Pirate Merchant

"Aren't you worried about that long-nosed braggart being killed by pirates? I think you like him quite a bit. Should I say you are cruel? Or is everything under your control?"

On the street, Elsa, who was patrolling the street side by side with Mu Qian, held up an oil-paper umbrella with a black outside and a red inside, and asked Mu Qian full of doubts under the frequent sneak peeks of passers-by.

"It's not that the heart is dark, and it's not that everything is under control, but 'trust', just like he trusts me unconditionally, I also trust him, let him handle these things, it is the 'respect' generated by trust ', it is precisely because I respect him that I will not worry that he will be in danger, at least he will be able to protect himself if he is in danger."

Mu Qian, who was walking on the street, kept nodding in response to the residents and sailors who asked him, and explained to Elsa in a very serious whisper.

"I'm not worried because I respect you? It's a strange answer."

Elsa, who didn't quite understand what Mu Qian meant, pouted her mouth in dissatisfaction.

"Ah! Antonio?! Yahoo!!!"

Just when Mu Qian was half-kneeling on the ground, listening to the appeal of a kind-hearted old man with a cane.

Luffy, who walked towards the village with Usopp, first spotted Mu Qian, and then jumped up happily and greeted Mu Qian loudly.

"I will bring you the coffin you need the next time you go to sea, and I will accept your Berri first."

Mu Qian didn't immediately respond to Lu Fei's greeting. He smiled and took the dirty money bag handed to him by the old man, holding his trembling hand, and assured him softly.

"Elsa, take the old man home, yo, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, you also came to Sirob Village?"

After ordering Elsa at the side to send the old man home, Mu Qianzhan stood up, handed the money bag in his hand to a sailor, and asked the three passers-by with a smile.

"Didn't you go back to Rogue Town?"

Sauron with three swords stuck in his waist asked Mu Qian suspiciously.

"My boat can reach any location within the East China Sea within a day. I even taught those little prickly heads in the Yixin Dojo in Rogge Town yesterday, and took a nice bath. Get some sleep."

Facing Sauron's questioning, Mu Qian answered Sauron a little proudly.

"Oh oh oh! It's amazing! It's really amazing!!!"

Although he didn't understand what Mu Qian was talking about, Lu Fei clenched his fists and cheered exaggeratedly.

"It's very powerful. What do you want to eat? I invite you."

Looking at Nami, who was slightly hidden behind Sauron, and nodding to her with a smile, Mu Qian pointed to the restaurant in the village and said to Sauron and Luffy.

"Okay!!!"

"Long live!!!"

Under Mu Qian's suggestion, Luffy and Usopp, who were planning to make a living, all cheered long live.

"Wait, didn't you say you invited us to dinner? But why didn't you eat?!"

In the restaurant, after ordering a table full of dishes and leaving enough Berries for Luffy to feed the boss, Mu Qian apologized to Sauron and the others, and planned to leave Sirob Village.

Nami, who didn't know how to greet Mu Qian, stood up abruptly, and asked Mu Qian with her lips pursed.

"Sorry, Miss Nuoqigao and I have already agreed to deliver the goods in the boat to Cocoyasi Village early tomorrow morning."

Mu Qian shook his head and replied to Nami.

"This is Frost Moon Elsa. She is the deputy of my caravan. You should know her, Sauron, right? If you need anything, you can talk to her."

When Elsa sent the old man home, took the umbrella and walked into the restaurant, Mu Qian waved her slightly and called her to his side, and introduced her to Lu Fei and the others by pressing her bare shoulders.

"Elsa? Isn't she the master's niece? I have indeed heard about her from my senior brother. I heard that she is a swordsman second only to Kuina in the dojo."

Sauron looked at Elsa full of fighting spirit, but he held back his fighting spirit, fighting a little girl or something, his pride would not allow it.

"What is weak and Kuina?! I have always been stronger than her! Although I accidentally lost to her a few times before! It is all because my uncle does not allow me to use the fruit ability! If I use the fruit ability! Ten thousand of her None of them are my opponents!!!”

Sauron's words provoked Elsa's fragile nerves, causing her to roar angrily, and the terrifying sound scared all the diners in the restaurant to shrink to the corner of the wall and look at her in horror.

"Talk slowly, the sailors should have packed their cargo, and I should be leaving too."

Mu Qian looked at the sailors working outside the window, explained to them, turned and left the restaurant.

"Hey? Sauron and Sasha, are you three disciples of Yixin Dojo?"

After Mu Qian took all the sailors who set up stalls in Xiluobu Village on board and left.

After eating and drinking, Nami, who had already established a good relationship with Elsa, was slightly relieved, and then asked Elsa, who was dressed hotly but had an innocent and romantic personality.

"Yeah, I'm the senior sister of both of them, but that annoying bastard is the chief! I have to call him the chief too! Damn it! If I had won before! I would be the chief!!!"

Elsa gritted her teeth unwillingly and said that she would be as dissatisfied as she was defeated by that kind of magic-like sword move.

"Chief"

Nami looked at her face full of dissatisfaction, and Elsa, who insisted on winning or losing with Mu Qian, showed a faint smile.

"He is qualified to be the chief. Even if you win him in the duel, you can't become the chief. The chief is the most respected seat in the dojo. If whoever is the strongest is the chief, then Kuina has long been the chief. Is it his turn again?"

Although he was as dissatisfied with Mu Qian as Elsa, Sauron said to Elsa very seriously.

Although he was not convinced by Mu Qian's strength, he was very convinced of Mu Qian's status as the chief. In Sauron's mind, there was no second candidate for the chief of the Yixin Dojo. If anyone dared to disobey Mu Qian, he would kill that person.

"Is that big brother very strong?!"

With his mouth full of meat, Luffy looked at Zoro with shining eyes, and asked him with a big smile.

"Very strong!"

"It's a monster!"

"I don't know"

Nami, who witnessed the fusion of lava and glacier with her own eyes, answered Luffy very positively, while Elsa, who was embarrassed by Mu Qian's lava sword array, shuddered, and said without hesitation what was in her mind. The image of Mu Qian, on the contrary, only Sauron, who has never really fought against Mu Qian, does not know how strong Mu Qian is.

"Hahaha! I've decided!! I want him to be the pirate merchant on our ship!!!"

Luffy, who swallowed all the meat in his mouth, laughed and raised his fists and cheered loudly with confidence.

"Idiot! You have nothing, how could you let him on your boat?!"

Facing Luffy's idiot-like cheers, Nami punched him hard on the head without hesitation and denied his decision.

"Hmph! Don't think about Mr. Antonio's words! He will be my captain Usopp's strongest younger brother in the future! You will never have the chance to invite him in your life! Because he has already made an appointment with me! This is what we promised!!!"

"Amazing! Super handsome!!!"

Usopp raised his nose and stepped on the table when Luffy really believed it, raised the mechanical slingshot in his hand and laughed, accepting Luffy's envious and adoring eyes. He is really bragging. No one can compare.

"Is it a promise?"

Sauron turned his head slightly to look at the unpretentious Blade of Promise in the scabbard.

At this time, he showed a knowing smile while drinking wine, and a premonition that he must fight with him at the end of the way of swords became stronger in his heart.
