The interaction with Dad didn’t last more than a minute; that really takes the cake.
Chinatsu shook her head, then left the area to reunite with Smoker.
Chinatsu had originally assumed that Smoker might have already left after such a long time, but to her surprise, he was still waiting where he had been.
Upon seeing Chinatsu return, he immediately took the cigar he was smoking out of his mouth.
“Rear Admiral Chinatsu, you’ve returned.” “Yes.
Why don’t you take me to see some other places?
To be honest, I’ve been in the Marineford recruit training camp the whole time, and it was incredibly boring.” Chinatsu raised both arms and stretched lazily.
Smoker couldn’t agree more with her sentiments.
“Then let me take Rear Admiral Chinatsu to a good place.” “Hm?
What kind of place?
Lead the way!” Smoker led the way with Chinatsu following behind.
As they walked, she wondered where Smoker was taking her, as the original story hadn’t spent much ink describing this place.
“Rear Admiral Chinatsu, we’ve arrived.” “Oh, let me see…
Damn, this is…” Chinatsu stared at the storefront in front of her and was instantly stunned.
It was a “women’s clothing store.” Chinatsu quickly turned to look at Smoker, as if to say, “Did you take me to the wrong place?” But Smoker indicated that he hadn’t.
“Come to think of it, although Rear Admiral Chinatsu is a Rear Admiral, you’re still just a teenage girl, right?
At this age, don’t you like wearing pretty clothes?” Smoker asked, puzzled.
This question completely stumped Chinatsu.
Pretty clothes?
Who wouldn’t like them?
It was just that since arriving in the world of pirates, she hadn’t had the heart to consider such things.
In Foosha Village, there wasn’t a fashion store at all.
In Marineford, it was just one simple Marine uniform after another.
For a while, Chinatsu even doubted her own gender…
Thinking of this, Chinatsu silently reached into her pocket.
Smoker, seeing what she was about to do, reached into his own pocket and pulled out a small money pouch; it was his Marine salary for the month.
Just as he was about to say with a macho attitude, “I’ll pay this time,” he saw Chinatsu pull several money cards issued by the World Government from her pocket.
These were cards that Uncle Kizaru, Mr.
Aokiji, and Old Man Garp had shoved into her hands previously.
However, she hadn’t had any desire for money and hadn’t needed them, so this was actually the first time Chinatsu wanted to use them.
“Then I’ll go in first.” “I-if you need anything else, feel free to call me!” Chinatsu turned her head to say this to Smoker, and by then, Smoker had already quickly put away the money pouch he had just taken out.
His face was covered in sweat as he thought about how he had almost embarrassed himself again.
Compared to the money pouch he had produced, the amount of Berries stored on each of the three cards in Chinatsu’s hand easily crushed his monthly salary…
Chinatsu walked into the clothing store, and the previously busy staff were instantly captivated by her as she entered.
“Oh my god!
How can she be so cute!” “Goodness, it’s like I’m looking at an angel…” “A Marine uniform?
Little girl, are you still a recruit?
But this Marine uniform doesn’t suit your style at all.
Come here, little sister; let me help you put something together!” A group of female shop assistants rushed over and surrounded Chinatsu.
For some reason, Chinatsu suddenly felt scared, even though she had never been afraid when surrounded by pirates…
Looking at these female employees, who were clearly women themselves but had such lecherous expressions, Chinatsu finally realized just how much charm she possessed now…
The universally acknowledged most beautiful woman in the world of pirates was the “Empress” of the Kuja Pirates, but that was bolstered by the charm enhancement of her Devil Fruit, the “Love-Love Fruit.” However, at 11 years old, the beauty Chinatsu displayed already possessed the “bearing of an Empress,” the kind that could captivate men, women, young, and old alike.
For the next half hour, Chinatsu was constantly in a state of changing clothes, like a dress-up doll.
But it had to be said that high beauty was high beauty; she could pull off almost any outfit.
Chinatsu wearing pretty clothes made the group of shop assistants shriek repeatedly.
In the end, she bought a total of sixteen items of clothing, received a full fifty percent discount, and a few items were even given for free.
Ultimately, those sixteen items didn’t cost much money at all.
“Come again soon!” Following a synchronized “Come again soon,” Chinatsu walked out of the clothing store, and she was already wearing the new clothes she had bought.
It was a long dress with a cape-like design.
It looked like it might hinder combat, but in reality, Chinatsu moved around and found that it didn’t affect her at all.
As Chinatsu left the clothing store, she instantly attracted the attention of many passersby, naturally including Smoker.
Smoker cleared his throat.
He understood that he couldn’t continue following Chinatsu anymore; he was afraid that if he kept following, he would be captivated by her beauty.
“If you don’t have any other requests, I shall take my leave.” “Alright, thank you for your hard work earlier.” Chinatsu waved goodbye to Smoker.
In fact, she hadn’t wanted Smoker to keep following her anyway, because next she was going to the weapon shop to get her hands on “sandai kitetsu” and “yubashiri.” “Let me think…
Hm, the weapon shop should be in this direction…
Probably.” Relying on her memories from the anime, Chinatsu wandered around Loguetown by herself.
Fortunately, Loguetown wasn’t big.
Even if Chinatsu didn’t know the way, she could find the weapon shop by circling around a bit—and besides, Chinatsu wasn’t a hopeless sense of direction case like Zoro.
Chinatsu walked into the weapon shop.
The shopkeeper had only intended to take a casual glance, but after one look, he couldn’t take his eyes off her.
“Li-little girl, at your age, what are you doing in my weapon shop?” “Naturally, I’m here to buy a sword.” Chinatsu replied casually and then carefully scanned her surroundings.
After all, it was 9 years ahead of the original story; there was a possibility that “sandai kitetsu” wasn’t here yet.
“Hm…
Found it!” Chinatsu’s eyes fixed on a spot, and the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.
She walked quickly to a small corner of the shop, where “sandai kitetsu” was lying quietly among other things.
“Girl, that sword is!” “Boss, I want this sword!” Chinatsu reached out and picked up the sword, drawing it from its scabbard.
A cursed blade with ghostly markings was revealed to the air.
At the same time, the “akazome sakura” that was also a cursed blade and was tucked at Chinatsu’s waist began to tremble again…
