Chapter 182 - Chapter 182: Luffy: I don't eat beef!

[Nami: "No way... Red-Haired Luffy can't possibly help Admiral Zephyr blow up the island!!!"]

[Vinsmoke Sanji: "That's right! There are hundreds of thousands of lives on that island. Luffy wouldn't do such a thing!!!"]

[Donquixote Doflamingo: "Heh heh... Didn't you just hear him say it himself? They're already Grand Pirates. They need to be more arrogant!! What's blowing up an island compared to that~~~"]

[Bartolomeo: "In the eyes of pirates, are hundreds of thousands of lives even a big deal?"]

[Franky: "What are you two bastards saying?! What about the hundreds of thousands of lives on Ohara? Are they nothing in your Marine eyes??"]

[Sakazuki: "Those are all criminals who violated the laws of the World Government, dead scum!!!"]

[Kuzan: "Criminals who violated the laws of the World Government... that's a disgusting thing to say!! You World Government and Marines want to annihilate the Four Emperors day and night.

So, in the eyes of the Four Emperors, haven't you also violated the laws of the Four Emperors? So don't complain when you get beaten by the Four Emperors' forces!!!"]

[Enel: "Strong words and twisted logic!!! You mere pirates, how dare you speak of law!!!?"]

[Edward Newgate: "Gurarararara...!!! From now on, the Whitebeard Pirates will change their name! We'll be called the Whitebeard Government! This way, aren't we justified in killing and sanctioning anyone??"]

[Charlotte Linlin: "Mamamama!!! This old woman's country is called the Whole Cake Government! According to this old woman's laws, anyone who dares to get involved with the World Government is a capital offense! Haha!!!"]

[Dracule Mihawk: "Give it up!!! You guys are completely irrational. How can you compare to the World Government!!!"]

[Gol D. Roger: "Forget it!! Old man Shanks! Even a crow knows not to laugh at a pig. Where do you get the nerve to mock pirates for being irrational?"]

[Rocks D. Xebec: "Everyone is a force on the sea. It's not like your World Government is a bigger force! Pirates are a smaller force! In short... everyone is just relying on their fists to talk!!!"]

[Smoker: "These World Government and Marine dog-things, setting one standard for others and another for themselves, it's truly hilarious!!! Hahahahaha...!!!"]

["You help me blow it up..."]

[Listening to Luffy's words, Zephyr paused, then squinted.]

[This kid... seems like he's not joking at all.]

[However, Zephyr certainly wouldn't easily believe Luffy, so he slowly asked: "What do you mean?"]

["Come with me~~~"]

[Luffy tilted his head slightly, and walked towards the small path down the mountain.]

["Teacher...!"]

[Behind Zephyr, Ain shouted nervously~~~]

[Zephyr thought for a moment, then still followed~~~]

["Teacher!!" Ain shouted again.]

["Don't worry, if he wanted to kill me, there would be no need for all this trouble. He could just kill us all directly right here...!!!"]

[Zephyr's mouth curled into a mocking smile. He turned his head to look at Ain and Bins, "You two wait here for now. And keep a close eye on this brat. I want to see what kind of trouble he's trying to stir up!"]

[After speaking, Zephyr walked away, following Luffy's back down the mountain.]

[The two arrived at the resort at the foot of the mountain. Luffy bought two candied apples and handed one to Zephyr.]

[Zephyr pursed his lips: "I don't eat this."]

[Luffy wasn't shy, he ate it himself.]

[Then the two continued to walk forward~~~]

["Hey, kid! If we go any further, we'll be out at sea!" Looking at the surrounding scenery, Zephyr reminded him~~~]

["Alright, then let's stop here..."]

[Luffy casually came to a noodle shop and sat down.]

["Kid!! What exactly do you want me to do?! Hurry up, I'm in a hurry!!" Zephyr's voice carried a hint of impatience~~~]

[At this moment, the excited shop owner ran over, a smile all over his face: "Two esteemed guests, would you like some noodles?"]

["Cook me a bowl of noodles!" Luffy said.]

["Okay!!!" The shop owner, beaming, then looked at Zephyr. "And this esteemed guest...?"]

[Zephyr had been busy on the mountain for half a day and was indeed hungry. He was about to ask the owner for a bowl of noodles, but then he heard Luffy say coldly: "He doesn't eat it!"]

["Uh..." The shop owner's expression instantly became a little awkward. He looked at Luffy, then at Zephyr~~~]

[Luffy looked at the shop owner: "Don't bother with him; he doesn't deserve to eat your noodles~~~"]

["Uh... okay..."]

[Realizing the situation wasn't quite right, the shop owner's forehead broke out in sweat, and he quickly went downstairs~~~]

[At this moment, Luffy stretched out a hand towards Zephyr. "Lend me your gun for a bit~~~"]

["Gun?"]

[Zephyr frowned slightly.]

[However, since he had already agreed with Luffy, he hesitated but still handed his pistol to Luffy.]

[Luffy took the gun, casually placed it on the table: "You guess, will there be green onions in the noodles the owner cooks for me later?"]

["Green onions? What does that have to do with what you want me to do?" Zephyr completely didn't understand what Luffy was trying to do. His head was full of question marks~~~]

["It has a connection!" Luffy said calmly.]

[Since Luffy said so, Zephyr immediately thought, "Okay then! I'll guess he won't put green onions!"]

["Hmm, then I'll guess he didn't put green onions!"]

[Luffy inserted his finger into the pistol's trigger guard, casually twirling it. "If I guess correctly, I'll kill this shop owner~~~"]

[Franky: "Nani?! Hey hey hey... Is that still Luffy?"]

[Roronoa Zoro: "Don't get excited, Franky. Luffy doesn't kill innocent people indiscriminately. He must have a purpose in doing this!"]

[Crocodile: "If there's a purpose, then he can kill indiscriminately?"]

[Nami: "You blockhead, is your head full of manure? Zoro's meaning is clearly that Luffy saying this to Zephyr has a purpose!"]

[Nico Robin: "Ah... Luffy should have said this to Zephyr. He definitely has some idea~~~"]

["What???"]

[Upon hearing this, Zephyr's brows immediately shot up.]

["That's right! Any problem??" Luffy's face was calm, his eyes revealing a sharpness that penetrated Zephyr's eyes.]

[Zephyr's face immediately turned cold. He looked at Luffy.]

[After a while, he chuckled: "Heh heh! Luffy, kid, do whatever you want! It has nothing to do with this old man...!!!"]

[Luffy didn't say anything, just twirled the gun in one hand and ate the candied apple in the other~~~]

[The atmosphere between the two seemed a little strange...]

[After a while, the shop owner came out of the kitchen, followed by a little girl about five or six years old, skipping and hopping~~~]

[Seeing this scene, Zephyr's face instantly tightened. His two hands clasped together, and he involuntarily gestured with his right hand's fingers...]

["Guest, your noodles are here!!!"]

[The shop owner enthusiastically called out, placing the bowl of noodles on the table.]

[Franky: "It has green onions!!! That's great!!!"]

[Bartholomew Kuma: "Amazing, Hawkeye... Did Straw Hat Luffy guess from the start that the shop owner would put green onions?"]

[Scratchmen Apoo: "Ah ah ah... Could it be that he cheated, using Observation Haki to predict it in advance?"]

[Trafalgar Law: "You fool. The noodles weren't even made at that time. If Luffy's Observation Haki could predict it then... would he not be a god?"]

[Buggy: "Phew... At least, this shop owner won't have to die..."]

[Nami: "Luffy is really smart! He must have some way of knowing in advance~~~"]

[As the noodles were put down, Zephyr's eyes immediately shot over~~~]

[When he saw the green onions on top of the noodles, the tension on his old face immediately eased, transforming into a sigh of relief...]

[But just then, Conqueror's Haki instantly burst forth from Luffy's body~~~]

[The entire noodle shop, except for Luffy and Zephyr, was completely knocked out...]

[Luffy reached out and hugged the little girl next to the shop owner, then extended his arm and gently placed her on a sofa.]

["What are you doing!!!" Zephyr frowned.]

[Luffy didn't answer. Instead, he picked up the gun from the table and shot the shop owner!!!]

[Bang!!!]

[The moment the bullet was fired, Zephyr grabbed Luffy's wrist and violently pointed it towards the ceiling...]

[Nami: "Huh????"]

[Crocodile: "Damn it! He actually really shot him!!"]

[Sakazuki: "Did you see it? He pretended for so long, but it still couldn't hide the fact that he has no humanity!!"]

[Fire Fist Ace: "He's truly damned! He already put green onions in the noodles, and he still wants to shoot him? He's not human!!"]

[Roronoa Zoro: "Stop talking nonsense, you useless fools! With Red-Haired Luffy's strength, if he really wanted to kill this shop owner, could Zephyr stop him???"]

[Trafalgar Law: "That's right... He has Observation Haki! If he really meant to shoot, Zephyr wouldn't even be able to react~~~"]

[Usopp: "Right, right! It's very clear! Zephyr's actions are all within Luffy's expectations!!"]

[Buggy: "Prediction? Heh heh...!!! Then what if Zephyr didn't stop him?"]

[Gol D. Roger: "Why are you like an idiot!!! If Zephyr didn't stop him, he wouldn't shoot, would he?! Is that also something to be suspicious of????"]

[Sakazuki: "These are all your guesses!!! Wait till I kill him, then I'll see what else you have to say!!!"]

[Smoker: "Idiot!!!"]

["Bastard! What are you doing!!! He already put green onions in the noodles, you still want to shoot him?!"]

[Zephyr grabbed Luffy's arm. He saw that the shop owner lying on the ground was not shot, and then he slightly relaxed~~~]

[Luffy pointed at the beef in his noodles and said lightly, "I don't eat beef!"]

["Nani????"]

[Looking at the few slices of beef in the bowl, Zephyr was instantly furious!!!]

["You bastard!!! Just because you don't want to eat beef, you want to shoot him?!"]

[Instantly, Zephyr burned with rage and punched Luffy~~~]

[Luffy didn't dodge, and punched back~~~]

[Although his rubber fruit ability was restrained by Sea Stone, Luffy's Conqueror's Haki was genuine.]

[A punch landed on Zephyr's face, directly sending stars sparkling before his eyes~~~]

[It took a good few seconds for the stars to fade before Zephyr finally regained his senses...]

[As soon as he came to, Zephyr immediately looked at the shop owner!!!]

["... Don't worry, he's not dead yet~~~"]

[Luffy pointed at the pistol on the table, grinning mischievously.]

[Seeing this, Zephyr unhesitatingly took the pistol back~~~]

["Right, you hold that gun!!!"]

[Luffy smiled faintly, then said, "Do you remember what I just told you? As long as you do one thing, I won't just not stop you from blowing up the island, but I'll even help you blow it up together!"]

["What thing???"]

[Zephyr looked warily at Luffy, his current impression of Luffy being extremely bad!!!]

["Kill everyone in this shop!"]

[A slight curl of his lips, Luffy pointed at the shop owner lying on the ground. "Start with him!! Then his five or six-year-old daughter, then that old couple over there, and that local repairman..."]

[Luffy pointed at each person in the shop, arranging a killing order for Zephyr~~~]

[Zephyr's gaze followed Luffy's finger...]

[That tender child, those benevolent old people, that honest repairman...]

["You're a devil!!!"]

[In a fit of rage, Zephyr angrily stood up and charged at Luffy!]

[Luffy also mercilessly punched him down to the ground!!!]

[Afterward, Luffy picked up the pistol and placed it in Zephyr's hand...]

[He grabbed Zephyr's hand and aimed at the shop owner!!!]

["Bastard!!! What are you trying to do!"]

[Zephyr was punched by Luffy, knocked out of breath. At this moment, he had no ability to fight back and could only roar helplessly~~~]

["Didn't I say? As long as you pull the trigger and kill everyone in this shop, I'll help you blow up the island!"]

[Luffy said this while inserting Zephyr's finger into the trigger guard...]

[Looking utterly inhumane~~~]

["Since you're unwilling to kill the shop owner, then kill this little girl first!!!"]

[Luffy held Zephyr's hand, and turned the muzzle towards the little girl again...]

["Damn it!!! You devil's spawn! Let go of my hand!!!"]

["What are you doing! She's just a child!!!"]

(Well said) [Watching with wide eyes as Luffy turned the muzzle towards the little girl, Zephyr was anxious, his voice hoarse as he roared loudly.]

[However, Luffy showed no mercy. After aiming the muzzle at the little girl, he also inserted his finger into the trigger guard, resting it on Zephyr's index finger...]

["It's just killing someone. You won't be unable to do it, will you?"]

[Luffy's voice came from behind Zephyr, falling into Zephyr's ear, like a devil's whisper~~~]

[Sabo: "Is Red-Haired Luffy crazy? He actually forces old man Zephyr to do such things!!!"]

[Coby: "Luffy!!! How could you do that!!!"]

[Crocodile: "Where are the people who just spoke up for Red-Haired Luffy? Did you all see it? He's a complete scumbag!!!"]

[Donquixote Doflamingo: "Beast!!!"]

[Buggy: "He actually forces a seventy-year-old man to personally kill a five or six-year-old child. Calling him a devil, even a devil would feel wronged!!!"]

["Beast! You beast!!! Let go of me!!!! If you want to kill, kill yourself! Don't force this old man!!!"]

[Zephyr's face filled with horror~~~]

[Cannot do it?]

[Isn't that nonsense!!!]

[Who the hell can a normal person kill a five or six-year-old girl!!!]

["Oh?? You can't do it?" grins]

[Luffy chuckled. He held Zephyr's head, making him personally look at the little girl. "Since you can't do it, then I'll help you do it!"]

[Saying this, Luffy's finger pressed the trigger~~~]

["Ah!!!—"]

[The moment the gunshot echoed, Zephyr's eyes widened, and tears of despair instantly welled up: "No!!!—"]

[But the next moment...]

[Zephyr's eyes suddenly widened even further!!!]

[He looked at the little girl in front of him, completely unharmed, and somewhat bewildered, turned to look at Luffy~~~]

[Luffy bared a wide smile: "Oops, my bad, I accidentally removed the bullet just now. Let's reload and try again!"]
