[Chapter Size: 1125 Words.]

Third Person POV

Village Syrup, East Blue.

...

...

"That...?"

As the only thing they managed to comment on in the face of these sudden and unexpected events, Yamato was the quickest to react and equally surprised, just like the entire Straw Hat crew. Their captain, who had only come here to deliver a pirate ship to get some Berris from Buggy's ship, was equally surprised by what followed. A butler who appeared suddenly started to insult them. This was followed by their captain punching the arrogant man without giving him a chance to react.

Luffy stepped into the spot where the butler had been and began to walk towards the wreckage caused by his punch and the man's body. Despite the noise of destruction, everyone was still frozen in place by these sudden actions.

As he walked towards the destroyed area, an arrogant smile began to spread on Luffy's face. In the wreckage, there was Klahadore with torn clothes, broken glasses, disheveled hair, and coughing up blood as he tried to breathe on the ground. He glared at Luffy, filled with hatred, as Luffy approached him.

"What's wrong? Surprised? You already know my history. Did you think I'd reward you for insulting me and my crew?" Luffy asked arrogantly, raising an eyebrow.

"Wait, don't hurt him! Call the guards! Make him stop!" Kaya, coming out of her stunned state, said hurriedly, watching Luffy approach Klahadore with terror.

"Girl, you're too naive. Do you think I'll let this slide after hearing those words?" Luffy taunted her, not revealing the man's true identity, as he wanted to play with him first. Especially after the man thought he could be arrogant with him and his people.

After ignoring her, before Kaya, Klahadore, or almost anyone present could react, except Yamato, Luffy disappeared again.

"Hmm? Ahhh!" Without time to react, Klahadore received a kick from Luffy, sending him flying a few more meters as he screamed in pain.

"What's the matter? Is that all you've got?" Luffy taunted as he appeared by his side again.

With another punch directly to his face, his nose was broken when he hadn't even fallen from the last blow.

Boom!

His body demolished another part of the mansion.

"You wretch, you'll pay for... hmm?!" Klahadore said in the midst of the wreckage while his face was like a bloody pulp. But before he finished his threat, Luffy appeared before him and grabbed his neck before he could react.

"Would you like to see this..." Luffy smiled sadistically and, with his hand on Kuro's neck, began running and dragging his head along the wall, rubbing his face as he destroyed everything in his path with his head.

Everyone watched in horror, even their crew was tense. Shirahoshi and Nami were the most frightened.

"What's wrong? Is that all you've got?" Luffy taunted as he raised a swollen face by the neck. It no longer resembled the butler from moments ago.

"Hmm...Hmm..." That face couldn't even speak anymore; it was the complete opposite of what it was moments ago.

"Hmm? Let me help you fix this." Luffy said, giving two open-handed slaps to that face.

Slap!

Slap!

The sound of the slaps echoed strongly throughout the area, horrifying all the onlookers. Kuro was unconscious by this point; the slaps had been so strong that he collapsed.

"HOW CAN YOU SAY YOU'RE HELPING BY GIVING THOSE SLAPS?!" Everyone thought inwardly.

"What's happening here?" At that moment, guards began to appear in the midst of this commotion, but they quickly became alarmed by all the destruction he had caused while holding Klahadore by the neck in one hand.

"Don't worry; I'm done here," Luffy said as he tossed what was left of Kuro, as if he had spat out a terrible mouthful.

He passed by a frantic Kaya, who ran towards her butler, and went to his still-stunned crew.

"Go away and never come back here! Never!" Luffy could hear Kaya looking at him with hatred, but he paid no attention to it.

"You heard them; let's go!" Luffy said with a small ironic smile, snapping everyone out of their stupor.

"Usopp, you too; I don't think you're welcome here anymore." Luffy said to the long-nosed one, who looked at Kaya after these words. He saw her taking care of Klahadore but occasionally glancing at Luffy and even at him with anger in her eyes.

Swallowing hard, Usopp followed Luffy out of the mansion, feeling a bit guilty for what had happened.

No one said anything during their walk. Instead of passing through the village, they took another path.

As they reached another deserted beach, Luffy stopped walking, causing the others to stop as well.

Luffy stared at the empty sea horizon for a while without saying anything. Nami couldn't stand the silence any longer and broke it with a loud shout.

"WHAT WAS ALL THAT ABOUT? WHY DID YOU ATTACK HIM LIKE THAT? YOU NEARLY KILLED HIM! NO MATTER HOW ARROGANT HE WAS, YOU CAN'T HURT SOMEONE LIKE THAT JUST BECAUSE OF WORDS!" Luffy didn't respond to Nami's shouting, nor did he turn to face his crew while still gazing out to sea.

"That guy!!" Nami snarled, while the rest of the group remained silent.

"I think I'm leaving," Usopp suddenly said in the midst of the new silence. He had followed the group because he hadn't had much choice, but now he had many bitter thoughts, especially since it seemed that his friendship with Kaya had come to an end.

"Wait, Usopp; you shouldn't leave yet," Luffy finally spoke and turned around, revealing a solemn smile.

"Hmm?" Usopp was surprised by this.

"I told you I wanted you on my crew, didn't I?" Luffy said, his smile leaving everyone here stunned again, not understanding their captain's actions.

"Of course, from what I've seen so far, you were a coward back there, but I'm giving you a chance to earn it." Luffy said, continuing.

"In the next few days, you'll train with me and my team. After that, you'll have to defeat a pirate on your own and prove your worth."

"Hmm? What are you talking about? I didn't say I was joining your crew!" Usopp said, a bit angrily.

"Ah, you may not join it, but you'll definitely want to defeat this pirate..." Luffy said, taking a low-cost wanted poster from the shop and opening it in front of all of them.

"THIS?!" Everyone was stunned when they saw Kuro's wanted poster in Luffy's hands.
