Pirate Merchant

"Reiju? What are you doing on the boat? Let me tell you first, I didn't cook for you"

On the deck of the Sonny, Sanji, who walked out of the kitchen with a tray, looked at Reiju, who was wearing a pink battle suit, jumped from the air and landed on the deck, and asked her with a cigarette from his mouth.

"What a cold brother, shouldn't you say 'I'll do something for you' in this situation?"

Reiju supported her with one hand, the gentle, confident, and elegant smile on her face made the men forget about her poisonousness, and they couldn't help but want to get close to her.

"I won't cook for you, and besides, I don't want to cook for the Vinsmoke family."

Sanji, who didn't expect Reiju to come suddenly, sighed and put the grilled meat on the tray in front of Luffy. He likes beautiful women the most, and he replied reluctantly to his beautiful sister Reiju.

"I want a steamed armored scorpionfish skin, not spicy, thank you~"

Reiju walked up to Sanji with a smile, raised her hands to pinch his cheeks, and pulled his face into various weird shapes. That doting smile made Sanji's cheeks flush slightly, a little uncomfortable. Embarrassed.

"Ghosts will make this kind of poisonous food! I said! Your hobby is too strange?!"

In the eyes of his companion looking at strangers, Sanji shook off Reiju's hands, and tidied up his suit in a little panic.

"Mid-rare is good~"

"We don't have armored ghost scorpionfish on this ship. Ahhh! I really can't stand a wayward sister like you!"

Sanji refused the request to cook for Reiju again without hesitation, but under Reiju's gentle gaze, his mother's face flashed in the back of his mind, he turned and turned his head, took off his leather shoes and pounced. into the sea.

"By the way, I came here to explain the situation to you. Mr. Mu has successfully restored the Golden Meri, and carried out hull reinforcement, anti-corrosion, anti-high temperature, anti-low temperature, and anti-oxidation treatments for the Meri. Thorpe, your two-year agreement is a little different, but now you can go to pick up the boat."

After Sanji jumped into the sea to catch fish for himself, Reiju looked at Usopp who was sitting on the ground playing with small toys, nodded to him with a smile and said the purpose of her visit this time.

"What?! The Merry is completely repaired?!"

A gleam of ecstasy flashed in Usopp's eyes, and he asked Reiju with tears in his eyes, and Reiju nodded to confirm with him.

"Merry?! Is the Merry really repaired?! Long live!"

"Allah~"

Luffy put down the big meat in his hand and rushed to Reiju's side. After getting her nod in reply, he hugged Reiju's waist, and jumped again amidst Reiju's expression of resistance but not easy to refuse. They jumped and cheered again.

"Mr. Mu is really a miraculous guy. He can still connect the broken keel. It must have cost a huge amount of money, right?"

As a boatman, he knows better than anyone that it is almost impossible to repair a broken keel. Even if everything is blocked to repair the keel, the cost of Berry is absolutely astronomical.

"Ah, I heard that the Meri was repaired by Mr. Mu himself. In the past two years, whenever he has time, he will restore the Meri. Although Mr. Mu said that he didn't spend much money, Mr. Mu's 'time' is the most important thing in the world. The most expensive kind of money 'measurement'."

After Luffy sent himself away and hugged Usopp and Chopper, danced a strange dance, cried and celebrated, Reiju replied to Franky full of admiration and admiration.

"I once got his treasury flow again. If converted into seconds, every second of his month is worth an average of 170,000 beri."

Nami was also a little moved and raised her hand to wipe the tears from the corners of her eyes, agreeing with Reiju's evaluation of Muqian just now.

"However, I don't suggest that we go to pick up the Merry now, Frankie, I remember last time you seemed to say that you wanted to systematically maintain the Sonny, right?"

Nami, who was moved, looked at Franky, who was moved to tears by the celebration of Usopp and Luffy, and asked him loudly amidst the noise of Luffy and Usopp.

"Yes, it's best to spare time. If it's not possible, I can dive into the sea and maintain the Sonny while it's sailing."

Franky gave a thumbs up and replied with a confident and hearty look of "Leave it to me".

"This is too slow, and if you are attacked while you are maintaining the ship, then we are really in danger"

Nami meditated with her hands on her hips.

"Miss Reiju, are you the 'secretary' in charge of the dock?"

After thinking for a while, Nami asked Sanji's sister Reiju with a smile. That dangerous smile made Luffy, Usopp, Chopper and Franky shudder involuntarily.

"No, but I can convey anything to Mr. Mu personally for Nami."

Reiju shook her head and replied to Nami, she didn't want to be Muqian's secretary, after finally leaving her father, she just wanted to be free to do what she wanted to do.

"Really? That's fine. I still have 1.7 billion Berries here. Robin, I want to sell that 'fake gold book'. Based on the market price, the minimum price should be 100 million Berries." In that case, we can probably have 1.8 billion Berries."

Nami turned and said to Robin who was sitting on a beach chair not far away, reading the golden book.

"That book belongs to you, Nami, so you can do whatever you want."

Robin, who guessed what Nami was thinking, smiled and replied to Nami.

"What are you doing with so much money? Do you want to buy something 'important'?"

Zoro, who heard the noise outside, yawned and walked out of the cabin, wondering why Nami suddenly talked about money.

"I have been thinking during this time that although the Sonny is the best pirate ship, it lacks the most important mobility of a ship in this 'new era' that is gradually no longer closed."

Nami said to her companions who gathered around her with a serious expression.

"I lived on that huge mothership for two years, and during these two years, I deeply realized what the most important thing about a 'ship' is. So, Franky, I want to buy a spaceship to fly. Device, do you have a way to install it on the Sonny and the Merry?"

Seeing all her companions looking at her with doubtful expressions, Nami looked at Franky and asked him.

"Of course it's no problem, oh oh oh! Is the Sonny really flying?! I'm super excited!!!"

Just when Nami was worried that Franky would refuse, Franky danced a weird perverted dance and reveled. It seemed that he had long wanted to get the flying device developed by Muqian and Bingshan, but he never had it. Just an opportunity.

"Flying to Lavrud from the sky? It is indeed a good idea."

Usopp beamed with joy at the thought of being safe when he flew into the air, praising Nami.

"Sorry, Lavrud cannot be reached from the sky. However, I saw the news a few days ago that the price of the latest spaceship has been reduced again, and the Navy has begun purchasing spaceships in large quantities."

Nami said to her companions with a particularly solemn expression.

"So, although we can't reach Lavrud from the sky, we need to have a way to escape from the sky when the navy and other pirate groups are suppressing us from the sky!"

She knows the importance of the sky better than anyone else in the Straw Hats, and she is even more determined to get the flying device.

"Nami, even if the price is reduced, 1.8 billion Berry can only modify two ships, right? What about the fuel rods used in the subsequent flight devices? Those things are much more expensive than the material cost and modification fee!"

Franky, who had also learned about spaceship modifications, asked Nami worriedly. Without fuel, just modifications would be useless.

"It depends on you two, Franky and Usopp. If you don't want to eat potatoes, cabbage and rice in the future, please use the fuel rod~"

Nami smiled slyly and pushed the trouble onto Usopp and Franky. Nami's frivolous request made Franky and Usopp hurriedly shake their heads and complain about Nami. She is really a devil!

"Haha~ I know the recipe for fuel rods. Well, that stuff tastes weird."

Reiju who was on the side said to Nami lightly when Usopp and Franky shouted to Nami that it would never be possible to create it. When she answered her father Gaji about this intelligence formula, she said: The investigation was too difficult to cope with.

"eat"

Nami looked at Reijiu with black lines on her head. She had known Reijiu for a long time and knew that Reijiu liked to take poison, but she never thought that Reijiu would actually eat energy bars. No, I should say a little bit. No one in their right mind would eat energy bars, right? !

"Well, I think Taotie tastes quite delicious, but it tasted a little weird when I ate it, and it even made me have a stomachache. Thanks to Sister Keya's considerate care, I got better."

Reiju said with some fear.

"Did you analyze the ingredients of the energy bar after eating it?"

Nami's eyes lit up and she asked Reiju, this Sanji's sister seems to dote on her younger brother, it's time to send Sanji, this lecherous waste, to play a role!

"No, Mr. Mu gave it to me, so I know the formula. He said that if my father wants me to go back and I don't want to go back, I will give this formula to my father."

Reijiu shook her head and answered extremely seriously.

"Well, you did not say that you obtained the formula by eating it at first."

It was rare for Nami to complain about Reiju, so she wondered why she didn't see that she had the attributes of a natural girl before.

"That's not the case, 'eating' is the most important step of the energy bar, because I only know the 'recipe', and the production process is extremely simple. After Taotie eats all the formula materials, the energy bar is generated, so, I Then I try to make energy bars by chewing them.”

Reijiu shook her head seriously and told Nami why Mu Qian revealed the energy rod formula so easily, because other than him, it was impossible for anyone to be able to reproduce the energy rod through the formula, unless there were still people in this world. There is another Tuntun fruit.

"Are you saying that the formula alone is not enough, the most important thing is Taotie, that stupid dog?"

Nami laughed, and in her smile, Reiju also laughed after nodding. It was obvious that the two women with evil intentions were not plotting the same thing at all, but their goals seemed to be exactly the same. .

——

new era——

"So, it's better to finish your work by yourself. You think you are lazy, but in the end it will all come back to you."

On the street heading to the Cake Castle, Katakuri looked at Mu Qian, who had panda eyes and was languid next to him, complaining about the man who was locked in the office by his secretary and worked for 48 hours straight. man.

"I have deeply realized how scary Khalifa is. I never thought that she would put some unimportant documents aside and leave them for me to deal with! Damn it! The paint on the hull of a spaceship sold last year fell off, and the shipyard built the ship. The fact that the spray painting department of the factory was notified and criticized has been kept until now for me to review?!”

Mu Qian rubbed his brows and complained viciously, Kalifa definitely did it on purpose! She is definitely jealous because she complimented Brynn on her good figure! She obviously hired a secretarial team of nearly a hundred people, but as long as the operation was normal, it would never be possible to leave so many things behind, so she was 100% seeking malicious revenge!

"I don't want to doubt your craftsmanship, but can your little snacks really satisfy my mother?"

Perospero looked at the small bag in Mu Qian's hand and asked Mu Qian with doubts in his eyes. His mother was a famous big eater. It was just a snack like this. It was not delicious, but the worst he could do was to offend his mother. Get angry.

But it would be even worse if it tastes good. If this small portion of dessert is a rare delicacy in the world, then if my mother's Sireia is triggered, an entire island will be destroyed.

"Am I the kind of person who is unprepared and unsighted? Don't worry, this is just a sample. The real meal is stored in the gluttonous belly."

Mu Qian rubbed his sore shoulders and replied to Perospero with a smile. In his answer, Qinglong emerged from his collar, and his exquisite ice crystal eyes locked on the cake castle in front of him. , full of hostility towards the 'monsters' hidden within.

"Calm down, you are my companion beast. If you are afraid of her, it will be me who will be embarrassed."

Looking at the hostile Qinglong on his shoulder, Mu Qian raised his hand and gently patted its head to comfort it.

".Is this the companion beast created by Kaido's Devil Fruit? It does contain unimaginable power."

Katakuri looked at Qinglong who had retracted into Makuken's collar, and asked Makuken expectantly. He really wanted to fight Makuken at full strength once to understand where he was at this time. .

"I'll let you see it, but before going to the mirror world, you want to calm down your mother's anger, right? Taotie"

Mu Qian patted his trouser legs. As he shouted, Taotie, disguised as the lines on his trousers, slowly returned to its true form. Unaware that he had been targeted by two dangerous women, it squatted on the ground and waggled its tail happily toward Mu Qian. Qian greeted.
