Chapter 218 Stealing the Golden Merry

"You want their pirate ship?!"

Uchiha Feiyu looked at Nami with shock, then glanced at the Golden Merry, the expression on his face almost unable to hold back.

Nami, the little thief cat, was a little confused. Why did Uchiha Feiyu react so strongly? Was it because of the navy hero Garp?

That makes sense... After all, that navy hero is Luffy's grandfather. He stole Luffy's pirate ship, so maybe he would have some other ideas...

"Is it because of Mr. Garp? That's right. Although these people are pirates, they haven't done anything evil. On the contrary, they have done a lot of good things. And there's no bounty. For the sake of that old man..."

"Great, great, I totally support this idea!"

Uchiha Feiyu's distorted expression quickly turned into excitement. He put his hands on Nami's shoulders and showed an excited smile on his face:

"Leave it to you, Nami! Let's get them drunk first, and then we can just drive the boat away!"

Although the Golden Merry is much larger than the small sailboat, it is still a small vessel and can be operated by two people.

Of course, what Uchiha Feiyu actually wants to know more is, after Nami stole the ship of the Straw Hat Pirates, what direction will the plot of this world develop in? It feels so interesting!

Oh...you said that in the original story it was Nami who stole the Straw Hat Pirates' ship, so that's fine.

Even though Nami is just a little girl, she has probably been on the sea for so many years that her alcohol tolerance is not bad at all. Getting the pirates drunk and then stealing their treasures is a very common way for this little thief to collect treasures.

Sanji is a pure bootlicker. If Nami smiles a little, this guy will lose his way and it will be easy to get him drunk.

There is no need to explain much to Luffy. Even if you put knockout drugs into the meat in front of him and say it is a seasoning, he will still eat it all up while saying it tastes a bit weird.

Usopp is smart but too timid and likes to brag. It's easy to get him drunk as long as you hold him down while he's bragging.

The only difficulty is that Zoro, who is very vigilant, is now in a seriously injured state. After eating, he went straight to rest and sleep.

And the chefs under Zeff are not members of the Straw Hat Pirates. Even now, Sanji is only somewhat interested and is not yet a member of the Straw Hat Pirates. Naturally, no one will help the Straw Hat Pirates to watch the ship.

So after a banquet, Uchiha Feiyu and Nami took the two doll bounties, sneaked into the Golden Merry, and drove the ship away directly.

Anyway, there was nothing else on the small sailboat, so Uchiha Feiyu took the supplies and his own clothes, and Nami took some oranges and orange saplings, and then they left the small sailboat there.

After an hour or two, a chef at a restaurant on the sea accidentally discovered that the Golden Merry had been sailed away, leaving only a small sailboat in its place. He hurriedly ran to call everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates.

"What?! The Golden Merry was taken away!!"

When the Straw Hat Boy heard the news, he jumped three feet high in fright. With a whoosh, before he could run over, his head had already hit the window and came to the side of the boat.

Sure enough, the Golden Merry next to the sea restaurant had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a pitiful little sailboat floating in the sea, as if mocking him.

"Damn it...my ship!!!"

"Usopp, Zoro, hurry up, our ship has been stolen!!"

"What!?"

Zoro woke up immediately, but as soon as he stood up, he felt a sharp pain in his chest and had to lie down again unwillingly.

There was no way. This guy had just been slashed by Hawkeye. Even if the world's greatest swordsman showed mercy, Zoro's injuries were not light at all. If he were a normal person, even someone from the pirate world, he would have to lie down for four or five days.

Zoro's physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary people, and his recovery ability is also extremely strong. If he can rest for a night, he can basically recover most of his strength - however, now Zoro has only had two or three hours of rest, including eating, so his wounds have naturally not recovered yet.

"Golden Merry!! Damn, damn thieves, I knew those two guys were not good people, they even stole the pirate ship!! It's too much!!"

Usopp rushed out as soon as he received the news. Seeing that there was only empty sea surface left at the original ship's location, he immediately became so angry that his eyes turned red.

Because the Golden Merry was a gift from Usopp's childhood sweetheart, Miss Kaya, this ship is extremely important to Usopp. He may be the person who cares about this ship the most in the entire pirate group.

"Luffy, we can't let these thieves who stole the ship go! Let's go and get the Golden Merry back together."

Usopp, who had always been very timid, grabbed Luffy's head and shook it madly.

"No matter what, we can't let these little thieves take the Golden Merry away. Let's get going quickly, Captain!"

Luffy's head was shaken back and forth, and he shouted loudly:
"Wait, wait, wait a minute, Zoro hasn't fully recovered yet..."

"It's okay, Luffy."

Using his famous sword as a cane, Zoro slowly walked out of the cabin:
"Let's go together! I can recover from my injuries on the way."

"Well, all right then! Sanji, do you want to get on board and set off with me? Our pirate group is just in need of a chef!"

Luffy seemed to have thought of something, turned his head to look at Sanji, and asked with a smile. Sanji sighed and put out the cigarette in his mouth:

"Idiot, you're still on your ship? Your ship has been taken away. I've never seen such a miserable pirate group and such a stupid pirate captain."

"I can't do anything about you stupid idiots. Just leave you idiots alone!"

After saying this, Sanji flicked the cigarette butt in his hand, turned around and walked into the restaurant, and said lightly:
"Wait for me, I'll get some supplies from the restaurant. If we want to catch up with them, we must first make sure we don't go hungry!!"

Sanji walked into the restaurant and saw Zeff standing opposite him. He showed a little hesitation on his face and said to the father figure in his mind:
"Old man, I'm going to help Luffy and the others with something, and I'll be back when the time comes..."

"No need to come back!"

Zeff shook his head and looked at Sanji with some emotion, as if he saw the future:
"You are old enough now. It's time to go out to sea! Let's go with the Straw Hat Kid. Although he doesn't look very smart, he is indeed a very good captain."

"Old man, what are you talking about? I don't want to leave the Sea Restaurant..." "Are you willing to do that? The Sea Restaurant is just a place for me to retire. Even when I was young, I would never think of staying in the Sea Restaurant for the rest of my life."

"I know you've always felt indebted to me for my broken leg because of what happened before, but that was my own choice. And since I've already sacrificed my leg for your life, you should take my dream with you and sail on the sea together!"

Sanji was silent for a moment, then wiped his eyes with his hand:
"Old man, why are you so sentimental all of a sudden? I'm just... just going out to sea... Even if I leave with that Straw Hat Boy, I'll only be gone for a few years at most."

"Okay, man, make up your mind and stop fussing."

Zhepu waved his hand impatiently, turned around, and raised his head slightly:
"Get along well with your new companions and pursue your dreams!"

By the time Sanji and a group of chefs came out with bags of food, Usopp had already adjusted the entire boat, which was the boat that Uchiha Feiyu and his men had left behind.

After putting all the food on the boat, Sanji turned his head to look at the restaurant on the sea. He seemed to see the figure of an old man in the light of the cabin on the second floor.

"Let's go, let's go!!"

With Luffy's shout, the boat raised its sails and sailed away. However, at this time, Usopp, who was maneuvering the boat, seemed to have thought of something, turned his head and glared at Luffy:

"Luffy...where should we go?"

"Of course, we have to get the Golden Merry back!"

"But...where did the Golden Merry go?"

"Uh...this..."

For a moment, the two looked at each other, and then Luffy seemed to react, with an extremely horrified expression on his face:

"No no... I don't know... I don't know either!! What should I do? What should I do?! The Golden Merry is about to be stolen!!!"

Sanji: "..."

Is it too late to go back and apologize to the old man and tell him that I want to be a chef?
"Stop arguing, you idiots!"

Zoro, who was resting on the small sailboat, probably couldn't stand Luffy and Usopp's funny behavior anymore, so he opened the door and walked out, throwing out a note:
"It's written here that the other party went to Rogue Town! If we want to find our ship, let's go to Rogue Town together!"

“Huh!? So that’s how it is!”

Luffy patted his chest, a relieved expression on his face:
"I didn't expect that he would leave us a note. He's such a nice guy!"

"Idiot, they were the ones who stole our pirate ship!"

Usopp was so angry that he grabbed Luffy's neck and shouted:

"Also, don't trust the enemy's words so easily! They might have some conspiracy!"

"Even if there's some conspiracy, we have to go! No matter what, we have to get the Golden Merry back."

Zoro crossed his arms and spoke coldly, his eyes full of fighting spirit:

"Let me take the boat and lead everyone to Rogue Town to meet this ship thief!"

"Stay away from the rudder!" ×2
In an instant, Luffy and Usopp stopped arguing and directly pushed down Zoro who was trying to steer the ship, thus avoiding the fate of getting lost all the way to Raftel.

After setting their target, the Straw Hat Pirates did not hesitate and followed the direction of Rogue Town on the nautical chart and sailed away on their small sailboat.

In Rogue Town, Uchiha Feiyu and Nami drove the Golden Merry and stopped at the port terminal.

The pirate flag on the Golden Merry has been taken down by Uchiha Feiyu. Putting this thing on it is a source of ridicule and will attract the attention of a large number of navy.

Although Uchiha Feiyu didn't care much about the Navy of the East China Sea, he obviously didn't want to cause any trouble. The most important thing was that he was not a pirate yet. He was just planning to set up an adventure group for fun.

As the gateway island from the East China Sea to the Grand Line, and also the place where the former Pirate King Roger was executed, Roger Town is extremely important both in practical and symbolic sense, and such a place would naturally be guarded by the navy.

The chief officer of the naval base guarding Rogue Town is named Smoker, a user of the natural smoke fruit ability, with the rank of colonel in the headquarters, and probably the strongest naval officer in the entire East China Sea.

In the original work, Smoker had chased the Straw Hat Pirates to a point where they had no way out and almost captured the Straw Hat Kid - if the Straw Hat Kid's father had not come to the rescue in person, Luffy would probably have had to spend his life in the pirate prison.

However, the Smoke Fruit is almost the worst among all the natural devil fruits. When Haki had not yet appeared in the pirate world, it was naturally invincible.

Unfortunately, in the later version updates, Smoker immediately became the tears of the times - even the Flame-Flame Fruit was no longer worthy of being eaten by dogs, and the even more useless Smoke Fruit was probably not even as good as an Animal-type fruit in the eyes of many people.

The current Uchiha Feiyu has mastered the domineering power after the version update. With his current strength, he is not afraid of Smoker, a natural type with little attack power.

"Come on, Nami, let's go to Rogue Town."

After taking a look around the dock, Uchiha Feiyu saw a lot of pirate ships on the dock and couldn't help but secretly complain:
Rogue Town is the entrance to the Grand Line, and all these pirate ships are parked directly in Rogue Town, swaggering around without any disguise.

In the original novel, the residents of Rogue Town also said that after Smoker came to Rogue Town, he vigorously cracked down on pirates, and there were fewer pirates than before. Even the boss who sold knives said that after Smoker came, his business plummeted...

What kind of chaos was the original Rogue Town in? Was it a pirate island? This was the most peaceful East China Sea, so it was easy to imagine what chaos was happening in other seas.

"Okay... Hey, let's send these two captured pirates to the naval base first!"

Nami laughed twice and pulled Ajin and Creek out directly. Their injuries were only treated hastily. In addition, they were only given some wine to drink and no food in the past two days, so the two of them had no power to resist now.

Nami looks like just an ordinary girl with a petite and slim figure, but she is actually quite strong. It’s just that all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates are superhuman, so she looks like a delicate little girl.

With Nami's strength, it was not difficult for her to carry the two prisoners.
