Chapter 338 Real Poverty

"Make money, make money, make money."

After boarding an inhabited island, Lu Fei was hungry again, and his face was filled with weak thoughts.

"Uncle, where can I make money?" On the way, he randomly grabbed a middle-aged man and asked.

The middle-aged man responded with a look of 'this kid is crazy' but polite: "Make money? I want to make money too, let's go to the pier to move goods."

"No, that earns so little, moving too much will make others unable to make money." Luffy muttered, and changed to another person.

"Sister, where can I make money?"

"Hey, has he always been like this... has he always been so embarrassing?" Sauron covered his face and asked Ace in the back, he couldn't see it.

Ace shrugged, just get used to it, what can I do with such a younger brother. . .

He continued to walk forward, and after a few steps, he suddenly felt a familiar feeling. When he turned his head, Sauron had disappeared, and he put his hand on his forehead weakly: "Really, walking together can suddenly lead to a sense of familiarity." Lost and turned... I always feel that my life will be more difficult in the future."

"Luffy! Luffy!"

"Come here, Sauron is lost again!"

Luffy grinned, looked around, ran to Ace, and suggested, "Let's sell Sauron's knife, Ace!"

"You don't have to secretly suggest this to me every time you get lost, hey!"

Ace was speechless, and led Luffy to run quickly to catch up with Zoro who suddenly turned a corner but muttered, "Why is there no one when I walk?"

"Zoro! Ace said that if you lose it again, he will sell your knife!" Luffy shouted.

"What did you say? Ace?!"

"When did I say that!" Ash punched Luffy's head hard.

"It hurts! Ace, why are you looking more and more like Grandpa Garp now." Luffy followed his strength and fell to the ground, "I'm so hungry~"

Seeing this, Ace also felt distressed, hesitating whether to take out the hidden emergency lamp coins and have a meal first, and suddenly saw Luffy who was lying on the ground raised his head and his nose twitched.

"Hey~~~It smells so good!"

Like a caterpillar, Luffy scrambled fast on the ground, following the scent he smelt, crossed a street in a blink of an eye, and came to a small courtyard at the end of the alley.

And the two people chasing Luffy also smelled a burst of fragrance on the way.

It was the aroma of boiled meat.

"I really want to eat... Ace..."

Seeing that it was a residential house, Ezra gave Luffy a hand: "Don't disturb them."

Luffy was disappointed, and he sniffed reluctantly, then nodded and said: "I see, let's go, let's make money, I want to eat meat!"

After all, it came from the Navy headquarters.Sauron thought, the right angle not far away suddenly had a strange attraction for him.

Do you want to go there next?
Just when the three of them were about to go their separate ways, the door of the small courtyard in front of them suddenly creaked open.

Standing at the gate of the courtyard was an old lady with crooked body and crutches. The wrinkles and age spots all over her face made her look a little gloomy, but her eyes revealed kindness.

"Meeting is fate, do you want to come in and have something to eat?" the old lady said.

The courtyard door opened, and the scent became more pronounced.Lu Fei's eyes lit up, then darkened: "Grandma, I don't have money, so I won't eat."

Ace and Zoro looked at each other.

This old woman... should have noticed us a long time ago, but our heart network didn't hear her at all, seems to be very powerful?
"Come in, after this meal, I still need your help with some small things."

"This..." Luffy looked at Ace hesitantly. If you ignore the smirk dripping from the corner of his mouth and the wild nodding of his head, he is indeed hesitant.

Ace asked helplessly, "Grandma, what do you need our help for?"

"This." The old woman said, "I have seven stores on the island, and I plan to sell them. I also have some lamp wicks consigned to the Francis Merchant Group. Lantern coins, half price is fine."

Lu Fei stared: "Okay, so rich!"

This is a large and prosperous island with tens of thousands of people living there. The value of the seven shops is not small no matter where they are located.

Not to mention lights and wicks.

"Grandma, how do you make money, Ace and I have always been poor!" Luffy even forgot to eat for a while.

"Make money? Poor?" A smile appeared on the old woman's old face: "I am the poor."

She turned and walked into the house.

The three looked at each other blankly.

This, this is still poor? !
The old lady didn't cook much meat, only about a dozen catties, but the four of them shared the food, and even Luffy was half full, eliminating the feeling of hunger.

Looking at the old man who was picking his teeth slowly, Ace's eyes became more cautious. It was sea beast meat, and at least it was... third-level sea beast meat!

"Okay! Thank you for the hospitality, mother-in-law!"

Luffy didn't think too much about it at all. He stuck out his tongue and licked off the greasy smell on the plate, and said, "Where is your shop? How many lamp coins are you going to sell? Let's promote it for you!"

"It's not far... Oh, and, there's also this yard, and we'll sell it as well."

"Yard?" Lu Fei was taken aback, "Are you going to move?"

"Moving? It's okay." The old lady smiled again: "Go to the world after death."

Sauron's pupils trembled slightly.

Ace's heart trembled.

Lu Fei's expression didn't change at all: "The world after death? Are you going to die?"

"Aren't you sorry for me?"

"A little bit." Luffy nodded: "Is there any way to keep you from dying?"

"Ha, ha, ha..." The old lady was suddenly amused by him: "You are such an interesting child. Unfortunately, there are no more."

"That's it." Lu Fei's expression became slightly depressed: "I see."

Ace asked: "I don't know your name, mother-in-law, and how old are you this year?"

"My name is Xin, and my age should be 640...[-]...well, I can't remember exactly." The old lady replied.

"More than 600 years old?" Luffy couldn't help but marvel: "That's... that's much, much older than Grandpa Figo..."

"Figo?" Xin murmured softly, "The same name as King of the Starry Sky?"

Just as Luffy was about to explain, Ace next to him secretly elbowed Luffy. Luffy looked at him strangely, and continued, "It's the king of the sky, Grandpa Gaston Figo."

Ace was speechless, and Sauron was also speechless.

"You guys actually know him." Xin Ze smiled again: "The King of the Starry Sky is a great man. Killing the Pillar of Secret Poison is a good job, a good job, a good job..."

She didn't ask about the relationship between the three of them and Figo, but just kept praising Figo.

Seeing this, Ace asked Chi: "You...has animosity with the Demon Clan?"

"At our age, who doesn't have hatred with the demon clan?" Xin said, "My father, my mother, and my lover all died at the hands of the demon clan!"

The expressions of the three of them changed.

Xin continued: "Want to hear about my experience as an old woman? Hehe, there is nothing special about it.

More than 600 years ago, the demon clan had not been divided, and Deng Mars had not entered into peace.My parents and lover are all soldiers of the Lantern Army, and even counting up, my grandpa and grandma also died in the battle with the demon clan.

The year my lover died, I was 27 years old, and we made an agreement that we would get married when he came back from his mission..."

She shook her head, concealed the rest of the sentence, and said: "Later, I also joined the Lantern Army. I trained and practiced desperately, looking forward to participating in the war with the demon clan, looking forward to revenge, but in the end Just when I was ready for everything, the Demon Clan split.

Peace, come! "

"Then you..." Ace asked.

"Two years after peace came, the human race, the half-demon race, and the demon race were divided into sea areas and settled down completely. The Skeleton Emperor issued an order that the Lantern Army does not have to continue to have more than ten million people. Anyone who has no brothers, sisters, or children in the family, All need to withdraw from the Light Army and stand by.

So, I can only leave. "

Xin sighed, "Standby? I've been on standby for 100 or 200 years. Until today, I'm afraid the emperor has forgotten me.

The war is finally about to restart. With the help of the Star King, we want to let the demon race experience everything we have experienced, but you see, can I still participate in the war now? "

Her eyes were slightly red, and all three of them felt the powerlessness and helplessness in her words.

"That's why I said that I am the poor. The real poverty is not being needed by others, but being forgotten by others." She shook her head and said.

"Of course, I have never hated others in my heart, and I have also found the last thing I can do with my decaying body." She smiled again: "Okay, go and help me sell the shop, I In a hurry, I'm going to take a look at the funeral of Lord Diao Deng Wang."

"Rub... a funeral?"
