Gaston Figo, 100 Years I Guarded the City of Advancement in Pirate Town

"Make money, make money, make money."

Landing on an inhabited island, Luffy was hungry again and muttered weakly.

"Uncle, where can I make money?" On the way, he stopped a middle-aged man and asked.

The middle-aged man responded with a look that said, "Is this kid a psycho?" but he was polite: "Making money? I want to make money too, so go to the dock to move goods."

"No, that one makes so little money. If you move too much, others won't be able to make money." Luffy muttered and replaced him with the next person.

"Sister, where can I make money?"

"Hey, has he always been like this...has he always been so embarrassed?" Zoro asked Ace later, covering his face, barely able to see. .

Ace shrugged, just get used to it, what can I do with such a younger brother on my side?

He continued to walk forward, and after a few steps he suddenly felt a familiar feeling. When he turned around, he saw that Zoro had disappeared. He put his hand on his forehead helplessly: "It's true, when we walk together, we can all suddenly... Lost my way... I always feel like my life will be more difficult in the future."

"Luffy! Luffy!"

"Come here quickly, Zoro is lost again!"

Luffy grinned, looked around, ran to Ace, and suggested: "Let's sell Zoro's sword, Ace!"

"You don't have to secretly propose to me like this every time Zoro gets lost!"

Ace was speechless, and ran quickly with Luffy to catch up with Zoro, who suddenly turned a corner and muttered, "Why is there no one left when walking?"

"Zoro! Ace said he would sell your sword if you get lost again!" Luffy shouted.

"What did you say? Ace?!"

"When did I say that!" Ace punched Luffy on the head.

"It hurts! Ace, why are you looking more and more like Grandpa Garp now?" Luffy followed the force and fell to the ground, "I'm so hungry~"

Ace felt distressed when he saw this, hesitating whether to take out the hidden emergency light coins and eat a meal first, when he suddenly saw Luffy lying on the ground raising his head, his nose twitching.

"Eh~~~it smells so good!"

Like a caterpillar, Luffy crawled rapidly on the ground, following the scent he smelled, and in a blink of an eye, he crossed a street and arrived outside a small courtyard at the end of the alley.

The two people chasing Luffy also smelled a burst of fragrance midway.

That's the aroma of cooking meat.

"I really want to eat it...Ace..."

Seeing that it was a residential house, Ace pulled Luffy and said, "Don't disturb others."

Luffy was disappointed, and he sniffed reluctantly, then nodded and said: "I know, let's go, let's go make money, I want to eat meat!"

After all, it came from the Navy Headquarters.Zoro thought to himself, the right angle not far away suddenly had a strange attraction to him.

Is that where you want to go next?

Just when the three of them were about to go their separate ways, the door of the small courtyard in front of them suddenly opened with a creak.

Standing at the entrance of the hospital was an old lady with a stooped body on crutches. The wrinkles and age spots all over her face made her look a bit gloomy, but her eyes revealed kindness.

"Meeting is fate. Do you want to come in and have something to eat?" the old lady said.

The courtyard door is opened, and the fragrance becomes more obvious.Luffy's eyes lit up and then dimmed: "Mother-in-law, I don't have money, so I won't eat."

Ace and Zoro looked at each other.

This old woman...should have noticed us a long time ago, but our inner network didn't hear her movement at all. She seems very powerful?

"Come in, after this meal, I still have some little things I want you to help with."

"This..." Luffy looked at Ace hesitantly. If you ignore the laughter that kept flowing from the corner of his mouth and the wild nodding of his head, it was indeed hesitation.

Ace asked helplessly: "Old lady, what do you need our help with?"

"This." The old woman said: "I have seven stores on the island that I plan to sell, and I also have some lamp wicks that are consigned to the Francis Merchant Group. You can help me run the errands and ask them to give me the money as soon as possible. Lamp coins are half price."

Luffy glared: "S-so rich!"

This is a large and prosperous island with hundreds of thousands of people living there. No matter where the seven shops are located, their value is considerable.

Not to mention the lights and wicks.

"Mother-in-law, how do you make money? Ace and I have always been so poor!" Luffy rarely even forgot to eat.

"Making money? Being poor?" A smile appeared on the old woman's old face: "I am the poor one."

She turned and walked toward the house.

The three of them looked at each other blankly.

This, this is still poor? !

The old lady didn't cook much meat, only about a dozen kilograms, but when the four of them shared it, even Luffy was half full, which eliminated his hunger.

Looking at the old man who was picking his teeth slowly, Ace's eyes became more cautious. It was sea beast meat, and at least...level three sea beast meat!

"Okay! Thanks for the treat, mother-in-law!"

Luffy didn't have any extra thoughts at all. He stuck out his tongue and licked the oil on the plate clean, and said: "Where is your store? How many lamp coins are you planning to sell? Let's go and promote it for you!"

"It's not far away... Oh, and also, this yard needs to be sold together."

"Yard?" Luffy was stunned: "Are you ready to move?"

"Moving? That's right." The old lady smiled again: "Go to the world after death."

Zoro's pupils trembled slightly.

Ace's heart also trembled.

Luffy's expression did not change at all: "The world after death? Are you going to die?"

"Aren't you sad for me?"

"A little bit." Luffy nodded: "Is there any way to prevent you from dying?"

"Ha, ha, ha..." The old lady was immediately amused by him: "You are such an interesting child. It's a pity that you are gone."

"That's it." Luffy's expression turned slightly down: "I understand."

Ace asked: "I still don't know your name, mother-in-law, and how old are you this year?"

"My name is Xin, and my age should be 640...fifty...well, some of my memories are not accurate," the old lady replied.

"More than 600 years old?" Luffy couldn't help but exclaimed: "That's much older than...that's much older than Grandpa Figo..."

"Figo?" Xin whispered: "The same name as the King of Starry Sky?"

Just as Luffy was about to explain, Ace next to him secretly elbowed Luffy. Luffy looked at him strangely and continued: "That's the King of the Starry Sky, Grandpa Gaston Figo."

Ace was speechless, and so was Zoro.

"You actually know him." Xin Ze smiled again: "The King of Starry Sky is a great man. Kill the Pillar of Secret Poison, kill well, kill well, kill well..."

She didn't ask about the relationship between the three of them and Figo, she just kept praising Figo.

Seeing this, Ace asked slowly: "You...have any hatred between you and the demon clan?"

"Who among our age has no hatred against the demon clan?" Xin said: "My father, my mother, and my lover all died at the hands of the demon clan!"

The expressions of the three people changed.

Xin Ze continued: "Do you want to hear the experience of me, an old woman? Haha, actually there is nothing special.

More than 600 years ago, the demon clan had not yet split, and the Deng Mars had not yet entered peace.My parents and lover are all soldiers of the Army of Light, and counting even more, my grandfather and grandmother also died in the battle with the demon clan.

The year my lover died, I was 27 years old. We made an agreement that when he came back from that mission, we would get married..."

She shook her head, hiding the remaining half of her sentence, and said: "Later, I also joined the Lantern Army. I trained and practiced desperately, looking forward to participating in the war with the demon clan, looking forward to revenge, but in the end Just when I was preparing everything, the demon clan split.

Peace has arrived! "

"Then you..." Ace asked.

"Two years after peace came, the human race, the half-demon race, the demon race divided the sea areas to rule, and they were completely settled. The Skeleton Emperor issued an order that the Lantern Army does not need to continue to maintain more than ten million people. Anyone who has no brothers, sisters, or children in the family, They all need to withdraw from the Light Army and be on standby.

So, I had no choice but to leave. "

Xin sighed: "On standby? I've been on standby for 100 or 200 years. Even today, I'm afraid the emperor has forgotten me.

The war is finally about to restart. With the help of the King of Starry Sky, we will let the demons experience everything we have experienced. But look, can I still participate in the war now? "

Her eyes were slightly red, and the three of them felt the powerlessness and helplessness in her words.

"So I said, I am the poor. Real poverty means not being needed by others and being forgotten by others." She shook her head and said.

"Of course, I have never resented others in my heart. I have also found the last thing that my body, which is about to decay, can do." She smiled again: "Okay, go help me sell the shop. I I'm in a hurry and have to attend the funeral of Mr. Diao Deng King."

"A...funeral?"
