Pirate’s Steel Chain Finger

Chapter 38 Travel Route

“Oh? You know me?”

The petal old man Crocus carried a harpoon gun and looked at the young blond man on the deck.

This is a well-proportioned and extremely handsome young man with blond hair scattered randomly behind his ears, with only a strand hanging down to his forehead. He is wearing a well-fitting black refined suit, and Kabuto looks at himself with his hands in a leisurely manner.

“The tower guard of the Twin Gorges, is it weird if you don’t know?” Victor smiled slightly, turned his head and said to Robin: “Prepare to dock, everyone disembark.”

The Berger docked firmly on the shore of the lighthouse. After everything was stopped, everyone disembarked with Victor and came to the tower guard’s cabin.

“Wow~ Why is this place called Twin Gorges?” Perona put up a pergola and looked out to the distant sea. The tower keeper’s hut is located on a low hillside with a very wide view.

Robin pointed to the other side of the Grand Line into the sea: “Because there are two identical lighthouses here, it is called’Shuangzixia’. However, because the profession of’Shuangzixia Tower Guard’ is too dangerous, there is only one tower guard throughout the year. People will only light up one of the lighthouses.”

Crocus held the chair and round table kicked over by the’Rhino Bill’ in front of the tower man’s hut and returned to their original position. He thumped his waist and sat on the recliner, and said slowly, “Is your intelligence officer very idle? Even Twins. Xiadu’s investigation is so clear.”

He breathed a sigh of relief and looked sharply at Victor: “So, you are the West Blue gang leader who defeated’Seven Warlords of the Sea’, right?’Ferocious Chain’ Mafia Victor, I didn’t expect you to be so fast. We are now on the Grand Line. Everyone is guessing that you will use your prominent reputation to defeat the’Seven Warlords of the Sea’ in West Blue to summon your subordinates to form a huge force and then march into the Grand Line. Unexpectedly, you brought it. A few girls are here…boy, are you underestimating Grand Line? This is not a place to play!”

“What do you bald old ghost say…” Perona was furious, but was stopped by Wu Hongji.

Victor pulled up a chair, sat opposite Crocus, and said with a smile: “Perona, don’t be impulsive. Although Mr. Crocus’s words are a bit direct, they are really admonishing us… kindly. But now that I’m here, I I don’t plan to cross the Calm Belt and roll back to West Blue dingy. Although I’m not a pirate, I’m still interested in visiting this “pirate paradise”. Then, just follow your rules here, during the stay We are responsible for the supply of life.”

He turned to look at Wu Hongji: “Xiao Wu, let’s eat on the shore at night.”

With a flick of Victor’s finger, a ‘guide zipper’ flew to the body of the Beagle. Subsequently, a zipper opened wide, and several zipper tentacles pulled out several boxes of supplies from the zipper space and put them on the shore.

Wu Hongji went into the kitchen and began to work on the evening’s meals. Seeing Victor had something to talk to the old petal man, Perona and Robin also went into the kitchen to help Wu Hongji.

Crocus watched the ladies walk into the tower keeper’s cabin and turned to look at Victor, his eyes full of teasing: “They are all good girls, but… which one is yours?”

As he said, the old man gave a trivial little thumb.

Victor stretched out half leaning on the chair, and said relaxedly: “One is a sister, one is a partner, and the other is a secretary. So, it’s none of them. Don’t get entangled in this kind of boring question, let’s talk a little bit. Get it right.”

He sat up straight and asked solemnly, “Mr. Crocus, are you interested in being the marine doctor on my ship?”

The old man lay directly on the recliner, and said lazily: “Just forget this old bone of mine, and I’m just a rough medical skill, so I shouldn’t be a ship doctor.”

Victor was not annoyed by being so perfunctorily rejected the request, and he laughed loudly: “Haha! Although I know the result, I still want to try…Isn’t it? I can’t force such things like fate haha! Mr. Crocus, you There is no need to let that island whale continue to hide, I won’t hurt it.”

Crocus raised his eyebrows and surprised himself. He has let Laboon hide in the bottom of the sea. Can this be discovered?

Is it Observation Haki?

But looking at this kid’s attitude, there should be no problem. Crocus walked to the shore and let out strange noises.

“Poo oh oh oh oh ——————”

After a while, the distant sea slowly bulged, and then a huge whale rushed out of the sea, revealing a head half full of scars.

“Poooooooo——————!!!”

The roar of the whale was deafening, and then the huge round eyes looked at Victor in front of the tower guard’s cabin with a curious look.

Victor put his elbow on the table and looked at the island whale Laboon with interest with one hand supporting his cheek, with a trace of wishfulness in his eyes. He had long wanted to see this whale who had a deep connection with the manga protagonist team.

Comics belong to comics, the real whale Laboon is indeed quite shocking. West Blue’s sea beasts are only the size of a ship even if they appear in the field of vision of humans, and the eyeballs of this island whale are as big as a ship.

As soon as Perona walked out of the house with the brewed tea, Laboon almost frightened the tea set in her hand. He summoned a large group of explosive ghosts to attack, and Victor was soothed for a while before persuading him to come down.

That night, in this lonely tower-keeper’s hut, Wu Hongji presented to everyone a Wanokuni dinner that was not particularly rich but exotic.

The meaty mackerel marinated in vinegar, the golden and crispy fried squid tempura, the delicate takoyaki, the refreshing mustard octopus, and the grilled codfish with a rich sauce are not luxurious and rich, but they are carefully presented.

At the dinner table, Crocus tasted squid tempura, and gave a thumbs up to Chaowu Hongji: “Good craftsmanship! Blessed is whoever marries you in the future!”

Wu Hongji glanced at Victor, shyly covered her cheeks and twisted in the seat: “The concubine body, the concubine body is not ready for marriage…”

Perona looked at Wu Hongji who turned on the drama mode with contempt, and put a chopsticks into her mouth and put it in her mouth, instantly bursting with happiness: “It’s so sweet~ so delicious~”

Robin’s attention was focused more on the head of the island whale standing quietly on the sea outside the window. Thousands of words became a sigh in my heart-so cute!

Victor and Crocus picked up a large glass of beer and ate and chatted with the food on the table. The awkward atmosphere before had disappeared. At this time, the atmosphere on the table was very harmonious.

“Hiccup–! So, do you want to choose a suitable route from the seven routes?” Crocus looked slightly dizzy, raised his glass and took a big sip, then took a chopstick and threw it into his mouth while chewing. : “Then you really asked the right person… it’s delicious! But I want to ask first, do you have any requirements for the route?”

Victor nodded, a zipper appeared in the palm of his hand, and then a permanent pointer emerged from it: “My destination is the magic triangle sea area, and I hope to recruit marine doctors and boatmen.”

Crocus hugged his shoulders and thought for a while, then slowly said, “Seven routes lead to the magic triangle sea area. Don’t worry about that. From the doctor’s words, the “medical country” Winter Island Magnetic Drum Kingdom is full of brilliant doctors.”

Crocus drank a sip and continued: “But recently there is a strange rumor that the newly succeeded King of the Drum Kingdom Wapol formulated strict policies as soon as he took the throne to drive out all the capable and prestigious doctors from the kingdom. , Leaving only 20 doctors to serve in the palace, and I don’t know if it is true or not.”

The Kingdom of Drums… Calculated as a timeline, has it really begun? Victor shook his head: “Forget the Drum Kingdom, I will go again if I have time. Any other recommendations?”

Crocus smiled: “Hehe, what an arrogant boy, don’t want to deal with Wapol? OK, then I have another recommendation-Baishan Town on Chuklik Island. There are rumors that there is a mysterious doctor living in seclusion, as long as you can find He, no matter how intractable the disease is!”

“Baishan Town… Where’s the boatman? Is there a suitable candidate?”

“Hehe, it happens to be on the same route. Have you heard of the Water City? There is the world’s number one boat builder, and he is a famous man! But I heard that he has been working on a big project in recent years… Anyway, you can go there and try your luck.”

“Thank you, Mr. Crocus!” Victor raised his glass.

“No, I want to thank you. I haven’t attended such a warm banquet for a long time, thank you.”

The two wine glasses met together.

The next day.

On the shore of the Twin Gorge Lighthouse, Victor and his party bid farewell to Crocus.

“Have you recorded the pointer?” Crocus asked with concern.

Perona glanced at the chart, and then at the record pointer on his wrist: “No problem~oohhhhhhh~~The pointer points the same as the nautical chart!”

Crocus nodded: “Since you have chosen the route to Baishan Town, the first stop will be Tanal Town, which is a tourist attraction. Have fun!”

Victor shook hands with Crocus. “We are going, Mr. Crocus.”

After the farewell, the Beagle sailed away slowly under the watchful eyes of Crocus and the whale Laboon, and gradually disappeared above the sea level.

Crocus folded his shoulders and said to himself:

“What an extraordinary man… This sea is going to be lively. Right? Laboon?”
