Chapter 256 Decision
Under everyone's doubtful eyes, Usopp ran over with an excited face waving a piece of paper in his hand.
"What are you talking nonsense about?" Looking at Usopp running over, the foreman scolded him directly, "We don't have any pirates here. Stop bragging again, or you'll get caught!"
However.
Faced with the foreman's scolding, Usopp did not calm down, and still said excitedly, "I didn't lie this time!" He held his head high, raised his long nose at a forty-five-degree angle, and waved his hands. The paper said, "As long as you pass the exam, the East China Sea Navy will never stop pirates from entering the Great Channel. This is the East China Sea Navy's new pirate regulations."
As soon as these words fell.
"?!!"
Except for Luffy who was still eating, everyone was stunned.
New pirate rules?
What is this guy talking about?
"Impossible!" The foreman came to his senses first and scolded again, "What are you talking nonsense about here? You usually just brag, but now you dare to brag like this? Are you really afraid of being caught?"
"That's right, Usopp, don't say these nonsense!" Belmeber also nodded seriously and said, "You will really be caught!"
"How about..." Sauron also smiled ferociously and half-pulled out his sword, "Let's capture him!"
"I, I didn't lie this time, I really didn't lie!" Seeing the scene in front of him, Usopp became anxious and shook the paper in his hand, "This is a new regulation issued by the East China Sea Navy personally!"
As he spoke, he directly put the paper in Belmeber's hand.
"Really, if you don't believe it, see for yourself!"
"???"
Seeing Usopp's serious look, Belmeber also took the note in confusion. Then, the other three people came up curiously and looked at it directly.
After a while...
"Damn it, it's really true!"
"Didn't you hear some time ago that they were catching pirates everywhere? Zoro, what does your senior brother want to do?"
"I don't know? This couldn't have been done by someone else, right?"
"Belmeber, what is this?"
Except for Luffy, the other three people's eyes suddenly widened.
"I've already told you that I'm not lying!" Seeing the looks of the four of them, Usopp proudly scratched his nose with his thumb again, "This is the news I got with great difficulty! How about it? I'm not lying. You guys!”
"I'm not cheating, it's just this new pirate rule..." Belmeber looked at the document in his hand speechlessly and said, "You have to take an exam to be a pirate? What is this? Will anyone really listen?"
"Forget it, it doesn't matter, anyway, I just want to hone my swordsmanship." Zoro glanced at him. Although he was shocked, after reading it, he ignored it, "You can ask Luffy! Just ask him! This guy wants to be a pirate."
"Yes, I am the man who wants to become the Pirate King!"
"Then will you take the exam?" Hearing Luffy's words, Bellemeber also shook the document in his hand, looked at Luffy and said, "Only after passing the exam can you become a pirate?"
"Why? Don't you just need to go to sea to become a pirate?"
"Who above stipulates that pirates in the East China Sea can only become pirates after passing the examination and get the opportunity to enter the great waterway. Otherwise, the East China Sea Navy will directly arrest the pirate group!"
"Hmm~" Luffy immediately crossed his arms, frowned, and pursed his lips in thought, "So? Why do we need to take the exam? I am a man who wants to go to sea to pursue freedom and become the Pirate King!"
"I'm just telling you, how could there be a pirate taking the exam?" Belmeber complained angrily, and then looked at it carefully, "What on earth does the East China Sea Navy want to do? Is there any hidden purpose? "
As he said that, he looked carefully several times and still couldn't figure out what the East China Sea Navy wanted to do.
"Hey, is there anything on the back?" Belmeber seemed to have discovered something. He turned over the back, frowned, and muttered, "The first hundred pirates to sign up can enjoy a 15% discount on the purchase of ships. At the same time, If there is insufficient funds, loans will be allowed after review.”
"Ordering a ship now will not only give you a free navigation system independently developed by the East China Sea Navy, but you will also win a lottery for a new climate warning device to protect you during dangerous sea voyages!"
"Giant ship arms, equip your ship with arms to make it easier to move. If you want a robot, just install a robot arm on your ship! - General Franky."
"Orange stuffed..."
"What the hell are these?" Belmeber looked at the document in his hand speechlessly, "You're actually advertising on it?"
The words fell.
He seemed to feel something and raised his head. When he saw Luffy with his neck stretched out and looking at the documents in his hand, his eyes shining, he was immediately startled, "Luffy, what are you doing? "
"Let's go sign up!"
"???"
Before Belmeber, who was stunned by Luffy's roar, could say something.
"There are ships! There are also robots!" Luffy took the paper and looked at the handsome ship on it, "This ship is so handsome! Can I get this ship as a gift if I sign up?"
"Where did you get it? Buy! Yes! But there is a discount." Bellemeber said angrily, "Of course you can also apply for a loan, but I don't know what the requirements are!"
"Is there a discount?" Hearing Belmeber's words, Luffy's face was stunned. Then he seemed to remember something, took off his hat, and took out a wrinkled lump from the hat, which seemed to be soaked in sweat. He raised the paper, grinned, and laughed loudly, "I still have this, Bellmeber, Zoro, Usopp, Foreman, let's go register for the exam together! This way we will definitely be able to buy our own ship." of!"
"If you ask me to be the captain, I will agree!"
"Going to sea? I heard that there are many strong men on the sea! I don't care."
"Do you really want to go to sea? Even if the policy changes, this is only within the East China Sea! Don't you still have to hide and hide outside?"
Just as the three of them were meditating, aside...
"Thank you very much for inviting me, but please spare me! I still have a wife and children!" The foreman looked at Luffy speechlessly, and then looked at the thing he took from Luffy's hand. , "Isn't this the consolation prize in that competition? Luffy, you actually still keep it?"
"Of course I want to buy a pirate ship!"
"Buy a pirate ship? It's just..." The foreman fell silent for a moment, hesitated again, and then said, "This seems to have expired!"
"???"
…
At this time, with the news of new pirate rules in the East China Sea, the pirate circle in the East China Sea is gradually changing.
"Kini, have you decided?"
"Taimei, I have decided, I want to go to the Grand Channel to see it! What about you, Hei Kun?"
"Now that you two have decided, let the three of us sign up together! Let's see who graduates first and enters the Grand Channel."
Countless pirates, like the Straw Hats and the three pirate groups of Black Kun, Gini, and Taimei, decided to sign up, obtain certificates, enter the Grand Waterway, and start a free adventure.
…
And the other side.
The leader of the East China Sea Navy, Xia Che, who promulgated new pirate regulations, was looking at the digital Vegapunk in front of him, with a smile on his face.
A new era for the East China Sea Navy is also coming!
