The night after four days at sea.

Alsace, who had finished his food, had been hungry for a long time, and was sitting on the wooden bed in the cabin staring out the window at the strong storm.

The mast on the deck snapped suddenly, and the sails flew into the dark sky.

The broken mast smashed into the cabin where Arthas was, opening a large hole.

Reacting, he picked up his chest bag containing 7,000 Bailey from the bed.

Tuck it into your pants to prevent it from getting lost.

Running out of the cabin, I found the ship swaying violently in the fury of the waves, as if it could be swallowed at any moment.

"I really obeyed you, Xiao Ai, and you didn't tell me that the mast would be blown off and the ship would be damaged!"

[Please pay attention to the quality of the ship, Xiao Ai cannot strengthen the ship for the host]

There was still about half an hour to reach the island, but at this time something went wrong.

It was all due to the fact that Alsace completely trusted Xiao Ai and did not pay attention to the quality of the ship.

In the midst of a violent storm, the boat was swept over by the raging waves.

The waves swallowed Alsace and plunged them into the sea.

"I'm hanging a mud horse——! Xiao Ai... Gollum..."

In the sea, Arthas clenched his knife and the bag of his pants, fearing that the contents would be washed away by the water.

Don't go ashore and be downcast.

Damn, the ship is sinking into the deep sea.

In the darkness of the sea, Arthas watched his boat disappear into the dark sea, only to float to the surface.

It didn't take long for -

Surfacing out of the sea, he quickly took a deep breath to breathe, and then dived into the seawater, summoned his mobile phone and swam forward following the navigation icon.

The waves up there were too big for him to move forward.

Swim, swim –

Until Arthas lost consciousness and fainted.

Two hours later.

3 a.m.

The southern town of the Kingdom of Yobru.

The salty water lapped Alsace's cheek, and a large foraging crab crawled down his shorts into his thigh.

Clamp hard.

Click.

Arthas woke up from a coma in an instant, pulled open his pants and grabbed the crab out and pinched it in his hand.

"Ahem," Arthas taunted as he grabbed the crab on his large breast, which had been so small, as he taunted it:

"Get out!"

Grab it and throw it into the sea.

He staggered to his feet and looked at the town in front of him, glad that he had not been taken away by the sea.

He experienced first-hand how important swimming is in this world.

He made up his mind that he would not eat any Devil Fruit in the future.

Check what you have on your body, the phone bugs looted on the navy, the guns are all thrown in the sea.

There was only a knife, and he had a money bag containing 7 thousand Baileys, and some tools.

Walking into the dark-lit streets of the seaside town in the torrential rain, only one tavern shop was still lit.

Arthas walked inside, carrying his chest bag and weapon.

As soon as he entered the tavern, Alsace was keenly aware of bullet holes in the walls, tables and chairs.

Someone must have made trouble before.

The tavern waiter and the owner were cleaning, and when they saw Alsace suddenly coming in, they immediately greeted:

"I'm sorry for this guest, our tavern is closed."

"Do you have a place to stay?" Arthas asked: "There is nowhere to go tonight, I have money." ”

Is it a teenager? Looks like you're in trouble? The tavernkeeper took a closer look.

Since you have money, you will naturally want business.

"1,000 Belli, for a day's stay." The owner offered the price.

"It's so expensive, how about it's cheaper?" Alsace wanted to bargain.

A thousand Baileys? This is the year 1503 of the Lunar New Year, and monetary inflation is not as severe as it was seventeen years later.

"That's what you're asking me for, boy, we're supposed to be closed." The boss is determined to slaughter Alsace.

Arthas immediately explained: "A typical tavern room only costs 300 to 500 Baileys, and you really know how to do business, boss." ”

"If you don't live, you can go out and find another place."

The owner of the tavern is a petty leader of the mixed society, and he has no compensation for his losses because he was disturbed by a short boy during the day.

In order to seek refuge, Alsace had to open his chest and show off his economic strength.

He put a few Bailey coins on the table and said, "Okay, what is the room number, is it a meal?" ”

"Room 1 on the 2nd floor, you can live in by yourself if the door is not closed, and you can pack a breakfast tomorrow morning."

Arthas, who had not spoken again, was exhausted and went upstairs with his knife.

He was hungry and tired, and he didn't want to make trouble in this state.

Seeing Alsace leave honestly, the bartender came to the boss:

"Boss, this kid has a knife with him."

"Knives? In the four towns of the Yobru Kingdom, only the barrel of the gun is king, and the sword and fart are not counted. ”

"Okay, I'll go close the door."

"Look at his soaking wet appearance, will he still make the knife fail?"

The Kingdom of Yobru has 4 towns ruled by gangsters, which are southeast, northwest, and northwest.

There are wars between gangs every day, and the town where Alsace is located is a southern town.

Early the next morning.

The sun rises slowly over the horizon and shines on the entire island.

A rooster crow, awakening Arthas from sleep, he subconsciously pinched the crumpled futon: "I don't want to wake up..."

He reacted, only to realize that it was the quilt he was pinching.

Otherwise, it hurts to pinch others.

In room 2-1 of the tavern, Arthas, who had a broken dream, hugged his pillow and didn't even think about it.

His stomach, which had been empty for two days, had to make him give up lying in bed.

His eyes narrowed, staring at the ceiling of the room: "Xiao Ai, what time is it?" ”

[10:38 a.m.] The electronic voice in his head replied to him, and the voice of Goldfinger would appear directly in his head, and it would not be heard by anyone.

It's already so early...

After a brief wash, Arthas was drawn to the bustle downstairs, which he hadn't heard for a week.

I can't wait to eat and watch the excitement in the tavern, but I am very weak without eating.

He inserted the knife into his left waist, squinted at his chest bag and sat down at the bar with his chest bag on his shoulder.

"Breakfast... Old..."

Bang –

Suddenly, a gunshot broke the lively atmosphere of the tavern.

A short man in a red suit vest, a bearded face, and an octagonal hat walked in with a gun in both hands.

"Damn, it's Capone Becky who's making a fuss here again."

The rest of the tavern took refuge, some of the gang members

Capone Becky?

One of the supernovas of the future?

The moment Arthas heard the gunshots, he had already flipped over to the bar and hid.

Good guys, there's ready-made food in the cabinet behind the bar.

"Let me rule your underground party from here."

"It's crazy, Becky, you're going to die here today."

The gang members in the tavern drew their guns and resisted Capone Becky's lone attack.

Conflict is on the verge of breaking out.

"Hey, stinky boy, don't steal it." The boss also crouched down to dodge the bullets, and was still looking for something on the cabinet, but couldn't find it.

Ignoring the boss's warning, Arthas directly picked up the food and ate it: "You promised me in the early morning, a thousand Baileys for breakfast." ”

Sure enough, it was a town where gangs were rampant, and it really surprised him that someone was fighting so early in the morning.

Seeing Arthas eating his food so calmly in the midst of a hail of bullets, the tavernkeeper was a little suspicious of Arthas's ability.

Outside the tavern, the young Becky shouted, "Instead of following this little boss hiding behind the bar, it is better to take the oath to me immediately, and maybe you will be spared." ”

Relying on her superb marksmanship, Becky, who shot and killed the other people in the tavern, began to win hearts and minds.

The gunfire stopped abruptly, and the gang members, who feared being killed by Becky's madman, began to turn their heads.

"Bey... Boss Becky, don't shoot, I'll take your refuge in you. ”

"Changed his tune so quickly, it seems to be a bunch of sensible guys."
