Chapter 570
"Ah...! Sorry! I missed!" Chen Fan waved his hand and said;
"You're going to kill me! You're definitely going to kill me!" Zoro shouted at Chen Fan, still trembling slightly.
"That's not true! You're overthinking it!" Chen Fan said, looking in other directions without expression.
"Don't pretend you're expressionless just because you're not thinking, you bastard!"
"Sigh... do you know what I'm thinking?" Chen Fan said with a surprised expression;
"I don't have time to care what you're thinking!! You bastard!!" Zoro the Roar angrily at Chen Fan;
"Oh my god! I thought you already knew! Phew..."
"Hey! You just breathed a sigh of relief, didn't you! You absolutely, absolutely wanted to kill me, right!"
"What are you saying, you chatterbox! She's your savior...!"
"It's Zoro!"
After a satisfying meal Zoro patted his belly and said contentedly, "Haha... I'm so full! Nine days without food is definitely my limit!"
"Yeah! I'm so full!" Luffy said, rubbing his belly.
"Why do you eat more than me?!" Zoro said with a defeated expression.
With a toothpick dangling from his mouth and a look of disdain, Chen Fan said, "You two bastards actually came to scrape together a meal; you must be broke."
"It's alright, you are the heroes who saved the town!" Rika's mother said;
"A hero who doesn't pay for his meal is no good, clatter...!" Chen Fan took out 200,000 Beli and placed them on the table. Too much would attract the attention of bad guys; this was exactly half of Chen Fan's current assets.
Rika's mother's face changed, and she quickly said, "This won't do!" She then tried to return the money to Chen Fan.
"Please accept this; consider it a small token of my appreciation," Chen Fan said with a smile.
Rika came to Chen Fan's side and said, "Brother Chen Fan, you're so amazing! Rika wants to be as amazing as you too."
Upon hearing Rika's words, Chen Fan seemed shy as he touched his hair and laughed, saying, "I'm very happy to hear Rika say that, and I'm a little shy too." Everyone chuckled softly at Chen Fan's words.
Chen Fan patted Rika's head and said with a smile, "It's okay, Rika. Even if you're not strong enough, your Brother Chen Fan will become the strongest person in the world. If anyone bullies you in the future, just mentioning my name will make them tremble with fear and never dare to show their faces in front of you again."
"Hmm...!" Rika nodded, and a smile appeared on Chen Fan's lips;
"Bang..." Suddenly, the door opened, and a group of marines stood in neat rows outside. One of them walked in, saluted Chen Fan, and said, "Mr. Chen Fan, thank you for saving our town. However, as pirates, you and your companions cannot stay in this town. Please leave as soon as possible!"
Chen Fan scratched his head and said, "Oh dear! I forgot I've become a pirate. I could have cleared things up, but after hitting Navy Colonel, it'll be too much trouble. Oh well, pirate it is. I've been a good guy for several lifetimes, so let's just leave it at that this time."
"Is Brother Chen Fan leaving? Rika doesn't want to leave you." Rika said, tears welling up in her eyes, as she held Chen Fan's hand.
Chen Fan smiled and patted Rika's hair, saying, "Then you'd better grow up quickly. Your Brother Chen Fan doesn't have a girlfriend yet. When you become a great beauty, your Brother Chen Fan will take you with him."
"Yes, it's a promise. Rika will become Brother Chen Fan's bride when she grows up," Rika suddenly said, holding up her little finger.
Chen Fan paused for a moment, looked up and around. The others shrugged indifferently, while Rika's mother smiled. Chen Fan smiled wryly and hooked his little finger with Rika's...
Then the townspeople all came to the harbor to see Chen Fan and his group off. "Salute!!" a naval officer shouted, and "Bang!" all the sailors saluted Chen Fan and his group.
