Pirate Merchant

In the corridor of the bridge, Taotie was wagging his tail, dripping with his head and eating as he walked in the direction of the various delicacies on display, not caring whether the food was a trap or not.

After lowering his head and being lured by the food to a room with an open door, Taotie followed the guidance of the food and entered the room without raising his head.

"Hey, silly dog, long time no see. Do you miss me, sister?"

After Taotie entered the room, the door slammed shut with a heavy bang, and then Nami, who was standing on the right side of the door, asked Taotie with a gentle smile like a goddess who loved the world.

"Woo"

As soon as she saw Nami, Taotie's raised tail immediately curled up. It was obvious that Nami had left some psychological shadow on her.

"Haha, sister, I miss you very much. Silly dog, how about doing a little favor for sister? After the event is completed, sister will return and prepare various delicacies made by Sanji for you as reward."

Seeing that Taotie was afraid of her, Nami squatted down. When Taotie turned to look at Reijiu, she held Taotie's big head in her hands and forced it back to face her.

"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"

Taotie felt weak at this moment. Every time this woman asked for something, it would never be a good thing, so he shook his head and wanted to refuse.

"Did you agree? Very good, Reiju~ I asked Nokigao to take that man away for two days. We must hurry up during these two days!"

Nami completely ignored Taotie's refusal. As it shook its head, she tied up Taotie with a collar and rope obtained from unknown sources.

"We still need some preparations to prepare the best toxin. Let's split up."

Reiju nodded in agreement with Nami's words and expressed her proposal.

"Okay! Sanji, Usopp and I are going to buy the materials for the fuel rod formula! We should seize the time and try to make twenty-four fuel rods in one day! As long as the quantity is enough to meet the full-load flight for one year! We will The task is not difficult!”

Nami pulled the collar around Taotie's neck tightly, and Taotie, who had long been accustomed to it, followed Nami and scampered towards the deck area.

"Let's buy some armored scorpionfish first."

Reiju, who was looking forward to making the perfect poison, left the room with great interest, but she walked in the other direction that Nami left.

"Boss, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji of the Straw Hats are taking Taotie to the deck area to purchase materials for making energy bars. Do you need me to stop them?"

In the open-air cafe of the Water City, Mu Qian was leisurely enjoying the performance of the street band, while the phone bug in front of him, Otonashi Owl, was typing a small report to him at a somewhat fast speed.

"No, let them do whatever they want. As long as they don't cause trouble, I'll tell you why that bastard Taotie left quietly before. It turned out that he was called away by his favorite sister Nuoqi Gao."

Mu Qian raised his head and looked at Nokigao who was shopping with Brynn and Kalifa. He always knew why Taotie left the office with his tail between his legs and a sneaky look with a guilty conscience.

"Understood, then I will continue to supervise them! I wish you a happy date with Sister Kalifa!"

Otonashi Owl laughed strangely and teased Makaki, then hung up the phone and continued to spy on Nami, Usopp and Sanji.

"It's so peaceful~yo~Brother Bingshan, you are finally here? How is the progress of the mothership?"

Mu Qian, who was sitting on the chair, stretched out a lot, and then asked Bingshan who came over with his little Loli secretary.

"You have finished building the hull, and the interior decoration is just a small matter. It will be delivered for use in two days. Isn't everyone just holding a carnival for the launching ceremony of the mothership?"

Bingshan sat on the seat opposite Mu Qian, and his little loli secretary obediently sat beside him, looking at Mu Qian with admiration in her eyes.

"Did you experience any rejection after I installed the rudder on your boat? Or was it a feeling of disgust?"

After asking the waiter to bring him a cup of coffee and milk tea, Mu Qian took the initiative to talk to Bingshan about the business.

"No, it likes that position very much and wants to drive the mothership out of the port quickly."

Bingshan replied to Muqian with a solemn expression.

"The progress of the mothership is normal. However, there is a problem with the drive system of the Water City. The boiler is always burned out during the voyage. I suspect that it is the CP9 sent by the World Government."

After a few words of greeting, Bingshan explained the reason why he took the initiative to come to Mu Qian. If Mu Qian did not come to Water Capital today, he would go to the mothership to find him this afternoon.

"Not necessarily. The CP9 trained by the World Government is not enough to keep an eye on me. But I don't have time to destroy your boilers. The fact that the Water City can move on the sea is nothing compared to a mothership flying in the sky. ."

Mu Qian shook his head and denied Bingshan's speculation. After all, the Water City had been transformed into a mobile city on the sea a year ago. If they wanted to destroy it, they would not start it after a year, but before it was completed. The destruction started before.

"Is the material of the boiler okay?"

After thinking for a while, Muqian tentatively asked Bingshan.

"No problem, all the materials are of the highest quality, and the insulation layer is also the best material. If there is a problem with the materials, then your Lucky Chamber of Commerce will compensate me ten times."

Bingshan's joking about enjoying the hardships aroused Mu Qian.

"Did you buy the materials from our chamber of commerce? It doesn't seem to be a problem with the materials. Didn't the monitoring equipment send out an alarm before there was a burning problem?"

Since it is not a material problem, it is a bit troublesome to find out the reason.

"There is no overheating alarm. All the boilers were burned through when the dashboard was normal. We also checked the wiring of the dashboard and it was not damaged. Therefore, apart from man-made damage, I can't think of another reason."

Bingshan sighed and said to Mu Qian distressedly.

"If it's man-made damage, then the culprit will definitely be found. I'll call Saka later and ask him to bring someone over to check it. If I can't find the problem, how about I come to find the problem?"

Mu Qian frowned and asked Bingshan.

"Well, that's the only way to go. If you were the one to check at the beginning, I think the criminals will be scared and hide. You should use it as a last resort."

Bingshan picked up the coffee that was put on the table by the waiter, and then raised his head to drink, but when he raised the coffee cup, the coffee in his cup was gone.

"Coffee is poisonous. It seems that someone is indeed trying to kill you, Umit, the shipping king? Kibson, the warehousing boss? Or Piecolo, the big-handed undertaker? Or all of them?"

Mu Qian, whose eyes were slightly red, sneered, since the other party wanted to kill Bingshan with poison in front of him, it meant that they did not intend to 'peace talk'.

"...how did you know coffee was poisonous?"

Bingshan put down the coffee cup in his hand, and asked Mu Qian with a dark face and an extremely ugly expression.

"The change in temperature, the original coffee will be served and the guests will adjust the sweetness, but the lower temperature of your cup of coffee proves that it has been stirred with a spoon, and, even if this cup of coffee is not poisonous, you can There is nothing to lose, isn't it? What's more, this cup of coffee is really poisonous."

Mu Qian pretended to be profound and replied to Bingshan.

"In the end, you're not sure if this cup of coffee is poisonous? Did it blow up a big fish?"

Bingshan raised his hand to cover his forehead and complained speechlessly at Mu Qian who relied on luck to blackmail others.

"It exploded, Momo has already followed, wait for a while, he is not the only one in the capital of water, it will take time to catch bigger fish, after all, I can't just rely on guesswork to blame Those camels that were about to starve to death."

Mu Qian sighed deeply, he was so busy every day, no matter what he did, he would find countless troubles, and it was extremely difficult to take a rest regardless of everything if he wanted to be at ease.

"I can't figure it out, how dare they poison me in front of you? Are they so rampant?"

Bingshan put down the empty coffee cup in his hand, completely unable to understand what the killer was thinking.

"The most dangerous place is always the safest place. Besides, you died in front of me, but killing you, framing me and grabbing the territory killed three birds with one stone. They were betting that I would not be able to detect the poisoning. , even if the success rate is only 1%, they are willing to do it, typical businessman thinking."

Although he guessed who would want Bingshan to die, Mu Qian didn't have any evidence to prove that the other party was the murderer, so he could only follow the clues to find out who was behind the scenes.

"Okay, then I'll go back first, the most important thing now is not who wants to kill me, but to find out who and what method was used to destroy the boiler, our current position is very dangerous, the gods of water will be here Show up in three days, so we need to fix the boiler and get out of here before then."

Bingshan stood up and explained the seriousness of the problem to Mu Qian with a serious expression.

"If I am here, even if there is no transition, I can make this city leave under the influence of the undercurrent. In the worst case, I can also make the gods of water disappear without a trace."

Mu Qian nodded to show that he knew the seriousness of the problem, but he told Bingshan his solution.

"Let the gods of water disappear without a trace, I've been so nervous these days, I've already forgotten that you are a monster more terrifying than the gods of water."

Bingshan shrugged mockingly at himself, and then left here with the little secretary.

"Is the new CP9 trying to kill the iceberg?"

After watching Bingshan leave, Mu Qian took a sip of coffee and asked Lu Qi behind him who reminded himself that Bingshan coffee is poisonous.

"As you said, even CP0 has been dispatched to monitor you in every city you frequent. Do you think that group of useless CP9s still have the time or strength to kill the iceberg?"

Lu Qi, who was wearing a white suit and covered his face with a newspaper, pretending to be reading a newspaper, replied with a sneer.

"Then do you have any information about this matter?"

Mu Qian continued to ask Lu Qi who was 'monitoring' him.

"No, all our energy is on you now, and we have no time to take care of other things."

Lu Qi replied after turning over the next page of the newspaper.

"However, I have a piece of information that the Kingdom of Alabasta is facing private production of prohibited drugs. If this matter is confirmed, then the World Government has the right to 'rebuild' the Kingdom of Alabasta."

Lu Qi lowered his voice and told Mu Qian some information he knew so far.

"This matter will not be settled. I will let Jiu'er handle this matter properly."

Mu Qian frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, could this be the pirate version of the laundry incident?

"Are you still using that 'thing' with a bad personality? Be careful not to be backlashed by her."

Lu Qi trembled when he heard Jiu'er's name, and when he realized that he had lost his composure, he was extremely dissatisfied with his performance and warned Mu Qian in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter, she is very easy to use, and as long as I am better than her, as long as I am not charmed by her, then I will be absolutely safe. Compared with her, your bosses are more terrifying."

Mu Qian put down the empty coffee cup in his hand, then stood up and left.

After he left, Lu Qi also folded the newspaper in his hand, and walked in the opposite direction where Mu Qian left.

"What are you muttering about? That leopard man must have come to tell you some 'bad' things?"

Nuo Qigao, who was choosing clothes for Brin and Kalifa in a clothing store, walked up to Mu Qian who walked into the store, and asked Mu Qian annoyedly, implying that Mu Qian was about to leave.

"No, he came to tell me that Weiwei's country may encounter some small troubles, but the small troubles haven't started yet, so they can be eliminated in advance."

Mu Qian looked at Kalifa, who was standing in front of the mirror, wearing a black slim suit and wrapping skirt, her legs were wrapped in black silk, and her figure was particularly hot, silently applauding her charming dress in her heart .

"Wh-how is it? Nuo Qigao said that I am suitable for wearing a dress or something"

Brin, who heard Mu Qian's voice, opened the curtain of the dressing room, and she asked Mu Qian nervously in a cute white dress.

"Well, it's great, the most perfect tap, it hurts. Why do you all like to twist people's waists?"

Mu Qian praised Brin with a thumbs up, but before he could finish, he was interrupted by Nuo Qigao, who pinched his waist.

"Tell the truth!"

Nuo Qigao stared at Mu Qian viciously and ordered him.

"Ahem, it's a little bit out of place. The main reason is that you don't like this outfit very much, Brennet, do you? Choose and wear the clothes you like. It doesn't matter whether the clothes are cute or not, as long as you like them."

Mu Qian looked at Nuo Qigao full of resentment, and euphemistically stated his evaluation of Brin's clothes.

"The clothes you like?"

Brin couldn't help looking at the handsome suit on Kalifa's body. Although she didn't like work clothes like suits, she wanted to try a style that she had never had the opportunity and courage to try before.

"Go and choose. You have to try everything before you know whether you like it or not. Don't care about other people's opinions."

Mu Qian patted Nuo Qigao's hand on his waist, then smiled and said to Brin who was a little moved.

"Can you still speak human language? I thought you would only be stupid when you told the truth. Isn't that very good?"

Looking at Brin who was going to pick out clothes, Nuoqi Gao loosened the soft flesh on Muqian's waist, and teased Muqian with a smile, although she knew that this was definitely not Muqian's "true words", this guy's sincerity The words are definitely 'whatever, let's go eat? ’, but she did not reveal this little secret of Po Muqian.
