One Piece: The painter with a particularly long blue bar

Chapter 2 Prelude to the Battle

"How about it, you've never seen a pirate like this before!" Usopp said while making various faces at Keya.

"Hahaha o(*▽)ツ" Although Keya was thinking about Luffy's arrival, she was still amused by Usopp's traditional art - Yan Yi.

"Then we escaped with a huge slingshot!" Usopp was saying, as if in response to what Usopp said, Keya suddenly saw a few black shadows in the sky and fell with hearty laughter. It came down and hit the ground in the yard. A boy wearing a straw hat landed on his face, but he still said "safe landing".Let the orange-haired girl who followed him complain.

The straw hat boy is the protagonist of the original work, King (crossed out) Luffy. He is followed by Nami, a thief with short orange hair who specializes in stealing pirates, and Zoro, a pirate hunter with green short hair.

When Luffy got up, Usopp wanted to smooth things over and said that he was one of his admirers who came to see him. Unexpectedly, Luffy refused directly and told Keya that he was here to borrow a boat, but he didn't say anything. After saying that, he was stopped by the butler Crowe who came over after hearing the sound.

"Who are you guys? How did you break into someone else's home? Please go back now. Do you want to say anything else?" Crowe adjusted his glasses with his wrist while facing the straw hat who came in. The group of young men asked loudly.

The next plot is the same as the original work. I would also like to say that Luffy who borrowed the boat was directly rejected by Crowe. Instead, he turned his fire to Usopp who quietly came down from the tree and deliberately belittled Usopp's father. He was a man who was abandoned for financial gain. The dirty pirate in his family used this to anger him, and slandered Usopp for approaching Keya because of the family property.

When Keya heard this, she couldn't help but roll her eyes, thinking that you really know how to shout and catch a thief. However, Keya didn't speak at this time. She was just watching Crowe's performance.

Until Usopp angrily punched Crowe, and Usopp grabbed the collar and was about to be beaten again. In the original book, Keya would call Usopp to stop him at this time, and let the already sad Usopp leave directly. But now Keya is eager for Usopp to punch Crowe a few more times. She doesn't want to stop him in the original work. She even clapped her little hands and shouted to Usopp:

"Come on! Usopp beat him!! o(v)o~~".

Keya's cheering immediately attracted everyone's attention, and Usopp turned his head in confusion, not knowing what was going on.

Crow, who was beaten, looked at the laughing eldest lady in surprise. He really didn't expect that the little girl who was always gentle, kind and very dependent on him would actually let this long-nosed brat hit him!

"Hahaha, seeing your expression really made me laugh to death! I didn't expect you to be like this!"

Seeing the disbelief on Crowe's face, Keya laughed in relief.

"Is this the weak young lady you are talking about?"

Zoro, who was watching the show on the sidelines, couldn't help but complain to Usopp, who still had a look on his face.

"I heard your request, I can promise to give you a sailboat, and I can also give you an extra reward, but you have to help me beat this bad guy so hard that he can't stand up. So far! He is an evil pirate lurking next to me and plotting against my family property!!"

Ignoring Crowe, whose expression grew darker as he spoke, Keya turned towards Luffy and said seriously.

"So this housekeeper is a bad guy, right? If we help, will we be able to save the wealth of this young lady's family, and will we get extra remuneration!"

Nami on the side heard Keya's words, her eyes glowed with Bailey's light and whispered to Usopp.

"probably......"

It was also the first time for Usopp to see Keya like this, and he was a little unsure when he heard the question.

"Then what are you waiting for? Go quickly!"

The first one to speak was Nami, who looked greedy for money. She quickly pushed Zoro and Luffy who were standing next to her.

"...I don't know what the situation is, but I just need to beat this unpleasant guy away, right?"

Luffy pressed the straw hat on his head and grinned at Keya.

"When did you know this?"

Crowe ignored Luffy who was eager to try, and just stared at Keya on the second floor and asked gloomily.

In Crowe's view, he is just a brat who has only been at sea for a few days, and is no match for him. The most important thing now is to find out when and how this young lady, whom he does not know, knew about his plan. of.

"Haha, I won't tell you. You can guess it later when you get to the navy prison."

Keya looked at Crowe, who had a gloomy look on his face, and felt that all the fear and grievance he had been feeling during this period was released, and he was extremely happy.

"Although I don't know what you know, but do you expect these brats who just went to sea to defeat me? Stop joking! Just kill all of you guys and let Zangao and the others loot this place. My plan You can still succeed!!"

Crowe stared at the happily smiling Keya, while trying to suppress his anger, he gritted his teeth and said coldly.

"I'm so scared. It's not up to you whether you can win or not."

Keya glanced disdainfully at Crowe, who had an ugly face, then turned his eyes away and thought about Luffy and said loudly:

"Come on! Luffy!".

"Rubber Rubber...Pistol!"

Luffy, who had been impatient for a long time, punched out the moment he heard Keya's words. The powerful punch pulled Luffy's arm long, and hit Crowe's cheek from a distance. He didn't react for a moment. Crowe was instantly knocked out.

"Is this strange attack method a devil fruit?"

Locke, who had been knocked to the ground, slowly stood up from the ground and finally looked directly at Luffy in front of him, with a serious look in his eyes.

"It does hurt a little. It's such a disgusting feeling."

Locke gritted his teeth and said something, but at some point, he put on a pair of gloves with five long blades connected to the ends. The blades were too long, so he could only use his wrists to hold the ones that were a little crooked. Glasses.

Locke finished adjusting his glasses, and with a movement of his feet, he disappeared from the spot in an instant, and when he reappeared, he was already behind Luffy.

"Prepare to bear Captain Crow's wrath, brat!!"

As he said that, Crowe, who had arrived behind Luffy at some point, raised the long blade in his hand and swung it down towards Luffy's defenseless back.

"Watch your back! Luffy!"

Nami and Usopp on the side were also startled by Crowe, but they still shouted to Luffy.

"boom!"

At this moment, a gunshot suddenly sounded, and a bullet flew past the location where Crowe was just now, but Crowe disappeared instantly. When Luffy turned around, he only saw everyone and surprised expressions. , and a smoking pistol in Keya's hand on the second floor.

"Miss Keya, I really underestimate you!"

A vicious and terrifying voice came from the side, and the strong murderous intention made everyone present feel frightened. Crowe's figure slowly appeared from a short distance away, with little blood stains on his arms.

"Keya, you're so powerful! I never thought you were so powerful before. You can hit me at such a fast speed!"

Usopp screamed in surprise. He never expected that the girl in front of him was so powerful. Today's Keya made him feel like the one he met a year ago was a fake Keya.

It's not that Keya didn't want to tell Usopp, but she really hadn't practiced shooting before.

Thanks to the powerful magic value, although Keya does not have shooting skills, when Keya's concentration is highly concentrated, it will produce an effect similar to bullet time.

In her field of vision, the movement of all objects became as if they were still, allowing her to see Crow's movement trajectory, and predict in advance to stop Crow's attack with a pistol.

"Now is not the time to talk about this. Luffy, be careful. This guy is very fast. He seems to have a silent footwork called tiptoeing. He moves very fast and has a large-area damage skill."

After Keya finished speaking, she said to Nami and the others:

"Nami, Usopp, run to Zoro and let him protect you!"

"You really know me well, Miss Keya! After I deal with these troublesome brats, I will slowly get to know you better!!"

When Crowe heard Keya's words at this time, he no longer had the initial impulse. He just gave Keya a cold look, then moved his steps and disappeared.
