Pirate Merchant

"Sir, didn't the wine Xiao Zi poured for you taste good?"

During the large banquet held by Kuotan Orochi, Hiyori sat next to 'Makken' and spoke to him softly, and poured wine for him in an elegant manner. The oiran's honor of taking the initiative to pour wine was seen by Kuotan Orochi. It's itchy, but there's nothing you can do about it.

"Wine! No! Food! More!!!"

Although he had changed into Makuken's appearance, his mind was still just that of a child. Luffy and Bonny, who were close together, devoured a whole plate of barbecue in one gulp and yelled in dissatisfaction.

"Hurry! Serve the food quickly!!!"

Mu Qian's sudden and uncharacteristic lack of restraint caused disaster for the chef here. The food that was originally prepared was not enough.

"Sir, what's wrong with you today?"

Hiyori looked at Makuken, who seemed to have changed from a king who ruled the world to a beggar, and asked him in a worried voice.

"It's okay, I'm too hungry"

The Taotie's eyes, which were released by Mu Qian, flashed with greedy red light. In its eyes, the fair-skinned Hiyori in front of it was also a delicacy.

"Sir, you have been working hard for days and haven't eaten yet. Hungry is inevitable. Please serve more food to you!"

Kuang Shilang, who was sitting in the distance, saw the black charcoal snake's expression of doubt. Guessing that the person here was definitely not Mu Qian, he hurriedly raised his glass and loudly defended 'Mu Qian'.

Although she didn't know what Mu Qian was thinking, it was not yet time for him. He would never allow any changes to occur before the day of the decisive battle.

Kuangshilang, who was sitting next to Taotie, probably guessed the situation at this time from Kuangshilang's suggestions, so he settled down and served her with a smile, not caring about her at all, and just kept his head down and ate. Taotie.

"Oh, Mrs. Xiao Zi is so beautiful. Although I envy Mr. Mu for his beauty, I am really afraid of that woman's real side."

"Hahahaha~ Let it go, she won't like you. Compared with Mr. Mu, aren't you also a poor person?"

Amidst the singing and dancing, the warriors sitting together drank wine and chatted happily.

"Brother Kuangshilang, Mrs. Zizi is a woman who came out of your garden. Thank you for being able to tame her!"

When the wine was full, a warrior with a mustache raised his glass and toasted to the Kuangshi Lang.

"Don't talk about geishas like dogs. 'Women are like flowers.' If you don't pour nectar on them, how can they bloom so beautifully?"

Kuangshilang laughed and replied.

And when Kuroshiro and the other samurai were chatting happily, the black charcoal snake suddenly appeared from behind Kuroshiro, with a serious face, but the content of his words made people feel contempt and contempt.

"Ahahaha~ Sorry! I forgot to bring my medicine! I can't stop! Ahahaha~ I also know it's not good to laugh like this! But I still can't help but want to laugh!"

However, just when Black Carbon Orochi spoke in the most serious and impassioned way, the people waiting in the back room couldn't help laughing.

Although the antidote can alleviate the effects of SMLIE, an artificial animal-type devil fruit, it requires taking the medicine regularly. At this time, Toko was just because the medicine was not effective enough and he forgot to bring the medicine, so he still endured it despite his instinct to avoid it. He couldn't help but laugh at the black charcoal snake.

But Toko's ridicule stung the most vulnerable nerves of the black charcoal snake, causing him to draw his samurai sword and walk towards Toko in anger.

"Please stop! She is just a child!!!"

Hiyori stood up and tried to stop the angry black charcoal snake.

"Don't talk, Xiao Zi!"

The black charcoal snake who was said to be the sore point gave Hiyori a sideways threatening glance, and then swung his sword towards the screen where the attendants were waiting. However, his powerful and heavy slash made a dull sound as if it had hit the steel.

"Mr. Mu?! What are you doing?!"

The black charcoal snake looked at 'Mu Qian' in front of him with his face blocking the blade of the sword in shock and anger. His feet were a little weak and he took a few steps back. He looked down at the chipped blade of the long sword in his hand.

What surprised me was that 'Mu Qian' could block the sharp blade with his face. What made him angry was that Mu Qian actually didn't give himself face in front of everyone.

"She is a friend. She gave me glutinous rice dumplings. Be careful to tear them into pieces."

The Taotie stared at the black charcoal snake with scarlet eyes. Although this piece of snake meat was definitely not delicious, it didn't mind tasting the unpalatable ingredients now!

"you you!"

The black charcoal snake was so angry that his eyes turned white. It was just for the glutinous rice dumplings? Is this bastard a brat? !

"Protect General Orochi!!!"

Sensing that something was wrong, Kuang Shilang, who was afraid of attracting the real 'Lord of the Ship', roared angrily and took the lead in pulling out his long sword to block the black charcoal snake. He looked at 'Mu Qian' with a solemn expression and his fighting spirit was high. He protected the black charcoal snake behind him.

"You idiot! Put your sword away quickly! I was accidentally injured by him, the general!"

Seeing Kuangsei Lang drawing his sword and preparing to kill the 'Makuqian' in front of him, although he was very satisfied with Kuangsei Lang's loyalty, the black charcoal snake who was greedy for life and feared death hurriedly grabbed Kuangsei Lang's sleeve and scolded him to put away his weapon and avoid He angered the god of death in front of him, who even Kaido was afraid of!

"Sir, you are no longer welcome at this party. You can leave!"

Kuangshirou, who had his sleeve pulled by the black charcoal snake, put away his katana, and then drove Mu Qian away with a serious face and loudly.

".I haven't had enough."

Taotie drooled from the corner of his mouth, and his scarlet eyes swept over everyone in the room, but when he slowly protruded his fangs from his lips, a petite black-haired girl in a cheongsam appeared on his right shoulder.

"Hey, I'm going back, there are a lot of delicious food when I go back."

Qi Xing, who was arranged by Mu Qian to organize Taotie to go berserk, raised his small hand and tapped on the top of Taotie's head lightly. Although his voice was soft, it instantly woke up Taotie who was about to go berserk.

"Well, go back."

Taotie nodded, then turned around, picked up Huzi and left the banquet venue under Qixing's command.

"In the future! Never let him in the general's banquet!!!"

The embarrassing Heitan Orochi looked at the back of 'Muqian' leaving, and gritted his teeth and scolded the ninjas in charge of the gate.

"Ke Ke, General Orochi, we can't stop Mr. Mu at all, he is too strong"

The ninja who was scolded had a bitter expression, and replied to Heitan Orochi with great guilt.

"Then who told him that the general is having a banquet?!"

The black charcoal snake gritted its teeth and questioned everyone present.

"Yes, I didn't know that he would be so rude to you, the general."

Kuangshilang replied with a dignified expression as Heitan Orochi, and was secretly shocked in his heart by the arrogance exuded by Muqian's subordinates just now, the kind of madness only possessed by beasts made him a little scared, if it wasn't Heitan Orochi who made him If he put away the knife, he would definitely not dare to take the knife in front of that monster.

"Forget it, those who don't know are innocent, don't let him come next time, he has been staring at the general's head, but he is still afraid of Kaido, and he has no chance to attack the general!"

Although Heitan Orochi is timid, he is resentful with self-knowledge, but it's a pity that Kaido is also afraid of that damn bastard, otherwise he would have thought of a way to let Kaido kill Makuken.

"I know."

Kuangshilang replied respectfully, and turned around and retreated very humbly, but when he turned to leave, his face was full of contempt for the black charcoal snake.

"Master, I brought this stupid dog back."

In the house belonging to Shuangyue Kang's family in Caishen Town, Taotie turned into a plane and carried Qixing and Huzi to the yard. As soon as it stopped, Qixing immediately said to Mu Qian who was sitting on the corridor making coffee and staring at the sky in a daze.

"Are you here to save her?"

Mu Qian looked at Huzi, who was holding Taotie in his mouth after Taotie transformed back into its original body, and asked with a smile to the timid one.

"Wooooooh."

Taotie, who was questioned by Mu Qian, gently put down Toko with the kimono in his mouth and dangling in his mouth, knowing that he made a mistake, he lay on the ground with his paws covering his face, as if admitting his mistake.

"It's okay, since it's saving people, it's understandable to make mistakes, but it's changed again."

Mu Qian shook his head to appease the glutton who was afraid of him.

"Master, what bothers you? Is there anything I can do for you?"

Qi Xing, who came to Mu Qian's side in the gap when Tao Tie admitted his mistake, sat sideways on Mu Qian's lap, put his hands around Mu Qian's right arm, and asked him with his small face on Mu Qian's body.

"Annoyed? There are too many upsets, and I can't handle it."

Mu Qian lowered his head and looked at Qixing in his arms, although in the eyes of others, it was a cheongsam loli sitting on his lap and acting like a baby.

But in his eyes, there was a sharp sword standing in front of him, and the blade was pressed against his thigh. If he accidentally moved, the aorta in his leg would burst and spurt blood.

"Is it that thing called Heitan Serpent? My dog ​​and I will bring its head back to you tonight."

Qi Xing, who put her face on Mu Qian's chest, obediently asked Mu Qian, but her words were extremely cold, cruel and domineering.

"No, it doesn't matter whether he dies or not. What matters is his attitude. What I want is Kaido's attitude. It's too easy to kill him, but killing him doesn't make me feel at ease. I've done it more than once. Signaled to Kaido that I want to kill Heitan Orochi, but he has been keeping him."

Mu Qian restrained Qixing's dangerous thoughts. He kept the black charcoal snake not because he was not easy to kill, but because Kaido's attitude was very clear.

As long as Heitan Orochi dies, he will never cooperate with him, and even send pirates to attack his caravan. Although Heitan Orochi is a waste material, it is a useful waste material for Kaido.

"Kaido. I hate him"

Qi Xing pouted and said to Mu Qian unhappily.

She hates anything that is difficult for her to cut, and likes things that can be easily cut by herself, but it is difficult for her to cut a wound. On the contrary, Kaido, who can be injured internally by the dark fruit ability, makes her very unhappy.

"I hate it too, but now I can't do anything about him."

Mu Qian shrugged his shoulders and looked up at the sky, and raised his hand to pat the head of Taotie who came to his side, and restrained it with ice crystals to comfort it that didn't eat enough.

"I can only hope that Luffy and the others will make enough trouble in the future, and I hope that the trick of killing Blackbeard will be effective for Kaido, but even if it solves Kaido's problem, there will be more problems in the future, hey~ Doing business is not easy!"

Mu Qian took a sip of coffee and sighed with a smile. Although it was indeed not easy, it also made him want to challenge these difficulties even more.

"Hey, Mr. Mu, how to use the stove here?! Could it be that the fire is lit on the ground? Are you not afraid of getting hurt while holding the sword?"

Xia Li, wearing an apron, floated out of the room sitting on the lazy bubble, and asked Mu Qian worriedly when she saw Mu Qian sitting in the corridor holding a sharp purple long sword in his arms.

"It won't hurt me. I'll light the fire, but are you sure you can cook? If not, let me cook."

Looking at Qixing in his arms who turned into a long sword due to shyness, Mu Qian pinched the hilt of the sword and held Qixing in his hand. Then he stood up from the corridor and walked into the house with Taotie following him step by step.

"Of course I can do it. Besides, it's just cooking seaweed porridge, it's very simple!"

When she heard that Mu Qian wanted to cook, Xia Li hurriedly patted her chest to prove that she was good at cooking.

"Really? Taotie, you'll be in for a treat later~"

Mu Qian glanced at the Taotie following his feet, and as if seeing a savior, he patted its head and praised it for not finding anything unpalatable.

"Ah~Mr. Mu? Did you arrive early? No, how did you know our meeting place?"

As soon as Mu Qian walked into the inner room, the broken door of the courtyard was pushed open by Usopp, and Vivi, who was following behind, asked Mu Qian in great surprise.

"This is my friend's residence, but Sanji, have you peeked into the women's bathhouse again?"

Mu Qian stopped and turned around to say hello to Weiwei and the others, but after seeing the beaten-up Sanji, Mu Qian couldn't hold back his smile and asked him with a smile.

"No, no, I didn't see anything."

Sanji, who was beaten so badly that even his own sister might not even recognize him, dodges his eyes and replies with fear.

"I said, you are bound to be up to no good when you come here. What on earth do you want to do?"

Seeing Mu Qian's eyes light up, Nami, who had planned to greet Mu Qian happily, thought of Mu Qian's character and immediately asked Mu Qian with great vigilance.

"I just sent Weiwei to see you. You can do whatever you want and don't worry about me. I'm just a driver responsible for seeing people off. If Weiwei wants to go back, I'll send her away immediately."

Mu Qian shrugged and replied innocently.

"Well, Nami, it is true that I let Mr. Mu send me to Wano Country willfully. Moreover, I think that instead of letting Mr. Mu protect me, it would be better for me to be willful and let my companions protect me. ."

Seeing Nami looking like she was going to question Mu Qian about what he wanted to do, Weiwei hurriedly smoothed things over and explained to Nami why Mu Qian came to Wano Country.

"Weiwei-chan~ I will definitely protect you!!!"

Although his cheeks were as big as a piece of cake, Sanji could still promise Weiwei loudly with his eyes turning into pink hearts.

"Well, I will also protect you. After all, I, Usopp, am already GOD Usopp!!"

Usopp, who was believed by Vivi, raised his nose and said to Vivi as if he was the boss here.

"Well, thank you, Mr. Usopp and Mr. Sanji, you are really reliable."

Vivi, who has become mature, smooth and smart in two years, smiled sweetly and said words that made Sanji and Usopp even more proud of themselves.
