One Piece: New Luffy

Chapter 19: CHAPTER 19: Thank you for this



"Capture him!"

With Luffy's command, the Marines immediately sprang into action.

They now have complete trust in Luffy.

Click, click, click!

Several gun barrels were immediately aimed at Klahador.

The lieutenant acted personally, ignoring Miss. Kaya and forcibly pinning the butler behind her.

"Don't move, stay still!" The lieutenant said in a low voice.

The rest of the people around were scared and scattered to the sides.

Kaya, the girl in the wheelchair, looked surprised and said, "Wait a minute, was there a misunderstanding? How could Klahador be a bad person?"

Fighting against the lieutenant's repression, Klahador said angrily, "Is this how you navy people capture pirates!? What evidence do you have to say I'm a pirate?"

"Evidence? You'll find out soon enough."

Luffy laughed lightly, got up from the couch and looked at everyone. "Let me tell you a simple story first."

Everyone present was a little scared.

This officer's power was too overwhelming. Although he often had a smile on his face, his actions were quick and decisive.

Then they heard the "story":

"A few days ago, in the town of Shells, I executed a Navy captain named Morgan, who had committed many crimes."

"He was promoted to captain three years ago because he accomplished a great feat!"

"He captured and executed the captain of the Black Cat Pirates, Kuro of the Hundred Planes."

At that moment, Luffy stopped and looked down at Klahador, smiling.

"But it turns out that Morgan's strength was average at best, and Kuro, had a bounty of 16 million berries, it just didn't make sense."

"So I investigated the records from that time and discovered the problem."

"After secretly interrogating Morgan, I realized he was 'hypnotized'. He didn't actually capture Kuro, he just believed he did."

At that moment, Luffy took out an old wanted poster from his pocket.

With his words, the wanted poster unfolded before everyone's eyes:

Kuro of the Hundred Planes

Extremely dangerous

Alive or dead

Reward: 16,000,000 berries

"Kuro played a prank and escaped, making everyone believe he was dead. Isn't that true, Mr. Kuro?"

The last sentence was addressed to the butler, Klahador.

Kaya couldn't help but cover her mouth, her eyes were filled with disbelief.

Because the photo on the old wanted poster was almost identical to that of his butler, Klahador!

The rest of the people also exclaimed in shock, once again retreating a few steps and hiding behind the sailors.

"They look... exactly the same!"

"Mr. Klahador, then you are a pirate!"

"It's scary! Three years ago, this guy passed out at the entrance of the mansion, and Kuro and his Black Cat Pirates also disappeared three years ago..."

Upon hearing these whispers, Klahador, who was immobilized on the ground, felt a surge of anger in his heart.

Why now, at this critical moment?

Why did the sailors come to cause trouble for him, just now?

Why did this brat know he was hiding here?

No, he hasn't lost yet!

He shouted angrily, "There must be a misunderstanding somewhere! It's true that I look a little like the pirate on the wanted poster, but that doesn't mean I'm the pirate Kuro! I used to just be a member of the crew , not a pirate..."

On the sofa, Nami held her chin with one hand and said disdainfully, "Such a stubborn man, even in this situation, you still don't admit defeat?"

Zoro had no expression on his face, but he was prepared for battle.

A pirate with a bounty of 16 million... After three years, his skills should have improved, Muro would probably give him a good fight.

"Three times."

Luffy suddenly spoke.

"What?" Klahador's inner killing intent was hidden, and he stared blankly at Luffy.

"Since I came in here and saw you, you have used the palm of your hand to adjust your glasses. This behavior has happened three times."

Klahador's face changed drastically.

Luffy continued, "And Kuro's weapon is the 'Cat Claw' Sword. If you use the Cat Claw, you would actually use that kind of move. Kuro, a person's habits are not so easily changed."

Klahador: "..."

When he heard this sentence, he knew it was over.

Then, he lowered his head, and the glasses on his face reflected a white light.

"Klahador..." Kaya, who sensed the atmosphere, stared blankly at the butler.

"It's... it's you? Why?"

"Ha... seriously, life is always full of surprises."

Klahador, or rather Kuro removed his disguise and his voice became deep.

Seeing his expression change, the lieutenant instinctively took a step back.

And it was this intuition that saved his life.

In Kuro's hand, sharp cat claws appeared. In just an instant, those cat claws almost severed his neck!

"He really is a pirate! Captain Luffy didn't make a bad judgment!" The lieutenant still had a lingering fear.

"Hehehe..."

Kuro stood up, pushed his glasses again with the palm of his hand, and looked at Luffy, asking.

"How did you know I was here? I erased all traces of the past."

Luffy smiled and said, "The world is full of excited people. Someone reported that you were hiding here."

Upon hearing this, Kuro immediately thought of someone.

He suddenly focused on Usopp.

"Is that you? Because I always stopped you from getting close to my 'prey'?"

Usopp was completely stunned.

The situation evolved beyond expectations.

"No... it's not me..." he responded instinctively.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter now. Although the plan had some unexpected changes, nothing in the world is perfect. I just need..."

Kuro moved and suddenly appeared behind Kaya, the cat's claw blade pressed against Kaya's neck.

"Kill everyone!" He said coldly.

Kaya's face turned even paler with fear.

"Miss Kaya!" Usopp exclaimed worriedly.

So fast!

Zoro's pupils constricted. What was this movement now?

"What was that?" Nami stopped for a moment and instinctively looked at Luffy.

Why would this pirate have Marine Six Styles? No, it felt different, not as fast as her Soru...

"Put down your weapons, sailors!" Kuro threatened. "Otherwise, I can't guarantee what will happen to Miss Kaya's head."

The sailors looked at each other.

"Damn it! It's all my fault for not stopping him!" the lieutenant blamed himself.

But Luffy was laughing.

I was waiting for you to resist!

If you don't resist, like Miss. Will Kaya thank me?

If you don't resist, what will happen to my new ship?

Listen to me, thank you, Kuro.

And then, goodbye.

"Do you think it's fast?"

"What?" Kuro frowned, "Do you want Miss Kaya to die?"

"I'll give you one word: failure always runs through life. Kuro, you don't even have a chance."

Luffy said calmly.

At his words, he swung his arm and directly entered Gear Second.

Steam rose from his body, stunning Kuro momentarily.

And in that instant, Luffy made his move.

The speed of his movements was greater than Kuro's, too fast to be perceived by the naked eye.

Kuro's pupils constricted, and then he realized that Luffy had already approached him, a black fist rapidly enlarging his pupils.

"Jet... Pistol!"

Boom!

Kuro didn't even have a chance to react.

With a loud bang, he didn't even have time to scream. He flew backwards, directly colliding with the walls of the entire mansion.
