Luffy had originally left nearly 5 million Berries for the town's reconstruction.
It's important to know that 5 million Berries was not a small sum in the East Blue.
It was more than enough to rebuild Orange Town.
However, the situation was different now.
Now Reno was in charge of the Straw Hat Pirates' finances, and getting money from him was simply impossible.
Of course, he wasn't completely heartless.
Although Buggy had been launched away by their cannon,
the other three executives of the Buggy Pirates were still there.
Reno and Zoro had them securely tied up in a conspicuous spot.
As soon as the town's residents came out, they would see them.
Although their bounty amounts were not as high as Buggy's, they were still considerable.
It was enough to compensate for their losses.
This was all Reno could do.
And so, the group concluded their journey here successfully.
They prepared to set off for their next destination.
However, a corresponding problem also arose.
Although they had obtained nearly ten million Berries and the necessary nautical chart,
there was also a very critical issue.
That was their current main pirate ship.
Their current small boat was simply insufficient to support them in sailing to more distant places.
Thinking of the dangers of the Grand Line, and then looking at the dilapidated small boat before them,
Reno couldn't help but sigh.
The most urgent task was to prepare a pirate ship.
Moreover, Luffy seemed to care a lot about this point.
He kept nagging in Reno's ear.
Aside from food, Reno had never seen Luffy care so much about anything else.
Reno naturally took the matter to heart.
If he had to say, the best option would definitely be Loguetown,
where many pirate ships were sold.
However, the Marine forces in Loguetown were very strong, and Reno didn't want to take risks, so that option was... If this step didn't work, then they could only go to the nearest island to look.
At least they needed to buy a decent one first.
Reno carefully sorted through the memories in his mind.
Finally, at one moment, Reno's eyes lit up.
"Captain, let's head towards Syrup Village!"
After much thought, that was the only place.
Syrup Village had a wealthy man who specialized in the pirate ship business.
Of course, besides pirate ships,
Reno knew that there was also a future King of Snipers there!
And so, the group set off for Syrup Village.
Syrup Village was a secluded small village.
Although it wasn't very prosperous, it was peaceful and stable.
The entire village was relatively quiet.
"It seems the weather today is quite good."
"Everyone probably isn't up yet at this time. After I stretch a bit, I'll go wake everyone up."
At this moment, in an open grassy area,
a young man wearing a brown-yellow suspender outfit, with wheat-colored skin and an extremely long, slender nose, stretched lazily.
