"What a headache......

The young man looked at the flow of people shuttling next to him and the port in the distance, and muttered to himself in distress, "Do you want to go to sea to be a pirate?" ”

He's been struggling with this for a long time.

Ever since he witnessed the scene of Xano being surrounded by countless navies in the port of GLP two years ago, killing rats in seconds and leaving with a dashing smile, he has always regarded Xano as an idol, dreaming of one day setting sail for the great voyage and making a name for himself.

However, it is not easy to realize this dream, and the power under his command has just developed, and it is not easy to gain a foothold in Rogue Town, so it is a pity to give up directly.

What's more, Grandma, who raised him since childhood, is very old, and Bartolomeo is afraid that if he leaves like this, Grandma has no one to fulfill his filial piety, and if he dies suddenly one day, he will not be able to be by his side......

He will never be able to forgive himself for the rest of his life.

"Hey, Bartow!"

When he was distressed, a crisp shout suddenly came from behind him, and he subconsciously turned his head to look, only to see a girl with short pink hair standing at the corner of the street, smiling and waving her hand to his side.

"What's wrong, Dezaya?"

Seeing his childhood sweetheart who had been playing together since childhood, Bartolomeo was in a much better mood, and said with a smile, "Is there anything wrong?" ”

"Well, of course!"

Dezaya grinned and handed over a roll of newspaper in the back pocket of his jeans, "Now, you can see it yourself." ”

"Newspapers? What's going on......"

Bartolomeo muttered and took the newspaper, and after unfolding it, he was still a little disapproving, and he was stunned for a moment, and then a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and he jumped up directly excitedly:

"The guy who actually defeated the one billion Bailey bounty is really worthy of Xia Nuo...... Ouch! ”

But he was so excited that he hit his foot when he landed, and he fell to the ground with a scream.

"Haha, I know this kind of reaction from this guy of yours!"

Dezaya on the other side almost smiled and bent over, she didn't help, just gloated next to Bato and waited for Bato to stand up by himself, and then said a little sourly: "I said you, every time I see a report from this Lord Xiano, I am very excited, and I also entrusted my subordinates to collect news about him everywhere, as for you?" ”

The implication is that I haven't seen you care so much about my mother.

However, Bato, as a purebred straight man of steel, didn't hear the meaning of Dezaya's words at all, but waved his hand violently and grinned: "Of course! I'm a big fan of Lady Xano! ”

Speaking of which, he recently plans to change the name of the Bartolomeo Club he founded to the Charno Fan Club.

“……”

Dezaya was speechless, she looked at Bartolomeo, who was intently browsing the newspaper, suddenly snorted, turned around and left.

"Huh?"

When Dezaya walked more than ten meters away, Bartolomeo noticed that he scratched his head in some confusion, but after all, it was important to read the report, so he didn't think much about it, and buried his head in the newspaper again.

"It's really thrilling to watch......"

The newspaper description of the battle was so detailed that Bartolomeo seemed to have seen it with his own eyes, and he remembered the scene that had taken place in the port of GLP two years earlier, and finally gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

No matter what, he has to hurry up and get rid of all the trivial matters at hand, within this month, he must go to sea!

…………

The Great Voyage, the City of Queens in Spring.

In the dim small hotel, at the door of a room on the second floor, a thin man in white overalls was smoking cigarettes one after another, looking out the window boredly at the bustling street scene.

Knock, knock, knock.

The sound of dull footsteps suddenly came from the staircase, and the thin man followed the sound just in time to see a figure wearing a white leopard-spotted velvet hat and a long sword on his shoulder walking up the stairs.

"Captain." The thin man hurriedly greeted him, and complained by the way, "Why did you come so late, didn't you say that you would come back at half past six?" ”

"Ah, I'm sorry, I bought a copy of the newspaper by the way, but when I saw the news that Xia Nuo was in charge, I accidentally read it for a while, and I delayed a lot of effort."

The man who came was not very old, only a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old, he raised the newspaper in his hand, glanced at the closed door, and asked casually, "Is that guy awake?" ”

"It's been a while since I woke up, but he didn't pay attention to my questioning, saying that he just wanted to talk to you, captain."

The thin man was a little angry when he said this, "What kind of person! Obviously, it was our Hearts Pirates who saved him, but every time they put on such a stinky attitude, they knew that they should have thrown him back into the sea at that time! ”

"After all, it's a person from the world government, so it's normal to be a little arrogant."

The young man was none other than Terfalgar Rowe, compared to a year ago, at this time he had grown a beard, and his face looked much more mature, at this moment he smiled lazily and handed over the newspaper in his hand, "Okay, you've been guarding it for so long, it's time to go and rest, and leave the rest to me." ”

"Yes, Captain."

The thin man glanced at the newspaper, his eyes lit up, showing a look of surprise, but he didn't say much, nodded and turned away.

And after seeing his partner's back go away, Luo looked at the door and squinted, pushed it open and walked in.

The room was dimly lit, and a man was lying on the bed, his eyes slightly closed, as if he was sleeping.

He had a beard, about twenty years old, and his appearance was very ordinary, but his eyebrows were distinctive, hanging to the left and right, like two scythes of death.

"You're finally here."

Hearing footsteps, the man opened his eyes and said calmly.

"Well, it looks like you're almost healed." Luo came to the bedside and said in a casual tone, "How is it, Lu Qi, how did I think about my previous proposal?" ”

"I promise you."

The man was silent for a moment, then spoke in a low and powerful voice: "Califa and Bruno will join your Hearts Pirates with me, but again, this is only temporary, as soon as we get the news of Spendham's whereabouts, we will leave immediately and go for revenge." ”

"No problem, it's your freedom."

A hint of surprise flashed in Luo's eyes, but he hid it well, so on the surface, he just raised an eyebrow, and then smiled and stretched out a hand to the man on the hospital bed: "Then, welcome a-"

"The strongest member of the former CP9, and the current World Government's bounty wanted criminal, Mr. Rob Lucci."

Rob Lucci frowned, obviously a little uncomfortable with the change in his identity, but in the end he reached out and held Luo tightly.

After all, there is no way to do it.

About half a year ago, two legendary giants from a hundred years ago, the green ghost Dongli and the red ghost Brocky, after learning that two of their subordinates were deceived into going to Justice Island to guard the gate for a hundred years, attacked Justice Island in a fit of rage, resulting in serious losses to the island's garrison and CP department, and the entire judicial institution was almost destroyed, shocking the whole world.

The world government was furious, and while sending the navy to surround and intercept the giant pirates, it also held accountable those responsible for the incident.

As a result, CP members such as Kaku, Bruno, Lion Take, and Otono Owl, who had been defeated and killed, were disqualified from the pension, and the three of Luchi Kalifa, who had survived by relying on Bruno's door, were listed as bounties and had no choice but to embark on the road of escape.

Unfortunately, the three of them were unlucky, they encountered an ocean storm on the way to escape, and almost died in the belly of the fish, but fortunately, the ships of the Red Heart Pirates happened to pass by and rescued them, which can be regarded as picking up a life.

Therefore, choosing to live in the Heart Pirates is not only due to Luo's warm invitation, but also their only way out at the moment.

"It's also a blessing to save my life......

Rob Luqi, who withdrew his hand, took a deep look at Luo Hou beside the bed, and muttered silently in his heart.

However, Lu Qi himself knows very well that this is just a temporary measure, he looks down on pirates from the bottom of his bones, and he has never intended to become a pirate, as long as he can find Spendham to confront him, he can avenge himself in front of the world government and become a member of the CP department again.

And that is the only destination for him in this life.
