The man lingered on Smoker for a couple of extra glances, then didn't say much.
He then left the tavern.
"What a strange man."
Bartolomeo said so.
Reno was noncommittal.
He should be here to find his son, right?
"Alright, we've had enough to drink."
Reno stood up, intending to leave the tavern.
Bartolomeo followed closely behind him.
As for Smoker, he could only watch Reno leave helplessly.
After all, he couldn't beat him.
On the street.
"Barto, can I give you a suggestion??"
"Of course, Senior Bai Luo, please speak!"
"Change your hairstyle. I think a mohawk would suit you better!"
"what?? A mohawk? Since Senior Bai Luo said so, then I must be suitable for a mohawk."
Dragon left Loguetown.
Originally, he wanted to help Luffy deal with the trouble here.
But upon seeing the dying Smoker in the tavern...
Dragon knew that Luffy had another very powerful companion by his side.
"Luffy, go to the New World!"
A soft murmur.
A strong wind picked up, and he vanished.
On the other side.
Straw Hat Luffy, who was determined to become the Pirate King, climbed onto the execution platform where Roger was once executed and declared another round of bold words.
Flamboyant, arrogant, presumptuous!
He didn't put the Marine of Loguetown in his eyes at all.
The Marine stationed here gathered one after another, wanting to teach Luffy a lesson.
However, when they tried to contact Smoker using a den den mushi...
No one answered his den den mushi at all.
In fact, Reno had already considered this point and crushed Smoker's den den mushi before leaving.
When the Marine couldn't contact Smoker...
They had no choice but to contact Tashigi.
Unfortunately, Tashigi was currently engaged in a heated discussion with Zoro about the difference between male and female swordsmen.
She didn't even notice the den den mushi.
Zoro had originally intended to buy two good swords.
The final result was still as in the original story; he chose the third generation kotetsu (sword).
And unexpectedly obtained Yukihira.
Without Tashigi and Smoker, Luffy charged directly through the crowd.
Finally, all the members of the Straw Hat Pirates gathered together.
They broke out of the Marine's encirclement.
And at this time, Reno had already been silently waiting for everyone here.
When Luffy and his group returned to the going merry...
Reno greeted everyone warmly.
"It seems everyone has gotten what they wanted."
Reno's gaze swept over everyone in turn.
Especially lingering on the two swords at Zoro's waist for a couple of extra glances.
Everyone returned safely, and the necessary supplies had been procured, so there was naturally no need to linger any longer.
Under the gritting teeth of the Marine Soldiers, the going merry once again set sail.
Riding the wind and waves, they continued their journey.
The adventure in Loguetown ended here.
Everyone marched grandly towards the Grand Line.
However, accidents always happen during adventures.
Just like this time.
