Sanji was dumbfounded. "You actually have a cook?"
"Is it strange that I have a cook when I'm this capable?" Luo Wei retorted.
Sanji: ...
He didn't know Luo Wei at all, and didn't know how strong Luo Wei was, so he didn't want to talk to him. But the fact that the other party had a cook made him really envious and jealous.
I don't even have a cook, but the other party does.
This is just too enviable!
Sanji now wishes he could kick the guy who was showing off to him to death.
However, considering that the other party was a guest, Sanji ultimately suppressed his impulse, turned around and left. He didn't want to stay with this guy for even a minute longer.
Too bully.
It's just a private chef, I'll have one sooner or later.
After the minor incident, Rowe and Nicole Robin enjoyed a refreshing cold drink at the restaurant, concluding their meal, before boarding a small boat and leaving the floating restaurant, Baratie.
Next stop, Cocosia Village.
He insisted on tasting the oranges from Cocossia Village to see what they actually tasted like.
Nico Robin remained noncommittal, because she simply couldn't understand what was so special about oranges from Cocoyasi Village. If the village's oranges were truly delicious, they would already be famous throughout the East Blue.
Since this wasn't achieved, it means the oranges in this village are just average.
However, since Loe is her boss, Nico Robin naturally wouldn't object to what he wanted to do.
Having navigated this world for so many years, Nico Robin would never do something as absurd as turning the table when the boss serves her food or refusing a toast from the boss.
The two sailed on a small boat, braving the wind and waves, getting closer and closer to Cocosia Village.
However, when they were still a few nautical miles from the village, Rowe and Nico Robin suddenly heard a shout.
"Hey, you two over there, you two over there..."
Nico Robin turned her head and saw a small boat not far away, even smaller than the one she was on. A girl with orange hair was sitting on the boat, waving vigorously at her.
"Boss?"
"Let's go take a look." Luo Wei didn't expect to run into Nami the little thief before he even reached Cocoyasi Village.
Thinking about it carefully, this doesn't seem strange at all, since Nami was originally from Cocoyasi Village.
It's perfectly normal for someone to come to Cocoyasi Village on their own and run into Nami on her way back.
Nico Robin steered the small boat all the way to Nami.
After the two sides approached each other, Nami stood up from her ship and nimbly jumped onto Rowe's ship.
"Good afternoon, you two. If I'm not mistaken, you two are probably heading to Cocoyasi Village, right?"
Nico Robin nodded. "Yes, young lady, may I ask who you are...?"
"My name is Nami, and I guess I'm from Cocoyasi Village."
Nami readily gave her name, then said with a smile, "Gentlemen, I have some top-secret information to sell you. It concerns your safety. I wonder if you're willing to pay a high price for it?"
Nico Robin laughed, "So, Miss Nami is also an information broker..."
"You flatter me. I'm not an information broker; I just know a little bit about things."
Nami held up two fingers and gestured.
Nico Robin said, "Then tell us, if it's really valuable information, we're willing to buy it."
Nami said, "Don't worry, this information of mine is very valuable. How about 100,000 Berries?"
Nico Robin considered for a moment, "100,000 Berries isn't too expensive. Tell me, what kind of information is it?"
When Nami heard Nico Robin say that 100,000 Berries wasn't expensive, she immediately realized she had asked for too little. She should have asked for 200,000, no, 300,000 Berries.
Unfortunately... tsk, I definitely can't let go so easily next time.
After a moment of frustration, Nami said, "Cocoyasi Village is now ruled by a group of fishmen. If you two just go there like this, you are very likely to be captured by the fishmen, extorted, or even have your lives in danger."
"So, is my intelligence worth 100,000 Berries?"
“Is there such a thing?”
Nico Robin glanced at Rowe with some surprise and began to wonder if Rowe knew about this matter. She questioned whether going to eat the oranges in Cocoyasi Village was related to these fishmen.
Luo Wei said, "I already know this information. The fishmen who rule Cocoyasi Village are called Evil Dragons, right?"
Nami's expression changed, and she immediately realized that the two people in front of her were not clueless travelers.
"Who are you people, and what is your relationship with the evil dragon?"
Luo Wei shook his head. "It has nothing to do with me. I just want to eat oranges from Cocoysia Village. Do you have any? I can buy them for you."
"That's all you do when you eat oranges?"
Nami was somewhat surprised. Was this guy talking nonsense? He was becoming more and more suspicious.
Luo Wei nodded. "That's right, just like that. Do you have one?"
Nami glanced at Rowe suspiciously, unsure what he was up to. She cautiously shook her head and said, "I'm not. If you really want oranges, stay here and wait; I can bring you some."
17. Dragon Paradise
Luo Wei waved his hand, declining Nami's suggestion, "There's no need for that. You take us to Cocoyasi Village, we can buy it ourselves."
Nami said, "There's an evil dragon in Cocoyasi Village. Aren't you afraid?"
"Afraid? Why should we be afraid? In the Grand Line, fish-men are usually sold as slaves. Do you think we would be afraid of a group of slaves?"
Aha?
Nami stared at Rowe in disbelief. Fish-men from the Grand Line were being sold as slaves?
This news is outrageous!
Fishmen have ten times the strength of humans, so how could such creatures be sold as slaves?
Seeing Nami's suspicious look, Nico Robin explained to her that since Nami was from a small town, it was understandable that she didn't know the status of Fishman Island.
After Nico Robin's explanation, Nami finally accepted the fact that fish-men were basically synonymous with slavery.
Even so, she still found it somewhat unbelievable.
The fish-men who inflicted incurable childhood trauma on her were, in fact, slaves.
It's truly unimaginable, utterly unthinkable.
But after the initial shock, Nami suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Rowe and Nico Robin, "Since you say fish-men are slaves, can you two agree to Arlong's demands?"
Luo Wei said, "Let's say 19/10."
"What do you mean?" Nami asked, confused. "Are you saying you have a 10% chance, or a 90% chance?"
"What I mean is, if I make a move, the other person will die nine times in a second," Rowe said.
Nami: ...Isn't this a bit too much?
Nami couldn't help but think, "Is this guy just bragging?"
But Nico Robin knew very well that even Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, was no match for Lovi, so what was a mere Arlong?
Dying nine times a second is still a conservative estimate.
Sometimes, our own boss is just a little too modest.
On the other hand, after hesitating for a while, Nami finally decided not to take the risk and said, "Come with me. My family will sell you some oranges. After you buy the oranges, you must leave immediately and make sure that Arlong and his men don't find you, understand?"
Nico Robin was stunned. Arlong had notified the people of Cocoyasi Village, and Nami, as a Cocoyasi Village resident, didn't ask them to eliminate Arlong and his gang.
Could this woman be in league with the evil dragon?
Nico Robin conveyed this idea with her eyes.
Lowe chuckled; in a way, Nico Robin's guess was quite accurate.
Nami and the Arlong Pirates are indeed "in cahoots".
Led by Nami, Luo Wei and his companion arrived at Cocoyasi Village, landing from a secluded corner of the village and heading towards their family's orange grove.
A dozen minutes later, the orange grove came into view.
Looking around, the fruit trees are neatly arranged, with lush branches and leaves, and the branches are laden with fruit, golden and orange, creating a magnificent and beautiful sight.
Nami turned her head and asked, "This is the orange grove in Cocoyasi Village. How many do you want? I'll pick them for you. Take the oranges and leave quickly."
Luo Wei said, "Let me pick one to try first."
Nami nodded, nimbly climbed an orange tree, picked a ripe orange, and tossed it to Rowe.
Luo Wei tore open the peel, moved a segment of orange aside, threw it into his mouth, and took a bite.
It's both sour and sweet, and very juicy.
He took a few bites, then handed the rest of the orange to Nico Robin. Nico Robin took a bite, her eyes lit up, and she said, "Very fresh orange, very juicy, tastes good."
But that's all. Such fruits are everywhere on the Grand Line, so it's only natural that they don't become famous.
Nami stood on the tree, looking down at Rowe.
"Hey, how much do you want to buy?"
Luo Wei shook his head and said, "Forget it."
He only wanted to grow oranges in Changchang Cocosia Village; he didn't intend to buy them in large quantities.
Nami was instantly furious. She jumped down from the tree and stormed up to Rowe. "You bastard, are you kidding me? Didn't you say you wanted to buy oranges from Cocoyasi Village?"
Luo Wei nodded and said with a smile, "I didn't say I wanted to buy a few, right?"
Nami:......
She thought about it carefully, and it seemed that the other party really didn't say how much they wanted to buy.
I realized I'd been tricked.
Nami snorted indignantly and said, "Fine, if you don't want to sell, you can leave now."
All she wanted now was to get those two guys away, as far away as possible.
Lovi gave Nami an approving look. Although she was a greedy little thief, she was a decent person and could be described as kind-hearted.
"How about this, I won't eat your orange for nothing. I ate one of your oranges earlier, and now I'll help you get rid of that evil dragon and his gang, how about that?"
"Aha?"
Nami was startled and looked Rowe up and down. "Are you sure you can handle Evil Dragon and his gang?"
“It’s a guaranteed win.”
"I do not believe."
Nami said irritably, "With his thin arms and legs, Luo Wei doesn't look like a master at all. If he gets killed while attacking the dragon, he will not only lose his life, but also bring disaster to the entire Cocoyasi Village."
Therefore, Nami was reluctant for Rowe to take action at this time, and she preferred to rely on her own efforts.
After all, she has worked hard for so many years and is almost 100 million Berries.
With 513 billion Berries, she could easily buy Cocoyasi Village back from the dragon; there was no need to take such a huge risk.
It's not worth it.
Rowe's eyes flickered, and he quickly guessed Nami's thoughts, but he did not laugh at Nami's naivety. People who work hard should not be ridiculed.
In this matter, Nami was not wrong; the one who was wrong was the fickle dragon who took pleasure in toying with Nami.
This fishman deserves to die.
Luo Wei turned his head, pointed in a certain direction and said, "That should be Dragon Paradise, let's go take a look."
Nico Robin smiled gently and followed Rowe's steps.
The two walked towards Dragon Paradise.
Nami was startled and rushed forward to stop him, but when Rowe snapped his fingers, her body went out of control and she started moving on her own, leading Rowe toward Dragon Paradise.
Nami:......
