Luffy Died When He Set Sail, And At The Beginning, I Become The Sun God?

The arrival of the ship's doctor, the Straw Hat Crew, was warmly welcomed. Having a doctor on board was truly reassuring.

Chopper, the talking reindeer, was especially popular.

"Nami, is the magnetic force on this island fully charged?"

While everyone was welcoming Chopper, Luffy asked Nami.

Nami glanced at the compass on her wrist and nodded.

"After one night, the compass has stabilized. We can set sail anytime. Luffy, are we leaving now?"

"Let's go."

Luffy nodded, turned around, and smiled at the two who were seeing them off.

"Thank you, Dr. Kureha, Mr. Dalton."

"Have a safe journey."

Kureha just smiled, while Dalton offered his blessings. Then he remembered something and quickly said,

"A pirate named Ace came here before. He entrusted me with a message for someone named Luffy. He will be waiting in Alabasta for ten days. That person should be you, right?"

"It's me."

Luffy nodded.

Sanji, who was pulling up the anchor, looked curious.

"Ace? Who's that?"

"He's the son of the Pirate King, Roger. He was my sworn brother when I was a child, and now he's the captain of the second division of the Four Emperors, Whitebeard Pirates."

Luffy explained casually.

The scene fell silent.

Only the sound of the wind and snow howling remained.

Even though they knew their captain had relatives and acquaintances all over the world, they were shocked to hear that he was the son of the Pirate King.

Usopp couldn't accept it and held his head, saying,

"Ah, ah, ah, ah!! The son of the Pirate King?! Luffy! How many incredible relatives do you have!?"

Luffy laughed and waved his hand, beckoning everyone to board the ship.

"Alright, everyone, let's set sail!"

The group of people still couldn't believe it.

Dalton was also dumbfounded, due to brain overload.

That kid who ate the free meal, turns out to be Roger's son?

No, how could Roger have a son...

"It's unbelievable. The government back then killed countless pregnant women around the world, including some newborn babies, all wiped out."

Dr. Kureha muttered thoughtfully, "They actually left behind descendants?"

After some preparations, the four of them were ready to set sail.

At this moment, a strangely shaped large ship approached from outside the river.

With an oval-shaped hull, the bow of the ship resembled a hippo's head, wearing a crown on top.

There was a mast in the center of the ship, flying the pirate flag. As it entered the river, many people climbed up the mast to furl the sails.

There were also large gear-like structures on both sides, indicating that this ship not only had sail power but was also a steamship capable of sailing without wind.

On the three-decked ship, a man wearing thick winter clothing jumped down from the ship amidst the crowd's adoration.

The man was fat, with deep purple hair, a large mouth, and a cylindrical chin made of iron, even wearing an iron outer armor over his clothes.

After jumping off the ship, he opened his arms and excitedly said,

"I'm finally back, my homeland, my beautiful country, your king has returned! Cheer!"

"Wapol!!"

Seeing this person, Dalton's expression immediately became extremely ugly. "You have the audacity to come back!"

Many soldiers came down from the ship and quickly gathered behind Wapol.

Wapol's cheer abruptly stopped. He blinked his small eyes and saw Dalton in the crowd at a glance, immediately curling up his mouth.

"Isn't this the captain of my kingdom's guard?"

Behind him, the bearded man with an explosive hairstyle immediately reprimanded, "What's wrong with you people? When you see His Majesty the King, why aren't you kneeling and paying respects?"

"Are you Wapol?" Vivi couldn't contain her anger and stood up, "You have the nerve to come back? The country was attacked by pirates, but you abandoned the citizens and fled to sea with your people. You have no right to call yourself a king!"

"Who is this woman?" Wapol frowned, feeling somewhat familiar.

Luffy patted Vivi's shoulder and jumped off the ship, walking towards Wapol with a smile as he said,

"You guys better not mess with him. He's a king recognized by the World Government. It's okay, I'll lend you a hand, after all... I'm a pirate."

Seeing someone approaching, his attitude became extremely unfriendly.

Soldiers behind Wapol, as well as two fighters, stepped forward one after another.

However, before they could make any moves, a wave of Conqueror's Haki swept through the crowd in an instant.

In an instant, everyone except Wapol fell to the ground with their eyes rolled back.

"Who... who are you?!" Wapol was shocked. "Daring to attack me, do you know what you're doing? I am the king of the Drum Kingdom..."

"I am your father!"

Luffy grinned and unleashed a punch imbued with Armament Haki, smashing Wapol's round chin.

Spitting blood and screaming in agony, Wapol was sent flying by the punch, soaring hundreds of meters away and landing directly in the sea.

As a Devil Fruit user, he would probably sink to the bottom of the sea, enriching the diet of marine creatures.

Dalton stood there with his mouth agape in shock.

"No need to thank me. You can report to the World Government that the Straw Hat Pirates attacked the Drum Kingdom and killed the former king, Wapol."

Luffy waved his hand and leaped onto the Sunny, saying with a smile,

"Goodbye, future king of Drum Island. The rest of you can handle it however you want."

Dalton was shaken in his heart. "Mr. Luffy..."

"Hehehe~" Dr. Kureha chuckled and rubbed her forehead. "Such pirate-like style. Goodbye, Monkey D. Luffy. Stay healthy, Chopper!"

With the latter sentence, she bid farewell to Chopper on the Merry.

"Dr. Kureha... Aoo!"

Chopper burst into tears, crying and howling towards the sky.

Luffy grinned.

"Set sail, everyone!"

"Ooh!"

[You have sailed in the Sea of Paradise for 3 days. Reward: 300 Adventure Coins.]

Three days later, in the morning.

Luffy walked onto the deck and stretched lazily in the sea breeze.

According to Vivi's estimation, it would take about 2 more days to reach Alabasta.

He opened the adventure shop and, after many days, finally found a Haki fruit.

Buy it!

Eat it!

【Armament Haki】: Iv4→lv5

This time, not only has the amount of Haki increased, but also a new ability has been mastered.

He has finally reached the advanced stage of Armament Haki!

Clasping his fist, he wraps Haki around the surface of his fist, and the red Haki seems to flow.

Emission!

Just like Observation Haki, it is called "Mind Network" on Sky Island.

Armament Haki is also called "Emission" in Wanokuni.

Of course, there are slight differences between Emission and Armament Haki.

It is an advanced version of Armament Haki, a flowing Armament Haki.

At the moment of reaching Iv5, he comprehended "Emission" and "Internal Destruction" in addition to the basic "hardening" and "wrapping" of Armament Haki!

Let's not talk about Emission for now, what is really worth paying attention to is the latter.

[Internal Destruction]: It can emit Armament Haki, penetrate the surface of an object, and directly destroy its interior.

This way of using Armament Haki is very advanced. To give a comparison, it is similar to the "true damage" that ignores defense in games.

At the same time, when using Internal Destruction, hardening, wrapping, and emission can all be used simultaneously.

Luffy's combat power has undergone a small qualitative change.

Kaido, the famous mentor in the New World, once said: Haki surpasses everything!

Let's not talk about whether this guy himself ate a mythical zoan, but the importance of Haki in the world of pirates is unquestionable.

While pondering, there was a commotion behind him.

Luffy closed the adventure shop and turned around to look.

He saw Chopper carrying a bowl of prepared medicine, running from the barrier bridge of the Merry Go.

"Hey, Chopper, delivering medicine to Kaya."

"Luffy!"

Chopper concentrated on holding the medicine, suddenly heard a greeting and was startled, almost dropping the bowl.

"You have to drink it every day, only then will you gradually get better."

"Kaya's message, in the library, go quickly."

Watching Chopper enter the cabin, Vivi and Nami subsequently arrived on the deck.

"Luffy."

"Good morning, Mr. Luffy."

They greeted one after another.

Nami closed her eyes and sensed the atmosphere with her body, then smiled and opened her eyes.

"The weather ahead is good, it will be a peaceful voyage today."

"Don't let your guard down, Miss Nami. The weather in the Grand Line is unpredictable. Only in the waters near the islands will it be relatively stable."

"Don't worry, Vivi. We'll reach Alabasta in 2 days."

"Mhmm!"

The two women walked to the edge of the ship, breathing in the fresh air, feeling extremely relaxed.

At this moment, the sound of seagulls came from the sky, and a news bird landed.

The intelligence of news birds is high, with a news package hanging around their necks.

It used its beak to take out a newspaper from the package.

Vivi walked over and stuffed a coin into its mouth.

"Thank you, here's a hundred berries for you."

The news bird flew away contentedly.

Vivi picked up the newspaper and started reading, the smile on her face gradually disappearing, and her hands holding the newspaper trembled slightly.

"What's wrong?" Nami noticed her friend's small movements.

"Ah... Alabasta, there's a rebellion!" Vivi's face turned pale. "100,000 Royal Army soldiers have defected. The original Royal Army had 600,000, and the rebel army has 400,000. Now..."

The numbers on both sides are equal.

Her voice trembled, "King Cobra is in danger!!"

Father encountered an assassination by rebel soldiers!?

Nami was also surprised.

Luffy walked over, took the newspaper from Vivi's hand, glanced at it, and nodded.

"It seems that Crocodile acted in advance."

"Is it because the operation on Drum Island failed?" Nami hurriedly asked, "The Eternal Pose was given by him, and he also arranged assassins in advance, so he knows our location clearly.

The enemy is not stupid either.

Since the operation to eliminate Vivi failed, as long as we seize control of the country before Vivi returns, we can deal with a little princess later.

Vivi was very uneasy, "What should we do... Father was assassinated, and the news says that the royal army has erupted into a full-scale war with the rebel army, there's no time!"

"It's something we expected."

Luffy was not surprised by this.

"The content in the news happened yesterday, there's no use in being anxious now.

"Luffy-san..."

Vivi bit her lip hard, completely at a loss.

There are still two days until Alabasta, what should she do?

Maybe everything will be over when she returns.

What about the Marines?

We've already reported to the Marines, and it was to the highest level, Admiral Sengoku, what about their actions?

It has been eight or nine days since we reported from Whisky Peak, and there has been no feedback!

Vivi showed a look of despair.

"Luffy." At this moment, Nami said helplessly, "You must have a solution, don't bully Vivi."

Upon hearing this, a glimmer of hope appeared in Vivi's eyes as she looked at Luffy with an expectant gaze.

Oh dear, she has become a little fangirl now.

Luffy muttered in his heart and handed the newspaper to Nami, saying,

"It's too late to take a boat there, I'll fly Vivi over directly, and you all sail at full speed to catch up as soon as possible."

Upon hearing these words, Nami was immediately startled. She grabbed Luffy's hand and said nervously, "Are you planning to fly over there in your Niko form? And with someone else? Can your stamina handle it? Once your stamina runs out, you'll fall into the sea!"

At this moment, she was more worried about Luffy than her recently acquainted best friend or anything related to Alabasta. If she had to choose between the two, she would rather not care about Alabasta's affairs and not have anything happen to Luffy.

"Luffy-san!" Vivi was also shocked.

This is completely risking his life. Using abilities consumes stamina, not to mention that silver sun god form.

She had briefly seen it on Little Garden.

"It'll be fine, don't worry," Luffy smiled.

He had eaten the Sun-Sun Fruit, so even if he was rushing, he could maintain his Niko form all day without any problems.

As long as there was sunlight.

As long as he could catch up with the rotation of the planet, he could maintain it indefinitely.

"Nami, let the others know. I'll take Vivi and go ahead," Luffy said.

Saying that, Luffy immediately entered his Niko form. He grabbed Vivi's hand and leaped into the sky.

The next moment,

White flames appeared under their feet, like a beam of silver light, crossing the sky in the direction of the log pose.

In the blink of an eye, they disappeared.

Alabasta.

The capital, Alubarna.

King Cobra sat on the throne, expressionless, looking down at the Marines below.

There was a tall and sexy woman, with a cool pink middle-parted long hair and a pair of purple sunglasses on her forehead.

Naval Headquarters Colonel, "Black Cage" Hina.

"Your Majesty Cobra, the Marines have received a report that the rebellion in your country is being orchestrated by one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Crocodile," she said.

Her tone became serious as she continued, "The rebellion that broke out yesterday is escalating. Are you sure there's no problem?"

"No problem..."

Cobra coughed and looked serious: "(Li Hao Zhao) No problem, don't worry. And, Mr. Crocodile is the hero of our Alabasta. Do you Marines have any evidence to casually defame the Shichibukai?"

Hina remained silent for a moment. It was because there was no evidence that she came to see the king.

"But if your country's internal strife is not stopped, there will be a great loss of life. If you need military..."

"This has nothing to do with you Marines. Do not interfere in Alabasta's internal affairs. Currently, the citizens only have some misunderstandings about me as their king because it hasn't rained for several years. I believe they will soon understand."

Cobra smiled slightly and confidently said, "If there's nothing else, I have more important matters to attend to. Soldier, escort the Colonel out."

"Yes!"

Hina frowned helplessly. What could she do if the king didn't need her?

Being escorted out of the palace by the soldiers, Hina lit a cigarette and said, "I feel like something is strange. Hina is very puzzled."

Alabasta, a port city, Oil Flower Port.

Restaurant.

Ace was eating desert fried rice when the noise outside kept bothering him, causing him to furrow his brows.

The owner stood behind the bar and sighed, "I'm telling you, you better run. I won't charge you for this plate of fried rice. I also need to find a safe place to take shelter."

"Hmm? What's happening outside?"

"The rebel army and the king's army are fighting!"

"Is that so? This country is never peaceful. Too bad I have to wait for someone here."

Ace calmly continued eating his fried rice and grinned, "Don't worry, boss. I'll protect..."

Thud!

Before he could finish his sentence, his face fell into the fried rice.

"Dead... dead?! No, just sleeping!?"

The owner was startled, shook his head, and no longer paid attention to him. He promptly ran away.

(Note: The pronunciation of the female colonel's name is Hina, transliterated as Hina. Hina is the Japanese translation of the Chinese characters.)
