Pirate: I am King Luffy

"Don't I have eyes to see?" Luffy said as a matter of course.

"It's no use just watching. You'll understand the adult world only when you become an adult."

He looked at the kid who always liked to exercise, stretched out his finger, and poked Luffy's elbow with the nails that had some black dirt on them, causing the kid to lose his exercise and fall to the ground.

"Luffy, how many have you made?"

"do not know."

Luffy turned over and lay on the ground, his chest heaving, and he silently felt his rapidly beating heart.

Luffy never counts when he exercises, he just rests when he is tired. He rests when he wants to, sleeps when he is tired, and exercises after eating. The world of children is so simple.

"Hehe, little devil..."

"Uncle, what is your position in Shanks' ship?" Luffy asked.

"Sniper, don't call me uncle. I'm not old at all. I'm at the age of chasing my dreams. Call me Jesus Bu! This name will be famous all over the world."

"You look like a small fry, but you also want to be famous?" Luffy pinched his nose, raised his hand to wipe the sweat around his eyes with his clothes, and looked at the man.

Terrible yellow hair, a headscarf with the word "YASOPP" tied on the forehead, thin limbs, and the word "trash" written all over his face.

"Hey!"

Jesus Bu yelled at Luffy while flicking his tongue.

"Don't look at me like that. I'm a sniper. I can hit an ant's antennae from a hundred feet away without damaging the rest of its body. I'm the pursuer. I was specially recruited by Shanks!"

He showed off to the little devil beside him.

"It's only about thirty meters." Luffy pondered for a moment, finally remembered the conversion formula for feet, and made a disdainful sound.

"Hitting the target is useless. It's really cool to defeat or even kill it."

"I can tell from the first glance that you are a brat who doesn't know how to fight. When the enemy is concentrating on the battle, I can sneak in and make a move, which will be enough to decide the outcome of the battle."

"When masters fight, every second counts."

Jesus was elated.

"Do you make all your guns by yourselves?" Luffy looked at Jesus Bu's gun. The style of the gun was a bit similar to Beckman's, a long-handled pistol.

"No, this is the best pistol, bought from the North Sea. In a place like the East Sea, you can't get these high-end goods even if you rob them."

Jesus wiped his beloved gun.

"Come to think of it." Luffy nodded.

How could pirates have their own arsenal to produce advanced weapons like guns? Kaido's factory only produces samurai swords and makes seastone.

Advanced firearms...I'll ask grandpa for one later.

"Luffy, come and play skipping stones with me!" The door of the shooting room was kicked open by the pirates, and several unknown pirates rushed in. They wildly pulled Luffy up from the ground, carried him on their shoulders, and turned around and left.

He didn't pay any attention to Luffy's answer.

Pirates are a bunch of people who don't know how to be polite.

When we got to the deck, there were already a lot of pirates gathered there. There was also a hill of wet stones with many small holes on them, which looked a bit disgusting.

Luffy's scalp exploded when he saw this thing.

"What is this? It looks disgusting."

"It's a barnacle. Barnacles look like stones, but they are actually a kind of animal." The pirates answered and picked up a piece of barnacle.

"When I went fishing in the sea, I found a lot of these things sucked under the boat, so I took some back."

"You call this a little?" Luffy looked at the piled up barnacles.

"The skipping stone competition has begun. Whoever skips the farthest is the winner!"

The pirates cheered loudly.

They grabbed a piece of barnacle and threw it onto the water. Luffy felt the whistling wind and the sea water splashed because of the object flying at high speed.

This is a noise he could never possibly make, so why would he be asked to participate in this skipping stone competition?

Luffy stared blankly at the barnacles flying off into the distance at high speed.

Luffy didn't know how many meters he flew. He could only see the sea water fluctuating for about 500 meters before it stopped.

"Look at mine!" Another pirate grabbed the barnacle and threw it out. This time the pirate was very skillful. The thing bounced on the water several times and flew thousands of meters away.

The pirates were immersed in this little game, and Luffy walked aside with an expressionless face. So, these pirates called me out to be a spectator?

Luffy just watched from the side as a spectator.

Then he also immersed himself in the activity of skipping stones on water. Even watching others skipping stones on water was quite interesting. One of the men skipped stones on water and it exploded a hundred times.

Luffy didn't know the exact number. The pirates told him the number, probably because of their Observation Haki. So he became the undisputed king of skipping stones and won the cheers of everyone.

Luffy was also cheering, this was an incredible technique.

When he came to his senses, he realized that these pirates simply wanted the admiring look of the child.

Damn it, sir!

"Look what this is, guys? I just caught this, it's a 800-pound fish!"

Another fisherman came over with a fish caught with his bare hands, showing off like a treasure.

"Damn, is this what you caught? Are you sure you didn't catch it in the sea?" The pirates looked at him with envy.

"Hahahaha, I'm going to have this for lunch today!"

"This little bit is not enough to fill my teeth. Just wait, I'm going to catch a king of the offshore fish!"

"Does anyone want a drink? The chef has made cold drinks." Uta came over with a few glasses of juice with ice cubes.

"I want ice milk." Luffy chose the milk he needed most.

"Luffy! If only you put half as much effort into studying as you do into exercising."

Uta looked at Luffy's wet clothes and knew what this guy had been doing in the morning.

"Then... I need at least three beautiful girls to study with so that I can study seriously."

Luffy made a three gesture and was met with a glare from Uta.

Chapter 19 My Navy Hero Grandpa

At noon a week later, Luffy was unable to use Conqueror's Haki because he had arrived at the Glass Bead Island.

This is a very lively island. From a distance you can see the tall buildings and concrete floors on the island, which is already the level of a wealthy town.

There are several pirate ships anchored outside the island. It seems that some pirate ships are consuming on the island.

Pirates are not necessarily robbers. After they have robbed a fortune, these criminals don't mind spending money as law-abiding citizens for a while, and then turning into scum when they run out of money.

Just like a tiger is less aggressive after it has eaten its fill, it is an ironic fact that the prosperity of many places is driven by pirates helping to drive economic development.

"land!"

Luffy cheered and jumped off the boat.

He hadn't touched the ground for many days, and even touching the soil felt unreal.

"Luffy, be safe and don't make too much noise."

Shanks stuffed a stack of banknotes into Uta's hand. This was the reward Uta got for winning the treasure hunt game.

Shanks fanned himself with his straw hat and looked at the luxurious island. "We'll stay here for three days and then continue on our way."

He makes judgments.

The pirates rushed to the land.

This is not a small place like Windmill Village where you have money but nowhere to spend it.

Glass Bead Island has the pirates' favorite industry - casinos.

Uta slowly walked down the stairs to get off the boat. Shanks seemed to remember something and threw the straw hat in his hand. The hat spun in the air and fell on Uta's head.

Uta reached out and grasped the two ends of the straw hat, spinning around very ladylike, showing off the white dress she was wearing, the diamond necklace around her neck, and the pearls wrapped around her wrists.

What a style of a rich lady.

"I'm pretty, right, Luffy!" Uta looked at his peer expectantly.

"Well, Uta is the most beautiful today." Luffy gave a thumbs up. Putting aside the different colored hair, Uta is still a cute little girl.

"Even if you say something nice, I won't give you the money, and I won't buy anything for Luffy!"

Uta snorted and put his hands on his hips.

"I'm not interested in money." Luffy touched the pocket of his trousers.

"It's too much trouble to carry something like Bailey."

Luffy followed the pirates towards the town.

The merchants on Glass Bead Island were not afraid of these pirates who came from afar. In this world, opening a business requires courage.

A businessman without courage cannot succeed. As long as the pirates don't hold machetes at their necks, they will treat the pirates as rich people.

It’s time to rip off the customers.

"Welcome," Dear guests who have come from afar, the weapons here are very sharp, and we have the best swords for sale!

"Do you need a change of clothes? Our DOSKOI PANDA clothing store is world famous!"

The shop owners eagerly called out to the pirates.

“This is the island I want!”

There were little stars twinkling in Uta's eyes. The first place she went to was the DOSKOI PANDA clothing store. Luffy saw that the little skirts there were priced at least three thousand Baileys.

That’s enough for a month of hanging out at the Makino Bar in Windmill Village.

"So beautiful!" Uta was completely immersed in the sea of ​​clothes.

Luffy walked over to the boys' clothing section nearby and picked up a few pieces of clothing that fit him.

Luffy thought that he looked quite handsome in the black suit, but considering that he exercised regularly, Luffy still bought sportswear.

There was no need to try on clothes. Luffy selected a few pieces and asked the boss to pack them up.

"A total of 30,000 Baileys." The boss rubbed his thumbs excitedly.

"Hey, you have a naval base here, right?"

Luffy has no money, but he always has a way.

"Of course. The big businessmen on Glass Bead Island give a large sum of Baileys to the nearby naval base every year as financial aid," said the boss.

"My account is with the Navy."

"Are you kidding me, little brat?" The boss looked at Luffy in confusion.

"Remember my name, my name is Monkey D. Luffy, and my grandfather is a navy hero, Monkey D. Garp."

Luffy took out a photo taken in Windmill Village, which was also his only family photo.

In the photo, little Luffy is sitting on Garp's shoulders, and the two are very close.

"Nani!!!"

The boss' eyes almost popped out.

He looked at the photo of Luffy in disbelief, and compared it with the current Luffy.

You can tell it's me because my face looks a bit dull.

"A Navy hero...has a grandson?!!!"

"Hush, I'm the grandson of a hero. If I shout louder, the pirates will find out and use me to threaten my grandfather."

Luffy made a shushing gesture.

The boss nodded hurriedly, this is Garp's grandson!
