New World Naval Headquarters.

Marshal's Office.

Sean held the phone bug, and his face was crying and laughing.

"So, you mean..."

"The new commander of the CP has been forcing you to hand over the manufacturing technology of the ironclad ship, and then he clashed with the Straw Hat Suspicion who happened to be in the capital of the Seven Waters, and finally caused the Judicial Island Incident."

"Although you weren't directly or indirectly involved in this incident, Luffy and the others accidentally helped you get rid of the persecution of P9, so you agreed to help them build a steel pirate ship?"

Sean asked with a brief summary of what had happened.

"That's right, we didn't provide them with the technology to make ironclads, but gave them a finished ship."

"Marshal Sean, they're not the kind of pirates who burn and loot, but simply go to sea to adventure, can..."

Esbagu tried to intercede for the Straw Hat's doubts.

Merely...

"Esbagu, I know better than you what kind of person Luffy is."

"But you have to understand that many times it is not the most vicious pirates who cause the most harm to the world, but the same pirates who shout for freedom all day long."

"The appearance of One Piece Roger once led to the era of pirates, so that in the past twenty years, the number of recorded civilian deaths alone has reached millions, not to mention those who are maimed or whose homes have been destroyed."

"So, Roger, is he a pirate who takes pleasure in burning and looting?"

"No, he's not!"

"Regarding Luffy, I gave him three chances, but he didn't cherish it, and he still set foot on the path of pirates, and aimed at One Piece!"

"Leave him alone?"

"Is that waiting for him to become the king of the pirates, and then he will come out to trigger the next era of pirates, and then countless civilians will pay for it?"

"If it's just for the sake of risk, then why do you have to hang the pirate flag?"

"Could it be that the profession of adventurer has been swallowed by him?"

Akaiu has a notion that Sean strongly approves of.

That's...

When you hang the flag of a pirate, you are already the original sin.

Bad things have been done or not!

For example, if Luffy never burns and loots, as his fame grows, more people will inevitably worship him and go to sea to become a pirate.

So can these pirates who went to sea because they worshiped Luffy be all like Luffy, who only traveled and adventured, and did not burn and loot?

Obviously, this is not possible.

After all, with the exception of a very few pirates, the vast majority of pirates are murderous beings.

So here's the problem...

Is Luffy responsible for the people killed by these pirates?

Maybe there is no direct responsibility, but it is definitely indirect responsibility.

Therefore, as long as you are a pirate, it is already the original sin, the original sin that the navy has to fight and destroy!

It doesn't matter if you've ever done something bad since you became a pirate.

What's more, nearly 10,000 sailors on Justice Island died tragically, and this debt must also be counted on Luffy.

Esbagu was silent, unable to refute it in the slightest.

After all, he'd never seen things from a different perspective than Sean.

Now listen to what Sean has to say...

------

At the same time.

The port of the capital of the seven waters.

The Alabastan stop is not far away.

A cruiser flying the flag of the Navy is slowly docking.

This is not a cruiser of the New World Navy, but of the Main Navy.

The one that Sean gave to Karp in the first place.

At this moment, Karp no longer has the grinning appearance of the past, but frowns.

Especially when I saw the dozens of steel ships in the port

After the warship, the brow tightened.

That guy from the yellow ape already knew a few days ago that the Navy of the Kingdom of Alabastan was going to encircle Luffy, but he kept it a secret.

If he hadn't found out by accident, and asked the yellow ape "politely", he would have been hiding it from him.

Damn it...

Hopefully not late!

Alas, this time I can only be sorry for that kid Sean!!

------

At this moment, the hotel where the Straw Hats stayed was surrounded by thousands of Alabastani sailors.

They were heavily armed, each armed with a new type of gun provided by Sean, and there were even a large number of snipers armed with sniper rifles in the buildings within a kilometer of the surrounding area.

That's right, in the navy of the kingdom of Alabastan, there really is no single combat power that is too strong.

However, the individual weapons and equipment used by it are much stronger than those of the headquarters.

And just two streets on the side, Vivi, who had completed the capture of Arrita and Kirby, had also arrived.

"Have all the irrelevant personnel inside been evacuated?"

"It's all gone, princess, and the Straw Hat didn't stop it!"

Hearing this, Vivi nodded.

"I'm not going to waste time with them, push the artillery up, and just blast!!"

"Princess, this... Isn't that okay?"

"It's okay, the royal family of Alabastan will be responsible for all the losses, let's do it!"

"Yes, Princess!"

A moment later, dozens of artillery pieces brought by the fleet were pushed up by a group of Alabastani sailors.

And Karina, who was hiding by the window on the third floor and observing, ready to find an opportunity to break through, exploded in an instant.

Hey, hey...

Is it going to be so exaggerated?

I counted it myself, and there were 38 guns in total.

Is this ready to bomb directly?

The navy of Alabastan, is it so violent?

Also, as the mayor, Esbagu didn't react at all?

The next moment, just when Karina's eyes widened and before she could react...

Boom boom...

A barrage of shelling was already ringing.

On the ship, Luffy and they can still intercept.

But now that they're in the house, it's not so easy to intercept.

At such a close distance, the accuracy of the artillery was terrifying, and it directly blew up the third floor, and even the fourth floor collapsed directly because of the unstable support below.

After a while.

The thick smoke and dust raised by the shelling finally dispersed a little, and people could barely see what was going on.

I saw that there was a huge ball of meat in the room on the third floor, and the targets were gone.

Just when everyone was wondering.

At that stage, there were faint sounds coming from below the meat ball.

"Idiot... Can't... Breathe... I'm going to suffocate..."

The choppy sound makes people a little confused.

And at this moment, the ball of meat quickly shrinks and eventually becomes a small child.

Looks like only 4 or 5 years old.

Although judging from the appearance, this should be the goal, but this age is not right!!

The sailors of Alabastan were a little confused.

But Vivi has already realized that this guy is Luffy, who protected his companions below after he got bigger?

Now that I've regained my ability, it's so small...

Could it be a side effect?

This was really guessed by Vivi, that is the side effect of Luffy's third block.

After using this move, the body will temporarily become smaller.

"Luffy, are you an idiot?"

"That's right, although they didn't blow it up, they almost suffocated it to death!"

"Can't you have some common sense?"

"How could Lao Tzu cooperate with an idiot like you..."

Karina, Bucky, and Sanji complained frantically to Luffy as soon as they got out.

Just now, they almost thought they were going to suffocate to death, but now that they think about it, their hearts still beat non-stop.

It's simply ...

And Luffy, who is in the state of a villain, scratched his head heartlessly.

"Ah, sorry, I didn't pay attention for a while!"
