Luffy handed the wallet in his hand to Uta.
The girl tilted her head in confusion.
"As you said, there is no use for me to take the money. It is all recorded in the name of the navy, but it is very inconvenient for Uta to have no money."
Uta nodded and took the wallet.
Luffy put the straw hat on Uta's head again to block the sun.
"Then, when Uta becomes a big star, make money and return it to Luffy."
The girl pinched both ends of the straw hat and said with a smile.
…
"I thought it was the navy coming here, why are there two children..."
Some residents noticed the naval flag flying over the sea and came over curiously.
It turned out that apart from the two children, there was only one animal lying on the deck basking in the sun.
Commodore Pudding Pudding did not take away the navy flag. In his opinion, Luffy was a natural naval type, and it would be okay to give him the flag.
Besides, this area is covered by him. If there is any trouble, just give him the military flag.
The brigadier general has the highest rank in this area, and only the major general can suppress him. But in the East China Sea, it is impossible for an officer of the rank of major general to appear.
Even if a major general is demoted in a vacuum, he is no match for the lieutenant general. He has already hugged Lieutenant General Garp's leg and must not let go!
Pudding Pudding was very relieved and deliberately left countless naval supplies for Luffy.
Luffy carefully checked the chart and found that Commodore Pudding was indeed the closest naval base to Cocoa West Village.
Colonel Mouse, who colluded with Aaron and his gang, was from the 16th branch of the navy. He was far away from Cocoa West Village and was only at the level of a colonel.
I have no impression of Pudding Pudding...
Luffy put away the chart in confusion.
It's not like he and Aaron were together and fell into the sea as soon as they met, right?
That guy is capable of boxing with me head-on, so he has some strength.
"Why do you two have the navy's flag?" The villagers gathered around curiously.
As a symbol of the navy, the military flag will naturally not be leaked out at will and used privately. Anyone who pretends to be the navy will be directly regarded as a pirate and arrested.
"Good afternoon. I am the grandson of Lieutenant General Garp. I am traveling here. Please let us live here temporarily."
"So that's it, he's Garp's grandson..." The villagers nodded.
Since he is Garp's grandson, it is normal to have a military flag.
Wait... "Lieutenant General Garp's grandson??"
The villagers looked at Luffy in shock, and then looked at the ship behind him. If they looked carefully, it looked like a naval warship. They had to ask Bellmere, she is a retired sailor, to verify the authenticity...
"Please come in, you two are very welcome to our Cocoyasi Village..." The villagers welcomed the two people with great enthusiasm.
Treat it seriously first. If it is fake, then you must give it a good education!
It is absolutely intolerable that someone uses the name of a naval hero to swindle!
"Grandpa Luffy's name is so useful!"
Uta stamped his feet and walked beside Luffy angrily.
At this point, Shanks loses too much to Garp.
"When Shanks passes the test of manhood, he will also have such a reputation!"
"Hey, then saying it will stop the child from crying at night." Luffy said with a smile.
The title of "Emperor Who Rules the Sea" is a supreme crime, and it is only valid within Shanks's ruling area. Using it elsewhere is directly regarded as a provocation.
"hateful!"
She opened her mouth and stretched her neck, revealing a row of milky white and neat teeth under her cherry blossom lips, biting Luffy's neck.
"Even Luffy is not allowed to speak ill of Shanks!" she said vaguely.
Hiss~ It's so itchy... I was rubbed by my tongue... Is this a bad word? Uta really has zero tolerance.
A row of light-colored teeth marks were left on the skin, and Uta released his teeth with satisfaction.
Uta loosened his lips and looked at the row of tooth marks with satisfaction.
"It hurts." Luffy shouted in coordination with Uta.
"Humph, because Luffy's body is too hard, I can only teach you a lesson with my teeth!"
"Luffy tastes a little salty."
Uta touched her lips with her hand.
"Of course it is, I'm sweating."
"Damn it, stop, don't steal anything!"
A high-pitched shout came from afar.
Accompanied by the little girl's laughter.
A very sunny girl with short citrus hair came running from the corner. She was holding a heavy book in her hand, and Luffy saw the words "contour lines" on it.
Because she wasn't looking at the road, she bumped into Luffy and was about to fall down when the boy, with quick eyes and quick hands, grabbed her arm hard and grabbed the book in the air with his other hand.
"Eh?"
The girl with short orange hair looked at the strange boy in front of her. His head seemed to overlap with the midday sun, emitting dazzling light.
The clean white T-shirt has a sun seal on it, and the fabric is also of high quality. With the naked eye, you can notice the silky smoothness of the material and the body underneath that is as hard as a steel knife.
Slung across his back is a long sword, also a gorgeous thing decorated with jewelry.
"Please be careful." The boy helped the girl up and returned the book to her.
I took a look at the cover, map drawing knowledge.
"Nami, are you stealing books again?" the villager asked happily.
"What does it matter? There are still many books." Nami reacted and stuck out her tongue to the villagers while holding the book.
She was wearing a light green dress that looked very old. The green color had been washed a lot whiter, and there were still some traces of sewing, but it was very clean.
"You are saying this again. Isn't it normal for a bookstore to have many books?"
Behind him, the man chasing Nami came panting, wearing a police hat with a windmill spinning on his head.
There are some scars on his face, and he looks very vicious.
Probably because Luffy, who was her age, saved her, she felt safe. She trotted up behind Luffy and stuck out her tongue at that person.
"These two are..." The man slowed down when he saw the two unfamiliar children.
Nami took advantage of this opportunity and ran towards the edge of the village without looking back, holding the book in her arms.
"I heard he's Garp's grandson. I'm about to take him to Bellemere." The villagers introduced Luffy's situation.
"Really? I'm going to find Bellemere, the grandson of that adult, and ask her to discipline Nami."
"Hahaha, Nami really likes books."
"You can't steal it..."
Uta looked at the structure of the village and asked Mr. Xiang, "Who is Bellemere, the chief of the village?"
"No, she is a retired navy soldier. The girl is very cute. Are you two alone?"
"I am the police officer in the village, just call me Ajian"
"Well, it's just the two of us." Uta nodded.
"We're here for an adventure!"
"Oh, I'm very motivated, but isn't it too dangerous without an adult?" Ajian asked.
"Luffy will protect me, so it's okay."
"He is more powerful than adults."
Taken glanced at the muscles on Luffy's body and the gun holster on his waist.
Maybe he really is Garp's grandson...
He thought so.
The group of people gradually left the town and entered the orange grove.
Luffy picked two and peeled them off to eat.
Citrus is also a favorite food. Luffy is addicted to eating it. He peels and eats it while walking, and even gives some to Uta by the way.
"Hey, kid over there, what are you doing!"
A girl with blue hair who was shorter than Uta stood up and asked.
"Nuo Qigao, he is Garp's grandson, it's okay to eat some." Ajian stepped forward and said.
"The naval heroes have been guarding the East China Sea for so long, and we can't help them much."
"The grandson of a naval hero?" A female adult twitched her ears and emerged from the orange grove.
He looked at Luffy with curious eyes.
"Bellemere, they came here on a navy ship. That ship is still docked at the port. I never expected that that naval hero actually has a grandson..." the villager said.
"Bellemere, you need to discipline Nami well. She must have run home now. This little bad cat has stolen books again!" Jian said angrily.
"I understand, one by one, there are really many things to do. Please come home and have a cup of tea."
Bellmere had a lady's cigarette between her lips. She had red plum-colored hair, wrapped in a scarf and tied into a high ponytail.
Bellemeier's eyes are a little tired, but bright, and her figure is also hot. Her top is a shirt with a waist-cinching effect, which reflects her broad mind and slender waist. Her lower body is a pair of black cropped pants. Look. It looks a bit old.
"Really, she should stop it a little, she is already famous in the village..."
Nami opened the window. She lay on the window and looked at the adults in the orange grove outside the window.
Then he noticed the two richly dressed peers.
The desire for new clothes made her pay attention to the girl Uta.
A simple straw hat covers her hair, with red and white twin ponytails hanging down from her waist. Her top is a simple white sling, with a black lining underneath, revealing her delicate collarbones and looming thin waist. Just right, undulating like a hill.
She fully displayed the charm of clothes like suspenders. She was obviously a little girl, but she showed a very pure and a little bit of lust.
Especially the pair of purple eyes. If the eyes are lowered, there will be a sense of charm conveyed by the deep purple.
It's great, this girl looks like the eldest daughter of a wealthy family. She doesn't have to wear old clothes worn by others, she can also wear jewelry, and she can read whatever books she wants.
Uta noticed Nami's gaze, and she quietly made a meow gesture to the girl on the far window, showing a bright smile.
Looking at Ajian who kept chattering, Bellemere came closer and touched Ajian's scarred face with his rough hands.
"It doesn't matter, she's just a child. Ah Jian, you've done some cheating, big or small, right? Can you guarantee that you've never done this before?"
Ajian still maintained a fierce look, but his tone quickly softened. His eyes were deeply attracted by Bellemeier's broad mind:
"Really, you are always like this, what you do is what you do, and the children don't learn well..."
"I know, I know, thank you, you will help me pay..." Bellemere said in a confident tone.
The moment Uta approached Ajian in Bellmere, her interest shifted from the girl on the window to the interaction between adults.
She watched every move of the adults with her purple eyes, and her heartbeat gradually accelerated.
"I don't have any money now. I'll pay it back to you next time, with my body."
Bellemel blew into Ajian's ear quietly.
Uta pricked up her ears, and the tips of her ears gradually turned red.
She saw the originally fierce uncle stuttering and blushing: "Don't always talk about such things, there are children around..."
Bellemere and Noqigao who were standing beside him laughed when they saw Ajian like this.
This conversation has been repeated many times, and every time I see Ajian's expression, I want to laugh.
She is so powerful, a mature and badass woman, Wang Zhili started to get agitated, and the aftermath of the flirtation was felt!
Luffy looked at Bellmere's methods in amazement.
Then pick and peel oranges.
If the pants move at this time, then life will be dark.
Come on, willpower, don't lose to this level of dark power!
Ajian and the villagers fled, and Bellmer looked at the two children, "The body is a girl's most deadly weapon."
Bellemere noticed the way Uta was staring at her. She thought about it, closed one eye, and spoke in a very girlish tone.
"Hey, you picked all the oranges!"
Nokigao noticed the orange tree nearby.
"Oh, I'll pay."
Luffy peeled another orange.
"Then please eat more." Nuo Qigao said loudly and spinelessly.
"Come into the house first." Bellemeier said with a gentle smile.
Bellmere's room is far away from the village and lives on the edge of the cliff. It is a very remote place.
But the room was very clean. When she opened the white door, she saw a huge living room. Nami was already holding a book and waiting obediently for Bellemere's scolding.
Although Bellmere was very protective of them outside, he would severely criticize them when he entered the house.
"Bellemere, I'm sorry, I also want to read this book." Nami hugged the book tightly.
"You have read a lot of books," Bellemeier said, lighting a cigarette and rubbing his temples.
"Have you finished the last book again?"
"Yeah."
"You have to pay obediently. The orange harvest is very good, so we still have this little money." Bellemere took out the money and handed it to Nami.
But Nami reluctantly took the money.
Bellmere looked at the two new children again.
"I heard that you are Garp's grandson. I am just an ordinary retired soldier. I don't know much about senior officials... Judging from your appearance, it must be true, right?"
Bellmere said that Uta and Luffy's equipment looked like extremely high-end goods.
Forget about girls, the first thing Bellemere noticed was the gun on Luffy's waist. It was the standard pistol equipped by naval officers.
She relied on this to identify Luffy.
Even if it wasn't Garp's, it was the children of other high-ranking navy officials.
As for the most unlikely possibility, these two children stole the navy's equipment and sailed over... This is too impossible.
Cocoyasi Village is a village close to the naval base. Although it is poor, it has a high sense of security.
"How much did you bring? My oranges are all high-end goods and sold by the piece." Noqigao was most concerned about money.
"Oh, please keep the account. It doesn't matter if you write more." Luffy took out the card with the seagull mark.
"Miss Bellemere, you should know this."
"The ID card distributed by the Navy to senior officers will have numbers rotating on it. If the number is recorded, you can go to the Navy to get Bailey." Bellmer held the card between two fingers.
Look at the numbers used to mark your identity.
General officers will not carry a large amount of Bailey when they go out. If they encounter things like replenishing supplies, they will have people go to the naval base to reimburse them in the form of accounting.
"I never thought you would really be Garp's grandson."
She put away her usual laziness and said to Luffy.
