Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

That abnormal recovery ability, the irrational berserk state, and those strange black markings on his body—all of these are exactly the same as Whitebeard's state during the Impel Down war.

Whitebeard's situation has been confirmed to be related to the World Government.

"The Giant King should be dead," Sengoku muttered to himself.

Karp shrugged, indicating that he didn't know what was going on either.

If Harald the Giant King is still alive and has become like this, then this matter must be related to the World Government.

What worries Garp even more is that if the giants knew that their king was still alive and had been turned into this inhuman and ghostly state by the World Government, would they still maintain their current neutral stance?

It's important to know that the giants are the most powerful fighting race in the world.

If they stop remaining neutral, it won't be a good thing for the world government.

The ocean is already chaotic enough.

Just then, a gasp interrupted Garp and Sengoku's thoughts.

Neptune and his crew received the latest newspaper, which reported the Straw Hat Pirates' great victory on Whole Cake Island.

Neptune couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "The Straw Hat Boy is truly remarkable!"

Upon hearing his grandson's name, Garp immediately came over. "What? Let me see! Hahahaha! As expected of my grandson, he's taken down another Yonko so quickly."

He laughed as he patted Sengoku's shoulder hard, tears welling up in his eyes.

Sengoku, with a deadpan expression, watched Garp gloating over his actions.

Thankfully, he's no longer a Fleet Admiral.

If he were still in that position, he would be furious.

The balance of the ocean that he had painstakingly maintained was broken one after another by Garp's grandson, and to make matters worse, the culprit grandfather was clapping and cheering on from the sidelines. Anyone would be furious if they were in that situation.

As for what the current Fleet Admiral is feeling right now, Sengoku doesn't even need to think about it to know.

He's probably smashing the table in his office right now.

Although Neptune was filled with gratitude towards the Straw Hat crew, he did not show any excessive closeness in public. This was Mary Geoise, the headquarters of the World Government, and every move he made was under the watchful eyes of others.

He still knows how to restrain himself.

"Hey, is it news from Lord Luffy?"

Just then, a clear voice came from not far away.

Immediately afterwards, a small figure flew over at an extremely fast speed and landed directly on the newspaper in Neptune's hand.

It was a little human, dressed in green clothes and wearing a small hat on its head.

It was Leo, a warrior from the Kingdom of Tontatta.

"It really is Lord Luffy! He's defeated another Yonko!" Leo shouted excitedly.

Behind him, Lao Cai, the 12th generation pillar of the Babao Navy, walked over, covering his face.

There wasn't even time to cover their mouths.

To act like you have a great relationship with the Straw Hat crew in a place like this is just asking for trouble, isn't it?

This is a world conference, and they are surrounded by member states of the world government. Who knows if someone is watching them?

However, before Lao Cai could figure out how to smooth things over, Rebecca also ran over.

"News about Mr. Luffy? What big thing did he do this time?"

Old Cai gave up completely.

There's nothing we can do; these two people simply don't understand the concept of appropriate occasions.

However, the Warring States period did not show any dissatisfaction.

He had been to Dressrosa before and had a good relationship with the Tontatta clan. He was also quite aware of what the Straw Hat crew had been doing in Dressrosa. If it weren't for the Straw Hat Pirates, that madman Doflamingo would still be running rampant in Dressrosa.

As for Garp, needless to say, seeing his grandson so popular, even though he's a pirate, the old man couldn't stop smiling.

At least this proves that his educational approach was correct!

Rebecca and Leo were huddled around the newspaper, exclaiming in amazement as they discussed Luffy's feat on Whole Cake Island. Their commotion soon attracted the attention of another person.

Cobra, the King of Alabasta.

“King Neptune.” Cobra walked over and nodded slightly to Neptune.

“King Cobra,” Neptune returned the greeting.

Although the two kings had never met, they had both heard of each other's reputation and admired each other to some extent.

“I have long admired your name, wise king of Alabasta,” Neptune said.

“Guardian of Fishman Island, I have long heard of your deeds,” Cobra replied with a smile.

After a round of mutual flattery, their eyes fell on the newspaper at the same time.

Neptune knew that Cobra's daughter, Princess Vivi, was currently sailing with the Straw Hat crew.

But Cobra didn't know that Neptune's daughter, Princess Shirahoshi, was also sailing with the Straw Hat crew.

So Cobra thought Neptune's gaze was a little strange.

There seemed to be a sense of "I understand you" in his eyes, but it was also something more complex than just "I understand you".

Cobra thought about it carefully and felt that it might be his imagination. After all, this was the first time he had met Neptune, and there was no reason for the other party to look at him like that.

Neptune sighed inwardly.

Cobra doesn't know yet.

I wonder what his expression will be when he finds out that his daughter and his own daughter are on the same boat, and both are that Straw Hat Boy's partners.

We're in the same boat.

......

For Luffy, defeating Big Mom is not a big deal.

As a sea emperor himself, is there any need to be proud of defeating another sea emperor?

The exciting thing is that we've obtained the second Road Poneglyph. Once we get Kaido's Poneglyph, we'll be just one step away from Laugh Tale.

Pedro felt it was a bit unrealistic; how could one of the Four Emperors be defeated by a watery beauty like that?

Even the lifespan he lost seemed to return somewhat with Big Mom's defeat, as if Big Mom's ability was similar to Moria's, causing him to temporarily lose control after losing consciousness.

One day later, they had already left the waters around Whole Cake Island.

The matter was resolved satisfactorily, the only thing that Nami felt was not entirely satisfactory was... she looked at Reiju, who was smiling sweetly on the deck, with a hint of gloom.

Why did this guy follow us here?

Chapter 517 A City Full of Gold

"There was nothing I could do. I couldn't disobey my father's orders. He told me to do what I had done before."

Faced with Nami's gaze, Reiju spread her hands innocently and said...

This is true; none of the Vinsmoke family's children, except for Sanji, could refuse Judge's orders.

However, Reiju had no intention of resisting her father's order. She was happy to spend some time with her younger brother Sanji, whom she hadn't seen in a long time, and her first kiss was with Straw Hat Luffy, the Emperor of the Sea who had just defeated the Big Mom Pirates.

It's the kind of thing that makes you feel proud to talk about it.

The sunlight here is really nice. Reiju stretched and yawned, enjoying the view. Her long legs gleamed softly in the sunlight.

Since we're here, let's make the best of it.

She has always been a rather laid-back person.

"What happened before?" Perona floated over, holding her doll, and finally stopped in front of Reiju, her big eyes filled with confusion.

She didn't know.

After leaving Whole Cake Island, Reiju encountered Germa 66 again, and for some reason, she stayed.

Sanji's expression was actually a bit unpleasant at the time, not towards Reiju, but towards his nominal father.

Nami said, somewhat aggrieved, that it was nothing.

whats the matter?

It's about a marriage alliance!

After witnessing Big Mom's crushing defeat, the members of Germa 66, who were allies of Big Mom, almost immediately forgot about her and went straight up to express their desire to cooperate, only to be rejected by Luffy.

Sanji's father, Judge, also clearly understood the situation. Germa 66 was not in a position to say no to the Straw Hats. A pirate crew that could defeat two Yonko in succession was no longer a force that a mercenary nation like theirs, without territory, could contend with. So he proposed a marriage alliance, which, unsurprisingly, was rejected again.

However, this time Garji did not give up easily. Getting on board with the Straw Hat Pirates was the most important thing for Germa 66.

Moreover, he heard about what happened on the Straw Hat ship from Reiju. Didn't he expect that Reiju and Luffy had such a thing going on before?

He figured he could use this as leverage to repay a debt of gratitude, so he instructed Reiju to complete the mission.

Regardless, there's no reason to refuse Sanji's sister's request to stay on the ship for a few days. Even if Sanji hates his family, he still has affection for his sister Reiju.

"Really not?" Perona circled around Nami like a curious child.

"No, there really isn't any."

Nami forced a smile.

This kind of thing shouldn't be known by too many people!

Meanwhile, Luffy, the protagonist of this major event, was leisurely eating, looking nothing like a sea emperor who had just defeated one of the Four Emperors.

"Hey, that's my meat!"

Hearing Perona's voice, Luffy ate even faster, and by the time Perona floated back, there wasn't a bone left.

"Luffy!" Perona couldn't help but pull at the guy's face.

If those pirates who were terrified on Whole Cake Island were to see this scene, their eyes would probably pop out of their sockets.
