During lunch time, there is always a smell of embarrassment floating over the restaurant.
The usually lively dining atmosphere disappeared, and with the crisp sound of a spoon touching a dinner plate, some members secretly looked at Eric and Kuangsan.
Eric sat on pins and needles in the dining chair, feeling uncomfortable all over. Although he had experienced Esdeath once, he still felt a little embarrassed this time.
But Kuang San was as usual, even helping Eric pick up food from time to time, and people around him sighed "Oh~" from time to time.
"Captain Eric." At this time, Chiron, who was on duty at the watchtower, came down: "The next island has been seen."
'Thank you, Teacher Chiron! 'Eric was extremely grateful to Chiron for rescuing him from the predicament, and pushed him onto the chair: "Eat quickly, I will be your lookout."
"But I've already eaten..."
Eric flashed to the observation deck without waiting for him to finish.
Chiron understood Eric's predicament in a blink of an eye, smiled and shook his head.
Kuang San wiped his lips calmly, his movements were very natural and graceful, and he moved the chair under him without making any noise. After nodding to everyone, he left the restaurant briskly.
"Pfft" Esdeath couldn't help laughing.
Scathach turned his eyes and asked expressionlessly: "What?"
"I wanted to laugh when I saw her expression of enduring pain." Esdeath put her hands on her chin and narrowed her eyes: "I know how other people endure pain. Even if they endure it, their muscles will tremble."
"What did I think..."
"What about you?" Esdeath asked Scathach.
"I?"
"Don't you have any ideas?" Esdeath continued to ask.
"..." Scathach closed his eyes and showed a faint smile: "I will not go to bed with him until his strength completely surpasses mine."
Esdeath said funnyly: "Eric might already be better than you."
"The last time you fought with him, you were not very smart." Scathach rolled his eyes: "If you want to get into my bed, you must first defeat the gun in my hand."
"..." Esdeath was speechless at the bold words of the legendary Valkyrie of Ulster, even though she was also very brave...
People around who heard their conversation,
They all had shocked expressions.
Wendy finally had a companion, and she and Yoshino lowered their heads with their faces flushed.
…
"Why are you here too?" Eric supported Kuang San.
"Hmph, you still have the nerve to say that?" Kuang San showed an unusual temper and stretched out two fingers to pinch the tender flesh of Eric's waist: "You actually left me there alone."
"I see you're doing it with ease..." Seeing Kuang San's expression turn grim, Eric quickly changed his words: "It's my fault!"
"What did you do wrong?"
"It's all my fault anyway!"
"Huh?" The little hand holding the tender meat was rotating at ten degrees per second.
"I shouldn't leave you alone in the restaurant. I should advance and retreat with you... (Two hundred and seventy words are omitted here.)"
"Hmm~" The index finger and thumb finally let go.
Kuang San bumped his head on Eric's shoulder, and the two of them looked into the distance quietly. The outline of the island in front of them became increasingly clear -
…
The seven starting islands of the Grand Line are all different, such as Whiskey Peak. On the surface, it is a town welcoming pirates, but in reality it is a gathering place for bounty hunters.
They set their sights on bounties from pirates heading to the Grand Line, and many young and inexperienced pirates became their prey.
Another example is Devore on the seventh route, which is filled with all kinds of pirates. They are frightened by the harsh weather of the Grand Route and dare not continue to move forward or go back the way they came. .
The dangerous environment became a prison for the pirates, and the short seven-eight-day voyage became an insurmountable chasm for them, and they were trapped here. Pirates galloping on the sea turned into bandits on land, and the island of Devore was forced to become a paradise for pirates.
Of course, the island of Devore does not belong to the franchised countries. Even if the World Government knew that there was such a gathering place for pirates, it would not waste its naval forces to wipe out the pirates.
The bounty for pirate captains here is usually between 20 and 30 million, and the stronger ones are over 40 million. They carefully avoid the big sharks entering the Grand Line, and show their fangs to newcomers who are new to the Grand Line.
The only thing the pirates here can do is to wait for the arrival of the new pirate group, carve up the newcomers' belongings, and absorb their flesh and blood into their own nutrients.
"Woooo!" The horn on the observation deck was blown, and a pirate lookout saw it, which meant that most of the pirate group could see it.
"Someone new is here."
Someone laughed evilly, and the pirates sitting together stood up and drew out the sharp-edged firearms they carried at their waists.
"Hickman, check their origins."
"good!"
The man in charge of intelligence gathering responded and took out a thick stack of wanted posters from his bag.
"Keep the change, please……"
Before he started flipping through, the captain stopped his work.
"Uh, why..." Hickman was puzzled. He looked up and saw that his captain's face was starting to turn blue and his face was covered with cold sweat.
"Come on, the Dawn Pirates are coming!"
There is more than one sharp-eyed pirate, and there are basically no fools who don't read newspapers. Information will also become a life-saving tool. No pirate who survives is a fool.
The Dawn Pirates, the only one on the sea with steel battleships, has long been a household name.
What's more, the latest issue of the newspaper just reported yesterday that Darren Eric set off from Rogge Town three days ago, passed through the Upside Down Mountain, and was heading towards the seven starting islands. The bounty has also increased to a considerable amount. The elusive 2.5 billion beli.
One in seven chance, why are we so unlucky? !
The dilapidated town suddenly became lively, and the dust generated by the pirates' constant running around made the whole town look gray.
"It's really lively. Are you going to have a welcome party?"
After disembarking at the dilapidated port, there were some old pirate ships nearby. Perhaps they would sail around the island a few times to enjoy the sea voyage, but they would never dare to leave the waters around Devore.
The pirates were either fleeing or hiding in houses, peering through the cracks in doors and windows to spy on the Dawn Pirates.
Since the Dawn Pirates became famous, they have only disappeared for one year, and the rest of the time they have been making explosive news that shocked the world.
Two and a half billion, one billion, one billion...
Seeing these walking mountains of gold and silver, the malice aroused by greed is fermenting. As long as you take their heads, you can become famous in one battle, and you don't have to worry about it in this life...
As soon as this idea came to many people's minds, uu shook his head quickly and discarded these vague ideas. We can't even conquer the Grand Route. How can we be the opponent of these guys? As long as we steal their ship, Maybe we can get out of this damn place?
"These sights are really unpleasant." Esdeath pursed her lips, a violent red light flashing in her eyes.
"Uh... these guys are too weak. Is it interesting to kill them?"
"I haven't done anything for a long time, and my hands are itchy." Esdeath slowly pulled out the Western sword from behind his waist: "Ajin, come with me and let me see your recent growth."
"Yes!" Ah Jin took out two spherical walking sticks from nowhere.
"Ha!" He swung the cane hard, and the iron ball hit the wooden building next to him with a whining sound.
"Kakaka"
Numerous cracks appeared in the wooden walls, and with the sound of wooden boards squealing, half of the entire house was destroyed.
(ps: there won’t be much fighting later)
