One Piece: Adopting Akainu at the beginning, adopted son Barrett

Chapter 10 The Guide Brothers and Sisters
It didn't take long to get from the hotel area to the auction venue. Sakaski arrived there on foot in just half an hour.

I had only taken a quick glimpse under Ross's guidance before, and it was only now that I could get a good look at this dirty place.

Although the numbers on the mangroves represent areas, there are actually not many buildings in each area and they are very concentrated. There is a blank area in between, which is neither short nor long.

After walking for a while, Sakaski arrived at the edge of a town.

What caught the eye were three huge auction houses, and the rest were scattered shops and taverns, as well as merchants selling slaves and so on.

Anyway, there was not a single bit of work that could be seen in the light from beginning to end.

Although he felt very nauseous, he still endured the nausea and walked forward, trying to find a shop selling explosives.

"Hello, big brother. Do you want a guide? For just one thousand Baileys, the Sphinx brothers and sisters can take you anywhere you want to go in this city!"

Just when Sakaski was at a loss, a boy and a girl ran over. They seemed to have found their target. They stopped in front of him and kept talking, trying hard to promote themselves:

"My dear brother, the Luoting venue is very large. People who come here for the first time will most likely get lost. But with a guide, it's different. You can easily go anywhere you want! And it only costs one thousand Baileys!"

Sakaski looked down and saw that the two siblings were not even half his height. The girl looked at him pitifully while the boy was forcing a smile.

For a moment, he was a little overwhelmed. It was the first time he faced such an attack.

After all, Sakaski was born on a small island. He had never seen such a scene before, but he was too embarrassed to drive him away, so he could only stay where he was and hesitate.

Finally, he sighed, took out a large bill from the book, handed it over, and said:

"Please take me to where I can buy explosives."

Even if it's not for the boy's smiling face, it's for the girl's pitiful appearance.

After Ross's training for a period of time, Sakaski's strength is no longer what it used to be. With his keen insight, he naturally saw the scars on the two little guys.

Although only a small part is not covered by clothes, the traces left can still reveal its depth.

Two tools, that's what Sakaski speculated.

How much of these 1,000 Baileys would they get in the end? Sakaski didn't know, but it should help them avoid getting beaten.

He is not a good guy, because he clearly knows that he does not have the ability now, but he does not mind doing such a small thing, since he does not lose anything anyway.

In the remaining time, you can go to the souvenir area to buy some gifts to take back, whether it is for the eldest brother Mokasi or the other two younger brothers, or familiar companions on the ship.

"Thank you, big brother! My name is Sphinx Zoro, she is my sister Zoe, I am happy to be your guide!"

After receiving the money, Zoro happily put it into his sister's arms, then pretended to tidy up his clothes, bent down and made a gesture of invitation, motioning Sakaski to go in front:

"You want to buy dynamite, right? You can't buy high-quality dynamite on this street. If you want the best and greatest dynamite, the old drug dealer on West Street is definitely your best choice!"

Sakaski is very satisfied with this service attitude, but at the same time he feels distressed. After all, service attitude is nothing more than two kinds of training:
Training, or practice makes perfect.

Either way would be a thousand times more cruel than his own childhood. Sakaski tried not to think about it and headed for West Street under the guidance of Zorro beside him.

"Has this place always been like this?" Sakaski suddenly turned around and asked. Along the way, he found that the order here was very good, at least on the surface.

This was somewhat different from what he had imagined of "gang catching gangsters". He didn't even notice any signs that he was being followed along the way!
He always assumes the worst of these scumbags, because no matter how evil they are, it is never too evil.

Zorro thought about it, looked at Sakaski's expression and understood. It seemed that this big brother was indeed a noble child who came to this place for the first time.

No wonder he was so generous and gave away a thousand Baileys.

Sakaski was dressed appropriately at this time, and exuded a calm aura. At first glance, he did not look like an ordinary person, so it was okay for Zoro to mistake him for a noble.

He just said:
"There is a difference between the auction venue and the illegal zone. This is actually an open entrance to the dark world. Except for the young and incompetent, no one dares to break the rules of the game."

Listening to some of the professional terms from Zorro's mouth, Sakaski had a headache. It seemed that he was still limited in knowledge. If Master Ross were here, he would definitely help explain it to him.

Zoro seemed to have noticed Sakaski's worry. He organized his words a little and said:
"In fact, it's because some big shots are behind it. Everyone in this area has to abide by their rules. Those who dare to break the rules will basically have a bad ending. After all, doing business is not robbery."

"Thank you, I understand."

"Ahem, big brother, we're here. My sister and I are waiting for you outside. When you go in, just ask the old man inside. He is definitely the most trustworthy person on this street."

As they were talking, the three of them came to a shop that had pretty good decoration, but compared to those around the three big auction houses, it seemed a bit small.

There is a plaque on it with three big characters "Old Pharmacist" inscribed on it. It is covered with cracks and looks like it has been through many battles.

Sakaski nodded and walked in, and he understood something in his heart.

It may not be called the best store, but the owner of this store must have cooperated with the two of them and specifically brought customers to the store, and he was one of them.

However, the credibility should be guaranteed. There are some, but not many.

"Welcome to Old Medicine Head's Gunpowder Shop. Customers can choose what they want to buy. If you have any questions, you can ask me, an old man."

An old man walked slowly towards them, hunched over and talking.

Sakaski tensed up the moment the other party appeared!

Very strong, this old man has the ability to kill himself easily!

The only thing to be thankful for is that he may not be as strong as Big Brother Mokasi.

But he soon relaxed because the other party did not have any hostility, but Sakaski was still a little wary.

In silence, he began to walk around the gunpowder store.

Various types of gunpowder are displayed on the shelves here. Different craftsmanship makes their power different. Some finished bombs are also placed next to their respective materials.

Very neat and professional, there is even a wooden sign specifically marking the power and its price!
"I want the most powerful kind of gunpowder. Can you show it to me?"

"No problem, the customers are nobles. Take a look at this, the new product of Vinsmoke, the assassin family of the North Sea, is called the super gunpowder of [Kazama Fish]!"
