Invitation to Banquet

"This is your reward, totaling 10.5 million Berries." At the gate of the Marine sub-base on Cazorla Island, a Marine handed a bag of Berries to Mio and said.

In addition to the two pirates with a bounty of several million, there were also several pirates with a bounty of several hundred thousand, which were taken by Mio.

After taking the money, Mio turned, and walked towards the town.

Warwick and Erica followed Mio in their cloaks.

Erica, who had just turned into a human being and came into contact with the world, looked around with curious eyes, and everything seemed very strange to her.

Not long after, the three of them arrived outside a weapon shop.

The shop owner was a fat man. He seemed to be looking at the ledger at this time, with a brilliant smile on his face, as if he was satisfied with today's harvest.

"Hello, sir, do you want to buy weapons?" The boss heard the voice and raised his head to look at Mio, with a warm smile on his face.

"Yes, if you have any good weapons, take them out and I'll have a look." Mio nodded.

"Well, please wait a minute. Although my shop is small, it still has a few good weapons, especially since my dad is a blacksmith. His forging skills are very good, but it's a pity that he didn't pass it on to me."

The fat boss said as he walked into the store room and prepared to take out the treasures in the store.

The weapons displayed outside the store are very general weapons, and they are only sold to those who can't afford expensive weapons.

Really good weapons are placed in the rooms of the store.

Listening to the fat boss's words, Mio was a little bit looking forward to it.

It didn't take long for the boss to walk out of the room in the store, holding a few weapons in his hand.

"Sir, you can take a look. These are the weapons my father forged during his lifetime. Although they may not be as well-known as the Great Swords, they are still very good."

Mio picked up a weapon and drew the sword out of the sheath, a cold light suddenly appeared in front of his eyes.

Holding the sword in one hand, Mio picked up the sword on his waist and the two weapons collided, making a sound of 'clang.'

His original weapon suddenly broke.

Mio's eyes suddenly lit up and exclaimed, "Good."

"Mister thinks it's good." The fat boss smiled even more, and it seemed that he could have a few good gains today.

Mio picked up a weapon, handed it to Erica, and asked, "Hold it and have a try, how does it feel?"

"Okay." Erica nodded.

A soft voice sounded, and a hint of silver hair fluttered under the cloak, which made the fat boss take a few more glances, and then he looked away.

Erica took the weapon, and waved it.

She tried to feel her hand, and at the same time identified the quality of the weapon, and nodded after a moment, "Good."

"It's okay." Hearing this, Mio looked at the fat boss and said, "I want three."

"That will be 1.5 million Berries." The fat boss squinted his eyes and immediately announced the price.

The price of 500,000 Berries per sword is okay, not very expensive.

After taking out Berries to pay, Mio took his new weapon and left the weapon shop under the 'unwilling' gaze of the fat boss.

After a few steps, Mio suddenly noticed that the street had become quieter.

Erica pulled Mio's sleeve, raised her little finger and pointed to the front.

Mio looked up, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.

Looking ahead, a group of people wrre walking towards this side at this time.

The leader in the middle had yellow hair and wore a pink feather coat, sunglasses, and walked arrogantly with hands in his pants. At this time, he looked like a gangster.

"Doflamingo... I didn't expect him to be here now." Looking at that person, Mio muttered in his heart.

Although there is a Marine branch on this island, even Marine might not dare to take action against him, right? At most, they will warn Doflamingo a few times.

After all, with the strength of Doflamingo, the Marine branch on this island really may not be a decent opponent.

It seemed that Doflamingo didn't pay attention to the Marine branch on this island at all, otherwise he wouldn't blatantly attract attention.

It seemed that Doflamingo felt Mio's gaze, and the eyes under Doflamingo's sunglasses couldn't help but look at Mio.

Then, he looked the two cloaked people beside Mio, and his gaze finally fell on Erica's body, and his eyes flickered.

"Humhhhhhhhh, interesting."

"There is such a strong person in North Blue too."

After murmuring, Doflamingo's mouth raised, and without stopping, he walked straight in the other direction.

Mio also retracted his gaze and smiled, "Let's go, we will meet again next time."

After all, he was here to meet Doflamingo, but Doflamingo's identity is very eye-catching.

There are people staring at Doflamingo which include both Marine and World government.

Mio has to go to Vegapunk next, and now if he is in contact with Doflamingo, it may not be long before his identity will be sent to the Marine Headquarters Fleet Admiral's table, which will be troublesome.

So even if he wants to contact the other party, he has to wait for the evening.

But as Mio left, Doflamingo said indifferently, "Diamante, we need to add a few new guests to our evening banquet."

"I understand, Doffy." Diamante nodded thoughtfully, and turned and left Doflamingo's side.

...

After returning to the boat.

Mio looked at the time, and thought that it was too early, and then he stood on the deck with the new weapon to train.

Erica stood not far away, with a weapon in each hand, and it seemed that she still liked the new weapon very much.

However, the next moment, the two tentacles under Erica's cloak waved, and then Erica swung her two swords, slashing away in one direction, and two silver slashes suddenly burst out.

A figure there suddenly jumped towards the distance, avoiding the slashing blow.

"It's hard to blame Doffy for asking me to invite you. You do have this strength." The sharp voice sounded.

Mio looked up and raised his eyebrows slightly, "Go ahead, state your purpose."

"Doffy asked me to invite you. We will have a banquet in the evening, and you are welcome to attend at that time." Diamante said.

With a wave of his right hand, an invitation letter flew towards Mio like a blade.

Mio raised his right hand, and took the invitation letter. As he looked up, Diamante had already left.

Opening the invitation letter in his hand, as Diamante said, there was a place written on it, and the time was ten o'clock in the evening.

However, it seemed that the place where the banquet would be held was not in the town, but rather in a place like a forest on the island, near the coast.
