One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Mechanic

"How was it? Am I very powerful?"

On the way home, Luffy was carrying the big wild boar, his face full of pride.

""Great, great!"

Carl weighed the three little wild boars hanging on his body and said this without any hesitation.

He originally just wanted to get one to improve his life, but Luffy was so good that he killed the whole family.

However, Carl would not complain about too much meat.

"Then be my partner"

"Never!"Karl shook his head and refused,"Even if you can beat the wild boar, I won't join you."

"Why?"

"What's the reason?"

"There must be some"

"Then why do you want to be a pirate?"

"Because I promised a man that I would become the Pirate King!"

"only...An agreement?"

"if not?"

Luffy still looks carefree. It seems that becoming the Pirate King is as easy as playing house for him.

"Do you know how difficult it is to become the Pirate King?"

"who cares!"Luffy shook his head, pointed to the sky, and said with great ambition,"Because since the day I went to sea, I have made up my mind to become the Pirate King."

"Even if...I am willing to sacrifice my life for this!"

"A promise to risk your life? You really are....Young! Karl smiled bitterly and shook his head,"As everyone knows, sometimes living requires more courage than death.""

"Don't you understand? Carl, what you say is really interesting. Anyway, I won't stop until I fall!"

"Our wills are different, so give up, I won't go on board with you." Carl refused again,"You are a pirate, you have to be the pirate king."

"And I will never become a pirate!"

"Why? What's wrong with being a pirate?"

"What's so good about being a pirate?"

Karl couldn't understand why the other party had to become a pirate. It was just an agreement. Could it be so valuable?

Moreover, when they were young and ignorant, how binding was the agreement?

"Pirates can find many friends, have their own ship, and have banquets with everyone! What's wrong!"

"Even if you are not a pirate, you can have like-minded partners, have your own ship, or have a party with your friends."

"Pirates can also sail on the sea to find legendary secret treasures——ONE PIECE"

"The identity of a pirate is not a ticket to success. You can pursue these things even if you are not a pirate."Carl shook his head and continued,"Besides, pirates have to worry about being hunted by the navy. Why add to the burden?"

As they spoke, the two had returned to the previous hut.

After putting the wild boar down, Carl took out a dagger and started to deal with it. At the same time, he directed Luffy to move some firewood and build a barbecue grill.

The two divided the work and worked step by step, but the conversation never stopped while they were working.

"If we are chased by the navy, we should just defeat them." Luffy said,"Pirates are always chased by the navy!"

"But they are also the children of their parents, and they also represent families. To you, it may be just a simple punch. It doesn’t even take a second from thinking to punching, but it can break several families. I don’t know. How many parents stayed up all night, and how many children became orphans"

"ah? Is that so? Then I won’t kill them in the future."Luffy said with some confusion.

"But if you don't kill them, they will kill you!"

"What does it matter? Since you have chosen to go out to sea, you must be prepared to lose your life!"

"But even if you don't kill, there will always be other pirates who will. There are thousands of pirates in the world, so what do you mean?"

"That's their business!"Luffy rubbed his head, feeling a little dizzy, and at the same time his interest in Carl increased a bit.

"But some of them, perhaps because they heard about your deeds, decided to go to sea, kill people, or be killed. You are also jointly and severally responsible."

"Huh? I don't understand!"

"Just like you and that person agreed to become the Pirate King, he is your guide, and he is also responsible for your actions."

"oh~~"Although Luffy said"oh" with a long tone, his puzzled expression showed that he obviously didn't understand.

Carl had no choice but to change his angle.

"Since you said you wanted to be a pirate, let me ask you something."

"Then ask!"After listening to the book for a long time, Luffy finally understood a sentence and finally put on a serious face. He sat cross-legged on a stone, pressed his hands on his knees, and grinned widely,"If my answer satisfies you, you are Aren’t you going to get on my ship?"

"maybe...."Carl didn't mean it

"Then start"

"Since you want to be a pirate, you must go out to sea. So where does your ship come from?"

"My boat? It was funded by everyone! But I lost it when I encountered a whirlpool."

"So what are you going to do now?"

Luffy looked at Carl with fiery eyes, and Carl was frightened and quickly explained:

"I've already told you that I don't have a boat, and even if I did, I wouldn't give it to you for free!"

"Yeah~~ Then go find a kind person."

Karl:......

Do you think everyone else is a fool?

"There are not so many kind people in the world!"

"Then go to the market and buy one!"

"Buying things costs money. Do you have money on you?"Karl looked at Luffy up and down, and roughly estimated his worth. The whole body combined was probably not as valuable as his knife.

"It seems not..."Luffy was a little distressed. After thinking for a while, he suddenly realized,"I'm a pirate! Can't I just go and rob?"

Carl: You just remembered that you are a pirate!

Carl was already a little helpless with this guy in front of him. How could the other party's reaction be so slow? He had said it so clearly, but he still had to go around for a long time to get into the trap he designed.

"That's a big deal?" Carl spread his hands,"Pirates are just robbing!"

"As sea robbers, you will not make even a small contribution to this world if you are not engaged in production."

"And everything you need, ships, knife tips, even food and fresh water, will not fall from the sky."

"What should I do? I can only rob it!"

Karl smiled faintly:

"But those things are also the supplies they rely on for survival. If you rob their money, they may die of the most common diseases tomorrow because they cannot afford a doctor. If you rob their food, if there is a famine next year, they may die. Thousands of people starved to death."
