Game Merchants Starting from the Ninja World.

Chapter 279 Luffy: Naruto, come be my partner?

"I see, Nami, hurry up and give me the money."

Luffy shook his head, urging the pretty girl with orange hair, then turned and said, "You're such a good person."

Even on first meeting, strangers who meet by chance, they are willing to help each other.

He is indeed a good person.

"Hahaha, I'm not that good either, I just don't want anyone to suffer too much loss because of this little thing."

Naruto scratched his head, feeling a little embarrassed by such a straightforward compliment, and casually asked, "By the way, are you guys VIP players?"

There is no sign of Shinobi Village.

Moreover, neither the orange-haired girl nor the woman holding a book who looked like a scholar seemed like ninjas or ordinary civilians.

That means they can only be nobles.

"We're not like those aristocratic guys."

Luffy thought of the nobles in the pirate world, who were all arrogant and disrespectful to commoners.

He immediately frowned; he didn't want to become one of those guys.

He then explained, "My name is Monkey D. Luffy, and I'm the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates. We are pirates, and we are adventurers. I'm going to be the King of Pirate Adventurers!"

After breaking free from the shackles of Nika's will,

Luffy yearns for countless adventures across the worlds, not only to become the freest Pirate King in the One Piece world, but also to become the King of Adventure in all the heavens and myriad worlds.

"Pirates, are you thieves?"

This time it was Naruto's turn to be surprised.

The brief exchange made him feel that these people didn't seem like bad people, and besides, why would anyone voluntarily admit that they were a bad guy?

There are pirates in the ninja world too.

The area around Kirigakure is inhabited by a group of wandering ninjas and samurai who make a living by robbing civilians. They are a group that is not accepted and despised.

"That's right, we are pirates and adventurers."

Speaking of his dream, Luffy excitedly put his arm around Naruto's shoulder and laughed loudly, "I will become the Pirate King of Adventure! Only the freest person can have this title."

"The freest pirate?"

Naruto's heart sank.

What an ambitious fellow! He even wants to plunder civilians with complete freedom. I will never allow such an outrageous thing to happen.

Even though I think that way, it's still strange.

He didn't sense any evil aura from the Straw Hat Pirates or even their crew.

"He's clearly saying the most evil things."

Naruto thought to himself, "This is what I'm thinking."

Even before becoming a player in the Reincarnation Game, he was able to sense and distinguish the aura emanating from others, whether it was evil or righteous.

This ability was initially very weak.

Afterwards, through in-game currency exchange, and by mastering Sage Mode and Nine-Tails Mode, this ability to perceive large areas of danger and malice is greatly enhanced.

At last,

He bought a [Baptism of Light] item from the game shelf and immediately changed his class to [Templar Knight], who controls the fighting spirit of light, and even maxed out his ability to sense malice.

Under his perception,

The Straw Hat Pirates' hearts are even purer and more insightful than mine. How could someone like that be a pirate?

"If I'm not mistaken, you and I are probably not from the same world, are we?"

Robin, with the clearest mind,

Having already noticed the two's nonsensical exchange, he spoke up: "In our pirate world, although there are many wicked pirates, there are also some fleets that set sail to pursue their dreams. Although they are called pirates, they are now adventurers."

The implication is that the Straw Hat Pirates are not on the evil side.

"Is that so!?"

Naruto was silent for a moment, then his last bit of hesitation disappeared, and his eyes lit up. He patted his chest and said, "My name is Uzumaki Naruto, my profession is ninja, and my favorite food is ramen."

He paused at this point,

Raising her voice slightly, seemingly not wanting to be outdone by Luffy, she declared loudly, "My dream is to become Hokage! The Hokage is the guardian deity of the ninja village, an existence recognized and admired by everyone!"

"Hahaha, what an interesting dream!"

Coincidentally,

Luffy also possesses the ability to distinguish between good and evil, much like Roger's ability to hear the voice of all things.

This might be the standard setup for the protagonist of a shonen manga.

When the two met for the first time,

Their eyes were locked, as if they had met too late and were eager to sleep side by side that very night.

"Naruto, will you be my partner?"

Luffy, grinning broadly, said, "Come with us on an adventure to another world and hunt monsters!"

They have already entered the city.

The Straw Hat Pirates crew members, walking along the wide street, were already used to Luffy's words.

Luffy's dream of setting sail is not only to become the Pirate King, but also to find various crewmates.

Now suddenly, ninjas I've never seen before have appeared.

Naturally, he couldn't resist inviting the other party onto the ship.

Naruto shook his head and refused, saying, "Sorry, although it sounds interesting, I want to protect my village."

Luffy wasn't bothered by the rejection and excitedly asked, "What a pity! Can you breathe fire?"

Naruto scratched his head sheepishly and said, "I'm a Wind Release ninja, but I should still be able to throw the most basic fireball."

"Really?"

Chopper's eyes lit up, and he asked, "What about shuriken? Can you throw shuriken too!?"

"That's the curriculum at the Ninja Academy; I was top of my class back then!"

Naruto was a little embarrassed at first, but he got more and more excited and started bragging.

suddenly,

A cold voice came from behind: "Is that so? You're the top student, and I'm the bottom student?"

Sasuke, dressed in all black and carrying a black sword pouch,

Interrupting Naruto's boasting, he said, "I asked you to exchange the monster remains for supplies, but I didn't expect you to slack off."

"I wasn't slacking off, I just met new friends and almost forgot!"

Naruto, his face flushed, explained that he was extremely embarrassed that his boast had been overheard by someone in the know.

He quickly changed the subject, saying to Luffy and the others, "This is Uchiha Sasuke, my partner. We are all ninjas from Konoha."

"snort."

Sasuke stared coldly at Naruto, especially noticing his arm-in-arm with Luffy, and asked, "Did I come at the wrong time?"

She really is a social butterfly; she can make new friends even when exchanging supplies.

"No, you've come at the perfect time!"

Naruto, oblivious to his best friend's gaze, laughed and pulled Sasuke over, introducing, "This is Luffy, they're players from the One Piece world, and there's Zoro and Sanji too."

After Sasuke appeared,

Zoro's gaze fell on his back, or more precisely, on the sword in the black sword sheath.

If he is not mistaken,

That sword pouch is at least a purple-grade item.

A sword that can be protected in a sword pouch of this grade is definitely not ordinary.

Naruto's friend, this ninja named Sasuke, should be a swordsman like himself.

"Uchiha Sasuke".

Sasuke took the initiative to reveal his name.

Their gazes were also scrutinizing the man with green hair.

Three-sword style?

Each of his swords was of high quality, and his sharp and assertive aura made him a true swordsman.

"Nonoroya Zoro!"
