Rebirth in One Piece as Deputy Captain

Chapter 244

Sun shone brightly on the sea, Luffy and Lin Tian set foot on the search for Nami again, but they added another partner, Sanji.

“Which side is the Grand Line, is it on this side, or over there…”

The chaotic silhouette made Lin Tian, who was sitting quietly on the ground with his eyes closed, unhappy on his face, said: “It’s so noisy, Luffy, can you pipe down?”

“Sorry, sorry”, Luffy leaped slightly and said happily: “After all, a chef joined us. Then, as long as we pick up Nami back, we can set off for the Grand Line.”

Speaking of Nami, Sanji immediately looked idiotic, “Nami; just thinking of her beautiful appearance makes me feel so happy.

Seeing this, Lin Tian couldn’t help but shook the head secretly. This idiot can survive the Grand Line surging forward with great momentum and become a powerhouse. The plot armor is really strong.

Stepping forward, sitting in his own seat at the bow of the ship, Luffy asked, “Yosaku, how long will it take to arrive to Nami?”

TL note: Yosaku along with Johnny are old friends and former bounty hunting partners of Roronoa Zoro

Unexpectedly, the silent Yosaku suddenly raised his finger in anger and pointed at Luffy, “You are too naive, don’t you understand? We are slowly approaching the place where Arlong is. Sister’s eyes are fixed on Arlong’s bounty gold, and I know it’s not that simple.”

Lin Tian asked Luffy: “Arlong, who’s Arlong?”

“No, I don’t know. Sanji, have you heard of it?”

Sanji shook the head, “I haven’t heard of it. I don’t know who it is. Maybe it’s a pirate.”

When they heard the conversation between the three, Yosaku was taken aback and asked in surprise: “Arlong, haven’t you even heard of Arlong?”

The three of them shook the head at the same time, and the word “No!” came out.

Suddenly, Yosaku stood up, hovered in front of the three of them, and explained: “Arlong is a Fishman who made a lot of trouble on the Grand Line in the past.”

TL note:Arlong the Saw is a sawshark fish-man. He was the captain of the all fish-man crew (excluding Nami), the Arlong Pirates, a former member of the Sun Pirates, and the older half-brother of Madam Shyarly.

“Fishman, I have never heard of it.” Luffy looked curious.

Speaking of Fishman, Sanji spoke “I have heard that the Grand Line has Fishman Island, where there are many beautiful fish women.”

Ignoring Sanji who was trapped in a nymphomaniac, Lin Tian asked, “Yosaku, where did you hear the fake news? In the Grand Line, there’s only two fishmen who have made trouble. None of them are called Arlong. Where did the little character come from, I have never heard of him.”

Huh! Hearing Lin Tian’s words, Yosaku was shocked, and quickly stepped forward and asked curiously: “Boss Lin Tian, listening to you say this, have you been to the Grand Line?”

Before, Yosaku and Zoro went to chase Nami. They didn’t see what happened later, so naturally they didn’t know Lin Tian had been to the Grand Line.

“Yep!” responded in a low voice, replied with his chin on his back: “Yes, there has never been a famous Fishman Arlong in Grand Line. If you want to say that there is a really famous Fishman, there should be two, one is Fisher Tiger, one is Knight of the Sea Jinbe.”

Fisher Tiger!

Yosaku screamed, and attracted the attention of Luffy and Sanji who were discussing the appearance of Fishman.

“Fishman Arlong, a pirate under Fisher Tiger, followed him on the Grand Line, bounty 20 million Berry.”

It seems that he had seen Tiger with his own eyes. He talked vividly and fearfully.

“Oh”, Lin Tian suddenly satori, and then said indifferently: “It turned out to be just a little pirate with only 20 million Baileys. I said I had never heard of it. Back then, it was even on my table ‘have no qualifications’.”

wu wu……, Yosaku immediately burst into tears, “Boss Lin Tian, how much bounty gold will it take to put it on your table.”

“Who is Fisher Tiger, is he famous? Who is Knight of the Sea Jinbe?” Sanji asked curiously. After all, he wanted to enter the Grand Line and because knew nothing about Grand Line.

“A powerful pirate once broke into the place where a group of trash lived, put a lot of slaves, and was killed by an uncle who had nothing to do all day. As for Knight of The Sea Jinbe is also one of his subordinates, Shichibukai, and the strength is not bad too.” Lin Tian explained with his chin resting on it.

Luffy lifting both feet, puzzled and asked: “What’s Shichibukai?”

Turning around, Yosaku explained: “Shichibukai is Grand Line Three Great Influences. Grand Line is called pirate’s graveyard, but because of how many of them, Hawk Eyes is one of Shichibukai. In short, they are pirates recognized by the Government, so they are allowed to exist. For the rest of the pirates, they are the running dogs of the world government.”

Papa, Luffy Patting his feet, he said with great excitement: “Seven such amazing people are really amazing!”

At this time, Lin Tian said, “In fact, what Yosaku said is not entirely correct. Shichibukai and World Government are just a relationship of mutual use. Each pirate joined Shichibukai for their own reasons, and Shichibukai can also deter many pirates and ease the pressure on the World Government. After all, this is just an exchange of power and strength that’s all.”

Seeing that Lin Tian is so familiar with Shichibukai, as if he had experienced lightly, Sanji couldn’t help but ask: “Lin Tian, who the h.e.l.l are you to know so much.”

“Who am I? I was just a Marine in the past, now I’m a pirate.” lifting head, Lin Tian replied meaningfully.

“Marine?”

Yosaku was shocked, always thinking that Boss Lin Tian was a Great pirate that Boss Luffy somehow recruited. But he didn’t expect Lin Tian to be a Marine in the past.

On the side, Luffy responded, “Yes, Lin Tian is a very strong Marine, like Marine Vice Admiral, right?”

“What? Marine Vice Admiral?!”

Two exclamations sounded. Both Sanji and Yosaku were dumbstruck by the news.

……

Looking at the oncoming, fierce sea breeze, Luffy stood at the bow of the ship and couldn’t help but yelled happily. This excitement fits Luffy’s style.

Yosaku stood on the top of the cabin, resisting the fear in his heart, shaking his legs, looking at the slowly emerging building in the distance, and shouted: “Boss Luffy, I see it; Arlong’s Park.”

“Okay, moved towards the realm of Arlong, take Nami back”, Luffy shouted excitedly.

Blowing the oncoming sea breeze, Lin Tian praised comfortably, “We are really lucky, and we found a Sea Cow to pull a boat. It’s much better than rowing slowly. Not bad, Luffy.”

TL note:Sea Cows (Kaigyū) greatly resemble normal, land-based cows, with curved horns, fleshy noses, and “patchy” coloring—though they are still carnivorous, with appropriately sharp teeth. So far, the only known specimen is Momoo of the Arlong Pirates, who stands at a height of 36 meters (118’1″ feet) and a weight of 16 tons (32,000 lbs). Their name may be a pun on real-life dugongs and Sea Cows, which are commonly referred to as “sea cows”.

Hahaha! Luffy turned his head and proudly said: “Such a big Sea Beast pull boat, it’s really cool.”

“Sea Cow.” Sanji turned his head and asked: “Lin Tian, you know this kind of Sea Beast.”

Well, slightly nodded, looking at the Sea Beast on that ship, “This is called a Sea Cow, a special creature of the Grand Line, it should be from those Fishman brought from the Grand Line.”

Hearing this, Sanji stared at the Sea Cow in his eyes. As a sea chef, he has never cooked Grand Line creatures. Who knows how it tastes.

Feeling the boat slowing down, the excited Luffy looked unhappy, and said to the Sea Cow below: “Hey, don’t get tired now, cow.”

Below, Yosaku face full of black lines, squinting at Lin Tian who is leaning on the cabin behind and with both hands crossed near chest.

“Hey, Luffy, how do we get in, do we rush in directly to solve that… solve the Arlong, or find Nami first and then solve Arlong?” Lin Tian asked.

Standing at the bow of the ship, Luffy decided loudly: “Of course we rushed in directly, first to see if Nami is there.”

“Nami, I’m coming, Prince Charming solves the troubled princess. This is a touching story. Nami will definitely be moved by my handsome and heroic appearance.” Sanji’s eyes were red.

The Sea Cow who was kicked by Sanji was a little dizzy. His whole head was confused. It didn’t move towards the main gate and rushed directly towards the side cliff as everyone hoped.

Lin Tian pointed his finger in the right direction and shouted: “Ah, that’s not right. To the left, it’s that house.”

It’s a pity that the confused Sea Cow didn’t listen to Lin Tian’s words at all, and still moved towards the side and b.u.mped into it. Upon seeing it, except for Luffy, who was still excited, the other three complexion greatly changed.

Without much thought, Lin Tian’s figure flashed, and he immediately came to the Sea Cow’s head, kicking hard at the bewildered head.

Mou…!

Lin Tian kicked it accurately. The huge impact caused the Sea Cow to scream and wake up immediately.

But Lin Tian somewhat overestimated this creature. That huge silhouette flew out of the sea covering the sun, the entire coast immediately plunged into the darkness.

A large group of Fishman were discussing the life of the matter but the sky suddenly turned black. When they looked up, they saw a huge black shadow dropping from the sky towards them.

In a short time, all the Fishman’s complexion greatly changed, and their faces were full of horror. They scrambled to move towards the courtyard, and jumped into the pool connected to the sea, trying to avoid this coming impact.

Bang!

That huge body, falling from a high alt.i.tude, under the impact of strength and speed, the formidable power is no less than a meteorite, and moved towards the Arlong sea below.

A terrifying explosion sounded, thick smoke and dust mixed with rubble, moved towards all directions and rushed away. Under its body, the entire courtyard was instantly crushed into ruins, and the ground shook. The ground couldn’t bear the huge impact. It dropped tens of centimeters, one after another tens of meters-long cracks snaked on the ground.

Many pirates who could not evade were directly suppressed by that huge body. Even if Fishman’s physical fitness was much higher than that of humans, they were still crushed into that flesh in an instant.

Lin Tian’s kick was too strong. When the Sea Cows were kicked out, the thick rope broke instantly under that huge pulling force, and the whole boat also flew to the sky.

At the bow of the boat, Luffy stood on the flying boat, looking at the verdant jungle below, shouting “Nami, we’re here to pick you up…!” with excitement.

“Is that Luffy???”
