Aldrich Sea.

One of the seas ruled by the Golden Lion Pirates.

On the island of Aheng.

Three massive pirate ships are docked on the shore of the island of Aheng.

And on the beach it was obviously a carnival, a banquet of all kinds of pirates.

……

"Cheers to the great Captain Kidd, Captain Hawkins, Captain Apu." A drunken pirate shouted hoarsely as he held up a wine glass in his hand.

"Cheers."

"Cheers."

The pirates around the bonfire also raised their wine glasses and shouted loudly.

……

"Kidd, do you think that's too lax? You know, we're on the Golden Lion's turf right now. Hawkins frowned slightly as he listened to the constant howls of various ghosts outside the tent.

"What's the matter, isn't that great? You know, we've already defeated the Golden Lion's three fleets. Apu was very interested in the atmosphere.

Unlike in the original book, due to Luffy's attack on the Draconian, the yellow ape was attracted.

The current nine supernovas, but they haven't seen the real top combat power on the sea.

After defeating the three pirates under the Golden Lion, Apu was also a little complacent.

"Apu, don't underestimate the golden lion, what a simple person can spread his reputation in the sea." Kidd said aloud.

Kidd wouldn't be like Apu when it came to the Golden Lion, because the pirates he had defeated before didn't take the Golden Lion seriously.

Kira stood quietly behind Kidd, and as Kidd's brother, all Kira could do was stand silently behind Kidd.

As Kidd spoke, the scene suddenly fell silent.

"However, we will win in the end." The base raised the wine glass in his hand and said in a deep voice. "When we're almost rested, let's go, the throne of the Four Emperors is waiting for us."

……

"Kidd, our target this time is not those small characters from before."

There was a hint of solemnity in Hawkins' voice.

As for the information about Hiryu in the rain, Hawkins is very clear about it through the intelligence brokers of the dark world.

Originally subordinate to the chief of the Navy Submarine Prison, and the prison director Magellan, he was called the man with the double walls of the Submarine Prison.

After joining the Golden Lion Pirates, he defeated one of the four generals in the previous battle with the Bigu Mamu Pirates.

In the previous battles, he fought many times with Katakuri, the head of the four generals of the Bigu Mamu Pirates, without winning or losing.

It is known as the terrifying existence second only to the Golden Lion in the Golden Lion Pirates.

"It's just a swordsman under a golden lion, with the joint efforts of the three of us, even if the golden lion comes in person, even if we are defeated, we can leave safely." Apu didn't take Hawkins' words to heart.

In Apu's opinion, even if the Four Emperors personally took action, it would be impossible to easily take down the three of them who joined forces.

"Apu, it's better to be careful, I don't want to cause us to fail because of the underestimation of the enemy. As Hawkins said, this time the opponent is not the previous small characters. Kidd also frowned slightly, Apu was really a little too underestimated.

The escape Apu and the always calm Hawkins do not get along so harmoniously, and this pirate alliance can be established mainly thanks to Kidd's reconciliation in the middle.

"However, there is nothing to worry about, if we can't even beat the golden lion's men, how can we take off the golden lion's head?" Kidd said once again that at this juncture, Kidd would not easily lower the confidence of himself and others.

Although Kidd is wary of the Golden Lion, just like Apu, Kidd also thinks that even if he and the others are not the opponents of the Golden Lion, it is no problem to retreat safely.

"Yes." Hawkins was silent and pulled out a deck of tarot cards from his arms.

"Is it tarot again? Hawkins, you really believe in these strange things! Apu looked at the tarot cards that Hawkins pulled out, pouted, and suddenly lost interest.

For these things that the gods are talking about, Apu doesn't believe in them at all.

"I only believe what I see." Hawkins ignored Apu on the side.

Divination began.

As the divination progressed, Hawkins finally opened the tarot card that represented the future of himself and others.

A picture of a black and white lion pulling a chariot appeared in front of Hawkins.

"I see it, this time we're going to win." Looking at the chariot tarot cards that appeared in his hand, the corners of Hawkins' mouth rose slightly.

Hearing Hawkins's words, Kidd also smiled, after all, no one would hear anything unlucky before the war.

"I'll just say? With the combined efforts of the three of us, how could we not take a Hiryu of the rain. Hearing Hawkins' words, Apu approached with a bottle.

Although I don't believe in Hawkins's godly babbling.

But Hawkins's words still made Apu very satisfied.

"What does this card mean?" Apu reached out and touched the tarot card.

Hawkins frowned once again as he looked at the stains on the tarot cards.

Not to mention that Hawkins has a slight habit of cleanliness, and the tarot cards that are stained alone are no longer suitable for divination.

However, for his allies, Hawkins is not easy to attack.

"Apu, then this tarot deck will be given to you." Hawkins pinched the unstained part of the tarot card, stuffed it into the middle of the original tarot card, and handed it to Apu.

"I'm not interested in you stuff." After Apu borrowed the tarot card, he casually put it next to him. "However, since you gave it to me, then I will take it."

……

"Then let's celebrate our victory and raise a glass!" Kidd looked at Hawkins and Apu and raised his glass.

Adjust the atmosphere that was originally a little wrong.

With Kidd, the originally somewhat awkward banquet became lively again.

While the feast was in full swing, Apu played a piece of Binx's wine with his own arm.

And only Kira, one silently looked at the three of Kidd, and even the drinks in his hands did not diminish much.

Kira was originally a taciturn person, and after the Hawkins and the others got used to seeing Kira, they didn't care too much about Kira's reaction.

As for Kidd, he knows Kira even better.

……

As time passed, Kidd and the others, who had finished their rest, set sail and left the island.

And at the place where Kidd held the banquet, the tarot cards that Hawkins gave to Apu remained in place.

A gust of sea breeze blew, and the tarot cards scattered, and the previous chariot tarot cards fell into a bonfire with sporadic sparks.

The original picture of the chariot tarot card was slowly scorched by sparks, leaving only two mighty lions.
