Krieg, clad in golden armor, shouted at the chefs inside the restaurant: "You, immediately prepare 100 servings of food for my crew, otherwise—"
Krieg smiled cruelly, picked up his one-ton great spear, and pointed it menacingly at everyone.
The threat was obvious.
The chefs were intimidated by Krieg's aura and were filled with panic.
"Hey, who are you? Move aside quickly, don't block the way."
A soft shout from behind made Krieg frown.
Who is so blind?!
He turned around and saw a man and four women approaching.
"Who was that yelling just now?!" He looked at the five people with a hint of disdain.
He was already annoyed, and now someone dared to provoke him.
Did he think he was Mihawk?!
"I said it, what's wrong?!" Nami stood with her hands on her hips, her brows furrowed, her aura not weak in the slightest.
"Reno, do you know him?!" Kaya leaned closer to Reno, asking in a low voice.
Reno glanced at him and said casually, "He's Krieg. That rundown ship is his."
Ah?!
The girls were surprised, then looked at Krieg with interest.
The overlord of the East Blue, looking like this?!
Nami was also stunned for a moment, but showed no fear.
Krieg, with a bounty of 16 million Berries, isn't that just three-quarters of Arlong?!
What's he putting on airs for?
"Ignorant brat, since you know my name, you still dare—"
Before Krieg could finish his threat, a spear wrapped in lightning was already pressed against his chest.
Nami stared at him and said unhappily, "If you don't want to die, then scram. Don't ruin our meal."
Reno, completely uninterested, walked past Krieg towards an empty dining table.
Kaya and the other girls followed closely behind.
Seeing this, the guests suddenly had an ominous premonition.
Krieg trembled with rage; arrogant, truly too arrogant.
As the overlord of the East Blue, in this part of the East Blue, how many dared to defy him?!
Let alone such blatant provocation.
Unless Mihawk himself showed up today, no one else would be able to stop him.
"You brat, die!!!"
The enraged Krieg roared and swung his great battle spear.
"What a spoilsport," Nami pouted.
She clenched her fist, and a lightning spear shot out, powerful bolts of lightning, like swimming snakes, frantically surged through Krieg's body, carrying immense destructive power.
Cracking sounds erupted from Krieg's body, and his tall frame trembled violently.
Soon, black smoke billowed from his mouth, and the great battle spear in his hand clattered to the ground.
"Just as annoying as Arlong."
A whirlwind appeared out of nowhere, sweeping Krieg's body over a dozen meters before he plunged into the sea with a splash.
The restaurant fell into a deathly silence.
One-shotted?!
He defeated Krieg, the overlord of the East Blue, in a single move?!
All the guests' eyes widened, staring blankly at Nami.
After a while, a voice filled with terror broke the silence.
"Nami, she's Nami, the navigator of the Reno Pirates."
A guest pulled out a newspaper he had just bought today and carefully compared it with Nami in front of him.
Orange hair, lightning ability.
It matched, everything matched.
In that case...
The guest subconsciously swallowed, his body stiff as he looked at Reno and the others not far from him.
Holy cow!
It really was Reno, the Captain of the Reno Pirates.
"You... you!"
He stood up in terror; the other party was a ruthless individual with a bounty even higher than Krieg's.
Reno, whose identity had been recognized, frowned slightly and slowly said, "You don't need to be afraid. We're just here to eat; we won't cause you any trouble."
He then walked over to the guest, "May I see that newspaper?!"
The guest was startled by Reno and immediately nodded profusely.
Reno took the newspaper and turned to leave.
Seeing that Reno truly had no ill intentions, the restaurant guests finally relaxed and continued their chatter.
After all, pirates eating at the Baratie Restaurant were a common sight.
They just didn't understand Reno's temperament and feared they might be as cruel and fierce as Krieg.
But now, it seemed their worries were unfounded.
"The Marines sure are fast; they've already issued a bounty poster," Reno said, looking at the newspaper with interest.
But soon, he frowned again.
Reno's unusual behavior piqued the girls' curiosity, and they immediately gathered around.
The bounty poster only showed Reno and Nami's bounties.
[Reno: Captain of the Reno Pirates, suspected Cloud-Cloud Fruit user, bounty amount 30 million Berries!]
"Wow, Reno, you're amazing," Kaya gave a thumbs-up, her beautiful eyes curving into a smile.
A first bounty as high as 30 million Berries was enough to show the Marines'Pay attention to of Reno.
Nojiko and Makino also nodded in affirmation.
"What about mine? Is there one for me?!" Nami asked eagerly.
She had defeated Arlong, who had a bounty of 20 million Berries, so her bounty amount shouldn't be low either, right?
The girls continued to read down.
[Nami: navigator of the Reno Pirates, suspected Goro Goro no Mi (Rumble-Rumble Fruit) user, bounty amount 50 million Berries!]
"50 million Berries?!"
"I'm not mistaken, am I?! I'm actually 50 million Berries?!"
Nami re-read it several times, finally confirming it was correct.
"Reno, my bounty amount is even higher than yours, you know."
The next second, Nami triumphantly put her hands on her hips and raised an eyebrow at Reno, "From now on, you'll call me Boss."
"It's rare for a crew member's bounty to be higher than the Captain's," Makino joked, which was unusual for her.
Kaya and Nojiko covered their mouths, stifling giggles.
They finally understood why Reno's face had turned so dark.
Reno looked at Nami with a half-smile, "Is that so? Then tonight, we'll have a good spar."
Boss?!
You really dare to say that.
It's simply outrageous.
He'd show her who's boss tonight!
Nami was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, instantly deflating and begging for mercy, "My most respected Captain, I was just joking with you. How could I be as powerful as you? You're the strongest."
"I've been waiting so long, I'm starving. Let's order quickly."
Nami quickly changed the subject.
Healing-Healing Fruit, unlimited stamina.
She was truly afraid.
Kaya and the other girls also thought of the terrifying implications and all fell silent.
Seeing the girls give in, Reno finally relented.
He then called a waiter and ordered a table full of delicacies.
