Onmyoji of the Grand Line

"You bastard!"

Upon realizing he had been tricked, Sanji flew into a rage. He had faked drowning to lure them into a trap.

"However, they are all very poor. They may seem wealthy and powerful, but they don't actually have a single penny!"

The child wearing a baseball cap said slyly.

"So that's how it is, a bunch of poor bastards!"

The young man untied the ropes binding him.

Bang bang bang bang!

The bottom of the net was lifted, and Luffy and his crew fell with the Swan, scattering all over the ground.

"You bastard! What's going on?!"

The two men burst into laughter and said their names.

"We set sail to find a treasure mountain and the world's number one thief."

The young man struck a pose, then leaped onto the pile of boxes.

"Polod!" a voice called from afar.

The little guy jumped onto the box and struck a pose, shouting, "Akis!"

Unexpectedly, the huge pile of boxes collapsed and fell to the ground, and the two of them fell to the ground as well.

"Ow!"

The lid of the box was opened, and the contents were scattered all over the floor.

"Oh my goodness!"

The first to react was Nami, dressed in a formal gown. Although she was a navigator, she was actually a thief. What she cared about most was money and wealth.

"Hey! Don't touch our baby!"

"Polod shouted."

"What's going on? Worthless!"

Nami was disappointed. All the gems were made of glass. All the goldware was plated with gold. The artwork was an imitation, its quality even surpassing that of the original gift. Even a novice who knew nothing about appraisal could tell at a glance that it was a fake.

"What use is it if it's worthless? This is our treasure!"

Akis shouted.

"It's worthless! Don't assume that a toy box is the same as a box; that's really baffling."

Disappointed, Nami said something very hurtful to the child.

"Wow! What? The number one thief in the world! That's amazing! A third-rate guy!"

Usopp burst into laughter.

"Hey! Don't think I, Borod, am an idiot!"

"Polod, don't underestimate him! Polod's destination is that diamond clock on that island. If I can steal it, I'll be the number one thief in the world!"

"A giant clock! Is this the huge diamond ring?!"

Nami's heart began to race.

"What is this thing?"

"Usopp? This is the most precious mechanical clock! The most exquisite work of art is made with the finest craftsmanship and the best diamonds. The diamonds alone are worth 10 billion!"

Nami's eyes sparkled. A diamond clock, no matter the era, is something every woman dreams of.

"Oh my! It really is Nami. She's so knowledgeable!"

Sanji looked at Nami with an expression of adoration.

"Oh my! If I could get my hands on it, I would be the undisputed number one thief in the world!"

Usopp then realized what was going on.

Chapter 279: Something Exciting!

"If that's the case, I would do the same."

Luffy suddenly interrupted him.

Polod and Archis were completely bewildered, looking at the young man wearing a straw hat and a smile on his face.

"What I want to do is become the world's strongest pirate king!"

Luffy slapped his own chest!

"Oh my! That's the Pirate King."

"Yes!" Everyone nodded in agreement.

"With this ship..."

The thief pointed to the swan boat as he spoke.

"No way! Our ship has been stolen!"

Luffy was a little flustered and annoyed.

"Is your boat that of that little boat with the straw hat?!"

"Polod said, glancing at Luffy's hat.

"Yes! You've seen him before, haven't you?" "Really?"

“I saw it a few days ago! That pirate ship must be on their territory!”

"Playing cards?!"

"Are you a pirate?" The Poker Brothers, the notorious pirate crew that terrorizes Clockwork Island, come and see!

As he spoke, Polod pulled out a few sheets of paper from his pocket.

"Boojack—a fat guy who looks really hot!"

"Queen Hani, such a sexy older sister!"

"Skanker Wayne, a guy with a side parted hairstyle and shifty eyes!"

“Pion, a skinny guy!”

Polod showed everyone a naval arrest warrant with a photograph consisting of one or two errors.

"Next up is Belkin."

"Belkin!"

The fifth document contained a face as ferocious as a bear. The fact that a thief uttered the word "brutal" reveals the heinous crimes these pirates had committed.

"Damn it! I never expected to run into such a group of people. Let's get out of here!"

Usopp was the first to react. The mere sight of Belkin's portrait sent shivers down his spine. Realizing the situation was dire, he ran as fast as he could in the entire pirate crew.

"Nothing more than that!"

Sanji dislikes failure the most, and his boasting is the complete opposite of Usopp's.

Normally, bounties aren't issued to everyone unless they're a large-scale pirate organization. Although Luffy already has a bounty of 30 million Berries, people like Sanji haven't been hunted down yet. In other words, from the Navy's perspective, this is a sizable pirate group. This greatly displeases Sanji.

"How could someone steal our Kimberley?"

"Belkin, in order to show off his strength, has plundered a lot of ships from other pirate groups. I saw them heading towards Clockwork Island."

"An island?"

Nami thought for a moment and then asked.

"Polod, what's wrong? A big ship has arrived!"

Akis shouted, and everyone moved toward the edge of the ship.

The outline of a ship could be seen. Usopp, holding a sniper rifle, began to survey his surroundings.

"Wow! It's a pirate ship!"

A pirate flag hung on the mast. Because it was in a blind spot of the reef, they didn't notice the pirate ship as it approached.

Just then, a rushing sound of water came from behind Luffy and his crew.

Looking back, they saw that the thief had already thrown the swan boat into the sea, and the two of them boarded the boat.

"Speak of the devil and he shall appear." Alright, this pirate flag will be our signboard.

"Do I still need to work harder?"

Luffy was somewhat surprised.

Borod looked at Luffy's silly expression and was speechless.

"Ouch! This is a team of pirates attacking your ship from all sides. If you really are a pirate, take them down and reclaim your warship!"
