I Have Been Sleeping Among Pirates For A Hundred Years

"What?! That guy Baron...Okay, I have received the information, and I will rush there immediately."

On the deck of the standard warship, Smoker hung up the phone in his hand, lit a cigar thoughtfully, and started puffing away against the ship's railing.

"What happened, Smoker Commodore?"

Tashigi sat aside, wiping the famous sword Shigure in his hand. He seemed to think of something and suddenly stood up excitedly, "Is it the news about Straw Hat Boy and the others?"

"No, it has nothing to do with Straw Hat."

Smoker blew out a long puff of smoke.

After the Alabasta incident, the credit for defeating Crocodile was attributed to him, and he was promoted to Commodore.

Although he was very dissatisfied with the World Government's approach at first, he gradually came to understand one thing during the voyage - that is, it was not enough for him to implement his beliefs in Naval Headquarters with his current status. So he needs "status".

Therefore, Smoker has been catching pirates of all sizes in the waters near Alabasta and accumulating military exploits.

Information about the G-46 branch, which was only three days' flight away, also reached him.

"Something happened to the G-46 branch." Smoker said.

Tashigi asked: "Is this the G-46 branch that said, 'Because you have a disagreement with the base commander Baron, you will not go to supply under any circumstances'?"

"No need to add such a strange prefix."

Smoker's eyes twitched slightly, and then he said a few words expressionlessly, "Baron is dead."

"Dead, dead?" Tashigi asked in shock.

"That guy, like me, is a fellow student led by Teacher Zephyr. He likes to secretly compete with me, but I have always hated his style...but I didn't expect that he would die so suddenly."

Smoker had a cold face, as if he was thinking about something.

Tashigi continued to ask: "Was the branch attacked?"

Smoker said: "No, he was killed in public while encircling pirates, but the specific circumstances are unknown."

"Then let's do it now..."

"Please inform me, change the route immediately and go to the G-46 branch!"

…

The sun is shining brightly and the sky is clear.

The Gulu sailed slowly against the wind and waves.

After purchasing a new record pointer and charging up the island's magnetism, the ship set sail again one day ago.

Before leaving the island, the two Karibu brothers returned to the village and said a formal farewell to their grandmother before returning to the ship.

With the help of his younger brother Kribb, Karib was finally able to spare an hour from his twenty hours of work every day for a midday break and a nap at dusk.

He would miss this stupid brother a little when he didn't see him, but seeing him dangling in front of his eyes, he felt that this guy was very annoying.

"Brother, brother!"

Cribb ran over with a mop on his shoulders, grinned at Caribu who was sitting on the steps, clasped one hand tightly,

"Guess how many candies I have. If you guess correctly, I'll give you both!"

"Five."

Caribu, who had his eyelids raised, spoke in a nonchalant manner.

"Wow, you guessed it right!"

Cribb showed a wise look and put the candy into Caribu's hand, "I'll give you two first, and I'll give you the rest next time."

After saying that, he happily ran to continue cleaning.

"Who cares about this kind of candy? Do you think I am a child?!"

Caribu said contemptuously, trying to throw the candy in his hand into the sea.

Ah Jin's eyelids twitched as he calmly watched this scene. This was not just candy, it contained the younger brother's flawless affection for his older brother!

In this world of intrigues, how many people dream of it but cannot get it!

He rushed over in three steps and reached out his hand to stop Caribu in the direction he was about to throw it.

The expected scene of catching the candy did not appear, and Akin's head hit the main mast in front.

Boom!

The mast made a crisp sound.

"Forget it, it doesn't matter if you keep it."

Caribu suddenly retracted his hand, put the candy in his arms, and then looked at Ajin in front of him in confusion, "What are you doing...?"

"No, it's okay."

Ajin turned his back to Caribu, covering the big bump on his head, and squeezed out a few tears from his eyes in pain.

Why, why should I do such a thing!

He said in his heart.

"Weird guy."

Carib muttered and walked away.

After a while, he came to Joel's side, hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help asking the doubts in his heart:

"Master Joel, how did you know I was there at that time?"

Joel took out a life card with red lines and said:

"This kind of thing is called a life card. It represents the owner's physical condition and location. Therefore, even if you go to the end of the world, I can still find you."

The calm tone made Caribu feel creepy. He seemed to have thought of something. He swallowed hard and continued to ask:

"Then the Slash Wave you released in the town before...was it also Armament Haki?"

Joel, who was sitting on the railing of the boat, felt the slight turbulence of the fishing rod in his hand. With a sudden lift, a fresh fishhook jumped out of the sea.

Another empty hook.

He was not annoyed, and inserted the bait into the hook again, and then said casually, "Oh, um, that's just one of my Devil Fruit abilities, blood evil."

Joel raised his hand, and the palm covered with light red air suddenly appeared in front of Caribu. The latter's body suddenly became cold and he couldn't help but shudder.

"Evil energy, a kind of spiritual energy generated by the circulation of human blood, is somewhat similar to Haki. You can simply understand it as "the death energy of a living person", but except for me, most people cannot use this energy. energy."

Joel retracted his palm and threw the fishing rod into the sea again: "Instead of focusing on my affairs, maybe you should consider how to improve yourself."

"I know, I understand, Master Joel."

Carib suddenly felt a little ashamed. He actually wanted to inquire about Joel, instead of reflecting on his shortcomings in the last battle and continuing to hone his abilities.

This attitude really shouldn't happen.

He walked away feeling a little disappointed, and after walking dozens of steps, he suddenly realized something and raised his head.

its not right!

He, Caribu, is a powerful Logia fruit user. Although he cannot compare with Joel, he is far from being comparable to ordinary pirates. As long as he does not meet those guys who know how to Haki, why not walk sideways on this sea?

There’s nothing to improve!

When he thought of this, Caribu suddenly became cheerful and walked towards the cabin humming a tune.

…

Two days passed quickly.

After Cribb came on board, the two brothers went from being harmonious at the beginning to becoming brothers and brothers, and the frequency of quarrels increased sharply.

Ah Jin tried to dissuade him several times, but after finding that it had no effect, he let it go.

"Mr. Joel, something seems to have changed."

He walked over to Joel, who had been sitting motionless for three hours.

"Here comes the big fish."

A joyful smile appeared on the corner of Joel's mouth, and he lifted the fishing rod that seemed to be about to break in his hand.

The black shadow under the slender fishing line suddenly grew larger, and the eyes that were shining like lanterns surfaced first, and then the terrifying mountain-like body lifted up like countless sea water and appeared in the air.

The sky at this moment was blocked by the huge size of the sea beast, covering it with a shadow like night.

The giant beast opened its bloody mouth enough to swallow the ship, and quickly bit down with two dense rows of sharp teeth.

Joel didn't move at all.

Ah Jin raised his head and glanced at the shadow, then jumped up and reached the sky above the sea beast. The iron crutch he held in his hand kept spinning, and in an instant, he fell heavily.

The tiny figure bit the huge sea beast on its head like a mosquito. The latter looked up with a humanized look of disdain.

But in just the next second, an astonishing force came from the attacked location, spreading throughout its body in an instant.

The sea beast's eyes suddenly changed from disdain to pain and fear. Driven by instinct, it gave up on the prey in front of it, swung its tail, and dived back into the sea as if to escape.

The splashing water fell like a heavy rain, and the sea fog also rose in response. In the haze, black spots seemed to appear in the field of vision.

"It's a pity that you escaped. I can only give zero points for this splash."

Having said that, Joel did not show any regret at all, but instead his eyes fell on the sea in the distance.
