The dark clouds had cleared, and the warm sunlight shone on the sea. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Rhodes and Tyton lay on the deck of the Nova, shirtless, carrying their already soaked clothes.

"Whew...... Call...... It really happened...... "Tateton now thinks back to the scene when the Nova crashed into the waves at full speed.

"Ah...... In short, it was a success. Rhodes laughed, "The first day was so exciting, the sea is really full of unique charm." ”

Tyton closed his eyes and said: "In the future, this kind of tossing thing should be less, it is a miracle that a small ship like the Nova can gallop so unscrupulously in a stormy night, and it may fall apart in the future." ”

Rhodes stroked the deck of the Nova and said with a look of pity: "I can't bear my precious ship, let's come back when I have a big ship in the future, haha!"

After surviving a night of storm, the exhausted duo lay down on the deck and fell asleep.

I don't know how long it took, but it was when Rhodes suddenly felt a strange look on his face, and he slowly woke up, and he touched something cool on his forehead.

"What, it's sticky. Rhodes reached back and looked at it, "Ahhh

Tyton, who was still sleeping soundly, was also awakened by Rhodes's startled voice, and he thought that he had just run into pirates when he went out to sea, but he never expected that it was actually just bird poop.

"Not really, right? Rhodes. Tate looked at Rhodes helplessly.

……

In the midst of the fighting, a small island in front of me came into view.

Tyton took out the map and said, "Here we are, the first stop, the village of Sirob." ”

"The name...... It's a little familiar......" Rhodes stood on the deck, and the boat slowly leaned against the shore.

"Look, Captain. Tetton exclaimed, pointing to the shore of the other half.

Rhodes looked in the direction Tyton was pointing and said, "It's a pirate ship with a broken bow......"

Within a few seconds, Rhodes seemed to understand something, and immediately launched a shave and rushed over.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Tetton followed, and he had learned to shave under Rhodes for the past three years, but he was not very proficient.

When Tyton arrived, he found the aisle in shambles, with Rhodes crouched to the side, and a man in black who had fallen to the ground in front of him.

"Oh, was there just a battle here?" Tyton stepped forward.

"Yes. Rhodes was checking the man's injuries.

Tyton stared at the man who fell to the ground and said, "Why does this person look familiar......"

"It is rumored that he was captured by that sailor named Monka three years ago. Rhodes gave a brief introduction. In fact, he already knew it when he saw the ship and the pirate flag.

The village called Sirob, which was vaguely familiar to him, was the village where Usopp was located.

"Hundred Tricks...... Tyton was startled, "Didn't he get caught three years ago?"

"Not surprisingly, the one who was arrested three years ago should be his stand-in. Rhodes told the truth about why Chloe was still alive in a different way.

As soon as Rhodes finished speaking, Tyton put his hands on Chloe.

"Don't rush it. Rhodes stopped Tyton, "I want him to join us." ”

"But he's a pirate......" Tyton said.

Rhodes waved his hand and said, "In the future, we will too, and if we want to dominate that place, we still need a right-hand man." ”

"You pick him up and take him back to the boat, and I'll go to the village to see if there's a place to buy medical supplies, and he's still badly injured. Rhodes said.

Although Teton looked dissatisfied, he still carefully carried Chloe on his shoulder.

"Then I'll wait for you on the ship. With that, Tyton led Chloe towards the Nova.

Rhodes saw Tyton leave, and walked towards the village of Sirop himself.

As soon as he entered the village, he suddenly stopped.

"Perhaps, they haven't gone yet. Rhodes whispered, and sped off to the side.

"It's a bit old, but it's a boat I designed. ”

As soon as Rhodes passed, he heard a man with white hair curled up like wool introducing the ship with which he knew so well.

"Skeletal structure, light sailing boat using a spinnaker stern stern center rudder method.

It's called the Golden Merry. ”

Rhodes' eyes shifted to see the Straw Hats, and the man was introducing Luffy and the others to the operation of the Golden Merry.

Just as Rhodes was staring intently at Luffy and the others he had seen for the first time in this world, there was a rumbling sound behind him, accompanied by screams.

Extremely alert, Rhodes jumped up and hid in the bushes on the side, when another familiar figure appeared.

Usopp is rolling down in front of Luffy and Zoro in the same tragic way as in the anime.

And then, everything is just like the plot of the original book, Luffy successfully invited Usopp on board.

Rhodes watched it all in silence.

"Ah, we went to sea at about the same time. Rhodes smiled slightly, "It's really fate." ”

Rhodes watched as the Golden Merry faded away, and he let out a sigh and landed in front of Merry and Kaya.

"Who are you?!" Merry stood in front of Keya, a wary expression.

"My name is Abner Rhodes, and I want to ask where there is a medicine sale, and my friend is injured. Rhodes said.

Keya timidly asked, "Is your friend injured?"

"Huh. Rhodes touched his head and said, "Fortunately, the problem is not very big, his physique is not bad, and he recovers quickly with some medicines." ”

"Why don't you go to my house, I can help your friends take a look." Kéya saw Rhodes' grinning appearance and let down her guard against him.

"Don't bother, I just need some medicine. Rhodes didn't want to see him take Chloe to Kya's house and then be kicked out by him.

Mei Li glanced at Keya behind her and said, "Okay, we have it at home, come with us." ”

followed Mei Li and Keya to the house, perhaps because she saw that Rhodes did not have any unusual behavior, and Mei Li, who was originally nervous because of Chloe's incident, also relieved herself and handed over the medicine and gauze to Rhodes.

"Thanks, Merry. Rhodes pulled the money out of his pocket and handed it to Merry.

"You're welcome. Merry took the money, "Huh...... How do you know my name is Merry?"

Rhodes was already far away, but he still turned his back to Merry and said, "That ship, your name will be spread throughout the world in the future." ”

"Gold...... Merry!"
