One Piece: The Straw Hat Pirates' Mechanic

Because it was still very early, the market was busy.

The four of them walked side by side on the road. Except for Nami, the other three looked like Grandma Liu entering the Grand View Garden. They were extremely curious about everything they looked at.

So much so that Nami wanted to draw a clear line with the three boys for no other reason than it was too embarrassing!

"Luffy, don't just eat other people's things!" Carl angrily punched Luffy, but the latter still maintained his original action, took an apple and ate it happily, and even handed another one to Carl,"Carl, you eat it too, it's really sweet! Much better than those on the ship!"

"That's it, I just picked it this morning!"The old man selling apples immediately smiled and continued,"My apples are natural and pollution-free. They are not only big in size, but also good-looking, and they have no other advantages, except that they are sweet."

Karl took the apple, wiped it, and took a bite. It was indeed quite sweet, but this may also be related to the fact that he hasn't eaten fresh fruit for a long time.

"How much?"

"Two hundred Baileys each!" The old man held up two fingers.

"Oh? That's pretty cheap."Because it was his first time visiting the market, Carl didn't have much idea about the prices in this world. He only knew that he seemed to be quite rich now. Two hundred Baileys for an apple was not unacceptable.

So just when he was about to pick a few more, he was interrupted by Nami's voice.

"Nani? Two hundred beli?!!"Nami suddenly raised her voice,"Why don't you go and grab it?���Everyone sells three Baileys for one hundred, but you sell one for two hundred?"

"Is your apple skin made of gold, or are your apple seeds made of gold?"

"you...What do you mean? These are pure, natural, pollution-free, premium apples."

"Bah! I think you just want to rip us off because we are not from this town!" Nami hugged her shoulders, with an expression that showed she had seen through the truth,"One hundred yuan for two, sell them if you want, forget it if you don't want to!"

"Not for sale!"When the old man saw that his trick was discovered, his face did not turn red, and his heart did not beat.

"Humph! Sell it if you want, I don’t believe you’re the only one selling apples in this town!" Nami said, and was about to take them away.

But the old man was unwilling to leave, and he grabbed Luffy’s arm and refused to let him go, yelling:

"Pay the money. One apple costs 200 Baileys, two apples costs 400! You can’t leave without paying!"

"you!!!"Nami was so angry that her silver teeth crunched. You know, she has been at sea for so many years, but she has never eaten an apple worth two hundred Baileys!

"Looking for trouble, right? Then I'll make trouble with you!"Nami wasn't afraid at all, she acted like a shrew, stood in front of the stall and started shouting loudly,"Don't miss it if you pass by, come and take a look!"

"This old man actually dared to sell his apples for two hundred Baileys each!"

"Isn't this bullying me, a weak woman?"

"I didn’t expect that I would be alone and living in the sea for so long, and I would be bullied even if I eat an apple....."

"Tsk tsk, see, Luffy, you can't control this girl!" Seeing Nami acting like a drama queen and vowing to win an Oscar, Carl said to Luffy who looked confused.

"I don't understand..."

"Oh, forget it. Just remember not to eat other people's food next time! Although we have money, we can't be ripped off like a fool and count money for others."

"Oh, I see. Luffy nodded obediently.

【Got it, you’ll do it again next time, right! 】 Carl silently added the second half of the sentence for him in his heart.

Seeing more and more people gathered around him, the old man knew that he had hit a wall today, so he immediately gave in.

Just as Nami said before, he wanted to rip off these four people because they looked like outsiders and didn’t know the prices here.

But now that the other party has reacted and the matter is getting bigger and bigger, he can’t stand it anymore.

Because they are not locals, they just pat their butts and leave after making trouble, without any impact, but he is different, he still has to continue to set up a stall here!

If his reputation is ruined.......

"Hush, keep your voice down, my aunt! I was wrong, is it okay for me to be wrong?"

"No money, no money! Go away!��

"Humph, fight with me, you are still a little young. When I was wandering around on the street, you were still growing apples at home!"Nami puffed up her chest with a proud look on her face, grabbed two more apples, and floated away through the crowd as the old man blew his beard and glared.

"Here, little fat man, it’s yours!"Nami threw one of them to Kebi, and she took the remaining one and started to chew on it,"There are a lot of people like this, they just like to trick outsiders!"

"So be careful when you buy things, or you will be ripped off and have nothing left."

"ah? I think that old man is pretty good!"Luffy said in hindsight, causing the three of them to roll their eyes.

"Then let's find someone to ask where Sauron is! I can't wait to see him!"

"Why are you so anxious? In my opinion, let’s find a place to fill our stomachs first! Karl gave a different opinion,"I have to say that the cook on the ship is really bad, and the cooking is terrible.""

"Why not find a restaurant, have a good meal, then go to the bathhouse to take a bath, and buy some new clothes?"

"Oh, by the way, I still need to tidy up my hair and find a better barber to style it for me. I really can’t do it when I’m on a desert island."

"What about Zoro?"Luffy was obviously hesitant, as if he wanted to meet his next partner as soon as possible.

"It’s not like I won’t go see him, I just said it would be later! Karl explained patiently,"Besides, if you want to get him to join the gang, don't you first get to know him as a person?" Clean yourself up by the way"

"You can't go there in such a slovenly way! It won't make a good first impression on people. Will they be willing to go on board with you?"

"That's true!" Luffy touched his head,"Then listen to Carl, let's go eat first!"

So, in the next few hours, Carl took the three people to the most upscale restaurant in town, ordered a table full of delicious dishes, and then bought a few new clothes on the way, and then went to the bathhouse to take a hot bath.

Oh, by the way, Nami didn't follow, of course, she wanted to, but when Carl heard that she wanted him to untie the collar to prevent the hot water from detonating the explosives, he understood her idea, so he decisively rejected this idea and let her go to the hotel to talk business with those businessmen. After taking a bath, Carl can be said to be refreshed, feeling that the whole person is a lot more transparent, even walking is much easier.
