Chapter 21: Top Forces On The Sea

"Just let him go like that? He doesn't look like someone who can handle a captain of a pirate group, right?" said Zoro, and he put his hand on the hilt of the sword on his waist.

"I once promised Yasopp that when I go to sea and meet his son, and he has the guts to go to sea, I will invite him on my boat. So, I let him go first and see if he has the guts that his father wants." Luffy replied.

"Yasopp? It's a name I'm very familiar with, as well as the previous Shanks. Luffy, who are they?" asked Nami.

"Huh? You don't know? I thought you should know about those forces at sea." said Luffy with a little surprised.

"Don't look surprised, idiot! After all, I have been studying the knowledge of sailing, so how can I have so much time to remember on other things?" Nami replied. 

"Um... One of the 4 Emperors on the sea [Red-Haired] Shanks, you should know this, right?" said Luffy, and guessed that Nami read a relevant reports in the newspapers.

"Ah, it's him! I remember it! No wonder it sounds familiar, and Yasopp is the sniper on the Red-Haired Pirates ship, right?" After Luffy's reminder, Nami suddenly remembered, but then was very surprised, "Is that guy actually Yasopp's son?"

"Hey, what are you two talking about? What Four Emperors? Shanks? Yasopp?" Zoro asked a series of questions.

Zoro was supposed to be a well-informed bounty hunter, but now Zoro seems to be a completely incompatible bounty hunter.

"You? Forget it... I don't want to talk about it" Nami glanced at Zoro without any intention of explaining it to him.

"Hey, you woman, do you want me to cut you to pieces?" Zoro immediately went mad at Nami's meaningful glance.

Luffy took a bite of the meat, and seeing that Nami really had no intention of explaining, he said, "Since the swordsman has the [World's Greatest Swordsman], then the pirates naturally have it, but the titles are different. Among the pirate groups all over the world, there are only four powerful pirate groups standing at the top of countless pirate groups in the world, known as the [Four Emperors], and these four pirate groups are also closest to [ONEPIECE]." Luffy stopped and glanced at Zoro and continued, "Speaking of which, the current [World's Greatest Swordsman], Dracule Mihawk, a.k.a. [Hawk-Eyes], seems to have a good relationship with Shanks."

"Heh~ if that's the case, it seems that getting on your ship is quite the right choice for me. You will definitely find Shanks in the future, right? Then I will know the whereabouts of Mihawk." Hearing Luffy mention of Hawkeye, Zoro suddenly became interested.

"Although I will go to Shanks, you don't have to wait until then. I heard that Mihawk has appeared in East Blue recently. Maybe we can meet him before going to the Grand Line." Luffy replied.

"Really? That's great! I've long wanted to know how strong the world's strongest swordman is." Zoro said without a slightest fear.

"That will be later. Then let's go! Maybe we can get our ship on that rich house. We can't let an accident happen there." Luffy stood up and said to Zoro and Nami.

"Hey, I've been waiting for your order for a long time. I don't want that guy who brought us here and be killed by others." Zoro grinned and held the sword around his waist. 

"I hope the people in that rich house will give us beri in exchange for our help." Nami said with the beri symbol in her eyes.
