Chapter 23 Uninvited guests strike, mr.5 debuts! (2 more)(1/2)
After a period of voyage, Soro followed Vivi and mr.9 to the Whiskey Peak.
This is the first island the Straw Hat Pirates landed on after entering the Great Way.
On the surface, it is a small town that welcomes pirates, but in fact it is a gathering place for pirate hunters.
It is also a subsidiary branch of the Baroque Working Society.
Many pirates entering the great route were buried here.
But Soro is not worried about his situation.
As the mayor here, Ikalem immediately asked someone to prepare to greet him when he saw Vivi returning, and he couldn't help but feel confused.
Didn’t Vivi just go to sea for a while?
Why did you come back so soon?
Is something wrong?
Ikalem's face looked plain on the surface, but he couldn't help but start to worry.
His true identity is actually the captain of the guard of the Kingdom of Alabastan.
It was the Baroque Work Club that I entered in order to protect Princess Vivi’s safety in secret.
And got involved in the identity of an intermediate agent.
Considering that pirates will only bring disasters and troubles to Alabastan.
So he didn't feel guilty about hunting pirates over the years.
Soon, Vivi's ship stopped at the dock, took Soro and MR.9 off the ship, and asked the people of Ikalem to warmly entertain Soro.
"navy?"
Ikalem was surprised to notice Soro's outfit.
I can't understand how Princess Weiwei met with the Navy.
"Thank you, Wednesday."
Seeing this, Soro expressed his gratitude to Vivi, so he decided to take a break here, then requisition a sailboat and leave.
As for Vivi’s troubles.
Of course, Luffy helped her solve it.
After a while, Soro disappeared from Vivi's sight.
"call……"
At this time, Weiwei also covered her chest and her tone relaxed.
"So, what's going on now? Aren't you going to solve that whale?"
Seeing that there was no one around, Ikalem simply resumed his honorific words.
"Also, what's going on with that navy?"
"I'm about to tell you about this, Ikalem." Vivi paused for a moment, and then told about the experience on the sea.
When Ikalem heard Vivi say Soro's name, his eyes suddenly widened, and he couldn't help looking in the direction where Soro left, "Is that person Smog?"
"Smoger, is it very famous?" Wei Wei was stunned when she saw this.
She has been with Ikalem for a long time and knows Ikalem's personality very well.
Just a name makes him show such an expression.
It's really rare.
"If that guy is really the Smog I know, then he will definitely be better than you think."
Then Ikalem told what he knew.
What a white hunter?
What eyes can't accommodate pirates?
etc……
"So that's it." Weiwei suddenly realized when she heard this, "No wonder he would exude such murderous aura when he mistakenly thought that we were pirates."
Until now, when I think of that scene, Vivi still feels scared.
"However, I have only heard of Smog and have never seen them. As for whether he is the Smog, it is better not to be arbitrary."
Ikalem thought for a moment.
I really haven't seen Solo on the reward order.
Even if he is killed, he will not get a bounty.
And he was wearing a naval uniform and was alone.
There is really no motivation to attack him.
"Anyway, after entertaining him, give him a small sailboat and let him leave here."
Seeing that Ikalem could not confirm Solo's identity, Vivi gave up and continued to give such instructions.
"Well, I have to do that."
And in this matter, Ikalem and Vivi have the same attitude.
So in the next time.
Ikalem led the residents of the town to entertain Soro with an extremely enthusiastic manner.
Not only did he introduce the culture of the town, but he also carefully prepared a variety of food.
Vivi plans to go out to sea with mr.9 again to find food.
Otherwise, the two of them would not be able to report to the boss of the Baroque Work Club.
After two days and one night of rest, Soro's naval uniform was completely dry.
Then he brought some food and prepared to leave.
"Anyway, thank you for your care these days."
Although Solo always has a salted fish character, he is not a person who takes others' kindness to him as a matter of course.
Just before leaving, Sorote expressed his gratitude to Ikalem and left part of his money to Ikalem.
"These money is enough to pay for the food these days, and the cost of the boat."
While speaking, Soro threw a purse at Ikalem.
This sudden scene was unexpected by Ikalem.
He subconsciously grabbed the wallet, which was even heavier than he expected.
Not to mention just two days, even a week, I'm afraid it's more than enough.
For a moment, Ikalem couldn't help but believe that Soro was a navy, not a pirate.
"Um."
Ikalem nodded and simply kindly reminded Soro.
The situation in Alabastan is now somewhat turbulent.
Although it is not clear what the purpose of Solo's trip is, it is best to be careful when passing there.
In this way, the two of them exchanged a few more greetings and said goodbye.
As for Princess Vivi.
Soro didn't ask a single redundant word.
He was too lazy to ask.
Anyway, there are Luffy.
There is no need to worry about Clockdal's affairs.
However……
Just as Soro was about to leave here, an explosion suddenly sounded in the town.
Rumble!
This sudden scene instantly attracted Ikalem's attention, and he subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound.
A fire rayed into the sky.
Then there was a rolling smoke, rolling upwards, like a gray mushroom cloud blooming.
Gulu.
Ikalem rolled his throat and swallowed nervously.
An unknown premonition also arose in his heart.
To be continued...
