Chapter 105 Forced to Board the Ship!
Chapter 105 Forced to Board the Ship!
Picking up where we left off, after defeating Morgan and filling their stomachs at a restaurant, Zoro finally asked, "So, Luffy, tell me where our pirate ship is?"
Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately pointed to the small boat outside and proudly declared, "Where is it!"
Zoro looked in the direction Luffy was pointing and saw a small sailboat docked at the pier. He was momentarily speechless, then continued to ask, "So, how many crewmates have you found?"
Luffy held up one finger and said seriously, "You're the first one!"
Zoro burst into speechless laughter upon hearing this, but it was too late to regret it. However, Zoro quickly realized what was happening and questioned, "Wait a minute, who is that child? Wasn't he with you?"
Upon hearing this, Goten immediately retorted, "What are you talking about? I don't want to be a pirate! But if there's a powerful guy, whether he's a Marine or a pirate, I'm interested in fighting him."
Upon hearing this, Zoro immediately looked at Goten with amusement and teased, "Although you can catch bullets with your bare hands, you're obviously still too young. Go back and train properly before you try again."
Luffy chimed in, "That's right, that's right! Although you come from an adventurer's family, the sea is still too early for you. Go home and train hard, and maybe you'll meet us on the Grand Line someday!"
Upon seeing this, Goten immediately rebuked the two: "If you're looking down on me, that's really not good. I originally just wanted to pretend to be an ordinary person, but if I'm being discriminated against like this, there's no point in me staying quiet any longer..."
Goten pointed outside and continued, "To prove myself, Luffy! Fight me!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy immediately covered his eyes with his hat and questioned Goten in a serious tone: "You're not joking... right? Challenging pirates means you have to be prepared for the consequences!"
Wutian replied firmly, "Of course. Actually, you haven't shown your strength since we met, have you? This is a perfect opportunity..."
As they spoke, Goten and Luffy arrived at the dock together. The two stood facing each other, and Goten kicked out with lightning speed, hitting Luffy directly on the head. The next second, Luffy's head was kicked several meters away. However, Goten was surprised to find that Luffy's head and neck had miraculously stretched out...
While Goten was still in surprise, Luffy shouted, "Gum-Gum Bell!" and his head quickly retracted, using the powerful recoil to slam into Goten's head, knocking Goten back several meters.
Then Luffy introduced himself: "Sorry, I'm a rubber man who ate the Gum-Gum Fruit. Now you understand my power, right..."
Seeing this, Goten replied in kind, "You're not the only one with secrets! I'm not actually from an adventurer family either. To be honest, I'm a Saiyan! And also an Earthling. You'd better watch out, this is my... true—power!" With that, Goten transformed into a Super Saiyan on the spot...
Seeing Goten transform, Luffy's eyes lit up instantly, and he shouted excitedly, "Wow! You can actually transform! That's awesome! Very good, I've decided, I'm going to make you my partner!"
Upon hearing this, Goten immediately retorted, "Idiot, who wants to be a pirate! Mom doesn't want me to be a bad guy, so give up your ridiculous idea, I have my own..."
Goten was still speaking when Luffy suddenly shouted, "Gum-Gum Pistol!" before interrupting him. Before he could react, Luffy's fist was already at him, striking Goten squarely in the face. Goten, caught off guard, immediately yelled, "You bastard! I was talking! How could you attack me like that?"
However, Luffy, while picking his nose, quipped, "Kids are just kids. There's no such thing as sneaking up in a fight. A real battle is all about giving it your all..." At this point, Goten decisively leaped forward, delivering a flying kick that sent Luffy flying...
Luffy, who had been kicked away, immediately changed his tune and scolded Goten: "What are you doing? I was talking! You attacked me like that! How despicable!"
Enraged by this, Goten immediately retorted, "Didn't you say there are no sneak attacks in battle?!"
So Goten and Luffy, disregarding all talk of fairness, instantly started fighting like children, engaging in a completely unwatchable brawl...
Seeing the two fooling around, Zoro regretted his hasty decision even more at this moment...
However, having already boarded the pirate ship, Zoro had no choice but to step forward and try to stop the two fooling around. He kindly reminded them, "Hey, you two, that's enough. The Marines are coming soon!"
However, the two who were still bickering heard Zoro's words and instantly retorted in unison, one after the other, "Hey—your crew member is scared now? Hurry up and take him and run for your lives."
(Luffy) "What are you talking about? A man's duel cannot stop until a winner is decided, even if it means death. Zoro is just reminding you not to cry in a little while."
(Goten) "It should be Zoro who's scared. To be honest, his expression when the Marines fired that shot was the real fear."
(Luffy) "Expression...what expression? Tell me..."
(Goten) "Back then... it was like this..."
(Luffy) "Hahaha...Is that so...Zoro, you actually..."
Hearing their taunts, Zoro instantly drew his twin swords and clamped them between Goten and Luffy's necks. Feeling the chill of the blades, the two, who had been laughing and joking just a moment ago, fell silent instantly and turned to Zoro, saying, "Sorry, we were too presumptuous..."
And so the battle came to an end. Goten originally didn't want to be with Luffy and Goten, but due to Coby's "report," Goten was forced to become one of the villains who attacked the Marine base...
Goten, unable to resist any longer, gave Coby a good beating, thus definitively confirming his connection to Luffy's crew. The three left the dock, watching the Marines salute them and Coby. Goten, however, had only one thought for Coby: "You son of a bitch..."
Two days had passed since leaving the naval base. On the high seas, Goten was frantically pushing his small boat forward. Why? Well, it was all because that idiot Luffy tried to catch a bird, only to have it snatch his head and fly away. Goten, wanting to take Zoro with him and protect the boat, had no choice but to push it in pursuit...
As they drew closer, a sudden cannonball blast separated Luffy and the giant bird. The bird plunged into the sea, while Luffy fell into a distant town...
