I am brushing up materials in One Piece

Just when Cos and Deus were about to reminisce about the past, a discordant voice came over.

"Newcomers, don't block the door and don't let the two gentlemen come in and sit down."

It was a bearded man with thick limbs and a dark complexion. He pulled away from Deus angrily and showed an extremely flattering smile to Kos and Mengka.

"Master, please come this way."

"No, I want to chat with my friend again."

Kos pushed away the man who came up to him without permission, and then looked at Deus waiting for him to say "It's a long story."

"Hey, hey, hey, he must be a poor guy! We don't welcome poor guys here."

The man who was pushed away immediately changed his face. There was no trace of kindness on his face, and it seemed that he was going to start chasing people away the next moment.

Kos took out a wad of baileys from his pocket and threw it to the man.

"This is meal money. If you have more money, you don't have to ask for it. If you don't have enough later, you can ask me to get it. Now you can leave smoothly and smoothly!"

Because he knew that the man was not too bad in nature, he was just a bit snobbish, and since Deus still worked here, Kos did not use too drastic means to send him away.

And Kos is really not short of money. He still has the bounty money from the Black Cat Pirates, plus the gains from the group's destruction of the Bucky Pirates, he still has several thousand W on him now, so he can spend it. A snobbish tip is just a drop in the bucket.

"Okay! It's up to you!"

The man ran away happily, counting the money given by Kos with his hands very skillfully. The more he counted, the more wrinkles appeared on his face as he smiled.

"Let's sit and talk."

Kosi sat down at the table closest to the door and waved the other two people to sit down.

After Deus also sat down, Cos asked again: "Deus, didn't you go to sea with Ace? Why are you working as a waiter here? Where is that guy Ace? And I also heard that you two became a couple. Pirate hunter, what’s going on?”

"Ace's words are here too!"

Deus said and shouted in the direction of the kitchen.

"Ace, Kos is here!"

Then a ball of flame burned down the cloth curtain that separated the dining room and the kitchen and jumped out from inside.

The flame came to Kos and Deus and showed its figure. It was Ace. But at this time, he was wearing an apron and rubber gloves on his hands, as if he was washing dishes.

Ace was so excited to see Kos that he didn't know what to say for a moment.

"What's going on with you two? I first heard that you were working as pirate hunters, and then why are you working as a waiter here?"

Kos simplified the question he just asked Deus and then asked Ace again.

"I'm sorry, I couldn't fulfill my promise to you."

Ace lowered his head apologetically.

"What? What's the agreement? Rogge Town? Isn't that still some time away?"

Kos was confused.

"I haven't saved enough money to sell a long-distance boat, sorry."

Ace continued to apologize.

"Actually, I originally saved it, but I was deceived."

Deus explained on the side.

However, this explanation did not allow Kos to understand what they were talking about.

No, probably Consciousness still understood it, and also guessed the reason why they became pirate hunters.

Ace and Deus seemed to be arresting pirates during this period in order to save money to buy a larger pirate ship, but their money was defrauded.

But Cos couldn't figure out what to apologize for. The only connection he had with these things was that it was his suggestion to buy a bigger boat.

"Can you still be my partner? I will definitely have a pirate ship that will satisfy you in the future!"

Ace asked a little unsurely.

"what?"

Kos was even more confused.

He could understand Ace inviting him to become a companion, but why should he be associated with the pirate ship?

and many more!

Kos recalled the conversation and situation when they parted in Shieldstown, and he seemed to understand what was going on.

——Ace took his suggestion of changing to a larger pirate ship as an agreement. He thought that as long as there was a pirate ship suitable for long-distance navigation, he would become his companion.

Pointing at Ace, who had both expectation and worry on his face, Cos said in a fit of laughter and tears: "I think there is something wrong with your understanding."

"I think so too."

Deus spread his hands and said,

"But if you want to go to the Grand Line, you really need to change a ship. The Stormtrooper is too small, so I won't explain more."

"Isn't it?"

Ace looked at Deus and Cos belatedly, and then realized what he had done wrong.

"of course not."

Kos said angrily.

"Kesi never said that he would just change the ship and join us, right?"

Deus nodded in agreement.

"It seems that I didn't say that."

Although he didn't know what they were talking about, Mengka also nodded.

"That...that..."

Ace's face became serious, and then - he let out a long breath of relief,

"That's great! I originally thought that since the money to buy the boat was stolen, Cos wouldn't be able to be my companion. It turned out to be a false alarm."

Seeing Ace patting his chest and gradually becoming relieved, Kos and Deus were speechless.

The two of them could only look at each other and use the twitching of the corners of their mouths to express their inner collapse.

Then Cos quickly realized that if he didn't change the subject, he would be persuaded by Ace to join the gang again, so he asked Deus: "Forget it, let's not talk about that, how did you end up here as a waiter? Is it possible that here Is your salary high enough to buy a boat easily?”

"It's not because of Ace. Even though he was defrauded of his money, he still ate and drank here. As a result, the Charger was impounded, and he had to work here to pay for his food."

Deus complained about his captain without any psychological burden.

"Hey hey hey"

Ace laughed a few times guiltily and looked away, not daring to look directly at Deus.

"How much do you owe? I'll pay for it for you."

After all, they are partners who have lived and died together, and Cos doesn't mind generously helping out.

Kos didn't shirk, but there was still some discomfort on his face.

"In the beginning we owed this place one million yuan..."

"One million! Considering Ace's appetite, it's normal."

As he said that, Kos was about to pay, but he suddenly saw that Dios's face across from him was not good-looking, as if he was blushing from excessive embarrassment.

"Now, right now, we already owe thirteen million."

Although the number that came out of Deus's mouth was not going to bankrupt Cos, it was enough to cause him heartache.

You must know that it is the capital he uses to lie down! As a result, more than a thousand w were lost at once!

He could only take out two large-denomination certificates similar to banknotes from the lining of his clothes with a face full of pain. Each of them could be exchanged for 10 million beli at the corresponding chamber of commerce.

As for the reason why Ace and Deus owed more and more, he didn't want to ask, because he was afraid that if he asked, he would not be able to help but beat up some wrongdoer who made his wallet bleed, although he couldn't beat nature at all. That's all Ace.
