Naruto Online: Hyuga Branch Family? Let's go all out!

Chapter 262 Loguetown - The Great Pirate Buggy

The mouse delivered the money that afternoon.

No more, no less, exactly 1 million Berries.

It's obvious that this isn't Nami's original money, because Nami earns money in both whole and small denominations, as well as gold and silver jewelry, but the rat gave her only banknotes, and all of them in the largest denominations.

This money must have been confiscated from the dragon's lair.

Ning Yuan and Nokiko were quick enough to act, and after consuming the "Arrow Master's Way" experience book, they were not lacking in strength. So, they simply boarded a merchant ship bound for Loguetown that very night.

As for the houses and orange groves in Cocoyasi Village, if the two of them just leave like that, they definitely won't be able to keep them.

So Ningyuan simply took the land and seized all the houses and orange groves.

When the villagers arrived the next day, all that remained was a square, seven-meter-deep mud pit.

As for what was used to house and orange grove?

Ning Yuan brought a primordial space with him when he traveled through time.

The origin is not the primordial sphere, but a space with a flow of time.

However, this thing consumes a lot of energy, and Ningyuan couldn't open it before.

It was only after consuming the "Arrow Master's Way" experience book and advancing to the level of Great Arrow Master that I was barely qualified to use this item.

Between Cocossia Village and Rogge Town lies Orange Town.

However, the ship that Ningyuan and Nuoqigao were on was a direct route and did not stop at Orange Town.

What does this mean?

This means that the Straw Hat Pirates, who left Cocoyasi Village two days earlier, will be caught up by Ning Yuan!

"As expected!" After disembarking, Ning Yuan looked at the ships on the dock but did not find any trace of the Going Merry.

To be fair, Ning Yuan really liked the ship. When he was a kid, he watched anime and wondered what it would feel like to ride the waves on that ram's head.

He also cried when the Going Merry was burned.

"Speaking of ship spirits, they have great potential. They can navigate and sail automatically without needing to raise the sails. Wouldn't such a ship be better than the Thousand Sunny?" Ning Yuan stroked his chin, already eyeing the Going Merry.

The Going Merry is Luffy's ship, so logically, even if it breaks down, it should just be burned instead of given to someone else.

However, there is still room for maneuver. For example, Ning Yuan also boarded the ship and formed a bond with the Going Merry.

At that time, this ship will be yours, but it will also be mine. Rather than burning it, it's more reasonable to give it to me.

Furthermore, there's an advantage to joining the ship: you don't have to worry about missing out on some big characters, such as Dragon, Crocus, and Herodoja.

Besides, rides on the pirate ship are free!

"What do we do next?" Nojiko looked at the bustling town in front of her and nervously grabbed Ningyuan's arm.

This was the first time in her life she had ever been to such a bustling town.

There is another town next to Cocoyasi Village, but because it was in league with the Navy, it was massacred by the Arlong Pirates, and its prosperity is far inferior to that of Loguetown in front of it.

Ning Yuan remained calm. In his eyes, Luoge Town was nothing more than a rural town from his previous life, just with a larger population. What was there to be nervous about?

"Let's find a place to stay first, and then go and pay a visit to the naval commander here!" Ning Yuan said.

"Why would you visit him?" Nokiko asked curiously.

Ning Yuan smirked: "The naval captain here, Smoker, is a good man who believes in justice and can't tolerate any wrongdoing, so we'll tell him everything the rat has done!"

"Huh?" Nojiko was taken aback. "But didn't you say that people like rats are useful?"

"We should keep it!"

"Then why report to that Smoker guy?"

Ning Yuan smiled and said, "Even if I report it, Smoker can't do anything about Rat. After that report, Rat has become a rising star in the Navy. The Navy won't allow such a rising star to suddenly have his dark past exposed; they'll only try their best to cover it up!"

"Smoker clearly sensed the darkness within the Navy, yet he was powerless to do anything about it! I really want to know what kind of expression Smoker had at that moment!"

Nojiko was speechless: "You're such a bad person!"

Ning Yuan nodded: "Maybe!"

He felt that he had been suppressing himself too much in the Naruto world, so much so that he was letting loose a bit in the One Piece world.

The main reason is that he has a passive ability called "Mirror of Still Water" in the Naruto world, which makes him very calm and all his choices very rational.

But Ning Yuan in the One Piece world doesn't have this passive advantage.

Ning Yuan stopped and looked ahead.

They walked along the main street of Loguetown, the most bustling area of ​​the town, which naturally attracted merchants, nobles, bounty hunters, and even pirates from all over.

With these people mixed together, conflict is inevitable.

Since there will be conflict, there will naturally be naval patrols on this street.

At this moment, a naval patrol was in front of them, and the leader of the naval officers was also an acquaintance of Ning Yuan.

Navy Petty Officer Tashigi was a country bumpkin two years ago. Although she was pretty, her clothes were unfashionable and her temperament could only be described as somewhat fresh and innocent.

But two years later, Tashigi was completely different. Not only was she promoted to colonel, but her demeanor also improved dramatically.

Of course, there's also the most crucial factor: body shape.

However, in this world, physiques that are considered "outstanding" are so common that good physiques are no longer considered a highlight.

"Huh?" Tashigi had just directed a vendor to move his stall back a bit when she felt a burning gaze coming from the side.

She turned her head and her eyes lit up immediately.

Standing in that direction was a man and a woman who looked like a perfect couple.

The man was wearing a fitted white suit, looking refined and elegant.

The girl wore a white long dress with a hooded white cloak draped over it, revealing a section of her fair and slender legs beneath the dress. She looked very elegant.

Besides their impeccable fashion sense and exceptional charisma, both of them were also incredibly good-looking; the man was probably the most handsome man Tashigi had ever seen in her life.

Nojiko, who has fused with the bloodline of ice, is probably the most beautiful woman Tashigi has ever seen.

For some reason, Tashigi felt a sense of inferiority.

"Is he a nobleman?" Tashigi muttered to herself, then approached Ning Yuan. "Sir, I am Navy Petty Officer Tashigi. I noticed you've been watching us closely; is there anything we can do to help you?"

"Isn't your navy only responsible for eliminating pirates? Why are you involved in this?" Ning Yuan asked.

"Um, the navy in Loguetown is a bit different!" Tashigi was taken aback, then quickly explained, "Most of our marines are recruited from the locals, so they're used to helping the townspeople with whatever they can!"

"Oh, that's a pity!" Ning Yuan nodded.

Tashigi blinked: "What's a pity?"

"It's a pity, but you can't hear it!" Ning Yuan smiled and was about to turn and leave when he suddenly pulled out a pistol, aimed it at his back, and fired.

"boom!"

A violent explosion rang out from behind. Tashigi hurriedly crossed Ningyuan, only to find that thick ice crystals had risen up at the center of the explosion. Although the surrounding people were all horrified, they were surprisingly unharmed!

"Is this... a Marine Admiral?" Tashigi was bewildered, after all, the only person she knew who could control ice and snow seemed to be Admiral Aokiji.

After a long while, Tashigi suddenly screamed, "Ah!"

"What?! Evacuate quickly!" Ning Yuan said irritably.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Tashigi nodded quickly. The explosion just now was clearly not a natural occurrence; it must have been an attack.

So, who was the attacker?

Tashigi ordered the marines to disperse the crowd, but in reality, there was no need to disperse them. There were so many pirate fights here that the people knew to hide on their own.

But instead of hiding far away, they hid in windows, walls, or even the most secluded corners.

While ensuring your own safety, try to watch the entire event.

As the ice crystals dissipated, a group of people dressed in circus costumes appeared at the end of the road.

"Kiba the Clown?" Ning Yuan asked.

"It's Bucky, Bucky!" Bucky roared angrily, then raised his foot again: "The Bucky Bomb was pretty powerful, wasn't it!"

"That's right!" Ning Yuan nodded. "So why did you attack us?"

"Are you that reporter Ning Yuan?" Bucky shouted. "I heard you're carrying 100 million Berries. Hand over the money, and I might spare your life. Otherwise, I may know you, but my Bucky Cannon doesn't!"

"So he's not a nobleman, he's a reporter?" Tashigi blushed inexplicably, but her mood lightened considerably.

Wait, how does he have 100 million Berries?

"Your information network is really impressive!" Ning Yuan exclaimed in surprise.

He took 100 million from the rats and then boarded a ship to Roggetown.

The journey took only five days, and in those five days, Bucky not only learned that he had money, but also came with him to Loguetown!

That's incredibly awesome!

As for who leaked the secret, it must have been the marines under Rat's command.

If the upper beam is crooked, the lower beam will be crooked too. If the rat himself is colluding with the evil dragon, then don't blame his marines for following suit and selling information to make extra money!
