Chapter 367

Upon seeing this, they immediately poured more wine for Dadan.

Dadan shrugged: "I trust that kid Luffy. He idolizes Shanks—they'll definitely fight, but they won't kill each other, at most just spar."

Upon hearing Dadan's reassurance, Machino paused.

She hadn't expected this bandit to see through her worries and comfort her...

What a gentle woman!

36. Captain Usopp, Kaya waits for your return!

Nokigao quickly recovered her composure.

She smiled gently: "I believe in Shanks and Luffy too. Dadan really is a gentle person."

"Hmph! That kid Ace hid his identity even from me? Next time I see him and Kapi, I'll beat them both senseless!" Dadan grumbled.

This made Machino snicker silently.

"And that old fool Kapi—daring to block Luffy from saving his own brother? Doesn't he know how much Luffy admires Ace? This is unforgivable!" Dadan gritted her teeth.

To this,

Nokigao held a different view.

"He was right there but couldn't personally rescue his own grandson—Kapi must have suffered terribly then. When Luffy knocked him flying, I swear I saw him smiling."

"Hmph! He deserved it!"

Dadan cursed bitterly but didn't contradict Nokigao's words.

In the end, everything ended well—the three generations, Kapi, Ace, and Luffy, all survived; no one died in that damned battle.

As for the Marines...

Our Windmill Village doesn't rely on the Marines to repel pirates!

It's because that controversial old fool Kapi sometimes returns to patrol...

Dadan turned her gaze to behind the bar—there hung a flag of the Red-Haired Pirates!

"Machino, hang up Luffy's Straw Hat Pirate flag too!"

"Is that okay? We haven't gotten Luffy's permission."

"He dares to disagree?" Dadan glared: "Even if he's one of the Four Emperors, I'll still knock his teeth out!"

"Hehe, I don't doubt it for a second."

Shiroppo Village, standalone villa, top-floor window.

Kaya held Usopp's bounty poster, stroking his long nose, and burst into laughter.

"Three hundred and ten million Berries..."

"Three hundred and ten million Berries!"

"Usopp, you must be thrilled right now, right?"

"Fighting on the high seas with your companions, standing shoulder to shoulder with those you trust, seeking legendary treasure..."

"I wish I could see it with you."

Unfortunately...

Even without the butler's poisoning, Kaya's body remains too frail.

But...

Kaya took out another bounty poster—Jesus Burgess's, Usopp's father.

Did the Red-Haired Pirates and Straw Hat Pirates clash during the Summit War?

I wonder if the sniper duo, Usopp and Jesus Burgess, ever fought each other—and who won?

"I hope no tragedy occurred..."

The world only sees the Straw Hat Pirates' glory, but she cares only about Usopp himself.

If a sniper duel truly happened back then...

Since Usopp is still running around, he definitely didn't lose!

"Come home... soon!"

"I'll wait right here—I won't go anywhere."

"Usopp... Captain!"

37. He's been promoted to a Four Emperor's subordinate now!

The Baratie, a restaurant on the sea.

Today, the restaurant was unusually closed; Zepo and his chefs were drinking heavily and devouring meat inside.

"Hahahaha—"

"That kid Sanji really did well!"

"Six hundred and ten million Berries! That's enough for ten years of our revenue!"

"We should've kept some of his autographs—they'd sell for sure."

"Of course! That kid's now a Four Emperor's subordinate!"

"Can we now walk around the East Blue like kings?"

"Hahahaha—neither Marines nor pirates have come to cause trouble lately!"

"Never thought we'd one day be taken care of by that kid."

"Isn't this just perfect?"

"Speaking of which, I still prefer his old wanted poster photo; this one..."

"Too handsome!!!"

"Hahahaha—"

Zeff looked at the crowd in high spirits, feeling deeply gratified in his old heart.

"Back then, when I let you follow that kid Luffy out to sea, I guessed there would be magnificent adventures, but I never expected such a grand carnival!"

"That little one I was supposed to protect has already grown to the point where his mere reputation can protect an old man like me!"

"It's just..."

He took out another newspaper, which carried an announcement from the Vinsmoke Family, permanently expelling Sanji from the Vinsmoke Family, with no further ties between the two.

Although from the boy's behavior since childhood, he had guessed that the family of this little one he had picked up must be anything but simple.

But he never expected it to be the Vinsmoke Family, which once commanded an entire sea!

However...

"Saying goodbye to your past self, you must be very happy, right?"

"There is still room to grow in the future; you are only a Yonko officer..."

"'Ability' is your dream, after all."

"And also..."

"That rubber kid really seems like he could become the Pirate King?"

Zeff looked at Luffy's wanted poster, where he was laughing in the sunshine.

He never in a million years expected that the young man who had once smashed his ship's cabin and received a beating from him would reach such heights today.

"Very much like Roger back then!"

Drum Island, the palace on Shanfeng.

Dr. Kureha still lived here, dining with Dalton, the new king of the Sakura Kingdom.

"Chopper's bounty amount finally looks proper," Dr. Kureha laughed. "210 million Berries! Compared to mine back in the day, it's only a little less."

"Back then, that kid Ma Di promised me he would take care of Chopper; it seems he is keeping our agreement."

"He's even taken care of him until he became a Yonko officer!"
