The bandage spirit becomes a spirit! Luffy and the others are surprised!

"Listen carefully, after collecting supplies in Rogue Town today, we will go directly to the Grand Line. Don't cause trouble! After all, we all have a bounty." Nami said earnestly to Luffy and his group of troublesome guys.

After several days of sailing, Luffy and his crew arrived at Rogue Town, the last leg of their journey to the East China Sea, and they were about to embark on the Grand Line.

"Dazai!" Nami called out Dazai Osamu.

"Smoker, the ambassador stationed in Rogue Town, has a Nature-type Devil Fruit, the Smoke Fruit. His means of attack are unknown and his physical damage is low. When he was stationed in Rogue Town, the frequency of East China Sea pirates entering the Grand Line was at its lowest. He plays the role of a gatekeeper!" Dazai Osamu pushed up his plain glasses, staring at the active Luffy and his crew.

Usopp swallowed, knelt on the ground, and nodded desperately to show that he understood.

Luffy looked around in a state of disarray, and it was obvious that he didn't hear what was said.

"I'm looking forward to it!" Luffy looked at the dock in the distance, his eyes shining, "The burial place of Pirate King Roger!"

Zoro touched the only knife left at his waist and said nothing.

"Yes! Nami-san~" Sanji looked at Nami's decision with starry eyes. Seeing Zoro's indifferent look beside him, he kicked him, "Asshole! Listen to Miss Nami!"

Zoro bent backwards to avoid it, cursing "Asshole!", and then started fighting with Zoro as usual.

Luffy and his crew’s main task at the moment is to collect supplies in Rogue Town and then leave quietly without attracting Smoker’s attention.

"Disband!"

"Zoro, take Dazai with you!" Nami gave a few simple instructions and quickly dispersed. For safety reasons (Dazai's safety), this time Zoro took Dazai with him and kept an eye on his behavior.

"What a hassle!" Zoro smoothed his hair and glanced at Dazai Osamu who was pretending to be a good boy. "I know!"

"What~" Dazai Osamu sat on the ground like a deflated balloon, looking at Nami with an innocent face.

Nami doesn't buy it.

In the end, Dazai Osamu had no choice but to accept this special treatment.

*****

"Wow~" Dazai Osamu looked at the discounted bandages displayed outside the store with stars in his eyes. He felt excited. He turned his head and looked at Zoro who was yawning.

"Dazai, pay for it yourself!" Zoro said calmly. Dazai pouted and immediately entered the store excitedly with a bunch of bandages in his arms. He paid the bill while the clerk was grinning from ear to ear.

When Dazai Osamu came out with a big bag of bandages, Zoro was entangled with a short-haired girl outside the store.

"What's wrong?" Dazai Osamu came forward with interest, glanced at the broken glasses in Zoro's hand, looked at Zoro's strange expression, touched his chin, and seemed to be thinking about something.

"If you don't have money, pay with your labor!" the girl, Tashigi, suggested to Zoro.

Zoro pressed his forehead with a headache, turned around and looked at Dazai Osamu who was watching the show, "Dazai, do you have money?"

Dazai Osamu looked at Tashigi, a navy man, thought for a moment, and replied with a smile, "I have no money left after buying the bandages! Hey~" Then he tapped himself to act cute.

Zoro:......

Zoro was taken away by the girl. Dazai Osamu wanted to run away, but was forcibly dragged by Zoro and naturally came to the naval base.

"Well, cleaning these up will cost you money!" Tashigi took out a broom from the corner and handed it to Zoro, then turned around and left.

Zoro stared at the broom in his hand, speechless. He turned to look at Dazai Osamu who was watching the show nearby, and motioned him to help him with the work.

"Don't look at me!" Dazai covered his face with his hands and glanced at Zoro through his fingers. "Besides, you won't work so honestly!"

While Zoro was sweeping the floor perfunctorily, Dazai Osamu looked at the sailors patrolling around and had some expectations in his mind that he wanted to get explanations.

"Zoro, do me a favor!" Dazai dropped the bag, leaned against the wall with practiced skill, messed up his clothes, got some blood on his body, pointed at Zoro, and shouted, "There are pirates sneaking in!"

“Where!” The marines swarmed over following the sound. Looking at Zoro who looked obviously unhappy, a marine who remembered Zoro shouted, “It’s the pirate hunter Nonoroa Zoro, the bounty is 1500 million berries!”

The soldiers rushed forward with swords and knives.

Taking advantage of the chaos, Dazai Osamu blended into the shadows and quietly walked into the naval base.

"I'll wait for you at the sword shop!" Zoro watched Dazai Osamu leave, picked up two brooms beside him, assumed the three-sword style stance, and said.

Because of Zoro's exposure, most of the navy stationed at the naval base rushed over. Now it is almost an empty shell. The further Dazai Osamu went inside, the fewer people there were.

Fortunately, Smoker got out.

Dazai Osamu observed the movements and found no high-end military force appeared.

Dazai Osamu stood in the blind spot of the camera and slipped into the office.

This office seemed to belong to Smoker. There were many cigarette butts in the ashtray on the table and the air was thick with smoke. There were some confidential documents on the table and a bookshelf next to it.

Dazai Osamu quickly browsed the book and looked around carefully. He found some good stuff.

Dazai Osamu closed the book, quickly cleaned up his traces, left the room, and retreated before the patrol soldiers returned.

*****

"Ding-ling-ling——" Zoro came out with Starkey beside him, "I bought a good sword."

Dazai Osamu leaned against the wall with his arms folded.

"I'm lucky today!" Zoro's mouth curled up, he was in a good mood.

"Your bandage!" Zoro picked up the bag and threw it at Dazai's feet. Dazai picked it up and followed Zoro, but Shidaqi did not follow.

"Is that someone you know?" Dazai Osamu glanced at Sidachi and said.

"No, the person I knew has passed away. This one just looks very similar." Zoro pursed his lips and said. The two came to the corner stairs and sat down to rest.

"Zoro, do you know Haki?" Dazai Osamu sat on the steps, looking at the sky empty.

"Haki?" Zoro looked at the shiny and bright sword, "I seem to have some impression of it!"

Dazai Osamu pointed his finger to the sky, his eyes fixed on the sunlight shining through his fingers, "Learning Haki is a big step towards becoming a swordsman."

Zoro's eyes became sharp. New power?

Dazai Osamu jumped down the stairs, put his hands behind his back, and turned his back to Zoro, "Haki, the power of the new world, the next lesson."

"Dazai! Zoro!" Luffy waved and shouted loudly from a distance, then he stretched out his hand and took a step in front of the two of them.

"Luffy, do you want to eat?" Dazai Osamu's serious expression disappeared and he asked Luffy with a smile.

"Gurgle--" Luffy touched his empty stomach and the back of his head and laughed.

*****

"Luffy, did you go to see the execution platform?" Dazai Osamu asked, looking at Luffy whose belly was full from eating so much.

Luffy patted his belly and said with a smile, "I'm lost!" Dazai understood, it seemed that he had not found the place yet.

Zoro had experienced a lot today. He was even tricked by Dazai Osamu into having a group fight with the navy. He was already starving.

"Luffy, do you have money?" Zoro asked, touching his full stomach with satisfaction.

"No!" Luffy answered naturally. Zoro was a little upset and looked at Luffy speechlessly, "You have no money and you still eat! What should I do, eat a free meal?" Zoro grabbed Luffy's collar and shook him, making Luffy dizzy.

"I have money~" Dazai Osamu supported his chin, stirring the coffee in his hand, watching happily, took out a purse from his arms, pushed it towards Zoro, interrupting Zoro's action.

Zoro turned his head stiffly and looked at the money on the table, thinking back to when he asked Dazai for money and he said he had none, and the subsequent actions. He knew in his heart that all this was arranged by Dazai. He clenched his fingers into fists and made a crackling sound, staring at Dazai fiercely.

Dazai Osamu drank his coffee unaffected, smiled slightly, and looked at Zoro with calm eyes.

"This won't happen again!" Zoro dropped Luffy, who fell directly onto the chair, touching his dizzy head.

At this time, a wallet fell from the sky onto Luffy's straw hat. Luffy reached out and touched it. Bailey said happily, "Dazai, someone is treating us to a meal!"

"Then you should go and thank the other person~" Dazai Osamu looked at the figure next to him who was covered in a coat, and his eyes darkened for a moment.

Luffy paid the bill, came to the man in black, patted him on the shoulder, and thanked him generously, "Thank you for treating us to dinner!"

Zoro and Dazai Osamu followed closely to express their gratitude, and they left the restaurant after having a full meal and a drink.

While walking on the road, Dazai stopped and looked at the black-clad people who were hurrying over from behind, constantly calling out to Luffy and the others. Dazai said to Luffy and the others, "Then I will go back to the Merry first, and I will leave the rest to you!"

"Oh! See you later~" Luffy clenched his fists, looked at the crowd surrounding him, and replied to Dazai Osamu.

A figure flashed by Dazai Osamu's side. He quickly picked up a gun and shot accurately at the people in front of him. He quickly left the scene and started his journey back with bandages and supplies.

*****

"It's raining~" Dazai Osamu stretched out his hand, looked at the cold rain hitting the palm of his hand, leaned against the railing, looked down, and saw his old rival Mochi and his master struggling to strike a match.

"Do you need help~"

"Thank you~" Mochi looked up at the direction of the voice and saw Dazai Osamu pointing a gun at him.

Mochi and Lion were startled, and the two of them hugged each other and trembled as they looked at Dazai Osamu who was looking down and sneering.

"Dazai!" Nami and Usopp came back with a lot of bags, and looked at the serious Dazai Osamu with emotion.

"Can you please make way?" Dazai Osamu asked Mochi.

"No, the captain ordered me to burn your ship!" Mochi bravely refused.

"Bang——" The bullet shot at Moqi's feet. Moqi hugged himself tremblingly, turned sideways flatteringly, bowed and bent down, "Please come in——"

Nami and the other person hurriedly boarded the boat.

The navy officers behind had also caught up and were shooting at the ship with guns. The unfortunate Mochi kept dodging.

"Quick! Start the ship." Nami commanded Usopp, and the Merry started moving.

Dazai Osamu smoothed his wet bangs and stared at the dark dock.

Zoro and Sanji kept fighting off the crowd that was rushing over. There were too many marines, and no matter how strong the two of them were, they couldn't sleep alone. Usopp watched anxiously and jumped off the boat and swam on the sea to provide support.

"It's windy." Dazai Osamu felt that the wind atmosphere was wrong. A tornado swept through Rogue Town, and Luffy jumped out.

The sailors were all carried away by the wind, and the Merry was getting farther and farther away from the dock.

"Luffy!" Nami shouted loudly. Luffy looked at Merry who was going away, grabbed the fallen steel bars with his hand, and catapulted himself. Following the inertia, he aimed in the direction and catapulted Sanji, Zoro, and Usopp at the dock onto the canvas and landed on the deck.

Smoker smoked a pipe and watched the Straw Hat Pirates leave in the direction of the rainstorm. Was even God helping them?

All members of the Straw Hat Pirates escaped.
