Chapter 26
Help from a Kind Person
The Marines began to gather intelligence, and Kuro took people around, mainly Leda.
“Golden Apple, Golden Apple, a Golden Apple that can live forever after taking a bite.”
At the stall, a boss was holding an apple and shouting everywhere.
However, these three people would not believe it. No matter how young Leda looks, she is essentially a person who has been making a living since she was eight years old. Of course she has knowledge.
However, she wanted to eat the normal fruits at the stall.
“Kuro, give me money, I want to buy food.”
Leda stretched out her little hand and looked at Kuro.
“Pay you?”
Kuro was stunned and then his eyes widened. “Where’s your money, Lida.”
“I spent it all.”
“Huh?” Kuro stared at Leda.
“Yes.” Leda nodded.
After a while, Kuro’s raised voice came from the crowd.
“About ten million Berries, you spent it all?!”
Kuro said in disbelief, “That’s ten million. Do you know what ten million means?”
Seeing that Lida put on a pitiful look and did not answer, Kuro could only look at Crowe. “What happened?”
“Well, whatever Miss Lida likes, she will throw away the money and leave, no matter how much it is, it usually exceeds the original value. So…”
Crowe was troubled.
Leda herself has a big appetite and spends money extravagantly. Kuro originally overestimated Leda enough, but he still underestimated her.
Ten million. The materials of Treasure Tree Adam seem to be only 100 million. You ate one-tenth of the cost of a good ship in just a few days.
“Why are you eating ‘Essence Fruit’? It’s really good for you to eat the Swallowing Fruit. If you haven’t eaten the fruit, I will go and kill Valbo now and find the fruit for you to eat.”
Kuro gritted his teeth and said hatefully.
What’s there to eat? You can only save money by eating anything.
Leda pulled on Kuro’s pants leg and pouted. “Kuro, I’m hungry. Give me money.”
Kuro slapped his head and said, “I don’t have any money. The previous savings were given to the civilians of Roguetown. I thought that you had enough money on you, so I didn’t pay attention to the money. Sorry, I underestimated you.”
“Then what should I do? I’m hungry.”
Leda rolled her eyes and suggested, “Why don’t we dine and dash?”
Crowe pushed up his glasses, a little eager.
“You are Marines, Marines! You should know shame!” Kuro almost roared.
“Enough, come with me.”
Kuro sighed and turned in the other direction.
“Where are we going?” Leda asked curiously.
“Find a kind person to give us money!”
“Good Samaritan? Where? Wait for me!”
Leda followed.
… .
In this world, one thing is legal, and that is gangs.
Kuro doesn’t have money, but the gang has money. The gang is so moral that they will definitely ‘help’ them.
Besides, in addition to gangs, there is another force in Alabasta, and it also exists in this small port city.
“Before that, change clothes and wear a Marine uniform, those people will not dare to move out.”
Kuro entered a clothing store and changed into a unique desert outfit, as did the other two.
For the time being, he was the only one with some money.
After changing, Kuro brought the two of them around, especially into the alley.
His Kenbonshoku (Observation) Haki, like Leda, is a wide range. It is not a problem to sense this city, but the key is that their strength and aura are similar, and it is really impossible to lock onto them accurately.
This is not like the situation in Roguetown where they gather together to take hostages, and Kuro is not like Lingling who has her own x-ray vision.
He could only go into some alleys, just like looking for rats. The alleys are frequented by bad guys and rats, so there will definitely be some. And he has Leda, so he doesn’t have to worry about not catching any fish.
Such a cute child, of course there would be a generous ‘kind person’.
“Hey, hey, hey, stop.”
After walking through a few alleys, just as Kuro entered a new alley, there was a sound behind him. A few big men rushed out of the entrance and surrounded the alley. A tall strong man approached first and grinned.
“Hand over some money.”
“Look, here we are, Good Samaritan.” Kuro pointed at them.
‘Is that what you mean by “good Samaritan”?’
Leda looked at Kuro with disdain. “Isn’t this robbery?”
“Yes, I am robbing!”
The burly man thought that he was talking about him and laughed even louder. “You are foreigners, right? Let us teach you the rules here. The strong can dominate everything!”
“I also like this rule.” Kuro nodded. “Koro.”
Crowe pursed his lips helplessly. Nothing good will come from shouting at him.
But this kind of small fry…
Crowe didn’t even use his weapon, and in no time, more than ten people were lying on the ground.
Leda sat on someone’s back and put a gold ring that was obviously bigger than her finger on her finger. Then she put it in her pocket and counted the money.
“Kuro, it’s not even 100,000. It’s so little,” Leda complained.
“Shut up, it’s all because of you, otherwise we need ‘friendly assistance’?” Kuro roared.
“If one is not enough, we can change a few more.”
Kuro glanced at the person who rolled his eyes and said, “Thank you for your help. I will look for you next time.”
Then, they continued to wander around the city.
There are actually a lot of kind-hearted people like just now in this city. After walking through a few more alleys, Kuro and others met some people again, and as the amount of aid increased, the probability of Kuro encountering kind-hearted people increased.
Because he asked Lida to put the money and jewelry in a conspicuous position. When those people saw that these were people who needed ‘assistance’, they came up to deliver the money.
Of course, there are also kind people who look at their children and want to bring them a better life.
For example, the people who came to help in this alley saw that Leda was too pitiful and wanted to take her away to find a place to live again.
This kind of person was personally ‘grateful’ by Kuro.
“I, our Baroque Chinese Society will not let you go.”
The person lying on the ground said intermittently.
At this moment, he was unrecognizable.
“One more word and I’ll turn you into a ‘flapper’.”
Kuro curled his lips and let Koro collect help there and then hand it to Leda.
“Moo…”
Leda didn’t really want to take help from this kind of person, but the money was innocent, so she took it patiently, counted it and said to Kuro: “We have a million!”
Boom!
At this moment, a pillar of fire suddenly rose not far away, and the pillar was wrapped in rolling white smoke.
“It’s strange, why are people setting off fireworks in the middle of the day.” Leda looked over there with a curious face.
“Fireworks…”
Kuro also looked over and frowned. “That white smoke, Smoker? Fire… Oh, there seems to be something.”
“Do you want to take a look?”
Crowe asked.
“No, we still have to find a kind person. We can’t do it without money.”
Leda pursed her lips and whispered, “Who just said that Marines should know shame…”
Kuro glared at Lida. “Who do you think this is for!”
Forget it, forget it. I found him myself and promised him that I would eat my fill.
Kuro took a deep breath and walked forward.
