Smoker suddenly woke up and saw an unfamiliar ceiling.
It's not that strange, it seems to be from a warship.
"You're awake, Captain Smoker."
Smoker glanced at Tashigi who was standing by, half sat up, looked down at the bandages wrapped around his body, and said, "Why am I on a warship?"
At the end of his memory, he should have fallen into a coma after fighting with Sager.
"The Straw Hat Pirates' doctor saved you and handed you over to us." Tashigi pursed her lips and said.
Smoker was silent for a moment, then he touched his body, and then found a cigar on the bedside cabinet. He lit it and took a deep breath. The smoke brewed in his mouth and was slowly exhaled.
"Straw hat?"
He got up from the bed, opened the door, and walked up the stairs to the deck. The first thing he saw was the stars and the bright moon like a lamp. The moonlight illuminated the sea and also covered the port city of Narohara with a layer of silver.
"The Straw Hat Pirates have evacuated, and the Scourge Pirates are still staying in this city. We found their pirate ship, but there are quite a few people stationed there. Should we attack?" Tashigi followed behind and said hesitantly.
He hesitated not because of fear of natural disasters, but
"Didn't you stop it before?" Smoker said in a deep voice.
"yes"
Tashigi lowered her head, her hair falling down, covering her eyes.
She clenched her fists and said, "We tried to stop it before, but failed."
The navy she led to chase the Straw Hat Pirates was defeated by the Straw Hat Pirates as well as the 'Demon' Ajin and the 'Iron Wall' Palu. But the strange thing is that they were saved by the Straw Hat Pirates, at least Colonel Smoker was saved.
"Then don't waste your men's lives. Attacking the ship won't help you capture that 'natural disaster'."
Smoker bit his cigar and looked at the row of round-spired buildings in the city ahead. One of the taller buildings in particular was brightly lit and flashing with dazzling lights. After looking at it for a long time, he could still faintly hear the lively cheers coming from there.
"That guy is not something that we can handle with the hundred or so people we brought with us, and..."
He has more important things to do than natural disasters.
In a daze, he seemed to be being treated by someone, and he also heard some words,
"What do you think?" Smoker asked.
"Colonel Smoker, the natural disaster is indeed severe. We should call for support." said Tashigi.
"It's nothing of the sort. Besides, we were AWOL. There was no call for backup."
Smoker shook his head and said, "You should have heard it too. I remember it, about Princess Vivi and Alabasta."
"yes!"
Tashigi stood still, "I heard it!"
She heard it more clearly than Smoker, and knew about Alabasta, the dancing powder, and
Crocodile!
...
In a certain entertainment venue in Narohara, there were loud drums and firecrackers. But there was no such thing.
In the huge hall, more than a hundred people were acting wildly, laughing loudly with wine glasses in hand, drinking with the people next to them from time to time, or waiting with their mouths open to be fed by the dancers who served them.
Each of them had a table filled with Alabasta-specific food, and was served by a scantily clad dancer.
In the center of the hall, a group of dancers stood up to the rhythm of the music and danced a very Alabasta style dance.
At the top, there was a huge dining table, which was filled with not only food from Alabasta, but also the delicacies made by Marika in the borrowed kitchen.
Sager sat at the top without moving, and around him was a row of dancers with good figures and looks, serving him one by one.
He picked up the wooden wine glass, asked the dancer to pour a glass of wine, and waved it towards the hall, laughing, "Young men, liven up the atmosphere!"
"oh!!"
The men raised their glasses and cheered for Sager.
Sager's men found a good place, so he generously booked the entire place, asked someone to get the wine he had booked earlier, and started the banquet.
Whatever delicious food, drinks and fun things there are, just go for it, and the main thing is that you have no shortage of money!
If you have money, you have to enjoy it. He became a rich local landlord to enjoy it, not to bury his money in the ground.
Of course there are dancers in Alabasta, and there are even shops selling dancers' clothes. Sager is willing to spend money, and even if a shop doesn't have that many dancers, he will ask the owner to find other shops and get the dancers for him.
We must make a grand show!
There is
no end to the extravagance, the grand show, the delicacies, and the money!
Endless singing and dancing, endless wealth, endless prosperity, and endless years of glory!
"This is what I want!"
Sager drank another glass of wine and devoured the food in front of him like a whale, digesting it instantly.
We fought two battles in a row, especially against Ace, where I used Life Return to heal him. He would also get hungry, so this kind of move could only be used unscrupulously when there was energy.
After he mastered the art of life return, his appetite increased significantly compared to before. Apart from the factors of cultivation, he also deliberately stored some food for use in healing his wounds during battle.
Life Return and Life Return are different. He doesn't know about other people, but he can use this move skillfully until he breaks through the realm he has always envisioned.
"It's still too early."
Sager shook hands and didn't care anymore. He laughed at everyone: "Young men, even if you get drunk tonight, you have to drink for me. No one is allowed to leave until you fall down. Hahahahaha!"
"Captain, we won't fall!" The pirates below laughed.
Lily was also sitting at the huge dining table, elegantly cutting a piece of steak and putting it into her mouth. Then she took a sip of the drink beside her and turned her head to ask, "Sager, what do we do after we stay here for two days?"
"Lily, you are not allowed to discuss matters with me during the banquet. If there is anything more important than the banquet, let's talk about it after the banquet!"
Sager waved at Lily, hugged a dancer and asked her to pour him wine, looking unbridled and arrogant.
Pirates are such creatures, and Sager is very dedicated.
Except for some issues of principle, he would do everything a pirate should do!
"Ah, this noodle tastes great."
Marika, on the other side of the table, took a bite of noodles and exclaimed in surprise.
Near her, Renetia kept holding food in her hands. While she was eating, she stared at Lily and Marika's magnificent breasts and slender waists, and said angrily:
"I'll eat! I'll eat! After I finish eating, my breast will grow big too!"
Although the dancers have good figures, they are still far behind these two, especially Lily.
Damn, I don't know how she grew to this proportion!
She will use these two people as motivation and eat like crazy!
"Hey, the wine is gone, pour another glass!"
After Sager finished a glass of wine, the dancers waiting around him hesitated to move. They slammed their glasses on the table and shouted, "Don't slack off!"
The dancers didn't move, they all looked at their center, their eyes filled with astonishment and a bit of awe.
At this moment, Lily stood up instantly and grasped the hilt of the sword.
Marika paused in grabbing the noodles and grabbed the chair next to her with her backhand.
While eating, Renetia turned her head to look behind Sager and said unhappily, "Who are you?"
"Very happy, Norton Sager." A voice came from behind Sage.
Sager didn't stop moving. He picked up the fork, picked up a piece of meat, took a big bite, and chewed it up with the bones.
"Don't spoil my fun, Crocodile."
