LIGHTNOVELONLINE Chapter 26 Hundred Strategies Crow
After deciding to join Luffy's group, Usopp took them to Kaya's villa after they briefly got to know each other.
On the way, Usopp told Luffy and others about Kaya.
"The big family you are talking about is Kaya's family. Kaya's parents passed away three years ago, and now Kaya manages the entire family."
"But Kaya is weak and sick, so their family's business is basically handed over to a housekeeper to help take care of it."
When it came to the butler, Usopp suddenly became very angry.
"The butler's name is Krabatre, and he's a very difficult guy to get along with."
"Every time I went to see Kaya, he would come out and stop me."
"Anyway, that guy is very annoying."
Listening to Usopp complaining about the butler, Luffy felt extremely enlightened.
He knew that this butler named Krabattle was actually the captain of the original Crow Pirates, known as "Hundred Strategies" Crow, with a bounty of 16 million, and he was one of the top three pirates in East Blue.
Speaking of which, the Marine Colonel Monka they defeated in Shields Town was promoted because he caught "Clo" and sent him to prison.
But in fact, the "Clo" who was caught at the time was just a scapegoat, and the real Cloo was under the pseudonym Krabater, lurking here, trying to take away Kaya's property.
But Luffy knew this, but he couldn't say it in public, otherwise it would be difficult to explain.
He planned to wait until he met Crowe before taking action on him, and reveal his identity and plan step by step.
...
Usopp kept talking along the way, telling Luffy and others the story of how he once tore apart a huge octopus with his hands in the ocean.
It wasn't until a luxurious villa appeared in the sight of several people that he stopped telling the story and said.
"Here we are, this is Kaya's house."
As soon as he finished speaking, he hurried to the main entrance.
In the past, he sneaked in, but this time he brought people to do business, so he was naturally more confident and went directly to the main entrance.
When he was about to knock on the door, he suddenly saw Kaya drinking tea and reading a book in the courtyard garden, and suddenly shouted excitedly.
"Kaya!"
Kaya, who was reading a book, suddenly heard a familiar voice and was surprised.
"Usopp?!"
She quickly closed the book and ran towards the door.
But at this moment, a figure flashed out of the house quickly, came to her in a few steps, and stopped her.
"Miss, please pay attention to your body, you can't run away like this yet."
Kaya took a deep breath, looked at Crowe gently and said.
"It's okay, Krabaatar, I'm much better than before."
"Thank you for your concern, Krabaatar."
Crowe glanced at Usopp standing at the door, a chill flashed in his eyes, and then said to Kaya.
"Miss, you have spent enough time outside today, please go back to the house and rest quickly!"
With that said, Crowe turned to look at Usopp.
"Miss is going to rest now, you'd better come back soon!"
Although Kaya was a little reluctant to leave, she still listened to the words of the housekeeper who had taken good care of her for the past three years.
After all, the housekeeper cares so much about her, and if she refuses, it will definitely hurt the housekeeper's heart.
Just as she waved goodbye to Usopp, she suddenly saw a few more figures around Usopp.
"Huh? They are..."
Kaya murmured in confusion.
When did Usopp have a few more people around her that she didn't know about?
I’ve never heard Usopp say that before!
Crow heard Kaya's muttering and looked back curiously.
Then he saw four strange people standing next to Usopp.
But when he glanced at the three knives on Zoro's waist, there was an imperceptible cold light in his eyes.
Although he is lurking in this village, it does not mean that he knows nothing about the outside world.
He had heard of the pirate hunter Zoro.
But he never thought that the other party was here to catch him. After all, "he" had died three years ago.
"Who are you? What's the matter here?"
Crowe returned to his usual butler appearance and came over to interact with Luffy and others.
In fact, he wanted to send these people away quickly, so as not to disrupt his plan for three days later.
Let the present-day Crowe Pirates attack Silob Village, creating the illusion that Kaya was killed by pirates, and then he successfully inherited Kaya's family property.
"We are pirates. We heard that there is a shipping business here, so we plan to buy a ship."
Luffy acted with Crowe.
"Pirate?!"
Crowe repeated doubtfully, then showed a disgusted expression and said.
"Sorry, we don't do pirate business, please go back."
It was because he was tired of being a pirate that he planned to seize Kaya's property and live a normal life.
So when I heard Luffy say that they were pirates, that disgust came to my heart again.
And another thing that bothered him was, wasn't Zoro a pirate hunter? Why are you hanging out with pirates?
This made him, the second smartest person in East Blue (the first being Benn Beckman), feel that something was fishy.
In order for the plan to proceed smoothly, he had to eliminate all factors that might affect the situation.
"Speaking of which, I seem to have seen you somewhere!"
At this time, Luffy suddenly said something irrelevant.
But when Crowe heard this, his heart suddenly tightened and he frowned slightly.
Luffy pretended to be thinking, and suddenly seemed to remember it all at once, and said.
"By the way, you are Crow, right? The [Hundred Plan] Crow with a bounty of 16 million Baileys. I saw your bounty list from three years ago in the Marine Base in Shields Town. It was in that Menka in the office.”
Of course, Luffy made up this sentence casually. He just wanted to force Crowe to reveal his secret, and he mentioned Mengka specifically to increase credibility.
Hearing Luffy say that Krabaatar turned out to be the pirate Crow, Usopp's eyes suddenly jumped out of fear, but when he thought that the other party was beside Kaya, he immediately plucked up the courage and pretended to be calm.
"Hey! Kra...Klo, are you really a pirate? Hurry up and stay away from Kaya."
Kaya also felt extremely unbelievable at this time. She looked at Crowe weakly and murmured.
"Krabatl?!"
