Logue Town, also known as the "Town of Beginnings and Ends".
It is located near the entrance to the Grand Line, and anyone who wants to go there can choose to rest and refuel here.
Therefore, this city is completely different from the places Luffy arrived in the past.
It is very prosperous, with several ships docking at the port all year round. They could be merchants, pirates or simply tourists.
Its geographical location determines that it is inevitably a military fortress.
That's why the Navy Headquarters placed an excellent colonel here.
Known as "White Hunter" Smoker, a user of the Logia Smoke fruit ability!
In East Blue where Haki users are extremely rare, their ability is invincible.
With him guarding the city, the pirates in East Blue are much weaker in terms of quantity and strength compared to the other three seas. Once they appear, they are easily targeted with precision.
At the port.
The Going Merry and the Thousand Sunny docked slowly.
"I mean, Luffy, shouldn't we dock on a more remote coast?" Usopp whispered from the Going Merry.
Does this idiot captain know he now has a bounty of 71 million?
There is no greater reward than his in East Blue!!
Once discovered, we can expect a large wave of sailors attacking.
"It's okay, only Zoro and I are wanted."
Luffy shook his head.
Dock on a remote coast?
There's no need for that.
They also have to provide someone to guard the ship.
They rarely make it to a busy city. After being at sea for so long, everyone should have fun exploring.
"Luffy, I'm going to buy two swords. The ones I had before were shattered by Mihawk."
Zoro said goodbye and was the first to jump off the ship.
"Don't get lost, Johnny, Yosaku, follow him."
"Yes, Captain Luffy! Leave it to us!"
The two immediately followed. They knew Zoro's sense of direction very well.
They almost lost the Thousand Sunny at sea before, almost being driven into a ditch by it!!
"Who would get lost!" Zoro turned around and complained, exuding confidence.
Luffy laughed, "Do you have enough money?"
When they were in Orange Town, Zoro received a third of Buggy's treasure, around three to four million fruits.
So, he just waved his hand and walked away without looking back.
He has money!
After Zoro and the others left, Sanji appeared with Krieg and Gin.
"Luffy, I'm going to the Marine Base to collect the rewards for these two."
"Thank you, Sanji. You are best suited for this job."
Luffy nodded.
He and Zoro are wanted, obviously Usopp is not suitable for usso. After thinking about it, Sanji is the most trustworthy among men.
Afterwards, Nami and the other two women went shopping together.
Girls have more things to buy, the latest in clothes, shoes, beautiful jewelry, even perfumes, cosmetics and so on.
At this, Luffy could only say that no matter what world it is in, women still love shopping.
He's not interested in joining in the fun. Even though he is the captain, he will end up being a pack mule.
There shouldn't be any male comrade who likes to accompany women shopping.
In the end, only two people remained.
Luffy looked at Usopp.
"Come on, it's just the two of us."
"No, I'm fine alone. Goodbye, Luffy!"
Usopp disappeared from Luffy's sight like a gust of wind.
"..."
Did I stay at the Thousand Sunny for a long time? Did I spend too little time on the Going Merry, causing a rift between us?
Luffy was thinking deeply and had to reflect on this question.
-----
On the other side.
Usopp ran wildly, thinking proudly, "With a bounty of 71 million, I'll be finished if I go with you! I'll definitely be targeted! Luffy, I won't hold you back! Ahahaha! I'm so smart!"
------
"Captain Smoker, the Straw Hat Pirates' ship has been spotted in the harbor!"
At the Navy base, an office filled with smoke.
Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Smoker immediately looked at the wanted poster posted on the side.
"A reward of 71 million, did they arrive so quickly?"
"Yes! Shall we contact Vice Admiral Garp?"
"No, don't contact him yet. I'll go see them myself!"
Smoker got up, put on his coat and left the office.
Monkey D. Luffy, capture only alive.
Monkey D Garp, the Navy hero.
Even a fool could guess his identity.
This time, it's not about capturing the other party, but about seeing how strong a pirate is with the 71 million bounty that appeared in East Blue!
"Oh, by the way, where is Tashigi?"
"She's following Vice Admiral Garp..."
Upon hearing this, Smoker didn't say anything else and left the base immediately.
-----
The famous landmark of Logue Town, the Pirate King's execution platform.
Luffy flew over the tall buildings and arrived here alone quickly.
He was on top of a tall building that surrounded the execution square, looking down at the execution platform in the center of the square.
"The place where the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger died..."
He didn't want to sit down and take a look, he just went to see it out of sentimentality.
Just like a popular check-in location in a past life.
However, after actually seeing it, there was nothing special about it.
"Isn't that interesting, come on... Huh?"
Suddenly, Luffy looked at the square.
"Why is he here?!" A hint of confusion crossed his mind.
People entered and left the square, which was full of activity.
But a tall, muscular, barrel-chested old man jumped onto the execution platform at once.
He was wearing a "Justice" cape on his back!
"Vice Admiral Garp!"
Under the execution platform, a girl with glasses anxiously shouted, "Please don't cause trouble, that place is a special facility of the World Government..."
"Hahaha, don't worry, Tashigi."
Garp laughed heartily and sat down cross-legged.
This scene immediately caught the attention of people in the square, and everyone looked over.
"Is that the Marine hero...Garp?"
"It's Vice Admiral Garp!"
"Vice Admiral Garp came to this city?!"
The crowd was shocked for a while, then burst into applause.
Every person's face was full of genuine smiles.
Tashigi was shocked to hear this. Was this the living legend? What immense popularity!
Garp smiled.
"Be quiet and stay a little further away if possible!"
With that, he took a deep breath and shouted, "Pirate Luffy, I know you're here, appear!"
Upon hearing this, the square became restless.
Tashigi was very surprised.
Pirate Luffy? The pirate who had a reward poster issued yesterday!?
On the top floor of the tall building, Luffy was momentarily speechless.
He knew that with Garp's Observation Haki, he would probably notice him as soon as he landed.
He was just curious as to why Garp was there.
"Do you still want to hide? You brat, I knew you were up to something when you left Foosha Village!"
"If you want to go to the Grand Line, you would definitely come here. If you come here, you will definitely come to this square!"
"Do I have to punch you to get you to show up?"
Garp blew air towards his fist, full of menace.
Luffy's mouth twitched and he had no choice but to jump off the tall building.
When the people around saw him, their expressions changed.
Although it had only been a day, the pirate with the highest bounty in East Blue was already well known.
"It's really Straw Hat Luffy!"
Tashigi immediately drew her sword from her waist and said nervously, "Vice Admiral Garp, please retreat, I will stop you!"
Garp: "..."
Luffy: "..."
Are there really idiots like that in the world?!
"Hahahaha..."
Luffy couldn't help but laugh, he looked at Garp on the execution platform and his tone became serious.
"Grandpa, are you trying to stop me?"
Grandpa... Grandpa?!!
Tashigi was immediately stunned.
