Chapter 24 - 24 - Meeting An 'Acquaintance' Again
Cocoyashi Village was successfully removed from the incident, and the Bluebird Chamber of Commerce, which had crossed paths before, seemed to have nothing to do with it.
This leaves Will and Nami with no more worries.
As for Smoker, who was all over the East Blue looking for them, let him continue to scurry without worry.
"Since we know the situation, we'll go to the Goa Kingdom first."
Since Nami was on board, then Koby, a half-witted navigator, naturally didn't need it or was the handyman's very promising job more suitable for him.
"To the Kingdom of Goa? There must be a lot of Navy eyes there, are you sure?" Nami was surprised.
"I still have tens of millions of beli at Old John's place, and I've been eating fruit for the past few days, and my mouth reeks of orange.
Thanks again to the enthusiasm of the villagers of Cocoyashi Village, Will and Nami experienced for the first time what it means to eat oranges until they puke! .
Even Nami, who loves her hometown oranges so much, won't eat them anymore, so you can imagine how terrible it is!
If it weren't for the fact that Will's Infinity Gauntlet's inner space also contained a lot of fruits from the ferocious beast island that could be exchanged for food, they would never have lasted this long without showing their faces!
But even so, Will had had enough!
He wants to eat meat!
He wants a drink!
He wants a big purchase!
After hearing that Will still had ten million belis in the hands of someone in the Kingdom of Goa, Nami's eyes immediately flashed into the beli's symbol!
"Just leave it to me, Captain!"
"We will reach the Kingdom of Gia in the shortest possible time!"
Sister, don't get so excited...
Will wanted to talk about Nami's extreme obsession with money, but after thinking about it, it doesn't seem bad, is it wrong to love money?
"Koby let's set sails, I'll take the helm, Nami watch the direction."
"Target Goa Kingdom, move out!"
...
Old John is both worried and excited these days.
The 'stolen goods' left to him by Will have all been cashed in through his own channels these days.
Just that ninety percent new pirate ship alone was sold for a full ten million!
Those two heads that could be exchanged for money were also exchanged directly for Beli when Smoker came to his door with his men!
The whole twenty-five million, not a penny more, not a penny less!
Was sent directly to him!
This new Navy captain is indeed as principled as the rumours say he is!
If it's an old Navy officer, it would have been nice of them to pay half the bounty price, but the more shady ones would have just left without giving the bounty!
Do you want your life or money?
As for Smoker's intention, Old John naturally knew it by heart, and he wisely chose to tell the truth, Will entrusted someone to bring him a message just to warn him not to hack his share, and not let him lie to the Navy.
And this is not a violation of the tacit understanding between the two, after all, as long as there is a ship anywhere Will can go, but he can not!
He's a big family man, and if he offends the Navy here, he'll be doing a shitty business, and if he's punished again, he'll be in trouble.
With the cooperation of Old John and others who said whatever they wanted, Smoker had to play by the rules even though he knew that the two heads were actually killed by Will.
There is no rule that you have to come in person to collect the bounty.
Old John asserted that Will had left them on the ship and forgot to take them away, so what could he do?
If he doesn't pay up, this so-called bounty will be useless later on!
He didn't pay for it anyway, so he accepted it!
But he kept one thing in mind, he thought there might be more to it than that.
Even if what Old John said was true, would Will be willing if he knew that his achievements had been exchanged for money?
So when he went out to sea to search for Will, he left a special naval team in ambush here.
Once Will is exposed for once, it's impossible to 'disappear' again!
He has to say that Smoker's arrangement by mistake really caught Will's little tail...
Because, a few days later, a ship without any flag docked at the port of the Kingdom of Goa, and a man and a woman stepped off the ship.
It was Will and Nami who finally arrived, but why only two people...
Once again, the miserable Koby was left on the ship by Will to watch the boat for the reason of 'training'.
Such a good opportunity for two, how could Will, as an old driver, let a child act as a light bulb!
It's not good for development for young children to learn too early about what goes on between men and women!
That's right, Will, was just concerned about the next generation!
So Will, who didn't want a light bulb on his side, took Nami to the shore.
Neither of them was masked, for Nami because there was no bounty on her head, and for Will who got a poster was not concerned about it.
Because on his poster, he has white hair, and right now his hair is black as it only happens when he transforms into his humanoid form!
So no one will recognize him!
Will, who thought it was impossible for anyone to recognize him, had just taken two steps when a cute girl suddenly appeared in front of him, attracted by his exuberant beauty, she rushed straight over and hugged him!
"Uh... Little sister? Have you mistaken me for someone else?"
In Nami's playful expression, Will was very embarrassed.
"Brother said he would come to see me at night, it's been so many days, every day I have left my doors open, but Brother just won't come, wooooooo~ I finally found Brother, so how can I mistook you for someone else!"
emmmmmmmmm...
Will finally remembered which one of the little beauties with the pear-shaped rainbow she is, but it might as well have been better if she mistook him for someone!
Because the sneer on Nami's face is getting heavier too!
She must have taken him for a scumbag who plays with women's emotions!
How do we break this deadlock?
The old driver overturned his car!
"Oh, it's you..."
"Actually, you misunderstood me, I said 'later' to find you, I had just arrived here and didn't know the area so I wanted to ask someone for directions!"
"Yes, that's right!"
"And then because I found where I was going, I didn't bother finding you!"
Will made up a story in a hurry, but Nami's expression made it clear that she didn't believe a word of it.
'If you want to ask for directions, just ask for directions, why do you have to go to someone's house later?
Are you taking me for a fool!'
Nami gave him a 'you go on, I'm watching' look that made Will nearly collapse!
"No way! It was obviously love at first sight between me and my handsome brother~"
"Since you also asked me if I am a vir-"
"Hmmp~!"
Without hearing the rest, Nami harrumph as she turned and walked away!
"That's not it! Nami, you listen to my explanation!"
"I was asking her if she had a fever, but not the slutty one, the sick one!"
"She misunderstood it herself!"
"Don't go! You let go of me!"
