Bullfighting arena.
The victorious Lucy has come to the backstage.
"You have nowhere to run!"
Lucy just came back, Cavendish came over with a sword, and the sword went straight to Lucy's face.
"Cabbage (the nickname Lucy gave him), what are you trying to do?!"
The sword's edge followed the momentum of breaking the air, and Lucy closed his hands and clamped them at once.
Cavendish: "Hurry up and let it go!"
Lucy: "I won't let it go!"
What they didn't know was that at this time, Bartolomeo looked at Lucy from a distance, but did not dare to go over.
"I still clearly remember two years ago, in the town of Roger in the East China Sea. On the legendary death stage where Roger the Pirate King was executed, he shouted with his life hanging by a thread..."
【I am... the man who wants to become the Pirate King! ! 】
Looking at Lucy, Bartolomeo then murmured: "At that moment, thunder and lightning fell from the sky and rescued that lord (Luffy)! I witnessed the miracle happen!"
Bartolomeo chanted like a lunatic: "Since then, I have been collecting news reports on the 'Straw Hats'! Alabasta, Judiciary Island, Advance City Prison... Next It's Marine Fando of the Navy Headquarters... I was completely shocked by these news, and since then, I, who ruled more than 150 blocks at least, decided to go to sea!"
"Senior Luffy and Senior Chen Qi, I went to sea for you!"
It turned out that Bartolomeo was a die-hard fan of the Straw Hats and had deep admiration for them.
Just now in the ring, Lu Xi's ability to use the rubber fruit has proved that he is "Straw Hat" Luffy.
Facing his idol, Bartolomeo was a little afraid to approach.
Luffy is still fighting Cavendish.
"Why don't you just let me go?!" Cavendish shouted angrily with Luffy holding his sword.
Luffy is also not happy: "Why do you have to fight with you, you are so annoying! Cabbage!"
"Fuck me!"
At this time, a figure like black lightning came flying, directly separating the two.
It is Chen Qi, who has already changed his name to "Chen Wan".
Cavendish glared at Chen Wan: "Humph! You are here too, magic sword, just to catch you two **** in one go!"
"I'm here, and no one is allowed to draw a sword against the captain!" Chen Wan held the Zanpakutō and did not give in.
"Wow! This...this...this is Senior Chen Qi!" Seeing Chen Qi, Bartolomeo's tongue seemed to be knotted, and he was speechless for a long time.
When the two sides were deadlocked, a few people came not far away.
It was Green Pepper and his two grandsons, Lao Cai and Abu.
"Hey! Straw hat!"
"Huh?" Everyone turned their heads.
Lao Cai said, "Listen! Our old man has something to say to you."
Luffy looked at him impatiently: "It's not over yet, haven't I already beat you?"
When everyone looked at the green pepper again, the top of his head had already emerged like an awl, which was the same as the legendary 30 years ago.
Unexpectedly, Qingjiao knelt down directly, slammed his pointed head on the ground, and smashed the ground: "I don't hate Karp anymore, I just want to express this huge thank you, please accept my thanks. "
Although the green pepper seemed very sincere, Chen Qi winked at Luffy for fear of trouble, and the two turned around and ran away.
"Wait a minute, Karp's grandson, I'm really here to thank you!" Green Pepper shouted.
Cavendish also shouted anxiously: "Hey! You two, our duel is not over yet!"
[In order to thank you for restoring my head to its original state, let my grandson's Eight Treasures Navy join your army! 】
This is what Green Pepper has in mind.
"What are you doing, there's not even a clean place." Chen Qi and Luffy were running, and Luffy complained.
"Lu Xi, Chen Wan, come here!"
Suddenly, a girl grabbed Luffy.
"Oh, so it's you!" Chen Wan said.
It's Rebecca, the gladiator of the arena.
"By the way, you have a lot of enemies. Come with me." Rebecca said.
Lucy: "Okay, you've helped us a lot."
"Jie Hahahaha! If you say that, isn't Shiryu the same? But I can't trust people like Aokiji! Ah, wait a minute, Captain."
The three were walking when they saw a man talking with a phone bug.
The first captain of the Blackbeard Pirates, "Champion" Bassas.
He was talking to Blackbeard.
"Oh, it's the straw hat and the magic sword!" Bassas greeted them with a smirk when he saw them.
"Oh? Wood woah (straw hat)?" A familiar voice came from the phone bug.
"Blackbeard" Marshall D. Teach!
Hearing his voice reminded Luffy of what he had said before.
【Are you really okay to stay here? Your big brother will be publicly executed soon, thief hahahahahaha! ! 】
Luffy's face sank: "Blackbeard?"
This is brother Ace's biggest enemy!
"Yeah, long time no see! Thief hahahahaha! It seems that you have also participated in the game! But, the burning fruit will be taken away by our Bashas! It's like Ace became our partner, okay Happy! I was rejected by him before!"
Hearing Blackbeard's nonsense, Luffy's face showed anger: "Ace's ability... I can't give it to you no matter what!"
After this unpleasant chat, Luffy, Chen Qi and Rebecca left.
On the way, Rebecca asked, "Do you know that pirate just now?"
Luffy's rare seriousness: "Forget it, no one can let that guy win!"
But soon, Luffy forgot about this unpleasant thing.
Because he saw the restaurant inside the arena.
Luffy went up and said to the boss, "Boss, is the trial over?"
A drop of cold sweat on Chen Qi's head: This guy forgets everything as soon as he sees the food.
The boss is even more helpless: "You didn't want to buy it at all, did you?"
More than wanting to buy it, Luffy didn't bring any money at all.
Chen Qi basically doesn't bring any money when he goes out.
The two seem to be indifferent to the concept of money.
Rebecca hurried over: "I'm sorry, boss! Do you want that, Lucy?"
With a grateful look on Luffy's face, his saliva came down: "Hey? Are you really going to treat me to dinner?"
The boss knew Rebecca and said, "Oh, it's Rebecca's friend."
"Well, Chen Wan, which one (box lunch) do you want?" Rebecca asked Chen Qi.
Chen Qi is not as thick-skinned as Luffy. He feels that this is like a child who wants to ask his mother for candy, and he feels a little awkward. What's more, he wasn't too hungry.
"No, I'm really not hungry."
Rebecca brought Luffy and Chen Qi to her residence.
That's just the humble abode allotted to gladiators...
