Because he was a rubber person, he would not worry about the pain of fists. Except for his grampaâs fist, this was the first time he felt the pain brought by another person.
âGive me back Shanks straw hat!â
Luffyâs arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed the straw hat on Ueharaâs head. He tried his best to take the straw hat back!
In fact, Luffy has several questions in his heart right now. His body was still very painful, but the straw hat was undoubtedly a treasure that he treasured as much as his life. The most important thing right now for him was to take back the straw hat!
Uehara did not stop him. He just let Luffy take back the straw hat. After that, he hit Luffyâs body, directly knocking him to the ground!
âRemember.â
Uehara slowly said, âIn the future, donât say in front of our Baroque Works that you want to become a Pirate King. Only our boss can become the Pirate King, understand?â
âI donât want it!â
Luffy suddenly raised his head and looked at Uehara with a stubborn look on his face, âPirate King⊠Iâm definitely going to be one!â
âOh.â
Uehara reached out to pick up his collar and dragged him to Foosha Village, âThen letâs find a place to have a good chat⊠Mr. Kisame, Miss Robin, you can go to work first!â
âHeheâŠâ
Kisame grinned and said, âThen you should take care of that kid! Letâs go loot this village!â
After Kisame finished speaking, he turned to look at Nico Robin, âVice President, can I kill everyone in this village?â
âDonât kill people.â
Nico Robin shook her head.
After seeing the two of them leave, Uehara carried Luffyâs body to a tavern and said, âThe luck of this village is really good! If the one who came is our boss, we will kill everyone in this village and burn this villageâŠâ
â⊠bastard!â
Luffy clenched his fist and said with a gloomy face, âYou guys have tarnished the honor of pirates!â
âHehâŠâ
Uehara knocked on Luffyâs head and said with a chuckle, âAre you kidding me? We are pirates! Go to the Grand Line and find out how many people our Baroque Works has killed!â
âBastard!â
A hint of anger flashed across Luffyâs face. He said in a deep voice, âWhen I go to Grand Line, I will definitely send all your members flying!â
âI am looking forward to it.â
Uehara pinched Luffyâs face and carried his body forward.
Because Luffy was a rubber person, his face stretched out while his body was still on the ground.
Foosha Village.
Makino Tavern.
It was obviously not open in the morning.
However, the guest today seemed very rough today. He kicked open the door and threw a person in, âHey, boss, give me a glass of juice!â
ââŠâ
A woman with sleepy eyes quickly walked out from behind the tavern.
It was the owner of this tavern, Makino. It seemed that because she had just woken up, there was a trace of sleepiness on her face, and she looked a little cute.
Makino slowly rubbed her eyes and sighed as she apologized, âSorry, Customer? Itâs not the business time yetâŠâ
However, when Makino finished rubbing her eyes and looked up, she saw Luffy lying on the ground, and a hint of panic flashed across her face!
âLuffy! Whatâs going on!â
âThis kid said that he wants to be the Pirate KingâŠâ
A young man with narrowed eyes and a smile, spread out his palm and continued, âBut in this world, only the boss of our Baroque Works can become the Pirate King. So I taught him a lessonâŠâ
ââŠâ
After a moment of silence, Makino slowly helped Luffy to sit on the chair. She raised her head and put on a smile, âIâm really sorry⊠The children in the village are ignorant and let the guests from afar laugh at us!â
At this moment, Makino was especially rational.
This was because Makino knew that this was not the time to argue.
Since their villageâs Luffy, who had Devil Fruitâs ability, seemed to have been knocked down, she had to endure it and not provoke this pirate.
However, Luffy, who Makino helped, obviously did not give her face and opened his mouth, âI am not joking! I will become the Pirate King!â
âLuffy! Donât talk.â
A touch of seriousness flashed across Makinoâs face. After Luffy closed his mouth, she looked up at the pirate and smiled, âThen the guest wants a glass of juice, right? It will be ready soonâŠâ
âEnâŠâ
The young man walked in, sat on the chair at the bar counter, and continued softly, âThen Iâll have to trouble the boss to be faster.
We will charge a million Beli fees every minute that delays our Baroque Works. This is the rule our Baroque Works boss set.â
â⊠A⊠a minute? A million Beli?â
Upon hearing this number, a hint of surprise flashed across Makinoâs face. After she hurriedly appeased Luffy, she ran towards the bar counter!
âWould you please wait a moment? It will be ready right away!â
âIâm not in a hurry.â
Uehara rested his arm on the table and looked at the busy Makino, âAnyway, the longer you delay, the more money I can take from you.â
ââŠâ
There was a drop of cold sweat on Makinoâs forehead.
Because she grew up in Foosha Village, and this was the hometown of the Marine hero Monkey D. Garp, very few pirates dared to offend it.
In the past, there were Red Hair Pirates who often stayed in Foosha Village, but those pirates would not bully the weak. So Makino had never seen such a pirate who bullied civilians.
âWhere did the guest come from?â
While chatting, Makino wanted to test Ueharaâs attitude while hurriedly squeezing the juice.
âAlabasta.â
Uehara did not hesitate and secretly leaked some information about Crocodile.
Makinoâs brows relaxed as she smiled and said, âI remember hearing Captain Shanks mention that it seems to be a desert country!â
âRed-haired Shanks?â
Uehara curled the corners of his mouth. When he mentioned the manâs name, the smile on his face became wider, âBoss, do you know Red-Haired Shanks? Oh, yes, the little brat who was clamoring to become the Pirate King just mentioned thatâŠâ
âCaptain Shanks is a regular customer of our Foosha VillageâŠâ
âI guess he wonât come in the future.â
Uehara interrupted Makino and said calmly, âAfter our Baroque Works defeated Shichibukai Jinbei and the Whitebeard Pirates, the next one to be encircled and suppressed is the Red Hair Pirates.â
âShanks will not be defeated by you!â
After hearing Ueharaâs words, Luffy shouted at him with dissatisfaction, âShanks is very strong! I made an agreement with him. The next time we meet, I will return the straw hat to him!â
âSir, here is your juice.â
Makino hurriedly placed the juice in front of Uehara and looked at Luffy anxiously, hoping that he would not continue to say anything to provoke Uehara.
Uehara did not continue to care about Luffy. He just took a sip of the juice and continued, âThank you, but this juice took up one minute of my time. When I left, the boss must give me 1 million Beli.â
Makino, ââŠâ
This pirate was telling the truth!
However, she was more worried about the news of Shanks and couldnât help but ask, âHave you seen Captain Shanks? How is he?â
âNo, I havenât seen him yet.â
Uehara sipped the juice in his hand and slowly continued, âHe should be fine now, but not in the future⊠The enemies of the Baroque Works have never had a good ending.â
Uehara slowly shifted his gaze to Luffy and said in a deep voice, âDonât be an enemy of the Baroque Works because the marine attacked our Baroque Works in Loguetown. In retaliation, the Baroque Works chose to loot the hometown of the Marine Hero Garp!â
âLo-loot?â
Makino covered her mouth in panic.
âYes, they have already gone. It will be too late if you go and inform them.â
Uehara glanced at Luffy again and continued in a deep voice, âHey, your name is Monkey D. Luffy, right? You must be Monkey D. Garpâs family!
Fortunately, I punched you just now and brought you back. Otherwise, those two Baroque Works members would have definitely killed you!â
ââŠâ
Luffy was silent for a second.
The next moment, he endured the pain and stood up to hold his straw hat. He said in a low voice, âI know, but I wonât watch them rob the village!â
âIdiot!â
Uehara suddenly appeared next to Luffy and punched him to the ground. He continued, âYou canât even beat me! My bounty is only 30 million, and their bounty is more than 100 million!â
After that, Uehara continued, âLooting Foosha Village, as revenge to the marine. It is an order issued by the boss of our Baroque Works. No one can stop it!â
This sentence was not wrong.
Because when Nico Robin reported to Crocodile, Crocodile disagreed. But Nico Robin said that Kisame was determined to do this, and she couldnât stop Kisame from making a big move.
Crocodile could only agree.
Crocodile was a little regretful to recruit Kisame into the Baroque Works. Since this guy joined, his Baroque Works became famous, and it was estimated that more and more enemies would be provoked.
Unfortunately, at this point, Crocodile could only comfort himself. Anyway, as long as the news that he was the boss was not leaked, other things didnât matter.
Now, Crocodile didnât know.
Foosha Villageâs straw hat boy had already remembered the boss of the Baroque Works, and he planned to settle accounts with this unknown boss in the future.
âWell, donât worry too much.â
Uehara took a sip of juice and continued softly, âI have quietly leaked the news to the marine. The marines near the East Blue are all heading here. Our Baroque Works wouldnât have time to do too much and should be leaving soon.â
âIs that soâŠâ
There was still some worry on Makinoâs face. After listening to Uehara, she could not help but show a trace of gratitude.
Makino suddenly felt that she had misunderstood Uehara.
âCustomer⊠is actually a good personâŠâ
âHeh, what kind of good person am I?â
A bitter smile appeared on Ueharaâs face. He shook his head and continued, âEver since I joined Baroque Works, I have been unable to turn back⊠Now, I can only do a few small things that I can do.â
