Chapter 719: The Straw Hat Crew's Determination
Chapter 719: The Straw Hat Crew's Determination
“Wuwuwuwu…ah…”
(??∧??)
Luffy looked at the newspaper in his hand with tears in his eyes, and suddenly felt that the barbecue in his mouth no longer tasted good.
Nami came over and asked curiously, "Luffy, what happened?"
Hearing this, Luffy cried to Nami like a child whose toy was taken away.
"The sea... One Piece... The great secret treasure... is gone... All of it is gone!"
Luffy was crying bitterly. As a man who aspired to become the Pirate King, the emergence of the new Pirate King was undoubtedly a huge blow to him.
Nami frowned and took the newspaper from Luffy's hand. She glanced through it and immediately understood why Luffy was sad.
He really didn't know how to comfort her.
At this time, other people also rushed over, and soon everyone learned the news of the new Pirate King.
"Don't worry, Luffy, as long as you beat the Pirate King away, you will be the new Pirate King!" Zoro comforted.
Luffy's eyes lit up.
"Oh!"
A big bump appeared on Zoro's head.
Nami pointed at Zoro's head and yelled, "Are you an idiot? Look at this bounty!"
Nami said as she put a newest bounty poster on Zoro's head.
When Zoro picked up the bounty order and looked at it, his pupils immediately shrank.
"Bloodstained Sword Emperor Adrian Zell, King of the Kingdom of Adri, great swordsman, possessor of the three-color domineering aura... A bounty of six billion berries, dead or alive!"
"Six billion Baileys!"
You have to know that when Roger became the Pirate King, he only offered a bounty of 5.4 billion berries, and the bounty of 6 billion berries was already discontinued!
In addition to the support from the Kingdom of Adrian, Zell's strength is also unquestionable.
Not to mention Kuzan and Mona, who have the highest bounties among them, Luffy's bounty is only 30 million.
"What? Six billion Baileys!"
Upon hearing this, Usopp snatched the bounty order and looked at the densely packed zeros on it, his eyes widened.
"Luffy, I have a disease that prevents me from going to the Kingdom of Adrian. How about we not go and cause trouble for the Bloody Sword Emperor Zell?" Usopp looked at Luffy eagerly.
"What? Someone's planning on causing trouble for Zel?"
As soon as Mona came back, she heard this explosive news and was stunned. Whose general was this?
"But... Pirate King!" Luffy was still unwilling.
"Luffy, are you planning to challenge the Bloody Sword Emperor Zel?" Mona asked.
Luffy hesitated for a moment, but still nodded and said, "Yes, I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King. Now someone has become the Pirate King first. If I want to become the Pirate King, I must defeat him!"
There was a glint of fire in Luffy's eyes, and his fighting spirit was high.
Seeing this, Mona was speechless.
Even though they have been together for a few months, she still can't stand Luffy's nervelessness. You, a little Karami with a bounty of 30 million, actually want to challenge a terrifying strong man with a bounty of 6 billion.
After all, they had been together for so long, so Mona kindly reminded him, "Luffy, do you remember the swordsman who defeated you on Fever Island?"
Hearing this, Luffy's eyes turned serious and he clenched his fists.
Not only him, but also Zoro, Sanji and others. There is no way, it is too humiliating!
"The swordsman's name is Adrien Rorschach, and he's Zell's eldest son."
"What?" Everyone widened their eyes.
Mona continued, "You can't even beat Rorschach, and you still want to challenge Zell? This is simply wishful thinking!"
Everyone felt very humiliated, but they could not refute it.
"Zel has more than just Rorschach. There are thirty-two of them, and nearly ten of them are as powerful as Rorschach!"
After these words were spoken, everyone became listless, like a deflated ball.
Seeing that no one spoke, Mona continued, "Luffy, I'm here to say goodbye to everyone. I may be away for a while. If the Straw Hat Pirates are still there by then, I will bring Robin back to see them."
"What, Miss Mona is leaving too?" Sanji looked reluctant.
Nami immediately hugged Mona's arm, holding it with her broad heart.
"Mona, why are you leaving so suddenly? We didn't say we were really going to challenge the Bloodstained Sword Emperor."
Mona shook her head.
"That's not the reason. I'm leaving because war is about to break out in my hometown and I have to go back."
"Then we can go with you! We are companions!" Luffy shouted.
Mona looked at him deeply. It must be said that Luffy really has a special charm. Any word he says can touch people's hearts.
However, Mona refused.
"No."
"Why?" Luffy asked.
Mona hesitated for a moment and uttered a few words: "Too weak."
Luffy was struck by lightning. Mona continued, "My hometown is the Kingdom of Adrien. In the upcoming war, even pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million will only be cannon fodder."
"The Kingdom of Adrian?" Zoro frowned.
"My full name is Adrien Monaghan, Rorschach is my brother, and Zell is my father."
Everyone was shocked by the news, but now everyone was shrouded in the sad atmosphere of Mona's departure and did not care too much.
Mona had made it very clear that the war she was going back to participate in was too dangerous, and the Straw Hat Pirates were too weak and not qualified to participate in such a war.
"Even if I'm just cannon fodder, I'll fight with you!" Luffy suddenly said firmly.
Mona looked at him, her red eyes seemed to have the ability to see into people's hearts. However, Luffy did not waver, and her eyes were full of determination.
"Just because we were on a boat together for a few months, you're going to risk your life for me?"
"We are companions!"
"You... you really are a person who uses one sentence to death."
At this moment, Mona suddenly felt the softness of the arms wrapped around her squeeze, and Nami looked at her seriously.
"We are companions!"
Mona was distracted, opened her mouth but didn't say anything.
"Ms. Mona, we are companions. No matter how dangerous the war is, I will stand firmly by your side." Sanji immediately expressed his opinion.
"Me too!" Chopper jumped up and echoed.
"We're companions, that sounds so...super!"
Usopp looked around at everyone, puffed out his chest and said, "As a marine warrior, of course I have to protect you!"
Zoro's mouth curled up slightly, grinning, "Even pirates with bounties exceeding 100 million can only be cannon fodder? It's really exciting!"
Feeling the enthusiasm of the crowd, Mona suddenly felt very warm, this feeling was just like when she was getting along with other brothers and sisters of the Adrian family.
"Okay, in that case, let's go together. The war can't start right away. What you're about to face is devilish training. I hope you can hold on!"
