Chapter 40: Two Childish Ghosts
"It's still three knives that are the most comfortable." Zoro patted the hilt of the knife of the three generations of onitoru and wandered aimlessly through the crowded streets, ready to find a place to eat when he was tired of shopping.
Originally, according to his original plan, he didn't stop after getting back the three generations of ghosts, and went directly to the Great Passage to find Chopper, but after coming to Rogue Town, he didn't really want to leave so quickly.
He had a strange premonition in his heart, as if he could meet acquaintances here, but he really didn't have many acquaintances in Rogue Town.
"The white-haired smoker and the boss of a pine have already met, and they are close to pirating Guina." Pulling his fingers at the math, Zoro always felt as if he had missed something.
"Could it be that Bucky is coming here too?"
This may not be impossible, but it is very small, after all, Bucky knows that he is going to come to Rogue Town next, and should choose to avoid it.
"The most dangerous place is the safest place, that big red nose swept away your money, thinking that you would go after him, maybe you just borrowed the town of Dorog to enter that great passage." Blade of the Wind did a wave of analysis, and it sounded reasonable.
Zoro was looking forward to meeting Bucky again, and he smiled dangerously and said, "That way, he'll be able to get a taste of prison food in advance." ”
But then again, he didn't seem to be looking for the curly-eyed kappa yet.
Zoro remembered that he had kept in his luggage at the hotel, and there was a sparse work of carving, of course, it was not a problem with his woodcarving skills, but his reference was too stumbling.
At that time, the wanted notice of the color kappa can also be said to be popular all over the sea, making him the most sympathetic pirate at that time, the spiritual painting and the expression of the soul, the angry Sanji almost ran to the Navy headquarters on the spot to lift the table.
"Wait here for two days to see if you can get to Bucky, and if Bucky doesn't come, then go find the color cook." Sauron made up his mind, and he relaxed completely, wandering the streets of Rogue Town.
Since going to sea, it has not been able to stop, either in the fight and kill, or on the way to fight and kill, and now there is finally not so much to do, and Zoro is also happy to relax.
Near noon, he found a small restaurant for lunch, and sat down on his seat and drank wine in small sips of peanuts.
Before the meal came up, someone suddenly sat down on the other side.
"Yo, what a coincidence."
When someone opened his mouth, a smell of smoke hit him, staining the smell of wine that Sauron liked.
Looking up at the uninvited Smoker, Zoro drank all the wine in the cup, wiped the wine from the corner of his mouth and said, "It's quite a coincidence, after following me for so long, I finally gave up." ”
Smoker wasn't ready to hide his intentions, picked up the menu, and explained to Zoro as he browsed, "No way, it's the duty." You're more or less a 'big guy', and I have to get people to follow you, otherwise you'll do something terrible if you're not careful, and I won't be able to deal with it." ”
Smoker had obtained a copy of Sauron's information before, and there wasn't much information on it, but it was just enough for Smoker to have a certain understanding of Sauron.
As soon as he went to sea, he was able to wipe out the tens of millions of pirates in the East China Sea, which is not only a manifestation of strength, but also means that this person is very good at getting things done.
It is the work of the navy to capture pirates, and bounty hunters also catch pirates, but what they do is only for profit and not for justice, because the navy has always looked down on bounty hunters and is faintly hostile.
Because sometimes the pirates that the navy failed to solve were killed by bounty hunters, which was a disguised loss of face for the navy. And sometimes the navy deliberately didn't catch the target pirates in order to put a long line to catch big fish, but suddenly a bounty hunter popped up and caught the small fish they left, and some of the more bloodthirsty guys didn't hesitate to go straight down, and any fishing plans were gone, and the clues were directly interrupted.
However, for Roronoa Zoro, to be honest, the evaluation of him within the Navy is a bit polarized, one side believes that he eliminated pirates to save others, and the Toronto, West Robb Village, and Cocoa West Village are the best proof, and you can consider taking him under the command of the Navy.
But there is also a belief that they were only indirectly rescued by Sauron, whose ultimate goal was the high bounty of the pirates, and that he claimed to be a bounty hunter in the village of Cocoa, so he was not a good one.
After all, according to the information, except for the ghost sword Yasuo, the other pirates who were defeated by Zoro without exception had no conflict with him, but Zoro came to the door one by one, beat them up and arrested them for bounties.
Smoker also participated in that discussion, but to be honest, he was not interested in listening to the group of people discussing whether Zoro should belong to the camp of neutral chaos or neutral order, after all, it seemed that Sauron gave all the bounty of the Wind Pirates to the captain of the Toronto, and it could be seen that this person did not care so much about money, and his nature was definitely not evil.
But there is no way, the navy is not united, twisted into a rope, there are too many people to agree on the opinions are always difficult to unify, so in the end, the discussion and discussion only gave a conclusion of re-observation and observation.
At that time, Smoker was still thinking about when he would be able to meet Sauron, but he didn't expect Sauron to appear in front of him in a blink of an eye, of course he would not let go of such a good opportunity, after the daily patrol was completed, he took advantage of the lunch to communicate with Sauron.
It's just that Sauron wasn't in the mood to talk to Smoker, and drank a little absent-mindedly.
He didn't actually hate Smoker, after all, he was a nice guy with a disgusting face, he just didn't like the smell of smoke on him, which made him sound like a certain kappa.
Moreover, he felt that Smoker was approaching him as if he had some kind of idea, which made him more vigilant.
When he finished ordering, Smoker leaned back in his chair, his piercing eyes fixed on Sauron, as if trying to see a flower in his young, handsome face.
And Zoro also politely replied to him with a roll of the eyes after feeling his hot eyes: "So now it's your shift?" ”
"No, it's just a coincidence." Smoker was right, he happened to see Zoro enter the store when he passed by, and it happened that there was nothing to do in the base, so he simply followed.
"Oh."
……
……
There was a long silence, and neither of them was a person who could speak well, so they just stared at each other, and the atmosphere between the two became extremely awkward in an instant.
In addition, Smoker has a 10,000-year-old villain face, and Zoro looks very serious when he is not smiling, so it seems to outsiders that the two of them may fight at any time.
And when the waiter finally brought the meal to the two, the tables around them were already empty, as if they couldn't bear the aura of Zoro and Smoker.
But even when the meal was served, no one in these two guys moved their chopsticks first, as if whoever looked away first would lose.
And just when the waiter was about to step forward under pressure to remind the two that the food was cold and unpalatable, the door of the hotel was pushed open, and a slender figure walked in.
"Ah, Colonel Smoker, you're eating here too?"
