I'm a pirate on Star Iron.

"Is there anything delicious?"

Upon hearing that there was something delicious to eat, Hook immediately squeezed between the two of them, looking at Luffy with starry eyes.

"Of course, what does Hook want to eat? It's on me today!"

"Really, that's great!"

Hook, being a child, also cheered.

"Let me think... I remember there's a nice restaurant not far from here, let's eat there!"

Seele and Hook had no questions about Luffy's arrangements.

Led by Luffy, the three of them entered a restaurant.

The restaurant wasn't particularly luxurious, but it was exceptionally cozy.

It was also because it was almost lunchtime, and the cable car station was not far away.

Therefore, quite a few people come here to eat.

Most of them looked like people from the lower classes.

The three of them found a somewhat secluded seat under the guidance of the waiter.

"Order whatever you want!"

Luffy handed the menu from the waiter to Seele and Hook.

As Seele opened the menu, she discovered a fatal problem.

That is, she seems to be illiterate!

The words on the menu looked so familiar, but Seele just couldn't recognize them.

Moreover, this restaurant's menu doesn't have any pictures for reference.

This left Seele with no idea what was on it.

But now that things have come to this, Seele is too embarrassed to admit that she doesn't actually know how to read.

With that in mind, Seele had no choice but to grit her teeth and look at the menu in her hand.

At this moment, Seele felt incredibly regretful. She should have learned some words from Natasha before.

Otherwise, the situation would be truly awkward now.

"That brother Luffy, Hook can't read!"

At this moment, Hook, with a droopy face, said somewhat dejectedly.

As a child from the lower class, she had hardly ever received any formal education.

Naturally, like Seele, he didn't know many characters.

However, Hooke does have one advantage.

As a child, even if you say you don't know any words, you won't be looked at differently.

Sure enough, after hearing Hook say he couldn't read, Luffy explained to Hook what the words on the menu meant.

This made Seele, who was standing to the side, feel that her chance had come.

As long as you listen carefully to the names of the dishes Luffy mentions, you can order those dishes when the time comes.

That way, the truth about not being able to read would not be exposed.

So Seele pricked up her ears and listened carefully to Luffy and Hook's conversation.

"Hook, these words mean 'kids' meal,' and the food inside is all things kids like to eat!"

"Really? Then Hook will take the kids' meal!"

With just one sentence, Hook and Luffy finished ordering their food.

Naturally, Luffy wouldn't need to read out the names of the next dishes.

Seele's plan was ruined as soon as it began...

"Xier, have you ordered yet?"

Luffy, who had just finished ordering for Hook, spoke to Seele, who had been looking at the menu for a long time.

"Okay, I've made my choice!"

Upon hearing this, Xi'er forced herself to speak.

After hesitating for a moment, Seele spoke to Luffy.

"I'd also like one of those kids' meals, is that alright?"

"Miss Seele, are you sure?"

Book 1: Chapter 92 Luffy Becomes the Boss

After glancing at the bell-shaped menu in his hand, Luffy hesitated for a moment before reminding Seele.

"Hey, Seele, the kids' meal is only for children under twelve. Are you under twelve?"

Luffy looked Seele up and down.

Is he twelve years old?

"Of course I'm an adult. I was just joking with you. Let me check again!"

As she spoke, Seele covered her slightly flushed cheeks with the menu.

Fortunately, Luffy didn't notice anything unusual and started teasing Hook.

Looking at the menu now was like looking at a divine book.

After thinking it over, Seele made up her mind.

"Then I'll take this one, this one, and that one!"

Although Seele can't read, she can still understand the prices.

After thinking it over, Seele decided to choose three dishes that looked inexpensive.

"Okay, let me see what you chose?"

Luffy, who was playing with Hook, turned his head and looked at the three dishes that Seele was pointing to.

"A pot of tea, a pack of tissues, and a piece of bread?"

Looking at the three items Seele chose, Luffy was immediately puzzled.

"That Seele, are you sure it's just these three?"

"Huh? That's right!"

Although she was a little embarrassed that she had chosen these items, at this point, Seele couldn't bring herself to say that she had just picked them randomly.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and confirm it.

Seeing Seele's insistence, Luffy had no choice but to call the waiter to order.

After telling the staff about Hook's kids' meal, Seele's tissue bread, tea, and service, I was very impressed.

"Then please bring me one of your restaurant's signature dishes!"

"Your signature dish? Great! Is there anything else you'd like?"

"there is none left!"

After ordering, the waiter left and went to the kitchen.

Seeing Luffy's actions, Seele was also somewhat dumbfounded.

I should have just asked for one of their signature dishes.

Then she won't have to rack her brains to think about the names of the dishes on the menu!

Why not just order a signature dish like Luffy?

Thinking about this, Seele couldn't help but feel a little regretful.

"Brother Luffy, with so many things, doesn't it cost a lot of money?"

At this moment, Hook suddenly asked a question.

Since it was their first time in the Upper District, Hook and Seele were unsure about the prices there.

"It's alright, I just recently acquired a few processing plants! I can make a fortune from those plants in the future!"

"A processing plant, what does it process?"

Hearing this, Xi'er asked with some curiosity.

Seeing that Seele was interested, Luffy cautiously looked around and only spoke in a low voice after confirming that no one was eavesdropping.

"Stockings!"

"what?"

Seele rubbed her ears, somewhat unsure if she had misheard.

"That's right, it's stockings!"

Seemingly noticing Seele's somewhat incredulous look, Luffy spoke again.

"I think our Belloberg stockings are undoubtedly top-notch in terms of both texture and luster! I believe we can make a lot of money from this in the future!"

Once Yalilo VI and the universe reconnect, I will sell these stockings produced by Belloberg to people on other planets.

Given the quality of Belloberg stockings, they must be making a fortune!

"You seem quite confident!"

Looking at Luffy's confident face, Seele couldn't help but think of the gamblers in those boxing clubs.

Even when gambling, he makes bold pronouncements just like Luffy.

Then during the match, they basically started talking nonsense until the match ended, after which they all fell silent.

After all, is making money from stockings really a good thing?

As someone who prefers bare legs, Seele has actually never worn stockings much.

After all, stockings aren't a necessity, so naturally there are fewer of them.

The only person who has ever seen someone wear stockings is probably their real boss, Natasha.

At this moment, Seele was also trying hard to recall what Natasha looked like when she wore stockings.

It must be said that when she went to Natasha's clinic for treatment after getting injured in a fight, she did see other patients at the clinic secretly glancing at Natasha's stockings.

Is this thing really that appealing?

Seele didn't understand; she was simply shocked!

This made Seele wonder if she should try wearing stockings herself.

By the way, does Bronya wear stockings too? Next time I see her, I can ask her what it feels like to wear stockings!

"I didn't expect you to be rich, Luffy. Opening a factory must cost a lot of money, right?"

Seele couldn't help but tease.

Luffy smiled slightly at this.

"This is all thanks to Sambo!"

After racking up a huge amount of gold from Sambo, Luffy suddenly found himself with a fortune.

Luffy, who was strolling along the road, had originally been thinking about how to spend this huge sum of money.

Then, as I was wandering around, I unknowingly came to a hosiery factory.

It just so happens that the original owner of the hosiery factory is planning to sell it.

So Luffy waved his hand and took over the factory.

Then Ruff felt that wasn't enough, so he bought all of Belleburg's hosiery factories.

Fortunately, the factories in Belleburg that produce this stuff are mostly small workshops.
