Chapter 370 Preparing for the Banquet

In the Shaqi Tavern in the Sabaody Archipelago, the atmosphere was full of jubilation. After learning that Ling Tian had rescued Ace, everyone on Ling Tian's side was overjoyed.

Everyone's face was filled with joyful smiles, as if the sunshine illuminated the entire tavern.

Luffy was the most excited. He was like a little sun full of energy. He jumped up and down in the tavern, dancing and shouting, "We are going to have a party in the Sabaody Archipelago! Let's celebrate!"

Luffy's voice was loud and passionate, as if it could penetrate the walls of the tavern and reach the entire Sabaody Archipelago.

His eyes sparkled like bright stars, as if he had seen the table full of delicious food and the lively scene. He seemed to see the sizzling barbecue, the fragrant seafood, and the mountains of fine wine.

His face was filled with a bright smile, which was like a spring flower, full of vitality and energy. He imagined everyone sitting together, laughing and celebrating this hard-won victory.

His body twisted involuntarily, as if he was immersed in the joyful atmosphere of the banquet.

However, Ling Tian rejected Luffy's proposal without hesitation.

Ling Tian's face was serious and his eyes were firm. He frowned slightly, looked at the excited Luffy, and said, "No, the Sabaody Archipelago is close to the Navy Headquarters. If we hold a big banquet here, the Navy will definitely not sit idly by."

Ling Tian's tone was serious and firm, like a piece of hard rock, and there was no room for doubt.

He knew very well that they could not take any risks. The navy was powerful, and if they held a banquet here, it would inevitably attract the navy's attention.

Not only that, you might also be attacked by other pirates.

Once the navy attacks, they will face great danger. Ling Tian's heart is full of worries, he can't let everyone fall into danger.

After hearing Ling Tian's words, Luffy was a little frustrated. His smile disappeared instantly, replaced by a look of disappointment.

The light in his eyes dimmed, as if the stars had lost their brilliance, and he hung his head like a defeated puppy.

"Why not? We finally rescued Ace, shouldn't we celebrate?" Luffy's voice was full of grievance and unwillingness.

He didn't understand why they couldn't have a party at the Sabaody Archipelago, he felt that this was the celebration they deserved. His hands fell limply at his sides, and his steps became heavy.

His heart was filled with loss, as if the whole world had lost its color.

He hung his head and muttered, "We can't hold a party after rescuing Ace." His face was full of disappointment, like a child who had lost his favorite toy.

Seeing Luffy's frustrated expression, Ling Tian also covered his face helplessly. Ling Tian's fingers were slightly bent and gently pressed on his forehead, as if this could ease the helplessness in his heart.

He shook his head slightly, looking at Luffy who seemed to be shrouded in dark clouds, and secretly sighed in his heart that this Luffy was really a party maniac.

Whenever there was something to be happy about, the first thing he thought of was to hold a party. Ling Tian's eyes showed both helplessness and doting.

He knew that Luffy was such a simple and enthusiastic person, and his obsession with banquets was also a manifestation of his love for life.

But he also understood Luffy's feelings. After all, everyone went through so many difficulties to rescue Ace, which was indeed worth celebrating. They fought wits and courage with the navy, experienced countless hardships, and everyone made great efforts.

Those thrilling battles and the experiences of escaping death time and time again made this victory particularly precious.

Ling Tian knew that everyone needed a way to release the joy and tension in their hearts, and a banquet was undoubtedly the best choice.

Then Ling Tian thought of holding a banquet in the virtual space. Ling Tian's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had found a bright light in the darkness.

The advantages of virtual space quickly emerged in his mind. Virtual space is relatively safe and will not be easily discovered by the navy. There, they can celebrate to their heart's content without worrying about being disturbed by the outside world.

The more Ling Tian thought about it, the more he felt that this idea was feasible, and his heart was filled with excitement and anticipation.

After thinking of this, Ling Tian immediately told Luffy about this idea. Ling Tian walked to Luffy and patted him on the shoulder gently.

"Luffy, I have an idea. We can hold a party in the virtual space!" Ling Tian's voice was full of joy and excitement.

When Luffy heard that the party could be held again, he immediately cheered. His face was filled with a smile as bright as the sun, and his eyes were shining with excitement.

"Great! We can have the party now!" His voice resounded throughout the tavern, filled with joy and excitement, as if it was going to blow the roof off.

Luffy jumped up excitedly, his body jumped high like a spring, and then fell heavily to the ground.

He raised his hands high and waved them continuously, as if announcing the good news to the whole world. His laughter was as clear as a silver bell, echoing in the tavern, making people feel the joy in his heart.

However, when Luffy and the others asked Ling Tian for the Bailey for the banquet, Ling Tian's face turned black. He widened his eyes, full of surprise and helplessness.

He looked at the guys in front of him with their hands outstretched, as if he saw a group of hungry little wolves asking him for food. His lips trembled slightly, and he wanted to say something, but he didn't know where to start.

A feeling of helplessness welled up in his heart. Why did these people always ask him for money at the critical moment? Ling Tian's brows knitted tightly, forming a deep "chuan" character.

His eyes scanned the crowd, trying to find a solution to the problem. His brain was working rapidly, thinking about how to deal with the situation.

He knew that if he didn't give them Berry, the banquet might not be able to take place, but he also didn't want to always be used as an ATM by these people.

Ling Tian took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. His eyes revealed a hint of determination, and he decided to teach these people a lesson.

"You guys, why do you always ask me for money? I'm not a bank!" Ling Tian's voice was filled with anger and helplessness.

He folded his hands in front of his chest, raised his chin slightly, and looked at everyone, as if waiting for their answer. His heart was full of contradictions. He wanted everyone to have a happy banquet, but he didn't want them to ask for anything at will.

"How can you ask me for Berry? I don't have that much!" Ling Tian complained. He had a helpless look on his face, his brows were furrowed, and his eyes were full of confusion and dissatisfaction.
