One Piece: From Picking Up Red Hair's Broken Arm

Chapter 46 Unplanned Uninvited Guests

Under the warm orange light, the family is having dinner together.

Xia Nuo buried his head in eating. After untying the knot in his heart, everything he ate tasted more delicious. The plates in front of him piled higher and higher, almost reaching the ceiling.

Bellmère had already eaten his fill. He lit a thin cigarette and leaned against the door, watching the scene with a smile on his face.

The child's appetite is getting more and more exaggerated. It is common for him to eat hundreds of kilograms of food in one meal. So she expanded the kitchen and built a small wooden house next to it, which is used as a food storage room.

The problem of food is solved.

It’s this dress…

Bellemere was a little worried. The stores she went to most often now, besides the fruit, vegetable and meat stores, were clothing stores.

Almost every one or two months, Xia Nuo's figure would grow taller and bigger. The clothes she made herself could not keep up with the pace, so she had to buy large quantities of ready-made clothes to make up for it.

But winter is coming soon, and it’s better to knit a sweater yourself to keep warm. But how big should it be?

She is having a headache.

Xia Nuo, who was trying hard to fill his stomach, was also thinking about similar questions.

Compared with people of the same age, my current body shape is indeed a bit too abnormal. My terrifying muscles are intimidating to the enemy, but they are not so convenient in daily life.

For example, now, he doesn't dare to move his butt while eating. If he moves a little too much, the chair under his butt will creak.

The bathtub was unusable and we had to use a lawn spray gun to shower.

The doors in the house could be modified if they could be, but for those that could not be modified, he had to bend sideways, lower his head and be careful to pass through.

"It would be nice if I could split into two forms, a normal form and a combat form, like Frieza..."

Xia Nuo thought so silently.

……

In the next few days, Xia Nuo was busy finishing up.

After getting rid of the Arlong Pirates, several new problems arise.

First of all, what should we do with the treasure on the ship?
Ajian, Manba and others counted the money and found that there were more than 300 million Baileys.

Shanuo is not a saint. If Aaron had robbed the property in the Grand Line, he would not have bothered to run so far and go through so much trouble to investigate and return it one by one. He would have just accepted it with a smile.

But the tragedy happened in several neighboring island villages and towns, especially Kesa Town, which was reduced to ruins because of failure to pay the money, with heavy casualties. He could not remain indifferent to this.

After much thought, he felt it was too troublesome and decided to entrust everything to Uncle Ajian.

Ajian contacted the surrounding villages and towns to return the properties to their original owners, and the surplus was used for the reconstruction of Kesa Town.

This action, coupled with the previous victory over the Arlong Pirates.

This made his reputation in Kokoyasi Village reach a new height.

If you just take a walk around the town, the shop owners on both sides will greet you enthusiastically. When you walk down a street, your hands will be piled high with things that everyone has stuffed at you.

But...

In the end, the two younger sisters got the money, and they snatched it all up when they got home.

In addition, Arlong's pirate ship now belongs to him.

But this is easy to deal with. With a little modification and cleaning, and removing the pirate flag and shark tooth clashing head, it can be transformed into a very good civilian ship.

The orange orchard industry at home is developing in full swing, and we are in need of a transport ship with a large enough capacity.

The only remaining question is where to collect the bounties of these pirates.

Aaron offered a reward of 2000 million berries, and Kroobi offered a reward of 900 berries.

Xiao Ba, Jiu and other cadres also have several million, and when added up, the total amount reaches more than 8000 million Baileys.

Shanuo is already very rich and is not really interested in making more money.

However, the head cannot be sacrificed, and he always feels like he is losing out if it does not bring out its due value. What's more, the money is what he deserves.

So he simply found the nearby nautical chart information from the book he bought for Nami, cut off the heads of these fishmen, and prepared to go to the nearest naval branch to collect the reward.

There are two naval branches closest to us. One is the 16th branch in the northwest.

The other is Branch 77 in the southeast.

Needless to say, there are 16 branches.

Shanuo asked Bellmère for help and contacted her former colleagues.

After learning that the current base commander, a colonel named Lao Shu, had just taken office last year, he immediately gave up the idea of ​​going to the 16th branch to receive the reward.

As for Branch 77, Xia Nuo had a vague impression of this branch.

It seems that in the original time and space, the warship that dared to fire at Along Paradise belonged to the 77th Branch.

The base commanders may have changed from time to time, but they are definitely more reliable than rats.

"So you want to go out to sea again tomorrow morning, to Branch 77?" Bellmère said at the dinner table, a little unhappy. "It'll take four or five days to go back and forth."

"Well, maybe four or five days won't be enough. It'll probably take more than half a month." Xia Nuo said, "I made some friends when I went out to sea last time, and I plan to stop by and visit them."

By the way, let’s get another round of benefits, which is actually more important.

"More than half a month?" Bellmère's eyes widened, but after thinking for a moment, he sighed, "It's up to you. Just remember to come back as soon as possible."

In the past, I was worried about Xia Nuo’s safety when he went out to sea alone, but now?
Bell-mère snorted. Even a large group of pirates from the Grand Line were beaten down. Looking across the entire East China Sea, who else could be a match for his son?

Even though she doesn't usually brag about it like Nami does, deep down, she is extremely proud to have such a son!

"Brother, I want to go too!"

"Me, me, and me!"

The two sisters suddenly raised their hands one after another. Bellmère narrowed his eyes and his expression instantly became unfriendly.

Xia Nuo smiled and said, "Let them come along. It's boring to stay at home all the time. It might as well be an eye-opener."

The two little ones looked at Bellmère pitifully.

"..." Bellmère held his forehead helplessly, "Alright, but let me make one thing clear first. You must listen to your brother when you go out. If you come back and let me know that you are mischievous again, don't even think about going out again!"

"Great!"

Nojigo and Nami cheered and high-fived in celebration.

"Then let's make a deal. I will be the navigator for this journey!"

Nami wiped her nose with her thumb proudly, "Hehe, who told you that you don't know as much as I do about this?"

"Then I'll be the helmsman!" Noki raised his head. "I can ride a bicycle, and I'm the best at driving!"

You're riding a children's bike, okay? Or the kind that you begged me to modify with two small wheels?

Xia Nuo patted the two little heads speechlessly.

"Don't dream. This time I'm going to sail the Arlong Pirates' ship. I've already asked the village's professional helmsmen and navigators to help. Some of Man Scar and the others will also be going with them. You two can just sit there and absorb their experience, but don't even think about taking the lead yourself."

Nojigo and Nami's cheers suddenly turned into wails:
"Hey——Why is this——"

……

It was the next day in a blink of an eye.

The group was ready to go to Branch 77. Xia Nuo stood on the deck leaning against the railing, waiting for his two sisters to board the ship, while taking out the nautical chart to confirm the route.

"The 77th Branch and Shimotsuki Village are in the same direction. This will save a lot of time. If we go to the Goa Kingdom, Manscar and the others are very familiar with the terrain there and can help me find Luffy quickly."

He was just pondering when he suddenly heard Nami's cry from the shore: "Huh? Brother! Look, there's a big ship coming! That logo... Wow, it's a navy ship!"

warship?

Xia Nuo raised his head in confusion and looked in the direction of the sound.

Sure enough, I saw a warship on the sea in the distance, heading towards the village of Kokoa West.

On the hoisted white sail, in addition to the navy's iconic Libra seagull pattern, there are also two large black characters "16" fluttering in the wind, which is quite conspicuous.
