The Beginning of a Legend

Before that, Ahua Trio went their separate ways to buy the supplies that had already been allocated.

Creak--!

In the dimly lit alley, the door of a tavern called "Gol D. Roger" was suddenly pushed open gently from the outside in.

The piercing screeching sound from the old wooden door brought a moment of silence to the noisy tavern before it returned to normal.

Kuta, hands in his pockets, ignored the commotion from the Pirates on both sides and headed straight for the bar.

He chuckled as he looked at the unusually aged old man behind the bar, wearing a round gold earring and small sunglasses.

"Boss, aren't you afraid people will cause you trouble by naming your bar like this?"

"Um!"

The boss stretched out his right hand, raised it to his face, and used his index finger to grip the middle frame of his sunglasses. He pulled it down, revealing his weathered eyes behind them.

"Why should I care what other people think when I name my tavern?"

"Yeah!" Kuta nodded, sitting down on a chair at the bar. "That makes sense. After all, the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger, started his journey right here."

He stared at his boss, a wide smile playing on his lips.

"Am I right, Old Man?"

The boss took out a wine glass and slowly wiped it, completely ignoring Kuta's words.

"It's all old news, everyone knows it, what's there to be interested in!"

He raised his head, stared at Kuta, and spoke.

"But what brings you, young man, out to sea?"

"Me?" Kuta placed his hands on the bar, crossed his palms, rested his head on the back of his hands, thought for a moment, and then suddenly curled the corners of his mouth into a wicked smile.

"I was just about to take a stroll along the Grand Line!"

"Ah!"

The old man's dim eyes suddenly lit up, then his face was filled with surprise.

Seeing the old man's reaction, Kuta smiled slightly and then spoke.

"Just thinking about it makes me incredibly excited!"

"No matter how terrifying that sea area may be to others."

"I'm not afraid of these legends!"

Kuta paused, looking at the old man's increasingly wide eyes, and then roared out Luffy's famous quote.

"I'm going to the Grand Line to find 'One Piece'!"

"Then become the 'Pirate King'"

"Well..."

The entire tavern fell silent, then erupted in deafening laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha!!"

"Did I hear that right?!"

"With your small frame, how dare you boast that you want to be the Pirate King?"

Who do you think you are?!

"Ha ha ha ha..."

What Kuta said in the first half was all true, but he wasn't that interested in "Pirate King" or "One Piece".

He didn't save the world.

Ability.

Kuta ignored the mocking laughter behind him.

These Pirates will be stuck in the East Blue for the rest of their lives.

Hmm... no, because they're about to go to Hell.

Just as the boss was in a daze, a tall Pirates walked up behind Kuta.

He reeked of alcohol and was carrying a huge bottle of liquor.

Reaching behind Kuta, he roared and smashed the weapon down on Kuta's head.

"Kid, Pirates isn't child's play! You think you can become the Pirate King?"

You're overthinking it!

These guys assume that others are the same as them because they can't or dare not do things themselves.

Therefore, what these Pirates can't stand the most is others showing off their dreams in front of them.

Because these guys never even considered having dreams.

Perhaps it once existed, but it was smoothed out by the Sea.

Therefore, they also dislike others having, or rather, they are afraid that others will also have dreams.

A red light flashed in Kuta's eyes, and he dodged to the right, easily avoiding the bottle.

The bottle smashed on the bar with a loud "crack," followed by shards and liquor flying everywhere.

The debris heading towards Kuta stopped in mid-air as if it had been inserted into jelly.

Sorata is not a bold person like red hair. He was opened in the head with a wine bottle by the "bandit king" and he actually let him go.

Ultimately, this resulted in him losing an arm.

Um!

This must be karma!

Without the "Mountain Bandit King," Luffy might not have gotten his Straw Hat.

From now on, he can no longer be called Straw Hat Boy; he should be called Rubber Boy.

Thinking of this, Kuta couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Ha ha ha ha..."

Then he turned around and stared at the Sea standing behind him.

He wasn't going to let these guys get away with it. As soon as he came in, he sensed a strong, pungent smell of blood on them.

These guys probably haven't been robbing anyone for very long.

Even when they arrived in Loguetown, they only dared to visit the secluded taverns, and dared not go to the main street in the middle.

A low-level, yet most ruthless, Pirates.

The Sea stood there in terror, trembling all over.

Just as he finished smashing the bottle, he was locked onto by Kuta's imposing aura.

He felt as if his soul was being forced out of his body by this sudden surge of power.

His eyes widened in terror, and he tried to speak, but no sound came out.

Kuta spun the stool under his butt, turned around, and slowly stood up. Compared to the Pirates in front of him, he seemed rather short.

However, their overall presence is completely different.

The other Pirates in the tavern had stopped laughing. They all stared at Kuta, their hands reaching for their weapons, their faces filled with cruelty.

Chapter 63 The Beginning of a Legend

"What right do you have to look down on me?"

Kuta looked at the Sea in front of him, reached out and gently patted him on the shoulder.

Bang--!

The Sea immediately knelt on the ground.

"Hey! Qilike, what are you doing!"

A minor Pirates behind them shouted at Qilike, the Sea in front of Kuta, "Why aren't you killing this guy yet?"

Just then, all the Pirates realized something was wrong.

Qilike knelt before Kuta, head tilted back, eyes glazed, and urine flowed from between his legs.

Then he let out a scream of extreme terror and fainted.

I don't know what this guy saw that made him so terrified.

Kuta looked at Qilike, a hint of disgust flashing in his eyes.

What bad luck!

This guy looks so brave, but who knew he was such a coward? He actually peed his pants from being Conqueror's Haki.

He was just trying to control the range of Conqueror's Haki on this guy.

Who knew that he only revealed a sliver of it, and this guy was already hooked.

"What did you do to Qilike?"

The Pirates behind him, seeing Qilike fall to the ground for no apparent reason, shouted loudly at Kuta tone.

It was as if this could drive away the fear in their hearts at that moment.

This guy didn't even lift a finger; he just lightly patted Qilike immediately wet himself in fear and fainted.

That's terrifying!

Just then, there was a "snap".

One of the guys couldn't resist and fired directly at Kuta.

Seeing their companions take action, the remaining Pirates roared in unison and Kuta.

"Just give up!"

Kuta. Otherwise, he would have just finished off the Pirates after getting his drinks, just to amuse the owner of the place.

He didn't even look at the Bullet aimed at him; under his control, his Conqueror's Haki swept across the entire tavern in an instant, except for the old man.

The Bullet that was fired at him struck his skin with a "bang," as if it had hit an invisible wall, and could not go any further.

Then, along with the Pirates whose eyes had rolled back, they collapsed to the ground.

Ever since Kuta said the same thing as Roger, the boss has been keeping Kuta eye on him.

He's almost at the end of his life, and he's not afraid of anyone or anything, except that in the era Roger started, there won't be any brave Pirates who can continue to challenge the Grand Line.

But he saw it today.

He looked at Kuta as if he were looking at Roger in his prime.

Seeing that Kuta had sat back down on the stool, he ripped off his hat, revealing his sparse, light purple hair.

"What utterly audacious talk! How dare they say such a thing in this store?"

"I was just saying what I took for granted."

Kuta looked at the old man and chuckled softly.

"Haha!! You don't think I'm joking, do you?!"

"I would never do something so boring!"

"Oh..."

"Yeah?"

Then the old man burst out laughing.

"Hehehehe! Kid, since I've met a guest like you, I think I can live a few more years."

"I thought I'd never see anyone again who could challenge that Demon Sea like Roger!"
