Chapter 7
Those marines also complained to Luffy.
They said how they were oppressed by Monka and how unwilling they were. In short, they attacked Luffy and others not on purpose, but because they had no choice.
In fact, during the battle just now, Luffy and Zoro had already noticed that there was something wrong with this team, and there was no blood at all.
Although they were also afraid, it was the marine colonel Monka who made them afraid.
So when Monka died, they surrendered directly.
Xia Chen didn’t care about so much, and walked towards the navy building, intending to pick up some treasures.
Since he became a pirate, he should do what a pirate should do.
Unfortunately, he was grabbed by Luffy after walking a few steps, “What are you doing? Captain.”
Xia Chen was pulled over by Luffy without any resistance.
He couldn’t even wrestle with him. You have to know that his current physical level is 51 times the average level.
Rubber fruit, so terrifying!
“Let’s go eat, Zoro, you’re so hungry!” Xia Chen saw that Zoro had really fainted. According to him, he hadn’t eaten for three weeks.
The physique of people in the One Piece world is really outrageous.
“Just go, I know where the restaurant is.” Xia Chen said and continued to walk towards the small building.
But he was pulled back by Luffy again. He grabbed Zoro with his other hand and dragged him directly out of the courtyard wall.
“Ship… Captain, let me go… I can walk by myself.” Xia Chen was helpless.
In fact, I felt that Luffy had other intentions, that is, he didn’t want me to really go plunder, but since I was his crew member and I didn’t really do anything wrong, he didn’t care about me.
Don’t think that Luffy is really stupid just because he looks silly and careless on the surface. He is just a wise fool.
And although he kept saying that he went to sea as a pirate, what he did was incompatible with normal pirates in this world.
Of course, this refers specifically to the incident before the Impelton Prison.
Luffy didn’t let go of Xia Chen, and dragged him to the restaurant of Lijia’s family.
Luffy and Zoro ate heartily after receiving their warm hospitality, and Xia Chen also ate a lot.
Speaking of which, he hadn’t eaten anything since the morning battle, and his stomach was empty, because the physical properties he had continuously collected made him ignore the feeling of hunger.
As for the taste, it can only be said to be average.
“Xia Chen, where is Coby?” Luffy, who poured a plate of fried rice into his mouth, finally remembered Coby, the poor kid.
“He is watching the ship for us!”
“Oh!” Luffy continued to eat, Zoro looked at the two thoughtfully, and didn’t ask anything. Xia Chen explained a few words.
Traveling with the pirate leader, but vowing to become a navy? !
It’s a bit outrageous, this kid!
Because of the cruel means Xia Chen had shown before, although he killed a Monka from beginning to end, he was not found by the navy as in the original book.
After the three of them finished their meal, when they were leaving, they all turned their heads to look at one end of the street. There were several marines pretending to buy things at a roadside stall.
When he saw their sight, he lowered his head immediately.
But the residents of the town were very enthusiastic. Seeing that they were about to leave, they enthusiastically gave gifts of thanks to Xia Chen and others. The marines did not stop them.
Surrounded by a group of small town residents, the three of them came to the place where the boat was parked before. Luffy looked around and didn’t find the boat they had come to before.
“Where’s the boat? Where’s my big boat?!”
“Oh, here.” Xia Chen gently pushed his palm, and the water surface automatically parted, revealing the single-masted boat that had sunk to the bottom.
“It sank, why did it sink?”
“Captain, who do you think broke the bottom of the boat with his head?” Xia Chen was speechless. Whoever saw this scene would not suspect Luffy.
Luffy clapped his fists, showing a look of sudden enlightenment, and then he looked distressed, “Without a ship, how can we sail?”
“Captain, look over there, aren’t there? We are pirates, can’t we just rob one?” Xia Chen raised his hand and pointed at the large and small ships anchored at the dock.
Zoro narrowed his eyes and said nothing, but quietly clenched the Wado Ichimonji.
“No, we can’t rob!” Luffy’s attitude was very firm, and no one knew what he was insisting on.
Zoro smiled, “Then spend money to buy it? Captain, then take out your treasure!”
Luffy took out his trouser pockets and found only a few pitiful steel coins, a total of 400 Baileys.
They had eaten in the restaurant before, and they didn’t spend money, or Luffy didn’t eat at all.There is no concept of spending money.
This is how the windmill village used to be.
Zoro had a dark face. He had no money either. The money he had before had been plundered by Berumeber.
Then they all looked at Xia Chen, who shrugged.
“Don’t look at me. I haven’t received my salary this month yet, Captain!”
“So, it’s not too late for us to go back now and grab some from their base. It’s all ill-gotten gains anyway.”
There were still 100,000 Baileys in Xia Chen’s warehouse backpack, but he couldn’t spend the money here.
Because he was testing Luffy’s bottom line and tolerance.
Sure enough, Luffy’s first thought was to refuse. After all, his grandfather was a navy.
If his grandfather knew that he had robbed the navy base, he would definitely beat him up. At this thought, he couldn’t help but hug his head, with a faint phantom pain.
Then the three looked at the residents of the town who had gradually become silent.
Facing their gazes, everyone subconsciously dodged, and some even ran away.
You have to know that a ship that can sail in the ocean costs millions of berries.
The small boat that Xia Chen, Luffy, and Coby took before was dismantled from the Alrita pirate ship because of an emergency. It was originally used for landing near the coast.
“What should I do? How can I go to sea without a ship?” Luffy held his head and thought about it for a long time without a good solution. Finally, he looked at Xia Chen fiercely.
“Xia Chen, you are the deputy captain, hurry up and find a way to get a boat!”
Xia Chen rolled his eyes and suggested: “Why don’t you two go wash dishes? As long as you wash fast enough, you can earn 10,000 berries a day. About a year later…”
“No.”
“Xia Chen, right? Believe it or not, I will chop you now.” The two reacted very fiercely, and Zoro even ejected half of the blade.
“Then go rob the navy!” Luffy still refused after repeating the old tune.
Xia Chen felt that the foreshadowing was almost done, so he thought of a compromise and let Luffy grab a navy lieutenant colonel with brown skin.
“What are you going to do? We have already notified Vice Admiral Garp, he will be here soon. You’d better surrender!”
Xia Chen, this little butterfly, finally started to cause a storm.
Luffy was petrified when he heard the name, but Xia Chen grabbed his remaining 400 Baileys.
Xiang Xiang took out another one and stuffed it into his pocket, and slapped the remaining three heavily into the hands of the lieutenant colonel.
“Remember, we are renting, not robbing. That kawaii vice commander is coming, don’t talk nonsense!”
“It’s reasonable to rent your main battleship for 300 days with these 300 Baileys!”
Xia Chen said, and a crazy screaming water gun condensed on his side.
The lieutenant colonel swallowed the rejection that came to his mouth, and his eyelids jumped quickly.
Then Xia Chen brought everyone to the target dock he had set long ago. There was a blue warship that was more than 30 meters long and more than 10 meters high.
“That’s it. Hey, there are people who volunteer to guard the warship for you. Take my shot!”
