One Piece: The Ninja Who Started as a Fisherman.

Chapter 292: Valpo is invited

"Blue Station! Blue Station!"

"The Sea Train is about to arrive at Water City Station..."

Two days have passed since the incident on Judicial Island, and Water City is in the midst of reconstruction.

"I don't know if Qi Kang has the ninjutsu to build a house." The speaker was Chopper, who was out treating the patients on the Judicial Island. He was inspired by seeing this scene.

Robin was just about to buy a book, so Chopper naturally took the initiative to look after this woman with a criminal record.

The remains of the Franky family on the North Coast.

Franky's house was also washed away. Dr. Chopper treated everyone's illnesses diligently and felt very happy.

Then, the two returned to the door of Carrera Company and quietly slipped in through a small door.

At this time, at Dock No. 1, the reconstruction work of Carrera Company was also in full swing.

With the help of the giants Oimo and Cassi, the repair here was very fast.

As a token of their gratitude, the two Titans said they would help in the Water City for a few days before returning to their hometown of Elbaf.

A group of reporters gathered outside the door. This time they did not come to interview the iceberg mayor, but to interview the pirates who saved the mayor.

Of course Carrera's people wouldn't let them in.

----

Carrera temporary residence, the repaired ship inspection berth.

The Merry was docked quietly, and next to it was the badly damaged Ark Proverbs.

There is also Usopp fishing alone here. While fishing, he brags about the Enforcement Island to Merry.

This guy seems to want to fish for wood fish...

Not far from here there is a luxurious special pirate room, which comes with a dry and wet separated toilet and a large bed!

"The pointer record will be full in three days. Aren't Qi Kang and Franky back yet?" It was Nami who spoke.

Now Nami is thinking about Qi Kang day and night and can't sleep at night.

Don't get me wrong, Nami couldn't stop because of the note left by Qi Kang, which read: I have the golden pillar on Sky Island.

As for where the two went?

Franky heard from outside sources that Valpo was promoting Valpo Alloy in the nearby [Spring Queen Town, Saint Poplar], so Qi Kang and Franky left Water City to look for someone.

"Mute, mute!" At this time, the Dark Crow flapped its wings and flew, landing in front of Nami.

Nami was delighted, thinking that Murkrow's return meant that Qikang and Franky had returned.

"Did you miss me?" Micita's figure suddenly appeared. Qi Kang basically used this skin when going out recently.

With a "bang", Qi Kang cancelled the transformation technique and revealed his true face. It was really tiring to use the transformation technique all the time recently.

"Qikang, are you done?" Nami meant Valpo.

"Done. The guys from Carrera have already made contact."

He and Franky searched for Valpo in [Spring Queen Town, Saint Poplar] for a long time but didn't find him. Instead, they met CP9 who was working to earn medical expenses. It was really fate...

Finally, the two miraculously found the foodie hippo in [Food Town·Puchi].

This time, Qi Kang beat people hired in the name of the Navy and Carrera Company. After hearing this, Valpo was so happy that his mouth almost curled up to the sky.

"Hey, Pirate King Luffy has recovered too...huh?"

The reason for the sudden change in tone was that Qi Kang was somewhat doubtful of his own eyes.

Luffy was eating heartily on the table with bubbles coming out of his nostrils, while Sanji was serving the food beside him.

"He's still asleep?!" Qi Kang complained.

This passive ability of returning life takes so many days, maybe it will be ready by Alabasta.

"Don't worry about him, let's take it out and have a look!" Nami said as she pulled Qi Kang out. Qi Kang exclaimed that this power was unscientific.

Looking at Nami's golden eyes, Qi Kang knew what Nami meant - she wanted him to take out that thing.

At this moment, the two ran head-on into Robin and Chopper, who had just returned.

"We're back. I've been watching Robin the whole time," Chopper reported.

Robin said calmly, "Haha! Silly Chopper, I will never run around again."

Then, Robin looked at the "bird shit coffee" and smiled faintly:

"A man with a mask came several times in the past two days, saying he wanted to fight Murkrow."

"Mute! Mute!"

When Qi Kang heard that they were the Flame Lion Riki and the funny circus animal trainer Mochi, he knew it was time to avenge himself.

However, Robin's next words made Qi Kang's face change instantly.

"Well, Alrita seems to be looking for you too. She should be here today."

After Robin finished speaking, Qi Kang immediately threw Murkrow away.

"Go! Murkrow, you are already a mature Pokémon, go by yourself!!"

Murkrow: ???

----

Outside the pirate room.

"The golden seal is released!"

As chakra was injected into the huge scroll, the space twisted and a huge golden pillar appeared in the empty square.

This scene shocked everyone. Even Nami, who already knew the inside story, was dazzled by the golden sight and couldn't open her eyes.

"This... this is the golden pillar from that sky island! How could they be willing to give it to you!!" Looking at the golden pillar full of historical atmosphere in front of him, Robin was shocked.

Facing Robin's question, Qi Kang answered calmly: "Yes, this is the protection fee given to us by the people of Sky Island. After all, the flag of the Straw Hat Pirates is not given away so casually."

"Luffy doesn't care, but I'm different. I just want to maximize my profits."

This cup of Qi Kang is refreshing.

The moment the gold appeared, Nami was already hugging the golden pillar and rubbing it up and down, looking like she couldn't let it go.

The gold of Ark Proverbs is nothing compared to the golden pillars in front of him.

Even if the gold content of this pillar is only 60% to 70%, the amount is so large that it is enough to ensure that the Straw Hat Pirates will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of their lives.

Qi Kang clapped his hands, bringing everyone back to their senses.

"Now that we have both the Treasure Tree Adam and Valpo, we need to use some of the gold to pay for the Franky family's shipbuilding and Valpo's material costs."

This guy Franky must be brought on board, and the money is the breakup fee between him and Franky's family.

The price he negotiated with Valpo was an exchange rate of 1:10 between alloy and gold.

The success rate of Wapo alloy synthesis is not 100% for the time being, and the amount of Wapo's storage is also limited. How much gold he can get depends on how much alloy he has.

This guy had just experienced a life of poverty and destitution as a ragpicker, and his obsession with money was beyond imagination. This could be considered Qi Kang's disguised way of driving cattle and horses.

Qi Kang knew that this alloy was very useful and a rare material. Since it was not very famous yet, the more he had, the better.
