The Merry slowly approached the dock of Rogue Town.
The Straw Hat Pirates came to the bow of the ship.
Looking excitedly at the prosperous scene in front of me, the dock was bustling with people, various goods were being loaded and unloaded, and ships were coming and going, presenting a busy picture.
"Wow–"
"As expected, it's the hometown of the Pirate King."
"It's so lively!"
"After eight days of sailing, we finally arrived at Rogue Town on the Merry!" Luffy raised his fist happily as he looked in front of him, his eyes flashing with anticipation and excitement.
"It's a really good atmosphere here."
"This is next."
"This is the last supply point before we enter the Grand Line. We need to do a big shopping spree this time and buy everything we need."
"You must report anything you need to me."
"Otherwise I won't pay you."
At this time, Nami, who was in charge of most of the money, took out a bulging wallet and lowered her head to say to everyone.
"So that's it."
"I just remembered that there doesn't seem to be much food left on the ship. I'm going to go buy some."
"By the way, bring in some ingredients for brewing wine."
Sanji glanced at Luffy next to him and said.
In just eight days, he ate most of the supplies from Kokoa West Village.
"My words…"
"Just buy the tools and some materials to repair the Merry." Usopp thought for a moment and said seriously.
I was originally thinking of buying some gunpowder.
But when I think about it.
Romantic artillery does not require gunpowder, but relies on the conversion of spiritual energy, so he gave up this idea.
"I'm going to the weapons store to buy two swords." Zoro looked at the Wado Ichimonji on his waist and expressed his thoughts.
"I don't have anything to buy." Luffy tilted his head: "I want to go to the execution platform to take a look."
"All right then."
"I'll give you 10,000 Baileys. Just buy some food on the way and don't starve to death." Nami took out 10,000 Baileys and gave them to Luffy. "And don't forget to meet up with everyone on the ship before the sun sets."
"I know, I know."
Luffy waved his hand and left impatiently.
"These Baileys are yours."
Nami looked at the backs of Zoro and the others as they left, then turned to look at Bai Yu who was yawning: "What about you?"
"I still have a lot of Bailey on me." Bai Yu jumped off the boat and said, "I'm going to take a walk around town. You can go and help me. Don't worry about me."
"You bastard…."
"Forget it." Nami also got off the boat. She was going to go to the clothing store in town to buy some clothes.
at the same time.
When the Straw Hat Pirates and others entered the town.
Only for a short time.
The news that the Straw Hat Pirates, who were well-known in the East China Sea, had landed on the island quickly spread throughout the town.
The Straw Hat Pirates were completely unaware of all this.
In a tavern in Rogue Town.
A man with a grass-green cockscomb, a raven-wing tattoo on his chest, a face like a devil, and playing with a finger bone in his hand was sitting there.
And on the wall behind him.
But it is full of bounty posters of the Straw Hat Pirates.
"Boss!"
At this moment, one of his men pushed open the door in a hurry and rushed in with excitement on his face.
"The Straw Hat Pirates have come to Rogue Town!"
"I saw them with my own eyes. They got off their pirate ship and walked around the town!"
"Um?"
"Are you serious?" The man stood up instantly after hearing this, and he even looked a little excited.
This person is Bartolomeo.
He is a gang leader who controls many towns.
"Is it finally here…"
"Bai Yu!"
Bartolomeo turned and looked at the wall, staring at Bai Yu's bounty poster, one of his hands playing with his finger bones.
The finger bone in his hand was found in the sea by his subordinates at the sea restaurant Barati, where Bai Yu and Hawkeye had fought.
"Take me over there to have a look!"
And on the other side is the naval branch base.
"Colonel Smoker!"
"The Straw Hat Pirates have come to Rogue Town." Tashigi said anxiously as she entered the office, but what was in front of her was not a person, but a white pillar.
"Who are you talking to?"
Smoker took a look and said silently.
This situation.
He was no longer surprised. After all, whenever Dashigi reported mission status to him, she had never targeted him.
"ah?"
"I'm sorry Colonel Smoker."
"I broke my glasses when I was catching pirates today." After hearing this voice, Tashigi knew that she had reported to the wrong person again.
Then he quickly turned around and apologized.
"You saw them?"
"Um."
"I met Roronoa Zoro, a pirate hunter from the Straw Hat Pirates. I was no match for him." Dastard told Smoker everything about his journey to the weapons shop and the process of their fight.
"The Straw Hat Pirates…"
"I didn't expect them to come to Rogue Town where I'm stationed so soon. They were planning to resupply some supplies."
"Ready to enter the Grand Line?"
Smoker frowned as he looked at the bounty in his hand.
"snort!"
"Order all the navy soldiers at the base to quickly locate the Straw Hat Pirates and evacuate the crowd."
"We must not let them enter the Grand Line!"
Smoker snorted coldly, gave orders to Dashigi in front of him, and then set off.
…
Five minutes later.
Bai Yu stood at the intersection, looking expressionlessly at the almost identical alley in front of him.
"That's impossible…"
"I clearly remember walking here before."
As he spoke, Bai Yu fell into self-doubt. Was it because he had been in the Straw Hat Pirates for too long that he had also been infected by Zoro's directionlessness? Or was it because this was his first time here?
Are you not familiar with the road conditions here at all?
"Do you need help?"
A low voice suddenly came from not far behind.
Bai Yu looked back.
A man in a dark green cloak was standing in the shadows, with a strange tattoo on the left side of his face.
After seeing the face of the man opposite him clearly, Bai Yu released his hand from the hilt of the knife and was secretly surprised: "Luffy's father, Dragon, why did he suddenly come to me?"
If he hadn't spoken.
I didn't even notice there was someone standing behind me.
"How do I get to the Central Square?"
Long turned slightly: "It's just on the way."
The two walked through the alley in silence. The sky began to become overcast. Long's voice came again: "Your sword has been stained with too much blood. Don't lose yourself."
"???" Bai Yu was confused after hearing that.
What does this mean.
Why don't you just say it clearly? Why do you have to be a riddle teller? Do you know that this is annoying?
If I couldn't beat him now.
I had to punch him directly in the face.
A few minutes later.
Long brought Bai Yu to the door of an underground bar named Gol D. Roger and pointed not far away and said.
"That's the central square over there."
"See you again if we are lucky."
As he spoke, Long opened the door and entered the bar.
The purpose of his visit this time was to give his son a ride and to visit the young man named Bai Yu.
"Whatever you say is what it is." Bai Yu turned his eyes away from the dragon and looked at the execution platform: "I hope Luffy doesn't make trouble, otherwise it will be very troublesome."
