Chapter VI Refusal of Invitations
"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Luffy, who was naturally stunned, found that William had fainted, and the whole person was overwhelmed with fright. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info if you want to talk about fighting and causing trouble, then he is an expert among experts, but it is difficult to say how to save people.
"Wake up!" William, who was already yellow-skinned and thin, was grabbed by Luffy and shook violently by his shoulders, and almost lost his life, and finally received two slaps from Luffy to regain consciousness.
If it weren't for William's body being stronger than ordinary people, and replacing it with an ordinary person's body, even if he had several lives, it wouldn't be enough for Luffy to toss, no wonder it was not unreasonable for Zoro to shout all day long that he was going to kill Luffy.
However, William, who had just regained a trace of consciousness, thought that Luffy was an enemy, and instantly subconsciously shrunk Luffy and all the materials on the boat into the castle space in his body.
"Where is this?" Luffy didn't feel the slightest panic in the face of the sudden change in environment, but became even more excited.
"You saved me?" William's body emerged from the ground, with some food in his hand from the roadship, although William was annoyed by Luffy's previous behavior towards him. But anyway, it was he who saved himself, and thanks to Luffy's food and water, his body recovered a little.
"My name is Luffy, who are you?" Luffy said again.
"Oh?" Although William fainted before and didn't hear Luffy's introduction, but Luffy's iconic straw hat alone also had some guesses, and now he was still a little surprised to hear Luffy report his home.
But William doesn't plan to have anything to do with Luffy, he just wants to live quietly, he was originally an otaku in the original world. If it weren't for the failure of the mission, perhaps he would have chosen to continue serving in the Navy. But now that he had to live a reclusive life, it was impossible for William to choose to become a rather dangerous profession as a pirate.
"That's my meat, give me back!" Although he was in a strange place, Luffy always cared about his flesh.
Although William's body has not yet recovered, this is his body, and everything here is under his control. Seeing that Luffy actually made a move on himself, then he was not welcome, this idiot actually slapped himself wildly when he mixed it up before?
"Look for death, castle swamp!" William didn't expect that this idiot Luffy would actually fight with himself for a piece of meat, and immediately turned the place where Luffy was standing into a swamp, making Luffy's legs sink and make it unusable.
"Huh, why did you sink down, rubber gun!" After panicking for a moment, Luffy immediately stretched out his fist and punched him.
Luffy's own strength is not small, and with the bonus when using rubber telescopic, the strength has increased a lot. But not to mention that William knows all of Luffy's moves well, even if William's physical strength has not fully recovered now, he will not be afraid of Luffy. This is in his body, and here he is almost indistinguishable from the natural system.
Luffy's rubber gun directly penetrated William's body, but when it shrank back, it was stuck by William's body. When he was drifting away at sea before, William didn't spend much time studying his fruit abilities.
"Let go of me. Rubber gun!" This time Luffy really got serious, and the only remaining hand that could move also used the rubber gun, but it was also stuck by William's body.
"Nice looks!" William said lightly. At the same time, I couldn't help but admire in my heart: it is worthy of being a man who wants to become the king of the pirates at the cost of his own life.
But with this single-celled brain, if he doesn't have a reliable partner to support him, then he can't make it to the end.
"Let go of me!" Luffy quickly yelled at him again.
If he hadn't read the original book and knew Luffy's personality, William would have thought that he had just praised the wrong person.
"Are you a pirate?" asked William, though knowingly.
"I'm the man who wants to be the King of the Pirates!" Luffy didn't have any momentum when he answered, but rather very casually, as if it was something to be taken for granted.
"That's it!" William let go of Luffy's hands and lifted the castle swamp at the same time. Of course, he didn't continue to let Luffy stay in his body, which was also a kind of trust in Luffy.
However, William's body is very weak, and now he is better than ordinary people. After all, he didn't know how long he had been drifting on the sea, and it was already the greatest luck that he didn't starve to death.
"Are you a Devil Fruit powerhouse?" After returning to the boat, Luffy immediately completely forgot that he had just done something with William for a piece of meat, and instead chatted as if he had met a very good friend.
"Well, my name is William!" William didn't want to tell Luffy the name or abilities of his fruit, but he gave his name instead.
Although Luffy may not be able to remember his name in the future, it is not in vain to be able to fight the future One Piece once.
"William! good name, you will be my partner in the future!" Without invitation, without asking, or even giving a chance to refute, Luffy had already included William in the list of partners.
"I refuse!" William refused to be Luffy's partner without even thinking about it, and if it was another traverser, he might be excited to agree immediately. Although it was fun to venture according to Luffy, William didn't want to be hunted down by the navy all over the world.
If Luffy invited Luffy to the ship two years later, William might not refuse, but the current Luffy is too weak. If the Navy knows that he is still alive and has become a pirate, it will inevitably cause the Navy to attach great importance to the Straw Hat Pirates, and it is not impossible to even cause them to be wiped out.
"Why?" Luffy asked very unansweringly, "Shouldn't men go to sea for adventures?"
"Do you have a pirate ship?" In order to dispel Luffy's idea of inviting him, William asked an embarrassing question.
"This is my ship, and there will be bigger ones in the future. Luffy stretched out his hand as he spoke, not blushing at all about calling a small ship a pirate ship.
William also looked at Luffy speechlessly, this guy is really a strange thing, he still wants to embarrass this kind of person?
"Do you have a partner?" asked William, unhappily. It means that you don't want to invite me on the ship if you don't have a partner, but William knows very well that Luffy has not met his first partner at this time, the three-sword swordsman, the pirate hunter, and Roronoa Zoro.
But when William saw Luffy's finger pointing at him, he knew how idiotic he was just with the question.
"I refuse! You want to go to sea without even a sea navigator?" William looked at Luffy with great disdain, even though he knew that Luffy would soon meet a very good navigator, but still thought he was an idiot.
"Then go find a navigator. "Feelings: Luffy didn't think about the problem of navigators at all before?It seems that his conditions for finding a partner are really arbitrary, should Luffy choose me as a partner, and the use is not my strength, but I think my fruit is very interesting, right?
However, this was guessed by William, and Luffy used the castle inside him as a place for banquets.
"Look, there's a big spiral nest there!" Luffy's attention was suddenly attracted by a huge spiral nest, and he even wanted to see the real face, completely unaware of the danger. In the face of this huge spiral nest, even if it is not the ability of the fruit, it will normally choose to retreat, right?
"Idiot, get away from that spiral. William hurriedly shouted. He didn't want to just escape death and face the threat of death again.
However, William obviously overestimated Luffy's IQ, and seeing that Luffy actually lost the oar, I'm afraid that there will be no second one for this kind of thing except Luffy.
If William's body wasn't still weak now, he would definitely beat Luffy up. William had to hide in the box again, and one box saved him twice, and he didn't know whether to say that he was lucky or unlucky.
In short, William never wants to see Luffy anymore, and hopes to say goodbye to it, and it will be indefinite.
Luffy didn't know what William was thinking, he knew that the spiral nest was very dangerous and then stuffed his body into a wooden barrel, fortunately he was a rubber man, otherwise ordinary people's bodies would not be stuffed into the barrel at all.
