Chapter 18. Arrival at Loguetown, The spirit of the King of the Pirates".
At last, Percy, the Olympians, and Junior saw that the Straw Hats had arrived in Loguetown.
Nami explained that many pirates stock up in this town before heading to the Grand Line, so they can pretty much get anything they want.
Usopp is looking for cool stuff for his big adventure, Sanji would be looking for good food (and good women), and Zoro wants to get something for himself, but Nami reminds him that he's broke. Luffy, already ran off, wanting to see where the Pirate King had died despite not knowing where they would meet later.
Percy smirked, feeling happy that Luffy can fawn over something he was passionate about, someone he looks up to.
"But hey, do you want to see the place where someone died?" Groover asked confused.
"Idiot! For a warrior, it is important to honor those who came before us. It would be disrespectful not to." Ares bellowed while the Goddess of Wisdom shrugged.
At a clothing store, Nami wore several sets of outfits and the salesperson complimented her on each one. When the vendor asked if she was going to buy them all, Nami said no, claiming that she wanted something more casual, leaving the man in tears.
"That was bad, Nami. I was just doing her job." Hestia said a bit disappointed.
"Still, he was more or less an ass-kisser," Junior whispered, earning a smile from Aphrodite and a small giggle from Hermes.
"He sure knows how to do 'business'. I adore that girl!"
With Sanji, he walked down the street, admiring the town's women, comparing them to food until her eyes fell on a mysterious lady.
"Oh, Sanji…" Demeter sighed, shaking her head.
"Already?" Zeus groaned in disappointment. "This mortal is a complete womanizer."
"It's funny that, of all those present, it is YOU who says that, my husband." Hera rolled her eyes, earning a glare from the King of the Gods.
Now, with Usopp, the sniper was able to enter a store full of "cool stuff", which the vendor claims are from the Grand Line. Gold Roger even used a gun.
"...Huh. I thought Usopp would be able to catch lies like that." Hephaestus frowned slightly.
"Maybe I'll find something good." Tyson perked up.
"Sure, big guy." I'm talking about his brother.
At the marine base in the city, the marines have just received notifications about Luffy. A soldier quickly entered Captain Smoker's room, which was filled with smoke. In a chair was Rachel, trying to breathe clean air.
The soldier communicated the alert. At first, Smoker was not very impressed, even with Luffy's defeats; while Rachel is in shock. From what he had heard from Smoker and Tashigi, all the pirates mentioned were very dangerous the Arlong Pirates the most feared. Smoker told the two to shut up, blaming him for making him knock over his rocks. The captain stated that he works at his own pace.
Smoker opened a window (to the relief of the Oracle of Delphi) and asked again what he was saying. When the Marine repeated about a gang of pirates, Smoker asked him why he was so nervous and reminded him that since he's been in this position, a pirate hasn't been able to leave town once he's arrived.
"Smoker, sir, if I can say anything about it, there is always a first time for everything and…" the red-haired girl said.
"Ha, idiot, that's inevitable! Someday it will happen, but that day won't even be today... it won't be like this as long as I'm still the colonel of this island!" Smoker interrupted her, smoking two cigars at once. "You showed that you know how to defend yourself, but that's no use if you're not prepared to fight. Although... I don't think you should worry, since there are no real pirates, so to speak. Besides that, we find your island soon."
"Yes... Of course." Rachel felt bad about lying to the Marine colonel. She was somehow sent to this crazy world, but luckily she showed up in Loguetown. She was alone until Smoker and Tashigi found her while on patrol. She was taken to her base and there she told what she knew. Tashigi was furious thinking it was a pirate thing while Smoker just looked thoughtful. They arranged for Rachel to join the Colonel's unit in Loguetown as a volunteer until they found her house. But she knew it was impossible and she felt bad. Even though she arrived a few weeks ago, she had come to see Sergeant Tashigi as an older sister and Smoker… She had to admit it; she respected the man for his bravery and courage, despite being stubborn, grumpy, and, like her, very proud.
At that instant, another soldier entered the room, reporting that there were pirates that had been sighted in the port. The first soldier thought they must be Luffy's Pirates, so Smoker went to see them himself, though he didn't look at the reward poster.
"Dare, with me. I'll show you how to capture a pirate."
"Yes sir!" said the freckled girl, with determination.
On the streets...
Some of the gods decided to go on their own to explore the city.
"I have to admit, this island is beautiful," Athena said, quite satisfied.
"According to Junior, there was a gun store. I wouldn't mind seeing them." Hephaestus commented, looking for a said store.
"My ugly brother is right, although I am looking for that execution platform," I speak Ares.
At that moment they saw the soldier with Smoker and Smoker told him to request reinforcements. The captain refused, but when the man tried to tell him the benefits, Smoker told him to shut up.
The gods narrowed their eyes at him for being so rude to him.
Smoker asked where Tashigi was, and the man claimed that he had been out since this morning, and even that he had missed morning exercises. Smoker wondered where she was and called her a fool.
"What a beast it is." said the goddess of love in disgust.
"Be careful what you say, harpy; you are worse than him by far." Artemis replied.
"What say you, sexist virgin!" the two goddesses looked at each other like beasts while Apollo tried to calm his sister and Athena laughed.
"As you are..." commented the God of Thieves.
A girl was happily running around with her three-scoop ice cream, with her father following her, but soon, the girl tripped over Smoker and spilled her ice cream on his pants.
The father hastily apologized as Smoker stared at them.
The goddesses steeled themselves, while the gods already looked on hopelessly, expecting the worst from the Navy, like hitting her or making them pay with money, but...
Smoker put a hand on his head. "Sorry, kid. Looks like my pants ate your ice cream." He handed her some money. "Here, go and buy yourself five spoonfuls."
They looked at the captain in surprise, like the girl's father.
"That was...nice," Hermes's jaw dropped.
"...And a bit adorable," Aphrodite added, almost enamored by the tough marine's act.
"Unbelievable, did we find a good marine... who is alive? Because if so..." Apolo asked, wondering if that scene was really real.
"There must be some trick!" You are determined.
"But he doesn't have a reason to give him money. Smoker could have apologized." Athena reminded them.
"That guy... He seems to be a good man..." the Forge God said, rubbing his eyes and seeing that he was not mistaken.
It was as if a seed of hope had been planted within the gods, giving them hope that there are marines that the citizens can trust honestly, as they watched him go as he greeted the girl.
Later...
At the port, some pirates were robbing warehouses until Smoker arrived, asking who's the boss here. The pirate, Gary of the Crescent Moon Pirates, asked who the hell he is.
Smoker mistook him for Luffy.
When Gary ordered his boys to go after Smoker, the captain was surrounded by white smoke.
At a clothing store, Nami listened as the worker put her things in a bag and told her about Captain Smoker. She has claimed that he is one of the best soldiers in Marine Headquarters and that this town used to be full of pirates heading to the Grand Line until he was stationed here. He thought that he also claimed that people have been calling him a monster, even saying that he has a devil fruit power.
"How interesting." Said the satyr who was in the company of Clarisse and Thalia.
"Another guy with weird powers like Luffy, huh?" said the daughter of Zeus curiously.
"And that he is one of the best in Headquarters... I'm impatient!" Clarisse said excitedly.
Back at the harbor, the white mist disappeared, revealing that Gary and his pirates had been beaten and tied up with rope.
At that moment, Rachel arrived and saw a soldier congratulating Smoker for defeating the 'Luffy Pirates', but Smoker realized that these cannot be Luffy's, as they are not worth 30 million.
"He's fine, he's not an idiot." Rachel breathed a sigh of relief.
When she asks about Luffy, Smoker is sure that he will show up soon.
Almost as if on cue, Luffy appeared, wondering how he ended up back at the port. When he called Smoker, the captain thought he was one of them, but the Marine doesn't think so.
Luffy asked Smoker how to get to the execution platform, and Smoker admitted that he had never seen him before. The straw hat boy said that he just came here today, seeing that he was very different from Fuusha Village. When Smoker asked him why he wanted to see the gallows, Luffy simply said that he just wanted to see it, since that's where the Pirate King died. This seemed to have shocked Smoker.
Luffy was about to leave when he was initially met with silence, but Rachel stopped him and told him to look where the smoke was pointing. Luffy thanked him, already running.
"Wow, it's just like him..." thought the Oracle of Delphi amused.
What she didn't realize was Percy and Annabeth right after she left.
"There you are! Luffy, stop going off on your own!" Athena's daughter rebuked Luffy.
"But you've gone alone too..." the rubber pirate snapped at Annabeth making her face red with anger.
"That's where he got you, Wise Girl." Percy joked.
"You shut up, Seaweed Brain!"
"How weird you two are."
"YOU'RE THE WEIRD ONE!" both demigods yell at him.
With Zoro, he can't believe how expensive swords are. He remembered that he got a loan from Nami, and she wants him to pay her 3 times more with interest. He reminded himself that he can't borrow more money from her, but he needs more than one sword.
"Nami, that's so bad!" Hermes laughed.
Soon, he noticed a commotion between two things and a woman with glasses. The two want revenge on their boss and the woman is ready to fight back. The two of them laughed at her, and it looks like Zoro might have to step in to help. Just as the two men jumped into the air, ready to cut her to pieces, the blue-haired woman revealed her sword and was able to defeat them with two swings of her sword.
"Wow. So the woman is a swordswoman, huh?" Athena commented.
"We have to know how to wield a sword!" The God of War replied.
The citizens were amazed until she tripped and fell to the ground, her glasses slipping at Zoro's feet.
"Clumsy and swordsman is a bad combination." Ares criticized.
"O-Oh, come on, it was just a stumble!" Apollo tried to defend her.
"And why do you defend her?" asked the Goddess of the Hunt.
As the woman tried to look for her glasses, Zoro picked them up and was able to give them to her…until she saw her face.
The woman...was a striking image of Kuina.
There was a stunned silence.
"How...?" Athena's jaw dropped.
Hades? Apollo theorized.
Zoro was so shocked that he crushed the glasses in her hand, prompting the woman to demand he pay for them.
Luffy entered the scene, already lost, followed by a couple of certain demigods.
"Are you lost again?" Annabeth sighed.
"If only you followed Annabeth's lead…" Percy shrugged.
"It's her, who doesn't know how to indicate anything!" Luffy protested.
"What have you said?" asked the daughter of Athena, angry.
"What I said, Smarty!"
They both glared at each other until Percy intervened.
"Come on, come on, don't fight. Let's go back the way we came and that's it, okay?"
"Eh, I'll find it eventually," Luffy shrugged as he walked down some stairs and started looking around. "Hmm... this way?"
That's when he saw something above him: a sign that said "The Gold Roger Bar".
"Wait a minute… Is there a bar named after Gold Roger?" Annabeth asked.
"It seems to be the case," Percy said
"The Gold Roger, huh?" Luffy muttered before walking down the stairs towards the entrance of the bar. For some reason the whole place was dark and the walls had spider webs. When Luffy, Percy, and Annabeth entered the double doors, he saw that the chairs and tables had been set up... and the only occupant was a decrepit old man with a purple cap on his head, a bottle of rum in his hand, and for some reason, an abnormally large skull sat on the table in front of him, and the skull itself had a crack in the lid.
"That's a great skull," Annabeth said. "Almost like that of a cyclops."
"I'm telling you, Ty's is about half as big."
"Excuse me," Luffy called out, causing the old man to look at him with a sneer. "I noticed your bar was called 'The Gold Roger', and I was wondering how it got that name."
"...Go away," the old man said bitterly, causing Luffy to back off a bit. "This is not a place for unattended children. Also, we are permanently closed as of today."
"Are you going to sink?" Luffy asked.
"Of course, it looks like it is," Percy muttered. "Just look at this dump."
"And besides, he's about to break down. He's right to go." Annabeth commented.
"Sorry," Luffy said as he sat down at the bar. "I just wanted to know about the name." It was then that he saw the skull in front of the old man. "What the hell is that?! Hey, it's a giant skull! That's cool!"
"...Killer Giant," "One of the worst villains to ever grace the waters of the Grand Line." He clinked the glass in front of the skull. "He sent many pirates to their deaths in his lifetime."
"Er..." Luffy muttered.
"Why was it called Killer Giant?" Annabeth asked.
Luffy, on the other hand, looked at the old man intrigued as the old man smiled.
"But it only took Gold Roger to take down the giant," he said.
"Gold Roger killed him?" Luffy asked.
"With lightning speed!" exclaimed the old man. "You see, Killer Giant had this huge sword, but the fight was over before it started." He then pointed to the crack in the skull. "And this is the wound that did it!"
"Oh..."
"I guess that would make sense," Percy said. "A guy that size, dragging a huge sword like that? They might have great power, but they lose speed as a result."
Meanwhile, Luffy had a big smile on his face, like he was a kid again, listening to a fairy tale, and it seemed like Percy and Annabeth weren't too far from themselves, as they had shocked looks on their faces. their faces.
"Killer Giant was a waste of human flesh, anyway," the old man continued, "but he proclaimed with his dying breath, 'Gold Roger, hats off to you. You will always be King of the Pirates."
"Awesome...!" Luffy whispered in amazement. "Tell me more!"
"Eric Dow, the man known as 'King'..." the old man continued. "Silver-Silver, the World-Famous Gunslinger... The Brothers in the Giant Robes... were famous for their strength, because they were indestructible demons, feared by all."
By now, Luffy's body was trembling with excitement.
"But not Gold Roger," smiled the old man.
"Man, do you hear all this?" Percy questioned.
"And Gold Roger took them all on?!" Annabeth asked, absolutely shocked. "He's amazing, even some of the heroes of yesteryear would have problems! But this man..."
"Yes really?!" Luffy asked the veteran, who sighed.
"You're the first in a long time who likes to listen to my stories," he said. "No one else seems to be interested."
"Okay, I will!" Luffy replied. "Tell me more, I have to tell my friends!"
"Don't rush me, boy!" said the old man. "Now... Gold Roger... I guess even more so, he was the only man who wasn't afraid to enter the Grand Line."
He then began to explain how he had met Roger at his bar when he and the team were partying all night. Back then, the Grand Line was not a place that people would even dream of entering, saying it was a place of evil, but Roger? He showed no fear about it, not at all. Hell, he laughed at the idea that evil existed. His team drank at the bar and then left the next morning like they were going sightseeing.
The two demigods were increasingly amazed at Roger; he laughed at the possibility of dying in the most dangerous sea in the world. Percy would be lying if he said he didn't feel excited, something he hadn't felt in a long time. Even Annabeth began to feel inspired by how the old man talked about Roger. Suddenly, she had an obligation to go to that cursed sea.
"When I heard he had conquered the Grand Line, I wasn't surprised," the veteran said as he swirled his drink in his glass. "I was happy that he was the one who survived those wicked seas."
Luffy couldn't seem to contain his excitement for much longer. He sat on the stool, fidgeting as if he were saturated with sugar.
"On this day, 22 years ago," the old man began, "Gold Roger died on that platform. That's how it all began... how this so-called Great Pirate Age began where anyone with a ship claims to be a pirate... but look around this great city. I bet you won't be able to find a real pirate... nothing but cowards and scum."
"I mean, technically, fewer people becoming pirates is a good thing. At least for citizens." Percy said, a little downcast.
"Yeah, but…" Annabeth didn't continue that train of thought. Oh yeah. Pirates are not heroes. Obviously.
'However, it's still sad that the old man can't keep the business from him.'
"All the men brave enough to make the journey to the Grand Line have disappeared from these waters," the old man said solemnly. "There are no real pirates here... that's why I'm closing."
"I'm going to the Grand Line!" Luffy declared.
"...What?" asked the surprised old man.
"Hell yeah!" Luffy replied. "Gold Roger is great! It's exactly how he's supposed to be a pirate! That's why I'm here! To go to the Grand Line, get my hands on One Piece, and then become King of the Pirates!"
A pause... but then the old man gasped as if he saw a ghost... Puzzled, the demigods looked back at his friend. And then they saw it. There, instead of Luffy, was Gold Roger.
"T-those are some pretty big words!" said the old man.
"I just said what I wanted to say," said Luffy.
"Hehehehe!" laughed the old codger. "Young man… if there are more people like you out there, should I stop closing this place down?"
"Uh... I don't know," Luffy replied, puzzled. "Could be just me."
"That's right," the old man said as he got up from his chair and walked behind the bar. "It could just be you. In that case, let's have a drink. I haven't been in such a good mood in a long time."
"Uh... I don't drink alcohol," Luffy said, making the old man laughed again.
"Okay, so how about this?" he asked as he went down to the glasses of milk. "Let's raise our glasses together, to the eternal King of Pirates." He then took off his hat as Luffy smiled and took his glass of milk.
"Here is the Pirate King!" he stated before they both banged on glasses. Percy and Annabeth smiled, although they were a little annoyed that they couldn't toast with them... until two glasses full of ambrosia appeared in their hands. They were both surprised but didn't give it much importance. They toasted the two even if only Luffy could see them, they didn't care.
"For the King of Pirates!" they both yelled at the same time.
Right at the door, is Themis with a smile.
Shortly after they clinked glasses, Smoker and Rachel entered the building. They were followed by the main Olympians, at Junior's suggestion.
His glasses were empty.
The old man wasn't happy to see the captain, but apparently, Smoker is an old customer there. Still, Smoker was the one who ruined his business, but the captain doesn't blame himself since pirates today are all weak: that's the real problem.
"...You sound like you want stronger pirates around," Hades said, with a hint of surprise in his tone.
"He...?" Hestia said softly.
"He Ha, he's like the rest of the Marines we've seen. He just wants fame and greatness." Hera said sadly. Then she notices the red-haired marine and feels a certain familiarity with her.
Smoker noted the empty glasses, assuming there was a customer there. He tried to order some rum, but the old man refused to serve his kind, which Smoker pointed out is discrimination. A puff of smoke washed over a bottle of rum as Smoker declared that today was a special day.
He drained the bottle and then looked at the stool next to him. Smoker still remembers that day: Roger, in his last moments.
Rachel and gods eyes widened at what he said, especially when it sounded like... that she respected him in some way.
"Smoker, sir. You..." Rachel said admiringly.
Luffy walked with Percy and Annabeth down the main street of the town, wondering if Gold Roger was walking here as well.
Smoker remembered that day. A hot and muggy day like today.
To the Grand Line OST
In the past, a young Smoker ran to see the execution platform. Walking through the crowd, the young man could see him: Gold Roger, his hands tied. For a moment, it seemed that the Great Pirate King looked at him and smiled.
The gods were captivated by the presence of the man in red, completely absorbed in the world... and for a second, it seemed that Gold Roger looked at them and smiled even more.
"Riqueza. Fama. Poder. El hombre que tenía todo en este mundo... Gold Roger. Caminando hacia su muerte... Se mantuvo erguido, como un guerrero orgulloso o como un rey en su trono", dijeron Smoker y Junior al mismo tiempo.
The gods can't take their eyes off the pirate, the man who continues to smile even when he knows he's going to die.
"Inherited will. The fate of the age. The dream of its people. As long as people continue to pursue the meaning of freedom, these things will never cease!" I speak Gold Roger calmly but with great strength in his words. They weren't the whining wails of a death row inmate; quite the contrary, they were the words of a legendary man, unafraid of death.
When Roger arrived on the platform, one of his executioners asked him if he had any last words. Roger turned his head and asked if he could take the shackles from him, he was irritating him. Of course, the man couldn't, but Roger reminded him why he was going to run now.
Hestia, Hera, and Poseidon were able to laugh and laugh at the contrast, while Zeus, Hades, and Demeter could only gasp at such a thing. That he could joke around at a time like this, that he's so accepting of his death.
Roger sat down almost too casually, telling them to go ahead and finish him off. His executioners drew his swords and formed an X just below his head.
"How...? How could he just say kill him at once? It's... It's..." Hades couldn't find the words to describe it.
Demeter began to see some familiar faces: Dracule Mihawk, Gecko Moria, Donquixote Doflamingo, Crocodile... She even saw Shanks and, surprisingly, Buggy.
The crowd stared, and before the executioners could do anything, a man shouted for all to hear, "HEY! PIRATE KING!"
One Piece OST - Oden's Adventure, Travels with Whitebeard and Roger
Everyone's eyes were on him at the moment.
"Where did you hide all the treasure you found!? Is it on the Grand Line!? You got it, didn't you?! That legendary treasure!"
One of the executioners told him to shut up, but the man shouted the name of that treasure: "The One Piece!"
The gods remain silent, waiting for what the one who was known as the King of the Pirates would say.
Right there on the platform, Gold Roger let out a hearty laugh. "My treasure?"
The two men raised their weapons at him for speaking without permission, but that didn't make him flinch one bit.
"If you want it, you can have it! Find it! I left everything this world has to offer there!"
Swords were raised, and in front of the people of Loguetown, the High Pirate King was executed.
They stood in silence for a few moments, unable to process what was happening. Later...
The citizens of Loguetown went into a great uproar. Some roared with joy, others with tears, and sadness, and others with joy; others only remembered that man... No, from that day on, his name was immortalized in history. He became one of the great legends of the Multiverse as it is known. The man who, with his death, created the Great Age of Piracy while the gods could only watch in amazement at what was happening; the beginning of an Era with Roger's smile engraved in their minds and hearts.
"I think I got goosebumps!" Demeter shivered, rubbing her arms.
"No wonder that mortal is a legend." Poseidon smiled widely, his hands shaking.
"Being able to smile even in death," Hades said, clearly impressed.
As the gods speak of their awe of the Pirate King, Zeus finally gets to see why Smoker and Junior have such a fondness for Gold Roger. He can't help but remember the captain's disappointment in the weaker pirates from before.
"So this is what Junior meant by a world of legend… Heh, this mortal…" The King of Olympus couldn't help but smile as he crossed his arms, pleased. "...I don't remember a Crownless King in our world."
Coming back to today, Rachel was just as perplexed as the Olympians. She seemed as if this Gold Roger meant to bring Tartarus himself on earth...and yet Smoker respected her. Then, at one point, Rachel compared Roger to her friend Percy Jackson. They were unbelievably similar, she thought. She didn't even know where that thought came from, but she couldn't get it out of her head.
Smoker and Rachel were interrupted by a Marine who entered the building. The soldier wanted to tell the owner to put up a "wanted" sign, but he immediately waved once he saw Smoker.
Smoker noticed the poster he dropped, recognizing the face on it.
"You should have looked at it earlier…" Rachel started to joke, but she trailed off when she saw Luffy's face on the poster.
'Oh, oh' thought the Olympians.
As Smoker ran to where Luffy might be, the boy in the straw hat finally found the execution platform.
Luffy, accompanied by Percy and Annabeth, didn't smile and they only looked solemn. They stare as they recognize that this is the place where it all began. It was as if they were only between themselves and the platform.
The crowd watched in disbelief as Luffy climbed onto the execution platform. They yelped in surprise as he nearly fell over, but the rubber boy recovered just in time.
-Luffy, what are you doing?! Annabeth yelled at him. "That must be a historic milestone."
"I mean, they could have put some fencing around it." Percy shrugged.
"Even so...! Luffy, GET OUT OF THERE!"
Soon, Smoker appeared and called out to him. Luffy wants to know what his deal is, and Smoker asks if he's the guy with the biggest bounty in East Blue. The rubber boy just told him his name and asked if he needed anything, but he soon nearly slipped on the platform frame. Smoker told him his classification of him and that he was under arrest, but Luffy dismissed it.
"I'm about to enter the Grand Line and be King of the Pirates!"
Smoker's eyes narrowed as Luffy continued to refuse to arrest him, to which the Captain stated that he had to defeat him first or else he would never enter the Grand Line. That is the rule of this city.
"Okay, who's going to win? Gum or smoke?" Junior testified as an announcer.
"Rubber!" Zeus yelled excitedly, seconded by Percy raising a hand.
"I'm pretty sure Smoker would know how to handle it," Annabeth said.
"We're not going to place bets here!" Themis shouted hastily.
"Oh no?" Junior said sadly since he even had the gold and silver drachmas ready.
"And where did you get...?" Hera asked interested, but Junior cut her off saying "wizards don't reveal her secrets."
Luffy decided to accept the challenge, but before he could land a blow, his legs caught on the frame, crippling his attack. That's how Smoker found out that he's made of rubber.
As several people slapped their faces, Demeter groaned, "Oh my God, Straw Hat..."
'I fell in love with an idiot' thought Artemis.
Even Smoker got mad at him for playing dumb, but Luffy swears that he isn't doing it for that sole purpose.
Once he untangled his legs, Luffy threw a punch at Smoker, but the captain jumped up and appeared behind him.
"Holy shit!" Ares cried out in surprise. Everyone's eyes widen at Smoker's amazing speed.
"He's fast; not as fast as my kids, but he could give them serious trouble." said the God of Thieves impressed.
Smoker punched him in the face, which sent Luffy to the ground, only to be kicked by the man.
"He is much faster than he expected." Dionysus's jaw dropped.
Smoker thought that it was pathetic that this person had a 30 million Beli bounty. He doesn't even need to use his devil fruit.
Luffy tried to attack once more, but a punch from the marine captain sent him flying into the building until he fell to the ground.
Smoker said that he will not allow someone like Luffy to enter the Grand Line.
'How dare that wretch to do something to Luffy?' 'Hera thought, quite confused with the rubber boy.
Still, Luffy was able to stand up, wanting to at least try. He stretched out his leg for a kick, but when he tried to whip his leg, his leg wrapped around the fountain, causing him to sling into the air.
At that moment, Rachel arrives tired, only to see Smoker and Luffy fight.
"Oh come on! When are you going to stop…?!"
At that moment, gods and the Oracle of Delphi see each other and a few seconds pass before she screams.
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?! WHEN DID YOU ARRIVE?!"
"That's what we would like to know, Oracle." Said the Queen of the Gods, incredulous.
"Yes. And besides that, they can see and hear you! How did you do it?!" Zeus demanded to know.
"It can only be one person." This is Themis, it would be.
And at that moment, the Olympians began to look at Junior... only instead of the pirate, there was his black silhouette with blinking black stripes in the anime style.
"I... I... I SWEAR ON THE RIVER STYX THAT I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!" Themis shrieked as a comical fire of anger engulfed her, causing the Olympians to recoil in surprise.
As Themis flew off in a rage and Zeus and company tried to calm her down, Rachel followed them hesitantly.
'What has happened?'
To be continued...
