Pirates, it's nothing on this island, and the people on the island are accustomed to the kind of attachment to pirates' love of wine, just after drinking, don't get drunk, or take credit and eat overlord meals.

It can be seen that the pirates went to the island to buy wine and drink, which is still uneasy, but fortunately, there is a 'law enforcement overlord who will win and have money to take a three-person team' on the island.

This title is really complaining, Arka thinks so, needless to say, the law enforcement overlord must win and have the money to take the three-man team is Shanks, Bucky and Arka .

At first, Shanks and Bucky accidentally catch a pirate who is trying to run away on credit, and then they are out of control...... Baji didn't want to join, but when he heard that he had money to take, he immediately turned his eyes into banknotes, as for Alka...... Pure boredom.

So when the pirates came ashore, they saw such a picture......

Three little ghosts, one plays forward, one blocks the back road, and one does logistics, the three of them have their own strengths, and they cooperate very well, and it can be seen that this is not the first time.

And Alka, who does logistics, is really doing logistics the whole time, but when necessary, he throws a pebble and makes the opponent's dagger deviate a little, in fact, this is not used at all......

But......

Alka, who was in the logistics, stopped throwing pebbles, shifted his gaze from two to four, and turned to the group of pirates who appeared behind him and watched with relish......

This is the first half of the sea, and it is the beginning of the adventure of the entire sea, and there are only a few pirates who have landed on the shore, but this gang ......

Arka looked at them, and the fingers that were still holding the stone curled slightly, but finally let go, and in the next second they fell into it, they held it in their hands, crushed it with brute force, lowered their eyes, and resolutely made a move that was not quite in line with her style, so she had taken her gaze back.

Shanks's hands and feet are naturally needless to say, but since he fell in love with Western swords, he has majored in swords, and then punches and feet, even so, those guys can't suppress him; On the contrary, Bucky loves short knives, and he loses throwing knives when he has time, and it is needless to say that he is accurate, but his skills are still a little worse, but his luck is the best of the three.

For example, Arka fell and not only broke her head, but also threw the money out; And Bucky also fell, not only did he not get hurt, but he also picked up the gem...... It's a real thing.

So there's generally no need to worry about him being killed or something.

As for Arka herself, she is a person with a full level, but she can only use level 30 abilities, so she naturally doesn't take these level 10 guys in her eyes, which is also a disguised level for Shanks and Bucky.

She is really a good person who is rare to see in the virtual circle, Alkamer sighed, his hand habitually touched the handle of the long knife hanging from his waist, and touched the fingertips with thin calluses, and he didn't know if the knife had a blade......

But in the next second, I was disgusted by my disgusting feeling, and I shuddered, and sure enough, I stayed with humans for a long time, and any feeling could come out.

"Alka!" Shanks called out to the girl in a daze, with a hint of sweat on her forehead, but she said very forcefully, "I beat them all down." When this sentence is spoken, it feels a bit like asking for merit.

It turned out that while Arka was in a daze, Bucky and Shanks had already knocked the four adults down.

Bucky very consciously touched the pockets of several people who had fainted, touched it, did not let go of one person, and finally only touched out two small bags of money, Bucky trembled, listened, disgusted and dissatisfied, and said: "Tsk, it's actually two poor bastards...... " said and threw a bag of money to the store, and put a bag in his pocket......

"Bucky!" Shanks shouted, staring at his hand.

"Cut, okay, okay, I got it! Shanks, you beware of being poor for the rest of your life! ”

…… Actually, it's a curse, right?

Many years later, Shanks was really like Bucky said, the poor couldn't even take out his wife, this incident made Bucky, who became the Seven Martial Seas, and the money kept rolling into his pocket Bucky laughed for a long time, of course, after being beaten by Arka who inexplicably opened the short-term protection attribute, he also unceremoniously took away a bunch of treasures, and from then on, Arka and Shanks became the first in Bucky's blacklist, of course, this is a later story.

Bucky threw the money back very dissatisfied, Shanks's chicken behavior had been ridiculed by him more than once, but unfortunately the other party didn't care at all.

"Well done." Arka walked over and stepped on the face of the man who had been thrown to the ground after trying to get credit, a casual gesture that made Bucky tremble.

"Arka, I've already done it, plus four people today, it's exactly a hundred." Shanks was a boy and still in the development stage, and by this time he was already half a head taller than Arka, and when he looked at her, Shanks would lower his gaze, which happened to match Arka's eyes......

Beautiful, cold gray-blue, like the sea under a storm, the sun has not seen for a long time.

Alka was stunned for a moment by Shanks's words, tilted his head unconsciously, and thought about it for a while before remembering what he had promised him a month ago.

[As long as you catch a hundred guys who are trying to get money on credit and are drunk, I'll lend you the knife.] 】

A month ago, after accidentally wielding the Western sword that he snatched from someone else's hand, in distress, Shanks's eyes ran to the long knife that he had never seen Arka pull......

Arka looked at Shanks strangely, who had forgotten everything from time to time, but he didn't expect to remember it.

In his frustration, he finally untied the knife from his waist and said to him, "Don't swing and chop indiscriminately." ”

"Uh-huh!" Shanks nodded in agreement.

And Bucky also came over, his eyes were full of curiosity, and muttered: "What kind of knife is it that makes your baby like this, you can't even wave it, it can't be a rusty iron knife skirt."

'Ka-woo'

Shanks pulled out the knife, he wanted to see the blade more than the handle of the scabbard he was used to, and he had to say that he was just as curious as Bucky, but when the blade appeared, both Shanks and Bucky couldn't help but be surprised.

Under the sun, the blade exposed a corner was snow-white and shiny, and his face could even be reflected on the knife surface, and after the sound disappeared, the long knife was pulled out, and it was like a bright and dazzling gem in the sun, flickering, and after the blade was seen again, it continued to exude coldness.

Arka raised his chin slightly, looking at the blade that he hadn't looked at until now, and then heard the voices of others on the side.

"A good knife, a really good knife, sharp and resolute perseverance, this is a knife that will not break lightly, but unfortunately this knife has no soul."

Hearing this, Arka chuckled, how did this knife come about, and didn't she know that the feeling of falling off her body was not pleasant, soul? Heh, she's enough for one.

"It's beautiful......" Shanks looked at the sharp knife that could sharpen stones, and understood why Arka had told him not to chop indiscriminately.

After hearing this, Arka smiled and said, "After being stained with blood, it will be more beautiful......"

It's a bit of a middle two, but unfortunately no one hears it.

Finally, Shanks closed the knife and returned it to Alka, scratched his head, frowned, and said, "This knife is not suitable for me......"

"Huh?" Arka took it and put it back in place, looking at Shanks in bewilderment.

Seeing this, Shanks blushed, hurriedly shook his hand, and said, "Alka, I didn't mean that!" I mean, if it's easy, I want to borrow it from you for a few days......"

"I know, don't be so nervous, I'm sure you're not that kind of person." Arka said that this trust made Shanks's eyes wander with a smile, and it felt great to be trusted, but unfortunately the next sentence broke his boy's heart.

"Even if you want to rob it, I can knock you down every second."

Shanks was heartbroken, indeed, among the trio, Arka's strength was the strongest, and he was completely able to beat him down every second, but no matter how he listened, he felt so tired.

Arka plans to call it a day and go back to his temporary home, the Shanks' house.

That's the benefit of getting acquainted with the people on this island, having a place to live!

But before she had taken a few steps, Shanks shouted, "Arka! ”

“？” Alka turned her head and looked at the boy who stopped her.

"I—I'm going to be stronger! It's so strong that you won't be beaten down every second! Shanks clenched his hands and said firmly, his red hair fluttering in the breeze, just like his fighting spirit.

He's going to get stronger—

"And then?" Arka asked suddenly.

Shanks was stunned for a moment, and his eyes looked at Arka dumbly, and said, "Of course it's to protect you, Arka." He said it as a matter of course, as if it was Arka himself who was making the mistake.

Shanks added: "And Bucky, Mom and Dad, the hotel owner, the innkeeper, the restaurant uncle, everyone on the island!" He snapped his fingers, and finally found that there were too many people and his fingers were not enough, so he gave up breaking his fingers.

With that, Bucky jumped up and roared in the shark's mouth, "I'm going to be a pirate man!" Who wants you to protect!! ”

The surrounding residents laughed, some of them joking, and as for what, Arka didn't listen carefully, because she hadn't recovered from that sentence yet.

Protect her? It was the first time she had heard ......

For the first time, an indescribable wave of love welled up in Alka's chest.

For the first time again.

Arka steadied his feelings, looked at Shanks with gray-blue eyes and a red face, and said, "If you become stronger, I will also become stronger!" Idiot. ”

Arka rejected his kindness.

Shanks heard this, his eyes darkened a little, and then they lit up again, and shouted to the departing Arka, "Then let's get stronger together!" Alka! ”

Surrounded by many people, the red-haired boy opened his mouth and shouted at the light-brown-haired girl walking in front of him.

Then let's get stronger together, Shanks.

There is more to human potential than that.

Get stronger, Shanks, Bucky.

The corners of Alka's mouth curled slightly, she didn't notice that there was something more in her smile.
