In Kesha Town, Uta was choosing clothes. She didn't even like the clothing stores in Goa Kingdom, so naturally she wouldn't like the clothes here, so she chose them for Nami and Noki.
"These clothes suit you very well, go ahead and change." She put the clothes on Nami's body and said.
Nami sighed and said, "We have no money."
"Consider it a gift of our friendship." Uta said.
"..."
Nokigao and Nami were stunned. They couldn't imagine what kind of brain circuit this girl had. These were clothes bought with money, and she gave them away as a gift, taking it as a testimony of friendship...
When she thought of the "friendship fee" she had received before, Nokigao's face started to get hot.
She admitted that she was a little jealous when she saw the two glamorous children. Then when she saw the account-based payment that could be reimbursed to the navy at will, the idea of a friendship fee suddenly came to her mind.
But this girl is too...kind, right? Why do you still give others clothes?
They were pushed into the fitting room by Uta, put on clean and brand-new clothes, and looked at the fluttering dresses on their bodies, as if they were dreaming.
Nami ran to the dressing mirror and couldn't put it down, spinning around in circles to watch the skirt flutter.
"This... is too expensive, and Bellemere will be angry." Nuo Qigao became uneasy. She pressed the beautiful new skirt on her body and her eyes were red.
"Don't take it too seriously. Compared to money, happiness is the most important thing." Luffy said.
He was holding an adult's clothes in his hand, "How about giving these clothes to Bellemere? I want to hear the story of the war, so I'll just pay for the interruption."
"Thank you... thank you..." Noqigao felt his conscience aching.
Uta has no concept of money, and neither does Luffy.
His money comes from the navy, and the navy's money comes from the world government, which prints money.
In this world, except for Sky Island, which has an independent currency, Bailey is used all over the world.
Economists always scold them when they come over. The government doesn't care about you whether you're overpaying or not.
Like Kokoyashi Village, 10,000 beli a month for ordinary people is considered a wealthy level, but the navy can raise the price to 8 million beri for an ordinary bandit.
So the money was spent carelessly. He didn't believe he could use up the navy's money.
In other words, use up Karp’s salary.
Nami is still too young. She is not as sensible as Nokigao, and her conscience does not hurt like Nokigao. She only feels a little uneasy, and then forgets it under the temptation of the new dress.
A happy smile appeared on her face.
Looking at such a smile, Luffy also received the visual value he wanted.
Everything people do needs rewards to support their actions. Altruistic actions may seem a bit silly on a material level, but others are only pursuing spiritual rewards.
What Luffy pursues is this kind of satisfaction.
He watched little Nami carefully. Nami's family was too poor, so she was mediocre, but a little cute. Nami's figure exploded only "two years later."
Therefore, Xiao Nami has a bright future and has a lot of room for improvement.
"The next step is to buy food. Uta and I don't know how to cook. Can we entrust Aunt Bellemere to prepare three meals for us?" Luffy asked Nami and Nokigao.
Of course Luffy knows how to cook, but it's too troublesome so he doesn't want to cook it himself.
"Okay, Bellmere's cooking is delicious." Nami nodded excitedly.
So, Luffy first bought a cart, and then bought a lot of food to fill the cart. Nokigao and Nami looked at the cart filled with food in shock.
"Because I have to train, I eat a little too much." Luffy said.
After leaving the Shanks Pirates, Luffy keenly discovered that his strength growth had slowed down a bit.
Maybe it's the food.
Luffy thought, the standard training method is to get stronger at twice the speed, persistence day after day is to get stronger at twice the speed, and the right food is to get stronger at three times the speed.
With Uta's power, the first two are not problems, then the problem arises with food.
I need to call Grandpa and ask him if there is any way to solve this problem.
…
Bellmere smoked a cigarette and watched a few imps come back pushing a mountain of food.
"...That's it. I hope you can help us with our meals." Luffy said.
"Okay." Bellmere had no reason to refuse Luffy. With so much food, he could also improve the food for his two daughters.
"It's amazing, I actually eat three meals a day!" Noqigao said.
"As for the food issue, I still need to call Grandpa to ask..."
Luffy was obsessed with cooking the ingredients. He took out the phone bug and called Garp in front of Bellemere.
"Hey, Luffy, what's the matter with you?" Garp answered the phone impatiently.
"I'm going to have a donut eating competition with Sengoku, so don't bother me!"
The phone bug turned into a face with Chinese characters, and a strong voice came out.
"Lieutenant General K-Kapp!" Bellemere was greatly shocked. He didn't expect that he, a retired ordinary soldier, could hear the voice of a lieutenant general.
Still the voice of that living legend.
Garp groaned, not expecting that there were other women around Luffy.
"I'm Bellmere, a retired navy soldier, reporting to you." Bellmere straightened his posture and said to the phone bug.
Garp snorted, "Excuse me, my grandson. He always likes to cause trouble. He is so independent. Help me train him into a qualified sailor..."
"Compared to this, Grandpa, is there any way in the world to become stronger just by eating?" Luffy asked.
"Luffy, do you want to take a shortcut? How could such a thing exist in the world..." Garp said loudly.
Warring States coughed: "There are still some. You have forgotten that the attack cuisine of the Shemale Kingdom not only tastes good, but can also strengthen the body and get in good shape after eating. It has the same effect as the food method of our Navy Headquarters."
Garp sighed and said, "It turns out our navy has it. What do you mean? I'll transfer you to the navy's chief chef. Ask him."
"But can you cook?" Karp asked.
"You don't need to worry about it, grandpa." Luffy said with satisfaction after getting the answer.
"Damn it, this guy comes to me every time to ask questions." Garp hung up the phone angrily.
"He's a very energetic boy, isn't he? How about arranging for him to enter the boot camp? It's just right. I can arrange for him to educate Zefa together with Peacock and Skylark. We can also be regarded as successors."
Garp snorted, "That kid has been hanging out with Shanks' daughter all day long... Come on, let the donut competition begin!"
"Old guy, you can run away!" Warring States grabbed a handful of donuts and stuffed them into his mouth.
