Pirates: The Steady and Responsible Person in the Straw Hats

Since Luffy was still missing, the Straw Hats had to put their assassination plan on hold and could only enter the bustling downtown, waiting for Luffy, who had the full level of troublemaking ability, to show up on his own initiative.

The streets, which are full of exotic charm, are bustling with people.

From the stalls on both sides of the street, greetings from various voices came.

The surrounding business owners spread blankets on the ground, smiling happily and greeting the customers who were attracted by the products and stopped to watch.

Yuri, who was dressed in a white robe and a white turban, with his signature blue hair wrapped in it, curiously looked at everything new around him.

‘I always feel so backward’

Yuri was a little speechless about this sales method of setting up stalls on the ground.

This primitive way of hawking always made him feel like he was in an ancient human market.

...

"Brother, is this your first time in Alabasta?" A middle-aged man who looked like a profiteer and wore a blue round hat stopped a young man with an orange satchel and a naked upper body.

"Why, it's a golden apple." The middle-aged man raised the golden apple in his hand, with a hint of cunning flashing in his eyes as he looked at the young man in front of him who looked like an outsider.

As if he was worried about being heard by others, he whispered to the young man: "Let me tell you, this is the secret treasure I found in the ancient ruins. Just one bite of this dreamy golden apple can live for thousands of years."

"I'm sorry, I'm not interested in living for thousands of years." The young man wearing an orange cowboy hat had a pair of bright eyes hidden by the brim of the hat.

"As long as I can survive today."

After the young man finished speaking, he ignored the unscrupulous merchant who continued to deceive him, and left with his bag.

There is a dark purple skull tattooed on the young man's back, and there is a white beard like a crescent moon on the skull's mouth.

‘Damn it, young people nowadays are really hard to deceive’

The middle-aged man was a little discouraged, but he did not give up. He looked around at the passers-by with shrewd eyes, looking for the next target.

"Golden Apple!"

"Can live for thousands of years!"

Chopper and Usopp, who had transformed into human forms, looked at the apples in the hands of the merchant in shock.

When they passed by just now, they heard this merchant quietly selling such expensive dream apples to customers.

The man who left was not interested in this. Was he a fool?

You know, you can live for thousands of years if you eat it.

The merchant looked at the two young men in front of him in astonishment. He did not expect that there would be idiots who came to his door.

‘It seems it’s not that young people are hard to deceive, it’s that the man just now was too shrewd’

"That's right, you can really live for a thousand years after taking one bite, and it only costs one thousand beli."

As the merchant said this, he was about to step forward and continue to deceive the two "idiots" who believed him to be true. When he saw a figure appearing behind the two idiots in front of him.

'dong dong'

"Are you idiots? This is a lie."

Nami was so angry that she dragged away the idiot duo who were still clamoring for apples.

"We have to find Luffy now. How can we have time for you to play around here?"

"But where did that guy Luffy go?" Zoro, who was following a few people, felt helpless about Luffy's situation of people disappearing at special moments.

"kindness?"

Zoro raised his brows, and out of the corner of his eye he seemed to see a familiar figure that haunted him.

After seeing the true face of the owner who was arguing with the merchant, his expression changed.

"Oh no, it's that woman again!"

'Why is she here?'

Zoro rubbed his head with a headache. He didn't expect that he would meet him again in this place.

...

'These two idiots'

Yuri, who was chewing an apple on the side, glanced speechlessly at his two companions who were almost deceived.

Then he looked deeply at the figure in the distance who disappeared around the corner and had a skull tattoo behind him.

'Ace'

‘I didn’t expect we would meet so soon’

Yuri suddenly looked forward to what the other person's expression would be when he saw that he had joined his brother Luffy's pirate group.

After all, I had rejected his invitations to join the team several times.

"Huh? Zoro, what's wrong with you?" He found Zoro cowering in a corner, with a rare nervous expression on his face. Yuri raised his eyebrows and followed his gaze, with a playful smile flashing in his eyes.

‘Isn’t this the Marine Corporal?’

...

Dasqi was very irritable at this time.

Not only did he encounter unscrupulous merchants selling good knives at high prices on the road, he even failed to complete the task assigned to him by his boss, Colonel Smoker.

Looking at the vigilant shopkeeper in front of him, Dasqi sighed helplessly.

Sure enough, it is really difficult to investigate the pirate who was given a name and even had a lot of influence in this country.

"Corporal Daski, haven't you found out anything about the Straw Hats and that guy?"

At this time, a tall, white-haired man with bare chest and belly, holding a few cigars in his mouth with a stern look in his eyes, casually threw a few 'nobody's' he was carrying on the ground.

"Ah! Colonel Smoker!" Dasqi was startled by the voice behind him. When he found out it was his superior, he breathed a sigh of relief and said with a wry smile on his face: "Colonel, the Straw Hats and the others were not found. News. And I found that the people of this country seemed to be full of respect for that man."

"kindness?"

After listening to Dasqi's report, Smoker glanced at Dasqi with cold eyes. When the other party was so nervous that he broke into a cold sweat, he tugged the corner of his mouth and snorted coldly.

"Sure enough, there is something wrong with this man."

‘A Shichibukai actually became the hero of a country’

‘Then what is our navy?’

‘Sand Crocodile, what are your intentions?’

Smoker blew out a cigarette ring, squinted his cold eyes, and glanced vaguely at the surrounding merchants and customers who were secretly looking at him and others from the corner of his eye, with a sneer in his heart.

Immediately he lowered his head and looked at Dasqi, and said in a deep voice: "I have been checking for so long and there is no news. It seems that there is really a problem in this country. Forget it, let's take it one step at a time."

Smoker said, turning around and continuing as he walked: "As for the Straw Hats, they will definitely show up."

"Let's go look elsewhere."

"Yes! Colonel!" The navy soldiers who were on alert around him responded loudly.

the other end.

"That big man is the Marine Colonel who beat you, Yuri, Luffy and Sanji until they were unable to fight back?!!!"

Usopp, who was hiding in the shadow of the corner, nervously glanced at the white ocean in the distance.

Especially the white-haired man with an outstanding figure and temperament.

"It's scary just to look at it."

Usopp swallowed his saliva and said solemnly.
