Chapter 14 The Straw Hat Pirates Are Officially Established! (Please Read On!)
Chapter 14 The Straw Hat Pirates are officially established! (Please read!)
It was noon.
The breeze was not dry and the sun was shining.
On the playground of the 153rd Marine Branch Base.
After looting Monka's savings and treasures, Red brought Luffy and the other two to the open space here again.
The cross that bound Zoro had been quietly dismantled by the sensible marines, and even the hole was filled up.
Seeing this scene, both Zoro and Red smiled with satisfaction.
Only Nami, who was forcibly pulled over, looked indignant at this time.
"Really, why do you have to give so much money to the navy?!"
"Don't they have subsidies from the World Government!?"
"That's a full 500W Baileys!!!"
"If you don't want it, you can give it to me!!!"
Nami muttered softly, but in fact she was puzzled by Red who did all this.
Chihong, who heard the meaning of her words, turned around and smiled slightly:
"It's just 5 million Baileys. Don't mind that little money, little Nami."
"Look at our team. No matter where we put it, it's easy to make a few hundred million!"
"That lieutenant colonel is a local of Shields Town. I believe he will make good use of the money."
"Using 5 million Baileys, the residents of Shields Town can get some comfort in advance. Don't you think it's worth it?"
"I don't think so!" Nami pouted and answered without hesitation, fully demonstrating her money-grubbing characteristics.
But no one knows what she really thinks in her heart.
But when she looked at Chihong's back, there was obviously some surprise in her eyes.
There are actually pirates who give up money. They are really strange guys...
...
...
"Okay, since our team has taken shape, it's time for a formal self-introduction."
When they arrived at the open space, Chihong did not immediately let Luffy and Zoro start sparring.
Instead, he guided several people to get to know each other.
He and Luffy are easy to talk to, one has a God's perspective, and the other is carefree and doesn't care.
But Zoro and Nami have just joined them after all.
Nami is even more scheming, ready to run away with the money at any time.
In order for this team to run as quickly as possible, the vice-captain Red still needs to take some actions.
When Luffy heard Red's proposal, he immediately raised his hands in approval: "Introduce yourself!? Good! Good!"
Because he got two new partners at once, Luffy was as excited as he could be at this moment.
Red smiled slightly, and this was the effect he wanted.
"Then, as the boss of our team, Luffy will start first!"
"Hehe! No problem!" Luffy grinned and laughed.
Immediately, he put the straw hat on his head with one hand, and a standard confident smile appeared on his face:
"My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and my dream is to become the freest Pirate King in this sea!!!"
"And I am a rubber man who ate the rubber fruit, and my body can stretch and lengthen freely like rubber."
"Like this..."
In order to verify his statement, he performed his best tricks in front of Nami and Zoro, pulling his mouth and stretching it to the same length as his arm.
Looking at this outrageous scene in front of them, Zoro and Nami were stunned for a moment.
But Zoro soon reacted and interrupted:
"Wait! You said your ability is just to turn your body into rubber, then what about your previous speed!? It's like teleporting!"
Zoro, who has not yet walked out of the weakest sea of the East China Sea and seen the real strong, is still unable to accept things beyond his cognition.
Luffy, on the other hand, snapped his mouth back and said indifferently:
"Ah, you mean that? That is a special fighting technique, one of the six styles invented by Red - Shaving!"
"It can burst out amazing power in an instant."
"Correction!" Red immediately interrupted with a smile: "That was not invented by me, but a regular fighting technique in the navy..."
"Its official name is the Six Styles of the Navy, I just happen to know a little bit."
"After all, I am a trainer after all!"
"Trainer!?"
Hearing this word again, Zoro finally seized the opportunity and immediately Asked:
"So... what exactly is a trainer?"
"That's a long story." Red continued to smile: "Then it's my turn next."
"As you know, I'm the vice-captain of this pirate group. I don't have any dreams. I just go with the flow and go wherever I go."
"At the same time, I'm also a trainer."
"As for the role of a trainer, it's just as the literal meaning, that is, to train others, help others become stronger quickly, and even gain magical powers!"
"For example, this..."
While speaking, Red suddenly raised one hand.
The original power in his body surged again, turning into rocks that appeared behind him.
Because it was just a demonstration, Red quickly removed the energy supply, letting the rocks fall to the ground and quickly disappear.
"As you can see, trainers can give you all kinds of magical abilities."
"Of course, this also requires a little time and your own efforts."
"How... How is this possible? Is this also the ability of the devil fruit?"
Nami's eyes flashed with surprise, and she couldn't help but interrupt Red.
"Not really..."
"But you can understand it this way for the time being."
Red shook her head, but an inexplicable smile appeared on the corner of her mouth and looked at Nami:
"Under my power, even if you are not good at fighting, Nami, I am sure I can train you to be a top-level strongman who can fight any strong enemy!"
"Are you saying that I can also get the same ability as you?" Nami was surprised and pointed at herself.
"Of course!" Red answered without hesitation:
"After all, I am a trainer!!!"
He emphasized his identity again, as if brainwashing, and put the label of trainer on himself.
Although it is not certain, but in a mysterious way, Red feels that this is the right way to let others become Pokémon and enter the game world!
After saying this, Akane clapped her hands without giving Nami a chance to ask for details:
"Okay!"
"The specific situation is a bit complicated, and it's not so easy for you to understand."
"Instead of wasting time here, it's better to leave all the questions to time to answer."
"Then it's your turn, Zoro."
"Ah?" Zoro, who was still shocked by Luffy and Akane's abilities, was slightly stunned, but he quickly adjusted his mentality and began his self-introduction.
Compared to Luffy and Akane who modestly left blanks, Zoro's introduction was as normal as always.
It was still his old saying, but it was also his most truthful saying.
After Zoro finished, it was naturally Nami's turn.
Seeing the eyes of the three people looking over, Nami's little heart couldn't help but thump, and she was inexplicably nervous.
But perhaps she was moved by Red's previous act of leaving money for the residents of Shields Town. She took a deep breath and introduced herself seriously:
"My name is Nami, and I am a thief who specializes in stealing pirate treasures."
"Let me make it clear in advance that I don't have the superb sailing skills you say, although I do know a little bit of sailing."
Like Red and Luffy, Nami was also reserved and modest.
The main reason is that she is still confused and can't figure out the current situation.
If Red and Luffy hadn't forced her to invite her, and the cash and luxury goods they had just looted were still on Red, attracting her...
She might have been thinking of a way to get out.
However, in this comparison, Zoro, who has nothing to hide, seems a little too unsophisticated.
What's going on, Zoro?
You have to stand up!
Zoro: ? ? ?
Isn't it time for Nami to introduce herself?
Why is the deputy captain staring at me?
"…………"
Looking at the strange atmosphere in the air, Nami confirmed her thoughts again:
"These guys! There is no normal person!!!"
After a brief introduction, Nami did not explain her situation in depth.
Seeing this, Akari naturally did not ask more questions.
He just smiled and gathered the eyes of several people again, and then said to Luffy:
"What do you think, Luffy? I said that Shields Town will definitely satisfy us, right?"
"You have gained two excellent crew members at once, and you are now one step closer to the position of Pirate King!"
"Hahaha~ All this is all thanks to you, Akari!!!"
Luffy laughed happily.
Even without Akari saying anything, he had already started to CPU himself:
"I know that listening to you will never go wrong!"
"Of course!" Akari also laughed, but turned around and called a busy navy soldier behind him.
"Hey! That guy!"
"...Ah?!"
The navy soldier who was inexplicably called trembled all over.
He has not forgotten that Akari killed Colonel Monka in seconds not long ago.
"What...what happened!?"
"Relax, don't be so nervous." Akahiro raised the corner of his mouth and smiled gently: "You should have a camera here, right?!"
"Go prepare it and take a picture for us!"
"Ah!?" The navy soldier opened his mouth, "Take a picture? Here!?"
"Of course!"
Akaashi patted Luffy's shoulder: "Today is the day when our Straw Hat Pirates are officially established!"
"Such a great moment, of course it must be recorded well."
"Are you right, Luffy!?"
"That's right!" Luffy nodded repeatedly and clapped his hands happily: "Akaashi is really thoughtful."
"Wait...wait a minute!"
Nami suddenly interrupted: "You want us to take a picture here!? In the naval base!?"
"Any problem?" Akahiro asked calmly.
Nami instantly grabbed her hair with both hands, her spirit exploded.
"This is a huge problem!"
"You are pirates! How can pirates take a group photo in front of a naval base!?"
"Isn't there one today?!" Akame still smiled calmly.
Seeing that the navy soldier had already run to get the camera, he also patted Nami's shoulders to comfort her, and then was pulled over by Luffy to start looking for a suitable position and angle for taking photos.
Looking at the two people who were already enjoying themselves, Nami's eyes became more and more dim.
Pirates took a group photo at the naval base?
If this spread out, what an insult to the navy! ?
At that time, every one of the guys in the photo will be hunted down by the navy!
She seemed to have seen her miserable second half of life. To sum it up...
Nami was on the run!
At this moment, she finally understood why Red called them a pirate ship!
In the end, Nami could only look at Zoro for help.
I hope this guy who just joined like him can play a role.
Unexpectedly, Zoro actually felt the meaning in her eyes and nodded to Nami.
"Don't worry, I know your concerns!" Zoro said to her very reliably.
Then, under Nami's expectant eyes, he waved and shouted to Luffy and Red:
"Hey! Don't just care about your own happiness! Take care of Nami too!"
Nami: That's right! That's right!
Sure enough, there are still normal people in this world!
Zoro: "Nami is a girl after all, how can she only choose warships and cannons as the background!?"
"I think the flower bed over there is very good! And the navy's logo is perfect!"
Nami: "…………"
Forget it.
I'm tired.
Destroy it!!!
