25: Chapter 25 Killing Monca and His SonWhile Nami was sneaking into the Marine base to steal the map amidst the chaos, Morgan had already led his soldiers to the plaza.His eyes bloodshot, Morgan glared at Luffy and his companions, shouting, "How dare you defy my authority!" "What, are you planning a rebellion?"
Looking at Morgan before him, Luffy couldn't help but feel sorry for him.When he was a Marine recruit, he was a passionate and righteous young man.Unfortunately, after being hypnotized by Django, he gradually became blinded by power, thinking only about how to display his authority and never doing anything for the townspeople.His son, on the other hand, abused his father's power and caused trouble in the town all day long.Thinking of this, Luffy glanced at Helmeppo with disgust.According to the original plot, this guy would become friends with Coby, who joined the Marines, and become his grandfather's apprentice.But now, Luffy glanced at Coby behind him and shook his head.In that case, Helmeppo had no need to exist.
Thinking this, Luffy looked at Morgan and said, "So what?How can anyone obey a scumbag like you in the Navy?" With that, Luffy leaped high into the air and unleashed a Gum-Gum Spiral Bomb at the statue.The statue shattered instantly.Seeing this, Morgan flew into a rage."You dare destroy the symbol of my power!I'll kill you and your accomplices!" Ignoring how Luffy had done it, Morgan immediately ordered his soldiers to fire."Ding!Side quest activated.Kill the scumbag in the Navy and his son.Successfully obtained 5000 Pirate Coins and 2 Beginner Haki Seeds."
Seeing this, Luffy smiled slightly, remaining calm despite the incoming bullets.He retrieved the "Stunning Phoenix" from his system space and said to Coby, "Take care of Zoro.I'll deal with the enemies in front of me first." With that, Luffy adjusted his breathing and unleashed a Water Breathing technique, "Flowing Dance," charging straight towards the enemy.Before the soldiers could react, Luffy had already appeared behind them.A group of Marine soldiers rolled their eyes back and collapsed to the ground, unconscious.Luffy didn't kill them; he knew they had been forced into this situation all these years.
Zoro, standing behind him, stared wide-eyed.He had only seen a water-like attack weave through the crowd, and even after everyone had lost consciousness, he hadn't seen Luffy's actions clearly.At this moment, Coby said, "Mr.Luffy is very strong, isn't he?I was also shocked when I first saw Mr.Luffy make a move, but now I realize that Mr.Luffy didn't even use his full strength back then."
At this moment, Luffy stood in front of Morgan and his son and said, "You have the nerve to put up a statue to represent your power?You're nothing but a pathetic person who's been played for a fool by pirates."
Hearing this, Morgan's pupils contracted slightly, but he quickly recovered.Luffy noticed this subtle change and secretly wondered: "Could my guess be true?Morgan has already recovered from the hypnotic state, but he hasn't reported it to protect his own power?"
At this moment, Morgan was also blinded by rage.He raised his left-hand iron axe, with only one thought in mind: to kill the Straw Hat boy in front of him and prevent him from revealing the secret.Just as the iron axe was about to fall on Luffy's head, Luffy raised his sword, "Flame Breathing, Second Form: Rising Flame!" A slash that swept upwards like a raging fire swept past Morgan.Morgan's iron axe stopped in mid-air, and a line of blood appeared in the center of his body.Morgan's tall body slowly fell backwards, while Helmeppo was so frightened that he lost control of his bladder and sat down on the ground.
Luffy glanced at him disdainfully, then slashed him with his sword.Helmeppo didn't even have time to scream before he was beheaded and turned into a corpse.
Coby covered his mouth in horror, his face filled with disbelief.The usually gentle Luffy had actually killed someone, while Zoro seemed indifferent.At that moment, Luffy walked over and looked at the terrified Coby, saying, "Killing was necessary.If you hadn't killed him, he would have come to kill you." After saying that, Luffy helped Zoro up and prepared to go to Rika's restaurant for a good meal.Coby seemed to have come to a realization, his eyes gradually hardening, and he caught up with Luffy.
As Luffy walked, a familiar voice came from behind him, "You bastard, stop right there!" Luffy turned around and couldn't help but laugh.
