Chapter 39 Lao Tzu is eighteen years old

In just three days, the number of pirates buried in Tang En's hands reached a staggering three hundred and sixty-four!

Kuzan himself, on the other hand, arrested one hundred and twenty-three people.

The strong alliance of the two completely suppressed the waters of Alabastan, so that the pirates were frightened and fled, and they no longer dared to rashly come out and do anything wrong.

On the fourth day, Kuzan separated from Donn because he could not see the cruelty and ruthlessness of his methods.

On the same day, on a remote island near the edge of the windless zone, a pirate ship slowly sailed out of the harbor.

"Captain, I heard that the Scarlet Major is going around to catch pirates, will it be dangerous for us to set off at this time?"

The young pirate, who was about sixteen or seventeen years old, asked with some trembling.

And the captain in his mouth, dressed in coarse cloth clothes and wearing a torn captain's hat, laughed when he heard it.

"Don't be afraid, boy, you follow Lao Tzu, it will be fine."

"Absolutely!!"

"Lao Tzu is Captain Rhodes with a bounty of 5,555!"

Its loud and exaggerated sound is like a morning bell, which makes people's ears hurt.

"It's just that I'm older."

As soon as the words fell, a young man behind him muttered.

Captain Rhodes' ears were pointed, and when he heard this, he turned his head and roared.

"What did you say?"

"Lao Tzu is eighteen years old! I repeat, eighteen years old!! ”

"It's just that I'm in a hurry!"

But what I didn't expect was that the young man behind him rolled his eyes again when he heard this.

"You're in a hurry!"

Then, he muttered again.

"I'm obviously fifty years old, and I still come to a place like the Great Passage to wade through muddy waters, I really don't understand you, Rod!"

Hearing being ridiculed and disgusted by his own crew, Rhodes laughed out loud instead.

"Hahahaha, you young people, why are you so unenergetic!"

"To be like me, full of dreams for the future, I, Rhodes, want to become the man of One Piece, be the king of the sea, and find the great secret treasure ONE PIECE!"

The loud voice shook the ship, and the crew covered their ears and patted their foreheads speechlessly.

They have been living together with this old Rhodes for two or three years, and this guy who is about to step into old age from middle age will always be so positive, enthusiastic, and more positive than young people. What's even more outrageous is that he still has a dream of becoming One Piece.

However, perhaps it was the other party's emotion, this spirit, that infected them, that attracted them and became the crew of this man.

For them, Rhodes was their captain, but he was also their companion, and he also sometimes acted as a father.

Because, there are a total of eight people on this ship, seven young people, all orphans who have lost their relatives since childhood.

"However, I still think it's dangerous to go to sea now."

The woman with the ponytail said with a frown.

"Don't be afraid, this route is remote, we are driving forward near the windless zone, and when we reach the next sea area, the blood-colored major will never be touched again!"

Rod smiled and gave a thumbs up.

"You just said you weren't afraid of that Scarlet Major? Unexpectedly, it was this idea! ”

The young man who had just spoken spoke again.

Old Rod was annoyed and angry: "That's because my old man doesn't know like a young man, I heard that guy is just a fifteen-year-old boy, I let him!" ”

When these words were spoken, the whole ship pouted, not wanting to argue with him.

"Let's think about how to eat the next meal, our food reserves are seriously insufficient, alas, the people on this island don't give us food, it's so ruthless!"

Patting her shriveled belly, the ponytail girl sighed.

Hearing this, Rod's eyes also darkened, but soon he raised his hand and clenched it into a fist: "Believe me, there will be a good situation soon!" ”

"Isn't a true warrior to step through thorns and get through the most difficult and difficult days?"

Everyone on board was silent, but the light in their eyes lit up at this moment.

Rhodes is right, they have gone through countless hardships along the way, but they have not come here?

As the ship slowly sailed away from the island and toward the sea, Rhodes stood on the canvas rope, pulling the rope and looking into the distance, checking the record pointer to determine the direction of the voyage and guide the crew at the helm.

Gradually, half an hour passed.

Everything was as usual, nothing happened, and the worried Scarlet Major did not appear, which could not help but make the crew breathe a sigh of relief.

Rod jumped off the rope and laughed out loud three times.

"Hahaha, I just said it, this line is absolutely fine!"

"Further on, but there is no wind belt, even if it is the navy, it will never come easily!"

However, as soon as his words fell, the ponytail girl who was sitting by the boat fishing had her pupils shrinking in an instant, and the young man in coarse cloth standing behind her also changed her complexion.

"That's, that's!!"

Following the gaze of the two, the crew's expressions changed and they spit out two words.

"Navy!!"

In the distance, a banana boat, only two meters long, is sailing like a sharp arrow on the sea. At its tail, it spewed out explosive flames, increasing the speed of the ship to terrifying levels.

And on top of the banana boat, there is a navy with a serious face and a cold face!

"The boat, so small!"

Rod was stunned.

He had never seen such a small ship run so fast at sea, it was an exaggeration.

"Hey, hey, hey! Attention, it shouldn't be there, Captain, that guy is. ”

The young man who had taunted him at first, nervous, shouted loudly.

"Scarlet Major!!"

Rod's expression changed suddenly, and he immediately squinted.

Behind the neat and clean navy uniform, the broken, blood-colored cloak of justice was shaking because of the strong wind.

Scarlet Major!

In the vast sea, I really ran into him.

"It's really fateful."

Rod muttered.

Then he jerked around and walked himself to the rudder.

"Turn around, let's avoid him!"

For the rumored fierce major among the pirates, the pirates are still very jealous, and old Rhodes is even more reluctant to meet the other party.

At this moment, the two sides are still far away, and it is completely too late to leave here.

"Where are you going?"

"No Wind Belt!!"

Rhodes spit out these three words in his mouth, causing the crew's faces to change greatly.

At the same moment, behind the group, on the banana boat, Don was looking at the shabby, but clean, skull with a funny sunflower head painted on the sails.

"Pirates!"

Leng Leng spat out two words, and the explosion transmitted to the banana boat from the soles of his feet increased slightly.

"Boom, boom!"

The roar continued, and in an instant, the banana boat was moving faster.

This ship is a recent windfall, Captain Cullen, according to his ability, specially asked the shipwrights of Alabastan to build an improvised ship, as long as his explosive combustion power is used as an energy source, it can achieve fast navigation on the sea.

It's just that the size of the ship is limited, and it can only carry him alone.

As the power of the explosion increased, the speed of the banana boat increased, and the distance between Donn and Rhodes and the gang quickly closed.

When the distance between the two sides reached about three hundred meters, the cold color in Tang En's eyes deepened.

With a stroke on its cuffs, several steel balls the size of marbles and black throughout their palms immediately appeared.

Grabbing it with his thumb and middle finger, Don aimed at the pirate ship in front of him and slammed into it.

"Pop the beads!"

In the blink of an eye, a sharp sound of breaking the air sounded, and the speed of the small marble increased to the limit under the ejection force of the explosion.

On the Rhodes ship, the young crew's eyes widened and a sense of danger arose in their hearts.

"Something's coming!"

Rod's pupils constricted, and he jerked his head up.

At the moment when it looked up, a strong wind suddenly swept over, and the sound of explosions burst out from the stern of the ship, and a large area of fire covered everything.

"We, we've been hit!!"

The crew yelled, then turned to stare at Don.

"What the hell did that guy do?"

Obviously completely! Didn't see the shells!!
