This is the starting point, and the lighthouses of the Twin Headlands have been guiding the way of voyagers since fifty years ago.

From evening until dusk the next day, the screams of a young man could be heard in the hut at first, but now there was nothing but the brutal movement of the human being cut open.

For the whole night, the crew could not sleep peacefully, praying for something for the unfortunate young man. Although they are pirates, they can be chosen as a companion by the red-haired boy, naturally they are not pure inferiors, and it may be more appropriate to call them adventurers chasing dreams.

Welcoming the afterglow of dusk, Kurokas came out of the hut and took off his blood-soaked gloves, touched the sweat on his head, and then unceremoniously snatched the rum from Shanks' hand and gulped it down.

"Mr. Kulokas, how's it going?"

With absolute confidence in the superb medical skills of the person in front of him, Shanks asked with a smile.

"Well, most of the injuries have already been taken care of for him. However, this guy seems to have overdosed on stimulants and stuff like that, and there are multiple toxins in his body that repel each other. I've run out of neutralizing potions at hand, and I've washed his stomach by the way, and it's still unknown whether he can wake up, and even if he does, his consciousness may be affected, but in short, I've done my best to do what I can, and the rest is up to fate. ”

"What, it's really irresponsible."

"Who the hell is the person who threw this guy to me without permission?!"

"Aha, you drink, you drink."

As it passed through the water gate, the impact of the sea water caused a small wound on the cheap boat, so several old men who had never repaired the boat began to bang on the damaged hull. The willow nails and iron plates embedded in the hull of the ship really made Kurokas break out in a cold sweat.

Is this how these people sail on such broken ships? Do you think that no leakage is enough?

The elderly Kulokas was reluctant to meddle in the affairs of the young man, but he looked at the immature red-haired boy in front of him with great satisfaction.

"yes, you're going to the same path Captain Roger took?"

The red-haired boy touched his nose and smiled heartily.

"I don't know who the captain is waiting for, but the sea is fascinating! I also want to go through the adventure again to live in vain! ”

"Hey, the kid who used to only wipe the deck has become able to talk, hahahahahahahaha, not bad. Anyway, what about that kid Bucky, didn't he come with you? Haven't you always been inseparable? ”

"Bucky, I'm sorry I invited him. But he angrily said that he wanted to form a pirate group that would not lose to Captain Roger, and he wanted to be the captain himself, and he wanted me to be his subordinate, which is not good! I'm the one who is the captain! ”

"Hahaha, your relationship is still as good as ever."

After a day and a night of surgery, the tired Kurokas still held on to his spirits and drank and chatted with Shanks and his party. It's been a year since the captain died, and Kulocas, as the ship doctor of One Piece, has returned to this twin cape that has guarded all his life. He probably won't leave here again for the rest of his life, and it would be such a joy for this elderly man to be able to meet an acquaintance.

"Captain Roger...... Roger is ...... Eh, is it possible, Shanks, you, a crew member of One Piece?! ”

The thick-lipped crew with black curls of hair asked the overly shocking question on behalf of everyone.

The red-haired boy who was three points drunk shook the wine bottle in his hand, picked his nose, and after flicking away a ball of boogers, he turned his head seriously.

"Didn't I tell you, Jesus?"

"I didn't say anything so important! Idiot! ”X9

The undignified captain was instantly knocked to the ground by his own crew, and bottles of rum were poured into their mouths one after another.

"Hahahahaha."

Kulokas happily watched the young people messing around, blowing on a bottle of wine to themselves. Although he was drinking with a long-lost acquaintance, his attention was still on his own room.

"I've picked up a monster, Shanks, I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse."

With such an injury, Kulokas carried out a rough treatment with the attitude of a dead horse as a live horse doctor, but he didn't expect that the young man to survive with amazing vitality. Besides, after several years of sailing in the New World, Kulokas recognized the face, the one that resembled a rare bounty of six points.

You must know that the kid in the room was only ten years old when he was rewarded! Since then, they have had to face the prying eyes of countless bounty hunters, and the naval pirates are counting on the human head of more than 90 million Bailey. Kulokas still remembers the heartfelt sense of surprise and pity he felt when he saw the child in a pile of vicious bounty lists.

"Is that kid your partner? Shanks. ”

The captain, who had been beaten to the point of blue nose and swollen face, took the wine handed over by Kurokas and replied with some expectation.

"I happened to meet it, but I really want such a great guy to be my companion."

The overly naïve words made Kulokas shake his head.

"Really...... This guy is a pirate with a slight reputation in the New World, and the news about him so far has not been good. Even if you save his life, this guy doesn't necessarily repay you. In terms of strength alone, ten of you are not necessarily this kid's opponent, what do you use to convince him? ”

"Hoo ......"

"Huh?"

Amid the old man's rambling, the young captain had already fallen asleep with the bottle in his arms. Kurokas laughed dryly twice, touching the door of his head, which had already been closed. The old man's nagging was too difficult for the young man to hypnotize, and Kurokas took out a blanket from the room and threw it on Shanks, who was sleeping on the floor. Kurokas, who had retrieved the bottle from Shanks, sat on his chaise longue and stared at the bright moon in the sky.

The Aur Jackson, this is their ship. There were all sorts of people on board, and on the most dangerous and final voyage, the ill-trained crew remained on land for the sake of their companions. But even then, two young sailors were left on board.

"Captain Roger, what do you see in these two imps...... Or is it another wayward nonsense, hahahahaha. ”

Kulocas, who was getting more and more tired, closed his eyes, the ship had been repaired so-so, and Shanks would be gone early tomorrow morning, and the badly injured imp inside would not be able to sail for the time being, so it was better to stay here for the first time. Well, maybe I'll see Bucky on his way to the Great Voyage after a while, hahaha, sleep......

"Oooo

Before he was asleep, the deafening sound woke up Kurokas, and he saw that the old man who had done more than half a hundred years wiped his face helplessly. There is a little ghost lying inside the house that needs to be taken care of, there is a stinky little ghost lying outside the house, and there is another little ghost to take care of in the water.

"Come on, come on, don't scream."

"Rab."
