"Hey, Okuba, why haven't you paid this month's operating fee yet! Do you have to wait for us to collect it in person? You should know that the price we charge will not be the same price you paid before." A fat catfish man with two wretched mustaches raised walked slowly into the store, then looked at Okuba with a sneer on his face.

"That's right. It's illegal to open a store in this residential area. If you don't pay the operating fees, it's hard for us to guarantee that you can continue to operate!" others echoed.

"It's just the 1st today. I'll hand it over after I'm done with my work. Isn't it still a little after midnight? Are you here to cause trouble?" Okuba was naturally not afraid of them. He drew out a big knife and looked fiercely at the group of fishmen in front of him!

"Haha, so what if you're looking for trouble! I'm short of money recently, so hand over all your money quickly! Otherwise, I'll make you pay for it!" The fat catfish man looked at Okuba with disdain, took out a musket from his waist and pointed it at Okuba's head.

Seeing this, the other customers were so frightened that they dared not stay any longer and fled in droves. Soon, only Xiaoba, Okuba and Fat Catfish were left in the store!

Okuba's face turned pale, and when she saw the musket, her whole body stiffened. This was not something she could resist. It seemed that she would be blackmailed by these bastards today.

"I'll count to three and put down the toy in your hand, otherwise I can't guarantee what the consequences will be!" Just when Okuba's face was covered in cold sweat and the fat catfish looked proud, Xiao Ba spoke lightly and put the last takoyaki in the lunch box in front of him into his mouth.

"Kid, stop meddling in other people's business! No one on this street dares to meddle in our affairs!" Seeing someone helping him, the fat catfish man became furious and turned his gun directly towards Xiao Ba.

However, Xiao Ba was not at all on guard against his gun and was still savoring the takoyaki carefully. Because he ate too fast, he burned his mouth and quickly drank ice water to cool it down.

"Hmph! Boy, you don't take us seriously! Let me show you how powerful we are!" The fat catfish man got angry when he saw Xiao Ba's disdainful look at him, and fired directly with the musket in his hand.

"Bang!"

"ah!"

The gunshot and Okuba's scream rang out at the same time, but her scream stopped abruptly the next second. She found that Xiaoba was unharmed. The bullet hit Xiaoba's head and deformed and fell directly on the table.

"I told you to put away your scary toys!" Xiao Ba looked at the fat catfish man and emphasized again!

Who is he? He is the crew member with the highest level of physical training in the entire Fallen Angel Pirates. He dares to withstand the attacks of the great pirates. What is a musket to him?

"Hmph! Stop pretending! I don't believe anyone can block bullets with their body!" The catfish man couldn't believe what he saw. The musket in his hand banged, and every bullet hit Xiao Ba's body, but they were no different from the first bullet. They all deformed and fell to the ground.

As his bullets ran out, Xiao Ba walked slowly and steadily to the front of the Catfish Man. The Catfish Man and his men were so frightened that their calves were trembling!

"Is it fun?" Xiao Ba asked.

“Not fun!”

"Why don't you get out of here! Are you waiting for me to treat you to takoyaki?" Xiao Ba said domineeringly.

"Get out of here, get out of here!" The catfish and the fishmen quickly climbed out of the door and fled in a hurry.

"Wow! I haven't seen you for a few years. You've become so strong and more manly!" Okuba looked at Xiaoba in disbelief and praised him generously.

"Yes, I've encountered a lot of things during these years of going out to sea!" Now there are only two people left in the store, and Xiao Ba is not as reserved as before!

"I heard from the neighbors that you have been looking for me?"

"Yes! It's a pity that I went out to sea. Now that I'm back, the first thing I did was to come here and take a look. I didn't expect you to really come back!" Xiao Ba said.

"You don't still like me as much as you did when we were kids, do you?" Okuba joked.

"Yeah! It hasn't changed!"

Okuba was stunned.

Xiao Ba suddenly looked at Okuba lovingly: "Okuba, how about being my girlfriend? I really mean it! How about we get married on the sea? I'll show you the scenery on the sea, and how about we open our favorite takoyaki restaurants all over the world!"

Okuba was stunned by this sudden confession and was at a loss for words. It took her a while to react. "We've been strangers for so many years! Isn't it a bad idea to talk about this right after we met? Unless a meteor can cross the boundless ocean and land on Fishman Island, I have to think about it!"

Xiao Ba looked disappointed. It seemed that he was rejected. Where did the meteor come from in the sea?

Besides, it was inappropriate to bring this up right after they met! Aside from their childhood memories, the two hadn't seen each other for over a decade.

However, things did not go as planned. Just when Xiao Ba was feeling depressed, suddenly, a huge fireball shot directly towards them from the Pearl Tower, the highest point of Fishman Island!

"Bang!"

A loud noise echoed throughout the residential area and landed in front of Xiao Ba and the others.

"This is a meteor!" Xiao Ba was excited.

"Yes...right!" Okuba was also a little confused. Is this God's will?

"Oh my God! How could I meet that female Tyrannosaurus on Fishman Island! Fortunately, I am a nature-type! Otherwise, I would have been torn to pieces by her!" After a while, a man with flames all over his body suddenly crawled out of the big pit in front of the door, rubbing his head and muttering.

"Hey! This is a takoyaki shop! Boss, boss lady, give me takoyaki! Bring as many as you can!" Ace's eyes lit up and he walked straight into the shop without even looking at Xiaoba and Okuba who had their eyes wide open. He sat at the bar and began to wait for the food.
