Pirate: I am King Luffy

The citizens took out their wallets in anger.

"What's going on on this island? Is there a tax on opening windows?" Nami was shocked.

"Is this common?" Luffy said.

From ancient Greece to the day the sun never sets, window taxes have been levied. In addition, Luffy also knows that there is a leftover girl tax, where you will get gold coins if you are over 15 years old if you don’t get married, and the obesity tax...

There are so many types of taxes that I have heard of.

Another man wearing a giant exoskeleton grabbed a man with a robotic arm and held it above his head.

"You do not pay taxes! Your end is jail!"

"What is this thing on your back for?" Luffy asked curiously, pointing at the radar behind the old man.

"This is a device used to lock the Rainbow Fog. Unfortunately, after so many years, I still haven't found out the pattern of the Rainbow Fog..." the old man responded while reading Robin's book.

Luffy also read the book called Rainbow Mist out of boredom when he was sailing. This is probably a real legend. It would be good to know it earlier. I didn't expect to encounter information related to the legend now. .

"After crossing the rainbow mist, you will reach the eternal kingdom, where people will never grow old or die, will not starve, and can gain eternal life..."

Luffy said the description of that country in the book.

"As I said, that one is spreading rumors..." the old man said, closing the book.

"Do you think you know something about the Rainbow Mist?" Uta asked.

"I once saw the Rainbow Fog fifty years ago, and in order to save my friends who fell into the fog, I have been working hard on this topic for fifty years. The Rainbow Tower over there is My mayor built it for me.”

The old man pointed to a tall tower on the edge of the island and said.

After the tax collection team finished collecting taxes, the taxed residents noticed the elderly people beside Luffy, and rolled up their sleeves angrily and rushed over, "Han Suo, you, the mayor's dog, how dare you show up here?" here!"

They landed a punch on the old man's face, knocking him down.

Han Suo did not resist, but was knocked to the ground, looking at the sky calmly.

"Wait, what are you doing? He is an old man." Uta dissuaded.

"You are outsiders. I advise you not to get too close to this guy. There are so many weird taxes on our island because the mayor wants to collect money from Han Suo for scientific research. This damn civilian science !”

The citizen looked at Han Suo angrily, "After so many years, he has not researched anything, and our taxes are still increasing every year!"

"Then you go find the mayor!" Dasqi asked.

"It would be great if it would be useful to find the mayor. He was once a pirate!" the citizens said dissatisfiedly.

"Wait, you mean... a pirate became the mayor?" Dusky, Nami, and Weiwei were all shocked.

"Hmph, in short, if you don't want to be ostracized by us, stay with that guy less!"

The citizens looked at Han Suo with disgust, sighed and turned away.

"What on earth is going on?" Dasqi turned to look at Han Suo.

"Why would a pirate become a mayor?"

"This has nothing to do with you outsiders. Just leave as soon as you have purchased enough supplies."

Han Suo got up from the ground, patted his white coat, and said in a nonchalant tone.

"That's not okay! It's a pirate thing, and it's related to the navy. You have to tell us everything!" Dasqi adjusted his glasses and said seriously.

"Are you in the navy?"

Han Suo became confused.

"Although I really want you to arrest the mayor, I still rely on the funds he provided for my living and scientific research, so I absolutely cannot let you arrest him." Han Suo said.

"I'm sorry, I won't provide you with evidence."

"By doing this, you are suspected of harboring pirates!" Dasqi said seriously.

"Without evidence, even the navy can't arrest people. It's up to you to say whatever you want."

Han Suo controlled the mechanical device in his hand and turned towards the edge of the harbor.

"Major, what should we do now?" Dusky had no choice but to ask Luffy.

"Anyway, let's purchase supplies first and then ask the mayor." Luffy decided happily.

"That's right. No one is cooperating with us now. Even the navy has no good way to arrest people." Nami nodded.

So everyone split up, and Luffy went to the restaurant to eat, choosing a pasta-like pasta and eating it.

But not long after, a soldier appeared next to him and said, "You are a big plate of macaroni, and you have to pay a big plate tax."

"Do I have to pay for this?" Luffy touched his pocket speechlessly and found that there was no money.

"Just keep it in the navy's account." He said politely.

"Are you trying not to pay taxes?" The soldier fiercely pressed his musket against Luffy's waist.

"..."

Luffy looked at the musket on his waist speechlessly, and grabbed the soldier's collar.

"asshole!"

"I'm a major in the navy. Call your mayor here. I suspect he is secretly making a deal with the pirates!"

Luffy slapped the soldier on the chest and pushed him to the ground.

Are the soldiers on this island too brave to dare to talk to the military master like this? !

(End of this chapter)

Chapter 382 Attacking the Navy

382.

The soldier was slapped down by Luffy. Seeing this, the other soldiers pointed their guns at Luffy, but they didn't dare to act rashly.

After all, Luffy burst out with the navy's flag and the rank of major.

The naval soldiers in the Grand Waterway are all members of the headquarters and are powerful.

They also had some scruples.

"What? What what what what!"

The giant robots wearing exoskeletons that Luffy had seen before lined up the soldiers and walked towards them with heavy mechanical steps.

Exoskeleton mecha!

Luffy's eyes were twinkling with stars. This was a mecha, the real deal!

This mecha should be powered by electricity. Luffy saw that the mecha had a tail that acted as a pipe, connecting to a bicycle not far away.

There are soldiers pedaling hard on their bicycles to generate electricity to provide kinetic energy for the mecha.

Overall it looks a bit boring, but this is a mecha!

The complete mecha should be the General Franky developed by Franky in the future with the help of Vegapunk technology.

"Can Lord Marines evade taxes?" the mecha man asked in an unusually arrogant tone.

"I am the grandson of Mayor Witton. We are collecting taxes legally. Why don't you pay taxes to us?"

"Citizens all around pay taxes, but if you don't pay, can the navy do whatever they want?!"

The mayor's grandson didn't have the slightest fear of his identity as a Marine Lieutenant Commander. He walked up to Luffy with a swagger and said, "Hand over the money!"

"Yeah, yeah, yeah..." Luffy lay back on the chair and looked at the giant robot in front of him.

"Then let me tell you now, the navy can really do whatever it wants!"

Luffy mustered up the strength of his fist, and punched with a jet-black punch, which was not fancy, hitting the huge mecha's belly with cracks, and the mecha was blown away as if it was hit by a big truck head-on.

"impossible!"

The front of the mecha had been beaten into alloy pieces by Luffy. The mayor's grandson pulled the scrap metal in disbelief and came out of the driver's seat. He was horrified to see Luffy approaching step by step.

"Low-level electricity poses no threat to me!"

Luffy looked at the white electricity wrapped around his fist and let the electricity dissipate with a cold wave.

He had already seen the human-powered generator behind him, so he was naturally wary of the electric current.

In front of him at this level, he can be immune to white thunder-level electric shocks just by using weapons.

It doesn't matter if you're not used to being armed, or you can just use physical strength to resist.

This mecha does have some tricks up its sleeve. There is a layer of electric protection device on its surface. If an ordinary person hits it with his body, he will only be injured by the electric current.

"Attack the Marine Major, where is our mayor?" Luffy asked.

The citizens around saw Luffy knocking the mecha away with one punch, and they clapped their hands in excitement for a while.

This guy has been driving that mecha to forcefully collect taxes from them, which has long caused public resentment. Now seeing this guy being knocked down with a punch, he was naturally very excited.

"How dare you attack the mayor's grandson!"

"You wait for me!"

The surrounding soldiers were so frightened and angry that they surrounded Luffy with their weapons, as if they were going to shoot him on the spot if something went wrong.

Things got bigger and bigger, and soon someone went to ask the mayor.

Luffy grabbed the mayor's grandson by the neck, threw him to the ground, stomped on his face, and continued eating macaroni.

"I received a report earlier that your mayor is a pirate. What's going on?" Luffy asked curiously.

"That guy is not the mayor at all. More than fifty years ago, he came with a pirate ship and robbed our city. He burned most of the city to ashes with a fire. Later, I don't know how his ship was recovered. If there is no more, we will stay here with the remaining soldiers and become the mayor, and we will live under his rule..."

Soon, several people talked about what happened back then with unforgettable hatred.

"With the development of the city, only a few people know the whole story. Those new settlers have no idea that he was once a pirate. I still remember the pirate flag. They are members of the Witton Pirates. people!"

Luffy nodded, more than fifty years were enough for a pirate to cleanse himself and complete his de-pirate transformation.

But it doesn't matter to Luffy.

These guys attack the navy, and Luffy can use this to turn them into pirates.

Not long after, Mayor Witton was carried in a sedan by his subordinates. He had become a little fat and old. Several subordinates made a sedan and carried him over.

Luffy had never made a sedan before, so he felt that this thing should not be very comfortable to sit on, and it looked bumpy from the outside.

"Hey, are you the one who claims to be a marine?" Weedon yelled at Luffy unceremoniously.

"You marines have to pay me taxes even if you enter my city. Don't forget, you are here to protect our army!"

Weedon yelled at Luffy unceremoniously.

"What are you barking at?" Luffy clenched his fists, "Weedon, I just received a report that you were once a pirate. You'd better stay in jail for now!"

"Hahahaha, pirate? What are you talking about? I am the mayor. Does it mean that if someone says that I am a pirate, then I am really a pirate? You have to provide evidence to arrest someone!" Witton smiled arrogantly. .

"I also suspected that you were a pirate. Why are you pretending to be a navy? Do you have any evidence?!"

"Get this pirate pretending to be a navy man for me!"

After receiving the order, the musketeers who had pointed at Luffy immediately opened fire, and the sound of gunfire was like thunder on the ground, exploding instantly.

The citizens in the hotel also lay on the ground with their heads in their hands, not daring to touch his edge.

Luffy did not dodge and let the bullets hit his body, leaving only traces of white marks.

"Now you are really attacking the navy."

Luffy looked at the tattered red mantle on his body, and when he looked up again, his scarlet eyes were bright, and a wave of domineering aura swept across all directions.

Immediately, thousands of people were stunned by Luffy's domineering force and all rushed to the ground.

After Luffy finished the gang, Dusky hurried over with a knife, "Major, what happened here?"

"These guys attacked me and they were knocked unconscious by me." Luffy said with relief after finishing shooting the Haki.

"They charged me a large tax, and I paid the tax if I wanted to, but I didn't bring any money, and they didn't keep it in my account with the Navy..."

"Tie them up and check the mayor's house to see if there are any pirate items."

"There's just a reason to investigate their home."

Dasqi's eyes lit up, she really didn't expect this group of people to dare to attack the navy with the rank of major.
