Chapter 123 The Disappearance of Kemi
Chapter 123 The Disappearance of Kemi
Not long after Luffy and his crew left, a group of menacing bounty hunters stealthily approached the spot where they had just been.
These guys are all fierce and treacherous, and they are determined to take down Luffy and his crew.
However, to their utter surprise, despite their youthful appearance and somewhat reckless behavior, Luffy and his crew possessed strength far exceeding their expectations.
After several exchanges, the group of self-important bounty hunters were all beaten to a pulp and lay on the ground in a sorry state.
After Luffy and his crew had gone far away, one of the bounty hunters, who had not completely fainted, barely opened his eyes and his gaze fell on Camie sitting in the bubble car.
His eyes suddenly lit up, because he realized that this woman was likely a fish-woman. This cute fish-woman girl was undoubtedly a very attractive "commodity" for buyers who were keen on collecting rare species.
If you can catch her and sell her successfully, you're sure to make a fortune.
Meanwhile, Hachi was leading Luffy and his crew toward a bar called "Knock-off Bar".
Xiao Ba took the lead and pushed open the slightly old wooden door.
As the door slowly opened, the scene inside gradually unfolded before everyone's eyes.
Xia Qi was talking to Luo Tian, who was sitting at the bar. When Xia Qi noticed someone entering, she looked up at the door and smiled at Luo Tian.
"Oh dear, it seems the person you're looking for has arrived."
Upon hearing this, Luo Tian turned his head, his gaze first falling on Hachi, then sweeping over Luffy and the others following behind.
In fact, Luo Tian knew perfectly well the purpose of Luffy and his crew's trip.
Looking at Luffy's still somewhat immature face, Luo Tian couldn't help but sigh softly, then turned to Shakky and said:
"It seems Sister Xiaqi has guests. I won't disturb you any longer. If there's anything I can help you with, just let me know."
After saying that, Luo Tian stood up, brushed past Luffy who had just walked in, and left the bar directly.
As soon as Luo Tianyi left, Xia Qi warmly invited Xiao Ba and the others to sit down and chat.
On the other hand, Luffy and his crew acted as if they were at home, casually rummaging through the refrigerator and eating all sorts of food without any hesitation.
At this moment, Xiao Ba and Kemi became very interested in Luo Tian, who had just been chatting happily with Xia Qi, and couldn't help but ask him about his identity.
Xia Qi smiled slightly and said in a relaxed tone.
"He is truly a terrible villain!"
Upon hearing this, Kemi's mouth dropped open in surprise, and she quickly shook her head in rebuttal.
"Huh? No way, he doesn't look like it at all. He seems quite friendly."
Faced with Kemi's questioning, Shakky simply smiled mysteriously and offered no further explanation.
Just then, Shakky noticed the adorable Chopper beside her, and she thoughtfully took one and handed it to him.
Chopper happily accepted it, just about to enjoy it, when he was suddenly shocked by the price Shakky mentioned and almost threw it away—"One hundred thousand Berries!"
However, Shakky quickly reached out and gently patted Chopper's head, comforting him with a smile.
"Haha, don't be scared, little one. I was just joking with you. Eat up!"
Seeing this, Luffy also came over and asked curiously.
"Auntie, how did you know Chopper likes to eat that?"
Xia Qi blinked and answered with a sly smile.
"Because I'm an intelligence broker, I know a bit about your partner."
Then he asked Luffy,
"Is Monkey D. Garp your grandfather?"
Xia Qi smoked a cigarette while looking at Luffy, and learned from Luffy the truth of Luo Tian's words.
"I didn't realize it was really your grandfather. He used to chase me, and that man from earlier was also connected to him."
"Is that man related to my grandfather?"
Luffy asked in confusion as he ate.
Although Luo Tian is Garp's apprentice, he has never met Luffy. Moreover, every time Garp is with Luffy, he only mentions that he has an apprentice, but he never tells Luffy any specific details.
"That's right, he's your grandfather's apprentice."
Shakky smiled and told Luffy the answer.
"Oh, so that means that person is a Marine?"
Brooke responded with some surprise.
Xia Qi spoke slowly,
"That was true before, but not now. His story happened a long time ago, so it's normal that you don't know about it."
Luffy, meanwhile, was eating and didn't care at all about Luo Tian's identity.
"Oh, I see. Then it doesn't matter."
Then, Shakky spoke to Luffy and his crew with a solemn expression.
"This island is not peaceful these days! Many ruthless characters with bounties exceeding 100 million Berries have gathered here, but right now, they should all be busy with their own things, so they haven't come looking for you."
Shakky then explained the details of those people to Luffy and the others, and specifically reminded them to be careful so as not to attract the attention of the Navy and cause themselves unnecessary trouble.
After all, Shakky was more optimistic about Luffy and his crew in the battle among these supernovas, but now that Luo Tian, who had been missing for a long time, had suddenly reappeared, it was hard for Shakky to make a conclusion.
If some foolish supernova were to provoke Luo Tian and his group again, he would probably have no chance of winning the battle for supremacy in the new world.
After hearing this, Luffy grinned, patted his chest to promise to be careful, then waved goodbye to his crew and embarked on his journey to find the craftsman.
However, no one noticed that when Shakky was giving this information, she deliberately concealed the news about Luo Tian's group and did not tell Luffy and his crew about Luo Tian's group, who had an excessive bounty.
Following the clues provided by Shakky, Luffy and his crew quickly arrived at Sabaody Park.
The area is shaded by green trees, blooms with flowers, and features a variety of novel and interesting amusement facilities, which immediately attracted everyone's attention.
Luffy was as excited as a child, dragging everyone around to play and have fun, completely forgetting about finding the craftsman uncle.
After playing around, Kemi rested alone on a bench.
A group of human traffickers, who had been secretly watching Luffy and his crew, seized the opportunity when they saw Camie alone and quietly kidnapped her.
Poor Kemi disappeared into the crowd before she could even cry for help.
Luffy and his crew were completely unaware of this.
