Luffy, how can you become the Pirate King if you don't work hard!

I learned about the Vinsmoke family when we were fighting against the Big Mom family to resolve Sanji's engagement.

Although the Vinsmoke family is a force in the underworld, their military strength is enough to deter most pirates.

It is a rare mobile kingdom at sea.

Reiju smiled. "This place isn't far from Germa Kingdom's mobile territory. If something really happens on the island, Germa's fleet can get there within half a day."

The girls immediately perked up.

"Shopping, shopping, shopping!" Nami's shopping spirit couldn't be contained any longer.

Robin closed the book. "Could there be historical relics here?"

"This is the time to buy pretty clothes!" Vivi clapped her hands.

Hancock wasn't particularly interested in these things at first, but when she heard the words "pretty clothes," her eyes flickered subtly, and then Nami very naturally pulled her into the girls' discussion.

"Hancock, come along too. There's bound to be something that suits you on the island."

"This humble servant..." Hancock originally wanted to go with Luffy, but after hearing certain keywords, she hesitated for half a second and decided to go with the girls.

Luffy's expression darkened.

Oh no, this might not be aimed at me.

Not long after, the Thousand Sunny slowly docked and moored in a spacious berth.

The women were significantly more enthusiastic than the men.

Nami had already pulled out an island map she'd gotten from who-knows-where, and circled several red circles on it, supposedly for discount shops and luxury stores.

Luffy could already smell the aroma wafting from afar, and his legs moved in that direction without him even realizing it.

Reiju, who had been following Luffy and his crew the whole time, couldn't help but smile with a mix of helplessness and indulgence as she looked at him. "Luffy, is your stomach connected to another dimension?"

"Hehehe, it's connected to the Pirate King's stomach!"

"Even the Pirate King wouldn't have such a big stomach," Reiju said with a smile, shaking her head.

They walked along the main street of the dock.

The buildings on both sides of the street have a unified style, with white walls and blue roofs, giving the overall impression of being clean and stylish.

The shops lining the street are packed together, selling everything from dried seafood to handicrafts, from fabrics and silks to gemstone jewelry.

Finding a dessert shop is like discovering a treasure trove.

"Boss, give me one of each of these, this one, and this one!"

Of all things under heaven, eating is the most important.

Luffy never neglects his stomach.

The shop owner, a kind, elderly man, smiled and replied upon seeing Luffy's expression, "Alright, alright, young man, you have quite the appetite, but the money..."

Reiju stepped forward at the opportune moment, took out a black card from her pocket and handed it over, "Use this."

The boss's expression changed slightly when he saw the card.

The card serves as proof of identity; you can have anything you want on this island.

She looked up at Reiju, then quickly and respectfully lowered her head. "Yes, Miss, you're back."

"I'm just passing by, no need to make a fuss."

Luffy, already stuffing honey cake into his mouth from a huge paper bag, mumbled, "Is he one of the Vinsmoke?"

"He's one of the property managers on this island; I've met him once or twice before."

Luffy couldn't help but mutter to himself as he looked at the boss's eyes.

Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I'm being kept by a sugar daddy?

Chapter 611 Naval Deployment, Stussy's Plea for Help

"Eat as much as you like, it's on me."

Reiju said this without any fear that Luffy's stomach would swallow everything on the entire island.

However, even if her father knew, he probably wouldn't care much.

If such an opportunity could be bought with money, many people in the New World would be scrambling to get it.

"Thank you then."

Luffy didn't ask any questions and just stuffed them all into his mouth.

Reiju stood beside him, watching him wolf down his food, and the corners of her mouth unconsciously curved into a smile.

She suddenly felt a pang of emotion.

This island is indeed her family's property. She has been fighting here since she was a child, but she has rarely stayed here. For her, who has no feelings for it, eating is just a matter of satisfying her appetite. What she likes most is poison.

but......

"Reiju, come and try it. Your family's desserts are pretty good."

Luffy had already devoured most of the bag of honey cake, but he still held up a piece and offered it to her.

Reiju paused for a moment, then reached out and took it.

"Yes. Thank you."

She took a bite.

The sweetness of honey melts on the tip of the tongue, warm and smooth.

It seems that there's no difference between sweets and poisonous food; they're both quite delicious.

Looking at Luffy, who was enjoying his meal, she couldn't help but sigh, "Ordinary people would just think you're wealthy passersby. Who would have thought you'd be the Four Emperors' pirate crew, renowned throughout the seas?"

"That's true."

A series of loud laughs came from not far away. Luffy, with a piece of cake still stuffed in his mouth, turned around and saw a person wearing a black suit and with a bird's head walking towards him.

Devil Fruit user?

Zoro drew his sword the instant the voice rang out. A flash of cold light appeared, and the icy blade stopped less than an inch in front of the bird-headed man.

"Gah gah gah... No, no, no! I didn't come here to fight!"

The bird-headed man quickly raised his hands, his voice tinged with panic, "I'm here to deliver intelligence, all of it important intelligence!"

He quickly revealed his identity.

Morgans, president of the World Economic Herald, one of the dark underground empires.

"Ah, it's you."

Luffy asked, "Is there something you need?"

The two had never met before, but they were quite familiar with each other. Luffy also knew that Vivi had been working at the World Economic Herald for those two years.

Furthermore, Luffy was present during several of Morgans' and Vivi's phone conversations to exchange information.

He also said that the voice sounded so familiar.

After confirming that the other party had no hostile intentions, Zoro slowly sheathed his sword.

Morgans breathed a sigh of relief and slowly walked over. "It's an honor that you still remember me, young man in the straw hat."

Luffy asked, "What are you doing here? If you need to see Vivi, I can call her over, but she's shopping. Unless it's something important that bothers her... she probably won't be in a good mood."

Morgans shuddered. "No need!"

It's clear that Morgans has some psychological trauma regarding Vivi; he might as well just talk to Luffy face to face.

Reiju watched this scene from the side, and the corner of her mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.

Of course she had met Morgans. Back then, her father, Judge, had personally sent someone to invite the newspaper editor to the Kingdom of Germa in order to obtain some important information.

At the time, Morgans sat arrogantly on the sofa with his legs crossed, surrounded by cigar smoke. He showed no weakness in the face of Judge's gaze, and even had a bit of condescending arrogance.

But the Morgans standing in front of Luffy now is completely different from the one he saw before.

Even if you can talk nonsense to people, you still have to be honest with the Four Emperors.

Reiju offered her own guess regarding Morgans's visit to Luffy.

"Has something important happened at sea again?"

Only something like this would excite Morgans, after all, he's a guy whose life goal is to report on major events.

Morgans did not deny it. He cleared his throat and regained some composure. "I came here specifically to see you, Straw Hat Boy."

With cake stuffed in his mouth, Luffy mumbled a vague "uh."

Morgans glanced to the side, his gaze lingering on Reiju for a moment, before saying, "Could we speak in private?"

"No."

"......"

Morgans wiped his sweat. In some ways, Princess Vivi and this man were indeed a good match.

So he said, "I've come here to tell you some inside information: the navy is making a big move."

After several setbacks, to be honest, the Navy's activities in the New World have shrunk, and it's even become somewhat invisible.

It's mostly the Four Emperors, the pirates, fighting each other; the Navy's presence is very low.

However, once this behemoth is in operation, no one can ignore it.

Currently, there are still places in the New World that would require the Navy to be deployed...

Luffy thought about it and realized that it seemed like only they were left.

So he asked, "The Navy is chasing us again? Who's leading the team this time? If it's Akainu, then this time I won't let Kuzan stop him; I'll deal with him myself."

A naval admiral, well, it's not impossible to have a fight.

In Luffy's eyes, the three admirals, Kuzan and the others, are still very valuable, at least much stronger than that Green Bull.
