Chapter 256 Decision

Under everyone's puzzled eyes, Usopp waved a piece of paper in his hand and ran over with an excited look.

"What are you talking about, kid?" Looking at Usopp who ran over, the foreman directly scolded, "We don't have any pirates here, you kid, don't brag again, be careful of getting caught!"

However.

Facing the foreman's scolding, Usopp did not calm down, and still said excitedly, "I didn't lie this time!" He held his head high, his long nose tilted up at a 45-degree angle, waving the paper in his hand, "As long as you pass the exam, the East China Sea Navy will never stop pirates from entering the Grand Line again. This is the new pirate rule of the East China Sea Navy."

As soon as these words fell.

"?!!"

Except for Luffy who was still eating, everyone else was stunned.

New pirate rule?

What is this guy talking about?

"Impossible!" The foreman came to his senses first and scolded, "What nonsense are you talking about here? It's okay to brag at ordinary times, but now you dare to brag about this? Aren't you afraid of being caught?"

"That's right, Usopp, you can't say these words casually!" Belmeber nodded seriously and said, "You will really be caught!"

"Otherwise..." Zoro also smiled grimly and half-pulled out his sword, "Let's catch him!"

"This time, I didn't lie, I really didn't lie!" Seeing the scene in front of him, Usopp suddenly became anxious and shook the paper in his hand, "This is the new rule issued by the East China Sea Navy!"

As he said, he stuffed the paper in his hand into Belmeber's hand.

"Really, if you don't believe it, you can see it yourself!"

"???"

Seeing Usopp's serious look, Belmeber also took the note in confusion, and then the other three curiously came up and looked at it directly.

After a moment...

"Damn, it's really true!"

"Didn't we hear that they were catching pirates everywhere some time ago? Zoro, what does your senior want to do now?"

"Don't know? Could this be someone else's doing?"

"Belmeber, what is this?"

Except for Luffy, the other three people's eyes widened immediately.

"I've said I'm not lying!" Seeing the four people's expressions, Usopp proudly raised his thumb and scratched his nose again, "This is the news that I finally got! How is it? I didn't lie to you!"

"I didn't lie, but this new pirate rule..." Belmeber looked at the document in his hand speechlessly and said, "You have to take an exam to become a pirate? What's the purpose? Will anyone really listen?"

"Forget it, it doesn't matter. Anyway, I just want to hone my kendo." Zoro glanced at it. Although he was shocked, he ignored it after reading it. "You can ask Luffy! This kid wants to be a pirate."

"Yes, I am the man who wants to be the Pirate King!"

"Then will you take the exam?" Hearing Luffy's words, Belmeber also shook the document in his hand and said to Luffy , "You can only become a pirate after passing the exam?"

"Why? Can't you become a pirate as long as you go out to sea?"

"Who made the rule above? Now pirates in the East China Sea can only become pirates after passing the exam and get the opportunity to enter the Grand Line. Otherwise, the East China Sea Navy will directly arrest the pirates!"

"Hmm~" Luffy immediately folded his arms, frowned, and pursed his lips in thought, "So? Why do I have to take the exam? I want to go out to sea to pursue freedom and become the man of the Pirate King!"

"I said, how could there be a pirate who would take the exam." Belmeber complained unhappily, and then looked at it carefully again, "What exactly does the East China Sea Navy want to do? Is there any hidden purpose?"

As he said, he looked carefully several times, but he couldn't tell what the East China Sea Navy wanted to do.

"Hey, there's more on the back?"

As if he had discovered something, Belmeber turned over the back, frowned, and muttered, "The first 100 pirate groups to register can enjoy a 15% discount on the purchase of ships. At the same time, if the funds are insufficient, after review... loans are allowed."

"If you order a ship now, not only will you get a free navigation system independently developed by the East China Sea Navy, but you can also win a new climate warning device in a lottery to escort you on dangerous sea voyages!"

"Giant ship arms, equip your ship with arms to make your ship easier to move. If you want a robot, equip your ship with a robot arm! - General Franky."

"Orange wine..."

"What the hell is this?" Belmeber looked at the document in his hand speechlessly, "They are actually advertising on it?"

The words fell.

As if sensing something, he looked up and was startled when he saw Luffy, who was stretching his neck and looking over the document in his hand with his eyes shining. "Luffy, what are you doing?"

"Let's go sign up!"

"???"

Before Belmeber, who was confused by Luffy's shout, could say anything.

"There is a ship! And a robot!" Luffy took the paper and looked at the handsome ship on it. "This ship is so handsome! Can I get this ship for free if I sign up?"

"Where is it for free? Buy! Yes, buy! But there is a discount." Belmeber said unhappily, "Of course, you can also apply for a loan, but I don't know what the requirements are!"

"Is there a discount?" Hearing Belmeber's words, Luffy's face was stunned. Then he seemed to remember something, took off his hat, and took out a wrinkled lump from the hat, which seemed to be soaked in sweat. He raised the paper, grinned, and laughed loudly, "I still have this, Bellmeber, Zoro, Usopp, Foreman, let's go register for the exam together! This way we will definitely be able to buy our own ship." of!"

"If you ask me to be the captain, I will agree!"

"Going to sea? I heard there are many strong men on the sea! I don't care."

"Do you really want to go to sea? Even if the policy has changed, this is only within the East China Sea! Don't you still have to hide and hide outside?"

Just as the three of them were meditating, aside...

"Thank you very much for inviting me, but please spare me! I still have a wife and children!" The foreman looked at Luffy speechlessly, and then looked at the thing he took from Luffy's hand. , "Isn't this the consolation prize in that competition? Luffy, you actually still keep it?"

"Of course I want to buy a pirate ship!"

"Buy a pirate ship? It's just..." The foreman fell silent for a moment, hesitated again, and then said, "This seems to have expired!"

"???"

…

At this time, with the news of new pirate rules in the East China Sea, the pirate circle in the East China Sea is gradually changing.

"Kini, have you decided?"

"Taimei, I have decided, I want to go to the Grand Channel to see it! What about you, Hei Kun?"

"Now that you two have decided, let the three of us sign up together! Let's see who graduates first and enters the Grand Channel."

Countless pirates, like the Straw Hats and the three pirate groups of Black Kun, Gini, and Taimei, decided to sign up, obtain certificates, enter the Grand Waterway, and start a free adventure.

…

And the other side.

The leader of the East China Sea Navy, Xia Che, who promulgated new pirate regulations, was looking at the digital Vegapunk in front of him, with a smile on his face.

A new era for the East China Sea Navy is also coming!
