Pirates: Building High Walls Starting from the East Blue.

Chapter 57 Trading

"Hello, Mr. Shacher, Ms. Robin~"

"Chopper, long time no see! You're still as cute as ever!"

"I'm not that cute~"

Chopper scratched his head shyly and happily after being praised by Robin, which made him burst into laughter.

Shache looked at Chopper and remembered his trip.

That's right, he came here not only to have Dr. Kureha examine Bonnie's illness, but also for other purposes.

"Chopper, how's that thing I asked you to do last time?"

"Oh, right! I heard Mr. Shache was here, so I came all the way here." Hearing Shache's words, Chopper also realized what was going on, and solemnly took out two bottles from his little blue backpack, saying, "The things Mr. Shache asked me to do last time have been developed. I also specifically asked Dr. Kureha, and Dr. Kureha said there would be no problem. It should... it should work, right?"

Her tone seemed a little nervous and expectant, "I don't know if it meets Mr. Xia Che's requirements."

This is the first time I've made something like this, and Mr. Xia Che spoke so solemnly back then, so I'm still a little nervous about the finished product now, but I also want to get recognition from others.

"You really figured it out? You truly are an excellent doctor." Hearing Chopper's words, Xia Che's eyes lit up slightly. He took the two bottles Chopper offered and said cheerfully, "So, what do you think? How about joining me? Don't worry, I'll definitely treat you well. You can even build a research institute and a huge hospital if you want!"

As soon as he said that...

Before Chopper, who was both happy and shy about being called an "excellent doctor," could say anything, Dr. Kureha, who was holding a bottle of wine, said irritably, "You little brat, you kept it from me and had Chopper researching some kind of beauty and weight loss stuff. I haven't even settled accounts with you yet, and now you're trying to poach my people right in front of me?"

"I...I...Dr. Kureha." Chopper, who was feeling shy, became nervous when he heard Dr. Kureha's question and quickly said, "Dr. Kureha, it was my own choice. Please don't blame Mr. Shache."

"You idiot son, how am I supposed to ask for a huge sum of money later if you keep acting like this?" Dr. Kureha looked at Chopper helplessly, then took a big gulp of plum wine, turned to look at Shacher, and although there was a smile on her lips, it was clear that her tone was a little serious. "Don't mistreat my idiot son. He's been researching this for a long time, and he hasn't slept for a long time, waiting for your arrival. I've already checked it out, and I'm sure you'll be satisfied."

"Don't worry, I still have that much integrity. Everyone who does business with me knows that." Ignoring Daz Bones's dark expression, Shache smiled at Chopper. "I definitely won't treat Chopper unfairly. I'll arrange everything. I'm sure this thing will make a fortune!"

At this time.

Upon hearing Xia Che's words, Dr. Kureha smiled with satisfaction and took a big gulp of liquor.

Nami, standing nearby, immediately brightened up upon hearing about the potential for making big money. She looked curiously at the two bottles and asked, "Make money? What are these things?"

"This blue bottle is for applying to the skin; it makes the skin firm and smooth. This red bottle is for internal use; it can help you lose weight and maintain your figure, making your body healthier and slimmer." Hearing Nami's question, Chopper realized what was going on. Although a little nervous, as a doctor, he quickly explained, "I specifically asked Dr. Kureha, and I've already tried it. Absolutely, absolutely no problem."

As soon as he said that...

"?!"

Nami and Kuina's eyes lit up immediately, and even the usually elegant and intellectual Robin couldn't help but squint her eyes as she looked at the two small bottles.

Immediately afterwards...

Seemingly remembering something, Nami curiously turned her head to look at Dr. Kureha, then quietly walked to Shattrath's side and asked, "How old is she?"

"More than a hundred..."

however.

Before Xia Che could finish speaking, a wine bottle suddenly flew over, but Xia Che managed to dodge it.

"Hehehe, little girl." Dr. Kureha pulled out another bottle of plum wine from somewhere and said cheerfully, "It's impolite to suddenly ask a lady's age, you know!"

"I...I'm sorry!" Nami chuckled awkwardly after hearing Dr. Kureha's words.

That was indeed somewhat impolite; I should have asked in private.

Of course~

Although Xia Che didn't finish speaking, the half-sentence she just heard had already made her guess that the energetic Dr. Kureha in front of her was definitely older than she had imagined.

She glanced at Dr. Kureha from head to toe.

then.

Nami hugged Shache excitedly and said, "It's definitely going to make money, and it'll definitely make a lot of money, I..."

Before Nami could finish speaking...

Kuina and Robin, who were standing nearby, also came over with smiles.

"Senior Brother Xia Che~"

"Dear Boss~"

"Stop, let's talk about it when we get back!" Xia Che interrupted them helplessly, saying, "You two can figure out what to do then!"

really……

This stuff will definitely sell very well on the high seas.

That's true. Consider the unique nature of the sea. Apart from a few women, once the rest get older, no matter how beautiful they were when they were young, their figures will eventually go out of shape and become very exaggerated, making them look like completely different people.

He originally just wanted Chopper to try it out, but unexpectedly, he actually succeeded.

At this time.

"If you're going to flirt, please do it later in your own room. There are children and me here, so please be mindful." Dr. Kureha's words made Robin and the others quite embarrassed, but she still didn't seem to care. "Now, let's talk about my payment!"

"Please be sure to..." Upon hearing Dr. Kureha's words, Big Bear's expression changed, and he was about to say something serious when...

"Speak!" Shacher interrupted Big Bear, looking at Dr. Kureha, and said, "How much do you need this time?"

however.

Dr. Kureha didn't answer him immediately. Instead, she took another big gulp of her drink and glanced around at Shacher. "Hehehe, you've got a bunch of vicious bastards around you! Are you planning to become a pirate?"

"..."

Why is this guy saying the same thing as Crocus did back then?

You should know that apart from a few people, everyone else around him, including himself, is a kind-hearted and good person!

They can be considered a kind and good family on this vast sea!

Xia Che, his face darkening, was about to say something when...

Dr. Kureha took another swig, looked at Shacher, and said cheerfully, "This time I won't take any money, just do me a favor!"

Without any hesitation, he continued, "You know that kid Walbourne? He's such a nuisance. Just help me secretly beat him up!"

The words were spoken.

Shacher looked at Dr. Kureha with a strange expression, before he could even speak.

"Is there a problem?" Dr. Kureha said with a smile again, "If it really doesn't work, you can pay!"

"No need~, I'll still lose a little! I'll give you more!" Xia Che refused Dr. Kureha's suggestion to pay, and turned directly to look at the impatient Big Bear and the grinning Moke, "Work's here, Moke! Big Bear!"

"Okay, boss~"

"Yes, Boss~"

……

This is the Naval Headquarters.

Since the Alabasta incident ended, Sengoku has been busy for several days, and only today has he finally had some free time.

Sengoku leisurely sipped his hot black tea, opened the few remaining packets of senbei he had, popped a few pieces into his mouth, and then sighed, "That bastard has only been back for a few days and he's almost finished all my snacks."

Sure enough, that bastard's return is bound to bring trouble.

After cursing Garp in his heart, the Warring States Marshal lowered his head and looked at the documents on the table.

The Alabasta incident did not have a significant impact due to the World Government's strong pressure, and therefore, the Moko Pirates' bounty did not increase.

only.

"The appointment of a Shichibukai..." Fleet Admiral Sengoku looked at the appointment letter from the World Government with a headache. "Are we really going to appoint this guy as one of the Shichibukai?"

Although in his eyes all those so-called legitimate pirates of the Seven Warlords of the Sea were no good, wasn't it too frivolous to appoint a pirate who had just left the East Blue as one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?

Even the Portgas D. Ace scandal that caused such a stir not long ago didn't happen this fast!

And speaking of which...

These two guys do look somewhat alike!

Both crews caused quite a bit of trouble as soon as they entered the Grand Line from the East Blue, and were quickly invited to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea. The only difference is that the Moko Pirates were already fighting against the Navy when they were in the East Blue.

In comparison, the other one, though also noisy, was not as arrogant.

"Well, the higher-ups have already made their decision." Sengoku sighed, looking at the bounty on the table. "If it can make this guy behave, that would be good too."

If we can't catch this guy who's already so arrogant in the East China Sea, who knows what kind of big incident he'll cause once he enters the Grand Line.

Of course~

It's estimated that getting this ambitious guy to accept an appointment from the World Government won't be that easy.

Having made up his mind, Zhan Guo was about to call for help when...

A navy officer rushed in, looking anxious, and said, "Fleet Admiral Sengoku, we've received a distress signal from the Drum Kingdom! A group of pirates has entered the Drum Kingdom and captured their king!"

"Drum Kingdom? Pirates?" Upon hearing the Navy's words, Fleet Admiral Sengoku was also taken aback, then rubbed his head with a headache. "Why is it another member state? I just finished dealing with the Alabasta incident, and now another member state! Tell me, which pirate crew is it?"

"Um... the Momok Pirates!"

"..." Sengoku's lips twitched, and he said with a hint of self-doubt, "Which pirate crew?"

"The Moko Pirates, Fleet Admiral Sengoku!"

As the marine finished speaking.

Fleet Admiral Sengoku rubbed his forehead, looking exasperated. "Why is it the Mok Pirates again? Can't they just stay quiet for a bit? This time they even dared to attack a member state? Do they think they can disregard the Navy? Or are they trying to declare war on us again?"

It's only been a few days.

They've caused trouble again. There aren't many pirates as disruptive as them.

It's only been a few days since it entered the Grand Line, and it's already dared to attack member states. What will this guy dare to do next?

You must know this is the Grand Line!

"Give me a notice to the naval branches along the Grand Line to corner this guy in the first half of the Grand Line. Forget it, this guy isn't so easy to catch. Even Crocodile fell into his hands. Let's call a meeting of all the admirals at headquarters now!"
