traveler among pirates

Chapter 22 The Truce Karp's Mediation

boom!
A figure suddenly descended from the sky and landed between the two of them. The ground was sunken, and gravel mixed with ice shards splashed everywhere.

An unexpected person appeared in front of Hughes and Aokiji, it was Garp.

"Pfft haha! Kuzan, are you injured?"

Although Garp seemed to be concerned about Aokiji, but he laughed too loudly, and it was obvious that he was gloating.

Seeing that Garp had interrupted the battle, Hughes lost interest in continuing. He pulled out a silk cloth strip from his waist, put Fei away, and put it behind his waist.

After seeing Garp, Aokiji also withdrew the freezing air from his body.

"Mr. Cap, what's the matter?"

"Yeah, it's not a big deal, it's just that a group of pirates affected that group of garbage, so the navy is required to catch the remaining pirates."

Cap held his nostrils in a casual tone.

But in the face of this kind of thing, only Garp would not care so much. Sure enough, when Aokiji heard it, he looked troublesome, but he didn't care about those Tianlong people.

What he was worried about was whether those pirates would affect the civilians here, and if the Tianlong people messed up, who knew what outrageous things they would do.

As for Garp, he will not do things for those scum, he will only insist on his own naval justice.

He came to Aokiji mainly to end the battle between him and Hughes. The battle between the two of them was too dangerous for this country.

After all, if they continue to fight, not only this small town, but the whole country may be in danger in the end.

And the battle between the two was an unnecessary struggle.

What's more, he wants Aokiji to face those Tianlong people, he doesn't want to see the faces of those garbage. As for the troublesome pirates, his navy can handle them.

Those pirates were just a bunch of idiots. I really thought that the Tianlongren would have no guards around them when they went out. The pirate who rushed into the Tianlongren had already been shot dead on the spot.

Now the only thing to catch is the fish that slipped through the net of the pirate group, mainly because he wants to express his position to the Tianlong people.

Garp wouldn't do this kind of thing, so he thought of Aokiji, anyway, he will definitely have nothing to do now.

Sure enough, he saw Aokiji fighting Hughes from a distance, and then came directly over.

"Mr. Nakap, this man"

Aokiji scratched his head. He was still a little worried about Hughes. After all, this kind of strong man appeared in this period. If there was nothing in it, Aokiji would not believe it.

"It's okay, don't worry, this little brother is the one I told you before, we still know each other, Hughes."

"um, yes."

Hughes nodded towards Garp. Although he had only known each other for a few days, Hughes didn't hate Garp.

"Then I'll leave first, Mr. Karp."

After finishing speaking, Aokiji finally glanced at Hughes.

"What's your name, little brother?"

"Pliscasius"

After knowing the name of Hughes, the figure of the green pheasant disappeared instantly, leaving only a wisp of blue smoke in place.

"Hughes, would you like to have a cup of tea?"

Garp extended an invitation to Hughes.

"Ah."

Since there was no fight, Hughes wanted to go to the concert first, but since it was Karp's invitation, Hughes chose to accompany Karp first.

Anyway, the concert will last for two days.

In the attic of a teahouse, Garp took out a bag of tea leaves and a bag of senbei, put them on the table, and then made a cup of green tea by himself. Seeing this, Hughes also made a cup of tea with the hot water in the kettle.

"Phew, it's hot, it's hot!"

Garp took a sip, put down the tea, and bit into the senbei cracker. Apparently, he prefers senbei more than hot tea.

Hughes took a sip of the hot tea and put it down. Well, Hughes confirmed that the tea was not suitable for him.

Hughes looked out the window, there were teams of navy running past on the street, and as far as Hughes saw, there were three different teams of navy running past the teahouse.

It seems that the pirate's collision with the Tianlongren was not as simple as Garp said. Thinking of this, Hughes asked directly.

"Mr. Karp, there should be something hidden about what you said just now."

"Pfft hahahahaha!"

Garp burst into laughter when he heard the words, and slapped the table with one hand, hot tea splashed from the cup, he burst into tears, and then suddenly became silent.

"Yeah, you, you should know about the upcoming concert."

"Well, that's why I stopped here for five days."

Hughes took out the flagon from his waist and raised his head to take a few sips.

Hearing this, Hughes probably understood from Karp's tone that something unexpected had happened, and the concert might not be held.

"The lead singer is dead, killed by pirates... by those scum."

Garp's face was full of anger, and with a bang, the tabletop was punched by Garp to create a cobweb-like crack.

'Are you a Celestial Dragon?'

Cap fell silent again after that.

Hughes also knew that Garp was in a bad mood now, so he didn't say anything, just drinking the wine quietly. He knew that Garp just wanted to find someone to drink tea now.

I have to say that the tea is pretty good, but I don’t like drinking tea. After all, Hughes still knows the basics of tea. He deserves to be a lieutenant general, Hughes thought.

The hot tea is gone, the sky is getting darker, and there are fewer navy on the street. It is estimated that all the pirates nearby have been caught.

Those pirates were also unlucky to encounter such a thing and be implicated.

But pirates count as one, no one is innocent, and it's not wrong to be caught.

Pirates like Luffy are more appropriate to be called adventurers than pirates.

It's just that what he did was too jumpy, otherwise there wouldn't be such a high bounty.

Karp left early, even on vacation. He is also a vice admiral, and there are still many things to deal with.

Putting down the cooling teacup, Hughes looked at the setting sun in the sky, lost in thought for a moment.

"That's part of the journey, too."

Although I can't watch the concert anymore, it's not bad to have a fight with Aokiji today.

Hughes is planning to leave. Since there is nothing that attracts him here, he might as well start his next trip, but he still needs to buy some things before that.

There are too few things on my own ship, and some sundries are missing.

Also, he was going to find a new record pointer, to the record pointer in the Devil's Triangle.

I don't know if there will be one here, but if it doesn't work, I will go to the next island to find it. Hughes is not in a hurry.

Back at the hotel, Hughes saw Winnie at the door of the room.

At this moment, she was wearing a simple navy dress, lowering her head and fiddling with her fingers boredly.

She seemed to hear footsteps, looked up to the end of the corridor, saw Hughes, and ran over excitedly, trying to hug Hughes.

"what!"

Hughes reached out and pressed her head against her.

"Speak well if you have something to say, don't touch your hands."

After finishing speaking, Hughes passed her, opened the door and walked in. Seeing this, Wei Ni also followed behind Hughes, and walked in bouncing.

"Tell me, what can I do for you?"

Hughes put a glass of juice on the tea table in front of Winnie, and then sat on the sofa.

Winnie sat across from Hughes, saw Hughes brought herself a glass of juice, reached out to pick up the juice, and took a sip.

"Hughes! I'm leaving with that Mr. Garp tomorrow."

After she finished speaking, she looked at Hughes.

Hughes glanced at her, "Yeah."

"Oh~"

Seeing Hughes' tone so flat, Winnie was a little frustrated, but she quickly recovered.

She also knew that it was almost impossible to get what she wanted to hear from Hughes.

But people always have dreams, think about it without committing crimes.

The air fell into silence, and Winnie desperately tried to find some topics, but she didn't know what to say, she had only known Hughes for a few days, and she didn't know what Hughes was interested in.

"If it's okay, you can go."

Hughes spoke, he knew that Winnie might have some special feelings for him.

After all, I was not only his savior, but also found a shelter for her that would not be harassed by the Tianlong people.

But Hughes would not be interested in a little girl, after all, they lived in different worlds.

And there may not be a chance to meet again in the future. Instead of letting this little girl miss her, it is better to cut off this weak connection as soon as possible.

Anyway, time will dilute everything, as long as they don't see each other, she will forget about it sooner or later.
