Chapter 20
I Am The Man Who Will Become the Pirate King!!!
The weather gradually turned dark and black clouds rose from the sky and gradually gathered above his head.
“Mr. Crowe.”
...“Hello, Mr. Crowe.”
“It’s going to rain. Mr. Crowe, pay attention to the rain.”
Crowe walked on the street with a smile on his face, and the pedestrians on the road greeted him.
Along with Leda, the big eater, was Mr. Nice Guy Crowe.
During his time in Roguetown, the gentle help he showed and his Marine identity allowed him to quickly gain popularity.
Using the review that Kuro gave him: If you have nothing to do, carry water for the widow. If you have anything to do, donate money to the widow. You will be fated with the widow for the rest of your life.
“You too. If you don’t have an umbrella, go back as soon as possible.”
Crowe smiled and greeted every pedestrian.
Only here did he have a little presence.
As for the Marine base, he could only suffer.
Look at what he has been through during this time!
They were either taking the blame or on the way to taking the blame.
It was completely different from what Kuro said at that time!
Then there was Leda, that damn pseudo-loli, who had nothing but herself to do.
That idiot Smoker is in a bad mood and he is using me to practice!
Only these residents are nice and can talk. He really likes this place.
At this time, he could feel the peace in West Rob Village.
Thinking of West Rob village, he thought of that damn straw hat, the bastard who ruined his plan.
“If it wasn’t for him, my plan would have succeeded long ago and I wouldn’t have met that pervert Kuro.”
The more Crowe thought about it, the angrier he became. He muttered, “That bastard will meet sooner or later. Just wait. As a Marine, I will definitely take revenge.”
“Pirate, a pirate has appeared on the execution platform of the square!”
“It’s ‘Clown’ Bucky and ‘Iron Rod’ Alita, they seem to want to execute others!”
There was a disturbance not far away.
“Execution platform? Bucky?”
Crowe frowned. Of course he knew this name. He could be said to be a great pirate in East Blue.
He turned to look. On the high execution platform, a man stood there. Although his face could not be seen clearly from a distance, his attire was what Crowe had been thinking about day and night.
“Straw Hat Kid!”
Crowe’s pupils shrank and he ran over.
… .
In the Marine building closest to the execution platform, Kuro stood on the platform and could see the scene of the execution platform.
“Hey, Kuro, do you see a red nose?”
Leda appeared from behind and said angrily.
“Red nose?”
Kuro pointed down. “If you’re talking about Bucky, it’s there.”
“It’s him, he dared to lie to me just now!”
Leda stared at the square and asked curiously, “Why are there so many pirates? Aren’t they going to be arrested? On the execution platform… Why is Straw Hat there?”
“He wants to see where One Piece died.”
Smoker’s voice came from behind.
He and Tashigi also came up the stairs at this time. Smoker handed a bounty sheet to Leda. “You haven’t seen it yet, have you? Monkey D. Luffy, that straw hat kid.”
“30 million?!”
Lida took the bounty and said in surprise, “First bounty? In East Blue?”
“He defeated Fishman Arlong, the bounty of 30 million is not exaggerated.”
Smoker looked at Kuro and asked, “Aren’t you not involved?”
Kuro stared at the farce on the execution platform. Luffy was caught by the shackles.
He smiled and said meaningfully, “Smoker, the times are calling.”
“What do you mean?”
Smoker had just had a question when he heard a loud voice in the square.
“I am the man who will become the Pirate King!!!”
That sound was enough to shake the world!
Smoker’s pupils contracted and he looked at the execution platform in disbelief.
“Hey, you are too arrogant.”
Lida was also stunned. “In this place… he actually wants to be a Pirate King.”
Bucky picked up the knife and was about to cut down, but at that moment, the straw hat kid who was stepped on smiled.
“He laughed…” Smoker was shocked.
“He smiled…” Leda found it unbelievable.
“He laughed…”
Crowe, who had just arrived, looked at Luffy who was smiling and stood there with mixed feelings.
The great terror between life and death, facing those who laugh at life and death, the hero.
Kuro also smiled. At this moment, his smile was a little ferocious, and his voice slowly emerged from between his teeth.
“Sea, thief!”
“Why!”
Smoker’s veins were showing and he said angrily: “Why does he laugh, why does he dare laugh!”
Boom!
The dark clouds were in the sky, and a thunderbolt fell from the sky and hit the execution platform. The huge power of the thunder and lightning made the execution platform burst into green flames and fell to the ground with a bang.
“Ahahahaha, I’m not dead.”
Luffy held his straw hat and laughed.
Smoker raised his arms high and waved them down.
In the alleys in all directions, Marines rushed out and surrounded the pirates.
“I will never let you run out of Rogue Town!”
Smoker turned and left.
“Kuro, aren’t you going up?” Leda swallowed her throat. The scene just now made her a little stunned.
Kuro shook his head and looked at the pouring rain.
“A dangerous man is coming. Keep a low profile. Be careful, he will take you away and bring you to rebel.”
Kuro would not go. He had not seen the plot. His Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki had sensed a dangerous man approaching.
It would be really troublesome to cross paths with the Revolutionary Army.
“Just watch the show. With that man here, we can’t achieve our goal no matter what. Besides… isn’t Crowe there? Let him try.”
Kuro saw the conspicuous black suit in the square.
“Roro Noah Zoro.”
In the square, Crowe slowly put on Ten Blades and sneered at Zoro. “Long time no see. You can’t run away this time.”
“Hey, who is that?”
Sanji looked at Zoro.
Zoro gritted his teeth and said defensively, “A pirate in Usopp Village is in trouble. Hey, as a pirate, don’t you want to escape first?”
“Run?”
Crowe laughed and his face darkened. “Shave.”
Whoosh!
In an instant, Zoro’s hair stood on end and his three knives instantly took a defensive posture.
Dang!
Just as he set it up, five claw blades streaked across the blade, and then Crowe’s other hand slashed over.
“Not good!”
Zoro moved back, but he was still a step too late. His body was hit by the claw blade and he fell a few meters away.
“Green algae head, damn it!”
Sanji shouted and rushed over, his foot like a sword.
“It’s useless.”
Crowe didn’t even look at it. With a slight flash, he raised his claws and brought out a stream of blood.
Sanji screamed in pain and fell down holding his waist and ribs.
Crowe adjusted his glasses and smiled. “I’m Marine. Why should I run?”
“Marines?”
Zoro stood up and said in surprise, “You joined the Marine? How did you do it!”
As soon as he heard this, Crowe became even angrier. His hands hung low and his claws rubbed the ground.
“Of course it’s because of you! You can stay here today!”
“Not bad.”
Leda pulled a bag of potato chips out of nowhere and looked at them as she ate.
“Just a little more.”
Kuro said, “Koro has just learned to control a little Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, and he is not proficient in shaving. It’s just that the other party was careless for the first time.”
