Chapter 16
...
The wind is gentle and the sun is beautiful
, and the endless blue sea sparkles under the sunlight.
Seagulls fly freely in the sky, and a group of pink dolphins are completely fearless and jump happily around the boat, which is very cute.
Uncle Fit was lying on the rocking chair leisurely basking in the sun, Biya was running around and interacting with the dolphins, Geer was still sitting on the side of the boat fishing, and Weibull was thinking about turning the dolphins into food. Fortunately, Geer was Stop in time
"Woof woof!"
Ah Da and Ah Er also wanted to learn the graceful swimming postures of dolphins, but unfortunately their qualifications were so poor that they couldn't learn the same thing. It looked more like a doggy style.
It is convenient to pull the boat with sea animals. Not only is it fast, but there is no need to think about anything at all. Just determine the direction of the wind and reefs. Sure enough, intelligent unmanned driving is the future.
Because they were in a hurry and didn't have any stops along the way, it took only 4 days for Geer and his team to reach the Grand Route. Entrance - Twin Points
"Um? Is it going to rain?"
Uncle Feite, who was basking in the sun, noticed that the sunlight on the deck suddenly disappeared. He took off his sunglasses and looked at the sky in confusion, but saw that the sky was still clear and there were no dark clouds in the sky.
"Wow wow wow! What's this? ah! It's a big whale!"
Biya looked up at the huge whale that suddenly floated up from the bottom of the sea and took a few steps back in fear.
Weibull ran to the side of the ship and said excitedly:
"Wow, brother! Come and see! What a big fish, so big you can eat several meals!"
"elder brother! Come and take a look!"
Ger was a little speechless. Such a huge whale was almost slapped in the face. It can be seen everywhere, but he still cooperated:
"Saw it, saw it"
"So big!"
It has to be said that although it is less than half the size of an adult island whale, its length of hundreds of meters is quite exaggerated.
"Is it Rab? The unique island whales in the West Sea are really spectacular when seen up close."
Ger walked to the bow of the boat and saw that the head of the huge whale in front of him was already scarred.
Rab didn't see the boat next to it. It started to dive by itself, and then slammed into the red earth continent. After the mountain was shaken, Rab surfaced again and raised his head to the sky and let out a heart-rending scream.
Seeing this scene, Geer couldn't help but sigh that animals often treat him badly. People's feelings are often more pure and loyal, and they can stick to a promise for a lifetime and never waver. This is true for Labu, Hachiko is, and so are the furry tribe.
Recalling the touching story of Labu and the Lumba Pirates, Geer began to softly hum the song"Binx's Wine"》
"Yo ho ho ho ho ~ Yo ho ho ho ho ~"
"Guests bring fine wine to you, ride the wind and waves as you please like the sea breeze, my favorite flag is flying under the clear sky, look into the distance together, that picture is so longing for, in the sky, the birds are circling and chasing the sunset, leaving the familiar port , what I miss most is my hometown……"
After hearing the long-awaited song, Rab immediately stopped hitting the red earth continent and looked towards the source of the sound with its huge eyeballs.
Although he couldn't find the familiar group of people on the boat, this familiar melody still reminded Rab of the beautiful past with the Lombard Pirates. The water in his eyes was rippling, and he couldn't help but sing happily. dance on the ground.
After Geer finished singing, Rab wagged his tail and circled the boat with unfinished thoughts.
"Hey, who are you? How did you know Raab and this song?"
Everyone followed the sound.
They saw a strange uncle with black hair and yellow fan-shaped petals on his head suddenly jumped onto the boat from the sea and was looking at Geer with a wary expression.
The uncle wore glasses and had a ring around his head. He wears a pink headscarf and a rather muscular body. He wears a pink shirt on his upper body and a pair of light blue shorts and sandals on his lower body.
"Wow! The uncle’s hairstyle is so weird!"
Biya pointed at the top of the other person's head and exclaimed.
"What a rude little girl! My hair has personality!"
Kulokas said dissatisfied.
Although Geer knew who it was at a glance, he still asked with a smile:
"When asking someone, shouldn't it be polite to introduce yourself first? uncle"
"Hmm..."
Kurokas was stunned for a moment, always feeling that this sentence should be his own line, and then he introduced himself:
"My name is Kurokas, I am the lighthouse keeper at Twin Points. I am 49 years old. My hobbies are sunbathing and reading newspapers. My blood type is... and my zodiac sign is…"
"Okay, okay, got it."
Gerr interrupted Kurokas, who was about to introduce in detail what he had eaten yesterday, the day before yesterday, and the day before yesterday, and said with a smile:
"Hello, Uncle Kurokas, my name is Geer, I am an adventurer, this is my brother and my crew, we are preparing to go to the East China Sea"
"Okay, okay, I understand. I mainly want to ask you why you know about Rab? Nothing else interests me."
The corner of Geer's mouth twitched. This smelly old man must be retaliating against him for interrupting his self-introduction just now. He was really stingy. He continued to lie:
"As for why I knew the story of Rab and the Lumba Pirates, it was because I had an intelligence network that obtained all kinds of information. Under the nickname PHS, I knew a lot of information that others didn't know."
Kulokas felt that the unreliable young man in front of him seemed to be deceiving him, but he couldn't figure out how he could know about Rab and the Lumba Pirates, who were both unimportant and important without a strong intelligence network. Something with a long history.
After being silent for a long time, Kurokas's eyes lit up and he asked with the attitude of giving it a try:
"So I would like to ask Captain Geer, do you have any information about the Lombard Pirates?"
Bit the hook!"
Geer was calm on the surface, but in his heart he was as excited and nervous as when he saw a fish biting the hook and was about to raise the pole while fishing. To be honest, he has been jealous of this uncle for a long time. Who doesn't want to have someone by his side when he goes out to sea? Where is the doctor?
Labu blinked his spiritual eyes. He seemed to be able to understand the conversation between the two. He was a little excited at this time and tried to move his head closer, trying to hear more clearly.
This frightened the two dogs. The child was shivering for fear of being eaten.
"Ahem, this...of course it exists, otherwise how could it be called a PHS?"
"Sure enough, no, that's right."
Kulokas's inertial thinking felt that it was not right. He boarded the Roger Pirates' ship in order to find information about the Lombard Pirates. After walking around the Grand Line, he found nothing. It seems that he still didn't give up. It’s ridiculous to think that you would hope that this young man in front of you can deliver news to your door.
"Um? No, did you just say yes? Did I hear it wrong?"
Kulokas suddenly turned his head to confirm with Fit and Biya. After seeing the two people nodding to confirm, he even grabbed Geer's shoulders with a fanatical look, shook him and shouted:
"Excuse me, please tell me the information about the Lumba Pirates!"
"Hey, hey, uncle, calm down, let me go first."
Ger really wanted to ask him where he kept the sedatives he usually injected into Rab. He really wanted to give Kurokas two injections.
Geer was almost shaken to pieces. It took Kurokas a while to calm down. After a while,
Geer put on a profiteer's face and said:
"Uncle Koulokas, you seem to be a little confused about the rules of our intelligence business."
"The more true and accurate the information, the more expensive it is, and the more expensive it is when sold to the people who need it. Just now, I have the most accurate information, and you are the person who needs this information the most... Hehehehehe."
Kulokas only felt a chill on his back.
"I already know that the Lombard Pirates have been wiped out. If I spend a lot of money to buy you (yes, it is exactly what you think), wouldn’t I suffer a lot?"
Kulokas asked.
Geer picked up the tea cup, took a sip and said with a smile:
"Hahaha, should I say that he is indeed a former crew member of One Piece? Uncle Kurokas, you are already testing my information before you pay. Forget it, I will give you a piece of information for free first. The Lombard Pirates were not completely wiped out."
Rabu next to him was already spinning around happily after hearing this, roaring at the sky. He was most unwilling to believe that everyone in the Lombard Pirates was dead, so he kept hitting the Red Earth Continent and wanted to knock it down. I went to find my partner by myself, because the original agreement was to come back here to pick it up after a circle.
Hearing this, Kurokas was happy at first, and then pretended not to care.
"Tell me, how much would you sell this information for? But let’s talk about it first: I don’t have much money. Also, this information is important to this whale, not to me. Besides, I’m not very familiar with this whale. I just think it’s too noisy for it to hit the red continent every day.! It affected my rest."
Hearing this, Geer almost couldn't help spitting out the tea.
"Hahaha, Uncle Kurokas, stop joking. Since I can even find out this kind of secret information from decades ago, will I not know your information?"
"In addition to helping Roger complete his final voyage, your other purpose in going to sea is to find out the whereabouts of the Lombard Pirates. Rab is closer to you than your own son."
Kulokas's face darkened, feeling that he had been completely seen through by this young man!
"For the sake of Rab, let me give you a 50% discount!"
"Just 1 billion Baileys."
Kulokas was a little happy when he heard the first sentence, but he almost vomited blood when he heard the next sentence: Why the hell did you originally want to sell me 2 billion?
"Are you kidding me? 1 billion Baileys, kid! Have you ever seen how many billion Baileys there are? I want 1 billion Baileys, why don't you go and grab it!"
"Of course I've seen it, uncle. I have only 1 billion Baileys on the ship now. If you haven't seen it, I can take you to see it for free. Doing business is about mutual consent. I didn't buy or sell by force. How can I say it's robbery? Woolen cloth."
Ger retorted.
Kurokas also felt that what he said was reasonable, and in the end he could only say helplessly:
"I don’t have that much money, do you think you can exchange it for other conditions?"
"Easy to say! It's easy to cheat next time if you have a plan. If you don't have 1 billion beli, then just exchange it for 5 devil fruits, right? Any type will do, I won’t pick. The market price of Devil Fruit is 100 million Baileys, which is equivalent to another 50% discount for you, uncle, you can’t still think it’s expensive, right?"
Kulokas's face turned red, and he held it in for a long time before whispering:
"Um...I can't get out five Devil Fruits. Do you think you can have less?"
"How about this? Uncle, you can get on my ship. Then we will be our own people. Not to mention that the information is free. I can also take you to find the survivors of the Lumba Pirates. What do you think?"
When Tu Qiong saw him, Geer formally invited him.
After thinking about it, Kurokas shook his head and said:
"No, I need to guard the lighthouse and take care of Rab. How about it be cheaper, how about 100 million beli? Or maybe I can owe you a favor?"
""Ada and Er, let's set sail. We've wasted a lot of time on this uncle."
Gel waved his hand and prepared to continue his journey.
"Hey, hey, hey, kid, didn’t we agree to discuss it after discussion? If you don't think so, we can talk about it again."
Kulokas stopped him quickly, and was almost so angry that he completely broke his guard.
Geer sighed and said with a very reluctant look:
"Let's do this, Uncle Kurokas, I will give you another proposal.
I can give you the information first.
When I come back from the East China Sea, I will find a way to take Rab away.
You and Rab join us, and I will take You go find the survivors of the Lombard Pirates, and I will also invite that interesting guy on board.
In the future, when I have my own power and territory, if you don’t want to continue sailing, you can always become a barefoot doctor in my territory.
How do you feel about living an ordinary life?"
Kulokas thought, and he also understood that apart from the medical knowledge in his head, he had nothing to show others.���Something that catches the eye.
Looking up again and seeing the bloody wound on Rab's head, Kurokas finally made up his mind and said helplessly:
"If you can lead Rab and me to find the survivors of the Lumba Pirates, I will agree to join you!"
"Hahaha, that’s great! Welcome to Uncle Kurokas!"
"Brat, don't be too happy, I don't even know if what you said is true!"
"Don't worry, I never lie to anyone."
"Hello! Everyone, this uncle will be the ship’s doctor on our ship from now on! His medical skills are quite good."
Ger was very happy and introduced to Uncle Fit and Biya.
"Welcome, uncle with weird hair."
Biya stepped forward to say hello.
Fit knocked his daughter's little head and said politely.
"Don't be rude! I'll excuse you later, Mr. Ship's Doctor."
Are you kidding? The ship's doctor is the most unoffended person on a ship.
Kurokas touched Biya's head and laughed:
"no problem, no problem."
A few people sat down on the deck, drank tea and exchanged a few words.
"Now can you tell me the information about the Rumba Pirates worth 2 billion Baileys? Captain Ger."
Kulokas gently put down the tea cup and looked at Geer and asked
"Of course!"
"According to my intelligence, the Rumba Pirates encountered enemies in the Devil's Triangle on the Grand Line and were attacked by poisonous weapons."
""Because the ship's doctor died in the battle first, they were unable to receive treatment after the war, died of poisoning, and the entire army was wiped out."
??
Kurokas couldn't control himself at all. He jumped up and grabbed Geer's collar and shouted:
"Are you kid trying to trick me? Didn’t you just say there were survivors?"
Kulokas said and was about to hit Geer on the head.
Weibull had already raised his knife and was about to go up and chop down the old man who dared to be violent to his brother.
Geer motioned to Weibull not to get excited, then turned his head and joked. :
"Uncle Kurokas, you are so old and still so unstable, can't you just listen to what I have to say first?"
Kulokas replied:
"I hit you but I didn’t gag you. You can continue talking while being hit!"
Ger rolled his eyes at him, feeling a little helpless. This guy is really an old naughty boy.
"Although the Lombard Pirates were all wiped out in the battle, there was one person on their ship who seemed to have come back to life due to the Devil Fruit's ability, and should still be drifting in the sea."
After hearing this, Kurokas slowly let go of his hand, thinking in his mind:
Devil Fruit?
Devil Fruits have all kinds of strange abilities, and it is not impossible to have the ability to resurrect from the dead.
Kurokas has secretly decided in his heart , if it is discovered that Geer’s intelligence was wrong, he will definitely give Geer some strong medicine to take revenge.
…
Chatting and chatting.
Geer suddenly asked seriously:
"I'm going to Rogue Town to witness the end of One Piece. Do you want to go with me?"
"No, the captain’s consciousness came to his mind at the last moment of his life. We respect his decision. I will take care of Rab here and wait for you to come back from the East China Sea."
Kulokas replied without hesitation. After speaking, he looked up at the sky. The lenses of his glasses reflected the light and could not see clearly the expression in his eyes.
Geer stopped asking. After the agreement, Geer stopped. Stop and prepare to continue to the East China Sea
…
Standing on the bow of the boat, Geer shouted to one person and one fish:
"Let's go, Uncle Kurokas"
"Filibuster! Don't hit the wall anymore. When I come back from the East China Sea, I will take you to find the Lumba Pirates. Remember our agreement!"
"Chirp~Wow~"
Rab nodded. His huge figure caused huge waves in the sea, and he let out a joyful cry.
Kurokas adjusted his glasses and raised the corners of his mouth slightly.
Because he had to swim upstream next. Entering the East China Sea from Shuangzi Cape, Geer left the two sea beasts Ah, Da and Er to be companions with Rabu.
"Hey, Weibull, you've been a little neglected recently. Do you want to challenge yourself to pull our boat up?"
"Good brother."
Weibull agreed without hesitation.
"Hey, hey, captain! No kidding, the current is so fast and the hillside is so steep, you have to pull the boat upstream! Isn't this too dangerous?"
"I don't know, it shouldn't be a big problem."
Uncle Fit was almost frightened to death. He now seems to understand a little bit why Geer said when he invited him to board the ship before, he could not guarantee that he would be 100% safe on his ship, because the danger came from the captain himself!!!
"Help!"
As a result, many new pirates who entered the Great Road from all over the world in the past two days were extremely shocked to see a ship climbing up the Upside Down Mountain against the current.
The two sides were in opposite directions, and they both passed by each other. As they got closer, several pirates saw clearly that there was a man swimming in the water and pulling the big boat behind him upstream. They were all dumbfounded and were so scared that they wanted to turn around and go home before they reached the Grand Line. How terrifying would the Grand Line be when encountering such a monster that is completely beyond the scope of cognition?
"It's too dangerous! I don’t want to go to the Grand Line anymore! I want to go home!"
"Wow wow wow! Mother! I want to go home!"
