On the edge of the pier, the cheerleaders had been swinging the bouquet enthusiastically for at least twenty minutes.
Ever since they saw the majestic Black Bird in the distance, their movements never stopped.
Are they tired?
Of course I’m tired!
They had long wanted to drop their things and find a place to lie down for a while, preferably in a spa.
but…….
Looking at the swords and guns in the hands of the group of black suits behind him...
The cheerleaders looked at each other and smiled.
Just this threat, whatever...
They dance for one night at most!
Due to the efforts of the cheerleaders, the Black Bird gradually came to a stop, and then a small Black Bird set off from the big ship and headed towards the dock.
When people on the shore could vaguely see the figures standing on the bow of the Little Black Bird...
The guys who were so tired just now feel like they have been given a shot of blood now!
There is no need for millions of elders and hundreds of millions of elders to urge them, they have already filled up their subjective initiative.
After all, what kind of guy is standing on that ship!
The pirates and bounty hunters had an orgasm the moment they saw Rayleigh.
The identity of Rayleigh, the legendary pirate, has fully ignited the enthusiasm of pirates, and the 4 billion bounty that Rayleigh now carries is one of every bounty hunter's dreams!
For pirates, their ultimate dream is a great secret treasure!
For bounty hunters, an emperor-level powerhouse like Rayleigh with a bounty of more than 4 billion is their best friend!!!
Beyond that, for every man on the dock.
The two most beautiful women in the world, the fish-man princess and the pirate empress, were all looking at me on that ship!
As for Kozuki Hiyori…….
Sorry, the country is locked down over there, and outsiders don't know about this No. 1 courtesan in Wano.
As a result, the men who were attracted by Shirahoshi and the Empress were as excited as if they were watching their idols walk out of the painting.
As for women, the news that Gawain has continuously created at sea in the past six months has already made him a treasure in the hearts of countless women at sea.
A high status, unparalleled power, handsome appearance, and domineering heart.
If these things are combined in a man, can such a man not become a woman's heart?
In other words, isn’t loving Gaowen more fragrant than loving Kunkun?
In this way, when the Little Black Bird got closer and closer, the crowd who had been forced just now truly found the excitement that cheering should have.
So when Gawain got off the boat, he couldn't help but be surprised to feel the hearts of everyone nearby.
According to the information fed back by the Heart Network, judging from the neurobioelectricity of most people nearby, it appears that they are actually cheering for their group sincerely?
This is a bit confusing to Gawain. Isn't this a superficial job put on by Crocodile?
While confused, Gawain calmly walked through the hanging ladder and arrived at the pier.
The moment he stepped onto the pier, the cheers stopped abruptly.
Somehow, at this moment, the people around him stopped their actions uniformly.
Except for the music group who was still playing an elegant symphony, everyone else stopped moving and followed the elders in black to kneel down towards Gawain.
Gawain only took two steps on the pier when the sound of worshiping came from all around...
Looking at the Whiskey Mountain in such a condition, what else could Gawain say.
He waved his hand and said softly.
"Let's break up!"
After the words fell, Gawain turned around and confessed directly to Kalifa.
"Unlike other islands, Whiskey Peak is the first island on the Grand Route. Every pirate who walks into the Grand Route is destined to go through Whiskey Peak!
Therefore, the importance here is beyond doubt!
Kalifa and Crocodile have laid the foundation here, so next, you and Lu Qi will take over the financial and security work here respectively.
Here, we must achieve absolute control. Only in this way can we truly block the Great Route!"
After the words fell, Gawain looked at the crowd around him and saw him pondering for a moment before continuing.
"As for everyone currently on this island, forgive me, I don't want anyone who is not us to exist here!
Send people to recruit each one, and then clean them!
Those who are willing to stand side by side with us will be divided among you, Xia Qi, Lu Qi and Crocodile.
Shiliu who doesn’t want to!”
Gawain looked at Xiliu and Xiliu immediately came behind Gawain.
Rubbing the thunderstorm in her hand, Xiliu smiled.
"Sir, don't worry, I know what I should do, and I can't wait!"
After saying that, Xiliu sneered and looked around at the crowd who were cheering just now but now looked frightened.
On the side, after hearing Gawain's words, the three children Bai Xing, Uta and Weiwei were stunned.
While opening his jaw in shock, Bai Xing moved closer to Gawain.
"Lord Gawain~~~."
she asked quietly.
"Aren't there no bad people here? Why do they still kill people? Everyone is obviously very enthusiastic..."
"Oh, really?"
Hearing Shirahoshi's words, Gawain smiled and patted Shirahoshi's tail, and saw him turn his head to look towards Gion.
"Gion, please take our little girls for a walk on the Prickly Pear Mountain near Whiskey Peak.
Once there, if the children still feel that there are good people here.
Then stop giving the kids ice cream for two months!"
After the words fell, Gawain rubbed Bai Xing's tail in a funny way, and then he, Rayleigh and his party went directly to the center of Whiskey Mountain.
Gawain still had a lot to do. He had to make a comprehensive reference to a series of data on the local population and economic conditions, and then formulate a plan for what they should do when they stayed at Whiskey Peak in the next ten days.
After Gawain and his party left, near the dock, Kalifa, Shaqi, Luqi, Crocodile and others also began to get busy.
The Iron Eagles, Ace and Iska followed Kalifa with heavy expressions.
But while taking action, the two young men responded to Gawain's order with considerable depression.
After all, this is so cruel, the kind of cruelty of first forcing the other party to join you, and then killing the other party if they don't agree.
But not long after, when Ace and the others, together with Shirahoshi and the others, walked through the dozens of thousands of meters high cactus mountains surrounding Whiskey Mountain.
They no longer have that doubt!
Whiskey Peak is indeed rich in fine wines, and it is indeed the home of fine wines along the Grand Line, but is it really just a patchwork of flowers?
impossible!
This is the first large island under the Upside Down Mountain, and this is a place that every new pirate in the world must pass through!
All young pirates in the world, after setting foot on the Grand Line, must walk around Whiskey Peak!
Not only is this not a peaceful place, on the contrary, it is the place with the highest concentration of killings on the sea!
The tall round peaks surrounding it are called Cactus Mountain.
Because those mountains, seen from a distance, are covered with dense white spikes that are similar to cacti.
But when you get closer, you'll find it.
The so-called dense white fluffy thorns on the cactus mountain are not the so-called fluff and thorns.
They are simply white cross tombstones one after another!!!
In the past 800 years, there have been more than tens or even hundreds of millions of tombstones accumulated on Whiskey Mountain!!!
This island is the island with the largest number of dead people and the highest concentration of dead people in the Grand Line and even in the world!
This is a place of chaos, and even more so, a place of death!!!
…
…
…
Before I knew it, twenty days had passed.
In the bar in the central area of Whiskey Peak, Gawain was lying on his back on the sofa, gently stroking Bai Xing's head.
Feeling Gawain's hand, Bai Xing couldn't help but rub his face against Gawain's whole body.
"Sir, when can we leave? I really don't like it here. How about we leave quickly..."
That's right, unlike in the past, now even the white star has risen with the intention of setting off as soon as possible.
Without it, the environment near Whiskey Peak would have caused too much damage to White Star!
Since the day he arrived on the island, Bai Xing saw with his own eyes tens of millions of tombstones all over the mountains and plains, and the extremely rich smell of death on the Cactus Mountain.
Bai Xing almost went crazy.
She almost spit out her bile.
In the past, Bai Xing always had curiosity and love for various forests and grasslands.
But in the past twenty days, Bai Xing has hardly gone out. She always feels that no matter where she floats, there is a dead body buried under her tail!
At the same time, she didn't even dare to go into the water, because as soon as she went into the water, she felt that the seawater around her was full of the smell of dead bodies.
In this way, Bai Xing became a stay-at-home girl for the first time, staying with Gawain every day, and turned into a pitiful little person who could only survive by hanging out with Lord Gawain.
On the side, listening to Bai Xing's question, Gawain habitually massaged Bai Xing's face while he looked at the report in his other hand.
"Don't worry, we can probably set off tonight.
I took a look and found that Frankie's forward-looking station has been completed, and the weather observation station was also completed two days ago, and meteorologists have been stationed.
As for the personnel sorting work in various departments, well..., the Black Bird has an additional 37,000 members.
According to Franky, the Black Bird will be renovated and expanded in the next two years, and I also need to update enough metal on the ship to increase my thundering ability.
In this case, the number of people around 40,000 is still not enough.
However, only more than 30,000 people were selected from the Whiskey Peak. Next, we should recruit some outstanding young people from the East China Sea.
As for the Cactus Mountains, Yixiao has plowed through all of them in the past few days and lit several fires to slightly purify the smell of death on them.
Hopefully Whiskey Mountain can be reborn from this fire.
As for what we are doing now, it is mainly to replenish food and drinks.
Due to the sharp increase in population, it is estimated that we will not be able to complete the replenishment until the evening."
Having said this, Gawain couldn't help but sigh. Without coming to this place in person, he would not have known that the situation facing Whiskey Mountain was so severe!
There is an extreme shortage of money, water and food here!
Logically speaking, there is a large area of fertile land where countless corpses are buried, so they should not be short of food.
But on the one hand, they need to free up food to make wine, and on the other hand, they need to face pirates from all over the world...
Although most novice pirates would stumble in Whiskey Peak, the bounty hunters at Whiskey Peak should be able to do business easily.
But in fact, in recent years, Whiskey Peak has been facing a cycle.
The locals of Whiskey Peak, under the leadership of the Baroque Cooperative, robbed all the new pirates who had just entered the Grand Line.
The pirates with bounties on their heads were taken out and sold, while the pirates without bounties on their heads were kept to work.
But among those novice pirates, there will always be a group of people that Whiskey Peak can't afford to mess with from time to time...
Just like Luffy and his party, when they climbed Whiskey Mountain, Zoro simply left behind the legend of killing a hundred people.
In short, while Whiskey Peak was robbing all the pirates, it was also going to be robbed by the Dragon Crossing pirates at every turn...
The reason why Whiskey Mountain is so huge is that while it has robbed and absorbed countless pirates and bounty hunters, it still only has less than 100,000 people.
Because whenever they encounter a dragon crossing the river, the people on the island will be picked out by those dragons crossing the river and take away some of the best...
Therefore, the cycle that Whiskey Mountain has been going through is ridiculous...rob, get robbed, rob, get robbed...
After all, only corpses were left on the ground here. Apart from the corpses, there was no money, no wine, and no resources.
This is the problem Gawain faces today.
As for his method of solving problems, he has decided on it since he first arrived on the island.
Absorb, kill, that's all.
After absorbing young children, innocent women, young people of suitable age and old people with special skills into the team, almost all the others died at the hands of Shiliu.
As a result, the number of people in Whiskey Peak was greatly reduced, and their meager resources immediately became abundant.
Once the overall supplies become insufficient, then reducing the population is always the most effective way.
It's just that this method requires sufficient determination and cruelty to be implemented.
Fortunately, Gawain didn't have any psychological shadow.
As he said, how many truly good people can be found on such an island where hundreds of millions of people have died?
When Gawain was thinking, Bai Xing let out a long breath.
In the past twenty days, as a young child, she seemed to have experienced a little of the pressure that adults face.
I saw her whispering.
"Great, I can finally leave here.
I... these days, I always feel like there are a lot of souls noisy in my ears.
Although they are all praising you for doing a great job, it still sounds scary to me.
I can finally leave~."
Click!
Just as Bai Xing said this, the door of the tavern was pushed open, and two old men, Rayleigh and Zefa, walked in together.
After Zefa came in, he held his mechanical arm and sat next to Gawain with a golden sword.
"Little Khalifa, help me get a glass of the strongest whiskey!!!"
"Okay, old man."
Kalifa responded and at the same time picked up a jug of milk from the wine cabinet, and then skillfully put a label on the milk jug.
After a while, the milk jug was delivered to Zefa.
Zefa picked up the milk angrily and looked at the label attached to Kalifa.
"cut……."
The old man curled his lips.
"It actually just says...the strongest whiskey?
You little brats are controlled too strictly by Sister Kuleha!"
"Old man, this is all for your health."
Kalifa smiled, pushed her eyes, and responded to Zefa.
Hearing this, Zefa weakly took a sip of milk.
Looking at the white breasts next to Zefa's lips, Rayleigh laughed rudely.
After being slightly prodded by Reilly, Zefa knocked on the table in displeasure.
"You're laughing your ass off, you old ghost!
Although you can still drink healthily now, you are older than me!
You will have this day sooner or later, hum!"
After the words fell, Zefa turned around unhappily. He drank milk and refused to look at Rayleigh again.
And Raleigh.
He smiled and patted Gawain on the shoulder.
"Captain, I heard from the logistics department that we will set off in the afternoon or evening, right?"
"Indeed." Gawain nodded.
Hearing this, Rayleigh smiled expectantly, and then said to Gawain.
"Then the island we are going to next is Twin Capes!"
After the words fell, Rayleigh raised his wine glass and bumped it hard with Gawain.
After taking a long sip of strong wine, Rayleigh burped in Zefa's direction and made Zefa angry.
Then, he turned back to Gawain and continued.
"The old friend I told you before, the doctor we had back then, Kurokas!
Haha, that guy lives near the lighthouse in Twin Points!
Captain, although we already have Sister Kuleha and little guy Chopper on board.
But after all, the more top doctors, the better!
So, hehe.
It's up to you, the captain, to pull this old friend of mine onto our ship!
Don't count on my relationship with him. It was Roger who let him come on board in the first place, not me.
So if you want to recruit him now, you still have to do it yourself!"
After speaking, Raleigh held the wine glass and looked forward to Gawain's answer.
On the side, Gawain nodded lightly.
"Listen to you, old man, the more excellent doctors the better!
Not only Mr. Kurokas, I will also try my best to bring people with surgical fruit abilities to our ship in the future!
However, we are still looking for those with surgical fruit abilities, so let’s get Kurokas in our hands first!”
"It would be great!"
Reilly smiled excitedly, then looked at the window and said expectantly.
"It's about three days' flight from here, and we can reach Twin Capes.
And Koulokas, that guy lives in the belly of an island whale near Twin Capes!
That guy was the lighthouse keeper at Twin Points more than fifty years ago!
Roger and I found him in the belly of the whale named Rab!"
"Um!"
Gawain on the side nodded slightly.
"The whale is still hanging around Cape Twin, and Kurokas is there too.
