Chapter 854 On Relationship
The Straw Hat Pirates got through the emotional ups and downs when they first got together, and their minds turned to the endless sea water and marine life around them. In the shallow sea, the visibility was not low, the scenery was still very good, and there were no large marine life and sea kings, so it was relatively safe, very suitable for enjoying the scenery and chatting. Besides, they hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they still had a lot to talk about.
"Luffy! Are you familiar with that Four Emperors Vic?"
"Yes! Vic is the savior of me and Ace! But what are the Four Emperors? Can they be eaten?"
Sanji was very curious about Vic, a big shot who had connections with several of their pirate group members. When he was reading the newspaper in the Kingdom of Transvestite, he also saw the news about Luffy and Vic being together, so he couldn't help but ask Luffy out of curiosity.
However, Luffy has always ignored the news in the newspapers. He has been practicing in seclusion for the past two years and has not paid any attention to anything happening outside. He doesn't even know what the title of the Four Emperors means. It's like when he was in the East China Sea and didn't know about the Seven Warlords of the Sea in the Grand Line. His cognition is always a step behind.
"The Four Emperors are titles given by the World Government..."
"Sanji! Why are you talking so complicated? Do you really think Luffy can understand? Luffy! The Yonko are the four strongest pirates in the New World, the big guys standing at the top, and they are on the same level as the white-bearded uncle you saw at the Marine Headquarters!"
Nami interrupted Sanji's popular science. In her opinion, it was too formal and Luffy couldn't understand it. She really understood Luffy's thought process and had been paying attention to the news about Vic, so she had some understanding of the structure of the New World.
"Oh! Uncle Whitebeard! He is really strong. He almost overturned the Marine Headquarters. Vic is also very strong. He even beat Akainu. Will we meet him later? I want to go and thank him!"
Originally, Luffy was going to go to Punk Hazard to learn about the New World and the Four Emperors from Law, but now, because of Wick, the Straw Hat Pirates have learned about it in advance.
"Luffy! Your connections are too strong. You have two Yonko friends, and your grandfather is a navy hero. Doesn't that mean you can walk around freely in the New World?"
"Walking sideways? Will I turn into a crab when I get to the new world? That seems very interesting! Hahaha!"
"Luffy! Your comprehension ability is the best in the world!"
"You may not know yet, but Luffy's father is the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, hehe!"
"What?"*7
When Luffy was a child, he heard the name of his son Usopp from Jesus Bu, and later told Usopp about it. Usopp would naturally learn about the situation of the Red Hair Pirates and naturally know the status of the Red Hair Pirates in the New World.
So he was amazed at Luffy, the captain who knew two of the Four Emperors. What's more, his grandfather was a naval hero. With such a background, he could really walk all over the New World.
But when they heard the new news from Robin, everyone was even more shocked. Only Robin was left, covering his mouth and laughing, and Luffy, who was trying hard to recall something with a confused look on his face. He had no impression of his father at all, and didn't have any feelings for him. It was like he had heard the name of a stranger.
There are few people who have not heard of the names of the Revolutionary Army and Dragon. The World Government has often reported their "bad deeds" in newspapers. In the eyes of Sanji and others, the Revolutionary Army is also a well-known force. The leader of this powerful force is Luffy's father. This news is too shocking, even more shocking than when Garp said it himself in Water City in the original work!
Because the Straw Hat Pirates have experienced more now and their knowledge has improved a lot, plus the two relatives of the Four Emperors laid out earlier, the effect is naturally different. Zoro didn't even realize that he had crushed the bottle of wine in his hand.
"I am a man who wants to become the Pirate King, and I can only do that by defeating the strongest of them, but I can save Vic and Shanks for last!"
"What? Didn't you just say you were going to thank Vic? And you also said you were going to return the Straw Hats to Shanks, and now you want to defeat them again, are you out of your mind?"
Luffy is not a person who likes to rely on his background. Although he has enjoyed a lot of conveniences brought by his background along the way and has solved many life-and-death crises with the help of his background, he will not take the initiative to use his background to do anything. He will have no regrets even if he dies on the way to becoming the Pirate King.
He has never relied on deep interpersonal relationships. Some people know that they have connections, but they don't use them. But in Luffy's mind, what is a relationship? He has no such cognition at all, and he has never thought about relying on it. Luffy is such a pure person. Maybe without these relationships, he would have fallen on the road to becoming a king early, just like the time when he was executed by Buggy in Rogue Town, but he would still smile, this is his nature!
On the Sunny, the members of the Straw Hat Pirates shared their experiences over the past two years. Only Sanji remained silent, leaning against the side of the ship and smoking. His experiences over the past two years were too horrible, and he was almost assimilated by that group of transsexuals. He's scared just thinking about it now!
When Chopper and Robin talked about their visits to Vic in the past two years, Nami's eyes were full of resentment. Why couldn't he come to see me? Robin went to see him, why didn't he come to see me? Why should we treat them differently?
Robin didn't say that Vic came to see her with her mother, so Nami misunderstood and thought that Vic was just going to see Robin. How could she feel balanced?
When Robin mentioned that it was Vic who sent the big bear that swatted them away, two flames rose in Sanji's eyes and a strong fighting spirit rose in his heart. It turned out that his hell experience was caused by Vic, so he must take revenge in the future. He was a knight who liked beautiful women, but he went to a country full of transsexuals. This was more painful than killing him!
You all have close ties with that guy, but Brooke and I are the only ones who are not welcome. One went to the hellish country of transvestite, and the other was captured and treated as a curiosity. Neither of them had a good experience. The situations of the others are much better than theirs.
Although Sanji's idea is not true, it does have some convincing logic that cannot be refuted.
Zoro is learning kendo from the world's greatest swordsman, Usopp also has a good master to help him, Nami went to the meteorological sanctuary Victoria to learn about weather, Chopper went to the medical sanctuary to improve his medical skills, Robin went to Luffy's father and became a guest of honor, and Franky went to Vegapunk's research institute to learn the technology of the world's number one scientist!
Luffy, who was treated the best, was taught by Pluto Rayleigh, and every once in a while, the world's most beautiful woman, Boa Hancock, would come to deliver food. How many world's firsts are there? Sanji was so envious. Although the place he went to was also the world's first, it didn't matter if he didn't go to the world's first transvestite!
Although Usopp didn't know Vic here, his father was a senior official under the Four Emperors Shanks. It is reasonable to say that Vic gave Shanks face and increased his treatment. Only he and Brook have the most miserable lives!
"There is only one Pirate King. Only by defeating those competitors can we achieve the final victory!"
Luffy's words were firm and decisive. Two years of training had given him strong self-confidence. Of course, even without training, he would never lack confidence. It was just that he had matured a lot after the Battle of Marineford.
