Little Goku's Great Adventure Starting from One Piece

Chapter 205 The Gaze from the Shadows (1st Update)

Saga Island is a medium-sized island located in the latter half of the Grand Line Paradise, not far from the famous Water Seven.

At the port, there was a bustling atmosphere, with many merchant ships docked here. Workers, like busy ants, worked under the scorching sun to unload the goods that had been brought in from the ships, or to transport goods from the island to the ships.

Sweat dripped continuously under the sun, and the water stains on the stone slabs, resembling blooming flowers, were the best testament to their hard work.

The Dream Chaser slowly sailed into this place from the sea. Wukong and the others stood at the bow, curiously looking at this unfamiliar island.

"There are so many people here." Wukong looked around at the workers carrying goods on and off the boats, as if he were a country bumpkin visiting a grand garden.

It's been a long time since I've seen such a bustling port.

Although we had passed an island with a town, it was just a small island with no port at all, only very rudimentary docking points, let alone so many merchant ships docked there and so many workers working.

"Yes, it looks like we can exchange money on this island," Nami said expectantly.

The gold brought down from the sky island was still on the ship, taking up space and being inconvenient to carry and use, so it had to be exchanged for paper money.

The inhabited island they had passed earlier did not have a place to exchange money, but this island in front of them, with its strong commercial atmosphere and seemingly more developed economy, was very likely to have a place where they could exchange money.

"Hmm...we have more gold, let's exchange some of it first," Nami said thoughtfully, stroking her chin.

Exchanging too much gold at once, not to mention whether it's convenient to carry, would likely be difficult to withdraw so much corresponding banknotes even if there were places to exchange money on the island.

As for switching from one supplier to another if one isn't enough, that's one solution.

Good heavens, this is far too ostentatious. Are they desperate to let everyone know they're carrying a huge amount of treasure?

Even if they aren't afraid of trouble, being troubled is troublesome in itself, and they don't want to be unable to rest properly while staying on this island.

"That's settled then, Goku. You'll come with me to exchange for the gold later. Then Sanji and Robin, whoever wants to come with us, one of you will have to stay behind to watch the ship." After arranging the plan, Nami looked at Robin and Sanji.

"Wow!"

Before Robin and Sanji could reply, Poopo bravely raised its hand, saying that it would take care of watching the ship and that it would definitely be able to protect it.

"It's no problem to leave it to you, but you're a bit weak on your own, you'll need someone to keep you company," Nami replied with a smile.

"How can we let the ladies guard the ship? Let me and Pupu handle it. It'll also give me a chance to take stock of the inventory and make a purchasing plan. We can go shopping when you guys get back," Sanji said, lighting a cigarette with a charmingly masculine air.

"Alright! Thank you for your hard work!" Nami clapped her hands, beaming with joy.

Then he turned to Robin and Goku and said, "Goku, Robin, let's go exchange some money!"

"No problem!" Wukong said with a grin, holding his head.

"Okay." Robin nodded with a smile.

Before long, the three of them disembarked from the ship with a cloth bag filled with gold. They placed it on a small cart, which Wukong then dragged into the island.

Watching the three figures disappear into the distance, Sanji, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, turned to Pupu and said, "Pupu, you keep watch outside. Call me if anything happens. I'm going inside to check the inventory."

"Wow!" Pupu nodded, indicating that there was no problem.

After Sanji entered the cabin, he practiced punching on the deck while paying attention to the surroundings, looking very serious.

What they, and even Wukong and his companions who had already entered the island, were unaware of was that shortly after they docked their ship at the port, a gaze had secretly fallen upon them.

And they kept a close eye on their movements.

Because the port was bustling with people, Wukong and his companions never noticed the gaze upon them.

The gaze only returned after Goku and his companions entered the island and Sanji went into the cabin.

"Hey, I have something important to report to an adult."

On Saga Island, in the bustling city streets, Goku walked in the middle, with Nami and Robin on either side, looking like two older sisters taking their younger brother out for a stroll.

Of course, this ignores the cart full of things that Wukong was dragging.

"This little boy is so cute!" A stylishly dressed woman couldn't help but exclaim as she passed by them.

"Thank you, you're beautiful too!" Nami replied with a smile on Goku's behalf.

"You must be his sisters, why are you making him carry so much stuff?" Seeing Nami's kind demeanor, the woman asked another question.

The stroller made a clattering sound as it went over uneven surfaces, as if it were carrying something very heavy. This made her a little suspicious. Why was this little boy being made to carry such a heavy load? Was he being abused?

Seemingly noticing the doubt in the woman's eyes, Nami waved her hand and smiled naturally: "Oh, don't mention it. Those are all his toys. He treasures them so much that he insists on bringing them with him and won't let us touch them."

And these toys aren't heavy at all; look at him, he doesn't seem tired at all.

The woman looked at him and saw that Wukong was indeed pulling the cart with only one hand, and he did it with ease, without a trace of sweat on his face.

It seems she was indeed overthinking it.

"Oh, I see. I was being too sensitive. I'm so sorry." The woman smiled apologetically, then passed by Wukong and the others without lingering any longer.

After she left, Goku looked at Nami in confusion: "Nami, what were you talking about just now? What toy or not? Isn't that something like 'woo woo woo' on it?!"

Nami swiftly covered his mouth, glaring at him fiercely, and whispered urgently, "Have you forgotten what I told you before? You absolutely cannot mention those two words outside!"

After the incident with the Heroic Pirates, she repeatedly warned Goku never to mention gold in public, and especially never to say that they had a lot of gold on their ship.

She didn't want to experience that heart-pounding feeling of her secret being exposed to the light of day again.

Moreover, money is a powerful motivator.

She didn't think they'd be lucky enough to encounter people like the Hero Pirates every time, people who weren't tempted by large amounts of treasure.

In this world, the majority of people are greedy for wealth!

After asking around among the locals, Goku and his friends soon found the largest Beli exchange shop.

Before entering, Nami instructed Goku, "Goku, once we're inside, don't say or do anything. But if I tell you to do something, do it immediately, understand?"

Goku blinked his innocent eyes, not understanding why Nami had arranged things this way, but still obediently nodded: "I understand."

"Okay, let's go in then."

"

The three of them stepped inside together.
