One Piece: Beginning and Straw Hat Luffy living on a desert island

Not far from the campsite, in the forest.

Luffy and Kobe Bryant sat on a rough log they stumbled upon and chatted.

He told the reason why he went to sea.

As usual, Luffy told him about his dream of becoming One Piece.

Bryant listened, his mouth opened wide, and he was surprised.

Bryant was surprised that the dream was too big, and he began to shake his head in denial.

"No, no, it can't be! It can't be, it can't be! One Piece is a pirate who has got everything in this world! From this East China Sea, he must enter the great sea route and sail in the most dangerous seas. Not something anyone can do, impossible

, impossible, impossible!" "It's not impossible. You'll never know unless you try, right

?" "No, I understand!It's just that it can't be! It can't be, it can't be!"

"Huh

?" "Oh!?"

Luffy looked a little annoyed and poked Kobe Bryant in the forehead.

No force, but still painful, he pressed his forehead.

was suddenly poked, which made Kobe Bryant shiver in surprise.

It seemed to calm him down.

"Why did you hit me?"

"I don't know why...", "

Hehe, somehow... Well, it's okay, hehe, I'm used to being beaten.

Bryant laughed and scratched his head, as if mocking himself.

Luffy felt uncomfortable looking at Kobe Bryant like this and tilted his head.

I want to be a Marine!

For some reason, Luffy's unwavering scream still lingers in his head.

And now, he looks like just a timid, weak boy.

Kobe, who calmed down, was questioned by Luffy.

"Hey, why are you a pirate? Didn't you say you wanted to be a navy?"

Well, that's right.

Bryant straightened up and began to speak.

"That was two years ago... I wanted to go fishing, so I wanted to get on the boat, but I ended up on a pirate ship by mistake. That's it. Well, I'm angry. From then on, resistance would be beaten, and I would be forced to be a navigator and drudger...!"

"You're such a fool, you can't mistake a pirate ship for a fishing boat. "

Uh, yes, I'm so stupid and stupid, I hate myself..."

Luffy laughed at the depressed Kobe.

Luffy thinks he's stupid and stupid, but doesn't seem to hate him.

Because Luffy felt that he had protected him, he regarded him as a friend.

"But they're gone, now you can be a Marine

" "Uh... But can someone like me do it? Come to think of it, I'm not good, I'm a coward, I don't want to be a pirate, but I've been forced to do it for two years... Even if I became a Marine, I might not be able to protect others. "

Unless you try, but you protected me, didn't you?"

"Ah—that's so desperate!" "

Then you can go to the Navy with your will to die, you can." Perhaps

because of his lack of confidence, Bryant was scared by anxiety just by imagining his future. Seeing him like this, Luffy said honestly without worry.

His face was surprisingly calm as he took his straw hat and stared at it.

"I think I can die. "

Uh-what?!"

"I decided to become One Piece, so I don't care about fighting to the death to become One Piece." Since I'm still alive, I'm going to do my best. So I'll never give up.

Bryant was shocked by his expression and words, and was speechless.

After a long time, Kobe bit his lip and whispered in horror in a trembling voice.

"I wonder if I can do it too..."

"Huh?"

"Join the Navy and become a Marine... I always thought it was impossible. Someone like me, even if I try hard enough, can I catch the bad guys...?"

"I don't know. I'm not you. "

No, no... No! I'll do it! Luffy said he's going to die, so I'm going to die too!I'm going to do my best to die, work hard, and one day, ha, ha...!"

Kobe stood up bravely, stared at his clenched fists, and made up his mind.

Looking at his figure, Luffy's face was calm.

"I'm going to be a Navy officer——!" Bryant yelled.

After he shouted, he stumbled on his legs and fell to the ground on the spot.

"Wow wow!?Oh, what did I do...!I shouldn't have said that, that couldn't be!It's so embarrassing!If there's a hole, I want to go in!

"Heh... You're such an interesting person.

"Yes, I'm sorry. I got a little carried away. Maybe I got a little carried away talking to Mr. Luffy.

"Come on, Kobe. Luffy whispered to Kobe Bryant, who was scratching his head in embarrassment.

"You can do it. I think so.

"Oh, is that true, but on what basis?"

I don't have any basis for it, but that's what I think. Somehow.

"Hahahaha..."

Unconsciously, the trembling stopped, and the body was able to move freely.

Standing up slowly, Kobe Bryant looked into Luffy's eyes.

This time he smiled with relief, and then bowed his head deeply.

"Thank you, Mr. Luffy. What would have happened if I hadn't met you?"

"Hmm? I'm just here for dinner. "

I... I'll give it a try. I don't know if I can do it, but I've been doing housework for two years and I've been patient. I'll start from scratch and do my best. "

Poetry poetry poetry. I understand. Both

laughed, and laughter spread through the silent forest.

Feet on grass and branches make sounds.

Seeing the two people turn around, Mu Long opened his mouth and said, "Hey, Luffy, I'm here." "

Oh, Shepherd.

"Finally found you, I thought you were lost, and here you are. "

I'm sorry. There are all sorts of things. The

herding dragon walking through the meadow stood in front of the two of them.

Luffy smiled, but Kobe Bryant was a little nervous, and he raised his eyebrows, expressing his anxiety.

The dragon looked at him and tilted his head slightly.

"So, who is this guy?"

"This is Kobe, my new friend.

"Hey. Luffy, it seems like you're in a lot of trouble since you left us. "

Ahh

"

Old lady squid, could it be the Alvida I just heard about?"

said the dragon, putting his hand on his chin and starting to think.

Luffy asked Mulong at this time, "Hey Mulong, I'm going to send Kobe Bryant home." Is that possible? He's going to be a Marine.

"Marine, isn't he our new comrade?"

"No way! I can't be a pirate.

"Hey, you're going to send someone who would be your enemy.

"It's okay, we're friends.

Unlike Luffy, who was smiling happily, Mulong shrugged his shoulders with a wry smile.

Even if they wanted to send Bryant to the Navy Department, they couldn't act immediately.

Because they don't know where the Navy is.

"Well, that's right. Kobe, you know what?"

"yes. "

Really?" the two were surprised by Bryant's quick answer.

Bryant scratched his cheek a little shyly and began to answer.

"I was also a navigator when I was on Alvida's ship and I knew a lot about the area.

"Seriously. You're amazing. "After all, the navigator is great

!" "Eh!?no, no, no...!"

"Hahahahaha." Luffy laughed at their conversation.

It seems that the Wrangling and Kobe Bryant are quickly closing the distance.

Indeed, as Mu Long said, without navigation skills, it is too dangerous to sail on the sea.

Although Mulong can cope to a certain extent, he is not professional.

And he is not particularly familiar with the geography of Donglan.

The Straw Hat Pirates decide to travel to a nearby town with Kobe.

As Bryant said, it takes less than two hours to arrive.

The four of them saw the island.

It's a very ordinary town on the island, and it doesn't look bustling.

However, in the middle of the town, a large naval base can be seen, which stands out strangely in this featureless town.

It's called the town of Shelz.
