One Piece: Mandala Swordsman

Chapter 540 You can call me A-Long

That's truly a unique and incredibly luxurious way to eat!

Ah He sighed as he washed the fruit.

They actually managed to produce such a large bag of fruit.

These things aren't cheap.

Apart from Huadu, food is almost no longer sold openly.

If you want to buy so many things, you can only go to Huadu.

However, prices in Huadu are now shockingly high.

At the same time, the protection level of the grain warehouse is also very high.

Ordinary people can only look on with envy.

And she was even able to buy white sugar?

This is a very rare item.

He clearly said he was a manual laborer...

But even if someone is born with superhuman strength, it's impossible to earn that much money just by doing this.

Nowadays, the value of manual labor is extremely exploited.

and……

Ah He then looked at the large bag of fruit next to him.

I said I didn't bring any money, and asked if I could use this as payment for the meal if I didn't mind.

To be honest, when Ah He heard this, his mind went completely blank.

The fruit is hers.

The sugar is hers.

The milk is hers.

I simply followed her instructions to complete the production.

How could such a small labor fee be enough to receive so much fruit as payment?

You should know that food is more precious than money in villages like this.

"Are you really not a geisha?"

Ah He asked another question.

They also brought out the fruit.

She used the finest white porcelain.

"Thank you, but I'm not."

The geisha of Wano Country are different from the women of the entertainment districts that are known outside.

Wano Country has been closed off from the world for many years.

It has its own unique culture.

It is quite different from the entertainment industry represented by Stussy.

Geisha is a traditional profession for women that involves singing, dancing, music, and playing musical instruments.

Simply put, she is a woman who performs in the performing arts in Wano Country.

Although many of the women in the entertainment district are also skilled in singing and dancing.

But that's just icing on the cake.

That's not their main job.

Geishas, ​​on the other hand, are the opposite.

Their singing, dancing, and musical instrument skills must be excellent.

It's not enough to just have a slim figure and a pretty face to qualify.

Only women who meet the requirements in terms of temperament, talent, and physique are eligible.

Therefore, in Wano Country, being a geisha is a very popular job.

The cheers that rang out when the courtesan Komurasaki went on an outing demonstrate that geishas held a relatively high social status.

Even wealthy merchants and noble families cannot be met at will.

Of course, this was also the case with freelance work in the past.

Some geisha were forced to work because they were in debt.

They need to be redeemed.

This situation became increasingly serious after Orochi came to power.

This has led to the distortion of the geisha profession.

Ah He also thought of this.

"It's better not to be. Being a geisha isn't a lucky thing these days."

"but……"

"By the way, could you do me a favor? Although I don't have much money, I'm willing to give you as much fruit as you need."

Roman bowed to Ah He.

"Ah! You flatter me."

Ahe was a little flustered by Roman's seriousness.

If she had encountered something like this before, she probably would have been so surprised and conflicted that she would have been speechless for a long time.

But that was in the past.

Life these days is hard to endure without being a little thick-skinned.

Have you heard any rumors about food being stolen in town?

"This can't be considered a legend; these kinds of things happen all the time."

Stealing food is a common occurrence in Wano Country these days.

However, although it is common, thieves must pay the price.

You should know that stealing food is a serious crime in Wano Country these days.

"No, what I mean is, have you heard of the situation where food supplies are dwindling but the criminals haven't been caught yet?"

"Ah, this... I have indeed heard of it!"

There are indeed rumors circulating in the town.

There's clearly less food.

But they never caught the criminal.

She didn't take any of this to heart.

"If it's convenient, could you please help me find out?"

"It's possible, but..."

"Oh, I'm sorry, I was rude, I should say I was abrupt."

The girl in front of him seemed to suddenly realize something and apologized with a smile.

"I think I should introduce myself."

Roman looked at Ah He and smiled brightly.

"You can also call me Ah Long."
