I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

Volume 1: Chapter 282 The Great Adventure in the Pirate World

Riding on a somersault—I mean, a bootleg Zeus—Luffy wandered aimlessly across the Eastern Sea.

"Hmm, where should we go first?"

Rufu lowered his head and pondered.

With Luffy's current strength, clearing the East Blue, the beginner's village, should be a piece of cake.

It's the kind of game you could beat with your eyes closed.

Luffy is now considering whether to bypass the East China Sea and go directly into the Grand Line to take a look.

After thinking it over, Luffy made up his mind.

What's so fun about the East Blue? Just go straight to the Grand Line and fight the Celestial Dragons.

Anyway, Luffy can leave at any time and isn't afraid of being retaliated against by the Celestial Dragons.

Without further ado, Luffy patted Zeus's head at his feet, and Zeus immediately understood, carrying Luffy and flying towards the Grand Line.

At Zeus's speed, it didn't take long for it to bring Luffy to the town closest to the Grand Line.

Rogue Town.

Legend has it that the Pirate King Roger was executed here.

Since he was already there, Luffy decided to explore Loguetown first.

After asking around, Luffy arrived at the place where Roger was executed without any trouble.

However, more than ten years have passed, and apart from the execution rack that remains here, probably no one would believe that the legendary Pirate King was executed here.

If Luffy were the mayor of this town, he would definitely put a statue of Roger being executed on this execution platform.

If you're willing to spend a little more money, you can go up to the execution platform and cosplay as an executioner.

Maybe a lot of people will come here to take photos then.

Even if Roger dies, he can still bring glory to his hometown, Loguetown.

I'm a little hungry!

In the simulated universe, Luffy had been there for almost half a day.

Although I don't know what time it is outside.

But having not eaten for half a day, Luffy was also getting hungry.

Fortunately, Luffy didn't have to worry about money.

After casually conjuring a gold bar with the Gold-Gold Fruit, Luffy then walked into a restaurant on the street.

"Boss, bring me all your best dishes and drinks!"

Luffy sat down and slammed the gold bar on the table.

The shop owner's eyes lit up when he saw the gold bars.

"Please wait a moment, sir, I'll bring it to you right away!"

Just as Luffy was waiting for his lunch, he was suddenly surrounded by a group of burly men.

They looked Ruf up and down with malicious eyes.

After all, it's a world dominated by pirates. This world may not have many other things, but it has the most pirates.

The gold bars Luffy had just pulled out immediately made the pirates who were originally eating there think they had encountered a fat sheep.

"Hey buddy, you look pretty rich!"

The man at the head, who seemed to be the leader, had a fierce-looking face and was looking at Luffy with the eyes of someone eyeing a treasure.

"You're wrong, I don't look that rich!"

"Oh, what is that?"

The pirate leader also intended to have some fun with Luffy.

After all, these people around him were all from his pirate ship, and the other party was just one person. How could he kill them all?

"I'm super rich!"

With a wave of his hands, Luffy's table was instantly filled with all sorts of gold coins and bars.

Upon seeing the gold bars and coins, the surrounding pirates immediately revealed greedy eyes.

With so much gold, you could easily buy a sizable island.

They've been pirates for so many years, they've never seen so much gold before.

After pulling off this job, they could practically retire.

"Kid, do you know who I am?"

The pirate leader drew his scimitar from his waist and looked at Luffy with ill intent.

"do not know!"

Ruf shook his head at this.

After all, there really weren't any memorable pirates in the East Blue Saga.

Besides the main characters, there's probably Buggy and Gin, whose future appearances are uncertain.

The others were basically just small fry.

After all, the East Sea is the weakest of the four seas.

"Then I'll tell you, I'm the great pirate with a bounty of 900,000 Berries, known as Jack the Curved Blade!"

The pirate named Jack pulled out a bounty poster from his pocket, which prominently featured his own image.

"Nine hundred thousand Berries, that's really impressive!"

At this moment, Luffy was also barely suppressing his laughter.

Luffy remembered that guy, who was known as the Mountain Bandit King, had a bounty of several million Berries.

How dare you call yourself a great pirate when you have a bounty of 900,000 on your head?

However, considering the situation in the East Blue, he might actually be considered a great pirate.

Seeing that Luffy didn't speak, Jack assumed that he was too intimidated by his reputation to say anything.

"Kid, I'm in a good mood today. Hand over your valuables and I'll spare your life!"

"Row!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy threw down the gold on the table and then left the restaurant.

"Our boss is awesome! He scared them away!"

"That's right, as expected of the boss!"

Seeing this, Jack's subordinates immediately began to flatter him, which pleased Jack greatly.

"That's right! Don't you know who I, Jack, am? If you follow me, you'll definitely live a life of luxury in the future!"

"The boss is mighty!"

Upon hearing this, the surrounding pirates quickly cheered.

"You two, come and count how much gold is here!"

Seeing the table full of gold made Jack excited.

With so much money, why bother having children? Just buy a small island and a few women as concubines.

Isn't this life more promising than being a pirate?

Jack had already decided that he would run away with the gold that very night.

As for the pirate ship and pirate crew, let whoever wants to be one be one!

"Boss, we've counted almost all of it. There's probably around one billion Berries worth of gold here!"

A billion peso—hearing that was so much made Pele feel a surge of excitement; he felt like he should just grab the money and run away right now.

But Jack knew that wouldn't do. If he dared to run away, these pirates who had just called him their boss would definitely chop him into mincemeat.

Thinking of this, Jack waved his hand.

"Brothers, we're in luck today! Let's drink until we drop tonight! Boss, bring me all the alcohol in your bar!"

"Long live the boss!"

Seeing the pirates around him starting to drink like crazy, Jack couldn't help but sneer.

Drink up, drink more! If we all get drunk, no one will know that I ran away with the gold tonight!

Suddenly, the tavern was filled with the lively sounds of pirates feasting.

In order to get these pirates drunk, Jack kept urging them to drink.

Soon, all the pirates in the tavern became drunk.

Seeing that the time was right, Jack prepared to run away with the gold.

The blissful days of being surrounded by beauties seemed to be calling to her.

But at that moment, the tavern door was kicked open, and a group of people dressed in white naval uniforms instantly surrounded the place.

Volume 1: Chapter 283 A Trap Been Set Up

"It's the Navy!"

The pirates, who had been so arrogant just moments before, immediately changed their expressions upon seeing the marines who had suddenly barged in.

"Is this the place? Is the navy causing trouble?"

As a female voice rang out, a girl with short black hair and Luffy walked into the tavern.

"Yes, that's right, these pirates stole my money! Waaaaah! My little money~!"

After thinking through all the sad things in his life, Luffy finally managed to squeeze out a few tears from the corners of his eyes.

"You damn guy!"

Seeing that Luffy dared to report to the authorities, Jack was immediately filled with rage.

"Commander Watashi, look at him, he still dares to threaten me!"

Seeing Jack glaring at him, Luffy immediately pretended to be scared.

Upon hearing this, Tashigi drew her famous sword from her waist and glared fiercely at Jack.

"Enough! You born evil pirate, I'll personally drag you to jail!"

Upon hearing Tashigi's words, Jack revealed a hint of mockery.

"Hahaha, with your looks and your looks, I think you shouldn't be a pirate. How about becoming my concubine instead?"

Tashigi blushed instantly upon hearing Jack's insult.

"Enough talk, you damned pirate! Today I will bring you to justice!"

As she spoke, Tashigi raised her sword and attacked Jack.

Jack, however, didn't seem to care.

"Who do you think I am? I'm Jack the Curved Blade, the great pirate with 900,000 Berries!"

As he spoke, Jack drew his curved sword and slashed at Tashigi.

It can only be said that Jack truly lived up to his reputation as a pirate with 900,000 Berries; he was knocked to the ground by Tashigi in less than three minutes.

Seeing that Jack was no longer able to fight, Tashigi took a deep breath and sheathed her sword.

Seeing that their leader had been defeated, the surrounding pirates immediately lost their will to fight.

Soon all the pirates in the tavern were captured.

The Marines also found the gold that Luffy had deliberately left behind on Jack.

“Look at Mr. Luffy, isn’t this the gold that was stolen from you?”
