Pirate: I am King Luffy

He made a necklace for Uta, using diamonds, rubies and gold to create a heart shape for the girl to wear.

The small heart fell into the slightly marked ditch, sparkling.

"So beautiful!" Uta looked at the sparkling heart necklace on her chest. This heart reminded her of the first time she asked Luffy to give her a gift.

Luffy only stingily drew a simple heart on her shoulder, and finally drew a complex and beautiful heart on her belly.

At this time, their warships had just begun to be transformed. Fortunately, they had nothing else to do and just lived on the island.

Another two months passed.

On December 12, the girls gave Bellmère another birthday present. Bellmère's birthday was in December, two months later than Uta.

"Even I am involved?" Bellmère was a little surprised.

"Because Bell-mère has worked so hard!" Nami held the cake with a sunny smile on her face.

"Adults are no more than this." Bellmère's eyes glistened with tears.

There were only eighteen candles on the cake, and the faint candlelight flickered in the darkness.

"The best gift would be if you could stop causing me trouble!"

"That's impossible. Nami is clumsy and will cause a lot of trouble." Nojigo said with a smile.

In the year 1514 of the Sea Circle Calendar, the pirates were much more well-behaved because they knew that this was the year when the World Conference would be held.

The true overlords of the sea, the Navy and the World Government are warning the world not to cause trouble.

Naval Headquarters.

"Ignore those pirates and do your best to protect the kings as they participate in the World Conference. There can't be any more mistakes!"

Behind the Warring States period is written his justice: to rule the world.

"We will kill anyone who stands in our way and show our strength to the lawless!"

Buddha's Warring States Period, looking at the three generals who were promoted, said.

After his family was killed, Zephyr only retained the position of admiral and was in semi-retirement. After he lost his hand, he was removed from the ranks of admirals. The World Government also noticed the decline of the navy and asked them to prepare new admirals immediately.

Qing, Chi, and Huang, the three who had demonstrated monstrous strength at the lieutenant general stage, naturally became the new admirals.

They have sufficient strength and military merit.

"Karp, you are responsible for your own country..." the marshal gave the order.

"No." The old man crossed his legs and pinched his nose and said.

The atmosphere in the originally dignified meeting room was immediately disrupted by him.

"Huh?" Zhan Guo asked in confusion.

"Don't you go back often?"

"Returning to my hometown is different from protecting the king. The royal family of the ugliest country makes me feel sick. Maybe I will punch them in the weird face." Karp said.

"Then go to Alabasta!"

Sengoku folded his arms across his chest.

"The desert country? Sure."

Zhan Guo continued to assign tasks to other people, and the three admirals were sent to the most dangerous locations, where their strength could be perfectly demonstrated to achieve the navy's goal of deterring the sea.

In March, Luffy's ship completed the final test and was ready to sail at any time.

"This is a mechanical ship. It can fire freely without manpower. The shells are transported and loaded by gears and springs. The disadvantage is that it can only attack fixed positions and is not very flexible."

The mayor introduced the functions of the new ship to them.

The overall expansion was doubled, and elevators, automatic mechanical cannons, various clocks, and various mechanisms to prevent pirates from boarding the ship were installed...

They made up for the ship's lack of long-range firepower, allowing the mechanical ship to fire freely.

"Not bad." Luffy was wearing a straw hat, with a sword on his back, and playing with a new pistol in his hand.

He upgraded his weapon system here and combined it with local black technology to create a new pistol with more stable accuracy.

Closer to a modern pistol.

"This thing is quite simple. No wonder many workshop masters boast that they can make a gun."

Luffy thought as he admired his beloved gun.

The main reason is that I can't control my hands. When I see a steel pipe, I think about making rifling. After the rifling is done, I'll make some brass to make bullets. After the bullets are ready, I'll upgrade it again, and upgrade it again...

All kinds of parts came out.

In addition to pistols, Luffy also made semi-automatic rifles and machine guns...

Luffy felt that this was not his problem, the academic atmosphere on Clockwork Island was too strong.

Luffy was looking at the three-meter-tall, unfinished Gundam that was driven out by the islanders in the distance, and thought to himself.

"Come and play again when you have time!"

The islanders gathered on the shore and watched them board the warship, waving goodbye.

"Well, I'll definitely come and play when I have time!"

Uta and Nami waved goodbye to the people of Clockwork Island.

"That boy is unexpectedly talented and has many novel ideas..." The mayor said to his wife as he watched the ship going away.

"We're setting sail again. Let's go home first!" Luffy said with a smile while lying on the bow of the mechanical ship.

"Well, go home, go home!" Nami cheered happily.

"It's been a year since I came out without realizing it." Bellmère said as he checked the firepower while holding a brand new machine gun with his bare hands.

"It feels so good to sail on the sea. You never get tired and you can go wherever you want." Nami looked at the nautical chart.

"Hmm... I remember that I still have something to settle with Grandpa."

Luffy took out the Den Den Mushi and called his grandfather.

"What's wrong?" Uta asked.

"It's about the report last year," he said.

"After being on Clockwork Island for so long, it shouldn't have any effect, but I still have to ask Grandpa what's going on!"

When the call came through, the snail looked like he deserved a beating.

"Luffy, I haven't called grandpa in a long time!"

Den Den Mushi snail tickled his nose.

"Because I've been playing on Clockwork Island for a long time, Grandpa, what on earth is going on with that thing!"

"What's going on? What happened?" Karp looked confused.

"It's about the hero title!" Luffy walked on the narrow fence.

"Oh, that thing? It's a small matter. And why are you asking about it now? It happened last year."

"That's because I forgot while I was traveling on the island. It's not too late to tell you now. This is very dangerous. What if the pirates assassinate me?"

"Grandpa will burn incense for you, that's all."

"Bastard Grandpa!"

"There's nothing I can do. A lot of bad things happened last year, and there wasn't any good news. I had no choice but to use you as a show. Isn't it good to be a hero?"

"I don't want to be a hero!"

"It's come to this, there's no way to change it. Just accept it for now. I, your grandpa, still have to take over as king, so I won't waste any more time talking to you." Karp said, pinching his nose.

"To pick up the king?"

"Well, it means to go to the World Conference. This kind of thing is so troublesome. I have to go to Alabasta to pick up the royal family and take them to the holy land of Marijoa..." Garp said without much energy.

"It's too painful."

In other words, are we going to the Grand Line?

"Grandpa, please take me there too. I want to see the legendary Grand Line!" Luffy said, thinking about the Grand Line.

"Um...are you coming?" Garp scratched his head.

"Come on, I'll wait for you in Alabasta, and we'll go over from the Red Continent." Garp pondered for a few seconds and agreed to Luffy's request.

"Is there still enough time?"

"It's okay. We were supposed to act early. It will take quite some time to get to Alabasta. The royal family will have to dawdle for a while before escorting us to Marijoa... It's okay for you to take your time."

Click.

Den Den Mushi ended the call.

"Okay, everyone, let's go to Alabasta together!"

Luffy held the Den Den Mushi and looked at everyone.

"Are we going to Alabasta?" Nami looked at the sea chart.

"That's on the Grand Line, right? We don't know what's on the Grand Line."

Nami said.

"It's okay. Go home and rest, then go to Rogue Town and ask the navy there for it." Luffy crossed his arms and smiled excitedly.

"I'm so curious, the Grand Line!"

"That place is not a good area. There are many horror rumors." Bellmère lit a lady's cigarette and walked aside and said.

"It's okay, my grandpa will pick me up there."

"Luffy's grandfather..." Nami stood aside like a lady, thinking about something.

"Yes, when I see my grandfather, I will ask him to give me a birthday present!" said Uta.

"But, you've already had your birthday, right?" Nami asked puzzledly.

"Huh, because that grandpa always likes to beat Luffy for no reason!"

"Luffy was beaten and cried. As his sister, I want to avenge him!" Uta said happily.

"Hey, Uta, there's no need to stress about this kind of thing!" Luffy shouted with his fists clenched.

"Luffy is crying because of being beaten?" Nami looked at Luffy.

"Forget it! Just forget about this kind of thing!"

Luffy's fists stiffened.

"There's nothing I can do. Grandpa's fist is too foul..."

"Be good, sister will protect you!" Uta said, touching Luffy's head.

The return trip was significantly faster because everyone had visited the islands along the way and did not need to make too many stops.

Only some islands would stop for necessary supplies, and Moo Moo sailed at full speed.

Armored iron bull, moving at full speed!

……

Back in Cocoyasi Village, Nami, Bell-mère, and Nojigo were all noticeably more relaxed. "We're home, we're home!"

Nami and Nojigo ran on the khaki road, excitedly running to the suburban duplex villa area. Bellmère walked behind them, "Be careful, don't fall!"

"Are you back, Bellmère? You've been away for a year!"

Ajian greeted Bellmère.

"Well, a lot of things happened..." Bellmair said with a smile.
