One Piece's Life
Chapter 469 Hogan’s Grocery Store
, One Piece's Life is Long Seen
Long before Rondak arrived, a figure sitting leisurely on the sofa had a premonition. The man was wearing dark goggles and black sandals. When he heard Rondak's response, he wasn't too angry. "Really? It seems that asking you to deal with those guys is a bit forced."
"Londak, you came just in time. I have something I need you to do. The door has been opened for you. Come in quickly."
When the figure put down the juice in his hand, he noticed a slight movement in a certain room. He knew that the diminutive leader was about to wake up. After making some calculations in his mind, Mr. Baker in Rondak's mouth continued to drink juice leisurely.
As the door of the mansion slowly opened, Rondak, who was in a complicated mood, was distressed. Fortunately, the flintlock hanging on his waist reminded him, so he strode through the door. There are five buildings in this mansion, and this time Rondak went to the second building on the left.
Before he arrived at the designated place, he had many plans in his mind. He didn't expect that guy Baker to be so easy to talk to this time. Could it be that he has changed his temper?
Speaking of which, that guy (Yonain) is really strong. If it's 1 on 1, it would be very difficult to defeat him, but it's not impossible!
Alas, how great would it be if he was the only strong person on that ship? Forget it, luckily I made the right choice at the time. Before I knew their details, it was best not to have too big a conflict with them.
Fortunately, there were zero casualties in this operation. If all my subordinates were killed in the sea, then I cannot bear the responsibility! Of course, this is just a trivial matter. If I disappoint Lady Bonnie, then I will really be doomed!
Speaking of which, since I got off the ship, why are all the guys who have been following me secretly so nervous? Are the forces behind them plotting something?
Well are they planning to rebel against us? Probably not? After all, our leader is quite powerful and can easily kill restless guys without leaving his residence.
If the leader didn't like killing, maybe he would have ruled the entire Arms Island! Humph, I have long disliked those guys. If they really have evil intentions towards us, what do I want to do with all this?
Baker, just let you brat be proud for a while longer. One day I will surpass you. I believe this day will come soon. I hope your weaknesses will not be discovered by me too early!
Although I am older, I still have room to grow! Beck, if you, a brat, hadn't obtained the power of the Devil Fruit, how could I not defeat you?
Hum, the fourth spot in the Black Umbrella Pirates will be mine sooner or later! Wait, put this kind of thing aside for now, I have to report that matter to the leader quickly, and of course Lady Bonnie.
When Rondak walked into the hall, a sunny and cheerful young man was looking at him. After Rondak, who had done a good job on the surface, closed the door, he quickly said respectfully, "Thank you, Mr. Baker, for not pursuing my fault! I have something important to discuss with the leader. Where is he? Could it be!"
"As you thought, our captain is still sleeping. Rondak, seeing that you are tired, you might as well sit down and rest first. As for the matter I just mentioned to you, it is not very urgent. , you should read this report first and then make a decision."
There were more than a dozen documents placed on the table. When the reserved Rondak came closer, he replied seriously with confidence, "Mr. Baker, please rest assured, I promise to complete this matter!"
"Hey, Rondak, you haven't even read it yet, why did you take this matter first? I like your attitude very much, but you are too perfunctory, right? Let's take a look first!"
After Rondak bent down to pick up the document, an old scanned photo came into view. Since it was difficult to understand for a while, Rondak stepped aside knowingly and decided to look at other information first.
Hogan's Grocery Store, as early as more than ten years ago, this store had stood on this not-so-prosperous street. At that time, there were only a few outsiders on the island, and Arms Island was just an ordinary island.
However, one day nine years ago, Arms Island underwent tremendous changes under the operation of a mysterious person. The fact that this island is so prosperous today is mainly due to this mysterious man. However, apart from the title of "Father of Arms Island", little is known about the mysterious man's true identity, but there are many rumors about him.
After nine years of changes, stores all over Arms Island have been acquired or taken over. This grocery store, which is not in a very good location, has not changed owners yet. It is the only long-established store in this block.
Regarding this grocery store, the four major forces have paid attention to it, but no matter how they investigated, they all came to the same conclusion. It was just an ordinary grocery store, and there was nothing worth paying attention to.
Yes, this is really just a grocery store. The products sold in the store are basically sold in other major stores. There is nothing special about them.
At this moment, Klaus, who was chatting away in various ways, looked at the old man sitting firmly at the counter from time to time. This old man had a bald head and was slightly bigger. He was wearing a loose top, hanging eyes, and reading glasses. He seemed to be a little dementia. After Klaus's patient questioning, he learned that the other party's name was Hogan.
Seeing Mickey still tinkering with a pair of telescopes, Klaus, who was holding his chin, asked curiously, "Midge, do you really plan to buy this pair of binoculars?"
After Mickey nodded slightly, she tentatively asked with a smile, "Boss (Dana), what is the furthest distance this telescope can see?"
Old Hogan, who was slow to react, said gently, "This little guest, you have very good eyesight. The telescope in your hand is a collector's edition from my shop! As for the farthest distance you can see, let me think about it." .”
"I thought about it, it can at least allow you to see things five thousand meters away. As for the further distance, I have to discover it slowly, little guest. Well, you have been looking at it for so long, you might as well try it outside. Let’s try it.”
Sure enough, when Mickey appeared on the street with a shaver, after some experience, she found that the telescope in her hand also had many weird functions. However, in order to successfully buy the telescope, she did not return to the counter. Showing too much joy "This pair of telescopes is okay, boss, how many Baileys does it need?"
Seeing that Mickey liked the telescope very much, Old Hogan rolled his eyes and said casually, "This pair of telescopes, the original price is 100 million Baileys."
Perhaps Mickey had a deep understanding that even if the other party shouted out 300 million Baileys, she would still buy it. For this reason, she pretended to be happy and replied, "Oh? This is the first time I have seen such an expensive telescope. I hope it is worth it." The price. Hee hee, isn’t it just 100 million Baileys? Klaus, pay it quickly.”
Just when Klaus was about to open the black box, Old Hogan shook his head slightly: "This little guest, you are so generous, but why didn't you wait for me to finish what I said? This pair of telescopes is indeed a treasure in the store, but if you let it If you put it in the store, it will probably be buried.”
"Little guest, I see that you are not going to bargain, so I will charge you 50,000 beli for this pair of telescopes. I believe you can afford it, right?"
Mickey was afraid that the shopkeeper would regret it, so she quickly put the binoculars into her arms. But Mickey is not just interested in this item, for this reason she is looking at the products one by one with her vicious eyes.
After realizing that the followers were still there not far outside the store, she stopped paying attention and said with a smile, "I like this pair of binoculars very much, thank you boss! Klaus, you heard it, so why are you still dawdling?" ?”
Klaus, who was distracted for a while, did not dare to neglect any more. After he neatly took out 5 banknotes with a face value of 5 Baileys (Skeleton Yuji), he quickly handed them over with both hands, "Grandpa, here are Baileys, please." Keep it!"
Seeing Klaus being so polite, Old Hogan nodded slightly and put Bailey into the cabinet in a hurry. But just when he was about to immerse himself in reading the newspaper, Gray in the hall said enthusiastically, "Boss, thank you for preparing this for us." You bought so much tea. Now that we have nowhere to go for the time being, can you allow us to stay at your place for a while?"
In the hall, four people were sitting in front of a small square table. There was a coffee table and a pot of brewed tea on the table. After Old Hogan squinted at the hall not far away, he nodded in an approachable manner and said, "Of course, please help yourself. Judging from your dress, I guess you are not locals, right? Are you planning to buy some on Arms Island?" Is it a special product? Or are you here to do business? No, it doesn’t look like it.”
At this time, Klaus, who was guarding the black box, said with a smile, "Grandpa, don't guess. We just arrived here today, and we are completely unfamiliar with the situation here. Grandpa, listening to what you just said, you seem to be familiar with Eminem." We know the situation on Si Island very well, so can you tell us about it?”
Looking at the young people in the hall, old Hogan smiled slightly when he saw Klaus's very good attitude, "Really? I didn't expect that there would be pure adventurers like you in this era! Alas, more than 20 years ago, adventurers But there are many, but in the past ten years, adventurers have become very rare."
"Well, this may be one of the changes brought about by the changing times! My little guest, I always feel that the record pointer you are wearing is not genuine. Are you really a navigator?"
Old Hogan's words stopped Mickey, who was about to walk to the hall, and at the same time her smile faded. "Oh? I didn't expect the boss to have such a good eye. Yes, it's just a decoration."
As soon as he finished speaking, there was a recording pointer on the center of Mickey's left hand. Except that the pointer was silent (it was storing the Arms Island magnetic force), it was exactly the same as the one Mickey was wearing.
What Old Hogan said just now made her very confused. Even Gray and the others didn't notice it. How did the old man see it? Could it be that because the items are sold in large quantities, you can naturally tell the difference?
Just when Mickey was about to explain the difference between the two record pointers, a childish voice came into her ears, "Grandpa, I just saw an interesting big brother come to the store. I want to meet him. He is still in the store." In?"
Not long after, a small figure walked out of the stairs leading to the second floor. The short purple-haired girl looked curiously at Mickey in front of the counter.
