One Piece: The Long Road

Vol 3 Chapter 15: Meet Again

.

After watching Alex leave the weapon shop, Simon didn’t have the intention of staying in the weapon shop anymore, and said casually to Dusky next to him that he was going to go, and then walked straight to the door.

And that knife named Poppy, he has lost interest. After all, that knife is very important to Alex, and Simon has no idea about it.

As soon as the door was opened, the hot breath rushed toward the face, and the street was still very lively, and the crowds did not drop sharply in the slightest.

“It’s so hot.” Dusky, who followed closely behind, wiped the sweat on his forehead from the heat with the back of his hand.

Simon nodded, glanced at the crowd around him, and said, “Offline girl, I want to look everywhere, how about you?”

“I want to go to Colonel Smalls and ask if there is anything I need to do.”

“Then let’s separate here.” Simon’s tone was a little impatient. At this time, he really wanted to visit Nahana.

“Oh.” Dasqi responded dumbly, and when he wanted to say something, the Simon had already gone far.

“Really.” After stomping her feet, Dusqi wiped the sweat from her forehead with the back of her hand again, “I need a towel, I’ve been sweating all the time.”

…

After leaving Dasqi, Simon started walking around. At this time, the street was very lively. There were many vendors and shops on the left and right sides. Along the way, Simon seemed to have returned to the earth in a trance.

Every time he saw a stall selling some interesting items, he would stop and take a look. He also met a liar with a very low IQ who was selling a dyed apple around and eating it, and he didn’t know what it would be like. What idiot would buy it.

After walking for a while, Simon had already wandered the whole street to satisfy his curiosity.

“Where is this?” Since there was no specific map of Nahana, Simon walked away from the street and came to a very unfamiliar place. There were only a few local-style buildings around, no pedestrians were seen, and it was very quiet at the same time.

Recalling the road he had traveled, Simon turned around and looked at the intersection when he came. At this time, he realized that he had walked into an alley at the end of the street before he knew it.

Although the number of buildings in this place is not as many as in the city center, they are quite close to each other. Except for the alley where Simon came in, the other alleys are very deep and the surroundings are extremely quiet, except for the alleys far away. Pedestrians, almost no one is seen here.

“How did you get here?” Simon looked around, feeling a little helpless. He had not been shopping for a long time. He planned to go back to the street to find Smoker. Maybe, Luffy would also arrive at Nahana at this time.

Thinking of this, Simon walked towards the alley where he came without hesitation.

“Haha!” Simon, who was walking into the alley to leave, suddenly heard a burst of wild laughter from a distance.

After the laughter disappeared, there was a vague conversation in the depths of the back alleys.

Simon turned around and looked forward, listening to the vague voices coming from his ears, and just at a glance, he could tell which alley it was coming from.

Frowning, Simon hesitated for a while, but decided to go and have a look. After he made the decision, he stepped on his foot and ran out. The speed was not very fast, but there was only a faint sound that was difficult to detect between the rise and fall of his toes.

As he got closer and closer to the source of the sound, the vague voice suddenly became clear, and he pressed his body against a corner of the wall, and Simon listened carefully.

“Hmph, I didn’t expect a little beggar in rags to have so much money on his body.” This voice was very rough, and people would think that the person who said this would be a big boss.

The rough voice just fell, and a slippery voice came up: “Haha, this kid is so interesting, he is carrying hundreds of thousands of Baileys to rob.” Under the muffled sound.

“Bastard… huh… give me the money back!”

Simon, who was attached to the wall, heard the voice, his face changed slightly, this was Alex’s voice.

“Haha, give it back to you?” It was the slippery voice again, “Are you joking?”

“Okay, just kill this kid, what nonsense.” The owner of the rough voice seemed a little impatient.

Hearing the murderous intent in that rough voice, Simon could no longer wait and watch it change, and immediately took shape.

As soon as he entered the alley, he saw a thin young man who was slightly bent over, stepping on the head of a small child like a beggar. This little boy was Alex whom he met in the weapons store not long ago.

On the side, stood a brawny man with a naked chest and flesh. His body was extremely strong. Judging from the muscles that were about to explode, it could be seen that his strength was definitely not low.

The movement caused by Simon entering the alley was inevitably noticed by these two people, and they all turned their attention to Simon.

The thin man saw an uninvited guest, his face suddenly became gloomy, and he said to Simon coldly: “Boy, since you are not a local, I advise you not to mind your own business.”

The strong man on the side hugged his arms and did not speak, but the fierceness in his eyes clearly expressed his meaning.

Simon didn’t take these two people in his eyes, looked at Alex whose head was being stepped on, and said lightly: “Artis Alex.”

Alex turned his small head with difficulty and looked at Simon who was standing at the entrance of the alley. Since he was looking from the bottom up, and the light in the alley was dark, Alex couldn’t see the face of the person who came. Still, when he heard the voice, he immediately recognized the owner of the voice.

The light like a beast kept beating in Alex’s eyes, and he did not respond to Simon.

“Need help?” Seeing that Alex ignored him, and Simon didn’t care, he asked lightly.

“Hmph.” In response to Simondi, he snorted coldly.

Seeing Alex’s performance, Simon smiled indifferently, such a reaction was what he expected.

“Boy, just say it if you miss!” Seeing that Simon didn’t even look at himself, the thin young man was instantly angry, and he touched his back with a backhand and pulled out a knife with a swoosh.

Glancing coldly at the young man who drew the knife, Simon smiled disdainfully with his arms in his arms.

“Cucka…aaaaaaa!” The strong man on the side pressed his hands together, his fierce expression matched with his tall and strong body, which was very oppressive, but it was only limited to ordinary people.

“It’s nonsense again, just kill it.” The strong man’s voice was cold, and he rushed towards Simon as soon as he finished speaking.

Simon glanced helplessly at Alex and said, “It seems that I don’t want to help you anymore!”

At this time, the strong man approached Simon, and his huge fist brought a gust of wind pressure and pressed directly at Simon, and Alex’s expression changed. In his thoughts, this young man in the weapons store was not the two of them at all. opponent.

When the fist was about to hit his face, Simon still had a dull look, his palm turned into a black shadow, and moved horizontally not far from his face, and the seemingly powerful fist slammed into Simon’s palm, like a In the face of great resistance, Simon’s palm did not tremble in any way.

The look of the strong man changed instantly, not only him, but also the faces of the thin young man and Alex.

As if frightened by Simon, Alex easily broke free from the thin young man’s suppression, struggled to get up, leaned on the wall on one side, and first glanced at a big hole on the ground not far away, Then he looked at Simon with a relaxed look in disbelief.

“You seem to be very confident in your own strength.” Under the fist, Simon sneered. After speaking, the palm pushed forward suddenly, and the strong man flew upside down and brushed shoulders with the accomplice with the wrong face. Then, it fell to the ground from a distance.

The sharp knife trembled slightly, and the thin young man was shocked by Simon’s hand.

“Keep all the money on your body, you can get out.” Simon didn’t want to waste too much effort on these two trash fish.

Hearing Simon’s words, the young man’s face changed, but he was also very decisive. The bachelor gave all his money to the ground, then turned and ran in the direction of the strong man. mouth to go.

“You!” Alex stared at Simon in shock, speechless. He didn’t expect that he would be knocked down by those two people in a single face-to-face encounter, and this young man could dismiss them so easily.

“What?” Simon glanced at Alex indifferently. In fact, he was very fond of this boy who looked like a little beggar. It was just from the conversation just now that it was not difficult to hear Alex. What are you doing.

In the previous life, even if he was hungry and cold, Simon never thought about stealing and robbing him. Even if he was hungry for two days at one time, Simon was very displeased with Alex’s actions.

Although Alex is young, his mind is relatively precocious. He saw Simon’s indifference, shook his head, and said, “It’s nothing, I didn’t ask you to help me.”

For some reason, Simon could hear the resentment in those words.

In fact, if it wasn’t for the fact that he met Simon who wanted to buy his father’s knife in the weapons store, Alex felt a crisis, or he wouldn’t take the risk and blindly grab someone he couldn’t match.

“It’s fate to meet you at this time. Don’t you need money very much? The ones on the ground are enough for you to buy knives.” Simon, who will not stay in this place for too long, although he thinks this little boy is interesting, but It is estimated that there will not be any intersection in the future, and if you say a word, you will walk on the road when you come and go.

Looking at the money on the ground, there was a trace of struggle in Alex’s eyes. As Simon said, with the money on the ground, he had already collected enough money to take Yaoli away, but… that money was given by others. Yes, he couldn’t ask for such money, but if he wanted it, his long-cherished wish would be fulfilled.

“Wait a minute!” After pulling from side to side, Alex made a decision, he wanted the money.

Simon stopped, did not speak, and waited for Alex’s next words.

“I will accept the money, and in exchange, I will do you a favor!” Alex said loudly, this is the way he thought of to accept the money with peace of mind.

Hearing Alex’s words, Simon smiled and said lightly: “Okay.” After speaking, he didn’t stop and strode forward. He didn’t take what Alex said at all.
