Chapter 521: Hawkins the Magician
The Long Ring Islands, an island dedicated to playing arenas, are home to pirates of all stripes from the first half of the Great Voyage.
I have to say that pirates are like a hodgepodge, when pirates from all over the world get together, even the fur clan, the snake head clan, the long hand clan, the foot long clan, these very rare alien races can be seen here.
"Wow! There are so many people here! Luffy exclaimed all the way, "Usopp, you see that man's neck is as long as your nose, Chopper, there are pirates out there who eat everyone's fruit just like you!" β
"Poof~ha!" Usopp laughed.
"Where? Where? Chopper jumped up in the crowd excitedly and looked in the direction Luffy was pointing.
Of course, it was actually a fur family.
Many pirates are dissatisfied, don't look at the bustle here, but as a three-way area where pirates gather, it is common to kill people without saying a word.
After all, as the host, the Silver Fox Foxy only has a bounty of 24 million Bailey, and there is no deterrent for the pirates on this island.
"You three, that's rude!"
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Nami suppressed it directly with an iron fist, and after a while, the two of them apologized to the surroundings with a large bag on their heads, "Sorry for the interruption." β
Seeing that a few people were so weak, the disdain in the hearts of the surrounding pirates dispersed.
At this time, a calm voice came from behind several people, "Is this the courage that a pirate with a reward of 100 million should have?" It's disappointing. β
Everyone turned to see a man with blond hair and six black vertical lines on his forehead standing behind them, his eyes as calm as a pool of stagnant water.
"Hey, who's that dead-faced guy?" Luffy asked dissatisfied.
"He is the captain of the Hawkins Pirates, and the magician Hawkins has a bounty of 135 million Bailey." Robin introduced.
Hearing Robin's introduction, everyone was secretly on guard, and the guy who offered a reward of more than 100 million in the first half of the great voyage would definitely not be a simple role.
"Is there a reward of 135 million?" Luffy's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "Facial paralysis man, are you here to fight with me?" β
"No, it's just that I happened to foresee that you would be the center of the next whirlpool, and I was a little curious, so I came over to take a look." Hawkins was not angry at Luffy's rudeness, but said calmly.
"Vortex Center, do you mean I'm going to be the winner of the conference?" Luffy asked excitedly.
"Are you naΓ―ve and still thinking about that kind of pointless game?" Hawkins said with his eyelids lowered.
"You're really weird, you don't want to compete, so what should you think?" Luffy tilted his head to look at the other party.
"With so many pirates gathered here, do you think the navy will make no moves?" Hawkins asked.
"Oh~" Luffy's eyes widened, and his right hand slashed into the palm of his left hand, "You mean the Navy is also coming to participate in the competition?" β
"Ahem......" Hawkins, who has always been unwavering, couldn't help coughing, what a strange brain circuit this guy is?
Nami asked nervously, "Will the navy come to attack us?" β
"I don't know." Hawkins regained his composure, "But if I were in the Navy, I wouldn't be at ease with so many pirates coming together. β
Robin held his delicate chin in one hand and pondered, "Indeed, along the way, I have seen a lot of people who are incompatible with the aura of the pirates, and now that I think about it, they may be pretending to be the Navy, right?" β
Usopp hurried, "What then?" Why don't we run away? β
"Don't be scared by this guy, it's really dangerous, why didn't he run away himself?" Luffy said dissatisfied.
"I've divined myself, and I haven't died recently."
"Aha? Divination? β
Hawkins said no more, and turned away in style.
"What a strange guy." Luffy commented with a pout.
"Luffy, let's get out quickly, if we are targeted by the Navy, it will be unsafe here." Nami said timidly.
"Don't, that man with facial paralysis doesn't run, if I run, doesn't that prove that I lost to him?" Luffy refused.
Usopp burst into tears, "What's the comparison with this kind of thing? β
Luffy was full of vitality, "Don't worry, just fly all the navies that come over when the time comes!" β
Usopp had to look at Robin expectantly, "Robin, you must think it's dangerous here, right?" β
"This time, I'm rooting for Luffy." Robin muttered, "If the navy really surrounds this place secretly, it would be too conspicuous for us to leave now, so it is better to prepare first and wait for the incident to break out before leaving in chaos." β
"Well, well." Usopp could only accept his fate.
The group walked all the way to a bar.
Before he could sit down, he saw someone next to him making a fuss.
"Old guy, you're sitting in Lao Tzu's place!" A bald pirate stood beside an old man dressed in red and smiled maliciously.
"Oh? So what are you going to do? The old man in red asked softly.
"Of course, you have to give Lao Tzu a satisfactory compensation, I see that the gold chain hanging on your mouth is not bad, so I will give ......"
The old man in red sitting on the bar chair raised a finger slightly, but before he could point it, he saw an outstretched fist knock the bald pirate flying.
"Huh? This straw hat is ......" The old man in red noticed the straw hat on Luffy's head, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "Interesting." β
"Uncle, are you alright?" Luffy asked without looking back.
"It's okay, thank you, Straw Hat." The old man in red laughed.
Zoro and the others have long been surprised by this kind of thing, and even have the heart to pick up the wine glass and watch the show, but Robin is in a cold sweat and doesn't even dare to move.
The movement in the bar also attracted the attention of others, but no one stopped them, but they all shouted for fear that the world would not be chaotic.
At this moment, the bald pirate who had been sent out of the bar walked in again, "Damn imp, do you know what you're doing?" β
"You came in with us, which means that the old man is not sitting in your place at all." Luffy said righteously.
The corners of the bald pirate's mouth twitched, he was just making an excuse, was there really an idiot taking it seriously? "That's where I sat yesterday, can't I?"
"Huh? Is that so? Luffy looked embarrassed.
This time, even Nami couldn't stand it anymore, "Luffy, he's lying to you!" β
Just as Luffy turned his head to look at Nami, the bald pirate smirked and punched Luffy's head, "That's right, I'm lying to you!" What an idiot, this is believed by anyone! β
Bang!
The bald pirate's eyes widened in disbelief, the imp who should have been blown out by him turned out to be infinitely extended from his neck, and his head fell to the ground, but it was still connected to his body.
This terrifying scene made his scalp tingle.
But soon, the bald pirate reacted, "Damn, is it the one who is capable?" β
Out of fear of the powerful, the bald pirate lowered his tone and said, "Little ghost, if you get out of the way now, what else can I do...... Burst! β
Hit in the lower abdomen by Luffy's fist, the bald pirate looked like a dead fish, and almost even his eyes bulged out.
"You bastard, I'm a sea of bears...... Burst! β
This time, the bald pirate directly turned into a meteor and disappeared from everyone's sight.
