I'm a big pirate, and you said I just went out to sea?

Chapter 203 Munger, Crane, and Shaki

On Sabaody Archipelago Island 49, two riders on bubble bikes speed along the coastline, the bags on the back of their bikes slightly bulging as if they were carrying something.

"Wow, I've found a great deal!"

"It's all King White Monge's fault. If it weren't for King White Monge, how could we have fallen to such a state?"

"Hey, keep your voice down, are you out of your mind?"

"."

The mohawk-wearing rider looked gloomy whenever he mentioned Monger. Ever since Monger debuted, every time he came to the Sabaody Archipelago, he would cause a huge uproar.

The human trafficking industry in the entire Sabaody Archipelago has been cracked down on by Monger a total of five times, and with this latest crackdown, that makes it six.

At the beginning, Mongo was very weak, and the strength of his crew members was also average. Therefore, in order to fight against the trafficking gang that had help in both the legitimate and criminal worlds in the Sabaody Archipelago, they could only be cautious.

So most people didn't know at first that when Munger first came to the Sabaody Archipelago fifty years ago, he freed hundreds of slaves.

Among them was Mongo's later right-hand man, his old crew member, the cunning Roya.

The second time was the one that led Monger to become a pirate.

With the help of the World Government, Carmelo successfully won the trust of the giants of Elbaf and established the House of the Lambs in Elbaf.

However, the original Lamb House was actually a place where the CP organization trained new people. They stole promising new people through human traffickers and then handed them over to Carmel for training.

Finally, he will be whitewashed and join the world government.

With the help of information provided by Carmelo, Monger led his crew to successfully disrupt this human trafficking supply chain.

From then on, Mongo became a pirate and continued to disrupt this supply chain for decades, eventually forcing the CP organization to abandon its use of the Lamb House to train new recruits.

The White Wolf Pirates thus became a thorn in the side of the CP organization.

The third time was when Hernandez Solan's leg was broken.

The fourth time was when she saved Kokoro.

The fifth time was the last time, when Monger, together with Rona and Harald, stormed into Mary Geoise and faced Im directly for the first time.

Including this time.

Monger thwarted the human trafficking industry in the Sabaody Archipelago six times!
It can be destroyed repeatedly.

Each time, the human trafficking industry here is rebuilt at an unimaginable speed, and each time it becomes more prosperous than the last.

That's why the two human traffickers dared to continue their old ways even though they knew Monger was in the Sabaody Archipelago.

In their view, Monger would at most stay in the Sabaody Archipelago for a few days.

Human trafficking is now prohibited.

Why not just wait for Monger to leave?

In any case, high-quality goods are in short supply, and those nobles have plenty of money to buy and sell slaves. If a Celestial Dragon takes a liking to a slave, the slave can be sold for an astronomical price.

"I thought those women from the Kingdom of Women would be terrifying, but we just knocked them out and took them away without them even noticing!"

"Haha, do you think there haven't been a few women bought and sold in that place over the years? Forcibly taking them is a last resort. The best way is to make them fall in love with you, and then they'll come to you on their own!"

"Hahaha~"

Thinking of the little girl they had abducted, the two riders beamed with delight, as if they could already imagine the scene after they sold her for an exorbitant price.

Then we can gamble to our hearts' content!
Unbeknownst to the two, the bag behind the bubble car suddenly moved.

A pair of eyes slowly opened.

"very noisy!"

Wearing a hat and sunglasses, Monger sipped a bubble juice, a specialty of the Sabaody Archipelago, while picking at his ear.

"It seems that having too much Observation Haki isn't a good thing either."

"After all, everyone's Observation Haki is different."

Monger's Observation Haki was initially the same as ordinary Observation Haki, except that it could detect nearby killing intent and dodge enemy attacks.

However, as Monger's strength increased, the range of his Observation Haki also expanded. Eventually, after he gained the ability to hear the voices of all things, he was able to hear all the sounds within his range.

Even a mosquito buzzing in your ear is noisy enough.

There were far more than 100,000 mosquitoes in Munger's swarm, so after deliberately filtering out some of them, all that could be heard were hostile voices directed at him.

Most of the comments were insults directed at him.

What is White King Mongo doing here in the Sabaody Archipelago? White King Mongo deserves to die! When will the World Government come and take White King Mongo away, etc.?

Then, following the voices that were cursing him, Munger found the people who were cursing him and successfully destroyed several human trafficking dens.

Even now, there are still people who criticize him.

But most of them came from the Navy, some greenhorn new recruits.

On the contrary, the seasoned veterans didn't dare to speak at all.

"Captain, do you have any useful fruits left? I feel like my strength has reached a bottleneck, and ordinary training probably won't make me any stronger."

Across from Monger, a girl with a dark blue ponytail was also wearing a large sun hat and large sunglasses that covered most of her face.

She paired it with a white shirt with a knotted hem and a pair of tight-fitting jeans, which perfectly accentuated the girl's slender figure.

Even with only a glimpse of her profile visible behind sunglasses, it's still clear she's a beauty.

At any other time, someone might have already approached him.

but now.

"I heard that the White King Mengge's woman is also on this island."

"Wouldn't you get beaten to death for randomly hitting on someone?"

"Don't underestimate the women of White King Munger. Although they are beautiful, they are all notorious pirates and are not people we can afford to mess with!"

"."

So a group of thugs wisely refrained from bothering Munger and Crane.

Munger pulled down his sunglasses and glanced at the crane; the corner of his mouth twitched.

"No, you're just going to reach out and ask me for it like that?"

"otherwise?"

He raised an eyebrow.

"My good captain, won't you even reward your subordinates with a single Devil Fruit?"

"That's not it."

Monger leaned back in his chair and shrugged.

"I do have a good fruit here, but I'm not sure if it's suitable for you. I think you probably don't like being in the public eye."

"A special fruit?"

Upon hearing Monger's words, Crane's eyes flickered, and finally he shook his head.

"That's it."

She has been a member of the White Wolf Pirates for five years. Although she only recently swore allegiance, Monger has not stopped guiding her because of her identity as a spy, as if he was certain that she would eventually choose the White Wolf Pirates.

Therefore, she is now proficient in using both types of Haki and the Six Powers. If she can master advanced applications of Armament Haki or Observation Haki, she will not be easily defeated when facing top-tier opponents.

However, this is not easy.

Although Monger's guidance to his crew mainly focused on Haki, he wouldn't force them to stubbornly struggle at those bottlenecks once they had reached their limits in both Haki and physical skills.

Therefore, among Monger's official crew members, only Rocks, Linlin, Zephyr, and she did not eat Devil Fruits. Even Newgate, who was among the most talented, ate a Tremor-Tremor Fruit.

Crane believed that he was quite talented, but there was still a gap between him and the other exceptionally talented crew members.

"I'll keep an eye out for you."

Even if Tsuru hadn't said anything, Munger was already considering finding a suitable fruit for her, something that would at least be better than the one she originally ate.
Monger didn't know if Tsuru had ever reached the level of an admiral in the original timeline, but even if she hadn't, she should have been close.

Therefore, a good fruit might help the crane cross that crucial threshold.

".Thanks."

"Haha, I thought you had already assumed your identity."

Monger burst into laughter.

“A young girl should act like a young girl. I would prefer you to stay by my side willingly, not for some so-called belief.” Munger was almost eighty years old, so he rarely fantasized about sweet love, and he certainly didn’t take it for granted that just because he had some ability and was good-looking, women should naturally like him.

Appearance is one thing, ability is another, and the little things in life are equally important.

Crane is still learning how to get along with him.

But Munger believes she just needs to be herself.

"He, why do you think I saved you back then?"

"Captain, you knew I was a spy from the beginning?"

Crane gave an irrelevant answer. She knew that Munger had discovered that she was a naval spy a long time ago, but she didn't know exactly when he had found out.

"Of course, don't forget, I know Lorna. Lorna saw you at the Navy's Soldier Academy. Although she's old, she doesn't have dementia yet."

"If Senior Rona hears you say that, she'll make sure you can't get out of bed for a whole day."

"Is this some kind of dirty joke?"

Monger grinned. He actually hoped that Rona could play with him all day long, after all, Rona was the only opponent who could play a full best-of-five series with him.

Even Liprit could only manage a best-of-three series against him.

The female general's waist strength was so impressive that even Munger found it fascinating.

"Just let it be."

Crane was certain that Monger hadn't told her the truth. Although Rona might have recognized her, Rona wasn't with Monger at the time.

However, the answer to this question is no longer important.

"why?"

Crane returned to the question that Monger had raised at the very beginning.

"Isn't it because they want to see me, a female marine, make a fool of myself?"

Thinking he had hidden himself well, he ended up realizing that every move he made was exactly what Monger had predicted. In the end, he was even persuaded by Monger to betray his identity as a Marine and become a pirate.

"Haha, of course not."

Monger shook his head, smiled, and pointed at the crane. Beneath his handsome face, his deep gaze seemed capable of swallowing the crane whole.

"Of course it's because I wanted you by my side from the very beginning!"

Monger's blunt words made Crane's heart skip a beat.

But she quickly realized that when she first met Monger five years ago, she was just a female slave. What did she have that attracted Monger besides her looks?
"So, the captain was planning to attack me five years ago?"

He looked at Munger with an expression of utter contempt.

Five years ago, I wasn't even an adult yet!

"Pfft hahahaha~"

Seeing the crane's expression, Munger laughed so hard he slapped the table.

"Why do you think I would be interested in a little girl?"

"Aren't you interested?"

"Ahem, okay, I admit I'm interested, but only a little bit."

Monger gestured with his thumb and forefinger.

"But compared to your looks, I value you more as a person, I value your intelligence more, and I believe that you can help me make the White Wolf Pirates better."

Five years ago, when Monger was in the Sabaody Archipelago, he said that Tsuru was the future brains of the White Wolf Pirates.

"Crane, I believe in you!"

Monger looked at the crane and said with a smile.

Sitting opposite Crane was the strongest man in the world. Crane knew that although Monger sometimes liked to joke, he would never joke when he was serious.

Now, he says that the reason he values ​​her is not because of her looks.

It's because of her as a person!

Although there were no outsiders around, He still felt as if his face was on fire after hearing what Mengge said.

He could only pull his wide sun hat down so that Monge wouldn't see his current expression.

So cunning!

Crane finally understood why Munger was the most vicious criminal in the world.

Not only do they deceive others.

They even lied to their own crew!

That's right.

Monger must be lying to her, just trying to get her to work harder for the fleet.

But why are the corners of her mouth turned up?

Fortunately, at this moment, Munger seemed to have discovered something.

"what?"

Sitting in the open-air restaurant, sipping drinks and enjoying the company of the beautiful female crew members, Munger used his Observation Haki to cover the entire Sabaody Archipelago, just in case.

Suddenly, Monger raised an eyebrow.

"Looks like some people don't take me seriously!"

Monger's Observation Haki allowed him to hear malicious voices directed at him, naturally the moment the two human traffickers began to complain.

Monger heard it.

"He, I'll leave for a bit. We can't just stand by and do nothing about this."

Crane was still calming herself down, but when she looked up, Monge was nowhere to be seen.

"captain?"

Shakky is a young Amazonian lily warrior.

How young?

Twelve years old.

This was her first time going out to sea.

So even though she was wary of the unfamiliar island, the thought of the mature female warrior beside her made Shakky walk a little further away.

Then, she was knocked unconscious.

When she woke up, it was pitch black all around her, and the room was shaking constantly. Even if she was stupid, she would understand.

He was captured by human traffickers!
Twelve-year-old Xiaqi was barely holding back her tears.

The first mate had said that when we first set sail.

The outside world is dangerous; be careful, or you'll be kidnapped by bad guys.

Why didn't she take it to heart?
"Someone, please save me!"

The thought had barely formed in her mind when Xia Qi tried to suppress it.

She is an Amazonian warrior, how can she rely on others?
But, but...
The little girl squatted on the swaying bundle, her lips pouting, looking extremely aggrieved.

And just then.

"Hey, little girl, have you gotten separated from your family?"

"You can't just get into a stranger's car."

"What if he's a bad guy?"

The bag was suddenly opened, and the pitch-black world instantly became bright.

A man lifted her up.

"Okay, everything's fine now."

The middle-aged man with white hair carried her in one hand and held the hilt of the knife at his waist with the other, looking ahead with a spirited air.

"However, something's about to happen to someone!"
