Pirates: Invasion of the Heavens

Chapter 188

"I'm starving!"

Luffy, who was full of energy a moment ago, now stuck his tongue out and looked weak.

Ever since they entered the rebel army's territory, they knew that it would be difficult to replenish their supplies here.

Therefore, the supplies they bought at the port had to be used in a planned manner.

Although they had already given Luffy as much as possible, Luffy's stomach was like a bottomless pit.

Therefore, when they saw the town from afar, Luffy rushed out like a wisp of smoke.

The others couldn't stop him, but the straw hats were more or less used to Luffy's capricious behavior.

However, after running around Fickwall a few times, Luffy only saw lifeless people. He couldn't find a place to eat at all.

Luffy wandered around the streets like a zombie. He looked up at the sun in the sky as if he was about to cry.

Sitting on the broken chair, Luffy felt like his soul was about to fly out of his mouth.

He looked like a salted fish that had been left out for months.

At this moment, a faint fragrance drifted into Luffy's nose.

Luffy's nose twitched and he opened his eyes with difficulty.

An old woman with a crooked body was standing in front of him. She had a kind smile on her face as she handed a rice ball to him.

Luffy instantly came to life as he opened his mouth and bit into the rice ball.

Without chewing, Luffy swallowed the rice ball.

After eating half of the rice ball, Luffy finally recovered some strength. He reached out to take the remaining half of the rice ball and threw it into his mouth.

The old woman sat next to Luffy and looked at Luffy with a smile.

Then, she took out another rice ball from the small bag on her back. After looking at it, she handed it to Luffy.

"Young man, you must be starving!

There's more here. Eat it! "

One rice ball couldn't fill Luffy's stomach. Luffy was still hungry.

Luffy took the rice ball and was about to put it into his mouth, but he stopped in the end.

Luffy closed his mouth and said, "Granny, is it okay if I eat your rice balls?"

Luffy was no fool. He knew the situation in the town.

Two rice balls might not be enough to fill the gaps between Luffy's teeth, but it might be enough for the old lady to eat for a day.

The smile on the granny's face didn't change. She took out a rice ball from her bag and showed it to Luffy. "I still have more here. Don't worry and eat!"

Luffy smiled and said, "Thank you, Granny. You've really helped me a lot!"

After saying that, Luffy bit into the rice ball and revealed a bright smile.

However, the granny had no intention of eating the rice ball in her hand. She just looked at Luffy with a smile.

Luffy's face puffed up like a hamster's and moved as he chewed.

While eating, Luffy said with a lisp, "Granny, don't you want to eat with me?"

The granny shook her head and said, "No. For people of my age, watching young people eat is already a kind of happiness!"

As she said that, the granny put the last rice ball in her hand between her and Luffy. "You must be hungry. This is also for you!"

After saying that, the granny stood up and walked away.

Luffy didn't know why, but he didn't pick up the rice ball.

After thinking for a long time, he picked up the rice ball and broke it in half.

He wanted to stop the granny and give her the bigger half.

Suddenly, someone grabbed Luffy's shoulder. Luffy looked back and saw that it was Jinping.

The other members of the Straw Hats were behind him.

Luffy smiled and said, "It's you. Listen to me. I just met …"

"Luffy, be honest with me. Do you know how much effort it took us to find you?" Before Luffy finished, Nami complained.

Luffy waved his hand and said, "Wait a minute, I still have to …"

But when he looked back, he found that the granny was gone.

Solon said, "Don't be stubborn. The ninjas have already gone to collect information. We have to hurry up!"

Usopp complained, "It's all your fault. We wasted so much time because you were lost. We had to look for you while looking for Luffy!"

Robin looked at the rice ball in Luffy's hand and said, "Hey, Luffy, where did your rice ball come from?"
