Kai staggered and flew away. He was still just a child, and these women were too hungry to be picky about food.
Seeing Kai's frightened expression, all the female warriors of the Nine Snakes laughed joyfully.
After this voyage and the days spent together, they found that Kai and his people were very easy to get along with and quite charming.
The female warriors of the Nine Snakes Regiment now completely regarded Kai as their deputy commander and admired him immensely.
Who else could gather so much gold in such a short time? How many could match the combat power of a deputy captain?
In Amazon Lily, strength is seen as beauty, and at this moment, Kai was the most beautiful man in their eyes.
It wasn't a lie that they wanted to have children with Kai. If he agreed, they would rush forward and push him down without hesitation.
The women of Amazon Lily believed that children born to strong individuals would also be strong.
Since Kai was so powerful, their children would surely be no weaklings either.
Mogu Town, Gaya Island
This town could be described as a pirate haven built with ill-gotten gains. The pirates spent money like water, and fighting and killing were commonplace.
However, there was an unspoken rule: they rarely harmed civilians. After all, without civilians, having money meant nothing if you couldn't enjoy it.
The most important thing was that this island seemed ownerless, but it actually had an owner. Hurting civilians would mean slapping that owner in the face, and the retaliation would not be worth the trouble.
Kai walked down the street, holding a package and searching for his target.
Suddenly, someone screamed, "Ahhhhh!!"
A man fell off his horse right in front of Kai.
"Cough... cough..."
The man on the ground spat out a few mouthfuls of blood. He looked like he was gravely ill and might pass away at any moment.
"Little brother, please... help me up, please..."
"No way!" Kai replied flatly. This was a taboo from his previous life. He could be asked to help fight, but helping someone else? That was out of the question.
"Eh? Why not?"
"I didn't knock him down, so why should I help him?"
"..."
Du Q looked at Kai, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.
At that moment, another man approached and helped Du Q onto his horse.
"That's it."
"Oh, that's great! He's such a kind person. Not like some people who have no compassion at all."
Poison Q said, pulling out a basket of apples and handing one to the visitor. "Be careful, have one!"
"Ah! An apple! Thanks!"
The visitor reached out, grabbed one, and quickly popped it into his mouth.
A green-haired guy with three knives at his waist exclaimed, "Hey, hey, hey! Don't eat that! You can't just eat something from an unknown source..."
Boom—!
The house not far behind them suddenly exploded.
"Whaaaaaaaaaaaah!!"
"What's going on? What's happening?"
"Ah... there was a strange man who just gave them apples. After they ate them, all five of them exploded!!"
"Damn it!! That's so inhumane!! The store is in ruins!!"
"How could this happen…"
The orange-haired girl gasped when she heard this and quickly grabbed Luffy by the neck, shouting in a panic, "Luffy!! Spit it out! Spit out the apple you just ate!!"
"Oooh! Ooooh! I already... already swallowed it!"
Zoro immediately prepared to draw his sword. "You idiot!! What do you mean?"
"Hahaha... ahem... don't worry... he's fine..."
"If you eat the 'exploding apple,' you'll be blown to pieces with the first bite, haha... That guy got through it safely!"
"Brother! Haha... ahem... you're so lucky!!"
Then Du Q looked at Kai. "And this cold and heartless little brother, you're also very lucky."
Kai looked at Poison Q and smiled. "Yes! I think my luck is pretty good."
Poison Q's presence meant that Blackbeard was also around, making things much easier for him this time.
And he had actually run into Luffy, Zoro, and Nami by chance.
These three were his favorite characters when he first watched One Piece, but he never expected to meet them so soon.
After all, there are some differences between living people and anime, but the differences aren't that big. The most important thing is the feeling. Nami is a young, beautiful, and energetic girl, and Zoro and Luffy feel very similar to their anime counterparts.
Du Q felt a bit uneasy under Kai's gaze. He sensed that the young man was a little nervous, so he quickly rode away.
Kai glanced at Luffy and the others, then smiled and continued on his way.
Luffy was stunned when he saw Kai.
Nami turned to Luffy. "What are you staring at? It's time for us to go."
"That person…"
"Do you know him?"
"No, I don't know him."
"Then let's go. I don't want to deal with this kind of thing again."
After a while, Kai walked into a bar and spotted the target he was looking for—Blackbeard.
Kai dragged his package over to the bar next to Blackbeard and sat down, glancing at the menu.
"Boss, I'll have a Sakura peach pie and a beer."
Not long after Kai sat down, Luffy and the others came in and sat next to him. They were there to grab a bite and inquire about Sky Island.
Bang!
Blackbeard and Luffy slammed their hands on the table at the same time.
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Luffy exclaimed, "This Sakura peach pie is so delicious!!"
Blackbeard echoed, "This Sakura peach pie is amazing!!"
Kai interjected, "It's just okay."
"Um?"
Blackbeard and Luffy both turned to look at him in surprise.
"Ah! It's you! What a coincidence."
"Not really; after all, this town is pretty big..."
"Cheers to our chance encounter!!"
With that, Blackbeard ignored Kai and downed his drink in one gulp.
Luffy said, "Why does this drink taste so good!!"
Blackbeard replied, "Why does this drink taste so bad!!"
Kai shrugged. "It's just ordinary."
"Is your tongue broken?"
"Is your brain broken?"
