Uehara's punch was very painful!
This punch made Luffy doubt his life a little.
Because he was a rubber person, he would not worry about the pain of fists. Except for his grampa's fist, this was the first time he felt the pain brought by another person.
"Give me back Shanks straw hat!"
Luffy's arm suddenly stretched out and grabbed the straw hat on Uehara's head. He tried his best to take the straw hat back!
In fact, Luffy has several questions in his heart right now. His body was still very painful, but the straw hat was undoubtedly a treasure that he treasured as much as his life. The most important thing right now for him was to take back the straw hat!
Uehara did not stop him. He just let Luffy take back the straw hat. After that, he hit Luffy's body, directly knocking him to the ground!
"Remember."
Uehara slowly said, "In the future, don't say in front of our Baroque Works that you want to become a Pirate King. Only our boss can become the Pirate King, understand?"
"I don't want it!"
Luffy suddenly raised his head and looked at Uehara with a stubborn look on his face, "Pirate King... I'm definitely going to be one!"
"Oh."
Uehara reached out to pick up his collar and dragged him to Foosha Village, "Then let's find a place to have a good chat... Mr. Kisame, Miss Robin, you can go to work first!"
"Hehe..."
Kisame grinned and said, "Then you should take care of that kid! Let's go loot this village!"
After Kisame finished speaking, he turned to look at Nico Robin, "Vice President, can I kill everyone in this village?"
"Don't kill people."
Nico Robin shook her head.
After seeing the two of them leave, Uehara carried Luffy's body to a tavern and said, "The luck of this village is really good! If the one who came is our boss, we will kill everyone in this village and burn this village..."
"... bastard!"
Luffy clenched his fist and said with a gloomy face, "You guys have tarnished the honor of pirates!"
"Heh..."
Uehara knocked on Luffy's head and said with a chuckle, "Are you kidding me? We are pirates! Go to the Grand Line and find out how many people our Baroque Works has killed!"
"Bastard!"
A hint of anger flashed across Luffy's face. He said in a deep voice, "When I go to Grand Line, I will definitely send all your members flying!"
"I am looking forward to it."
Uehara pinched Luffy's face and carried his body forward.
Because Luffy was a rubber person, his face stretched out while his body was still on the ground.
Foosha Village.
Makino Tavern.
It was obviously not open in the morning.
However, the guest today seemed very rough today. He kicked open the door and threw a person in, "Hey, boss, give me a glass of juice!"
"..."
A woman with sleepy eyes quickly walked out from behind the tavern.
It was the owner of this tavern, Makino. It seemed that because she had just woken up, there was a trace of sleepiness on her face, and she looked a little cute.
Makino slowly rubbed her eyes and sighed as she apologized, "Sorry, Customer? It's not the business time yet..."
However, when Makino finished rubbing her eyes and looked up, she saw Luffy lying on the ground, and a hint of panic flashed across her face!
"Luffy! What's going on!"
"This kid said that he wants to be the Pirate King..."
A young man with narrowed eyes and a smile, spread out his palm and continued, "But in this world, only the boss of our Baroque Works can become the Pirate King. So I taught him a lesson..."
"..."
After a moment of silence, Makino slowly helped Luffy to sit on the chair. She raised her head and put on a smile, "I'm really sorry... The children in the village are ignorant and let the guests from afar laugh at us!"
At this moment, Makino was especially rational.
This was because Makino knew that this was not the time to argue.
Since their village's Luffy, who had Devil Fruit's ability, seemed to have been knocked down, she had to endure it and not provoke this pirate.
However, Luffy, who Makino helped, obviously did not give her face and opened his mouth, "I am not joking! I will become the Pirate King!"
"Luffy! Don't talk."
A touch of seriousness flashed across Makino's face. After Luffy closed his mouth, she looked up at the pirate and smiled, "Then the guest wants a glass of juice, right? It will be ready soon..."
"En..."
The young man walked in, sat on the chair at the bar counter, and continued softly, "Then I'll have to trouble the boss to be faster.
We will charge a million Beli fees every minute that delays our Baroque Works. This is the rule our Baroque Works boss set."
"... A... a minute? A million Beli?"
Upon hearing this number, a hint of surprise flashed across Makino's face. After she hurriedly appeased Luffy, she ran towards the bar counter!
"Would you please wait a moment? It will be ready right away!"
"I'm not in a hurry."
Uehara rested his arm on the table and looked at the busy Makino, "Anyway, the longer you delay, the more money I can take from you."
"..."
There was a drop of cold sweat on Makino's forehead.
Because she grew up in Foosha Village, and this was the hometown of the Marine hero Monkey D. Garp, very few pirates dared to offend it.
In the past, there were Red Hair Pirates who often stayed in Foosha Village, but those pirates would not bully the weak. So Makino had never seen such a pirate who bullied civilians.
"Where did the guest come from?"
While chatting, Makino wanted to test Uehara's attitude while hurriedly squeezing the juice.
"Alabasta."
Uehara did not hesitate and secretly leaked some information about Crocodile.
Makino's brows relaxed as she smiled and said, "I remember hearing Captain Shanks mention that it seems to be a desert country!"
"Red-haired Shanks?"
Uehara curled the corners of his mouth. When he mentioned the man's name, the smile on his face became wider, "Boss, do you know Red-Haired Shanks? Oh, yes, the little brat who was clamoring to become the Pirate King just mentioned that..."
"Captain Shanks is a regular customer of our Foosha Village..."
"I guess he won't come in the future."
Uehara interrupted Makino and said calmly, "After our Baroque Works defeated Shichibukai Jinbei and the Whitebeard Pirates, the next one to be encircled and suppressed is the Red Hair Pirates."
"Shanks will not be defeated by you!"
After hearing Uehara's words, Luffy shouted at him with dissatisfaction, "Shanks is very strong! I made an agreement with him. The next time we meet, I will return the straw hat to him!"
"Sir, here is your juice."
Makino hurriedly placed the juice in front of Uehara and looked at Luffy anxiously, hoping that he would not continue to say anything to provoke Uehara.
Uehara did not continue to care about Luffy. He just took a sip of the juice and continued, "Thank you, but this juice took up one minute of my time. When I left, the boss must give me 1 million Beli."
Makino, "..."
This pirate was telling the truth!
However, she was more worried about the news of Shanks and couldn't help but ask, "Have you seen Captain Shanks? How is he?"
"No, I haven't seen him yet."
Uehara sipped the juice in his hand and slowly continued, "He should be fine now, but not in the future... The enemies of the Baroque Works have never had a good ending."
Uehara slowly shifted his gaze to Luffy and said in a deep voice, "Don't be an enemy of the Baroque Works because the marine attacked our Baroque Works in Loguetown. In retaliation, the Baroque Works chose to loot the hometown of the Marine Hero Garp!"
"Lo-loot?"
Makino covered her mouth in panic.
"Yes, they have already gone. It will be too late if you go and inform them."
Uehara glanced at Luffy again and continued in a deep voice, "Hey, your name is Monkey D. Luffy, right? You must be Monkey D. Garp's family!
Fortunately, I punched you just now and brought you back. Otherwise, those two Baroque Works members would have definitely killed you!"
"..."
Luffy was silent for a second.
The next moment, he endured the pain and stood up to hold his straw hat. He said in a low voice, "I know, but I won't watch them rob the village!"
"Idiot!"
Uehara suddenly appeared next to Luffy and punched him to the ground. He continued, "You can't even beat me! My bounty is only 30 million, and their bounty is more than 100 million!"
After that, Uehara continued, "Looting Foosha Village, as revenge to the marine. It is an order issued by the boss of our Baroque Works. No one can stop it!"
This sentence was not wrong.
Because when Nico Robin reported to Crocodile, Crocodile disagreed. But Nico Robin said that Kisame was determined to do this, and she couldn't stop Kisame from making a big move.
Crocodile could only agree.
Crocodile was a little regretful to recruit Kisame into the Baroque Works. Since this guy joined, his Baroque Works became famous, and it was estimated that more and more enemies would be provoked.
Unfortunately, at this point, Crocodile could only comfort himself. Anyway, as long as the news that he was the boss was not leaked, other things didn't matter.
Now, Crocodile didn't know.
Foosha Village's straw hat boy had already remembered the boss of the Baroque Works, and he planned to settle accounts with this unknown boss in the future.
"Well, don't worry too much."
Uehara took a sip of juice and continued softly, "I have quietly leaked the news to the marine. The marines near the East Blue are all heading here. Our Baroque Works wouldn't have time to do too much and should be leaving soon."
"Is that so..."
There was still some worry on Makino's face. After listening to Uehara, she could not help but show a trace of gratitude.
Makino suddenly felt that she had misunderstood Uehara.
"Customer... is actually a good person..."
"Heh, what kind of good person am I?"
A bitter smile appeared on Uehara's face. He shook his head and continued, "Ever since I joined Baroque Works, I have been unable to turn back... Now, I can only do a few small things that I can do."
