Chapter 24 Are there any oranges for sale here?

Dapeng transformed into Clo and slowly spoke: "I just took a look, it doesn't look like the unique architectural style of this place, it should be man-made."

"What? Man-made?" Ling'er was a little surprised by Clo's conclusion.

Zoro also looked at Clo with some disbelief.

Clo pushed his glasses habitually and continued, "To be precise, it's probably not a person. I just checked and the roof and the ground are not connected. Instead, it seems to be placed directly on the ground."

"At the same time, the foundation structure above the house is consistent with the ground. So the house here should have been a normal building."

Hearing this, Lotte nodded.

Ling'er ran behind Lot and looked around, fearing that something strange would appear.

Zoro then said, "Kro, what do you mean by not being human?"

Cloe then analyzed, "There is a handprint on the foundation of the house. The handprint is deeply sunken into the foundation of the house. I think something has turned the house upside down."

Ling'er poked his head out from behind Lotte and said, "Isn't that still a human?"

"I also saw a thin layer of depression between the handprints, which is most likely the mark of the jade!" A beam of light reflected from Clo's eyes.

He went on to analyze, "All signs indicate that this was done by another race - the merman! And the sea monster just now is obviously not a species that should be found in the East China Sea. I think it should be a creature from the Grand Line."

"So I have reason to suspect that all this was done by the fishmen who escaped from the Grand Line! And just now I passed by a large building, and the picture on the flag looked like a shark."

"Isn't that the conclusion? This village might have been occupied or even massacred by the merfolk in that building! And there is at least one shark merfolk in that building, and it's a megalodon shark!"

After listening to Clo's analysis, Lotte couldn't help but give him a thumbs up. He was used to observing details, was meticulous, and his analysis was logical. He was indeed a "hundred-step".

"I heard that the fishmen have arm strength ten times greater than humans. It seems to be true." Zoro nodded and admired Clo.

Ling'er had never heard of the merman tribe and didn't know what species they were, but since they could massacre an entire village, they couldn't be good people.

He held Lotte's arm tightly and said, "Lotte, you said that the navigator should have been killed by the fishmen. I... let's run away quickly!"

Lotte tapped Ling'er on the head and said, "What is your observation Haki used for? Try to sense it."

Ling'er pouted and looked at Lotte with some grievance, then activated her Observation Haki.

"Hey?! Why are there still so many alive?"

. . . . . .

The largest orange orchard in Kekeyaxi Village.

Looking at the large tracts of orange trees and the abundant oranges in front of him, Zoro couldn't help but sigh: "In this ruined village, there is actually a paradise."

Lot walked to the door of the only family here and knocked gently.

dong dong dong~

"Hello, is anyone here?"

squeak~

The door opened and a girl appeared.

Her short blue hair was perfectly decorated with a red hairband, she had healthy wheat-colored skin, and blue tattoos from her chest to her arms.

The blue-haired girl was very alert when she saw the strange man in front of her. The man was quite handsome and spoke in a gentle tone. He looked young but his eyes were very deep, revealing a vicissitude that shouldn't be seen at this age.

But she still asked politely: "Excuse me, who are you looking for?"

"I see there is a large orange orchard here. Are there oranges for sale here? I want to buy some."

When she heard that they were here to buy oranges, the blue-haired girl became a little less vigilant.

"Noqigao, who is that?" Another girl appeared at the door along with the voice.

This girl looked a little younger than the blue-haired girl, with short orange hair, big eyes, and a pretty face. Her figure was already well-formed under her yellow T-shirt, and her blue jeans made her proportions look perfect.

This little girl is obviously Nami, Lot's designated navigator.

Looking at Nami, Lotte tried to explain in the most gentle voice possible: "Hello, my name is Lotte, I'm a businessman passing by, and I saw a large orange orchard here, so I wanted to buy some oranges."

When Nami heard Lotte's words, a smile suddenly appeared on her face, but it was unknown how much sincerity there was in it.

She instantly transformed into a businessman and said, "My name is Nami, this is my sister Nokigo. The oranges on this mountain were grown by the two of us. How many do you want?"

She hoped that Lotte would buy more oranges, preferably 100 million Baileys, although they didn't have that many oranges. It all depended on whether the man in front of her was willing to be the scapegoat.

There was still a hint of vigilance in Noqigao's eyes. The more she looked at the man in front of her, the more familiar he looked. However, she couldn't figure out where she had seen him before.

However, he still politely invited Lot into the house to discuss in detail.

"Hello, how many oranges would you like to buy?"

As soon as she entered the room, Nami couldn't wait to ask, and her eyes turned into Bailey's.

Seeing this, Lotte couldn't help but complain in his heart, "You are indeed a money-grubber."

The corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he said:

"I want to buy 100 million Baileys worth of oranges."

"Oh, 100 million Baileys." Nami nodded, looking a little disappointed.

"What!!!! One hundred million Baileys?" Nami finally heard clearly that it was one hundred million Baileys!!

Lotte looked at the little thief with some amusement, nodded and responded: "You heard it right, it's 100 million Baileys!"

Nojigo, who was standing by, was also shocked by Lot's loud breath and was speechless.

Nami had imagined that someone would come to buy oranges one day, and then she would sell them at a high price of 100 million Baileys. But when a buyer with 100 million Baileys actually appeared, she didn't expect that the man in front of her would be such a sucker.

"Do you have 100 million Baileys?"

Lot didn't say anything, but pretended to take out a black suitcase from behind him, but actually took it out from the system space.

Click~

The shiny money was right in front of Nami.

Although Nami really loves money, this is the first time she has seen so much money. She was really shocked.

But how could someone who could casually take out 100 million Baileys be a simple person?

She lowered her head for a moment, hesitating a little, "But...but the oranges here don't even add up to 100 million Baileys."

Lotte looked at the little girl with a smile on his face, "So how much do you need to save up to 100 million Baileys?"

"Oh, there's still more than 40 million short... Hey? What do you mean?" Nami reacted and jumped away instantly with a vigilant look on her face.

At this time, Nochigo also reacted, covering his mouth and speaking through his fingers: "I remember now, you... your name is Loto, right? The pirate in the East China Sea with a bounty of 200 million?"

"What? Two...two hundred million Baileys?" Nami covered her mouth and almost screamed out.

Seeing the reactions of the two girls, Lotte was not overly surprised. He just nodded calmly: "If there is no one else named Lotte, then you should be talking about me."

After getting Lot's recognition, Nojigo quickly protected Nami behind him and stared at Lot as if he was facing a great enemy.

"Hey, hey, I really want to buy oranges." Lot picked up an orange from the table and started peeling it.

Nami had seen many pirates, and she could feel that Loto was different from the pirates she had met before. He didn't have the arrogance and banditry of those pirates.

Some tentatively asked: "Are you really here to buy oranges?"

Lotte put a slice of orange into his mouth, his pupils dilated instantly, "Fuck, is it so delicious?"

He smiled and said, "Really? Could a big shot like me really lie to you?"

Nojigao stared at him blankly, trying to read something from the other's face.

ah~

Sighing, she secretly prepared for the worst.
