Chapter 11 - 11 - Bet
"The floating of the floating I proudly float..."
Will, who was roller-skating barefoot on the ground, seemed to be very pleased while singing. If he regards the slippery fruit as a very fun ability, it doesn't seem to be that plain anymore.
During the days on the ship, Will was not idle and experimented with several ways to use it and some special tricks.
This includes the original 'Smooth~Tender~Spray~Shooting~!
But it's fucking cringy!
So the 'Sage of Naming' Will named his move 'Hitting and Slipping'!
The devil's fruit is a good deal for Will, who is very concerned about his appearance, so the initial reticence he had has long been forgotten.
"WHOOOAAH~!!" .
"Why are you able to slide and move?"
"Awesome!"
While Will was looking around and showing off his 'figure skating', a young man with a straw hat and glowing eyes suddenly jumped down from the tree!
This dumb and stupid monkey... There's no mistake, it's definitely the main character Luffy!
His grandfather was a naval hero named Garp, who used to chase the pirate King Roger around the world.
His father was the leader of the Revolutionary Army, a big boss who fought to usurp its current ruler!
And two of his brothers, One is the son of the Pirate King, who will be the captain and godson of the White Beard Pirates, and the other is working for his dad as the Chief of Staff of the Revolutionaries.
Just this family line up alone, he can't afford to mess with them!
Not to mention the fact that from the time he left and started his adventure at the sea, he went headlong down the road of no return!
Why can't he be beaten by nature?
Because it doesn't exist, and he'll win every fight with an upgrade on himself!
The Shichibukai, Four Emperor's, Tenryujin, and Admiral...
I'll show you all the way!
Before Will crossed over, Luffy had already become the fifth emperor of the sea, or 'Five Emperors' for short!
And his bounty is 1.5 Billion Beli!
He has to say that the young boy standing in front of Will at this moment with his eyes wide open and checking him out will turn the world upside down in the future!
But now...
"Who are you?"
"My name is Luffy, the man who will become the King of Pirates in the future!"
So are you going to be the King of Thieves or the King of Thieves man?
Will wanted to say this lousy synopsis that had been used countless times, but I'm sure Luffy's intelligence wouldn't be able to comprehend it, so he'd better save it.
"King of Pirates? Do you have the strength to become one?"
"Sure! I'm strong! Come be my partner when I get out to sea, Skidoo!"
God damn the 'skid row freak'!
Can't you do what I do when it comes to naming names and be a little artistic!
Will is not happy hearing the name he was given!
"You're too weak to be my captain!" Will said rudely, maybe the future Luffy will be strong, but the current Luffy is just a rubber boy without its stretch.
"Then let's fight! I must have you as my partner!" Luffy said, preparing himself.
Will was originally here to let his existence known, so naturally, he would not refuse such an offer, he liked Luffy since who doesn't like such a pure person, and for the sake of his ideal, Luffy never took a step back, but that is Luffy's ideal and lifestyle, not his, only like-minded people can come together, but obviously, they are not the same.
"Wait a minute, fighting is fine but that argument has to be settled, I'm fine with sailing with you if I lose, what if you lose?"
"If I lose, we will fight until I win! And there's no way I can lose!"
Great, very Luffy answer!
"So be it, if you lose you owe me a devil fruit, and pay me back when you see me again later on when you go out to sea,
With Luffy's character, it is impossible for him not to keep his promise unless he has forgotten it.
A 100% profitable deal, Will's bones really do still have the blood of a dark businessman in his veins.
"Devil Fruit? So bad tasting fruit... Ugh!"
At the mention of the Devil's Fruit, Luffy looks like he was about to barf, it's just that the taste casts too big a shadow on his mind.
"Deal! If I lose, I'll definitely find you a devil fruit when I go out to sea, and I'll make sure you become my partner then, though I won't lose!"
Luffy looked confident!
However a few minutes later...
"Gomu Gomu no... Machine gun!"
Bang!
Will grabbed Luffy's wrist and smashed it to the ground!
What are the characteristics of the slippery fruit without even needing to use his 'badger' brother form?
Slippery!
Zero friction is no joke!
All of Luffy's attacks on Will's body have only one result, and that is to just slip away!
Don't tell me this ability is useful for defence!
"Do we continue this fight?"
Luffy didn't say anything, he just got up from the ground and rushed at him again without saying a word!
If he conceded defeat so easily, how could he have gone up against so many powerful enemies again and again?
It seems that the only time Luffy felt that his group could never win a battle was when he was confronted by a bear in the Sabaody Islands.
And it's his first order as a captain to run!
It's a very heart-wrenching episode.
In fact, he thought that since he appeared in this world, it was only right that the main character should be him!
If he really came up against Luffy's group, he would not choose to hold back at all.
So Will cleanly slid away from all of Luffy's attacks with the power of the Slippery Fruit and rushed in front of Luffy, then raised his right hand with the Infinity Gauntlet high in the air!
It knocked him to the ground with a bang!
A large crater appeared underneath Luffy's body!
Luffy was still struggling to get up, but every time he stumbled, Will would hammer him to the ground again with a grimace!
Hold back a little? A little mercy?
That's disrespectful to this fight, and also to the other side!
With so many times Will had knocked Luffy down, Luffy finally lost consciousness.
"What trouble!"
Will muttered as he saw it, but he still leaned over to carry him up.
"Shit, I forgot to ask him where he lives..."
"Forget it, let's look for it."
When Will finally found the bandit Dadan's family, it was already dark.
"Who are you!"
"Does Luffy live here?"
Only then did Dadan see the stranger with Luffy on his back.
"Who are you? What happened to Luffy?" Rather than lowering his guard, Dadan picked up a weapon on the side.
"My name is Will, when Luffy wakes up, please tell him that I will wait for him to fulfil his promise in the new world."
"That's it."
After saying that, Will handed the unconscious Luffy to Dadan, then left by himself.
So, when we meet again, what kind of surprise will you bring me? Luffy!
