I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

"It's okay, there's still plenty of time before the agreed time!"

"However, it is indeed somewhat impolite to keep a lady waiting!"

After saying that, Ruf couldn't help but yawn.

Seeing Luffy's appearance, Topa asked curiously.

"Mr. Luffy looks so tired, did you not get enough rest last night?"

"Yes!"

Luffy nodded and then looked at the workers setting up the platform not far away with a hint of complaint.

"Those workers were there in the early morning, I don't know what they were doing, they were building something, and they woke me up very early!"

When he said this, Luffy was somewhat helpless.

Since Luffy's room was relatively close to the square, he could hear all the noise clearly.

"By the way, does Bellenberg have any events planned recently?"

Ruf shook his head at this.

"I'm not sure, I'm not from Belloberg!"

Although Ruff has been in Belloberg for some time, he doesn't really know much about Belloberg's customs.

"This isn't the place to talk. Let's find somewhere else!"

The noise coming from afar was quite jarring, so Luffy had no choice but to suggest that they find another place to talk.

Topa readily accepted this.

"How about we go to my shop?"

"Your shop?"

Topa was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded.

But soon, Toppa began to regret it.

They arrived at the entrance of what Luffy called the shop.

Looking at the large characters "Lingerie Store" on the signboard at the store entrance, Topa couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

She should have realized it sooner; if Luffy could sell stockings as a specialty product, how legitimate could his shop be?

"Miss Topa, why are you standing at the shop entrance? Come in quickly!"

Seeing Toppa standing at the door, Ruf immediately urged him on.

Luffy looked completely indifferent, which prompted Toppa to complain.

Shouldn't it be the men who feel awkward entering this kind of store? Why does Luffy seem so nonchalant, while I'm definitely feeling embarrassed?

Fortunately, as one of the Stonehearts, what kind of situation hadn't Toppa seen?

Fortunately, there wasn't much of a person around early in the morning, so seeing that no one was watching, Topa gritted his teeth and went inside.

The store's decor has a pink theme.

The store was also filled with all kinds of stockings.

Besides stockings, they also have some underwear and similar items.

Mannequins were dressed in various stockings and underwear sold in the store.

Even family members can't help but exude a more alluring aura after wearing these.

Some of these designs are even clearly intended for use in disreputable settings.

But it is indeed displayed openly and generously here.

This left Toppa momentarily unsure where to look, while Luffy, the man, remained completely composed.

The employee in the store was a young-looking woman who stood up and greeted Luffy sweetly when he arrived.

"Hello, big boss!"

"Yes, you've worked hard. Please give us a room; I have some business to discuss with this lady!"

"No problem, it's great that the lounge is empty right now!"

The young lady nodded in agreement and then led Luffy and Toppa to the lounge at the back of the shop.

Topa breathed a sigh of relief upon realizing that they no longer needed to talk in the shop.

After taking Luffy and Toppa to the lounge, the young lady went back to work at the front desk.

After sitting down, Topa calmed himself down and then started talking to Ruf.

"Mr. Luffy, I've seen the samples you brought yesterday, and they're excellent! I believe they'll sell very well once they're listed on the company's online store. Also, as we agreed before, I'll help you with some promotion!"

Ruf expressed his gratitude for Topa's arrangement.

"Thank you very much, Miss Topa!"

"No, it's because we're partners!"

Toppa also gave Ruf a professional smile.

"By the way, Miss Topa, Bellberg's international routes are not yet established. Could you please help us out? Of course, I will offer a small reward!"

"What reward?"

Although they are now in a cooperative relationship with Luffy, the company is not a charity.

We can't let Luffy keep taking advantage of us forever.

Ruf paused for a moment, then spoke to Topa.

“Pinocone, Miss Topa should be familiar with this place, right?”

"Of course, the famous Star of the Grand Gathering in the universe. Does that mean Mr. Luffy's reward is an invitation for me to vacation on the Star of the Grand Gathering?"

"If Miss Topa is willing, I wouldn't mind!"

"That's a real pity. I'm quite busy with work, so I'm afraid I won't have the time!"

Topa showed a regretful expression, which could be considered a tacit rejection of Luffy.

"Of course, my compensation isn't this. The company has probably always wanted to pay Pinocchio, right?"

"As expected, nothing can be hidden from you!"

Toppa nodded.

Actually, this isn't really a big secret. Pinocchio used to be the company's outpost prison, but it was later transformed by the family into what is now Grand Event Star.

The company has never given up on collecting payments from this company.

Unfortunately, it has failed all along.

"What I'm going to talk about is Pinocene!"

Although he felt a little sorry for the robin, Ruff still said.

"In Pinocchio, the remnants of order!"

Upon hearing this, Toppa raised an eyebrow.

It's big news that remnants of order remain in a harmonious territory!

If what Luffy said is true, then it's no wonder that these remnants have been able to remain hidden for so long without being discovered.

That almost certainly means there must have been a traitor within the family line.

This is great news for the company.

"This information is very valuable. If it's true, the company will cover this simple route issue!"

Volume 1: Chapter 133 Xi'er, the Working Girl

With this information, the company might be able to successfully collect payment from Pinocchio.

Therefore, this news was naturally very important to Toppa.

If they can successfully collect payment from Pinocchio, then they can build a spaceship docking station for Bellberg, let alone do so.

You could turn the entire Belleburg into a parking lot, no problem! (laughs)

After some discussion, the two finalized some details. (First published on [date])

"That's settled then! I wish Mr. Luffy great success in his business!"

After the two sides reached an agreement, Topa also sent his blessings to Ruf.

"Then I'll take your good wishes!"

Ruff also gave Toppa a slight smile.

At that moment, Toppa heard something, and then, somewhat embarrassed, Super Luffy said...

"By the way, Mr. Luffy, your stockings are really nice. I'm thinking of ordering some in my personal capacity. Is that alright?"

"Of course! Miss Topa has helped me so much, I'll just give it to you!"

It's just some stockings anyway, and the cost isn't much.

Seeing this, Toppa did not refuse.

"Thank you very much, Mr. Luffy!"

Upon hearing this, Luffy nodded.

"By the way, I wonder what style Miss Topa would like?"

"Can it be customized?"

"Of course!"

Upon hearing this, Topa's eyes lit up.

"Could you add some cutout designs?"

"can!"

"A pattern, a pattern too, like a layered snake!"

"no problem!"

"I also want decorative accessories, the finest jadeite, and I will provide those!"

"Ok!"

Upon seeing this, Toppa also made a long list of demands, which Luffy recorded in detail.

"Oh, and most importantly, the overall color scheme must be purple, and it must have a certain charm!"

After noting down Topa's request, Ruf looked at Topa and asked.

"Only this?"

"That's all, thank you so much!"

Upon hearing this, Topa looked at Luffy somewhat embarrassed.

After all, I got a little excited just now and inadvertently made quite a few requests.

However, the thought of Lady Emerald wearing the stockings that I had specially made for her came to mind.

This made Toppa suddenly feel a heat in his nose.

I wiped it off, and thankfully this time there was no nosebleed.

This relieved Topa; if he had gotten a nosebleed in front of others, he would have been utterly humiliated.

"what happened?"

Seeing Toppa suddenly touch his nose, Ruf asked him a question with some confusion.

"It's nothing, my nose just suddenly feels a little itchy!"

Topa said somewhat awkwardly.

Luffy didn't delve too deeply into this matter.
