Pirates: The ship's deputy is the biggest supporter of the Straw Hat Pirates

——"What did you say? You dare to sell me a knife of this quality for 200,000 Baileys?"

——"You are simply a fraud!"

——"I'm telling you, do you have a legitimate way of selling patents?"

Upon hearing this, the shop owner immediately provided proof, fearing that the other party would criticize him again.

After seeing the proof, Tashigi didn't dwell on it anymore, but she still advised the other party not to do such things in the future. After that, Tashigi turned to Zoro.

Seeing this, Zoro was so scared that he hid behind a large water tank nearby, then stuck half of his head out to check the situation.

hum-

Seeing that his master was so afraid of a woman, Shura immediately asked, is that woman very strong and scary?

"It's not that she's strong...it's mainly because she looks like an old friend of mine, and to some extent she's really scary." Upon hearing this, Zoro also conveyed the reason to Shura with his mind.

It was noon, the sun was shining brightly... At this moment, Luffy was walking in the desert with the support of a cane.

"No...that's not right. I clearly remember that we were very close to the city. Why didn't we get there for so long?"

Gululu~

As Luffy was thinking, his stomach growled again.

"Ha~... Stomach... Stomach is so hungry... Mouth is so dry."

As he spoke, Luffy took another seven steps forward.

!!!

Finally, he saw the city 500 meters ahead of him. He immediately regained his spirit, sped up and sprinted over.

Some restaurant

At this time, a large group of people gathered outside the restaurant.

"What happened here? Why are there so many people gathered here?" Someone who just passed by asked one of them.

Hearing this, the person being asked turned around and said, "I heard that a guest in the restaurant suddenly died inside."

——"Sudden death! What on earth is going on?"

——"I heard from the people inside that he died suddenly while chatting with his boss."

——"Because the guest said he was a traveler, everyone thought he must have eaten the "desert strawberry" by accident."

(Desert strawberry: a highly poisonous spider that looks like a red strawberry. If a person accidentally eats it, he will die suddenly after a few days and will produce infectious viruses.)

——"Ah!? No wonder."

The young man in the orange hat was clinging to the plate, with the fork in his right hand suspended in the air. It was as if he was really dead, as they said.

Wave~

"You... you cheated!"

While everyone was still watching, the young man suddenly raised his head and scared everyone.

However, two people still walked up to the young man and asked about the situation.

"Are you...are you okay? How are you feeling? Are you okay?"

Hearing this, the young man did not answer, but looked around him in a daze, then picked up the skirt of the woman next to him and wiped the food residue from his mouth.

Tsk——(sound of wiping face)

!!!

"Ah~"

This action caused the girl to leave the restaurant in shame and anger.

Then the young man slowly raised his head and sighed: "It's really a headache. I accidentally fell asleep."

"Ah?!"

"So I just fell asleep! But you're exaggerating. You actually fell asleep while eating and chatting!"

Hearing this, the young man turned his head and looked at everyone, still chewing his food, and said: "What are you guys making so much noise about?"

"Don't you have any idea why we are making such a noise?" Upon hearing this, the three people in the front couldn't help but yell at the young man.

After listening, the young man turned his head back to look at the shop owner. Just when the owner was about to ask the young man what he wanted to ask, the young man put his face on the plate again and fell asleep snoring.

Seeing this, all the people who had gathered in the restaurant left. They thought something had happened, but it turned out that someone just fell asleep.

At this moment, Smoker happened to pass by this restaurant. Seeing so many people coming out of the restaurant, Smoker couldn't help but walk inside.

At this time, the freckled young man in the store had eaten and drunk his fill and was now picking his teeth with a toothpick.

After eating, it's time to get down to business. Thinking of this, the young man took out a bounty from his pocket and put it on the table: "Boss, I have something to ask you. Have you seen such a pirate wearing a straw hat come to this city?"

Just as the shop owner was still wondering whether he had seen Luffy, a voice came from the door, interrupting the owner's thoughts.

"You are so bold that you dare to eat in public... Captain of the Second Division of the Whitebeard Pirates... Portgas D. Ace."

Hearing this, the shop owner's eyes widened in shock, his mouth trembling slightly: "White... Whitebeard Pirates!"

The hotel guests around were also looking at the young man named Ace in surprise. They found it hard to believe that this silly guy who could suddenly fall asleep while eating could be a member of the Whitebeard Pirates.

However, after everyone carefully looked at the Whitebeard logo on Ace's back, they were convinced, and then everyone started discussing Ace.

Smoker just stood quietly at the door of the store, looked at Ace with cold eyes, and said lightly: "What on earth do you want to do in this country as a famous pirate like you?"

Hearing this, Ace first took a sip of wine slowly, then turned around and looked at Smoker who was standing at the door: "I'm looking for someone, looking for my... Ou Doudou."

The street in front of the restaurant

Luffy was running quickly on the street, his eyes quickly scanning whether there were any restaurants nearby: "Food! I want to eat!!! Food!!!"

Luffy quickly locked onto the restaurant, then sped up and ran towards it. Fortunately, pedestrians did not walk in the middle, otherwise they would have been blown away by Luffy in this state.

Inside the restaurant, Ace was facing Smoker with a smile on his face.

Ace leaned against the table, looking at Smoker who was also looking at him with a smile on his face: "So, what do you want me to do?"

Hearing this, Smoker replied calmly: "Just be arrested by me."

——"I'm sorry, I deny your request."

——"Well, that's true. I'm currently hunting down other pirates... To be honest, I'm not interested in your head."

"That……"

"Even so, I'm a navy, how can I not catch pirates!" Just when Ace was about to say something, Smoker suddenly changed the subject and continued, while he was speaking, his right hand turned into smoke.

Seeing this, Ace was also ready. As long as the opponent attacked, he would counterattack immediately. Ace's mouth corners rose again: "Then I will play with you first, hey."
