Chapter 86
[086]: Intelligence [2/2]
After Luffy and his crew got off the ship, they first found a local clothing store.
Then they all went in and changed into clothes.
They all changed into clothes suitable for traveling through the desert. They all wore Arabic clothes.
Just as they finished changing and were about to leave, Luffy called them:
"Don't worry.
You still need to buy a set of warm clothes."
"Huh? Why buy warm clothes?" Zoro turned his head in confusion.
Chopper lay on Zoro's head and stuck out his tongue and said:
"Yes, Luffy, I'm so hot now that I can't even move."
Weiwei slapped her forehead and exclaimed:
"Yes, I almost forgot this.
Luffy is really thoughtful."
Everyone else looked at them in confusion.
Even someone as smart as Nami didn't understand what they meant. After all, she had been wandering around the East China Sea since she was a child and had never been to the desert.
Luffy smiled and said:
"We are going to travel through the desert for a few days, so we have to be prepared for the cold.
The temperature difference between day and night in the desert is very large.
The higher the temperature during the day, the colder the night.
For safety and comfort, we can buy a few more tents."
The waiter on the side immediately laughed when he heard this, rubbing his hands and coming up to support the joke:
"What the handsome guy said is absolutely right.
The desert is very cold at night.
Next to the shop is a desert equipment store. You can go next door to have a look after buying warm clothes."
Ten minutes later, Luffy and his friends had several more large bags in their hands.
"Alas."
Weiwei sighed as she looked at the large and small bags in her hands, and said with a smile:
"By the way, did we buy it too early? We have so many things, and we have to go to eat later, right?"
Sanji smiled and said:
"Don't worry, Vivi-chan, our captain will take care of everything."
Nami and the others also laughed.
Then Vivi followed them into an empty alley.
She followed Nami and the others and put the things on the ground in front of Luffy and looked at him curiously.
Luffy did not hesitate and raised his hand to touch each package one by one. Then those things disappeared one by one in front of Vivi.
""Eh!!!" Weiwei exclaimed, covering her mouth.
Gah!!!
Kalu also opened his duck mouth and raised his duck wings.
Chopper, who was lying on Zoro's head, also widened his eyes and said in disbelief:
"Luffy, what kind of ability is this? It's amazing, isn't it? Aren't you the rubber man who ate the emotion fruit?"
Luffy looked at Chopper in confusion:
"It's normal for a parahuman devil fruit to have the ability to store things in space, right?"
Chopper:"......"
Zoro patted Chopper's little butt and said:
"Forget it, Chopper. We have already given up on this issue.
I wouldn't be surprised if Luffy could develop the ability to fly with us in the future."
Yeah, yeah!
Sanji, Usopp, and Nami all nodded in agreement.
Vivi opened her mouth, but for a moment she didn't know what to say.
"Don't worry about the details."
Luffy raised his hand and said:
"Guys, let's go to dinner!"
Everyone got excited when they heard this.
"Oh oh oh!!!"
"Captain, you are so generous! I want to drink as much as I can today!"
"Stop wasting money, you've already spent over 60 million in the past month! You spendthrift!"
"Hahaha, it's rare for us to go to a restaurant next time. Don't worry, we will be rich soon!"
Then Luffy and his friends came to the largest restaurant in Nahana.
After finding a table in the corner and sitting down, Luffy turned to look at Vivi and said:
"Weiwei, are you sure we can gather some intelligence here? How should we proceed?"
Weiwei nodded and lowered her voice:
"Well, this is the place where a large underground intelligence agency in Alabasta collects and distributes information.
When someone comes to deliver the menu, just leave it to me."
Luffy and his friends looked at each other and nodded.
As soon as Vivi finished speaking, someone came over with a menu and asked what dishes they wanted to order.
After Luffy and his friends ordered a circle of dishes, the menu fell into Vivi's hands, and then they saw Vivi speak to them in code.
The waiter looked around and said in a low voice:
"Write the information you need on the back of the menu, and we will charge you accordingly."
Vivi nodded and handed the menu to Luffy.
After thinking about it, Luffy wrote two questions on it:
"1: Is there a person named Portgas?·D·Ace's men came here to find Monkey.·D·Luffy?
2: Have the rebels in Alabasta and the royal army officially clashed?
3: Which place has the rebels in Alabasta occupied so far?"
After writing, Luffy handed the menu to Vivi again and motioned Vivi to take a look.
Vivi took it and looked at it and was stunned for a moment. She didn't expect that two of the three pieces of information Luffy wanted to buy were related to her.
You know, this information is definitely not cheap!
After looking at Luffy with gratitude, Vivi handed the menu to the waiter. After looking at the three questions, the waiter was a little surprised at first, and then immediately smiled. He bowed to them more respectfully and turned to leave.
Soon the dishes came up, and after the waiters who served the dishes left, the waiter holding the menu came over again.
He smiled at Luffy and the others for money:
"The food and wine cost 600,000 Baileys, and the intelligence cost 3 million Baileys.
As he spoke, he had a stack of papers in his hand, and then he looked at Luffy and the others with a smile.
"So expensive!?" Zoro and the others were shocked.
Luffy raised his hand to stop them, and then looked up at Nami.
Although Nami thought it was too expensive, she would not disobey Luffy at this time.
He immediately picked up a suitcase from her feet, put the suitcase on the table, and took out 3.6 million Baileys from it and threw it over under the greedy eyes of the waiter.
After taking the Baileys, the waiter immediately handed the information in his hand to Luffy, and then quickly entered the back kitchen.
Although their transactions here are very fast, many people still noticed Luffy and his friends.
In fact, it is impossible not to let them notice, after all, there are two such beautiful women here.
However, seeing that Luffy and his friends are so rich, more people look at this place. Luffy didn't care, and directly opened the information content:
1: Ten days ago, Portgas, the captain of the Whitebeard Second Division·D·Ace, came to Nahana to eat and find someone (holding Monkey·D·Luffy's wanted poster).
In the middle, he had a conflict with Navy Captain Smoker, and the two were evenly matched.
After that, Fire Fist Ace left Alabasta.
2: Five days ago, there was a formal conflict between the Alabasta Kingdom Army and the rebel army. The Kingdom Army was defeated, and the rebel army was in high spirits and marched towards the capital Albana.
3: At present, the rebel army has reached the town of Lilu, which is closest to the capital Albana. It is only a day and a half away from the royal capital.
After reading the information in his hand, Luffy sighed that the 3 million was indeed worth spending, so that some unnecessary journeys can be reduced.
After calculating these in his mind, he handed the information in his hand to Vivi
