Chapter 23
Even Xia Chen found it incredible.
He originally thought that Luffy would give a reason, even if Jesus was Usopp’s father.
Usopp had such potential to become a top sniper, which was reasonable, but he gave such a reason. But I have to say that although it was a joke, it was Luffy’s fault.
Sure enough, after a few people digested it a little, Luffy was punched by Nami again.
She felt more and more that her future was bleak.
Nami was very clear about the positioning of her strength, and she belonged to the protected.
As a result, there is now another weak chicken Usopp, so won’t her protection be reduced?
Not long after they left.
The newspaper for the new week was also delivered with the news bird.
“Miss, we should go back. The wind is strong at the seaside.” Merry reminded Kaya who had been staring at the direction where the Straw Hat Pirates disappeared.
Ahem!
Kaya cooperated and coughed twice.
Sighing slightly, if she was braver, could she also go out to sea on a ship like Usopp?
She couldn’t help but clench her fists.
But in the end, she returned to the mansion on the top of the mountain honestly. After all, there was still a chamber of commerce that needed her to take care of. Although the management of the chamber of commerce was also fighting for power because of the death of her parents, Kaya just wanted to keep the part that belonged to her family. After selling it, she would be at ease to be a doctor.
As soon as she arrived at the door, Merry saw the newspaper stuffed in the mailbox. The money in the mailbox had been taken away.
Merry habitually went over and picked it up, and then a wanted order was drawn from it.
“Again?”
As a butler of a merchant family, he had an instinctive aversion to pirates. Even if there was a Jesus Bu here, it had nothing to do with his family.
But with Xia Chen’s incident, he had a different view of pirates, knowing that pirates were different from pirates.
But after unfolding it, he saw Xia Chen on it, and his eyes immediately stared.
The style of the main body of the picture is no different from that of an ordinary wanted poster, but the thin and poorly dressed man in the middle of the picture is Xia Chen.
Although he is not very majestic and domineering, the 50 million Baileys bounty below is still enough to shock the entire East China Sea.
“Merry, what’s wrong?”
Kaya walked over, lifted the hair by her ear and took a look, then raised her hand to cover her mouth.
“This is Mr. Xia Chen!”
It’s hard to imagine, because Xia Chen in the picture is holding a mop and scrubbing the deck. Although a full-body photo of him was taken, it always feels a little bit off, especially at that time he was hungry for six meals in three days, his mental state was very bad, and he had to do so many dirty and tiring work.
If it weren’t for the handsomeness that people couldn’t ignore, and the mother and son without any emotion, it would be difficult for people to connect the slightly thin man in the picture with Xia Chen.
“Mr. Xia Chen will be very angry if he sees it?” Ke Ya quietly took the wanted poster in her hand and said with a little worry.
“It’s none of our business whether he’s angry or not, miss. We have to find a way to deal with him. This guy is really amazing.”
“Merry, I want to be the president of the Chamber of Commerce.”
“Ah?” Merry was a little surprised. “Miss, aren’t you going to study medicine?”
“Studying medicine can’t save the world.”
“What do you mean, miss?”
“Nothing.” Kaya shook her head. In fact, it was Xia Chen who said this. Because she was studying with a medical book at the time. Although she didn’t have such a big ideal at all, for some reason, she remembered every word Xia Chen said these days.
Although she had just met Xia Chen, he always appeared in her sight when he was free. Although it was too hurtful, but… the sky-dropping system completely defeated the childhood sweetheart.
Just as Kaya thought.
Xia Chen, who had been sailing for most of the day, finally encountered the first news bird since they went to sea.
Bought several recent newspapers. As a matter of course, he found his wanted order, and he was currently the only wanted person in the entire Straw Hat Pirates.
Villain Xia Chen.
“50 million?!”
“I’m so envious. When will I get a bounty?”
“Captain? Vice Captain?”
“Damn it, don’t let me know who provided the picture.” Although he has been in this world for less than a month, Xia Chen already has some of the qualities of a pirate.
He also hopes that the photo on his wanted poster will be a mighty and domineering one, but now…
It’s actually his most embarrassing moment. If he holds a meeting of 50 million Bailey pirates, he will probably be laughed to death.
A deck cleaner is worthy of it?
The expressions of the other three people are different.
Luffy and Usopp are envious to death, Nami was scared to death, as for Zoro, he had not yet experienced the charm of the bounty and thought it would only be trouble.
Xia Chen ignored them and continued to look through the newspaper, and finally found the most interesting news.
“Shock! The largest pirate group in the East China Sea was defeated!”
“Vice Admiral Garp: Barati, the restaurant on the sea, tastes top-notch!”
Xia Chen was confused.
He could understand the above news. Although the newspapers were all “World Economic News”, due to the restrictions of the World Government, many news about the Grand Line and the New World were rarely conveyed to the Four Seas through newspapers.
Big News Morgans, although he was thinking about making big news all day, he also knew the bottom line of the World Government. Before there was news that was enough to make him stand up, he would still cooperate with the work of the World Government.
Therefore, many islands in the Four Seas have World News newspapers distributed, and they usually value news about their respective seas. Mainly for most of the newspaper subscribers in the Four Seas, the New World Four Emperors and Seven Warlords are too far away for them.
No matter how great the news is, it is useless if it cannot be sold.
So there is nothing unexpected about the first news. Although it did not appear in the original work, it does not mean that it did not happen. The pirate group of Admiral Klick should be defeated.
But what the hell is this Garp?
He must know what kind of power the Sea Restaurant Barati is, but Garp has never taken care of it.
One is that the navy knows that they are a group of pirates who have turned over a new leaf and are role models.
Secondly, the youngest son of the Vinsmoke family is right there, and the navy must give him some face!
But pirates are pirates. In the eyes of the navy heroes… Hey, no, he is a vice admiral who can sacrifice a whole batch of boys for a promise, and his son is the world’s most vicious gangster, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, and his grandson Luffy who has now become a pirate.
Damn it.
This family has a complicated identity.
But Xia Chen feels that this is not a coincidence. Garp is looking for his own traces, but it gives people a feeling of not being very dedicated.
But he did challenge the bottom line of the navy.
However, doubts were doubts, and the sense of crisis in his heart did not disappear.
“Then will this Garp be in Barati?” At that time, he was thinking, and he had already handed the newspaper in his hand to the next person.
“Oh, grandpa said that this place is delicious, I want to go, there must be the best chef here.”
But this made the other three people on the deck except Xia Chen suddenly fall into silence, and then Usopp said with a trembling voice: “Luffy, you just said that Barati was opened by your grandfather.”
“No, I’m talking about old man Garp.”
Usopp rolled his eyes, bang, fainted!
Nami: The grandson of the navy is a pirate? Oh, me too? That doesn’t matter.
Zoro: “Vice Admiral of the Navy, can you withstand my sword! Luffy, can you let me ask your grandfather for advice when the time comes?”
