One Piece: Starting with Sharingan, First Mate Uchiha
Chapter 308 The Pirates' Resolve and the "Incidental" Suppression
Faced with the deathly silence where everyone in the room suddenly froze.
Luffy extended a finger and casually picked his nose.
Then, with an air of self-righteousness, he gave that person a reason that was completely irrefutable:
"Because it sounds like an 'alliance' is about obeying your orders in everything and following your meticulous plans step by step."
Luffy casually flicked his nose-picking fingers on his clothes, puffed out his chest, and declared loudly with utterly pure eyes:
"I am Monkey D. Luffy! The man who will become the Pirate King!"
"I want to be the freest person on this vast ocean, and I refuse to take orders from anyone else!"
Upon hearing this bizarre reason that perfectly fits Luffy's simple-minded logic, the Straw Hat crew, who had initially thought their captain had some profound plan, all sighed helplessly.
Then, everyone looked at each other and couldn't help but laugh out loud at their captain's self-righteous appearance.
This is the captain they were willing to follow to the death.
Whether facing the Four Emperors or the Navy Admirals, he always puts that unrestrained "freedom" first.
Just as Law was getting a headache from Luffy's completely unpredictable thought process...
Viktor, who had been standing at the back of the crowd, suddenly stepped forward.
He walked up to Luo, a meaningful smile slowly curving his lips, and casually uttered a sentence:
"You want to kill Doflamingo, don't you?"
These words struck Luo like a thunderbolt.
Luo's pupils suddenly contracted sharply, and an undisguised shock appeared on his usually calm, icy face.
He stared intently at Viktor, his eyes wide open.
His ultimate revenge target, which he had kept hidden in his heart for more than a decade and had not even told a word to his most trusted crew members of the Heart Pirates, was revealed by this man in front of him with a single, casual remark.
Seeing Ronaldo's instantly wary and alert demeanor, as if facing a formidable enemy.
Viktor sighed with a smile and casually shrugged:
"Sorry, sorry, don't be so nervous, I was just guessing."
"But judging from your surprised reaction, it seems I was absolutely right."
"In that case, tell us your real plan."
"Our captain doesn't like being ordered around, but if you can give a reasonable explanation, you might be able to convince him."
Luffy, standing to the side, listened to their conversation with a face full of question marks.
He scratched his straw hat and, quite oblivious to the situation, interrupted:
"Dover... what brother?"
"Who is that?"
However, everyone present was focused on the confrontation between Law and Victor, and no one paid any attention to Luffy's question.
Suppressed by Victor's invisible yet abyss-like powerful aura, Law broke out in a cold sweat.
He took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.
He finally understood that in front of this group of people, any pretense or scheming was superfluous.
He set aside his arrogance and revealed his long-planned, insane scheme:
"Currently, Caesar Clown, who is on this island, is the only scientist in the world who can create something called 'SAD'—the core ingredient of artificial Devil Fruits."
"My plan is... to kidnap Caesar and cut off this only source of raw materials."
"Then they used him as leverage to coerce Doflamingo into immediately giving up his status as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"Then, taking advantage of the chaos, we infiltrated Dressrosa and destroyed the underground factory that produced the 'SMILE' artificial fruit in one fell swoop."
"Doflamingo is the biggest intermediary in the underworld. He has been supplying these Devil Fruits to the Yonko 'Kaido of the Beasts' to build his Devil Fruit army."
"Once the Devil Fruit is gone, Doflamingo will no longer be able to deliver the goods to Kaido on time."
"Faced with the breach of contract, the enraged Kaido will absolutely not listen to his explanations and will definitely tear Doflamingo apart with his own hands!"
After hearing this intricately linked plan, the Straw Hat crew members had various expressions.
Some were amazed by Law's cunning, while others felt uneasy about his involvement in the Four Emperors' conspiracy.
Robin rested his chin on his hand, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes.
She nodded slightly, her movements graceful, and succinctly summarized:
"I see. Cut off the chain of interests and let the monsters fight the monsters. Use someone else to do the dirty work."
Just as everyone was seriously considering the feasibility of the plan, Luffy, who had been left out in the cold for several minutes, finally lost his temper.
He was so angry that his face turned red, like a cat whose tail had been stepped on. He stood there waving his arms wildly and yelling at the crowd:
"Hey! I already told you!"
"Who the hell is that guy, Dover?"
"Why are you all ignoring me!"
"I'm the captain! I'm really angry!!!"
Seeing his captain throwing a tantrum, Victor chuckled and walked over.
He reached out and patted Luffy's straw hat reassuringly, patiently explaining to him:
"Doflamingo, that guy is the ruler of Dressrosa in the New World, the king of the underworld, 'JOKER,' and also one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea."
"More importantly, he is the mastermind behind Caesar, the mad scientist on this island."
After listening to Viktor's simple and clear explanation, Luffy finally said "Oh" and stopped making a fuss.
At that moment, Law looked at Luffy and took a deep breath.
He stepped forward and made a surprising move that surprised everyone present.
This man, known as the "Surgeon of Death," actually put his legs together, bowed his head deeply to Luffy, and spoke with unprecedented sincerity:
"So... Straw Hat Master, I solemnly request that you join my alliance and lend me a hand."
"Without your efforts, this plan would be difficult to succeed."
Seeing Law bowing his head and begging him, Luffy dropped his carefree demeanor.
He raised his hand and pulled the brim of his straw hat down slightly.
Those clear eyes became more serious and profound than ever before in the shadows.
He looked at Luo and asked in a deep voice:
Why?
"Why did you have to go to such lengths, to kill that guy named Doflamingo?"
Upon hearing this question, Ronaldo's lowered body trembled slightly.
He slowly raised his head, and in his usually calm eyes, there surged endless pain, hatred, and extreme killing intent that had been suppressed for more than a decade.
His voice became hoarse and heavy:
"Because...that man killed someone who was very important to me...a benefactor who gave me a second life."
"I've lived to this day only to take revenge on him."
After hearing Luo's heavy and sorrowful reasons for revenge, the sound of the wind and snow around them seemed to subside, and the air became somewhat heavy.
However, faced with this heavy burden of hatred...
Luffy suddenly raised his head, breaking the silence.
He let out a hearty, unrestrained laugh, full of boldness and exhilaration:
"Ha ha ha ha!"
"I thought it was some serious reason!"
"As a pirate, if you've chosen to sail the high seas, you must be prepared to die at any moment!"
Luffy's seemingly cold words caused a flicker of surprise in Law's eyes, as he didn't understand what Luffy meant.
But then, Luffy looked at Law and flashed his signature bright smile.
He placed one hand on his straw hat, giving his final decision:
I'm not interested in your revenge.
"Therefore, I still refuse to join your alliance and take your orders!"
As Law's gaze dimmed, Luffy abruptly changed the subject:
"But... since we find you pleasing to the eye, we can lend you a hand."
"because……"
Luffy puffed out his chest confidently and declared loudly, "Because I'm going to beat him up, and it just happens to be on the way!"
This illogical turn of events and absurd reason left Luo completely stunned, unable to utter a single word for a long time.
Luffy turned his head, grinning, and looked at the navigator standing to the side, seeking his opinion:
"Hey? You agree, Nami?"
Faced with their captain's reckless and capricious decision to drag themselves into the huge vortex between the Seven Warlords of the Sea and the Four Emperors.
Nami closed her eyes helplessly, rubbed her forehead heavily with the back of her hand, and let out a long sigh.
But in the end, the corners of her mouth couldn't help but turn up slightly.
She looked at Luffy and nodded slightly:
"Ah... I really can't do anything with you, you stupid captain."
"Since you've put it that way, then we might as well go and cause a ruckus along the way."
