Chapter 615

Chen Fan walked up to Crocas, patted Crocas on the shoulder, and said, "Let me try to see if I can help it." The others were curious about what Chen Fan was going to do.

Chen Fan walked up to Laboon and shouted, "Laboon! You big bastard!"

The sound echoed nearby. No one expected Chen Fan's first words to be a cursing of Laboon. What was Chen Fan going to do? Laboon stopped shouting and looked at Chen Fan.

"You bastard, do you even know what you've done? A bunch of pirates didn't come back to play with you, and you're already whining and throwing a tantrum. They think you're annoying, you know that?!"

"Boohoo!!" Laboon yelled at Chen Fan, seemingly Chen Fan.

Nami and the others covered their ears with their hands; Laboon's voice was just too loud.

"Look at these people's reactions, and you'll know how annoying you are! You've been chattering away for fifty years, yelling at people for fifty years, and there's one person who's listened for fifty years!! And never left you!! You bastard!!"

As Chen Fan spoke, he jumped and landed on Laboon's head, throwing a punch downwards. "...!" The sound of Chen Fan activating his superpower rang out;

"Boom..."

Laboon's massive body sank more than halfway down, his entire head submerged in seawater. Chen Fan deliberately controlled the power of his superpowers, dispersing the energy to avoid causing Laboon too much damage. Laboon's sudden descent caused the surrounding seawater to surge onto the shore. The seawater crashed against the coast and flew into the sky, turning into raindrops that fell onto everyone. However, no one spoke; they all stared wide-eyed and gaping in astonishment. Although Chen Fan had already surprised many people, every time Chen Fan made a big move, it still left everyone feeling incredibly astonished.

Laboon's power was immense, yet Chen Fan punched it into the sea. That power was inhuman; even monsters couldn't compare. Was this really just a pirate with a bounty of 100 million? If someone with that kind of strength only had a bounty of 100 million, that was far too cheap.

Seemingly having just acted rashly and been submerged in the icy seawater, he calmed down and stopped Laboon, slowly rising to the surface.

"One is a pirate you barely knew, and the other is an old man who raised you for fifty years. Do you know how much trouble you've caused him? Fifty years of trials and tribulations, and now he's an old man. A group of friends have left you, and you just throw a tantrum. Fifty years have passed; you're not a kid anymore, you bastard! I've never seen anyone this big before. If you want to act young, at least watch your back! You big oaf!"

"There's nothing we can do about leaving and not returning. That's just how the Grand Line is. Countless lives are lost here at any moment, including your friends. The best way to see your friends again is to make more friends. The first thing everyone who enters the Grand Line should do is make them your friends. There will always be one who comes back to visit you and chat with you!"

"So stop hurting yourself, make more friends, and preferably get a girlfriend. When your other human friends return from the Grand Line, they'll still be single, but you'll have a big family. They'll be so envious! Tell all your friends you're doing great, don't let them worry, and that you're happier than any of them!"

When Chen Fan finished speaking, everyone felt their eyes well up with tears.

"Waaaaah...! I'm so touched!"

"I wasn't saying this to you guys, you idiots, why are you getting all emotional like this!" Chen Fan shouted at the group.

Huge droplets of water appeared in Laboon's eyes—those were whale tears. Suddenly, Laboon raised its head and roared to the sky. Chen Fan jumped off Laboon's head, landing near everyone, and turned to look at Laboon.

"Boohoo...!" Although Laboon was roaring this time, and the tone was not much different from usual, everyone could feel what Laboon was saying. He was saying goodbye to his former friends, telling them that he was living well and not to worry, because this time his gaze was not towards Mount Levius, but towards the high sky as he shouted;

Tashigi looked at Chen Fan and saw the smile on Chen Fan lips. She suddenly felt that this man was really charming, both powerful and kind-hearted. Why did he become a pirate? Chen Fan felt that someone was watching him and turned his gaze. Tashigi met Chen Fan's gaze and quickly turned her head to the side, her face blushing.

Chen Fan couldn't help but smile slightly. Through his glasses, he could read what any person or other being was thinking. Tashigi was a kind-hearted girl, and Chen Fan liked her very much.

"What... what are you looking at!" Tashigi said to Chen Fan unwillingly;

"I was just wondering if you were hungry...?"

"Gurgle..." Chen Fan's words only made Tashigi's stomach rumble, and her face turned even redder.

"Hahaha...! To thank you all, I'll cook a meal to repay you!" Crocas said with a laugh, then went to the kitchen to busy himself. Laboon had finally let go of his worries, and he was the happiest of all.

Chen Fan then took the indelible paint and began painting on Laboon's head. A Fairy Tail guild symbol appeared, and next to Laboon, Chen Fan wrote in large characters, "Come be my friend (Greetings, Money King)! Only 100,000 Beli required, or die here!! Kill!!"

Upon seeing Chen Fan's name, everyone's expressions turned awkward; this bastard had taken all their gratitude back.

"It's a promise! Don't smash all of these before I get back. I'll make sure everyone in the world who sees this sign will immediately want to be your friend."

"This isn't a friend! This is intimidation!!" others cried out internally.
