Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue.

Chapter 538 A New Adventure

"Luffy, where have you gone again?"

"Hehehe, I'm going to become the Pirate King!"

"What's the point of being the Pirate King? Get back to work!" Belmabel looked helplessly at the grinning Luffy, then sighed again, her tone complicated, and said, "I wonder when we'll ever be able to pay back that 20 billion loan."

Thinking of this, Belmeber felt a pang of sadness again. Now that he thought about it, he... regretted it.

I regret giving up my high-paying job to come out and take this risk with these unreliable guys!

They originally thought that obtaining the Great Treasure would allow them to pay off their loan, but they never expected this!

I never expected this!

Of course, it's no use talking about this now.

Laugh Tale has been found, and their adventure is over, but the loan is still outstanding!

To be honest, their hearts skipped a beat when they saw the foreman again on Laugh Tale.

This is unbelievable!

It would have been better to have come with the foreman from the beginning!

Belmeber turned to look at Zoro, who was using his swordsmanship to chop wood, eliciting gasps of amazement and cheers.

But so what?

His swordsmanship has indeed improved, just like Zoro's, but his salary still hasn't increased!

"Get to work! Otherwise, we'll get our wages docked again!"

Belmeberg sighed, said something again, then walked to his assigned area, drew the two swords from his waist, and said in a low voice, "Dual Sword Style - [Settlement] - One Slash to Clear the Day!"

As soon as Belmeber finished speaking, the pile of wood in front of them was cleared away in the blink of an eye.

Immediately afterwards, another series of exclamations rang out.

As if asking...

Why would such a powerful swordsman fall to such a lowly state?

……

soon.

The morning's work is over.

While working, the three members of the Straw Hat Working Group each possessed unique skills, which amazed all the workers on the construction site.

Next, it was time for a break and lunch.

"Don't grab! Don't grab! Everyone gets some! Pudding, bring that bucket of rice over there too!"

Sanji, with blond hair and dressed in a chef's uniform, had a cigarette dangling from his lips. He was scooping up food and serving rice one by one with a large ladle in his right hand, and he and Pudding were working diligently.

When he saw the last one... and Luffy walked over, Sanji lifted the entire bucket of rice, covered it with the remaining dishes, and said, "This is all yours!"

"That's awesome, Sanji!"

Luffy skillfully carried the food bucket and ran towards the open space.

Seeing this, Sanji shook his head, took off his apron, looked at Pudding beside him, picked up the food he had prepared, and said with a smile, "Pudding, let's go eat too!"

"OK!"

And so the Straw Hat Working Group reunited once again!

Of course... it's not exactly a gathering!

Looking at her companions, Belmabel shook her head with a sigh, "I never imagined that Lucci and Kaku were actually spies for the World Government!"

After the war broke out between the East Blue Navy and the World Government, those two guys tried to knock them unconscious and take them to the World Government as well. Fortunately, they reacted in time and prevented Lucci and Kaku from succeeding.

Finally, the two escaped, returned to the World Government, and joined the war.

I heard he later sacrificed his life on the battlefield.

But no matter what, they had been adventuring together for so long and were partners. Being betrayed so suddenly was still a bit painful!

Seeing that everyone was a little downcast because of her words, Belmeber shook her head and said, "Forget it, let's not talk about this anymore."

Looking at Chopper beside him, he asked, "Chopper, why aren't you going back to Drum Kingdom? And what about Usopp?"

"Hehehe, because we're all partners, I won't leave you all until the debt is paid off! Helping people with their illnesses here is the same!" Chopper said with a firm tone and a grin, then added with a helpless tone, "As for Usopp, he said he went to gather information!"

"What intelligence gathering are you still doing?" Sanji scoffed. "I bet he's off slacking off somewhere! That guy's always like this!"

The voice just fell.

"Hahaha, I didn't slack off!" A confident laugh came from behind.

Everyone looked up at Usopp who had appeared.

Especially with Usopp's confident demeanor, his slightly raised head, and the thumbs-up he was giving himself, everyone knew... that Usopp had gathered some important information again.

only.

What use is intelligence these days?

Could it be that he also collected information on where the wages are higher for working?

Therefore, after glancing at Usopp, they ignored him and lowered their heads to eat their lunch.

Seeing that no one reacted, Usopp became anxious again and said, "Do you know what information I got this time? It will surprise you!"

"I don't know, and I'm not interested!"

"Wait a minute!" Seeing that everyone was still ignoring him, Usopp helplessly pulled out a piece of paper and said directly, "This is a big deal!"

He slammed his hand on the table, his tone serious.

"The space elevator has been completed, and pirate crews have been discovered in space, known as space pirate crews!"

"?!"

These words surprised even those who were initially uninterested.

There are even space pirate crews?

only……

"What does this have to do with us?"

"Of course it concerns us!" Usopp exclaimed excitedly. "The government has announced the successful development of a spaceship capable of traversing space, and has permitted all adventurers to venture into the cosmos. I've heard that the universe is teeming with precious metals and treasures, some even as large as an entire planet!"

"..." x3

It's all about treasures and precious metals.

Zoro, Vermeer, and Sanji's faces instantly darkened. "Who would believe such a rumor..."

however.

Before they could finish speaking...

"I've made up my mind! Let's go on a space adventure!" Luffy, who was eating heartily, suddenly jumped up excitedly, raising his hands. "I'm going to be the King of the Universe!"

"..."

I %￥#……

Is this ever going to end?

Belmabel stared at Luffy with a dark expression. "We haven't finished paying off our loan yet! And going on a space adventure requires a spaceship, which is probably more expensive than a pirate ship. We can't afford that right now!"

"It's okay!" Luffy waved casually, pulled his hat down low, and grinned, "We can still get a loan!"

"We haven't even finished paying off this debt, and you're already talking about loan repayments?" Belmabel turned to Zoro speechlessly. "Zoro, you..."

But before she could finish speaking, seeing Zoro's intrigued expression, she suddenly covered her face and exclaimed in despair, "It's over!"

……

News of the cosmic adventure spread throughout the entire ocean.

Not only are the new generation of adventurers interested in this, but even the veteran adventurers who had previously fallen silent have become curious about it.

After the space elevator was announced to be open and the space station was completed.

Countless adventure groups boarded the space elevator and arrived at the space station, hoping to begin new adventures.

At this time.

Inside a luxurious and enormous spaceship in this no longer silent universe.

The son of the Pirate King, the overlord of the East Blue, now known as the richest man on the sea, and the King of Crimson Romance—Horgon Raonman D. Mok, clad in the latest armor, arms crossed, gazed majestically at the universe before him and said calmly, "Old Crocodile, all done?"

The boss is really something, taking Robin and the others away but forgetting about his most important little brother!

"If everything's settled, let's head out. I'm going to find the boss; what will he do without me?"
