Alabasta: Princess Vivi Lets Her Imagination Run Wild / Alabasta: A Ruthless Bounty Hunter...
When he saw that Lin Mo was here, he looked like he had known it for a long time and stopped him. "I just said, why are you so rude during the day? It turns out that you and that guy have colluded to kidnap Princess Vivi!"
The guy he was talking about was the man in black who was kicked off his calf by Lin Mo and was still rolling on the ground.
"No, Igaram, I was saved by, that, Lin Mo." Vivi quickly explained.
"Eh? Really?" Igaram said in shock, "Didn't Pell defeat that man in black?"
Pell shook his head and said, "It's not me..."
"Huh?" Igaram was shocked again, "But this kid only looks a few years older than Princess Vivi. How can he beat an adult?"
"He can." Pell said with a slight smile. "Although I have not witnessed it with my own eyes, many people have seen that he drove away a group of Desert Thieves who could easily injure the guards."
Chapter 83 Alabasta: Random thoughts Princess Vivi
"Huh? Just him? A kid with thin arms and thin legs, can he chase away a group of Desert Thieves?" Igaram looked at Lin Mo who had already passed by him with deep suspicion. No matter how he looked at it, he couldn't tell that this impolite and arrogant kid had the temperament of a master.
Lin Mo was too lazy to pay attention to him and continued walking towards the hotel without looking back.
Igaram curled his lips and said, "Pell, have you misjudged the person?"
"No." Pell looked at the back of Lin Mo and affirmed, "He was right. Everyone in the pub saw it at that time. I believe the people of Alabasta would not lie to me."
Vivi looked at Pell with bright eyes and said excitedly, "Pell, do you know how he drove away those Desert Thieves?"
Pell nodded and continued, "The people in the tavern said at that time that Lin Mo could dodge all the bullets of Desert Thieves. He was slashed by a knife and the knife broke, but he didn't do anything at all. Moreover, he smashed the weapon of the Desert Thieves leader with his bare hands."
"Wow, really? Lin Mo is so awesome!" Vivi said excitedly, "Although Lin Mo seems to be very indifferent to people, he is actually a cold-hearted person on the outside, otherwise he would not have driven away those Desert Thieves who do all kinds of evil, nor would he come to rescue me when he saw me being kidnapped."
"That's right." Pell nodded, "I think so too."
"Yeah, right!" Vivi bared his teeth and said with a smile, "You may look just a few years older than me, but you didn't expect to be so strong. In short, Lin Mo not only saved me, but also saved Alabasta's people. He is a hero, how can we treat heroes badly? Pell, Igaram, I would like to invite Lin Mo to the Royal Palace as a guest and treat him well, what do you think?"
"I think it's okay." Pell smiled.
Igaram originally disagreed, but seeing Vivi looking so excited and looking forward to it, he thought about it and compromised, "Although I don't like that brat's arrogant and arrogant character, he saved Princess Vivi after all, so... okay."
"Great!" Vivi said happily, "Then I will invite him now."
After finishing speaking, Vivi was about to chase in the direction Lin Mo was walking.
Igaram immediately grabbed Vivi: "Princess Vivi, it's so late, and His Majesty the King is still looking for you anxiously. I think it's better to go back to the Royal Palace first, and let Pell invite you."
Pell: "..."
Vivi pouted and muttered, "Pell has no sincerity at all if he goes. It's most appropriate for me to go. Why don't you let Pell accompany me? Igaram you go back first to make sure my father and I are safe."
"Huh?" Igaram was greatly shocked, "Princess Vivi why didn't I accompany you? Isn't it the same as asking Pell to go back and report that you are safe?"
"Because Pell has already met Lin Mo once." Vivi smiled, "Besides, Igaram, don't you hate Lin Mo? I don't think Lin Mo likes you very much. If you go with me, it will probably have the opposite effect, so it's best for Pell to accompany me. As for my father, I'll leave it to you, Igaram."
After saying that, Vivi pulled Pell and ran after Lin Mo.
Igaram was stunned on the spot, then turned around and burst into tears. "So it turns out that my presence will have a counterproductive effect? Princess Vivi, what you said is too much..."
Lin Mo walked in silence on the way back to the hotel.
Not long after I left, the system notification suddenly sounded in my mind.
'Didi! Get Princess Vivi's favor, sign in progress +20%, current total progress is 70%, reward Flash Step level +1, current Flash Step level is Lv4.'
Feel your body become lighter.
Lin Mo couldn't help but pause slightly.
I was speechless for a while.
Gain the favor of Vivi?
What did he do?
Wasn't that a successful hero's rescue of the beauty just now?
But why wasn't Weiwei's favorability directly triggered at that time?
Therefore, it must be the guy who ate Zoan Bird-Bird Fruit·Falcon Form, the Pell called "Falcon", who told Vivi about his previous deeds in that Small Town...
All in all, the result was pretty good, and his rescue of Vivi was not in vain.
Without thinking any more, Lin Mo continued walking forward.
Likewise, Vivi and Pell chased after him not long after he left.
"Lin Mo, wait a minute." Vivi trotted directly in front of Lin Mo, blocking Lin Mo's way.
Lin Mo stopped speechlessly.
Vivi smiled and said, "Thank you for saving the people of Alabasta, and thank you for saving me. Therefore, I would like to invite you to the Royal Palace and treat you well."
"No need." Lin Mo refused directly, then bypassed Vivi and continued walking towards the hotel.
After being stunned, Vivi looked at Lin Mo's back unhappily and asked, "Pell, does he hate me?"
"I don't think so." Pell replied, "His character is like this. When I asked him questions in the tavern, he didn't say a word. It was his companion, a man with red hair, who answered me."
"A man with red hair?" Vivi was stunned for a moment and continued, "But during the day, I only saw him with Camel alone, and I didn't see any red-haired man."
Suddenly a possibility came to mind, and Vivi quickly asked, "Pell, how long ago did you meet Lin Mo and his companions?"
Pell thought for a while and replied, "About twenty days ago."
Vivi continued to ask, "Is that Small Town far from Alubarna?"
"If you ride Camel, it will take about ten to fifteen days to come directly."
"Ah, then my guess must be correct." Vivi's face froze, "If Alubarna can be reached in fifteen days at the latest, it took him twenty days to arrive. What happened in the extra five days?"
Pell said in surprise, "Princess Vivi, you mean, Lin Mo's companion might have been killed in the extra five days?"
Vivi nodded seriously. "Yes, we all know the geographical situation of Alabasta. Even locals walking in the vast desert cannot guarantee that they can reach the next completely safely. Town, let alone an outsider... Therefore, the red-haired friend Lin Mo you mentioned must have been killed, and Lin Mo must be feeling very uncomfortable now, so he ignored us and wished that we would not get close to him."
Pell was silent for a moment, although I wanted to say that maybe Princess Vivi you were overthinking it, because the possibility of what Vivi said would happen was very slim. But after thinking about it, I still felt that it would be better not to attack Vivi now, so I nodded and said, "Maybe that's really the case."
"Yeah, I knew that was the case." Vivi looked at Lin Mo, who had already walked away, and said with a fist, "I have decided, I want to influence him and let him get out of the shadow of the death of his companions as soon as possible!"
Chapter 84 Alabasta: The killing Bounty Hunter
Lin Mo didn't know that Vivi had decided to help him get out of the shadow of his companion's death.
He didn't even know when he had a companion...
Red-Hair, and even Zoro, Sanji and Chopper can only be regarded as ordinary friends he met through those islands, and cannot be regarded as companions.
At the same time, on board Red Hair Pirates.
Red-Hair is happily hosting a banquet on the ship with his Crew Members.
Suddenly, he sneezed unexpectedly.
"Hahaha, boss, you are so weak, you actually caught a cold."
"Boss, your health is not good. I think you should drink more snake wine to replenish your health."
"That's right, snake wine is a good thing. I'll ask Lin Mo kid to give you some more when I get the chance later, hahaha..."
Crew Member people all teased Red-Hair.
Red-Hair rubbed his nose disapprovingly, bared his teeth and said with a smile, "What cold? Someone must be thinking about me, maybe it's that guy Lin Mo who is thinking about me, hahaha... Come on, kids, keep drinking!"
After Lin Mo returned to the hotel, he drank all the wine in Wine Gourd. Feeling that it was not enough, he took out two bottles of wine bought on other islands from System Space, and drank them all before going to bed.
The next day.
Lin Mo woke up early in the morning.
The morning market at Alubarna is also very lively.
Lin Mo randomly found a breakfast restaurant, ordered a bowl of noodles, and was eating.
At the next table, a man wearing Mask and wearing ordinary clothes turned his back to him and threw a round sack on the table.
Sitting opposite him was a very fat, middle-aged man wearing a rich suit and an orange round hat.
When the middle-aged man saw that Mask man was so rude and threw the 'thing' on the table, he immediately picked up the sack, opened it and took a look at the goods inside. After making sure that there was no problem, he said angrily, "Don't you know how precious this thing is? What if you smash it? I won't spend a lot of money to buy a defective product!"
Mask Man chuckled and said, "This thing is not that easy to break. Even if it is really bad, you can still get the ability you want after eating it."
The middle-aged man said unconvinced, "Humph, I plan to use this thing as a collection. If it breaks, what collection value does it have?"
Mask man waved his hand and said, "So, it's time for you to pay my commission."
"Of course I have to give you a lot of money, but you want two billion for this fruit. I'm afraid you are crazy. Don't think I don't know the market price of this thing, one billion. I will give you one billion at most." The middle-aged man planned to bargain with the Mask man.
Mask Man suddenly sneered, slapped the modified gun hanging on his waist on the table, and pointed the muzzle at the middle-aged man.
The middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, and a few drops of cold sweat broke out on his forehead. "Hey, you are just a Bounty Hunter, how many Bounty Criminal do you have to catch to earn one billion? Let's do this, 1.2 billion, no more."
Mask The man sneered, "The Navy paid 3 billion Beli for this fruit. I charge you 2 billion. Isn't that too much? Since you want to bargain, ask my gunman if he agrees."
The middle-aged man didn't believe it. "Three billion? Are you kidding me? How could anyone really spend three billion to buy a Devil Fruit?"
The man Mask chuckled and raised his finger and pointed behind him, Lin Mo, who was eating noodles. "That boy was at Auction at the time. You can ask him, or you can ask your friends who go to Auction,"
The middle-aged man looked in the direction of Mask's male finger and saw Lin Mo. He was stunned for a moment and then laughed loudly, "Hahaha, Hoss, are you kidding me? Is that kid ten years old? Can he get in Auction?"
"Why not?" Man Mask said amusedly, "You know people, but you don't know their hearts. Don't judge a person by his appearance. That guy is a very ruthless person, right?"
As he spoke, Mask male Hoss turned to look at Lin Mo and grinned at him.
Lin Mo didn't want to hear the conversation between these two people, but they happened to be at the next table, so it was impossible not to hear it.
What Hoss said, it is not difficult to guess that what he sent to the fat rich man opposite was the Flame-Flame Fruit that was previously auctioned at Yuba...
As for how this Mask man Hoss snatched Flame-Flame Fruit from under Akainu's nose, Lin Mo doesn't know, and he has no interest in knowing.
I originally planned to eat a bowl of noodles and leave, but unexpectedly, before I finished eating the noodles, the other party gave it to Aite.
Lin Mo directly chose to ignore Hoss.
The middle-aged man sneered and said, "I think you just deliberately raised the price and just found a brat to help you. Maybe this brat is the same as you."
"It seems that you don't believe me anymore." Hoss stretched out his hand towards the middle-aged man, "Then the negotiation failed, please return Flame-Flame Fruit to me."
"What a beautiful idea!" The middle-aged man immediately hugged the Flame-Flame Fruit in his hand, "Now that this good thing is in my hands, don't even think about taking it back! I was the one who hired you to grab this fruit. If it weren't for me, you wouldn't know Yuba at all. will auction this thing, I have changed my mind now, I will give you up to 500 million, take it if you want it, no, hum, this is Alubarna, and it is also the most prosperous street with the best security, do you dare to kill me here?"
Hoss suddenly sneered again, picked up the gun on the table, and pointed it at the middle-aged man's head.
The middle-aged man smiled and stared at him, "Fifty million is still being chased by Alubarna Royal Guard. Don't make the wrong choice. If you make a wrong step, you will be wrong every step of the way..."
The middle-aged man hasn't finished speaking yet.
Just listen to a muffled sound of 'bang'.
A special bullet that was three times smaller than an ordinary bullet and rotated at high speed hit the middle-aged man between the eyebrows.
The middle-aged man's eyes widened. With an expression of disbelief, he suddenly fell down on the table in front of him. A pool of bright red blood gradually spread on the table below his head.
"Ah! Killed!"
"Oh my God, someone actually dares to kill people in Alubarna... It's so scary. Where are the guards? Where are the people in the guards?"
Suddenly, there were screams all around.
Hoss looked like he had everything under control. He stood up calmly and snatched the small sack containing Devil Fruit from the middle-aged man's arms. Then he looked at Lin Mo who had finished eating the noodles and was wiping his mouth. He smiled and asked, "Kid, are you interested in this Devil Fruit? As long as the price is reasonable, this fruit will be yours."
Lin Mo stood up with an indifferent expression and placed the money for the bowl of noodles on the dining table.
He had no intention of paying attention to Hoss, and simply ignored the chaotic exclamations of the people around him. When he turned around to go to the tavern, he saw Vivi mixed in the crowd at a glance.
At this moment, Vivi's eyes were filled with fear.
Igaram chased Vivi and squeezed into the crowd of onlookers. When he saw a man lying upside down on a table in a noodle shop with his head pressed against a pool of blood, the first thing he did was to quickly cover Vivi's eyes. When he was about to ask what was going on, he discovered that Lin Mo was also here!
Chapter 85 Alabasta: The trouble of not knowing what fear is
Lin Mo doesn't know why Vivi appeared here so early in the morning.
However, looking at the state Vivi was in just now, he was definitely shocked.
This must be the first time she saw someone die in front of her eyes, so Igaram covered her eyes with her hands.
Although Igaram was curious as to why Lin Mo was here, now was not the time to ask Lin Mo. Igaram asked with a heavy face, "What happened here? Who killed the man who fell on the table?"
