Chapter Twenty-Four: The Wind Howls
"Can you give me that wanted warrant too?" Roach pointed to the one that had been attached to his wanted post, which showed the face of a panda cartoon.
The bartender hurriedly handed him the wanted warrant for the panda.
"Hey, I didn't notice it before, it's Gore. D. Roger's panda, the bounty is 10,000 Bailey, this is your crew? ”
Seeing the bartender smiling, the corners of Roach's mouth twitched, put the two wanted warrants into his arms, and gave a vague "En".
Just as the turmoil he caused subsided a little, the side dishes with wine were also served, all of which were some peanuts or pickled vegetables.
Seeing that everyone's attention was no longer focused on him, Luo Qi pulled the bartender over and asked, "How do you sell the wine here, I want to make a barrel." ”
"Fifty thousand Baileys a barrel, no bargaining, you must know that we are here to provide drinks for the Whitebeard Pirates." The bartender pointed to the flag on the wall and said, it was a flaming bird.
Roach nodded, he had just tasted beer, although it was not as mellow as Nancy's, but it was just as flavorful, and it was obvious that it was pure craft without water.
"Come to three...... No, four barrels, can I come and get the wine when I leave? ”
"Of course, we have enough drinks here, and the whole town is for winemaking."
"Thank you." After Luo Qi thanked him, he grabbed a few peanuts and ate them, at this time he suddenly remembered that the phone bug had not eaten for several days, so he took it out, and in order to hide people's eyes, he specially blocked it with his sleeve.
The little guy was obviously hungry, and after squinting at Roach, he threw himself into his palm and nibbled on peanuts.
There was a commotion around at this time, and Roach, who was focused on drinking, put away the phone bug and turned around, only to see a group of people arguing around a table.
Curious, he got up and walked over, probably because of his status as a pirate, and the crowd parted ways for Roach.
Roach squeezed in, walked inside, and saw a man with his back to him, wearing black shorts underneath, his upper body naked, a cowboy hat hanging behind his head, blocking the tattoo on his back, holding a knife and fork in both hands, and his head buried in the meat sauce noodles motionless.
And the reason why the crowd talked about it was because they felt that this man had suddenly encountered an accident, but Luo Qi felt that this person was a little familiar.
Looking at the tattoo on the man's arm, he couldn't help but read it: "ASCE, Ai...... Ace? ”
"Huh? Who's calling me? ”
The man suddenly woke up like a corpse, and the people around him were startled, he scratched his head, looked left and right, and ate the noodles again.
"It's so dangerous, I accidentally fell asleep while eating, and I almost choked to death, hahahaha."
Put the cowboy hat back on his head, and the tattoo on the back is completely revealed, which is the logo of the Whitebeard Pirates.
Seeing that it was a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, the crowd was shocked and immediately dispersed, and many of the faint-hearted chose to leave the tavern.
The bartender had apparently recognized the man's identity, but he did not disturb him from eating, and when he woke up, he served him a meat sauce noodle.
"No, I'm full." Ace waved his hand and smiled, with a few freckles on his handsome face, adding a bit of childishness.
"Okay, please bother us if there's something." The bartender bowed and slowly stepped away.
At this time, a cold sweat had already broken out behind Luo Qi's back, and Ace, who had just mentioned before the pheasant left, had only encountered it in a small half a day, and he couldn't help but feel bad in his heart.
But fortunately, Ace didn't target him, Lucky couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, looking at his back as he walked towards the door, and kept thinking about how to get out of here as soon as possible.
"That's right." Ace, who walked to the door, stopped, and he turned to look at the crowd in the hall and said.
"Are there any pirates here, I just want to get off the boat."
Everyone's eyes were on Roach, and he wanted to hide in the crack in the wall.
"It just so happens that my boat is broken, you can take me for a ride, just take me to the next island." Ace walked up to Roach very familiarly and hooked up with him.
"Well, I'm just a small boat, and my speed is limited after all." Roach had to keep pushing back.
"It's okay, I'm not in a hurry." Ace patted him on the shoulder and pulled Roach out of the tavern toward the outside of town.
"I can actually repair the ship, if you don't mind, I'll fix it for you." Naturally, Roach didn't want to take Ace with him, so he had to work to help him repair the ship.
"You don't say it sooner, it's okay."
Seeing that Ace immediately agreed, Luo Qi relieved himself, and after buying some planks in the town on the way, the two returned to the docks.
"Is this it?" Roach said in surprise, pointing to the boat that was more like a skateboard.
"Don't underestimate it, it's much faster than the average ship."
Roach was not idle, and said while mending the ship with wooden planks: "Ace, you are burning fruits, could it be that you are using the flame as a thrust to drive the ship forward?" ”
"Of course, you can also see that, there are a few brushes, so let's just come to my Spade Pirates."
"No, no, I already have the Pirates after all." Roach hurriedly refused, and at the same time he also stopped, Ace's ship was completely intact after simple repairs.
"Forget it, hahaha, by the way, what's your name?" Ace lowered the ship back into the sea and stepped on it, flames pouring out from the soles of his feet.
"My name is Roach, can I take the liberty of asking a question?" Roach saw that he was leaving, and spoke.
"Oh, it's okay, since it helped me a lot, just ask." Ace doesn't care.
"Why are you here all of a sudden?"
Ace reached out and pressed the cowboy hat on top of his head, and his eyes stared at the sea slightly: "Come and find someone." ”
With that, he waved his hand at Roach, and the flames under his feet swelled, propelling the ship into the distance.
What Ace didn't notice was that Roach's eyes narrowed, and he had already vaguely guessed the answer in his mind.
"Blackbeard betrayed the Whitebeard Pirates because of the Devil Fruit, and it seems that he killed a captain before leaving, the person Ace is looking for can't be Blackbeard........."
Thinking of this, Luo Qi hurriedly ran in the direction of the tavern, feeling uneasy in his heart, this place is definitely not suitable for a long time, if these two people really collide, it is not for him to interfere.
Ten minutes later, Rocky returned to his boat with four barrels of wine in his arms, gasping for breath, and prepared to return to the ship, when the oars moved at an alarming speed.
In just a moment, Rocky disappeared from view of the island.
