One-Punch Man in the One Piece World

23. Call me King! The Norton Pirates are officially formed!

Norton gestured to stop the seven, then turned and walked towards the coast first.

"Let's go. There's no need to waste too much time on this island. We still need to find the pirates who stole Zoro's sword," Norton said without turning his head.

Zoro moved away from the wall he was leaning against and got up to follow Norton. The seven men looked at each other and followed.

Seeing this, Nami hurriedly whispered a few words to Nojiko and then chased after them.

"Hey! Nami! Where are you going?!" Ken shouted at Nami.

"I'm going to see Bellemere! Then I'll go out to sea with Norton!" Nami called out as she turned around.

"Stop! How could you become a pirate?!" Ah Jian immediately became furious.

"Save your energy, Nami won't listen." Nojiko stepped forward and patted Ken on the shoulder.

"What did she just say to you?" A-Jian glanced at Nokiko with a grim expression.

"Nami asked me to distribute the rest of the treasure to the people on this island who were hurt by Arlong," Nojiko said softly. "She also said that she had promised to be Norton's navigator long ago."

Ah Jian paused for a moment, then suddenly asked, "How long has it been since that day? Five years? Or ten?"

"Five years. Five years have passed since the day Arlong brought disaster," Noki said in a low voice.

"Five years? That means Nami is only fifteen years old now?" A-Jian rubbed his head, looking exasperated. "Seriously, I'm still worried about sending such a young child on an adventure at sea!"

Unfortunately, as children grow up, they develop their own ideas that adults cannot stop.

...

...

The following day at dawn.

The White Pearl set sail from the bay of Cocoyasi Village!

The villagers of Cocoyasi, including those from nearby villages, all rushed to the port to bid farewell to Norton after hearing that the hero who had defeated Arlong was going to sail away.

The cooks and boatmen on the White Pearl carried boxes of supplies onto the ship; these were gifts from the villagers.

Although everyone suffered under Ah Long's oppression, when the day of liberation arrived, everyone felt they should properly thank their benefactor.

It's worth mentioning that before leaving, Nami also said goodbye in her own way...

She stole everyone's wallets at the port!

However, the villagers of Cocoa Village didn't pay much attention to it.

Other villages are different; the insults they use are truly awful.

The White Pearl slowly sailed away from the dock. Nami looked at the bustling port with a grin, flicked the banknotes in her hand, and playfully stuck out her tongue.

Goodbye, everyone!

Funing emerged from the cabin, a book in her arms. "Norton! Where do we go next?"

"Let's have a meeting first!" Norton thought for a moment, then led the way into the cabin, casually putting his arm around Funing's soft shoulder and bringing Funing, who had just come out of the cabin, inside as well.

The group followed Norton into the conference room inside the ship's cabin.

The White Pearl has five decks in total, including the deck level; the deck level is the fifth deck.

The conference room is located on the third floor, which is two levels down from the deck. It is situated below the ship's wheel control platform and is very spacious, with a dozen or so red velvet sofas with gold trim placed in front of a huge round table.

It is said that when Funing designed this room, she wanted to have a place on the ship where the leaders could hold meetings.

On the dangerous high seas, timely communication is essential to ensure the safe passage of this massive ship.

"Furning!" Norton plopped down on the largest red velvet sofa. "This room is nice! Let's improve it some more! I want to turn this place into an aquarium!"

Norton remembered that in the original story, there was a room like this on the Straw Hat crew's ship, with transparent glass on all sides, and you could see a huge fish tank through the glass while sitting in the room.

Norton also wanted a room like that; the White Pearl was bigger than the Thousand Sunny, so there was no reason why it couldn't be done.

"Turn it into an aquarium?" Funing was amazed by Norton's idea. "It actually sounds like a good idea! Let me think about how to do it!"

"We'll talk about that later! First, we need the materials!" Norton grinned. "We don't even have a pirate flag yet! We can take our time with these things!"

Sanosuke, Zoro, and Nami entered the conference room one after another and took their seats.

Norton looked around; there were still plenty of seats available, and the meeting room felt rather empty.

However, Norton did not allow anyone else to enter. He planned to use this room as a private gathering place for the ship's officers in the future, and unauthorized personnel were not allowed to set foot in it.

"From today onwards, the Norton Pirates are officially established!" Norton gave a simple opening speech and raised his glass.

"oh!"

"I'm only a temporary member!"

"Haha, I don't care about that! Cheers!"

Sanosuke, Zoro, Nami, and Funing raised their glasses in succession, their glasses clinking together and spilling wine onto the round table.

"My lord, what are your next instructions?" Sanosuke finished the water in his glass.

"Simple!" Norton laughed, slamming his glass on the table. "Now that our pirate crew is formed, I'm going to make it the biggest and strongest pirate crew!"

"The White Pearl is still understaffed! There aren't nearly enough people to command! I need more subordinates!"

To cause such heavy casualties just by dealing with a mere evil dragon, I can't even imagine what it will be like when we enter the Grand Line.

He has too few henchmen!

Norton can't do everything himself and always be at the forefront. He's here to be a king, not a henchman.

He could shoulder any danger his subordinates couldn't handle. But if Norton had to deal with those pathetic weaklings personally, it would be beneath him!

Norton not only wants to be the greatest king, but also to build the most powerful team!

In most cases, he can handle all risks without having to step in!

"I'll start in the East Blue! I'll conquer the East Blue! I'll bring all the named pirate crews under my command! I'll build a massive pirate fleet!"

To establish a nation, human resources are essential; otherwise, even if you occupy enough territory in the new world, you won't have enough people to manage it.

The pirates in the East Blue may be of lower quality, but with some training, they can still be useful!

Norton simply treated these villains as expendable resources; the only true core members of the ship were the officers he approved of.

"You plan to conquer the East Blue first?" Zoro raised an eyebrow.

"That's right!" Norton's lips curled up, his eyes shining.

"As far as I know, the more famous pirate crews in the East Blue right now include the Spade Pirates, the Black Cat Pirates, the Buggy Pirates, the Krieg Pirates, and the Arlong Pirates..."

Fu Ning dipped her brush in ink and used a quill to write the names of several pirate crews on the paper.

"We've defeated the Arlong Pirates!" Nami said triumphantly.

"Then only these few pirate crews are still relatively famous..." Fu Ning tapped her chin with the pen. "It is said that because of the hero Garp, most of the pirates in the East Blue with bounties of tens of millions of Berries have been wiped out."

Norton's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing the name of the hero Garp.

He was actually looking forward to Garp coming over; the previous CP0 was too weak and hadn't given him enough fun.

Why is it so hard to have fun to the fullest?

"So our next plan is to take over those pirate crews?" Fu Ning tapped the table to confirm.

"That's right! We'll spend the rest of our time actively searching for these pirate crews and then recruit them into our ranks!"

"We already have the strongest ship; what we need next is the strongest pirate crew in the East Blue! The strongest crew!"

"And another thing! Calling me captain is too cliché!"

Norton scanned the faces of Sanosuke, Funing, Nami, and Zoro one by one.

"From now on, call me King!"
