Chapter 47: CHAPTER 45: To the Grand Line!! (Part 2)
Smoker, who was knocked to the ground, was unable to stop the Straw Hat Crew from leaving and could only watch helplessly.
The feeling of helplessness made him clench his fist.
After a while, a lieutenant led a large number of marines.
"Smoker-sama!"
"Don't mind me! Run after them! We can't let the Straw Hat crew escape!" Smoker gritted his teeth and gave the order.
"In the end, pirates are still pirates. Even if they are the grandchildren of a hero, once they set sail, they will become indiscriminate killers..."
He hadn't finished speaking.
A medical soldier examining the injured shouted loudly, "Captain, the civilians are fine, they just passed out."
"..." Smoker.
"..." The lieutenant.
The massive mobilization of marines and the commotion in the execution square finally made the people of Logue Town, who had been enjoying several years of peace, realize that something was wrong.
"The Straw Hat crew has arrived!"
"Run! If you don't want to die, run!"
"This is the cruelest pirate with the biggest bounty in the East Blue... What about the marines? Captain Smoker?"
Panic spread.
Countless people began to flee. The once lively streets were now... even livelier.
Because everyone was running.
Luffy walked silently down the street, and whenever people saw them, they screamed and ran away as if they had seen a ghost.
The treatment was completely different from places they had been before.
"Am I really that scary?"
He hadn't done anything bad, on the contrary, he had done some good things.
As the news about him spread...
Bartolomeo, the number one fan, immediately responded: "Luffy-sama, you're as scary as a demon, hehehe... Everyone who sees you feels scared and then runs away in panic!"
Luffy rolled his eyes.
"I've been wanting to ask this for a while now, but who is this guy?" Zoro looked at him and asked.
"Nice to meet you, Zoro-sama of the Straw Hat crew, right? I saw your reward poster yesterday!" Bartolomeo walked up to Zoro, bowed ninety degrees and said, "I am Luffy-sama's loyal subordinate, my name is Bartolomeo. Please take care of me!"
"..." Zoro looked disgusted and said, "Get out of the way."
"Yes, Zoro-sama!"
Bartolomeo, who was excited, still had a lot of energy.
At this moment, the sound of running in formation came from behind.
"The Marines are here!" Johnny turned his head and was startled.
"Luffy!!!" Garp came running, followed by many marines, each armed with firearms and even rocket launchers.
"Run!" Luffy laughed and started running first.
On the way to the port, when they were near the port, they saw Nami returning from shopping with bags in her hands.
"Luffy!" she shouted, "I heard a loud noise earlier and knew it must be you guys exposed."
"Get on the ship, Nami. My grandfather is chasing us!"
"Huh?! Grandpa?"
Nami instantly became nervous and looked behind Luffy.
Sure enough, she saw a Marine officer wearing a cape, smiling and chasing Luffy and the others.
(Is that Luffy's grandfather? Should I... should I say hello?)
Before she could understand, Luffy reached out and pulled her, bringing the three women to the Sunny.
The rest of the crew quickly climbed aboard the Merry.
"Are you guys back?" Sanji was the first to return, and when he looked up and saw the Marines in the distance, he smiled, "I knew it, the rumbling sound was definitely not right."
After a pause, Bartolomeo was seen: "Who is this guy?"
There is no time to introduce everyone.
Luffy immediately ordered, "Let's go, is everyone here?"
"Ah, everyone's here, Luffy."
The crew quickly raised the anchor and lowered the sails.
The two ships slowly sailed towards the open sea.
On the coast, the marines pulled into the harbor, and Garp smiled.
"You think you can escape like that? Bring me the cannonballs!"
He took a solid cannonball and fired it with his bare hands.
With a swoosh, the cannonball flew towards the Sunny, with power even greater than a warship's main cannon.
Boom!
Luffy swung his arm and directly crushed it.
"It's time to give up, Grandpa!"
"Hahaha... As soon as you enter the Grand Line, Headquarters will be after you, Pirate Luffy. It's not too late to turn back now!"
Garp laughed.
Upon closer inspection, this brat was accompanied by three women. Has he finally matured?
He would have been happier if he had made him a great-grandfather earlier instead of becoming a Pirate.
"Goodbye, Grandpa. See you on the Grand Line!"
Luffy waved his hand, a smile on his face.
"Vice Admiral Garp..." Tashigi spoke softly.
"He escaped." Garp didn't throw any more cannonballs and laughed with his arms crossed. "This idiot grandson gives me a headache. Now I'm going to be scolded by Sengoku when I get back. Hahaha!"
His laugh was full of pride.
...
On the deck of the Merry.
Suddenly, the crew looked at each other in confusion.
"Did we forget something?"
"What could we have forgotten?"
"Ah, that's right, we forgot something..."
"Someone's missing, Zoro."
"That's right, where's Usopp?"
Their faces turned dark.
At this moment, in the port of Logue Town, a long-nosed man carrying a huge package was chasing and shouting:
"Luffy! Did you forget deim? I'm not on the ship yet! Let me in quickly!"
In the sunny.
Kaya covered her mouth in surprise, "It's Mr. Usopp."
Luffy raised an eyebrow fiercely. How did they forget someone?
He immediately reached out to grab Usopp by the collar and pull him back.
Usopp, who was back on the ship, tugged on Luffy's collar and screamed with tears streaming down his face.
"Luffy, you bastard! You forgot about me on purpose because I didn't come with you sooner? You demon!"
"No, no, no, it was an accident. It was all accidental."
Luffy laughed a lot.
Kaya tried to calm the situation, "Stop strangling him, Mr. Usopp. Luffy is going to die."
Nami ignored the commotion and took the Grand Line sea chart.
"From now on, listen to my commands. Rudder full left, heading at seven o'clock, sail full ahead!"
Amid laughter, noise and commotion, the two ships sailed towards the Grand Line.
