Sail to Sea Chapter 3 The road is narrow
"It's early, Xiao Lu Gui, running again, have you eaten?"
"You're also Aunt Frey, I'll go back to eat after I finish running, and I'm leaving." Lu Gui smiled and waved his hand.
……
"Brother Lu Gui, the story of the little monkey haunting the Dragon Palace has not been finished yet, I must tell Amy today whether the Dragon King has been defeated or not, and Amy will go to the tavern to find you later."
"Okay, brother is waiting for you in the tavern, don't come at night, make a fuss, your mother will turn around and scold you! At noon, I'll invite you to dinner. ”
……
"Lu Gui, are you still coming to the gym to practice today? There are some techniques for using knives, and I would like to ask you about them. ”
"Senior brother is too polite, let's just learn from each other before, I'll go over in the afternoon, and we must have a good fight then."
……
This is the scene that Lu Gui encounters every day soon after coming to the village.
The work in the tavern is very simple for Lu Gui, after all, he is really experienced, and the first two lives were not done for nothing.
Whether it's hospitality or hygiene, Hans is really reassured. In terms of treating people and picking up customers, Lu Gui showed politeness and enthusiasm, and his words and deeds could be very close to what others thought every time, which also made him recognized by the villagers in the small village.
Three months had made him a very popular person here, which he would never have been able to do on Earth, and he was passive at that time.
In the past three months, after finishing his work, he will also race against time to exercise himself and improve his strength.
There is no danger during this time on the island, but when you go out to sea, any accident can happen.
He used his ability to copy the swordsmanship of the Pavilion Master in the Tiger Dojo, and with the foundation of the previous life, and the more systematic training methods when he was in the navy, he quickly made his strength catch up with everyone here.
And the main reason why it can go so smoothly is because the people here are not very good. Lu Gui, who couldn't learn more about martial arts, knew that it was time for him to leave.
Although the outside world is full of unknowns and dangers, it is also more magnificent, he does not have the same feelings as the protagonist Luffy, and goes to sea for his dreams and to become One Piece. His purpose is more pure, that is, to become stronger, not to be dictated by others about his life and death.
The death of the first two lives made him grow up quickly, and he was pregnant with a tiger in his heart, and he was no longer willing to be ordinary. He can't forget the helplessness and despair when he was killed, and he also hates those wicked people who have the strength to do evil.
This kind of jealousy and hatred, although it was caused by his own killing, was also more real and could stimulate him to work hard to cultivate.
He told Hans, the tavernkeeper, about his decision to go to sea, and he thought that the other party would dissuade him, but he did not expect that the other party agreed very calmly.
"Unexpectedly I'm not going to keep you any longer?" Hans said with a smile as he shook the wine that was about to be made.
"A little bit, after all, I'm gone, and my uncle is going to be busy again." Lu Gui was wearing the clothes of a waiter at this time, a white shirt, a black vest, and a pair of glasses on the bridge of his nose, which looked very gentle.
"Don't be too presumptuous, little ghost, before you came, I ran this place by myself, and there was never a mess.
Just go if you want, from the first time I saw you train like crazy and make you tired, I knew I couldn't stop you in the future, and there was no reason to do it.
When you get outside, remember to be safe, and run if you encounter an enemy you can't beat. Live, no shame. ”
Uncle Hans stopped shaking his hand and poured the mixed wine into the prepared glass, in which the blue liquid swirled, and the sun shone on it, shining with a crystal light, and it looked really good.
"I won't be so embarrassed, uncle, thank you for taking care of me during this time. By the way, where is your son, do you need me to find him and bring you a letter? ”
"Haha, children want to stay away from their parents when they grow up, why are you looking for him, just take care of yourself.
When will it depart, with tomorrow's merchant ships? ”
Hans opened his mouth and smiled when he heard Lu Gui mention his child, pushed the blue wine in front of him, and motioned for Lu Gui to taste it.
Seeing this, Lu Gui pretended not to see it, pushed his glasses and said:
"Uncle is in business in the end, he is well-informed, and he even knows exactly when the caravan will leave, which is amazing!"
"Change the subject less, give me this glass of wine.
The caravan had just bought ten barrels of beer peculiar to the island from the tavern in the morning, saying that they would drink it on the ship when they left tomorrow, and we were both present at the time, what are you pretending to be amnesiac now! ”
Hans angrily slapped the bar counter and pushed the mixed wine down, dissatisfied with Lu Gui's uninteresting performance.
"Uncle, this glass of wine won't have diarrhea like before."
Lu Gui had drunk this good-looking drink twice in the spirit of trying more new things, but with his current strong physique, he still stayed in the toilet for a long time, so now he was a little stunned when he saw this glass of blue liquid.
"Absolutely not! This is specially concocted by me to see you off, how can I let you go to sea with illness? Hans swore his promises.
It's even more scary for you to say that, more affirmative than the previous two times.
"Last time that glass of wine was called Amber Yellow, last time it was called Rose Red, this cup also has a name, right?" Lu Gui still couldn't bear to refuse Boss Hans on the last day, thinking that it would be a big deal to stay in the toilet in the afternoon, anyway, he would only leave tomorrow, and he was confident that his body would recover.
"Haha, it naturally has its own name, listen to it, it's called Big ~~ Sea Blue, how about it, it's imposing!"
"If you like it." Lu Gui didn't bother to complain about the name, so he picked up the cup and drank it all.
Sour, sweet, how to describe it? It feels like a fragrance along the way......
Jokes aside, the drinks in this world taste very light, and when Hans adds something else, it tastes not much different from juice.
"How's it going, do you feel any discomfort?" Hans asked cautiously at this time.
Lu Gui squinted at the other party, the firm attitude you just made sure that the drink was okay!
Hans was embarrassed to look at him and laughed awkwardly.
"The taste is not bad, and it is more appropriate to sell it as a drink." Lu Gui's body didn't feel any uncomfortable, and nodded back.
"I'll just say, it's going to be fine..."Hans began to plan to make more drinks in the future, and he would definitely make the tavern bigger and stronger.
Lu Gui looked at Hans's happy appearance, looked at the tavern that had lived here for a long time, and laughed.
I hope there is still a chance to return here, this time he goes to sea, and it is impossible for him to turn back if he does not achieve his goal.
……
The time quickly came to the next morning, Lu Gui was packed, dressed in blue shorts, white shirt, carrying a half-human-height package, and holding a long sword used in the hall, appeared at the dock outside the village, he took one last look at the crowd to see him off, waved his hand and walked into the caravan's big ship.
There were a lot of people on the shore to see them off, the owner of the tavern, the owner and disciples of the dojo, and the neighbors from the left and right neighbors.
"Be sure to stay safe!"
"Come back when you're tired, don't be reckless!"
"Come on, you're the best!"
……
The merchant ship started, and after traveling some distance, Lu Gui on the bow of the ship could still vaguely hear the blessings of the villagers to him.
In addition to being moved in my heart, I also felt a little guilty. He has always been utilitarian in his dealings with the villagers, because he knows that the chance of meeting in the future is very small, so he has not invested much emotion.
He felt that there was nothing wrong with him doing this, after all, worrying too much was not conducive to his progress, but knowing that it was one thing, he was still not very comfortable in his heart.
Lu Gui was alone on the deck looking at the sea water in a daze, and no one on the merchant ship came to disturb him for the time being, after all, they had all experienced similar partings, and they knew that it was good to let each other be quiet at this moment.
However, within a few hours, the steward of the caravan came to Lu Gui's side and told him bad news.
"You said the Sentinels found a pirate ship, and it's not too far away from us?"
"Yes, Brother Lu, based on experience, the sentry judged that the scale of this ship is much larger than the merchant ships under our feet, and the number of pirates will not be less! And they're coming after us, faster than we do. The steward's face was a little solemn.
The reason why he came to find Lu Gui was because he heard that the other party's strength was good on the island just now, and the owner of the Tiger Dojo also recognized this, so he came over and hoped that Lu Gui would be able to contribute more if he had the opportunity.
"Has there ever been a situation like this today? How did you all solve it. Lu Gui was not too afraid of being nervous, and he was cautious and calm in the face of things, which was the ability he learned after his death.
He knew that it was inevitable to encounter pirates at sea, but he didn't expect this life to be so soon.
"This depends on the situation, and we naturally don't want to go to war if we can run away, after all, we are just merchant ships, and we will lose if we win or lose.
But if you can't run away, it's just two cases.
Fight to the death or surrender! ”
Doesn't what you said mean you didn't say it, I don't know this?
"How do you judge whether you have fought or not, and how do you decide whether to fight or surrender?" Lu Gui asked directly.
"Look at whether there is a bounty in the other party's pirate ship, the amount of the bounty is the best criterion for judging the strength of a pirate, and each caravan has collected a list of bounties issued by the navy.
If there are no bounty pirates on the pirate ship coming from the other side, then we can still fight.
Otherwise, surrender is the best option. ”
"Now you're sure you can't run away, right?" Lu Gui listened to the other party's answer and nodded.
There is a certain amount of truth, but he didn't entrust his life to the pirates' mercy, besides, he also felt that he could meet a master he couldn't beat as soon as he went out, so let's see the situation first.
"Yes, Brother Lu should be in good strength, and if there is a fight later, please ask Brother Lu to take care of the ordinary people who get off the boat."
The steward said his purpose, and when he saw Lu Gui nodding, he left here and organized people to prepare.
Lu Gui looked ahead, and the ships of the pirate group had already shown a vague shadow. He activated his ability, and in the pupils under his sunglasses, a green clover appeared, slowly spinning.
His vision began to clear little by little, and the flag of the pirate ship was waving in the wind. After Lu Gui saw it clearly, the corners of his mouth turned up.
"It's really a special fate, isn't this a group of people who killed themselves in the first life?
I remember that in addition to the captain Silu, who has some strength and offers a reward of 19 million Bailey, the other pirates are also a little stronger than ordinary people.
This is a good thing sent to the door for me to take revenge, and there will be retribution if I miss it! ”
