Chapter 29: Confession Bureau (Please Read On)

Chapter 29 Confession Bureau (Please read~)

Night fell.

Guided by the pale yellow moonlight, Red and others drove the boat and slowly sailed away from the port of Orange Town.

Luffy, who had eaten and drunk enough, patted his round belly with a satisfied look on his face.

Although the chef of the Joker Pirates did not have any superb cooking skills, it was also at the level of an ordinary restaurant.

After experiencing Nami's devilish cooking skills, not to mention Luffy, even Red and Zoro's taste requirements also dropped sharply...

This meal was quite satisfactory to everyone.

It was late.

Luffy was a little tired from eating since the evening.

But just when he finished greeting and was about to go back to sleep, Red, who was the last to board the ship, suddenly said:

"Everyone, please wait a moment."

Zoro and Nami stopped in their tracks instantly, as if they had known that Red would call them.

Only Luffy, who had already walked to the cabin, turned his head in confusion:

"Huh? What's wrong, Red?"

"Didn't you say you would take me to the game world tonight? You can't go back on your word now!"

He thought Red wanted to change his mind, and immediately pouted and complained.

But Red smiled gently:

"Don't worry, since I promised to take you tonight, I won't break my promise."

"But..."

Red put away his smile and said apologetically:

"It's just that for what happened today, I think I need to apologize to you."

"Sorry, Luffy."

"Without the captain's permission, I privately made the Joker Pirates become our affiliated pirate group."

"Ah, you're talking about this!?"

Luffy scratched the back of his head indifferently, revealing a puzzled look.

"Although it seems troublesome, since it is a decision made by you, Akari, it must be correct."

"What is there to apologize for?!"

After two and a half years of getting along, Akari's position in Luffy's mind has long been comparable to that of Ace, Sabo and others.

What's more, Akari is now his vice-captain and trainer.

He trusts Akari absolutely.

However, although Luffy doesn't care about this matter, Akari still shook his head gently:

"This is different."

He raised his head and looked directly at Luffy:

"Although you don't have much brains and can't make any decent plans, you are the captain of this ship after all, and the boss of our team."

"This time, I rashly agreed to let others bear our name without your permission..."

"This matter is a bit too much."

"Ah..." Luffy groaned.

Seeing that Akari was so serious this time, he gradually put away his playful expression.

For a moment, the two looked at each other.

The cool sea breeze blew over the two people's bodies, making their clothes flutter in the wind.

The atmosphere became inexplicably solemn.

"I know."

Luffy lowered his voice and made a serious tone with emotion:

"It seems that you have made a serious mistake this time, Red."

"It is indeed a taboo among pirates to make decisions without the captain's consent."

"Luffy..." Nami took a half step forward and wanted to explain something.

But just as she was about to speak, she was stopped by Zoro.

Luffy put his straw hat on his head, showing an unprecedented heavy expression, and said:

"In this case..."

"Then punish you not to eat breakfast tomorrow!!!"

"…………"

"…………"

The cool sea breeze did not stop, and the clothes of the two did not fall.

However, the originally solemn scene suddenly became funny because of Luffy's words.

But Akane answered seriously:

"I know, Captain, I will complete the punishment."

The deck under the moonlight suddenly became quiet.

After a while, Luffy suddenly said to Akane sincerely:

"Thank you, Akane."

Akaane smiled calmly: "You're welcome~"

Nami, who originally thought that the two were going to have a conflict, was completely stunned after listening to this inexplicable conversation.

She turned around quickly and cast a questioning look at Zoro who seemed to know something.

Before Zoro did not have the attribute of a riddle man, after thinking for a few seconds, he whispered to Nami:

"I think... Akane should not have forgotten to inform Luffy, but deliberately did not inform him."

"For this apology just now."

"Ah? Why is that?" Nami widened her eyes, indicating that she could not understand the man's brain circuit.

Fortunately, Zoro saw it clearly and answered her:

"Maybe... Red wants Luffy to realize that he is the captain of this ship."

Nami still couldn't understand: "What's the matter with this... Isn't Luffy our captain?"

Zoro laughed, and then asked back:

"So Nami, have you ever really regarded Luffy as the captain who leads us forward!?"

"Do you think this ship is following Luffy's orders or Red's orders?"

"Ah?"

Nami was stunned for a moment, and Zoro's question flashed through her mind. For a moment, she didn't know how to answer.

If Zoro asked her if she regarded Luffy as a partner?

She would definitely answer without hesitation.

But...Captain...

On this ship, it seems that Red is the one who makes all the decisions, big or small.

Compared to the captain who leads everything, Luffy is more like an obedient thug.

In an instant, Nami seemed to suddenly understand the meaning of Red's doing all this.

"I see..." She whispered softly.

In fact, Zoro's speculation is completely correct.

But this is not surprising.

After all, Red's idea was inspired by him.

Just as Nami thought, Luffy, who had just set out to sea, was full of novelty about the outside world and full of tolerance for his partners...

Rather than saying that he is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, it is better to say that he just wants to take a group of like-minded partners to adventure around the world.

This approach will undoubtedly be very happy, but it is not in line with long-term plans.

In the original timeline, Usopp withdrew from the Straw Hat Pirates because of his own weakness and the incident with Merry.

After the Judicial Island incident, it was Zoro, the hidden vice-captain, who became strict and made Luffy completely understand what the captain's responsibility is.

Now that Red has become the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, the tragedies that happened in the original timeline will naturally not happen again.

So in order to make Luffy grow, he deliberately made such a drama.

Although the effect is far less intense than in the original timeline, it is good that it lasts for a long time.

Red believes that under his subtle influence, Luffy will definitely adapt to his identity as a captain more quickly and understand the heavy responsibility he bears.

After solving Luffy's problem, Red also shifted his gaze and looked at Zoro and Nami.

"So, Zoro, Nami, I think you two should have a lot of questions to ask me, right?"

"This..."

Nami was still hesitating, but Zoro had already stepped forward and asked:

"There are indeed some questions."

"Red, are those things you said to Buggy at night true?"

"You said... you can see the past and the future!?"
