Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 268 The Loguetown Incident Ends

"I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

Standing on the execution platform, Luffy shouted his declaration, his voice so loud that it stunned the audience below.

They weren't surprised that someone's dream was to become the Pirate King; they were just amazed at how brave the young man was!

Do you even know whose territory this is? By shouting like that, you're showing no respect for Colonel Smoker!

"Hey, Wang Luffy, look at the camera!" Luffy had no idea what the people below the stage were thinking. He was just about to enjoy the scenery for a while when he suddenly heard a shout from the front.

He looked up and saw a young man holding a camera, pointing it directly at him.

The problem is, he was standing on an execution platform that was thirty or forty meters high!

Therefore, this young man was also standing in the air.

"Wow, that's so cool!" Luffy's eyes lit up. "You can fly? Want to join my crew?"

"Sorry!" Ning Yuan laughed, "I'm a reporter, you know, I can't be a pirate. Wang Luffy, come look at the camera, strike a cool pose, and your photo will be in the newspaper tomorrow!"

"Oh, oh!" Luffy nodded quickly, then suddenly realized something was wrong: "Wait, I'm Monkey D. Luffy, not King Luffy!"

"Isn't Luffy, the Pirate King, surnamed Wang?" Ning Yuan was taken aback: "I remember there was someone named Roger Wang."

"That's not true at all!" Luffy roared in anger. "I'm the Pirate King, Luffy!"

"Oh, I know, Pirate King Luffy!" Ning Yuan gave a thumbs up: "You might not know, but I graduated from Shanhe University with a degree in Electronic Engineering. I scored 124 in Chinese on my college entrance exam, so my sentence segmentation skills are definitely top-notch!"

Luffy's forehead was covered in black lines: "I'm not taking pictures with you anymore, I hate you!"

"Haha, it would be my honor to be hated by the future Pirate King!" Ning Yuan laughed.

After all, with Luffy's personality, it's not easy to make an enemy of him.

"You know how to punctuate, don't you?" Luffy was even angrier. He clearly knew how to pronounce "Pirate King," but he insisted on calling me King Luffy.

Ning Yuan smiled. Of course, jokes are more interesting when they're played in front of the person in question, so interviews and such are secondary. Just the fact that he called Luffy "King Luffy" in front of him makes this trip worthwhile.

"Hmm?" Ning Yuan suddenly felt a strange wind blowing on him.

As Ning Yuan extended his Observation Haki, he immediately realized that the person he was waiting for had arrived.

Unfortunately, Buggy changed course because of the 1 million Berries he had, and didn't become enemies with Luffy.

Wouldn't that mean we wouldn't have that iconic scene of Luffy being executed?

Ning Yuan looked at the location of the execution platform and found it rather strange.

There was no building above the execution platform, so how did Bucky manage to carry such a huge shackle up there without anyone noticing?

Ning Yuan also spotted Alvida in the crowd. She was carrying a spiked club and staring angrily at Luffy on the execution platform, clearly intending to kill him.

But it seems like there's no good way to start.

It seems that famous scene is destined never to be repeated.

"Luffy!" After Luffy had been on the execution platform for about five minutes, Smoker finally arrived on his motorcycle.

"How dare you utter such words on the execution platform!" Smoker parked the car below the platform, then angrily got out, stretching out his arms: "Then you can just stay here!"

"This kid lacks any presence at all!!" Ning Yuan commented from the side, taking a picture as he did so.

A naval captain capturing a pirate with a bounty of 3000 million Berries is something that deserves to be featured in the World Economic Journal.

But if we add the identities of these two people, one is the grandson of the naval hero Garp, and the other is a direct subordinate of Admiral Aokiji.

The fact that the grandson of a naval hero went to sea to become a pirate is enough to make headlines!

Adding in the article about Conqueror's Haki and Luck, Ning Yuan's articles alone could take up an entire page!

"Tsk, as expected of me. I can easily become number one in any industry!"

Luffy was no match for Smoker. Enveloped in white smoke, he was pulled off the execution platform.

Smoker then beckoned to the soldiers beside him to put sea stone handcuffs on him.

At this moment, another member of the Straw Hat Pirates made a move.

Usopp!

That's right, the person who went to the plaza with Luffy was Usopp.

Although I was terrified, I still took out my slingshot and fired a rocket.

Then he was held down by the marines next to him.

"There's another one of Luffy's crew here!" The marine was extremely excited. This was an accomplice of a pirate with a bounty of 30 million! Capturing him would be a great achievement!

"Whoa!!" Usopp's head slammed into the ground, leaving him dazed and confused. He quickly shouted, "Wrong person! Wrong person! I'm not with him! Zoro, Sanji, come save us!"

Sanji was participating in a cooking competition, and Zoro was still buying a knife. If it weren't for the little time Buggy wasted, neither of them would have come over!

Seeing that the Straw Hat Boy was about to surrender, the father in the distance finally couldn't stand it anymore.

A sudden gust of wind arose, and dark, heavy clouds pressed down from the sky.

Smoker frowned; his cigarettes were most vulnerable to wind.

It's usually fine, but why is the wind so strong today?

And don't be fooled by the fact that this is a plaza. Because of the special architectural structure, no matter how strong the wind is here, it can't be this strong, and it can't even blow away your own smoke!

"Hurry up!" Seeing a marine carrying sea stone shackles running towards him, Smoker quickly handed Luffy over to him.

However, Luffy's hand was extended, but it ended up in someone else's hand.

A middle-aged man wearing a dark green robe, his face completely hidden in the hood.

As lightning struck, the middle-aged man's face appeared and disappeared in the flash of the lightning.

"It's you!" Smoker saw the face and was immediately shocked. "How could someone like you be here?"

Dragon smiled faintly and replied with a statement unrelated to the question: "Nothing can stop a young man from heading towards the sea!"

"Thank you, sir!"

The white smoke dissipated, and Luffy was instantly freed. Although he usually seemed a bit silly, he was quite clever now.

Realizing the situation was not right, he quickly thanked them, stretched out his arm to rescue Usopp who was unable to breathe, and then ran away!

"Bastard!" Smoker's eyes widened in fury.

We already let Buggy, who has Conqueror's Haki and incredible luck, escape today, but I didn't expect that even Luffy couldn't catch him!

"Click click click!"

Smoker looked up and saw Ning Yuan still snapping photos in the sky!

I imagine today's events will be in the newspapers tomorrow!

"Stop filming!" Smoker said impatiently. "Come help me!"

He knew Ning Yuan was strong, and with such strong winds, he could still stand steadily in the sky. Did you dare say that this person wasn't strong?

"I'm a reporter, I'm only responsible for recording the facts!" Ning Yuan laughed. "Fighting isn't my business!"

Smoker's face immediately darkened.

"And you might not know this, but Luffy's biological father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, his adoptive father is Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, his mentor is Rayleigh, his uncle is Admiral Kizaru, his other uncle is Admiral Aokiji, and his grandfather is Garp. If you capture him today, I'm afraid you'll be dismissed from your post tomorrow for getting your left foot into the branch first!"

"What?" Smoker was immediately shocked. Was it true?

Even Luffy's biological father was dumbfounded. Putting aside how many people in the world know that he is Garp's son, what kind of relationship is this with his master Rayleigh, uncle Kizaru, and uncle Aokiji?

That's utter nonsense!

"He's your son?" Smoker suddenly realized, then immediately looked at Dragon, who was grabbing his arm. "No wonder you came to save him, saying nothing could stop a young man from heading to the sea. Someone like you, trying to save your own son, has to be so secretive!"

Dorag didn't answer, but instead looked up at the sky.

He increased the wind speed in the sky, but Ning Yuan remained standing motionless.

Not only that, he also took out his camera again when Dorag looked up and started snapping photos.

I'm speechless.

He is now certain that this is the journalist who reported on the Konom Islands incident.

After all, the name matches and the appearance matches.

However, he was somewhat unsure whether he was actually inclined towards the revolutionary army.

Perhaps, when he wrote that article, he was simply a journalist trying to stir up trouble?

However, one cannot judge a person solely based on their performance; ultimately, further discussion is necessary.

Sometimes, they even have to fight.

He glanced in Luffy's direction, but Luffy was now completely out of sight.

A sudden downpour had begun, and in such a stormy weather, Smoker was clearly unable to launch an attack, so Luffy was safe.

We could have a chat with this reporter.

Just as Dragon was about to speak, Ning Yuan's voice came from above first: "Drag, your son is safe now, and you don't need to keep that navy officer in check anymore. How about we go somewhere else for an exclusive interview?"

"An exclusive interview? Sure!" Dragon laughed. "I dare to participate in the interview, but would your newspaper dare to publish it?"

"What's there to be afraid of!" Ning Yuan laughed. "Don't underestimate a journalist's curiosity to stir up big trouble!"

Morgans himself will request publication without them having to exert any effort.

"Alright!" Dragon nodded. "Then come with me!"

After saying that, he released Smoker and walked towards the coffee shop on the street.

Ning Yuan also descended from the sky, following closely behind.

"Reporter Ning?" Smoker exclaimed immediately, "That's the world's most notorious criminal!"

"It's alright!" Ning Yuan made an OK sign.

Smoker remained silent. Where did this reporter get his confidence? Even if he had some skill, could he possibly defeat Dorag?

"Colonel Smoker!" The play in the square was over, and Tashigi finally changed her clothes and came to the battlefield.

"What happened to your leg? You're limping." Smoker didn't ask Tashigi why she was late. The situation here was unexpected, and given Tashigi's strength, she wouldn't be of much help anyway.

Tashigi blushed and quickly shook her head: "It's nothing, I just twisted my ankle because I was in a hurry going down the stairs."

"Okay!" Smoker nodded. "Then I'll give you half a day off to rest. Tomorrow we'll assemble the troops and prepare the warships!"

"Should we go to war?" Tashigi asked hesitantly.

I haven't heard of any major pirate activity anywhere lately!

"It's time to go to war!" Smoker turned to the two people in the coffee shop next door and said angrily, "I'm going to catch up with Straw Hat Boy and drag him to Impel Down!"

If you're so capable, then you, as his father, should always follow him around and protect him!

If you really do that, then I'll have accomplished something great. A colonel can drag out the leader of the revolutionary army, and the Five Elders will be grinning from ear to ear!

"Yes!" Tashigi nodded immediately, then looked at the coffee shop next door, but she was looking at someone else.

What will he do if he has to go out to sea?

The atmosphere in the One Piece world is exactly the same as that in Naruto, where women are expected to give up their careers and become full-time housewives once they get married.

So you can see that women like Tsuru, Gion, and Hina, who have reached high positions, are either unmarried or remain unmarried for life.

The only exception is the older woman, but she is a powerful figure and cannot be generalized.

Now that she's with Ning Yuan, whether she can go to sea or continue serving in the navy depends on Ning Yuan's decision.

Ningyuan probably won't support it.

However, my dream has not yet been realized, nor has it even begun.

I really want to continue serving in the Navy!
