Chapter 926 Commission

...

"You are lying, Miss Uta."

Faced with Sanji's sudden suspicion, Uta gently shook his head in denial.

"Haha, I didn't lie at all. You guys are just overthinking it."

"Lie? Hey, Sanji, Uta wouldn't lie to me! Hurry up and apologize to Uta."

Luffy said a little angrily.

"Hey, Luffy! I don't think the perverted chef is wrong."

"cut!"

It was rare for Zoro to speak up for his old enemy, but Sanji turned his head away without any appreciation.

"Okay, stop arguing."

Nami came over.

"Luffy, Uta is afraid that we will be in danger if we are involved, so she said this on purpose. In fact, the crisis of the Golden City is far from over, right? Uta."

"Otherwise, it's impossible that the concert riot lasted so long without reinforcements arriving."

"What? Is that really the case?"

Luffy looked at Uta in confusion.

Uta did not answer, but the smile on her face became a little stiff as she smiled.

"Hey! Uta, I've already told you that we will definitely protect you, why are you still unwilling to trust us?"

Luffy questioned angrily.

"Boom!"

Uta stuck his spear into the ground and said loudly.

"No need! As a sister, I don't need a brother to protect me!"

"Uta..."

"Hey! You should have seen it just now, Luffy! I'm strong! I have enough strength to protect myself! So protection or something! I don't need it at all! Luffy!"

Luffy just sat down on the ground, pouting and sulking.

"Humph! I don't want to!"

"This is my own business! It has nothing to do with you! I don't want you to interfere in my affairs, and I don't want to owe you any favors! So, get your people out of here! Luffy!"

Uta shouted, hands on her hips.

"Tsk~! Whether we leave or not is our own business! We are pirates!"

Luffy crossed his arms and turned his head to the side.

"you!"

Uta didn't know how to refute for a moment.

"Well done, Luffy."

Seeing this, the rest of the Straw Hat Pirates found a place to sit down and rest, expressing their support for the captain's decision.

Two years ago, Luffy broke into the Marine Headquarters in Marineford to rescue Ace, but they were unable to help and could only look at the newspaper and worry about Luffy afterwards. Now he has returned after two years of training, and no matter what difficulties they encounter, they can face them together!

Wuta rubbed his eyebrows and said that he had a headache.

"Stop being such a child, Luffy."

"I won't leave until I'm sure you're not in danger!"

Luffy remained unmoved.

"Damn it! You have no idea what you'll face if you stay. How dangerous it will be!"

Uta said excitedly.

"You've finally regrouped, do you want to end your adventure here prematurely? Your dream hasn't even come true yet!"

"Ah! I didn't know!"

Luffy's expression was serious.

"But I only know that if I can't even protect the people I want to protect, what's the point of becoming the Pirate King!"

"No matter who the enemy is! I said I would protect you, and of course that includes risking my life!"

"Luffy…"

Uta looked dazed. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to say.

"Clap clap clap!"

"Well said, Straw Hat."

Suddenly, they heard applause, and everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw Tesoro walking towards them quickly.

However, unlike his usual meticulous dress and calm demeanor, Tezolo's suit now had several stains and tears, and he looked a little disheveled, dusty and worn.

"Lord Tezolo?"

Uta was a little surprised. It was also the first time she saw Tezoro like this.

"I am fine."

Tesoro smiled and gave Uta a reassuring look before turning back to Luffy and speaking.

"Straw Hat Pirates, I have something I'd like to entrust you with. As for the reward, I'll give you 100 billion berries! You can add more if that's not enough!"

"What? How much?!"

"One hundred billion? Bailey?!"

When Nami, Usopp, and Chopper heard this astronomical figure, their eyes all turned into Bailey symbols like a slot machine.

"Just tell me what you want!"

Nami asked impatiently.

If someone else said this, let alone whether the reward of 100 billion berries is real, even a single punctuation mark might be a lie. But the person who said this is the big boss of the Golden City, the Golden Emperor Tesoro, so it’s different!

"Uta is right. It will be very dangerous to stay here. I just received news that the Navy Headquarters has dispatched 20 warships led by three admirals to launch a demon-slaying order against the Golden City!"

Tezulo spoke quickly and calmly.

"Demon Slayer Order!"

"Three generals?"

Everyone who was extracting keywords frowned.

Tezoro didn't waste any words and took out a life card and continued.

"One hundred billion Baileys! I'd like to ask you to escort Uta to a safe place!"

"No! I won't leave! I want to stay and fight with you! Lord Tesoro."

Wuta said anxiously when he heard this.

"You must listen to me this time, Uta!"

Tezulo said seriously.

"I don't want it!... I don't want to lose... me again... didn't you say we are family? Shouldn't family members face everything together?"

Uta stuttered, and she suddenly realized that she and Luffy felt the same at this moment!

"Sorry Uta!"

Tezulo walked up and gently touched Uta's head, smiling and comforting him.

"Don't worry, I promise this isn't our final farewell. This is my home turf, and no one can defeat me in Golden City!"

Tezoro was already prepared. If Uta refused to leave, he would knock her out or control her and take her away by force.

Stella, who also refused to leave and wanted to stay and fight together, was turned into a "little golden man" by him and arranged for Bakara and Dais to be sent away directly by submarine. Uta, like Stella, was also targeted by the World Government. Tesoro felt that he had to send them all to Bird's Nest Island first, so that he could go to war with the World Government without any scruples!

Luffy stood up, patted his butt, walked forward, took the life card from Tesoro's hand for guidance, and said with a smile.

"Uncle, we've accepted this commission, but no reward is required. Uta is also my family! I will definitely protect her!"

"Really? Then I'll leave Uta in your hands!"

Tezulo said with a smile.

"Hey! Luffy!"

"Ahhhh! Damn it! Do you know what you're rejecting?!"

"That's 100 billion Baileys!"

"Idiot Captain!!"

Nami, Sanji, Usopp and Chopper all went crazy at the same time, while Robin, Kaku and Zoro shook their heads and smiled helplessly, feeling that this decision was very Luffy.

Just as everyone was making noise, a cold voice came from the side.

"If we let our targets escape, we'd be in real trouble."

Everyone turned around and saw three figures slowly walking towards them. When they saw the appearance of the person in the lead, Luffy and Uta widened their eyes at the same time.

"Shanks?!"
