Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

"What are these navy personnel doing here?"

"Why now of all times?" Nami recognized the person almost immediately.

He is a naval captain belonging to the 16th Division of the Navy, and this area is under his jurisdiction.

"Luffy, be careful," Nami said.

It was already difficult enough for Luffy to take on Arlong's crew by himself, and now the Marines have joined the fight.

"Leave it to me." Luffy stood on the ram's head, his fists clasped together, and he bent over, steam rising from his body.

Second gear, activated!

Chapter 22 This is the Captain's Order

"Colonel Rat, that seems to be a newly appeared pirate ship. Should we go and wipe it out?"

The lieutenant next to Colonel Rat looked at the ship that had been shelled.

"That's not our goal."

Colonel Rat glanced at the pirate ship not far away. Judging from the flag, it wasn't a familiar pirate ship; it was probably newly formed.

Ever since Gol D. Roger, the Pirate King, ushered in the Great Pirate Era, countless pirates have emerged on this sea every day.

That's why he climbed up the ladder at any cost.

In this world, the weak are destined to be bullied.

Colonel Rat usually doesn't come to Cocoyasi Village. If he does come, he'll take a small boat with his confidants directly to Dragon Paradise.

This time it's different. A lieutenant colonel from the Navy Headquarters was attacked by pirates in the East Blue, and it happened within the jurisdiction of Captain Rat. The only people Captain Rat could think of who would do something like this are Arlong's gang.

All twenty-odd small islands in the Konomie Islands are under Arlong's rule, and everyone is forced to pay a head tax, just like the Celestial Dragons' Heavenly Gold.

He was making a fortune, yet he still got himself into this huge trouble.

So Colonel Rat led his troops here to give the enemy a little warning.

As for the pirates over there, leave them to Arlong's crew. Their ability to withstand cannon fire suggests they're not ordinary pirates.

But as long as they live in this ocean, fishmen are indeed a rather noble race.

"Also, go and warn those lowly people in Cocoyasi Village to behave themselves and not make any moves."

Colonel Mouse is preparing to disembark.

Ta-da.

On the ship, Luffy landed steadily.

"I heard what happened just now. What do you plan to do to Nami's village?" Luffy stood on the Pole, looking at them expressionlessly.

"Who are you?!" Colonel Mouse exclaimed, his eyes wide.

"Monkey D. Luffy, I am a pirate."

Almost instantly, Luffy's figure vanished and appeared in front of Colonel Rat.

Pirates?

Could it be from that ship? But it should be several nautical miles away!

"It's a pirate ship!"

"Pirates and the Navy are fighting."

"Go find Ah Jian and Nuoqi Gao quickly."

"Wait, look, is that Nami on that ship?"

There were many villagers at the port who were stunned by what they saw.

With a thud, the massive naval warship shattered and collapsed before their very eyes.

Is this... is this human?

"Luffy?"

When the Going Merry docked, Luffy was still steaming. It was the second time Nami had seen him like this, especially with the shattered Marine warships and a large group of Marines whose fates were unknown behind him. She was stunned for a moment.

"The leader of the Marines said he wants to do something to your village." Luffy put on his straw hat and walked over to Nami, saying, "It seems to be related to Arlong's crew."

Upon hearing this, the villagers who had just walked over looked at each other in bewilderment.

They only suspected that the Navy and Aaron's gang were colluding, but they didn't have any concrete evidence.

"Nami!"

A girl with short blue hair pushed through the villagers and pounced on Nami.

"Are you alright? Why did you have to come back at this time?"

"It's a long story," Nami said. "I've decided I can't take it anymore and I'm going to drive Arlong and his gang out of the village!"

"But what if you attack the Navy?" Nojiko looked at the mess in front of her with considerable worry.

"We are pirates, and Nami is the navigator on my ship."

Luffy pulled Nami away from Nojiko, saying, "It's not uncommon for pirates to fight marines."

Upon hearing this, Nojiko finally turned her attention to Luffy.

"who are you?"

As if a toy had been snatched away, Nojiko quickly grabbed Nami's arm.

"Nami's captain." Luffy revealed a proud expression, raising his head and slightly raising the corners of his mouth.

“I’m Nami’s older sister,” Nojiko retorted, striking the same pose.

Then the two started pulling and tugging at each other.

"Is this something to brag about?" Nami clenched her fists, wondering if these two were oblivious to the current situation.

"You guys will regret this!"

"The same goes for those foolish villagers who protect pirates and oppose the Navy!"

"Just wait patiently for the Naval Headquarters' arrest warrant!"

On the warship, which was about to sink after being riddled with bullets in the middle by rubber machine guns, Colonel Rat, with a bruised and swollen face, completely lost his temper and started cursing.

Nami gave him a sullen look.

Nojiko's concern lies here: if she attacks the Navy, she will become a wanted pirate.

but.

"So noisy. Rubber... rocket launcher!"

Luffy stretched out his arms behind him and flew towards Colonel Rat's head.

Click.

Without Bucky the Joker's vitality, he should be dead beyond any doubt.

"Nami."

Luffy adjusted his hat and said, "Let's go find Arlong and his gang."

Nami nodded.

"I'm going to drive all these mermen out!"

Nami gripped the wooden stick tightly in her hand.

"Those fish-men shouldn't be here!"

"Nami, this matter needs to be discussed carefully. Let's wait for Ken to arrive."

"I've already decided on Nochigo."

Nojiko's face was full of complicated emotions as she watched Nami and Luffy walk towards Arlong Park.

but.....

Noki glanced at the naval warship sinking into the sea behind her; the man in the straw hat was incredibly strong!

Nami hates pirates the most. When Straw Hat Pirates grabbed her arm and declared that Nami was the navigator of his ship, Nami didn't resist at all.

There was a hint of helplessness mixed with doting in his eyes.

What is their relationship?

"With him around, Nami will be fine."

Maybe it won't be the Navy that saves Cocoyasi Village, but the pirates!

......

Ah Long Park is just around the corner.

"Nami, you stay here and watch over things." Luffy looked at Nami.

"I can help too."

"This is the captain's order!"

"......it is good."

Nami's mouth twitched slightly; she knew very well that if she went, she would only cause trouble.

"Just wait, it'll be over soon." Luffy grinned, took off his straw hat, and put it on Nami's head.

Immediately afterwards, Nami saw the gate symbolizing Arlong Park being kicked open.

The fish-man's arm strength is more than ten times that of a human, making him a true monster, but even he was unable to kick that door open with a single blow.

The nearby merfolk had just looked up when they realized the gate was looming over them.

Ordinary people would have been crushed long ago.
