Pirate: My crew are all emperors?

Moving his wrist, Locks clenched his fist and was about to continue his attack, when he suddenly heard an inappropriate voice coming from not far away:

"If the fight continues, the repair costs will exceed 800 million beli. Will this money be deducted from the funds of either of you?"

Xia Qi slowly walked into the martial arts arena holding the small book that recorded the bills, looking at the surroundings with a playful expression.

Rocks immediately pointed his finger at Edward:

"Of course it came out of this guy's wallet. If he hadn't been able to stop it to this extent, how could it have been like this?"

However, Edward spread his hands:

"I'm sorry, I sent all my money back to my hometown. Now I only have [-] beli. I have to stay here to buy wine. I'm afraid it will only cost you, Captain."

"Is this okay?" Rocks' eyes widened. He had never heard this guy talk about it before, so why did he suddenly say this now?

Xia Qi flipped through the bill very cooperatively, nodded and said:

"The vice-captain does send most of the funds he receives to his hometown every time. It seems that you can only pay for it, the captain. I will deduct the money from your treasury. Please don't worry."

Uh!

Locks covered his chest, looking distressed. He didn't expect that his itchy hands would cost him so much money. Sure enough, it was better not to disturb his own territory in the future.

"Hey, just deduct it. Anyway, I have saved a lot of money on weekdays..."

As he spoke, Rocks picked up the coat he had just thrown away from the ground, hung it on his shoulders, and shouted to Edward:

"Let's go have a drink together. Seeing how poor you are, I'll treat you."

As soon as he heard that someone was inviting him to drink, Edward naturally agreed wholeheartedly.

Until the two left, Kaido's eyes never left their backs. Seeing this, Xia Qi walked over and reminded him in time:

"Why, are you scared? This is just the way those two guys greet each other. Is it closer to the pirate group you imagined?"

Regarding Kaido's initial speculation about the Rocks Pirates, Xia Qi had also heard a little about it. She was not surprised by this view. In fact, even she who had lived in the Pirates for so many years often even I forgot that I was in a pirate group.

"Is it just a greeting? Is this the habit of these strong men?"

Unknowingly, this thought was left in Kaido's mind. No wonder everyone, in addition to their daily work, always exercises their strength in their free time. It seems that this way of 'greeting' is very popular among the pirates. It's very popular here, I must not be outdone in the future.

……

Inside the restaurant.

Rocks and Edward were already surrounded by wine barrels. With their bodies, wine barrels that were very large for normal people were just larger wine glasses.

After drinking up the barrel of wine, Rocks breathed a sigh of relief:

"I haven't had such a good time drinking in a long time. It really makes it easier to have you on this island."

Edward looked at the wine in his hand and suddenly asked:

"I heard from Xia Qi that the last time you went to encircle and suppress the World Government's fleet, you were seriously injured. Even the guy Kars was almost left there?"

Rocks' expression froze slightly, and then he slowly put down the barrel.

"Absolutely, but the ones who were injured were not those agents, but the ones who were more troublesome."

"who is it?"

Rocks roughly described what happened at that time. When Edward heard that there was a being close to God in the World Government, his face became a little serious.

"Nothing can hurt her fundamentals, but she can easily disintegrate her opponent's body?"

This kind of enemy is simply unheard of. If it is true, it is not good news!

Rocks took another sip of wine, and then said dullly:

"So I plan to wait for the scholars to complete the translation of those texts, and then go out to sea alone. During this period, the safety of Beehive Island will be left to you."

"You want to go to sea alone!?"

Edward was shocked. Although there is no need to worry about the World Government and others in the new world, there are still many sea areas that have not been explored clearly. Even Rocks may not be able to safely pass through every sea area.

Edward's worry was not beyond Locks' expectations, but he didn't care:

"Don't worry, I am very strong. At least until we realize our dream, I will never die anywhere else. Just in case, the safety of this island will be left to you, the sea captain." The second in command of the bandit group is here to take care of you.”

Edward drank all the wine in his hand and sighed:

"You're putting a lot of pressure on me."

If the captain of a pirate group is absent, all matters will naturally have to be handed over to the deputy captain. And if something happens to the captain, the entire pirate group will definitely fall into turmoil. At that time, everyone will have to find a way to stabilize their emotions. Especially the islands under his command.

Edward felt like his head was getting big when he thought about these things.

Rocks patted his arm:

"Hey, I'm not going to die, I'm just going to explore the ancient ruins. Why do I look so generous and willing to die? Can you please give me some advice?"

"That's right. With your fate, no one can kill you." At this point, Edward put down the wine glass in his hand, "Then, leave everything to me, Captain!"

……

After this period of recuperation, Kars's injuries have fully recovered. Although he has not yet regained his peak strength, it is no longer a problem to open the space door to the island where the scholars are located.

"Lord Locks, I'm ready."

On the pier, Rocks looked at the struggling Karls in front of him and felt a little guilty:

"Sorry, I have to trouble you to open the space door before your injury has fully recovered."

"It doesn't matter. It's my duty to contribute to the work on the island. Besides, I also know the importance of those historical documents and there is no room for error."

After saying that, Kars activated his ability and opened a human-shaped space door behind him.

Locks used the space gate to quickly reach the island where the scholars were, and Karls also disconnected the space gate due to lack of physical strength.

After a while, a message came from the phone bug in Rocks' arms:

"I'm sorry, Lord Locks. I'm afraid it will take a while to recover before I want to open the space door again next time."

"It's okay, take a good rest."

What Rocks didn't know was that after Kars opened the space door, the body parts that had been healed by the medical staff began to collapse again. As expected, it was difficult for these new limbs to withstand such astonishing consumption.

"You have to... continue to train yourself." Karls took a deep breath and then slowly left the dock.

On the island in the West Sea, Rocks fell silent after hanging up the phone call. Karls' condition was indeed not as good as expected, but since he was already here, he should be able to ensure the safety here in a short time. .

"Next..."

Rocks was thinking about whether to check on the progress of the scholars when he suddenly noticed a faint scent of flowers approaching.

Immediately afterwards, a gentle body suddenly rushed onto Rocks' back, and Liz's sweet voice sounded from behind:

"You're finally here~ You didn't encounter any trouble, did you?"

"Well, it's time to trouble you."

"It's okay. Although it's a bit boring, it's not too boring to have these flowers and plants with me every day."

As she spoke, Liz used her ability to slowly bloom a flower in her hair, bringing a strange beauty to her originally green face.

"How about it, isn't it beautiful?"
