Chapter 44: I Am Very Angry Right Now
Lister didn't know he had entered Sengoku's sights. He had been assigned a sixty million Beri bounty by Sengoku.
He knew even less that the Marines had made a series of targeted arrangements against him and the Money Pirates.
After two days of sailing, they arrived at Mǎjiǎ Island.
It was indeed prosperous here. Ships came and went. The flow of people was endless.
The Money Pirates found a place with a relatively sparse flow of people to dock the ship.
"We're finally here! This island is so prosperous, there must be many shops. Nojiko, later, let's go shopping together! I have so many things to buy!" The moment the ship docked, Nami said joyfully.
"Okay!!" Nojiko smiled and nodded.
After two days of recovery, Nojiko had finally moved on from the killing incident.
She was in a good mood and naturally wanted to look around. After all, she was different from Nami. Nami had been struggling outside since she was young and had seen all sorts of situations. Nojiko had stayed in Cocoyasi Village all these years. She had almost never gone out. Therefore, she was very curious about everything outside. Naturally, she wanted to go and see it all.
"Lister, are you coming or not??" Nami looked at Lister.
"I'm not going! Take a few fierce-looking underlings with you to avoid being harassed!" Lister refused Nami's invitation.
Are you kidding, accompanying women shopping? How many lives does he have!
"Really not coming??" Nami walked up to Lister and smiled mischievously:
"Later, Nojiko and I will be buying... intimate underwear, you know? If you come, you can feast your eyes. Are you *really* not coming??"
Lister scoffed. "You are both mine. What part of you haven't I seen? Do I need to go to a store to look??"
"What if... I call Youlan too!!" Nami smiled nonchalantly.
Lister looked at Nami speechlessly. "If I want to sleep with her, I can anytime. Using her to tempt me, aren't you silly?"
"So are you coming or not??" Nami, seeing the unyielding Lister, felt a little exasperated.
"Fine, since you've asked so many times, if I refuse again, you'll probably lose face. In that case, I'll go!" Lister said helplessly.
Then, he turned his head to the pirates and said: "Jango, later, take some men to find out news about the Krieg Pirates. Johnson, stay and guard the ships. The rest of you, free time! Assemble here in three hours!"
"Yes!!" Everyone except Johnson's First Division cheered.
"Oh, right. Johnny, Yosaku, you two keep an eye on Zoro. Don't let him get lost!" Lister added a special instruction.
"Yes!!" Johnny and Yosaku responded at the same time. It seems the Captain also knows about Brother Zoro's nature as a directionally-challenged person.
"Lister, what do you mean? Are you saying I'm directionally challenged?" Being called out by Lister, Zoro was not happy.
"Aren't you? Don't you have any self-awareness?" Lister glanced at Zoro.
"Hmph, it's just that the roads are a bit complicated. I'm not directionally challenged. Forget it, I can't be bothered to talk to you. I'm going to see if I can find a good sword on this island!" Zoro said, then jumped off the ship and headed towards the bustling streets of Mǎjiǎ Island.
Previously, Lister had given Zoro two million. He had never been so rich. So, he wanted to find a good sword. After all, besides the Wado Ichimonji, the other two swords he carried were of very average quality.
"Brother Zoro, wait for us!!" Johnny and Yosaku quickly jumped off the ship and chased after Zoro.
"Speaking of which, my sword is also average. Should I also get a better quality one??" Watching Zoro's departing figure, Lister looked at his own katana.
This sword was from back in the Blood Hammer Pirates. He picked it up when they hit that merchant ship. After using it for so long, not only did the sword not show any nicks or damage, it even became brighter and brighter. It exuded a chill.
"Forget it, this sword is quite comfortable to use. I won't change it!!" Lister shook his head.
"Lister, we should go!"
"Then let's go!!"
Soon, Lister and the fourteen girls left the pirate ship together. When Jango and the others saw Lister leave, they naturally left too. After all, they were the ones with the mission.
...
Mǎjiǎ Island, a certain bustling street.
"Lister, don't!!"
"Don't? Who was it just now shamelessly provoking me! I'm telling you, Nami, I'm all fired up right now..."
Soon, the changing room in the store was shaking slightly. But, there were too many girls entering the store, and the owner was busy attending to them, so they didn't notice the abnormality in the changing room.
About forty minutes later. The fourteen girls each walked out of the store carrying several bags, then entered another store. The same thing quickly played out again in that store's changing room. Only, the female lead changed from Nami to Nojiko.
Three hours later. The girls had shopped to their hearts' content. Lister had also *played* to his heart's content. The group returned happily to where the pirate ship was.
