Chapter Eighty-Three: Encounter
That was the end of the week. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
God knows how Akin, X, and Sanji managed to wipe out all the beasts in the small forest north of the village in a week.
Tyton also fell in love with being an instructor after training the pirates vigorously for a week, and whenever he gave serious orders and still commented on the pirates after their extraordinary performances, he always drew screams from the onlookers.
As for Chloe, a week was basically spent cooking, and after a week, his hands were sore and he couldn't lift them.
As for Rhodes, the wound has finally healed.
It was time for them to leave, who had planned to repair here for a week, so they began to pack their things, and as for the goods that were supposed to be used as proof, they were all given to the villagers, and they were tired of eating them on the ship anyway.
Originally, he gave five million Berry as a sponsorship fee, but now he has sent so many goods, and he has not given the village any trouble, so the villagers' favorability has skyrocketed, and they are very reluctant to leave Rhodes and his gang.
Many villagers also volunteered to help Rhodes and his gang pack up their things, and some even gave Rhodes some things, which made Rhodes a little confused, aren't he pirates? Are the heinous villains called villains in the newspapers? Why are there so many little fans now?
"Chloe, how are your things packed?" Rhodes changed into a neat black suit with short black hair, and the whole person was in good spirits.
"I'm almost ready, say hello to the village chief and go. Chloe replied.
"In this case, then I'll go to the village chief's house, you guys go, I'll follow soon. Rhodes said.
Chloe nodded, "Understood, then we'll go first." ā
"Hmm. Rhodes turned and hurried to the village chief's house.
Arriving at the village chief's house, Rhodes walked straight in and found that the village chief didn't seem to be there, and Nana walked out of her room: "Nana, is the village chief there?"
"No, what's wrong?" Nana couldn't help but feel relieved when she saw that Rhodes was about to heal her injuries like this.
"Ah, we're leaving, just here to say hello. Rhodes said.
"What? are you leaving?" Nana suddenly felt a little reluctant, she had become accustomed to this group of people in such a short time, and now she was unwilling to leave, which was really unacceptable.
Rhodes smiled: "It's not a big deal! ā
"That's right. Nana leaned against the wall, not knowing what to say.
Looking at the girl's appearance, Rhodes felt that it was difficult for him to breathe for a moment: "Say...... Don't you really want to come with us?"
Nana's lowered eyes lifted, glanced at Rhodes, and smiled, "I want to be a pirate." ā
"Actually...... We are pirates too. Rhodes explained.
"Alright, alright!" Nana nudged Rhodes, "Don't brag anymore, I'll congratulate you on your Bounty Hunters' Guild when it's famous! ā
Pushed out the door by Nana, Rhodes also understood that Nana had made up his mind, and no longer invited, but said, "That...... We are looking forward to our meeting on the Great Voyage. ā
Nana playfully blinked and stuck out her tongue and said, "I hope we won't be enemies then, bye!"
At the moment when Nana closed the door, Rhodes was also a little reluctant, and he waved his hand at Nana: "Goodbye!"
"Smack!" the door shut.
Nana leaned against the door and sighed: "What a braggart guy! I hope to see him on the Great Voyage in the future, he can become a truly powerful person." ā
"Well...... It's actually reluctant. Rhodes turned and walked out of the village, "It's a shame, I kind of like this little guy." With that, he exhaled, and took advantage of the moon to quickly leave the village and catch up with Chloe.
"Those are pirates, aren't they?" Rhodes said as he saw a hundred men walking towards them, "Doesn't look ill-intentioned." ā
"It's supposed to be pirates, if they don't make trouble, they don't have to pay attention to it, there's no need to make a fuss here. Chloe reminded.
"I'm a little itchy...... Rhodes moved his joints, "I wish it was a bunch of people who didn't have long eyes." ā
As he spoke, the teams of both sides came together, and both groups paused for a moment, holding each other against each other.
Rhodes walked to his side, with Crow, Tyton, Sanji, Akin, and X on either side of him, and behind them were more than fifty pirates who had been trained by Tyton for a week.
He was led by a red-haired man, who said that his hair was tied with rope and that he had a machete at his waist. Next to him was a thin guy who had suffered a lot more than him, he held two pistols in both hands, wore black sunglasses, a black barrel hat, and a black cloak, and looked like he couldn't be underestimated. Behind them were about a hundred pirates.
"So, pirates?" the red-haired man made a hoarse voice, and just listening to his voice, I thought it was an old fellow in his seventies and eighties.
"Yes. Rhodes responded, and his momentum didn't wane in the slightest.
The red-haired man smiled, "That's funny! Don't you know the rules of Green Island?"
"Rules, rules are for the garbage who is weak enough to only honor the strong, could it be that you mean us?" asked Rhodes, tilting his head.
"Green Island hasn't been landed by pirates in ten years, except for us. The red-haired man picked up a cigar and said as gently as if telling a story, "All the pirates have been defeated by us. ā
Rhodes' pupils shrank, as if remembering something: "Are you the Ward Pirates?"
"I know our names...... Ward puffed out a puff of cigarette, "I thought it was a hairy boy who dared to break in without knowing anything, this kind of guy is a complete fool." But there is an even more stupid one, that is, knowing that this is a tiger's den, and still daring to come and look for death. ā
"Did you hear from that girl in the village about you, the hero of Green Island? Rhodes was unimpressed by Ward's provocation.
Ward's eyes lit up: "Is there a village around here?" ā
"Don't you fight?" Rhodes was a little surprised.
"Now I'm going to get down to business, so I'll spare you. There seemed to be some secret in Ward's deep eyes, "Where is that village?"
"That's a pity. Rhodes was a little disappointed, "Village, follow this road all the way, and you will soon be there." ā
"Thank you. Ward's gang began to move forward and took the initiative to bypass Rhodes' gang.
Ward's gang faded away, disappearing in the way.
"What a bunch of weird guys......" Rhodes' eyelids jumped.
