Pirates: Start by rejecting the redhead's invitation

The so-called golden apples are just ordinary apples painted by locals with gold paint to deceive outsiders.

Only those who are single-minded or simply over-the-top will believe it.

But the red-haired guy who has lived for nearly thirty years also believed it...

But the red-haired man's money had long been scattered in the previous town, and now he was penniless and couldn't even afford a bottle of water.

"Lin Mo, lend me a thousand Baileys." The red-haired man immediately sent a signal to Lin Mo for help.

Lin Mo refused directly: "I won't borrow it."

"Huh? This is a golden apple." The red-haired man was a little disappointed, but he still muttered without giving up, "One bite can live for a thousand years..."

Lin Mo continued walking forward speechlessly.

The red-haired man followed helplessly.

The owner of the stall selling golden apples looked at the two people leaving speechlessly: "Well, have the identities of these two people been swapped... Why does the child look like an adult..."

When I was walking in the desert two days ago, from time to time, big guys hiding in the sand and not afraid of death would come out and attack them, so there was no need to worry about food.

Although there was a lot of food piled in Lin Mo's system space, the red hair kept staring at him, and he couldn't take out the food directly in front of the red hair.

Therefore, the two of them ate the natural pure meat feast in the desert for two days in a row.

Now that we are in town, we naturally want to have a good meal.

Lin Mo randomly found a semi-tavern-style restaurant.

Ordered a table of dishes and two bottles of good wine.

The red-haired man sat down opposite him unceremoniously, clasped his hands together, and said with a smile, "Thank you for the hospitality, then I'll get started."

Lin Mo ignored him and started eating on his own.

The red-haired man was not idle either, as if he hadn't eaten for several days, he was eating rice with big mouthfuls.

At this time, two timid men sitting at the next table gathered together and communicated quietly.

"Are you sure it's tonight?"

"That's right, I heard that you need a ticket to enter this auction. Hehe, I just happened to get two tickets."

"Hahaha, although I can't afford anything too expensive, it's nice to see what the so-called secret treasure of the sea looks like."

The two people's voices were very quiet, and were completely covered up by the noise made by other diners in the restaurant.

Despite this, Lin Mo and Hongfa still heard clearly.

"Lin Mo, the secret treasure of the sea they are talking about must be what I think of, right?" The red-haired man stuffed his mouth with food and mumbled while chewing, without caring about his image at all.

Lin Mo remained silent and didn't speak.

When the restaurant delivery boy brought the last large portion of fried noodles ordered by their table, Lin Mo looked at the delivery boy and asked, "What is the name of this town?"

The delivery boy wondered: "This is Yuba, don't you even know where you are?"

The delivery boy just finished speaking.

The red-haired man spit out the food he had just eaten: "Pfft, hahaha, is this really Yuba?"

"Yes, yes." A drop of cold sweat rolled down the delivery boy's forehead.

Without saying anything more, he continued to work.

The red-haired man almost stopped laughing and turned over: "Ah hahaha, Lin Mo, don't you think this is too coincidental?"

Lin Mo continued eating the food speechlessly.

Yes, it is indeed quite a coincidence, just like it was arranged...

Is it possible that there are progress tasks in this town that need him to complete?

If it does exist, it is most likely related to some underground auction.

Lin Mo was thinking.

The red-haired man suddenly said softly: "Since you're already here, why not drop by the underground auction to have a look."

Lin Mo raised his head and glanced at the red-haired man with an expectant look on his face.

Without thinking much, he nodded and said, "Okay."

The red-haired man was stunned for a moment, then laughed and continued to eat.

To enter the underground auction, you must first get a ticket.

Although with the abilities of Lin Mo and Hongfa, it is not difficult to break in forcefully.

But doing this can easily cause unrest.

Then he will be the one in trouble...

Rather than causing unnecessary trouble, it is better to enter the auction according to normal procedures and attract as little attention as possible.

So, when the two people at the next table were leaving after dinner.

Lin Mo directly took out a bag of Bailey and threw it to the red hair, asking the red hair to deal with the admission tickets.

"Huh? Can't you come with me?" The red-haired man reflexively caught the money bag thrown by Lin Mo and said boringly, "It's just me, how boring it is."

Lin Mo said calmly: "It's okay if you don't go, then I won't go to the auction."

"Hey? You can't do this. You obviously promised me just now..."

"How can I get in without a ticket?"

"So how about you work with me to find a way to get the tickets?"

"I'm not going."

"Why?"

"trouble."

Red hair: “…”

The red-haired man put the straw hat beside him on his head and said helplessly: "Okay, but you can't sneak away without me knowing."

Lin Mo said speechlessly: "I know."

The red-haired man bared his teeth and said with a smile: "Okay, then I'll go."

After finishing speaking, the red-haired man immediately stood up from the dining table and followed the direction the two people had just walked.

As for Lin Mo, after paying for the meal, he also left the restaurant and prepared to walk around alone.

Lin Mo stopped in front of a vendor selling snake wine.

He hasn't drunk snake wine yet.

Looking at several cobras soaked in a large transparent wine tank, Lin Mo was considering whether to buy a drink and try it.

A tall woman with long wavy grass-green hair, golden pupils, and a fat man with thick chains wrapped around his body, wearing a thick orange long coat even in a hot place like the desert, and with the Pirates logo on his teeth.

The man walked past Lin Mo.

I sensed a different aura from the people in this town.

Lin Mo turned around and glanced.

Just looking at the backs of the two people, he recognized their identities.

It’s Monet the Snow Girl and Buffalo the Spinner.

They are both members of the Don Quixote family and Doflamingo's subordinates.

Doflamingo, nicknamed Tenyasha, was born as a Celestial Dragon. He is a guy who takes both black and white and does whatever it takes to achieve his goals.

Judging from the current time, Doflamingo should have just replaced him as the king of Dressrosa not long ago.

But his men appeared in Alabasta.

Obviously, they came here just for the Devil Fruit that will be auctioned tonight.

He actually managed to get Doflamingo to target him.

It seems that the devil fruits being auctioned this time have a lot of background.

"Kid, you've been staring here for so long, do you want to buy snake wine?" At this time, the wine vendor owner suddenly spoke, breaking Lin Mo's thoughts.

Lin Mo came back to his senses, and his eyes fell on the big wine vat in front of him again. After thinking about it, he asked: "How much is it?"

"Two Baileys a cup and twenty Baileys a bottle. This snake wine is a good thing. It's a great supplement. Do you want to buy some for your adults to drink?" the wine vendor owner asked with a smile.

Lin Mo directly took out two Baileys: "Let's have a drink first."

The wine vendor originally thought he was going to buy a bottle, but the smile on his face faded a little, so he took out a small paper cup, scooped half a spoonful of snake wine from the big wine vat, poured it into the paper cup, and handed it to Lin Mo.

Lin Mo drank it directly in front of the wine vendor owner.

"Huh? This wine is too tonic for a child like you. You can't drink it." Before the wine vendor boss could stop him, Lin Mo had already finished the drink.

This wine was a bit astringent and had a strong fishy smell. It was the most unpleasant wine he had ever tasted in the pirate world.

"Look, I told you a long time ago that you can't drink." The wine vendor knew from Lin Mo's expression that this boy would not be used to drinking.

When Lin Mo was speechless and ready to leave, not far away, red hair came towards him with two golden paper tickets and laughed.

After a moment of silence, Lin Mo turned to look at the wine vendor, took out twenty Baileys, chuckled and said, "Give me a bottle."
