Chapter 26: Sorbet Kingdom......

After entering South Blue, the weather calmed down and the Sea Empress sailed through the sea surface calmly.

....

3 days later.

Luffy and crew reached the Sorbet Kingdom.

At an unknown point in the past, the kingdom's ruler Bartholomew Kuma, joined the Revolutionary Army. However, due to unknown events, he ended up leaving the revolutionaries and losing his royal status to become a Warlord of the Sea and a test subject in the Pacifista program, where he was slowly converted into a cyborg by Dr. Vegapunk.

Also Jewelry Bonney infiltrated the Levely by posing as "Connie", queen dowager of the Sorbet Kingdom.

After they docked their ship at the main dock, Luffy paid the entrance fees for his crew. It was mandatory to pay the entrance money to enter the territory of the Sorbet Kingdom. So in order to avoid unnecessary trouble Luffy paid 40,000 Belly as the entrance money.

Just as they started walking Kaya asked, " Luffy, i think we should hide our ship somewhere else to avoid any robbery. "

Luffy smiled a little, " Don't worry, if someone other than us tried to do something to our ship then the result will be like this. "

Then Luffy picked up a huge stone and kicked it like a football. The stone tore the air like a bullet and travelled towards the ship. But the moment it reached near the ship, it was interrupted by a transparent circular shield.

Then the next moment in front of the astounded gazes of everyone with a * Zapp * sound the stone disintegrated into nothing.

Luffy grinned and explained the secret, " That was the security system of our ship, but it won't stop any of us. "

After witnessing this little incident they started walking towards the town.

....

After asking around they found out that the auction would take place in the auction house of the Samara Town.

On the streets of Samara Town, you could always see some very fierce-looking people, and even some walking down the street with weapons, but no one was afraid. From time to time there were screams from the corner of the street or narrow alleyways.

Even so, it still did not rouse the interest of Luffy and the others.

Reiju and Kaya seemed to be very excited, they had been looking around but they don't know what they are looking for.

Wherever beauties like Reiju and Kaya go, they would definitely cause chaos. So the two beauties walking together made them the centre of attention.

There were already many men on the street staring at both Reiju and Kaiya. If it wasn't for the bloodthirsty aura around Luffy, some of the men with lustful eyes would have already jumped on them to satisfy their hunger.

Luffy also attracted a lot of seductive gazes from the surrounding ladies.

Luffy saw the hungry glances of those passers-by and was immediately speechless for a while.

' Why are they behaving like, they have never seen a beautiful woman before? '

Still some of the fools blatantly tried to cause trouble but were intercepted by either Zoro or Reiju. Zoro just injured them but Reiju mercilessly poisoned them to death.

Whenever someone died by Reiju's poison, she would torture them slowly to satisfy her sadistic side.

' Crap, i have almost forgot about this sadistic woman. ' Luffy thought in horror as he forgot about her sadistic counterpart.

Because of this sudden bloodbath, everyone around them secretly paid attention to Luffy and the others.

Luffy also noticed the unpleasant atmosphere around them. So he said, " Alright everyone, let's go find a inn to stay. " Then Luffy began walking towards exit of the shopping-street and the rest also followed behind him.

Soon they arrived in front of a inn with a name plate of ' Sleeping Beast Inn '. When they entered inside the sight of a luxuriously decorated lobby welcomed them.

Luffy went to the counter. The counter lady was a woman in her late 30 with heavy make-up and revealing clothes. When she saw Luffy's devilish handsome face, she welcomed him with open arms.

" Well hi handsome, howmany rooms do you need? " Asked the lady with a seductive smile.

Luffy smiled politely and replied, " I want to book four rooms for a month. "

The smile on her face dimmed a little, " Sorry, but we have only two rooms vacant at this moment. Because of the upcoming auction all rooms have already been booked. " The attendant lady said in a sad voice.

Luffy sighed in understanding, " Ok then, please give us the remaining two rooms. How much? " The lady smiled happily and answered, " 20,000 Belly for day so you have to pay me 600,000 Belly. " Luffy nodded and brought out a pouch of 600,000 Belly and gave the attendant lady.

The lady petrified by his behaviour. Usually no matter who rich or poor they would bargain with her but this handsome young man gave her such a huge amount of money like nothing.

Then she understood one thing, this young boy in front of her was not a normal person.

She calmed down immediately and took the sack of money with a smile. After counting the money she finished the paperwork and handed a pair of keys to Luffy.

" Here is the keys for your rooms. Both the rooms are on third floor and you can identify them by their number plates. The same numbers are engraved on the keys. " The lady explained him. Luffy left her and told the situation to his crew.

He told them to go find their room while he had some business with the attendant lady. Kaya, Reiju and Zoro left him and went to the third floor.

Luffy immediately returned to the counter and placed another pouch of coins on the table. Seeing the confused expression of the attendant Luffy asked, " This is 100,000 Belly, beautiful lady can you please tell me about the recent news regarding the auction. "

Enjoying the weight of coins on her hand the woman nodded and introduced herself, " First of all let me introduce you myself. My name is

Lisa and i am the owner of this inn. " Luffy also smiled, " I am Monkey D. Luffy a Pirate Captain. "
