One Piece: Almost Exposed That I Am Stronger Than Roger - Chapter 3
Chapter 3: I, Solo, an Actor King
Luffy’s facial features sink deeply, his neck quickly retracted to normal size, a mouthful of blood spewed out of his mouth, his feet left the ground, and flew upside down.
All the navies were dumbfounded and fell silent.
He watched Luffy’s body draw a parabola in the air, fell heavily to the ground, rolled his eyes white, and passed out on the spot!
This pirate who was chased and intercepted by them all the way, but could do nothing—was instantly knocked by Solo.
“Officer Solo, defeated the Straw Hat Boy?”
For a moment, all the navies gathered looked at Solo in unison, their eyes full of disbelief.
“What’s the situation?!”
“Luffy was directly knocked by me!?”
Noticing everyone’s eyes and the fainted Luffy, Solo’s brain paused for 0.36 seconds before responding.
He frowned quickly, squeezed his facial features together, put on a painful expression, kicked his feet hard, and made his body draw a parabola in mid-air, hitting the cloth stall behind him.
Boom!
“Officer Solo!”
Seeing this, Petty Officer Katz immediately roared, leaving Luffy alone as he hurriedly ran to Solo.
A portion of the navy followed closely behind.
They have been with Solo for more than nine years.
It has always been clear that Solo is a good civil worker, and his force value is not as good as that of an ordinary navy.
Now seeing Solo flying upside down like a kite with a broken string, they are also very worried.
However, this scene also caused an uproar.
“Hey, you’re lying, Officer Solo, have defeated the Straw Hat Boy?”
“I must have hallucinations. How could Officer Solo be the opponent of the Straw Hat Boy? He is the pirate who defeated the Fish-man Pirate, Arlong!”
These sailors knew nothing about the name Arlong.
And Luffy, who defeated him, also won a bounty of 30 million Berry.
It is enough to show that Luffy is powerful.
In addition, Luffy turned Loguetown upside down and proved that he is a dangerous person.
The police and navies he defeated were countless.
Such a strong man was actually defeated by Solo?!
“Officer Solo!”
Soon, a navy noticed Solo lying in the pile of cloth, and took three steps in parallel to check his condition.
Other navies followed suit.
“Officer Solo, are you okay?” Katz asked about Solo’s physical condition with concern and quickly helped him up.
“Officer Solo, what’s going on here?”
However, more navies are curious about how Solo knocked Luffy in a flash.
On the contrary, Solo had a black line on his face.
‘Luffy, is he that weak? It shouldn’t be. He is the protagonist.’
Solo glanced at Luffy as he got up.
With his eyes turned white, he was lying sprawled in the center of the street, with blood splattered from the corners of his mouth and face, he really passed out.
It attracted the civilians on the street to come and watch.
“As expected of the Navy, they finally caught this pirate who was making trouble in Logueown!”
“Thanks to Officer Solo!”
The people in Loguetown recognized Solo one after another and began to shout his name.
Such an unexpected scene made Solo scratch his head.
According to his plan, he just wanted to knock Luffy out.
Because Solo, who is a traverser, knows very well…
Although Luffy hasn’t grown up yet, his father, Dragon, is now in Loguetown!
And his bounty is as high as five billion or more. He is the most dangerous terrorist in the world!
Once he gets involved with that kind of guy, he will definitely be in big trouble!
After all…
‘I can’t fight Dragon!’
“Speaking of which, “One Piece” is not an anime with a counterattack from the tail of the crane(1). When Luffy went to sea, his strength was one of the best in East Blue, and he even defeated Shichibukai Crocodile in Alabasta. ”
“And I only used 10% of my strength for that punch just now…”
Solo couldn’t help complaining in his heart.
“This guy isn’t he too weak…”
Noticing that the sky is getting darker and darker, the image of Dragon can’t help appearing in Solo’s mind.
Luffy was knocked out by him, he will definitely not sit idly by.
It’s safer to leave as soon as possible before things get serious.
As for his strength—
“Being able to defeat the Straw Hat Boy was entirely out of luck. Didn’t Captain Smoker fight Luffy before? In addition, you all have hunted down Luffy all the way, and his physical strength has been exhausted. I’m just—the straw that broke the camel’s back.” Solo explained to the navies who are present.
He defeated Luffy, not because of his strength, but by luck.
“So, the credit for arresting the Straw Hat Boy this time is by no means my own, but belongs to all the navies and police in Loguetown!” Solo said righteously!
And these words made the navies present couldn’t help but be startled.
In fact, many of the navies standing here are not newcomers, especially Petty Officer Katz.
Before he came to Loguetown, he had seen too many naval superiors take credit for their subordinates and blame their subordinates for being the prime reason for the mission being astray.
A superior like Solo who distributes credit to everyone is simply rare!
If it wasn’t for his too-weak strength, with his brilliance, he would definitely leave his own legend on this sea!
However, the biggest regret is here. Solo has been weak and sick since he was a child, lacking the most critical conditions for survival in the sea—strength!
Every time he thinks of this, Katz feels pity.
If possible, he wants to share his power with Solo.
“Okay, don’t worry about me for now, this level of injury, it’s not going to be a big deal.”
Seeing everyone surrounding him, Solo had no choice but to issue orders as a Master Chief Petty Officer.
“Hurry up and take the Straw Hat Boy back. In any case, he is a pirate with a bounty of 30 million Berry. Once he wakes up on the way, with your strength, you can’t deal with him at all. Contact Captain Smoker immediately. With such a strong pirate, only Captain Smoker can deal with him!” Solo emphasized seriously.
“Us?” Katz couldn’t help but be startled.
“Hehe.” Solo smiled wryly, holding his arm with one hand, “I really want to be with you too, but I was also injured by his punch just now, and I need to get checked as soon as possible. And, Petty Officer Katz, I am not the one who arrested the Straw Hat Boy, but all the navy Loguetown. I believe that you can handle this matter properly!”
Solo chose to trust Katz and others without hesitation, which deeply moved the navies present.
“I understand, Officer Solo!”
Katz turned around directly, made a gesture, and ordered everyone to take Luffy away.
However, just when Solo thought that this turmoil could come to an end and he could go home and rest.
Not far away came a tall man in a green raincoat.
The storm also became more violent.
Boom!
A thunderbolt suddenly fell from the sky, and the dazzling light reflected the man’s facial features.
The tattoo printed on the left face makes every navy’s heart tense.
“That guy is…”
“Why, why did that man appear in Loguetown?”
Petty Officer Katz’s eyes were wide open, he felt that two mountains were pressing on him, and even the most basic breathing felt difficult.
Immediately afterward, a powerful aura crushed Katz.
Every navy’s legs feel as if they were rooted and sprouted on the ground. They were so scared that their legs trembled, but they couldn’t even turn around and run away!
Although the civilians present did not know who the visitor was, they could feel that the atmosphere was becoming weird from the reaction of the navy.

counterattack from the tail of the crane – means he’s weak
