Chapter 488: The Straw Hat Sets Sail

Donghai, West Lob Village, construction site.

The station in the village of Sirob is almost finished, and the line through the sea train has already been opened.

At this time, Luffy has already returned to the construction site.

It was also at this time that the tyrannical rule of the world government had been completely overthrown, and the League of Legends convened a plenary meeting in Mary Joya to establish a formal state and government.

In the new government, the league's deputy chief, Dorag, is still in a high position.

Because Galen has always been the boss in government affairs, Dorag has become the de facto administrative leader, and his status is not inferior to the previous five old stars.

In this way, Luffy, the second ancestor, has been upgraded to a second ancestor who no one can afford to mess with, and in the eyes of civilians with older ideas, he is a complete prince and grandson, and his level is about the same as the previous Draco.

Because Galen has not officially married and had children, Luffy is now the second generation of the strongest official in the world.

However, the second generation of the strongest official does not have the arrogance of the children of cadres at all.

Comrade Luffy resolutely gave up the privileged life of the second generation of officials, put down his body to integrate into the masses, went deep into the grassroots, and came to the remote villages of the East China Sea alone, shedding blood and sweat for the construction of Demacia justice.

He mingled with the masses of workers, insisted on queuing up for meals with the workers, went deep into the front line of production, solved many specific problems in production and life, and the construction site took on a new look.

Comrade Luffy's deeds reflect the new atmosphere of the new era, marking that the era of the imperial family and nobles making a fortune and the exploitation of the majority by the few is gone.

Of course, these are all things that the coalition press release says.

Luffy's own thoughts are very simple, and they have never changed:

"I'm going to be the sea... One Piece! ”

"Do you want to be the king of the pirates?"

Needless to explain, the workers all know that the "One Piece" in Luffy's mouth refers to One Piece.

They have all been with Luffy for a long time, and they have long been accustomed to the awesome background behind this straw hat boy, and they have no sense of estrangement from the second generation of the strongest official.

Hearing Luffy's daily rhetoric, the workers whose ears were about to be cocooned by this sentence immediately laughed mercilessly:

"Now you still say that you want to be the king of the pirates, aren't you going to make your father's rebellion?"

Luffy's attitude is extremely persistent, and no one can shake his dream:

"I'm going to sea, what does it have to do with my dad?"

He replied as stunned as ever, choking up the co-workers who were laughing out loud.

"Ugh..."

A worker still shook his head and sighed, and refused to give up and persuaded:

"What's so good about being a pirate?"

"Now how strict the alliance is to crack down on pirate activities, everyone doesn't know."

"Even if you are capable, can you still be as tall as Lord Galen?"

"We've all watched the live broadcast of the Battle of the Navy Headquarters..."

"Lord Galen can set off a hurricane with a wave of his hand, and he can cut through the sea with a sword, which can you three handymen, cooks, and rebar workers beat?"

The decisive battle of the naval headquarters raised Galen's prestige to the peak.

Especially the pinnacle duel between him and Imu, the kind of extreme power that made countless top powerhouses present lose their color, has a powerful deterrent power, and makes any enemy who wants to be Galen's enemy fearful.

Although Galen and Imu are too fast, the image worm camera only captures two phantoms colliding, but the apocalyptic images of the sky and the earth changing color, the sea falling, and the wind howling can still make these ignorant construction workers see Galen's horror.

So, out of good intentions, they couldn't help but admonish Luffy not to go down a dead end that didn't work at all.

However, Luffy was on the scene at the time, and his feelings about Galen's power were much clearer and more intuitive.

Without the admonition of his fellow workers, Luffy also knew that he was as weak as an inconspicuous ant in front of Galen.

However, this still does not shake the mind of a dreamer:

"I'm not afraid!"

Luffy said firmly.

The worker wanted to persuade him again, but Zoro on the side echoed Luffy and said:

"That's right, nothing to be afraid of!"

"That unimaginably powerful force, that kind of swordsmanship that is enough to cut through the heavens and the earth..."

Zoro recalled the scene he saw in the live broadcast, not only did he not have fear in his heart, but his eyes were full of irrepressible excitement:

"This is what my generation of swordsmen have pursued all their lives!"

"The world's number one swordsman, Galen..."

"I will definitely stand in front of him with dignity and become the strongest in the world!"

"Ugh..."

The workers were not shocked by Zoro's bold words, because they had long recognized the stunned spirit of Zoro and Luffy.

For them, this is the second good lad who has been delayed by crazy dreams.

"Don't sigh."

Sanji didn't know when he came here.

He exhaled a thick smoke ring and said with a deep face:

"Nothing can stop a free man from going to the sea."

"Dreams never end."

"Hahaha..."

The workers interrupted Sanji's words mercilessly, and laughed with a smile:

"Speaking so well, you actually still care about your sister's affairs, right?"

"Why bother?"

"A man as good as Lord Galen, the girl who wants to marry him is estimated to be able to go around the Great Passage in a circle."

"It's not unreasonable for your sister to choose this way..."

They are all too familiar with Sanji, and as soon as they open their mouths, they will say that Nakayama is critical.

Sanji's face was handsome and deep, and all turned into anger:

"Bastard!"

"Don't mention that scumbag! My sister she definitely didn't do it voluntarily!! ”

Sanji looked grief-stricken, as if his sister Reijiu was now a princess locked in the castle by the dragon, waiting for his rescue in the capital city of Mary Joa.

Seeing Sanji's bitter gourd face, the atmosphere in the construction site suddenly became happy.

However, there was a voice that suddenly sounded, which made the joyful atmosphere pause slightly:

"Excuse me..."

"Are you three really going to sea to be pirates? Are you all serious? ”

It was a long-nosed teenager who spoke.

The workers are familiar with him:

The second generation of thieves in Xirob Village, young and without any legitimate occupation, is an unemployed vagrant who lives by eating Miss Keya's soft rice, Brother Usopp.

Although these labels are not very kind, after the previous crisis of Monka and Chloe, the workers also changed their stereotypes of Usopp who was brave at the critical moment and gradually became friends with him.

Usopp was able to come and go as he pleased, and he also relied on his ability to brag and chat with the workers.

At the same time, he also knows something about Luffy, Zoro and the trio's plans to go to sea.

Now hearing Usopp suddenly ask about this again, Sanji, the only nimble of the three, vaguely sensed what Usopp meant:

"You've been talking to us about going to sea for a long time, aren't you..."

"I want to go to sea and be a pirate!"

"Please let us join you!"

Without waiting for Sanji to finish speaking, Usopp directly stated his intentions.

"What?"

The workers changed color slightly, and immediately some enthusiastic people persuaded:

"Usopp boy!"

"I know that it's a good thing not to eat women's soft rice, but you can't rush to the doctor and do this kind of unscrupulous business?"

"Who, who eats women's soft rice!"

"I just often go to chat with Keya, and by the way, I accompany her to have breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner..."

Usopp was busy arguing, but his voice was getting weaker and weaker.

"Ahem..."

Usopp coughed dryly twice to sort out his emotions, and finally found the central idea he wanted to say:

"Ever since I was a child, I've always dreamed of being like my father, a free warrior at sea!"

"It's my dream to become a warrior at sea, and it's not a bad job!"

"Good!"

As soon as the words fell, Luffy, the leader of the Straw Hats, agreed:

"Since you also want to go to sea to be a pirate, then..."

"From today on, we are companions!"

And Zoro and Sanji hesitated slightly, and immediately agreed with Luffy's decisiveness.

The dreamer and the dreamer have been like-minded, and the three of Luffy and Usopp have been chatting since they got acquainted.

They were not opposed to Usopp's accession.

"Great!"

Usopp was so excited that he had just joined the Straw Hats, as if his dream was within reach.

Encouraged by the passion in his chest, Usopp couldn't help but ask:

"Luffy, when are we going to sea?"

"Uh..."

Luffy and the three of them were slightly stunned.

"This..."

After hesitating for a moment, Sanji stood up and said in a somewhat embarrassed tone:

"According to the original plan, we should be going to sea in two days."

"However, after Luffy's arrest this time..."

"We decided that we still have to cultivate for a while longer, and then go to sea when our strength is passed."

"It's... Also. ”

Usopp hesitated slightly, but agreed.

Because Usopp was also at the scene when Luffy was arrested, he had also witnessed the strength of the general Yellow Ape and experienced that powerlessness and despair.

"So..."

Usopp asked curiously:

"Where should we cultivate?"

Luffy and the three of them looked at each other and said in unison:

"Right here, part-time job."

"Aha?"

Usopp was stunned.

Straw hats move brick groups, welcome plus one.

And the brick-moving group, which had just been expanded to four people, had not yet finished the welcome party for newcomers, and another good news came out of thin air:

"Don't be stunned, everyone!"

It was the foreman of the construction site who shouted, and as soon as he spoke, he attracted everyone's attention:

"I have big news to announce:"

"When the station in Xirob Village is officially completed, we will set off for the Great Passage!"

"To the Great Passage?"

The faces of the workers all changed slightly.

They were all natives of the East China Sea, and they had never left their hometowns to go so far, so they couldn't help but ask with some complaint:

"Aren't we the East Haidebang Construction Company?"

"Why do you want to work in the Great Passage?"

"Look at your realization..."

The foreman shook his head and sighed hatefully:

"We are all bricks in Demacia, of course where we need to move!"

"It's only been two years since I came out of the garbage mountain, and I want to be lazy and stop working?"

The workers were ashamed to be remarked, and after a moment of silence, they cautiously asked:

"Foreman, what are we going to do in the Great Passage?"

"Hahaha..."

The foreman laughed heartily, and said mysteriously:

"We went to the Great Passage, of course, to respond to the call of the country and look for OnePiece in the new era!"

"Great Passage, OnePiece?!"

Luffy's eyes lit up.

The straw hat moving brick group finally set sail.
