Chapter 287: Four years in the blink of an eye
The year 1508 of the Haiyuan calendar.
Four years have passed since Bit's restoration of the epee into two blades.
After four years of growth, Nami is five years old. Nokigao is also eight years old. Five-year-old Nami doesn't know who is influencing her, but now she's very interested in things like navigation and charts.
Nokigao is different. When he was six years old, she proposed to get an orchard. She wants to grow some fruit herself.
At first, Bit offered her to grow bananas or peaches. But Nokigao doesn't like bananas and doesn't like peaches. She felt that the two fruits were not to his taste.
Bit also suggested that Nuoqi grow watermelons. However, after studying the research himself, Nokigao rejected Bit's suggestion. The land in Frost Moon Village is not suitable for growing watermelons.
Later, Nokigao also planned to grow pears or apples. But Bit refused. He found these two fruits to be unpalatable!
In the end, Nokigao decided to grow oranges. The difference in taste between her and Bit was a little bigger, and that was one of the few answers that both of them were satisfied with.
In fact, if this was Nuoqigao four years ago, she wouldn't necessarily care so much about Bit's feelings.
But after all, four years have passed. Notchy's attitude towards Compare and Melly has also changed from the initial wariness to dependence.
Besides, even if she opened an orchard, she Nuoqigao couldn't handle all the work in the orchard alone, and she needed Bit's help anyway.
Guina, who is also eight years old, has shown her talent in kendo. The ordinary swordsmanship master in Yunshiro's Ichishin Dojo is no longer her opponent.
Melly's shipyard has also seen a boom in business in recent years. Because there is a supernova in the pirates, a supernova that has a bounty of hundreds of millions in less than a year after going to sea. The mast of his pirate ship is engraved with a line of words:
"Made at the Meili Shipyard in the Tokai Frost Moon Village". With this line of words, many pirates in the East China Sea are willing to go there to build a pirate ship.
Moreover, in 1506, this super pirate nova who had not been in the New World for a long time led people to break into Cake Island, the residence of Big Mom, the top pirate in the New World, and escaped with his whole body.
This incident once again detonated the whole world, and also pushed the fame of the Shanks Pirates and the East China Sea Merry Shipyard to the peak.
However, in this case, all the pirates who went to Merry's shipyard to build a pirate ship obediently paid the ship fee.
This brings us to another well-known pirate. Bucky the Clown. On the left side of his pirate ship is engraved the same line on the mast as Shanks the pirate:
"Made at the Meili Shipyard in the Tokai Frost Moon Village".
These are the only two pirate ships with such words engraved on them. None of the other pirate ships had this line engraved.
Bucky came to Bit in 1505 to build a ship and go to sea. He did the same thing as Shanks - arrears in shipbuilding. He will also pay the bill with the treasure he will gain from his later adventures.
After that, Baji was ready to sail for the Great Sea, but while he was in Rogue Town, he heard pirates talking about building a ship at Merry's shipyard and not paying the bill!
Bucky couldn't bear it. Bucky didn't know why Merry started building ships, and even if she wasn't in it for money, then these pirates couldn't help it!
Enraged, Bucky dismantles the pirate ship, killing them all.
Bucky piled their heads at the gate of the naval base in Rogue and returned to Frostmoon Village.
After gaining the consent of Bit and Melly, he hoisted his pirate flag in Merry's shipyard and began the purge in the East China Sea.
Bucky released a message in the East China Sea, asking all the pirates who had built pirate ships at Merry's shipyard and had not yet paid them to make up the money twice as much in three days.
Naturally, the pirates wouldn't care about the words of this unknown little pirate who offered a reward of 10 million for Roger's name.
But after that, they paid for their actions. Bucky did find them one by one, and then wrecked the boat they had hit. By the way, their treasures were confiscated.
As a result, Bucky became famous in the East China Sea. Not only did he become famous, but he also became famous with Meili Shipyard.
Before Bucky left the East China Sea, the bounty was already 30 million. Not even Shanks can compare to this. He also began to become famous only after arriving at the Great Voyage.
In this way, Bucky slowed Shanks by two years. He went to sea two years later, Across the New World two years later, and even arrived at Cake Island, where the pirate Big Mom was stationed, two years later.
That's right. Now, Bucky stands on the edge of the island of Cake Island. His crew followed him.
Bucky and his members have never lost along the way. The gang is now inflated.
And Bucky's expression was not as arrogant as that of his companions behind him. Now Bucky's expression was simply mixed.
Back then, he almost died on this island. Moreover, it's just the soul clones of Big and Mom.
"Guys, this island is dangerous. You can wait for me on the boat. Bucky greeted his companions with a rare, extremely serious look.
"It's all right, Captain. As long as you're here, you say we'll go to the Navy Headquarters!"
"Yes, Captain! We haven't experienced anything all these years, just a cake island, what is there to be afraid of!"
Bucky's crew coaxed behind Bucky. To sum up, they are not afraid of heaven and earth, and they are not even afraid of death. It's about following Bucky to the island.
Bucky cut off, ignored them, and walked back to the island. A short time later, Bucky's voice came from the depths of the island:
"Big Mom, I'm back with Bucky!"
……
In the South China Sea, on an island where no grass grows and the sun is scorching.
A stout guy half-naked, with bronzed skin and two horns on his head, was looking up to the sky and smiling.
"Roger, they have been practicing in the West Sea for three years, and they have been invincible in the world since they went to the New World, and I, I have been practicing in the South China Sea for ten years!!!
The laughter of this giant man swept the entire desert island, and even spread outward.
"This time, I won't lose to you again, Roger !! Shiki!!!" roared as the strong man walked up to his companions.
"Let's go, let's go to the sea to the new world!"
"Yes, Captain Tayster. This time, the name of our Iron Bull Pirates will definitely be worn all over the world!" said a strong man wearing a helmet in front of him.
"Don't call me Test, Jack. The horned giant man said in a low voice.
"Call me Kaido. ”[.]
