Meanwhile Luffy had gone to the execution platform to see what Roger had seen in the last moments of his life. Zoro had been roaming around and came across a shop which sold swords so he got interested.
There he had a meeting with Tashigi. Zoro didn't have to buy any sword here and he was just curious about the swords. Of course his curiosity led him to the cursed sword. Zoro actually had money this time as it was distributed before, so Zoro didn't owe Nami or anything of that sort.
At the end he did get the two named swords like in the original story. He would keep them as spare for now.
Usopp took another route and went to a shop that sold all kinds of weird things. He came across the sharpshooter that had challenged him to shoot at a weather cock that was very far away. Usopp accepted it and after buying the things he needed he went to this old sharpshooter who had once challenged his father.
It was safe to say that Usopp had won the challenge. But the end was a little different than the original story. In the original storyline he had just shot at the eye of the weather cock. But here Usopp just ended up burning the whole damn thing.
"What the hell is this? You ate a devil fruit?"
"Ossan.. Don't accuse me of those things. What I used is called Reishi. I collected Reishi in the air and made a bow. If I can upgrade my bow I can do more wonderful things."
"What exactly is Reishi?" The old man was confused and curious.
"Umm.. Ossan, even if I explain to you, you won't understand. But I can say that I am the only person in the world who could use it." Usopp said with pride not caring for the fact that such secrets, which fell into the wrong ears, would invoke greed. It was good that the sharpshooter didn't have any such thoughts nor his daughter.
Her father was grateful that Usopp's father had once let him go and then his son seemed to be more dangerous than his father. It was better to be away from this family.
Nami was having the time of her life. Her stealing life was in full swing here. She had been busy using magic to steal from rich people and use her 'power' to buy things she thought she needed. If Ken knew what Nami was doing with magic after getting the template of Hermione, he would be furious but then again it was to be expected from Nami.
She was going to shops after shops and buying clothes and things that would be required. Of course, Ken had asked Nami to buy dresses for all kinds of weather. The Grand Line was a place where the weather changed in the drop of a hat. Others didn't have his physique so it was better everyone had proper clothes to handle.
Sanji's story in the Logue Town didn't change much as he was confronted by a lady chef who accused him of taking away her fame. Of course Sanji accepted as he had been challenged in a cooking competition. And at the end he won and also got himself a big fish. A fish that was supposed to come from the Grand Line.
A fish that was not available in the East Blue. An indication that the All Blue might be real. Sanji was already pumped after getting himself that fish. His dreams might just come true in this journey.
While this was happening, Smoker had already got the information that pirates ship of Going Merry was anchored in the harbor and Straw Hat Luffy along with his crew was in Logue Town. Of course, Smoker didn't waste a second and went on to the execution platform where the Straw Hat was last seen.
According to protocol, he must alert the headquarters before confronting this pirate and he actually did, though he didn't think much of this pirate. None of the pirates in East Blue could be of that calibre and he thought the headquarters were just exaggerating by giving two members of a pirate group such a high bounty.
He was a logia type user and until he faced someone who knew Haki, it would be easy to take him down. He had already inquired, Luffy and Ken weren't logia type so he didn't really care. He would just catch Straw Hat and hand him over to the Headquarters.
Smoker soon reached the place where Roger was once executed with a full platoon of marines. He might be confident in his power but he wasn't a fool to go alone. This was a single guy and the bounty meant that Straw Hat Luffy might have his own merits. It was better to make sure that Straw Hat Luffy didn't escape.
After catching Luffy, he would go after Punisher Kenny. The nickname was already a bad one and Smoker wanted nothing but to catch these two. After reaching the square, he saw Luffy standing on top of the platform looking at everything with curiosity and vigor.
It seemed like Luffy was really happy to stand there.
"Straw Hat Luffy, come down gently. You are under arrest." Smoker.
"Aleh.. Navy... I am not even in the sea. Why are you here?" Luffy was confused about how the navy had come after him. He didn't do anything wrong here.
"I am here to catch you. Now come down gently. I promise not to hurt you."
"Ahh.. Seems like I will have to run." Luffy said as he jumped on the other side of the tall platform and made a run. Nami had deliberately warned everyone not to cause trouble so he had to keep his word.
"Catch him. Don't let him run away." Smoker said as many marines were standing between his escape route. Luffy had to fight at this point to escape.
"Get out of my way." Luffy said as he stretched his feet and shouted
"Gomu Gomu No : Muchi "
This attack of Luffy worked as a wiper on a windshield as it took care of the marines that were standing against him and it threw the people to the side with a single attack.
