Due to its geographical location, and the fact that it is the hometown of the Pirate King Roger, Loguetown is very famous throughout the New World.

Many boats pass by here every day, making it quite lively.

The navy was naturally aware of this situation.

So just in case...

The Navy specifically dispatched Smoker, known as the "White Hunter," to be stationed in this area.

Meanwhile, Luffy and his crew had stopped at a remote port.

The Navy has just issued arrest warrants for them, and they are currently in the eye of the storm.

We still need to proceed with caution.

After parking the Going Merry, everyone prepared to explore the town of Loguetown.

Take a look at this town where 057 begins and ends.

They also took the opportunity to purchase some supplies needed for their upcoming voyage.

After all, who knows when we'll encounter a small town again?

After making their agreement, the group headed towards the town.

"It truly lives up to its reputation."

Bai Luo walked down the street, where crowds of people were everywhere she looked.

It's exactly as rumored.

He saw all sorts of races.

Everyone had a smile on their face, more or less.

It seems that things are indeed doing well under Smoker's management.

While everyone else went to buy supplies, Bai Luo decided to try some local snacks.

However, not long after he walked out.

Bai Luo suddenly stopped in his tracks.

A playful smile curved his lips.

"It seems to be someone I know."

"Hey, old man, it's time to pay your protection money this month!"

An extremely arrogant voice entered Bai Luo's ears.

At this moment, directly in front of Bai Luo.

There was a sleazy young man with a grass-green slicked-back hairstyle, wearing a yellow coat, and a nose ring.

Upon seeing him, Bai Luo's lips unconsciously curled up.

In the entire pirate world, apart from the most lewd Marine Admiral Kizaru...

This guy should be ranked second.

Bartolomeo, the user of the Barrier-Barrier Fruit.

He will also be Luffy's loyal little fanboy in the future.

"Boss, please give me a few more days. I'll definitely raise the money as soon as possible."

An old man with gray hair begged Bartolomeo, his face showing utter humility.

"I'll give you a few more days?"

"I've already given you more than a month's grace period, and you're still pushing your luck!!"

Bartolomeo poked his nose with his finger, then tapped the old man's forehead a few times.

"Old man, if you don't come up with protection money today, I'd better pack my things and get the hell out of here!!"

"If you don't pay, plenty of others will!!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bartolomeo crossed his arms, his face full of impatience.

"Hey! Bartolomeo, are you robbing the residents' property again??"

Suddenly, a navy officer stepped out from the crowd.

However, Bartolomeo merely gave him a cold look before retorting:

"Don't talk nonsense here!!"

 "There are so many people here, don't just say things like that. It was clearly this old guy who voluntarily asked for our protection."

"Now that he's not paying, he's already broken the rules, so I don't think I should be blamed, right?"

Bartolomeo said with a cold laugh.

He's in the right this time, and he's genuinely afraid of the navy.

He even wanted to piss on his head.

"You bastard!"

The Navy knew that Bartolomeo's behavior was not out of line.

He left after uttering a curse.

It's true that the old man was in the wrong first, and there's nothing he can do to help.

Of course, the most important reason is that the man in front of me is a Devil Fruit user.

They are incredibly powerful.

He didn't want to offend anyone for no reason.

"Old man, now you've lost the person who was backing you up. Hand over the money now."

Bartolomeo stood with his hands on his hips, spitting everywhere.

It implies that they're ready to fight at the slightest provocation.

I've paid back the money he owed you!

A very hearty voice suddenly rang out from the crowd.

Bai Luo walked out with a smile.

He then took out some Pele and waved it in front of Bartolomeo.

"Is this enough to pay back the protection money he owes you?"

"Enough, enough, that's enough."

How could that not be enough? Bartolomeo's eyes are filled with Pele's shape.

"Hey bro, do you know this old guy?"

Fearing that Bai Luo might change his mind, Bartolomeo quickly put the Beli in Bai Luo's hand away and then casually put his arm around Bai Luo's shoulder.

"I don't know you, I just want to be your friend."

"Become my friend??"

Upon hearing this, Bartolomeo's eyes darted around.

I don't know what he's planning.

"Good brother, since we get along so well, let's find a good place to drink and chat."

"It's my treat this time, what do you think?"

"OK then."

This is also what Bai Luo meant.

So the two of them walked in one direction.

What Bai Luo didn't know was...

It was just in a corner outside.

"Oh my god, am I seeing things??"

"Could that guy next to Bartolomeo be the Straw Hat Pirates' vice-captain, Palkia?"

"How did he end up here?"

"Report this to Colonel Smoker immediately!"

0 ....

At that moment, Colonel Smoker was drinking in a secluded tavern.

These taverns have a long history.

Although it may not be as busy as many pubs outside.

But Smoker still prefers these historic pubs, slowly savoring the rich aroma of the wines.

Whenever he comes here, he feels incredibly relaxed.

Take him for example, right now.

"Here you go again. But did you have ice cream before coming here?"

The small, thin bar owner, wearing small black sunglasses, laughed as he looked at the marks on Smoker's body.

"I bumped into it by accident on my way here."

Looking at the very obvious marks on his thighs, Smoker appeared very casual and unassuming.

This couldn't spoil his enjoyment of the wine.

Just as he expertly took out a bottle of fine wine, about to pour himself a glass and savor it slowly...

The Den Den Mushi in my arms suddenly rang at an inopportune moment.

But Smoker answered the call immediately.

"Hello, this is Smoker!"

"Colonel Smoker, I spotted the Straw Hat Pirates' first mate, '057' Long White Rock, in Loguetown. I suspect the entire Straw Hat crew has arrived in Loguetown to resupply."

The naval soldiers blurted out all their guesses at once.

Are these guys planning to invade the New World??

"They just turned the East China Sea upside down, they really acted fast!"

"Hurry up and catch up with him, don't lose them, I'll be there soon!"

"Yes, Colonel Smoker!"

"No masturbation, no masturbation-"

The navy acknowledged the order and left.

"I didn't expect that after causing enough trouble in the East China Sea, they would plan to cause trouble in the New World."

Smoker shook his head helplessly.

"Looks like another group of remarkable juniors. Are you going to go and capture them?"

"Well, that's my duty."

"Now that they've been discovered, their adventure is truly over."

Smoker's calm words revealed boundless confidence.

The tavern owner just chuckled and didn't say anything more.

Clearly, he had some knowledge of Smoker's abilities.

Smoker stood up, about to leave the tavern.
