Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

The girl subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound, only to see that the skinny man who was so arrogant just now was lying in a pit that had appeared out of nowhere, unable to move.

She looked towards the stall again and saw an even more shocking scene.

One of the two men who had just drawn his sword was tied up by countless green vines and was struggling on the ground with fear in his eyes.

The other one was directly frozen in an ice block.

Not far away, two people walked slowly towards them.

“Knew something like this would happen.”

Usopp put away his pistol and stepped on the struggling man.

"Thank me. If I really let you chop down the stall, you will regret it for the rest of your life."

Brook put the Yellow Spring Sword into his cane and said with a smile:

“Yohoho, that’s right, the murderous aura that Sanji exuded just now even made me a little scared. Although I am a skeleton, I have no heart and no flesh, yohohoho~”

"That's the price they pay for destroying the food," Sanji said casually as he put the girl down.

Although the girl's expression of crying and laughing at the same time was a little strange, he still handed the bowl of noodles to the girl: "Eat it, fortunately it didn't take up too much time."

"Wow! Thank you!!!"

The girl took the bowl and started eating the noodles in big mouthfuls.

While breathing out hot air, she said, "As expected of the noodles praised by the other sisters, they are really delicious!"

"I waited in line for so long that I thought I wouldn't be able to eat."

"Actually, I was already late for work, but I still used the pocket money I saved so hard to buy this bowl of noodles. I thought I would not be able to eat it just now."

“Hahahaha, this is the first time I’ve eaten such delicious noodles, so delicious!!!”

The girl's mouth was puffy, but she still praised with tears in her eyes.

This extremely sincere evaluation made Sanji very happy: "Hahahaha, I really can't entertain you well enough!"

Usopp and Brook on the side were also amused by the girl's constant smile.

The former asked, "What's your name?"

"My name is Hu Zi, try adding an "A" in front of it."

"Atoko?"

"Hahahaha, I'm not a man. Even though the pronunciation is the same, hahaha." [In Japanese, Atsuko is pronounced the same as a man]

And Toko's serious explanation of her name made Usopp and the others laugh.

After chatting for a few more sentences, everyone got to know Hu Zi a little better.

She is a trainee prostitute named Bald Boy who serves the flower capital's courtesan, Kozuki. She was supposed to be accompanying the courtesan on a parade today.

So after thanking Sanji for his hospitality again, Toko hurried towards the parade location.

"She's a cute kid like Yu. Just seeing her smiling face makes me feel better."

Looking at Toko's back, Usopp sighed.

Although he was just a boy under 20 years old, he had had experience with Carrot Head and the other two, so he had a good sense for children.

Sanji standing by had the same feeling. Every chef wants to be appreciated by diners.

What’s more, she is a girl with a simple mind like Hu Zi.

Brooke expressed a different feeling:

"I don't know why, but Toko's soul seems to be filled with sadness."

Hearing this, Usopp and Sanji both looked puzzled.

It wasn't that I doubted Brooke.

They all knew that after developing the Yomiuri Fruit, Brook could sense other people's souls.

That's why they were puzzled by Brooke's words.

Why does a girl with such a bright smile have a sad soul?

"Let's go take a look." Sanji suggested.

Usopp and Brook also agreed.

-

Among the nine li in Wano Country, the place closest to Erikasa Village is a place called Shilou Town.

It is a place similar to the Ebisu town that Zoro visited, where only poor people live.

But during this period, the town was filled with a happy atmosphere.

As for the reason, it was naturally because Xiaoyu and his master brought a lot of food here and distributed it to everyone for free.

In a teahouse, two beautiful women were bowing to the men in front of them.

"Thank you so much, Mr. Luffy. Please allow us to express our sincerest gratitude to you on behalf of all the residents of the Loss Town."

"Oh! You're welcome. Food is meant to be shared."

Luffy said with a grin as he sat cross-legged on the tatami.

"No, what Mr. Luffy did was a favor to the people of the Loss Town, saving their lives."

The one who spoke was the older of the two women, named Ahe.

"That's right, for the people in Xielou Town, food has never been so easy to get."

The person who spoke this time was another person, named Aju. Judging from her dress, Aju was obviously more beautiful.

What Luffy didn't know was that these two people actually had hidden identities.

Otsuru is Kin'emon's wife, and Okiku is one of the Nine Red Scabbards with the same identity as Kin'emon.

Yes, he is also known as one of the "Nine Red Scabbards".

This guy is a complete crossdresser!!!

He is known as the most handsome swordsman in Wano Country, "Zanyuki Kikunojo", and is also the one who travels through time and space with Kin'emon and others.

Unlike others, these two know something about the Straw Hat Pirates' attitude towards themselves and others because of their close relationship with Kin'emon.

So Kiku and Tsuru did not reveal their identities to Luffy, but only expressed their gratitude as people from the town of bargain hunters.

Akiku was also seriously introducing the situation of the Lost Town to Luffy.

"Since the factory was built, the land and water here have been polluted. We can't grow food here, and we can't even drink the water."

"Everyone lives here because this is the place where they can pick up the surplus or leftover things that people in Boluo Town have. Over time, this place has become known as the Picking-up Town."

Luffy frowned and asked in confusion: "The land and water are poisonous, so where does the non-toxic food come from?"

"Please follow me, Lord Luffy."

Kiku stood up and led Luffy out of the teahouse, pointing to a mountain in the distance.

"That was once the residence of Lord Kozuki Oden, who ruled Kuri, but it has now become a ruin."

Ah Ju was a little sad, but didn't say much, and continued:

"At the foot of the mountain, there is a huge farm that was once built by Lord Oden in order to let the people of Kuri eat delicious food..."

"Now, it has become the territory of the big snake."

"Not only delicious food, but even clean water and other daily necessities are firmly controlled by the big snake. These things can only be enjoyed by those who are useful to the big snake and are qualified to live in Boluo Town."

"And the things that people no longer use and the food that is about to rot are sold to the people in the town of leaks."

"That's it. We... at least are still alive..."

"Is that so..." Luffy muttered to himself while looking at the mountains in the distance, as if he was thinking about something.

Just then, a familiar voice sounded:

"You look very interested. Do you want to go and have a look?"

Luffy turned his head and saw Bai Ye with a smile on his face.
