Pirate: I am King Luffy

A huge crocodile passed by. It was a banana crocodile. It had banana-like things on its head and tail, and a man-made house on its back.

Crocodiles have been domesticated by humans and turned into a means of transportation.

In the land of Aruba, there are not many people who can tame such a terrifying monster as the banana crocodile.

Luffy narrowed his eyes and subconsciously calculated the speed of the Banana Crocodile. This thing must be able to travel at a speed of 90 kilometers per hour, right?

But this is the second fastest animal, and the first is the race of running ducks.

When Karoo reaches adulthood, it is possible for it to run hundreds of kilometers per hour. As Weiwei said, its speed exceeds that of a cheetah.

Luffy was shocked by his own calculations.

As expected of an unreasonable anime world, the speed of the monsters is so abstract. They have such an astonishingly huge body and at the same time, powerful speed.

I don’t know how fast the elephant master is.

Luffy thought about what he knew about the world's largest and most terrifying species.

I couldn't help but wonder, if the elephants were a race, a group...

This world is at least fifty times larger than the previous world. Only in this way can it accommodate the activities of the giant beasts and form an ecosystem.

Luffy doesn't know exactly how old he is because the navy school doesn't teach this.

After sailing for several days, the sand cart arrived in Aruba.

"When will Crocodile arrive?" Luffy asked Robin.

"He's still dealing with things at Oasis," Robin replied.

"Once he has dealt with all the oases, come to Aruba and take this place. I will show him the evidence and you have to be a good translator." Luffy said.

"Well, I will. After all, I am extremely curious about the real history." Robin smiled.

Always prepare for the worst.

Luffy thought about what Nami had said about what to do if the contract was broken.

Luffy was also thinking about this question. As long as he didn't hold out hope, he wouldn't be disappointed.

From the very beginning, the probability of Crocodile breaking the contract was calculated.

Only in this way can we deal with it more calmly when the contract is really breached.

Having said that,...

Luffy listed the information about Crocodile in his mind.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea all need to be dealt with by Vice Admirals. Such a gap in strength...

“It’s so painful to think about the future!”

Luffy cleared his mind.

Kalu came staggering in from outside, a kettle hanging around his neck.

"Karou, let's have a running race!" Luffy touched Karou's neck, and the latter tilted his head back comfortably and cooperated with Luffy's movements.

Then he looked at Luffy.

As a fast running duck, it has never been surpassed by humans in speed.

Since Luffy wants to lose, it will join him.

"Then let's have a competition!"

Seeing that Karui agreed, Luffy happily rode on its neck.

"How about we run up from the bottom of the cliffs in Arubana?"

Luffy smiled smugly and patted Kalu's neck.

Racing with a running duck in a straight line in the sand is too boring. It is better to run upward at 90 degrees.

"Gah?"

Karu felt like he was being tricked by Luffy.

That's a cliff with a right angle of 90 degrees.

Chapter 291: Heroes can also be insecure

291.

2023-11-25

Arubana is a huge raised disc-shaped island surrounded by cliffs, with only four gates that have stairs with a certain inclination.

In the purely ancient world, such terrain would be a natural barrier that is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is also difficult for humans to reach.

But in this world... whether it is easy to defend and difficult to attack depends on the level of your military strength.

"Competing with Runaway Duck?" Weiwei was a little confused when she heard the news.

"Or run from the cliff?" Nami was even more confused.

"Can this be done?" asked Uta.

"It should be possible, right? As long as you run fast enough, running vertically is no problem?" Luffy thought while stroking his chin.

"Then let's give it a try!" Uta smiled, "Then, let's see who will win! I choose Luffy!"

"Me too..." Nami and Nojiko placed their bets.

"Wait a minute, why did you all choose Luffy? Karu is so pitiful!"

Weiwei was so angry that Kalu angrily used his mouth to pull the hem of Wuta's skirt. Wuta covered her skirt with her hands and screamed, "Let go, my new skirt is going to be damaged!"

"I'll choose both sides." Weiwei chose to bet on both sides.

Kalu finally made some bets, and the battle was no longer one-sided.

"Robin, do you want to come and play?" Uta asked excitedly to Robin who was lazily reading a book.

"Then I will choose Mr. Luffy." Robin said.

"For those who know all six styles, it's easy to win this kind of competition."

Robin also has great trust in Luffy, and this trust comes from understanding Luffy's abilities.

After all, he is a master of CP9's level.

"Gah!"

Seeing that everyone lacked confidence in him, Kalu's eyes suddenly lit up with anger. Even a running duck has dignity!

Kalu gathered a group of running ducks to carry them to the foot of the city gate. He himself also rode on the back of a running duck that was holding a cigar, which made Uta laugh.

"You are also a running duck, how can you ride on another duck?"

“Ga ga, ga ga ga!”

Kalu yelled at Uta with confidence, gesturing with his wings from time to time.

"It wants to maintain its strength." Luffy translated the meaning.

After reaching the bottom of the cliff, there was a two-hundred-meter distance for the run-up. The yellow duck, Kalu, stretched its wings and stretched its paws, doing warm-up exercises seriously.

Luffy simply moves his body. Because he will return life, he does not need to warm up to get his body into an efficient working state.

He is still thinking about the battle with Crocodile. In this strange yet familiar world, Crocodile's record is too brilliant. He has only been defeated by those legendary figures.

As expected of a movie, Luffy looked at the girls sitting aside, drinking coconut water.

The girl with red and white hair was smiling sweetly, probably because the coconut water made by Nochigo was very sweet.

Luffy put his hands on his hips.

Weiwei raised her hand high. In her hand was a very short pistol, which was an early warning gun. It was not aggressive and would only make a loud noise.

"Ready~Karu, keep going, I still believe in you!"

Weiwei made a trumpet shape with one hand and shouted to Kalu.

"Hey! Weiwei, what about me? I'm your brother, I have to work hard too!"

Luffy raised his fist in a mock angry manner.

Weiwei made a face and pulled the trigger.

Snapped!

The crisp sound of gunfire rang out.

Kalu took the lead and rushed to the bottom of the cliff. He raised his duck paw with a serious look and stepped on the cliff. Then, with his explosive speed, he clamped his feet at a 90-degree angle to the ground as if he was walking on flat ground. With his duck paw slightly bent, he ran towards the sky relying on this little suction force.

"So fast~" Luffy laughed and opened his legs.

Running is a very relaxing exercise if you can adapt to it.

Don't think about anything, just run straight forward.

The wind blew past Luffy's ears, but Luffy couldn't help but think about things.

Why are you not confident?

Luffy thought as he put his feet forward and ran on the cliff like Kalu.

The perspective changed in vain, and now there was a clear blue sky with only a few wisps of pale clouds as decoration.

To solve a problem, you must first think about why.

Knowing too much -

Luffy thought, in this real world, those big guys all had amazing records. Crocodile, just the conversation gave him a great sense of oppression. The more he knew, the more pressure he felt. In this real world, he wanted to defeat Crocodile with just a bottle of water...

That is impossible.

After meeting Crocodile, Luffy became certain of this.

Besides, there is the devil fruit... Luffy thought about the purple devil fruit that he hid in the windmill village.

If we use a fantasy perspective, that would be considered abandoning one's destiny, right?

But, but...

Is that devil fruit really strong enough?

Luffy thought about what he was thinking the moment he put the Nika Fruit into the treasure chest...

You'll have to spend your life to develop it casually. How come there are no other devil fruits like this? You're really special.

Later on, a legend of Nika was added, and it was upgraded to the special animal type Nika fruit. It also possessed the legend of the Sun God. Looking at the battle record, it seems even worse.

Moreover, Luffy felt that he couldn't be "funny" and was not suitable for the devil fruit.

It is said that the Animal Type has its own will. I don’t know what weird secrets the Animal Type is hiding in the finale, and what secrets the Devil Fruit is hiding.

The world is big and it’s all ocean. What if you fall into the ocean?

I am afraid of pain, death, and I hate working hard...

I am such a person.

Young Luffy placed the Nika-fruit in a treasure chest, underneath the music score of the Demon King of Music, Totemjika.

He closed the treasure chest calmly.

[This is my story, not Luffy's. I tried to save the world and failed. Isn't it destined to be Nika-chan? ]

Such dark and rotten thoughts flashed through my mind.

“Ga ga…ga ga ga!”

The calling of ducks rang in his ears. Seeing Luffy catching up with him little by little, Karu ran forward desperately, but the impact brought by the running start had disappeared. He flapped his wings and then stopped in the air, very panicked.

Runner ducks can't fly, they are ducks that run super fast on land.

Luffy took a step forward with a grin, passed Karui and ran to the cliff.

When Kalu saw that Luffy won, he forgot to flap his wings and fell straight down.

Then someone grabbed its wings very tightly, and its huge body swayed on the cliff.
