"Pirates??"
Luffy's single sentence stunned everyone on the spot.
Reno couldn't help but rub his forehead, feeling a headache coming on.
Did he have to be so direct??
The atmosphere on the scene suddenly became subtle.
After a brief silence, Miss Kaya spoke:
"Being pirates is fine, and you don't really look like pirates either."
Miss Kaya said with a gentle smile.
If not for her somewhat pale face due to illness, Miss Kaya would certainly be a great beauty.
Reno nodded slightly at this.
She really was a charming little girl.
"Miss, don't easily trust them."
However, at this moment,
An extremely unpleasant voice rang out.
The butler Klahadore stepped forward, blocking Miss Kaya.
He looked at Reno and the others with a wary expression.
The malice in his eyes was undisguised.
"Miss, as long as they are pirates, they are definitely not good people. Be careful they don't harm you."
Klahadore said, seemingly thinking of Miss Kaya.
Hearing his words, Reno almost threw up.
He had seen shameless people, but never anyone so utterly shameless.
He was completely shameless to the core.
Didn't he know what kind of person he was??
How dare he speak of them like that??
Without waiting for Miss Kaya's reply, Klahadore then looked at Reno and the others with a fierce expression, directly ordering them to leave.
"You all should leave quickly; we don't welcome you here."
"Besides, we don't want to deal with pirates like you."
At this moment, Klahadore looked righteous.
Every word seemed to be for Miss Kaya's sake.
But his real intention was to prevent the appearance of Reno, Luffy, and the others from ruining his sinister plan.
He had to drive Reno and the others away.
"Don't want to deal with pirates like us??"
However, no sooner had Klahadore's words fallen than a sneer was heard.
Everyone looked towards the sound; it was Reno.
"What are you laughing at??"
"Am I wrong??"
"We don't want to be associated with you pirates, so leave here immediately!!"
Reno's reaction made Klahadore feel that things were developing in the direction he wanted.
Not just him, but everyone else's gaze was now fixed on Reno.
"I was just curious."
"You are clearly a pirate yourself, so why don't you want to deal with pirates??"
Reno's words exploded like thunder in Miss Kaya and Usopp's ears.
"You... what are you talking about??"
"I am Miss Kaya's butler, not some pirate."
Although Klahadore immediately retorted, Reno could still see a hint of panic in his expression and words.
Reno's lips curved slightly.
Trying to pretend in front of him??
At this moment, everyone's gaze shifted constantly between Reno and Klahadore.
Most people's eyes remained on Reno; clearly, they were waiting for his explanation.
"Klahadore, originally known as 'Hundred Plans' Kuro, Captain of the Black Cat Pirates, with a bounty of 16 million Berries!"
"I should have remembered correctly, right??"
