Chapter 85 Give Me some Face (Happy Lantern Festival to Everyone!!!)
"Sincerity!? What sincerity!?"
"Why give us money!?"
Originally, Mochi, who had prepared several versions of the story in his mind after leaving the tent, suddenly became blank-eyed and stunned.
Seeing this, Barto's face suddenly showed an impatient and fierce look:
"Are you kidding me!?"
"Don't you know why I give you money!?"
"Huh!?"
Being able to rule 150 towns, Barto is definitely not a simple guy.
Just a simple glare is enough to exude a terrifying aura.
"Ah this..."
Mochi, who didn't know why, was sweating profusely.
Being afraid was secondary.
The most important thing was that he really didn't understand why the other party threw a bag of money at them right away!
This bag of cash...
At least 100 million Baileys! ?
"Gudong~"
Mochi, who had never seen so much money before, suddenly choked up, and his brain started to work rapidly.
The other party was able to find this place, obviously they already knew their identities.
And Captain Buggy had sent people to contact the Barto Group a few days ago, and initially stated the identity of the Straw Hat Grand Fleet.
So the other party suddenly found this place and threw out a bag of money...
Could it be that they wanted the Joker Pirates to introduce them to the Straw Hats! ! ?
Swish!
A bright light suddenly flashed in Mochi's eyes.
At this moment, he seemed to understand everything!
Sure enough!
The first time a big pirate was offered a reward of 5000W Baileys, even a gangster group like the Barto Group would be eager to bow down!
It seems that Captain Buggy's vision is really unique! ! !
Thinking of this, Mochi laughed in his heart instantly.
He quickly stepped forward and opened his arms to invite us:
"Hahahaha, of course I am sincere!"
"But not now!"
"Huh!?"
Mochi's answer made Barto angry again.
But he immediately said:
"After all, the boss and his men have not arrived in Rogue Town yet, and we, the subordinates, cannot make decisions for the boss."
"As for the money..."
Mochi stared at Bailey on the ground.
Although he was extremely entangled in his heart, when he thought of what Red said to Buggy in the tent that day...
In the future, they will be the great pirates who will fight against the world. How could they lose face because of such a small profit! ?
Mochi coughed lightly, even though his heart was bleeding, his face was righteous and said:
"Take this money back first."
"Don't worry! We will definitely say a few more good words to you in front of the bosses. It won't be too late for you to give this gift after the matter is done!"
Bartolomeo: "???"
What the hell! ?
Listening to Mochi's irrelevant conversation, Barto frowned and realized that something was wrong.
He suddenly turned his head to look at Gambia beside him: "Are you sure these guys want to sell devil fruits!? Did we recognize the wrong person?!"
"How is it possible, Brother Barto!"
As a strategist of the Barto Group, Gambia, who had to call his grandmother in the countryside when he encountered problems, had a resolute face:
"The previous guys wore this kind of cloak."
"How could I recognize the wrong person!?"
But thinking of Mochi's inexplicable words, he hesitated for a moment before adding:
"Maybe... the other party is talking about some pirate jargon, so we can't understand it."
"But I feel that their general meaning is that the real owner hasn't come yet, let's wait and trade!"
"Hmm..."
Barto, who has been a bad boy since childhood, showed an expression of "you are still smart" and nodded in approval.
But he naturally wouldn't be in a good mood because he made a wasted trip for no reason.
His face instantly turned cold, and he wanted to say something polite.
But before he could open his mouth, a noisy sound suddenly came from the direction of Rogue Town.
If you listen carefully, you can still hear some gunshots and shouting.
"Huh!?"
Mochi and Barto were both stunned at the same time, looking in the direction of the sound.
Then they saw a guy as strong as a bear, leading a group of pirates wearing the same cloak as the Joker Pirates, fleeing here under the pursuit of the navy!
...
...
"The pirate Alrita with a bounty of 500W!"
"You have no way to escape! Lay down your weapons and surrender obediently, which is your only way out!"
Dashiqi, holding the sharp knife Shigure, led a team of navy to run hard, shooting and shouting loudly.
It formed a beautiful landscape in Rogue Town.
And in front of them, it was Alrita and her group who should have appeared at the transaction location on time!
"Damn it!"
Looking at Tashigi, who was slimmer, prettier, and stronger than herself, Alrita suddenly let out a jealous and hoarse voice from the depths of her throat.
"We were clearly disguised, how could these navy find out our identities!?"
Alrita, with her fat face completely exposed outside her cloak, expressed confusion.
The pirates following her were in tears at this moment.
How did you get caught, boss? Don't you know what's going on? ?
However, if they say this, their fate may be ten thousand times more miserable than being arrested by the navy! ?
This is really a case of a hungry wolf in front and a fierce tiger behind!
Fortunately, there is always a way out.
At this moment, Alrita suddenly found Mochi and Barto and others in the misunderstanding stage in front of her.
Although she didn't know why there was a group of guys wearing the same disguise as herself, Alrita's eyes suddenly lit up when she knew Barto's identity.
She immediately shouted for help:
"Hey!? Chief Barto, we are here to trade!"
"Help us deal with the navy behind us!"
"I'll take you to get the devil fruit!"
"Boss... Boss, she is Alrita!"
Gambia behind Barto showed a shocked and embarrassed expression and reminded Barto.
Recalling what she just said, she instantly felt like a clown.
"Alrita!?"
Bato looked up in astonishment and turned his eyes to Mochi:
"If they are Alrita, then who are you!?"
"Ah?"
Hearing this question, Mochi was also obviously stunned for a moment.
However, seeing that the navy was about to come, he quickly asked his men to remind Captain Buggy, and then took off his hood and revealed his complete face.
"Of course we are the Clown Buggy Pirates!!!"
"…………"
For a moment, the scene suddenly became quiet.
And the appearance of Alrita also made both sides realize that they seemed to have misunderstood something.
However, seeing that the navy was about to catch up, Mochi and Barto, who were both black identities, chose to forget the previous embarrassment and focused their eyes on the navy.
Not far away.
With her agile figure, Dashiki suddenly ran a few steps and immediately chased behind Alrita and her group.
At this moment, the Shigure in her hand suddenly swept across the bodies of the pirates like waves on the lake.
In an instant...
"Ah!!!"
The pirates suddenly screamed, and a sharp knife mark appeared behind them, and blood gushed out!
A moment later, all the miscellaneous pirates of the Alrita Pirates were defeated.
"You have no way to escape! Alrita!"
Looking at the last remaining pirate, a gleam of light flashed in Dashiqi's bright eyes.
It was a great achievement for her to lead the troops to capture the pirate with a bounty of 5 million alone!
Of course, Dashiqi was more pleased that catching a group of pirates could make the sea more peaceful.
Thinking of this, her steps suddenly accelerated, and the sharp long knife flashed a cold light in the air.
But just when she was about to catch Alrita behind...
An unexpected scene suddenly appeared! ! !
Bang! ! !
Suddenly, a transparent barrier appeared in front of Tashigi, causing her body to suddenly stop as if she had hit a wall.
At this time, Bartolomeo, with his fingers in a strange position, stepped forward, looked at the fallen Tashigi and the navy soldiers following closely behind, and said arrogantly:
"Navy, I have something to deal with Alrita."
"Give me a favor, and you can leave first!"
Happy Lantern Festival everyone!!!
This time, I will definitely not make a mistake!
