Pirate: I'm King Luffy!

Chapter 708 Sanji's Marriage Incident
"Ms. Peacock!"

Seeing another important figure coming, Iska saluted hurriedly.

"Don't worry about me, I'm just here to get a free meal." Peacock said as he sat in his seat, staring at the food brought up by the little robots.

The people on the Merry were already starving, and they started eating without waiting for the robots to be put down. Ace, relying on his resistance to high temperatures, snatched the entire pot and poured it into his mouth.

"tasty!!!"

"It's so delicious, it's worthy of being the army's food!" Usopp praised highly while eating.

All the men devoured their food, leaving only Keya, the eldest daughter, to maintain her demeanor, chewing slowly while holding the bowl and chopsticks.

While eating and chatting, Luffy gradually understood the general situation.

Iska and Tashigi were officers who often met on the Grand Line and often exchanged ideas on swordsmanship, but they lost contact for a while after Smoker was demoted.

It was a complete coincidence that Ace met Zoro. After they formed a team, he accepted Kaya's bounty mission and went all the way to the Drum Kingdom. Relying on his flame thrusters, Ace didn't care about the positioning pointer at all...

"Are there really giants on the Ancient Island?" Peacock noticed Ace passing by while eating. Robin once talked about the giants on the Ancient Island, but she was still skeptical.

After all, two giants fighting each other for a hundred years always sounds silly.

But I didn't expect they were really two fools.

Even a giant vice admiral in the navy wouldn't be so stupid...

"Yeah, they are very strong." Ace nodded.

When Vivi heard that they had been to Alabasta, she asked them excitedly about their country and whether it had any troubles recently. When they arrived at Shampoo Land, everyone's mood took a sharp turn for the worse and they started talking about Sanji.

"The commander of the Sabaody base... Vice Admiral Doro?" Luffy picked up a glass of alcoholic cola and felt that Vice Admiral Doro did not respect him very much.

"... Fortunately... Sanji-kun decided to follow the Vice Admiral back after thinking about it all night, but... we arrived at the North Sea, and were turned away by Sanji-kun, who was dressed as a prince, and told us that we didn't have to pay back the debts..."

The only people describing it were Iska, Usopp, and Kaya, while the rest of the group wolfed down their food in silence.

"Mr. Vice Admiral, he said that he was going to marry the daughter of the Four Emperors: BIG MOM... This kind of thing will result in being removed from the ranks of the allied nations..." Iska said to Luffy worriedly.

"I understand. Who else did you report this matter to?" Luffy asked Iska.

"No, because the signal here is not very good, there is no way to communicate long distance..." said Iska.

Moreover, as a second lieutenant, he had no choice but to talk to Lieutenant General Dolo.

"Forming an alliance with pirates is a serious crime, but the navy and the government don't have time to care about Germa's affairs. In the end, they may succeed..." Peacock put down his chopsticks and commented.

He was one of the Four Emperors after all.

It is still the second most powerful group among the Four Emperors.

"It won't be that easy..." Luffy briefly reviewed the plot of BIG MOM.

Originally, Big Mom wanted the power of the giants and wanted to marry Prince Loki, but her own daughter escaped the marriage and she captured another daughter to take her place. When she was discovered, she completely severed ties with the giants.

Later, she took a fancy to the power of Germa and used the clone army as a substitute. As for the other people in Germa, BIG MOM didn't want them at all.

Because Germa's condition for marriage is that Big Mom helps to conquer the North Sea and restore the family's former glory.

For the Yonko, it is a thankless enclave, which must be ruled across the Red Earth Continent and the Calm Belt, something that even the World Government cannot do.

The North Sea itself is also strong and can easily fall into the quagmire of war.

Get the cloning technology and kill the Germa family.

Another wave of development.

This is BIG MOM’s choice.

"BIG MOM is really busy marrying off her daughter every day, even though the Loki incident only ended about three years ago!" Peacock complained.

"The Loki incident?" Vivi looked at Peacock curiously.

"That's really explosive news. Our navy was nervous for a while, but it turned into a joke in the end. The prince of Elbaf, Loki, was dumped!"

Peacock told this interesting story with great interest.

This was not a secret in the eyes of all the major forces, but it was not reported in the news. The News King did not dare to offend the two giant organizations too much, so he did not write any reports.

"After that, that girl named Charlotte Lola mysteriously disappeared. It is said that someone saw her on Fishman Island. I think she crossed Fishman Island and came to Paradise to seek refuge..."

Peacock speculated.

It seems that this guy has been beaten by Moria.

Luffy pieced the timeline together a bit and came to a conclusion.

"Ace, what do you think?" Luffy looked at Ace while eating steak.

Noki came up with the last dish and sat next to Nami, "Long time no see~Ace."

Ace nodded and remained silent for a moment before expressing his thoughts:
"I will pay back all the debts. Miss Makino said that debts must be paid back."

Ace said.

"Hey, Ace, is this really okay? That's a huge sum of money. After all, he's a chef from a restaurant on the sea. It's okay not to pay him back, right? After all, he's the prince who rules a country~" Usopp sighed, then spoke indifferently.

"Let's not talk about the fact that you don't have that much money. Even if you do, do we have to chase them to Wan Guo? That's the territory of the Four Emperors, it's very scary!"

"You have to pay back the money you owe." Luffy nodded.

"We don't need to care about what the other person thinks. What matters is what we think. Do you need me to provide some material help?"

Luffy asked.

"No~"

Ace raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and he picked up a beef bone and started eating it with a crunching sound.

"I'm a bounty hunter. The bounty of the Yonko should be worth a lot of money, right?"

Ace said something that made Peacock choke.

"43 billion berries, Ace, don't let that get you down!"

Iska answered with the bounty offered by the Four Emperors.

"The Navy doesn't expect anyone to be able to take the heads of the Four Emperors. This level of bounty is just a means to divide the pirates..." Peacock said. For weak pirates, bounties are a death warrant. The Navy will drive them away like locusts, and bounty hunters will stare at their heads like hyenas all the time.

For the strong, the bounty has become a symbol of honor, and some even compete with each other in terms of the amount of the bounty.

It seems that the prestige of the Navy and the World Government is disregarded, but this will lead to another thing happening:
The strong among the pirates proudly show off the bounty amounts, and then compare with each other, unwilling to accept why the other party's bounty is higher than theirs, and then do things to increase the bounty, and even fight each other and cut off each other's heads.

This is a ranking that makes the strong feel proud.

It is a duel arena for them to fight each other.

So, it seems that adding more bounties is useless, but the World Government will still do it.

"Don't let your life die in vain." Peacock was not optimistic about Ace.

"We saw Big Mom in Dressrosa. She controlled fire and lightning to fight against Admiral Aokiji. The whole island was like an earthquake..."

Ace was unhappy to hear so many people against him, "Am I that weak?"

"Luffy fought against Big Mom and Kaido's subordinates in Dressrosa. They are indeed very strong..." Uta said to Ace while tapping his chopsticks.

"I will definitely defeat them!" Ace was a little depressed when he heard that, but he still made a harsh statement.

Uta could sense the agitation in his voice.

"BIG MOM and Kaido are members of the Rocks Pirates who have fought against the Roger Pirates. They are indeed very powerful. This strength is not just in terms of individual strength, but more in terms of power. If we go there rashly, we will be consumed by the massive army..." Luffy said.

"It's so dangerous. I think we should just ignore Sanji. After all, he is a high and mighty prince..."

Usopp backed out at the first opportunity. He was a timid person and didn't want Kaya to be in danger. Plus, Sanji's rejecting attitude made him the first person to oppose going to Wano Country.

"Usopp! Sanji-kun definitely didn't do this voluntarily. You also saw the ugly expression on his face after he heard the news about the Germa family..." Kaya interrupted Usopp.

Then, Luffy also made the inference that BIG MOM might have a fake marriage and would kill the entire Germa family. For a moment, the bounty hunter group in front of him fell silent.

Luffy held the Coke in one hand and shook it gracefully as if he was holding a glass of red wine. The white bubbles inside kept floating up like boiling magma.

Ace formed a loose and strange team, which on the surface seemed to be a small interest group, but as they made their way all the way to the present, they should have formed immeasurable friendships.

"Sanji-kun will be killed..." Kaya whispered this possibility, and even Usopp became conflicted and stopped talking.

Although he was timid, facing his friend's life and death crisis, he could no longer say that he would not go to Wanguo.

What a trouble. I didn't expect Sanji to get on the ship. Moreover, because of the allied countries, he was sent all the way to the Germa family.

Ace will definitely go to Wanguo, that's just his personality.

Luffy can predict Ace's words without using his foresight because that's just his personality.

"I'm going to the new world!"

Ace said this as a matter of course.

"We defeated Big Mom's two most capable children, Katakuri and Cracker. Now Big Mom's prestige has also been hit. She will definitely take iron-blooded means to maintain her rule. The armies of all nations should be mobilized in large numbers for this marriage..." Luffy expressed his opinion.

"If you want to go to Wanguo, remember to contact me in advance and I will pick you up."

"Luffy... I'm against you guys taking risks to go to Wano Country just for a debt. That's simply crazy. Wano Country's strength is not weaker than the navy. Den Den Mushi communications can be monitored by both parties at any time..."

"Besides, once the Germa Family Alliance's pirate affairs are confirmed, the member states will be quickly expelled from their nationality. What happens to non-member states has nothing to do with the Navy..." Peacock frowned.

"No matter from the perspective of strength or position, I don't think it is a wise choice to deal with Wan Guo for Germa."

"It's funny how that smelly-looking cook can cause so much trouble..." Zoro said while supporting his head with his chopsticks while eating.

These words from Peacock and the Navy made him drowsy.

"We have spaceships, and we are not going to go to war with all nations. We just need to deal with the matter of the man named Sanji..." said Uta.

"The ideal scenario is to rescue Sanji and leave, but that lecherous cook might be willing to marry you. After all, that guy hangs around women every day..." Zoro said sarcastically.

Everyone at the banquet was talking about the consequences and the like. Ace opened his mouth and said, "No need to trouble Luffy..." He was about to say this.

Don't bother anyone, just give me some supplies and I'll handle this by myself... Ace wanted to say this.

But Luffy simply drank the Coke in the tall glass, then picked up a large goose leg and started to tear into it.

Feeling the crispy skin of the goose leg tearing in my mouth and the joy of my taste buds dancing in the sauce, I slowly started to speak:
"We have a common grandfather. Ace is my friend."

Even though they didn't drink the wine of brotherhood and their childhood emotional bond wasn't deep, but because of the factor of Garp, objectively speaking, Ace and he were indeed friends.

"I really don't know why you, Peacock, joined the Blade Force. Isn't that a special unit that exists to throw the rules to the wind? Going to war with the Four Emperors is the meaning of that unit's existence, right?"

Luffy sighed at Peacock.

"You're right, but although this unit is not bound by rules in name..." But how can the rules be thrown aside so easily...

This charming lady fell silent.

The Blade Force will nominally submit their resignations and throw the rules to the winds, but objectively speaking, the rules have always existed in the hearts of every member of the Blade Force.

"You're right..." Peacock said no more.

"Well, next I will go to Wan Guo in the New World to pay back the money..." Ace stated the next destination.

"We will go to the West Sea, then go to Fishman Island and then return to Judicial Island..." Luffy estimated his next itinerary.

Bonnie staggered from the living room to the dining table, picked up a piece of pizza and stuffed it into her mouth without hesitation.

"Who are these guys?"

"We are friends, Bonnie..."

"Are you sleeping in now again?"

Bonnie spends most of her time in dreams with the bear, except for waking up to eat when necessary to replenish her body's energy. This makes this guy's life pattern extremely unstable.

"Hey, do you even have little ghosts on this spaceship?"

Usopp looked at the brat in shock.

"It doesn't look like a warship at all!"
