Ghost Shark, but in the world of One Piece

Page 48

Especially the one leading the group, she's so much prettier than the village beauty—Makino!

Just then, a figure blocked his way.

"Oh, it's the Navy, sir. I'm Slap, the village chief of Windmill Village. Is there anything you need?"

Ghost Shark stopped and looked up. In front of him was a hunched old man leaning on a cane.

wind

Grandpa from Checun?

I do have a vague recollection of it; when the bandit king Seagod stepped on Luffy, he was the first to rush forward, kneel down, and beg for mercy.

"Don't worry, Lieutenant General Garp sent us here on his behalf."

Garp's request?

Slap had initially thought the Navy was preparing to arrest the bandit Dadan, but after hearing Specter's explanation, his brow relaxed.

"In that case, come with me."

He walked in front of the crowd, acting as their tour guide.

"Speaking of which, we should really thank Garp, otherwise Windmill Village wouldn't be so peaceful."

Slap chatted amiably with Ghost Shark about the history of Windmill Village, and amidst their laughter and conversation, the group soon arrived at Colbo Mountain.

"Lauren Tina, the environment here is quite nice."

Alice is dressed like a sprite leaping in the wilderness today. Her blue dress paired with a white blouse makes her look cute and adorable. Her hair accessories are as soft as falling snow, adding to her bright and cheerful aura.

"It would be great for a picnic."

The aquatic plants were lush and the fallen petals were colorful. The light and shadow on the low wooden stumps were dappled, making it look like a place where a few kids drank their sworn brotherhood wine.

Just then, Alice lost her footing and stumbled forward.

"what!"

shave!

Just as the reckless girl was about to pounce on Laurentina, Ain reacted quickly and disappeared on the spot, catching Alice in the next moment.

"Are you okay?"

Wearing a brown uniform and pantyhose, Ain rolled her eyes and reached out to pinch Alice's cheek.

Don't even think about sneaking away!

Ghost Shark suppressed a laugh as it continued forward, and a building with two large swords hanging from its roof came into view.

A bandit's family!

As soon as the navy arrived, a group of well-trained bandits drew their weapons and pointed them at the group.

"Navy? Stop now, if you don't want to die!"

A burly, orange-haired woman stood confidently in front of the crowd, a cigarette dangling from her lips.

Slap, who was leading the way, stared wide-eyed.

Hey, this is the monster that killed the Golden Lion!

Are you so brave?

Meanwhile, in a corner of the bandit's house, Makino, who was teaching etiquette, stood protectively in front of the two children.

The unfamiliar navy—who knows if they're here to arrest Dadan's family?

"Ain, it seems like our navy has become the bad guys?"

"Weren't they supposed to be kind-hearted bandits?"

Ain was a little confused. Did the bandits think they were outnumbered? Tina had taken half of the navy with her, and with the personnel assigned to guard the ship and supply the supplies, there were only ten navy men left.

Garp's people?

Dadan instantly recalled the fear of being dominated by that man. Just as she was about to disarm herself, the most beautiful woman stepped forward and glared at her.

hum!

The terrifying aura emanating from the Ghost Shark's origin, like a tsunami, instantly engulfed the bandits. Dadan cowered in fear, breaking out in a cold sweat, then rolled her eyes back and fainted.

Thump, thump...

One by one, the bandits fainted.

Not bad, Conqueror's Haki can finally be used on a targeted group, unlike before when it intimidated both friend and foe.

Specter smiled and flicked his hair before turning his gaze to Ace and Luffy behind Makino.

"Hey! What did you do to Dadan and the others?" Ace grabbed a water pipe and stormed out in a rage.

"You wicked Marine!" Luffy followed closely behind, waving his hands and spinning around, preparing an attack.

"Ace, Luffy, stop!" Makino shouted anxiously from the side, while Slap quickly stepped between the two sides, ready to mediate.

Bang Bang!

The figure with the earring swaying precariously was extremely clean and efficient, each punch landing with unparalleled force, slamming down domineeringly towards the heads of the two brats.

Speaking of which, personality correction techniques also exist in this world.

Laurentina wished she could also gain this amazing ability.

Ghost Shark clapped his hands, picked one up in each hand, and walked into the bandit's house...

"What? So it's a kind-hearted Marine who's delivering money for Mr. Garp."

In the simple living room, Dadan counted the banknotes in her hand, her gaze towards Ghost Shark practically glowing with enthusiasm.

Ace and Luffy, with large bumps on their heads, dared not speak out in anger, like the suffering Calabash Brothers.

At this moment, Dadan's subordinates, Dogula and Magula, one simple-minded and the other short, respectfully served the sailors roasted meat, plate after plate.

Because of Garp's rare generosity and Specter's kind look, Dadan gritted her teeth, took out half a month's worth of food, and happily held a small feast.

That's wild beef we've been hunting for a long time!

Under the expectant gazes of the Ace brothers, Specter smiled and gave each of the marines except himself five plates of grilled meat. In contrast, the bandit family had one of their original two plates stolen.

Upon learning that the bandits truly made a living by farming, the marines breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.

The simple and crude bandit hall was filled with the rustic aroma of wine and meat. Some sailors and bandits were having a singing contest, and laughter filled the air.

Even Luffy and Ace put aside their differences and took the initiative to demonstrate how to use chopsticks to support their noses and chins, happily joining in the banquet.

"Hey, you two kids, what do you want to do in the future?" Laurentina took a sip of freshly squeezed juice in front of everyone and abruptly asked this question.

Suddenly, Slap and the others felt a pang of anxiety.

You really need to be mindful of the occasion, Ace and Luffy!

Under everyone's watchful eyes, the oblivious Luffy grabbed the large bone and meat, took a bite, and chuckled:

"I don't want to be a pirate anymore."

Ok?

Don't want to be a pirate anymore?

Makino sat on the wooden board, her expression a mixture of surprise and relief. It was all thanks to her; she had taught the children manners and reversed their negative attitudes.

.

Slap breathed a sigh of relief. With such a bad reputation for pirates, Luffy was able to come to his senses. If Garp knew this, he would definitely be so excited that he would shed tears.

Even Alice smiled and patted his head, handing him a plate of roast meat she hadn't touched. What an adorable little guy.

"Wow! Grilled meat!" Luffy's eyes lit up as he grabbed a handful, mumbling, "Being a pirate is too ordinary. I'm going to be the Pirate King!"

"Are you kidding me, Luffy?" Ace slapped Luffy on the head, then closed his eyes smugly. "The one who's going to become the Pirate King is me!"

The air seemed to freeze instantly.

"Ahem." Laurentina coughed lightly, covering her mouth, and pulled out a Den Den Mushi from behind her. "You heard me clearly, Vice Admiral Garp."

Ace, Luffy, and Dadan suddenly suffered cardiac arrest.

"Hey! Ace, Luffy!!" Garp roared through the Den Den Mushi, "Are you still clinging to this ridiculous idea?"

"Ah, it's Grandpa. I already told you I don't want to be a Marine." Luffy said casually, taking a bite of his grilled meat.

"I see, Laurentina." Karp sighed, his expression suddenly turning incredibly ferocious. "I'm leaving the matter of giving him a good talking-to to you. Oh, and don't let Dadan get away with it either!!"

"Okay!" Laurentina tossed her hair, a kind smile spreading across her face.

Bang Bang Bang!

Laurentina let out a satisfied sigh and sat down to continue sipping her juice.

Ace and his two companions, like Buddhas, lowered their heads without any temper and focused on eating.

"Hey kid, why do you want to be the Pirate King so badly?" Laurentina picked up a small piece of dried fish and chewed it properly in small bites.

“Of course…” Luffy spat out a clean bone, picking his teeth, then suddenly became alert again, “You promise you won’t hit me?”

Unlike Ace, this naval woman in front of me really hurts when she hits someone!

Besides that stinky grandpa, only this person can really hurt me.

Laurentina chuckled at Wang Lufei's suspicious gaze.

I hope I don't give this kid psychological trauma.

"I won't hit you, just tell me."

"Hehe." He stood up, opened his arms, and laughed in a childish voice, "The Pirate King is the freest person on the sea, isn't that great?"

Laurentina did not deny it, but only raised her own questions.

"But our navy can also sail freely on the seas. Look at your grandfather, he's been all over the world in his warships. Don't you know that?"

"Ah...this is different, isn't it..."

Laurentina stumped Luffy with just one question.

Luffy lowered his head, his expression contorted, scratched his head, and said again:

"Hmm... In One Piece, you can freely invite crew members: musicians, cooks, snipers, navigators..."

"First of all, the Navy can do all of these things too. Why limit your allies to pirates? That's utter prejudice! Your worldview is too narrow."

Upon hearing this, Alice and the other marines nodded, realizing that the child's limited perspective had stifled her imagination.

"Hmm..." Luffy pondered for a moment, then clapped his hands as if suddenly realizing something, "Pirates can go on adventures on strange islands..."

"Wait until you understand the Navy before you talk! Besides stationing branches, many Navy personnel are responsible for patrolling the four seas. From the northernmost ice islands to the lava islands of the Grand Line, where can't the Navy go? Your thinking is naive."

“You can’t go to those waters of non-member states,” Ayn whispered in his ear, trying to expose him.

Laurentina glared at her, and the blue-haired girl obediently took a sip of milk, her expression calm and composed.

"Cough cough! Yes, I guess so." Luffy's forehead was covered in sweat, he pinched his chin and swayed from side to side, pouting as he said, "For example, the Marines aren't as cool as the pirates..."

"That's just self-delusion! How many people besides you think that way? By the way, speaking of One Piece, Roger once wiped out the entire army of a country just because a king insulted his crew. Is that cool?"

"Yeah!"

Luffy struggled and screamed, his shoulders twitching uncontrollably. He didn't know how to answer, and finally helplessly groaned as he made roasted meat.

Of course, from the other party's perspective, he could easily defeat them by simply replying that he didn't want to work for the Celestial Dragons, but he didn't yet understand this concept.

"That's enough, there's no need to make things so difficult for a child."

Alice stepped in to smooth things over, and the confrontation turned into a one-sided massacre by Specter.

"I haven't finished yet... Okay, shall we switch to Alice next?"

"Huh, I want one too?"

Luffy looked at Alice, who had a surprised expression on her face, and gave her a pleading look, his fingers still clutching his hair. Seeing how pitiful Luffy looked, Alice tried her best not to hurt him and managed to squeeze out a sentence.
