I, the great swordsman, am definitely not a bootlicker

The day after the decisive battle, Cyrus's family...

"Luffy, we have almost finished dealing with things here. It's time for us to go back and report. This is my life card. I hope we can meet again in the future."

"Yeah! Sabo! We will definitely see each other again. Once Big Ears finds Zoro, we will be ready to set sail, hehehe."

"Sister Robin, if that bastard bullies you, just tell me and I'll find someone to help you beat him up!"

"Hehehe...Okay, Kerla."

"Goodbye, everyone."

"Hey? Uncle soldier, are you leaving too?" Usopp, who was healed by the dwarf princess, looked at Cyrus who was packing his luggage.

"Well, peace has returned to this country. Rebecca will be happy when she becomes a princess in the future. I am a person with blood on my hands. Staying here will make Rebecca... Anyway, I also plan to travel." Cyrus showed a warm smile.

"Oh! Uncle, are you going sailing too? Come and be my partner!" Luffy jumped onto the table, showing his big white teeth.

"Uh..." Cyrus thought of a certain green algae-headed guy and frowned: "Forget it, I'm afraid I won't be able to resist beating that brat."

"Hahahaha, is that so?! Then forget it..."

……

Palace, restaurant.

"Grandpa, your son-in-law is really outrageous. You should find time to educate him. Is this how you treat your benefactor?" A green-haired man ate a delicious palace breakfast while asking for repayment.

"Hahaha, I can't control him anymore."

"You deserve it! Who told you to be shameless? Rebecca is only 16 years old!" The aunt next to her said angrily.

Rebecca's face flushed red: "Father is a bit too much..."

"Yeah, help me teach him a lesson later!"

"Don't listen to him! Auntie is telling you, he's a notorious pirate who takes pleasure in tarnishing girls' reputations. Don't be fooled by him!"

"Hey, Violet, stop talking nonsense! I'll sue you for defamation!"

At this moment, a flash of lightning appeared outside the window: "Hey! Foolish mortal, prepare to set sail! Also, this is the letter from the soldier to her."

"Huh? Leaving now? Aren't we leaving in two days?" The green algae-headed man looked confused. He took the letter from Enel's hand and handed it to Rebecca.

"Huh? Didn't anyone say they would leave in two days?" The big-eared thief outside the window glanced at him.

Uh, yes, Luffy wasn't seriously injured... Oh, and it seems Cyrus is going to leave Rebecca behind to go on a trip!

So, the green algae-haired girl ate the bread leisurely, and Rebecca remained silent after reading the letter.

"Hey! Have you finished eating?" The big-eared thief barked outside the window.

Suddenly, a flash of red appeared in the green algae-headed man's eyes. "You've been so arrogant lately. Are you itching for trouble again?"

The big-eared thief seemed to remember something and hid his head, "The rubber monkey told me to hurry..."

"Rebecca, Cyrus may be planning to never see you again. Let me take you to find him." After saying that, the green algae-haired man hugged Rebecca and jumped out of the window.

"Asshole!" Violet was furious.

"Stop! You hateful pirate!" King Riku strongly condemned.

But it was too late. Rebecca's voice came from afar: "Aunt! Promise me a request. You will be the princess."

"Father...it seems Rebecca won't be returning to the palace." Violet smiled and shook her head. "This is the second time in my life I've received such a strange request..."

"Hahaha, like mother, like daughter."

The terrible incident of kidnapping the princess happened here again.

……

On a hill far away from the town, Cyrus, who was ready to go, looked back at the cozy little house. Suddenly, he heard a rapid sound of footsteps in the air. He turned his head to look at the sky and suddenly became furious.

"You little bastard! What are you planning to do to Rebecca?!"

"Hey! Of course I brought her to see you. You're already a father, but you're still thinking about poetry and distant places. What a joke! Hurry up and find a factory job!" After putting Rebecca down, the green-haired man said a few heartbreaking words and fled towards the port.

"You little bastard! I won't let you go!!" Cyrus could only utter a harsh word, then looked at Rebecca helplessly.

The father and daughter made a wave of affectionate confessions and finally looked at the distant port.

Ding! Earn the gratitude of girlfriend No. 42 and receive +1000 love points.

……

The port is full of pirate ships ready to set sail.

Luffy and his friends have been forcibly dragged onto the mercenary ship of the giant Helding.

"Oh oh oh! Luffy-senpai~~and Robin-senpai, Franky-senpai and Sniper King Usopp-senpai~~~are so dazzling!!" The green-haired rooster-haired man on the boat danced with joy, completely ignoring one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

"Hey!! This ship is so big~~~" Luffy didn't notice that a large group of people were gathered on this ship.

"Everyone is almost here, so... as soon as Roronoa arrives, our ceremony can begin!" Hakuba Cavendish flicked his hair in a showy manner.

"Ritual?" Usopp looked confused.

"What?" Luffy sniffed the air and suddenly became excited: "Oh, is there going to be a party?!"

As lightning flashed in the sky, followed by a rapid sound of footsteps in the air, Zoro and Enelu also jumped onto the boat.

"Senior Zoro~~" The cockscomb-haired guy's eyes were full of stars again.

"Hey! Cockscomb, you're still here!" Zoro was very satisfied with this little fan.

"Now that everyone is here, let's get started..." The giant Helding solemnly introduced: "Straw Hat, I have four giant mercenary partners here. Together with them, I want to unite all the giants... and revive the once-great Giant Pirates."

"Oh! Really?! Then he'd be a formidable opponent if we fought. See you someday in the future!!"

Admiral Orombos then said: "Our fleet of 56 ships, the Yotamaria Grand Fleet, will certainly be of use in the future."

Then came the little human Leo: "Luffy Lando, the leader of the Tontata tribe has agreed, please let us join."

"Join?" Luffy tilted his head, not understanding what they were doing.

The former bounty hunters, "Wrecking Cannon" Ideo, "Wrecking Cannon" Ideo, Abdra, and Jet also said: "We have decided to join forces to go to sea!"

Slimane "Beheaded" pointed at the white horse Cavendish: "I'm going to board this guy's ship!"

"You have to call me Captain!!" Hakuba Cavendish complained, then pointed at Luffy and Zoro: "And you two guys, remember that I am your senior. Although I intend to support you, I will never give up the highest popularity."

"Huh? What are you guys talking about?" Luffy tilted his head, looking confused.

"Let me explain," Orombos explained. "By the way, the ranking is determined by drawing lots..."

Then, without asking for the consent of the parties involved, they arranged the numbers:

Captain of Ship No. 75: "Pirate Noble" White Horse Cavendish, with men under his command;

Captain of Ship No. 56: "Cannibal" Bartolomeo, with men under his command;

Captain of Ship No. 1000: Lao Cai of Babao Navy, with men under his command;

Captain of Ship No. 4: "Destroyer Cannon" Ideo people;

Captain of Ship No. 200: Dontata Corps, a total of people;

Captain of Ship No. 5: members of the Giant Pirates;

Finally, there is the captain of ship No. 4300, "Admiral" Orombos, who has men under his command.

A total of 5600 people, not far from what Usopp boasted.

"...Luffy-senpai, please drink a glass of acceptance wine with the seven of us as representatives!!!" The cockscomb-haired man took the lead and knelt on the ground.

"Accept?" Luffy was still confused.

"Yes!! You are the boss, and we are the younger brothers. To repay you and Usopp-senpai's kindness, please accept us as part of the Straw Hat Pirates!"
