I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

After all, she is still young, and she must be a little tired after shopping for so long.

So everyone agreed that Luffy and Clara would stay here, while Furibas and the other two would return to the hotel after putting their purchases away and then come to meet Luffy and Clara.

After Furibas and the others left, Luffy looked at Clara, who was still standing, and pointed to the empty seat next to her.

"Clara, please sit down!"

"Ok!"

Upon hearing this, Clara obediently sat down next to Luffy.

"Brother Luffy, are you very tired?"

"After carrying things for so long, my arms are indeed a bit sore."

Luffy rubbed his arm and said with a hint of helplessness.

"Then Clara, why don't you give Brother Luffy a shoulder massage?"

Before Luffy could say anything, Clara put her hand on his shoulder and began to massage him earnestly.

Enjoying Clara's massage, Luffy did not refuse.

Who could refuse a massage from a cute little girl?

Another half hour passed, and when Luffy glanced at the time, he couldn't help but frown.

"Strange, why have Furibas and the others been gone for so long?"

Although Chang Le Street is indeed quite a distance from here, half an hour has passed and the three of them still haven't returned, which makes Lu Fu a little puzzled.

So Luffy didn't hesitate and called Seele.

The call was quickly connected, and Seele's voice came from the other end.

【What's wrong, Luffy? Why are you calling me all of a sudden?】

"I'm a little confused," Seele asked on the other end of the phone.

"It's nothing, I just noticed you haven't come back for so long, so I wanted to ask if something happened?"

Upon hearing Luffy's words, Seele responded with a somewhat apologetic tone.

Sorry, after discussing it, we decided to leave our things on the train to avoid carrying a bunch of stuff back. So we're still on the train now!

"Is that so?"

Upon hearing this, Luffy expressed his understanding.

After all, the place where Luffy stopped the train was quite far away.

"I understand. I'll show Clara around here first!"

"I'll talk to Furibas and the others. I'll call you again when we get back!"

After finishing his conversation with Seele, Luffy hung up the phone.

"Let's go, Clara. Seele and the others probably won't be back for a while, so it'll just be the two of us shopping from now on!"

"Is that so? Then where do we go?"

Upon hearing this, Clara nodded obediently.

"There's an old saying in Xianzhou: 'Good wine needs no bush.' Why don't we go check out the alley next door? Maybe we'll find something interesting?"

After thinking for a moment, Ruf pointed excitedly to a small alleyway to the side and said...

Compared to the bustling main street, the alley was relatively deserted.

It looks very quiet and secluded.

"Oh well!"

Although Clara didn't think there would be anything interesting in that alley, seeing Luffy's excited expression, she didn't intend to dampen his enthusiasm.

He nodded and agreed.

"Alright, let's go!"

With that, Luffy took Clara's soft little hand and stepped into the alley without hesitation.

Volume 1: Chapter 161 The Hundred-Year-Old Bachelor

Ruff's guess was clearly correct.

The two of them actually found a pastry shop in the alley that claimed to have a history of a hundred years.

Although for the people of Xianzhou, who have a lifespan of several hundred years, a century-old shop may not be a rare thing.

But I must say, the snacks sold at this shop are really delicious.

After trying it, Luffy bought some to give to Furibas and the others later.

"So, Clara, I wasn't lying, was I? There really are some great shops in alleys like this, aren't there?"

"Ok!"

Clara ate the pastry in her hand with a look of complete agreement.

However, perhaps because their luck had run out, the two did not encounter any more shops for a period of time afterward.

They even got lost in the maze of alleyways.

At this moment, Luffy looked at the navigation in his hand and couldn't help but feel overwhelmed.

"Go this way? No! Then go that way? No, that's not right either!"

After looking at the navigation for a long time, Luffy still couldn't find his way out.

"Brother Luffy, what should we do now?"

Clara seemed a little worried when she saw that the two were lost.

"Don't worry, even if the navigation doesn't work, we can ask someone else!"

Although no one was passing through the alley, Luffy could still see what looked like a courtyard not far away.

So Luffy reluctantly went up and knocked on the door.

Fortunately, there seemed to be someone inside. Soon, a head peeked out from the crack in the door, looking at Luffy with a wary expression.

"Who?"

Upon hearing this, Luffy revealed the purpose of his visit.

"Excuse me, buddy, do you know how to get out of here? We've accidentally gotten lost!"

Upon hearing this, the man looked Luffy up and down and Clara behind him, then blurted out a question.

"Are you barbarians?"

"Outer beings" is the term used by the Immortal Ship to refer to visitors from other planets.

"Yes, I came here for tourism, but I accidentally got lost here!"

Upon hearing that the two were outsiders, the man's wariness lessened somewhat.

Looking at the clothes worn by Luffy and Clara, they certainly don't seem to belong to the main body of the Immortal Ship.

Upon realizing that Luffy and his companion were not from the Immortal Ship, the man seemed to have a sudden realization.

Looking at Luffy, a smile appeared on his face.

"So you got lost. The alleys around here are indeed difficult to navigate. If you don't mind, how about I take you out?"

"Thank you very much, sir!"

Seeing this, Luffy did not refuse.

"It's nothing, we Xianzhou people are just warm and hospitable!"

As he spoke, the man walked out of the courtyard.

This person was dressed in traditional fairy boat attire, with an unremarkable appearance, the kind of person you wouldn't notice in a crowd.

"May I ask your name, sir?"

"Just call me White Peach Blossom!"

The man smiled and introduced himself.

White peach blossoms.

Upon hearing the name, Luffy suppressed the urge to make a sarcastic remark.

For a grown man to have such a feminine-sounding name is really...

But considering that he and Clara still needed him to leave the alley, Luffy could only pretend not to notice.

Led by Bai Taohua, the group once again wandered through the alleyways.

The three of them got bored and started chatting as they walked.

Are you two here for tourism in Xianzhou?

Bai Taohua casually asked Lu Fu and the other person.

"Yeah, I never expected to get lost here!"

Luffy said somewhat embarrassedly.

"Haha, that's right. Even some locals might not be able to find the exit of this alley. Only those of us who live in the alley know how to get out!"

Bai Taohua explained with a smile.

"Since you two are here to visit the Immortal Ship, have you decided where you want to go?"

"Not yet, Brother Bai. As a native of Xianzhou, do you know any tourist attractions that only locals know about?"

Upon hearing this, the white peach blossom pretended to think for a moment before answering Luffy.

What do you think of Jianmu?

"Jianmu, is that place really open to visitors?"

"Nearby is definitely out of the question, but something a bit further away is fine! You came to the Immortal Ship, didn't you want to witness the legendary miracles performed by the Medicine Master?"

"No, we just came to the Immortal Ship for a visit!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy offered an explanation.

"Is that so? Then I'm sorry. After all, most of the non-humans who come to the Immortal Ship are here to seek immortality. I thought you two were the same!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Taohua also showed a slightly apologetic expression.

"Immortality? Does the Immortal Ship have a way to grant immortality?"

Clara became curious upon hearing the word "immortality".

That's about achieving immortality! It would be a lie to say I wasn't curious!

"There must be a way to achieve immortality, otherwise why would we Immortal Ship people be recognized as an immortal species?"

As Bai Taohua spoke, she asked the question as if it were unintentional.

"But I'm curious, what are your thoughts on immortality?"

"If I could live forever, I would definitely want to!"

Before Clara could even think, Luffy spoke without hesitation.

Upon hearing that Luffy harbored thoughts of immortality, Bai Taohua revealed a triumphant smile.

However, because he was leading the way, Luffy and Clara didn't notice.

At this moment, the white peach blossom walking in front suddenly stopped, which forced Luffy and Clara to stop as well.

"What's wrong? Are we almost at the exit?"

When they saw the white peach blossom stop, Lu Fu thought they could finally get out.

But Bai Taohua shook her head, glanced around to make sure no one else was there, and then asked the two of them with a mysterious look.

"Do you two desire immortality?"
