luffy!

The sensation caused by the news is rapidly spreading as time goes by.

Whether it's the Grand Line or the Four Seas, the Morgan Network is spreading this news without regard for cost.

Even on uninhabited islands, news birds will deliver newspapers.

And with such intensity, finally, a lost news bird coincidentally dropped a newspaper on a beach that was not its intended destination.

On the beach.

A girl with red and white hair, wearing a simple T-shirt, danced barefoot on the sandy ground.

Her singing voice was captivating, like a heavenly sound.

This is an uninhabited island.

No, to be precise, it is an "uninhabited island" where only two people live: the girl and her music teacher.

At the same time, it is also a place forgotten by the world, a place of destruction.

But it used to be a world-famous music capital with a resounding name: Elégia!

In her long solitude, the girl often sings on the beach.

And on this day, a newspaper fell in front of her.

"Huh?"

The girl's singing voice paused, and her braided hair, like rabbit ears, stood up in excitement as she eagerly called out:

"Wait! Bird! Wait a moment! I'm Uta~"

Wanting someone to talk to, but unfortunately, the news bird clearly had no interest in the girl.

After dropping the newspaper, it flew away.

The girl named Uta, her braided hair that stood up, drooped weakly.

"It flew away... sigh."

With a sigh, the girl squatted down in frustration and curiously looked at the newspaper on the ground.

She had a great curiosity about the outside world.

For ten years, she had been tormented by loneliness to the point of madness.

"Huh? Luffy!?"

When the girl saw the profile picture clearly, her eyes burst with astonishing colors, and her ears perked up again.

Grand Line, Alabasta.

A reception room.

Luffy sat on the sofa, with his legs crossed, looking at the newspaper sent by Hina.

"Your request has been fulfilled. Can you hand over the person to me now?" Colonel Hina crossed her arms and sat on the opposite sofa.

"You're quick." Luffy nodded and looked at Vivi beside him.

Vivi immediately had the prisoner brought in.

Crocodile, with seastone handcuffs on his hands, walked into the reception room under the escort of two soldiers.

"Straw Hat!"

As soon as Crocodile saw Luffy, his expression turned ugly.

Afterwards, he saw the Marines.

He squinted his eyes, "What does this mean?"

"The ceremony for transferring prisoners."

Luffy laughed and said, "Thanks, Sand Crocodile. Thanks to you, I am now a Shichibukai."

Crocodile:

He instantly understood the situation and became extremely unhappy.

This kid actually used him as a bargaining chip!

Hina frowned slightly, "Is there only one? You also captured another person, right?"

"You mean Mr. 2? I never said I would hand this person over to you."

Indeed, he never said it!

But everyone thought that this additional person would also be handed over to them, right?

Forget it, he's just a minor character anyway.

Hina took a deep breath, stood up and said, "Crocodile, you are no longer a Shichibukai. Due to the crimes you have committed, you will be escorted to Impel Down!"

"Ha ha ha, do you Marines think you're qualified to judge me?"

Crocodile sneered.

He couldn't defeat Crocodile and was defeated. Although he was very unhappy, that was all there was to it.

For this Marine in front of him, he felt complete contempt.

"You talk tough, bastard!"

Hina took a step forward and swept her leg.

After kicking Crocodile, her right leg continued through, and at the point of contact, thick black chains as thick as arms immediately bound Crocodile completely.

"Take him away!"

"Yes, Colonel!"

Two Marines immediately grabbed Crocodile's arms and forcefully dragged him out.

"Straw Hat!!"

Crocodile's voice came from outside the door: "Is that thing really in Wano Country?"

Seemingly unwilling, he asked one last question.

"You! Guess!"

Luffy laughed, thinking, I won't tell you, suffer.

After that, there was no sound from Crocodile.

"Phew..."

On the sofa, Vivi let out a sigh of relief and exclaimed, "Finally, it's over. Thank you, Mr. Luffy~"

"What are you talking about? It's over?"

Luffy stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the scenery outside the palace.

"It's just the beginning."

"Huh?" Vivi was stunned. "What?"

"The rebellion army!"

Upon hearing this, Vivi's pupils suddenly contracted.

She had forgotten!

The resolution of Crocodile did not mean the end of the internal turmoil in the country.

And there... are 500,000 rebel soldiers!
