One Piece: King of Martial Arts

Chapter 44 Neptune arrives in person

"Is that so?" Charlie fell into deep thought after hearing this, and after a moment she said leisurely: "So it's better not to know about the future."

"That's true!" Card Xiu snapped his fingers and said with a smile: "An incomprehensible future will only make people more troubled. It is the right way to witness it with your own eyes."

"Hey, Kemi, can mermaids fly?" In this serious atmosphere, Wang Lufei interrupted with a nonsensical topic.

"Baga! You're just asking irrelevant questions!" Usopp on the side slapped Luffy angrily.

"You rude child!" Charlie also transformed into a demon with teeth and claws, and yelled angrily.

"Yeah -" Usopp was instantly frightened and his hair exploded.

"Luffy, apologize!" Cammy swam over in a hurry.

"I'm sorry!" Usopp raised his hand and touched Luffy, bowing and apologizing together. Only then did Charlie regain her ferocious side.

After taking a puff of cigarette, Charlie looked at Kemi calmly: "Kemi, I'll give you a holiday today. Take your friends out for a walk!"

"Is it really okay?" Cammy looked at Charlie happily.

"Yes, you have worked hard enough recently." Charlie nodded.

"Ah! I forgot to bring clams to Papagu!" After being stunned for a few seconds, Kemi suddenly remembered something.

After hearing this, Charlie thought for a while and said, "Papa Gu? He seems to have said that he met a friend whom he has not seen for a long time and is playing in our store."

"What? In the store?" Cammy tilted her head in surprise.

"Friends reunited after a long separation?" Luffy and Usopp focused on the latter sentence.

"Go and have a look, Luffy, maybe he's one of ours." Kashu, who knew it well, came over.

"Oh, okay." Luffy nodded and waved goodbye: "Then we'll leave first. Thank you for your hospitality, Mrs. Charlie!"

"Goodbye!" Usopp also waved, turned and left here.

As soon as a few people went out, Charlie, who couldn't help but be curious, took a look at Luffy's future.

"Sure enough... from this angle, you can't tell whether he is setting a fire or putting out a fire!" After a moment, Charlie, who saw Luffy in the sea of ​​​​fire, looked back with cold sweat on her forehead.

Fortunately, the previous card repair had laid the groundwork, otherwise, Charlie would definitely go out and yell that Luffy would bring disaster.

"Let's wait and see... Maybe I really thought wrong?" Taking a deep breath, Charlie finally decided not to say anything.

……

"Sure enough, it's him!" As soon as they arrived at the door of the coffee shop, Ka Xiu and others saw Brooke and Papagu coming out hugging each other.

"Hey! Papagu, long time no see!" Luffy waved to Papagu.

"Luffy! Long Nose, I miss you so much! You are really here!" Papagu rushed over excitedly.

"Hahaha..." Luffy caught Papagu and laughed happily.

"Brooke, why are you together?" Usopp looked at Brooke curiously.

"After being washed away, it was Papagu who happened to save me. I'm so lucky! Yo ho ho ho..." Brooke briefly explained the reason.

"Have you seen anyone else?" Ka Xiu asked again knowingly.

"Not yet." Brooke shook his head sadly.

"Everyone, we just happened to go to my house to play together. There is sea animal meat!" Papagu saw that the atmosphere was not right and hurriedly changed the subject.

"Oh! There's meat!" Luffy's attention was instantly diverted.

"Of course! My food is not limited to wakame and shellfish!" Papago turned around and shouted: "Hey! Taxi!"

"Oh, just in time!" Usopp also looked at the taxi.

When they went up, everyone saw Vander Deken's wanted poster again, but they didn't pay much attention to it.

On the way, Luffy and the others learned that this fish-man island has been managed by the Big Mom Pirates, and that mermaids and fish-men are divided into several types.

"This is my home! Hey...you guys!"

When they arrived at Papagu's house, Luffy and the others didn't listen to Papagu's bragging at all, and turned around and ran towards the commercial street.

"Hey! Isn't this Nami? So you are here!"

"Hi! Nami, it's great to see you're okay!"

Later, Luffy and others met Nami in the clothing store.

"Luffy! Kashu!" Nami looked back and suddenly laughed.

"What happened here? I just heard something like an argument!" Papagu then walked in and looked up at the clerk.

"This woman is a bit difficult to deal with! She's so good at bargaining!" the clerk reported in a low voice.

"Nani?" When Nami saw the two of them, she immediately thought of a possibility. She reached out and grabbed Papagu and asked, "Papagu, does this store belong to you?"

"Yes...yes..." Papagu struggled to the ground in pain.

"Then it must be cheaper for me!" Nami confidently crossed her hips.

"What are you talking about!" Papagu waved his hand grandly and said: "The kindness you showed me two years ago was so great that I get all the clothes here for free!"

Nami was overjoyed when she heard this and said, "Really?"

"It's absolutely true!" Papagu nodded solemnly.

"Great!" Nami cheered happily, and looked at Kaxiu and said, "Everyone, take whatever you want. With Kaxiu here, no matter how many things you have, you don't have to worry about not being able to take them!"

"Oh!" Luffy and the others also started shouting, and they spread out and started searching.

A few seconds later, Papagu walked out of the clothing store crying: "I was careless... I accidentally forgot about it..."

While looking at the store, I saw a piece of clothing that Luffy and the others had already plundered... not even the hangers were left.

"Mr. Papagu, look up to the sky, here comes the gentleman!" The clerk outside the door suddenly pointed upward and exclaimed.

"Who is that adult?" Luffy and the others heard the sound and ran out, looking up into the air.

The person who came was none other than King Neptune, who was admired by all the fish!

Amid everyone's shocked comments, Neptune sat on the Whale Hall and walked straight in front of Luffy and others.

"Who is this uncle!" Luffy, who had never seen Neptune before, tilted his head and revealed a question mark: "He seems to be coming for us."

"Don't be rude!" Papagu shouted: "This is the King of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, Lord Neptune!"

It's a pity that Luffy and he are not on the same channel at all. Instead, he pays attention to Neptune's hairstyle and the cute whale Hall.

"Hey, Mekaro, are you sure it's them?" Neptune asked, tilting his head slightly.

Behind him, a skinned shark swam over and nodded sharply.

"Eh? That shark looks familiar!" Usopp stared at the shark.

"It should be the one we saw in the sea before." Nami thought about it.

"Yes! It's wearing clothes!" Usopp suddenly realized.

"Hey! Humans wearing straw hats." After confirming the target, Neptune spoke again.

"Oh?"

"What...what's going on..."

Everyone turned back and looked at Neptune.
