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

The atmosphere appeared solemn.

Ace didn't leave either, just looking at Luffy, seemingly concerned about why Luffy wanted to stop him.

Time really can change a lot, even that idiot Luffy would say something like "Don't go, you can't beat him."

He has become calmer, no longer acting recklessly like before.

Watching his younger brother grow, Ace felt relieved, but not going was impossible!

Meanwhile, Luffy was deep in thought.

Unless he breaks Ace's leg and ties him up, otherwise Ace will definitely go.

Once he goes, he will most likely be defeated by Blackbeard and handed over to the Marines in exchange for the title of Shichibukai.

After that, the Summit War will erupt.

Should he go and save him then?

[In the world of pirates, once you eat the "Nika Fruit," your friends and enemies are determined.]

He remembered a post he had seen in his previous life.

Ace clearly belongs to the friend camp, and because of Ace, the Four Emperors Whitebeard Pirates can also be classified into the same camp.

So, if he can save him, he will.

The great chairman once said that he should have many friends.

Of course, aside from these considerations of interest, Ace and this body have a brotherly relationship.

It would be a bit unreasonable not to save him.

Of course, how to save him is also a technical matter.

Thinking of this, Luffy turned his head to look at Cobra and Vivi, and smiled, saying:

"Crocodile, I'll take care of him, any objections?"

Cobra was stunned for a moment.

"That Shichibukai was defeated by you, so it's only right for you to handle it as you please," Cobra replied with a smile.

Nodding, Luffy then put away Ace's vivre card and advised Ace:

"You should practice Haki more in the future, Ace."

He reached out his hand.

Ace hesitated for a moment, then shook hands with him, grinning.

"Next time we meet, let me see your companions too, Luffy!"

Gatherings are fleeting.

Ace set off on his journey to find Blackbeard, contented.

The few of them watched him leave the banquet hall.

Robin rested her chin on her hand and smiled slightly, "I thought you would break his legs."

"Am I that fierce? Robin, do you have any misconceptions about me?"

Luffy rolled his eyes speechlessly.

"Is it a misconception? I feel like if I were to run, you would break my legs, and even if I were tied up, you would forcefully keep me by your side~"

Robin's tone was filled with teasing from an older sister.

Luffy: "Don't even say it, you're really good at reading people!"

If Robin were to run, he would use violence to bring her back.

"It's different, you guys are different." He smiled helplessly.

"I had planned to die there, but since you saved me, you have to take responsibility, Captain Luffy~"

Is she doing it on purpose? Does she enjoy teasing me like this?

Luffy grumbled in his heart. This mature older sister has been like this since the first time they met, maybe Robin enjoys it.

"Just call me Luffy."

As he said that, Luffy took out a Den Den Mushi and quickly dialed a number.

"Hello, Grandpa?"

"Luffy..............."

Compared to the last time they spoke, Garp was clearly not as happy when he received the call this time.

"What trouble are you causing now, Grandpa?"

Luffy chuckled awkwardly. What's with these people, they're all so good at reading others!

"Grandpa, the next question is crucial."

"Did you cause trouble?"

"Just asking a question, does Naval Headquarters know what I ate... the fruit?"

"Deliberately omitting the word 'rubber'."

"After all, phone bugs are not 100% secure and there is a possibility of being eavesdropped on."

"And also considering Garp's reception environment."

Regarding this question, Garp remained silent for a moment.

"At least, the fact that you are a Devil Fruit user, our Marine intelligence department knows."

In other words, if Marine doesn't know that it was the Rubber Fruit he ate, it means that the World Government doesn't know temporarily either.

"Thanks, Grandpa."

After expressing his gratitude, Luffy cut off the communication.

"What are you planning, Luffy?" Robin smiled lightly, her beautiful eyes continuing to focus on Luffy.

"For the sake of world peace, I've been racking my brains."

Luffy shook his head and continued to enjoy the delicious food.

At this moment, a soldier from the guard team arrived at the entrance of the banquet hall. He didn't come in, but saluted and said:

"Your Majesty, Colonel Hina from Naval Headquarters requests an audience."

Marine Colonel?

Cobra was taken aback, glanced at Luffy, and refused, saying, "I am entertaining guests, please let her..."

"Let her in, I also have something to discuss with her." Luffy suggested.

Seeing him say this, Cobra immediately changed his mind, nodded, and gave the order.

Not long after, Hina walked into the banquet hall with several marines.

"What's the matter, Colonel?" Cobra invited Hina to take a seat and then asked directly.

"Your Majesty Cobra, I hope to hand over the criminal Crocodile to our Marine." Hina made a serious request, "Although it's not good to say this, it concerns the government's face."

Upon hearing this, Cobra immediately frowned.

Vivi gritted her teeth, her favorable impression of Marine plummeted.

After reporting for so long, Marine hasn't solved any problems. When Mr. Luffy and Mr. Ace defeated Crocodile, they suddenly came forward to take him.

"Marine!" she couldn't help but say, "Crocodile is a Shichibukai, what do you want to do with him?"

"Just now, he is no longer a Shichibukai. The World Government has stripped him of his title, regarding the crimes he committed in Alabasta..."

Hina is also helpless. She previously reported the situation to Sengoku, who then provided feedback to the World Government.

Considering the face of the World Government, the Five Elders demanded that Crocodile must be brought back.

How to bring him back?

Hina can only go to see the king.

She looks at Vivi apologetically and says, "Princess Vivi, I hope you can provide evidence of Crocodile's crimes."

Luffy laughs and says, "The face of the government? Is it because he committed many crimes in Alabasta that he was stripped of his title? Or is it because he, a Shichibukai, was defeated by pirates and lost his qualification?"

There is no need to think about this question. Of course, it is the latter.

The Seven Warlords of the Sea are recognized by the World Government as pirates with the legitimate authority to plunder.

Each of them possesses immense power that can rival that of a country.

Now, even a rookie pirate cannot defeat him. What use is he?

Even considering the face of the World Government, they still have to cover for Crocodile.

At the very least, the incident in Alabasta cannot be reported truthfully, or the news content needs to be altered to portray the government in a favorable light.

"What do you want to say, Straw Hat Luffy?" Hina furrows her brows.

"I have a proposal."

Luffy says, "If a rookie pirate defeats a Shichibukai, it will indeed embarrass the World Government. But this pirate will immediately become the new Shichibukai, which is a brilliant move by the government!"

As soon as these words are spoken, everyone present is stunned.

"You want to take Crocodile's place?" Hina says in astonishment.

"Why not? If even someone like him can be a Shichibukai, I am much stronger than him."

"Why?"

Why?

Of course, it is to conveniently save Ace.

You see, in the Summit War, the people closest to the execution platform are Garp and Sengoku.

Next are the three Marine Admirals in front of the execution platform.

And then, the Seven Warlords of the Sea!

As long as he participates in the war as a member of the "Red Side," when the three Admirals leave their seats, he can immediately turn against them and easily rescue Ace.

After all, Garp is a mole, so it would be easy to pretend and save someone.

When saving someone, strategy is also important.

It would be foolish to participate in the battle as a member of the "Black Faction" and go through five obstacles and defeat six generals.

In the end, he would have to fight against three Admirals and break through their defense line. Even if there is Uncle Kizaru and Uncle Aokiji inside, it would still be time-consuming and laborious.

Of course, all of this is based on the premise that he has eaten the Rubber Fruit without the government knowing.

So, he needs to ask Garp.

Otherwise, it would not be a participation in the war, but a participation in the Hongmen Banquet.

As for becoming a Shichibukai, he would have to obey the World Government's orders...

That's just a joke.

The next collective action of the Shichibukai will be the Summit War in over two months.

After the Summit War, he would just leave without caring about a useless title.

Besides, there is another potential benefit.

Once he becomes a Shichibukai, Blackbeard might change his target. If he changes his target, Ace might know to run away if he can't win, and he wouldn't choose to fight to the end for his brother.

Then there would be no need to fight the Summit War or save anyone.

Of course, this possibility is very small.

"I can't make this decision," Hina shook her head.

"Then let someone who can make the decision come and talk to me," Luffy casually continued enjoying his food. "Before that, Crocodile won't be handed over to you guys."

Pausing for a moment, he teasingly taunted her, "Or maybe you can try to take him by force? Of course, I suggest you at least send an Admiral over."

Upon hearing this, Hina glared at him in anger.

"I understand, I will report to the higher-ups. Well then, King Cobra, Princess Vivi, goodbye."

After saying that, she left the banquet hall.

As soon as she stepped out of the palace, she stomped her foot in frustration and lit a cigarette.

"So, being Vice Admiral Garp's grandson is quite something, huh? So arrogant! It's really infuriating!" Hina was very angry.

Well, this guy does indeed have the capital to be arrogant.

Even the wanted posters only allow for capturing alive, she has no means to deal with them.

"Colonel Hina!"

The subordinates waiting outside all rushed forward.

"Give me the Den Den Mushi!"

Naval Headquarters, Marineford.

Marshal's office.

Sengoku rubbed his temples with a headache and said irritably,

"Garp's grandson, this kid causes too much trouble!"

On the sofa, Vice Admiral Tsuru calmly drank her tea.

"Crocodile was taken care of?"

"According to Hina's report, he was defeated by Fire Fist Ace, but before that, he was already injured by Straw Hat Luffy."

"He can injure a Logia... Has he mastered Armament Haki? The rookies nowadays are truly remarkable." Tsuru smiled slightly, worthy of being Garp's grandson. "But what is the relationship between Fire Fist Ace and these two?"

"I'm not sure yet, but at least they are not enemies."

Sengoku pondered, "Fire Fist Ace is chasing after a traitor. This information from the New World shouldn't be wrong. This might be an opportunity!"

Others may not know, but how could he not know?

Fire Fist Ace is the bloodline of Pirate King Roger.

However, before this, they were all in the New World, under the protection of Whitebeard's name, so it wasn't easy to touch them.

"Put aside the matter of Fire Fist Ace. Straw Hat Luffy has made a request."

Sengoku explained the situation with the Shichibukai.

Vice Admiral Tsuru was immediately stunned.

This kid really knows how to cause trouble. She even suspected that the child might have been eyeing the title of Shichibukai from the beginning, deliberately taking down one to make room for himself...

It's not impossible.

Perhaps resolving the Alabasta incident was just a side benefit.

"No matter what his intentions are, he has indeed helped us. Following the procedures, it would be troublesome to deal with Crocodile, and it would waste a lot of time."

Vice Admiral Tsuru sighed, "At least he did a good deed."

Although they had different positions, she quite admired Garp's grandson.

"Making him a Shichibukai would perfectly resolve the situation in Alabasta."

Because we don't know if the Summit War will break out in the future, from any perspective, this is a good thing for Vice Admiral Crane.

Even the gods couldn't predict it.

Straw Hat Luffy specifically went to make dumplings just for that bit of vinegar!

If one could guess that, then it would truly be the future!

"What do you think, Sengoku?"

Upon hearing this, Sengoku shook his head helplessly. "Garp's whole family is a bunch of troublemakers! I proposed to the Five Elders that we leave this to you for now."

Nominating someone as a Shichibukai is something he has to personally go to Mariejois for.

Fortunately, these two places are originally very close.

Not long after.

At the peak of the Red Line, the location of the World Government, the Holy Land, Mariejois.

The headquarters building of the World Government, Pang Gu City.

Between powers.

Five elders stood or sat, frowning as they listened to the report from Marine Admiral Sengoku.

"So you're saying Crocodile really did those things?"

The speaker was dressed in a black suit, with white curly hair, a fluffy white beard, and a flat hat. He had a scar on his left cheek.

He is one of the highest authorities in the world, one of the Five Elders, Jayigorushia Satan Saint!

"The evidence is conclusive. Princess Nefertari Vivi of Alabasta personally infiltrated Baroque Works and investigated for two years," Sengoku nodded.

"The Nefertari family..."

Satan Saint shook his head.

This family was originally Celestial Dragons, and their ancestors were one of the 20 kings who founded the World Government.

The other four Five Elders sneered.

"So you're saying he planned this for at least five years?"

"Calculating the time, it was after Doflamingo stole the power of Dressrosa."

"That bastard Doflamingo started it!"

"Imitation criminals? How ridiculous!"

Doflamingo's success is because he is a Shichibukai, a Celestial Dragon. 800 years ago, the Donquixote Family was the royal family of Dressrosa.

Who do you think you are, Crocodile, to steal a country? Especially a big country like Alabasta!

Even if you succeed, you won't be able to escape the consequences.

At this moment, the Five Elders are quite disdainful of Crocodile's actions.

They don't know about the relationship between Pluton and Alabasta.

At this time, Sengoku ponders and says,

"Straw Hat Luffy, Garp's grandson, how strong is he?"

"Garp fought him in Logue Town. His grandson has mastered Conqueror's Haki and is also a Devil Fruit user. His combat power surpasses Crocodile."

Sengoku answers truthfully, without hiding anything.

"Conqueror's Haki?!"

The Five Elders are all surprised.

The rest doesn't matter; the key is the user of Conqueror's Haki.

"Will the events from over 20 years ago repeat themselves?"

"Garp's son went to join the Revolutionary Army back then, and now he's causing us trouble!"

"But considering his combat power, he is indeed a suitable candidate."

"If he becomes a Shichibukai, it would indeed be a more perfect solution to the Alabasta situation."

The key is to preserve the World Government's reputation.

A rookie pirate defeating a Shichibukai.

And a new Shichibukai defeating an old Shichibukai, the public opinion is different.

As for Alabasta, it doesn't really matter.

Just make a few changes to the newspapers.

Sengoku quietly waits for the decision of the Five Elders.

After some contemplation, one by one, they agree to this request.

The next day, news about the new and old Shichibukai, as well as the situation in Alabasta, appears in the newspapers.

On this day, Monkey D. Luffy's name resounds throughout the world!
