The bar in the centre of Eruma was in shambles after the commotion, littered with tables and chairs of broken glass and chickens and eggs, but there was still a figure sitting at the bar.

The man wore a cowboy hat, pointy shoes, and a revolver pinned to his waist.

He drained the milk from the cup with a clatter, leaving a white beard-like mark on his mouth.

"What kind of stupid plot to lead me to a place where this kind of bird doesn't shit, what are you kidding...... Well? ”

The cowboy heard footsteps, and a huge sense of oppression followed.

He pulled out his revolver with lightning speed and fired a shot in the back without looking back.

"Medium!"

I don't know what gave him this inexplicable confidence, after the shot, he seemed to know that the enemy was dead, coquettishly blew away the smoke from the muzzle, and then put it back on his waist.

"Bullets don't have long eyes, hum, I want to sneak up on me......."

Smack.

Something was placed on the table, and the cowboy couldn't believe his ears and slowly looked away.

Isn't it, isn't thisβ€”isn't this the bullet casing that my revolver just shot?

At some point, there was another person next to him, "Are you looking for this?" It was so dangerous, it almost killed me. ”

The other party did not deny that he was hit, but said, 'Although it was hit, it was not enough to kill me.'

"Impossible...... I 'absolutely' hit you with a bullet just now, and this is a domineering bullet attached! Whether you're a Rokushi or a fruit user, it's impossible to come out unscathed! ”

"So what if I'm capable of more than that? Isn't it different? ”

The cowboy man came to his senses at this time, "I see....... Are you also a player, what's the matter, come here to bully me as a newbie? Okay, okay, as you can see, my plug-in has been easily cracked by you, and now it's helpless, if you want to kill, kill me quickly, anyway, whether it's here or in the real world, it's boring, and I'm tired of playing. ”

"Don't be so negative, it's normal to not be able to beat me, you still have a chance to win the game."

As he spoke, the other party handed two portraits of the cowboy man, and the people on the portraits were a man and a woman, both of whom were dressed as ZF personnel in the world.

The cowboy man took the portrait and looked at it, slightly puzzled, "What do you want me to do?" ”

"Your role in this world is that of a bounty hunter, right? Then go and get rid of these two people for me, they are the murderers of this game. ”

The cowboy man was shocked, "Murderer? The two of them are? Wait, why give me information for nothing? You are so strong that you don't want to go yourself, you want me to die? ”

"Believe in your own strength, go ahead, good luck."

"Hey, wait......."

The other party is like a ghost, and the person disappears as he speaks.

"Weird, is that guy a gamer too? It does look like a character from the One Piece world...... However, his attitude is completely above the player, and he is simply at ease, as if he is really 'playing'. ”

The cowboy turns the portrait upside down, and there are two pieces of life paper attached to the back, one for 'Dale' and the other for 'Specai'.

"Tsk, the trouble is dead." He sat up and lifted his pants, and tightened his belt, "Okay, then let's go and see it, if I can kill the murderer by leapfrogging, I should be able to be directly promoted to the next world, and maybe I can really be rewarded for making any wish come true, hehe...... Just think about it, it's definitely not that easy. ”

And just like that, the somewhat passive and lazy cowboy staggered out of the bar and walked slowly in the direction of the Life Paper.

…… On the other hand, Qin Long and Dale are negotiating with Princess Vivi in the dark alley.

Realizing that there was no way she could get out of their hands, Vivi decided to calm down and listen to what the two had to say.

Then Qin Long told Wei Wei about his and Dale's identities.

Dale was hugging her chest with an unhappy face the whole time, and her toes were beating the floor impatiently, obviously she didn't approve of Qin Long's approach.

Wei Wei was also skeptical after hearing this, "You are a revolutionary army?" I...... I can't just trust you so easily, and isn't the revolutionary army just a bunch of guys who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic? I just want the people of Alabastan to live in peace and security, and not to involve them in fearless wars anymore! ”

"Look, being silly and sweet isn't necessarily a good thing." Dale complained, "Her stubborn heart will definitely be bad, so let's leave her and find another way, don't waste any more time." ”

But Qin Long already had a clever plan in his heart, "No, no, no, don't worry." ”

He approached Wei Wei and squeezed out a sincere expression that he had never shown when he went to work in a bubble tea shop for an interview in his previous life, "Princess, I believe you don't know, the Draconians are now planning to implement a new slave policy in the four seas, and all countries must regularly hand over a large number of citizens as tribute, presumably Alabastan will not be able to escape this catastrophe." ”

"I know that the ship of the Draconians has arrived, and is threatening my father to hand over his people to be their slaves."

Princess Vivi replied, "I will not let them succeed, but I will not put the fate of the country in the hands of the revolutionary army!" I will protect Alabastan, by my strength and that of the people of Alabastan! ”

"Rest assured, princess, we do not intend to drag Alabastan into the war, our mission is to assassinate the radical Draco family that is implementing the new slavery system, without them, the Draconians will not blatantly attack the major alliance countries of the four seas, then Alabastan will be saved, and there is no need to be drawn into the war."

Vivi seemed to be moved, "Really, really? ”

"Truly, we need your help now, Princess, and if you can help us in our mission, then Alabastan's predicament will be solved."

"But, how can I leave the fate of my country in the hands of two strangers......"

"You've given it once, and you've made it in the end, haven't you?"

Wei Wei was a little surprised by Qin Long's words, "Huh? ”

He was referring to...... Luffy them? Why would you know?

Without waiting for Wei Wei to ask, Qin Long answered her by himself, "Tell me the truth, princess, in fact, I am a friend of Straw Hat Luffy, and I heard about you from him. ”

Hearing Luffy's words, Vivi immediately cheered up, "Do you know Luffy?" He, what's going on with him now? ”

"He's fine, he's fighting monsters and leveling up, and in another year, he should go out of the mountains to the New World to kill everywhere."

Vivi breathed a sigh of relief to hear that Luffy, who was injured in the battle on top, was okay.

But she was still reluctant to fully trust Qin Long until Qin Long made a certain move.

Qin Long pointed to his wrist, "Partner's mark, you should still have it." ”

Seeing this scene, Wei Wei suddenly burst into tears for some reason and couldn't see clearly.

"When, of course, how could I wash it off."

As she spoke, she rolled down her sleeves and revealed the black 'X' symbol, "This is Luffy...... How could I have forgotten the memories of everyone! ”

This is a secret mark that is only known to fellow Straw Hat Pirates.

If you can point this out, presumably this man is also Luffy's approved partner, then he must also be a person worth trusting.

Vivi finally decides to open up, but suddenly a gunshot breaks the silence around her.

"Be careful!"

Dale stretched out her arms and used her body to protect Qin Long and Weiwei, who didn't have time to react.

Qin Long immediately turned around, "Dale! Are you alright....... Right? ”

When he saw Dale's chest red, Qin Long was dumbfounded.
