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

The cat viper boss coughed lightly and put down the cat toy in his hand. Chopper had used that thing to amuse him and he almost forgot about his business.

"Since your goal is to deal with Big Mom first, Inuarashi and I will infiltrate Wano Country first, contact our comrades there, and wait for your arrival."

"Partner?" Luffy asked, puzzled.

Inuarashi walked over and said, "Yes, just like my partner Nekomamushi, we have been lying in wait for an opportunity. This is also like our partner, Raizo."

Luffy and his crew looked at the short man that Inuarashi had brought.

He was a man dressed in Wano Country attire, with a somewhat ugly face but resolute eyes.

"I am very sorry to have brought disaster to Zou."

Raizo knelt down and wept bitterly, begging forgiveness from the Mink Tribe in a very standard samurai apology. If Inuarashi hadn't stopped him, Raizo might have committed seppuku.

Knowing that Jack had caught up with them, Raizo originally wanted to come out and go with Jack, but he was tied up with iron chains by Nekomamushi and Inuarashi, preventing him from coming out and dying in vain.

Chapter 497: Except for Reiju, everyone else is fine.

Upon hearing Raizo's apology, the wounded cat viper laughed heartily, patting Raizo on the shoulder and saying, "Don't worry about it. Besides, we have no precedent for betraying our comrades."

Usopp couldn't help but ask, "Who is he?"

partner?

They weren't from the Mink Tribe, but their clothing did resemble that of Tengetsu.

Nekomamushi explained that Raizo was one of the Nine Red Scabbards, just like them, and was a comrade who followed Lord Oden. "Moreover, Raizo was also a ninja."

One sentence excited everyone.

Even Luffy couldn't help but glance at him slightly. Isn't being a ninja the legendary profession?

"That kind of ninja?!"

Usopp exclaimed excitedly, "Is it one of those jobs where you can create clones, become invisible, or disappear as smoke?!"

Chopper got excited too, "Do you have those shuriken that go 'whoosh whoosh'?"

"Substitution Jutsu? The kind where you get slashed and then turn into wood."

Sanji also sneaked over, "You have a Sexy Jutsu, right? If so, I'd like to try it out myself."

Raizo originally thought this would be a rather serious occasion, but he didn't expect it to turn out like this.

As for what Luffy and his crew mentioned, as a ninja he was naturally capable of doing it, so he said, "I'll make a fool of myself then."

"Clone Technique!"

Raizo formed hand seals, and with a bang, the smoke dissipated, revealing three identical Raizos before everyone. Then more and more appeared, and Usopp and Chopper hugged each other, tears streaming down their faces.

My dream has come true.

"Invisibility!"

Raizo formed another hand seal, and then vanished into thin air.

It looks like they've disappeared, but Luffy's Observation Haki can still pinpoint their location. It's far from being truly gone. If a ninja's invisibility technique could be compared to Observation Haki, then being a ninja would definitely be a very popular profession.

Substitution Technique!

Raizo formed another hand seal, and with a bang, the spot where he had been standing turned into a piece of wood, while he himself appeared ten meters away.

The ninja's fancy skills were displayed to the fullest.

The banquet suddenly became lively.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to see the Sexy Jutsu that Sanji was most looking forward to.

Inuarashi and Nekomamushi initially thought that since the Mink Tribe and the Straw Hats had formed an alliance, they should mobilize the entire tribe to fight Kaido, but Luffy waved his hand, indicating that it was not necessary.

The leader of the Nekomamushi clan hesitated, "Are you sure we don't need to send troops? Kaido has an army of tens of thousands under his command."

Luffy said, "Number of people doesn't matter; too many will just get in the way."

He grinned at the leader of the cat viper gang, "Don't you believe in our strength?"

Immediately afterwards, an invisible pressure erupted from his body, instantly sweeping across the entire Whale Forest.

Conqueror's Haki!

Black and red lightning exploded in the air, and the surrounding fur warriors felt their bodies swaying precariously, as if they might faint at any moment.

Nekomamushi and Duke Inuarashi were closest to each other and could feel the Conqueror's Haki. Even if it didn't make them faint, the waves of it still made them extremely uncomfortable.

It was even more painful than when I stood in front of Kaido back then.

Although they didn't want to admit it, their Conqueror's Haki was already far stronger than that of their lord, Lord Oden.

Judging from Luffy's appearance, he didn't even use his full strength.

They all knew very well that if a clash of Conqueror's Haki occurred, those with weak willpower would indeed be nothing more than a burden.

So they agreed.

On the one hand, many fur tribes have never been to sea, and on the other hand, as the straw hat also said...

The number of people is not important.

at the same time.

As news spread that the World Government was going to hold a world conference, people from all over the world began to flock to the Holy Land of Mary Geoise, including many who had close ties with the Straw Hat Pirates.

For example, on Drum Island.

Dalton, who became king with the support of the people, received a message from the World Government, requesting him to go to Mary Geoise to attend the World Conference.

"The World Conference."

Dalton looked at the invitation in his hand, his brows furrowing slightly. Every World Conference discusses a great many major events, and now the seas are turbulent, and no one knows what will happen to them.

But he was determined to fight for the rights of the people.

For example, the doctor on Drum Island, and the Heavenly Gold that has been causing hardship for the people!

Dr. Kureha, the witch, was holding a recent newspaper with news about the Straw Hat Pirates.

The top story, of course, is about Monkey D. Luffy, the new Emperor of the Sea with a bounty of 5.5 billion Berries, who has been causing a huge stir in the New World and almost sparked a second Impel Down war with the Navy.

Kureha couldn't help but laugh. "That brat is really a handful."

Dalton sighed, “I never imagined that the benefactor who once passed through our country would have grown to this extent.”

The bounty is only slightly lower than that of the former Pirate King.

Not to mention that the Pirate King is already from the previous era. If Luffy is given more time, he will definitely surpass Roger, usher in a new era, and become the undisputed Pirate King.

Kureha put down her newspaper. "It seems that it's not good for older people to always stay in one place. It's time for them to go out and see the world."

"Are you also going to Mary Geoise?" Dalton asked.

"of course."

Kureha grinned. "Anyway, I'm just killing time. Maybe I'll run into that idiot Chopper."

Dalton laughed too, "If the Straw Hat Pirates show up at the World Government, that would be terrible."

"Don't worry, that kid may be reckless, but he's not stupid enough to be that stupid."

Kureha picked up the bottle and took a swig. "And even if they do go, they might not be the ones who suffer."

Dalton: "..."

You really have a lot of faith in the Straw Hat Pirates.

If the Straw Hat crew isn't the unlucky one, then who is?

It can only be the world government.

......

Alabasta.

King Cobra also received an invitation to travel to Mary Geoise, intending to go to the World Government.

However, he seemed a bit preoccupied. With Bell and Jakka, both Zoan Devil Fruit users, on either side of him, his strength was sufficient to handle any pirate attacks along the way.

Icarum looked at Princess Vivi's bounty poster and couldn't help but laugh and cry. "She didn't listen to anything I said before, and now Princess Vivi's bounty has reached a billion."

The fast-running dog next to her came over to look at Weiwei's bounty and barked twice to express its longing for its master.

Cobra laughed and said, "Nowhere is safer than by the side of the Sea Emperor."

Ikaram couldn't help but ask, "Is it dangerous in our country too?"

Cobra's expression was slightly somber, but he quickly shook his head with a smile.

He had something on his mind.

We need to ask them about their relationship with the World Government at this World Conference.

That's why he let Vivi leave with Luffy in the first place.

Perhaps the world government is more dangerous than pirates.

“Your Majesty, are you really not going to let Princess Vivi return?” Icarum asked.

Cobra gave a wry smile. "Let her come back? That child is too old for me to control."

Moreover, that man named Luffy did indeed have the ability to make Vivi willingly follow him, and as a father, he didn't want to break up his daughter's happiness.

As king, he also hoped that Alabasta could have a reliable ally.

The Straw Hat Pirates are undoubtedly the best choice.

......

Fishman Island.

King Neptune and his three sons also planned to go to the World Conference to fight for the rights of Fish-Man Island.

"It's so good that my identity wasn't discovered."
