Pirate Merchant

"Mr. Antonio! We have found all the oil and iron mines you need!"

"Mr. Antonio! The sea fish we caught are absolutely fresh! They are raised in nets offshore! When do you think they will be harvested?!"

"Mr. Antonio! This is the pearl we found!"

"Mr. Antonio! I know information about a devil fruit! How many Berries do you think are suitable?! Of course! If you really need it! I can tell you for free!"

As the Lucky and the Dawa slowly sailed into the simple port, the gangplank had just been put down, and before Mu Qian could fully get off, a group of murlocs and pirates who had been waiting here all surrounded them.

In their chattering flattery, corals of all kinds, ores and pearls of every kind were carried from the sea in crates.

"Please don't be crowded, the price will be negotiated with you by the sailors, please rest assured, our caravan will never ask you for credit, if the news of the devil fruit is reliable, I am willing to pay you one hundred thousand Berries in private, if you can bring Let's find the devil fruit, then I can pay you two million Berries, of course, if that devil fruit is what I need, then congratulations, the one hundred million Berries on my ship is yours."

Mu Qian, who was walking towards the quiet orange grove not far away, turned around, pointed to the energetic sailor behind him holding the abacus and scale, and said loudly to the group of murlocs and pirates who were full of expectations and desires, Although they were really lazy before, Mu Qian gave too much Berry.

"You are really amazing, we dare not show our atmosphere in the garden"

As soon as Mu Qian entered the orange grove, the first thing he saw was the residents of Kekeyasi Village holding a shovel and a hoe, and Nuo Qigao, who was at the front, wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to Mu Qian with some fear.

"Hehe, in my eyes, they are my customers just like you, no different, I am just a businessman, they sell things to me, I can't choose a place with them who came to me with the goods, right? "

Mu Qian shrugged and replied.

Then the villagers who calmed down after his arrival surrounded Nuoqigao's house.

But outside of Nuoqigao, the others just waited quietly outside the house.

"Mr. Antonio, please drink some water."

Nuo Qigao, who was deliberately arranged by the villagers to be alone with Mu Qian, looked a little nervous. After taking a deep breath to adjust his mood, he walked out of the kitchen with a glass of water on a tray, and then came to Mu Qian and put the water glass on the table in front of him. .

"Thank you, do you have anything to tell me?"

Seeing Nuo Qigao's embarrassment, Mu Qian smiled and beckoned her not to be too nervous.

"Well, Mr. Antonio, although he is very capricious, we rushed to repair that port in the past two days, so can you please drive away those murloc pirates entrenched there for us?"

A little embarrassed, Nuo Qigao slightly raised his hand to cover his cheek, and begged Mu Qian with dodge eyes.

"Sorry, as I said at the beginning, those murlocs are just customers in my eyes, so why should I drive away the 'fair trade' customers? Besides, if the port was built by you, Then the responsibility to protect the port should also be yourselves. As a businessman, my responsibility and obligation is to ensure that the goods are intact, and I have no responsibility and obligation to protect the port for you.”

Mu Qian shook his head with a smile, rejecting Nuo Qigao's request, which was easy for him, and only needed him to say, "Go to the evil dragon park and wait for me to collect the goods".

Some things are impossible to succeed if you don’t force them, and some people will always be cowards if you don’t force them. Moreover, the residents of Kekeyasi Village now at least know how to pick up the weapons of hoes and shovels. They, wouldn't that be a waste of all previous efforts?

"Mr. Antonio."

Nuo Qigao looked at Mu Qian in surprise, although she guessed that Mu Qian would not easily agree to this request.

And he was ready to spend a lot of money on Berry as security fee, but he never thought that Mu Qian would refuse so firmly.

"Sorry, I have already explained this issue to Nami. Although I can easily solve your troubles, I can't solve all your troubles forever. Only self-improvement can solve your worries. At least now you dare to take Take up your 'weapon' and stand at the gate of the orange garden, ready to resist the pirates when they come in, aren't you?"

Mu Qian's indifferent smile made the nervous Nuo Qigao gradually calm down, and showed a dazed expression.

"I'm very sorry for making such a willful request to you."

Holding the tray in both hands, Nuo Qigao bent down and bowed, apologizing to Mu Qian full of apology and guilt.

Under Mu Qian's explanation, she completely understood Mu Qian's intention and admired this gentleman even more.

"Ahem, it's nothing, don't worry too much about it."

Nuoqi Gaona, who was wearing a spotted camisole, leaned over to apologize, the vacuum was so full that Mu Qian hurriedly turned his head away from her.

And relieved his embarrassment with a huge cough, complaining in his heart that the sisters Nami and Nuo Qigao are too good.

"I still have some personal matters to deal with. Please believe in the sincerity and enthusiasm of our caravan. Then, I will take my leave first."

Nuo Qigao, who bowed to him, did not see Mu Qian's embarrassment just now, which made Mu Qian breathe a sigh of relief, then stood up and said to Qinuogao.

"Hey? That! If you're not busy, please stay and have a meal before leaving?!"

Seeing that Mu Qian stood up and wanted to leave, Nuo Qi hurriedly said loudly to Mu Qian.

"It's not too busy. The 'Black Cat Incident' probably won't start until some time ago. I'm sorry to bother you."

Rubbing his chin, he recalled the already blurred memory.

Guessing that there would be no major problems today, Mu Qian sat back in his seat and said to Nuo Qigao apologetically that he would not miss such a sure-fire thing as having lunch with a beautiful girl with short hair.

"No trouble, no trouble! Please wait a moment!"

Nuo Qi turned around and ran towards the kitchen with a happy smile, and then accidentally knocked over the stacked pots and pans in a panic, causing her to let out a soft scream.

"Hehe, I didn't expect Nuo Qigao to be a reckless mother."

Sitting on the chair, Mu Qian picked up the newspaper by the dining table, crossed his legs, and read it carefully. The headline on the front page of the newspaper was a reward of 100 million Berry for the devil fruit he gave, and the rest were It is the rewards offered by some pirates and information about whether they have been captured.

Although Nuo Qigao was considered a reckless mother by Mu Qian just now, she is very good at cooking, and she is extremely skillful in cooking. After a while, she cooked two meat dishes, three dishes and one soup and brought them in front of Mu Qian.

Eat quietly, clean up the table together quietly, and leave quietly after nodding to the host with a silent smile.

Nuo Qigao enjoyed his indifference while keeping a distance from others when getting along with Mu Qian, but it made people feel that he was very gentle.

Nuo Qigao, who was standing at the door of the house, looked at Mu Qian's retreating back foolishly, his eyes were full of his reluctance to leave and the expectation of when he would come back.

"Aunt Belmer, Nami and I will definitely protect this orange grove, definitely."

Nuo Qigao, with a dull expression, came to sit down in front of a tombstone by the coast, and with a silly smile, he muttered to the tombstone that was made into a simple cross made of wood.

"Aunt Belmer, someone told me today, 'Only self-improvement can relieve worries'. Although it sounds very convoluted, but ah, Aunt Belmer, I seem to like this sentence very much, I like it very much."

Sitting cross-legged on the ground, Nuo Qigao had gleaming eyes and put her chin on her hands and smirked. She, who had been forcing herself to be strong, smiled innocently like a child for the first time facing this simple tombstone.
