Tashigi was taken aback when she saw the table full of gold.
With so much gold, how many famous swords could I buy?
But she quickly put her greedy thoughts aside and returned the gold to Ruff.
Luffy took the gold and pretended to count it.
"wrong!"
At this moment, Luffy also pretended to be sad.
"The numbers are wrong. I remember being robbed of more than just these!"
"Oh? Mr. Luffy, how much were you robbed of?"
Upon hearing this, Luffy also looked sad and said.
"Probably two billion?"
Upon hearing this, Jack, who was tied up, immediately vomited blood.
"You're talking nonsense! You're clearly just pitying our billion dollars worth of gold!"
"Sir, don't believe him! He's definitely trying to steal my half of the gold!"
Tashigi listened to the testimonies of the two men: one a notorious pirate, the other a poor civilian who had been robbed.
It goes without saying who we should trust, right?
Tashigi then glared fiercely at Jack.
"Tell me quickly, where did you hide the other half of the gold?"
"We really didn't take that half of the gold!"
At that moment, Jack suddenly felt wronged.
If he had done it himself, he would have simply accepted it, but the problem is that he really didn't get the other half of the gold.
How can he possibly admit it?
"As expected of a great pirate, they're so stubborn. My half of the gold must have been taken away beforehand."
"That's right, that must be it!"
Tashigi agreed with Luffy's explanation.
"Tell me quickly, where did you hide the other half of the gold?"
"You wretched woman, I already said I didn't take it, I didn't take it, and you still want me to do this?"
At this point, Jack couldn't help but start cursing.
"See, he must have been right, Commander Tashigi, because he's feeling guilty!"
Luffy was also fanning the flames from the side.
"You bastard, don't let me catch you, or I'll kill you!"
Seeing Luffy still fanning the flames, Jack cursed angrily.
However, Luffy simply pointed to Jack, who was tied up and motionless.
"Look, they're getting anxious!"
"You're the one who's getting anxious! Your whole family is getting anxious!"
Jack launched into a tirade against Luffy, which Tashigi found unbearable.
To dare to curse in front of the navy is simply a case of refusing to listen to reason and then having to suffer the consequences!
"Take him back and interrogate him thoroughly!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing Tashigi's words, the surrounding Marines sent Jack and his pirate crew to prison.
"Thank you so much, Luffy. Thanks to you, we were able to successfully capture the members and leader of the Jack Pirates."
After it was over, Tashigi looked at Luffy with a hurried expression and then made a promise to him.
"Don't worry, we'll make those pirates cough up the remaining half of the gold!"
Tashigi made a firm promise to Luffy.
Upon hearing this, Luffy looked at Tashigi with gratitude.
"Thank you so much, Commander Tashigi! Your Marines are truly wonderful people. With your Marines in Loguetown, I feel so reassured!"
"Not at all, Mr. Luffy, you flatter me!"
Tashigi, who had been so assertive and strong-willed just moments before, now seemed rather embarrassed.
After making a promise to Luffy, Tashigi led the pirates away to return and report.
"This is really fun!"
Luffy finally laughed as he watched the departing marines and pirates.
It was truly worth the time he spent acting.
After having his fun, Luffy got hungry and went back into the tavern.
At this moment, the tavern owner was also trembling under the table because of the commotion.
Seeing the boss's expression, Luffy smiled and said.
"Boss, where's my order? Why hasn't it arrived yet?"
The owner was shocked to see that Luffy was still in the mood to eat.
However, he still delivered the things Luffy had ordered earlier.
After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, Luffy prepared to leave.
After tossing a gold coin to the shopkeeper, Luffy prepared to leave.
"By the way, boss, those pirates probably didn't pay us when they left, right?"
The shopkeeper, who was initially delighted to receive a gold coin from Luffy, was stunned upon hearing Luffy's words.
Yeah, those pirates ate so much of my stuff and drank all the liquor in their shop.
Among them are some of his treasured wines.
Thinking of this, the boss no longer found the gold coin in his hand appealing, and he couldn't help but kneel on the ground and weep bitterly.
"My wine, my money!"
After today, the tavern will officially declare bankruptcy and close down.
Of course, none of this concerns Luffy.
At this moment, Ruf was walking on the streets of Rogge.
"That's enough. We've eaten our fill and had our fun. It's time to set off for the Grand Line!"
Volume 1: Chapter 284 Golden Galaxy Baseball Man
Just as Luffy was about to bravely venture into the Grand Line, everything suddenly went black.
When Luffy came to his senses, he found himself back in the Black Tower's office.
"Why are you back?"
Luffy's tone clearly showed some displeasure; he hadn't had enough fun yet!
"After all, this is just a beta version. If you want to continue playing, you'll have to wait until next time!"
Black Tower's gaze was fixed on a screen, his eyes filled with excitement.
Just now, during the star test, the star lived up to expectations and attracted the attention of several star gods.
Of course, it wasn't just Xing's side; they also obtained a lot of information from Luffy's side.
This is a rare experimental material for the Black Tower.
"Alright, you can leave now. Don't bother us for the time being!"
Black Tower waved his hand, signaling the group to leave quickly and not disturb her.
"What about my reward?"
At this moment, Xing was also preoccupied with his reward.
She's not working for free!
"Go find Estella for the reward, okay? Can you please stop bothering me?"
As he spoke, Black Tower controlled a puppet and invited Luffy, Star, and Little Black Tower out of the room.
Looking at the closed door of the Black Tower office, the three of them couldn't help but exchange a glance.
Where should we go now?
Xing scratched his head, clearly having no plans for what was to come.
I originally thought she would be testing at the Black Tower until night.
"Aren't you going to ask Está for your payment?"
"Estella has been busy with the Antimatter Legion these past few days, so I felt a little embarrassed to go to her!"
Xing said with a hint of helplessness.
"I never expected that you, a Star Core Spirit, would actually have a conscience!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy glanced at Xing with considerable surprise.
"What are you saying? What kind of talk is that!"
Xing put on an angry expression, looking at Luffy with some dissatisfaction.
"Forget it, I'll pay the compensation for Black Tower!"
"Is it true?"
Upon hearing this, Xing's attitude underwent a complete 180-degree reversal.
"Of course, give me your bat!"
"What are you doing? Black Tower said he already gave me this bat!"
When Hoshi saw Luffy asking for his baseball bat, he instinctively protected it.
This is proof of her status as the Galaxy Baseball Man.
"Look at you, do you think I'd be the kind of person who'd covet a baseball bat from you?"
Hearing this, Xing also felt that there was some truth to it, so he reluctantly took out his baseball bat.
Taking Xing's bat, Luffy swung it twice, and surprisingly, it felt quite natural!
After memorizing the shape of the baseball bat, Luffy used the power of the Gold-Gold Fruit to create a one-to-one replica of a pure gold baseball bat.
"Here you go!"
Luffy generously tossed Star's baseball bat and the copied golden bat to Star.
"This gold baseball bat should be enough to pay your fee, right?"
"Enough is enough!"
Upon hearing this, Xing nodded quickly.
Looking at the gleaming golden baseball bat in his hand, Xing was clearly quite fond of it.
"Let me tell you, things made of gold aren't durable. Don't use this gold baseball bat to hit people!"
Luffy also offered a reminder.
If Xing were to use the golden baseball bat to hit someone one day, and the bat broke, she would have nowhere to cry!
"understood!"
Xing nodded vigorously.
