The Age of Heroic Spirits in the Eyes of the Reincarnated

"Uncle Jun, Xia Jun, why did you attack Zoro and Sanji before?"

Luffy, holding a bare bone stick in each hand and his cheeks bulging, asked after swallowing a mouthful of delicious barbecue.

"Let's eat first, and then we'll talk on your ship. It's not convenient here."

Li Xia waved her hand, meaning something.

Talking about business in a tavern is undoubtedly stupid.

Although this tavern has been controlled by Bruno, this street in the town has also been targeted by Lucci, Kaku, and Kalifa, who have recovered from their injuries and have woken up. In addition, his Kagura Heart Eye monitors the entire town. But it's better to be safe than sorry.

Not long after, everyone was full.

"Boss, is the barbecue ready?"

"It's ready, it's ready..."

"Well, 100,000 Baileys are on the table. Thank you for the hospitality, boss."

"Take care, guests."

The money is naturally not from the father and son, but from Bruno and Lucci who have saved up for five years working in the Water City.

These agents are really something. They make money but don't know how to spend it.

How can we boost the local economy without spending?

Arrived on the Straw Hat Pirates' Golden Merry.

Li Xia let the ship sail into the sea first, and then chatted with Luffy and others:

"Before, we attacked Zoro and Sanji just to test the strength of your three main forces. My father and I have no ill intentions."

"Test our strength?"

Zoro, who was swinging a heavy barbell, and Sanji, who had prepared afternoon tea and served it, raised their eyebrows.

Chopper, the group's favorite ship doctor, blinked.

Usopp put down the barbecue in his hand.

Just now, he stayed on the Golden Merry and observed the town through a telescope. He happened to see something wrong in the town. It seemed that Zoro and Sanji had a conflict with others. He was worried that his partners would suffer, so he informed Luffy, Nami, Robin, and Chopper on the other side of the news as quickly as possible.

Every time they arrived at a town, he was usually the one who actively stayed behind to watch the boat. Zoro would occasionally stay on the boat to catch up on the sun or do crazy exercises repeatedly. The rest of the people were responsible for going ashore to purchase supplies or going out to relax.

But I didn't expect that this conflict and misunderstanding with "not a bad result" would happen this time.

"How strong are our partners? Very strong, right?"

Nami was still very confident in two of the three main forces of her team.

Li Xia nodded:

"Zoro and Sanji are indeed a little strong."

He gave a very pertinent evaluation of the two.

"Just... a little strong?"

Nami's face suddenly changed.

At this moment, even Robin, who was flipping through a book on the side, cast a surprised look.

Everyone experienced the journey of Sky Island together, fought with Enel and the four great priests under his command, and more or less understood these companions around them. Although Zoro and Sanji certainly can't compare with the big pirates in the New World, they are definitely not weak.

But the two of them are just a little strong as the boy in front of them said?

The key is that neither Zoro nor Sanji refuted it immediately!

This is very wrong!

"They do have some strength, but not much."

Li Xia said while drinking a sip of fragrant tea.

Although Zoro and Sanji looked a little bad, in the end, it was Sanji who put out the cigarette butt in his mouth and said: "We lost, Xia Jun and Jun Dashu are really strong."

"How is it possible? You..."

Nami and Usopp were both unbelievable.

"What does it matter if you lose a battle? It's not like you lost your life. Of course, if you continue to move forward with your current strength level, and even arrogantly want to break into the new world in the second half of the Grand Line. Then we can only wish you good luck in advance."

Li Xia smiled.

"New World?"

"It means the second half of the Grand Line. It is a place where all kinds of pirates gather, and it is a mess. It is much more dangerous than the first half of the Grand Line where you and I are now. After all, the first half of the Grand Line is the 'paradise'. Needless to say, what does paradise mean? But the second half of the Grand Line is called the 'New World'!

Why is one called paradise and the other called the New World? I think Miss Robin knows something or two."

"Mr. Xia, are you saying that our strength is not enough to enter the New World?"

Luffy asked directly.

"Yes. Your strength is still far behind."

Li Xia nodded.

"Luffy's bounty is over 100 million. Isn't he even qualified to take us in?"

Usopp couldn't understand it.

Those with high bounties are only a few billion. In other words, dozens of Luffys are almost the same as each other.

The difference between dozens of Luffys and one Luffy is only a few dozen times.

Not much.

Li Xia seemed to understand the thoughts of the great god Usopp, and put down the teacup with a smile:

"As far as I know, there are usually no less than three or five newcomers like Luffy with bounties of over 100 million every year. They all enter the New World with various purposes and ambitions. But very few can actually survive."

"Ah?"

Everyone was surprised.

"The New World is so small, and the pie is limited. For the sake of profit, there will inevitably be various reasons for the pirates to fight. If newcomers like you want to develop in the New World, they will definitely conflict with the old generation. And newcomers often develop a sense of arrogance and contempt because their bounties in the Navy system are similar to those of the old generation of pirates. Once you go to the New World with such a mentality, the result...tsk tsk..."

Luckily, Luffy in the original work woke up in time.

Otherwise, the experience of the Kidd and Killer brothers and Gekko Moriah is likely to be repeated in Luffy.

"What Xia Jun means is that the Navy is using bounties to kill new pirates?"

Sanji frowned and asked.

"Obviously, the strength is not strong, but the bounty is quite high! Is this the Navy and the World Government killing people with borrowed knives? You should have a judgment."

Li Xia did not give a definite answer, but several people present had their own answers.

"Xia Jun, is my 100 million bounty watered?"

Luffy looked at it with a burning gaze.

"In the early years, a bounty of 70 or 80 million meant that the person probably mastered one of the three colors of domineering, or the ability of the devil fruit was very tricky. For example, Hancock, the queen of the Nine Snake Island, the king of the country of women, the leader of the Nine Snake Pirates, and one of the current [Seven Warlords of the Sea].

The bounty is 80 million Baileys.

Her bounty includes both her multiple identities and her devil fruit ability, and because she has mastered the three types of domineering, domineering color, armed color, and observation color at the same time. She is a very powerful woman.

Another example is Crocodile, the natural sand-sand fruit ability user, who challenged He lost a part of his arm in the battle with Whitebeard. He has great fame and not too weak strength, but only has 81 million Baileys. "

Li Xia paused for a moment, and then mentioned a few people:

"Of course, if your identity is very special, such as Miss Robin; or if you are extremely vicious and create chaos and killing everywhere, such as several other supernovas in the contemporary era. Their bounties will also be very high.

But Luffy, have you done anything cruel and harmful?

Why do you have a bounty of 100 million? "

This sentence not only stumped the straw hat boy in front of him, but also the rest of the straw hat pirates. One by one, they fell into thinking.

Everyone is not stupid, and naturally heard the implication.

"The Navy and even the World Government want to praise Luffy to death? Why?"

Sanji frowned and asked.

He felt a little uneasy inexplicably.

"Because of the rubber fruit and some hidden background of Luffy..."

"Ah?"

The straw hat pirates, including Luffy himself, were all confused.

Just because of the Rubber Fruit?

Is there anything special about this devil fruit?

In addition, what background can Luffy have?

Although he has a brother who ate the Flame-Flame Fruit and is extremely powerful, this background should not be a big deal, right?

"The Rubber Fruit is just a part of the 100-year history covered up by the Celestial Dragons, because it also has a name, called [Animal System·Human-Human Fruit·Mythical Beast·Nika Form]! It is a fruit with the name of God!

The Celestial Dragons are very afraid that someone can develop this fruit to the level of [Awakening]!

Because once the fruit awakens, combined with the domineering cultivation that you can show off, you will have the strength to surpass the admiral of the navy, and you will gain unparalleled appeal. That power will pose a huge threat to their absolute rule for 800 years!"

He can understand the mentality of the Five Elders not to deal with Luffy directly.

After all, once they do it themselves, the Rubber Fruit, whose real information they have been hiding, will probably immediately arouse the curiosity of countless people.

By then, the name of the Nika Fruit will probably resound throughout the sea.

Some things can't be hidden.

Therefore, the bounty of the Straw Hats could only be secretly raised.

For example, the Alabasta incident was not Luffy's fault at all, so it must be Luffy's fault. The bounty was directly raised from 30 million to 100 million.

(The Judicial Island incident was the same later, so it was simply raised to 300 million.)

Is it reasonable?

Just look at the bounties of older pirates in their thirties and forties, such as Crocodile and Hancock.

The former has been to the New World, even challenged Whitebeard, and fought with a fierce man named Douglas Barrett, but before becoming a Shichibukai, he only had a bounty of 81 million Baileys.

It can be seen how difficult it was to have a bounty of over 100 million at that time.

It can also be seen how severe the inflation has been in recent years.

Everything is rising, and the bounty has soared all the way, but the salary has not increased.

"Nika Fruit?"

Robin's eyes widened.

She seemed to have seen the name of this fruit in a book, but she couldn't remember it. But once you hear the background, you know it's not simple.

"Behind Luffy's rubber fruit, the World Government is actually involved..."

Sanji and Nami looked at their captain, with some worry in their eyes.

They still have some idea of ​​what a huge monster the World Government is.

"What about Luffy's background?"

Usopp asked curiously.

"His grandfather is the Navy hero Garp, his father is Dragon, the leader of the Revolutionary Army, his guide is Shanks, one of the Four Emperors, his brother Ace is the captain of the second division under Whitebeard, who is also one of the Four Emperors, and his other brother is the staff officer of the Revolutionary Army... Sabo!"

"Puff..."

Usopp sprayed.

"Hiss..."

The rest of the people took a breath of cold air.

No matter Robin and Sanji, who have special identities, or Usopp and Zoro, who are thick-skinned, they all felt a little pain in their teeth at this moment. They all couldn't help but twitch their mouths.

Until just now, they still thought that their idiot captain had no background, or even the one with the least background in the whole group.

Unexpectedly, he hid it so deeply!

The background is so scary!

With this background, why do you still play the sea struggle journey from scratch?

Isn't it better to win directly?

"Luffy, Luffy, your grandfather, your father, your two brothers, and..."

Before Nami finished speaking, Luffy had already rushed to Li Xia without caring about anything, grabbed Li Xia's hands and asked anxiously:

"Sabo, Sabo, is Sabo still alive?"

The big guy's eyes turned red without knowing it.

His eyes were full of tears.

"Yeah, he's still alive!"

"Thank you, thank you, wuwuwu..."

No one else understood why Luffy was crying.

Perhaps only Li Xia understood.

"Isn't it a good thing that he's still alive? You should be happy!"
