Phoenix Reborn In One Piece

Chapter 17: Chapter 17: Loguetown, Time to Get Rich?



"Ah~ so good~ I'm so full~~"

"It was really good, Nami, your nose is amazing."

After eating ten dishes, the two kids leaned back in their chairs, rubbing their round bellies.

"Boss, check please!" Nami called to Jehalon at the counter.

Jehalon heard and came over right away.

He usually wasn't this diligent; these were tasks for the waiters.

But seeing it was two kids, and knowing they had been bullied earlier, Jeharon was especially kind to Ryuen and Nami.

"Two little guests, the total is 10,500 berries, but 10,000 is fine." Jehalon said with a smile.

"10,000 berries..." Nami counted out ten 1,000-berry bills from her bag and handed them to Jehalon.

"Here, boss, this is 10,000." Little Nami said softly.

"Thank you, little guests. But I need to warn you, that guy Bart is a slave trader.

He might have his eyes on you now, so I suggest you go home quickly." Jeharon looked at the two cute and handsome kids with sympathy.

"Huh? A slave trader?" Nami's eyes showed fear.

Even in East Blue, people knew how scary slave traders were.

After all, even in East Blue, slave ships appeared from time to time.

"Thank you, boss. We'll go home now." Ryuen said calmly.

He took Nami's hand and walked out of the restaurant. It seemed they still lacked experience, not noticing Bart's intentions earlier.

But Ryuen wasn't afraid. If they were in the Grand Line, he might be more cautious.

But this was East Blue, where the base commander of Loguetown was the strongest.

A few slave traders didn't worry Ryuen.

"Don't worry, Nami. You forgot, I'm very strong. I could lift ten of those big guys with one hand!" Ryuen comforted little Nami.

"That's right, and I'm a Door-Door Fruit user now, so I don't have to be afraid of them!" Nami finally calmed down.

She had been scared by the words "slave trader," but even in Loguetown, there were hidden talent agencies.

Seeing Nami cheerful again, Ryuen felt relieved and continued exploring Loguetown with her.

Even without mastering Observation Haki, Ryuen still sensed that someone was following them.

The people following them were probably related to that slave trader Bart!

"Nami, those slave traders are still following us. We should deal with them first, or it will be uncomfortable to have them always behind us," Ryuen said softly.

His words seemed to have already sentenced those slave traders to death.

Nami's young face showed a slight frown.

"So... how do we get rid of them?" Nami asked quietly.

Having people always following them made her feel uncomfortable too.

Ryuen looked around and then decided on a direction: "Follow me~"

Ryuen pulled Nami towards a dark, empty alley.

When the four people following them saw this, their deformed faces lit up with joy.

Such a secluded place made it easier for them to capture the two kids!

The four of them rushed into the alley, but they didn't see anyone, as if they had disappeared into thin air!

"Boss, they're over there!" one of the lackeys shouted, pointing up the hill.

The other three looked in that direction and indeed saw Ryuen and Nami.

"How did they get there so fast?"

"Now's not the time to discuss that, hurry up and catch them!"

"Yes, boss!"

The four slave traders climbed over the alley wall and chased after them.

However, when they got to the hill, they saw Ryuen and Nami several hundred meters away.

The four of them could only keep chasing, panting heavily, until they reached a big tree, where Ryuen and Nami's figures disappeared completely.

"Damn it!"

"They got away!"

Bart angrily slapped the big tree.

"Boss, what do we do now?" one of the lackeys asked.

"Let's go back. Tonight, a big shot is coming. As long as we meet his demands, we can leave here and go to the Grand Line!" Bart said directly.

Talking about this made Bart feel a bit pained.

The big shot had a huge appetite, and to go to the Grand Line, they might have to give up all their savings from these years.

The other three thought about leaving East Blue and going to the legendary Grand Line, and their expressions turned crazy.

Then Bart led his three lackeys, ready to return to Loguetown.

Suddenly, Ryuen appeared in front of them.

"Boss, it's that boy who disappeared earlier!" one of the lackeys said greedily, looking at Ryuen.

In these times, good-looking things were expensive, and slaves were no exception!

"Gahaha~"

"Didn't expect you to come to us yourself. Boys, catch him!" Bart shouted fiercely.

"Yes, boss!"

The three lackeys immediately rushed at Ryuen.

Ryuen looked at the three attacking him without any expression, and a small flame ignited on his left finger.

Just as the three lackeys got close, Ryuen threw the flame at them.

"Ah!!!"

"Boss! Help me!"

"What kind of fire is this? I can't put it out!"

"Ah! It hurts!"

In just a few seconds, the three henchmen turned into fire people!

Before their bones were even burned to ashes, Bart couldn't make any move.

He was so scared by what he just saw that his legs went weak.

"A... Devil Fruit! You're a Devil Fruit user!" Bart slowly came to his senses, looking at Ryuen with eyes full of fear.

"How about it? Surprised?" Ryuen asked Bart with interest.

At this moment, Nami opened a door in the air and walked out from the alternate space.

"Huh? There's still one left? Ryuen, didn't you take care of all of them?" Nami thought Ryuen had taken care of all four, so she came out from the alternate space.

Another Devil Fruit user! Bart was now on the verge of tears.

He had never even seen a Devil Fruit user before, and today he met two...

"Of course, I left him for robbing. He's a slave trader, so he must have a lot of treasure!"

Hearing this, Nami's eyes immediately turned into berry shapes!

"Yes, yes!"

"I have treasure, and a lot of berries too. I'll give them all to you, just don't kill me!" Bart said in a panic, crying.

"Good, you're smart. Now, take us to it!" Ryuen said coldly, looking at Bart.

"Don't try anything funny. Ryuen is very strong!" Nami glared at Bart fiercely.

But to others, Nami's fierce expression only made her look cuter.

"I... I wouldn't dare!" Bart quickly promised.

These two kids were like little devils. They killed those three henchmen without any hesitation.

He didn't dare to risk his life.
