I am brushing up materials in One Piece

Of course, Kos's verbal abuse at Daz was not because he was doing voluntary psychological counseling. He wanted to try to see if he could trick Daz into joining the ship (k

u) member (l

i).

After the journey from Twin Capes to Whiskey Peak, Cos realized that there were still too few people on the boat after all. In fact, even the big cat Kodaz's paws were borrowed to help.

Even so, the entire ship still needs to be busy almost endlessly to ensure that the Gray Pearl sails smoothly and does not deviate. Although the second half of the journey is slightly smoother, it is always good to have more manpower.

Not to mention anything else, just by looking at his tendons, Daz is a good hand at wiping the deck and raising the sails, and his strength is also good.

What's more important is that his loyalty has been verified by Crocodile. As long as he can truly get on board, there is almost no need to worry about betrayal.

But it’s not clear how Daz felt about becoming Crocodile’s loyal subordinate. It was because the “Utopia” plan that sounded like a pyramid scheme made Daz think that he had something that could be redeemed. is it possible?

After all, Kos is not completely sure. After all, he does not have the conditions to offer generous benefits like Crocodile does; nor does he intend to trick Daz into boarding the ship by trying to draw a pie, because the relationship based on deception is The most fragile one may be defeated with just one sentence; at the same time, he also thinks that he has no personality charm that makes people follow him all the time.

And can Cos’s words really be regarded as enlightenment? At best, he just opened up Daz's wounds while explaining his views on good and evil.

Rather than enlightening him, he was more trying to see if Daz would get along with him.

If they get along, it will be easy to handle, and you can take advantage of his fragile psychological defense to send an invitation directly; if they don't get along, forget it, there is no need to forcefully leave a factor of instability on the ship.

It's just that Ace made the decision before Daz responded, maybe because he saw through Daz's hesitation, or maybe he simply thought Daz was interesting.

"Do you want to be my companion? I don't quite understand what Kos said, but I think your answer will definitely be found in this sea."

Ace seemed to be comforting Daz, and at the same time, he seemed to be admonishing himself.

Seeing Ace's hand stretched out without hesitation, Daz hesitated even more.

"We are not the same kind of people. I can still see this. Is it really okay to let me be your companion?"

"Then what?"

Ace said matter-of-factly,

“Isn’t the so-called companion just someone who can support each other moving forward even if their goals are different?”

After listening to Ace's words, Daz thought for a moment and then took Ace's extended hand.

"Please take me to find the answer, Captain."

"what is this?"

Kos on the side said that he could not understand, but was greatly shocked.

But no matter what, there is finally one more boat on the boat (k

u) member (l

i).

"Let's have a party!"

Ace suggested this immediately after Daz decided to join.

"What the hell!"

Kos gently hit Ace on the head with the scabbard.

"Having a banquet now will disturb the public, and we have to leave tomorrow morning, so we need to go to bed early tonight."

"To be exact, it's already tomorrow."

Daz corrected Cosi's mistake. It seemed that he had a particularly strict view of time.

"Then why don't you go and rest quickly!"

Kos gave Ace a kind look.

So Ace, who was excited just now and wanted to have a good drink, had to go back to his room dejectedly.

The next day, Deus took Daz to buy some necessary daily necessities, while Kos went to the reception desk of the Port Chamber of Commerce to buy a permanent pointer.

"Seven million, no more! If it weren't for the island of Little Garden on the road ahead, who would go out of their way to buy a permanent pointer?"

Kos slapped the table and argued.

"That's right! It's because there is a small garden in front that we dare to sell it so expensively."

The men in the Chamber of Commerce are confident,

"If there is no permanent pointer, you can only be trapped in Whiskey Peak, or follow the record pointer to the small garden where there is no return?"

"No matter what, it's too expensive! Aren't you afraid that I'll just rob it?"

Kos exposed part of Shang Fang's blade threateningly.

The man didn't panic at all, he just smiled slyly, like a fox,

"Although this Chamber of Commerce believes that it is no match for the pirate group with a total bounty of over 100 million, we can still destroy what you want before you destroy us all."

"Does that mean you won't lower the price even if you live or die?"

Kosi stared at the man helplessly and angrily, and in the end, his face was full of reluctance and he was ready to pay for being taken advantage of.

"Wait a minute."

A voice came from the reception door and stopped Kos from taking out money.

"If there's a permanent pointer, it's here!"

Kos looked in the direction of the sound. At the door was Robin pulling a suitcase. In her hand, she was playing with a spherical pointer fixed by two wooden bases.

"This is a permanent pointer to Bledia Island, the starting island of the route next door. I can give it to you!"

"So, Miss Robin, what's the price?"

In order to determine whether the permanent pointer in Robin's hand was more "expensive" than that in the hands of profiteers, Cos asked cautiously.

"Can you give me a ride?"

Robin smiled and explained,

"My president seems to have failed in his business venture and the studio has been disbanded. I have to find another way out."

"Stop lying."

Kos didn't even have to think about it. Crocodile would never let Robin leave. Even if he gave up looking for Hades, Crocodile's dream was to become the Pirate King, so Robin's ability to interpret historical texts was also a must.

"Ah, I've been seen through."

Robin chuckled and covered his mouth.

"To be honest, I am ready to change jobs."

"But with all due respect, our pirate group is not a suitable next home for you."

Kos spoke seriously,

"Our captain's bounty is quite high. If you two are on the same ship, it will be a bit of a problem."

"I……"

Robin wanted to say that she was aware of the dangers her identity would bring, but she soon realized that Kos seemed to have something to say. However, after thinking for a while, she was not prepared to ask more questions, because the result would be the same no matter whether she asked or not.

"Don't worry, I will only stay on your ship for a while. I will leave when I get to the next island where I can board a merchant ship."

"so be it!"

Kos also nodded carefully and agreed to the deal with Robin.

It's not that he doesn't want Robin to become a companion, but if Robin gets on the ship and Ace's life experience is investigated later, who knows what kind of "preferential treatment" the Spade Pirates will enjoy.
