Seeing the flying mohawk, even Ji Shengling was startled. In order to prevent some unnecessary contact, he instantly entered the state of [Nothingness], causing the mohawk to fall flat on his face.

However, listening to what the guy in front of him said before, and considering the Rogue Town and the nose ring, although the hairstyle is different, there is no doubt that the man in front of him is the most famous fan of the Straw Hat Pirates - Bartolomeo!

Thinking of his cockscomb hairstyle two years later, it is not difficult for Ji Shengling to understand why he did not recognize him before.

Bartolomeo stood up, not caring at all that he had just fallen flat on his face because of Ji Shengling, but holding Ji Shengling's hand with tears in his eyes and waving it again.

"You are worthy of being my idol! You are so amazing! Tonight... No! I won't wash my hands for the next year, ten years, or a hundred years!!!"

"Well, I suggest you wash your hands... After all, it's unhygienic not to wash your hands. By the way, do you know me?"

Ji Shengling didn't mind shaking hands with Bartolomeo. As long as he didn't pounce on him, everything would be fine.

Bartolomeo nodded excitedly.

"Of course! I have heard of your name for a long time! You are the pride of our East China Sea, the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, [Axe Gun] Senior Ji Shengling, right? I saw it at a glance! You are worthy of being a world-famous pirate!!!"

This made Ji Shengling a little embarrassed.

"Well, I am indeed the Ji Shengling you mentioned, and I am indeed the vice-captain of the Straw Hat Pirates, but I don't know about being famous in the sea and the pride of the East China Sea."

"Then it must be right!"

Bartolomeo was still excited.

"Straw Hat Pirates! Captain [Straw Hat Boy] Monkey D. Luffy, bounty 42 million berries, vice-captain [Axe Gun] Ji Shengling, bounty 25 million berries, plus swordsman [Pirate Hunter] Roronoa Zoro, 22 million and chef [Black Foot] Sanji, 21 million, the total bounty for the entire ship exceeds 110 million berries! And the lowest bounty on the entire ship is higher than the highest bounty of the bastard fishman Arlong in the East China Sea, and the bastard fishman is an invader of the Grand Line! The seniors were able to defeat him, and there are rumors that the seniors have fought with [Hawkeye], which is really amazing!!!"

"Ahem, thank you for your compliment, but... if you don't deal with it, the bald guy will run away."

Ji Shengling kindly reminded Bartolomeo.

"This guy's eyes reveal a sense of contempt. He must have money but wants to embezzle it, and he thinks you are a fool."

"What?! You stinky bald bastard!"

After hearing this, Bartolomeo was immediately shocked for a second, and then he stood up and rushed towards the bald, wretched fat uncle who was about to escape after roaring.

This scared the bald, wretched fat uncle and exclaimed.

"It's unfair, Boss Barto! I really didn't mean that! We have cooperated for so long, would you rather believe this inexplicable guy than me?!"

"Shut up, you bastard! How dare you tarnish the character of Senior Ji Shengling! Die for me!!!"

"Ahhhhhh!! Help!!! I won't dare to do it again!!!"

Unfortunately, begging for mercy was useless, and the only thing that echoed through the street was the inhumane screams.

After dealing with the bald, wretched, fat uncle, the two hit it off, or maybe it was because Bartolomeo was successful in chasing stars that they came to a famous barbecue restaurant in Rogue Town.

Bartolomeo wanted to treat them, but he couldn't stop Ji Shengling from paying first. In the end, Bartolomeo could only enjoy the lunch Ji Shengling treated him to with tears and gratitude.

Woohoo, you are so gentle, Senior Vice Captain!

I have to say that the restaurant recommended by Barto is really a must-try. The roasted beef ribs are so soft and tender. Although they are not as good as Sanji's craftsmanship, they are also very presentable.

During the conversation, Ji Shengling also had a better understanding of Barto. Ji Shengling also liked this gangster boss who was in charge of 150 gangs and treated his subordinates seriously and responsibly. The two of them had a good chat.

"Um! Senior! Can I go to sea with you guys?!"

After drinking a little wine, Bartolomeo also had some ideas. His eyes sparkled, and he boldly approached Ji Shengling and asked.

"Do you want to go to sea with us?"

Ji Shengling swallowed the soft and glutinous roasted beef ribs in his mouth and answered without thinking.

"Well, it's okay. I like you as a person. Although I need Luffy's approval, I believe Luffy will like you too.. "

"Really? ! That's great!!!"

Bartolomeo was so excited that he stood up and shouted.

Great! This way, we can fight side by side with the seniors of the Straw Hat Pirates!

But Bartolomeo was not excited for long before Ji Shengling poured cold water on him.

"But... although there is no problem on our side, what about you?"

"What?"

The dancing Barto suddenly froze in place.

Ji Shengling said to him slowly.

"Since you are the gangster boss of 150 towns here, what should your brothers do if you leave with us? "

Bartolomeo lost his brilliance when he heard this, and lay on the ground in powerless silence.

"This... I..."

He didn't know what he should say.

Senior Ji Shengling was right. If Bartolomeo wanted to go to sea with the Straw Hat Pirates, it would be easy. He could just pat his butt and leave. But what about his younger brothers?

Without him as the boss, it's hard to say what will happen to the loyal and good but a little stupid younger brothers. Although Bartolomeo himself is not smart, he thinks he is more reliable than those younger brothers.

Well, the main thing is that he can fight.

It's a small matter that the underworld forces he has run for many years have been invaded. At most, he can fight back. But if something happens to his younger brothers, Bartolomeo, who values ​​friendship, can't forgive himself.

Seeing this, Ji Shengling stepped forward and patted Bartolomeo on the shoulder and comforted him.

"So, you should think about it before deciding on the follow-up. It doesn't matter. I will wait for you anyway. Even if Luffy doesn't accept you, I can use a little privilege to let you join the future Straw Hat Grand Fleet as the captain. Of course, I can guarantee that Luffy will definitely accept you! "

Hearing Ji Shengling's words, Bartolomeo looked up at Ji Shengling with tears in his eyes, and was very moved.

Well, it's just that his face is really strange with this expression.

"Senior Shengling! Thank you very much!"
