"Isn't this supposed to be alcohol?"
And it felt like the prescription was quite strong.
At this moment, Luffy seemed to have thought of something and turned to look at Clara.
Clara, completely unsuspecting, was holding the tea that Seele handed her.
"Clara, you're not allowed to drink!"
Ruff instinctively snapped at Clara.
Just as Clara's lips touched the straw and she was about to drink, Luffy's voice startled her.
"What's wrong, Brother Luffy?"
Clara looked at Luffy with a hint of grievance, thinking that she had done something wrong.
"I'm sorry, Clara, there seems to be something wrong with this tea. Please don't drink it!"
Luffy looked at Clara with some apology, after all, although the situation was urgent, he had yelled at Clara.
"I see, then Clara won't drink it!"
Upon hearing this, Clara very considerately placed the untouched teacup on the chair beside her.
Why aren't you two drinking? Don't you like it?
Although Clara was successfully rescued, Seele was hit by the attack.
She was the first to drink, and by this time, Seele had drunk most of the tea in her cup.
Seele's condition also seemed a bit off.
A blush crept onto her originally fair cheeks.
Her eyes gradually became unfocused, and when she saw that Luffy and Clara hadn't drunk the tea she had bought, Seele's face turned pitiful.
"Are you two disgusted by the tea I bought? Waaah~"
Seeing Seele's appearance, Luffy quickly asked.
"Seele, are you drunk?"
Upon hearing this, Seele immediately retorted.
"Nonsense! I was just drinking tea, how could I possibly get drunk!"
As if afraid that Luffy wouldn't be able to handle it, Seele took another sip of the tea in her hand.
This made Seele's blush deepen.
Now Luffy can probably confirm that Seele is truly drunk.
"Seele, don't you think there's something wrong with the taste of this tea?"
"It tastes spicy, no wonder it's Xianzhou tea, the flavor is really special!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy fell silent.
She felt that this was the taste of Fairy Boat Tea.
"Big Brother Luffy, what do we do now?"
Clara, standing beside Seele, looked at the drunk Seele and asked anxiously.
Luffy immediately got up and helped the swaying Seele to a chair.
"Ugh! Luffy, you're so mean! Men and women shouldn't touch each other!"
Seele then wore a shy expression, which left Luffy speechless.
I should have taken a picture of Seele drunk with my phone and let her see it properly when she woke up!
However, after thinking about it, Luffy decided it was better to forget about it.
Let's give Seele some face!
"Clara, could you please keep an eye on Seele here? I'm going to see if I can find the winery where Seele bought her tea and ask what's going on!"
"Okay, Brother Luffy, you can go without worry. I'll take good care of Sister Seele!"
Upon hearing this, Clara nodded very seriously.
With Clara watching over him, Luffy felt relatively at ease.
After confirming that Seele was alright, Luffy followed the direction Seele had gone to find the winery where she had bought tea.
Volume 1: Chapter 185 Fiery Tea
Luffy quickly found the tea shop that Seele had bought.
After all, Seele couldn't possibly go far to buy it. Following the path Seele took, Luffy soon saw a shop called Du's Tea House.
Seeing this, Luffy immediately went inside.
"Would you like some of the finest tea, sir?"
The sight of guests brightened the tea shop owner's eyes.
"Boss, tell me, did a purple-haired girl buy something from you just now?"
Upon hearing that the person had come to inquire about something, the shop owner's face immediately fell.
He waved his hand and said somewhat displeasedly.
"This guest, if you want to buy tea or wine, then yes, if not... then of course I can tell you!"
The boss was about to kick Luffy out, but when he saw the lightsaber in Luffy's hand, his expression changed instantly.
Clearly, the boss is a wise and shrewd person who knows when to yield!
"I'm asking you, was it you who sold her alcohol as tea?"
Upon hearing this, the boss immediately shook his head and said...
"I'm innocent, sir! I did sell her tea!"
"I heard that people on the Immortal Ship can have their heads reattached after being severed. I wonder if that's true?"
Upon hearing this, the boss's legs immediately began to tremble.
"My sir, I'm not lying. Although the tea smells like wine, tastes like wine, and has the same effects as wine, it is indeed tea!"
"Very well, you're still pretty stubborn!"
Upon seeing this, the shop owner quickly took out a piece of paper from the counter.
"It's true. Look, this is our shop's business license. It stipulates that we can only sell tea here! We can't sell alcohol!"
Upon hearing this, Luffy frowned, then took the license from the boss and began to examine it.
What's written above is exactly the same as what the boss said.
Moreover, the tea's test report is also included.
Although it resembles alcohol, it does belong to the category of tea.
Strong Flaming Tea, I think that's what it's called.
The boss really wasn't lying.
Seeing this, Luffy also withdrew his lightsaber.
The boss breathed a sigh of relief, but the matter was far from over.
"Even if you did sell tea, you didn't tell her about the tea's condition, did you? This constitutes deceiving a consumer. Believe me, I'll report you to the Bureau of Land and Resources!"
Upon hearing this, a look of horror instantly appeared on the boss's face.
"Brother, I was wrong, please don't sue me!"
If the matter is really taken to the local authorities, his tea shop might actually be shut down.
"It's too late to beg for mercy now. Why didn't you think this would happen when you sold her this thing?"
Luffy was unmoved by his pleas for mercy.
"Brother, as long as you don't sue the Earth Balance Bureau, everything is negotiable, right? Or should I return the money to you?"
Do you think I'm the kind of person who'd be after a few bucks?
After saying that, Luffy immediately pressed the call button and dialed the Earth Balance Division.
Soon, the Diheng Division branch located in Jinren Lane sent someone over to inquire about the situation.
After learning the details, the steward of the Earth Balance Division immediately made a judgment.
Compensation followed by business suspension and rectification!
Soon, the shop owner, with a long face, followed the steward of the Earth Balance Bureau back to pay the fine.
After successfully avenging Seele, Luffy returned to Seele's side.
"Brother Luffy, you're back!"
Clara was overjoyed to see Luffy return.
"Quick, stop Sister Xi'er! She seems to be going on a drunken rampage!"
Clara said to Luffy with a hint of helplessness.
Only then did Luffy realize that Clara was pressing down on Seele, trying to restrict Seele's movements with her petite body.
However, all of this seemed to be in vain. Even with Clara in her possession, Seele still walked the world!
Right at Seele's feet, the three empty tea cups she had bought earlier sat there all alone.
"What's going on? Why is Seele drinking this tea?"
Looking at the empty cup, Luffy said with a hint of helplessness.
Seele had only drunk her own cup of tea, but now she had also drunk the tea from Luffy's and Clara's cups.
"I'm sorry, Sister Xier insisted on drinking it, and I couldn't stop her!"
Clara said apologetically.
After all, she was just a child, and her strength was indeed not as great as that of the adult Seele.
Luffy, of course, wouldn't blame Clara.
"Luffy, how come you have two?"
Now even more drunk, Seele swayed and looked at Luffy.
Seele was genuinely puzzled as she watched Luffy split into two.
"Alright, Seele, you're a little drunk. I'll help you back to rest now!"
At this moment, Luffy also hurriedly spoke to Seele.
Although Seele was a little drunk, she could at least listen to Luffy.
But now that Seele has drunk even more fiery tea, she naturally won't listen.
"No, no! I don't want to go back, I want to go play!"
Seele started acting like a spoiled child.
I wonder if Seele will remember this when she wakes up.
"Alright, Seele, stop fooling around!"
Compared to Seele, who was like a child, the young Clara gently comforted Seele.
Seeing this, Luffy couldn't help but sigh.
Clara, she's the one who could be my mother!
Of course, now is not the time for sentimentality. Luffy quickly stepped forward and took Seele from Clara's hands.
"No, you're bullying me! I want to go play!"
At this moment, Seele was struggling in Luffy's arms.
Fortunately, Luffy was strong enough that Seele was not able to break free.
