One Piece: The Ninja Who Started as a Fisherman.

Chapter 233 Selling Gold and the Circus

The city of seven waters, the central street of Shipbuilding Island.

"These gold ornaments are of great historical value and very high purity. My professional estimate is 200 million berries." The appraiser's eyes lit up.

"Two hundred million Baileys?" Nami's dissatisfied expression was written all over her face.

"Yes! If you agree, I will prepare the cash right away..."

Facing the excited appraiser, Nami raised her beautiful legs, and the table in front of her shook three times in fear.

"Qi Kang!" With Nami's order, Qi Kang immediately came out.

I understand! I understand! Have you ever seen a pig run, even if you haven’t eaten pork?

With a whoosh, a kunai was accurately inserted in front of the appraiser.

Qi Kang pulled out a kunai and first performed a closed-eye kunai finger insertion.

As for why he did this, Qi Kang didn't know, he just thought it was cool.

"It seems like you can't handle this business!" Qi Kang slowly opened his one eye and stared straight at the appraiser opposite him who said, "I don't understand, but I am shocked."

"Let me make it clear first, we are big pirates with a bounty of over 100 million." Qi Kang pointed at his head and said earnestly.

"I'm not giving you a chance, but if you keep playing tricks—"

Qi Kang gently moved the kunai in his hand towards the appraiser's eyes, and said in a cold voice: "I promise that you will not see the sun tomorrow."

As soon as Qi Kang finished speaking, a layer of cold sweat broke out on the appraiser's forehead and his eyes flickered. It seemed that Qi Kang's thieving look scared the other party.

Seeing this, Qi Kang prepared to attack again.

He snapped his fingers, and in an instant, a dozen deceptive clones appeared in the room.

After finishing everything, Qi Kang spread his hands and leaned back on the sofa leisurely. "I'm not targeting anyone. I just want to say... In short, none of you can fight."

As Qi Kang finished speaking, a strong aura of power filled the air, and the atmosphere in the whole room almost froze.

Finally, Nami carried a suitcase full of Baileys and the cash problem was solved.

"Five hundred million! Five hundred million Baileys. I didn't expect it could be sold for so much money."

This amount of gold is worth 5 million. How many Cocoyasi can it buy?

Nami's eyes suddenly glowed with gold. How much is her motto worth?

"You don't care who made the move. I joined the Konoha Anbu when I was 13 years old. As for negotiation and pressure techniques, I know a little bit! A little bit!"

Faced with the arrogant Qi Kang, Nami rarely paid any attention to him and instead happily spun around in circles.

"The best thing I did was to come to the Grand Line!! There really is money everywhere here!"

----

Circus camp, central street of Water City.

"Wow! Robin is so awesome, how did you know the circus is here?" It was Chopper who spoke.

"Haha! When it comes to finding targets in a strange city, there should be no one better than me." Robin said with some self-mockery.

"Robin! I want to eat!"

"Hey, here!"

Behind Chopper and Robin, a guy wearing a mask and hiding his body in a cloak was watching everything from a distance.

This was none other than Qi Kang (the shadow clone) who was playing the "stalking" game. Although Dark Crow seemed to have discovered this "master", he tacitly remained silent.

At the same time, a dilapidated ship was anchored in the waterway behind the circus.

Li Ji, the exhausted lion, was drowsy at this time. He had developed a body full of muscular muscles because he not only had to jump through circles every day, but also often performed fire-breathing performances.

"Captain Buggy, why don't we go looking for treasure? Instead, we have to perform a circus in this city." Mochi took off his mask and rubbed his beloved pet, the lion Leakey, with heartache.

Hearing what Mochi said, Buggy flew out with his two arms and punched Mochi several times.

"Are you an idiot? Can't you see that my ship is broken? This is the Grand Line! Idiot! Do you think you can just fix it up and sail like the East China Sea?"

"Let me tell you something common sense - all the pirates in the four seas will replace their ships in the Grand Line, even our... um, even the Pirate King Roger is no exception."

Moqi covered his swollen face and said aggrievedly: "If we make money like this, how long will it take to buy a new boat?"

Buggy yelled, "Then do you have money? You should be happy that I brought you to the Grand Line! What's wrong with letting you make some money?"

At this time, Kabaji, who had just stepped off the stage on a unicycle, gasped and said, "Why not rob? This town seems to be very rich."

They are pirates! If they don't have money, they can just rob them!

Kabbage was still feeling resentful, but he didn't expect that Buggy would launch a "split kick" at him.

Grab! Grab! Grab! That’s all you know how to do! Don’t you have any idea of ​​your own strength?

If these two idiots weren't his trusted aides, Buggy would really want to blow them up with a Buggy bomb.

"Are you questioning your wise captain?" Buggy's face was gloomy, with an expression that said, "If you dare to say another word, I will blow you up."

"I dare not!" x2.

"Hoo..." Liki shook his head. (A familiar smell? Was it an illusion?)

When Buggy was showing off his captain's deterrence, an angry female voice instantly changed Buggy's expression.

"Bucky the Clown! It's your turn to go on stage! What are you still doing back there!!"

"Ah! Yes! I'll be right there!" Bucky's forehead was sweating and he quickly put on the mask.

After Bucky left, the two confidants who were left behind breathed a sigh of relief.

----

"The next performance is the cutting magic! The performers are the King of Clowns and his partner, the Queen of Iron Rods."

"Oh!!" xN, the sounds came one after another. Many people came to the Water City just for this magic. They just wanted to see the magic fail.

The people are real, the knives are real too! It’s all about excitement!

"It looks so dangerous. I wonder if they have a doctor." Chopper looked at the stage in front of him with a silly look on his face.

At this time, the man known as the "King of Clowns" stood in the center of the stage. He wore an exaggerated clown mask on his face, but there was a subtle hint of humor in his eyes...

The Iron Rod Queen next to him, holding a heavy iron rod in her hand, had a graceful figure and a dreamy look in her eyes. Her face under the mask made the male audience members in the audience feel distracted and had a lot of imagination.

"King of Clowns!"

"Iron Rod Queen!!"

In the audience, people's emotions reached a peak as the two entered.

At first, the performance was just like those old magic tricks, with the dark box cutting the body and so on, nothing new.

However, there is a lack of entertainment in the pirate world, which is enough to make these guys cheer.

As the performance progresses, the difficulty increases.

Rows of rotating iron rods, with sharp blades shining with cold light instead of pointed wolf fangs.

These iron bars are like crushers from the industrial age. They bite each other tightly, and the sound of cutting through the air is so loud that it makes people's hair stand on end.

And the man did an unexpected move—he jumped into the center of the rotating blade!

There was an uproar in the audience, and many people even closed their eyes, not daring to look at this horrifying scene.

Because at the moment when the blade was about to touch the man, his body was suddenly cut into several pieces, and each piece moved freely in the gaps between the blades, and finally passed through the rotating mace and reassembled into a complete Clown King.

The audience burst into thunderous applause, and Qi Kang was stunned!

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

Sitting a few seats behind Chopper and Robin, our shadow clone Qi Kang fell into deep self-doubt, even making him forget to pay attention to Nico Robin.

If the previous one was a magic trick, it would be understandable, but now he was sure -

The ability this guy is showing now is clearly the "Fractured Fruit"!

This is Buggy the Clown!

So, that iron rod woman...

"Circus! God damn circus! Are you guys poisonous? What are you doing here?"

"Hoo!!" (It's him! It's it! It's them!!)

Li Ji, who came out to perform, suddenly roared in the direction of Qi Kang.

This roar confused the trainer Mochi.
