He stepped on one of the exploding apples, smashing it to pieces.

Burgess: "..."

PoisonQ: "..."

"I said……"

Burgess swallowed hard, forcing a smile, and said, "If you just step on these apples, they won't explode, will they?"

He still harbored unrealistic expectations, but Doc Q's next words made him face reality:

"It will explode as soon as it is damaged..."

DocQ was desperate: "And there will be a chain reaction, they'll all explode together!!"

"An explosion..."

Looking at the exploding apples scattered around his feet, Burgess couldn't help but feel a chill rise from his feet to his head.

"You bastard!"

He said angrily, "Why make something so dangerous..."

boom! !

[Thank you so much to '上善若水' for the incredible donation of 10,000 RMB! Thank you!!!]

Chapter 140's encounter with Blackbeard!! There's no point in talking to a guy who killed his own comrades!

Before he could finish speaking, a white light enveloped the sky.

Immediately afterwards, the other exploding apples also emitted bursts of white light.

boom! boom! boom!

The continuous explosions echoed through the streets.

Compared to the continuous misfortunes suffered by Doc Q and Burgess, Link's journey has been remarkably smooth.

Especially Link, who has picked up countless good things along the way.

He even encountered all sorts of beautiful women on the street who tried to chat him up or had chance encounters with him.

But with Robin and Nami, two beauties who can be both elegant and sweet, all other beauties are just fleeting clouds to Link!

And so, the group arrived at the largest bar in Magic Valley Town.

When they arrived, they were inside a large hotel in a tropical rainforest.

"Has another group of pirates landed?"

A man dressed in a snow-white coat, with loose light blue hair, wearing a large gold chain and purple sunglasses, and carrying a Nepalese machete on his back, was holding two bounty posters in his hand.

"The captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, Luffy, has a bounty of 44 million Berries."

"As a pirate who came from the weakest sea in the East Blue, his bounty is quite good."

The man grinned, revealing his thick lips, and laughed loudly, "But what's unexpected is that this guy's first mate has a higher bounty than him."

He held up Link's bounty poster: "First Mate [Props Master] Link, bounty of 55 million Berries!!"

"That's the same height as you, Bellamy!!!"

The man with the thick gold chain joked with the man next to him who had messy blond hair that looked like a golden retriever's fur:

"Maybe this man is even better than you, Bellamy, hahaha!!"

At this point, the man with the big gold chain burst into laughter.

The other men and women next to him, who seemed to be from the same pirate crew, were all laughing along with him.

The scene was exceptionally lively.

"It's just that there aren't any powerful pirates in the East Blue, so these guys just managed to pick up the scraps."

The man called Bellamy, with a long scar on his left eye, looked up and licked his lips.

"I've been resting for the past two days, but haven't encountered any suitable prey."

He slowly got up, and picked up the blue coat from the sofa next to him and draped it over his shoulders.

"This group is perfect! Hahaha!"

A smile, like that of a hyena, spread across his face as if he had spotted a prime prey.

"Yes, that's a pretty good prey..."

The man with the thick gold chain, who was also the vice-captain of the Bellamy Pirates, Sakis, picked up the bottle and took a swig:

"And they're so special, even the vice-captain's bounty is higher than the captain's. What kind of pirate crew is this?"

Looking at Luffy's cheerful smile in the wanted poster photo, he couldn't help but smile sarcastically.

"They're just those childish pirate crews who haven't woken up yet."

"Let's help them recognize the harshness of this reality!!"

Bellamy walked out of the restaurant first, and a group of people immediately followed behind him.

Get ready, let's go see the show outside.

After the group of people had walked away from the restaurant, the owner reluctantly poked his head out and ordered the waiter to clean up the mess they had left behind.

There was no way around it; as the most formidable and highest-bounty pirate group on the island, even the boss couldn't afford to mess with them.

"But how many days ago are these bounty posters?"

The boss grumbled as he picked up the bounty poster that the group had carelessly tossed aside on the ground.

"The latest bounty poster should be coming soon, right? Seriously, as an island where pirates gather, even the mail-bearer gulls rarely come here."

"It's so difficult to see live news like this..."

Leaving aside the owner's frustration and troubles, Link, Luffy, and the others successfully entered the tavern.

"Wow, it's quite lively here!!"

As soon as I pushed open the door, I was immediately hit by a strong sense of noisy drinking party atmosphere.

Numerous pirates were drinking and chatting there, creating quite a lively scene.

"With so many people, surely someone should know something about Sky Island, right?"

Nami was looking around when Luffy suddenly dashed to the bar.

"Boss, I want meat, meat!!"

Luffy sat there smiling, constantly urging him on with anticipation.

"I see."

The enthusiastic shop owner, with a thick beard, greeted us with a smile, "Have some of this to fill your stomach first."

As he spoke, he brought over two plates of cherry pies and two drinks.

One plate was placed in front of Luffy, and the other was placed in front of the guest next to Luffy.

"Thank you so much, sir!!"

Luffy, who never refuses food, grinned happily and stuffed the cherry pie into his mouth.

I'll bring the meat up for you right away.

Then~

"Hey! Uncle!!"

Luffy's face turned unusually pale as he slammed his fists on the table.

"This cherry pie is absolutely awful!!"

"This cherry pie is absolutely delicious!!"

Luffy and the guest next to him simultaneously uttered both complaints and praises.

Luffy:"???"

The person next to him: "???"

The two of them simultaneously raised their bulging cheeks, looked at each other, and then picked up their drinks again and took a big gulp.

"ah?!"

Another cry, filled with both joy and sorrow, followed.

"Uncle, this drink is so delicious!!"

"Boss, how can there be such a awful drink?!"

Luffy and the person next to him simultaneously uttered praise and complaints.

The two: "...!!!!"

"Is there something wrong with your tongue?!"

The man next to him glared at him unfriendly, his mouth, missing countless white teeth, grumbling.

"I think it's you who's got something wrong with your head!!"

Luffy, unusually, cursed in frustration.

He rarely gets into arguments or fights with people like this.

"Anyway, I'm not a chef, so it doesn't matter what you say."

The boss was quite easygoing and, adhering to the principle of "the less trouble, the better," tried his best to defuse the tension between the two.

After all, if a fight breaks out, it will be his own shop that gets damaged.

Since the boss had already said that, Luffy just pursed his lips and decided not to argue anymore.

"Hey, sir, I need to pack fifty portions of meat to take home."

"Boss, I want to buy 51 cherry pies."

The customer next to him, who had a missing tooth and thick lips, also grinned.

Luffy: "...Wait a minute, I need to change my meat portion to fifty-two!!"

"Sorry, I've changed my cherry pie order to fifty-three servings!!"

"No, there are fifty-four portions of meat!!"

"Fifty-four cherry pies!!"

"Sixty servings of meat!" "Seventy servings of cherry pie!" "Then I'll have eighty servings!" "Ninety servings!" "Then I'll have one hundred!!"

*Smack?!*

Luffy stomped his foot on the bar counter, and the other person rolled up their sleeves. Both of them rolled their eyes and bared their sharp teeth, roaring at each other:

"Are you deliberately trying to go against me?!"

Why do you all have to argue about something like this?!

Zoro walked over, looking speechless.

Nami also sighed and moved closer, saying, "We don't lack food on our ship, why did you buy so many portions of meat?!"

"Besides, our most important task right now is to find out information about the next island, not for you to mess around here!!"

First Zoro, then Nami—their expressions and tones made the thick-lipped, toothless customer confronting Luffy sizing him up before giving him a provocative smile.

"Looks like you're a pirate?!"

"That's right!!"

Luffy glared back defiantly.

"How much is the reward?!"

The man raised an eyebrow and asked.

He figured this should hit a nerve with the skinny guy in front of him, since judging by his appearance, a bounty of ten or twenty million would be enough for him at most.

"One hundred and twenty million!!!"

To everyone's surprise, after hearing the question, Luffy immediately straightened his back and puffed out his chest, saying with great pride.
