One Piece Demon Dragon

Chapter 76 The Golden Crown

"What is this?" When Usopp discovered that the treasure chest was not containing treasure, but an old lady, Usopp was stunned for a while and then quickly stuffed her back into the treasure chest and tied it with a rope.

"It's actually the same as when I first met William!" Seeing someone hiding in the treasure chest, Luffy remembered the first time he met William. At that time, William was also hiding in the treasure chest. And it was picked up by him.At that time, he thought that there would be delicious meat in the treasure chest, but it turned out that the hungry and emaciated William was hiding in it.

"That's right!" Nami said with some disappointment looking at the treasure chest.She also felt the same way when she saw William for the first time. She thought there would be treasure in the treasure chest on the pirate ship in Alrita, but there was only one person hiding in it. For a money lover like her, this was very heavy. hit.

"Throw it away!" William suggested directly after hearing the conversation between Luffy and Nami.Because of the awakening of the devil fruit ability, William is occasionally not very friendly to people other than his companions due to the influence of the demonic nature of the dragon.Although the awakening of the fruit ability should have given him amazing resistance and recovery ability, but in order to suppress the magic in his body, William's current strength is not as good as before he landed on Sky Island.

At least until he fully controlled the demonic nature in his body, William didn't dare to use his full strength to fight the enemy, and he didn't even dare to transform into a beast or beastman to fight.At present, only William in human form can maintain self-awareness. As long as William's emotions do not fluctuate greatly, he can suppress the demonic nature in his body well without being affected.

Regarding William's proposal, no one in the Straw Hats opposed it at all. They were pirates. Although they would not take the initiative to burn, kill and loot, each of them had blood on their hands.They are not philanthropists, nor are they a navy to defend world peace.

Although the actions of the Straw Hats have always been loved by the people, this is not their purpose.Defeating the evil dragon gang in the East China Sea is not for justice, but because their navigator, Nami, cried.Defeating Crocodile in the Kingdom of Alabasta was not for becoming a hero, but for Weiwei, a companion, not to be sad.

Because they are pirates, they don’t talk about justice with you, but they talk about friendship with you. The consequence of offending them is to become their enemy, the object they must defeat, even the navy that represents justice is no exception.

Although no one objected, when Luffy raised the treasure chest and was about to throw it into the sea, the old lady in the treasure chest suddenly begged for mercy and shouted in a panic: "Wait, listen to the old man..."

Although the Straw Hats are pirates in name, they have never been overbearing. Since the old lady in the treasure chest begged, they should give him a chance to speak.

"Who are you?" Since the old lady with unknown background was given a chance to speak, the first thing the Straw Hats should do is to interrogate the other party's background.

The old lady saw that the straw hats were willing to give herself a chance to speak, so she naturally told her experience in order to survive: "It's like this, the old man was unfortunately caught by pirates during the journey, and he was almost killed I did. Later, there was a storm... I had to get into the treasure chest!"

Although she still has doubts about the origin of the old lady, Nami only cares about the whereabouts of the treasure, and she doesn't allow the old lady to continue rambling and ask directly: "Where is the treasure inside?"

For Nami, this is a very serious problem. Although she has stored a large amount of gold collected from Sky Island in William's castle space and is also valuable, no one will dislike money.

"Thrown away by the old man!" The old lady told the truth without any concealment.The old lady didn't have the Devil Fruit ability to store external items like William did. In order to be able to hide in the treasure chest, she had to choose to throw away the treasures in the treasure chest. No matter how reluctant she was, her own life was more important after all.

"Then what should we do now?" After learning that there was no treasure, Nami asked other partners for their opinions helplessly.Without the treasure she wanted, Nami didn't want to continue to bully this old lady of unknown origin. They were pirates, not navy, and they had no obligation to save people at all.

After thinking about it, Usopp suggested a little bit unbearably: "Why don't you send her to a nearby island?"

"It's troublesome, just put her back in the box and leave it alone?" Hearing Usopp's proposal, Sauron's proposal was even more pirate-like.William also agreed with Sauron's proposal.

"Let me go! Are you going to kill this old man and throw her into the sea? Let me go! I beg you!" The old lady panicked as she mistakenly thought that the Straw Hat gang was going to kill her and throw her body into the sea Begging, talking a little incoherently.

"It seems to be too frightening!" Nicole Robin analyzed the old lady's weird behavior.It's no wonder that the old lady had such a reaction. After all, she was captured by another group of pirates before, but now she has fallen into the hands of the Straw Hats.

"It must have been frightened by Sauron!" Seeing the panic and panic of the old lady, Usopp glanced at Sauron and said accusingly.Sauron was the only one of the group who looked the most like a warrior, and the only one who never left his weapon.

"Why me?" Zoro asked angrily.Although he often scares people, and even scares people like ghosts and gods when fighting, he didn't scare the old lady this time.

"By the way, there is a treasure!" The old lady who mistakenly thought that she was going to be murdered suddenly had an idea, as if she had grasped a life-saving straw, she said hastily: "Let's make a deal! As long as you send the old man back, the treasure will be given to you." !"

"Treasure?" Nami, who was the first to react, asked suspiciously.Nami has always handled matters related to treasures calmly, and at this time, Nami's IQ is also the highest.

"Yes, if I let the old man go, I'll give you the treasure!" In desperation, the old lady could only reluctantly say, "It's a good deal, right? So just let the old man go!"

"Tell me in detail!" After calmly thinking for a while, Nami said to the old lady: "Tell me clearly what kind of treasure it is! Suddenly talking nonsense, no matter how you look at it, it seems strange?"

"Nami immediately calmed down when she encountered something about the treasure!" Chopper found that Nami was extremely calm at this time, and her IQ was also frighteningly high. .

Nami sullenly looked like a scary female devil, and warned in a threatening tone: "You know we are pirates, right? I don't need to tell you the consequences of deceiving us, right?"

In fact, Nami is purely to scare people. Except for vicious or life-and-death enemies, members of the Straw Hat gang rarely kill.Even if the enemy they face is the navy, in most cases they choose to escape or passively counterattack.Although the Straw Hats have long been famous for their viciousness, they have never done anything like burning, killing or looting.

"This is no longer a deal!" Usopp on the side saw Nami's gloomy expression and felt a little sympathetic to the old lady of unknown origin.Although Nami is just a navigator of their group, but when she gets angry, even the four major powers can be easily settled, and their captain Luffy will be less beaten.Seeing the frightened look of the old lady, Sauron next to him defended himself and said, "Look, I'm not the source of the fear!"

"The thing about the treasure is true. It is a story passed down from generation to generation. It is said that only the king of the sea is entitled to wear the golden crown!" Facing Nami's threat, the old lady dared not lie at all.But the matter of the golden crown is just a legend. In fact, the old lady does not have the real golden crown in her hands, and she doesn't even know what the golden crown looks like.

"The king of the sea?" When the old lady said that the treasure was actually the golden crown that only the king of the sea is entitled to wear, Luffy said excitedly: "It's a great title like One Piece! "

"So that's how it is!" At this time, William remembered the identity of the old lady. He knew that they couldn't miss the next adventure, because it was on the old lady's island that Luffy realized the second-level ability of the rubber fruit.And the second-stage development of the rubber fruit is a crucial method for Luffy's future battles, so they cannot miss this adventure.

As for the treasure, if William really exposed it, it would be meaningless.For William, as long as the Straw Hats complete this adventure, they can accumulate a wealth of experience, and William just needs to find a quiet place to find a way to solve his own demonic problems.
