CHAPTER 185: CHAPTER 185: THE NEW STRAW HAT PIRATES, THE PIRATE WITH THE DEEPEST BACKGROUND IN HISTORY

"Captain ’Straw Hat’ Monkey D. Luffy, Combatant ’Pirate Hunter’ Roronoa Zoro, Cook ’Black Leg’ Sanji, Mascot Tony Tony Chopper, and..."

"’Sniper King’ Usopp?"

"’Navigator’ Bon Clay?"

"’Shipwright’ Cyborg Franky?"

"’Musician’ ’Humming’ Brook?"

Flipping through the documents in his hand, the look of surprise on Karl’s face grew stronger and stronger.

Finally, he couldn’t help but open his mouth wide and exclaim in amazement, "Amazing, amazing! Is this the Child of Destiny favored by the world?!"

"Karl, why are you paying attention to these nobodies?"

Hancock, who was massaging Karl’s head and looking at the documents with him, had a hint of confusion on her beautiful face.

In the past half a year, Karl had completed a "minor correction" on Hancock.

He had transformed her fanatical worship into a romantic love between a man and a woman.

At the same time, he had also gotten rid of the honorific suffix "sama."

"They are not ordinary people."

Hearing Hancock’s words, Karl reached out and pinched Hancock’s face, which was free of any makeup, her skin fair and smooth, so much so that even the Slip-Slip Fruit couldn’t compare. He pointed to Luffy’s wanted poster and said, "Do you know what kind of background this young man has?"

"What?"

Hancock, rubbing against Karl’s hand, tilted her head at the right moment, showing an incomparably cute expression.

"His name is Monkey D. Luffy."

Karl first pointed to the name on the wanted poster, his finger stopping on the surname, and said, "The surname Monkey D. may not leave much of an impression on you, but I can tell you a secret that few people know."

"The leader of the Revolutionary Army, whom Mary Geoise is now extremely wary of and sees as its greatest enemy, his full name is Monkey D. Dragon, and he is Monkey D. Luffy’s father."

"The heroic figure who symbolizes the banner of the Marines, the close friend of the current Fleet Admiral, Garp, his full name is Monkey D. Garp, and he is Monkey D. Luffy’s grandfather."

Looking at Hancock, whose small mouth was slightly agape and whose face was full of shock, Karl pointed to the straw hat on Luffy’s head and continued, "The previous owner of this straw hat was the first man to conquer the Grand Line in eight hundred years, the one who started the Great Pirate Era—the Pirate King, Gol D. Roger."

"And the owner before that was the one who stood at the pinnacle of the world even earlier than me, with a bounty of 4,048,900,000 Berries—’Red-Haired’ Shanks."

"This straw hat was personally given to him by Shanks, and he is the one who guided Monkey D. Luffy to become a pirate."

"..."

After hearing Karl’s words, Hancock couldn’t help but fall silent.

As the former empress of the Kuja of the Calm Belt, Hancock was also one of the few knowledgeable women on Amazon Lily.

In the years before and after she inherited the throne, Gloriosa, who had lived abroad for a long time, had also taught her the common knowledge of the Grand Line.

At the very least, she knew about the three great powers of the Grand Line: Marine Headquarters, the Four Emperors’ pirate crews, and the Seven Warlords of the Sea.

As well as Mary Geoise and the Revolutionary Army.

So, Hancock knew what the Marine Hero, Garp, represented in the Marines.

She also knew that the leader of the Revolutionary Army, Dragon, was the most heinous criminal in history.

The deceased Pirate King, Roger, and Red-Haired Shanks were also among the few major figures she knew.

And these four major figures were all related to this pirate rookie.

Two of them were his family, and another was his guide.

Such a background was simply... unprecedented!

"Are you shocked?"

Looking at the speechless Hancock, Karl did not mention that the Pirate King’s son was Luffy’s sworn brother, nor that his other sworn brother was the chief of staff of the Revolutionary Army.

Otherwise, Hancock would surely have exclaimed: "He is definitely the pirate with the deepest background in history."

"Ah..."

Even so, Hancock also saw Luffy’s future with her empress’s eyes and said, "This man will probably stir up this sea in the future and become an incredible major figure."

"Indeed... I am also waiting for him to grow!"

Karl nodded, and his last sentence echoed in his heart.

As the true child of destiny and child of prophecy, Luffy was the key to starting a chaotic era.

Karl and Kaido might be able to start a new era.

But the vortex of the era they created was too small.

Only Luffy, the pirate with the deepest background in history, the child of destiny who bore the fate and prophecy, could completely ignite this Great Pirate Era that had lasted for twenty years.

A chaotic era that would involve the pirates, the Marines, the Revolutionary Army, and Mary Geoise, and even the member and non-member nations.

...This was the reason why Karl was looking forward to Luffy’s rapid growth.

At the same time, it was also to make a second-hand preparation for the legendary Pure Gold that could buy the whole world.

If the combined efforts of Baccarat’s Luck-Luck Fruit and the Glare-Glare Fruit from Doflamingo’s side could not find the legendary anglerfish.

Karl could only wait another two years, or even longer, until the Straw Hat Pirates encountered the anglerfish.

Finding the Pure Gold was one of Karl’s four great dreams.

Before obtaining the Pure Gold, Karl would continue to pay attention to Luffy’s growth to ensure that nothing went wrong.

Because the world’s luck was above Baccarat’s luck; the two were simply not in the same dimension.

The thing called luck undoubtedly existed.

Especially Karl, who had a goddess of luck by his side and had experienced the various benefits of luck many times, he was even more convinced of this point.

After telling Hancock about Luffy’s background, Karl’s gaze fell on the wanted posters of Usopp, Bon Clay, Brook, and Franky.

"Usopp didn’t wear a mask, revealing his real name."

"Bon Clay actually took Nami’s place and became the navigator of the Straw Hat Pirates."

"Brook got his shadow back three years ago. Did he join the Straw Hat Pirates at Reverse Mountain, or did they meet by chance on the way?"

Karl thought to himself, "And Franky, the shocking Enies Lobby incident clearly didn’t happen. Did this guy who holds the blueprints for Pluton not have his true identity discovered by CP9?"

"And Drum Island, where Chopper is, that’s not on the route to Whiskey Peak. Without the incident of Nami getting sick, how did Luffy recruit Chopper?"

"Could it be that the route he chose was not Whiskey Peak, but the route to Drum Island?"

"And then, because of the ship, he ultimately changed course and went to Water 7?"

"The shocking Enies Lobby incident didn’t happen, yet the whole crew has bounties? So that’s it. Is it because of ’White Chase’ Smoker?!"

"Tsk tsk... Is this the protagonist’s luck?"

Karl clicked his tongue in wonder, full of curiosity about Luffy’s voyage of the past few months.

What kind of rich sailing experience was it that would ultimately bring them all together?

Does every generation of the Pirate King have to experience a legendary adventure?
