Pirate: I am a logistics person, what the hell is the emperor

Chapter 169: Twin Stars Shining Together
"Welcome, I understand."

Kemi smiled and bowed, then turned around and called inside, "Xiao Ba, a customer has ordered takoyaki."

The ship was not big. There was a row of round chairs on the deck in front of the bar, and Luffy sat on one of them.

Behind the bar is the interior of the cabin. When the sound of ordering food is heard, a response comes immediately from inside.

"Okay, Kemi, let the guests wait for a moment, it will be ready soon."

There was a blue curtain between the bar and the cabin, with a picture of Takoyaki and the signboard in large letters, but it didn't completely cover the area.

Luffy could vaguely see a burly man preparing food, but his face was blocked by a curtain above his chest, and the people inside also couldn't see outside.

"I can already smell a very nice aroma." Luffy sniffed, his eyes shining and his saliva flowing.

Even though the food wasn't ready yet, he couldn't wait to taste it.

"Yeah, yeah, Xiaoba's takoyaki is the best in the world." Kami praised proudly, helping to load the side dishes with his hands.

"That's it!"

Hearing this, Luffy slammed his hand down on the table and shouted, "I've decided, I want twenty more!"

"Really? That's great, Xiao Ba, the customer wants another twenty servings!"

Kemi's eyes lit up and he shouted excitedly. He didn't expect such a big customer to come. He turned around and said casually:

"Thank you very much for your patronage. Please take it back and give it to your friends. I'm sure they will like it very much."

"Oh, by the way, I wouldn't have thought of that if you hadn't told me. Let's buy some and give them a try, hehe."

Luffy bared his teeth and laughed, then said calmly, "Then I'll give you a hundred copies."

"Great! They will definitely eat a hundred servings!!!"

Kami was so shocked that his eyes popped out and his chin hit the ground.

"Wait a minute! What should I do? I have never done such a big business. Help me, Xiaoba!" Two mosquito coils were spinning in Kimi's eyes.

"What's wrong, Kimi? Are those guys from Makulo here?"

Hearing the cry for help, Xiao Ba subconsciously thought that it was the group of human traffickers who came to cause trouble, and rushed out angrily, "Assholes, I will beat you to the ground!"

Before he finished speaking, he saw Luffy sitting at the bar with a confused look on his face, and his eyes widened, "Straw Hat Boy!!!"

"Hey, who are you? Do you know me?" Luffy's face was full of confusion. He tilted his neck and a question mark appeared in his head.

"You are. I am" Xiao Ba was in a panic, but when he saw Luffy's reaction, he suddenly remembered.

It seemed like the other party had never seen him!
He quickly turned his head to look left and right, and when he didn't see the two familiar figures, Xiao Ba couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

“Huh~~.”

We can't be careless. The Straw Hat Boy is here, and the Black Snake is probably here too, as well as Nami. If we are discovered, we're done for!

"No, no! I don't know you. I just saw your bounty!"

Xiao Ba waved his hands hastily and said nervously: "And that, sorry, sir, we have to make samples today."

"Hey! Wait a minute, Xiao Ba, this is a big client, there are 100 copies!" Kami, who didn't know the truth, hurriedly dissuaded him.

Luffy seemed even more anxious than her. He clapped his hands and shouted, "That's right! I haven't even tasted the world's best octopus dumplings yet!"

Not making money is nothing, but not getting to eat delicious takoyaki is a big deal!

pat!

A blond figure suddenly jumped down, and Reiner walked up to the bar and sat down, "What's the matter, Luffy, I've been waiting for you for a long time."

"--hiss!"

When he saw Reiner coming, Xiao Ba took a deep breath and the two looked at each other in silence for a while.

Could it be that he didn't recognize me?
Seeing that the other party didn't speak, Xiao Ba couldn't help but think of a chance, after all, he had shown six hands when they met before.

This time I wore thick clothes and hid all four arms. After such a long time, the other party probably forgot about it.

Fortunately, the gunshot wound on his back still hurts a little. Apart from Nami, the man he is most afraid of meeting is this man.

However, before he could let go of his worry.

"You're still alive, octopus."

"I recognized it!!!" Xiao Ba screamed with his eyes wide open.

Luffy and Camie on the side were obviously a little confused.

"What's wrong, do you know them, Xiaoba?" Kami spoke with some concern. Xiaoba seemed to be behaving a little strangely.

Especially when the blond man came, Xiao Ba was so scared that he seemed to have lost his soul.

"He is Arlong's subordinate, the purple-skinned monster in Nami's hometown." Reiner-Arlong explained to Luffy at the bar.

"Ah, they are his men."

Luffy suddenly realized what was going on after hammering his palm, then turned to look at Hachi with an angry face, "Then I won't eat his takoyaki, just beat this bastard away."

Reiner didn't give the other party a good look either.

When he heard that a fight was about to take place, Xiao Ba hurriedly hid Kemi behind him:
"Wait a minute! Everything that happened before was my fault. You can take revenge however you want, but Kimi is innocent. Please don't hurt her."

"Little starling! How could this happen!"

Kimi panicked, rushed into the kitchen and got a kitchen knife, pointed the tip of the knife at them with shaking hands, and cried out in tears,

"You bad guys! You are not allowed to hurt the little starling!"

"Wait a minute, Kimi, it's not like that. You should leave here quickly. I made a mistake before and I don't want to implicate you." Xiao Ba hurriedly stood in front of her.

Reiner ignored their noise, but Luffy was in a dilemma, he turned his head and frowned:

"They don't look like bad guys. You got the right people, didn't you, Reiner?"

"He has already admitted it, and you still ask me if I am wrong." Reiner looked at Luffy with dead fish eyes.

"I'm talking to you two."

Behind him, Nami jumped off the Merry, walked up to him, grabbed his ear, and said unhappily:
"I asked you to call Luffy, but you two ended up messing around together, right?"

"Nami."

Before he could open his mouth to explain, Xiao Ba called her first.

Hearing the voice, Nami looked past Reiner, and the moment she saw him, her face sank, "Hachi."

A moment later, on the central deck of the Merry.

“This takoyaki is delicious!”

“Perfect match with Coke!”

"Hiccup~~"

"It's great that everyone likes it." Xiao Ba, who had a big bump on his head, scratched his face with one hand and grinned foolishly, while he used the other five hands to quickly flip the meatballs. Beside him, Kami was helping him.

Unlike his previous outfit, Xiao Ba has taken off his thick coat.

Kemi was not wearing a long skirt either, but instead revealed her slender tail fin and was busy with her work, smiling.

Sanji has completely lost himself in his fantasy of mermaids.

At Kimi's request for mercy, Nami did not pursue the matter of Xiaoba any further.

She hated Arlong and everyone in the Arlong Pirates, but she didn't hate the entire race of fishmen because of that.

Nami has always been calm and kind. Seeing that Xiaoba truly repented, she didn't want to hold on to the past anymore.

In the shade of a tree in the corner of the lawn, Reiner sat cross-legged, leaning against the tree trunk, and said calmly, "Are you really okay?"

"Don't worry, although Xiao Ba did bad things with A-Long, you taught him a lesson for me."

Nami was kneeling beside him with a piece of takoyaki in her hand. She swallowed the food in her mouth and smiled softly, "The pain in my heart has already been healed by everyone."

"and"

Nami curled up the corners of her mouth to reveal a shallow dimple, picked up a ball with a bamboo stick and handed it to Reiner's mouth, "Takoyaki is really delicious, give it a try."

Reiner looked at her without saying anything, then smiled gently, lowered his head and bit off the meatball that was brought to his mouth, and continued to lean back against the tree trunk.

"Yeah, it's really delicious. Let Sanji ask him for the recipe."

"Hehe, I have already stolen it from his ship."

Nami stuck out her tongue, "My tricks haven't finished yet."

"Is it."

Reiner swallowed his food and looked at her seriously. "I'll test it tonight and find out."

Nami understood his implication and was not shy. Instead, she leaned close to his ear with a sly smile and said softly:

"Number seventy trees is the hotel street. I'm afraid you won't be able to get out of bed tomorrow morning."

"You should be afraid that you won't get any sleep tonight."

After a while, everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, and the Merry docked.

Xiao Ba knew that they were looking for a coating master and offered to lead the way.

Although this island discriminates against murlocs, he still disguises himself and goes to the island from time to time. He is considered half a local and is familiar with the place.

Luffy agreed without thinking.

"Kami, you'd better go back first. It's too dangerous to go to the island." Xiao Ba advised her worriedly.

".But!"

Kimi lowered her head, looking somewhat reluctant, and said weakly: "As long as I put on a skirt..."

"No, Kimi, you know the situation here!" Xiao Ba became stern.

Luffy shouted angrily, "What are you doing, Hachi! Why don't you let her go to the island!"

"That's right! Sister Kemi is not happy anymore!"

A ball of anger was burning behind Sanji, and he pointed at Hachi and bared his teeth and cursed:

"Stinky octopus, apologize to my sister Kemi now, or I'll make you into takoyaki!"

“It’s because of the human traffickers.”

Reiner naturally knew the situation of the island, and he comforted her, "It's okay, Kemi. If you want to go to the island, go ahead. I'll just watch over you."

There was only one person on the entire island who could capture someone right under his nose, and it was clear that person had nothing to worry about.

Any human trafficker who dares to walk past him will be slapped twice in the face and then have his limbs broken before he is forced to crawl off the island.

"That's right! No matter what danger there is, we will protect you!" Luffy crossed his arms in front of his chest and nodded with great confidence.

"Is it really possible!"

Camie instantly cupped his hands in excitement, his bright eyes flashing with happy expectations, "Thank you, Luffy, Reiner."

Under the condemnation of everyone, Xiao Ba finally gave in.

Kami put on a long skirt to cover her tail fin, and with a little disguise, she went onto the island with them.

The moment the Straw Hat Pirates landed, the entire Sabaody Archipelago rioted for them.

"The Straw Hat Pirates, one, two..."

Above an Argiman mangrove tree, a man wearing an eye patch and carrying a sword and axe on his waist stood on a branch, his eyes fixed on a group of people who had just set foot on the island.

"Five members with bounties of over 100 million have landed, plus the nine people on the island, a total of fourteen people. It's a rare scene." Chiqi Drake murmured.

At the door of a western restaurant on the commercial street, a group of people in suits and ties, looking like mafia gangsters, were walking in.

"Godfather, I just received news that the group has landed on the island."

One of the men bent down and whispered in the ear of a man wearing a black and white striped suit and a cigar in his mouth.

"We're finally here. The total bounty of our group is comparable to that of the super rookies of the other eight pirate groups."

Capone Becky walked into the restaurant expressionlessly and said in a deep voice, "Keep quiet while eating. We'll talk later."

Shortly after he led his men into the restaurant, another group of people walked down the street.

Wherever he went, all the civilians looked away and dared not look at him, for fear of avoiding him.

"Tch, that's really boring."

A man with sunglasses on his red hedgehog head and a dark red fur coat sneered.

Eustace Kidd walked with an arrogant step, looking at the two bounty warrants in his hands, a burning look in his eyes.

"Kid, you don't want to do anything to them."

From behind him, a warrior wearing a blue and white mask and revealing wild golden hair spoke in a low voice.

"I'm not the only one interested in them on this island now. What's wrong, Kira? Don't you think this is interesting?"

Kidd raised the corner of his mouth, put one hand on the pistol on his waist, and sneered: "As an appetizer before entering the New World to challenge the Four Emperors, try the water content of this Twin Stars."

"Oh, it looks like there's something exciting to watch."

At this moment, a cold laugh coming from the roadside caught Kidd's attention. He looked in the direction of the sound and saw a man wearing a white fur hat with black spots sitting on a wooden box by the roadside.

The other man was sitting with his legs crossed, holding a long knife against his shoulder. Several men in white and wearing baseball caps were standing behind him.

The man raised his head, a cruel smile on his face beneath the brim of his hat. "I've seen news about you in the newspapers every day along the way, Master Eustace."

"Do you want to play too, Surgeon of Death, Trafalgar Law?" Kidd grinned dangerously.
