Sea restaurant, Bharati.

It is a floating restaurant located in the Sambas waters of the East China Sea.

It looks like a giant ship with fish-shaped figureheads at both ends.

Many people come here specifically to taste the delicious food made by the owner and chef Zepp, and even important figures in the navy come here to eat.

After sailing, this very distinctive sea restaurant appeared in front of Luen and others.

“Sgei! What a big fish!”

Looking at the unique appearance of Barati, Luffy drooled and shouted.

This kind of design can whet Luffy’s appetite just by looking at it.

“Ding ding!”

Just as everyone was about to approach Bharati, a whistle sounded.

“Hai, navy ships?!”

A warship much larger than the Merry, with a conspicuous naval emblem painted on its mainsail, quickly approached the Merry.

The moment he saw the warship, Usopp’s forehead suddenly broke out in sweat and he exclaimed in surprise.

“Tsk, I met an annoying guy.”

Zoro also felt troubled.

“Um?”

Luen was still looking at the warship with interest, and suddenly looked at Nami who was hiding behind him with amusement.

“Well, I’m used to it.”

Feeling Luen’s gaze, Nami subconsciously hid behind Luen and blinked, her pretty face slightly red.

Since Orange Town, Luen would protect her every time she encountered danger, which made Nami get used to it.

The moment she saw the naval ship, Nami subconsciously ran behind Luen.

But I have to say, I feel really safe behind Luen.

Nami pursed her red lips as she watched Luen move forward to better protect her behind him.

A sense of security is extremely precious to Nami, who experienced Bell-mère being killed in person in her childhood and whose hometown, Cocoasi Village, is still under the violent rule of Arlong.

“This is a pirate flag I’ve never seen before.”

On the deck of the navy ship, a man wearing a white patterned suit, pink hair, dark skin, and iron ring boxing gloves appeared in front of Lu En and others.

Looking at the Straw Hat Pirates’ pirate flag, the man narrowed his eyes.

“I’m the captain of the Marine Headquarters, Iron Fist Finbudi! Who’s the captain? Tell me your name!”

Finbudi raised his fist and shouted.

“I’m Luffy!”

Luffy walked forward and shouted.

“I’m Usopp!”

Usopp also came up to join in the fun.

“I’m the captain! The pirate flag was just confirmed.”

Luffy glanced at Usopp, then shouted, identifying himself as captain.

“I drew the pirate flag!”

Usopp said.

Hearing Luffy and Usopp’s antics, Rune’s smile turned a little strange.

I don’t know if Luffy did it on purpose, but when he met this obviously weak little character, Luffy’s self-introduction would only be “Luffy”.

But if he meets a strong character, Luffy’s self-introduction will be “I am Monkey D. Luffy.”

“Luffy? A little character I’ve never heard of.”

Finbudi sneered.

Finbudi, like Monka before him, is a navy who believes that title is everything.

“The nameless pirate group, what an eyesore! I might as well just sink you.”

Finbudi turned his gaze and looked at the other people on the pirate ship.

Then, he saw Luen not far behind Luffy.

“!!!”

Fennbudi rubbed his eyes, then looked at Luen’s face again with wide eyes.

Cold sweat began to break out.

“Oh my god, ‘King’ Lu En?!!!”

Fennbudi exclaimed, making sure his eyes were not mistaken.

“You are a small character, can you be called Iron Fist? The same title as the Marine Hero?”

Lu En looked at Fennbudi with interest.

He took the same title as the navy hero, Luffy’s grandfather, Monkey D. Garp, and paraded around Garp’s hometown, the East Sea.

He is just a lieutenant in the headquarters, but he is very courageous.

“Sgei! Lu En, you are really famous. Even the navy of the headquarters knows you.”

Usopp looked at Rune with reverence.

He is indeed a true pirate!

“……”

When Fenbudi heard Luen’s ridicule, the corners of his mouth twitched, but he didn’t dare to refute.

He only dares to use this title to satisfy his desire in the East China Sea, the weakest sea. If he were in the headquarters of the navy, he would be just an insignificant lieutenant and would not have any title.

But the man in front of him, ‘King’ Lu En, is completely different!

The owner of the Conqueror’s Haki! The super rookie who suddenly appeared!

Originally, as a small lieutenant in the headquarters, he did not understand the power of Conqueror’s Haki.

After all, after the formation of a balance between the three major forces of the Four Emperors, the Navy, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea, fighting between the possessors of domineering Haki has rarely broken out in this ocean.

But the World Economic News Agency’s report on “King” Luen also caused quite a stir in the Navy Headquarters.

Although Finbudi is inconspicuous in the Navy Headquarters, he is a member of the Navy Headquarters after all. The advantage of being in the headquarters is that some information can be obtained much more than in other places.

The qualifications of a king! Anyone who awakens is a powerful person with a great reputation on the sea!

It is rumored that even the three high-ranking admirals in their navy do not have such power.

Rumor has it that if one awakens this power, he or she will be trained to become the future admiral of the Navy Headquarters.

At worst, you can become a candidate for general.

He was so young, yet he had already awakened the Conqueror’s Haki. Even though he arrogantly called himself the ‘King of Heaven’, those within the navy who understood the value of Conqueror’s Haki did not say that he was overestimating his own abilities.

It is natural for people with the qualities of a king to be arrogant.

Rumor has it that the headquarters has already begun discussing how much bounty to set for this man, and there are even rumors that it will be a terrifying number beyond imagination.

These pieces of gossip made Fenbudi extremely jealous and envious. If he could awaken the Conqueror’s Haki, then he wouldn’t have to take the title of Iron Fist and indulge in his boasting in the East China Sea, the weakest sea.

Admiral of the Navy Headquarters! What an honor and power that is!

How come the person who awakened such a powerful power is a damn pirate?

But if he could catch this guy, would he be able to rise to the top?

Finbudi sometimes has such fantasies.

As a result, now I meet this super newcomer.

Looking at Luen who was looking at him with a half-smile, Fenbudi’s forehead was covered with cold sweat.

This man looked terrifyingly strong just by standing there.

Only after meeting him did he realize that he didn’t even have the courage to fight this man.

He remembered! Damn World Economic News Agency!

When reporting on this kid named Luffy, only his last name, Monkey, and the “D” that didn’t know what it meant were enlarged and bolded.

His attention was all on the name “King” Luen, and he had long forgotten the name Luffy, which resulted in him not recognizing the identity of the boy named Luffy at first.

What should we do now? He just said that he wanted to sink the pirate ship that the “King” Luen was on?

Cold sweat began to appear on Fennbudi’s forehead.

“Navy hero? Who is it?”

At this moment, Luffy suddenly tilted his head, feeling that this title was somewhat familiar.

“You don’t even know about the Navy Hero? Navy Hero Garp, this is common knowledge on the sea.”

Nami looked at Luffy helplessly.

At the World Government level, ‘D’ is an absolute taboo, and with the presence of Garp’s son, Monkey D. Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army,

So in the external propaganda, just like the Gol D. Roger in One Piece was changed to Goldo Roger by the World Government,

Garp is also known to the outside world as the Navy Hero Garp or Iron Fist Garp.

The name Monkey D. Garp is known only to a few people on the sea.

“Oh, it’s grandpa.”

When Luffy heard the name, he thought of many bad memories and shuddered.

“grandfather?!!!”

Nami, Usopp, and even Zoro showed expressions of disbelief.

Joseph and Johnny hugged each other and looked at Luffy in shock.

“Wait, wait, my mind is a little confused.”

Nami covered her head and shook it.

“Navy hero Garp is your grandfather? His biological father?”

Nami looked at Luffy in disbelief.

“That’s right, grandpa is very scary.”

Luffy thought of Garp’s behavior when he was training him. Even Luffy, who was usually a thick-skinned man, had a flash of fear in his eyes.

Luen looked at Luffy in amusement.

This family is indeed full of talents.

Garp’s son, Monkey D. Dragon, became the leader of the revolutionary army.

As for Luffy, Garp gave him an exaggerated training in order to make him a navy soldier.

Either throw Luffy into the abyss, exile Luffy to a rain forest full of wild beasts in the middle of the night, or simply tie Luffy to a balloon and release him into the air.

While training Luffy in this way, he also shouted at him to become a strong marine. It is conceivable how much psychological trauma this caused to the young Luffy.

Not to mention that Luffy met Red Hair, even if he didn’t, it would be impossible for him to become a marine under such circumstances.

“No matter who Luffy’s grandfather is, he is a pirate now and a man who will become the Pirate King.”

Lu En looked at everyone who was still in shock and concluded with a smile.

“That’s right! Hehehe!”

Luffy wiped away the shadow in his heart towards Garp, grinned and shouted.

“Bonds increase, entry loading progress increases.”

It’s easy to control Luffy.

Luen raised the corner of his mouth, then looked at the stunned Fenbudi on the opposite warship who was listening to them talking.

“I heard that you want to sink our pirate ship?”

Lu En saw Fennbudi’s look and smiled.

“!!!”

At this time, Fenbudi was completely numb.
