Chapter 40 Orange Town
“Where is our ship?”
After eating the food Lingtian brought out, Zoro asked Luffy curiously.
"Since you've made such a bold statement that you want to become the Pirate King, you should have quite a few crew members."
"Where"
Luffy jumped to a high place where he could see the ship and pointed at the small boat he and Coby had been on before.
"Nani, what about the crew?"
When Zoro saw the ship Luffy was pointing at, he immediately felt like he was on a pirate ship.
“Just the three of us”
When Ling Tian heard what Zoro said, he chuckled and pointed at Luffy and himself.
The corners of Zoro's mouth twitched, but he didn't say anything. After all, he had promised Luffy so he wouldn't go back on his word easily.
……
"You are pirates, right?"
Just after Ling Tian and his friends finished eating, a navy officer said to them.
Although Ling Tian and his team defeated Monka, they were navy after all while Ling Tian and his team were pirates. At most, they would not tell the headquarters about Ling Tian's affairs.
"Yes, we are pirates."
Luffy had no concerns when he heard the navy's words, but directly told the navy that he was a pirate.
Moreover, it seems unlikely that Ling Tian would ask Luffy to lie. After all, people with Luffy's personality are not suitable for lying.
"Then please leave this island"
"To thank you for saving the island, we will not tell headquarters about your affairs"
The sailor lowered his hat as if to hide his embarrassment.
He also understood that what he did was somewhat inappropriate, but they were the navy after all, and they should have arrested pirates if they saw them.
"Really? You guys are really nice people."
Luffy didn't find it strange to hear the navy's words. After all, he was a pirate and it was normal for the navy not to welcome him.
Zoro and Ling Tian also followed Luffy towards their ship.
"Aren't you in the same group?"
The marine looked at Coby who was standing there motionless and spoke.
Coby was a little at a loss when he heard the navy's words. After all, he was once a member of the Alrita Pirates.
Although it was just cleaning, the navy's intelligence capabilities can still find out about this matter if someone brings it up.
Not to mention joining the navy, I would probably be thrown into prison the first moment.
When Luffy saw Coby's helpless look, he also wanted to tell the navy about what happened to Coby before and then beat Coby up to show that he and Coby were not together.
"woooooo"
Just when Luffy was about to speak, Ling Tian covered Luffy's mouth to prevent Coby from being beaten by Luffy.
"What are you doing, Ling Tian?"
Luffy pushed Ling Tian's hand that was covering his mouth away and spoke.
He didn't understand why Ling Tian wanted to stop him.
"Shut up, leave this to me."
Ling Tian walked directly in front of the navy and spoke.
"Coby wants to join the navy. Even though he is our friend, becoming a navy is Coby's dream."
"Are you kidding me? Are you pirates planning to place an undercover agent in our navy?"
A marine spoke without waiting for Ling Tian to finish.
He didn't believe that someone who was friends with pirates would willingly become a marine. There must be some conspiracy.
Ling Tian didn't care what the navy officer said, but continued speaking.
"I know you don't believe me. Vice Admiral Garp from the Navy Headquarters will be here soon. He will understand when you tell him."
"What? Grandpa? Grandpa will come here?"
"Not good, Lingtian, Sauron, let's go!"
When Luffy heard Lingtian say that Garp would come, he immediately pulled Zoro and Lingtian and was about to run away, because Luffy was very afraid of Garp because of his childhood.
"Boom..."
"It hurts..."
When Ling Tian saw that Luffy was trying to pull him away by force, he immediately smashed Luffy's head with a fist covered in armed color.
"Lingtian, do you also know the Iron Fist of Love?"
Luffy covered his head and said with some fear
因为卡普每次用武装色揍路飞的时候都告诉路飞这是自己爷爷对自己的爱。
So Luffy naturally thought that this was the Iron Fist of Love.
"Yes, this is my full love for you"
Ling Tian waved his fist and indicated that if Luffy dragged him away again, he would let him taste his iron fist of love.
"Gulu..."
While Ling Tian and the others were making a fuss nearby, the navy officers all swallowed their saliva.
What did they just hear?
Vice Admiral, Garp, who is known as the hero of the navy, would come here?
And the guy wearing a straw hat opposite actually said that Vice Admiral Garp is his grandfather?
Doesn't that mean the guy in the straw hat is Vice Admiral Garp's grandson?
"Did you hear that? Make Coby a marine."
Ling Tian beat Luffy and said to the navy
"Yes Yes"
The Navy responded
If Vice Admiral Garp really lets that kid named Coby join the navy, there will be nothing he can do.
Even if Vice Admiral Garp does not allow that kid to join the navy at that time, he can just arrest him directly.
After all, the powerful person is the purple-haired man, and this kid named Coby just looks weak.
"Um"
Ling Tian nodded in satisfaction after hearing what the navy said.
"Let's go, Luffy, Zoro"
After finishing what he needed to say, Ling Tian took Luffy and Zoro back to his own boat.
……
The navy stood at the dock and saluted as they watched Ling Tian and his men leave. Then they returned to the base and told the headquarters about Colonel Monka's atrocities.
Marinford, Marshal's Office
"What? There are such scums in our navy?"
When Zhan Guo heard the report from the Marines in charge of the East China Sea, he immediately became angry.
"I understand, you go down first."
Sengoku thought about it, then picked up the Den Den Mushi and called Garp
Because Garp took leave and returned to the East China Sea some time ago, Sengoku planned to let Garp handle this matter.
On Garp's dog-head warship
"Vice Admiral Garp, your call"
A marine brought a Den Den Mushi to Garp.
Garp took a look and picked up the Den Den Mushi in a daze.
When Garp picked up the Den Den Mushi, the face of the Den Den Mushi turned into that of Sengoku.
"Hey, what's up, Sengoku?"
Karp said carelessly
"Garp, the Navy branch in Shields Town in the East China Sea has something for you to handle."
Sengoku didn't care about Garp's laziness. After all, Sengoku and Garp had been colleagues for many years and knew Garp's character very well.
Sengoku told Garp what happened in Shields Town and asked Garp to take Monka to Impel Down.
After hearing what Sengoku said, Garp put away his carelessness and promised Sengoku that he would go to Shields Town to bring Monka to justice.
"Turn the ship around, destination: Shieldstown branch"
After Garp hung up the phone with Sengoku, he gave orders to his navigator.
Soon, Cap's warship arrived at the town of Shields.
"Vice-Admiral Garp"
Now that the colonel of Shields Town saw that Cap had actually come to Shields Town, he began to believe Ling Tian’s words.
"Where is Monka?"
Garp saw the vice admiral and spoke.
"Yes, Monka is now imprisoned in the base's prison."
The colonel immediately took Cap to the prison at the naval base.
Garp looked at Monka and asked Bogart to take Monka to his warship.
"Um, Vice Admiral Garp, there is one more thing."
The colonel said this with some nervousness, after all, the man in front of him was the famous naval hero - Vice Admiral Garp.
"what"
Karp took out a donut and stuffed it into his mouth.
Originally, he came back this time to stop Luffy from going out to sea to become a pirate, but when he returned to Windmill Village, he found that Luffy had already set off.
"Well, there was a purple-haired man who said you would let this kid join the navy."
The colonel pushed Coby out and spoke. Now he believed Ling Tian's words.
Coby was a little nervous when he was pushed out by the colonel. He really didn't expect that one day he would meet a big man like a naval hero.
"Oh, the purple-haired man? Any pictures?"
Garp looked at Coby with some curiosity.
“Yes, this is his picture.”
The colonel handed a photo to Karp. This was the photo he secretly took of Ling Tian.
Ling Tian also knew it at the time, but he didn't care.
"Why is Luffy with this kid?"
Garp looked at the photo where Luffy was photographed right behind Ling Tian and was a little puzzled.
He really couldn't understand how a big shot like Ling Tian could be with Luffy. After all, Luffy was just an unknown little guy.
"Have you seen this person?"
Garp pointed at Luffy in the photo and spoke.
"Yes... yes, I have indeed seen the Straw Hat Boy."
The colonel said as he looked at the straw hat boy who was being pointed at by the shop.
“So they went in that direction.”
When Garp heard that the colonel knew Luffy, he immediately said anxiously
Luffy has not been put on the bounty list by the navy yet, so as long as Luffy is captured, he can be prevented from becoming a pirate.
However, Garp also knew that he had a high probability of not being able to stop Luffy. After all, he was his grandson, so Garp knew Luffy's character very well.
What's more, Ling Tian seems to be by Luffy's side, so it is simply wishful thinking to want to bring Luffy back.
"Yes... yes, they seem to be heading towards Orange Town."
When the colonel heard what Karp said, he immediately told Karp Lingtian their direction.
When Garp heard this, he immediately rushed to his warship as quickly as possible.
"Bogart, speed up"
"Destination, Orange Town"
After returning to the warship, Garp immediately gave orders to his deputy Bogart.
"Yes, Lieutenant General Garp"
……
On Luffy's boat...
"Lingtian, I'm so hungry!"
Luffy complained as he lay listlessly on the side of the boat.
"Didn't you just finish eating?"
Zoro was also speechless when he heard Luffy's words. He hadn't eaten for so many days and didn't say anything, so how come this guy got hungry so quickly.
"I'll bring you food when we find the next island."
Ling Tian glanced at the listless Luffy and was speechless.
Although Ling Tian knew that the reason why Luffy was so hungry was because of his rubber fruit.
"really?"
Luffy's eyes glowed with gold when he heard Ling Tian's words.
"I have a bad feeling"
Ling Tianfei was in the air looking at Luffy with golden eyes and felt a little uneasy.
Luffy knocked Zoro away from the boat and started rowing quickly.
By the time Ling Tian reacted, Luffy and Zoro had disappeared.
"I wipe"
"The food is here. Why are you rowing so fast?"
Ling Tian complained while displaying his Observation Haki.
When Ling Tian sensed Luffy, he immediately flew in Luffy's direction.
On board...
"Hey, Luffy, what are you doing?"
Zoro was startled by Luffy's acceleration and could only grab the boat to prevent himself from falling.
As for Luffy, he didn't listen to Zoro at all and kept rowing the boat hard.
“The island is ahead.”
Soon Luffy saw an island emerging in front of him.
After seeing the island, Luffy paddled his boat even harder.
"Ahhh, Luffy, hurry up, stop now!"
When Zoro saw that the boat was getting faster and faster and was about to hit the house on the island in front, he immediately shouted to Luffy to stop.
However, Luffy didn't listen to Zoro at all. Because he had a body of rubber, Luffy didn't care about such things at all.
But Luffy probably forgot that there was an ordinary person on his ship, so he crashed directly into the house in Orange Town.
When Ling Tian flew to Orange Town, he saw Luffy lying on the ground, and Zoro was lying upside down on the ground.
"I'm going to chop you down"
Zoro stood up and was about to draw his sword to chop Luffy.
But at this moment a group of villagers gathered around with some tools in their hands.
Ling Tian probably also thought that it was because Buggy was not in the East China Sea that the villagers here did not leave Orange Town.
Thinking of this, Ling Tian flew down directly.
"Sorry sorry"
Ling Tian flew down and apologized directly to the villagers.
"What's the point of apologizing? You have to repair the house you destroyed."
An old man wearing glasses and yellow clothes pointed a harpoon at Ling Tiandao.
When Ling Tian saw this old man, he remembered who this person was.
In the original book, this old man is the mayor of Orange Town, and his name seems to be Bootle.
"Yes, yes, I understand."
After listening to Bootle's words, Ling Tian also agreed to help repair the houses destroyed by Luffy.
"Spiritual Art·Assistance·Repair"
Ling Tian waved his hand, and streams of spiritual power emerged, restoring the houses destroyed by Luffy to their original state.
"Are you also a Devil Fruit user?"
When Zoro saw Ling Tian restore the house to its original state in an instant, he asked curiously.
“No, I’m not.”
Ling Tian directly told Zoro that he was not a devil fruit user.
"Lingtian, I'm hungry"
Just then Luffy said directly to Ling Tian.
"dong dong dong"
Before Ling Tian could make a move, Zoro punched Luffy on the head several times.
Zoro knows that Luffy is the user of the Rubber-Gum Fruit, so he can beat Luffy without any worries.
"Okay, okay, stop messing around."
After Ling Tian saw Zoro beat Luffy, he no longer had the mood to beat Luffy.
"Oh no, oh no, the Buggy Pirates are coming!"
Just then a villager ran over and shouted.
When the other villagers heard this, they immediately ran back to their houses.
"Bucky?"
Ling Tian heard that there was something strange about the Buggy Pirates. Wasn’t Buggy practicing Haki in Wano Country?
Although it is very likely that Buggy has already mastered the Observation Haki and Armament Haki over the years.
But even if that's the case, Buggy should be in the New World.
