Chapter 413: Chapter 412 - Happo Navy 01.
Chapter Size: 2000 Words.]
Third Person POV
New Word.
...
...
The Chinjao family was sailing across the seas, embarking on another job since they were a mercenary organization known as the Happo Navy. They had started in the West Blue and had gradually made a name for themselves in the New World over the past few years, taking on various jobs in these waters.
Today, they were transporting a large sum of money for an organization, escorting a ship from a country that heavily relied on the Donquixote family's weapons. Now that the family had been destroyed, they had to turn to another organization to purchase arms.
Many countries that still depended on the Donquixote family and their weapons factories were in the same predicament. Numerous conflicts continued to ravage their lands, and some countries and organizations had abandoned this supplier as soon as Doflamingo was killed, knowing that without Joker, they were as fragile as glass, easily shattered.
Those who still trusted in them due to Kaido's association were caught by surprise when Dressrosa fell along with the family. They no longer had a way to receive their shipments, even though this would have happened eventually with the organization heading to war in Wano against the Straw Hats.
"The sea is in chaos right now... Do you think we'll make it to our new supplier without any problems...?" A man, who was from a kingdom embroiled in civil war, asked aboard the ship in the center of the Happo Navy. He needed to bring a new shipment to his kingdom. After all, they had to fight against the rebels who had risen up against the royal family due to their tyranny. They knew this, but they could do nothing except fight for their king, even though he was a tyrant.
"The Happo Navy is well-known... Few pirates could stand against them," another man replied.
"I hope you're right..." the first man murmured.
Meanwhile, on one of the larger ships, Sai, one of the main members, approached his grandfather, the fearsome Chinjao, the Drill. This man had a bounty of 500 million berries and was known for his powerful headbutt, though not as much anymore due to an encounter with Vice-Admiral Garp. Even so, he was still a formidable pirate with Conqueror's Haki, which said a lot about him.
"Grandpa... are you okay?" Sai approached Chinjao, who had been staring at one side of the horizon for several minutes, something unusual for his grandfather.
"Did you notice something, Grandpa...?" Boo, Sai's brother, also approached.
"Yes... something is coming from that direction..." Chinjao murmured, his narrowed gaze indicating that his Haki had detected a certain danger approaching.
"Should we prepare to fight?" Sai, seeming to read his grandfather's mind, asked.
"Yes, tell everyone to prepare for a major battle," he said in a grim tone.
Sai nodded and left to use the Den Den Mushis to give orders to all the ships of the Happo Navy.
As Chinjao had foreseen, a dark spot began to appear on the horizon, and Boo, standing beside him, grabbed a spyglass and pointed it toward that direction, beginning to make out the ship in the distance and its flag.
"T-That!" His voice came out shaky and nervous as one of the main causes of the chaos currently gripping the New World was heading toward them. "There's no doubt... that ship..." His nervousness was not only due to the symbol on the ship's sail but also because of the ship itself. Rumors and reports had been spreading about this crew appearing in various places in the New World, but this ship represented the worst of it, as it had been sighted at Gran Tesoro just days ago.
"Tell me... who are they!?" Chinjao was losing his patience with his grandson, who was taking too long to respond. After all, he couldn't see who it was without a spyglass from that distance, relying only on the feeling of danger as his guide.
Boo swallowed hard before addressing his grandfather. "They're the Straw Hats! And they're coming with the main ship, the Black Pearl... which means it's their captain himself, approaching!!" Boo informed with a shaken tone.
"Garp's grandson?!" Chinjao seemed furious at this, after all, the grandson of the man who had shattered his dreams with one punch was now approaching.
"We must flee! Grandpa, we need to go back... we can't fight them!!" Boo exclaimed, clearly terrified. Who was Monkey D. Luffy, appearing in the newspapers since the East Blue, and what did he represent?! Everyone knew well enough, and except for the World Government, the Navy, and the Yonko, no one could stand against them.
"No..." Chinjao suddenly spoke, making Boo look at him, confused by what his grandfather meant by that. "Let our ships prepare to fight them." Chinjao decided, letting his rage cloud his judgment, driven by the desire for revenge against Monkey D. Garp, believing he could defeat Monkey D. Luffy to settle the score.
Boo stared at his grandfather in disbelief, then ordered an attack against the Straw Hats as if he had completely lost his mind, while the Black Pearl continued to approach. Thanks to Sai's orders, the Happo fleet also began preparing, turning their ships.
"Hey, what's going on?" The people from the kingdom carrying the money noticed the movement of the ships around them, preparing for a fight. They began to wonder who was out there and if it could be rebels from their kingdom, trying to steal the king's money.
"Is there a problem?" Sai approached Boo, who was visibly shaken.
"Take this, brother, see for yourself." Boo handed the spyglass to Sai, who raised it and looked toward the ship, becoming just as stunned as his brother.
"This is terrible, Grandpa! We can't fight them!" Sai declared, frowning.
"Don't be a coward like your brother, Sai! They're coming for us, and you know it's only a matter of time before their ship reaches us. And if they want a fight, then let's give them one! It's time for me to show Garp a taste of what he made me lose!" Chinjao spoke with confidence, believing he could handle Monkey D. Luffy—or rather, make Garp suffer, already imagining the Navy hero crying in a corner, uttering words of regret for making him lose the point on his head that one day.
The Straw Hats' ship continued to approach the fleet, and their flag finally became visible to everyone. This quickly made the entire fleet, including Chinjao's grandsons, realize that this was the ship of a Yonko, filling them with fear.
The once-confident movements of the Happo Navy crew began to falter as they questioned whether they should fight against that ship. But the only one still confident was Chinjao, who grew angry at his group for cowardly backing down so easily.
He grabbed Sai's Den Den Mushi. "Stop trembling! We are the Happo Navy! We will not retreat from these pirates! Follow me, and we will destroy them!" Chinjao declared with determination.
Meanwhile, the ship from the kingdom was completely stunned, desperate to get out of there as quickly as possible. "They're insane for wanting to fight that pirate crew! What have we gotten ourselves into...?! Now we're in the middle of a battle, and we're going to die because of it!" The men from that country were far from pleased with the situation, witnessing one of the New World's hurricanes appear before them, bringing misfortune as the Happo Navy seemed intent on facing them.
On the Straw Hats' ship, Luffy was still at the edge of the deck, gazing at the Happo Navy as the Black Pearl naturally sailed toward them. Nami and Vivi were taking a bath inside the ship. Shirahoshi opened the kitchen door at that moment as she approached, accompanied by Lucy, whose belly was enormous after eating so much takoyaki that Hachi had prepared. Hachi followed closely behind the pair as they headed toward the deck.
Shirahoshi was the first to reach Luffy, swimming through the air until she caught up with the captain and hugged him from behind.
"You smell like sex," she murmured into his ear.
"Are you surprised?" Luffy responded with a grin. "I know you were aware of everything happening on the deck."
"True, but someone had to keep your sister and Hachi in the kitchen. Anyway, I hope to be rewarded for that tonight..." she spoke in a seductive tone.
"Of course, you know it's my duty as your husband to attend to you, my lovely wife," Luffy said with a small smile.
"So they are the Happo Navy?" Lucy asked as she approached her brother, looking curiously at the group of ships.
"Yes, that's right," Luffy commented while the ships seemed to be preparing for his arrival. "It seems they are braver than I thought. Maybe Chinjao is more stubborn than I imagined." Luffy smiled at that, not knowing exactly what was happening, but he could certainly sense, through his Observation Haki, that the enemies were prepared to face them, even though many of them were scared.
Sai and Boo stood behind their grandfather, who was at the bow of the ship, watching Luffy's fearsome ship approach.
Suddenly, the advancing ship stopped a few dozen meters ahead, with Luffy using his Moa Moa no Mi on it, surrounded by cannons from all the ships pointing at them. As Luffy moved to the edge of the ship, Nami and Vivi finally emerged from the ship after washing up, tending to their wet hair.
Luffy took a few steps forward and stared at the man who was looking at him with a certain coldness. "Garp's grandson..." Chinjao murmured as Luffy raised his arm to greet him, while he stood out from everyone else. Both on the ship and on the others around it, everyone was frightened and cautious in the presence of Monkey D. Luffy.
"Yes, I'm Garp's grandson. And you, Chinjao... by the way you're looking at me, do you want to fight?" Luffy asked with a smile.
"Yes! I'm going to get revenge for what your grandfather did!" Chinjao said, while running his hand over his head, still feeling the void where the symbol of his strength once was—the drill that could break anything, even the treasure he had hidden in nearly unbreakable ice. This was the reason for Chinjao's deep hatred toward Garp and his family.
"Grandpa, I think we should reconsider this..." Sai murmured beside him, but Chinjao didn't care, ignoring him while Luffy's smile grew wider.
"Well, this is interesting," Luffy commented. "After all, I'm going to make you join my fleet by the end of the day!" Luffy declared, surprising everyone.
"Join your fleet? Don't be ridiculous!" Chinjao, hearing the most absurd thing he could have imagined, exclaimed, and suddenly unleashed his Conqueror's Haki directly at Luffy, trying to intimidate him. Wind and energy crackled across his ship, while the other ships around them trembled, with Chinjao clearly enraged.
"Hm? He's serious!" Lucy murmured in surprise, completely unfazed by the Conqueror's Haki, just like the other members of Luffy's crew, who could easily handle it.
For Luffy, it was merely a breeze. He looked at Chinjao, his eyes glowing even redder, and suddenly exploded with his own Conqueror's Haki. Quickly, Luffy's Haki began to dominate the area, overpowering Chinjao's, who struggled to stay firm, shocked by this.
Everyone around quickly realized Chinjao was losing control. Sai and Boo were stunned as they felt Luffy's Haki strike them, making them fall to their knees, terrified. Only Chinjao managed to remain standing, trying to resist, while the entire Happo Navy fleet began collapsing, one by one, across the other ships.
"What?!"
In the end, only Chinjao and his two grandsons, who were kneeling, remained conscious. Chinjao was clearly stunned but still enraged, blinded by his desire for revenge. Luffy, meanwhile, smiled even wider.
"As I said... you'll be part of my fleet by the end of this day," Luffy declared.
