Volume 1 East China Sea Chapter 35 The Straw Hat Pirates are formed
Chapter 35: The Straw Hat Pirates Are Established!
The Golden Merry calmly sailed on the sea, and Luffy called a meeting on the deck. Several people sat around the deck, Luffy coughed twice, and said solemnly: "Now that we have a ship and a partner, it means that our pirate group has officially been established." I think we should give our pirate group a name, draw the pirate flag, and clarify the division of labor. First of all, let's determine the division of labor, let's talk about what you will all have? Let's all introduce ourselves, starting with me. ”
"I'm definitely the captain of the ship, I'm a rubber man who eats rubber fruits, I'm good at punching and kicking, I love to eat, and my dream is to become One Piece! No, it should be the strongest in this world! ”
Usopp raised his hand positively, "I am good at escaping and long-range sniping, and my dream is to go to Elbaf, the legendary village of warriors, to learn to become a brave warrior at sea. I want to be the captain of this ship! ”
"Bang!" Luffy punched Usopp in the head, and white smoke rose above Usopp's head, "The captain of the Merry can only be me, do you want to seize power?" Usopp?! ”
"That's... Then I'll be the first captain. Usopp said weakly.
"The vice-captain must be brave and resourceful, and you can beat Sauron and Chloe." Luffy said lightly, "Don't be delusional, be a sniper obediently." ”
"Well... Then I'll be a sniper. Usopp thought about it and thought that he was really no match for those two monsters, so he could only honestly follow Luffy's arrangement and become a sniper.
Chloe pushed his glasses and stroked the black cat in his arms, "I'm good at speed and attacks with eight-bladed cat's claws as weapons, and I'm a black cat man who eats the cat's fruit, Xiao Hei has a little bit of my soul on his body, I can connect with Xiao Hei, and I can manipulate Xiao Hei when I transform." I'm not interested in being a co-captain, but the job of a butler suits me well. ”
"That's it, Chloe, you are the ship's chief of staff and steward, responsible for intelligence collection and analysis, strategy formulation, and financial management and distribution, you have three years of experience as a housekeeper and should be able to handle it."
"I don't agree, I will never give my money to anyone else, I want to take care of the money." Nami raised her hand against it, and years of money-raising life have made Nami particularly sensitive to money, that is, she is particularly greedy for money. In terms of money, she is not giving an inch!
Luffy frowned, "Chloe has three years of experience as a housekeeper, and he can better manage his finances. Nami, look..."
"I—" Nami was about to refuse, but Chloe interrupted with a smile: "Miss Nami might as well be my deputy, the money will be kept by you, as for the purchase of the ship, the two of us will discuss it, as long as it is reasonable, we will support it?" ”
Chloe is a very knowledgeable person, good at grasping people's hearts, he can see Nami's insistence on money, and Luffy's fancy for Nami, it seems that Nami's navigation skills are very good, in this case, it is not appropriate to stiffen the relationship, just let Nami keep the money.
"Okay then." Nami is not an ignorant person, as long as the money is in her own hands.
Luffy looked at Chloe appreciatively, to be honest, he was also quite embarrassed, Nami's navigation skills are undoubted, she is quite fond of money, this is related to her experience, and it is also a woman's nature, but Jean Nami is indeed not as suitable as Chloe to manage finances, which makes him a little entangled, now it's okay, Chloe is worthy of being a smart talent, and he came up with such a solution at once, and he solved the problem without hurting his anger.
"Okay, that's it. How about Zoro as a co-captain? Luffy asked, looking at Zoro who was drinking with a small flask.
Zoro took a sip of wine and wiped the wine stains from the corners of his mouth: "I'm not interested in the deputy captain, I'm good at slashing people, and the chief swordsman is more suitable for me." ”
"Alright then, then the position of deputy captain is vacant for the time being, Nami, you can be a navigator!" Luffy folded his hands and counted, "Now that we have staff officers, navigators, swordsmen, and snipers, the next thing we're looking for is... Musicians too. ”
"Stupid! You should look for a chef first. Sauron roared.
"Huh? Aren't pirates supposed to have a party? Musicians are important, right? Luffy said suspiciously.
"There must be food and a bar for a banquet, so we should find a chef first." Nami said dissatisfiedly: "Besides, you are a big stomach, if you don't quickly find a chef to turn the resources in the sea into ingredients, our reserve food is not enough for you to eat!" You ate our food for a week alone, you know? ”
"I agree with Miss Nami, Captain, we should get a cook first." Chloe said politely.
"That's right, I'm sorry everyone, I don't know why I'm so good at eating, hahaha..."Luffy laughed, "Then let's find a chef first, do you know where there is a chef around here?" ”
"I do know that there is a sea restaurant in the East China Sea called Bharati, which has the best chefs, but I don't know where Bharati is? Because he's a big ship. Chloe said with a frown.
"Forget it, let's sail first, let's explore slowly." Luffy said nonchalantly, "Now it's time for us to decide on the names of the pirates." ”
"How about calling the Usopp Pirates?" Usopp said positively.
"Bang!" Luffy smashed his fist on Usopp's head, and Usopp was lying on the board with white smoke on his head, and a red envelope came out of his head.
"I'm the captain." Luffy said lightly.
"The Pirates are generally named after the captain's iconic things, for example, my Black Cat Pirates are called the Black Cat Pirates because of my black clothes and eight-bladed cat's claws, I think we might as well be called the Straw Hat Pirates." Chloe looked at the straw hat Luffy was carrying, thought for a moment and said.
"Okay, let's call the Straw Hat Pirates!" Luffy decided, he was happy with the name, "The next thing is to draw the pirate flag, which of you can draw?" ”
Several people looked at each other.
"I won't, mine is drawn by my men." Chloe pushed his glasses.
"I'll only steal..." by Nami
"Slash people!" bySauron
"I... I'll—" Usopp, who was lying on the ground, raised his hand, causing everyone to look at him.
Usopp quickly drew one, but it was painted in his image, with a skull with a long nose, which was rejected by everyone, and then he drew a skull wearing a straw hat, and two bones crossed behind the skeleton, like two swords, to everyone's satisfaction, so they decided to use this, and soon painted the sign of the pirate flag on the sail, and planted the pirate flag on the ship, and that's it,
The Straw Hat Pirates have been formed!
