The Reincarnation Journey of an Minecraft Player
Chapter 10 Public Outrage
The fact that he had traveled to Arlinga interrupted Luffy's train of thought. It wasn't until after he finished eating and went shopping for supplies with Nami that he remembered.
He initially chose to dock near this island in order to find companions and to acquire a ship, a real pirate ship.
The Straw Hat crew's current vessel is still a small boat, which is simply not enough to support their adventure to the Grand Line.
Just as Gao Ge finished arranging everything and was about to find an opportunity to gather the villagers, he happened to run into these few people.
Besides Luffy and his crew, there were three short, radish-headed kids.
"Ah! Gao Ge, you're here too. I was just looking for you."
Luffy, hands on his hips, looking full of energy, shouted:
"Let's go to the mansion and borrow a boat!"
"...?"
Meeting Gao Ge's questioning gaze, Nami covered her forehead with one hand and said helplessly:
"Usopp told us about Kaya on the island, so this guy came straight over."
Luffy's thought process is always peculiar; he never considers why someone would lend him a large ship for no reason.
Gao Ge also realized that there did seem to be such a scene in the original work. Immediately after that, Usopp was scolded and ran away, and happened to stumble upon Kuro and the Black Cat Pirates' conspiracy.
Wow, the plot connects so quickly! Does that mean Kaya's Den Den Mushi was all for nothing?
They're heading straight to the coast!
"Wait a minute about borrowing a boat. Follow me and I guarantee you'll be able to borrow one."
Gao Ge looked confident and then quickly ran towards the village.
Luffy looked at Gao Ge with confusion, not knowing why, but his body had already started to follow Gao Ge's pace on its own.
Nami glanced at Zoro, who also looked helpless, and sighed.
"Is this guy going to join the crew too? Luffy alone is enough to handle this random guy!"
Gathering a crowd is never an easy task, but Gao Ge had already come up with a way that no one in the village would refuse.
Under the strange gazes of the Straw Hat crew, he first ran into a shop and said something to the shopkeeper, then hurriedly ran out carrying a large megaphone.
"They've given out eggs!!!!"
One stone stirs up a thousand waves!
The entire village seemed to fall silent for a moment.
"Sirobu Village Store is having a big giveaway! Every villager can collect 20 eggs at the village entrance. First come, first served, while supplies last!!!"
"oh--!!!"
Cheers erupted instantly, and then a huge crowd surged out from all directions.
Usopp did indeed frequently lie throughout the village in his hoarse voice, which made the villagers resistant to him.
But what he shouted was "The pirates are coming!" and he kept shouting that for more than ten years, so the villagers had long since developed a resistance to it.
However, the idea of giving away eggs would be something that would attract a lot of people to fight over, even in the 21st century, let alone in a medieval world.
The matter of giving away eggs is indeed true. He has already negotiated with the shop owner, and he will not refuse Gao Ge's request in the slightest.
This is a super-rich person comparable to Koya!
"Don't push or shove, there's enough for everyone!"
The shop assistants were distributing eggs, and several young people, under Gao Ge's direction, were setting up a huge screen frame.
Luffy squatted to one side, holding a bag of eggs in his hand, and said with a puzzled look,
"Hey Gaoge, do you really think we can borrow a boat like this?"
Gao Ge clenched his left fist and pounded his chest. "Damn it, watch my moves!"
The screen was set up quickly, and Gao Ge connected the video Den Den Mushi. Soon, images of the island's surroundings appeared on the screen.
A dozen or so equally sized squares are arranged together, giving it a feel of a monitoring room screen.
"Wow, it's a video den Den Mushi! Are they showing a movie today? I've never heard of that before!"
"Not only do we get eggs, but we also get to watch a movie? This is amazing!"
"Wait, this looks like footage from around our island?"
Most of the people who received the eggs did not leave immediately, especially after the screen was set up, they all spontaneously formed a circle.
Gao Ge stared at the projections, waiting for the scene he wanted to see. Soon, a familiar long-nosed figure appeared on the screen.
Usopp!
Gao Ge's eyes lit up. He turned off the images of the other alternative locations and zoomed in on the three images that Usopp had deployed.
A murmur of disapproval rippled through the crowd.
"What? It's a lying cloth! What's so interesting about it!"
"Wait a minute, look! Isn't that Miss Kaya's butler, Krabatel?"
"Yes, indeed, the butler is with a strange person!"
The video den Den Mushi has a sound recording function.
People can not only see Usopp lying on the cliff top observing from the sea, but also hear Kuro talking below the cliff.
The butler, who was always so polite in everyone's eyes, now had a gloomy expression, his hands in his pockets, and his deep voice came through the Den Den Mushi at the village entrance.
"Hey, Zango! I told you not to do anything attention-grabbing in this village..."
"Just kidding, I don't blame anyone at all, and it won't attract any attention!"
The speaker was a strange man wearing heart-shaped sunglasses.
"Captain Crook, don't you trust me to do things?"
"Don't call me by that name!"
Kroh let out a low growl, which made Zango tremble. He quickly composed himself and continued,
"Seriously, is the plan going well?"
"Yes, no problem."
Zango's back was to the camera, so his expression was obscured, but his voice was clear and distinct.
"We can launch the assassination plan against the young lady at any time."
The crowd at the village entrance erupted in chaos. Unlike the earlier excitement of scrambling for eggs, their voices shifted from excitement to shock.
They simply couldn't associate the respected butler with the word assassination.
"...Is this a lie? Is this really the butler?"
"With Usopp around, it can't be another lie, can it?"
Gao Ge held Luffy back, who was about to jump, and made a shushing gesture.
"Don't worry, Usopp will be safe. We can just wait here for the butler to return. This is the only way to Kaya's house."
Luffy suppressed his emotions; even with his not-so-bright brain, he could figure out how to borrow the ship that Gao Ge had mentioned.
"However, this isn't really a good idea..."
"I never intended to take advantage of his kindness; I simply wanted to teach this guy a lesson. The boat was just a side thing."
Gao Ge waved his hand. In just a short while, Zango and Klo had revealed his entire plan.
A notorious pirate who faked his death to escape, he plotted for three years to seize his family's wealth, go ashore, launder his money, and become a rich man. He has meticulously planned until now, leaving only himself as the sole heir of the Kaya family.
The villagers' emotions have been stirred up, and they are indignant!
