Chapter 618: Pirate King Luffy

Two days later, the Thousand Sunny sailed away from Laugh Tale, sailing aimlessly on the sea.

Although they didn't gain any treasure, they became one of the witnesses to true history.

"By the way, Luffy, if I remember correctly, your Devil Fruit ability is exactly the same as that Joy Boy recorded in the Poneglyphs, right!"

Luffy scratched his head: "Seems like it, but I wasn't listening carefully. I fell asleep when Luo Bin was talking."

At this time, Luo Bin came out to explain: "Remember when we were on Egghead, Dr. Vegapunk told us that everything on Earth appears according to people's wishes, and Devil Fruits are the result of materialization. Because this is the possibility of human evolution, every ability represents a form that humans hope to possess."

"Nika represents freedom, liberation, light... it is a god artificially erased from history. Eight hundred years ago, the owner of the Nika fruit, Joy Boy, was targeted by other countries in the world in order to build a dream country, and he failed."

"Now, Luffy is the user of the Nika fruit. Does this imply the fate on Luffy?"

Fate?

The Straw Hat crew fell into silence. Fate, what would Luffy's fate be? Leading the people of the world to liberation?

What is liberation? Defeating the Celestial Dragons? Or overthrowing the World Government?

Luffy said seriously for once: "We'll talk about it later! If everything is really fate..."

"Luffy..." "Uta?"

Everyone looked back and saw that Uta had walked out of the room at some point.

"Uta, are you... feeling better?"

Uta nodded: "I'm much better. It was indeed my naivety before. Since this matter has passed, let's not talk about it anymore."

Luffy breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, I thought..."

"Luffy, do you remember the last time we parted?"

Luffy was stunned, and then quickly said: "Of course! At that time, I begged Shanks to take me with him, but he wouldn't let me no matter what, and you even mocked me."

Uta revealed a smile, but it disappeared quickly.

"Yeah! After leaving Foosha Village that time, Shanks went to look for the Nika fruit. He seemed to have known for a long time that this Devil Fruit was very important, but I didn't expect that fruit to be eaten by you."

"Oh, so that's how it is! I ate it by accident back then, hehehe."

Luo Bin nodded thoughtfully. Shanks was once a crew member of the Pirate King, and as everyone knows, Luo Jie was called the Pirate King only after reaching Laugh Tale. Looking at it this way, it's normal for Shanks to know something.

"Then, Uta, are you planning to come with us next?"

Uta shook her head: "No, when we reach the next island, let me get off the ship!"

"But..."

Before he could finish speaking, Uta interrupted: "You don't need to worry about Shanks's words. I'm not a child anymore, I can take care of myself. Thank you for taking care of me during this time."

Luffy was speechless and couldn't find words to persuade her to stay.

The next day, the Straw Hat crew arrived at an unknown small island, took a short rest, and then said goodbye to Uta.

Navy Headquarters, Marineford.

"It has been confirmed that the Straw Hat crew appeared on Yako Island. According to informant intelligence, they inadvertently revealed that they had reached Laugh Tale. I think we can bestow the title of Pirate King on the Straw Hat boy."

"Fleet Admiral Kuzan, why should we bestow it? If we do that, will the world be convinced? Luo Jie became the Pirate King back then, and it seems the Navy was a step behind, right?"

Kuzan pondered: "It is precisely because of this that this time, we must grasp the initiative, create momentum for the Straw Hat crew, and let the Straw Hat boy become the Pirate King known to everyone."

"Only in this way will the Navy's actions be more meaningful, right?"

"Karl, what do you think?"

Karl, who was dozing off:?

"Uh, well said. Regarding this issue, we must grasp the harmfulness, improve consciousness, improve initiative..."

"You'd better not say anything!"

Kuzan waved his hand and gave the order to contact various newspaper agencies to reveal the news that the Straw Hat crew had reached Laugh Tale. As for how the news is written and how the material is handled, that depends on the reporters' abilities.

The next day, various newspapers published this news. Although the Navy didn't mention the Pirate King at all, they crowned the Straw Hat crew with the title of Pirate King without exception.

As everyone knows, after the Pirate King Luo Jie died, there was an unwritten rule.

Whoever can find the great treasure left by Luo Jie is the next Pirate King, and One Piece is on Laugh Tale.

Since the Straw Hat crew found Laugh Tale, they must have found the great treasure, so the captain of the Straw Hat crew, the Straw Hat boy, must be the Pirate King.

Thus, there were such news headlines.

"The Second Generation Pirate King Emerges!"

"It really is him, this man finally became King!"

"The guy next door already became Hokage, this guy finally became Pirate King!"

Thousand Sunny, after a burst of fuss, Chopper asked cautiously. ===== CHAPTER 620 =====
