One Piece: My Shadow Can Hang Up

Makino drove the carriage and waited quietly for the security check at the back, and took in all this.

Seeing this, she was kind-hearted and ran over immediately. She knew the methods of the guards, and it was common to maim or kill them.

Hearing the voice behind him, Moriah's mouth twitched.

Following the sound, she saw a woman dressed as a peasant woman coming forward. Although she was dressed simply, she still couldn't hide her exquisite appearance and proud figure.

Moriah instantly remembered the name and identity of the person in front of him.

Makino, the village flower of Windmill Village, is like a mother to Luffy's three brothers.

Makino walked up and said to the two guards: "My lords, I'm sorry for offending you just now. Here is a little money. I hope you can be lenient."

Makino took out a cloth bag from his pocket, took out a small stack of banknotes, and was about to count them, but was snatched away by one of the guards.

"What do you want to count with just this little money? You're just sending away beggars!" After taking the money away, the guard glared at Moriah: "I'll let you go this time for the sake of money. If you do it again, you'll be in trouble."

They may also know that Moriah is not a fool, but they don't say it, otherwise how can they collect money.

A guard used a long gun to pick up the curtain of the carriage and saw some vegetables and fruits inside. After a simple inspection, he shook his head at his companions.

The four guards gathered together and divided the money they had just received. Seeing that Moriah and Makino were still standing there, they waved their hands impatiently at them: "While we are happy, why don't you get out!"

Makino may come and go here often, but it is obvious that these guards don't care about these. Only money and power can make them submissive.

Seeing Moriah, the big fool standing there, Makino couldn't help but get angry. She was definitely not distressed about the money, absolutely not.

Moriah looked down at the woman, looking her up and down, thinking for a long time.

As Makino muttered, he followed her into the city of the Kingdom of Goa.

"Where are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?" Makino asked Moriah while leading the horse.

Moriah's clothes were not very gorgeous, but were specially designed for fighting. In addition, there was a lot of dust on them, so she looked like a refugee. No wonder Makino made a mistake.

She is really a kind woman! A passerby who only met once was able to help out, and it was herself who was helped out. Moriah couldn't help but feel good about her.

"I helped you, didn't I say thank you?" Makino suspected that the other party was a mute. She was talking all the time, and Moriah didn't say a word.

Did you help? If you didn't help, several guards might have been gone long ago, and I don't know who you were helping.

Moriah still didn't speak, just staring at Makino's face, just staring.

This look made Makino feel a little embarrassed, and he turned his head away quickly.

After observing for half a day, Makino gradually doubted whether the other party was a human. He looked very tall and had horns, which looked quite mysterious.

Seeing that he had entered the city, Moria walked directly along the avenue into the city.

The result.

Before he took two steps, he was stopped by Makino: "Wait, where are you going? I spent all the money to buy wine to save you, and you plan to leave like this?"

Makino was a little angry. Why is this person like this? He doesn't even know the most basic gratitude.

After being said so, Moria thought so too. Just when he was about to take money out of his pocket, he suddenly thought of something and stopped again.

"Seeing that you can't take out the money, why don't you do this? If you don't have money, then you can work hard. When you can leave, I will let you leave." Makino said with her hands on her waist. She was able to run a tavern alone, so she was not a fool. It's okay to suffer a small loss, but it's not okay if it's a big loss.

At this time, her posture was quite like a little capitalist.

Moriah also found it funny and nodded, indicating that he agreed with what she said.

"So you can understand human words!" Seeing him nod, Makino felt better and handed the reins to Moriah: "First, go with me to the vegetable market to sell vegetables, and then go with me to buy wine. Let me make it clear that when the time comes, the barrels will be yours. I don't have money to hire workers anymore."

Moriah looked at a hand reaching out. The palm was not so smooth, and it could even be said to be a little rough. He couldn't help but sigh.

After Moriah nodded, the vegetable market was between the border town and the central street. The civilians of the Kingdom of Goa lived here, while the nobles lived in the deepest high town and the kingdom.

The Kingdom of Goa had a strict hierarchy. The nobles looked down on the civilians, and the civilians looked down on outsiders and refugees.

After Moriah and Makino arrived at the vegetable market, they didn't come early, but they were definitely not too early. At this moment, many stalls had already started selling.

Seeing this scene, Moriah couldn't help but sigh. He didn't expect that he, a pirate with a net worth of hundreds of millions and the legal right to plunder the government, would actually buy vegetables on the street one day.

He secretly said that labor is glorious, and then he calmed down. What's more, there was a beautiful woman to accompany him, so the situation didn't seem too bad.

"What are you doing? Why don't you help unload the goods?" Makino went into the carriage and transported out baskets of crops. Moriah was responsible for moving them to the ground.

Moriah moved half of the car in one trip, which made Makino very happy. This was a blessing in disguise, and Moriah was more pleasing to the eye.

After setting up the stall, Moria had nothing to do so he hid beside Makino, lowering his head. Although most people in the city didn't know him, he still felt a little embarrassed.

He thought he would sell out soon, but Moria's legs were almost numb from squatting there, and he had only sold less than one-tenth of it.

Occasionally, someone would stop in front of the stall, seemingly looking at it, thinking whether to buy it, but was called over by a colleague not far away. After whispering a few words, he was successfully fooled.

Moria's five senses were far superior to those of ordinary people. Although the other party lowered his voice, he could still vaguely hear what the other party said.

The general meaning was that the things Makino sold were not imported, but grown outside the city.

This sentence directly dispelled the man's desire to buy, after all, the first thing that came to mind when mentioning the outside of the city was the garbage station, which was not clean.

Although Moria saw through all this, he did not point it out.

Seeing that the other stalls were about to close, Makino saw it and remembered it in his heart.

But at this moment, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of the stall. Makino was smiling and welcoming them, but he was stunned when he looked up and saw the people coming.

The leader was a middle-aged man, followed by several young people. They looked like hooligans, ruffians, and looked like they deserved a beating.

But they were not hooligans, and each of them had a work permit on his chest.

"Don't come to your stall every Saturday in the future. Pack up your things and move now."

The person who spoke was the leader, who was the manager of this market.

"Well, sir, if I remember correctly, it will take another six months before this stall expires, right?" Makino said humbly.

The administrator did not deny the debt and admitted: "Of course I know this, but the daughter of the third uncle of my sister-in-law's second aunt has a piece of land in her eyes, so I have to give her face."

Makino: "I can give you more money, can you let her go somewhere else?"

"How much can you give?" The administrator did not refuse directly, and there was still room for negotiation.

Just when money was mentioned, Makino suddenly stopped talking. She had no money on her, and she had to exchange the money from selling vegetables for some drinks to run the tavern.

"I don't have any extra money now, can you give me some time?" Makino begged.

"No, only today, I don't care whether you rob, steal, or sell, I just want money." The man spoke arrogantly, so arrogant that Moria couldn't help but slap him twice to send him to see his grandmother.

Moria stood up and walked forward. His height, strong body, and fierce face scared several administrators to retreat one after another.

"What are you doing? You scared me. Do you want to fight?" The administrator took a breath and shouted at Moria with courage.

Moria was about to say something, but was stopped by Makino: "Leave this to me, don't be impulsive!"

She was afraid that Moria would get into trouble because of impulse, so the latter swallowed his words back.

"If we leave this place, can you find another place for us?" Makino stared at the few people and asked.

"We will still deal with reasonable demands. You guys, take this beautiful lady to that place."

Are all the people at the bottom like this? Moria is used to being in a high position. Even if it is not aimed at him at this moment, he feels a little urge to beat people.

The two people loaded the goods again, and finally, under the leadership of several people, the carriage finally stopped at the entrance of an alley.

After that, several administrators laughed and walked away, as if they were laughing.

This place has a lot of traffic, but the geographical location is not good. There is a dead end behind it. The alley is full of garbage, and the smell of rotten vegetable leaves and smelly meat is mixed together, which is disgusting.

Makino turned his head and pinched her thigh hard, trying to suppress the grievance in his heart.

"It's all because of you. I'm so unlucky to meet you." Makino finally said what was in his mind: "I've decided. The store is in need of a guy who can do heavy work. I won't pay you until you pay off the debt you owe me."

Molia thought to himself that you really have a plan, but considering that you have some relationship with him, he didn't refuse.

Changing to a Feng Shui treasure land, naturally there are fewer people buying things. Until it was almost dark, no one patronized, and it was cold and deserted.

Molia was also so angry. This stubborn guy would not close the stall until he sold all the things. He just sat with this guy for a whole day. If he hadn't been considered dumb, he would have started to curse.

"Are you sure it's here? Why are there so few people?"

"I've already inquired in advance. It's here. The very decent hotel is here."

"How decent? Let's make it clear that we won't go to any indecent places!"

"Hahaha!"

Not far away, a group of people walked towards this side, talking and laughing. They looked like gangsters, but they didn't have any ruffian spirit.

Moria looked at it and his expression became strange.

"Huh? I seemed to see the Governor just now..."

"Are you drunk? How could the Governor appear here!"

"That's right, maybe it's a guy who looks a bit like him!"

"Are you talking about the one sitting against the wall at the entrance of the alley? The more I look at him, the more he looks like the Governor himself..."

"Oh, it really is!"

The members of the Moonlight Pirates were stunned at first, and then they became uneasy.

A few people hesitated for a while, but finally lined up and walked over to say hello.

But Moria made a silence gesture to them, indicating that they should not speak.

These people were confused for a while, wondering what kind of role the Governor was in, and why he was going down to the grassroots to experience life.

"Do you want to buy some? It's cheaper to buy now." Seeing so many people suddenly appeared in front of the stall, Maginot immediately greeted.

"No…"

"Cough cough cough..."

Just as they were about to speak, Moria suddenly coughed violently.

When they looked up, they saw Moriah making fun of them.

"Buy, buy, buy!"

With just a small look, someone among them understood what Moria meant.

"Are you crazy? Why do we need so many vegetables? Don't we have a chef responsible for purchasing?" Another person didn't understand.

"You know nothing! We want all of these. How much is the total?"

Hearing this, Maginot took out the tool and planned to weigh it, but the man quickly said: "No, no, no, here is 300,000, it should be enough, if it's not enough, I have more here!"

"Enough, enough, too much, you don't need that much money at all!" Maginot waved her hands quickly.

"If you want what you want, you can keep it for now. I'll come back to buy it next time."

Moria nodded. This guy is quite smart, has good eyesight and has a bright future.

Seeing that she suddenly accepted such a big order, Maginot was a little happy. Suddenly she saw Moriah who was still unmoved and said angrily: "What a piece of wood. Go and help me."

"No, no, we will do it ourselves!"

Hearing this commanding tone, these people were frightened. They didn't know who this woman dressed as a peasant woman was, and she was so disrespectful to the governor.

A few people didn't dare to ask any more questions, and just ran away with their things.

After Maginot got the money, he first checked the authenticity, and then counted it. It was just a lot more, and his eyes turned into crescents with smiles:

"Come on, let's go. It's been a busy day today. I'll take you to dinner."

Moriah curled his lips, the wool comes from the sheep.

After getting this large amount of money, Maginot's unhappiness on this day disappeared instantly. This money was more than what she had lost.

After a not-so-luxurious dinner, it was already getting late, so I had to wait until the next morning to buy drinks.

A hotel in a border town.

"Boss, two rooms." Hearing Maginot's call, the boss looked up at the two of them and put on a smile: "I'm really sorry, there is only one room here now. Why don't you two make do with it? one time?"

Maginot shook his head: "No, let's go look elsewhere."

"I'm sorry, I guess you are not civilians in the city, right? The hotels in this city don't accept outsiders, and only small shops can accept them." The boss said with a smile:

"Do you two want to go look for it?"

"Forget it, just get a room." Maginot said after thinking for a long time.

If it were a normal man, Maginot would never do this, but on this day together, Maginot discovered that the other person seemed not only mute, but also seemed to have some brain problems, giving people a feeling that he was not very smart.

So she wanted to take this stupid guy back, chop wood, boil water, carry goods, and also look after the door in the store, so that she could achieve a win-win situation.

But I didn't expect that all of this was deliberately pretended by Moriah, and only he himself knew the real purpose.

"Miss, you go to the room and take a look first. I have something to talk to this person about," the boss said to Maginot.

"He is mute, how can he talk to you?" Maginot called Moria, but the latter did not follow her upstairs because he knew the shopkeeper had something to say.

Dumb? The shop owner suddenly looked a little unhappy, but he still didn't give up.

After Maginot went upstairs, Moriah lowered his voice and said, "What's the matter?"

The shop owner was stunned when he heard this. Doesn't this mean he is mute? Things are not simple.

"Um...the hotel fee is still two thousand beli." The shopkeeper suddenly said with a smile.

"Huh? Didn't she already pay just now?" Moriah looked confused. Could it be that this is a black shop and they want to raise the price on the ground?

"No, no, no, the hotel fee has been paid, but the service fee has not yet been paid." The shop owner put on a smile and took Moria to a deserted place.

"Service fee? What services were provided? Are you trying to find a reason to ask for money?" Moria's tone became unkind.

"Alas, you can eat randomly but not talk nonsense. We are a serious hotel." The owner quickly explained: "Hey, hey, do you really think that a hotel as big as ours only has one room? Not yet. I’ll help you create opportunities, it’s up to you whether you can seize them or not!”

this…

When Moriah heard this, he thought, this business genius can do this.

But Moria really didn't take it seriously. Haha, can he like this kind of woman?

"Here are 10,000 beli, take it." Moria handed over the money willingly, and even gave some more.

"It's too much, I can't use that much." The shopkeeper said that it was too much and stuffed it into his arms, with no intention of giving it back.

Moriah's head was full of black lines and he didn't know what to say.

"Sir, can I change you to a bigger room?" After enough money was given, the title became respectful, and the owner took the initiative to change to a better room.

"No, you should know what to do and don't say anything in front of her."

Moriah touched his neck. It still hurt a little. This was not the end of the grudge.

Although that is just a guess, it also has a certain basis. As long as things go smoothly, the purpose of revenge is achieved in disguise.

The shopkeeper's smile became even brighter and his waist became more bent.

A creak.

The simple door opened in response, and the layout inside came into view.

There was a simple bed, a wooden passage in the room, a floor-to-ceiling mirror against the wall on the right side of the door, a few benches, and nothing else.

"What did they say?" Seeing Moria walking in, Maginot asked.

Suddenly he remembered something and shook his head again.

Moria suddenly felt that there was nothing wrong with pretending to be mute.

"I'll sleep on the bed and you sleep on the floor, is that okay?" Maginot asked after turning on the light. Of course, it's impossible for both of us to sleep on the bed. After all, we've only known each other for a day, so being in the same room means that there's nothing wrong with him. Dangerous reasons.

Moria couldn't help but sigh, people in this world do things really differently, they are so unsuspecting!

Or was he acting honest? Moria thought otherwise. He was just pretending to be aloof, which made him look like a fool in the eyes of this self-righteous woman.

The bed was only so small, and Moriah felt that the bed might fall apart if he just sat on it, so he nodded.

Maginot thoughtfully built a simple nest for Moriah on the wooden floor.

"Shall we sleep? We have to work tomorrow!" Maginot climbed onto the bed and exhaled a long breath: "And don't turn off the lights. Just stay like this until dawn."

After speaking, Maginot was about to go to sleep without even taking off her clothes, when suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.

Maginot jumped out of bed hurriedly. While asking, she ran to open the door. When she opened the door a crack, she saw several women outside holding towels and carrying hot water.

"Did you go to the wrong place? We don't want these things!" Maginot looked at several people warily.

"Our store manager said this is a gift and there is no charge."

Before Maginot could react, several people put the freshly boiled hot water into the room.

The water is only in a wooden bucket. I guess it can be used several times if poured into the basin. It may be difficult to take a bath.

"Thank you boss for us." Although she still didn't understand the situation, Maginot still expressed her gratitude instinctively.

"Yes, please use it slowly." After saying that, several people put down the things in their hands and immediately retreated outside the room.

"Do you want to wash it?" Maginot suddenly asked Moria.

The latter shook his head, this little water is enough for what...

Maginot couldn't help but fall silent. To be honest, she didn't want to. She was still a little uncomfortable being outside, but it would be a pity not to use the hot water.

"How about you wait at the door first, and I'll ask you to come in later?" Maginot asked tentatively.

Moriah walked straight out.

"Wait a minute." Maginot suddenly stopped him and left so decisively. What if he ran away when he came back? Not to mention the future, he would still be counting on him to work tomorrow!

"Turn your head." Maginot suddenly took off her turban, and her hair immediately fell down, becoming less rustic and more feminine.

After Moria turned his head, Maginot tied the former's eyes with a turban and said, "You can't turn your head or take off the turban without my permission. If you agree, just nod. "

Here Moria was still thinking about the shape and softness, and when she heard Maginot's words, she almost replied.

Moria was playing a big game of chess, and for this reason he did not hesitate to stay silent and dormant next to this woman.

His ultimate goal is this woman.

She has nothing to do with Moriah, but she is probably Uta's godmother. What's wrong with bullying the future wife of her enemy? Even if it's not, it's not a loss, it's just a matter of drinking a few cups of wolfberry.

Not long after, the sound of rushing water came to Moriah's ears.

In this case, some perverts may say that even just listening to the voice can make three bowls of food.

Gradually, due to the horns on Moria's forehead, the headscarf could not be tied too tightly. As time went by, it gradually slipped down to the neck.

It's not a big deal if he just slipped and fell. After all, he was facing the wall at the moment. However, there was a large mirror in front of him, which was the floor-to-ceiling mirror on the right side of the door as mentioned earlier.

Moria can clearly see the mirror image behind her through the mirror.

Although Maginot didn't take off all her clothes, there were very few clothes left on her body.
