Chapter 373
Ten minutes later, Sakazuki leaned comfortably on a lounge chair, watching the surveillance screen.
Seeing the Straw Hat crew successfully register as the Straw Hat Adventure Group, he showed a smile: "Give you some time to get familiar with the Adventurers' Guild, and then, you can use the Pirate King to deal with pirates!"
Adventurers' Hall.
"Look, there's an A-rank mission with a reward of 3.5 million Berries! Let's take this commission!!"
Nami looked at the commission board with glowing eyes, her eyes already turned into the shape of Berries. This appearance made other adventurers present look sideways.
"But, Nami, I don't really want to move right now!"
Nami's smile froze, and her face turned icy: "We have no money left on the ship, and our food reserves are not enough. If you still want to eat meat..."
Sanji pushed Luffy away and patted his chest to guarantee: "Don't worry, Nami-san, Luffy doesn't need to do this mission; I can take it. After all, I'm an A-rank adventurer too!"
At that moment, the ice and snow melted.
"Thank you so much, Sanji! Hurry, hurry, take this commission, and we'll have money!"
They were very short of money. Nami said it, and perhaps no one would believe it—a pirate crew with the Pirate King couldn't even scrape together a few million Berries, but their expenses were getting higher every day. If this continued, Nami would sooner or later empty her little treasury.
Joining the adventurers was exactly what Nami wanted. They could legally adventure all over the world and open up a stable channel for making money. It was simply a win-win.
Nami didn't want to be a pirate in the first place, and she wasn't very attached to the title. Now it seemed that being an adventurer was really great.
Robin stepped forward, looked at the commission requirements carefully, and said with some surprise: "This commission... is to help the Kingdom of Alabasta transfer war refugees."
"Alabasta?!!" "Let me see!"
A-rank commission: [Escort refugees to the resettlement point]
Commission description: After the Kingdom of Alabasta officially announced its joining of the Revolutionary camp, the World Government dispatched elite ground forces to attack the Kingdom of Alabasta, resulting in many war refugees. Currently, the refugees are concentrated in Tamarisque, Alabasta. They need powerful adventurers to escort them to any island in the Four Seasons Islands to take refuge. Accepting the commission requires approval from the Queen of Alabasta—Nefertari Vivi.
Commission requirements: Must first protect the refugees to arrive safely at the refuge location. The danger coefficient is relatively high.
Reward: 3.5 million Berries, 8,000 adventurer fame.
Acceptance conditions: An adventure group with 3 or more B-rank adventurers or an S-rank adventurer. No fame requirement.
Commission source: Queen of Alabasta, Nefertari Vivi.
Nami covered her mouth, her voice trembling: "Is Vivi's country having a war? Why didn't I see it in the newspaper?"
Sanji shouted loudly: "We are definitely taking this commission! I must go help Vivi-san; she is our companion!"
"Everyone!" Luffy spoke, and everyone's eyes turned to him.
Luffy pressed his straw hat with one hand, looked up, and showed his iconic smile: "We'll take this commission. Now, we must immediately head to Alabasta to help our companion!"
"Okay!"
Alabasta, Alubarna.
"Queen Vivi, another adventure group just took your commission."
Vivi rubbed her temples, put down the war report from the front line, and smiled reluctantly: "Igaram, didn't I say? You can just review it yourself."
Igaram showed a smile: "Queen Vivi, the name of this adventure group is very interesting. I think you will be very interested."
"Oh? What name?"
"Straw Hat Adventure Group."
Vivi stood up from the throne, showing a look of surprise: "Straw Hat Adventure Group? Is it Luffy and the others?"
Igaram nodded: "Yes, Queen Vivi. I looked at the member list; it is indeed Mr. Luffy and the others. There are also some people I don't know, but I think they are all Mr. Luffy's companions."
A look of nostalgia appeared in Vivi's eyes, recalling the past when she and the Straw Hat crew saved the country. How good it was~
"Igaram, give the mission to them! I... miss them very much."
Moreover, Mr. Dragon seems to want to see his son.
"Yes, Queen Vivi."
Sabaody Archipelago, Adventurers' General Guild.
"Great, the commission was accepted successfully! Vivi must have recognized us!"
Luffy waved his hand: "No time to lose, let's set off immediately! We can't let our companion wait too long!"
"Oh!!!"
However, when The Thousand Sunny sailed out of the port, the Straw Hat crew was stopped.
"What's going on? Aren't we adventurers? Why does the Renhai Army still intercept us?"
"Don't know, let's see what's going on?"
Soon, an elite Renhai Army squad came to The Thousand Sunny. After confirming the identities of the Straw Hat crew, they said: "Now you are no longer pirates. Remember to change the pirate flag to a blue or white background, otherwise, it will cause a lot of misunderstandings, you know?"
Nami said hurriedly: "Okay, okay, we know. Thanks for the reminder."
The squad leader nodded and left with his men.
"Phew~ Scared me to death. I thought the Renhai Army was going to arrest us again!"
"Oh, forget it. It's fine as long as nothing happened. Isn't it just changing the background color? Leave it to me. Luffy, let's set off quickly!"
Luffy glanced at Usopp and smiled: "That's right, little ones, set sail!!!"
Jinbe controlled the helm, but his mind was full of thoughts. Perhaps, after this commission was completed, he could consider leaving the ship.
The goal of him getting on the ship was originally to help the Straw Hat boy become the Pirate King. Now... well, it should be considered that the goal has been completed!
"Luffy, after the Alabasta commission is completed, can we go to Twin Capes?" Brook looked at Luffy seriously and requested.
"Twin Capes?" Luffy recited this somewhat unfamiliar name, and memories suddenly flooded his CPU.
"Laboon! Brook, are you going to pick up Laboon?"
Hearing Luffy's shouting, the others also gathered around, looking at Brook.
"Yes, I have let Laboon wait too long. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I want to see it and fulfill the promise of that year."
Chopper, Usopp, and Franky immediately burst into tears, looking at Luffy eagerly: "Luffy, promise Brook!"
"That's for sure! Brook, after helping Vivi transfer the refugees, we will go visit Laboon together. After all, I also have a promise with Laboon!"
"Thank you so much! Luffy-san!!!"
At this moment, Laboon, far away at Twin Capes, seemed to sense something and let out a long whale song~
