"This swindler! Ptooey!"
Nami walked out of the pawnshop, even turned around and spat once.
She almost lost two hundred million Berries.
Vivi smiled faintly.
Jotaro said indifferently, "Alright, let's go back."
This woman is simply obsessed with money.
"Yare yare, young lady."
A man wearing a black uniform and a black hat stopped in front of Nami and Vivi, pointing at Jotaro beside them, and said, "Don't let yourselves be fooled by him, this guy is a fake, I'm the real Kujo Jotaro!"
Nami, Vivi, "..."
Seeing the surprised expressions on the two girls' faces, that man looked even more pleased with himself.
"That's right, I'm the real deal! This kind of thing happens, who told me, Lord Jotaro, to have a reputation like the sun at its peak?"
"Right now in this world, many people are impersonating me. They borrow Lord Jotaro's great name to swagger around and cheat others."
"Not long ago, a queen of a kingdom was tricked into a tryst by one of my impostors. Although she eventually realized it was a fake, in the end she still got hurt."
"You two had better be careful."
As he spoke, he looked warily at Jotaro at the side, signaling him not to steal the girls he had his eyes on.
Nami grinned mischievously, "You say he's a fake, but with so many Jotaros around, how are you going to prove you're the real one?"
"Yare yare..." The impostor pointed at himself. "Do you know what I'm saying? This is the catchphrase only the real Jotaro would say."
To make Nami believe, he took off his coat, revealing the sturdy muscles beneath.
"In the East Blue, I relied on this very body to defeat the fishman Arlong, who had a bounty of up to twenty million Berries."
He pointed at a scar on his chest, his expression full of pride.
"This is the trophy left from that battle!"
Nami widened her eyes. If she didn't already know he was a fake, she really might have been tricked by his acting.
He made it look just like the real thing.
The silent Jotaro suddenly spoke, "Do you know which fist Jotaro used to defeat Arlong in the East Blue?"
The impostor immediately stretched out his right hand.
"Of course it was Lord Jotaro's Kirin arm!"
"No." Jotaro shook his head.
"No?" The impostor lowered his head and looked at his left hand. "Could it be this one?"
He still hadn't realized that he had just exposed himself without meaning to.
Jotaro didn't give him the chance to react, his heavy left fist had already landed on the man's face at some point.
Right after that came his right fist.
The impostor was directly punched flying by him.
Nami laughed and said, "Now he should know how Arlong was beaten by Jotaro."
"Ah, Which bastard did that, I finally got up on the horse, and now I've fallen back on the ground again."
"Cough, cough." The man who landed spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling like he might die at any moment. "Sorry, could someone come help me up…"
Seeing this, Vivi whispered, "This is bad, Jotaro-san, it seems you've gotten an innocent passerby involved."
Nami turned her face away, unable to bear looking anymore.
"Yikes~ He's badly hurt, to cure him would surely cost quite a lot of money."
Jotaro's face darkened, he never once looked in that direction. Pulling his hat down, he said,
"Pretend you don't know, ignore him."
After saying that, he stuck both hands in his pockets and swaggered away from the scene of the incident.
"That's the real Jotaro-san..."
Vivi looked at his back and gave a helpless smile.
But Nami thought it was really cool.
'That's exactly how it should be done! And it saved money!'
She was in a very good mood.
"Since we've finally come here, why don't we buy some local specialties to take back?"
She had already asked around, the food sold at the tavern ahead was very famous locally.
She planned to buy some to bring back for Shinobu Kocho and Nezuko.
After all, those two hadn't come ashore.
Jotaro didn't say anything. Anyway, it was just buying some things, it wouldn't take too much time.
"Hm?" The closer they got to the tavern, the more Jotaro felt something wasn't right.
"What's wrong, Jotaro-san?" Vivi asked beside him.
"Didn't you notice, since just now there haven't been any more 'Jotaros' appearing around here?"
Jotaro stopped and swept his gaze across the nearby street.
"Maybe all the 'Jotaros' are inside the tavern?" Nami shrugged. "You're being too paranoid."
"Kid, you're really bold. Don't you know Bellamy just passed through here? And you still dare to walk around dressed like that in this area."
"Bellamy hates this kind of getup the most."
A fruit seller by the street whispered sneakily to Jotaro.
"If he finds you, there'll definitely be blood."
With the doubt in his heart resolved, Jotaro didn't linger and directly walked forward.
Nami quickly followed up.
"Hey, aren't you going to ask around about this Bellamy? He seems to really dislike you."
"If he discovers you, he might cause you trouble."
Jotaro said impatiently, "So hurry up and finish your shopping, and then we'll leave."
He didn't want to stay in Mock Town too long at all, so he couldn't care less about asking about Bellamy.
"You're not going in?"
Seeing Jotaro standing at the tavern door, not intending to go in, Nami turned back and asked.
"Mm."
From inside the tavern came the sound of loud shouting and yelling, too noisy. Jotaro didn't really like that kind of environment, so he just stood at the door smoking.
Helpless, Nami could only go in together with Vivi.
"Wow, the drinks here taste so good."
Inside the tavern, at the bar counter, the straw-hatted Luffy drained his glass of drink in one go and exclaimed loudly.
Then he stood up, adjusted the hat on his head, and shouted to the boss, "Boss! We want to go to Sky Island, can you tell us the way to Sky Island?"
The moment his words fell, the previously noisy tavern instantly went dead silent.
At the door, Jotaro, who was smoking, sensed the change in atmosphere inside the tavern. He sighed, snuffed out his cigarette, and turned to push the door open and walk in.
Hearing Luffy's question, all the pirates drinking in the tavern were first stunned, then burst into roaring laughter.
"Hahahahahaha..."
They laughed until they were bending over, unable to breathe.
"Did I hear wrong? This kid is asking how to go to Sky Island?"
"Where did this idiot come from, he's simply killing me with laughter."
Luffy stared blankly at them, his face full of question marks.
"What the hell are they all laughing at!" Zoro finished the wine in his cup, looked around at the people, his face equally full of confusion.
