This is the North Sea, the island of Flore, commonly known as the Island of Flowers. (Well, popularize it for all brothers, the English name of the flower is flower)

From the mouth of the road, he learned about the sea area where he was now, and he had no idea that Mary Joyry, from the Holy Land, would be washed here.

After dinner was finished, Roque took up residence at Lu Ming's house for the time being.

"Brother, are you a navigator?" Roque was a little surprised.

Because in the room with the name of the road, there are charts of the whole world, as well as charts of various sea areas, and he has also made special marks in some places on it.

"Huh? No, I'm not..."

Lu Ming looked at Roque with a little surprised eyes, and he was a little proud, "Let me tell you, although I didn't grow up in the ocean, my understanding of the ocean is no worse than yours." ”

Then he picked up a book on the table and said, "Do you know, there are four seas in this world, and in the middle of these four seas there is a legendary great shipping route, I heard that One Piece put the treasure at the end of that route." ”

Lu Ming obviously had the first person he could brag about, and he was very proud of Balabala and talked a lot.

Roque looked over and saw that Lu Ming was holding a logbook in his hand, and there were countless old logbooks piled up on his desktop.

For example, "The Voyage Days of Apollo", "Marco Polo's Great Voyage", "Let Go of the Female Pirate and Let Me Come", "The Secret Between Me and the Girl After Entering the Desert Island by Mistake"... cough cough cough... In the spirit of a serious nonsense, I casually wrote two books about the mountains.

Could it be that this extremely unremarkable young man in front of him will be an excellent navigator? A thought crossed Roque's mind.

Navigators are as precious as a treasure to this world, for this world is not only full of dangerous sea kings, but also a great voyage with countless terrifying and varied weather.

You must know that Nami in the manga has excellent sailing skills, and even the golden lion Shiki wants to snatch it.

Of course, even if Lu Ming could become a navigator, Roque didn't plan to invite him to join him, for no other reason than because he was too weak.

In this kind of world where people eat people, monsters eat people, and the ocean eats people, weakness is the original sin, and he doesn't have so much energy to say that he wants to protect a weak person.

If that's the case, he might as well go to sea alone.

"By the way, why do you know so much about the ocean?" Roque was a little confused.

Lu Ming's expression instantly darkened, "Actually, I collected so many charts and wanted to go out to find my father. ”

"Father?"

"Hmm... My father was an adventurer. ”

After hearing this, Roque understood in seconds, it turned out to be another person like Usopp's father, who left his wife and children behind and then stupidly broke into the sea.

In this world, it seems that every man likes to abandon his family and wife to emerge into the sea, think about One Piece Roger, even if he can become One Piece, what's the use? Didn't he finally die and cause his wife and son to be hunted down by the navy?

Roark has always felt that Gore D Roger is really stupid, isn't it more meaningful to die, for example, go to the Navy headquarters first to make a scene, and then go to destroy the entire Holy Land Mary Joa, isn't it cool?

"By the way, Roque, did you come with the caravan? But why was there a long knife stuck in his body when he floated over? I really thought you were dead. Lu Ming suddenly wondered.

"Oh no, I'm a pirate." Roque said calmly.

It's true that he has almost destroyed half of the Holy Land Mary Joy now, and the navy should have started to issue a bounty order for him, but I don't know how much the bounty can be?

"What?!"

"You, you're a pirate? Wow, isn't it fun for Roark to be a pirate, can you tell me about your experience? Lu Ming said excitedly.

“？？？”

This reaction is not right, in other words, don't ordinary people in this world have a deep hatred for pirates?

Say good disgust, say good surprise, and your father abandoned your mother and son to run away as pirates, you have to be shocked at least, why are you so excited?

"Well, it's okay, in fact, I fought with some pirates for three days and three nights before I ended up here." It's a pity that Roque doesn't have a cigarette in his hand, otherwise if he lights one, he must think that he looks very handsome now.

Lu Ming is actually sixteen years old this year, but Roque is better developed, so he looks about the same age as Roque.

But now he almost treats Roque as a big brother... Isn't it just a pirate, do you need to worship it like this?

Roque didn't know that Lu Ming had been looking out from the coast since he was a child, hoping to get his father back, but after so many years, he had already developed a different kind of affection for the sea.

In fact, he had already decided that sooner or later he would have to leave this place as well, and then go to the vast sea, so to speak, if it wasn't for worrying about his mother, he would probably have left with the caravan a long time ago.

"Roque, if you want to take me with you when you go to sea?"

"You?"

Roque looked at the excited road name and shook his head, "No. ”

"Why?" Lu Ming looked puzzled.

"Because you're too weak, and you're cowardly."

Lu Ming's face turned red with anger after hearing Roque's words, and he clenched his fists as if he wanted to punch Roque in the face.

But then he released his clenched fist and lay down on the bed with a sullen expression.

Roque shook his head when he saw this scene, he walked directly to the bed, without any politeness, and directly kicked Lu Ming to the floor, "I'm going to sleep in bed tonight, you better sleep on the floor." ”

Lu Ming looked deeply at the young man lying on the bed, then shrugged his head and whispered, "Okay." ”

"Alas... Sure enough, it's still impossible to take him out to sea. Roque sighed inwardly.

Some people hate that iron is not made of steel, but they are not angry at this point? It's worse than the slaves in the Holy Land of Mary Joy.

At least those slaves were just coerced by the Draconians and implanted servility in their bodies, but Lu Ming was extremely cowardly, and his cowardice was almost deep in his heart.

If he is taken out to sea, Roque can almost guarantee that it won't be long before the name of the road will be swallowed directly by those pirates, and there will be no scum left.

Of course, in fact, every ordinary and incomparably cowardly decrepit teenager actually hides a fierce beast in their hearts that can destroy the world, but this fierce beast is surrounded by a wall as hard as steel.

Only when faced with blood and fire, breaking through the hard wall in their hearts, will the fierce beast in their hearts be released.

In One Piece, the pink-haired, cowardly Kirby is one such example.
