Pirates: Flash Pirates

Chapter 43 Joba
In Alabasta, the city named Joba is a place where business travelers from the whole country and even sailing flock to gather.Most of the tops of the buildings here are like round onions, and the walls are mostly white.

The people who came and went, the men wore turbans and loose robes.Most of the women are wearing veils, some are dressed in cool clothes, and the lower body is a dance skirt, and some are also dressed like men.

Heath and the others sat outside the restaurant, enjoying the sweet melons and fruits and the refreshing water.Heath looked at the winding waterway next to the restaurant and sighed:
"I didn't expect there to be such a comfortable city here. It's so different from the windy and sandy sky outside. And why are the fruits here so sweet. It's so delicious."

The owner of the restaurant stood aside, and he was the one who graciously pulled the disheartened Heath and his party to the restaurant.I have to say that the boss really has vision. Although Heath looks embarrassed, he has an outstanding temperament, not to mention the neat and tidy Noah.

So in the eyes of the boss, these are all big customers, and they are rare big customers.

Noah smiled and said, "Boss, please prepare some suitable clothes for us, and we also ordered the one-stop service of bathing, housing, and meals you just mentioned."

The boss's eyes lit up. Noah's conversation and appearance are really likable, and he agreed very readily.The boss couldn't help but said: "Guest, I'll give you a [-]% discount."

Noah waved his hand, put a stack of Baileys on the table, and said, "Thank you for your kindness. If the boss feels sorry, you can tell us about this country. It's our first time here, and there are many things we don't understand."

The boss put Bailey into his arms with a smile on his face, and said, "It's easy to talk, I'll go and prepare rooms and clothes for a few of you first, and then invite you to the VIP room for dinner."

Noah nodded, took out another stack of Baileys, and said seriously: "Please give us the best."

The boss looked at Noah with bright eyes, eager to rush forward to give him a good massage, and his voice became sharper involuntarily, and said, "No problem! Wait a moment, honored guest, I'll be right back!"

The boss turned around quickly, put the money on the table into his pocket, and immediately rushed into the restaurant, grabbed the supervisor in the lobby and began to shout, even because he was so excited, he sprayed half of the supervisor's face wet.

"The distinguished guests outside, including the two ladies, are all treated to me. They are our big customers. The Duke's rooms on the top floor are all open, and the glorious private rooms on the second floor are open. I will entertain them in person later."

"Ask the head chef to serve up all the special dishes, and let him cook by himself, using the best ingredients. I'm going to pick out clothes for a few distinguished guests, and I'll leave it to you here."

"If this service is successful, you will be the head of the branch of the restaurant."

The supervisor was not happy at first, but in the end he didn't care about the drool on his face. He nodded excitedly and said, "No problem, boss."

The supervisor wiped his face clean with a handkerchief, and sprayed some perfume on his body. With a smile on his face, he posed as a waiter and greeted Heath and his party.

"Several distinguished guests, please move to the exclusive room for the few. You can take a bath and rest for a while, and I will notify the few when the cooking is finished."

Heath nodded, and got up immediately. He was covered in sand, and he couldn't bear it for a long time.Heath smiled and said: "It's good to follow Noah, and enjoy it when you come out."

Stick and others smiled knowingly, and Noah nodded reservedly, without denying it.

"There are only four rooms on the top floor of our hotel, one for the royal family, and the remaining three are for the duke. The royal room is only open to our respected king and princess. Please forgive me."

Heath asked curiously, "Does the king often come to stay with you?"

"No, eight years ago, Joba was not as prosperous as it was. It was thanks to Kosha and Daddy Duoduo to lead everyone to struggle, and this scene is what it is today."

"The current His Majesty the King once came here to stay overnight. He appreciated us very much and worked with us. And I also heard that Kosha and Princess Weiwei are good friends, and it is really great to be able to talk to His Majesty the King." envy him."

Heath looked at the supervisor with a look of admiration, exchanged glances with Noah, and said with emotion: "Your king is really good."

"Yes, His Majesty the King will always consider us, we are proud of His Majesty Cobra!"

"So, the royal room is prepared for His Majesty Cobra and Princess Vivi. As long as our hotel exists for a day, we will keep this room forever."

"Guys, we are here. Here is the key to the room. I hope you guys can live in peace and comfort."

Noah gave the supervisor a tip of [-] Baileys, and thanked him: "Thank you for letting us know about such a great king. Be careful, please accept it."

After the supervisor resigned, Heath and the others immediately assigned their respective rooms.Naturally, Kuina and Nami couldn't help but go to take a bath first, and Stick and Tittle also chose a room to enter.

After Heath and Noah entered the room, Heath said, "I'll wash it first, Noah. This place is so luxurious, I can't bear to get it dirty."

"Go, Heath. I'll watch the city of Joba from the window for a while."

According to what Noah said, the hotel owner prepared three sets of clothes for each person, all of which were pure white, and prepared three sets for Huck and Razel according to the figures of Heath and Stick.

Heath and the others gathered together in a room after taking a bath. Not to mention, the boss's eyes were very poisonous, and the clothes of several people were really tailor-made.

Men's simple white robe headscarves are paired with some gold thread and silver borders, making them look more graceful and luxurious.Kuina and Nami put on veils, tube tops and dance skirts, and paired with red sapphire and crystal necklaces, they are also very beautiful.

Heath waved his sleeves and said, "The boss has a good eye, and the clothes he picked are really good." Stick also liked the clothes on his body very much, second only to the doctor's white coat.

Kuina and Nami faced the mirror and fiddled with the position of the accessories, although Heath didn't see any difference between them and before.

Tittle was a little worried: "Are we going to be too ostentatious?"

Heath overlooked the crowd under the window, and said with a smile: "Everyone knows what the other party looks like, let's show off a bit, so we don't have to go find them. Right?"

Tittle nodded thoughtfully, Stick couldn't hear what they were talking about, but what Heath and the others said was basically correct, and he also nodded in a daze.

Soon, Heath and the others arrived at the dinner table.The boss watched Heath and the others sit down, and began to introduce the dishes on the table, "This is banana crocodile meat, which was hunted by warriors in the desert. It is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and has the mellow aroma of bananas."

"This is a desert scorpion. The poisonous needle on the tail is removed, and it is fried. Although they are only the size of a fist, they are very muscular, and they chew very vigorously."

"This is."

Heath and the others couldn't bear it for a long time, and before the boss finished the introduction, they all started to eat.The boss was not annoyed, and was still introducing it enthusiastically.

Heath chewed a whole fried scorpion, and said in a muffled voice, "Boss, do you know Crocodile?" The eating movements of the others slowed down, and then returned to normal.

"You mean Mr. Crocodile, he is a celebrity in our country. As one of the Shichibukai under the king, he cleaned up the group of pirates who did all kinds of evil and protected everyone's property."

"Even His Majesty the King gave three points to Lord Crocodile."

Noah raised his eyebrows and asked with interest: "How did Crocodile know that there are pirates doing evil?"

The boss scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "I don't know about this, anyway, as long as there are pirates who start smashing, looting and burning, and make people panic, Master Crocodile will appear and deal with them."

Noah gave a meaningful "Oh" and changed the subject: "Boss, how many cities are there in Alabasta, such a beautiful city like Yorba?"

The boss sighed when he heard the words, and said: "On this mainland, only the rainy land can compare with Jobababi. There used to be people who loved Luma, but now it's hard over there."

"Why are you having a bad time?"

"The towns around Aluma are deserted. I don't know what happened in the past few years. There have been a lot of sandstorms over there, and it hasn't rained yet. It is said that there are rebels appearing and speaking ill of His Majesty Cobra. Cobra Your Majesty is obviously so kind to the people."

"Well, those rebels are actually quite pitiful. Their homes are gone, and the weather is not good. I heard from them that the rebels secretly transported dancing fans."

Heath looked up from the food and asked, "What's dancing powder?"

Nami said solemnly: "Dancing powder is a forbidden product banned by the world government. After use, it will deprive the air of moisture, and then condense rainwater to fall. However, countries that are downwind will suffer from drought due to lack of rain."

The boss gave thumbs up and praised: "You really know a lot. Dancing fans are strictly prohibited by His Majesty Cobra. Alas, love Luma is really a disaster."

Heath patted his stomach and said cheerfully: "Ah, I'm full. Boss, thank you for the hospitality. Don't worry, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain, and Aluma will definitely get better."

The boss smiled, nodded and said, "That's right, Ailuma is a city with a long history, and it won't fall easily."

Heath then asked: "Boss, where is there a good framer? We want to frame some pictures."

"I'm familiar with this, I'll take you there and make sure you're satisfied."

"No, boss, you are busy with your work, we can go by ourselves."

Heath and the others took the treasure box and walked on the street.Ordinary people were naturally attracted by the gorgeous attire of this group of people, and couldn't help admiring in a low voice.

Heath really enjoys this feeling of being watched by all the people, and he can't wait to set up a stage to talk about a storytelling, but he can also understand it clearly, just thinking about it in his heart, without putting it into practice.

Along the way, Heath and the others really opened their eyes.There are travelers pulling camels, large crabs helping people move houses, and messenger lizards with scruffy neck membranes.

Looking carefully, I found that the fruit store also sells cacti and thorny fruits. Heath couldn't help but bought one, and the store manager peeled the thorny fruit out.

After Heath finished eating, he was full of praise and bought one for everyone, and finally asked Noah to pay.Everyone swaggered towards the mounting shop introduced by the hotel owner, almost stuffing their chests with food and drink.

When they arrived at the mounting shop, after handing over the painting to the mounting master, a few people sat in the shop, turned off their knowledge and domineering, and looked outside with a relaxed face.

Heath said: "Partners, did you find anything? I saw several people eyeing us."

Guina added: "And mail with lizards."

The four of Nami also mentioned several suspicious locations one after another.

While admiring the works around the wall, Heath said with a smile: "It's true that they discussed with us, they are also guarding against us. In this case, we have to be more vigilant these days."

"I suggest that we rest in the same room and each take turns for two hours at night."

On the second night, a woman's arm protruded from the floor of the room where Heath and others were, with a mouth growing in the center of the palm.Heath slipped in front of the arm, pointed at the arm on the floor with Shutenwan and asked:

"who is it?"

"Be very vigilant, everyone of the Flash Pirates. I will wait for you next to the frame shop you have been to."

As soon as the words fell, the woman's arms scattered into illusory petals and disappeared.Kuina and the others also woke up one after another.

Heath expanded his knowledge and domineering perception, and sure enough, he found a woman's figure next to the framing shop.He shrugged and explained to everyone: "Partners, we are starting to work~"

Not long after, Nicole Robin looked at Heath and the others, and greeted him with a smile: "Hi~, this is our first meeting. Seeing the unsurprised looks on the faces of the others, it seems that they recognized me."

Heath pulled out Shutenmaru and said, "I've admired you for a long time, Nicole Robin." Although the words were polite, Shutenmaru's cold blade pointed straight at Robin.

Robin looked at Heath and others who were waiting in full force, covered his lips with his hands, and said with a smile: "Guys, don't be nervous. I'm here to negotiate a deal with you. Can you put down the knife first?"

Heath kept a straight face, unmoved, and said, "I have nothing to talk to you about."

Robin's face sank, he put away the smile on his lips, crossed his hands in front of his shoulders, and said coldly: "The bounty is 5000 million Baileys, wave sword, Heath. You are too proud."

Heath shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm proud, I just don't think there's anything to talk about with a stranger, let alone you, the vice president of Baroque Works, who is in the enemy's midst."

Robin was taken aback. She didn't expect Heath to know a lot about their information. Afterwards, her pretty face thawed out, she smiled, and said, "I'm too confident, sorry."

Robin leaned forward slightly, and then said: "So, have you heard of a city in this country, Love Luma?"

Heath didn't know what trick she was trying to trick, so he simply nodded.

"Then how about I use the reason for Ailuma's gradual decline as a bargaining chip to break our stalemate?"

"What did you say!?" A surprised voice came from the darkness behind Robin.
