Showdown, this is the pirate chat group

As long as they don't go too far, don't burn, kill, loot, or commit crimes as heinous as pirates, then turn a blind eye.

But when Luffy and the others heard that the other party was a Devil Fruit user, they suddenly became interested.

As the saying goes, ability makes people expand.

The reason why gangsters are gangsters and not pirates is because most gangsters are not strong enough to support them to fight on the sea, so they can only live in one place. Therefore, these guys are less lethal and have less impact on order. The navy can also tolerate their presence, and when the pirates are pacified, they can come back to deal with them.

But this is based on lack of strength. When strength is sufficient, people will expand, which will make this gangster continue to expand its territory and gradually become a big gangster with a large territory and dozens or hundreds of towns.

And when these territories are not enough to satisfy them, they will become a very unstable and uncontrollable factor. In many precedents of the Navy, many pirates were formerly gangsters, all of which were due to the acquisition of wealth that made them expand. Ability, the Devil Fruit.

Since he is a person with abilities and has gone astray, it is necessary to take care of him.

If we don't care now, we don't know if we will become the navy's formidable enemy when we grow up in the future, because every ability user has the potential to develop into a great pirate.

But for Luffy and the others, the more direct reason is that absolute defense is very interesting.

This person is worth fighting.

Luffy picked up the already prepared octopus balls, took some banknotes and put them on the table, and then said to the boss:

"I paid the money first, and I'll come back later to get the rest."

After saying that, he walked towards the gangsters with Ace and the others.

The Takoball owner looked at the bills on the table and collected the money first, then looked at Luffy and the others. These teenagers would not really want to fight with these gangsters. Go fight?

In his opinion, although Luffy and the others were wearing navy uniforms, judging from their age, they were probably handymen or something like that.

And Bartolomeo's group had driven away the previous group of gangsters. The gangsters were stronger than Bartolomeo and the others in terms of number and age, but they were defeated by them.

This undoubtedly proves that they are stronger.

Now Luffy and the three of them seem to be a mixed bag. The young boy who served actually wanted to challenge Bartolomeo and the others. The owner of Takoyaki regretted that he should not have spoken so much to them just now, otherwise he would not have prompted them to challenge. I am afraid that this battle will be a disaster.

Luffy and the others Although they have only been on this street for a very short time, the shops on the street are very familiar with and have a good impression of these three generous young men with good appetites. After all, they are the God of Wealth. In their astonished eyes, these three figures The"handyman" wearing a navy uniform actually walked directly towards Bartolomeo and the gangsters.

Are you a newborn calf who is not afraid of tigers?

The gangsters don't care whether you are wearing a navy uniform or not. If you are not strong enough, even if you are wearing one It's a navy uniform, so it doesn't scare them. Maybe they don't dare to attack the navy openly, but secretly they are capable of doing evil. After all, they are just three teenagers and have no ability to protect themselves. The shopkeepers looked at Luffy and the others with some worry , it is not a good thing for these teenagers to mess with gangsters.

But now it is too late to stop them, because the people have already walked in front of Bartolomeo and the others. If they speak now, they will be hurt. After all, they still have to do business here.

Bartolomeo looked at the three little ones in front of him with some surprise. They were not tall, probably no more than fifteen years old. They were wearing blue and white navy uniforms. One of them was holding a plate of octopus balls. The three of them were He stood directly in front of their path, seemingly blocking them from leaving.

"Get out of the way, you three brats, haven’t you heard that a good dog stays out of the way?"The younger brother behind Bartolomeo immediately shouted.

They had already settled it before they took action. If ordinary people stood in front of them, they would be pushed away, or they would have to receive a few punches and pay tolls.

But now Although the three people in front of them were young, they were all wearing bright navy uniforms, so they did not take action directly. It would be a bit troublesome to do so, and it was in front of so many people, so it would be a secluded place. , in one word, then you are gone.

Bartolomeo held his hands in his hands and looked at these three little ones with raised corners of his mouth. After all this time, he actually had the courage to stop him, even if an adult saw his"evil" Even though they looked away from each other, these three brats did not avoid it.

Looking at the three people, he suddenly felt that they looked familiar. Not long ago, he took his younger brother through the square. At that time, three brats climbed onto the execution platform where Roger, the Pirate King, was executed. The one above said wildly that he would become a naval admiral.

The three brats seemed to be wearing navy uniforms. The three brats in front of them were also wearing navy uniforms.

The three... navy uniforms... were on the execution platform just now Are they the ones uttering such arrogant words?

"It turned out to be you."Bartolomeo said, it wouldn't be surprising if the three of them could talk about becoming admirals without realizing it. No wonder they would be so courageous to block his way.

The young man is courageous. Most likely, he looked at them. I just got a free ticket, so my sense of justice suddenly swelled, and I wanted to come to see Yong Yu.

It's amazing, it's amazing, Bartolomeo looked at Luffy and the others jokingly.

"Do you know us?"Ace asked.

Luffy next to him was still stuffing balls into his mouth. He had to finish it quickly. It would be wasted if he started fighting later.

"You must be the little devils who just made such nonsense on the execution platform. Bartolomeo smiled and said,"Why, what do you want to do when you block the road?"

You're not here to catch me, are you? I am not a pirate, I am a good law-abiding citizen, three admirals!"

Hearing Bartolomeo call them admirals, Luffy, who was eating meatballs, raised his head in surprise and waved his hands a little embarrassedly:"Hey, we are not admirals yet."

"He's not complimenting you!"Ace and Sabo looked at Luffy speechlessly. This kid's brain is too simple. He can't even hear the sarcasm.

"Eh, is that right?"Luffy exclaimed.

Bartolomeo looked a little funny at the conversation between the three. He was indeed a brat. This was too naive.
