Pirate: I broke Akainu's defense with a bucket of water.

"Even if I took out five million, I couldn't buy a decent boat."

"Well...that's true. How about we go and ask the lady there for help? Will she give us a ship?" Luffy replied with a smile.

Nami helplessly held her forehead.

Although they met in Orange Town, she could still see that Luffy was a kind guy, which was the main reason why she followed him. If he were an ordinary pirate, she would have stolen the treasure and run away long ago.

After hearing Luffy's proposal, Zoro laughed out loud: "Maybe it's possible. Isn't Usopp in there now? Seeing that they have such a good relationship, he should agree."

"Want to go take a look?" Luffy suggested.

Zoro stood up.

Nami rolled her eyes at this.

Don’t these two guys know what propriety, righteousness, integrity and shame are?

"Haven't you thought of any other way?"

"Oh? Nami, do you have a solution?"

"That Alrita was once a pirate, right?"

"Um"

"They don't become pirates anymore. Do you think we should just buy their ships?" Nami showed the expression of a profiteer. When it comes to bargaining, she still thinks she is very capable.

And looking at the appearance of those three people, except for Alrita, the others seem to be easy to fool, especially the one named Cheng Lang, who is obviously a fat sheep.

After all, he paid the bill so quickly and didn't even ask the boss for change, so he must be very rich!

Considering the relationship between Alrita and Luffy, maybe she could be persuaded by appealing to her emotions.

"Of course, let's agree on it in advance! I can advance the funds, and you must pay me back when you have money." Nami suggested with a smile.

Luffy thought about it and hesitated: "Maybe it's not good."

Seeing Luffy's hesitation, Nami was confused. You shamelessly asked someone you had no connections with for a boat, but those who did have connections were embarrassed?!

What's happening here?

And Zoro seemed to have matched Luffy's brainwaves: "It's indeed inappropriate."

"Huh? They don't plan to be pirates anymore, so why keep the pirate ship? And if nothing unexpected happens, they will go to the 153rd branch to find Coby later, so we can just go there at the convenience of our time." Nami thought what she said was right.

It is actually quite difficult to sell a pirate ship in the East China Sea, the weakest sea. It is not that there is no buyer, but it is difficult to find a buyer for pirates.

If you are not a pirate, the purchase price will be much lower.

If it is sold to an ordinary ship dealer, the price will be discounted after knowing that it was once a pirate ship.

If the ship traffickers were more ruthless and reported the matter directly to the navy, they would not only lose their ship but also be arrested by the navy.

After all, this kind of thing happens frequently in the East China Sea.

"After all, they just said they weren't sure whether they would accept the job. What if they were just talking? Besides, didn't Cheng Lang say he wanted to go to Rogue Town to take a look? If we buy their boat, how will they sail it?"

"I wouldn't mind giving them our two boats."

"What do you mean, Luffy?"

Zoro looked at Luffy, waiting for the captain's orders.

"Then let's go find Cheng Lang and the others first. Usopp won't run away anyway." Luffy gave his own answer.

Obviously there is no ship that can sail long distances, so Luffy has to make a choice.

"I saw them going that way just now." Zoro naturally began to point the way.

Luffy didn't doubt it, and Nami and Zoro didn't spend much time together. Although she felt a little strange, she didn't doubt it. After all, with such a confident tone, there must be no problem.

Two hours passed quietly.

The three of them returned to the village entrance where they started.

Nami rolled her eyes: "If you don't know the way, what direction are you pointing to?"

Zoro scratched his head and said nothing.

Luffy burst into laughter, unable to stop smiling.

At this moment, Usopp was walking on the street with a dejected look on his face.

Seeing this, Luffy asked curiously, "What happened? Did you have a fight with the young lady?"

Usopp shook his head, but finally nodded, and gave the three of them a brief account of what had happened.

Because there was no Luffy and the other two to interfere, Usopp was ready to run away the moment he noticed Kuro.

This has become his habit over the years.

But this time, Clo acted out of character. In the past, he would just scold her and tell her not to come to see Kaya.

But I don’t know if I took the wrong medicine just now.

He kept scolding him, saying that he was a well-known liar. Of course, the most important thing was that the other party also insulted his mother and father, which he could not tolerate.

He started arguing with Clo.

Of course he couldn't help but hit Clo in front of Kaya.

In the end, he was driven away by Kaya.

That's why he was so depressed.

Is there anything worse than being chased away by the girl you like?

Yes, because of other men, I was driven away.

Chapter 23 144 is not Luffy’s limit.

Under the double strike BUFF, Usopp was unable to recover.

Then he was taken by Luffy and his crew to Cheng Lang's ship.

Luffy looked at Cheng Lang’s big ship and shouted, “This country is number one.”

You can actually plant trees on a boat! And these trees are so strangely square.

He wasn't the only one curious.

The others also looked around, as Cheng Lang's boat style was really too weird.

Usopp, who was in a depressed mood, was no longer depressed at this moment. He touched a vine on the deck.

"What kind of plant is this? It looks so weird."

"Pumpkin vine." Cheng Lang replied with a smile.

"Ah? A vine this thick that can stand up without a frame is a pumpkin vine?" Usopp was stunned. He was not a person who didn't know the difference between grains. He was still alive until now, not because of the help from the villagers. He also farmed.

Pumpkins have naturally been grown as well.

It can't be like this.

It also seems to be proving itself to be a pumpkin vine.

biu

The vine bends and produces a large square pumpkin.

This scene made everyone stunned.

Judging from the texture, it could be a pumpkin, but it's also impossible to be a pumpkin.

Cheng Lang took out an axe and chopped the pumpkin.

"?!"

"Eh!? Such a big pumpkin?" Luffy looked at the pumpkin that merged into Cheng Lang's body in surprise, it was unbelievable.

"You are also a person with special abilities?!"

Everyone except Zoro was shocked.

It was already strange that Luffy was a rubber man, and then he met Buggy, and then he met Alrita. Fortunately, it was all easy to understand and within the scope of understanding.

But now Cheng Lang's ability makes everyone exclaim in disbelief.

This square tree and special pumpkin.

"Yes, some special abilities." Cheng Lang nodded with a smile.

Others marveled at the magic of the devil fruit.

Cheng Lang took out a basket of chacha fruits and said, "Hmm, have some fruit."

"This is.."

"Chacha fruit."

"It's so sweet, not sour, this chacha fruit." Usopp was surprised.

The Cha Cha fruit in your hand is very similar to an apple, but if it is a normal Cha Cha fruit, it is a bit like a gourd in shape, and it is very crispy when eaten. It can be stored on the ship for a long time, but the Cha Cha fruit will often start to become sour after three days.

But it is a good choice for making fruit wine.

This is also the fruit that many pirates will buy when they go out to sea. It can be stored for a long time, eaten, used to make wine, and can be used as portable food to satisfy hunger and supplement vitamin C after being dried.

Everyone started eating without saying anything.

"It's so sweet!" Nami took two bites and sighed, then quickly finished it. After finishing, she was surprised: "There is no core, full of flesh. What kind of new variety is this? If I can sell it, it will definitely make a lot of money."

As Nami's family sells oranges, she is well aware of the value of the chacha fruit.

But Luffy ignored all that and started eating one by one without stopping.

Until, under Kuya Mi's shocked gaze, all the more than 30 pieces in the basket were eaten up.

Before he could speak.

"If you want more, I'll make sure you're full." Cheng Lang smiled and took out a basket.

Luffy didn't hesitate and said thank you before continuing to eat.

Then an expression of shock appeared on Alrita's face.

Zoro was curious about this: "What's wrong?"

The two of them had seen Luffy's appetite. To be honest, this amount of apples looked like a lot, but most of the fruit was water, so it wouldn't take up much space in the stomach after eating.

So why are you so shocked now?

Cheng Lang was counting: "One hundred and forty-four."

Luffy stopped eating and patted his stomach. He was confused. Did he have a poor appetite today? Why did he feel full?

"Hiss..." Alrita gasped.

She finally understood the gap between herself and Luffy. She could only eat more than 30 pieces, which was her limit. And that was after being hungry for a day.

You have to know that Luffy had just eaten a meal and his stomach was so full, which means that 144 is not Luffy's limit.

"What's wrong with you?" Usopp asked in confusion.

Cheng Lang had no intention of hiding anything: "This fruit was created because of my ability, so it has certain special properties. It's a special food that can directly provide energy to people. Did you feel a strong sense of fullness after eating it just now?"

"Now that you mention it... Indeed, I felt full after eating one." Usopp rubbed his stomach. He had already eaten a lot and thought he was too full before, so he didn't pay much attention to it. Now he realized the magic of the fruit.

Zoro picked up another one and ate it, then his eyes lit up: "Indeed."

Then everyone looked at Luffy in surprise.

"You're full, but you can still eat one hundred and forty-four of them?! You're not full at all, right?" Nami looked at Luffy in disbelief, and once again felt his monstrous physique.

One hundred and forty-four! Even if it wasn't a special fruit, Nami believed she couldn't finish it.

"I feel more energetic after eating!" Luffy jumped up and down excitedly. He was in great spirits at the moment!

"Tsk tsk, worthy of being Nika?"

Cheng Lang couldn't help but sigh.

"What?" Luffy tilted his head in confusion.
