Chapter 14

"Hey! You little brats!"

Just as the two of them were scolding each other more and more fiercely, a voice interrupted them.

Xun Sheng looked over and saw an old man with white hair wearing simple armor and carrying a spear on his back.

Before anyone could react, the old man continued:"Don't bully Xiuxiu!!"

"Xiuxiu?"

"Uncle, who are you?"

Rotte and others focused their attention on this old man who suddenly appeared.

"me?

The old man revealed his identity:"I am the mayor of this seaport town, Bootle.""

"And you——"

Just when he wanted to continue questioning the identities of Luffy Lott and others, a figure suddenly fell among them.

When they saw the figure that suddenly appeared clearly, Nami and the old man who called himself the mayor were shocked, because – this person who suddenly appeared looked exactly like Lot who was there from the beginning!

Same appearance, same whole body wrapped in bandages!

"Eh?!"

Nami glanced at the newly appeared figure, and then at Lot, who was holding his collar by her, and her mind was a little confused.

Twins?

No, definitely not. I have been to Lot's house several times, and then passed the meeting with Green Island. Uncles and aunts listened and speculated. She knew Lot's life experience very well.

And even if they are twins, they can't even dress up and even wear the same bandages, right?

"Don't make a fuss, this is just my shadow clone – just think of it as a devil fruit power."

The newly appeared Lott threw the bandages and medicines he found to Lott, who had been there all the time, and then they turned into a cloud of smoke and disappeared.

Lott, who took the medicines, thought at first that they were for ninjutsu, but later After thinking about it, I chose to explain it in terms that are more understandable in this world.

"Devil Fruit?"

"Devil Fruit!!"

The one who is confused is the mayor, who has no idea what a Devil Fruit is. What is shocking is Nami, who is committed to making 100 million Beli, but she knows very well that the average price of Devil Fruit is 100 million Beli!!

Originally, she She thought it was just a legend, but after seeing Bucky the Clown's ability, she was sure that Devil Fruit was real!

As a money-lover, her eyes suddenly changed when she looked at Lot, and there was something in her eyes. Pele's symbol, looking at Lot is like looking at an extremely precious gem

"Do you want to bandage it yourself, or should I do it?"

Ignoring Nami's look that wanted to pack him away, Lot came to Zoro, who had been sitting on the ground, and motioned to him the medicine and bandages in his hand. The medicine was delivered, so let him go for the time being. It's a dog. Although he actually didn't intend to cut open its belly with a knife from the beginning. He just wanted to scare it and see if he could make it vomit or pull it out on its own.

"I can do it myself…" replied the latter.

None of us were doctors, so the treatment of the wound was brutal and simple. Zoro used his hands to remove the pieces of clothing stuck to the wound, then poured disinfectant alcohol, applied hemostatic medicine, and wrapped a bandage, and then bandaged it..

Zoro didn't say a word the whole time.

This made Nami's eyelids jump. If such a wound was placed on her body, she would scream in pain.

After treating the wound, Zoro found a house to rest, saying that the injury would be healed after a good sleep.

——

"That guy is Xiuxiu."

Outside the house, everyone started chatting.

The mayor's uncle who poured dog food for the little white dog said.

"It has been guarding this house because the owner of this house is also his owner, that is to say, this is his home."

"Judging from the injuries on its body, it must have been from a fight with pirates to protect the store…."

"ah?

Nami was very puzzled:"Then why didn't his master take him away when he fled?" How could you leave it to look after the store at this time?"

"well…"

The mayor's uncle touched the puppy that was eating. After sighing, his tone was slightly sad,"His owner actually passed away a few months ago. He died of illness.""

"Could it be that it has been…Have you been waiting for the store manager uncle to come home? Always thought it was still alive?"

Female sensibility made Nami feel unbearable towards the puppy, and she had no complaints at all about the fact that it had just swallowed the cage key that she had worked so hard to steal.

"Everyone says so, but…"

The mayor's uncle shook his head, with a smile on his face,"Xiu Xiu is a very smart dog. He should have known that his master is dead."

Lot, Luffy"..."

"Then why is it still looking at the store?"

"It must be because this store is Xiu Xiu's priceless treasure."The mayor's uncle took out a pipe, took a deep breath and continued:"It is the relic of Xiuxiu's favorite master....So Xiu Xiucai has been guarding this store here."

"It was really nerve-wracking, no matter how we tried to take it away for shelter, it would come back."

The eyes of the four people on the scene were all focused on Xiuxiu, who walked to the front of the store and squatted down as if she was on guard after eating.

"Roar!!!"

Just when everyone fell into silence, a roar of a beast awakened Nami and the mayor's uncle from their sadness.

"Just…What was that roar just now?….."

"this…This must be that guy!! [Animal Tamer Moltke]!!"

The sound of heavy objects trampling on the ground reached their ears. Nami and the mayor's uncle were shocked. They shouted"Run away" and ran away in a hurry.

"Please return the key to me quickly!"

Luffy, who was still in the cage, had a calm expression. He just looked at the puppy and said again.

As if he didn't realize the danger was coming, so did Lot. He crossed his arms and looked in the direction of the heavy footsteps.

Bang bang bang – the heavy footsteps were getting closer and closer, and a huge shadow enveloped Lot and Luffy who stayed in place.

A huge lion and a man sitting on the lion

"Roar——"

The lion roared again, as if to demonstrate a warning

"Captain Bucky was very angry….."

The man sitting on the lion looked at the two of them and sneered:"You have really done some incredible things."

"..."

"Why are you wearing such a weird hood?"

But Luffy's attention was already attracted by the man's dress, and he completely ignored what the man said.

"Are you too rude?! This is my hair!!"

The man retorted.

"That would be even stranger! You say so, Lot."

Luffy nodded, with a look of certainty on his face.

"It's really strange."

Root, who crossed his arms and crossed his chest, nodded in agreement.

He looked like he came from a circus.
