Chapter 16: Rab the Whale
A cold sweat ran down Sherlock's forehead, and he first glanced sympathetically at the crew of the Straw Hat Boy, and then said:
"My name is Thassarian Sherlock," Sherlock greeted Luffy with a graceful greeting.
"Please advise. ”
Luffy pressed the straw hat on his head after hearing this: "My name is Luffy, and I am the man who wants to become the king of the pirates!" The self-introduction is simple and clear, and it is very much in line with Luffy's style.
At this point, the two are officially acquainted.
"Thassarian? Nami touched her smooth chin, thought about it carefully, and then exclaimed:
"You're the former president of the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce, that Sherlock?!"
Luffy, Zoro, and Usopp tilted their heads, looking like they hadn't heard of it, hey, isn't this guy famous?
"Flash Gold Chamber of Commerce?" Sanji's hand holding the cigarette stiffened, and his eyes changed slightly, "Isn't that Miss Anna's Chamber of Commerce?!" Then he rushed to Sherlock like a black whirlwind, put his hands on Sherlock's shoulders, and asked:
"Hey, hey, so you're acquainted with Miss Anna?" you ......, "Well, the focus of the lustful chef is always on the beautiful women.
Nami first briefly introduced the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce to Zoro and the others, and then she slapped her forehead, as if she had thought of something important, and said to Sherlock, "By the way, I almost forgot." ”
"It's not an impermanent service to bring you to the Great Voyage, well, I'll take you ten million Baileys. Nami playfully stuck out her tongue at Sherlock, smiling like a cat stealing food.
Zoro raised an eyebrow, and the upright green-haired swordsman was speechless at his own navigator's cunning behavior, so he turned his head away from her.
A cold sweat ran down Usopp's forehead, and he stared at Sherlock's face and took a few steps back, for fear that Sherlock would become angry and break out.
Luffy was still crouching to the side, snapping his fingers, calculating how many catties of meat the Shining Gold Chamber of Commerce's wealth could buy.
"Ah~ Nami-san, who cheats people's money, is also so cute. "Sanji's state is in full bloom.
"I actually had a day when I was ripped off by others!"
Sherlock looked at Nami with a strange expression, and was amazed at the orange-haired girl in front of him, how shameless it is to say such a thing!
"How many clothes did you take from my chamber of commerce for nothing? Well, those are the idiots who gave you. Sherlock pushed his glasses with a calm face, and then smiled at Nami:
"Hawkers, although the process is a little unsatisfactory, but after all, it helped me escape from the pursuit of the navy and brought me into the great voyage, this love, I still have to pay it back......"
"Yes, yes, yes!" Hearing this, Nami's eyes instantly turned into two Bailey symbols, and her face was excited, and at the same time, she secretly regretted that she was missing.
One report after another, others have helped you, even if it is unintentional, you must repay it. At the same time, if someone provokes you, you will have to get it back a thousand times!
This is Sherlock's philosophy of doing business, and at the same time it is the philosophy of being a human being.
As he spoke, Sherlock waved his hand slightly, and the space next to him rippled, and then in the surprised eyes of the five, Sherlock put his hand in, and when he came out, there was a huge ruby in his hand (from Duncan).
"Take this as my fare, beautiful young lady. With that, Sherlock placed the ruby in his hand into Nami's hand.
Touch! Nami, sink.
At this time, Zoro asked Sherlock with some doubts, "Since you are the president of a large chamber of commerce, why are you being hunted down by the navy?"
"En" Usopp nodded, his eyes full of scrutiny as he looked at Sherlock.
"Well, because I committed some small things, I was rewarded by the Navy," Sherlock said casually, pushing his glasses, and at the same time pulled out a bounty order from the mirror space and handed it to Usopp......
Everyone surrounded them curiously, and then it was like pouring a bowl of water into the oil pot, and it exploded instantly!
"Seven...... Seventy million Bailey!" Usopp, the least daring, stepped back in panic.
Once again, Sauron remained vigilant, looking into Sherlock's eyes.
"I didn't expect you to be that sorcerer," Sanji said, reacquainting himself with Sherlock's expression.
Nami quickly hid the massive ruby in her fourth-dimensional cleavage.
As for Luffy......
"Wow, that's amazing, are you doing magic?" Luffy's eyes lit up with excitement, and he grabbed Sherlock's bounty and shouted, "Is this the one on this bounty order? ”
"Be my buddy! Charlotte!!" Luffy said to Sherlock sincerely.
"Hey, Luffy!" Nami and the others felt helpless, their own captain began to be unrealistic again, and besides, if you want to invite someone, you should call them the right name!
Sherlock glanced at Luffy a little strangely, although he had long known that the other party was very maverick, but Sherlock still didn't expect the Straw Hat Boy to extend an olive branch to him.
"Join the Straw Hats?" Sherlock thought quickly.
Sherlock's habit of doing things is to make decisions after the plan, and rarely to be rash. Even if he did something that seemed crazy, Sherlock gathered a lot of information and did it after careful consideration.
The Straw Hats are just the opposite, led by a fool, a group of people want to do it, and they go on a rampage, which can be called a model of stunned brains.
Such a group of pirates has almost zero similarities with Sherlock. According to common sense, Sherlock should not hesitate to decline.
Merely......
Sherlock looked at Luffy with some strange eyes, remembering what happened in Rogue Town at that time, the earth-shattering roar, the smile that generously died.
How can such a fool have that kind of courage and courage?
It's like having what it takes to be a king!
"I'll think about it. Sherlock pushed his glasses and sighed silently.
"Oh, okay. Luffy replied with a big smile.
…………
Led by Crokas, the Merry headed out.
"That's amazing, are you doing this, uncle?" Usopp looked at the steel-made passage around him, his face shocked, it was hard to imagine that this was done in the body of a living whale.
"Yes. Crocas opened a valve and said, "Rab's body is too big, and I can only treat it in my body." ”
Sherlock felt much better after using the potion provided by the old man, and he looked around, saying that this guy with a strange hairstyle was not a nobody.
When everyone saw the real sky again, they all had a feeling of being reincarnated.
Under Nami's construction, Mr9 and Miss. Wednesday are thrown into the sea by Zoro after they come out. The two of them said a few cruel words and swam into the distance.
"Ah, Miss.Wednesday, what a beautiful name~" A cook leaned on the railing, looking at the distant backs of the two, stunned.
Arriving at the Twin Heads, Sherlock saw Rab in full for the first time.
Big, big, very big, like a moving island, no wonder it's called an island whale. Its forehead was covered with hideous scars, and at this time it was roaring loudly at the Red Earth Continent, and the roar was incomparably desolate and full of despair.
"You've been waiting here for 50 years. Sherlock muttered, the salty sea breeze ruffling his dark hair, and his eyes glowing with pity under the transparent lenses, "It's stupid." ”
Next to him, the people of the Straw Hats were discussing the matter of the whale Rab fiercely.
"Those pirates are really slow," Luffy complained unhappily as he leaned on his chair and looked at Rab.
"Stupid, the Great Voyage is not a place for children! those pirates haven't been back for fifty years......" Zoro didn't say any further, looking at the sea with a stern expression.
Sanji spat out his cigarette and sighed, "I guess I'm dead! No matter how long I wait, it's useless!"
"Don't you say that, maybe they'll come back!" Usopp hurriedly said, "Aren't you very touched by a whale that has been sticking to its companion for 50 years?
It has to be said that a certain long-nosed has beautiful fantasies about everything, but then Crokas's words shatter Usopp's dream.
After learning that the pirates had fallen ill and died, everyone fell silent because of the cruel reality.
At this moment, Sherlock's voice came from a distance, "Hey, look at your captain. As he spoke, Sherlock pointed at Rab's massive body.
When they looked closely, they saw their captain clinging to one of the ship's mainmasts, crawling up the criss-crossing scars of Rab.
"What the hell is this guy trying to do?" X7
