In the central square of Rogge Town.
"arrive."
Luffy looked up at the tall execution platform: "Is this where the Pirate King Roger died?"
I have wanted to become the Pirate King since I was a child. Now that I have come to the town where Roger was born and died, I am naturally interested in these things and can't help but feel excited.
"Brother."
"The man in front is the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Straw Hat Monkey D. Luffy!" Bartolomeo and his brothers were standing in the alley.
"Straw Hat Boy Luffy?"
Bartolomeo stared at Luffy, who was looking around curiously not far away in the square, and felt a little confused.
Why does this person seem to be in a bad mood?
"What about Bai Yu?"
Seeing that Bai Yu was not there, he asked again.
"Vice-Captain of the Straw Hat Pirates?"
"This…" The younger brother hesitated for a moment: "Gambia seems to have lost him. Bai Yu is a person with poor direction."
"He's been wandering around town."
"And just as Gambia caught up, the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Bai Yu, appeared behind him. No matter how hard Gambia chased him, he could always jump out from a fork in the road."
"In the end, the person was lost."
Bartolomeo, who was standing next to him, was completely stunned when he heard what he heard. He didn't expect that his idol would say that.
He is actually a person with poor sense of direction and doesn't know the way?
The other side.
Luffy also began to swing his arms, then reached out and grabbed the wooden board on the execution platform.
Immediately he jumped up.
Landed steadily on the execution platform.
"Whoa whoa–"
Luffy stood on it, looking down at the crowd below with a grin: "So this is what it feels like!"
However, it was at this time.
Pedestrians in the square also noticed Luffy above.
"Hey, hey!"
"Look over there, there are still people who are not afraid of death and dare to go up to the execution platform!"
"Wait, that seems to be——"
"The Navy has offered a bounty of 63.5 million berries to the great pirate, Monkey D. Luffy!"
The pedestrian immediately gave up his identity, and more and more people began to gather nearby, including some pirates, Buggy the Clown and Alrita.
"Damn you!" Buggy looked at Luffy angrily, "Today will be the day you die!"
The moment the words fell.
Kabbage leaped out from behind the scaffold.
He was holding an iron nail shackle in his hand, ready to pin Luffy down on it.
"I spotted you a long time ago!"
Luffy, who was originally still talking to himself, suddenly glanced back, turned around and kicked the opponent in the jaw.
"Bang–"
A kick hit Kabaji directly in the chin.
Then Lu leaped high into the sky.
His legs suddenly grew larger and stretched towards Kabaji, wrapping around him for a dozen times, and then carrying him to the ground a hundred meters below, smashing hard.
"Rubber rubber–Warhammer cannon!"
The legs wrapped around the other person spun rapidly.
As it accelerated the last few meters from the ground, Kabaji shot out from Luffy's legs like a cannonball.
"boom–!"
It fell headfirst into the ground in a spiral.
The whole square felt a huge vibration.
As for Kabbage, his entire body had already sunk into the ground, with only his two feet sticking out.
"ah–"
"Kabaji, are you okay?"
Buggy rushed out of the crowd, tore off his windbreaker, and yelled at Luffy.
"You damned bastard Straw Hat boy!"
"How dare you hurt my men!"
Luffy landed on the execution platform again and looked at Buggy with a puzzled look on his face: "I thought it was someone else, it turns out to be you, the red nose, why are you here again."
"Damn it!"
"We are here for revenge!" Buggy also declared: "Today is the day you die!"
Just as Bucky was about to launch a sneak attack.
But then I saw a long leg appear in front of me.
"Rubber Rubber Whip!"
"What!"
Bucky's eyes bugged out and he had no time to react before the rubber leg instantly kicked him in the face.
"Ouch!"
With a shrill scream, Buggy's face instantly distorted, and the whole person was like a fired cannonball, being blasted directly into the building.
"This Straw Hat Boy is so strong!" Bartolomeo was shocked when he saw this scene.
"Straw Hat Boy, just surrender!"
At this moment, a sonorous voice suddenly sounded from above the execution platform, and a figure in a navy uniform walked straight towards Luffy.
"White snake!"
The moment Smoker jumped from the air, his arm immediately turned into a puff of smoke and attacked Luffy.
"Why?"
"It's just like my rubber pistol!"
Luffy looked at the smoke curiously, then threw a punch towards the white smoke.
Bang——
The next moment, Luffy's face showed surprise.
Because he looked at his fist and it actually went straight through the smoke, but in the next second.
"oops!"
Smoker's white snake hit Luffy's chest, causing him to stagger, but not flying away.
Luffy took a few steps back.
I stood on the edge and almost fell down.
"Don't even think about entering the Grand Line!"
The moment Smoker stood on the execution platform, he took out the ten hands from his waist and then stabbed Luffy fiercely.
"You don't count."
Luffy, before he realized the seriousness of the situation, reached out to grab Jutte, but the next second, he fell onto the execution platform with a thud.
"hateful!"
"Why do I have no strength?"
Luffy struggled continuously on the execution platform, but no matter what he did, he could not move the ten hands from his neck.
Smoker slowly stood up and placed his ten hands on Luffy's neck. He also felt relieved at the same time. He was really worried that the other party was not afraid of seastone.
Looking at him like this, I was probably overthinking it.
"Straw Hat Boy."
"Do you enjoy showing off on the scaffold?"
Smoker regained his usual demeanor: "Don't you know what the outer execution platform is used for?"
"Of course I do."
"This is where criminals are executed."
"Besides, this is the execution platform where the Pirate King Roger was executed. But speaking of that."
"I finally know what Roger saw before he died, hehe~" Luffy just poked his head out and looked at the noisy crowd below.
"You can still laugh?" Smoker saw that Luffy was not afraid at all, but instead smiled with his teeth bared.
"I'm sorry."
"Your journey ends here."
Smoker said, and then turned his gaze to the people in the square, and then shouted loudly: "The criminal Straw Hat Boy Luffy, his crimes are extremely heinous, and he is now sentenced to death!"
"death penalty?"
Luffy turned around and barely saw Smoker's face: "This is the first time I've seen a death penalty."
"Where is that person?"
After hearing Luffy's words, Smoker felt a blockage in his heart and almost couldn't breathe.
"idiot!"
"You are the one sentenced to death!" Smoker roared almost in Luffy's face, and at the same time, for some reason, his blood pressure was rising sharply.
As soon as these words came out.
Luffy's eyeballs seemed like they would bulge out of their sockets in the next second, and his mouth was wide open.
"Ah, what a joke!"
"I don't want to die now!"
"Who are you kidding!" Smoker yelled madly, and then announced again: "Now publicly execute the pirate Straw Hat Boy Luffy!"
As he spoke, Smoker stretched out his hand downward.
Seeing this, a naval officer immediately threw his sword over, and Smoker caught it.
Then raise both hands high.
At this time.
Luffy suddenly looked determined, opened his mouth, looked down, and shouted from the bottom of his heart with all his might: "I am the man who will become the Pirate King!"
