Chapter 383: Mysterious Man, Smoker, Tashimi
"Anyway... Have any of you seen that Luffy guy?"
"Nope. β
"Nope..."
"Nope!"
"So it seems..."
"Where's Luffy?" Nami scratched her head in annoyance, "Ah~~~ that stupid!"
"That's good! Anyway, now everyone is wearing civilian clothes, let's go look in the streets!"
"No problem. Sanji Usopp and Chopper nodded.
Kirby, dressed in a dancer costume and a medieval dress, stayed put.
...
On the other side, on the noisy street.
A mysterious figure with a small green backpack appears on the street.
The upper half of his body was undressed, revealing wheat-colored muscles, simple travel boots, a funny hat with a crying and laughing pattern, red beads inlaid in the brim, a string around his neck, a musket hanging from his waist, an orange belt, a loose loop, a small skull with horns on his chest, and a cross with a white-bearded human head tattooed on his back.
"Yo, little brother, haven't I seen you, is it the first time I've come to Alabastan?"
The merchant with the golden apple in his hand saw the man, beckoned to him, and handed out the things in his hand.
"Well, let's take a look at this!"
"It's a golden apple!"
The man did not squint and was about to walk over, when the old merchant stopped in front of him.
"Oh!"
The merchant pulled the man over and whispered in his ear:
"I'll tell you privately, this is a terrifying treasure I found when I was young and infiltrated the ancient ruins!"
"It's a dream golden apple that can live for a thousand years just by eating one bite!"
"I'm sorry. β
The freckled man smiled at the merchant, waving his hand boredly, and the rope that hung from the brim of his hat swayed.
"I'm not interested in living for a thousand years, as long as I can survive today~"
"Well... Ahh
The merchant was about to persuade him, but the man was gone.
"Huh!" the merchant clenched his fists in hatred.
It seems that there are really not many fools these days.
"Uh... Two of you?"
The merchant was just about to close the stall and leave, when he noticed two strange creatures staring at the apple in his hand.
Chopper: "Golden apple?!"
Usopp: "Can live for a thousand years?!"
Merchant: "......"
I've never seen anything like this.
"Was it really found in an ancient ruin!"
"When... Of course it's true...", the merchant said, wiping the non-existent sweat from his forehead and puffing out his chest.
"It's a legacy of an ancient civilization!"
"You can live for a thousand years with one bite?!"
"Yes, yes, that's right!" the merchant nodded.
[I'm about to believe what I said.] γ
"Really, really!"
"You've got a lot of vision, guest!"
"That's... How much is that!"
"Ahh
"1,000 Bailey?"
"Is it only 1000 Bailey!!
"Bought it, bought it!"
The two danced hand in hand, and hurriedly wanted to pay for it.
"I say, you two guys!!"
Nami suddenly appeared behind the two of them, one of them gave a fist, and dragged one person and one deer out.
"What the hell are you thinking!
"It's obviously a lie!"
"Hey, let go of me, you guy!"
"Let's go find Luffy first! Don't worry about it anymore! Everything is gone, and when everyone is ready, we will go straight to the next city. β
Zoro: "Speaking of which, where the hell did that guy go?"
As he spoke, Zoro suddenly stopped, his eyes wide open and looked at the divination booth to the side.
"That guy..."
"What's wrong, Zoro?" Nami leaned over strangely, only to see a strange man with an orange hat and a bare upper body leaning over a divination booth.
"I want to inquire, have you ever seen this person?" The man took out a bounty slip and put it in front of the old woman, and the wrinkled old woman raised her glasses, squinted and said:
"Monchi M. D. Luffy?"
"Well, he may have come to this city, I've been looking for him for a while. The man said to the old woman.
"I haven't seen it..."The old woman shook her head vigorously, and touched the thick leather book with one hand, "Oh, by the way, if you want to find someone, go to the restaurant in front of you and ask for it, the boss there has a wide range of personnel." β
"Thank you then!" the man leaned over to the old woman, Weiwei, and turned around.
"Restaurant... It just so happened that I was hungry too. β
With that, the man walked to the lively restaurant without looking back.
...
Chopper: "Who is that guy, it looks like he's strong." β
Usopp: "Why are you looking for Luffy?"
Nami: "Do you want to earn a bounty?"
"No, I don't see it. Zoro frowned, staring at the man's back, "That sign..."
Everyone: "Huh?"
"That sign, as a pirate hunter, I can't be unaware..."Zoro muttered, and was about to tell everyone the meaning of the sign behind the man, when his eyes suddenly paused, but he saw a familiar figure.
"That man... Could it be..."
The girl wore a short bright blue-purple haircut, a simple shirt and hot pants, and a long knife hanging from her waist, haggling with a knife merchant on the street.
"No, this kind of knife is actually sold for 200,000 Bailey!" The woman held the booklet in her hand, compared it vigorously, and found that the knife in her hand did not belong to any famous knife, but was just being sold indiscriminately in the name of a famous knife.
"It's a fraud!" the girl looked angry, her dark purple frame caressing and stroking, staring at the merchant's face.
"Do you have a license?!"
"I... I didn't say it was genuine..."
"But the name of this knife is exactly the same as the famous knife!"
"It's... Thisβ" The merchant was so anxious that his face was pulled together.
"That's... 100,000, how about 100,000?"
"Don't do that again!" the girl ignored the merchant and simply put the knife back in its place, "I'm just collecting famous knives, and I can't let them fall into the wrong hands." β
"Got it?"
"Oh... Oh..."The merchant nodded in confusion and shrunk his neck weakly.
Zoro confirmed on the side that this guy was the guy who chased after him before, and he was more afraid than the merchant.
"What are you doing, Zoro, why are you hiding?" Usopp looked strange as he saw Zoro shrink into the pile of goods beside him.
"It's definitely not good to get involved with that woman!" Zoro muttered to himself, staring in the direction of the woman, and everyone looked over with them, only to see another familiar shadow.
"Smoker?!"
...
"Hey, Tashimi. Smoker shouted to the girl, carrying two fainted men on his shoulders.
"What's the matter, Colonel Smoker?" the girl looked back and gave the man a surprised look.
"They..."
"Yes. β
The man threw the two of them to the ground and took a sharp drag on their cigars.
"It's a pirate thug. β
"Dare to be rude in front of me, I cleaned it up by the way. Smoker gestured to the two hapless men who had fainted on the ground.
"Ahh
"If you have time to talk nonsense, it is better to hand them over to the king's army of this country. β
"It's... Yes!" the girl was stunned and immediately straightened up.
"For the time being, there is no news that Straw Hat Luffy has landed in this country, and so is that mysterious person, and it is not yet possible to confirm whether she is in league with Straw Hat, so don't let your guard down. β
"Yes!
"Remember, if you meet that mysterious woman, you must retreat immediately, understand?"
"Smoker... Colonel?"
"I don't want innocent casualties. The man said with a heavy face, leaving a broad back, and beckoned back:
"Don't let your guard down, sooner or later they will appear in this country. β
"So be it, go your separate ways. β
"Yes!
