The girls, or to be precise, Perona and Mai Hongji, happily went to the amusement park in St. Pruitt, the 'carnival town', to have fun.
Haoxue said hello to everyone and went to visit old friends in the back streets of Saint-Pruit.
Victor, accompanied by Robin, went to the department store to buy some new zipper samples.
The largest department store in Saint-Pruit - [Rainbow Hypermarket].
"This guest! You really know the goods~ We have all kinds of new zippers here!"
On the fifth floor of the mall, an enthusiastic salesperson greeted Victor and Robin cheerfully: "What style do you want? This new style of resin zipper is particularly popular!"
Victor studied the zipper samples on the counter carefully, then raised his head and said, "I want to see your latest trial works."
The salesperson raised his eyebrows and said proudly: "How can I say that you know the goods? We have indeed just received a new trial piece here."
As he spoke, he turned around, rummaged through the cabinet, and then took out a box.
"Please see, this is the latest invisible zipper designed by fashion design master Mr. Whitcomb L. Judson. As long as you use it, you no longer have to worry about the sprocket teeth on your dress being seen by others.
.”
Victor was obviously interested. He touched his chin and said softly to himself: "Yeah...why haven't I thought of it? Invisible zipper...invisible..."
Robin looked at Victor, who was obviously deep in thought, and her big eyes narrowed with a smile. She turned to look at the salesperson and asked with a smile: "Excuse me, does your store sell this invisible zipper?"
The salesperson nodded cheerfully: "Of course! Of course! Although it is a trial work, it has been registered as a patent and has started trial sales in major stores. If you only plan to buy this trial work, you will get a discount of 1,000 berries."
Although the price was at least 10 times higher than that of a normal zipper, since Victor liked it, Robin naturally paid for it happily.
After a long time, Victor came back to his senses. He found himself sitting on a bench in the rest area of the shopping mall on the third floor, and Robin sitting next to him was reading a book.
"Ah, sorry, I was just thinking about the fruit's ability, so..." Before Victor could finish his apology, he was stopped by Robin's smile.
"It's okay, Victor." Robin said with a smile: "But, can you accompany me to buy clothes? I saw a promotion when I passed by the fourth floor."
Victor touched Robin's head. After her face quickly turned red, Victor smiled and said:
"It would be my pleasure, beautiful lady."

Backstreet of Saint-Pruit, ‘Mr. Fighting Fish’ pub.
"Haizotou? Why are you here?"
It was mid-afternoon, the fan on the ceiling of the tavern was turning slowly, and the scattered drinkers gathered in pairs and tables to chat.
The owner of the tavern was a chubby old man with a white beard. When he was cleaning glasses out of boredom, he looked up and saw Haoxue walking into the tavern, and said happily:
"I haven't seen you for a while! What's the old rule?"
Haoxue sat in front of the bar. The stool suddenly creaked and almost collapsed under his huge body. He put the pipe in his hand on the bar and showed a smile to the bar owner:
"Long time no see, old Bill. This time I want to drink a glass of tequila, so take out your collection."
The tavern owner Bill stopped wiping the glass and looked at Haoxue steadily. After a while, he turned around and took out a half-filled bottle of tequila from the wine cabinet and poured a glass for Haoxue.
After handing it to him, he asked softly: "Haizotou...are you really going to go to sea again?"
Haoxue picked up the wine glass and drank it in one gulp, wiped the corners of his mouth and said with a smile:
"Yes. I have met a young man who is energetic, courageous and powerful. I have made a decision to go to sea with him."
"You old guy...you owe this young man a favor, right?" Old Bill knew Haoxue's character quite well: "Don't forget why you retired back then!"
"Originally, it was part of the reason." Haoxue shook his head and lit the tobacco in his pipe: "But the more I get in touch with this young man, the more I feel that he will definitely be able to achieve a great career. Bill, Fish-Man Island
You also know that the situation has become increasingly serious after Tiger's death. Even if Jinbei voluntarily joins the Shichibukai as a bridge between Fishman Island and the World Government, the world is still full of discrimination against mermaids and fishmen."
Old Bill took out a crumpled cigarette, lit it and took two puffs. While blowing out the smoke, he sighed: "Yes... humans have deep-rooted prejudice against us fishmen and half-fishmen."
Haoxue smiled: "But, this young man gave me hope! An opportunity to change the image of the fish people in an honest and fair way in front of the world! Bill, I sincerely hope that I can contribute to him!"
Old Bill also laughed: "You old guy, do you still have your skills? Don't die!"
The two have known each other for many years, and Old Bill can tell from Haoxue's tone that he is ready to follow his captain to do a dangerous but significant thing. As a friend, Old Bill will not stop him, he will only open a bottle of good wine
, congratulations to my old friend for deciding to go to sea again.
Umizatou, let the world see how powerful a master of fish-man karate is!

‘Carnival Town’ Saint-Pruit Center Amusement Park-[Carnival Amusement Park].
Perona, who was holding a four-layer ice cream and licking it, suddenly got excited and stood still.
"Pepei, what's wrong with you?" Wu Hongji, wearing sunglasses, was sipping her iced juice. When she saw Perona suddenly standing still, she asked curiously.
"...It can't be wrong! There must be a bad woman approaching my brother!" Perona looked fiercely, crushed the ice cream cone in her hand to pieces, and shouted in a low voice: "Master Pepe's defense radar started to alarm.
!The defense ghost group is on standby!"
As she spoke, a large number of spherical ghosts began to appear around Perona.
...Why didn't you see this kind of talent when you were practicing Haki? Wu Hongji had a trace of cold sweat on her forehead. But Perona in this state was very scary, so Wu Hongji had to freeze the ice in her hands.
The juice straw was handed to Perona's mouth and she comforted:
"Yes, yes, Pepe is the most powerful. Come, drink some juice to calm down the anger~"
Perona subconsciously took a sip of juice, and then showed a happy smile:
"...It's so sweet~ah? Why did my cone break?"
At this time, a small figure stood in front of the main entrance of the department store ‘Rainbow Hypermarket’.
