"Great-grandfather, are they pirates? So many pirate ships, isn't that too impressive?”
Looking at the sea full of pirate ships, Luffy was full of excitement.
"Why? Do you want to own such a large pirate fleet?”Rashu glanced at Luffy and said slowly.
To be able to have such a magnificent pirate fleet in the East China Sea, there was no doubt that it was the Krieg Pirate Group led by Admiral Krieg, who claimed to be the strongest man in the East China Sea and had a bounty of 17 million.
However, in the original novel, after this pirate group of 5,000 people entered the Great Sea Route, they were hacked back to the East China Sea by one of the Seven Seas of Kings, the world's greatest sword master, Eagle Eye Mihawk.
How could he still have the aura of the strongest man in Eastern Sea?
Rashu did not even care about this huge fleet that relied solely on numbers without any quality.
When such a huge fleet reached the great sea route, other than providing experience points to the navy, it was useless.
Facing such a fleet, they didn't even need to send out their own experts. They only needed to send out a few warships with powerful firepower and fire a round of artillery at them.
"Hehe, forget about so many people. I only need a few companions.”Luffy smiled awkwardly.
If he had so many underlings, how much would he eat in a day?
Luffy counted in his heart. He had to eat three pounds of meat and two pounds of bread a day…
Five thousand people…
Who could afford this!
Having eight or ten companions was enough.
"You brat…"
Rashu took a puff of his cigarette and looked at the approaching fleet. He said to Luffy,""Brat, go eat something first and replenish your strength. You'll be busy later.”
" Great-grandfather, you mean…" Luffy immediately understood what Roseau meant when he saw Roseau staring at the pirate fleet. He ran to the small boat and carried a big bag of food prepared by the villagers of Kekeyaxi Village.
"Hehe, great-grandfather, just wait and see this time.”
Although there were a few thousand people on the other side, just the number alone was not enough to scare Luffy.
Besides, after losing to Shen Ping yesterday, Luffy really wanted to find a chance to vent his grievances.
Now, the opportunity had finally come.
It was fine if he couldn't defeat the Seventh Martial Artist Hai Shenping, but how could he not defeat you?
Looking at Luffy's excited face, Rashu was very satisfied.
If this kid couldn't work for him, then what was the point of bringing him out?
"By the way, great-grandfather, when you suddenly disappeared at sea, were you really not here to persuade me?”After eating a roasted chicken, Luffy wiped the grease from his mouth and suddenly asked.
Until now, he had not given up.
No matter what, I'm still your great-grandson.
Even if I don't want to be in the navy according to your wishes, I'm just asking you to put in a good word for me.
Was it that difficult?
Luffy looked at Rashu with anticipation.
"As a lobbyist for you? Do you really want that girl to be your navigator?”Rashu smiled as he looked at Luffy.
"Yes, of course." The corners of Rashu's mouth curled into a silly smile.
"Then when you go out to sea, how about your great-grandfather be your vice-captain?”Rashu said.
"Great-grandfather is coming to be my vice-captain?!”The simple-minded Luffy thought that Rashu had really prepared this, so he quickly nodded and said,""Great-grandfather is so strong. It's great that I'm the vice-captain! If great-grandfather joins us, I'll be one step closer to becoming the Pirate King.”
Bang!
Rashu punched Luffy's head without any warning. After smashing Luffy into a pulp, he glared at Luffy and said,""You brat, how many times have I told you to find your own companions? Why do you always ask your great-grandfather to help you?
What? Do you want your great-grandfather to find Rafdrud directly and make you the Pirate King?
You even want your great-grandfather to be your vice-captain? You wish!"
" Hehe... No need... You don't have to do it. I'll work hard myself..." Luffy covered the bump on his head and laughed awkwardly.
Although the bump on his head still hurt, Luffy knew that he was in the wrong and didn't dare to shout.
"You little brat." Rashu shook his head. He turned his gaze toward the pirate fleet that was approaching from afar and lightly exhaled a mouthful of thick smoke.
After dealing with Colonel Ratty in Kekeyaxi Village, he tied up Ratty's men and walked back to Luffy's side.
Of course, he didn't forget to bring the sea map that Nami had meticulously prepared.
If it wasn't for Nami's map, he wouldn't have been able to find this island.
As for Nami's idea of going out to sea with him, of course, he rejected it sternly.
Rashu was actually very clear about this little girl's thoughts.
However, he had no choice but to reject Nami.
Firstly, Nami was still too young and underage. It was indeed inappropriate to bring her out to sea so early.
Secondly, the boat he and Luffy were on was too small. It would be inconvenient for a girl like Nami to get on it.
On the other side of the ocean.
More than 40 pirate ships were sailing on the sea in a majestic manner. Whether it was merchant ships or pirate ships passing by, when they saw this fleet, especially when they saw the logo on the fleet, they all turned around and ran, afraid that they would be targeted by this fleet.
At this moment, at the very front of the fleet, a large pirate ship was leading the way.
At the bow of the pirate ship, a muscular man in golden armor stood with his hands behind his back. He looked down at the sea like a lion patrolling its territory.
"Sir Crick! There was a small island 80 nautical miles ahead!”
Suddenly, a loud voice came from the sentry post on the mast.
"An island?" Crick took the binoculars from his assistant and looked up. A desolate island came into view.
"Pass down the order for all the ships to prepare to dock! After sailing for so long, he wanted his brothers to have a good rest and replenish their water.”Crick shouted after putting down the binoculars.
"Yes, sir! Admiral!"
Hearing this, the adjutant immediately ran down.
Looking at the back of the adjutant, Crick stood with his hands behind his back, facing the wind.
"In two years at most, I, Crick, the overlord of the East Sea, will have enough strength to conquer the great sea route!
Humph, whatever Roger can do, I, Crick, can do too!”
Crick, who was muttering to himself, naturally did not expect that an old man over a hundred years old was waiting for him on the island.
