Chapter 584
Chen Fan blinked and said, "Um... I think I just heard something really big. When did you two join in? Nami and I are in one group, and you and Zoro are in another. We're two separate groups, not together."
"But I've already decided that Nami will be our navigator," Luffy said.
"What decision do you have? Nami is my woman! Mine! Only I can decide her affairs! Your... decision... is completely invalid." Chen Fan pointed at Luffy and said;
"Bang!" Chen Fan punched Nami on the head, and Nami blushed as she said, "What are you talking about? Who... who is your woman!"
Chen Fan also vaguely remembered the girl that Usopp had mentioned. He invited her to join his fleet, but Chen Fan shook his head. Forget it, not everyone is suited to sailing the seas. For such a delicate girl, facing the violence and bloodshed of adventure would be too cruel.
However, Captain Kuro must be dealt with. Anyone who tries to harm a woman is guilty, as clearly stated in Chen Fan's first rule of manhood.
"Time's up!" Usopp suddenly said, and then left.
Chen Fan remembered that he seemed to have gone to that young lady to tell her the story, but after experiencing so much today, Chen Fan was a bit tired, so he decided to rest in this village tonight;
Soon the three children arrived and led Chen Fan and the others to the mansion. Chen Fan also saw Kaya, a beautiful and delicate girl who evoked feelings of pity and tenderness at first glance, making one want to hold her in their arms and protect her.
However, Chen Fan didn't feel any attraction. Moreover, Chen Fan could see that there were no other thoughts in Kaya's eyes. Chen Fan smiled and shook his head. Was it just that their fate hadn't arrived, or were they simply not meant to be?
"Hello! If possible, I hope you can sell us a larger ship. Don't worry about the money," Chen Fan said with a smile as he approached Kaya.
"Sigh...! A big ship?" Kaya was taken aback by Chen Fan's words. She didn't know much about her own family, and everything was handled by the butler Klahadore.
Suddenly, a voice rang out, "Is it you again, Usopp? I often hear the gate guards say that you're frequently seen around here. What brings you here?" A man in a black suit and glasses walked over; it was none other than Captain Kuro, the former captain of the Black Cat Pirates.
"Um... I saw one..." The Usopp just about to make up a lie;
Kuro Teuchi, saying, "That's enough! You don't need to say anything more. I know you, the son of a despicable pirate. I won't interfere with what you do, but please don't get close to our young lady."
"Despicable!..." Usopp's face turned somewhat ugly;
"You and our young lady are from completely different worlds. You want money, right? Name your price!" Kuro said.
Everyone's expression changed upon hearing Kuro's words.
"Klahadore!! You've gone too far!! Apologize to Usopp right now!!" Kaya shouted angrily at Kuro;
"Is it necessary to apologize to such a barbarian? I was just stating the facts. You must hate him, the one who abandoned..."
"One hundred million Beli!" Chen Fan suddenly interrupted Kuro.
Everyone was taken aback and turned their gaze towards the source of the sound, where they saw Chen Fan standing with a smile.
Captain Kuro adjusted his glasses with his palm and asked, "And who are you?"
"Me? Just a passerby. I only came to check because I heard a dog barking. It wouldn't be good if someone got hurt!" Chen Fan said with a smile, holding up one finger. "One hundred million Beli. You can make this person disappear from this world if you want."
"Chen Fan!" Everyone stared at Chen Fan in astonishment;
"What a joke! Why would I offer 100 million Beli..." Kuro said, looking at Chen Fan.
Chen Fan shrugged, spread his hands, and smiled as he interrupted Kuro, saying, "If you can't afford the price, don't make such grand pronouncements. It's boring, isn't it? There are two kinds of pirates: those who yearn for freedom, adventure, and treasure, and those who only know how to burn, kill, and plunder. Of course, I have absolutely no good opinion of Usopp's father, and I even despise him in my heart. But... what right do you have to say that? Kuro's ship... uh, isn't it Kuro? Whatever it is doesn't matter."
Captain Kuro narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of murderous intent flashing within them. He felt that Chen Fan was extremely difficult to deal with; Chen Fan gave any intelligent person the impression of being unapproachable. Moreover, Chen Fan had just called out his original name—a coincidence? No, not necessarily. Regardless, he was determined to kill Chen Fan; he wanted to nip any danger in the bud.
"Alright! Looks like we can't buy the boat after all. Let's go." Chen Fan shrugged and said with a smile, then led the way outside. The others followed. Seeing the expression on Kuro's face, Chen Fan knew that the guy had taken the bait.
