Chapter 406: Early Encounter, Blackbeard |
Time flies, time flies.
In a blink of an eye, a long time has passed since Luffy and his party left the Alabasta Kingdom.
Halfway through their voyage, they first encountered the 'rain of warship wreckages' falling from the sky, and the Log Pose pointing up, to the Sky Island.
However, when they dived into the water wearing wine barrels, they met Saruyama Alliance just at that time.
After that, they came to Mock Town on the west coast of Jaya Island.
Luffy and his team quickly learned that Mock Town is an illegal area where people who are insulated from their dreams gather.
Just arrived here, Luffy and his party, who planned to wander around, soon ran into their first trouble.
That is the deputy captain of the Bellamy Pirates, Sarquiss.
Sarquiss just came back from outside with a beautiful girl in his arms, when he found that Luffy and his party appeared within the range of the hotel booked by their pirate group.
The hotel owner was shocked on the spot: "Master Sarquiss, you are back! They...they...they...they are..."
The chick next to him: "Stop talking nonsense! Throw them out! How much do you think we paid for this place? Huh?"
Sarquiss: "That's right! What are you looking at?! Brat!"
Luffy looked at Sarquiss for a while, then turned to look at Nami and said, "He must be a bad guy, right?"
Before Nami could answer, Zoro, who was looking at the wanted notice, had already said first: "It should be right. You can see that he looks exactly like the guy on this wanted notice, so must be. And This Mock Town is said to be an illegal area, usually a place where bad guys gather."
The chick next to him: "How is it? Are you scared? You read that right. Standing in front of you is Mr. Sarquiss, 38 million Berry on his head."
Sarquiss: "Hey, did you hear what I asked you?"
Sarquiss and his chick were arguing non-stop, but Luffy still didn't take them seriously, and continued to say to Zoro, "Then, killing all the people here should not be wrong?"
Zoro nodded: "Well, there is a high probability that the killing will not be wrong."
Sarquiss's expression became playful: "Yo? I didn't hear it wrong, did I? What did you say? You mean you want to kill us all? Country bumpkins, do you really think the Grand Line is still your country?"
Luffy still didn't pay attention to this guy, but instead looked at Chopper who looked complicated and bowed his head silently: "Chopper, if you don't have the heart to do it, then go back to the boat first. Just leave it to us here."
Chopper said complicatedly: "Really... really want to kill them all?"
Luffy nodded: "Well, it was because of these people that those things happened to your grandfather. If we meet them now and don't solve them, then they will only cause more tragedies."
Chopper gritted his teeth and hardened his heart: "No, I want to stay here! If any good people are accidentally injured, then I will treat them in time!"
Again and again, being ignored by the hillbillies in front of him finally annoyed Sarquiss. However, just when he was about to explode, the other members of Bellamy pirates came to him tremblingly and tugged at his sleeves.
He turned his head and said impatiently: "What are you doing?!"
One of the pirates handed him a wanted warrant, and whispered in his ear: "Sarquiss, this group of people doesn't seem to be easy to mess with, you can see for yourself."
The profile picture on the wanted notice is exactly what Luffy looks like.
In the original book, when Luffy arrived here, the actual reward was 100 million Berry. However, the arrest warrant in Mock Town hadn't been updated at that time, so the Bellamy Pirates and their party saw that Luffy's reward at that time was still 30 million Berry. Because of this, he looked down on Luffy and his party very much.
But now it is different.
Luffy's actual reward is of course higher than the 100 million Berry in the original book.
Even if the reward has not been updated, it is as high as 80 million Berry! The bounty was more than 20 million higher than Bellamy, the captain of their Bellamy Pirates.
This made all the pirates in the Bellamy Pirates lose the disdainful attitude in the original book on the spot.
Sarquiss, who received the arrest warrant, was also surprised, looked up and down Luffy for a while, coupled with the attitude of his partners wanting to calm down, he then let go and said: "Forget it. This restaurant has been booked by us. You should leave here as soon as possible!"
Luffy and the others remained motionless.
Now Sarquiss was really annoyed: "Hey! Do you want to toast and not eat fine wine?! Really think that if the reward is so high, you can be defiant?!! Country bumpkin, this is Mock Town! Sometimes, a high reward does not mean everything! Your high reward does not mean that your strength must be strong!"
Luffy: "Finished?"
Sarquiss: "???"
Luffy: "Finished, then go to hell."
"what--!"
After a while.
In a tavern in Mock Town.
"It's not good! It's not good! Lord Bellamy! Lord Bellamy! Lord Sarquiss and the others..." After hearing the news, Bellamy, who was still betting against others, rushed away without saying a word. Go back to the hotel.
Seeing a messy scene and the corpses of his subordinates one after another.
Bellamy was so angry that he couldn't even speak.
He picked up the restaurant owner: "Speak! Who did it?!"
The hotel owner trembled all over, and handed over Luffy's arrest warrant to Bellamy with trepidation. This is what Luffy and others told him before they left. If anything, just tell them where they are.
As predicted.
When Bellamy knew that the murderer was Luffy, he left the hotel owner aside, ignored him, stared at the arrest warrant, and finally crumpled into a ball, gritted his teeth and said, "Oh, straw hat Luffy, is it 80 million Berry? You better not let me find you, otherwise... I will definitely tear you to pieces!!!"
...
At the same time.
It is also a tavern in Mock Town.
After dealing with Sarquiss and his group, Luffy and others came to this tavern for dinner.
Sitting on Luffy's left are Zoro and Nami.
On the right is a fat uncle with a beard.
At this time, the owner of the bar is introducing the situation of the Mock Town to Luffy and others, and telling them that as long as they stay in this town for four days, they can store the pointer records.
At this time, Luffy and the fat uncle suddenly shouted at the same time.
"Hey! Uncle!"
"Hey! Boss!"
Tavern owner: "Huh? What's wrong?"
Luffy: "This cherry pie is terrible——!"
Fat Uncle: "This cherry pie is delicious——!"
The two glared at each other viciously, and immediately drained the glass of wine beside them in one gulp.
Luffy was pleasantly surprised: "Why is this glass of wine so delicious——!"
The fat uncle's face twisted: "Why is this glass of wine so bad——!"
Looking at each other again, this time it even has the effect of lightning colliding together. Immediately afterwards, the two said at the same time that they would buy 50 pieces of meat/50 cherries to send back as gifts.
The result is tit for tat again.
51, 52, 52...
Shouting non-stop.
Like children bickering.
And just when the two were fighting vigorously, there was a loud bang at the door of the tavern, and they were kicked away forcefully. Immediately afterwards, Bellamy's figure in a jacket appeared in everyone's eyes.
As soon as he appeared, the customers were shocked.
"It's Bellamy!"
"Shh! Don't look!"
Bellamy was concerned about other things, so he stared straight at the guy in the straw hat not far away.
"Straw Hat Luffy, it's you, right?"
Luffy turned around: "Is there something wrong?"
Immediately, without further ado, Bellamy kicked Luffy with a spring leg!
Luffy caught the blow firmly.
Bellamy retracted this leg.
While the two were confronting each other, the arrest warrant rolled up by Bellamy also fell from Bellamy's arms and rolled to the fat uncle's feet.
The fat uncle picked up the wanted warrant, opened it, and said nothing.
On the other side, neither Bellamy, nor Luffy, Zoro and others noticed the movement of the fat uncle.
Bellamy said ferociously: "Sure enough... No wonder you were able to kill Sarquiss and the others..."
As soon as the words came out, there were exclamations of people around.
Even the fat uncle was a little surprised.
But Luffy ignored them.
Instead, he clapped his hands foolishly: "So you're their captain? Great! We were worried about how to find you before, but now you came here by yourself!"
Bellamy: "..."
Luffy's appearance made Bellamy even more annoyed!
The war is about to break out.
Bellamy was also bouncing back and forth in the entire Mock Town, the speed was so fast that the people who were eating melons were shocked. However, Luffy in the original book interrupted Bellamy's pretense with one punch.
Today is not an exception.
And the strength of the punch is much stronger than in the original book, Luffy has no intention of holding back at all.
Bellamy's head was tilted when he was smashed into the ground.
While everyone's eyes were staring out, Luffy said indifferently: "It's finally resolved, because you almost affected my appetite, and I was worried that you would run away."
After finishing speaking, Luffy turned his head nonchalantly, looked at the fat uncle again and said, "Hey, uncle, let's continue! You were sincerely against me just now, weren't you!"
I just finished speaking.
The obese uncle suddenly changed his entire aura.
"Papapapapapa!" He first puffed up his palms, and then gradually more figures appeared around him, "Very good! So you are Monkey D Luffy! Do you know that the World Government gave all orders to capture you alive? The rewards make me very greedy~~ They promised me better treatment than capturing Ace alive!"
Luffy glanced at the few people who suddenly appeared around him.
His attitude was no longer as stupid as before, but he looked at the fat man in front of him very sharply: "What does this mean?"
"What do you mean? Zehahaha! It's understandable that you don't know me! After all, my name has only just started! Just wait! Before long, our Blackbeard Pirates will be famous all over the world! What you are familiar with The Fire Fist Ace, I handed him to the Marine! Zehahaha! I was worrying about how to get into everyone's field of vision, but I didn't expect that even you Monkey D Luffy would come to your door by yourself! God really is looking after our Blackbeard Pirates~ Lafitte, and others?"
The voice just fell.
The members of Blackbeard stood out from the crowd one by one.
Fighting champion Jesus Burgess slapped his chest like a gorilla, stepped out of the crowd, and responded to their captain.
Sniper The Supersonic, Van Augur raised his gun, and with a loud bang, he shot down a bee that flew past Luffy and the others. They also responded to Blackbeard in this way.
The ship's doctor, Grim Reaper Q, also rode his white horse and came out of the crowd coughing, but wherever he passed, people fell to the ground and foamed at the mouth.
Finally, it was Lafitte who walked out of the crowd very gracefully. With a flash of sword light, those who blocked his path were all hacked to death in an instant, causing the surrounding crowd to retreat quickly in fright.
"That's right, Captain Blackbeard. That's why we're all joining you, isn't it?"
"Zehahaha!"
Luffy looked unhappy and said: "You mean... you caught Ace, right?"
While saying this, Zoro and the others also came to Luffy one by one, confronting the Blackbeard Pirates.
Blackbeard: "Ha! You also know Ace? Then we are really destined! Why don't you let us catch you without a fight? Then I won't kill you by mistake!"
Luffy's emotions have been suppressed to the extreme.
He didn't care about what Blackbeard was saying.
Luffy said coldly: "Chopper, can you do it? It seems that the opponent who can capture my brother Ace alive this time is not easy. If you don't want to do anything, go back to the boat and wait for us."
Chopper looked at Doc Q very angrily: "No! Leave this guy to me to deal with! I will never let him poison half an innocent person to death again!"
Zoro looked at Lafitte: "Leave this to me!"
Usopp looked at Van Augur standing on the roof: "He asked me to come, right!"
Sanji dropped the cigarette butt, squeezed the cigarette butt with his toes, looked at the fighting champion Jesus Burgess: "Then leave this orangutan to me."
Blackbeard said excitedly: "Hehehe, it seems that you are not going to give in~ Then do it!"
Immediately afterwards, the second battle in Mock Town started immediately.
Before those people who eat melons leave the battlefield, everyone has already fallen into the scope of the battle.
Usopp jumped onto the roof and shot at Van Augur.
Will Van Augur's attack affect the people of Mock Town?
Chopper rushed towards Doc Q, and Doc Q had already begun to use poison gas on a large scale, and some people who couldn't back down turned blue on the spot.
The movements of Zoro and Sanji were even more exaggerated. Their opponents had no intention of restraining at all, and they fought like hell.
As for Blackbeard, he also launched his ultimate move as soon as he came, and the black shadow began to spread from his feet, slowly extending to everyone's feet...
