Sailing begins with becoming Luffy

"So, since Valpo was ousted, there hasn't been a new king in the country, and even his name has been abandoned?"

In the Big Horn Village of the Magnetic Drum Kingdom, Dalton and Luffy and his party entered the village from the port.

After Luffy explained his intentions and handed Valpo over to the people, the villagers let Luffy and the others go at Dalton's instructions.

Now, Dalton is briefing the few people who have disembarked from the Merry about the current state of the Drum Kingdom.

There are only 5 people who came down from the Merry: Luffy, Nami, Sanji, Usopp, and Vivi.

Sauron is now more obsessed with becoming stronger, so he works hard whenever he has time, and now he is probably doing winter swimming training.

As for the members of the Baroque Working Society, they also remained on the Merry.

With Sauron by his side, there is no need to worry about what bad things they will do.

Moreover, Mikita now considers herself a member of the Straw Hat Pirates.

And Miss. Golden Week, also known as Marianu, didn't have much to resist.

The only one to watch out for is Mr. 3, Gar Dino, but with Sauron here, there is basically no need to worry about anything going wrong.

Sauron, who has reached the realm of slaying iron, can basically ignore the candle of Gar-Dino.

"Didn't you think that you would be king to revive the country? I see that the villagers here seem to love you. "

Along the way, most of the villagers who passed by knew Dalton, and as long as they saw Dalton, they would greet him cordially.

"It's okay to let me be the captain of the guard, but I really don't have confidence in governing a country as a king!"

Dalton waved his hand at what Vivi said, and although the people trusted him, he didn't seem to be very confident himself.

Just as the group was following Dalton all the way, a large erect creature approached.

Dalton, who was leading the way in front, bowed to the giant creature quite solemnly as it passed.

"It's a hiking bear, so it's not dangerous, but don't forget the etiquette of mountaineering when you meet it!"

Dalton bowed to the giant bear and explained to Luffy and the others.

Luffy didn't have any objection to bowing to the bear.

After all, it's strictly just a custom, and it's not a big deal.

After seeing Luffy bow to the hiking bear, Nami and the others also bowed to the hiking bear.

Dalton was also quite surprised by the polite behavior of Luffy and others.

After all, they are also pirates, and the gang before directly attacked the Magnetic Drum Kingdom without saying a word.

"By the way, have I seen you somewhere?"

Dalton, who had been observing Luffy and several people, always felt that he had seen this girl somewhere when he saw Vivi.

"That...... Maybe you're mistaken!"

Weiwei obviously didn't want to reveal her identity in front of outsiders, so she shook her hand and denied it.

Nami and the others glanced at Vivi strangely, obviously not understanding the point of hiding their identities at this time.

Luffy didn't say anything about it, and since Vivi didn't want to say it, there was no need for her to expose other people's secrets.

"Huh, are there any hiking bears passing by?"

While everyone was walking and talking, a muscular woman passed by Luffy and the others.

However, her physique, which bears a striking bear's heel, makes Usopp mistake her for a hiking bear, and bows to the other in a stunned look.

"Bang"

Nami pointed straight at Usopp's head and yelled at Usopp.

"You can see it clearly!"

The sturdy women who passed by did not express their dissatisfaction with Usopp's behavior, and may have been mistaken for a hiking bear in normal times.

"Mr. Dalton, I heard that pirates are coming, are you okay?"

The woman asked Dalton, who was leading the way, and at the same time, her eyes were on Luffy and the others.

After all, Luffy and the others are complete faces, and women have always lived in this place, so they naturally know who everyone in this village is.

"Yes, no problem, don't worry. "

Dalton glanced at Luffy and quickly answered the woman's question.

"Really? That's good!"

The woman breathed a sigh of relief, and the look at Dalton looked more respectful.

Dalton was not thrilled by the respect shown by the villagers.

But that's why the people of the village trust Dalton so much.

After all, a leader who is wholeheartedly good to everyone, and the villagers are more than happy to have him govern this abandoned country.

"Mr. Dalton is very respectable!"

What she saw and heard along the way made Vivi admire Dalton.

After all, as the princess of a country, Weiwei naturally hopes to be loved by the people.

And Dalton in front of him is obviously an object worth emulating for Vivi.

However, Vivi raised her eyes again and glanced at Luffy who was walking in front.

Perhaps this is what a leader should look like, with a convincing personality and strong strength.

Vivi involuntarily focused her gaze behind Luffy, her eyes a little misty.

Nami, who was walking aside, keenly noticed Vivi's expression, and glanced at Luffy who was walking in front with some resentment, but in the end she didn't do anything.

"Where, it's just that the villagers are willing to believe in it!"

For Vivi's praise, Dalton was a little embarrassed.

After all, he was only a captain of the guard, but now he is suddenly trusted by the people of the whole country, and this situation really makes Dalton a little overwhelmed.

"This is my dwelling, so rest in my lodging for a while, and I will tell you where Dr. Doriel and the reindeer are. "

Valpo has been locked up in a cage somewhere by the villagers, awaiting tomorrow's verdict.

With Mariannu's laid-back green effect, there's no need to worry about Valpo taking the opportunity to escape.

The group soon arrived at Dalton's quarters, but Usopp clearly had a deep interest in Snow Country.

When Luffy and the others sat down to rest, he was still building a snowman outside, even if it was a person, he was still enthusiastic.

"This bastard knows what an occasion!"

Regarding Usopp's behavior, Sanji only said that it was really naïve, and such a big person still had a preference for building a snowman.

"Those cliffs are called Drum Loki Mountain, and the castle where Lady Doriel lives is on the highest hill in the middle. "

Dalton motioned for Luffy and the others to look out the window, then pointed to the tallest of them and said to Luffy.
