The old man Kurokas of Flower Petal carried the harpoon gun and looked at the blond young man on the deck.
This is a young man with a well-proportioned figure and an extremely handsome appearance. His blond hair is casually scattered behind his ears, with only a strand hanging down to his forehead. He is wearing a well-fitting black fine suit, and he is looking at himself leisurely with his hands in his pockets.
"The tower guard of Twin Gorges, is it strange that you don't know?" Victor smiled slightly, turned to Robin and said: "Get ready to stop the boat and dock, everyone get off the boat."
The Beagle docked firmly on the shore of the lighthouse. After everything was parked, everyone disembarked along with Victor and came to the towerkeeper's hut.
"Wow~ Why is this place called Twin Gorges?" Perona put up a pergola and looked at the sea in the distance. The towerkeeper's hut is located on a low hillside, with a very wide view.
Robin pointed to the other side of the Great Line's entrance to the sea: "Because there are two identical lighthouses here, it is called 'Twin Gap'. However, because the profession of 'Twin Gap Tower Keeper' is too dangerous, there is only one keeper all year round.
Tower people will only light up one of the lighthouses."
Kurokas put the chairs and round table that had been kicked over by the 'Rhinoceros Bill' gang in front of the tower guard's hut back to their original positions, thumped his waist and sat on the lounge chair, and said slowly: "Is your intelligence officer very idle?
?Even Twin Gorges has investigated it so clearly."
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Victor sharply: "So, you are the leader of the West Sea gang who defeated the 'Shichibukai', right? 'Vicious Chain' Mafia Victor, I didn't expect you to come so soon.
Now that we have arrived at the Grand Line, everyone is guessing that you are going to use the fame of defeating the 'King Shichibukai' in the West Sea to gather your men and form a huge force before marching into the Grand Line. I didn't expect that you would just bring such a few girls with you.
Here we go...Boy, are you looking down on the Grand Line? This is not a place to play house!"
"What are you talking about, you bald old ghost..." Perona was furious, but was stopped by Wu Hongji.
Victor pulled out a chair, sat across from Kurokas, and said with a smile: "Perona, don't be impulsive. Although Mr. Kurokas's words are a bit direct, he is sincerely admonishing us... I take it with my heart."
.But now that I'm here, I don't plan to cross the windless zone and roll back to the West Sea in despair. Although I am not a pirate, I am still very interested in visiting this 'pirate paradise'. So, click here
Come on, please follow the rules, we will be responsible for the daily supplies during your stay.”
He turned to look at Wu Hongji: "Xiao Wu, let's eat on the shore tonight."
With a flick of Victor's finger, a 'guiding zipper' flew to the Beagle's hull. Then, a zipper opened wide, and several zipper tentacles took out several boxes of supplies from the zipper space and put them on the shore.
Wu Hongji walked into the kitchen and started working on the evening meal. Seeing that Victor had something to talk to the old man with petals, Perona and Robin also walked into the kitchen to help Wu Hongji.
Kurokas watched several ladies enter the tower guard's hut, turned to look at Victor, his eyes full of ridicule: "They are all good girls, but... which one is yours?"
As he said that, the old man raised his little thumb obscenely.
Victor half leaned on the chair, stretched out, and said easily: "One is a sister, one is a partner, and the other is a secretary. So, it is none of them. Don't get entangled in such boring issues, let's talk about something.
Let’s get down to business.”
He sat up straight and asked in a serious tone: "Mr. Kurokas, are you interested in serving as the ship's doctor on my ship?"
The old man lay directly on the recliner and said in a lazy tone: "Forget about my old bones. Besides, I am only proficient in medical skills and cannot be a ship's doctor."
Being rejected so perfunctorily, Victor was not annoyed and laughed loudly: "Haha! Although I know the result, I still want to try it after all... It really doesn't work? You can't force something like fate, haha! Kuroka!
Mr. Si, you don’t have to let that island whale hide anymore, I won’t hurt it.”
Kurokas raised his eyebrows and was secretly surprised. He had already asked Rab to hide under the sea. How could he still be discovered?
Could it be that seeing and hearing is domineering?
But judging from this kid's attitude, there should be no problem. Kurokas walked to the shore and made strange noises.
After a while, the sea surface in the distance slowly swelled, and then a huge whale rushed out of the sea, revealing half of its head covered with scars.
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO out out!!!!”
The roar of the whale was deafening, and then its huge round eyes looked at Victor in front of the tower keeper's hut, full of curiosity.
Victor rested his elbow on the table and held his chin with one hand, looking at the island whale Rabu with interest, with a trace of wish fulfillment in his eyes. He had long wanted to see this whale that had a close connection with the comic protagonist team.
.
Comics are comics, and the real whale Rabu is indeed quite shocking. Even if the sea monsters in the West Sea appear in human vision, they are only the size of ships, and the eyes of this island whale are as big as a ship.
As soon as Perona walked out of the house with the brewed tea, she was almost frightened by Rab and threw away the tea set in her hand. He summoned a large group of ghosts and was about to attack. Victor comforted her for a while before convincing her to stop.
That night, in this tower-keeper's hut that had been lonely all year round, Wu Honghime presented everyone with a Wano dinner that was not particularly sumptuous but had a rich exotic flavor.
The meaty vinegar-marinated mackerel, the golden and crispy fried squid tempura, the delicate tamagoyaki, the refreshing wasabi octopus, and the grilled cod with rich sauce are not luxurious and rich, but the presentation is very careful.
At the dinner table, Kurokas tasted the squid tempura and gave Wu Hongji a thumbs up: "Good craftsmanship! Whoever marries you in the future will be lucky!"
Wu Hongji glanced at Victor, covered her cheeks shyly and twisted around on her seat: "I, I am not ready to get married yet..."
Perona looked at Mai Hongji who was in drama queen mode with disdain. She picked up a chopstick of Tamagoyaki and put it into her mouth. She instantly felt happy: "It's so sweet~ It's delicious~"
Robin's attention was focused more on the head of the island whale standing quietly on the sea outside the window. Thousands of words turned into one emotion in his heart - so cute!
Victor and Kurokas picked up large glasses of beer and chatted over the appetizers on the table. The awkward atmosphere before had long since disappeared, and the atmosphere at the table was now very harmonious.
"Hiccup! So, you want to choose a suitable route from the seven routes?" Kurokas looked tipsy, raised his glass and took a big sip, then picked up a chopstick of Tamagoyaki and threw it into his mouth.
Chewing said: "Then you really asked the right person... delicious! But I have to ask first, do you have any requirements for the route?"
Victor nodded, a zipper appeared in his palm, and then a permanent pointer emerged from it: "My destination is the Magic Triangle, and I hope to recruit ship doctors and shipwrights."
Kurokas crossed his shoulders and thought for a while, then slowly said: "Seven routes all lead to the Magic Triangle Sea, you don't have to worry about this. As for doctors, the 'Medical Power' Winter Island Drum Kingdom is full of brilliant doctors.
.”
Kurokas took a sip of wine and continued: "But there is a strange rumor recently, saying that the newly succeeded King Valpo of the Drum Kingdom formulated a strict policy as soon as he came to the throne.
He drove them all out of the kingdom and left only 20 doctors to serve him in the palace. I don’t know whether it is true or not.”
Drum Kingdom... calculate the timeline, has it really started? Victor shook his head: "Forget it, I'll go to Drum Kingdom if I have time in the future. Do you have any other recommendations?"
Kurokas smiled: "Haha, you are such an arrogant boy. You don't want to deal with Valpo? OK, then I have another recommendation - Baishan Town on Chukilik Island. There are rumors that there is a mysterious doctor living in seclusion there.
As long as you can find him, no matter how difficult the disease is to treat, it won't be a problem!"
"Baishan Town...where are the boatmen? Are there any suitable candidates?"
"Haha, we happen to be on the same route. Have you heard of the Water City? There is the world's number one shipbuilder there, and he is a well-known man! But I heard that he has been busy with a big project in recent years...
Anyway, you can go there and try your luck."
"Thank you, Mr. Kurokas!" Victor raised his glass.
"No, I would like to thank you. It's been a long time since I attended such a warm banquet. Thank you."
The two wine glasses touched each other.
The next day.
On the shore of Twin Gorge Lighthouse, Victor and his party bid farewell to Kurokas.
"Have you recorded the record pointer?" Kurokas asked with concern.
Perona looked at the chart, and then at the record pointer on her wrist: "No problem~hoooooooo~~The pointer is pointing in the same direction as the chart!"
Kurokas nodded: "Since you have chosen the route to Baishan Town, the first stop will be Tanar Town, which is a tourist attraction, so have fun!"
Victor shook hands with Cullocas: "Let's go, Mr. Cullocas."
After saying goodbye, the Beagle slowly sailed away and gradually disappeared on the sea level under the watch of Kurokas and Whale Rab.
Kurokas crossed his shoulders and said to himself:
"What a man of extraordinary magnanimity... This sea is about to become lively, right? Rab?"
