Selling Pokémon from Pirates

Chapter 216 The bet between father and son

Time, go back a few hours.

After landing on Tenjin Island, many contestants walked out of the island one by one.

Although this Pokémon League Tournament has a pick-up and drop-off service for players, most players still gave up this benefit and chose to sail freely.

At this time.Bharati, a restaurant on the sea.

Ever since Lin Luo commanded Ibrahimovic to defeat Akainu here, this sea area instantly became a famous tourist attraction in the East China Sea.

Barati was originally a mobile restaurant sailing on the sea, but due to the general trend, it chose to station in this sea area.

Nowadays, under the influence of brand benefits, not only are there two more flat boats on both sides of Barati serving as restaurants, but the manpower has also increased, more than three times as much as before.

Even so, such manpower still cannot cope with today's crowded scene.

Because at this time, Barati not only gathered seven of the top eight players in the Pokémon League Tournament.

Even the resurrected Pirate King Roger sat in the lobby grandly, enjoying the delicious food.

…

…

"Hello? What on earth is going on, old man!?"

Watching Roger devouring every piece of Pirate King at the dinner table, Ace rarely had any interest in the food in front of him.

Instead, he looked at Oji Sancapu with an incomprehensible expression, waiting for him to give him an explanation.

"ah?"

However, Garp, who was also devouring his food next to Roger, seemed to not understand and suddenly showed doubts.

"What are you talking about, Ace? What is going on?!"

"..."

Seeing Garp and himself pretending to be dumbfounded, Ace suddenly felt a burst of anger in his heart.

"snort!"

He instantly snorted, turned around suddenly, and walked towards the door.

"Forget it! I'm too lazy to care about you!"

"Anyway, I will soon be a member of the Wanjie Chamber of Commerce. I will go to the new world for adventure. You can make trouble as much as you like."

Even though Ace was able to understand Roger, he still couldn't forgive this dead father as his son.

Seeing the angry Ace, he turned around and walked out.

Suddenly, Roger suddenly put down his elbow and said with a smile:

"Hey, kid."

"Would you like to make a bet with me?"

"bet?"

Ace turned around again and looked at Roger with piercing eyes.

"What do you want to bet on?"

"What to bet on?"

Roger pondered for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth, revealing the strong man's iconic crescent smile.

"How about we make a bet, which one of us can resurrect your mother first?"

A ray of light suddenly flashed in Roger's eyes.

His move was considered to have completely hit Ace's weakness.

Of course, this is also one of his weaknesses.

"Resurrection mother?"

"…………"

Upon hearing the content of Roger's bet, Ace was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly became angry.

This guy actually used his mother as a bet tool. He is really a corrupt guy!

In the past, Ace had to face strong men on the sea and deal with the Pokémon League Tournament, so even when he had enough points, he did not resurrect his mother.

certainly……

Another more important reason is that Ace is not ready to meet his mother yet.

In his plan, even resurrecting Sabo came before resurrecting his mother.

Because Ace thinks...

If he resurrected his mother, Portcas D. Luju, he wasn't sure whether he would resurrect his worthless father who plunged him into a dark childhood.

Originally, he thought that resurrecting his mother would be something he would only consider after completing his dream, but Garp's sudden move completely disrupted Ace's plan.

but……

After a moment of silence, his eyes suddenly became firm, he raised his head and looked directly at Roger.

For a moment, their eyes met.

"good!"

Ace looked sharp and suddenly said seriously:

"Let's compare the two of us to see who is more like a man and who is more responsible!"

There was no way he would let the bastard in front of him who abandoned his wife and children resurrect his mother before him.

So no matter what, he must take over this game.

"So, what's the bet?" Ace continued to ask with bright eyes.

However……

"bet!?"

Roger was suddenly startled, and then a thoughtful look appeared on his face.

It was obvious that he had never thought about the bet from the beginning.

After pondering for a moment, he suddenly struck his fist with one hand and struck his palm.

"Yes!"

"The bet is, if I win, you have to call me daddy, how about that?"

Roger laughed.

"What!?"

Ace clenched his fists fiercely.

This bet, which seemed like a joke to others, seemed extremely heavy to him.

Even though he knew that Roger had not really done anything wrong, he even handed himself over to Garp in advance to save his life.

But no matter what, he didn't want to admit that that man was his father.

although……

His blood flows through his body, and his name comes from his thoughts.

Some things can disappear just because he doesn't want to admit them.

"…………"

This time, Ace remained silent for longer than before.

It wasn't until a while later that he suddenly let go of his hands, quietly let out a long breath, and then looked at Roger again.

At this time, Ace's eyes had begun to change.

"Can!"

"But what if I win?"

"You won?"

Roger was in a daze again, but just a second later, he laughed again and said:

"If you win, I'll call you daddy!"

"Hahahahahaha..."

Joyful laughter rang out in the Barati restaurant, and Roger covered his belly and laughed heartily.

But no one noticed that in the midst of his heroic laughter, a trail of tears suddenly flowed down from the crow's feet at the corner of his eyes, but was instantly absorbed by the dry skin.

In the end, Ace angrily agreed to Roger's bet, walked out of Barati without looking back, summoned a fire-breathing dragon and flew towards the Kingdom of Goa.

In the restaurant, Roger's laughter became even more wild when he saw Ace's expression when he left.

While laughing, he patted Garp on the shoulder.

"Hahahaha, I have been thinking for a long time that if I have a son, I must tease him well like this."

“It’s so much fun!!!”

At this time, Garp had a rare serious look on his face and said dissatisfied:

"Hey, hey, hey!? Don't let my grandson, who I have taught so hard, go down the wrong path again!"

"How can a father bet with his son? Don't you know that many beautiful families are separated and their families are destroyed because of gambling?"

"…………"

In an instant, Roger's laughter suddenly disappeared as if the stop button had been pressed.

I saw him suddenly put an arm on Garp's body, then brought his face close to him, and said gloomily:

"Speaking of this, I suddenly thought..."

"Garp, you guy, why do you want Ace to be your grandson!? What on earth do you mean!? Hmm!!?"

"...ah...this..."

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Garp had an awkward smile on his face, but he kept silent and refused to answer.

…

…

At the same time, in the private room of Barati Restaurant.

Usopp, Keya, Bucky the Clown and his pirate crew members gathered here.

Unlike Garp, a poor navy executive, Usopp, who has his own business in the East China Sea, has long been a senior VIP at Barati's restaurant.

After all, this is the place where Master Lin Luo once fought. How could he, Lin Luo's ultimate follower, not have been here before?

In the box at this time.

Usopp and Keya were persuading Bucky the Clown with earnest words.

But Bucky was holding his head, with a look of tangled pain on his face.

"It's okay Bucky, Roger is your captain, why would he dislike you for doing such a bad job!?"

"That's right, even though Shanks, who is also a trainee crew member with you, has become a world-famous pirate and one of the four emperors who rule the new world, I believe that senior Roger will not dislike you!"

"That's right, even if you are just a little pirate in the East China Sea with a bounty of more than 10 million beli, Mr. Roger will not dislike you."

"That's right, even if you were defeated by me and then imprisoned by me to help me make special ammunition, Mr. Roger will definitely not dislike you."

"…………"

"…………"

Usopp and Keya were a couple, and they told the truth about what happened to Bucky, without adding any exaggeration or jealousy.

But they don’t know that the most hurtful words in this world are always the truth!

As the two took turns narrating, Bucky's body shrank smaller and smaller, the arms holding his head became tighter and tighter, and tears filled his face.

"Stop talking... stop talking... I beg you, please stop talking..."

Unfortunately, maybe Bucky's voice was too weak, so that Usopp and Keya, who were chattering endlessly, didn't hear it at all, and they were still telling them about Bucky's past one by one.

From time to time, Bucky's younger brothers would come over to add details.

For Bucky, everything at this time is simply like a nightmare, and people just want to escape from here as soon as possible.

Fortunately...

Just when Bucky was about to get under the table, there was a sudden knock on the door.

A girl's sweet voice came from outside the door.

"Excuse me, is Mr. Usopp here?"

Just by listening to this voice, you can tell that the person outside the door must be a beautiful girl as beautiful as a flower.

All of a sudden!

Keya, the pirates from the Bucky Pirates, and Bucky, who had his body stretched out under the table but his head was flying strangely, all looked at Usopp with stern eyes.

That look seemed to be questioning him, what is the relationship between the girl outside the door and him!?

"Uh...uh uh..."

Usopp's forehead was dripping with cold sweat. Fortunately, he was not afraid of the shadow because of his body, so he quickly shouted at the door:

"I'm here, who are you? Why are you looking for me?"

Outside the door, the girl's voice came again.

"There are some things that I would like to discuss with Mr. Usopp alone. If it is convenient, I will come in first."

squeak……

After all, it is just a private room in a restaurant, and there is no door lock at all.

The box door was suddenly opened.

What caught everyone's eyes was a beautiful girl with orange hair and a man wearing a neat suit who looked like a butler.

"Miss Nami!? Mr. Crow!?"

Usopp was suddenly stunned and looked towards the door with confusion on his face.

But Nami, who pushed open the door and walked in, was very familiar with her. Regardless of the weird atmosphere in the box, she smiled immediately when she saw Usopp and walked straight in.

Crowe followed closely behind.

"Great, Mr. Usopp, you are indeed here. It seems that Sanji did not lie to me..."

While speaking, Nami glanced outside the door subconsciously.

Usopp captured this detail. At the moment when the box door was about to close, his super visual nerves instantly saw Sanji looking like a pig brother and preparing to serve other guests through the crack in the door.

This guy actually leaked the privacy of senior members, I have to complain to him after dinner!

Usopp thought angrily, and then looked at Nami again.

"I wonder why Miss Nami came to see me?"

"this……"

Nami pondered for a moment, then winked at Crowe.

Crowe understood instantly and took out an anti-eavesdropping phone bug from his body. He checked it and found that there was none, and nodded to Nami.

Nami then smiled and said:

"Presumably everyone already knows my identity as a revolutionary soldier."

"Then I'll get straight to the point..."

"The main reason I came here this time is to purchase a batch of your company's special ammunition from Mr. Usopp as a revolutionary army."

"Of course, what we want is not the kind of petty Konoha stars that are common on the market..."

"We hope Mr. Usopp can make some ammunition for us with an attack level of at least 50."

"The best thing is to be able to make some special ammunition with other attributes. We, the Revolutionary Army, can provide you with whatever Pokémon you need."

As soon as Nami finished speaking, a sweet smile appeared on her face, and she looked at Usopp with shining eyes.

"oh?"

At this moment, Keya beside Usopp suddenly spoke up.

The businessman's DNA activates instantly.

"If it needs to be customized individually, we have to have a serious discussion about the price."

Keya smiled without showing her teeth, and her face turned into the same smile as Nami.

Nami turned her head.

A wonderful aura suddenly burst out from the two of them, causing the men present to shiver uncontrollably.

A competition between women seems to be about to begin in this small box.

…

…

"Here, this is your dish."

Seeing Nami's graceful figure disappear through the crack of the door, Sanji's expression instantly dropped, and he even became listless when serving food.

But just as he finished serving the food and turned to leave, a voice suddenly cheered him up.

"Hey! What's your expression, chef!? Don't you know that the customer is God? I can tell by the look on your face that this dish must be terrible without tasting it!"

"Ah!!? What did you say!?"

When he heard someone saying that his food was unpalatable, Sanji suddenly turned around angrily.

But in an instant, his expression became extremely stunned.

"It's you!? Green algae head!?"

"It's me, you, the defeated general, will be frowning upon you!"

Zoro grinned, the sarcasm on his face undisguised.

Sanji was furious: "What did you say!? Be careful, I'll chop you up, you green algae head."

But Zoro just buttoned his ears, with disdain on his face: "Haha, you couldn't beat me in the semi-finals. How could I, who had already won the runner-up reward, still be afraid of you!?"

"You hateful guy! Don't think that a momentary victory can make you win forever!!! Damn it!!!"

Sanji was furious when Zoro mentioned his pain point, but at the same time, he knew that what Zoro said was true.

This moment made him even more furious, and the flames in his bloodline power even spurted out unconsciously.

"Hey, hey, hey! Be careful not to ruin this meal!"

Seeing the flames spreading along the tablecloth, Zoro quickly picked up the table knife at hand and cut off the burning tablecloth with a single slash.

"People like you don't deserve to eat the food I cook!"

"Huh?! What did you say!?"

"…………"

A new round of bickering begins again.

…

…

Zhefu, who was standing on the railing on the second floor, looked at Sanji who was making noise in the lobby downstairs. His face suddenly turned green and he cursed secretly:

"This idiot!"

At this moment, a strange smell suddenly penetrated into the nose of him, a top chef.

Zhefu suddenly looked up and saw a huge snail boat slowly docking at the temporary port of Barati Restaurant.

Looking at the snail boat outside the window, Tetsuo's expression changed instantly!

"This...this...this..."

"If such a big snail is made into cheese-baked snails, it will be so delicious!!!"
