Chapter 36 The Face-Blind Little People
Chapter 36 The Face-Blind Little People
As the group of dwarfs moved, both Luo Ji and Yamato's Observation Haki detected their presence.
A thought suddenly flashed through Luo Ji's mind, and the corners of his mouth lifted slightly.
With a 'bang'.
Luo Ji flicked a gold coin, and a chestnut-shaped hat appeared on his head. Yamato and Tama looked at Luo Ji's change with some curiosity.
When the little warriors hidden in the flower field saw this chestnut-headed boy, they all showed unusually surprised expressions.
This strange, large human looks exactly like their great hero, Noland.
"Captain Leo! Is Lord Noland back?!"
Vika, a member of the Totem race's scout team, grabbed Leo's hand and shouted excitedly.
Has the great hero statue that stands in their Tontatta Kingdom come to life?
The little people, who are blind to chestnut-shaped faces, simply cannot tell the difference.
"I need to see Noland!"
One after another, the little people rushed out in droves to meet their great hero.
Even Cyrus hadn't expected that these little people would suddenly rush out like this.
He had not yet fully figured out what Luo Ji thought of the dwarf race.
"Nolando" xN
"Nolando, you've finally shown up!"
"Noland, will you help us like you did back then?"
"Nolando, the Don Quixote family is awful these days, please help us."
···
One after another, little people appeared, chattering and telling their stories to their great hero.
Yamato's eyes almost melted when he saw these little people appear.
"So cute!!"
Yamato quickly took out a nautical logbook and started writing and drawing at lightning speed.
She encountered a race of little people that wasn't even recorded in Oden's nautical log.
"Don't worry! I'm here to help you. Soon, I'll lead my crew to drive them away!"
Luo Jitian shamelessly announced, already having already planned how to fool these honest and obedient little people.
"That's great! Noland, the great hero!"
"Nolando! Nolando!"
The little people were completely excited, leaving Cyrus and Rebecca speechless.
How is this going?
"Stop, stop! My name is Luo Ji, a warrior who wants to liberate the whole world."
Luo Ji waved his hand, spouting nonsense with a straight face, his expression extremely solemn.
"The liberation fighter, Luo Jilandu!"
"Liberation Hero Luo Jilandu!"
"The great hero, Roggelando!"
Hearing Luo Ji's self-introduction and dreams, the little people became even more excited and shouted with great enthusiasm.
"So it turns out that Brother Luo Ji's dream is to liberate the whole world."
Xiaoyu's eyes sparkled. She vaguely remembered that Luo Ji had said he wanted to become the strongest person in the world and defeat the King of the World, the Five Elders, the Four Emperors, and the Three Generals.
"Luo Ji, so you're the great hero! Then I'm the great hero, the first mate!"
Yamato excitedly recorded the day's events and even drew a sketch of the portrait.
"Does the captain want to be a great hero or a great pirate?"
Rebecca couldn't quite understand this 'ambitious' pirate captain.
Most importantly, Rebecca is still completely baffled as to how Luo Ji became a great hero of the dwarf race.
Cyrus was in a similar situation, looking completely bewildered.
···
Through enthusiastic exchanges and sharing of grievances, the dwarfs and Luo Ji grew to get along better and better.
They also invited Luo Ji and his friends to visit Greenbit's Dongtata Kingdom.
They wanted to introduce the great hero Rogilando to King Gancho and Princess Mansherry, to bring joy to the entire kingdom.
The great hero who saved their race of little people has reappeared.
Luo Ji also wanted to see this user of the Healing Fruit ability.
He accepted the dwarfs' invitation.
In the sky, a giant crane is flying rapidly.
"Captain Luo Ji, your abilities are amazing!"
Rebecca, her pink hair fluttering in the wind, looked down at the sea below with great excitement.
"Rogilando! You must defeat the Don Quixote family!"
Leo and Vika, these little people, climbed onto Luo Ji's shoulders or clothes, excitedly getting up close and personal with their great hero idol.
"That poodle can fly too?"
The toy soldier Cyrus watched as the lion-like komainu transformed into another, restored monster.
Is this a komainu with Devil Fruit powers?
This pirate crew is really powerful.
"Of course, our Luo Ji Pirates will become the strongest pirate crew, surpassing even the Pirate King Roger!"
Yamato said proudly, but the next moment she carefully stroked the little people on Luo Ji's body, wishing she could grab one or two of them.
But these little people were so clingy that Yamato was a little jealous.
Meanwhile, in a room on King's Heights.
Violet cupped her hands in front of her eyes, watching the departing Feihe group.
"Rebecca and the dwarves are actually so familiar with that man?"
Violet's eyes flashed with a glimmer of hope.
This Luo Ji Pirates seem to have no fear of Doflamingo at all.
That makes sense, as this Rakshasa Queen Yamato is the daughter of Kaido, one of the Four Emperors, and has a bounty of 1.399 billion Berries.
This King of Hell, Gol D. Law, is no ordinary man either. He dared to attack the navy fleet and forcibly seize Hanafza, the former Shichibukai.
They certainly don't need to fear the Don Quixote family.
"Rebecca, you must succeed!"
Violet murmured softly, choosing to keep the news of the Luo Ji Pirates' appearance in Dressrosa a secret from Doflamingo.
One day, Rebecca will return with the powerful Luo Ji Pirates and overthrow Doflamingo's rule.
···
Greenbit Dongta Kingdom.
The arrival of Luo Ji and his group caused a stir in this Lilliputian kingdom.
They were saved by Noland back then, and now they're saved by Roy Lando again. They're incredibly lucky.
"Rogilando, Doflamingo is despicable. He has captured many of our people."
He sold those people to the Celestial Dragons, to Big Mom, one of the Four Emperors...
King Gancho cried with a guilty expression, saying that if they were strong enough, he would have fought the Don Quixote family to the death long ago.
The Don Quixote family, which had been gone from Dressrosa for over eight hundred years, has returned to enslave them.
"Don't worry, once I've gathered my strength and recruited more powerful crew members, I'll come back and completely defeat Doflamingo."
Luo Ji made a serious promise; in fact, he and Yamato could have caused a huge disturbance in the Don Quixote family right now.
However, if Yamato is forcibly held back by Doflamingo for a period of time, Luo Ji will not have enough troops to deal with so many of the Donquixote Family's executives.
It would be safer to recruit more crew members before launching the attack.
Unless, when dealing with the Don Quixote family, he seems indifferent to the fate of Dressrosa, he floods the entire country.
The Nara Pirates were also able to defeat the Donquixote Family.
But if that happens, who knows how many civilians will die.
Even if the Riku royal family is unwilling, the Navy will probably hunt down Luo Ji relentlessly.
Even wandering samurai like Fujitora Issho, and even some relatively neutral pirate crews, would find Luo extremely displeasing.
This is extremely damaging to their public image. The Luo Ji Pirates are still in their early stages, and they cannot do such a thing!
