Rick's voice rang out. As he spoke, he took a necklace off his neck and waved it in front of Luffy.
"You, this is mine."
said the father.
“I…I…I used to be the most cowardly one, all I did was cry. This was a gift from my mother, meant to help me become independent. It’s a treasure that can inspire your courage.”
Luffy took the documents Rick handed him and said: (ccaf)
"Then, Rick, you should accept it!"
This was the first time he had addressed Rick by his full name.
"Luffy, straw hat."
"Besides, I have this hat too."
"Huh?" Luffy was taken aback.
"Do you want to come together?"
Luffy's gaze fell on Rick.
“Of course!” Regner smiled.
Rick put the necklace back around his neck. It was a man's face, a pirate's face.
"Straw Hat, you can't let his arrow hit you. This is no ordinary arrow."
Brief said something to Luffy.
“Uncle…” George looked completely bewildered.
“Use the tunnel I dug! Rick and I will protect you. You take the opportunity to rush towards Lily Carnation. The Baron’s power comes from that eerie flower.”
Once Lily Carnation is knocked down, the Baron will drop his bow and arrows. This is a tactic.
"Wait, wait! I won't allow you to take my child there!"
The father grabbed Rick's arm to stop him from speaking.
“I know what you think of your own child.”
Brief said to her father, "I understand."
"??"
"Parents care for their children more than anything else. But they also need to have enough courage to face themselves! You can't stop them."
“You…” George was taken aback.
"Moreover, in his mind there is only one person, his father, who will never become an excellent pirate."
Brif offered this advice.
"..."
“If you’re a father, you should stop him in front of your child. That’s one way to deal with children. But now, our need for Rick is growing!”
"Thanks, Dad."
Rick said, "I understand."
"Huh?" Luffy was taken aback.
"There was always food placed in front of my mother's grave."
"Rosa."
The father held Rick's hand and slowly let go.
"Dad, I'm leaving now! I need to protect our parents!"
“You…” George was taken aback.
"Mom's there. Besides, I also want to tell her not to worry about us."
Chapter 275: Escape! Straw Hat!
The father looked at his child, wondering how he had grown up.
"Before the war begins. You, the guy in the straw hat! Remember, you are not alone. You have companions. You have so many friends, and I am no exception."
Brif pressed his index finger against the tip of his nose.
"That uncle with the thick beard."
"This is our greeting, and also—our blessing to you."
Seeing this, Rick imitated him and raised a finger.
salute!
Just then, with a loud bang, the door to one of the rooms was blasted open.
The entire basement was shaking.
"The King of the Wild?"
Brief nodded. "I understand." He must be searching for Luffy who had escaped, relentlessly attacking with exploding arrows. The trembling of the ground continued. A powerful blast of air rushed into the passageway, violently lifting the door open.
“Let’s go!” George said calmly.
Luffy made up his mind and rushed straight out of the passage.
Luffy escaped, and Baron Carnival flew into a rage, firing wildly at the surrounding ground.
"Straw hat, where are you?"
The baron fired wildly at everything inside the cave, much like a hunter would use smoke to blast a hare out of the cave while hunting it.
A man's figure emerged from the massive vortex of the explosion.
It was his signature straw hat.
"..."
Monkey D. Luffy has once again arrived at the place where that strange flower is.
What he had to do was save his companions.

He wants to defeat himself.
The Baron looked at Luffy, a smile playing on his lips, and drew his bowstring again.
Lily Carnation transformed into a red arrow, like an arrow that had absorbed the blood of all the pirates, and shot towards Luffy.
Baron the Revelers was like a hunter catching his prey, shooting arrow after arrow.
But Luffy's steps did not falter at all, and he continued forward.
"Huh?" Chen Feng was taken aback.
Seeing Luffy's serious expression, even the Baron couldn't help but shiver.
It's time to finish this. A murderous glint flashed in the Lord of Revelry's eyes, and a deadly arrow was shot out.
This arrow ignited Luffy's counterattack.
Luffy dodged the attack with a sidestep, and the arrow exploded on the ground. Luffy stomped on the ground and immediately fired another arrow. The boulder shattered into pieces as if hit by a cannonball.
"over there!"
Baron the Revelers grabbed the other end of the explosion and fired an arrow. Unsurprisingly, the arrow struck him in the head.
"Hehehe! How about it?" "What?"
Just as the Baron was about to feel relieved, the smoke cleared, and Luffy's body was gone.
"Over there?" Chen Zhao asked.
Baron the Revelers turned and fired another arrow; this time, his hat fell to the ground.
Baron the Revelers was completely stunned by what he saw.
It turned out to be just a scarecrow that Brief had sprouted from the ground. He'd been fooled. Looking back, the figure he'd been hit was, unmistakably, a human. It was Rick, wearing a straw hat.
