I am brushing up materials in One Piece

The villagers' banquet lasted until the sun came up, and then they spent some time dealing with the remaining mess. It was around seven or eight in the morning when the port returned to normal.

Deus, who had been taking care of the wounded all night, was finally able to come out of the cabin to get some air.

As soon as he landed, he was stopped by Ace, who was obviously drunk.

"Hiccup~ I'm telling you, hiccup~, after my persuasion, hiccup~, Kos finally agreed to join! Now we have three people on the boat!"

Ace excitedly pulled Cos and Deus to show off his "results."

But Kos didn't intend to coddle his captain and pierced his skin mercilessly.

"I took the initiative to join, and he didn't persuade me at all."

"Hey! Have you changed your mind?"

Deus looked at Kos in slight surprise. He knew very well that Kos had no intention of becoming a pirate in the first place.

Kos spread his hands and said, "I killed a naval colonel yesterday. Shouldn't I be a pirate waiting for the navy to invite me to become a general?"

"Too."

Deus nodded. Yesterday, he thought that Cos had some back-up to do so boldly, but it turned out that he simply broke the jar.

But personally, Deus still hopes that Cos will board the ship. He knows that the most precious treasure in a sea adventure is a reliable and trustworthy partner.

For him, Kos, who had survived on the island together and worked hard to escape from the island, is definitely a trustworthy person. At the same time, Kos is not weak in strength, but also has a rare normal thinking. To some extent, it is better than thinking outside the box. Ace, who has difficulty keeping up with others, is even more reliable.

"By the way, since you have decided to join, Kos, you should also come and take a look at this."

Deus took out the notebook he had always carried with him from his arms, opened it and handed it to Kos.

Kos took the notebook and found that there was a special skull pattern drawn on the opened page, which was obviously the pirate flag they decided on.

The background of the skull is the spade symbol in a playing card. A horizontal line representing the brim of the hat is drawn on the skull's skull. Above this are the two small round faces on Ace's hat, one crying and one laughing. And above that. It is a burning and rising flame.

"This is the pirate flag I designed. Do you think there is anything that needs to be modified?"

Although Kos has only officially announced his joining now, Deus believes that he, who jointly built the Stormtrooper and rushed out of the island, is also one of the veterans of the pirate group and has the right to put forward his own opinions on the pirate flag.

"I don't think it's a problem."

Cos is relatively self-aware. He was born without any artistic germs, so he has no intention of doing any stupid things that are superfluous.

However, he has always been a bit unclear about why Ace's pirate group was named after "Spade". He felt that it had nothing to do with him personally, not to mention that it had the same name as Doflamingo's troops.

"Speaking of which, the element on the skull comes from Ace, but what about the spade symbol in the background?"

Kos pointed at the pirate flag pattern on the notebook and asked Deus.

"Aren't Ace's and mine's names respectively representing two cards in the playing cards? So I thought about adding some elements of playing cards. After comparing the four suits, I found that the spades, which represent spears and swords, are more suitable. As background.”

Deus explained to Cos seriously, and then suddenly he was inspired. He took back his notebook and started scribbling on it with a pen.

When he showed the above content to Ace and Kos again, the right one of the two bones placed crosswise on the pirate flag had turned into a straight-edged knife.

"How about this? I tried adding Kos's knife into it."

Ace leaned forward and looked at the paper for a long time, almost with his eyes pressed to it, before leaving, as if he could see flowers from it.

"That's right! Hiccup~ But why is there only one knife? Why doesn't the other bone change?"

"Because this bone represents me."

As he said that, Deus seemed a little embarrassed.

"Compared to your flames and Kos's swordsmanship, I am too ordinary, so I am neither a flaming skull nor a sharp sword, I can only be an ordinary bone."

"No, no, how are you so ordinary who can both heal and build sophisticated ships?"

Coase angrily attacked Deuce and expressed disdain for his behavior in Versailles.

"If you become ordinary, who will I be? A preschooler?"

After Ace understood the meaning of the pirate flag, he looked at it carefully, and finally put his arm around Deus' shoulders and praised, "That's great! Deus, you are really awesome."

"What are you discussing?"

Mengka, who was covered in bandages like a mummy No. xxxl, heard the voices of the three people and walked over from the boarding port.

Ace grabbed Deus' notebook and handed it to Mengka.

"Pirate Flag!"

Mengka looked at the pirate flag pattern on it, thought for a moment and asked: "I have never seen this pirate flag before. Is it some emerging pirate group?"

"This is the pirate flag of our pirate group."

Ace responded immediately.

"Oh, it turns out to be your pirate..."

Halfway through the words, Mengka finally understood the meaning of Ace's words. His surprised eyes moved back and forth between the three of them, and then he still asked with a puzzled look on his face,

"what's going on?"

Did Kos remember that he asked Ace in front of Mengka yesterday? Why did Mengka forget so quickly?

But he still explained: "Literally, the three of us are pirates, and this is our pirate flag."

"I've never heard of such a thing!"

Mengka obviously couldn't accept this fact that was too shocking for him.

In fact, Cos and Ace had talked openly about the pirate ship as early as at the sea restaurant, but he didn't notice it at all at the time, so now that he learned that the three of them were pirates was so beyond his understanding.

"Why? Why do you want to be a pirate?"

Mengka asked in confusion, or more like muttering to himself.

"Because there is someone I want to surpass. If I want to surpass him and reach the top of the world, I must go to sea."

Ace gave his answer without any hesitation.

"I want to record our adventures with Ace and write our memories into the greatest adventure novel in the world."

Deus then told his dream.

After the two of them finished talking, Mengka looked at Kos, and then Ace and Deus also turned their attention to him.

"I?"

Kos pointed at himself, held his chin and thought for a while before saying,

"The situation here is quite complicated, involving my life plan and lack of character. If I have to say it, there are also the corrupt rules of this world..."

Finally, with a twinkle in his eye, he revealed what he thought was the most crucial reason.

——"Now that I have come to this world, I really have to be a pirate for once to enjoy it!"
