"Welcome, you want to rent Blue, right? How many people are there in total?" The manager was sitting at the front desk with a newspaper in his hand. When he heard Luffy's voice, he looked over and said.

"4!" Luffy pointed with his fingers and said with a smile.

The store manager stood up, dragged out two small boats from the warehouse at the back, and introduced enthusiastically: "What kind of bluefish do you want? We have swordfish, conch shark, and kingfish!! For four people, two swordfish are enough!"

They are all fish. It turns out that Bulu is edible!

Hearing the store manager's words, Luffy felt his stomach was a little empty, his mouth was drooling, and he politely requested: "Then please grill them to taste better!"

"what are you guys saying!"

As soon as Nami and the other two came in, they heard Luffy's order. They learned from Dazai what Blue was and looked panicked. Usopp immediately covered Luffy's mouth and explained awkwardly: "Sorry, sorry, we just got here, and he doesn't know what Blue is yet!"

The store manager's frown finally relaxed, and a smile appeared on his face again: "So this is your first time here? That's amazing, no wonder you didn't know what Bulu is! Hahaha——"

I thought he was here to cause trouble!

Usopp and Nami continued to laugh awkwardly.

"To put it simply, that's Bulu. Swordfish Bulu are everywhere on the streets. Swordfish are fish that swim with their heads out of the water. There are many of them in this area because this is a water city, so there are more waterways than land. For the residents here, Bulu is an indispensable means of transportation in life."

“The same goes for people who travel to this island!”

So, renting a Blu is a good deal.

The store manager would not let go of any order and would explain everything to them carefully.

I know this. I just saw so many people riding on water beasts.

But how to control the direction?

"Will the fish pull the boat forward?" Nami asked.

The store manager looked at Nami and continued, "Rather than pulling, it's more like carrying people on their backs, just like a horse on land, similar to a horse-drawn carriage!"

The store manager gave a vivid example, and Nami stopped asking questions.

"There's a fish pond here!" Seeing that the order was about to be won, the store manager diligently placed the boat that had just been towed from the warehouse on the water, fixed it, and turned back to recommend it to Luffy and the others: "Come on! Try it, it's very comfortable! You can rent two double-seater swordfish Blu, the total cost is 2000 Baileys."

It’s a good deal!

The store manager's subtext flashed by.

Luffy went to the Bruza base and looked at the swordfish Bru below through the railing: "There are so many!"

A swordfish named Blue saw Luffy and swam over curiously.

"So cute! It looks like a horse." Luffy stared at the swordfish Blue's big eyes and praised.

Swordfish Blue understood what Luffy said and happily licked Luffy with his wet tongue, making Luffy's head wet.

Luffy was so angry that he jumped up and down, cursing, "You bastard!"

The store manager looked back at the interaction between the man and the beast and said, "Oh! It seems like it likes you very much! Then choose this one!"

Swordfish Blue successfully defeated his fellow competitors and became Luffy and his crew's official Blue.

After the store manager led Blue forward and skillfully put a rope on it, Luffy came over carrying the sack of gold and asked, "Can it carry heavy things?"

"It's very strong, it can even move house!" The manager explained with a smile. He glanced at the things in Luffy's hand and estimated the weight. It should be able to do it.

"This is the luggage, what's in it?"

"gold!"

Gold? The store manager laughed: "Hahahaha - you are really humorous. It doesn't matter what it is."

Seeing that the store manager didn't believe him, Luffy opened the sack and showed it to him: "Look!"

The store manager's eyes flashed with dazzling golden light.

The store manager's calm face collapsed, his eyes almost glued to his face, and he shouted, "I want it!"

Nami directly attacked the store manager with a knife and said speechlessly: "Who will give it to you!"

Usopp laughed happily beside him: "This uncle is very direct!"

Dazai Osamu also smiled and gave the store manager a thumbs up, which was very direct.

Nami was even more furious and kept slapping Luffy on the back, her eyes blazing with anger: "Don't show it to others so easily, you scared me!!"

Luffy sighed, confused, "Why? It's nothing to lose by looking?"

The store manager had a fake smile on his face. He spread his hands and said to the easy-going Luffy, "So, two Blu's are worth 10 Baileys!"

"Why did the price go up, uncle!!!"

Usopp said he saw through it!

You must be kidding!

The store manager still only charged me 2000 Baileys, which was a bit of a pity.

loss! loss!

Nami asked him directly where the nearest place to exchange cash was?

"That's a lot, but with so much gold, I'm afraid the cash in the store won't be enough. You'd better go directly to the central street of the shipyard!"

The kind-hearted store manager was afraid that Luffy and his friends would take the wrong road, so he went to great lengths to give Nami a map that was more detailed and systematic than Granny Kokoro's.

"Thanks, uncle, let's go! Swordfish!"

The swordfish exhaled a breath of hot air from its nostrils, raised its head and sang: "Li——"

"Thank you for your patronage! Be careful on your way!!!"

"Thanks for the map, too, uncle!"
