Chapter 328 Monkey D. Luffy

Swish!

With Yaro's departure, the two newspapers immediately piqued everyone's interest, and they all put down what they were holding and gathered around Mu Chong.

"Hehehe! Since Hill thinks I'll be interested in this, then let's open it and take a look!"

Mu Chong smiled slightly, then opened the two newspapers in his hands one after the other.

Swish!

As the first newspaper was opened, the news published on it came into everyone's view.

"Huh? Isn't this the newspaper from after the captain's battle with Kaido? Didn't we already see it? Why did Hill bring it back?"

Slad looked at the first newspaper Mu Chong had opened with a puzzled expression. Just as he had said, this was the newspaper reporting Mu Chong's victory over Kaido.

"Huh? What's this?"

Just as everyone was wondering, as Mu Chong flipped through the newspaper, a wanted poster slipped out and was grabbed by him.

"A bounty poster? It has the captain's picture on it. Could it be that the captain has a new bounty on his head?"

When Bartolomeo saw the paper, he immediately exclaimed with delight, even trying to snatch it from Mu Chong's hand.

Snapped!

However, Slad, who was closest to Mu Chong, snatched the bounty poster first and then began to read it with great interest.

"Hey! It really is a new bounty! This bounty... wow! Captain! 2.56 billion Berries, your bounty has gone up again!"

When Slad saw the numbers clearly, his face immediately showed surprise, and he looked at Mu Chong and said...

"Hehehe! The Navy really does jump on every bandwagon! They're going to such lengths to increase my bounty; they probably don't have good intentions!"

Mu Chong stared at the bounty figure, a strange light flashing in his eyes. A high bounty would certainly make him famous, but this number would also attract the attention of the monsters in the New World, making his path to the New World even more difficult.

"Hahaha! Who cares! Captain! A bounty of over 2.5 billion! The captain has become a true big shot! That's awesome!"

Bartolomeo excitedly snatched the bounty poster from Slad's hand, gesturing wildly as he talked; to him, the navy and all that was unimportant.

"Yes! Barto is right! With the current bounty, the captain's prestige will be feared by many pirates and forces! However, this is also a good thing, at least not so many fools will come up to provoke us!"

Just as Bartolomeo finished speaking, Caroline, standing in the crowd, paused for a moment before speaking, and her words drew nods of approval from everyone.

"Hahaha! No problem! What must be faced will eventually have to be faced! I actually hope more guys will come to provoke us, so you can all show off your skills!"

In response to everyone's analysis, Mu Chong smiled and slowly opened the second newspaper in his hand.

Swish!

As the newspaper was unfolded, another wanted poster slid out, instantly drawing everyone's attention once again.

"Huh? Another bounty poster? Whose is it this time?"

The moment the wanted poster appeared in the newspaper, Slad caught it and began reading it.

At this moment, Mu Chong was drawn to the news reports in the newspaper in his hand. As he browsed through it, the expression on his face grew increasingly solemn, gradually turning into anger.

boom!

"Damn it! Crocodile, you idiot! Have you turned into a pig?! I already told you the importance of strength, and you still got defeated! How useless are you?! Bastard!"

Just as everyone was trying to read the contents of the newspaper, Mu Chong suddenly slammed the newspaper on the table and began shouting curses. Mu Chong's outburst stunned everyone behind him.

"Hiss! What's wrong with the captain? What did the newspaper say that could make him lose control like this?"

Didak, who was sitting to the side, was startled by Mu Chong's slam on the table and quickly stood up and whispered...

"Hmm? Crocodile? That name sounds familiar!"

Just then, Baku, resting his chin on his hand, searched his mind for information about sand crocodiles.

"Captain! Could it be that Crocodile was really defeated by this brat on the wanted poster? Is that why the wanted poster was issued?"

Seeing Mu Chong's outburst, Slad placed the wanted poster in front of him, his eyes filled with disbelief as he spoke.

"Damn it! You're such a useless piece of trash! Crocodile!"

Mu Chong was quite angry at this moment. He had originally thought that after fighting Crocodile, Crocodile would once again pay attention to improving his own strength, but he didn't expect to still be defeated by Straw Hat Luffy.

"That's right! Slade! This newspaper is reporting that Crocodile was defeated by Straw Hat Luffy, and that Crocodile was even stripped of his Shichibukai position! What an idiot!"

Mu Chong looked down at the wanted poster Slade had handed him. The photo on it made Mu Chong frown deeply. He really couldn't understand how Crocodile had lost to Straw Hat Luffy. Saying it was the protagonist's halo was too far-fetched. I'm the protagonist, okay?

"Huh? Straw Hat Luffy? Is he a rookie pirate?"

Hearing Mu Chong and Slade's conversation, everyone looked at the bounty poster on the table: Monkey D. Luffy, bounty 100 million Berries.

"Huh? Monkey? That's a surname?"

Just then, a thought suddenly struck Slad, and his eyes fell on the name on the bounty poster again. A look of shock visibly appeared on his face.

"Captain! Who is this brat...?"

"Hehehe! That's right! Monkey D. Luffy is the grandson of the Marine hero Monkey D. Garp, and also the son of the Revolutionary Army leader Monkey D. Dragon!"

Despite Slard's shock, Mu Chong's expression remained calm. At this moment, Mu Chong was thinking about Robin's whereabouts. Could it be that she had boarded Luffy's ship as in the original story?

pat!

"hiss……"

"What?!"

Just as Mu Chong finished speaking, something fell down behind him, followed by gasps of surprise. Clearly, everyone was shocked by Straw Hat Luffy's absurd background.

"I'm sorry, everyone! The original plan was for you all to relax and have fun for a couple of days, but due to the current situation, we have no choice but to set sail! With Crocodile's defeat, the safety of one person cannot be guaranteed!"

Ignoring the crowd's shock, Mu Chong stood up and faced them, his expression extremely solemn as he spoke.

"Hehehehe! What are you saying, Captain? You don't need to apologize! I've already had my fill of dueling yesterday! I'm ready to go anytime!"

Upon hearing Mu Chong's words, Slad was the first to stand up and laugh loudly.

"Yes, Captain! I've recovered to my best condition! Just give the order, and we'll set sail immediately!"

Didac, standing nearby, chimed in enthusiastically, patting his broad chest as he spoke.

"Hehehe! Let's set sail, Captain!"

"Hehehehe! I'm going to pack my things!"

"Me too! Me too! Hehehe!"

As laughter rang out, everyone quickly returned to their rooms to pack their belongings, and in just a short while, they had all their bags and packages packed.

"Hahaha! Let's go!"
