Chapter 31 Advanced Bait!

After an unknown amount of time, a "plop" sound was heard, and Garp emerged from the sea. However, he was all alone and did not see any members of the Red-Haired Pirates.

"Damn it! Those guys have all disappeared; we haven't seen them anywhere in the surrounding waters!"

Garp began to curse.

"You even made me get my clothes wet!"

"Let's go, kid, back to the warship!"

With that, Garp used Moonwalk to fly towards the warship; he needed to go back and change into clean clothes.

Kyle remained suspended in mid-air, his gaze sweeping across the scene below. After a moment, he suddenly smiled.

"Looks like we won't be able to capture the future Yonko and bring them to Impel Down today!"

Kyle had nothing to be upset about with this result.

His thinking was similar to Garp's: if they could catch him, they would; if not, they would let it go.

Anyway, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future, so this one doesn't matter.

and……

This experience will likely leave a deep impression on the redheads and their crew.

Having no ships on this vast ocean is no small matter. Although it is not fatal to them, it is enough to cause them serious trouble.

After taking one last look, Kyle transformed into lightning and vanished from the spot.

After a while, when Kyle returned to the warship, he saw a series of figures lying on the ship.

Seeing this, Kyle couldn't help but show a hint of embarrassment.

It seems he also contributed to this masterpiece!

However, the real reason is that these guys are just too bad.

That's right, it has absolutely nothing to do with him; it's their own problem!

Life is hard enough as it is; if you can make things difficult for others, don't make things difficult for yourself!

Kyle approached Luffy and his two companions, who were sprawled on the ground, and as if he had thought of something, a 'sinister' smile involuntarily appeared on his lips.

Before long, Kyle found a long wooden pole and a rope on the boat.

Divide the rope into three sections of different lengths and tie them to the wooden pole, with the longer section in front and the shorter section behind.

Then he tied the other ends of the ropes to Luffy and his two companions, lifted them up, and sat down on the warship's dog head.

With a wave of his hand, a table and a chair appeared before him.

Kyle plopped down in the chair and extended the wooden pole binding the three men.

He wanted to see which of these three types of "bait" was the most effective!

The wooden pole was lowered slightly, and Luffy, who was tied to the outermost side, was the first to fall into the sea.

After securing the wooden pole with something, Kyle leisurely brewed some tea.

The aroma of tea wafted out with the rising steam, and Kyle showed a hint of enjoyment on his face.

He crossed his legs, sipped his tea, and waited quietly for the fish to bite.

He considered himself a decent fisherman, and with the availability of high-quality bait, it seemed a bit unreasonable for him not to catch any fish.

At this moment, our premium bait king, Mr. Luffy, slowly furrowed his brow, and the furrow deepened.

His eyelids twitched incessantly, as if he were about to wake up at any moment.

A few seconds later, Luffy suddenly opened his eyes. His first feeling was that his whole body was weak and limp, and his eyelids felt incredibly heavy. He almost fainted again.

However, when he realized his surroundings, his eyes widened suddenly, and he instinctively tried to struggle, but he had little strength in his body, and even struggling seemed so powerless.

"Hey! The premium bait's awakened!"

"Perfect, life is much more appealing!"

"You can make the amplitude a bit bigger, and the ripples should be even larger. Keep it up!!"

Just then, a familiar voice came from above. Luffy subconsciously looked up and saw Kyle sitting in a chair, legs crossed, leisurely drinking tea.

(⊙o⊙)...

Luffy was stunned for a moment, then burst into a tirade of curses.

"Kyle, you bastard, what are you doing?! Get me up there right now!!"

Luffy grinned at Kael.

But Kyle simply gave a faint smile.

"Speak louder, Luffy! The more you struggle, the happier I am!"

"You bastard Kyle, don't make me go up there, or I'll beat you to a pulp!"

Luffy was flailing his arms on the surface of the sea, completely unaware that a dark figure had appeared below him at some point.

! !

Kyle's eyes lit up, and he immediately put the teacup aside, grabbed the wooden pole with both hands, and looked excited.

Ignoring Luffy's shouts, their attention was entirely focused on the dark shadow beneath him.

The shadow grew larger and more distinct.

Now!!

Kyle suddenly pulled Luffy out, and right behind him was a giant fish over two meters long, which was now opening its mouth wide to bite Luffy.

Luffy's expression changed drastically. With his strength slightly restored, he kicked the fish hard in the face, sending it flying.

Kyle: (⊙o⊙)…

Luffy: "Phew, that was close!! I almost got eaten by the fish!"

Luffy wiped the sweat from his forehead and said with a hint of lingering fear.

However, the next second, a feeling of weightlessness came over him, and he was thrown into the sea by Kyle again, and the familiar feeling of powerlessness surged into his body once more.

Kyle simply sat back down in his chair, picked up his teacup again, and his expression remained unchanged.

He smiled at Luffy.

"Luffy, you could have come up here, but now... I'm afraid it's not possible!"

"You ruined this chance yourself! I'll reel you in the fish the moment you let me catch one!"

"If you don't catch anything, then you're in for a whole day in the sea!"

Luffy was stunned, his expression of fear freezing on his face. The next second, he snapped back to reality and started swearing at Kael again, this time with even greater force than before.

But this had no effect on Kyle, who continued drinking his tea without a care in the world.

It's okay! They'll stop when they get tired of yelling.

However, Kyle was wrong this time.

Even though he ignored Luffy and leisurely drank his tea, Luffy still didn't stop attacking.

He even got more and more into cursing, and the sea's restraint on him seemed to weaken at this point.

His continuous and loud shouts finally woke up his two older brothers who were hanging in front of him.

Both of them initially looked completely bewildered.

After some time, the two, having figured out their own situation, also joined the campaign against Kyle.

The three of them kept attacking Kyle while struggling desperately, but it was all in vain.

Today, they've decided to be the ones using this premium bait.

However, just as Kyle was comfortably reading, a system notification suddenly sounded in his mind.

【Ding! 】
