Chapter 23

Things on this island have been settled smoothly.

A Bucky pirate group, in addition to being tricked due to lack of intelligence at the beginning, Luffy was put in a cage, although this seemed to be because of Nami's relationship, and Zoro was attacked by Bucky with a Devil Fruit, which led to his immediate death. They were at a disadvantage, but after knowing the enemy's situation, Luffy and Zoro could defeat the entire Bucky Pirates, not to mention adding a Lot.

Nami also got the treasure and navigation chart she wanted.

Everyone is happy

"Well, here's your share of the five million Baileys."

Lot, who was thinking about what to do next, suddenly heard Nami's cute voice.

Looking over, he was surprised to find that this woman who valued wealth as much as her life actually divided out half of her big bag of treasure and put it away. In front of him.

This scene immediately made Lot squint his eyes.

He knew Nami earlier than Luffy, but he knew very well how much this girl regarded wealth as her life. Taking away a penny from her would be like killing her. species.

Thinking of this, Lot asked seriously:

"Nami, don't you have a fever?"

Because of the fever, the brain is not flexible, and it will unconsciously do some stupid things that it would not do on ordinary days.

It is indeed possible.

"ah? Well…"

For the first time, Nami failed to realize the meaning of Lot's words.

Then after noticing his strange look, he suddenly became a little angry. what?

Although I, Nami, regard wealth as life, I will never be ungrateful!!

Not to mention that if it weren't for Lot and others, she would have no chance of getting the money back from the Bucky Pirates.

Nami patted Lot's chest with a"pop" and said angrily:"This is the reward I gave you! Do you accept it?!"

"Yes, of course!"

Seeing that Nami suddenly became angry, Lott quickly responded.

I really don't understand a woman's mood. It changes at any time. He didn't say anything particularly outrageous, right?

Seeing that the time was almost up, Lott was about to say hello. Fei Zoro and the other two were about to go out to sea.

Suddenly, there were bursts of noise not far away.

Everyone looked over and saw that a large group of residents holding kitchen knives and brooms with various daily necessities as weapons were rushing toward them.

"The bastard Buggy Pirates! We fight with you!!"

"What did you do to the mayor?! What about others?!"

"asshole!!"

This large number of residents shouted and ran toward them menacingly.

"Wait, we're not——"

Nami's expression changed and she was about to explain loudly when she suddenly felt someone tugging on her collar.

"Let's go! If we don't leave, we will be treated as enemies."

The person who pulled her was Lot.

"Yes, that's right! It's time for us to go, guys!"

Luffy also said the same thing.

Zoro said"heh"

"But——"

But we are the ones who defeated the Bucky Pirates. As long as we explain clearly, we may even be treated as heroes and maybe get some rewards.

This is what Nami originally wanted to say, but she noticed that the three people in front of her did not have any expressions of being angry at being misunderstood….laugh?

They don't want to be seen as heroes.

Suddenly, Nami's beautiful eyes widened slightly as she figured it out.

"Eh?!"

Nami suddenly felt a force pulling her. When she looked closely, she found that Lot had grabbed her wrist and they were running away together.

Just as the residents were chasing after her with angry faces, a puppy suddenly He rushed in front of them, blocking the way forward, and started barking at the same time.

"what happened? Xiuxiu, why are you blocking the way?"

"Get out of here! Xiuxiu, those pirates who hurt everyone are running away!"

The people in the town didn't know what was going on, so they could only think of shouting loudly to drive Xiuxiu out of the way.

But Xiuxiu just kept shouting, blocking their steps.

For a while, the two sides fell into a stalemate.

"what happened?! you!"

Suddenly, another voice broke the stalemate.

The leading man looked over and found that it was their mayor!

Although his forehead was bleeding a little, his overall body condition was good and there were no fatal wounds.

"Mayor!"The man looked happy, and then began to explain:"That's it, we all decided to come down and work together to drive the Bucky Pirates out of this island. But when they came here, they seemed to be fighting among themselves. Many members of the pirate group have fallen, and only four are left."

"four people?!"

The mayor, who had just woken up from a coma, covered his head, which was still a little heavy. His eyes suddenly widened, and he immediately asked anxiously:"Where are the four people?!"

"Well, they ran away when they saw us. It seems that they must be the remnants of the pirate group after the internal strife."

Although he was a little curious as to why the mayor was so anxious all of a sudden, the man still explained everything that happened after they arrived here:"Don't worry, mayor! We won't let those four bastards escape!"

"idiot!!"

To the man's shock, the mayor actually started scolding him..

"Only I can scold those four people! Except for me, no one of you is allowed to say anything bad about them!!"

The mayor was so excited that after he finished scolding, he began to breathe heavily. His heart and lungs were a little uncomfortable, but now is not the time to worry! How dare you press an old man like me against the wall so hard!

And what will happen after saving this town? I just ran away without even saying a word!! Are you kidding me?!

I took so much care of you and let you run away like this without even saying a word of thanks? How can I have the dignity to continue to be the mayor of this town!!

When I think about it! Then, the mayor hurriedly asked the man about the direction in which the four people were leaving, and then hurriedly chased after them.

"good…it's wired?"

"What happened to the mayor?"

The townspeople who were stunned looked at each other.

"Hahu, huhuhu——"

By the time the mayor ran to the shore, the small fishing boat had already sailed far away, and only its outline could be seen.

Before his breath calmed down, the mayor took a deep breath again and then opened his mouth:

"Thanks!! thank you all!!!"

Tick tock – as he shouted this sentence, the mayor's tears also dropped to the ground.

————

"He is thanking us, Luffy, why don't you respond?"

On the boat, Lot's ears twitched, and then he smiled and said to Luffy, who was leaning on the hull on the other side and covering his face with a hat.

"No need, I have received your wishes!"

Although he couldn't see his expression, judging from his tone, Lot could tell that Luffy was in a very good mood.
