Klockdahl has a plan.

Join Nicole Robin for a casual stroll around the city.

While discussing future strategies, you may be able to take out a few pirates as a pastime.

In this way, the red-haired pirates will receive favors, and he will not have to entangle with the slave traders.

The plan was perfect.

But when it comes to implementation, there is a slight deviation.

I don't know who it is, it seems to be that Jorian?

In short, it was he who interjected one more sentence, which caused the grouping of the four people to be staggered, and everything was completely messed up!

……

"Hmph-hmph~ mm! Jumping just ...... cha cha"

Uta hummed an unnamed little tune and walked in front of Klockdahl.

The latter had an unlit cigar in his mouth, his brow furrowed.

"[Redhead]'s daughter?"

I have to admit that Uta's singing voice is indeed pleasant, and it will even give people a feeling of falling into the unreal.

Klockdahl doesn't hate it.

But at the same time, Uta's personality is also in the same vein as Shanks.

That kind of arrogant words and deeds made Klockdahl especially unable to deal with it!

"Tsk......"

Smacked his lips.

Suddenly another question occurred to Klockdahl.

The ultra-dark kind.

[Redhead] It's not that he doesn't know what he is, so how can he rest assured that his daughter is with him?

As he thought about it, a flintlock pistol was already pressed against the back of Klockdahl's head.

Klockdahl's pupils shrank suddenly, and he turned his head to see a sturdy man with long black hair.

Most of the long hair stood on end, leaving a strand hanging in front of the head.

He was holding a cigarette, wearing a black shirt and green cargo pants, and a faint smile on his face.

Klockdahl recognized the other party and said in astonishment:

"Ben Beckman ......"

That person is none other than the deputy captain of the red-haired pirates, and he is also an undisputed powerhouse!

"Yo!"

"Just kidding!"

Beckman turned his pistol to signal that he was not loaded, and then waved at Uta not far away, "Little Utta, are you having fun?" ”

"Uh-huh!"

Uta nodded repeatedly.

"Really? Looks like Eleguia has come to the right place! ”

Beckman responded with a smile, then put his arms around Klockdahl's shoulders and whispered:

"Crocodile, my captain has specially instructed us to do our best to 'cooperate' with you!"

“……”

Klockdahl understood.

He patronized and considered [Redhead] himself, and almost forgot about the shipwright that was a headache for the World Government.

The members of the Red-Haired Pirates are now scattered all over Elegia!

Ben Beckman's sudden appearance is undoubtedly a warning.

If Klockdahl had the slightest ill will towards Uta or even Eregia, he would not have left the country unharmed!

[Redhead] really knows me!

Klockdahl thought.

Thankfully, he's just "thinking" now......

"That's it, we'll see you back, little Uta!"

Beckman exchanged a few pleasantries, then waved goodbye to the two and turned to leave.

“……”

Klockdahl was speechless, and then looked down at the girl, only to feel extremely troublesome.

casually asked, "Where are we going to patrol?" ”

"Clothing Street!"

Uta raised her hand in response, also taking a look at Klockdahl's outfit.

Looking at the other party's resistant gaze, Uta stuck out his tongue and said with a grin:

"Don't worry, I have a good set of clothing aesthetics!"

“……”

Klockdahl turned to leave, only to find Ben Beckman standing on the corner, smiling and watching his every move.

“……”

"Hehehe, just boring ......"

The time has not yet come.

It's not time to clash with the red-haired pirates!

So, he went with Uta.

……

On the other side, on the east side of the city.

Jaya Jorian, walking with Nicole Robin.

Robin deliberately kept a certain distance from Jorian, walking behind the side, bowing his head and contemplating his own business.

Damn it!

I took the risk to come to Eleguia in search of ancient texts hidden in this country, but I didn't have time to go shopping!

Robin is really saddled with too much.

O'Hara's philosophy, the legacy of many archaeologists, the dream of knowing the true history, the hatred of the world government, the desire to survive......

All kinds of heavy things poured up at once, and the girl almost suffocated!

She doesn't have time to rest, and she doesn't have the qualifications to stop!

"No, no more time to waste!"

Robin lowered his head, his pupils trembling, and muttered in a low voice:

"Let's go find the ancient ruins first, yes, and then cooperate with the sand crocodile, there are still clues on the side of Alabastan, and the careerist can't get his hands on the ancient weapon......"

The more I think about it, the more I think about it, the more I think about it, the more I think about it, the more uncomfortable it becomes!

Suddenly—

Syllable!

In front of Robin, two hands slapped violently.

“？！”

Robin was startled, came back to his senses, and looked up.

Jaya Jorian was standing there, hands clasped together, looking at Robin with concern.

"Are you alright?"

“…… Well. ”

Robin nodded and said nothing more.

Jorian is indeed a "good man", but he is also the prince of a member of the World Government.

The status of this layer of nobility made it difficult for Robin to accept the other party's kindness for a while, at most, he just didn't reject it.

"Keep patrolling."

Robin walked ahead, but Jorian suddenly stopped her.

The hand covered with the pure white nail piece reached over and grabbed a marshmallow.

“……”

Robin was helpless about such a childish behavior, so he could only take it lightly.

Jorian also bought one for himself, and comforted while eating: "I found out as soon as we met, you seem to have a lot on your mind?" ”

"Yes."

didn't want the other party to entangle, so Robin gave a very direct answer.

Jorian smiled faintly and said gently: "Children don't need to carry so many things, there will always be adults who will come forward, you just need to grow up slowly." ”

Robin: "......"

Jorian tilted his head and asked, "Right?" ”

"Easy to say!"

This sentence completely ignited Robin's anger.

"You, a man who has never seen the sinister sea, has no idea what I've been through!"

"I also want to grow up slowly, and I also want my grandfather and mom and dad to accompany me, as well as everyone on the island!"

"But they're gone, who else can I rely on? It's just me! ”

Robin gritted his teeth and said in a deep voice:

"You say children don't need to carry too much? So when exactly will a child become an adult! Is it possible for a child to grow up suddenly? Answer me! Yes? ”

“……”

Jorian looked at Robin in a daze.

Robin just turned around and left.

Anyway, I've already torn my face with that idiot good guy, and the other party must be very hot, so let's just go our separate ways!

But Robin never expected that Jorian suddenly stopped her.

"Huh? Don't you want to hear my answer? ”

"What?"

Robin was stunned and turned his head.

Her question just now was pure venting, and she didn't expect Jorian to have an answer at all.

But Jorian was not only not angry, but wanted to answer seriously.

How "good" the world is in this person's eyes!

"I think so—"

Jorian opened his mouth and replied with a smile:

"When you stop suffering and see it as an integral part of you, you're no longer a child."

"At that time, you became an 'adult' who could help children take responsibility."

There was a bright light in the pupils.

Shine like gold.

Jorian looked at Robin and asked softly, "Now you're just a child who is afraid of pain, aren't you?" ”

"The sea is vast, there's always hope, you don't have to force yourself to be alone."

“……”

Robin looked at Jorian in a daze.

Anyone can say the beautiful words of the fake big air, but there are very few people who can equate "words" and "deeds" on this sea.

Jorian may be one of them.

Before O'Hara was destroyed, the "Giant Navy" Saulo had similar words in his farewell to Robin.

Robin remembered that time.

“……”

"Whatever you want."

She shook her head helplessly and continued to walk forward.

But she didn't forget the marshmallow in her hand, and occasionally licked a few bites.

Very sweet.

The vendors in O'Hara have a similar smell......

……

Eleguia.

In the suburbs, deep in the forest.

Lindsay, Vine Tiger, Shanks, and Gordon searched all the way, and finally successfully stepped into the encirclement of the slave traders!

"Aha!"

The slave trader played with the dagger and licked the blade with his tongue.

"Unexpectedly, we will ambush here, and you have no way to escape!"

“……”

Shanks applauded again and again, exclaiming, "Haha, that's so dangerous! ”

Seeing this, Gordon, who was at the end of the team, shook his head helplessly.

The strength of [Redhead], Gordon has already seen it.

No matter how many people there are in front of this rabble, they can't be Shanks' opponents!

What's more, Shanks is not alone, there are two other ones waiting for him.

Ai Wen Lindsay took a step forward and stepped forward.

Gordon: "! ”

He held his breath and intently took a closer look at the Shanks friend's strength.

So under Gordon's gaze, Lindsay raised his hands high and shouted, "Surrender!" ”

Gordon: "......"

Gordon: "? ”

Shanks's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood what Lindsay meant.

He glanced at Fuji Tiger on the side.

Well......

He coughed a few times at Fuji Tiger on the side.

Fuji Tiger is clear.

With the insight and intelligence of the slave traders around him, he was not enough to be behind all this.

So Evan Lindsay pretended to surrender to see if he could find more useful information.

If it doesn't work, it's not too late to torture to extract a confession!

After perceiving this, the two masters, Fuji Tiger and Shanks, immediately raised their hands and let the slave traders capture them.

Gordon: "......"

He hadn't reacted yet.

Gordon: "Huh? ”
