Zhu Tian: Starting from the Stand User

Chapter 257 Demon Valley Town

Following the guidance of the compass, Lu Chen landed in the Demon Valley Town under the Sky Island.

Lu Chen decided to rest here for a few days before going up to look for the Thunder Fruit. At this time, Enelu had just been born, so there was no rush to go looking for the Thunder Fruit.

Mogu Town is a town built by pirates. There is no trace of the World Government here. There is no king or navy, only a group of lawless pirates.

Therefore, the buildings here are built randomly, and it is very likely that the owner of the store is not its original owner.

Lu Chen walked alone into the tavern that was said to make exquisite cherry pie.

Inside, all kinds of ferocious-looking pirates were drinking, and they didn't pay attention to whether anyone entered the tavern. No navy would come to this place, so they thought it was safe.

Pushing aside the stool next to the bar, Lu Chen sat on it.

Then he threw out a few bills and said, "Give me a piece of cherry pie."

The bartender was a very young guy, he brought down a cherry pie from the side table. It seemed that this dish was a hot seller here.

At this time, a pirate who looked like he hadn't drunk much at the bar next to him looked over curiously.

For ordinary pirates, bullying the weak and fearing the strong is a good virtue that every pirate should have. Lu Chen does not look like a powerful figure. In the world of One Piece, he is short in height, does not look fierce enough, and does not have exaggerated weapons.

So it was as if Lu Chen had the words "I am a fat sheep" written on his face, so the pirate prepared to blackmail Lu Chen.

However, he felt that Lu Chen looked familiar, as if he had seen this face somewhere before, perhaps on a bounty warrant.

So he started flipping through the bounty notices on the bar next to him. Although this was a place built by pirates, the bounty could also prove a pirate's identity.

He soon discovered a captivating bounty. Normally, a bounty of that magnitude wouldn't appear here. Such prominent figures only appeared in gossip. Now, the sudden appearance of a real person frightened the pirate.

At the same time, the moment he took out the bounty order, he was extremely grateful for his caution. If he had provoked such a big pirate, he would have been killed easily.

For a moment, cold sweat flowed down his forehead.

The most powerful pirate here only has a bounty of 2000 million berries, which is not even a fraction of Lu Chen's.

The pirate's companions noticed his abnormality and asked directly, "What's wrong with you? Did you drink too much and become stupid?"

The pirate pointed at Lu Chen cautiously, then lowered his voice and said to his companions: "This is a big pirate with a bounty of 10 billion, so you all should be careful." After that, he handed the bounty order in his hand to everyone.

Everyone couldn't help but feel scared, as there was more than one person who was thinking of blackmailing.

Lu Chen was aware of these actions. They thought their movements were minor, but to Lu Chen, they were significant enough. Their cautious words were like loud announcements.

But he had no intention of doing anything. Someone who could become a pirate naturally couldn't have high personal qualities.

Lu Chen picked up the cherry pie and tasted it. It can only be said that everyone has their own preferences for taste. This cherry pie is definitely not bad. As a dessert, it is still very good.

So if Blackbeard is actually a sweet fan, then Luffy, who loves meat, must be a salty fan. So, the conflict between Nika's reincarnation and the Son of Darkness is essentially a dispute between the sweet and salty parties. That's not a big deal, as long as they're not arguing about tofu pudding.

At this time, a group of pirates knelt in front of Lu Chen and said, "Boss, we have always been your fans. Please accept us as your brothers."

They have no moral integrity. If they can get along with a boss of this level, I am afraid no one will dare to provoke them.

Lu Chen put away his wild thoughts. Of course, he would not accept this group's request, and he would not look for such a jerk when recruiting a younger brother.

"I won't accept you as my younger brothers. I know what you were planning before."

As soon as these words were uttered, the pirates were terrified that the man in front of them was going to bring up what had happened just now.

"Boss, we absolutely don't have such thoughts. We have always wanted to become subordinates of a great pirate like you. Please accept me."

"I won't kill you, but I hope you won't seek death yourself."

So he quickly changed the subject and said, "What brings you to a small place like ours? A big shot like you definitely needs someone to run errands for you."

Lu Chen casually explained: "I am going to go to Sky Island, and I plan to rest here before that."

After hearing this answer, the pirates thought that the Sky Island was nonsense, but they did not dare to refute it in front of Lu Chen. Even if Lu Chen said that there was a goldfish that could swallow the island, they would not dare to refute it.

So everyone echoed, "Boss, you will definitely be able to find the Sky Island."

"Yes! We have always had legends about Sky Island here."

Then there was constant agreement.

After hearing what Lu Chen said, a young man with a chestnut hair stood up and said, "You have always thought I was lying. How could you not dare to laugh at such a big shot after he said that?"

Mont Blanc Coulicet is the descendant of the big talker Mont Blanc Nolando, and now he is just a servant helping out in the hotel.

He always believed that his ancestors did not lie, so he kept telling the pirates here about the existence of Sky Island. However, these pirates thought Kulikate was lying and often used this incident to mock him.

Now he stood up to refute these pirates.

The innkeeper recognized Lu Chen as a pirate with a bounty exceeding one billion the moment he entered. However, as a seasoned innkeeper, he realized that feigning ignorance was the best option in this situation. Kulikate's actions were simply drawing hatred for himself. Lu Chen would eventually leave. These pirates, however, would likely remain here as long as they survived.

Kulikate asked excitedly, "You will definitely prove to others that Sky Island exists, right?"

Lu Chen would not agree to this idea. He planned to fly away directly after finding the Thunder Fruit.

"I won't help you prove to them that Sky Island exists. If you want to prove it, then find a way to go there and see for yourself. Maybe in a few years, a pirate group will land on Sky Island again. If you show enough awareness, they might take you with them."
