Chapter 91 Encounter
"Bellhill, are you okay?"
The black-haired young man stood next to the woman and stretched out his hand to help her up.
"Alan, I didn't expect your name to be so useful. You are too low-key in normal times." Bellhill was pulled up by the people who rescued her. She was kicked hard, but it did not affect her business.
She looked at the familiar customer in front of her again. The woman had never thought that the young man in front of her would be so powerful. Look how scared those lackeys were. Could it be that Alan was an officer of Don Quixote?
The smart woman just buried her guess in her heart and a smile appeared on her face again, "Alan, is this your daughter? What a pretty girl. I will give you free meal today."
The little blonde girl glared at the outgoing woman and said coldly: "I'm not his daughter, you're wrong."
This little girl, who looks less than five years old, is not shy even though Alan is holding her hand. She is a small girl but she cannot lose in terms of momentum. She is also a precocious child.
"It's my partner's child. She ran away secretly this time. I have to send her back later."
"Humph, I will run away sooner or later, you adults can't control me."
The little loli was rather rude and called Alan's name directly, pouting her lips and making a bit of a fuss, like a little female devil who looked down on others.
This strange pair picked a clean table, and the young man named Allen prepared to order food. The blonde loli was controlled by him, and the adult's strength made it impossible for her to break free, so she could only sit down obediently.
This time, Bellhill served the food very quickly. Less than fifteen minutes after the new customer placed the order, the woman came over with two plates and said, "Alan, your taste remains the same. It saves time to serve customers like you."
The blonde loli looked at the fork in her hand with disdain, she had a little obsession with cleanliness and felt that the tableware was not washed clean. She was born into a noble family and had her own tableware, she had never used other people's tableware, "Is the food of the poor so delicious? This time, as long as you let me go, I can treat you to many big meals."
Alan ignored the other person and continued to eat by himself. He had eaten the food in this restaurant many times and the taste was already very familiar to him. He was a nostalgic person and didn't like to try new things. He had been a frequent visitor to Bellhill's restaurant over the past few years.
Seeing Alan eating happily, the little blonde girl felt a little sulky. She never looked down on places like this where only poor people came.
Two figures came over and sat down uninvited. One of them was a poor guy wearing a straw hat. He was so rude that he poured the food on the table into his mouth without the owner's consent!
"Alan, I didn't expect you to be in Dressrosa. It's been so many years since we last met. Oh... I feel a little choked... on water..."
The guy in the straw hat kept pounding his neck. He swallowed too much food at once and it got stuck there. His face turned pale and he was on the verge of suffocation.
"Luffy, the water is here," the silver-haired girl quickly appeared from behind and handed him a kettle, but she was still a step too slow.
The long-nosed muscular man next to him suddenly punched his straw hat companion on the back, solving the problem of Luffy with physical means.
“I was saved. I thought I was going to choke to death.”
The blonde loli couldn't help rolling her eyes at this weird combination. Do these two people really know Alan?
"I saw you when I just walked in. If it weren't for this kid, I would have sat next to you." Alan was still the same as before, with no expression of joy or sadness on his face, and no emotion could be seen. There was not much change five years later than five years ago.
"Don't describe me as a child"!
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to her as the adults were talking to each other. They were old friends who hadn't seen each other for many years, so they started talking.
Luffy sat at this table, firstly to get a free meal, and secondly because he was curious about what happened to his old friend. "Alan, was your illness cured on Drum Island?"
Alan picked up the wine glass and poured a whole glass into his mouth, then replied calmly: "It has been suppressed temporarily, but not completely cured yet."
"Well, I'm glad to see you're okay now." Luffy originally wanted to talk about Chopper and wanted to suggest that Eren go on board the Thousand Sunny to see a doctor, but when he thought that the ship's doctor was not 100% sure, he decided to forget it and not waste his friend's time.
During the subsequent meal and conversation, Alan got a general idea of Luffy and his crew's current situation. They had changed to a new ship, recruited some new partners, experienced many adventures on other islands, and after the Battle of Marineford, they each trained for five years before setting out to sea again to start a new adventure. The Straw Hat Pirates were free all the way.
Alan did not hide anything. He took the medicine prepared by Dr. Kuleha and temporarily suppressed the illness in his body. He did not choose to wait for Chopper to come back on Drum Island. Instead, he boarded a pirate ship and came to Dressrosa, where he stayed for several years.
The three of them reminisced about the past together. Alan treated the two poor guys to a big meal. Since the pocket money Nami gave him was not enough, Luffy could only get the meal for free.
Soon it was time to say goodbye again. Alan wanted to send the blonde loli next to him back. They had been out for a long time, and the girl's mother would be unhappy if they were still reminiscing here.
Watching Alan pulling the girl's hand and leaving the restaurant, Usopp watched the two of them leave. Luffy completed the last clean plate action, bringing the meal to a successful conclusion.
He is a rubber man who ate too much food at one time, and his whole body became swollen, round and fat, which aroused the curiosity of Illya beside him. She poked Luffy's belly with her fingers from time to time. She could feel the strong elasticity and Luffy's skin was very interesting.
"Alan should have joined the Shichibukai faction. It's a pity that we almost had a giant crew member on our ship."
Usopp had a look of regret on his face, and his words made Luffy feel a little disappointed, "If I had persisted at that time, maybe I wouldn't have missed Eren that day."
"Is that Mr. Allen very powerful?" Illya opened her big ruby eyes with a very curious expression.
Alan and the blonde girl beside him could no longer be seen. Before the two of them left the slums, a man who was swimming and moving across the land successfully found them.
The visitor was wearing a pink baby outfit and holding a pacifier in his mouth. At first glance, he looked like a complete pervert. "Elsa, there have been a lot of outsiders coming to Dressrosa recently. It's not safe for you to sneak out alone. Call me when you want to go out."
"Senior, I won't do that next time," Aisha broke free from Alan's big hand and came to the side of the pervertedly dressed man.

"I'll leave Elsa to you. Don't let her run out of the palace again. If Doflamingo finds out, she will be locked up in the small dark room again," Alan said and patted Elsa's little head as a warning to the little loli.
Whose child is this Elsa? This has aroused the curiosity of the audience outside the screen.
