Chapter 81 Decision Adopted by All Members
Every awakening is a new beginning.
After a good night's sleep, the town wakes up again and starts a busy day.
The Night Cat Pirates also began to prepare for going to sea, using the money that the treasure secretly exchanged with the innkeeper was divided into four parts, the fat man took his pocket money to go around the street, looking for pots and pots by the way, and Sanji went to the market to prepare ingredients, Fei Te was the most leisurely, found a bookstore, got in, and probably didn't plan to come out in the morning.
And Cardo, too, wandered the streets, asking around, where there was a place that sold record pointers.
"Have you heard, last night the group of Celestial Dragons all went out to catch the witch in the forest."
"Is it the witch who has been a little girl for so many years, and can she turn winter into spring?"
"Yes, I think those Celestial Dragons are going to be unlucky, I heard that the witch is a relative of the god of death, and the god of death specially sent Cerberus to protect the witch."
"Hey, I really want to know where the witch is hiding, just one piece of news is worth 100 million Bailey, enough for me to eat and wear for the rest of my life......"
Walking on the street, all the residents around whispered about the witch, and their voices were very low, for fear that others would know.
The witch is a legend on their island, legend has it that she existed more than ten years ago, but she has always maintained the appearance of a little girl, guarded by a blood-red bird and a three-headed black-red burning Cerberus by her side, and whoever tries to inquire about the witch will always take his soul in the middle of the night.
There is also a rumor on the island that says that the reason why the Draconians have come to Slave Beast Island to inspect again and again is because they want to get the secret of why the witch has been young, and that group of Draconians want to live forever.
After several times of strengthening, Cardo's hearing has become many times sharper, and the whispered discussions of the residents on the street were clearly heard by him, and the residents' discussions were somewhat inconsistent with the news he got, the witch in their mouth was just a kind little girl, the Cerberus in their mouth was just a cat that ate the Cerberus fruit, the secret of immortality in their mouths was just the ability of the little girl's Devil Fruit, and the reason why the Celestial Dragon people were looking for the witch in their mouths was only because the little girl's Yanyan pecked blind one eye of the Celestial Dragons.
Cardo felt a little funny, these Tianlong people are obviously afraid of losing face, and deliberately do not tell the news of looking for the little girl to take revenge, and the little girl's kingdom, in order to please the Tianlong people, specially promotes the evil of witches, and what is even more ridiculous is that the residents of these slave beast islands, their compatriots have been persecuted, and it is only in the past ten years that they regard their compatriots as evil witches, and they want to betray their compatriots for the sake of the 100 million Bailey.
"Where do you sell record pointers?"
I casually found a pedestrian on the street to ask, Cardo didn't want to stay here any longer, and it was obvious from the residents' conversations that the Draco people had gone out to arrest the little girl yesterday, and he was a little worried and wanted to go to the valley to have a look.
"At the end of the street, in the most dilapidated little house, there is a stubborn old man who has been selling record pointers for decades."
Receiving an answer from passers-by, Cardo walked down the street, where the stubborn old man lived was easily recognizable, and at the end of this bustling street, a house unlike any other, dilapidated, probably no other house was more dilapidated.
Pushing open the door of the hut, it was obvious that it was not open for business, but there was not even a lock on the door, and it seemed that the shopkeeper was very relieved, and was not afraid of a thief coming to steal something, or that he did not know what a thief could steal.
The furnishings in the cottage were simple, a counter, a wooden shelf, a chair, and a few bottles that still smelled of alcohol.
In front of the counter is the chair where the guests can sit, on the counter are unmarked wine bottles, and behind it is a wooden shelf lined with rusty record hands.
As Cardo sat in his chair, the smell of liquor and vomit greeted him, and it seemed that the drunken shopkeeper should be nearby.
After a few taps on the tabletop, a dirty, wrinkled hand suddenly stretched out from behind the counter and placed it on the counter.
The old man got up from behind the counter, sleepy-eyed, and his nose was still red, and it seemed that this guy was not lightly drunk.
"Old Rolls, you haven't left yet, come and continue drinking, did you hear the movement just now, there was such a big noise at night, it must be that damn group of Tianlong people looking for Koharu again, there was a voice just now telling me that they couldn't catch Koharu"
As if in a dream, the old man grabbed the bottle and toasted to Cardo.
"Those damn Draconians are still looking for trouble with Koharu, why don't they let Koharu go?"
Cardo was also a little curious about whether what was recorded in the little girl's diary was the truth, and the old man in front of him obviously knew some truths, and Cardo didn't mind following his words.
"Bang!"
The old man behind the counter put the bottle on the table and scolded Cardo:
"Damn, you guy actually asked me, why did those group of Draconians catch Xiaochun, have you forgotten, why did her parents die, if they weren't willing to be slaves of the Draco, how could our group of old guys live for so long, the Celestial Dragons of the dog day, what kind of man-beast war do you want to watch, pick our group of old guys, and have a competition, to see who has been holding on to the mouth of the beast for a long time, if it weren't for the fact that they and his wife gave up their identity as the best beast trainers in the kingdom of all beasts and were willing to be slaves of the Draconians, how would we have survived until now...... ”
The old man wiped his snot, grabbed Cardo's collar and lifted him up, and scolded angrily: "You bastard, you actually forgot the reason why Koharu was arrested, you ungrateful guy, if it weren't for their couple, you would have survived until now, do you want to learn from those bastards of the royal family, and learn from them to grovel to please those Celestial Dragons!" ”。
The old man's intermittent words made Cardo roughly understand what was going on, and now he finally knew why the little girl and Mimi had Devil Fruits, except for the group of Celestial Dragons who didn't take Devil Fruits seriously, and liked to let slaves eat them for their enjoyment, it seemed impossible for two Devil Fruits to appear on a small island, this is a very precious thing, and it is quite rare, and there are not a few in the entire East China Sea.
Knocking the old man unconscious, Cardo walked to the wooden frame behind him, retrieved the record pointer of the Water City, turned away, and left the old man with a treasure from the big ship.
Now, Cardo wanted to go to the valley to see if the little girl was safe and sound, and he had now made up his mind to take the little girl away, even if she didn't want to be his companion, and to take her out of the cage-like island.
It took a lot of effort to follow the original road, and Cardo came to this valley, but unfortunately the mouth of the valley was blocked from getting there.
Mimi was lying at the mouth of the valley, her body was already snow-white, and she was waiting for the little girl's return, which she had not returned all night.
Cardo took two steps forward, and Mimi suddenly stood up, shook off the snowflakes on her body, and grinned at him.
"Didn't she come back, I want to help her"
Not caring about Mimi's threat, Cardo squatted in front of Mimi with a smile and touched its somewhat cold and damp fur.
"Captain, you're here too."
The fat man's excited voice remembered behind Cardo that he and Fet and Sanchi had also arrived.
"I've thought of a piece."
"Hmph, of course, who cares about those bullshit Draconians"
"You can't say that, if you don't want to be hunted down by the general, you still need to dress up"
"However, it is easy to see whether the black bear pretends to be useful."
"Stupid, we don't care if they can see it or not, we just make an excuse for the navy, an excuse not to fire directly at us, otherwise if we attack the Tianlong people openly, the navy will also be forced to hunt us down, and after using the black bear suit, the navy can use the reason of not investigating who is the murderer, do you think the navy is also very satisfied with that group of Tianlong people."
Just as Sanchi explained to the fat man why he used the black bear costume, Fet and Cardo looked up at the sky at the same time, a little scarlet, and flew towards them.
Yanyan, who has always been very hygienic and image-oriented, had messy feathers at the moment, and flew to Cardo and the others with a paper roll in her mouth, and after dropping it, she turned around and flew back.
"I'm a coward, I don't want to die, I want revenge......"
The same handwriting, the same teardrops, the same cowards.
Cardo crumbled the note into a ball, he didn't like the speckled tear stains on it.
PS: A very attentive chapter, really attentive......
I feel like it takes several times to see the effect, I really don't mind if you watch it a few more times, watch it well......
