I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

Luffy turned around and looked at Cocolia with a smile.

"Oh, how are you, Mother?"

Hearing her daughter address her in the same way she used to make her blood pressure spike.

But seeing the lively atmosphere, Cocolia couldn't really lash out.

He could only grit his teeth, glare fiercely at Luffy, and whisper.

"Don't you dare call me Mother!"

"Alright then, mother-in-law?"

Hearing this name filled Cocolia with a sense of despair.

I'm tired, let's just destroy it already!

To prevent herself from beating up Luffy, Cocolia left after making up a random excuse.

She needs to go back to Cripperburg to rest and soothe her wounded heart.

Seeing Cocolia leave, Luffy naturally saw no need to stay any longer, so he walked off the stage amidst the envious gazes of the crowd.

"Congratulations! You're going to marry a rich and beautiful woman right now!"

As soon as he stepped down from the stage, Furibas, who was standing next to him, said sourly.

"Jealous?"

Pshaw, who would be jealous of you!

Upon hearing this, Fulibas blushed and quickly retorted.

Just as Luffy was about to continue teasing Furibas, the system's voice suddenly sounded in his mind.

[Oh no, host! Your house has been burgled!]

Upon hearing this, Rufu was taken aback and asked with some confusion.

"Has the train crashed?"

It's not the train, it's your factory that's been shut down!

"Nani!"

After the train was almost completely modified, the system was relatively empty.

So Luffy simply asked it to help manage his factories.

Anyway, it's just sitting idle.

The key point is that no salary is required!

Since the system management was quite good, it was basically entrusted with all the factory-related matters.

I never expected to receive such big news.

"Could it be that we were caught evading taxes?"

"That's impossible! I do things very cleanly; no one should have noticed!"

The system also denied this possibility, but did not deny that it had colluded with the host to evade taxes.

In short, you'd better go to the Silvermane Iron Guard headquarters right away, or your factory will really be gone!

"I see!"

At this moment, Furibas and Yomi also noticed that Luffy had suddenly stopped moving, so they asked curiously.

"What's wrong, Luffy? Did you hear me talking to you just now?"

At this moment, Luffy, who had regained consciousness, looked at Furibas and Yomi with some apology.

"Sorry, I have something to do here. Why don't you guys start playing?"

"Those!"

Seeing that Luffy was in trouble, Fulibas didn't press the matter further.

Luffy then quickly headed towards the Silvermane Iron Guard headquarters.

……

Bronya, on the other hand, was in a good mood.

The factory was quickly brought under control following the Silvermane Iron Guards' surprise attack.

Bronya also found Seele changing clothes in a dressing room.

The only pity is that, perhaps the mastermind was lucky, they didn't find him after taking control of the factory.

But it doesn't matter. Now that we know it's a factory, it's very easy to find out who owns it.

After taking control of the factory, Bronya returned to the Silvermane Guard headquarters to await further information.

"Lady Bronya, congratulations!"

"Commander Bronya, congratulations!"

"Congratulations, Lady Bronya!"

Walking down the street, for some reason, when I saw my Silver Mane Iron Guards, they all happily congratulated me.

This left Bronya somewhat puzzled.

But since the other party had congratulated her, Bronya couldn't keep a cold face, so she smiled and nodded in response.

He opened his office, where Seele was already waiting.

Upon seeing Bronya return, Seele said with some dissatisfaction.

"Bronya, what are you doing with this?"

He was in the locker room changing into the work clothes he had specially bought when Bronya suddenly barged in.

Without saying a word, they sent someone to bring Seele back, who was in a daze.

"What am I doing? To save you, of course!"

"Save me? What's the point of saving me?"

Seele asked, somewhat puzzled.

I'm not in some kind of hellhole, so what do I need to save?

Just then, the door to his office opened, and Luffy strode in.

"Luffy, how did you get in?"

Bronya seemed somewhat surprised to see Luffy.

This is the headquarters of the Silvermane Iron Guard, and normally, unrelated individuals like Luffy are not allowed to enter.

Where are the Silvermane Iron Guards? What are they doing?

"I don't know, no one stopped me when I came in!"

Luffy just said it casually.

Bronya was taken aback upon hearing this. What was going on with these Silvermane Iron Guards? They'd all have their wages docked later!

However, since Luffy is here, Bronya also plans to tell him about Seele's situation and ask him to give Seele some advice.

"Listen to me, Luffy, someone is trying to harm Seele!"

"?"

Upon hearing this, Xi'er was taken aback.

How come I didn't know that someone was trying to harm me?

Besides, with Seele's strength, who would dare to do anything to her?

Upon hearing this, Luffy couldn't help but remark as well.

"Damn, it's that scumbag! We need to arrest him and torture him severely!"

Bronya said with some regret upon hearing this.

"Unfortunately, when we arrived at that scumbag's factory, we didn't see that pervert!"

"That's such a pity!"

Luffy also sighed and said.

"By the way, speaking of factories, one of my factories was shut down for some reason. Could you help me figure out what happened?"

"Isn't this a coincidence? I just shut down a factory today!"

As soon as they finished speaking, they seemed to realize something and couldn't help but exchange a glance.

Bronya then looked at Seele somewhat awkwardly.

"That Seele, the factory owner you're at, isn't Luffy, is he?"

"Yes, didn't I tell you?"

Upon hearing this, Xi'er asked curiously.

"It's not good at all!"

At this moment, Bronya couldn't help but complain.

"Then why were you being so secretive when I asked you what you were doing before?"

"Oh, Luffy said to keep that a secret!"

Upon hearing this, Bronya also asked in a sarcastic tone.

"What exactly are you going to do there?"

Seele glanced at Luffy, who waved his hand, indicating that Seele could do as she pleased.

Upon hearing this, Xi'er honestly replied.

"It's just being Luffy's secretary and handling some factory matters!"

Upon hearing this, Bronya felt like she was about to vomit blood.

So, does that mean I've made a mistake?

Volume 1: Chapter 143 Bronya, still in the previous version

After some explanation, the three of them understood the gist of the matter.

"So, Seele, you're going to work at Luffy's factory, not... you know?"

Upon hearing this, Seele also spoke to Bronya with a look of shame and indignation.

"I'm not some ignorant child. Do you think I'd be so easily fooled?"

After all, things were much more chaotic in the lower levels than they are now.

If they really didn't understand anything, they would have been taken advantage of long ago.

"I'm so sorry, I misunderstood!"

Bronya apologized to Seele, somewhat embarrassed.

At this moment, Luffy patted Bronya on the shoulder and said with a resentful look.

"I think you should apologize to me!"

After all, his own company was shut down for no reason, and he was the one who should have been hurt.

Moreover, after today's commotion, it's unlikely that the factory will be able to get back up and running again in a short time.

How much will I lose?!

Looking at Luffy, who was filled with resentment, Bronya lowered her head so much that it was almost buried in her chest.

"I'm so sorry, I'll order the lockdown lifted immediately!"

After all, Bronya was indeed in the wrong this time, so she naturally needs to make amends.

"Well, my factory was sealed off for no reason. Shouldn't the Silvermane Iron Guard give me some compensation?"
