A week later at noon, Luffy couldn't fight the King of Haki because the Glass Bead Island arrived.
This is a very lively island. You can see the high-rise buildings and cement floors on the island from a distance. This is already at the level of a wealthy town.
There are several pirate ships parked on the periphery of the island. It seems that several pirate ships are spending money on the island.
Pirates are not necessarily robbers. After they have grabbed a fortune, these gangsters don't mind spending money as law-abiding citizens for a while, and then turn into scum when they run out of money.
Just like a tiger is less aggressive after it is full, it is an ironic fact that the prosperity of many places relies on pirates to help drive economic development.
"land!"
Luffy cheered and jumped off the ship.
He hadn't touched the ground for many days, and it felt unreal even when he was on the dirt.
"Luffy, please be safe and don't make too much noise."
Shanks puts a wad of banknotes into Uta's hand. This is a reward for Uta's victory in the treasure hunt game they played.
Shanks used his straw hat as a fan to fan himself while looking at the luxurious island, "Moor here for three days and continue on your journey."
He makes judgments.
The pirates rushed towards the land.
This is not a small place like Windmill Village, where there is nowhere to spend money.
Glass Bead Island has the favorite industry of pirates - casino.
Uta slowly walked up the stairs and disembarked from the ship. Shanks seemed to remember something and flicked the straw hat in his hand. The hat spun in the air and fell on Uta's head.
Uta stretched out her hands and held both ends of the straw hat, turning it in a very ladylike circle, showing off the white skirt she was wearing, with a diamond necklace hanging around her neck and a circle of pearls wrapped around her wrist.
She looks like a rich lady.
"I'm beautiful, Luffy!" Uta looked at this person of the same age expectantly.
"Well, Uta is the most beautiful today." Luffy gave a thumbs up. Putting aside the different-colored hair, Uta is still a cute little girl.
"Even if you say nice things, I won't give you the money, let alone help Luffy buy things!"
Uta hummed and put his hands on his hips.
"I'm not interested in money." Luffy touched the pocket on his pants.
"It's too much trouble to carry something like Bailey around."
Luffy followed the pirates towards the town.
The merchants on Glass Bead Island are not afraid of these pirates coming from afar. In this world, opening a business requires courage.
Businessmen without courage cannot succeed. If the pirates don't hold a machete on their necks, they will regard the pirates as rich people.
It's time to rip off customers.
"Welcome," guests who have come from afar, the weapons here are very sharp, including the most powerful knives for sale!
"Do you need a change of clothes? Our DOSKOI PANDA clothing store is world-famous!"
The store owners eagerly shouted to the pirates.
"This is the island I want!"
There were little stars in Uta's eyes. The first thing she went to was the DOSKOI PANDA clothing store. Luffy saw that the minimum price of a small dress was three thousand beli.
This is enough to spend a month in the Maginot Bar in Windmill Village.
"So beautiful!" Uta was completely addicted to the sea of clothes.
Luffy walked to the men's and children's clothes on the side and picked up some clothes that fit him.
Luffy felt that he looked quite handsome in a black suit, but considering that he exercised regularly, Luffy still bought sportswear.
There was no need to try on clothes, so Luffy chose a few pieces and asked his boss to wrap them up.
"Thirty thousand Baileys in total." The boss rubbed his thumbs excitedly.
"Hey, you must have a naval base here."
Luffy has no money, but he always has a way.
"Of course, the big businessmen on Glass Bead Island give a large sum of money to the nearby naval base as financial aid every year," the boss said.
"My accounts are with the Navy."
"Are you kidding me, you little brat?" The boss looked at Luffy in confusion.
"Remember my name, my name is Monkey D. Luffy, and my grandfather is a naval hero, Monkey D. Garp."
Luffy took out a photo taken in Windmill Village, which was also his only family photo.
In the photo, little Luffy is sitting on Garp's shoulder, and the two are intimate.
"Nani!!!"
The boss's eyes almost popped out.
He looked at Luffy in the photo in disbelief, and compared it with Luffy now.
You can tell it's me, because the face is a bit dull.
"Navy hero...has a grandson?!!!"
"Shh, I am the grandson of a hero. If you shout louder, the pirates will use me to threaten my grandfather if they find out."
Luffy made a shushing gesture.
The boss nodded hurriedly, this is Garp's grandson!
A naval hero has a great reputation in the East China Sea.
"Apply a chain card for me, and tell me how to get to the naval base. Also, you can call the navy for an appraisal."
Luffy calmly took back the photo of himself and his grandfather.
"Please go slowly!" The boss bowed ninety degrees and sent Luffy off.
Next, Luffy bought some ice cream without spending any money, and it was all recorded in Garp's name.
The phone numbers at the naval base were also buzzing, with countless calls seeking verification made to the person in charge of the navy.
The fact that Garp has a grandson is classified information, just like how few people know that his son is the Dorag who fought in the revolutionary army, this relationship was obliterated by the Navy.
No matter what, it would be a shame for outsiders to know that the son of a naval hero betrayed the World Government and became a revolutionary soldier.
Dolag's wanted poster did not include his last name, it was simply Revolutionary Army Dolag.
No one knows that Dorag's full name is the Monqi clan.
In this case, not many marines know that Luffy is Garp's grandson.
Therefore, the director of the naval base simply did not believe that Garp had a grandson.
"Liar, definitely a liar, I have never heard of Garp having a grandson!"
"However, the other party has photos with Garp. As we all know, photos cannot be faked."
The photos in One Piece were spit out by phone bugs, so there really is no fake technology.
Yes, but it has not been made available to the public, so the photos are all real.
"Our Navy will investigate this matter to the end!" The base commander was very serious.
I was wondering whether I should call the Navy headquarters for verification. After all, the impact of someone pretending to be the grandson of a hero would be huge.
Naval base:
"Whose child, this is a military area, no intrusion allowed!"
The two marines who were guarding the door with guns on their backs yelled at Luffy who was eating ice cream.
"Asshole! My grandfather is the navy hero Garp, and the navy is my home!"
Luffy used his tongue flicking technique from above and shouted at these marines.
Then he pulled out a photo of himself and Garp.
"What-" The two navy soldiers' eyes bulged out.
