Chapter 81: Chapter 81: Doing Bad Deeds and Still Feeling Superior? Kill! Kill Them All!
"Laboon stopped headbutting the mountain~~~~"
"[It remembered the day it parted ways with the Rumbar Pirates. Every crewmate had come to tell it to take good care of itself, to eat well, to sleep well....]"
"[But now... did it eat well? Did it sleep well? Did it take good care of itself???]"
"[Its large, round eyes looked towards Luffy. Laboon was a little dazed~~]"
"["You, pull yourself together! That stinky old man told me about you, but he didn't go to sea with the Rumbar Pirates, so how would he know about the Rumbar Pirates???"]"
"["Listen, I feel like you're a lot like my little buddy! But you... you're not as obedient as my little buddy!"]"
"["If you also believe in your crewmates, then you should eat well, sleep well, and take good care of yourself... That way, when your crewmates return, they'll be happy!!!"]"
"[Laboon seemed to understand. Its body sank down a bit, no longer headbutting the mountain.]"
"["Great! Since you're willing to listen to me, let's make a promise!!"]"
"["I'm about to circumnavigate the Grand Line. Along the way, I'll help you ask about the Rumbar Pirates. Whether I find news of them or not, I'll definitely come back to see you and bring you the news!!!"]"
"["And you! You have to learn from my little buddy, take care of yourself, and don't let your hungry and skinny self wait for your crewmates' return~~~"]"
"["If you accept this promise, then pat my hand with your tail!"]"
"[Saying this, Luffy's right arm stretched out, and at the same time, his fist filled with air, becoming like a hot air balloon...]"
"["Boo~ Boing~ Boing~"]"
"[Laboon let out a cry, then plunged into the sea. Its tail swung over and gave Luffy's head a 'zero-zero-three' high-five!!!]"
"[This scene made Crocus, who was beside them, look dumbfounded.]"
"[Ever since Laboon started headbutting the mountain, Crocus had tried to persuade it for so many years, but to no effect!!!]"
"[But he never imagined that Luffy would actually convince Laboon in less than half an hour, making Laboon completely stop self-harming....]"
"[Years of effort couldn't compare to someone else's half-hour display....]"
"[Comparing it like this, Crocus felt like he was simply a piece of trash.]"
"["Laboon... it seems these are the pirates we've been waiting for, right...?"]"
"[Watching Luffy frolicking with Laboon, Crocus muttered to himself~~]"
"[After that, Crocus gave his Log Pose to Luffy, and Luffy's group left Twin Capes, continuing onward.]"
Here~~~~~
The red-bordered screen gradually dimmed...
Nami: "He...? ...He actually knows how to tell stories....."
Vinsmoke Sanji: "This story was told really well!!! It successfully saved that whale~~~"
Brook: "Although the story was made up, for me, this was exactly what our Rumbar Pirates were truly thinking back then!!! When we were on the verge of death, we were still worried if Laboon was eating well, if it was sleeping well...
Everyone couldn't go back to see it, so everyone pinned their hopes on me!!"
For others, the story was just touching.
But for Brook, this was completely narrating what was in the hearts of their Rumbar Pirates.
Monkey D. Luffy: "How did the me over there think of such a method..., it's much better than fighting."
People will grow, and Luffy is no exception~~~
Although he's a bit of an idiot, once he experiences certain things, he will eventually grow up!!
The comparison in the viewing system had a great impact on Luffy...
Especially now that the Going Merry's Klabautermann had been revived~~ Luffy's state of mind had changed significantly.
He began to realize that he should sometimes restrain his recklessness~~~
Just like in persuading Laboon, the things he did on a whim, although effectively stopping Laboon's self-harm, had ignored the Going Merry's feelings...
If it weren't for watching the comparison video now, Luffy probably would never have realized the harm he had caused to the Going Merry in his lifetime~~~
Not long after~~~
The white-bordered screen gradually lit up...
"[The Straw Hat Pirates left Twin Capes~~~]"
"[They arrived at Whiskey Peak, and after defeating more than a hundred bounty hunters from Baroque Works by himself.]"
"[The Straw Hat Pirates learned the true identity of Princess Vivi, and thus decided to help the princess.]"
"[After that, their ship arrived at Little Garden and encountered the giants Dorry and Brogy.]"
"[After battling with Baroque Works' special agents, they successfully defeated the opponents, and then left Little Garden.]"
"[On the way, Nami got a fever, and the group headed to the medically advanced Drum Island.]"
"[With the help of the witch Dr. Kureha, Nami's condition gradually improved~~~]"
"[When leaving Drum Island, the Straw Hat Pirates also 'kidnapped' Chopper, successfully recruiting a new crewmate!]"
Everything was just as the Straw Hat Pirates had experienced~~~
Not long after...
The red-bordered screen slowly lit up...
"[Luffy and his group, relying on the Log Pose given by Crocus, arrived at the next island, Whiskey Peak.]"
"["Long live the men of the sea!!"]"
"["Welcome to 'Welcome Town,' Whiskey Peak!!"]"
"["Welcome to our town!"]"
"["Welcome to the Grand Line!"]"
"[...]"
"[Upon arriving at the port of Whiskey Peak, Luffy and his group received a warm welcome~~~]"
"["Huh? So many people... are they all welcoming us???"]"
"[Usopp widened his eyes, shouting in disbelief.]"
"[Sanji scratched his head: "What's going on... what happened?"]"
"[Nami ran out from the ship's cabin and asked curiously.]"
"[Then, she said in surprise: "Are the people in this place so enthusiastic?"]"
"[However, Luffy smiled faintly: "Of course not.... They probably don't have good intentions~~~"]"
Vinsmoke Sanji: "Nani??? The Luffy over there is so perceptive?"
Roronoa Zoro: "How did you figure that out?"
Usopp: "Yeah yeah! The me over there at that time was still quite smug~~~"
Nami: "No way! This means they don't have good intentions?"
"[Hearing this, Nami's excited expression immediately tensed up, and she looked at Luffy doubtfully:]"
"["Huh? Why do you say that???"]"
"[Luffy explained: "At first glance, they are enthusiastic town residents, but how can all town residents be carrying weapons, and they're not hidden well at all, completely visible on the surface~~~"]"
"[Luffy's Kenbunshoku Haki had already noticed the weapons on these people. Even the nun-like ones and the child-like ones were also carrying guns!]"
"[Hearing Luffy say this, everyone on the ship immediately put away their excited moods~~~]"
"["We're all being treated as 'fat sheep,' so why are you still smiling?"]"
"["Welcome, this is Whiskey Peak Town, I am the mayor here, Igarappoi!"]" (Note: Igaram's disguised name)
"["I know you might be very surprised!! But Whiskey Peak Town is a town where alcohol and music are very developed. Our tradition here is to be warm and hospitable!"]"
"["The fine wine we are proud of is inexhaustible. Tonight, let us entertain you with your adventure stories, please allow us to hold a banquet to welcome you!!"]"
"["Everyone, would you do us the honor???"]"
"[The 'Mayor' of Whiskey Peak, Igarappoi, bowed deeply to the Going Merry with great courtesy~]"
Monkey D. Luffy: "Huh? This mayor is different from the one we met back then~~~"
Nefeltari Vivi: "Ah~, that's because at that time we hadn't infiltrated Baroque Works yet~~~"
Nami: "Hahaha! Luffy is such an idiot~~ He doesn't remember things!"
"[Facing 'Mayor' Igarappoi's enthusiastic invitation, Luffy looked at his nostrils and said faintly:]"
"["No thanks!"]"
"[!!! ——]"
"[The most feared... utter silence ——]"
"[Everyone present was stunned!!]"
"["As the saying goes, don't hit a smiling face~~~"]"
"["They had deceived countless pirates into walking into their trap with this enthusiastic welcome, and had never failed before~~~"]"
"["Where did this weirdo in front of them come from???"]"
"["To actually be so disrespectful???"]"
"[Igarappoi's mouth twitched: "Err... this hero of the sea, we sincerely welcome you to be our guests, why...???"]"
"["No way! We have over 100 million Berries on our ship. Drinking might lead to trouble! Thank you all for your kindness. We'll just stop here for a few days. When the Log Pose is set for the next island, we'll leave immediately."]"
"[Luffy intentionally revealed his wealth~~~]"
"[The reason he only said over 100 million Berries was because if he said too much, they wouldn't believe him and would instead think he was bluffing...]"
"[Over 100 million Berries!!!!]"
"[Hearing Luffy blurt out this number, the eyes of the people at the docks all shone with a fierce light!!!]"
"["Haha!! It's actually a fat sheep that won't take the bait!!!"]"
"[Even 'Mayor' Igarappoi's mouth contorted, his originally enthusiastic demeanor instantly vanishing!!!]"
"["Since they're not falling for it, then let's just get straight to the point!"]"
"[Swish swish swish swish!!]"
"[As Igarappoi drew his gun, nearly a hundred people at the docks all drew their respective weapons!!]"
"[Seeing this, Luffy squatted down, his hands resting on his knees: "Excuse me... what does this mean???"]"
"["Hmph! Kid!! Tell your people to disembark immediately, to avoid physical suffering!!"]"
"[Igarappoi also dropped the act, pointing his gun at Luffy.....]"
"["I get it!!! You guys are bounty hunters from Baroque Works, right?"]"
"[At this moment, Zoro suddenly remembered something!!]"
"[When he was a bounty hunter before, Baroque Works had once invited him.]"
"[Igarappoi looked slightly to the side: "Oh? You actually have some insight!!"]"
"[Zoro continued: "Since you are bounty hunters, then it's easy to talk! We are not pirates, so we are not your targets~~~"]"
"["Hahahahaha!!!"]"
"[The people at the docks suddenly burst out laughing~~~]"
"[Igarappoi grinned:] "Kid!!! Don't misunderstand! Whether bounty hunters hunt bounties or not isn't important. What's important is that your ship has over 100 million Berries...""
"["So you just want to rob us of our money, huh?" Nami also asked~]"
"[Hearing this, Igarappoi looked over at Nami, and immediately a lecherous look appeared on his face. He licked his lips:] "Money must be robbed, and people must be robbed too!! Especially a beautiful woman like you, you absolutely must be robbed, hahahaha!!!""]"
"["Hahahaha!!!"]"
"[A burst of lewd laughter also erupted from the crowd~~~]"
"["Bastards! You're courting death!!" Hearing that guy below verbally harassing Nami, Sanji was instantly enraged!!!]"
"["Cut the crap!! Since you won't surrender obediently, then prepare to die!!"]"
"["Get them!!"]"
"[Faced with the temptation of money + beautiful women, Igarappoi couldn't wait any longer!!!]"
"[With a wave of his large hand, he ordered the attack!]"
"[Boom~~~~]"
"[The moment his voice fell, an indescribable, terrifying pressure suddenly erupted!!!]"
"[It was as if the sky had suddenly collapsed, pressing down hard on them!!!]"
"[Everyone at the docks instantly fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth~~~]"
"[Luffy, with one foot on the railing, let out a sigh:] "These guys... doing bad deeds and still feeling superior... Throw them all into the sea to feed the fish, save them from harming others~~~"]"
"["Leave it to me!"]"
"[Nami slightly raised her chin, poured a cup of water forward, then her right hand held her left index finger, and her Slip-Slip Fruit ability activated~]"
"[A thin film of water appeared on the ground of the docks, then split into countless small water droplets, quickly arriving beneath those bounty hunters~~~]"
"["Swoosh!! ——"]"
"[As if silky smooth, these guys' bodies were instantly swept out to sea 2.8 [units of distance? unclear]~~]"
"["PlopPlop"]"
"[A full hundred people, in the blink of an eye, all fell into the sea~~~]"
Nami: "The me over there has no hesitation at all when doing this kind of thing....."
Seeing the Nami from Red Luffy's side mercilessly throwing over a hundred people into the sea, Nami was a little shocked!!
After all~~~
Saying throwing them into the sea, actually just meant ending their lives!!
Monkey D. Luffy: "The order was given by the me over there... Did he just kill them all directly?"
Nefeltari Vivi: "...Fortunately, I hadn't joined Baroque Works at this time. If I happened to be here too, wouldn't I have died unjustly along with them..."
Nico Robin: "Don't overthink it! The Luffy and Nami over there did nothing wrong. If the Luffy and his group over there had fallen into the hands of these guys, their end wouldn't have been any better~~~"
Trafalgar Law: "That's right!! This world is just like that..... If you want to kill people and seize their goods, then you must be mentally prepared to be counter-killed at any time!!"
Eustass Kid: "You guys are actually getting hung up on this?? Killing people... if you want to kill, then kill!! In this era, the weak have no right to speak!!"
Koby: "Garp-san, the Red Luffy over there doesn't go soft when killing at all.... He's full of uncontrollability!!"
Akainu: "A person like this will eventually become a criminal who endangers justice!!"
Shiki: "What??? In the eyes of you bunch of trash Marines, are only those obedient civilians normal people? As long as someone has even a little thought of resistance, they all deserve to die???"
Gol D. Roger: "Hahaha!!! Marines are all idiots, no need to bother with them!"
"[After dealing with these people from Baroque Works, Luffy and his group stayed at Whiskey Peak for three days and replenished some supplies.]"
"[When the Log Pose had recorded the magnetic field, they left Whiskey Peak~]"
