"Give...... You...... Your pancake ......"

After twenty cakes were made, the owner of the biscuit stall was not as panicked as he was at the beginning, but he couldn't help but tremble a little when he handed it over in the bag, as if this hand was stretched out and sent to the wolf's mouth.

"How much?"

The old man took the bag with one hand, and with the other hand, he took out a small amount of money from his pocket, which frightened the boss and waved his hand again and again.

"No, no...... Don't ......"

"How can that work!"

The old man glared, "I'm not a bully bastard, how can I eat the white food of the common people!" ”

"That'...... That ......"

The owner of the biscuit stall nodded and wiped his sweat again, "100 baili for one biscuit, 20 biscuits, or you give 1...... 1500 berry, a little discount for you...... Hey...... Hey hey ......"

"What a joke! Does the old man seem to be a person who lacks that money? ”

The old man muttered while breaking his fingers and checked the loose money in his hand, 950 ......

No, check again!

950 Berry ......

"This ......"

"Let's stay with us!"

Madara, who had been standing next to him, suddenly spoke up and said something to the boss.

"Ahahaha......"

The old man touched the back of his head and laughed awkwardly, saying "How embarrassing is this", and reached out to take out a hot biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Whew...... It's so hot~ It's so hot, it's hot! ”

As soon as he bit into it, his mouth was steaming, and the old man gave Madara a thumbs up as he chewed, "What a good boy!" ”

"It's just a trifle, it's nothing!" Madara smiled and nodded, "Grandpa doesn't need to take it to heart like this!" ”

"Uh-huh, uh-huh! It's so rare that young people are not arrogant or impatient, and they are very caring! ”

The old man turned around with emotion and was about to leave, and as soon as he raised his steps, he suddenly turned around and grinned at Madara: "Young man, are you interested in coming over and chatting with the old man?" ”

"It's coming!"

Madara's heart tightened, but on the surface, he remained silent, still maintaining that gentle attitude, and stretched out his hand forward with a smile, "It's a blessing for a kid to get the guidance of the old-timers!" ”

"Ahahaha......"

The old man opened his mouth and took another bite of the pancake, laughing and walking forward, while Madara explained to Nami and told them to go shopping first, and then chased after them.

“…… Who's that old man? ”

At first, Nami's heart was still holding her breath, but seeing Madara's obviously weird performance, it was naturally not difficult to guess that there must be something wrong with this old man with her IQ.

"Don't you know him?"

The owner of the baked cake stall looked at Nami incredulously while kneading the dough, and saw that her expression didn't look like a fake, so he hurriedly "tsk", "He's ......"

"Vice Admiral of the Admiral, Karp!"

Aisha, who had been hiding in Cabalen's shadow as an invisible man, suddenly spoke.

"That's right! Right, right! That's him! ”

When the boss heard this, he immediately nodded violently, "It is said that he is still a hero of the navy, don't look at his hair is gray, but the neighbors say that this old man is actually old and powerful!" ”

"Vice Admiral ???!!!"

Nami exclaimed, she didn't know what a naval hero was, she only knew that this town was so big, why did the vice admiral of the Navy Headquarters appear here?

"No wonder that guy suddenly became so honest, it turned out that he had already recognized the identity of the old man!"

Nami hurriedly lifted her foot and tried to chase in Madara's direction, "Is he stupid?" Why do you have to follow it? ”

"Nami-san, Nami-san!"

Ai Sha hurriedly ran over and grabbed her arm.

"Aisha, why are you stopping me, I have to call him back quickly!"

"Don't be in such a hurry, Sister Nami!"

Ai Sa grabbed Nami's small hand and comforted her, "At least from just now, Karp didn't have any ill will towards us, did he?" Otherwise, it wouldn't have been him just now! ”

"Karp?"

Nami was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly realized that Ai Sha was the first to say this name just now, so she couldn't help but look at her with some suspicion, "Do you know that old man?" ”

Hearing her say this, Cabalen also reacted immediately, and looked at Ai Sha in surprise.

"I don't know each other, I can only say that I've met a few times!"

Confirming that Nami had calmed down, Ai Sa slowly let go of her hand, looking in the direction Madara had left, and a look of memory gradually appeared on her face.

"Four years ago, my country was at peace, albeit only on the surface...... That year, my father took me to the World Conference held in Mary Joa, and Karp was the chief of the security guard in charge of the Holy Land at that time, and he was also known as the 'Hero of the Navy', so I managed to ask him about something! ”

"Oh......"

Nami and Cabalen nodded slowly together, and then they both looked at her with blank eyes, the meaning is obvious, you go on, I'm listening!

Even the owner of the baked cake stall kneading the dough next to him unconsciously lightened his movements, as if he also wanted to hear what kind of flowers these guests who didn't look like ordinary people could blow out!

…………

On the other side, the old man Karp took the lead and strode in front, Madara following behind.

Neither of them spoke a word along the way, until they reached the seawall along the coast, and they had eaten five or six of the baked cakes in Karp's bag before stopping at a corner.

"Alas, what a young man! He has such a good heart and respects the old man so much......"

Karp turned to look at the vast sea, and while patting the guardrail of the stone carving with his hand, he sighed: "What do you say is not good?" Why do you want to be a pirate and have such a useless business? ”

"In this world, there is a lot of helplessness!"

Madara took a step forward, also leaning on the guardrail and looking at the sea, "You say, compared to those guys who bullied Nami, which of us is more like the navy?" ”

“……”

Karp's hand paused, and he looked at the sea and was silent for a while before he spoke again: "Although it is true that we have put too much energy into the great voyage over the years, thus ignoring the supervision of the four seas, but the appearance of a naval admiral like a rat is indeed an unjustifiable fault of the naval headquarters!" ”

Hearing this, Madara just smiled softly, he had always been dismissive of this kind of afterthought.

But Karp is not an ordinary old man, since he hasn't torn his face yet, then he should respect a little bit!

Perhaps Karp also knew how powerless his explanation was for the suffering, so even though he knew exactly what kind of sarcasm Madara contained in his smile, he didn't show the slightest bit of unhappiness.

It was another question that popped up that made him a little angry!

"Hey, I'm talking about you little one!"

Karp squinted at Madara, "Anyway, you're a pirate, why aren't you scared at all when you're with me, a vice admiral?" ”

"Why be afraid?"

Madara gave him a strange look, "So far, I haven't felt any malice from you, I'm going to be afraid of an old man who is just more able to eat?" ”

"An old man who can eat?"

Karp snorted dissatisfiedly, picked up a biscuit from the bag and stuffed it into his mouth, "Aren't you afraid that I deliberately tricked you into a trap to catch you?" ”

"Not so much~"

Hearing him say this, Madara immediately waved his hand very confidently, "You are a naval hero, who you want to catch is not a matter of reaching out, where is the use of playing this kind of routine!" ”

"And ......"

Madara suddenly turned his head with a smile, and his eyes had turned scarlet at some point, "Boy, if I really want to run, you won't be able to catch it anyway!" ”
