Chapter 32: As expected of Lu En! (New book, please collect it! Please give me flowers! Please give me a review vote! Please give me a monthly vote!)

Second Captain.

After hearing what Usopp said, Nami, Zoro and Luffy all looked at Rune.

Nami felt that Luen seemed to have been doing the work of vice-captain all along.

Sauron had no objection to this. Luen made him fully aware of the future path and how to realize his ambitions.

Zoro also admired Luen’s magnanimity.

He had no objection if Luen became the vice-captain.

However, the decision on the selection of the vice-captain still lies with Captain Luffy.

Zoro and Nami looked at Luffy.

Luffy blinked at this point.

Luffy still remembers that when Luen first became his partner, he fully agreed with his dream of becoming the Pirate King.

He also took a title that matched the right hand of One Piece, and was also the vice-captain of One Piece’s ship, ‘Pluto’ Rayleigh, ‘The King of Heaven’.

And in the following voyage, it was thanks to Luen that he gained two more companions, Zoro and Nami.

Luen himself is also very reliable, and he is indeed very suitable for the position of deputy captain.

But…

Luffy was a little confused again.

“It’s too early to talk about the vice-captain.”

Luen looked at Luffy, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

“Huh? Why? After becoming the vice-captain, you will be able to better command other members in battle, and your companions will also be more accepting of your command.”

Nami was curious.

Although Nami is only joining temporarily, the official members of the pirate group now are only Zoro, Rune, Usopp and Captain Luffy.

But in Nami’s opinion, there is no more perfect candidate for deputy captain than Luen.

Even Zoro, the famous ‘pirate hunter’ in the East China Sea, highly recognizes Luen and will obey his command.

The battle command along the way was basically decided by Lu En.

“You can become a vice captain not by becoming a vice captain to be recognized by your partners, but by being recognized by all your partners.”

Lu En’s mouth curled up slightly.

“snort.”

A smile appeared on Zoro’s lips.

As expected, it’s Lu En.

“So handsome, Luen.”

Usopp felt that Luen was glowing at this moment.

This is the real pirate!

“Besides, Luffy’s partners have not yet been assembled. Before the assembly is completed and before all partners have been recognized, it is too early to talk about vice-captain.”

Luen looked at Luffy, the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

This is probably also the reason why, in the original work, even after the Straw Hat Pirates defeated Kaido, BIG-MOM, and became the new Four Emperors pirate group, they still did not have an official vice-captain.

Luffy cherishes and respects his partners immensely, even those who have not yet joined.

Given Luffy’s personality, he will not confirm the candidate for vice-captain before all the partners are confirmed.

“Hehehe, Lu En, it’s great to have you as my partner!”

Luffy heard this and grinned, looking extremely happy.

This is where Luffy was struggling. He hadn’t yet gathered all his partners and obtained their approval before he was appointed vice-captain.

In Luffy’s opinion, this is not respectful to future partners.

Now that the deputy captain has been appointed, the companions who join his ship in the future will be the same as his subordinates.

There were no men on his ship, only companions.

What Luen said, “It’s not that you become a vice-captain to be recognized by your partners, but that you become a vice-captain when you are recognized by all your partners.” is exactly what Luffy thought.

When all the partners have been gathered, the one recognized by all of them will be his vice-captain of the pirate group!

“With Monkey D. Luffy’s strong approval, the bond has been enhanced, and the entry loading progress has increased.”

The loading of the Sun God (Super Gold) entry is another step forward.

Lu En’s mouth curled up slightly.

“Look at Lu En. As a captain, you should be more reliable.”

After hearing what Lu En said, Nami’s eyes showed something more.

But then he looked at the smiling Luffy and gave him a lecture with a look of disappointment.

“I’m very reliable at critical moments, okay? That’s what Lu En said.”

Luffy puffed out his chest proudly.

“You use Luen’s words to show how powerful you are. How can you be a captain?”

Zoro covered his forehead helplessly.

“Huh?! Is that so?”

Luffy’s face froze.

“Well, everyone gathers together because they recognize you.”

Luen couldn’t help laughing when he saw Luffy’s performance, but he still said something for Luffy.

Although Luffy is usually unreliable, he is still very trustworthy at critical moments.

Luffy’s personality charm is also very outstanding. Before going out to sea, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates had their own dreams.

But later, everyone added another dream, which was to make Luffy the Pirate King.

The reason why Luen joined the Straw Hat Pirates was not only to be able to load the attributes of Luffy and the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates, but also to rely on Luffy’s strong relationship to successfully pass the growth period.

One of the important reasons is that Luen admires Luffy’s character.

“Luen…”

Luffy was immediately touched.

“Don’t pamper Luffy too much, Luen.”

Nami said helplessly.

“Then Lu En, how do we find those pirates?”

Usopp was concerned about the safety of the villagers and looked at Rune with some anxiety.

“The current captain of the Black Cat Pirates is the former vice-captain of Crowe, the ‘Hypnotist’ named Zango, who has a bounty of 9 million Baileys.”

“If Kuro wants to command the Black Cat Pirates to attack here, he must go through Zangao.”

“If they want to determine the exact time of the operation, they need to meet.”

“Zangao’s behavior is very strange. He attracts attention unconsciously. If we go to the village, we should be able to find Zangao quickly.”

Lu En laughed.

Luen, who knew the plot, could easily solve the problem of the Black Cat Pirates by doing a simple reverse deduction based on the plot he already knew.

“Sugei! You are indeed a military strategist!”

Usopp looked at Rune with reverence.

When they first met, Lu En easily saw through his bragging.

He is powerful, has admirable character, and has such strategy.

Luen, he is indeed a real pirate!

“Then find that guy quickly and kill him!”

Luffy rolled up his sleeves and was about to rush out.

“Do you know what he looks like?”

Zoro grabbed Luffy by the back of the collar and pulled him back.

“Oops! I forgot about that!”

Luffy yelled, holding his head.

“I’ll go deal with Zangao’s problem, you stay here and talk to Merry about the pirate ship.”

Luen stood up.

The bounty is 9 million Baileys, and there is also the ability to hypnotize, so I should be able to gain something.

“Don’t worry, Mr. Luen, I will do my best to build a good ship for you.”

Meli, who was standing aside, said seriously.

Merry is Kaya’s servant, but more like a mentor and good friend.

Merry was extremely grateful to Luen and the others for defeating Clo and saving Miss Kaya’s life.

Naturally, we have to do our best to build a good pirate ship for Luen and others.

Of course, the Merry was actually designed by Merry when he was a child twenty-two years ago, and now the ship has been basically built.

But there are still some details that need to be modified according to the requirements of Luen and others.

“I’m looking forward to it.”

Lu En laughed.
