Defection Starting From Cp9

"I heard those people talking on the street that you had escaped from Impel, so I quickly came to find you..."

"I still keep the check of 100 million Baileys that you left at home..."

"I didn't expect to see you again in this life. It's really incredible..."

Jonah was sitting on a high stool in front of the bar, his face full of excitement, dancing and talking non-stop to Xi Luoke beside him.

"Hehehe~"

Xi Luoke smiled and said nothing, holding a fork in his hand and eating a newly ordered seafood pasta.

Although they haven't seen each other for more than two years, he can still see traces of the past on the other person's young face.

But he didn't expect that after two years, the other party would still stick to his promise and wait for him in the Capital of Seven Waters.

A huge sum of 100 million Baileys, if ordinary people heard that the owner of this money was arrested and imprisoned in the "Imper" prison, known as the "copper and iron wall", they would have taken the money to live freely. Gone happily.

Really, he didn't forget about it, but he never thought about asking for the money back.

After all, for ordinary people, it is absolutely impossible to come out after entering the "Imper" prison, and your Bailey's money is equivalent to a person without an owner.

A moment later, Jonah was still excited. He looked straight at Xi Luoke and sincerely requested: "Mr. Xi Luoke, I have grown up and become a Demon Fruit Power. Please let me join your sea." Let’s join the gang of thieves!”

"Jonah, you should have heard the previous conversation!"

Xi Luoke sighed, put down the fork in his hand, and said seriously: "I am now a fugitive who escaped from prison. I can only stay in the Seven Waters City for a day or two, and I have to face Marine's crazy pursuit. If anything happens to you I can't explain it to Mr. Joakim."

Hearing Xi Luoke's words, Jonah's face froze, and the excitement all over his body disappeared in an instant. He pursed his lips sadly and said in a low voice: "Father Joachim is dead!"

"What did you say?!"

Xi Luoke looked stunned and couldn't help but blurted out.

"After I left Gaya Island, Father Joachim took me to settle in the Capital of Seven Waters. However, Father Joachim always remembered what you told me, even if I learned from the newspaper that you were arrested for Per' Prison, he is still inquiring about the whereabouts of Adam Baoshu."

At the end of the sentence, Jonah choked up and said sadly: "But last year, 'Aqua Ragna' came very suddenly. In order to save me, Dad Joakim was swept away by the huge tsunami that hit the city. Already..."

Xi Luoke looked heavy and couldn't help but reached out and patted Jonah on the shoulder, but he didn't know how to comfort him. In the end, he could only say "sorry".

He didn't expect that the man with a gentle smile but a heroic heart would end up being swallowed by a tsunami.

At this time, Jonah took a deep breath and said firmly: "Dad Joachim was a pirate when he was young. Although he was not famous, he spent half his life on the sea. He could die in the sea instead of Dying of old age or illness in bed can be regarded as the true destination of pirates."

"So, please agree to accept me, Mr. Xi Luoke!"

"Even if I am asked to be a sailor who wipes the deck, I am very willing!"

"please!"

After saying that, Jonah immediately stood up from the high stool, then took two steps back, and directly knelt down under Xi Luoke's astonished gaze, making a posture of prostrating himself on the ground.

"this.....……

Seeing Jonah giving this grand gift, Xi Luoke covered her forehead with a headache, and for a moment she didn't know whether to accept him or not.

No matter how you say it, being a pirate is not a legitimate profession. You are destined to struggle in a life of flesh and blood, experiencing blood and fire. If anything happens to him, he will feel sorry for Joakim.

Although he and Joachim had only met a few times, they were not even friends at the beginning.

However, friendship between men never depends on the length of time.

Xi Luoke saved Joachim and Jonah, and Joakim kept his promise and kept looking for traces of Adam, the treasure tree, on the black market. Even though Xi Luoke was arrested and sent to the "Imper" prison, he remained unwavering.

This kind of behavior makes Xi Luoke and Joakim in a sense...not good friends, but better than good friends.

Therefore, when Xi Luoke learned that Joakim died, she felt like she had become an elder in front of Jonah, and was reluctant to let Jonah take risks with her.

"Captain, let him follow us!"

Suddenly, Bazel on the side raised his head and said in a deep voice: "In this world, following the strong is the safest and wisest choice.

Xi Luoke glanced at Bazel, thought seriously for two seconds, and had to admit that what the other party said was correct...

So he nodded, then turned to look at Jonah who was still kneeling on the ground, and couldn't help but sigh: "Get up, I promised you!"

"Really, Mr. Xi Luoke?"

Jonah suddenly raised his head, looking surprised and asking in disbelief.

"You should call me Captain!"

Xi Luoke snorted softly, then asked the tavern owner to bring two ceramic bowls and put them on the bar table. Then he grabbed the bottle of rum at hand and filled the two ceramic bowls with wine.

"Drink it, and you will become a trainee crew member of the Sickle Pirates!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Jonah stood up quickly with joy and reached out to take the bowl of wine handed over by Xi Luoke.

Xi Luoke took another bowl of wine, clinked glasses with Jonah, and then drank it all in one gulp, leaving not a drop of wine left in the bowl.

Jonah also followed Xi Luoke's lead and drank all the rum in the bowl.

At this point, the joining ceremony among pirates is completed!

"oh----"

"Your name is Jonah, right? Welcome!"

"How lucky, kid! Boss Xi Luoke is destined to be a famous man all over the world,"

All the escaped prisoners present cheered loudly and raised their glasses or bottles to toast the newly joined Jonah.

Jonah's face turned red. Faced with the welcome of so many people, he felt at a loss for a moment. He could only quickly bend down and bow, saying "thank you".

However, he also carefully put the ceramic bowl in his arms into his arms, as if it was some kind of token.

Seeing this scene, Xi Luoke rolled her eyes and couldn't help but roared at the others: "I didn't allow you to join the Scythe Pirates, why are you happy!"

"Don't say that, Boss Xi Luoke!" A prisoner held up a large solid wood wine glass and said with a smile: "After all, we have lived and died together, so don't say such nonsense!"

"That's right! That's right!"

"Don't be so cruel, Boss Xi Luoke!"

"Please be accommodating, we also want to officially join the Scythe Pirates!"

"Why don't we all drink [the adopted son's wine] together!"

Several more prisoners shouted one after another. .
