"That's right, it's not easy to cultivate feelings too fast."

Whitebeard smiled and said to the fourth captain, "Then take your time." ”

Then, he looked at Spike and said, "I'm not deaf yet, Spike, I can hear what you're saying, I came to you this time to ask you to do something for me." ”

"Old man......"

The one-eyed elder sister screamed, and there was no more to follow.

And also glanced sideways at Nie Yuan, with an uncertain expression.

This made Nie Yuan a little speechless, you really didn't want to refuse?

Too fast, no.

Take your time and you're barely recognizable?

I don't know if you're vulgar or open.

But in this way, it seems that his face is still easy to use at sea.

"Do something for you?"

Spike was surprised, "What can you do that I need to help you do, you're the One Piece, I've just been a boy on your ship, and I've recently been reduced to a pony boy who works for the strips, what can I do to help you." ”

"It turns out that you remember doing chores on my boat."

Whitebeard stared at Spike and said, "Then you can carry it, what is the third priority of the Whitebeard Pirates?" ”

"Uh, that...... Can't take off your shoes on deck? ”

Spike apparently doesn't remember, or even never takes anything to heart, so he starts babbling again.

"It's a traitor, and the human skin must be left on our mast!" Hoover explained with a sly smile.

"Betrayer?"

Spike continued to pretend to be crazy and stupid, looked left and right, and said, "If any of you betray my old friend, I will be the first to refuse!" ”

Whew!

I don't know who took the lead, and the steel knives were revealed, and the pirates laughed and looked at Spike.

"Old friends to old friends."

Whitebeard spoke, "But rules are rules, Spike, and you remember that you worked on my ship, so I ask you, did you agree when you left?" ”

When Spike saw the steel knife aimed at him, he immediately raised his hands and said, "I'll just take a dozen gold coins and leave, old friend, don't worry about it, right?" Or do I give it back to you? ”

Whitebeard shook his head and said, "When you choose to betray, it's not a matter of gold Spike, see, everyone wants to kill you, and I can't help it." ”

At this time, Nie Yuan finally spoke, and said, "I think we should talk about the issue of making Spike guilty, he is still useful to me, but I can't kill him now." ”

As Whitebeard said earlier, he needs Spike to help him do something.

It was only after Spike refused that he changed his mind, so it can be seen that killing Spike is not an end, but a means.

Really.

After Nie Yuan spoke, Whitebeard also loosened his tone, looked at Spike, and said, "At first, I didn't mention your betrayal because I was afraid of my old friend's affection, but you don't seem to want to, and you have the opportunity to make meritorious contributions." ”

"Yes! Think about it day and night! ”

Spike laughed dryly, "Since I took a dozen of you gold coins away, I can't go to eat and sleep, and I think all day I have to do something for my old friend to be worthy of so many years of affection." ”

"Okay, put it away."

Whitebeard raised his hand and motioned for his horses to put away their weapons.

And said: "You also know, I've not been in good health recently, so you must be looking forward to it, my old friend, get better soon, right?" ”

"A must!"

Spike said rightly, "Every time I see an old friend who is sick, it's worse than my own health. ”

"Then go find something for me."

Whitebeard leaned forward and said, "As long as you bring that thing to me, not only will I not pursue your betrayal, but I can also reward you greatly." ”

"What is it?"

"Heart of the Ocean!"

“……”

Hearing the name of this thing, all the members of the Wind Child froze.

They all knew that Nie Yuan was also looking for the Heart of the Ocean, but the purpose was unknown.

And Whitebeard also needs this thing to heal himself, right?

Although there are many emotions, everyone tacitly does not show it, and they are all stuffy in their hearts.

"Do you need the Heart of the Ocean to heal you? Looks like it hurts a lot......" Spike muttered.

"It's not the Heart of the Ocean that heals me, it's the Heart of the Ocean that not only heals me, but also brings me one step closer."

Whitebeard made no secret of it and said, "Although there are other things that can be replaced, the Heart of the Ocean is already the easiest to obtain. ”

"Further? Isn't One Piece enough, do you still want to be the emperor of the sea? ”

"Don't you want to?"

Whitebeard stares at Spike.

"That's right."

Spike laughed, "If the Pirate Code had been written by me, I wouldn't have seen so many inexplicable laws added by you."

But......

Why do you think I can find the heart of the ocean......"

"I think you can do it, you have more ideas than every One Piece."

Speaking of this, Whitebeard paused, and said, "The most important thing is that you don't have a ship, you don't have followers, you ...... Alone. ”

"It sounds like you're praising me, but it's like you're scolding me." Spike pondered.

"Okay, now let's talk about the consequences if you can't."

Whitebeard said seriously, "I'll skin you, trust me Spike, as a pirate, I'll find you more easily than any of your enemies." ”

"Okay."

Spike was noncommittal, and said, "I'd love to do my old friend a favor, but don't you mind offending a little bit of an enemy?" I mean...... I may use your name in the process. ”

"It's natural, provided you have to find it, and send it to me, and ...... else"

As he spoke, Whitebeard looked at Nie Yuan again and said, "Since Spike is already your crew, you can supervise him." ”

Nie Yuan was surprised: "I also want to help you do things?" Then I, the lord, am I too faceless? ”

"It's a deal, not a thing for me."

Whitebeard said seriously: "Believe me, the port city of Havana in the future will definitely be more peaceful than ever, and your lordship may help Spike, and I ...... It will make Havana the most prosperous port city. ”

"Okay......"

Nie Yuan sighed, "But I don't guarantee that I can complete this transaction, after all, Spike is the only one who has an agreement with you, but I will help you supervise him." ”

"Good."

Whitebeard said, "Then my fourth and second captains will be responsible for helping you, Hoover and Samira will sail with you, I hope you ...... With this young lady, we don't have other thoughts just because we're pirates. ”

As he spoke, he looked at Miranda beside Nie Yuan again, and crushed a small insect that crawled onto his seat.

Miranda smiled brightly and said, "In that case, you don't have to be afraid of us, you have other thoughts, don't you?" ”

Whitebeard put the crushed insect in front of his eyes, observed, and said, "What is your name, I think you are more suitable to be a pirate than an official." ”

"Miranda, Nie Yuan's assistant."

"It's amazing, and when you come to me, I realize, Miss Miranda, that you can surprise me, and not ...... Scare. ”

"You're laughing."
