Walking across the island, Ron led the girls to the center, where a village was located.
In the village, there were a few pirates disguised as civilians. Although the village was not large, the streets were lined with stalls selling various goods.
The girls' eyes lit up at the sight, and they eagerly ran over to start shopping.
The street wasn't very long, but Ron felt like it took forever as he watched the girls inspecting the various items at the stalls. He couldn't help but shake his head; it seemed that girls, no matter the world, had an affinity for shopping.
"Girls, maybe we should find a place to eat!" Ron suggested after noticing that the girls didn't buy much despite browsing for a while.
"Oh yeah, let's get something to eat!" Nami casually dropped the goods in her hand, and amidst the somewhat speechless expression of the stall owner, she pulled Nojiko and Kaya along.
Ron found himself surrounded by the girls, with Kaya taking Nami's hand and pulling Ron's. "Ron, what are we going to eat today?"
"Of course, we'll try the local specialty of the island!" Ron decided. "Let's find a place to eat first!"
"There's a restaurant up ahead. Shall we go there?" Makino pointed at a seafood restaurant.
"Hmm, we've been eating seafood for days. Do we really want more?" Ron thought with a wry smile.
"Good point!" Makino agreed.
"There's a tavern over there. Let's eat there!" Nami suggested, pointing to a busy tavern.
"A tavern?" Ron's expression changed slightly as he looked at her. Then he looked back at the street and thought to himself: "Isn't this the place I saw in my premonition earlier? Can I really predict the future?"
"No, there was a strange and familiar figure in the future vision I had. Could this person be in this tavern?" Ron entered the tavern with the girls, feeling a sense of anticipation.
The tavern was busy, with many patrons seated at tables, enjoying their food and drink.
As Ron settled in, he left the task of ordering to Nami, Kaya and Apis. He scanned the room, but didn't see the figure he was looking for. "The image in my vision was a bit blurry. I couldn't see the figure clearly... But since I saw our group and that figure in the tavern, something important might happen later. After all, there were no other guests in the picture at that time."
"How many meals did you order?" Ron asked as he returned to the table and found it filled with various dishes, including seafood, meat, and vegetarian options.
"Brother Ron, aren't you an expert at eating? We should order more!" Kaya mischievously stuck out her tongue.
"Kaya, you're spoiling him!" Nojiko teased.
"Thank you, Kaya! But don't worry, there's enough for everyone," Ron chuckled and ruffled Kaya's hair affectionately.
"I want some too!" Apis piped up eagerly.
"Of course, Apis! Help yourself," Ron replied warmly.
Being a tavern, of course, they served wine. Ron chose beer, while the girls enjoyed juice. With his robust physique and high energy needs, Ron ate heartily and made short work of most of the food. Fortunately, food was plentiful in this world, with various large sea creatures and beasts available for consumption.
While they were eating and chatting, a cloaked woman entered the tavern.
Scanning the room, she seemed about to leave when she noticed Ron and his companions. After a moment's hesitation, she changed her mind and approached their table, taking a seat nearby.
As she removed her hood, revealing striking blue hair and delicate features, Ron's eyes widened in recognition. It was Princess Vivi!
"It's her!" Ron thought excitedly, immediately strategizing how to get her to join their crew.
Nami caught Ron's eye and playfully scolded him. "Hey, keep your eyes on your plate, you damn flirt!"
"I'm just curious. She seems important," Ron defended himself with a grin. "There might be more to her than meets the eye."
Rolling her eyes, Nami threw a piece of meat onto Ron's plate. "Eat it before it gets cold!"
Kaya giggled mischievously, stealing glances at Princess Vivi. "She's really pretty, isn't she? I bet Ron is already planning his pitch to recruit her to our crew!"
Determined to assist Ron in this endeavor, Kaya silently vowed to help make it happen, hoping to win his approval.
Meanwhile, Princess Vivi ate quietly, lost in thought, her troubled expression not lost on Ron.
Remembering the drought in the Kingdom of Alabasta at this time, Ron speculated that Vivi, aware of Crocodile's nefarious plans, had infiltrated Baroque Works with Igaram to gather information.
Vivi's alias in Baroque Works was Miss Wednesday, known for her keen intellect despite her modest fighting skills.
"But where's her partner, the speedy duck Karoo?" Ron wondered briefly before returning his attention to the situation at hand. He knew that something important was about to happen in the tavern, as his premonition had indicated.
