Chapter 248 The Straw Hat Pirates



Chapter 248 The Straw Hat Pirates

Don't even think about it!

Upon hearing this, Sengoku immediately spoke up, looking at Kyle with disdain.

"You brat, you even tried to steal my tea leaves, and then you offered to give them all to me? What are you thinking?"

"most……"

"I'll give you half!!"

After pondering for a moment, Zhan Guo spoke.

He was only willing to give up half of Kyle because Kyle was his own grandson. If it were Garp asking him for half, he wouldn't give up a single piece.

That old bastard Garp, would he even understand what he was drinking?

"Hahaha!"

"Just kidding, I don't want your tea. You only have a tiny bit, why would I steal yours?"

Kyle chuckled, and before he could say anything more, his eyes caught sight of a stack of bounty posters on the Sengoku table, and a hint of curiosity appeared in his eyes.

"Are these the newly updated bounty posters? How come there are so many?"

Because things are happening all the time in the world, the Navy updates the bounties for many pirates every so often.

This so-called period of time is not fixed; sometimes the interval is relatively long, and sometimes the interval is relatively short.

It mainly depends on the recent turbulence at sea.

If something significant happens at sea, then the newspapers and reward notices will likely be updated that day.

For example, if a pirate king falls from power, the Navy will create a new bounty order that very night, and send it out to the world the next day, without waiting for the next day.

However, unless something particularly significant happens, a new bounty will be issued only after a period of time.

However, even though it's been a while, the number of bounty posters being updated right now is still quite large.

"Hmm! The seas haven't been peaceful lately; a whole bunch of pirates have appeared, causing all sorts of trouble, big and small, so naturally there are more bounties this time!"

Zhan Guo spoke calmly.

"I see!"

Kyle nodded, picked up the stack of bounty posters, and began to look through them.

The faces of pirates flashed before his eyes, but Kyle only glanced at most of them.

These pirates held no interest for him whatsoever, until…

"Um?!"

Kyle turned to a page of the bounty poster and suddenly stopped, letting out a soft exclamation.

His gaze was fixed on the wanted poster that had been turned over in his hand, and a look of great interest appeared in his eyes.

Seeing Kyle's unusual behavior, Sengoku instinctively leaned closer.

After glancing at the face on the wanted poster, he said:

"This kid's a newcomer from the East Blue, and he defeated Captain Krieg!"

"His initial bounty reached 20 million Berries, making him a figure to be reckoned with. He might have some impact on the world in the future!"

"but……"

"This guy shouldn't be worth your attention, right? Is there something special about him?"

The Warring States period's tone carried a hint of curiosity.

"good!"

"This guy is definitely a bit special!"

Kyle gave a faint smile.

Simply because his bounty poster read—Straw Hat Luffy, bounty 20 million Berries!!

Kyle could never mistake that straw hat; it was Shanks's, Roger's, and Luffy's from the original manga.

Most importantly, Luffy's title in the original work is Straw Hat Boy.

Because Luffy in this world was recruited into the Navy by Shanks, he naturally didn't inherit Shanks' straw hat, and he certainly wouldn't have a title like "Straw Hat Boy."

But Kyle didn't expect that even without Luffy, there would still be this Luffy.

The same straw hat, the same youthful energy, the same cheerful smile—Kyle saw the shadow of Luffy from the original work in him.

Tsk tsk tsk!

Things are starting to get interesting~

Kel suddenly looked up, his gaze fixed on the Warring States period.

"Do you have any detailed information about this kid?"

……

Fifteen minutes later, when Kyle held the detailed information about Luffy in his hands, Kyle's expression became even more interesting.

Luffy, captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, defeated Kuro, captain of the Black Cat Pirates, and Krieg, leader of the Krieg Pirates, in the East Blue. He is a Paramecia-type String-String Fruit user!

Below the text description, several pictures of Luffy's battles were thoughtfully included.

Each picture clearly shows his fighting posture, and what Kyle noticed most was his outstretched white arm.

To this, Kyle could only say one thing:

Does it have to look this similar?

However, if we're really talking about similarities, this ability is actually more like Katakuri's Mochi Mochi Fruit in appearance, and it's also more similar to the Mochi Mochi Fruit in terms of the development of its ability.

And Luffy's rubber... Oh, no!

The Zoan-type Mythical Zoan Fruit, Human-Human Fruit, Nika form actually has quite a few differences.

The only similarity is that they can both stretch, which gives them a certain visual resemblance.

"interesting!"

Kyle smiled again, then his gaze swept downwards once more.

Zoro, the three-sword style swordsman of the Straw Hat Pirates, was originally a bounty hunter who later joined the Straw Hat Pirates and became one of its members...

Nami, the navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates...

Usopp, the sniper of the Straw Hat Pirates...

Sanji, the Straw Hat Pirates' chef...

After reading the introductions of the other four members of the Straw Hat Pirates, Kayle's expression was nothing short of spectacular.

no?!

What I'm trying to say is, why are they so similar?

There was even a member of the original Straw Hat Pirates, Usopp, among them.

One genuine product, four high-quality replicas.

That's interesting, really interesting!!

Even the Straw Hat Pirates' ship is their original ship from the manga—the Going Merry!

However, as of now, apart from Luffy the Straw Hat, none of the others have a bounty yet.

Similar people, similar experiences.

In an instant, Kyle became extremely interested in them.

It seems I won't be staying at Marine Headquarters for long!

……

the other side.

The red earth continent is located on the side closest to the East China Sea.

A wooden sailboat with a cute white ram's head is sailing through the waves here, and the pirate flag on the ship is a skull wearing a straw hat.

A light drizzle was falling all around, constantly pattering against the pirate ship.

But there were five people on the deck of the ship. They didn't care about the rain. Instead, they all looked at the red earth continent that was already showing its outline in the distance, their eyes filled with undisguised excitement.

A short while later, one of the blond-haired men carried over a wooden bucket and shouted to the others:

"Everyone, to celebrate our upcoming entry into the Grand Line, let's have a launching ceremony!!"
