On the pier, Qing Zhi held his goggles with his right hand and looked at the boat carefully.
After a moment, he nodded with a wry smile.
"It's really Tezzolo, it's hard for him to be willing to take such a crude ship, haha!"
On the side, listening to Aokiji's laughter, Gion gently held his sword.
"Sir, do you want to bring him here?"
Hearing this, Gawain chuckled and shook his head.
"Why bother? Let him continue to be A Piao. It is estimated that the only one that can provide him with coating services now is the World Government's dock.
I don’t know how much Wulaoxing will charge him, haha.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain simply forgot about the boat in the distance. He was not in the mood to talk to the Golden Emperor. That guy was not qualified to talk to him yet.
As for when he will be eligible in the future, it depends on when Gawain needs him.
After Gawain left behind the matter of the Golden Emperor, he walked gently past Kuzan.
When passing by Kuzan, Gawain finally said.
"By the way, Kuzan, what else do you want?
If not, just kidding, I’m going to catch up with my murloc friends.”
This was obviously a way to see off guests, so Qingzhi could only smile and nod.
"I won't disturb you anymore, Saint Gao Wen, I will continue to take care of that Tezzolo.
However, Gao Wensheng, are you free in the past few days?
If so, can you give me some time so that I can have a little chat with you?"
"oh?"
Gawain paused, turned around, and looked at Qing Pheasant with a thoughtful frown.
Across from him, looking at Gawain's thinking eyes, Qing Zhi's brows suddenly tightened.
This pressure that subtly seeped into his heart...
Gao Wensheng's overlord look is even stronger than what Marshal of the Warring States Period described!
And Gawain, after thinking about it, he said softly.
"I still have training tomorrow morning, so let's do it at two o'clock in the afternoon. As for the location, you should be able to find me."
After the words fell, Gawain continued at his feet. He passed by Qing Pheasant, and then walked towards Neptune.
Behind him, looking at Gawain's back, Qingzhi smiled and nodded.
"Thank you very much, Gao Wensheng, see you tomorrow." He said to Gao Wen's back.
When he was saying goodbye, Gion happened to pass by him, so Gion picked up the scabbard of his sword and struck the blue pheasant.
"Kuzan, take good care of Sister Xianghe for me."
"ha……?"
Gion's words made Aoki feel like crying.
"And bring a good one?!
After your story got out, Mr. Karp and I had a good fight!
I was chased by him from Upside Down Mountain to Alabasta, can you believe it?!"
With a joke, Aokiji waved his hand to Gion, then he got on his bicycle and left the Fishman Pier.
At the same time, Gawain came to Neptune. He smiled, opened his arms, and hugged Musgard first.
"How do you feel after not seeing each other for three months, Musgarud?"
"Haha, it feels great. The mermaids and fish people are very friendly to me. I feel like I have found a home.
It just so happens that they also landed, so I will build a palace here in Xiangbodi and continue to live with them, haha!"
Musgard laughed and patted Gawain on the back, then he let go of Gawain and pulled Gawain towards Neptune.
"You don't have to worry about me, Gawain, come and see what Neptune has prepared for you.
This thing must be unfolded by you yourself!"
As he spoke, Musgard pulled Gawain in front of Neptune, and Neptune handed over the package in his hand with emotion on his face.
"Lord Gawain!"
He said seriously and seriously.
"This is your flag that I brought from Fish-Man Island!
This will be the first time the Murloc Kingdom has raised its flag on land, so I hope you can personally give us the order to raise the flag!"
"Raise the flag?"
Gawain narrowed his eyes, and then stretched out his hand towards Neptune.
"Let me take a look."
Seeing Gawain reaching out to take the flag, Neptune lifted the package with both hands with great excitement and delivered the flag to Gawain.
Grabbing the package, Gawain opened the outer silk bag and pulled out the cloth inside.
Gawain grabbed a corner of the cloth and raised the flag vigorously.
Suddenly, the extremely clear black bird flew in the sky above the dock.
Looking at the flag in his hand, Gawain nodded heavily.
"Neptune, you have a heart, that's good."
Listening to Gawain's praise, Neptune bowed his head heavily.
"As long as Lord Gawain is satisfied, it's fine. Our Fish-Man Island is in today's situation only because of Lord Gawain's help!
From now on, as long as Saint Gao Wen is there to drive us, we, the fish-men clan, will definitely be our masters!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Neptune waved his hand, and four fully armed Neptune soldiers came closer.
They solemnly took the flag from Gawain, and then raised the black bird flag to the highest point of the flagpole.
When the black bird fluttered in the wind in the sky above Xiangbo Land, Gawain took a deep breath. Although he had made his own flag long ago, this was the first time he saw the flag raised in his own territory.
The heat continued to surge in Gawain's heart, and even he lowered his eyelids slightly for a moment.
Is this what it feels like to be trusted by someone?
Watching the black bird being lifted up by the fish people and then flying high in the sky.
Gawain always felt that it was not an ordinary flag, but his own heart!
Thinking of this, Gawain took a long breath. After exhaling, he reached into his pocket and took out a cigarette.
Hancock took out a lighter from his chest and lit it for Gawain calmly.
Taking a puff of cigarette, Gawain nodded.
"very good!"
He said to Neptune.
"I saw you coming to the land, and seeing you enjoying the sunshine and sea breeze freely like you are now.
I always feel that Princess Otohime’s soul is smiling in the sky.”
Having said this, he patted Neptune's tail.
"However, if the fishmen want to completely carry Princess Otohime's smile, you still need to work hard enough!
The close proximity of my flag and Musgarud will prevent you from being disturbed by large forces.
But the Shampoo Islands are where the new generation of pirates from all over the world gather, and it has never been truly safe here.
Neptune, I hope that you can carry forward the past as the king of the fishmen in the new era and lead your people to truly secure this corner of the land.
Do not disappoint me!"
"Of course, my lord!"
Neptune nodded heavily.
“I have come this far, and there is no way I can take another half step back!
What's more, sir, I was also the number one warrior of the fishmen with the title of Great Knight of the Sea!
Although my sons stay at the bottom of the sea to maintain order and manage the Dragon Palace Kingdom, I, the number one warrior, lead my people.
As long as they are not pirate supernovas with extraordinary strength, then I believe that I will let them know how powerful the fishmen are!
If I can't even deal with the current troubles, how can I have the nerve to promise you that I will make the fishmen your strength!"
After the words fell, Neptune lay on the ground and solemnly saluted Gawain.
At the same time, the murlocs seemed to be infected. They knelt on the ground respectfully, silently watching Gawain, and even more so, the flying black bird flag.
In the middle of everyone's sight, Gawain nodded heavily.
"I'll leave it to you."
After saying that, Gawain gently raised his hand and helped Niptonxu up.
After Neptune stood up, Gawain patted Neptune's tail again.
"I have other things to be busy with. You should first build up the industries that are urgently needed recently.
After you have completely established your footing, I will leave your people with a job that allows them to come into contact with humans, namely coating.
But then at least you have to wait until you are fully prepared before you can start.
In addition, I will host a banquet for you on the Black Bird tonight, so don’t forget to come.
So be it."
After the words fell, Gawain let go of Neptune and waved to Musgard again.
"Senior Musgard, don't forget to take a look at the betting game for me later. If you can, you might as well go down and play with Rozwald.
As for me, I went to work out!"
"Okay, don't worry, Gawain, I'll be there after eating with the fish people in a while!"
Musgard nodded excitedly, then he watched Gawain's leaving back and silently shed tears of emotion.
After Gawain completely disappeared, Musgarud burst into tears.
"It's him, it's all him. Without him, I never thought I would be able to fulfill Princess Otohime's dream one day, woo woo woo!"
"Yes, it's all thanks to you. Without you, I wouldn't even dare to know who Otohime's real enemy is, wuwuwu!"
Suddenly, the Pathetic duo came online again, and then there were two more figures on the pier, drinking beer.
As for Gawain, he led everyone back to the Black Bird and continued his training business.
Mr. Rayleigh and Kalifa temporarily stayed on Shampoo Island.
This old man may have been consumed by this gambling game in the past few days.
The gambling game continued until 5:30 in the afternoon, with a short break for an hour, and then started again and continued until 1 in the morning.
On the first day alone, 90% of the hundreds of thousands of gamblers were expelled, and 10% of them were caught by members of the Black Ice Platform.
All I can say is that it is indeed a world where pirates are rampant, and there are too many people who do not follow the rules.
But the casino really can't deal with these guys completely. If they kill them all, will there still be pirates who think they can get away with money to play in the future?
Therefore, these crooks were just like the Golden Emperor. They were stripped of all their money and then thrown into the sea, leaving them to fend for themselves.
And at two o'clock in the evening, when Kalifa returned to the Black Bird with excitement on her face.
In the side bedroom outside Gawain's bedroom, Gion and Hancock, who were facing a confrontation, received the good news from Kalifa for Gawain.
After the Golden Emperor's ship was salvaged, it contained gold worth 170 billion beli, and his cabin also contained more than 60 billion banknotes.
Originally, the banknotes should have been around 80 billion, but unfortunately many of them were picked up when the Golden Emperor distributed the money.
However, Khalifa did not join the mob in recovering the money.
Firstly, Khalifa did not want to compete with the mob to steal money.
Secondly, those guys who come here for gambling will always spend their money in the casino.
As for the Black Bird, after receiving this news, Hancock and Gion gave up their thoughts of confrontation.
This is really good news.
After paying attention to the issue of funds, Gion asked Kalifa with some doubts.
"By the way, Kalifa, where is Mr. Reilly?
He didn't come back with you?"
"This."
Kalifa explained with a smile.
"Mr. Leili's home is on Shampoo Island, and he said he wanted to go home and have a look.
Of course I won't stop him, right?"
…
…
…
The illegal zone of Shampoo Island, at the entrance of Xia Qi's rip-off bar.
With heavy steps, Reilly walked around the more than twenty corpses hanging at the door of the bar and pushed open the door of the bar.
Facing her, Xia Qi was sleeping soundly on the bar. She held a bottle of unfinished wine in her left hand and a long-extinguished cigarette butt in her right hand.
Seeing Xia Qi like this, Rayleigh gently took off his glasses and wiped them carefully.
At the same time, on the bar, Xia Qi slowly got up.
She glanced at Rayleigh first, then sneered, and then took some tobacco from the side and lit it for herself.
Taking a breath of smoke, Xia Qi asked with a sneer.
"So, is the world-famous Pluto Rayleigh leaving Chambord Island completely?"
"No, it's Pluto Rayleigh who has lost his direction for too long and wants to try surfing again, Xia Qi."
Reilly shook his head, put on his glasses again, and sat down in the booth opposite the bar.
Holding his arms on the bar counter, Rayleigh held his chin with his hand and let out a long sigh.
"Xia Qi, I..."
"No need to say more."
Xia Qi waved her hands expressionlessly.
"This is a place where homeless people and people who are waiting for death eke out a living. My small shop cannot accommodate a guy with a dream!"
"Don't say that."
Rayleigh forced a smile, then he reached out and picked up the remaining half bottle of wine from Xia Qi.
After pouring himself a glass, he poured another glass for Xia Qi.
"Come have a drink with me."
He said, then raised his cup.
Hearing this, Xia Qi bumped into him without comment.
After the two of them drank their drinks, Riley lowered his head and looked at the bar, while Xia Qi tilted her head and smoked a cigarette.
They didn't speak for a long time.
When Xia Qi's cigarette burned out again, she put out the cigarette butt in the ashtray. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the ashtray instantly shattered into pieces.
It was at this time that Xia Qi let out a long sigh and asked in a low voice.
"Have you really decided to bet the rest of your old life on that Gawain?"
"I've always been like this, Xia Qi."
Lei Li laughed leisurely.
"Back then, I was lying on a stolen boat, basking in the sun leisurely, but there happened to be a guy who looked very stupid and said to me, let's go look for the illusory Rafdru!
I am always good at discovering the extraordinary in others, just like at that moment, I gave up the rest of my life for Roger when I could have lived quietly.
I am a natural wave rider, and I will always detect where the highest point of a wave is before it rises again!"
"So you found the highest point of the wave again. Do you really believe that guy can bring a new era to this sea as a Celestial Dragon?"
Xia Qi curled her lips disdainfully, she never believed in Gawain, she never believed him.
But after listening to Xia Qi's words, Lei Li became uncharacteristically determined and tapped the table lightly with his index finger.
"Xia Qi, you said something wrong. In my opinion, Captain Gawain will not be the one to bring a new era to the sea!
Because times are always changing, even the era created by Roger is destined to be swallowed up by the ebb and flow of the future and to the deepest part of the sea!
But Gawain, he is very likely to bring a new order, or even a new concept, to this world. This is what I admire and am determined to add fire to!"
Having said this, Reilly opened his face with a big smile.
"My past has brought too much suffering to this sea. In the past twenty years, every drop of blood mixed in this sea must be partly caused by me.
Things like this keep me awake at night, you know!"
"So your new pursuit can make you sleep peacefully again!!!"
Xia Qi slammed the table.
"You are already seventy-three. Do you know what seventy-three means? You are six years older than Whitebeard. You are really an old guy!
I can see your hard work, but hard work cannot defeat time, just like hard work cannot defeat fate!
Do you really want to die at sea!!!"
"I just want to die with you, no matter it's the storefront where you live alone, or the manic sea, Xia Qi!!!"
Facing the increasingly irritable Xia Qi, Lei Li suddenly stood up, and his eyes that had always been lazy were now full of determination and perseverance!
I saw him approaching Xia Qi step by step, his body crushed the bar counter, and then passed through the rotten wood chips.
He looked at Xia Qi silently and firmly and said.
"follow me."
Facing Lei Li's last voice, Xia Qi opened her mouth in surprise. She looked at Lei Li blankly for a moment, then she grinned and reached for Lei Li's eyes.
"Your glasses are cracked."
She said, taking off Rayleigh's glasses at the same time, and turned around to repair them.
But she was clearly repairing Rayleigh's glasses.
What she wiped was the corners of Xia Qi's eyes...
