One Piece Food System - Chapter 378
c373 Refa’s advice (third update)
Nami was also surprised. She didn’t expect that Robin’s teacher was actually the benefactor she had been looking for for many years but could not find.
Back then, Aaron wreaked havoc in the East China Sea and almost killed her adoptive mother, Bellemere.
If Refa and Enel hadn’t appeared, Bellemere would have been killed by Aaron.
A large part of why Nami went to sea was to find Leifa and repay his kindness back then, but she never thought that her benefactor would be the master of heavenly punishment!
“You must be Luffy…” Refa looked at Luffy and said.
“Ha, I didn’t expect that a big shot like you would have heard my name.” Luffy chuckled.
“Sir, why did you come to [Fishman Island] suddenly?” Robin suddenly asked at this time.
She had a vague feeling that was not good, but she couldn’t explain why.
It can only be said to be an intuition.
Lefa looked at Robin and smiled lightly, “I came here specifically to find you, well, to be precise, I came to see your captain.”
“Looking for me?” Luffy pointed to himself, a little surprised, “Are you looking for me for something?”
“Yes.” Refa admitted directly, “I hope you can disband the ‘Straw Hat Pirates’ yourself.”
“What did you say?!” Luffy thought he had heard wrongly.
Everyone else looked shocked and couldn’t believe what they heard. Even Robin looked in disbelief and asked, “Sir, why is this?”
“Your goal is to become the ‘Pirate King’…” Refa did not answer Robin, but asked calmly.
“Not bad!” Luffy said resolutely.
“I have followed your deeds along the way. Basically, you have taken action against evil people and helped the weak. In this regard, I actually quite admire you.” Refa continued, “But don’t forget , Pirates are also thieves, this group has never been a good character.”
“So what, there are scum in the navy, right? Compared to pirates, the ‘Celestial Dragons’ who rule the world are the worst people!” Luffy was unconvinced, “In my eyes, pirates are a symbol of freedom. , is a synonym for not being bound by rules, it does not mean evil!”
“I don’t deny that there are scum in the navy, and I don’t deny that there are good people among pirates. Even among my friends, there are actually many pirates…” Refa smiled lightly, “Indeed, under the definition of the world government, The scope of pirates is too broad. According to my understanding, it is more appropriate for people like you to be called adventurers rather than pirates. ”
“It is precisely because the group of pirates includes many people like you who did not become pirates for the purpose of burning, killing and looting, that the era of great pirates will come.”
“But tell me, along the way, how many pirates have you seen like you, and how many of them regard the law as nothing and bully the weak?” Lei Fa’s voice suddenly rose.
“This-” Luffy was speechless for a moment.
“Can’t you answer? Then let me tell you.” Lefa sneered, “If there are a hundred pirate groups, at least ninety-nine of them will be lawless and plunder. Weak people, there are not even 1% who can really keep the bottom line like you!”
“For such a group of people who are mostly trash, what if you can become the king among them? Is this the result you want?” Refa looked at Luffy and asked.
Luffy was silent for a moment.
After a moment, he said more firmly, “I can’t refute what you said, but becoming the ‘Pirate King’ is my dream, and I won’t give up easily!”
“And if I could become the ‘Pirate King’, I would definitely change this situation!”
“So, how long will it be?” Refa shook his head and smiled, “Three years? Five years? Or ten years?… I believe in your character, and I also believe that if you have the ability, you will take the initiative to change this situation. A little, but before that day comes, how many innocent people will die at the hands of these groups who are 99% rubbish?”
“enough!”
Luffy gasped for breath when Lefa said it and glared at him, “So what if what you said is right. I really don’t have the ability to change this now, but what’s the use even if I don’t stop being a pirate? Isn’t this Will a pirate stop being a pirate with me just because I gave up being a pirate?”
“This is naturally impossible.” Refa said calmly, “But you seem to have misunderstood. I am here to advise you to disband the pirate group, not because you can change the status quo by giving up being a pirate, but because I don’t want to accidentally hurt you. These are just one of the few pirates with a bottom line… In the next few years, I will lead the Heavenly Punishment to wipe out the pirates with all my strength, and completely end this era of great pirates!”
“All pirates have only two choices, either surrender or be killed!”
“If you choose not to disband the Straw Hat Pirates, then the next time we meet, we will be enemies, understand?” Refa looked at Luffy calmly.
“Sir…” Robin looked complicated.
“Robin, don’t speak.” Refa interrupted Robin directly.
Robin swallowed the words as they reached his throat.
“I refuse!” Luffy just thought for a moment and then firmly refused, “Becoming the ‘Pirate King’ has always been my dream. No matter how many reasons there are, I will never give up!”
“Is that so… I understand.” Lefa nodded and was not angry, “I respect your choice, but what I said before was not just to scare you. From today on, all pirates will be punished by heaven. Enemies, including you, are no exception… If you are killed, don’t blame me for not giving you a chance. This is the path you chose. ”
Seeing them looking like they were facing a formidable enemy, Refa shook his head and said, “Don’t be nervous. I’m here mainly to give you a final chance. I won’t do anything.”
With that said, Lefa looked at Robin again, “Robin, you also need to make a choice, whether to return to Heaven’s Punishment or continue to go with them. If you choose the former, just follow me now, but if you choose If it’s the latter, you and I will be enemies rather than friends from now on, so you can decide for yourself.”
Robin looked pale!
This was the situation she least wanted to face and what she had always been afraid of happening.
If she had just joined the Straw Hat Pirates, she would have left with Raifa without hesitation, but after being with Luffy and the others day and night for so long, she couldn’t do it…
“It seems that you have made a choice.” Refa took a deep look at Robin, “Then I wish you good luck, because in the next period of time, all pirates will face a full blow from heaven’s punishment. No one can be an exception!”
After saying that, Lei Fa turned around and took a step, and the whole person disappeared directly on the spot.
“Ah!” Nami was shocked by this scene.
Because she didn’t see how Leifa left at all, it was like teleporting.
