Chereads / One Piece: New Luffy / Chapter 39 - CHAPTER 38: BIG NEWS!!!!

Chapter 39 - CHAPTER 38: BIG NEWS!!!!

As Luffy and his crew sailed towards Logue town, several places were undergoing changes due to his past actions.

East Blue, Vila Syrup.

A warship slowly docked at the port, and the disciplined sailors lined up and disembarked.

The ship's hull number indicated its identity as a warship of the Grand Line Naval Headquarters.

"Captain Smoker, we have arrived."

"Come on, let's investigate the situation at the Marine Base here."

A middle-aged man wearing a navy captain's robe stepped off the gangplank and led his team towards the city.

A lieutenant followed close behind.

"Vice Admiral Garp really knows how to be lazy, leaving the work to you, Captain."

"It's not a good habit to talk behind someone's back, Lieutenant."

Smoker shook his head and his expression turned serious. "And Garp has his own reasons for doing so."

As they entered the city and walked through the streets, they noticed that the people there occasionally gave them strange looks.

Smoker immediately stopped someone and asked what was going on there.

This action seemed to trigger something, and more passersby crowded around, clamoring in response to his questions.

The most common things they said were "Thank you, Luffy-sama".

Afterwards, they arrived at the 153rd branch base and directly summoned the highest ranking officer present there.

At the same time, in prison, he met a pirate with a bounty of 5 million, Alvida.

After a complete understanding of the situation.

The subject was not complicated, and was easily understood. The biggest question, however, was...

The lieutenant couldn't help but say, "Why does Vice Admiral Garp's grandson... call himself a pirate? Captain, what should we report to headquarters?"

This matter might be small, but it would bring shame to the headquarters.

"Before coming here, Garp instructed me to report everything truthfully."

Smoker pondered for a moment and took out a Den Den Mushi to make contact.

------

About that.

Cocoyasi Village.

The warship of the 16th branch in East Blue arrived after many days of delay.

They had a meeting with the 153rd Division Marines stationed here, and both sides had a "frank" exchange of their positions and opinions.

At the end...

"We can't report this to the superiors! Regarding Captain Nezumi's death, we can use the reason: 'glorious death in the operation to exterminate the Arlong Pirates'. What do you think?"

An officer from the 16th branch said this while handing over a gift.

Matt accepted the gift and nodded.

However, after others left...

"This is really rotten. The 16th branch is corrupt from top to bottom. They are a bunch of idiots. Luffy-sama is Vice Admiral Garp's grandson, how do they want to hide this?"

Matt, irritated, immediately grabbed a Den Den Mushi and reported all the information to Marine Headquarters.

------

Grand Line, Marine Headquarters, Marineford.

Vice Admiral Tsuru, who was already 74 years old, received the situation summary6 in East Blue.

After understanding all the contents, she immediately massaged her temples with a headache.

How did the foundations of East Blue become so rotten?

"Garp wants me to help him hide his grandson... If it was just a matter of the 153rd branch, it would be manageable, but he even beheaded the captain of the 16th branch."

Vice Admiral Tsuru sat in her office, clasping her hands, and after a moment of contemplation, she called over a subordinate.

"Send this intelligence report to..."

"Yes!"

Shortly afterwards, in a meeting room at headquarters.

Several high-ranking officers gathered around, listening intently to "Gathering King" Brannew's detailed description with serious expressions.

"Guys, the situation is serious!"

Lieutenant Commander Brannew placed several photos on the note board.

He had curly green hair, wore sunglasses, thick lips and wore a white and blue striped shirt, covered by a Navy cape.

"You've all seen the detailed intelligence information. The emergence of the Straw Hat Pirates in the East Blue is not something we can ignore."

"Look what this boy did..."

"In the town of Shells, he incited the people and held a public trial, publicly executing the captain of that branch, Morgan!"

"He defeated 'Clown' Buggy who had a bounty of 15 million berries in Orange Town!"

"He even led the sailors to find 'Hundred Plans' Kuro, who had been missing for 3 years, in Syrup Village, with a reward of 16 million berries!"

"So, he went to Cocoyasi Village and beheaded the captain of the 16th branch, while also exterminating the Arlong Pirates. Arlong, you must be familiar with him, right? He is a former member of the Sun Pirates, with a reward of 20 million berries!"

The expressions of the lieutenants, commodore, and officers present were subtle as they looked at each other.

One of them couldn't help but say, "That's not the behavior of a pirate. Although he calls himself a pirate, he didn't attack any civilians. On the contrary, the things he did..."

"I think they are very good."

He didn't dare say it out loud.

After all, he called himself a pirate, and in such a serious situation, he couldn't speak casually.

"I heard he's Vice Admiral Garp's grandson..."

"Is that true? Otherwise, why would the Marines of the 153rd branch obey your orders?"

"Still, he killed two captains."

"Maybe his intentions are good, but his actions are quite despicable. In a sense, he's even more terrifying than ordinary pirates!"

Clap, clap!

Brannew tapped his board again and added two more photos.

"Everyone, even if he is the grandson of the marine hero, even if those two idiots are the ones in the wrong, there are many ways to seek justice!"

"Monkey D. Luffy, with his identity, can directly contact the Headquarters. After that, everything will be handled properly under the 'procedure' rather than killing on his own."

"Maybe what he's doing is good, but his behavior is quite despicable!"

"So my suggestion is…"

-------

Grand Line, New World, a certain island.

A flying ship hidden in the forest.

On the side of the airship balloon was the logo of the world's largest news media, the world economic newspaper.

Right now, in the president's office.

"Morgans-sama, just now, the Marine Headquarters has sent out a statement!"

A journalist delivered a fax.

"A new reward?"

Morgans, curiously took the document and read it.

"Oh? Oh! So it's like this... Actually, there's something like this. Interesting! That's some good BIG NEWS!"

After reading the information, he dropped two wanted posters.

Morgans looked at the photos and the rewards listed beneath them, unable to help but laugh awkwardly.

"Hmm... In a place like East Blue, receiving such a large reward on your first wanted poster is impressive, keep following the news about the Straw Hat Pirates, I have a feeling they will be the hottest news of the year!"

After a pause, he waved his hand and announced loudly, "Now, let's hurry up and spread your portraits across the world in the shortest possible time!"

"Kuwahahaha!!!"

"Yes, Morgans-sama!"

As owner of the largest news group in the world, Morgans desires the direction of information dissemination.

He is one of the Six Emperors of the Underworld... Big News!

In a short period of time, millions of newsbirds flew out from various branches, flapping their wings and flying to all corners of the world.

This time, the delivery of the news didn't even require anyone to pay. It was delivered directly!

No need for newspapers that cost 100 fruits!

It's all free!

Everywhere they went, the birds dropped a newly printed newspaper and included two new wanted posters for anyone who saw it.

East Blue, South Blue, West Blue, North Blue, Paradise, New World...

The name of the Straw Hat Pirates spread around the world quickly!
