81: Chapter 81 An Unexpected Encounter with WeiweiAfter a five-day voyage, the four humans and one bear finally arrived in the Kingdom of Alabasta.Peggy and Shakky, disembarking from the ship, stood on the long-missed land, kicking their feet and breathing in the dry, sea-free air, feeling how wonderful the world was.
However, Bepo then said, rather inappropriately, "It seems like it's time for us to train again."
The two cheerful boys instantly collapsed upon hearing this, their faces contorted in despair as they braced themselves for a beating.Seeing this, Wang Lufei chuckled and said:
"Alright, we just arrived in Alabasta today.Let's go buy some essential items for the ship first.We can leave the training for tonight."
Peggy and Shakky nodded quickly upon hearing this, and pulled Bepo along as they ran towards the market, afraid that Luffy would change his mind and make them continue training.
Seeing their hurried footsteps, Wang Luffy shook his head, then looked at Law and said, "We've arrived at land after so long, shall we go for a walk?"
Luo leaned against the submarine and waved his hand, saying, "I won't go.I don't like crowded places; they make me feel uncomfortable.Besides, the ship needs someone to watch over it.You guys can go; I'll 'guard the house.'"
Seeing this, Wang Lufei didn't say anything more, left a "take care" and slowly walked towards the market like Pekin and the others.
Luo chuckled to himself as he watched Wang Lufei's retreating figure, "Ha!Naive," before returning to his cabin to peruse his medical books.
Wang Luffy's visit to the market wasn't aimless; he needed to find the permanent pointer to Drum Kingdom.However, after wandering around, he discovered that nobody was selling it.
To be precise, ordinary people simply wouldn't dare sell permanent pointers.
Because in this world, only a few groups of people possess permanent GPS gliders: pirates, marines, and the World Government.Merchants and the like register with the Marines and are then provided with them.
So every time Wang Lufei went up to ask, the smiling vendor's expression would instantly change, and he would hurriedly say "I don't have any" in fear and apprehension.He was very afraid of being arrested as a pirate.
Then a vendor reported to the Alabasta Guard that there was a suspicious teenager asking around for permanent pointers, possibly wanting to go to sea and become a pirate.
The security team then arrived and stopped Wang Luffy, who was still wandering around aimlessly, saying, "What's wrong with you, kid?Why did you go out to sea to become a pirate?"
Wang Lufei was a little confused when he heard this, and said, "What do you mean by that?"
The Alabasta security forces were relatively good-natured at the moment, and they explained to Wang Luffy, "We just received a report from the public that you are looking for and buying permanent pointers to go to Drum Country.Don't you know that buying and selling permanent pointers is illegal?And only people who want to become pirates would buy these things."
Upon hearing this, Wang Luffy suddenly realized that he had thought the Log Pose was something that could be bought and sold casually, since the main characters obtained it so easily in the original work.It turned out that only special people had this thing.
Hmm?Wait a minute, was Grandpa Wolf a pirate when he was young?How did he get the Alabasta Perpetual Log Pose?Thinking of this, Luffy couldn't help but shake his head.
After his random thoughts ended, Wang Lufei said, "Sorry, I always saw my family members carrying lots of permanent pointers, so I thought they were things that could be bought and sold."
Upon hearing this, the captain of the guard team was on high alert.What kind of family is this?They have so many permanent Log Poseidons—could they be the young master of a super-large pirate crew?
A few beads of cold sweat trickled down the forehead of the garrison captain, who gripped his rifle tightly.He thought, "I was too hasty.I should have brought more men.No, I shouldn't have come at all!"
Wang Luffy felt a little helpless when he saw the panicked look on the guard captain's face after hearing his words.Clearly, he had misunderstood; Wang Luffy had mentioned the Navy, but the captain seemed to have taken it as a pirate crew.
Just as Wang Luffy was about to explain and ease the tense atmosphere, a blue-haired girl with a duck suddenly stepped out from the crowd and shouted at Wang Luffy, "Are you that pirate?Don't bully my people!If you've got the guts, come at me!"
A middle-aged man with tousled hair followed behind, pleading in a low voice, "Oh dear, my little princess, let's.let's not get involved in this mess!What am I supposed to do if you accidentally get hurt anywhere?"
Wang Lufei couldn't help but smile when he saw this familiar group, and said, "Princess?She's quite considerate of the people, a nice person."
Vivi blushed a little at Wang Luffy's praise and retorted arrogantly, "No, don't think that praising me will make me happy.I will not let any pirate who oppresses my people get away with it!"
After speaking, Weiwei proudly raised her head 45 degrees to look at the sky.Although the sky was very dazzling, she soon lowered her head, but this did not prevent Wang Lufei from seeing her arrogant nature.
I can't help but wonder, is Weiwei's personality so different when she was a child compared to when she grew up?
Where did that silly blue-haired goddess from the original work come from?A proud and aloof girl was somehow turned into a complete idiot.Crocodile, you've done so many bad things!(Yes, I'm talking about Aqua ⊙ω⊙)
Wang Luffy said, "But the problem is, I'm not a pirate either!"
Weiwei said, "If you weren't a pirate, would the guard captain be this scared?You must have said something threatening for him to act like this."
He then glanced at the captain of the garrison and said, "Boldly repeat what he just threatened you with.Don't be afraid, I'm here, I'll stand up for you!"
Then the guard captain repeated Wang Luffy's words verbatim.Wang Luffy, with a half-smile, said to Weiwei, "See?Did I ever say I was a pirate?"
Weiwei realized that things were indeed a bit.Yes, she was a little flustered, but still said arrogantly, "Then tell me why your family has so many permanent pointers."
Wang Luffy laughed and said, "Because my family is in the Navy.You guys don't think the Navy is short of permanent pointers, do you?"
"If you don't lack it, then why are you coming to the market to buy all this stuff?" the guard captain thought to himself.But he didn't dare say it aloud.
Weiwei clearly hadn't expected this, and took two steps back in a panic, saying to the duck, "You're fast, it's your turn.Go, go and kill him."
Upon hearing Weiwei's words, the duck glanced at the "fierce-looking" Wang Lufei and then lay down, after all, it was just a little duck and couldn't understand what she was saying.
Seeing that the running was about to start, Weiwei stomped her foot in frustration and looked at Wang Lufei with a troubled expression, saying, "I'm sorry, I misunderstood you."
