Sailing: This Bounce-Bounce Fruit is a little different.

.. ........ ...

Huang Hai's sudden barrage of questions left the short-thinking Yossa momentarily bewildered. After a moment's thought, he replied, "We've only heard rumors that he's a Devil Fruit user; I'm not entirely sure if it's true..."

"All I know is that Ah Long has stayed in the East China Sea ever since he was released and hasn't left again. Nobody knows the exact reason, but perhaps it's because he can't swim?"

"Wait a minute, I have a question..."

Sanji exhaled a puff of white smoke and asked suspiciously, "Didn't you come back halfway? How did you know where Nami and Kaya went?"

"Perhaps to other places in the same direction..."

"That's where they're going..."

While pondering what abilities Arlong might possess, Huang Hai looked up calmly upon hearing this and said, "Because the location of [Arlong Paradise] is also Nami's hometown, [Cocoyasi Village]!"

what? !

Upon hearing Huang Hai's answer, Sanji's pupils immediately contracted.

It seems they've figured out why Miss Nami stole the ship to go back...

"Brother Hai! You even know this?"

Yossa looked at Huang Hai with a mixture of speechlessness and admiration, saying, "You're truly amazing! You're practically omniscient, Brother Hai..."

"Actually, on the way here, Johnny and I both remembered that Nami had been staring at Arlong's wanted poster the whole time, and then, shortly after we mentioned that the Arlong Pirates had recently become active again..."

"Sister Nami took Sister Kaya and the treasure and left by boat, so we concluded that this couldn't be a coincidence. Now that I hear her hometown is Arlong's paradise, I understand..."

"Sister Nami must have made some kind of deal with Arlong! That's why she stole all the treasure, right?" Nine.

Chapter Ninety-Three: How about we charge in?!

This guy is pretty perceptive...

Huang Hai glanced at Yosar with surprise and smiled slightly.

"Alright! No matter how we speculate, it's useless. We'll understand everything when we see Nami."

"Yes, don't worry, Yosar."

Sanji stood up, stretched, and said lazily, "Anyway, eating is the most important thing. Is there anything you guys want to eat?"

As he spoke, Sanji inspected the supplies prepared beside him.

"Spicy Big Meat Stick!"

"Stir-fried soybean sprouts with mung bean sprouts!"

"Yoza! I think you're asking for trouble..."

"Then a large plate of bean sprouts will do..."

"..."

During a casual chat.

Remembering the limitations of his [Talent Absorption] ability, Huang Hai took advantage of this time to have intermittent contact with Sanji...

……

at the same time.

Northwestern part of the East China Sea.

Aaron Park.

huh~~~

Whoops! !

High in the sky, a pirate flag depicting a shark's head fluttered in the wind.

In the courtyard.

"This is '283's' money for this month..."

With his right hand adorned with jewelry, he seemingly generously pushed two black boxes piled high with Baileys in front of a man dressed as a naval officer.

"Take it!"

Squeak hehehehe...

"You really know how to navigate the world, Ah Long..."

Looking at the money in front of him, which seemed to represent power, Captain Rat of the 16th Naval Branch had a satisfied smile on his greedy face.

"Then I won't stand on ceremony..."

Hahaha!

"Why are you still being so polite with me?!"

Seeing this, Ah Long, a burly man with a jagged nose and wearing a beach outfit, flashed a hint of mockery in his eyes, then burst into a loud, feigned laugh.

"A wonderful world is a world where money flows in like water! Money is a good thing! It's the most reliable thing, isn't it?"

"That's right!"

As if in complete agreement, Colonel Rat revealed a lewd smile that resembled that of a rat.

"Money isn't everything, but you can't do without it. In this world, money is the only truth! Pele is king! Hehehe..."

"Hahaha! It's you again, Colonel Rat!"

Ah Long couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"I hate humans, but a reasonable guy or woman like you is a different story..."

Crunch!

The sound of a chair being moved could be heard.

Colonel Rat stood up, grinning maliciously, and said, "Well then, I'll take my leave now that I've finished my business..."

"If a patrol boat is found anchored here, the consequences could be dire..."

"You're always in such a hurry to leave, why don't you have a drink once in a while?"

Seeing this, Ah Long reached out and feigned concern, saying, "Enjoy your time here! If anyone dares to complain to headquarters, I'll kill them!"

"No need, staying any longer will only delay our patrol duties..."

"I'll come back when I'm on vacation..."

Colonel Mouse waved his hand and looked at the swimming pools on both sides of the courtyard.

"You're not planning to let us walk out on our own, are you?"

"Hahaha, of course not..."

Seeing this, Ah Long glared fiercely at the seawater swimming pool.

"Hey! The colonel's heading back! Aren't you going to see him off, Hachi!"

"As ordered!"

Upon receiving the leader's order, it leaped out of the pool like a humanoid octopus, while several large octopus shells floated up as well.

"Get inside the octopus shell!"

Pointing to the octopus shell, the octopus-man Hachi said with a blank expression, "I'll take you out!"

"what…"

Seeing this, Colonel Mouse smiled like a mouse and said, "I'm sorry, I always have to ask you for help!"

"I always find your face funny..."

Seeing the mouse's smile, Xiao Ba's stunned face suddenly broke into a hearty laugh.

"Hahahaha, that rat face...hahahaha..."

"Is it funny?"

Colonel Mouse's expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

"Hey! Hachi..."

Not far away, a hint of mockery flashed in Ah Long's eyes, as if he were rebuking him.

"Watch your words, the colonel is one of our biggest clients!"

"Oh! I see. I'm sorry, Colonel..."

Scratching his head, Xiao Ba seemed a little confused and said, "Please go upstairs, I'll see you out..."

"Excuse me, Colonel Rat!"

Ah Long sighed.

"This guy's just not very bright and has a foul mouth, please forgive him..."

"No...it's okay, squeak squeak squeak!"

With a few men on his back, Colonel Rat waved to Ah Long, but his expression suddenly changed the moment he turned around.
