14. Luffy: Lately, I feel like I'm starting to lose my hair a bit!

“System, another ten consecutive draws. This time, I’m betting Luffy’s hair! If I get something good, then Luffy might as well go bald!”

With a scowl, Chu the Overlord felt deeply frustrated. Out of the hundred draws today, he had already spent ninety without obtaining a single useful item.

And so, Chu began to slip into darkness...

He was even prepared to sacrifice Luffy’s hair as an offering.

[Acquired Level 1 Observation Haki]
[Acquired Level 1 Armament Haki]
[Acquired Level 1 Conqueror’s Haki]
[Acquired 3 Random Teleportation Gate Fragments]
[Acquired Feminization Ability]
...

Hiss!

Chu’s scalp tingled uncomfortably.

God, I was just joking—Luffy wouldn’t really go bald, would he?

Then again, maybe I should teach Luffy the One Punch Man legacy?

Imagine that scene:

Luffy, destined to be Pirate King, defeating the Beast Emperor Kaido with a single punch.

Kaido, furious and powerless, roars, “Luffy! How are you so strong?!”

Luffy takes off his straw hat, revealing a gleaming bald head.

“Because I went bald... and got stronger!”

The image was too striking, almost unbearable to witness.

Luffy was always a straightforward, tough guy. If he went bald, would he ever have any luck with the ladies again?

Would he be doomed to a lifetime of loneliness?

But then again, what does Luffy’s love life have to do with me?

As long as I’m not the lonely one, I don’t care.

If Luffy can’t find a wife to carry on his legacy, let Dragon and Garp worry about it.

Even Naruto from the neighboring village already has children, and Luffy remains single—a fate sealed from the start.

I only gave Luffy a little push down the lonely path.

Next, Chu fixed his gaze on a certain bizarre skill.

[Feminization Ability: Everything Can Be Feminized]

Chu muttered, “...”

He felt like he was spiraling deeper and deeper into absurdity, with no way back.

What use is a feminization ability?

Would I feminize my opponent first during a fight, then catch them off guard with a Strength Assay Technique to make them experience the agony of childbirth?

And finally, use Embryo Stare to steal their powers and effortlessly crush them?

Damn it.

I could just rely on my own strength to crush foes—why do I need flashy, ridiculous abilities?

Wouldn’t it be better to have a Super Saiyan bloodline?

Or a Pegasus Meteor Fist, or the Lushan Rising Dragon Strike?

Why give me a feminization ability?!

Feminization + Strength Assay + Embryo Stare—who the hell thought this was a good idea?!

A black line appeared on Chu’s forehead as he said, “System, I advise you to be kind. Are you listening to me?”

From a corner of the dishwashing area, Luffy emerged, clutching a large tuft of jet-black hair.

Usopp was stunned by Luffy’s appearance.

“Luffy, what’s wrong? You look so exhausted!”

Luffy yawned deeply, looking like a sleep-deprived bear cub.

“Maybe I didn’t sleep well. Lately, I’ve been noticing some serious hair loss.”

Chu was speechless.

Luffy’s baldness probably had nothing to do with me.

Maybe. Possibly. Perhaps... that’s how it is?!

“Overlord... what’s wrong with Luffy?” Usopp asked, looking at Chu, whom he regarded as the wisest among the four present.

“Usopp, that’s a very insightful question. Given the current situation, it seems Luffy has prematurely entered middle age.”

“You have to understand, middle-aged men are prone to hair loss and balding.”

Luffy’s eyes widened like copper bells, staring despairingly at Chu.

“No! I don’t want to be bald! Overlord, please help me! I’m going to be the Pirate King! How can the Pirate King be bald?”

Chu shrugged off Luffy’s desperate clinging and said disdainfully, “Luffy, I sympathize with your plight, but you’d better face reality. While you still have hair, take some good photos.”

“Soon enough, your hair will bid you a permanent farewell.”

Luffy flared in frustration, losing his mind instantly.

“Oh no! I don’t want to be bald!”

He stumbled back into the dishwashing area.

Bang!

Luffy accidentally dropped a plate.

Bang!

He dropped another.

Chu shook his head and sighed.

“Ah, poor Luffy. He might need some time to come to terms with the fact that he’s going bald.”

After saying this, Chu fell into deep thought.

Now that Luffy’s hair had been sacrificed, should he use Usopp’s hair as the next offering to the divine spirit?

Somehow, Chu felt he had discovered the proper way to utilize the Straw Hat crew!
