"Uncle Jun, Xia Jun, why did you attack Zoro and Sanji before?"

Luffy, with a bare bone stick in each hand and his cheeks bulging, asked after swallowing a mouthful of delicious barbecue.

"Let's eat first, and then we can talk on your ship. It's not convenient here."

Li Xia waved her hand, hinting at something.

It is undoubtedly stupid to talk about serious matters in a pub.

Although this tavern has been controlled by Bruno, this street in the town has also been targeted by Lucci, Kaku, and Kalifa, who have recovered from their injuries and have awakened. In addition, his Kagura Heart Eye is monitoring the entire town. But it is better to be safe than sorry.

Soon, everyone was full.

"Boss, is the barbecue ready?"

“It’s done, it’s done…”

"Well, 100,000 Baileys are on the table. Thank you for the treat, boss."

"Guest, move slowly."

The money naturally did not belong to the father and son, but was saved by Bruno and Lucci during their five years of working in the Water City.

These agents are really something. They don’t know how to spend the money they earn.

How can we boost the local economy without consumption?
Arrived on the Straw Hat Pirates' Golden Merry.

Li Xia let the boat sail into the sea first, and then chatted with Luffy and others:

"I attacked Zoro and Sanji before just to test the strength of your three main forces. My father and I have no ill will."

"Testing our strength?"

Zoro, who was swinging a heavy barbell, and Sanji, who had prepared afternoon tea and served it, both raised their eyebrows.

Chopper, the group's favorite ship doctor, blinked.

Usopp put down the barbecue in his hand.

Just now, he was on the Golden Merry, observing the town through a telescope, and happened to see something wrong in the town, as if Zoro and Sanji had a conflict with someone. He was worried that his companions would suffer, so he informed Luffy, Nami, Robin, and Chopper on the other side of the news as quickly as possible.

Every time they arrived at a town, he was usually the one who actively stayed behind to watch over the boat. Zoro would occasionally stay on the boat to catch up on some sun or to do some crazy exercises. The rest of the people were responsible for going ashore to purchase supplies or to go out and relax.

I just didn't expect that this time there would be such a conflict and misunderstanding, which turned out to be not a bad outcome.

"How strong are our partners? Pretty strong, right?"

Nami is still very confident in two of the three main forces of her team.

Li Xia nodded:

"Zoro and Sanji do have some strength."

He gave a very pertinent evaluation of the two.

"Just... a little strength?"

Nami's expression suddenly changed.

At this moment, even Robin, who was flipping through a book nearby, looked at him in surprise.

They had experienced the journey to Sky Island together, fought against Enelu and his four great priests, and had a better understanding of their companions. Although Zoro and Sanji could not compare with the great pirates in the New World, they were definitely not weak.

But the two of them are only as powerful as the young man in front of them said?

The key point is that neither Zoro nor Sanji refuted it immediately!

This is very wrong!
"They both do have some strength, but it's not much."

Li Xia said this while taking a sip of fragrant tea.

Although Zoro and Sanji looked unhappy, in the end, it was Sanji who put out the cigarette butt in the corner of his mouth and said, "We lost. Xia Jun and Jun uncle are really strong."

"How is it possible? You..."

Nami and Usopp were both in disbelief.

"What's the big deal about being defeated once? It's not like you've lost your life. Of course, if you continue to move forward with your current level of strength, or even arrogantly want to break into the new world in the second half of the Grand Line, then we can only wish you good luck in advance."

Li Xia smiled.

"New world?"

"It refers to the second half of the Grand Line. That's where all the pirates gather, and it's a chaotic place with all kinds of people. It's much more dangerous than the first half of the Grand Line where you and I are now. After all, the first half of the Grand Line is called 'Paradise'. Needless to say, what does paradise mean? But the second half of the Grand Line is called 'New World'!
Why is one called Paradise and the other called the New World? I think Miss Robin knows something about this."

"Xia Jun, are you saying that we are not strong enough to enter the new world?"

Luffy asked bluntly.

"Yeah. You're still a lot weaker than before."

Li Xia nodded.

"Luffy's bounty is over 100 million, isn't he even qualified enough to lead us in there?"

Usopp couldn't understand.

Those with high bounties are only worth a few billion. In other words, a few dozen Luffies are almost as good as the other party.

The difference between dozens of Luffys and one Luffy is only a few dozen times.

Not big.

Li Xia seemed to understand the thoughts of the great god Usopp, and put down the teacup with a smile:
"As far as I know, there are usually no less than three or five newcomers like Luffy with bounties of over 100 million every year. They all enter the New World with various purposes and ambitions. But very few of them can actually survive."

"what?"

Everyone was surprised.

"The New World is so small, and the pie is limited. For the sake of profit, pirates will inevitably fight for various reasons. Newcomers like you who want to develop in the New World will definitely conflict with the old generation. Newcomers often develop a sense of arrogance and contempt because their bounties in the navy system are similar to those of the old generation of pirates. Once you go to the New World with such a mentality, the result...tsk tsk..."

Fortunately, Luffy in the original novel woke up in time.

Otherwise, what happened to the brothers Kidd and Killer and Gekko Moriah is likely to happen to Luffy.

"What Xia Jun means is that the navy is using bounties to encourage new pirates to be killed?"

Sanji asked with a frown.

"He's obviously not very strong, but the bounty is quite high! Is this the Navy and the World Government using a knife to kill someone? You should make a judgment."

Li Xia did not give a definite answer, but several people present had their own answers. "Mr. Xia, is my 1 million bounty fake?"

Luffy looked at him with burning eyes.

"In the early years, a bounty of 70 or 80 million meant that the person probably mastered one of the three colors of Haki, or that the power of the Devil Fruit was very difficult to master. For example, Hancock, the Queen of the Nine Snake Island, the King of the Kingdom of Women, the leader of the Nine Snake Pirates, and one of the current Seven Warlords of the Sea.

The bounty is 8000 million Baileys.

Her bounty includes her multiple identities, her devil fruit abilities, and the fact that she has mastered the three types of domineering colors: domineering color, armed color, and observation color. She is a very powerful woman.

Another example is Crocodile, the natural Sand-Sand Fruit user. He challenged Whitebeard and broke a piece of his arm. He has great fame and not too weak strength, but he only has 8100 million berries. "

Li Xia paused for a moment, then mentioned a few more people:

"Of course, if your identity is very special, like Miss Robin; or if you are extremely vicious and create chaos and killing everywhere, like several other supernovas of today. Their bounties will also be very high.

But Luffy, have you ever done anything cruel and evil?
Why is there a bounty of 1 million?"

This question not only stumped the Straw Hat Boy in front of him, but also the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates. They all fell into deep thought.

Everyone is not stupid, so they naturally heard the hidden meaning.

"The Navy and even the World Government want to kill Luffy? Why?"

Sanji asked with a frown.

For some reason, he felt uneasy.

"Because of the rubber fruit and some hidden background of Luffy..."

"what?"

The Straw Hat Pirates, including Luffy himself, were all confused.

Just because of the rubber fruit?
Is there anything special about this devil fruit?
Also, what kind of background could Luffy have?
Even though he has a sworn brother who ate the Flame-Flame Fruit and is extremely powerful, this background shouldn't be a big deal, right?

"The Rubber Fruit is only one part of the 100-year history covered up by the Celestial Dragons, because it has another name, called [Animal-type Human-Human Fruit, Mythical Beast Species, Nika Form]! It is a fruit with the name of God!

The Celestial Dragons are very afraid that someone will be able to develop this fruit to the level of [awakening]!

Because once the fruit awakens, combined with your impressive domineering cultivation, you will have the strength to surpass the admirals of the navy, and you will gain unparalleled appeal. That power will pose a huge threat to their absolute rule for 800 years!"

He could understand why the Five Elders didn't directly deal with Luffy.

After all, once they get their hands on it, the rubber fruit, whose true information they have been hiding, will probably immediately arouse the curiosity of countless people.

By then, the name of the Nika Fruit will probably resound throughout the entire ocean.

Some things can't be hidden.

Therefore, the only option is to secretly increase the bounty for the Straw Hat.

For example, the Alabasta incident was not Luffy's fault at all, it must be Luffy's fault. The bounty directly increased from 3000 million to 1 million.

(The same principle applies to the Judicial Island incident. It is better to raise the price to 3 million.)
Is it reasonable?
Just look at the bounties of older pirates in their thirties or forties, such as Crocodile and Hancock, and you will understand.

The former has been to the New World, even challenged Whitebeard, and fought with a vicious man named Douglas Barrett. However, before becoming one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, he only had a bounty of 8100 million Baileys.

It can be seen how difficult it was to offer a reward of over 100 million at that time.

This also shows how severe inflation has been in recent years.

Everything is increasing rapidly, including the bounty, but wages remain the same.

"Nika fruit?"

Robin's eyes widened.

She seemed to have seen the name of this fruit in a book before, but she couldn't quite remember it. But she knew it was something special after hearing its origin.

"Behind Luffy's rubber fruit, the World Government is actually involved..."

Sanji and Nami looked towards their captain, their eyes revealing some worry.

The World Government is a behemoth, but they still have some points.

"What about Luffy's background?"

Usopp asked curiously.

"His grandfather is the navy hero Garp, his father is Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, his guide is Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, his sworn brother Ace is the captain of the second division under Whitebeard, also one of the Four Emperors, and his other sworn brother is the staff officer of the Revolutionary Army... Sabo!"

"puff…"

Usopp spurted.

"hiss…"

The others gasped in unison.

Whether it was the special Robin and Sanji, or the thick-skinned Usopp and Zoro, they all felt pain in their teeth. They couldn't help but twitch their mouth corners.

Until just now, they still thought that their idiotic captain had no background at all, or even the one with the least background in the entire group.

I didn't expect the result, it was hidden so deeply!
The backstage is so scary!

With this background, why do you still want to play the game of starting a sea struggle from scratch?

Wouldn’t it be better to just win without doing anything?
"Luffy, your grandfather, your father, your two brothers, and..."

Before Nami could finish her words, Luffy rushed to Li Xia without caring about anything else, grabbed Li Xia's hands and asked anxiously:

"Sabo, Sabo, Sabo, is he still alive?"

The young man's eyes turned red without him noticing.

My eyes were filled with tears.

"Yeah, still alive!"

"Thank you, thank you, woooo..."

The others didn't understand why Luffy was crying.

Maybe only Li Xia understands.

"Isn't it a good thing that he's still alive? You should be happy!"
