Chapter 90 Uninvited Guest

Usopp was still relatively cautious and didn't pay too much attention to the owner of the restaurant. He took the menu and prepared to order with Luffy. He seemed to have seriously underestimated the hunger level of his captain.

Small things like choosing dishes are too difficult for Luffy. He is already an adult, so he just wants them all: "Illya, please give me this page. I feel like these are not enough for me to eat. I'm almost starving. I want to eat more delicious food."

The sniper carefully checked the prices on the menu. During the five years of isolated training, after passing through the Sabaody Archipelago and Fishman Island, he could feel the rising prices. The Bailey on the ship was becoming less and less enough to spend, and the prices of the goods he saw were rising.

Dressrosa has become a tourist destination nowadays, and the prices of food and beverages are comparable to those in the Sabaody Archipelago. Even this small shop in the slums is 50% more expensive than the restaurants I've visited before.

"I must tell Nami when we go back this time that the pocket money limit she set is no longer in line with reality, and it's time to increase it." After Usopp made this sigh, he knew that the pocket money for both of them was limited, and he did not agree with Luffy's approach of just clicking on one page. He asked for more staple foods and fewer side dishes, and just made do with this meal for now.

The customers of this small shop are all common people. Even a stronger Usopp would not do such a thing as eating and free dining in such a place. It is better not to cause trouble for other small businesses.

After paying for the meal at the front desk, Usopp sat opposite the captain. The two of them waited for the restaurant's food to be served. During this time, he chatted with Illya who was hanging around the table. There were some things that only she, a local, knew.

"Illya, is Dressrosa usually as busy as it is today? The number of ships docked at the pier is more than what I saw in the Sabaody Archipelago."

The silver-haired girl brought a stool and sat next to Luffy, "My two brothers, you came at a perfect time. Tomorrow night is the music festival in Dressrosa. The king has invited many world celebrities. It's been very lively these days. The streets are crowded with people and most of the hotels are full. According to the promotion, there are more than 100,000 tourists attending the concert this time."

Dressrosa was originally a beautiful woman with a passion for music and dance. She gradually became famous in the Grand Line. It was already a great achievement to leave her name on this sea.

This concert has been in the planning for more than three years. While promoting it to the outside to attract tourists, the island is also being actively built internally. In order to empty the wallets of tourists, the king and cadres of Dressrosa have tried every possible means and used all possible incentives, resulting in more and more foreign tourists gathering here.

With a steady stream of tourists on the island, most ordinary islanders have a job that can provide them with food and clothing. Citizens who don't have a business mind can barely make a living by doing some physical work. In short, the living standard is getting better and better, and people are content to live this kind of life.

The three people's chat was interrupted by Bellshire who came to serve the dishes. Since these two people were introduced by Illya, a lot of food was prepared. I wonder if these two guys can eat so much at one time.

When Luffy saw the food coming, he didn't care about anything else and directly poured it into his mouth. He was too lazy to even chew it. "It tastes really good. Illya, it's a good thing that you are my guide. Oh..."

"Brother Luffy, eat slowly. No one is going to snatch it from you."

"Hahaha, Illya, our captain is like this. No one can beat him when it comes to eating."

Usopp grabbed a rice ball and stuffed it into his mouth. The breakfast was almost digested in his stomach. Seeing Luffy eating so happily, he felt even hungrier. In front of the silver-haired girl, he ignored his eating manners and ate like Luffy.

"The way you two brothers eat is the same as the black uncle who protects me. I really envy you for having such a good appetite."

Illya sat on the chair, swinging her legs, looking at these two new friends. Her perception was different from that of other pirates. Maybe Luffy and Usopp were good people!

Straw Hat Luffy and his companion were enjoying a pleasant meal when the shop was kicked open from the outside. The original wooden door of the restaurant was violently kicked into pieces, and the loud bang attracted the attention of the diners inside.

"Bellhill, when will you pay your rent? I have lost my patience with you."

Three minions wearing the uniforms of the Don Quixote family broke the tranquility of the store. When other people saw this scene, they did not step forward to stop them. They all looked as if you can't see me and hid in the corner, eating and drinking silently.

"I have already paid the rent a few days ago. I guess you remembered it wrongly, sir," Bellhill came out from the kitchen with a smile on her face. Even if the other party was very rude, she would still put on a smile.

"The rules have changed and the rent is going to increase. The money you paid a few days ago was not enough, so I notified you to raise the money quickly. It's been a few days and there has been no movement. Are you, you stinking bitch, turning a deaf ear to our Don Quixote's words?"

The evil debt collector had a foul mouth and attacked the woman directly, kicking Bellhill on her soft belly. He wanted to let the pain remind the poor woman that some things cannot be delayed.

Bellhill was kicked hard and fell to the ground, knocking over the table next to him. But even though she was treated so roughly, the woman still had a smile on her face. Even if she wanted to cry, she would cry in private. In front of these lackeys of the rulers, tears could not buy sympathy.

Luffy took the plate into his mouth, and after sucking the food into his stomach, he pulled the plate out of his mouth, which slightly satisfied his hunger. Facing the bullying of the weak in front of him, his rubber fists could not hold back.

Seeing the captain's eager expression, Usopp knew that these people would be in trouble today, but fighting in the restaurant would only implicate the people in this restaurant. He held Luffy's clenched fist and said, "We'll teach them a lesson when we get out. This fragile restaurant can't stand your tossing. I'll accompany you after these three people leave the store."

"Okay," Luffy frowned and suppressed his anger. He already regarded Illya as a friend. With his stubborn character, he would punch anyone who dared to hurt his friend, no matter who the person was.

If anyone dares to attack Bellshire, Luffy, with his stubborn temper, will not tolerate the lackeys of the Don Quixote family and will take action when the time is right.

Just when these three lackeys were about to use violence against Bellhill, a male voice came from outside the door, "You guys, who asked you to come?"

When the three minions heard the voice, they shuddered subconsciously, and their arrogant demeanor instantly shrank back. The long-faced man in the lead stammered and replied: "Ai... Lord Allen, we are just routinely granting the monthly rent."

"Then just go away and don't disturb my mood today"

The three soldiers were as if they had been pardoned, and they rolled away from everyone's sight. A young man with disheveled hair and a young blonde girl walked into the store calmly under everyone's gaze.
