"Sincerity!? What sincerity!?"
"Why are you giving us money!?"
Mohji, who had already drafted several versions in his mind after walking out of the tent, suddenly turned wide-eyed, and his expression suddenly became stunned.
Seeing this scene, Barto's face suddenly showed an impatient and fierce look:
"Are you kidding me!?"
"You don't know why I gave you money!?"
"Um!?"
Able to rule 150 towns, Bartolomeo is by no means a simple guy.
Just a simple glare is enough to exude an intimidating aura.
"Ah this..."
Mohji, who didn't understand why, was suddenly sweating profusely.
The most important thing is that he really didn't understand why the other party threw them a bag of money as soon as they came up!
This bag of cash...
At least 100 million berries! ?
"Gudong~"
Mohji, who had never seen so much money, suddenly choked up and his brain was running rapidly.
If the other party can find this place, it is obvious that they already know their identity well.
Captain Buggy had sent someone to contact the Barto Group a few days ago and initially revealed the identity of the members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
So the other party suddenly found this place and threw out a bag of money...
Could it be that they want the Buggy Pirates to introduce them to join the Straw Hats? ! ?
Swish!
A bright light suddenly flashed in Mohji's eyes.
At this moment, he seemed to understand everything!
Really!
The big pirate who was offered a bounty of 50,000,000 Berries for the first time, even a mafia group such as the Barto Group, is eager to surrender!
It seems that Captain Buggy's vision is really unique! ! !
Thinking of this, Mohji laughed instantly in his heart.
I saw him taking a quick step forward, opening his arms in an invitation:
"Hahahaha, of course there is sincerity!"
"But not now!"
"Um!?"
Mohji's answer once again made Bartolomeo look angry.
But he immediately said:
"After all, the boss and the others haven't arrived in Loguetown yet, and I as a subordinate can't make the decision for the boss."
"As for the money..."
Mohji glanced at Berries on the ground.
Although I was extremely conflicted in my heart, when I thought of what Red said to Buggy in the tent that day...
In the future, they will be big pirates who have to fight against the world. How could they lose face because of such a small profit! ?
Mohji coughed lightly, and even though his heart was bleeding, his face showed justice and said calmly:
"Just take this money back first."
"Don't worry! We will definitely say a few nice words to you in front of the bosses. When things are done, it won't be too late for you to give this big gift!"
Bartolomeo: "???"
What the hell! ?
Listening to Mohji's erroneous conversation, Barto suddenly frowned and realized that something was wrong.
He suddenly turned to look at Gambia beside him: "Are you sure it's these guys who want to sell Devil Fruits!? We couldn't have mistaken the wrong person, right?"
"No, Brother Barto!"
"The guys from before were wearing this kind of cloak."
"How could I mistake that!?"
However, thinking of Mohji's incomprehensible words, he hesitated slightly before adding:
"Perhaps... the other party is talking about some slang among pirates, so we don't understand."
"But I think what they probably mean is that the real owner hasn't come yet, so let's wait before trading!"
"Um..."
Barto, who has been a bad boy since he was a child, looked like "you are still smart" and nodded in approval.
But if he made a trip for no reason, he would naturally not be in a good mood.
His expression instantly turned cold, and he wanted to say something dramatic.
But before he could speak, a burst of noise suddenly came from the direction of Loguetown.
If you listen carefully, you can still vaguely hear the sounds of shooting and shouting.
"Um!?"
Mohji and Barto were stunned at the same time and looked in the direction of the sound.
Immediately they saw a guy as strong as a bear, leading a group of pirates wearing the same cloaks as the Buggy Pirates, and escaping here with the navy chasing them!
...
...
"The pirate Alvida with a bounty of 5 million!"
"You have no way to escape! Putting down your weapons and surrendering obediently is your only way out!"
Holding the sharp sword Shigure, Tashigi led a group of marines to run hard, shooting and shouting loudly.
It forms a beautiful scenery in Loguetown.
And in front of them, it was Alvida's group who should have appeared at the trading location on time!
"Damn it!"
Looking at Tashigi behind her who was slimmer, more beautiful, and more powerful than herself, Alvida suddenly let out a beastly, jealous and hoarse voice from the depths of her throat.
"We have obviously put on disguises, why did these navy find out our identities!?"
Alvida, whose beautiful face was completely exposed outside the cloak, expressed confusion.
But the pirates following her were on the verge of crying.
Why were you discovered, boss? Don't you know the reason? ?
However, if they say this, their fate may be ten thousand times more miserable than being arrested by the navy!
This situation is the best example of the proverb- Stuck between a rock and a hard place.
Fortunately, they found some 'allies'.
At this moment, Alvida suddenly discovered Mohji, Barto and others who were in the misunderstanding stage ahead.
Although she didn't know why there was a group of guys wearing the same disguise as herself, Alvida's eyes suddenly lit up when she knew Barto's identity.
She immediately shouted for help:
"Hello!? Chief Barto, we are here to trade!"
"Hurry and help us deal with the navy behind us!"
"I'll take you to get the Devil Fruit!"
"Boss...Boss, she is Alvida!"
Behind Barto, Gambia looked shocked and embarrassed, and reminded Barto.
Recalling what I just said, I instantly felt like I had turned into a clown.
"Alvida!?"
Barto raised his head in astonishment and turned to Mohji:
"If they are Alvida, then who are you!?"
"What?"
Hearing this question, Mohji was obviously stunned for a moment.
But seeing that the navy was about to come, he quickly asked his men to remind Captain Buggy, and then took off his hood, revealing his full face.
"Of course we are the Buggy Pirates!!!"
"..."
For a moment, the scene suddenly became quiet.
The appearance of Alvida also made both parties realize that they seemed to have misunderstood something.
However, seeing that the navy was about to catch up to them, Mohji and Barto, who were both confused, selectively forgot their previous embarrassment and focused their attention on the navy together.
Not far away.
Relying on her agile posture, Tashigi suddenly ran a few steps quickly and immediately chased after Alvida and her group.
At this moment, the Shigure in her hand suddenly passed over the bodies of the pirates like water waves on the lake.
In an instant...
"What!!!"
The pirates suddenly let out a scream, and sharp knife marks appeared behind them, and blood spurted out!
A moment later, all the miscellaneous pirates of the Alvida Pirates were defeated.
"You have no way to escape! Alvida!"
Seeing the last remaining pirate, a light suddenly flashed in Tashigi's bright eyes.
Leading her troops alone to take down a pirate with a bounty of 5 million, this was a great achievement for her!
Of course, Tashigi was more pleased that catching a group of pirates would make the sea more peaceful.
Thinking of this, her footsteps suddenly quickened, and the sharp long knife cut through the cold light in the air.
But just when she was about to pursue Alvida...
An unexpected scene suddenly appeared! ! !
Peng! ! !
A transparent barrier suddenly appeared in front of Tashigi, which made her unable to dodge suddenly as if she had hit a wall, and her body suddenly stopped.
At this time, Bartolomeo, who was making strange gestures with his fingers, stepped forward, looked at Tashigi who fell to the ground and the navy soldiers who followed him, and said arrogantly:
"Marines, I have some things to deal with with Alvida."
"Give me some face, please step back first!"
