Chapter 178: The Straw Hat Pirates’ First Day: My Target…is Your Father…
Straw Hat Pirates Day 1:
A minute later, Luffy, with a bump on his head, sat there obediently, while Nami, with an angry face, began to flip through the newspaper: "Okay! Let me see, who is your mother--"
She was so pissed off at this bastard captain! First he was fooling around at the execution platform, got caught, and nearly got executed. If it weren't for that sudden lightning, who knows what would have happened...
And then, it was at this time that he told them that he often took out the "mother's heart" to scare people, and said that this heart could revive his mother, causing everyone to think that he wanted to revive his mother when he went to sea. Nami, who had lost her adoptive mother, resonated with him and comforted him... But his mother was still alive——!
——Then what did her comforting conversations at night mean?! Was she just too talkative?!
"So that heart of yours is really your mother's?" Usopp couldn't help but ask, because it was so magical. "But didn't you say that it could revive your mother?"
"Yeah." Luffy nodded, looking puzzled, not realizing there was anything wrong with his words or actions. "That can be used to resurrect my mother. I can use it after she dies."
Everyone: "..." They didn't know whether to call him a filial son or an unfilial son.
"So who is your mother?" Nami threw the pile of newspapers she found over there, crossed her arms over her chest, stared down at him condescendingly, and let Luffy find out by himself.
"Ah, that's it." Luffy immediately found Wendy's name and pulled out the newspaper, frowning. "Hmm? Did Wendy form an alliance with someone? Why not with Shanks?"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone looked at him in unison. After a long silence, they began to explode.
"Your mother is Wendy Carter?! The new Five Emperors?!" Nami shouted, holding her face with her hands and almost screaming.
In fact, in the Four Seas, people read newspapers and news, but they don’t read every issue. Most people are not that concerned about the situation in the world as a whole. But anyone who wants to go to sea, whether as a pirate, adventurer or bounty hunter, still knows a thing or two about the Four Emperors.
Especially Wendy, a regular reader of newspapers, who has dominated the list for a long time in recent years. She has made achievements in her own strength, the commotion she has caused, and gossip news. Unlike the old four emperors who would not be reported in newspapers unless there was something big, Wendy was the one who had a separate page to make public announcements on the world screen.
Most of the new generation of seafarers knew her - because they grew up watching news about her, and she had only been the Fifth Emperor for a few years, so they had all seen the bounty at that time.
It can be said that this group of people may not know what the Four Emperors look like, but most of them know this Fifth Emperor.
After all, the bounties for the other four emperors have already existed, and every time Newsbird distributes a revised bounty or a new one, it is impossible to distribute all of them in every issue, otherwise it would be impossible to distribute all the bounties around the world.
"Wait! Isn't your father Hawkeye?! No, is that right? Or is it Red-Haired Shanks?" Usopp was also confused.
I also found out this from the newspaper - originally these children who were so far away from the New World would not know about it, but Wendy couldn't help but invite everyone to chat about it through the newspaper!
Plus, gossip is the most widespread. People might not care about the names of bigwigs far from their hometowns, but they will definitely watch the excitement of a love triangle between bigwigs.
"Hmm? Shanks isn't one of them, although I really hope he and Wendy are together." Luffy scratched his head, "Mihawk is also my father..."
"But I also have a father who is a dragon." Before he could finish his sentence, he was interrupted by Zoro.
"Luffy..." Zoro looked at his captain with a serious look and said solemnly, "My target... is your father!"
After these words were spoken, everyone, including Luffy, fell silent for a moment, and all looked at him with expressions full of disbelief.
"Huh? Really?!" Luffy was shocked. "Why? Do you want to marry Wendy too?"
Zoro, who was originally serious, suddenly lost his composure and said, "How is this possible?!"
"What—you shameless bastard with green algae hair! That's Wendy Carter, the only rose of the sea in the New World!" Sanji said harshly, gritting his teeth.
Zoro was speechless: "What are you making fun of again! And what is this Rose of the Sea?!"
Where did this title come from?! What's the "only" thing?! Did this guy rank himself?!
"Indeed, Wendy Carter is beautiful." Usopp said solemnly, raised his hand to touch his chin, and looked at the bounty order that Sanji took out and showed it - there was a photo of Wendy on it, and it happened to be the occasion where she was wearing a rose suit and had roses on her hair.
"Where did you get the bounty order from again?!" Zoro couldn't help but complain, and finally calmed down a little. He put on a serious expression and looked at Luffy, "Hawkeye is currently the world's number one swordsman. I want to become the world's number one swordsman, so naturally I have to make defeating him my goal! It's better to say that I set out to the Grand Line just to challenge him!"
He didn't realize there was any ambiguity in his words.
"Ah...I see." Luffy nodded, frowned, and said in a very normal tone, "But Zoro, there is no way you can defeat Mihawk right now."
Zoro was stunned and fell silent.
No one else was talking for a moment. Nami was still whispering, "Hey, Luffy, aren't you saying too much?"
"Hmm... If Zoro wants to defeat Mihawk, he should know this." Luffy replied, "When I was a kid, Wendy would take me to do farm work every year. Back then, my brothers and I would often challenge Mihawk together. He was very strong. Ace Sabo and I couldn't even touch him together."
Nami was shocked and couldn't help but grab his cheeks and pull hard, yelling: "You have two brothers?!"
At this time, Usopp spoke up for Luffy: "Hey, calm down, Nami. You read the newspaper too, right? You should know that the Five Emperors have other sons..."
Zoro ignored the others and stared at Luffy with a serious expression: "Of course I know I can't defeat him now... But if I meet him, I will challenge him! I'm just telling you in advance."
After all, it was just a simple challenge target before, but now the challenge target has become the captain's father, so we still have to notify the captain.
"Is that so... Then come with me to meet them!" Luffy smiled, showing his neat teeth, and said with a grin, "Anyway, if I want to become the Pirate King, I have to defeat Wendy."
Nami and Usopp were silent and looked at him in unison - you are such a filial son.
Sanji was carefully putting away his treasured posters, which made everyone else speechless.
"You two stop dreaming. We have just headed to the Grand Line and we are still a long way from where Luffy's mother is." Nami rolled her eyes at the group of people and went to adjust the route.
Usopp was still talking to him over there: "By the way, Luffy, why do you call your mother's name directly?"
Luffy looked over and tilted his head in thought for a moment: "Hmm... I'm used to it. Ace and I have been calling her that since we were young. As for Sabo, he always calls her mom."
That proves that both you and your brother Ace are impolite! — Usopp was speechless.
"But I didn't expect... Luffy, you are actually the son of the Five Emperors..." Usopp was a little shocked and still couldn't recover.
However, everyone on this ship gathered together not because of Luffy's identity, but because Luffy saved or moved them, making them voluntarily follow Luffy and become his companions to sail together.
Therefore, after learning this big news, everyone's attitude did not change much. Except for Luffy being beaten up by Nami, nothing happened.
Sanji, who had happily put away Wendy's bounty notice, suddenly felt something was wrong. After not seeing Wendy's bounty notice, his IQ returned along with his brain, and he finally started working: "Wait a minute, Luffy, so... the mother you mentioned who can make delicious dishes in seconds with just one pot... is Miss Wendy?!"
As the only chef on the ship, Sanji suffered a lot along the way.
Because although Luffy also likes his cooking and praises his cooking, and eats a lot, cleanly and is easy to feed, he also said some things that made people angry...
For example, "Sanji, Sanji, why are you so slow at cooking? My mom can cook in the blink of an eye." "Does cooking require so many tools? My mom only needs one pot." "My mom said that if you put things in the refrigerator, they will stay fresh forever." "Why does it get cold in the refrigerator? The meat in my mom's refrigerator is always hot." "My mom said that you can divide the food into four equal parts and throw them in the pot and wait for the pot to boil before it's done." "This doesn't seem to taste like the meatballs my mom made."
Just one sentence can drive a serious chef crazy, not to mention the continuous attacks from all of them.
However, because he thought Luffy's mother had passed away at the time, Sanji managed to hold back and not complain about the cooking skills of this mother who sounded unreliable.
But now it's Wendy Carter...
Usopp obviously realized this problem and turned around to ask, "Luffy, is your mother's cooking delicious?"
"Yeah, that's right." Luffy smiled widely, "Although Sanji's cooking is delicious, my mom's meatballs are the best in the world!"
Is it really not a filter? No, there's nothing unpalatable in Luffy's mouth, right? —Usopp examined.
When Sanji heard this, his eyes lit up.
"Really..." Sanji clenched his fists, his eyes hardening. "In that case... I want to meet Miss Wendy too... and get her to take a photo with me and sign her autograph!"
Usopp slapped his shoulder fiercely and complained: "That's not right! You should challenge your cooking skills, right?!"

Meanwhile, in Rogue Town——
"I didn't expect that CP0 people would also be dispatched..." Dragon frowned, his expression a little solemn, and then showed some hesitation - but why did they chase Luffy and say that he was Wendy's son?

Today is the day of the Straw Hat Pirates [Sunglasses]
The storyline of the Straw Hat Pirates can be long or short, depending on whether you like it or not. If you like it, I will write more [狗头]
I'm currently working on the last dungeon, and I also have to attend classes and write papers, so I'm not sure if I can update more.
That's what it will be like then. After the main text is finished, I will continue to update the extra chapters every day to repay the nutrient solution. After I've paid it back, if there are any extra chapters left that I want to write, I will slowly update the welfare extra chapters.
I hope to have 900,000 nutrient solution by the time the main text is finished (praying) so that I can go and make a plan for a big triangle [roast dog]
