[Pirate] I! Orochimaru! I will never split! Chapter 030

The days at sea were somewhat boring. A group of people were rolling around on the deck, lost in thought. Orochimaru suddenly remembered that he still had an exquisite gift package he hadn’t opened.

While contemplating whether to open it now, Luffy’s excited shouts echoed,

“We’ve reached Loguetown! It’s the town where the Pirate King began and ended!”

A group of people looked at the town with longing. After Loguetown, it was the Grand Line, the place where dreams began.

They reached the port and dropped anchor.

Orochimaru began to assign tasks and prepare to distribute money, having them line up.

“Nami, you’re responsible for purchasing necessary navigational supplies, such as maps, clothing, and other common items. Here’s five million Berries, plus delivery fees, it should be enough. (´・ｖ・｀)”

Sanji, you’re responsible for purchasing ingredients, also five million Berries, since Luffy eats a lot.

Usopp, purchase some ammunition and novelty items. I remember you wanted to arm yourself. Two million should be enough.

Zoro, you need to buy two swords. Loguetown probably doesn’t have any Great Grade Swords, so two million should… be enough.

Luffy… hmm, just come back quietly after you’re done playing. Here’s ten thousand Berries for pocket money.”

Everyone was satisfied, even Luffy, who only got pocket money.

Where did the money come from? The Rat’s secret stash had hundreds of millions.

After distributing the money, Orochimaru said, “Dismissed!” Everyone went their separate ways, instantly like wild horses unleashed… Were they really that excited?

Only Orochimaru was left, aimlessly wandering through Loguetown. He suddenly spotted a green figure, tilted his head, and found it somewhat familiar, so he followed. He walked along the wall and looked at the person sitting on the rooftop, puzzled.

“Dragon?” Dragon looked at Orochimaru with a headache. He had just secretly come to see Luffy… and he was discovered.

“In a sense, shouldn’t you call me ‘dad’ too?”

…………Orochimaru was silent… What was wrong with the people in the One Piece world?

“Dragon, how’s Sabo? Didn’t he come with you? Luffy misses him a lot.” Orochimaru squatted beside Dragon, looking into the distance with him.

“He’s doing well, very energetic. He’s completely a polite bad kid, and he’s growing fast. He’s even made it to a leadership position with his own abilities. If nothing unexpected happens, he’ll be the next Chief of Staff.” Thinking of Sabo, Dragon’s mouth twitched and he had a headache. Why did he agree to help raise the child back then?

Orochimaru smiled. It seemed Sabo was doing very well.

“It looks like he plans to stay in the Revolutionary Army.”

“Yes, Sabo has liberated many countries over the years, and his abilities are excellent. His Haki cultivation is far ahead of Luffy’s. But he always thinks about you guys, especially you. Koala always complains to me about it, saying Sabo’s army talks about Orochimaru all day, more often than Luffy. Koala even said that when your bounties come out, she’ll have a good look.”

Watching Dragon’s incessant rambling, Orochimaru’s mouth also twitched.

“If possible… I don’t wish to be bounty-hunted… Honestly… I’m… quite afraid of Garp.” Orochimaru, who had lived two lives, was afraid of someone for the first time… Garp’s attacks were mental attacks…

Dragon thought of his father and instantly lost his temper.

“By the way, I’m curious, will the old man still chase and beat you when he sees you now?”

Dragon was silent, suddenly feeling a little pain in his face. Garp’s heavy love… only family members could understand it.

Orochimaru watched for a long time. Hmm, good… It’s better to avoid Garp. Sure enough, that old man doesn’t care about age when he hits people. He couldn’t even imagine being beaten by Garp in his current state… it would be social death.

Let’s get back to Sabo. “Ah… who’s Koala? Why didn’t Sabo come with you to send off Luffy this time?”

“Koala is Sabo’s partner, a girl proficient in Fish-Man Karate. She’s very capable.”

“Understood, childhood sweethearts.” Orochimaru nodded, like Jiraiya and Tsunade.

Dragon looked at the unaware person, thinking to himself, “Is there a possibility that the childhood sweetheart Sabo wants is you?” Of course, he didn’t have the nerve to say that out loud. Although he heard Ivankov say that Orochimaru wasn’t very concerned about his gender, the prerequisite was not to tease him. He coughed.

“By the way, Ivankov misses you a lot. A long time ago, he asked me to ask you when you’d go to Kamabakka Kingdom. He thinks you’re old enough, and wants to know if you’d like to try being a girl.”

Orochimaru smiled, “No need, I don’t have that plan for now. I asked Luffy before, and he still prefers a younger brother, or rather, I’ll consider that question when I want children.”

Dragon was stunned by Orochimaru’s bold words… Didn’t you think there was anything wrong? Why are you so experienced… You haven’t given birth… And you don’t need to become a girl to have children.

What Orochimaru was thinking was that Ivankov’s hormones could easily change gender. If he needed to cultivate children in the future, he could ask Ivankov for help to obtain fused cells and further optimize cultivation. However, he didn’t have that plan for now. But he wondered how Mitsuki was doing. When Orochimaru transmigrated, Boruto’s story had only progressed a bit, but it shouldn’t matter. After all, that child was a perfect artificial human born from the fusion of his own cells and many excellent genes.

Orochimaru was lost in thought, while Dragon’s mind was in a storm. Finally, Dragon couldn’t help but blurt out,

“You’re still young, you don’t need to consider this.”

Orochimaru blinked, tilting his head in confusion, “Huh?” (ㅇㅅㅇ❀)

Dragon coughed dryly, “In short, Sabo was originally going to come, but there were some problems with a kingdom’s army, so Sabo went to deal with them and can’t come for now. You’ll definitely see him when you reach the New World.”

“Oh… By the way, did you arrange that?” Orochimaru blinked, watching Luffy being sat on by a fat woman and tied to the execution platform.

Orochimaru was a little confused. He remembered that in the plot, it should have been Buggy, but Buggy was currently developing his Devil Fruit, waiting for a future day.

So who was this pockmarked fat aunt? Orochimaru had never met Alvida in this world. He was unconscious back then and was put in a box by Luffy. And unless it was a crucial plot point, Orochimaru generally wouldn’t explore the memories in his mind, so he didn’t recognize Alvida.

And because Luffy’s strength far exceeded the plot, Alvida flew even further, not lucky enough to eat the Smooth-Smooth Fruit. To get revenge on Luffy, she blocked him in Loguetown, and Luffy, due to a moment of carelessness, was again tied to the execution platform. So Orochimaru had reason to suspect that this plot was intentionally arranged by Dragon to create momentum for Luffy… hence the question.

Sure enough… Dragon guided a thundercloud with wind, making it float above Alvida’s head. When metal met lightning, electric arcs flashed from the sword.

And Luffy was smiling brightly.

“Orochimaru, Zoro, Nami, Usopp, Sanji, I’m sorry… I’m going to die.”

The Marines and many people below the platform stared in shock at the man who was smiling as he faced death.

As Alvida raised her sword, a lightning bolt struck the sword (you know, a human lightning rod). The execution platform shattered, and Alvida was struck, charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

Luffy laughed heartily, clutching his hat, “Hahahahahahaha, I really survived, I made a profit!”

Looking at Luffy, Orochimaru’s mouth also curved into a slight smile. The Pirate King, huh…

“No goodbyes, I’m leaving.” Orochimaru, seeing this rare scene, also decided to make a grand exit. He spread his wings and flew from the rooftop towards Luffy, directly picking him up with one hand… When he saw Zoro going the wrong way, he wrapped his tail around his neck and dragged him along, flying towards the port.

“Minna… The Marines are here, run!” Luffy laughed heartily, calling out to Sanji, Nami, and the others at the intersection ahead.
