Chapter 331: The Tavern in Magic Valley Town

Squeak!

Just then, the tavern door was pushed open from the outside, and three figures walked in. As they entered, the previously bustling tavern became noticeably noisy, but this paused only for a moment before returning to normal.

The change in atmosphere inside the tavern caught the attention of Bellamy the hyena and Lilman at the bar, and both looked up at the three figures.

The person walking at the very front of the three figures wore a straw hat, a red shirt, and tight pants. He appeared quite thin, and his face beamed with a bright smile.

The second person, half a step behind, had short green hair, wore a white tight-fitting short-sleeved shirt, a green belt around his waist with three knives hanging beside it, and a cold expression on his face.

The last person was a woman with short, orange-blonde hair. She wore a white striped tank top and yellow shorts, showcasing her alluring legs. She also had a smile on her face.

That's right, these three are Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, and Nami, who just left the Kingdom of Alaastan.

The three of them walked towards the bar as if no one else was around, and Luffy plopped down on a bar stool.

boom!boom!

"Boss! Boss! I want meat! Bring me lots and lots of meat!"

Luffy excitedly pounded on the bar counter and shouted at Lilman, who was standing behind it, looking as impatient as if he hadn't eaten in a long time.

Bellamy, sitting next to Luffy, was watching Luffy's every move. Bellamy, however, was frowning deeply, his eyes constantly scanning Luffy as if he recognized him somewhere before.

"Hehehe! Please wait a moment, sir. We'll go and prepare some fresh meat for you right away! What would the other two like?"

Lilman, standing behind the bar, glanced at Luffy with a look that seemed to indicate he'd seen him somewhere before, but then smiled, replied, and turned to Zoro and Nami, asking...

"Hmm? Boss! Give me two bottles of good wine!"

Zoro walked to the chair next to Luffy, glanced at Lilman, sat down, and then gave a brief reply.

"Hey! You two better tone it down, we don't have that much money to spend! Ah! Give me a glass of orange juice!"

Nami also sat down at the bar. After giving Luffy and Zoro some instructions, she spoke to Lilman.

"Hehehe! Okay!"

Lilman glanced at Nami with interest, his gaze sweeping over her impressive figure. He subtly compared it to his own without batting an eye, then turned and walked towards the kitchen.

"Hey! Are you from this town?"

Just then, Luffy, who was sitting idly on the bar stool, suddenly turned to Bellamy next to him and asked...

Luffy's voice was rather loud, attracting the attention of several nearby tables, simply because those tables were occupied by people familiar with Bellamy.

"Huh? Hey! You're asking other people... Hiss... You're Monkey D. Luffy? The guy who defeated the Shichibukai Crocodile?"

Bellamy was about to drink when Luffy's sudden question interrupted him. He was about to yell at Luffy, but when he saw Luffy's face up close, a look of surprise immediately filled his expression.

Bellamy felt he had seen Luffy's face somewhere before because of a wanted poster, a wanted poster delivered by the Mock Town intelligence team.

"Huh? Sir, you know my name? Hahahaha! I never thought my name, Monkey D. Luffy, was so famous! Hahahaha!"

When Luffy heard Bellamy call his name, he was incredibly excited and burst into laughter, waving his arms and legs.

boom!

Swish!

"Hey! You bastard, who are you calling 'uncle'? Do I look that old?"

Luffy's call of "Uncle" snapped Bellamy out of his shock. The next second, an enraged Bellamy jumped up from his seat, a sharp dagger suddenly appearing and pressed against Luffy's forehead.

choke!

At the very moment Bellamy drew his sword, Zoro, who had been sitting to the side lost in thought, also drew his own sword, his eyes fixed intently on Bellamy's movements, giving the impression that he would die if he dared to move.

"Oh! I'm sorry!"

Luffy glanced indifferently at the dagger pressed against his forehead, then simply raised his right hand and said "I'm sorry" in a nonchalant tone.

boom!

"Hmph! You bastard! Watch your mouth from now on! In this Demon Valley Town, no one dares to mess with me, Bellamy!"

Seeing Luffy's apologetic expression, Bellamy shoved the dagger into the bar, then snorted coldly and said to Luffy...

Pfft! Hahahaha!

The tavern, which had become serious because of the tense atmosphere between the two earlier, instantly burst into laughter after hearing Bellamy's words.

"Hahaha! Bellamy, whom no one dares to mess with, actually got beaten up so badly!"

"Tsk tsk tsk! Anyway, I wouldn't dare mess with Bellamy, hehe ...

"Tch! What a lame guy, Bellamy! Why didn't he just stab me directly with that knife!"

As laughter erupted in the tavern, those familiar with Bellamy began to tease him.

boom!

"Damn it! Shut up, all of you... If you keep spouting nonsense here, you'll have to pay double for your drinks tonight!"

Hearing the teasing around him, Bellamy slammed his hand on the bar. Just as he was about to swear, he caught sight of Lilman coming out of the kitchen, and his words suddenly lost all their force.

Pfft! Hahahaha...

Bellamy's change in tone once again caused the entire tavern to erupt in loud laughter. The onlookers, eager for a spectacle, kept glancing back and forth between Bellamy and Lilman.

This scene was witnessed by Lilman, who came out of the kitchen. Lilman glanced at Bellamy, then placed two large platters of meat in front of Luffy, and then served Zoro and Nami two bottles of wine and a glass of orange juice respectively.

"Hahahaha! I'm starting to eat!"

When Luffy saw the meat in front of him, his eyes lit up, and he happily began to eat.

Zoro, who was standing to the side, also sheathed his sword, glanced at Bellamy who had returned to his seat, and then began to drink his sake.

Nami let out a soft breath, raising her hand to stroke the magnificent thing in front of her. The tense atmosphere just now had quite frightened the little thief cat.

With everyone settled down, things seemed to return to normal. But just then, the restless Luffy once again drew everyone's attention.

"Hey! Do you know about Sky Islands? When our log pointer reached this area, it actually pointed upwards. Does that mean the islands are in the sky?"

hiss!

Luffy's mouth was full of food as he spoke, but despite his muffled voice, he successfully attracted the attention of those around him because he mentioned Skypiea.

At that moment, Lilman, behind the bar, stared intently at Luffy, while Bellamy, sitting next to Luffy, also kept a close eye on him, his expression constantly shifting.

"Huh? The log pointer is pointing upwards? Hahahaha! Yes! That's right! After arriving at this area, the log pointer is indeed pointing upwards! What? You want to go to a sky island?"

Bellamy stared at Luffy's face for a while, then suddenly burst into laughter. He then quickly explained the situation to Luffy and asked for his thoughts.

"Yes, yes, yes! That's right! I want to go to the Sky Island!"
