Chereads / Trader In The World Of Pirates!!! / Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Cocoyashi Village!

Chapter 18 - Chapter 18: Cocoyashi Village!

  "Bounty, bounty..."

  Shortly after Leo left, Zoro instantly took out the list of bounty orders on his waist and began to inspect it from top to bottom.

  Those of them who are bounty hunters can get some information about other wanted criminals from the navy when exchanging bounties, so as to better maintain security at sea.

  And just as Zoro was searching for any suitable lucky ones nearby...

  a deafening roar suddenly came from the coast of the island.

  "ROOOAAARRR——!!!"

  The terrifying sound waves shook the ground, and the beams in the room began to shake, throwing off a large amount of dust.

  In an instant, the ground began to tremble, as if it was screaming.

   and the hearts of everyone in the town trembled. They all raised their heads in fear and looked towards the coast.

  "What's wrong?! Is it an earthquake!?"

  In the restaurant, Zoro quickly followed the panicked crowd to the street.

  Suddenly, they discovered that at the edge of the island, a gigantic creature several hundred meters tall, like a giant beast in the void, appeared out of thin air on the coast.

  And that ear-splitting roar just now came from that giant beast.

  "This... What kind of monster is that?!"

  Zoro put his hand on the sword at his waist and looked at the giant beast in shock.

  At this moment, his keen eyesight suddenly discovered that there was a figure as big as a grain of rice above the giant beast…

 In a daze, he could still see that in the arms of the figure, he was holding a puppy-like figure.

  "Could it... be... Leo!?"

  Such an idea suddenly appeared in Zoro's mind.

  The next moment, the figure disappeared again.

  The giant beasts on the coast also slowly dived into the water and lost their traces.

  "Is this how dimensional merchants navigate?"

  Zoro was shocked, but soon his eyes became clear again and shone with anticipation.

  "It's such a magical power. Is that monster also a Pokémon?"

  Thinking of the Pokémon's strength in the video, he was filled with fighting spirit!

  "Work hard to make money! One day, I will also have such a cool Pokémon!"

  Looking at Rotom flying behind him, Zoro turned around and returned to the restaurant, eating while flipping the reward order looking for his next target!

  Leo, who returned to the different space, changed into home clothes in seconds and stretched out comfortably.

  "I never expected that I could meet the future protagonists just by eating breakfast."

  With that said, he walked to the desk and sat down calmly.

  Open the computer Rotom, click on his homemade navigation map, notify the Wailord, and swim towards the nearest naval base.

  The bandit's bounty can be exchanged for 80 points in the system.

  In order to create the perfect Wailord, he doesn't have many points.

  No matter how small the meat is, he will eat it!

  Looking at the computer Rotom on the desk, Leo thought silently.

  "Now that Zoro has obtained the qualification to play the game, should I also contact the other protagonist?"

  "Well... the current protagonist team is still in a confused stage of life."

  "With their resilience and talent, with a little guidance, they will definitely become excellent traders~"

  "As expected, trading should start from childhood~"

  As if he thought of something interesting, the corners of his mouth suddenly rose.

  The direction of the world is becoming more and more interesting!

  After wandering around for the past few days, Leo had already entered all the maps that could be seen in the East Blue Sea market into Rotom's system.

  Goa Kingdom is where Luffy is, Cocoyashi Village is where Nami is, Syrup Village is where Usopp is, Baratie is the sea restaurant where Sanji is... As long as they are places that can be found on the market, they are on his Rotom map. 

  In the current East Blue, Leo already wants to go wherever he wants.

  "So... which one should we start with?"

  Looking at the four directions marked on the map, Leo took the lead in eliminating the Kingdom of Goa.

  Although he also wanted to meet Luffy, the protagonist of the pirate world.

  But right now, Luffy probably doesn't have a dime...

  and with his character, he definitely doesn't know how to make money.

  If the other party doesn't have money, he is not interested in wasting his time.

  "Luffy who has no money is crossed out."

  Leo simply gave up on this guy that had brought him countless joy and passion, and turned his attention to the three candidates, and began to compare them one by one.

  "Nami has been accumulating Baileys for the agreement with Arlong. Although it is three years in the plot, she should have tens of millions of Baileys..."

  "And with Nami's ability, if she can get the right Pokémon, she will definitely make more money!"

  Leo marked a red arrow on the location of Cocoyashi Village.

  "In Syrup Village, although Usopp is a pauper, Kaya's family is very rich. It has allowed Kuro to live without pay for so many years. The family must have a small fortune of 1 billion beli!" 

"It seems that I need to visit this place too…"

  Leo also marked a red arrow behind Syrup Village.

  "As for the Sea Restaurant Baratie," he turned his attention to the last location, "As a famous high-end restaurant in the East Blue, it receives either wealthy businessmen or powerful people, and its economic strength is absolutely very strong..." After some selection, Leo suddenly realized that he had done a useless job.

  All three places seem to be good places to go.

  "In that case..."

  "Ladies first!"

  In the end, Leo set his destination on Cocoyashi Village.

  "It seems nice to be able to see Nami in her lolita stage~"

….

….

….

  Three days later, Cocoyasi Village.

  With a little excitement, Leo walked into the village.

  Unlike the places he had been to in the past, Cocoyasi Village was obviously much more depressed and downtrodden.

  After all, the lives of the residents of this entire island are severely controlled by the Arlong Pirates.

  Even whether they can continue to live every day is unknown. Who can open their heart and love life?

  Leo knew about Arlong's life experience.

  Abandoned by his parents at an early age, he grew up in the gangster gathering place on Fish-Man Island.

  During his childhood, he saw many scenes of humans enslaving his kin in the Sabaody Archipelago...

  Even a fish-man who grew up with him was unfortunately captured by human slavery and sold to the Celestial Dragons.

  From a racial perspective, Arlong did nothing wrong.

  But this kind of behavior of a weak person wielding a knife and slashing at an even weaker person is indeed shameful.

  And his arrival will definitely change this situation.

  ...

  ...

  Not far from Cocoyasi Village, there is an orange orchard exuding a refreshing fragrance.

  A beautiful girl with short orange hair wearing simple striped short-sleeves and a white miniskirt was busy doing her things.

  Crash la la la...

  As a large bag of gold coins was poured into the secret treasure house underground, Nami patted the dust on her hands and stared heavily at the gold and silver jewelry on the ground.

  "There is still 50 million left before the village can be redeemed…"

  She sighed quietly.

  In 5 years, she went from a little girl who was closely protected by her mother to a sea thief that everyone now calls for beating.

  And this kind of life will continue for who knows how long.

  "Nami, the food is ready, come in and eat!"

  At this time, a soft female voice suddenly came from inside the room.

  That's Nami's sister, Nojiko.

  Since the death of their adoptive mother Belle-mére, the two sisters have always depended on each other.

  "I know!"

  Nami replied, with a happy smile on her face again.

  No matter what, she didn't want to show her weak side to others.

  Because she knew that such an approach would not be helpful except to make others feel more uncomfortable.

  Hope is in front of her, and her journey has just begun.

  But right now!

  A strange voice suddenly appeared behind Nami.

  "Hey, is this your treasure? It's quite rich!"

  Nami:! ! !

  Nami was shocked. Years of stealing experience made her instantly grab the three-section stick tied to her leg, assemble it in a second, and swing it directly towards her back.

  "Who!?"

  Peng!

  The three-section stick hit an arm, but it was like knocking on steel. The huge repulsive force made Nami take three steps back.

  "Calm down. It's really embarrassing to be so enthusiastic right from the beginning~"

  Leo patted Eevee on her head, who was using the guardian skill, and looked at Nami with a smile.

  Nami also stared at Leo warily with her jewel-like eyes.

  "Who are you!? Why did you break into my orange grove!?"

  She secretly rubbed her numb hands.

  It's not scary to be able to easily block her attack...

  What's scary is that Nami didn't even notice how she was stopped just now!

  "You're really an impatient young lady."

  Leo smiled slightly, straightened his clothes, and then bowed slightly and said.

  "Since you asked the question sincerely, I will tell you in detail..."

  Pack!

  His fingers wearing thin white gloves were interlaced, but they still made a crisp sound.

  All of a sudden!

  A pink curtain suddenly enveloped Nami and Leo, as if they were isolated from the world, and the sounds from the outside world suddenly disappeared!

  The silence of the world is scary.

  Leo's solemn voice came again:

  "Hello, ojou-chan."

  "My name is Leo Drago. I am a dimensional businessman from another world. I am currently walking in this world, looking for destined guests to meet and trade."

  "From your fate, I smell a strong sense of grief and see a bright tenacious spirit."

  Leo stepped forward slowly, showed a mysterious smile, and said kindly.

  "Maybe we can make a deal~"
