"Hahahaha, I thought it was something serious. No problem, put it on my tab.
But I won't do this for nothing. Doc, you've got to buy me a drink."
In Roger's eyes, this barely counted as trouble.
The bounty on his head was already high enough. Across the entire sea, let alone people with bounties higher than Roger's, there were only a handful whose bounties came close to his.
Roger was the very picture of someone who had so much debt that a little more made no difference. Forget tearing down an auction house—even blowing up a Marine branch would probably make little difference.
Of course, if he really blew up a Marine base, then even for the sake of appearances, the Marines would have to respond at any cost.
Perhaps, in Roger's eyes, none of that was as important as a good bottle of liquor.
"That request is easy enough to handle. I happen to have a bottle of Explosion Wine here. Want to try it?"
Oran reached into the inner pocket of his coat and pulled out a bottle of wine. As a Book-Book Fruit Ability User, it was only natural for him to carry storage books with him.
Although Oran did not drink, that did not stop him from selling alcohol. Back on Valoran, this wine had been an important commodity for opening up trade routes through Freljord.
That place was frozen year-round, and strong liquor had always been in high demand. The Explosion Wine Oran mentioned was brewed from a special fruit.
Besides the Honey Devil Fruit used for making potions and the Searchlight Devil Fruit used to locate hidden devices, the seeds he carried also included those of the Explosion Ball Fruit.
Like the first two, it was a special fruit that grew on Valoran.
