Comparing the two Luffies, this Luffy is so cool!

He raised his hand. "No! You report like this! Let's say this group of criminals attacked the Marine Headquarters at night. I led everyone in a heroic resistance and eventually captured most of them, but five accomplices escaped with 3 million berries."

"Colonel, it's 2 million Baileys!" the treasurer corrected.

【"Um?"】

Hearing this, Colonel Loki's face changed. He poked the treasurer's forehead with his index finger and said, "You're a pig-headed person! You clearly lost 3 million berries!"

The treasurer finally realized, "Ah..., yes, yes! It's 3 million berries. There are only a few million left in the entire treasury... Damn these bastards!"

Zhan Guo: "Damn it!!! After the movie is over, check this Colonel Loki to see if he has ever done something like this before!!"

Gol D. Roger: "Haha!!! Isn't this movie more interesting than this???"

Shiki: "This is hilarious! Captain Loki only got a beating, but he immediately made 1 million berries out of this incident, and even took the credit for arresting all the high-ranking agents of Baroque Works!!! This guy is definitely a genius in the navy!!!"

Wang Zhi: "Zhan Guo, he has made such great contributions, shouldn't you promote him to Brigadier General???"

Charlotte Lingling: "Well, hahahaha!"

Edward Newgate: "Gulala la la la~"

Zefa: "Oh..., this is so embarrassing!!"

[Returning to the Kingdom of Alabasta, I contacted Princess Vivi again~]

[Princess Vivi brings Luffy and his group into the palace~~~]

King Cobra personally entertained Luffy and his crew at a banquet of the highest royal standard.

"Mr. Luffy, if Vivi hadn't told me the truth, I would still be in the dark!"

[Cobra raises his glass to toast Luffy~]

[He was wondering why it suddenly started raining all over the country...]

He asked the palace guards to investigate the matter, but they found nothing.

[It wasn't until Princess Weiwei returned to the palace and told him what had happened that he realized he had received help from a noble person!]

"Well, you're welcome! It's also because of your connection with Weiwei. Otherwise... we would already be on another island."

[Luffy is not pretentious, he eats meat and drinks wine with big mouthfuls~]

[Since he's doing me such a big favor, it's not too much to eat more of him...]

[The party was very enjoyable~]

[Weiwei even took the initiative to compete with Nami in drinking, and they both drank a lot~]

Sanji hugged four or five palace maids, eating the delicious food they stuffed into his mouth while his nose bled. There were probably seven or eight basins of blood~

[During this period, Bell, the captain of the Imperial Palace Guard, came to see Cobra several times. Cobra politely apologized to Luffy and then walked to the door to listen to what Bell said.]

The distance from the banquet table to the entrance of the banquet hall is quite long. Furthermore, with the two of you standing outside, even with your Observation Haki, I can't hear what you're saying.

[But..., this does not include Luffy! !]

Luffy's observation Haki clearly heard the conversation between Cobra and Bell~

The general content is...

Because the rain has started again in the Kingdom of Alabasta, people are celebrating!!! Many people hope that their guardian deity, Mr. Crocodile, will sacrifice himself to celebrate with them!!

However, the Sand Crocodile disappeared for several days without a single sighting. Many die-hard fans began to worry that the Sand Crocodile was in danger, and someone called the Navy to report the incident.

Search【The Navy Headquarters tried to contact Crocodile by phone, but failed to get through...】

So, the Navy contacted the Alabasta royal family and asked them to keep an eye on Crocodile's movements.

[Also, the Navy Headquarters stated that if Crocodile is still not found, they will send someone to investigate the matter personally!!]

* [After talking to Bell, Cobra comes back to drink with him again~]

【He didn't mention this to Luffy, so Luffy didn't ask any more questions. 】

"Mr. Luffy!!! On behalf of the people of the entire Kingdom of Alabasta, I express my sincerest respect to you and your companions!!! If you have any requests or needs, please let me know!!"

& 【As a king, Cobra must express his sincerity to Luffy~】

How can a banquet alone be enough?

[However, the Alabasta royal family's tax revenue is not high, and due to the drought in the past two years, Cobra has allocated funds for disaster relief, resulting in little money in the treasury~]

# [Otherwise... Cobra would have immediately spent 10 billion Beli to express his gratitude to Luffy! ]

[Instead of waiting anxiously for Luffy to speak~~~]

Luffy thought for a moment, then smiled. "... Actually, I've heard from Vivi that your royal family's treasury is also tight right now. But since you've asked, I'll take 2 million Beli!! Consider it as compensation~"

% [“Make up for…”]

[Hearing this, Cobra didn't quite understand~]

"It's nothing, just give me 2 million Baileys."

[Luffy didn't explain much, just confirmed the number.]

2 million berries is actually quite tight for the Alabasta royal family right now, but if they tighten their belts, they can still squeeze out the money...

"Alright! Besides the 2 million berries, please also bring some of the palace's fine wine and food~"

King Cobra is not a small-minded person. Although 2 million Beli will make the current Alabasta royal family suffer for a while...

[But considering what Luffy has done, 2 million berries is really too little~]

[A few days later~]

[Merry docked at the wild port of the rapeseed flower city~]

[Except Luffy, everyone is on the boat~]

[Rapeseed flower city, downtown area! ! ]

[On the dome of the tallest building~]

[A figure appears here...]

"Look! There's someone there! It's Mr. Crocodile's favorite place to stand!"

"Is Lord Crocodile back?"

"No! That's not right! He's not Mr. Crocodile! He's the great pirate Monkey D. Luffy, who has a bounty of 5000 million berries!"

"I remember him! He fought Mr. Crocodile and defeated him!"

"Look, what's that in his hand?"

“I can’t see clearly!”

[...(Qian Zhao's)...]

Soon, a large crowd gathered here, including many navy officers who came to investigate the crocodile's disappearance.

[Luffy stands on the dome, looking down~]

[What he held in his hand was Crocodile's head~]

[Although many days have passed, due to the ability of Nami's slippery fruit, microorganisms cannot enter this brain, so Crocodile's head is still lifelike...]

[He murdered Crocodile, so no matter how Cobra explains it to the navy, it will definitely not make sense!]

[As for revealing Crocodile's crimes and the truth about the dancing fans to the civilians? ]

[Don't even think about it! ]

【People only believe what they see with their own eyes!!】

[Including Luffy himself...]

Even when he first met Crocodile, he still thought of him as a "model worker" who served the people based on his first impression...

[Adding to the previous "Palace Dancing Fan Incident", if Cobra wanted to reveal the truth to the people, he would only end up being seen as framing Crocodile...]

Many people even believe that Cobra must have been jealous of Crocodile's popularity among the people, which is why he cruelly killed the guardian angel in the hearts of the people of Alabasta...

[Of course..., we can't really blame these civilians too much. After all, their strength and vision determine that they can't see the truth clearly.]

【Now Luffy is standing here, intending to put an end to this matter! 】

[He was the one who killed Crocodile, so he wanted to let more people know.]

[But in this way, the dead Crocodile becomes a good guy, and Luffy is confirmed as the "big villain"~]

When Luffy asked Cobra for 200 million Beli earlier, he was referring to this matter...

"It doesn't matter. I've already got a 5000 million bounty, so why not just increase my bounty?"

[Luffy shook his head slightly, looked at the crowd below, and threw Crocodile's head casually~]

Chapter 104 The Straw Hat Pirates are officially established! (Subscribe!)

Crocodile: "That bastard Red Luffy!! Damn it!!"

Seeing his head being thrown to the ground by Luffy from a high place, Crocodile was so angry that he almost exploded~~

Donquixote Doflamingo: "Just be happy! Aren't you going to be the guardian of Alabasta? Look... Red Luffy made it happen for you. You will live forever in the hearts of the people of Alabasta, and you will be their eternal guardian... Fufufufufu!!!"

Gekko Moriah: "Live in their hearts, Doflamingo, you really know how to talk, hehehehe...!!"

Gion: "Given what Crocodile did, he deserved to die!! From this point of view..., Luffy over there did the right thing!"

Sakaski: "That's right, the damned pirates should be killed right there!!"

[Navy Headquarters, Marineford~~~]

[“Marshal, here is an application to revoke the bounty order~~~”]

Vice Admiral Tsuru arrives at Sengoku's office and sees a document lying on his desk...

【Um!??】

Zhan Guo frowned and looked at Lieutenant General He with some doubt: "Does this application need to be submitted to me? Do you need to submit it in person??"

"Take a look first, then tell me..."

[Lieutenant General Tsuru gave a wry smile and shook his head~~]

[Open files after the Warring States Period~~~]

[This is the application report submitted by Colonel Tina~~]

[The contents are probably...]

She personally went to the Iron Bucket Kingdom to investigate the matter regarding Walpo, and discovered that what Luffy had said before was actually true!

[Walper did indeed wreak havoc on the Iron Bucket Kingdom for several years, and it was indeed because of the Blackbeard Pirates landing on Drum Island that Walper and his King's Guard became pirates~~~]

[So...the application for Luffy's bounty that she and Colonel Loki submitted together was a huge mistake!!]

[Not only did they not kill innocent people, they also rescued the civilians of the former Iron Bucket Kingdom from dire straits~~~]

After figuring out what happened, Captain Tina felt deeply guilty. She rushed to the Marine Headquarters overnight. Upon returning, she wrote this bounty application to atone for her mistake...

Understanding the purpose of this application, Zhan Guo smiled and said, "Then just cancel it!!"

[“But…, here’s another piece of information~~”]

[Lieutenant General Tsuru gave a wry smile and placed another document on the table.]

[Zhan Guo was a little baffling, so I opened it and took a look~~~]

"What a bastard!!! They actually killed the 870 Warlords of the Sea!!! They simply don't take our navy seriously!!!"

[After seeing the contents of the letter, Zhan Guo slammed the table, causing all the documents on the table to jump up~~~]

However, Lieutenant General Tsuru sighed, "You're getting old and confused, and you're still missing the point... Can't you just look at the name of this wanted person again?"

【name??】

[Hearing this, Zhan Guo looked at the person's name~~]

【Monkey D. Luffy...】

[This level of bounty order has never been issued by Zhan Guo before, so this is the first time Zhan Guo has seen a bounty on Luffy~~~]

He already has a lot of work to do and is very busy every day, so he was just focused on the events and didn't pay much attention to the name.
