!!!!!!!! This immediately stunned Luffy and Teach, who were competing, as well as Zoro, Nami, the waiter, and all the diners currently in the restaurant.
Especially when they saw the large bag of Berries already placed on the table, the bag was open, revealing the stacks of green bills inside.
A quick estimate suggested there was close to one hundred million inside, right?
This... a rich young mistress! Everyone present immediately thought this, as anyone who came to eat here had basically seen the menu and knew that even if every item was ordered, not just twice, but five or six times.
This bag of money would still be more than enough, and if they made change, there might even be some leftover cash, or even a small fraction remaining.
Many people couldn't help but stare blankly, including Teach and Luffy, who were originally arguing, and the speechless waiter, Zoro, and Nami on the side.
But Luna didn't care what they thought. She wasn't finished speaking yet; she was mainly trying to decide what to drink.
But now she had decided.
"Ten more liters of apple juice, with ice."
"Understood! I will immediately have the kitchen prepare it and serve your dishes right away."
Seeing a huge business opportunity, the waiter immediately beamed, speaking with an extremely flattering expression.
He quickly poked his head through the kitchen window and immediately relayed Luna's previous requests to the chefs inside.
Perhaps having heard that a major order had arrived, the chefs in the kitchen instantly became enthusiastic, and the sounds and clamor inside heated up.
And Luna, under the astonished gazes of everyone present, found a seat and sat down, just waiting for her food to be served.
Luffy and Teach couldn't help but exchange glances. They felt like clowns; after competing for so long, a female interloper had suddenly appeared, leaving them feeling extremely awkward.
But the problem was, she really was rich, and she had more money and presence, leaving them speechless.
At the same time, both men were extremely curious: who exactly was this woman?
The other people in the restaurant felt the same way.
But suddenly, Teach took a close look at Luna, and his expression instantly changed drastically.
Because he had recognized her: wearing a pink sun hat, this outfit, this face—it was Luna, the Captain of the Pink Hat Pirates.
She was rumored to be an extremely special Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit user, possessing the Void Ability, which could grant immunity to any attack in the world.
Although she and her Pirate Crew originated from the East Blue and had been on the Grand Line for less than two months, she had already made a name for herself.
Luna's battle record was particularly notable: she had easily defeated two Marine Reserve Admirals and Akainu, who was known as the strongest monster Admiral.
Given such power and such a record, even though Teach had seen Luna's wanted poster, learned about her abilities from the newspapers, and was extremely greedy for her "Devil Fruit" power, now that he saw her in person at close range.
Teach couldn't help but feel fear. Of course, this was a ruthless person who had easily thrashed Admiral Akainu.
Although he was confident in his Dark-Dark Fruit, he did not believe he had the ability to defeat this crazy girl who could beat Akainu.
The newspapers clearly stated that besides her Void Ability, Luna's Three Types of Haki were also formidable; her Conquerors Haki Infusion alone was enough to make him avoid confrontation right now.
Putting aside the slight greed and fear in his heart, Blackbeard Teach calmed down, deciding to stick to his original plan: capture a pirate with a bounty over 100 million and hand him over to the Marines to gain a position as one of the Shichibukai.
This would facilitate his subsequent actions.
However, it was not advisable to stay here long. Teach couldn't gauge Luna, especially since he already felt a powerful deterrent emanating from her, so he immediately grabbed the 50 cherry pies he had just ordered and chose to leave.
As he walked out the door, the restaurant waiter quickly brought the prepared dishes to the table in front of Luna. Luna displayed an excited and thrilled sweet smile and immediately began to feast, her eyes instantly focusing only on the food on the table.
Teach saw this scene and breathed a sigh of relief, but still quickly walked out of the restaurant.
Little did he know, Luna had secretly been watching him, and only after seeing him leave did she truly start to devour the delicacies in front of her. Although the taste and texture were slightly inferior to what Carmen made.
But it was just lunch; she would make do. It would take almost two hours to finish this meal, so after she was done, she would head back immediately.
Besides, she really felt like taking action today; she was itching for a fight. She hadn't received any news from The Girls yet, and since Blackbeard had already left, that piece of trash looking for death should be arriving soon.
At this moment, Luffy was still paying attention to Luna, especially seeing so much food on her table, as well as a large barrel of apple juice next to her with a huge straw stuck inside.
He couldn't help but feel hungry and was about to go talk to her, but he was quickly stopped by Zoro and Nami. Like Blackbeard, they had recognized Luna. Nami immediately covered Luffy's mouth with her hand to prevent him from saying anything reckless.
"Luffy, don't talk nonsense. This is not someone we can afford to offend," Zoro said loudly right away.
"Yeah, yeah, she's enjoying her meal right now. Although we have some connection to her, now is not the time to approach," Nami said, looking frightened.
Nami was clearly terrified, but she knew that she couldn't interrupt Luna's lunch, even though she had many things she wanted to ask, such as why her older sister had joined the other woman's Pirate Crew.
At the same time, she was excited, because if Luna was here, did that mean her sister Nojiko was here too?
She really wanted to find her quickly, ask her questions, and catch up, since the two sisters hadn't seen each other for a long time.
"Ah, who exactly is she that makes you two act like this?" Luffy asked, confused, after forcibly breaking free.
"We'll talk later," Zoro said, rolling his eyes at him and then glancing at Luna.
Just like Nami, he also longed to go and ask about Kuina.
And how could he not think of what Nami had thought of? He was already speculating that Kuina was also in this town.
Zoro felt excited thinking about this, but he temporarily suppressed the feeling.
After all, Luna's strength was too great in their eyes. She had easily defeated a Admiral; she was definitely a top-tier powerhouse of the sea. Since they didn't know Luna, going up and bothering her now might genuinely cost them their lives.
Hearing his two companions talk like this, Luffy could only give up.
Luna smiled at this, and at the same time, she noticed that her prey had arrived.
Bellamy, the Spring Devil Fruit user, was essentially Doflamingo's amateur subordinate—a so-called grunt.
Although he was redeemed later, Luna was truly itching for a fight today; she wanted to hit someone.
Bellamy walked straight in and approached the counter.
Just like in the original plot, as soon as Bellamy entered, he wanted to fight Luffy, slamming Luffy's head into the table, shattering the wooden surface. Luffy and Zoro prepared to fight back, but Nami immediately asked the waiter about Skypiea.
This drew ridicule from Bellamy and the other pirates present.
Heh heh, just a bunch of trash without dreams.
Luna, who had long since finished all her food and was now silently drinking apple juice, watched with a cold smile.
She highly approved of Luffy, who never gave up on his dreams and never easily admitted defeat. The rest of the Straw Hat Pirates were the same.
She also agreed that people should have dreams, just as Blackbeard said, a person's dream will never end.
Just like her dream upon arriving in this world: to become the Queen of this world.
Kuina sought the throne of the worlds strongest swordsman, and Shiro wanted to create her own mechanical kingdom.
Most of The Girls wanted to travel first, thoroughly exploring this world, and they all had their own plans for afterward.
Nojiko wanted to own a huge orange grove, preferably an entire island.
Carmen wanted to open her own restaurant, and the bigger, the better.
Kaya also wanted to own her own medical clinic, and at the same time, she wouldn't forget her family's original shipping business; they could simply manage them together.
However, Deya helped her out; she planned to open a shipyard in this world, intending to directly expand and strengthen Kaya's family shipping business.
The two had already discussed some matters privately.
Finally, there was Shino Asada, who wanted her own hunting ground where she could freely snipe fierce beasts.
When Luna heard The Girls' dreams, she only smiled, because she believed that The Girls could achieve them. After all, they not only had dreams but also the strength to realize them.
Ideals and reality must be put together.
As for the people in front of her, just as Blackbeard had said, they were a bunch of nonsense—no, they were even worse than that.
Especially Bellamy, who hadn't been redeemed yet, claiming that the dreams of pirates were over, and that the Great Treasure and the City of Gold were lies and didn't exist.
Luffy and Zoro likely stopped because they heard this, deciding that the opponent wasn't even worth fighting.
But just because they didn't act didn't mean Luna wouldn't. Luna was already feeling a surge of anger in her heart.
With the straw still held in her cherry-like mouth, she drank the last sip of apple juice from the wooden barrel.
With a bang, Luna directly kicked the wooden barrel away.
The barrel, like a cannonball, struck Bellamy, who had been looking disdainfully at Zoro and Luffy.
The barrel immediately shattered upon impact, but the immense force still sent Bellamy flying, crashing through the wall next to the counter.
He was quickly engulfed in dust. This sudden scene completely stunned everyone present.
Whether it was Luffy and Zoro, who had remained silent, Nami, who was confused by their refusal to fight, the pirates who had been laughing, or the slightly worried waiter—everyone stared dumbfounded.
"You pieces of trash are too noisy."
