Chapter 256 Porusalino: I Bet... On the New Era!

Chapter 256 Porusalino: I bet on the new era!

Perhaps in the eyes of Shanks himself, who is a strong man, and the members of the Red-haired Pirates, a little person like bandit Sig is not worthy of their ordinary knowledge, let alone that the other party has not touched their bottom line of protecting friends. So they were indifferent to his provocative behavior.

But the young Luffy who witnessed this "famous scene" couldn't understand this - he only felt angry and sad. He couldn't accept that the pirate he wanted to be was so unmanly and unmanly. It's such a useless fact.

So he asked angrily, and Shanks patiently explained their concepts and thoughts to him, but little Luffy still couldn't understand, and just stayed silent and angry.

Everyone in the red-haired pirate group only thought that he was a child, so they ignored him for the time being and continued to drink and eat meat. However -

"Hey! What are you eating! Luffy!"

Captain Shanks was the first to notice Luffy's slightly painful swallowing action.

"Is it that box?! Did you eat what was in that box?!"

"That's an unknown devil fruit we grabbed from somewhere else! If you eat it, you won't be able to swim for the rest of your life!"

"Spit it out! Luffy! Spit it out!"

The panicked Shanks hurriedly grabbed Luffy's legs, turned him upside down, and then shook the latter's body vigorously, as if he wanted to shake out the Devil Fruit.

If the original plot of One Piece is followed, then Luffy will show the same characteristics as a rubber villain at this time, but...

"I, why am I so hungry suddenly, Shanks..."

…

As we all know, Devil Fruit will change the personality of the eater in the direction of the fruit they eat - such as the "control" of Doflamingo's Thread Fruit, the "laziness" of Kuzan's Frozen Fruit, and the "laziness" of Kuzan's Frozen Fruit. The “grumpyness” of rockberry fruits and more.

If the original plot of One Piece is followed, Luffy will later show the character traits of the "one-bone" and "toughness" of the Superman-type rubber fruit he ate. However, due to some arrangements by Porusalino, Luffy What Fei displays now and in the future will be the characteristics of this replaced Devil Fruit.

What devil fruit? Of course, it is the natural dark fruit that the "big pirate" Blackbeard dreams of!

Perhaps for the real evil Blackbeard, the effect of this fruit on his character is "darkness and evil", but for a kid like Luffy, the characteristics that the Darkness Fruit brings to him are like a black hole that swallows everything. Always hungry.

——Not at the level of a mortal like the future Big-Stomach Girl Joelle Bonny, but at a level comparable to the Tyranids who were dubbed the "Great Devourer" in "Warhammer 40K"!

By the way, Porusalino’s arrangements for the Dark Fruit started half a month ago——

"Nicole Robin! You woman, do you know what you have done?!"

In the CP9 chief's office on Judiciary Island, Rob Lucci, the captain of "Team 7" who was once seconded to the "Navy Deception Team" by Porusalino, suppressed his anger, cursed in a low voice, and put the verification in his hand The document was thrown hard on the luxurious mahogany desk in front of him:

"This Superman-type rubber fruit is an important cargo that is to be sent to the Holy Land Mariejoia for containment. But you went to the vault to check it, and the fruit was replaced! What do you want to do? Do you want to be punished by the superiors? Are we CP9, or do you want to betray the world government?!"

After cursing these words as if to vent his anger, Rob Lucci calmed down a little, paused, and then continued:

"I know you, a woman, have your own ideas about how to do things, but the Devil Fruit you replaced looks completely different from the Rubber Fruit! Do you think the bosses can't tell?! At least you can find someone who looks like him Yes!"

"Well, this Devil Fruit is a rubber fruit, and I secretly replaced it. Now everyone who knows about it can be trusted. Why should I worry about others being able to tell?"

The youngest commander in history of CP9, a secret intelligence agency directly under the World Government, a beautiful girl named Nicole Robin held her chin with one hand, shrugged nonchalantly, and said with such a relaxed smile, "Besides, this... The fruit cannot be sent to the Holy Land Marie Joa at all..."

"What do you mean?"

Rob Lucci frowned subconsciously.

"It's just a literal meaning, General Porusalino has already made arrangements,"

Robin stuffed the verification report on the table into the shredder with a smile on his face, "Also, you can prepare to go to Guanhao Island to find new members. Foz Fu's seat will be vacant soon. That's it. Personally, I think the guy named Nairo who was the top pick from the Donghai 677 training camp is quite good. Although his character is flawed, it is better to master it this way, and his strength is guaranteed..."

"..."

Rob Lucci looked at Robin, who was like the Riddler, speechlessly, and suddenly felt very tired. But before he could calm down his emotions, Robin opened the middle drawer of his desk with a smile and took out a stack of four-sided jagged green leaves that exuded a strange smell from an ordinary small box.

"...What...what is this?!"

Rob Lucci, who had eaten the animal-type cat fruit and leopard form many years ago, was completely unaware that when he said these words, part of his body had turned into an animal uncontrollably, and his tongue had already transformed into an animal. Rolling.

"Anything that cats would like..."

Robin laughed darkly, "This is the reward specially prepared for you by General Porusalino~"

…

As the hometown of the naval hero Lieutenant General Garp, the Windmill Village on the edge of the Kingdom of Goa in the East China Sea gave birth to many future big figures - but to be honest, when Porusalino arrived here, no matter how he looked at it, he felt quite Ordinary, no different from the small villages on other islands in the sea.

Porusalino just walked slowly on the road of Windmill Village, looking around. The villagers, who had not seen outsiders very often, were curious about his arrival, but they were not afraid. After all, although Porusalino does not look like a good person, the navy uniform on his body still clearly shows his identity.

Zhiyo——

Porusalino pushed open the door of the only tavern in the village and stepped inside. What surprised him was that this bar, which was supposed to host the red-haired pirates in the pirate plot, did not have a single table or chair inside at this time. There was only a beauty behind the bar who frowned and looked at what seemed to be a ledger. woman.

(It should be at this time, right? Didn’t I come at the right time?)

"Ah, are you a guest? I'm so sorry, we are closed today..."

The woman's name is Maginot, and she seems to have an unusual relationship with Shanks, but the details have yet to be verified.

Arriving in front of the bar, Porusalino looked at Maginot with great interest - in terms of appearance, she was indeed a beauty above the standard, but compared to the increasingly mature Robin, Monet and Reiju, There is still a certain gap. She has a gentle and gentle wifely temperament, which is very similar to Fina. If Shanks really had an affair with her, and the two even had a child, Porusalino would be willing to believe it. .

After all, there are examples in every world - strong men who are crazy about being cool and smashing the sky, and finally return to ordinary life, and the spouses they choose are all the "ordinary" Xiaojiabiyu.

"That—Mr. Marine?"

Although Porusalino was wearing a navy uniform that showed off his identity, he still had an oppressive height. His appraising eyes made Maginot feel nervous and a little embarrassed.

"Ah, I'm sorry, because you, boss lady, look very similar to a person I've heard of... But having said that, this bar is very interesting. There are no tables or chairs, and it's not open during the day... …”

Porusalino said with a smile.

"Actually, we were still open yesterday, but some unexpected situations occurred..."

Maginot smiled helplessly and said, "Anyway, I'm really sorry, Mr. Marine."

"You're too polite, boss lady, then give me a bottle of Jerez,"

Porusalino pointed to the wine cabinet behind Maginot, where there was a bottle of General Zefa's favorite wine, "I'll take it away."

"Eh?"

"Isn't it possible?"

"...Ah, it's okay, I'll give it to you right now!"

Someone actually bought a whole bottle of wine in the bar and took it away. Maginot was really surprised and surprised by this, but there was no reason not to do a serious business that was delivered to the door. Customers are free to have any preferences - don't say Porusalino was a marine, so she wouldn't ask any questions even from the pirates and bandits who came on weekdays. She was only responsible for providing wine.

"How's the business in normal times? Boss lady,"

Porusalino asked as if he was talking about something commonplace, "I think yours is the only bar in this village..."

Putting the Jerez Porusalino wanted on the bar in front of him, Maginot smiled and said: "Mr. Navy, you just arrived here, right? Our place is not a prosperous place, so this is the only one. There won’t be many outsiders in the bar, the customers are basically the villagers here, who usually choose to come here to have a drink after working for a day.”

"I see, that's it."

Porusalino nodded—it was indeed the hometown of Lieutenant General Garp, emphasizing peace.

"Why is Mr. Marine here?"

Miss Maginot asked curiously - she actually had a guess. After all, there were not many celebrities in Windmill Village, and the only celebrities were the heroes of the navy.

"Well, according to our navy's information, one of the legendary four emperors, Red-haired Shanks, appeared here after leaving the New World, so I wanted to come and see what's special here."

Porusalino told half-truths.

"Eh?"

Miss Maginot was stunned.

"New world? Yonko? What is that?"

Behind Porusalino, a tender voice sounded.

"Yeah, Luffy!"

Miss Maginot came back to her senses instantly and looked at the little boy who opened the door and walked in. He ran over and stood next to Porusalino, "Why are you here? Didn't you mean..."

"I'm here to help Dadan and the others get drinks, Maginot. She said she would give you the money when the time comes!"

Luffy said this without taking his eyes away from Porusalino, "Hey, now, uncle, what are the New World and the Four Emperors you just mentioned?"

"The New World and the Four Emperors——"

Porusalino frowned and looked at the kid next to him. It was true that Wang Lufei was right, but for some reason, he always felt a little weird.

Of course, he will still explain what needs to be explained:

"The great sea route that circles the entire world is divided into two parts by the Red Continent. The relatively safe sea area in the first half is called Paradise, while the extremely dangerous sea area in the second half is called the New World."

"Whether it is a paradise or a new world, there are countless pirates. After the death of Pirate King Roger, only four great pirates can stand out. Everyone thinks that a new Pirate King will be born among them,"

Porusalino chuckled, "Then, a few years ago, a big shot from the navy, the highest combat power of the world government, Admiral Porusalino of the Navy Headquarters, described them as 'dominating the new world like emperors', Also known as the 'Four Emperors'~"

"Eh?! Pirate Emperor?!"

Luffy was immediately shocked, "Uncle, do you mean that Shanks is also a Yonko?!"

"...Is that Captain Shanks actually such a powerful person?"

Miss Maginot also looked shocked, but after being shocked, she also looked at Porusalino again.

(Speaking of which, Mr. Navy, I seem to be somewhere...)

"Yes, red-haired Shanks, the youngest among the four emperors, but very powerful."

Porusalino laughed.

"Hmph, but it's me who wants to become the Pirate King!"

Luffy raised his fists vigorously. Although he was young, he already had the son of the Five Emperors.

Porusalino looked at him seriously, and then realized what was wrong with what he had been feeling——

So he asked with a strange expression:

"Kid, your name is Monkey D. Luffy, where is your hat?"

"hat?"

Luffy looked confused, "I don't have a hat, uncle, but Shanks is wearing a straw hat."

(Fuck! Where is the promised Straw Hat inheritance? Are the Four Emperors actually so stingy?!)

That's right, even though there was a scar on the left side of his face that he deliberately cut with a knife to prove his determination to go to sea, the Luffy in front of Porusalino lacked the straw hat of his soul!

"...So Shanks wasn't injured when he left? Luffy?"

"Injured? Why is Shanks injured?"

Luffy became even more confused.

(Fuck! Not only don’t you give me the straw hat, but you don’t even want to bet on your arm in the new era? I just want to give Luffy a fruit in exchange. Otherwise, you should continue as usual, redhead!)

Luffy didn't know what Porusalino was complaining about in his heart, so he said to himself:

"But uncle, you are right, Shanks is really strong! If he hadn't knocked me out yesterday, I would have almost eaten everything in the Maginot shop!"

"You have the nerve to say that, Luffy!"

Maginot said angrily, "You have eaten all the tables, chairs and tableware. I have to wait until these things are delivered from the city the day after tomorrow before I can continue to operate!"

"Hehe, I'm sorry, Maginot~"

Luffy smiled and said, "When my grandpa comes back, I will ask him to pay you the money!"

"Money is a small problem, but the big problem is that you can't eat randomly in the future!"

Maginot taught Luffy a lesson, "Speaking of which, Mr. Lucky Lu told you to drink a little seawater every day to prevent your ability from losing control. Did you drink it today?"

"Ah! I forgot! I'm going, Maginot!"

Luffy slapped his head and hurried out of the bar, completely forgetting to get Dadan a drink.

Porusalino watched Luffy's retreating figure calmly, his heart already filled with turmoil.

(So ​​Shanks, who was wearing a straw hat and having arms left, just left yesterday. All the tables and chairs here were eaten by Luffy, and Luffy had to drink sea water today...)

(Um……)

(Same as the original plot...)

(One...fuck!!!)

…

Although Porusalino was mentally prepared in advance for the consequences of arranging Robin to replace the rubber fruit with the dark fruit, he was still speechless when these consequences appeared in front of him.

However, based on some details that Maginot and Luffy accidentally said, Porusalino roughly deduced something, or to be precise, learned some information about the mysterious red-haired pirates.

For example, the fat man Lucky Lu, who always has a smile on his face and always has food in his hand, is indeed as hidden as many people suspected before he traveled through time - not just because everyone in the red-haired pirate group The first time he appeared, he and the imperial copy Beckman stood behind Shanks on the left and right, and because of his ruthless and decisive actions, he killed people (Sig's men) when he said they would kill.

By the way, Lucky Lu very specifically asked Luffy to drink seawater to suppress his desire to devour the Dark Fruit. This can also reflect that his fighting ability may be related to "eating", and may also be related to eating the Dark Fruit. Like Luffy of Fruit, he constantly needs to replenish food (or energy?).

In addition, compared with the original plot, the reason why Shanks did not bet his straw hat and one arm on Luffy was not because of any changes in Luffy as a child, but perhaps because the rubber fruit that represented Joey Boy's will was replaced by Luffy. It was replaced by the Dark Fruit of Pirate Overlord Rocks... In other words, Shanks is very likely to know the information about Joeyboy and the giant straw hat, and also understands the symbolic meaning of the rubber fruit.

Of course, this information that can be inferred is basically based on the fact that the red hair himself is not so "innocent". In other words, Porusalino regards the red hair as a real big pirate. , not simply Wang Lufei’s guiding mentor, and the “romantic White Moonlight” in the hearts of some One Piece fans before he traveled through time.

This is actually very reasonable. After all, as a naval admiral, Porusalino knows very well that although the "lawful good" red-haired pirates help the weak, protect civilians, and maintain friendship--but since they can have them in the new world The status of the Four Emperors must have been achieved through battle after battle. Everyone has blood on their hands, and no one can guarantee that they have not harmed innocent people.

It's like the Whitebeard Pirates consider every member to be a family member, but can a family member like Marco be the same as an ordinary family member when the White Beard Group really needs to make a key decision?

By the same token, in another ninja world, is the kindly old man, the Third Hokage, really so "white" in Naruto's eyes?

It's not because of Porusalino's conspiracy theories or dark thoughts, but because as a time traveler, he has also reached a high enough position in the pirate world, and he has come to understand more and more that the bigger the person, the less able to detail some things. Think about it, after all, human beings are complex...

But, even so, based on his intuition and recognition of Shanks himself, Porusalino still believed that the latter would not be really "black". Or in other words, even if Luffy's situation is not as special as in the original plot (D's will + rubber fruit + Garp's grandson + dragon's son), once little Luffy is really in danger of life, Shanks will still Risking it to save him - but with the hat that symbolizes the will of Roger the Pirate King, Shanks may not necessarily give it to Luffy, an "ordinary" child.

After all, no one can ignore the special characteristics of the rubber fruit, the Nika fruit. At the same time, it is the combination of various subjective and objective factors that makes a man like Shanks willing to sacrifice an arm for Luffy. Thus begins a romantic story

Porusalino has not yet had a chance to test all of this, and rather than testing this information, there is currently a more important thing that he needs to deal with——

"It's the Neptune type!!"

"How could the King of the Near Sea...that be Luffy?!"

"Oops! Luffy is going to be eaten by the Sea Kings!!!"

Destiny has come full circle and returned to its starting point - Shanks, Luffy's idol in life, has gone offline, and the crooked mentor Porusalino has begun to connect!

ps: 5.6k! Thanks for the support!

ps: Hahahaha, I didn’t expect it! This plot!

ps: I hope you can understand my self-analysis of Shanks and Luffy’s plot~

ps: Actually, at first, I didn’t like to interpret Pirates in depth or think about these non-romantic elements. After all, I love this work so much, and I am so satisfied with the previous plot. I have placed high expectations on it for a perfect White Moonlight - but since Wano Country, it has been the speechless SB Oden family, and the rubber fruit has turned into a Nikka. The fruit, Shanks' meeting with the Five Old Stars, and various factors made me, a reader who is no longer an ordinary child, begin to think about the non-romantic elements in the work One Piece.

ps: In a word, personally speaking, the Wano chapter and SB characters like Oden really ruined the perfect pirate in my mind. It's still great and beautiful, but it's just no longer sacred.

ps: I found that some readers are asking about some pitfalls in the past, such as the world of Tiga. I can only say that the outline of this book still has at least 1 million words, and I have only written the beginning of the original plot. Why are you anxious? Including The Steel Seadramon previously given to Hancock will soon have a plot
