Chapter 48

Puh!! ----

When Usopp, who had just appeared on the screen, was knocked down by Luffy's Conqueror's Haki without saying a word, the audience couldn't help but burst into laughter!!

Scratchman Apoo: "Apapapa!! Is that straw hat kid treating Conqueror's Haki as a mark of friendship? As long as they're his teammates, he uses Conqueror's Haki on them first..."

Trafalgar Law: "Hahaha!! I was just about to say that This is hilarious. So far, except for the captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, all the members who have appeared have fallen victim to the captain's Conqueror's Haki..."

Eustass Kid: "But Buggy didn't get hit, right?"

Capone Bege: "So he's still not Luffy's ally, huh..."

Eustass Kid: "..."

Vinsmoke Sanji: "Poor Usopp, he got knocked down right after appearing"

Roronoa Zoro: "Compared to me and Nami, he's definitely unlucky"

Usopp: "Damn it, Zoro, how dare you say that? If it weren't for your lousy idea, Luffy wouldn't have used Conqueror's Haki to knock me out, would he??"

Nami: "Ahahaha!!! That's the Zoro over there, don't blame our Zoro."

Vinsmoke Sanji: "Ah, Nami-chan, don't defend that idiotic moss head"

Roronoa Zoro: "Shut up, stupid curly brow!"

Tony Tony Chopper: "That's so unfortunate. It'll be my turn soon, too. I hope I won't get knocked out as well?"

Vinsmoke Sanji: "Huh? It seems like it's my turn next. I really don't want to look like a fool foaming at the mouth"

Luffy, Zoro, and Buggy walk up the hill and soon see Usopp lying on the ground

Luffy, seeing this, flips Usopp over and places him on the grass in a sleeping position.

They arrive in a small town and start buying supplies.

Because of Luffy, their main purchases are meat...

"Dear customers, our shop has limited supplies, so this is all we can sell to you. I still need to run my business" The restaurant owner hands a large package of cured meat to Luffy with a smile on his face.

Luffy looks at the package of meat and realizes it's not enough for him to eat for three days...

But once the ship sets sail, they'll be drifting at sea for a month!

This little bit of meat won't be enough!

"Dear customers, if you still want to buy a large amount of meat, I can recommend a place to you!"

The shop owner takes a few steps outside and points to the roof of a mansion in the distance, saying, "See that? That's the richest family in our village, and they have abundant resources. You can go ask them if they're willing to sell. You can buy as much as you want."

"That's great! Thank you, uncle"

Upon hearing this news, Luffy is very happy.

He suddenly remembers something and asks, "By the way, uncle. Where can I buy a good ship in this village?"

Their current ship is too small. According to Buggy, it will be smashed by the waves before they even reach the Grand Line.

Although there is a pirate ship from the Black Cat Pirates at the shore, Luffy doesn't want to use a ship from such a notorious pirate crew.

If they use that ship to go out to sea, wouldn't they inexplicably be targeted by Marine's cannons every time they dock at a port?

Even though they haven't done anything wrong, because of that pirate ship, they must bear the crimes committed by the Black Cat Pirates. Isn't that like having yellow mud smeared in their crotch?"

As for the money

He and Zoro only have a little over 3 million berries, while Buggy brought several million berries when he came.

But just now, they confiscated over 10 million berries from the Black Cat Pirates' ship!

With all this money combined, it's enough to buy a decent ship.

"Buy a ship?"

The restaurant owner was slightly stunned, then pointed to that mansion

"That's perfect!"

Hearing this, Luffy happily bid farewell to the restaurant owner.

The three of them walked to the front of the mansion.

Buggy patted the large bag of money on his back and frowned, saying, "Why do we have to bring so much money with us? If we want a ship, why don't we just steal one?"

Luffy and Zoro both looked at Buggy at the same time!

"Cough cough..."

With a twitch at the corner of his mouth, Buggy coughed twice guiltily, then looked away.

Kaya's parents were in business and were naturally delighted to receive customers when they heard that someone wanted to purchase a large amount of meat.

Accompanied by several servants, Kaya's father smiled and greeted Luffy and the others, "I heard from the gatekeeper that you want to buy meat. So... how much do you need in total?"

Luffy gestured with both hands, "The more, the better! By the way, we also want to buy a bigger ship."

Kaya's father was about to speak, but then he heard the voice of the butler Merry from behind, "Master, Mr. Klahadore, whom you have taken in, has fully recovered. I told him to rest a little longer, but he insisted on coming to thank you immediately."

Subconsciously, everyone looked towards Merry.

Beside Merry stood a refined man. He wore glasses, a black suit, and had a big pompadour hairstyle, giving him the appearance of an honest person

But the moment he saw Buggy, his heart suddenly tightened!!

Damn it!! How could he be here!!!

Buggy also saw Kuro at the same time, and his face was filled with confusion

How did the captain of the Black Cat Pirates end up being taken in by ordinary people?

And he wants to thank them???

Would a notorious pirate who kills people left and right say thank you???

Am I dreaming today or what?

Suddenly, Buggy exclaimed in disbelief, "Kuro? What kind of act are you putting on??"
