Chapter 643

Ten minutes later, Sakazuki leaned comfortably on a recliner, watching the surveillance screen.

Seeing the Straw Hat crew successfully register as the Straw Hat Adventure Group, he showed a smile: "I'll give you some time to get familiar with the Adventurers Guild, and then, we can use the Pirate King to deal with pirates!"

Adventurer Hall.

"Look, there's an A-grade mission with a reward of 3.5 million Berries. We'll 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 unable to help but glance sideways.

"But, Nami, I don't really want to move right now!"

Nami's smile stalled, and her face turned icy: "There's no money left on our ship, and our food reserves aren't enough either. If you still want to eat meat..."

Sanji pushed Luffy aside and patted his chest to guarantee: "Nami-san, don't worry. We don't need Luffy for this mission; I can take it. After all, I'm an A-grade 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 saying it out loud might not be believed by anyone—a pirate crew with the Pirate King couldn't even scrape together a few million Berries, but their expenses were getting higher by the day. If this continued, Nami would sooner or later empty her own little treasury.

Joining the adventurers was exactly what Nami wanted. It allowed them to legally adventure all over the world and also opened up a stable channel for making money. It was simply a win-win.

Nami hadn't wanted to be a pirate in the first place, and she wasn't particularly attached to the title. Now, it seemed that being an adventurer was truly awesome.

Robin walked up, carefully looked at the commission requirements, and said with some surprise: "This commission... is to help the Kingdom of Alabasta transfer war refugees."

"Alabasta?!!" "Let me see!"

A-grade commission: 【Escort refugees to the relocation site】

Commission description: After the Kingdom of Alabasta officially announced its joining of the Revolutionary camp, the World Government dispatched elite Army 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 reach the refuge location safely. 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-grade adventurers or an S-grade adventurer. No fame requirement.

Commission source: Queen of Alabasta, Nefertari Vivi.

Nami covered her mouth, her voice trembling: "Is Vivi's country at war? Why didn't I see it in the newspaper?"

Sanji shouted loudly: "We're taking this commission for sure! I must go help Vivi-san. She's our partner!"

"Everyone!" Luffy spoke, and everyone's eyes turned to her.

Luffy pressed her straw hat with one hand, raised her head, and showed her iconic smile: "We're taking this commission. Now, we must immediately head to Alabasta to help our partner!"

"Alright!"

Alabasta, Alubarna.

"Queen Vivi, another adventure group just accepted your commission."

Vivi rubbed her temples, put down the front-line war report, and smiled reluctantly: "Igaram, didn't I say? You can just handle the review 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 with a start, 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, and it is indeed Luffy-san and the others. There are also some people I don't recognize, but I think they are all Luffy-san's partners."

A look of nostalgia appeared in Vivi's eyes, recalling the past when she and the Straw Hat crew saved the country. How nice that was~

"Igaram, give the mission to them! I... miss them very much."

Also, Dragon-san seems to want to see his son.

"Yes, Queen Vivi."

Sabaody Archipelago, Adventurers General Guild.

"Great, the commission acceptance was successful! Vivi must have recognized us!"

Luffy waved her hand: "No time to lose, let's set off immediately. We can't let our partner 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 is the Navy still... intercepting us?"

"I don't know, let's see what's going on?"

Soon, a Navy elite squad came onto the Thousand Sunny. After confirming the identities of the Straw Hat crew, they said: "You are no longer pirates now. 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~ You scared me to death. I thought the Navy 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 steered the ship, but his mind was full of thoughts. Perhaps, after this commission was done, he could consider leaving the ship.

His goal in boarding the ship was originally to help Straw Hat Boy become the Pirate King. Now... well, it should be considered that the goal has been achieved!

"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 her CPU.

"Laboon! Brook, you want to go pick up Laboon?"

Hearing Luffy's shouting, the others gathered around, looking at Brook.

"Yes, I have kept Laboon waiting for too long. Taking advantage of this opportunity, I want to see it and fulfill the promise from back then."

Chopper, Usopp, and Franky immediately burst into tears, looking at Luffy eagerly: "Luffy, promise Brook!"

"That goes without saying. Brook, after helping Vivi transfer the refugees, we'll go visit Laboon together. After all, I have a promise with Laboon too!"

"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~
