After leaving the Kokoyashi village as expected with Nami's Navigation the Going Marry continues its journey towards the Loguetown and Alex decided to check on his condition and rewards from the System before he arrives at The Loguetown.
Although the journey at first glance feels exciting and fun however only when it begins will you be able to understand the ups and downs of the journey, Alex who began the journey with the Straw Hats a few days ago thought it would not be that dangerous since in the story it looks quite fun.
However he was awakened from that dream after the battle with Arlong, a near death situation made him realize how reality works now he understands the difference between 3rd person viewer point and 1st person viewer point.
It is fun when someone falls if it's not you.
"Anyway there is no turning back it's time I make myself prepared for everything this world has to offer. " says Alex looking at the sky and closing his fist as if he is covering the whole sky murmurs "System open stroage. "
[Stroage: 10 kg iron sand, 2x Pistol. 55 million Bellies, 1x Named Sword, Gold 5kg, 1x Seastone iron screw, 1x Devil fruit curse removal scroll, 1x Armament Haki awakening scroll. ⟧
"Use 1x Devil fruit curse removal card. " commands Alex with a smile as warmth covers his body and he knows It's an indication of him getting removal from the curse of the sea then he used the Armament Haki awakening scroll and not long after he is able to cover his both hands with Armament Haki but us unable to make it black.
After he is done with the rewards from defeting Arlong Pirates he starts training his Devil fruit power since he is still recovering from his wounds from the previous battle.
Time gose very fast when you are doing something and in no time Going Merry arrives Loguetown.
"Hey, Alex stop sleeping we are at our destination. " calls Usopp from below while Alex is training his Devil fruit Powers.
"So this is Loguetown. " says Alex opening his eyes and observing the island city before him as he stood up.
"Is it alright to leave the ship while we roam the town? " asks Sanji with a curious face as he is yet to hear who is going to stay behind to guard it except him.
"Don't worry no one can steal our ship. " says Luffy with confidence before announcing "Alright guys get everything you need we are going to leave as soon as we get enough supply for the journey. "
"Alright? "
----------------------------
Entrance of Loguetown.
"Loguetwon, it's the only town where every pirate have to visit before they head to the Grand Lines and you can get everything you need in this place. " announces Nami with a smile as they stands at the gate of Loguetown.
"If that's the case then I am going to go on shopping. " informs Zoro with a smile looking around.
"Then I will be able to get some fresh ingredients and maybe some woman. " says Sanji with a thoughtful face.
"Since my Swords are broke maybe I can find a new one. " says Zoro with an interested face.
"I thought you are broke or maybe you can steal one. " advised Nami with a smile as she hears Zoro's worry.
"Well I am gonna find where they kill people. " announces Luffy with a smile before he runs through the crowd and mixing into the townspeople "I am going to find out where they executed the King of the Pirates. "
"Hey wait at least tell us where you are gonna be reunited after we are done? " calls out Usopp but alas Luffy is long lost in the middle of the crowd by now "Ahaaaa that's not good. "
"I guess that's the signal for us to start our shopping. " says Alex with a sigh as he looks at the mini-map at the corner 'Good thing I can keep a truck of the crew but there are a lot of hostile forces in this place as well. '
"Why are you still here? " asks Nami with a serious face turning towards Alex when he is the only one who is yet to leave to look for that he wants or ask for a loan from her.
"I am fine I don't need a lone with that high of an interest rate. " says Alex with a smile before he also gets lost in the crowd.
After leaving everyone Alex walks thrugh the crowd and before long using the mini Map arrives at his destination the Marine Base in Loguetown and discovers smoker walking out of the main gate.
Feeling someone starting at him Smoker turns to look at the direction and for some reson he felt familiar looking at the guy staring at him as if he wants to ask him something making him ask with a curious face "Do I know you? "
"No. " says Alex with a smile shaking his head while wondering if he will get some reward after defeting Smoker since he received Armament Haki awakening scroll Smoker should also provide him with something good however he is not sure if he should can witn attacking Smoker with his current condition.
"Then do you want to ask me something, I am very busy. " says Smoker looking at Alex as he still can't remember where he have seen him before.
"You should be Captain Smoker, I am Alex before I reported about Captain Nezumi to the Marine Headquarters and Rear Admiral Momosuagi told me to receive my reward from any Marine camp in East Blue. " explains Alex with smile.
"So you are the Bounty hunter who reported Nezumi. " says Smoker with a nod as he looks Alex from head to toe before asking "Did you defeat the Arlong Pirates? "
"Although I wanted to however Arlong Pirates clashed with some unknown Pirates and eventually is defeated and looking at their fight I wasn't sure if I can face the other party, so decided to step back for now. " explains Alex with a serious face.
After that Smoker leads Alex inside the base and gives him twenty million Bellies since he didn't defeat Arlong Pirates to receive double the Bounty and this amount is handed to him to keep silent about Nezumi as well as for informing them about his wrong doing.
"Do you know what happened to Nezumi after you informed Momosuagi About his colouration with Arlong Pirates? "
