Pirate: I'm King Luffy!

Chapter 716: The Life of a Working Beast

There are not many places to visit in O'Hara, and the only valuable books have been moved to Elbaf by Sauro. Therefore, after Robin paid tribute to Dr. Clover, everyone returned to the spaceship.

Afterwards, according to the plan, they prepared to go to Fishman Island to salvage the criminals, and by the way, let Shirahoshi go back to see her father.

Nami was eager to try flying a spaceship to attack the evil pirates.

Wanting to try out the spaceship version of the climate attack, she made a brief stop in the West Sea.

Robin returned to the spaceship and continued reading as usual, accessing punk records and looking up the books stored in Vegapunk's mind.

"Is the worship done?" Vegapunk Den Den Mushi looked at Robin.

"Hmm... much easier." Robin nodded and pointed to an ancient version of the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia. "The ancient version of the encyclopedia does not have the Rubber Fruit Devil Fruit. Its real name is the Nika Fruit, the Mythical Beast Species."

"Oh my, the World Government is so evil that they even cover up the names of Devil Fruits. Will this be useful to the people who eat Devil Fruits?"

Vegapunk was shocked.

"I want to delete the new version of the Devil Fruit Encyclopedia from my memory bank..."

While they were talking, the spaceship shook with a clang and fell into the ocean.

"Nami?" Nojigao looked up at the navigator who was controlling the spaceship.

"I'm making latte art on my coffee and you're making my hands shake!"

"There was a huge storm coming, so I landed the boat on an island in the sea to take shelter."

"It will take about three days for us to take off again. It is very easy to predict the weather conditions in the four seas. It is not as changeable and complicated as the Grand Route~"

Based on her perception of Observation Haki, Nami gave everyone a brief weather forecast.

"What island is nearby?"

"Double Snake Island, it is said that there is a very large and luxurious casino on it..."

"A casino?"

They were discussing when Luffy woke up slowly. When he looked up, he rubbed Uta's soft and plump breasts. He squinted his eyes and rubbed them a few more times, reluctant to leave.

"Luffy!"

Uta hugged Luffy and blushed at his intimate actions. Fortunately, he had fallen asleep before and no one noticed him.

"what?"

Luffy yawned and woke up staggeringly.

"Are you awake?" Robin greeted Luffy gently.

"Not yet. I just vaguely sensed that there was a very strong person nearby..."

Luffy yawned and spoke with his eyes half asleep.

"Just like the time when Huangmu was there."

"If there is, there is. There is no fighting happening nearby. It is a peaceful island." Weiwei said.

Luffy opened his mouth but said nothing. He just tried his best to feel the tenderness of Uta behind him, then activated the domineering power of observation Haki and spread his perception to the distance.

"Godfather, we are already on the Navy's wanted list."

"Phew~ Don't worry about the navy. They can't lock our position on the Grand Line."

The man in the black suit was smoking a cigar and speaking slowly to the suited thug next to him.

[I didn't expect that a righteous man like Whitebeard would be betrayed by his subordinates. Humph, he is really getting old. The territory is constantly in chaos, shrinking, and being eaten by hyenas...]

[Rather than letting Whitebeard's territory be eaten up by those ignorant hyenas, it is better for me to take over the whole thing. ]

……

Luffy listened to the sound and gradually formed a picture.

After blocking out those weak auras, Luffy clearly saw Capone Bege who was eating in a casino. His temperament was so conspicuous, like a light in the dark night. The words "I am the boss" were welded on his forehead, and he had a thick cigar in his mouth, surrounded by smoke.

In addition to his conspicuous temperament as a gangster, he also has an elegant style. This guy has a scarf around his neck, a well-fitting striped suit on his body, and is talking about the New World and the Four Emperors Whitebeard.

It was this bold style that made Luffy focus some of his attention on him.

"The leader is weak and exhausted, unable to launch a powerful counterattack against anything that provokes him. Whitebeard's territory will become a sea of ​​blood. This is our fate..."

"I want to take over Whitebeard's legacy. To do this, I must first kill the traitor Blackbeard Teach, pay my respects and allegiance to Whitebeard, and then gradually turn his territory into my own..." said Becky.

"But... Godfather, is it really necessary to give up the entire West Sea to chase after a small piece of pirate territory?"

A henchman asked the Godfather in confusion.

The open sea is definitely larger than the New World, and they don't have to compete with other big pirates for territory, nor are they at risk of being targeted by the navy. In the West Sea, they are the real local emperors, and even the king has to live by their wishes.

"I think this is simply the wrong course of action!"

The henchman made up his mind and said to the godfather.

They had just conquered the entire underground world of the West Sea, and hadn't even had time to enjoy a few months of luxurious life before Capone Bege suddenly decided to join the Whitebeard Pirates. He didn't want to join the Godfather in making trouble.

"You are questioning my decision?"

Capone Becky smoked a cigar, and the smoke obscured his eyes.

"Sorry, Godfather..." After looking into Capone Becky's sharp gaze for a second, the henchman finally remembered what kind of legend he was talking to.

Capone Becky, the man who unified the entire West Sea underground world.

"I'm very sorry, I didn't mean that..." The man waved his hands, but it was too late.

"You have no right to question my decision!" Capone Becky grabbed the fork and stabbed it into the subordinate's palm, nailing his palm to the table, then pulled out a pistol and pressed it against his head.

The gunshots rang out, startling the people in the casino and causing the ladies to let out shrill screams.

Da…da…da…da…da…

The wooden stick made a crisp knocking sound when it hit the ground. A blind man with a huge hunched body, criss-crossing scars on his face and white eyes appeared.

"Oh my, was there a shooting here?"

"Please don't cause trouble in the casino I protect..."

"A blind man?" Capone Becky looked at the disabled man who stood up in confusion.

"Throw him out." Capone Becky sat back in his seat and ordered his subordinates to deal with the guy whose body was getting cold.

"We must give a strong response to anything that provokes us!"

The mafia godfather put away his pistol and crossed his hands in front of him.

"This is truly a thunderous move, sir." The hunchbacked giant said praisingly.

"Blind man, don't you realize that you are the only one who dares to come near here?" The leader of the Mafia raised his eyebrows at the blind man in front of him. Behind Becky, countless Mafia members in suits formed a human wall and stood upright beside him.

"I'm very sorry, I can't see, I can only rely on my sharp ears to listen, and it's my duty to protect this casino, so I have no choice but to go upstream."

"Who is the person in charge of this casino? Call him over to me? How do you do things?"

Capone Becky frowned. Even as a mafia member, he found the idea of ​​letting a blind man protect the casino counterintuitive.

"Godfather..." The casino manager wiped his sweat and rushed to the gangsters to explain hastily: "This blind swordsman lost a bet in the casino. I thought he was a bit good at fighting, so I let him stay as a bodyguard..."

"Can you fight a bit?" The godfather of the Mafia re-examined the blind swordsman in front of him.

The navy on the island surrounded the casino densely, pointing their more advanced muskets at the casino's door.

"..."

The Navy Den Den Mushi on the spaceship beeped, and Tashigi picked up the Den Den Mushi. This was a wide-area call:
"Warning, a shooting has occurred on the Twin Snakes Island. Reports say the leader of the Flame Tank Pirates is on the island. All navy personnel, gather here immediately!"

Luffy put away his observation Haki vision.

Oh no! A general-level civilian master is working as a minion for the casino!
That casino was a legal industry authorized by the government, and the boss behind it was a gangster...

In other words, Fujitora, who will be righteous in the future, is now working for the gang!

Weiwei was speechless. She had just said that this island was a peaceful island, and was immediately slapped in the face.

"Let me deal with the gang!" Nami used her Observation Haki to observe the direction of the upcoming storm, preparing to borrow the power of heaven and earth to launch a round of natural disasters.

"Tell the nearby navy to surround but not attack." Luffy ordered, and Dashigi immediately did so.

The naval command here was seized by Luffy, the vice admiral.

"We have to solve it quickly. It's going to rain heavily in half an hour." Nami called Rongrong and rode on the back of the huge lion dog.

The three people on this trip are Nami, Tashigi, and Luffy.

"We're surrounded by the navy." Becky said disdainfully as she looked at the densely packed navy soldiers outside the casino.

As the true ruler of the West Sea, he has long been aware of how useless the West Sea navy is.

To deal with him, we should call over the navy from the Grand Line.

"If the navigator hadn't said there would be a big storm recently, we should have headed to Upside Down Mountain a long time ago..." Capone Becky stood up and looked at the blind swordsman in front of him.

"Since you are a blind swordsman with some strength, you should go and stop those marines." Capone Becky gave the order directly to the swordsman in front of him.

"Godfather, there is an underground passage in the casino. You can leave the casino safely. Please go this way..." The person in charge of the casino hurriedly led the way.

Although Capone Becky of the gang is the person behind the casino, he has been wanted by the Navy. If he rashly exposes his identity, the casino will be put on the Navy's hit list.

"Don't leave!"

The door of the casino was rammed open by the lion dog. Nami, who had already activated her Observation Haki, would never let her target leave.

"Has your navigator reported to you that there will be another thunderstorm today?" Nami, who was riding a lion dog, asked while spinning a cute bubble gun on her finger.

With a loud thunderous sound, a bolt of lightning struck through the wall and accurately hit the tall gang leader.

Lightning is incredibly fast, but there are things that are even faster than that.

A staff knife was used to block the lightning. The terrifying high-voltage current wrapped around the staff knife, and then the staff knife smashed heavily to the ground, directing all the lightning into the earth.

"what?"

Nami frowned. There was actually an expert who could resist lightning here. She thought that he was the powerful civilian that Luffy had sensed.

"This is really troublesome. I didn't expect there would be people from the navy... This casino is what I am protecting. Can you please go outside and fight?"

The blind swordsman asked in a dilemma.

"A person with special abilities..." Capone Becky was first startled by the lightning, and then even more shocked by the blind swordsman's sword-swinging speed.

It was too fast. Such a swift slash was faster than a bullet and could even intercept lightning.

He is obviously just a blind man.

Seeing such an interesting scene, Capone Becky didn't plan to leave.

It doesn’t matter if the casinos are implicated by the government. All the casinos in the West Sea are his shareholding properties anyway, so losing one or two is no problem at all.

Marching into the Grand Line from the West Sea does not mean that he will give up the industries he has worked hard to build in the West Sea.

Capone Becky sat back in his seat, picked up a fresh set of cutlery, and ordered some steak.

"Navy, this casino is under government protection. Are you sure you want to arrest me here?"

"Not anymore. This casino is harboring pirates. From now on, its execution license will be revoked!" Tashigi said.

Luffy was promoted to vice admiral, and the unreasonable power he could exercise belonging to the government was further enhanced.

For such a trivial matter as suspending the business license, there is no need to even call government officials to apply for it.

It only took a few words from the Lieutenant General.

"Looks like I'm going to close a casino? Before that, let's just avoid the storm at sea in peace. I hope the tide doesn't rise and cause a disaster like seawater backflow."

Capone Becky said slowly.

"If you want to arrest me, you have to ask my bodyguard's consent first," said Capone Becky.

Dashigi returned her gaze to the swordsman in front of her.

He was the last to arrive but was faster than lightning. He must be a master who knew the Hakimi Sakura and could predict lightning in advance and gain the upper hand in time.

"Why would a swordsman like you work for the mafia!" Tashigi drew out Shigure.

"This is really a misunderstanding. I just lost money in gambling and had no choice but to work as a bodyguard in this casino to pay off my debts... As for the mafia, I have nothing to do with it..."

"Even if I work for him, it doesn't matter to me..."

"There is no real difference between working for the Mafia and working for the nobility."

The blind swordsman held his staff sword in his hand and faced the girls, but Luffy had a feeling that he was being targeted.

Moreover, he could feel the subtle and somewhat tense mood of his life.

As a master of Observation Haki, Luffy cannot forcibly read Yisheng's detailed thoughts, so he cannot tell where the tension comes from.

Is it the tension of being an enemy of the navy?

That's right, if you go against the navy, I think you look like a pirate.

If they were really labeled as pirates, they would lose the comfortable feeling of playing the pig and eating the tiger as the strong civilians.

Whether it is Green Bull or Fujitora, they are all law-abiding citizens!
