【The Great Line, Paradise, City of the Queen of Spring, September 1492 in the Ocean Calendar】
"Hey, BABY, get up!!"
zimu~zimu~zi mu♪~~~』
"If you are too thin, you will be too popular, so I deliberately try not to lose weight~~Fanku♪~!!"
The city of spring, Santa Pobla, is a beautiful city that only has spring.
At this moment, on the makeshift stage, Quinn, who has not completely transformed into a ball, is singing and dancing crazily.
His bare upper body can still vaguely see his former eight-pack abs.
Those tourists passing by looked across the stage with strange expressions, without any intention of stopping.
"He is really a strange person. He sings all kinds of weird melodies."
"That's right, it's better to leave quickly, it will be bad if you get caught."
"Hey, his face looks familiar to me, I seem to have seen it somewhere..."
The song ends.
Listening to the whispers coming from below, Quinn spat to the side.
"Damn it, why am I performing here for these guys who don't know how to appreciate art!?"
"It's all my fault for that lunatic Gaji, I told you not to study the blood factor. If it weren't for him, I would still be in MADS now!!"
The more he spoke, the angrier he became, and the microphone in his hand was squeezed so hard that it became slightly deformed.
"Found it!"
"We are CP4, the illegal scientist Quinn, affiliated with the World Government, and we are arresting you now for endangering the safety of the sea!!"
"Stop, don't run!!"
"Fools don't run."
Quinn muttered something, turned around, broke through the wooden board with the word "Quinn Concert", and rushed straight into the dark alley.
"You hateful hounds, I will never let you go!"
"I am Quinn, the one who wants to be the king of singing and dancing...ah, no, it should be Mr. Quinn, who wants to become the strongest scientist!!"
"I will definitely come back!!!"
...
At the same time, the Shampoo Islands.
A ship with a horned skull pirate flag suddenly fell from the sky and crashed into the sea near the shipyard near tree No. 50.
"Babarnuki, move quickly, set sail again before those navies who are like dog-skin plasters come to find you!"
Kaido stepped out of the cabin, followed by Jhin and Bazel, who had already put on black leather clothes and masks.
"Jhin, I leave the safety of the ship to you, Bazel and I are going to go inside."
"I understand, Mr. Kaido."
Jhin waved his hand towards the rear.
"Babanuji, let your people split up, and some of them go to the shipwright to repair the ship, and then send people to purchase supplies for navigation."
"Yes, Lord Jhin!"
Unlike when getting along with Bazel, Babanuki did not dare to treat Jhin with the title of big brother.
If Bazel is the brain of all beasts, he is kind to others, patient and full of patience.
Hence, Jhin is the blade of the beasts. He is a cold and serious person. Whenever he touches the bottom line of the beasts, death is waiting for him.
"Hurry, hurry up, we can stay here for up to 6 hours and solve everything we need within 6 hours!"
Hurry up. Babanuki's roar echoed at the dock.
ttle, stay on the boat.」
Before leaving, Bazer gave Tianyue a warning.
"This is the Chambord Islands, not a place where you can go shopping casually. Brother Kaido and I will go in to buy some things and will be back soon."
"I understand, please pay attention to your safety." Tianyue Shi held Bazel's hand uneasily.
"Don't worry, the essence of the food I ate last time has not been fully digested yet, and my strength is much stronger."
Bazel deliberately arched his biceps to joke.
As for the essence of the cuisine in his mouth...
It is naturally the giant lantern fish that has lived for hundreds of years.
One month ago, the Beast Pirates ate the lantern fish with super vitality.
The part of the lantern that contains the most life essence is naturally eaten by Bazel and his true confidants.
Different from ordinary lantern fish, this oversized lantern fish eats pure gold and digests it into nutrients. The lantern on its head is not composed of simple gland cells.
Perhaps it’s because of the pure gold.
The interior of the large, glowing lantern is filled with flesh like golden jelly.
It tastes smooth but not greasy, and paired with the special fruit dipping sauce made by Tianyue Shi, Bazel and the others want to swallow their tongues.
And this special fish dish did not disappoint them.
The most direct change is the two women in the pirate group.
Olga is already young and her skin does not see much change.
On the contrary, during the period of slowly digesting the food, the skin became more and more firm and supple.
The whole person exudes a pleasant aroma.
But the strange thing is that only Bazel seems to be able to smell this aroma.
No matter Kaido or Jin, they just feel that Tianyue has become a little different, and there is no way to talk about the fragrance.
‘Well, she probably liked you very much when she was little, so that’s why she exuded that nice smell when she was alone with you.
Anyway, Abel and I can’t smell it. 』
When Kaido said this, Bazel still looked surprised.
Tianyue Shi didn’t refute, but her pretty face was slightly red and she looked at Bazel shyly.
It was precisely because of Kaido's accidental assist that the relationship between the two developed by leaps and bounds in the next month.
Except for the last step, everything a couple should do has been basically done.
As for why there is no breakthrough...
It is entirely because the environment does not allow it, and more than a hundred people are crowded on a ketch.
As long as there is some noise, the whole ship can hear it, but it is not far off.
Bazel has no habit of being listened to.
"Didn't you see that I have become stronger with the help of Brother Kaido?"
"My Yamata's Shadow is an attack that they call a natural disaster."
The life essence of the lantern fish brings more than just an increase in lifespan. Bazel is very sensitive to his own body's condition.
In the month since he ate the lantern fish, his physical strength has been getting stronger.
Hands on even when sleeping and bathing.
Coupled with Kaido's small tutoring classes from time to time, his current strength is at least three times stronger than when he first became a pirate.
According to Kaido---
【You may not be able to defeat Shiji now, but you already have the capital to fight, and even if you fight, you will not be defeated as easily as last time. 】
「Yes, yes, you are the most powerful.」
Helping Bazel adjust his collar, Tianyue stood up on tiptoes and kissed the man gently on the lips, then stuffed a note into his coat pocket.
"If everything goes well, bring me some clothes."
"Well, I will remember it, then I'll set off."
Leaving these words behind, Bazel walked a few steps quickly to catch up with Kaido who had already disembarked from the boat.
"Brother, who did you make an appointment to meet here?"
"I really can't hide it from you."
Kaido was not surprised that Bazel could guess how one head can think more than eight heads.
"It's a friend we sailed with before. I was short of money recently, so I asked him for some."
“Captain John of the Rocks Pirates?” Bazel asked.
Hairing this name, Kaido looked surprised.
"Where did you know about it? I shouldn't have mentioned him to you, right?"
"News."
Bazelle took out a newspaper.
"This is yesterday's news. Someone saw Captain John of the Rocks Pirates appearing in the Shampoo Islands."
"Combined with what you just said, brother, it should be him without a doubt."
"As expected of you."
Kaido's eyes flashed red, and he looked for that familiar aura.
"That's right, it's the cowardly double swordsman."
"He and Shi Ji were the first to escape during the Battle of the Valley of the Gods. The two of them took part of the land of the Valley of the Gods and rushed into the Windless Zone."
The Windless Zone?
After pondering for a while, Bazel said in surprise:
"I remember that the Valley of the Gods is in the West Sea, right? In other words, the two of them returned to the New World after you fought?"
"Found it."
Kaido suddenly turned his head and looked to the southwest.
There was an alley there, and at the entrance stood a stubbled man with light pink hair and a captain's windbreaker.
"That guy John went back to the Beehive Island directly after returning to the New World, and took away most of the treasures before we returned."
"As for why he came to give Bailey to me...oooooooo!"
"That's because that bastard Shiji has been short of money recently. John plans to form an alliance with me and defeat the golden lion first."
"Should I say we haven't seen each other for a long time, John... Captain!"
