5 Chapter 5: Dadan Family.

Shanks finally left. As a pirate, it was impossible for him to stay in one place for too long.

In the bar, Hiruma looked at Luffy, who was reluctant to leave, and the gloomy expression on Makino's face. He couldn't help but sigh inwardly. This gentle and kind woman with strong inner resilience was truly heartbreaking.

"Hiruma-san, there is plenty of wine today. If it's not enough, just tell me," Makino said as she brought a large jar of wine to Hiruma and sweetly smiled at him.

Hiruma was immediately hooked. "Damn! Such a good girl, yet she stays here and runs away this bar by herself! You wait, you idiotic redhead. When I become powerful, I will smash your ship and tie you up to change diapers!" Hiruma downed a glass of wine and began to contemplate that it was time to go to Colubo Mountain.

As Hiruma continued with his plans, a small sound resounded behind him. There Luffy suddenly knelt. "Oh, little guy, are you surrendering?" Hiruma couldn't help but sneer when he saw Luffy kneeling in front of him. This damn taunting technique had already become a part of him.

"Please..." It was evident that Luffy had gone through a difficult mental struggle before making this decision. "Please take me as your disciple and teach me how to become stronger!"

Taking on a disciple destined to become the Pirate King was a great achievement. His name would reverberate throughout the world!

Ohh, Rayleigh. Your disciple will belong to me.

Although Hiruma was thinking this, he didn't immediately agree: "You're quite clever, little guy. It's a pity that I'll be leaving here soon. If you're lucky enough, you might run into me again, and then I'll take you on as my disciple."

Naturally, Hiruma had his own plans. It was too easy to take Luffy as his disciple now, but Garp, the old fox, wasn't so easily fooled. He would assume that Hiruma had taken the initiative to approach Luffy and tricked him into becoming his disciple.

It was human nature, just like rich people dating.

If it was a girl they had worked hard to pursue, they would cherish her more.

However, if some girl suddenly appeared without warning, they would suspect that the other person was after their money.

"Young lady, make a note of this," Hiruma said as he took a bottle of wine and left without paying attention to Luffy's continued begging. He confidently walked away with a swagger, leaving Makino still sweetly smiling with her head tilted to the side.

"Don't worry, I won't drink your wine for free. When the time is right, I'll send you a big gift." Hiruma became even more determined to beat up the redhead as he walked away.

He originally wanted to save Ace, but at the current pace, it seemed unlikely.

As he gained a deeper understanding of this world, Hiruma realized that even with his system, it wouldn't be easy to grow strong enough to influence the Summit War within ten years.

Unless Garp, Whitebeard, and others lined up to help him collect loot.

But it didn't matter. If possible, saving Ace would be the best option.

If it couldn't be done, he would have to settle for fulfilling his second biggest wish.

One Piece can wait, but the dumb Momonosuke must die!

.....

Colubo Mountain, Dadan family stronghold.

Hiruma came here alone, without his subordinates.

Looking at the Dadan family bandits surrounding him, he activated his max-level Taunt skill.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I heard this is the Dadan family stronghold."

"But how come this grandfather didn't see any bandits, only a group of villagers with hoes?"

Unfortunately, he didn't see Ace's figure.

The other party was probably with Sabo at the "Gray Terminal," collecting treasures.

Sure enough, no one could maintain their composure under his max-level taunt skill.

"Bastard! How dare you underestimate the Dadan family? Show your strength or prepare to die!"

Hiruma sneered and lazily extended a finger, surveying the crowd. "Come at me together, don't blame me for bullying you."

"How dare you insult the Dadan family! No matter who you are, you will pay the price!" An orange-haired, urmmm, lady said.

Faced with Hiruma's max-level taunt skill, the bandits had lost their rationality and rushed forward together.

Hiruma sneered once again, and an invisible aura suddenly burst out from his body.

Conqueror's Haki!

Hum~ (Apparently, the sound of Haki)

There seemed to be a silent explosion centered around him.

The group of bandits of the Dadan family was blasted away by the tyrannical and domineering Haki, each one losing consciousness and collapsing on the ground.

At this moment, only Curly Dadan, who was holding a long-handled axe, was still standing in front of Hiruma.

Amidst the deadly silence, a drop of sweat slipped down her face.

Just now, she felt a force that she couldn't see pressing on her whole body.

"Co...Co...Conqueror's Haki!"

Curly finally knew who she was facing.

It was ridiculous. How could she still dare to wave her weapon at the other party?

Even if the opponent stood still, she couldn't hurt him at all.

Hiruma was now trying to control his body to not show any anomalies.

Now, it was still too difficult for him to use Conqueror's Haki without feeling exhausted. Its consumption was simply too great.

The battle ended, and red loot fell all over the ground, as well as a yellow loot.

That orange loot was obviously dropped by Curly.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Never-wearing-out Men's Underwear' from the red-grade loot!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Never-wearing-out Men's Pants' from the red-grade loot!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the 'Never-wearing-out Men's Shoes' from the red-grade loot!]

...

Finally, something useful.

It was a complete set of clothes.

This was quite practical, although it had no extra defense ability, but it wouldn't be ripped, perfectly avoiding the embarrassing situation of tearing clothes in future battles.

Wow, after a battle, underwear, and clothes were flying everywhere, which was really eyeful.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host for obtaining the skill: Babysitting. The skill's initial level is being matched according to the host's talent!]

[Host]: Hiruma

[Strength]: 22

[Speed]: 30

[Constitution]: 21

[Skills]: Swordsmanship lv1, Marksmanship lv1, Taunt lvMAX, Babysitting lvMAX

...

Fuck!

This is the initial level matched according to my talent?

Max level, it's actually fucking max level!

"This great grandpa looks so ferocious, you are so blind that you saw that this great grandpa could take care of children!"

It seemed that his combat talent was useless and trash, while his daily life skills were all superb.

"Senior, everything here can be taken away by the senior. If the senior is not satisfied, this lady... "

"Stop!" Looking at Curly Dadan who was throwing a flirtatious look at him, He almost spurted blood: "I, Hiruma, am here to teach the disciple of an old friend."

This was the excuse Hiruma had already prepared.

It was better to create an unfounded identity that no one could check than to appear inexplicably.

Old friend? As she listened, she couldn't help but think of someone who could befriend this powerful man.

She could only think of a man that has a child here. He was...

"He is Gol D. Roger's friend!"

Within her mind, Curly had no more doubts. Several old friends of Roger, who had roamed the Grand Line, were as abnormal as they could be.

Moreover, this man actually possessed Conqueror's Haki, so he was definitely not an ordinary person.

"Senior, you've finally come! In that case, I'll leave Ace to you."

"He's already ten years old now, and although I've developed a strong bond with him over these ten years, since you're here, even if I'm reluctant, I have to let him leave with you."

"If you want to compensate me, you don't have to give too many berries. Just..."

Hiruma's head was shaking left and right. "Who said I was going to take him away? I'm just going to teach him here for a while. Prepare a room for me. I need to rest. Also, don't tell him my identity. Just say that I'm a teacher hired specifically to train him."

Naturally, Curly dared not object. She quickly kicked one of her subordinates who had fainted back to consciousness and then busied him to prepare a room for Hiruma.

"Phew~ Although I couldn't get rid of that annoying brat, it's good that someone is here to discipline him. It's still a good thing."

She was actually quite pleased. They were bandits, after all, notorious ones who committed all sorts of evil deeds. Spending their days here watching over a child was really not their cup of tea.

Besides, she was still a single woman, and it was time to think about her own future.

"Wait a minute! They? Isn't it just Ace alone? Where did 'they' come from?"

Although she felt strange, she didn't pay much attention and thought that Hiruma had misspoken.
