Pirate: I'm King Luffy!

Chapter 776 Small Garden

"Gu... Kuina saw us!"

"It should be fine, it's already been washed..." The girls whispered to each other.

The Golden House is a house Luffy temporarily built with gold. It is not equipped with a shower, but Nami, as a climate scientist, can summon rain clouds, so there is no shortage of water.

Uta blushed and picked up the unconscious Luffy and carried him on his shoulders.

"Good morning, Kuina~"

Kuina responded without asking further questions, which made Uta feel relieved.

Luffy was carried back to the bedroom to sleep. Vivi followed him step by step with a silly grin on her face. She lay on the bed and looked at Luffy closely, which made Uta extremely disgusted.

"Do you have to do this? It's the same no matter how you look at it."

"Isn't this the same as what happened to Uta back then?" Nami gulped down a bottle of water to replenish her water.

Then he hugged Uta and reached down to scratch her little mouth.

"Ah!" Uta shuddered suddenly, then arched onto the bed, making another mess.

Because Luffy fell into a coma and the other girls were exhausted, the departure was postponed for another day.

Bellmère felt very strange. Aren't these guys usually very energetic?

When asked, the girls just stammered and said they went for a massage.

"Come to think of it, I haven't been massaged by Luffy in a long time. I originally wanted to ask Luffy to give me a massage after seeing you guys, but it ended up being delayed until now..."

Bellmère pinched his shoulders and felt a little sore.

"Massage service?" Mrs. Charlie, who was eating a large egg tart, listened with some curiosity.

I've heard from the flying fish that Luffy's massage is amazing before...

Luffy slept until five in the afternoon before getting up.

"I slept so comfortably. I remember playing the King's Game... and then getting chopped down by Kuina's unsportsmanlike sneak attack!"

Kuina is so mean. Is she angry?

Luffy thought about having a good fight with Kuina next time.

The relationship with Kuina also needs to improve.

But the King's Game is really fun, I want to play it again next time...

Luffy yawned, and then saw a small head with aqua blue hair under the quilt.

Weiwei yawned drowsily, "Good morning, Luffy~"

"Good morning~" Luffy put his hand into his arms, and Vivi, who was originally sleepy, suddenly woke up, "Wahaha~ Asshole brother!"

Vivi crossed her arms and covered her waist to prevent Luffy from scratching her, "Hurry up and get up!"

She sat on the bed in a duck-like sitting position, with her long thighs and calves bent and folded together, looking very cute.

After teasing the princess for a while, Luffy came to his senses. "It's time to prepare for sailing. Before that, there are some things I need to tell you about."

Luffy went to his laboratory and took a data sheet of Compound No. 5 to the headquarters of Water Corporation.

Water Company has built a fifty-meter-high building in the capital. It is an extremely modern building, in sharp contrast to the surrounding low, twenty-meter-high six-story buildings.

The architect and designer was Giardino, and the painter was Mariannu.

"Boss, welcome to our new company building. I originally wanted to build it taller, perhaps a hundred meters, but considering the wax fruit is sensitive to high temperatures, I had to build it fifty meters. There's also a borderless swimming pool on the roof. Do you have any other instructions?"

Gardino, with the letter 3 on his head, wore a high-end-looking suit and a red tie, with a long face full of joyful smile.

These are the days I never dared to dream of, with millions of dollars flowing in every day.

This is much better than being a bounty hunter and fighting pirates.

Even being a pirate can’t make money as quickly as starting a company!

Luffy himself didn't live in this company, so he just looked around casually for a few seconds and then handed the documents in his hand to Gardino.

"This is..." Gardino flipped through the documents, revealing an unbelievable scene, his eyes almost popping out.

Temporary Compound No. 5: Eating it will grant you abilities for three minutes.

Directional Compound No. 5: Eating it will gain a directional devil fruit ability.

Random Compound No. 5: After taking it, you will gain the abilities you want based on the environment and desires.

"This... could it be that this is the latest weapon developed by the Naval Academy?"

Gardino's hands were shaking slightly as he held the document.

Isn't this just a low-end version of the devil fruit?
"The bounty hunters in Bounty Hunter Town should gradually return to Alabasta in the near future. You will be responsible for arranging their work and rewarding the bounty hunters with outstanding performance. I can even grant you the power of devil fruits."

Luffy said nonchalantly.

"When it comes to abilities, I have as much as you want."

"However, only those with excellent academic performance are worthy of the power of the devil fruit..."

"I understand~" Gardino smiled, but was secretly shocked. He didn't expect that the navy actually had some technology that could mass-produce devil fruit abilities.

Is this also the work of the mysterious naval scientist in Vegapunk?
"Regarding the factory, Princess Weiwei and I have a good relationship. I don't want to hear anything unpleasant. Everything must be done according to the rules."

Luffy recalled some of the methods of this era and gave Gardino specific instructions.

In this era, workers often don't get paid. Don't want to work? Then just die. There are plenty of alternatives anyway.

This was the case with the former Baroque Studio. A large number of bounty hunters were lured into Crocodile's secret criminal company by the lure of money, with the promise that they could become princes, generals, or even kings in the future...

Then after getting into the trap, I realized that if this company fails in its mission, you will be hunted down to death by the people in the organization, and there is no room for error.

There is not even a chance to exit.

too dark.

"I am a righteous naval hero. Vought Corporation is a biopharmaceutical company dedicated to protecting the environment and water resources. Utopia is a country where people can realize their dreams."

Luffy emphasized.

Dark means are indeed profitable without any investment, but fair means can last long.

"I understand. I will complete the task beautifully!" Gardino immediately understood what Luffy meant.

Heroes of justice are all careful about their reputation, so they must not have any stains on their bodies.

Then some dark means cannot be used.

"Boss, I wonder if people like us who have eaten devil fruits can still eat some of this Compound No. 5..." Gardino asked Luffy flatteringly.

Devil fruits are hard to come by, and there are also rumors that you can't eat too many of them.

Everyone wants to have more abilities.

"From the perspective of bloodline factors, if you eat too much, there are two possibilities. One is that you become strong and excrete the excess devil fruit from your body, and the other is that your genes collapse and you die."

"However...if you undergo surgical modification, it will indeed give you some additional abilities."

Superpowers are meant to tempt those without them, so Luffy naturally has to tempt these capable individuals in other ways as well. Becoming a cyborg would allow them to possess combined abilities, but it's unclear whether these people would be willing to accept it.

Luffy thought of Blackbeard again. He didn't know what his relationship with Rocks was. He could actually eat multiple devil fruits. He must have undergone body modification.

I really want to catch it and study it.

However, Blackbeard's fighting power should not be low. He was able to give Shanks a hard blow when he was young.

I guess he is also a domineering character.

After dealing with the matters of Water Company, Luffy returned to Mount Olympus and started planning the next itinerary with Nami.

"The Giant's Little Garden should be nearby, right? Let's go there first. I want to collect some ancient environmental data."

Luffy said.

Luffy wanted to go up and take a look at the giant's small garden when he first entered the Upside-Down Mountain, but considering his strength, he did not go to the small garden.

After all, there were prehistoric poisonous insects there, and I had no medical skills at the time.

"Little garden~" Nami found the coordinate pointer of the small garden and indicated OK.

"There must be dinosaurs up there. We'll be leaving soon. How about having dinosaurs for dinner?"

Nojigo recalled the small garden ecology that Robin had once introduced, and spoke excitedly.

"I support it!" Luffy has wanted to eat a dinosaur for a long time, and wondered if it tastes like chicken.

The itinerary was confirmed, the departure time was set, and Nami made an announcement before starting to work on her departure.

Go and say goodbye to your teacher Hareda.

"Is Vivi going to say goodbye to her father?" Luffy looked at the princess who was sitting on Karu's back and listening to their story.

"I... forget it. I'll call and tell my father before I go to bed tonight." Weiwei shook her head embarrassedly.

And Uta walked up to Luffy with his neck raised, "Thank me, Vivi was originally planning to get off the boat, but I persuaded her to stop!"

"Disembark?"

Luffy looked at Vivi curiously, but he also felt that it was normal for Vivi to have such plans. After all, she was so enthusiastic about doing political work.

"I originally planned to concentrate on reforming the country, but Uta said I could work remotely..." said Weiwei.

The most important thing is that my body still hurts a little, and I’m a little afraid that my father will notice.

Considering the matter of the Pirate Empress, Vivi finally decided to stay on board the ship.

"I still can't let go of my pervert brother!"

"Then let's continue playing the King's Game tonight?!" Luffy immediately suggested after being called that.

"Aren't you tired?" Weiwei blushed immediately.

"I'm still quite tired..."

Since it was the first time playing the King's Game, Luffy used all his tricks to make everyone have a great time several times.

"King's Game? Is that a card game? When did you play it? And you didn't even call me!"

When Tashigi heard the announcement of setting sail, she came over with her sword in hand to get ready for work, and heard them talking about a large poker game without calling her.

"It's too much! It's too much!"

"..."

Listening to Tashigi's complaints, Uta and Vivi didn't dare to speak.

If Tashigi knew that they played the King's Game in that style...

Shirahoshi said goodbye to King Cobra and received a letter from King Cobra to strengthen their relationship.

After flying for an hour, the Olympus left Alabasta and arrived at the giant's small garden.

The Giant's Little Garden is a large circular island with many volcanoes on it. Looking down from the air, the most eye-catching things are the two giant skulls.

"What a big skull! Is that the skull of a dinosaur, no, a sea king?" Tashigi looked at the bones below in amazement.

"Maybe it's the island goldfish!" said Uta.

There is a lake in the center of the island, and Nojigo has seen many dinosaurs drinking water by the lake.

It is an ideal landing place.

"Insect-attracting light!"

Luffy rolled out a bright ball of light and threw it out. The ball of light fell outside and hovered on a tree.

A large number of messy insects quickly emerged from the originally lush grass.

They rushed towards the ball of light frantically and soon surrounded the tree. The scene looked very scary.

“That’s why I don’t like pristine islands.”

Luffy looked at the tree with disdain as it turned into a bug nest.

The insect-attracting lights are ineffective against animals like dinosaurs, but the dazzling light source still attracts the attention of some dragons.

A plesiosaur curiously looked towards the dazzling little sun, completely confused as to why such a bright light source could appear at night.

Luffy and Monet prepared the equipment to take environmental samples.

Nami put on the flying shoes developed by Luffy and prepared to observe the prehistoric climate on the island.

Archaeologists also looked at the primitive jungle environment with great interest.

"Now it seems that this pristine island is not so pristine, with many shorter trees."

Her reference was Arpaio Island, a real island from four hundred years ago.

"It's not very convenient for me to move around on this island..." Bai Xing looked at this primitive island. The trees on it were about the same height as her, only about ten meters.

"After all, the forests in the Utopia have mutated too much... I wonder what the environment here is like..."

"Tashigi, Peacock, help me catch some dinosaurs~" Nojigo prepared kitchen utensils for processing large ingredients.

"If I get a few more, I can use them to make ancient species of animal-type devil fruits."

Luffy added.

Soon, Bellmère saw a shocking scene: two weak women were dragging a dinosaur that was dozens of times larger than them with their bare hands and dragging it over here.

Kalu carried Vivi for a walk by the lake, while Baixing played in the water in the center of the lake and then recorded the island.

This is a pristine island that no one wants, and it is very close to Alabasta, so it can be introduced to the fish people who come here.

"This is a prehistoric creature on land... It looks about the same size as a sea monster." Mrs. Charlie touched the horn of a Triceratops curiously.

"It looks like a rhinoceros with horns," said Shirahoshi.

"I guess its meat tastes like chicken. Scientists say dinosaurs are the ancestors of birds." Mrs. Charlie guessed.

Luffy and Monet investigated the island for a while and saw traces of giants living on the island, but they did not see the two giants. Perhaps they had been called back to Elbaf by the giant chef.
