Pirate: I am King Luffy

Alabasta is a superpower, so the news above naturally serves as the headlines.

Did it happen?

This kind of thing...

Luffy thought to himself.

The first wave of rebellion in Alabasta was triggered by dancing fans.

There is a water shortage in the area near the capital, but there is plenty of rain in the capital, Aruba.

Because the capital itself is an oasis, people did not immediately suspect. After all, the water shortage and drought in Alabasta have not been a one- or two-day thing, so they would not think in the direction of the dancing powder.

But... once the thing called dancing powder appears, people's emotions will immediately become extreme, and they will think that this is not God's will, but a man-made disaster.

They thought the king had taken away their rain.

Public outrage began.

Luffy glanced at the news above, calmly took the page away and crumpled it into a ball.

"I've finished reading, Weiwei, it's your turn."

"I don't want it anymore!" Vivi looked at Luffy angrily.

"Angry, so scary~" Luffy said with a smile.

"There's some great news in it. If you call me brother, I'll show you the newspaper."

"Not interested, no." Weiwei snorted.

The World Economic News has always been like that. There is very little news related to Alabasta. Weiwei lives peacefully in this country and naturally does not feel that any major news in the newspaper will affect her country.

"Are you really angry?" Luffy asked, tilting his head.

Seeing Luffy like this, Vivi hummed a tune and walked into the villa.

Uta took the newspaper and looked at it, touching the page number.

"One is missing?" She looked at Luffy in confusion.

The feel was not right. The number of pages in the World Economic Journal had always been the same. She had read it since she was a child. She could tell the thickness was wrong just by touching it.

"Here." Luffy threw the rolled-up newspaper over.

"it's here."

Luffy threw the crumpled newspaper to Uta.

She looked at this page first. Since it was put away, it must have recorded something extraordinary.

Then she saw the civil unrest in Alabasta.

"How could this be possible..."

Uta exclaimed in a low voice, and turned around to look for Weiwei, but saw that she had already walked into the house to read a book.

"what happened?"

Nami and Nojigao came closer and saw the shocking title.

"This is impossible."

They all spoke up.

Anyone who has come into contact with the king would not believe that this report is true.

"What should we do now?" Uta frowned.

“Will the World Government be angry?” she said. Having read history, she knew the character of the World Government very well.

"No, they will remain silent."

Luffy said.

"Alabasta holds a special status."

The navy's intelligence will be directly open to them, and the higher the rank, the more intelligence will be open to them.

When Luffy compared the information with the plot he remembered, he understood the special status of Alabasta.

If it were a normal member state, things like dancing powder would not be done secretly but would be reported directly in the news.

The Navy has already started giving iron-fist warnings, and at least a large fine will be required to write it off.

But Alabasta doesn't have that. The government's attitude towards Alabasta is to stand by and watch.

That is to say, let it fend for itself.

I won't take action because of dancing fans, nor will I take action because of pirates.

Smoker once called for reinforcements from the government here, but the government simply ignored his request.

He was so angry that he went to find his good friend, Tina, for help.

"Huh?" Uta asked in confusion.

Luffy had no intention of answering. He took the newspaper and flames suddenly burst out, burning the newspaper directly.

"We are just out here to have fun, and we should have fun. We should tell her about this kind of thing when we are ready to go back."

Luffy said.

"Maybe it's just a small matter, and King Cobra can deal with it quickly."

"Is that so?" Uta thought with some confusion.

"I'm going to go play with Vivi." Luffy said.

"Let's go..." Wuta nodded.

"Let's screen the newspapers during this time and try not to let Weiwei see them."

Uta thought about it and added.

"Vivi~" Luffy walked into the living room and saw the girl reading a math book. When she saw him come in, she covered her face with the book, crossed her legs, and swayed gently on her toes.

"Are you still angry?" Luffy leaned over to look at her nose.

The girl continued to use the book to cover herself, and then she lay on her side, with her clothes lifted up, revealing a small vertical line on her belly.

Luffy poked it with his finger.

"ah!"

Vivi reacted quickly. She jumped up as if she was installed on a spring, and then angrily hit Luffy.

Luffy ran away grinning.

After a short stay of a few days in Kokoyasi Village, Luffy's Den Den Mushi rang. He took out the Den Den Mushi and a square-faced old man's face appeared on it.

"Luffy!"

Den Den Mushi yelled at him.

"Grandpa is too loud!"

"Where have you been again? I called Makino and she said you left a long time ago!"

"I'm on my way to visit my relatives." Luffy said.

“There are still several places I haven’t visited yet.”

"You're too slow. It's been almost a year since you left! How did you manage to be so slow?" Karp asked in disbelief.

"It's not bad. It just took a little longer to cross the Red Earth Continent. As you know, crossing that place is very slow."

"Why don't you just go up the Upside Down Mountain?"

"Bellmaire is on board. He will be scared. The mountain is quite high. The boat will be carried by the current and climb a slope of nearly 90 degrees."

"Then you will take a year off, and you won't be able to come back this year." Garp said puzzledly. He calculated the time and knew that Luffy would be absent from work for a year.

"That's probably it. So, Grandpa, is that why you called to ask me? I've worked so hard as a sailor, so what's wrong with taking a vacation?"

Luffy chatted with Garp while enjoying the sea breeze.

"Grandpa, why are you calling?"

"What are you talking about? I thought you were only going to be back for half a year, but I didn't expect it to be so long. Another one of my training plans has been scrapped!"

"I'm also getting stronger~" Luffy said lazily.

"Then can you do it, using only physical strength and a 500-yuan coin to sink a warship?" Karp asked with a smile.

The size of a 500-Beli coin is similar to that of a dollar coin. If a coin of this grade is used to sink an ordinary warship...

Luffy thought about it and said, "I can't do that. I can easily penetrate it with Haki."

"No matter how you think about it, you should just punch through it. It doesn't make sense physically to sink a ship."

"You should continue hitting the sandbag." Karp said after a moment of silence.

"It's not enough to master the inner strength. To exert the strength, you have to control the strength you exert," said Karp.

"I can stand on the ship holding a huge cannonball in one hand without being pinned into the deck by the excessive weight."

"You have to make the force of the blow so that it can be spread and gathered at will."

"Using a coin to penetrate a warship is a concentrated penetration, while using a coin to sink a warship is a dispersed destruction."

"There is also this effect in swordsmanship. Although it is Tang Zhu coming from above, it can knock people away, achieving the effect of an upward strike."

Well, Kuina often does this and knocks Zoro away.

He had never noticed it before, but after hearing what Karp said, he immediately noticed it and then mastered this technique.

"I know how to do it. Is there anything else?" Luffy asked.

I haven't called Karp for a long time, and his skills have exploded.

"You take your time to practice. I'm going to find Sengoku to make tea." Capti nodded to Luffy, hung up the phone, and swaggered to the marshal's office.

"Disperse the power and create an overall attack, right?"

Luffy picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at a landscape tree.

Normally, the stone would penetrate the tree directly, leaving a hole, but this time, the penetrating force was dispersed throughout the tree the moment it touched the tree.

The entire tree was broken into pieces.

"Let's get ready to go to Shimotsuki Village." Luffy twisted his waist and walked back.

"Navy kid, where on earth did you dump my body?"

The short Mini Buggy gritted his teeth as he looked at Luffy who was coming back from a distance.

"I don't know. Maybe it sank into the sea?" Luffy said.

"hateful!!!"

Bucky was extremely angry. His hands were wearing seastone handcuffs and an iron chain was connected to a fifty-centimeter-high house.

This is Bucky's temporary home.

"You might as well throw me into Impel Down!" Bucky said angrily.

Such a life is really humiliating.

"No way."

Luffy patted Buggy's head, then he curiously took off the pirate hat on Buggy's head and found that this guy actually had twin ponytails.

"Give me back my hat!" Bucky angrily reached out to grab the hat and put it on his head.

"You still look better wearing a hat..." Luffy said after thinking for a moment.

As for a twin-tailed warrior like Buggy, let’s just... forget it.
