Why would a Saint Seiya become a pirate?

At this moment, Alvida is carrying a stick, threatening the poor people who are tied up in a row to say that she is the most beautiful woman in the world.

As for the other pirates, since the merchant ships had been looted almost completely, they were all on the deck carrying supplies.

"Looks like it's not the pirate hunter Zoro."

"Coby! Who is the most beautiful woman in the world?!"

Seeing the two of them acting as if nothing had happened, Alvida was a little annoyed. After confirming that the person next to Coby was not the swordsman who would attack anyone in sight, she immediately glared at Coby.

“Then, of course it’s…Asia…”

"Who is this ugly old lady?"

When Coby saw Alvida lose her temper, he immediately prepared to try and fool her, but Luffy told the truth first.

The situation immediately became very awkward. The pirates who were carrying the valuables immediately put down what they were carrying and took a few steps back in unison.

Enraged, Alvida swung her iron bar and slammed it down, sending splinters flying. Luffy and Coby leaped away to avoid it.

Seeing their captain make a move, the pirates tacitly ignored Coby and charged at Luffy with their weapons.

Luffy casually dodged the attacks, extending his long arms and legs to easily defeat all the pirates charging at him.

"Very good! Sine!"

Seeing that her subordinates were all lying on the ground, Alvida leaped up and swung her spiked iron club, smashing it down unstoppably from behind Luffy.

This, delivered by Alvida with all her might, would at least result in a level two disability in the East Blue, where Haki is not yet widespread.

Upon seeing this, Coby immediately crossed his arms and stood in front of Luffy without hesitation.

At the critical moment, the blue necklace on Koby's chest suddenly lit up and transformed into a suit of armor that draped over Koby's body.

The wolf-tooth iron club clashed with the arm armor, and with a muffled thud, it turned into a pile of fragments.

"Wow, so handsome! So you're a Saint Seiya too."

While Coby was still marveling at how the pendant had transformed into a Saint Cloth, Luffy looked at Coby with starlight in his eyes and envy.

"Saint Seiya? What's that? And why did you say 'also'?"

Coby was a little confused by Luffy's string of words and scratched the back of his head somewhat embarrassedly.

"Because I am a Saint Seiya too!"

Luffy pulled a blue pendant from the gap in his straw hat and tossed it out gently.

The pendant transformed into the image of a silver horse, landing on Luffy and turning into a red-patterned silver armor.

"I am Monkey D. Luffy, a Pegasus Saint who dreams of becoming the Pirate King."

"Deadwood, deadwood, fall! Pixar, Meteor Fist!"

After Luffy reintroduced himself, he swung his arm back to gather strength, then swung it forward.

Countless fist shadows transformed into starlight, carrying the shouts of Pegasus, and flew towards Alvida, who was preparing to launch a sneak attack beside Coby.

Just as Coby was about to ask something else, the exclamations of the pirates beside him interrupted his thoughts.

"Holy crap, the Navy is here! Run!"

Seeing the warship getting closer and closer, Luffy decisively ordered the already terrified pirates to lower a lifeboat.

However, the small boat fell too fast, splashing up layers of waves, as if it had wet something.

"Dead wood, dead wood, fall, slingshot!"

However, Luffy was too busy escaping to pay attention to Nami's murderous glare as she was soaking wet. He used his arms as a slingshot to launch the small boat.

Coby and Luffy took a small boat to get some water. After all, it's a pipe dream for someone on a pirate ship to say they want to be a Marine. They'd almost certainly be arrested and used for military merit.

On the boundless sea, Luffy tells Coby about his past.

He also explained why he became a Saint Seiya.

And there was also the companion who brought him the Saint Cloth, his first crew member, Fanny.

……

Chapter 8: The internal strife in the Goa Kingdom, the amnesiac Sabo, and the bandit king Higuma.

Luffy has gone missing.

The barrel and the big fish disappeared together.

Fanny chased after it for a long time without any news, so he simply stopped paying attention.

The will of the universe is not something a mere Saint like him can control.

Anyway, he's the protagonist of the world, so being eaten by a fish shouldn't be a big deal.

Without Luffy by his side, Fanny was quite bored.

So, he started causing trouble.

Following in the footsteps of the Draco Saint Cloth Stone that took off from Wuhu, Fanny finally found the unfortunate host.

Yes, Sabo, Chief of Staff of the Revolutionary Army.

Then, taking a GM army ship, we made a detour to Windmill Village.

Out of humanitarian concern, Fanny casually slaughtered a giant king of the nearshore seas.

Unexpectedly, they discovered the bandit king, Sig, inside its belly.

That unlucky guy is still alive.

And they're doing quite well.

They're practically married and have children inside the belly of the king of the near seas.

If the King of the Near Seas were to swallow another woman...

The monsters in One Piece are all really hungry; they eat anything.

As a result, they all suffered from indigestion.

They still won't take digestive aids.

Besides the bandit king Sig, there was also a dog.

Adhering to the principle that since we're already here, let's do something about it.

……

The Five Elders have been having some troubles lately.

As one of the five "good people" in the world, second only to the emperor in power and influence, he spends most of his time cleaning up other people's messes.

Yes, it was all to clean up the mess left by the Celestial Dragons, and they even expanded the number of pairings to 11.

There's no way around it; after all, these are monsters raised in a pampered environment, and their intelligence, which is as high as 250, is all focused on indescribable things.

Aside from procreation, they are utterly useless.

There are few truly outstanding people, and they are mostly from the older generation; however, there are far more and more scoundrels among the worms.

Finally, someone with a bit of sense came out of Doflamingo's family, but it turns out to be a traitor, making the whole world laugh at them.

Whenever they think of this, the Five Elders want to bring back a guy who was raised by pirates and improve the genes of these scumbags.

"What?! Another incident in the East China Sea? Where is it this time?"

"The Kingdom of Goa".

"Goa Kingdom?! Isn't that Garp's territory? What kind of trouble is that old monkey up to now?"

Upon hearing about the Goa Kingdom, the remaining Five Elders became restless, after all, that place had produced several of the world's biggest troublemakers.

Therefore, under the pretext of searching for Roger's son, Donghaizai was thoroughly investigated and exploited.

"This has nothing to do with that Garp guy. To be precise, it's at most an internal struggle within the Goa Kingdom."

"The king of the Goa Kingdom once defied the authority of the World Government, thinking that he could avoid paying the 'Celestial Gold' by pleasing some Celestial Dragons, so he was punished."

"Recently, the plot to usurp the throne by Sir Otelluk III, the future ruler of the Goa Kingdom whom we have been supporting, and his adopted son Sterry, has been discovered."

"Then the Otrulk III family, with the help of CP, tried to seize power by force, but were defeated by 'Mountain Bandit King Sig' hired by the old king."

"Unexpectedly, Sabo, the eldest son of Otrulk III who was confirmed dead, suddenly returned and pointed out the king's ten major crimes, each of which was horrifying."

The Otrulk family, once universally reviled traitors, were transformed into "patriots" advocating for the people.

"Amidst a crowd of support, Otelluk III ascended the throne and declared the removal of the wall separating High Town and Central Street, and promulgated a number of policies that benefited the people."

"The bandit king, Sig, realized that he was no match for the combined attack of CP and Sabo, who was wearing blue armor. He injured CP and escaped with his men in the chaos."

Fortunately, the Celestial Dragons who went to the Goa Kingdom were in a bad mood and turned their ship around to go bird watching in the West Blue, so they were not harmed.

"It's Saint Seiya again! This unknown and transcendent power must be mastered by us!"

"Increase the bounty on this bandit king, Sig, by three thousand, no, fifty-eight million!"

"Yes!"

And so, the Five Elders' internal meeting ended with an increase in the bounty for the bandit king, Sig.

……

Donghai Windmill Village

At this moment, the bandit king Higuma was drinking and chatting happily with Sabo, the heir to the Goa Kingdom, completely unlike their previous tense and hostile demeanor.

"It seems that the World Government has also become corrupt, and the CP it cultivates is no longer up to par, completely lacking the style of the 'Knights of God'."

Sig drank the wine that macchiato handed him, showing none of the arrogance he displayed when Shanks was around.

He simply disliked Shanks, that cool guy.

Or perhaps they're just annoyed by One Piece.

He is usually quite reserved.

Shanks is already showing off, but he even dragged Luffy, such a cute kid, into becoming a pirate.

The thought makes me even more upset.

After all, he was in charge of the tavern and even the entire village, and he also helped drive away many pirates on a regular basis.
