Bright was woken up hungry.

Stomach growling.

He sat up yawning, and found that the room was already dimly lit.

"Let's go eat first—"

Bright paused.

Let's go to Brother Jinping to borrow money first.

Standing up, he walked out of the door slowly, and when he wanted to close the door, he remembered that the door was placed in the hallway against the wall.

"Let's change the door tomorrow."

Bright gave up the idea of putting the door back in and turned and went downstairs.

As soon as I stepped out of the apartment and stepped onto the ruined street, a shout came from behind.

"Bright!!"

Bright's familiar voice moved him suddenly.

He looked back.

A blue shadow had already swooped down.

Bright was directly embraced in his arms by the visitor.

"Great, Bright, it's great that you're safe!!"

The whale shark man, who was a little shorter than Bright but much fatter, was excited.

Bright also felt very excited, he raised his hands and gave the man a warm hug, "Long time no see, Brother Jinping!" ”

The person who came was none other than the current captain of the Sun Pirates, the new king of the Seven Martial Seas, and the sea hero.

Jinping let go of Bright and looked at him carefully, "You've grown taller and stronger, it looks like you've not had a hard year as I imagined." ”

"A lot of things have happened by accident."

Bright smiled and said, "Anyway, it's a blessing in disguise." I still have to thank you, Brother Jinping, otherwise, it won't be easy for me to regain my freedom. ”

"Hahaha, it's okay."

Jinping raised his hand and patted Bright's shoulder.

From a very young age, Bright has been behind them, and for Jinping, Bright is like a younger brother.

"By the way, Brother Jinping,"

Bright said seriously, "Can I trouble you with one thing?" ”

"Oh? Let's just say something. ”

Jinping said boldly, "Your trouble is my trouble." ”

Bright rubbed his stomach, "Can you treat me to a meal?" I'm hungry. ”

Jinping was stunned for a moment, then laughed, "Then what are you waiting for?" Let's go, it's just for you. ”

So, Bright followed Jinping to the best restaurant in Fishman Street.

Although it is said to be the best restaurant, if you add a limit to Fish-Man Street, you should know its strength.

Like most of the buildings in Fish-Man Street, the restaurant is pretty old and dilapidated, but business is doing so well that it's almost full at this time.

"Oh! Boss Jinping! ”

"Brother Jinping is here?"

Jinping has a lot of prestige in Fishman Street, and as soon as he enters the restaurant, many fishpeople greet him.

There were also acquaintances of Bright who greeted him.

While responding to the acquaintances, Brett and Jinping found a corner table and sat down.

"Oh! Bad boy Bright is back! ”

The restaurant owner walked over with a grin, "Is it still the same?" ”

"Of course! I've missed your craft for a long time, boss. Bright said with a smile.

The boss pouted, "Who are you fooling, didn't you kid always say that the things I make are delicious?" ”

"That's why I'm just saying nostalgic." Bright blinked.

"Bastard imp! It's still as annoying as it was when I was a kid! ”

The boss turned away in a huff.

"Boss, I want two."

Bright said as he looked at his back.

The portion of food from my childhood is no longer enough.

"Really, Bright, you kid,"

Jinping's words were full of smiles, "Do you think the things here are unpalatable and you always eat here?" ”

"When I was very young, I always came here to ask the boss for leftovers."

Bright said with some nostalgia, "Although the taste is not good, it is hard not to like this taste." ”

Jinping agreed, "In this case, there is indeed no more delicious food than that." ”

Soon, food came up.

Merfolk and most fish-people do not eat fish, and the source of meat on Fish-Man Island is a variety of shellfish.

In the deep sea, which is beyond the reach of humans, there are many giant shellfish that can provide enough food for the fish and mermaids.

Of course, there are also many mermaids who can't even accept the meat of shellfish, and their staple food is a variety of edible seaweeds.

Bright, of course, loves meat.

I can't wait to start feasting.

It's still a familiar taste.

It's so nostalgic.

Bright gobbled it up.

Jinping looked at Brett with a smile and said, "The navy said that you were sent to a secret base?" ”

"Hmm."

Blett nodded, and said vaguely, "It's a secret research base, and I met Vegapunk there. ”

"Vegapunk?"

Jinping exclaimed, "The world's number one scientist? ”

Blett nodded, "I got a Devil Fruit there, and I also got some weird abilities with the help of Vegapunk. ”

Jinping was shocked, "You say, you ate the Devil Fruit?" So how did you get back? ”

"So I've got some weird abilities."

Bright's mouth was stuffed full, and he said casually.

“……”

Jinping was shocked, and he was able to overcome the seawater, which is not a strange ability.

Vegapunk, what an amazing man!

"No wonder you say a blessing in disguise." Jinping sighed.

"By the way, Brother Jinping,"

Bright wiped his mouth and lowered his voice, "On the way back, I killed the Navy escorting me. ”

"Huh?"

Jinping's eyes widened, and he directly crushed the corner of the table, and even snot flew out of his nostrils.

But immediately, he forcibly lowered his voice, "What's going on?" ”

Bright gave him a rough idea of what was going on with Haag.

Jinping frowned the whole time.

"There are always such people among human beings." He said in disgust, "You're right, Bright, we don't need to hate innocent humans, but we shouldn't show mercy when we encounter such a guy!" ”

"What I'm worried about now is that if this matter is exposed, it will bring you and cause trouble to Fish-Man Island." Bright Road.

If he's alone, that's nothing.

But he still has friends, a homeland, and a hometown.

Damn Haag.

Disrupted his life plans.

"Since there are no survivors, it will not be easy for the Navy to learn the truth."

Jinping thought for a moment and said, "In this case, I will contact the navy tomorrow and ask them why you haven't come back yet." ”

Bright's eyes lit up, "Brother Jinping, you're saying that as long as I disappear together, it's not my problem, right?" ”

Brother Jinping, who looks very honest, is actually very smart.

"But Bright, in that case you may have to settle down a little bit in a short time." Jinping said worriedly, "Stay quietly on Fish-Man Island, don't attract attention." ”

"That's exactly what I wanted."

Bright smiled and said, "I just want to stay in Fish-Man Island quietly right now. ”

"Really? It's hard to imagine that such words are coming out of your mouth. Jinping was very surprised, "At that time, he was crying and wanting to go to sea with us." ”

"Because of the grind, it will naturally grow." Bright said as he ate.

"That's fine."

Jinping nodded, "At least be quiet for a while to avoid the limelight." Don't worry, Bright, I'm sure you're not going to have anything to do. ”

"Just right, take advantage of this time, Bright, how about learning domineering?"

Bright looked up in surprise.

He was about to make that request.

"Kill a rear admiral with ease, you kid really got an amazing ability."

Jinping smiled and said, "If it were you, it would be a simple matter to surpass me." ”

"Okay."

Bright nodded happily.

He has long been aware that only by being strong can he survive safely in this world.

"Good!"

Jinping nodded with satisfaction.

If it was the current Bright, maybe he could really have the same power as the One Piece Emperor.

In that case-

"Boss, two more!"

Bright shouted.

"Huh? Have you already eaten it? ”

Jinping was shocked, "Can you kid eat so much now?" ”

Bright smiled and said, "Because I'm growing my body." ”

Many abilities form a lot of organs are growing, and Bright does need a lot of nutrients and energy.

Moreover, the Didom Giant Lantern Fish gives Bright the ability to increase his strength and stamina.

However, this enhancement is not a direct improvement, and even in the long history, there should be no creature with a stronger strength talent than Bright, who has both Megalodon and Kaido bloodlines at this time.

This ancient lanternfish has the ability to store energy, just like a camel.

However, unlike camels, the Didom Lantern Fish has the ability to burst out of stored energy, turning it into strength or physical strength.

Bright eats more, and in a way, he is also recharging himself.

Although it is better than nothing now, the ability is strengthened through exercise.

"By the way, Bright, there's something I want you to help with."

Jinping remembered something, and his expression became a little serious.

"Oh?"

……

After having dinner with Jinping and borrowing 100,000 Bailey from Jinping as temporary expenses, Bright said goodbye to Jinping.

But he did not return to his home.

He went to another part of Fishman Street, a small three-story building, and the light was shining through the windows, and he could clearly hear the noise coming from inside.

Brett sighed.

Brother Jinping really gave himself a troublesome errand.

But I had to come again.

Let's just think it is, in order to avoid a tragedy.

Bright reached out to push the door open.

But the door was pulled open first.

A man walked out.

Dressed in the uniform of a guard of the Dragon Palace Kingdom, he has a big belly, sharp teeth, a sharp nose, and curly black hair.

Bright called out the man's name in disgust, "Hoddy." ”

The fish-man named Hody also saw Bright, he was stunned for a moment, and then spoke in the same disgust, "Aren't you actually dead?" Half-blooded! ”
