Pirate’s Steel Chain Finger

Just south of the remains of the Tree of All-knowledge, a solemn tombstone stands.

Above the solid and heavy base, there is a miniature tree of omniscience made of hard stone, which is a monument carefully carved by Victor with the ability of resin zipper.

Two lines of words are engraved on the base——

[History is human wealth, so is knowledge.

——The scholars of Ohara Island sleep here]

In front of the base of the tombstone, a few freshly picked flowers were placed quietly, shaking slightly in the wind.

Originally, Victor wanted to build a new tombstone for Robin's mother Orovia, but Robin refused.

"Mom, she must also want to be with the doctor and them..."

Robin looked up at the solemn, huge tombstone, tears flickering in the corners of his eyes: "That's it... Mom, doctor, everyone... Your efforts will not be wasted..."

After a long time, with the precious legacy left by the Ohara scholars, the Beagle sailed away from Ohara Island.

Maybe in the future, someone will arrive at this island, which has never appeared on the map, but when they see the magnificent tombstone, they will know everything.

This is Ohara Island, the hometown of those who explore the past and pioneer the future.

…………

The entrance of the Grand Line, Twin Gorges.

This is the beginning of the Grand Line and the starting point of the seven routes. The towering lighthouse stands beside the coast, pointing out the direction for every newcomer to the Grand Line.

The weather is fine and the breeze is cool.

Two rows of sheets and clothing were hanging in front of the tower keeper's hut, and the wet clothing sheets fluttered in the wind.

The tower guard Crocus still had the signature petal head. He lay on the rocking chair by the door and shook it, flipping through the newspaper with relish, and there was a steaming tea cup on the small table next to it.

"Wow..."

The screams came from the sky, from far to near. Similar sounds Crocus heard more times during this period, and there was no extra reaction at all.

Boom——! !

A medium-sized pirate ship landed heavily on the sea next to the Twin Gorge, causing a lot of water.

A group of half-dead pirates were paralyzed on the deck of the pirate ship, who looked terrified. No wonder, taking the Pirate Boat from an altitude of 30 meters, this is not a thrilling experience that can be enjoyed every day.

A middle-aged man who appeared to be a captain tremblingly stood up on the deck fence and shouted: "The captain quickly count the number of people! I saw someone fell into the sea, hurry up and save them!"

Under the command of the captain, the crew began to get busy with their still weak bodies. The companions who fell into the sea were rescued one after another, but for a while, the ship would not be able to drive away.

I don’t know who made the suggestion. The pirate ship headed towards the tower keeper’s hut in Twin Gorges and anchored on the coast. A group of more than 20 pirates headed towards the tower keeper under the leadership of the captain. Coming in the direction of the hut.

"Good afternoon, old sir."

The lead captain took off the captain's cap and waved it at Crocus lying on the rocking chair.

Crocus put down the newspaper in his hand and looked up at the captain. He is about 2 meters tall and has short chestnut hair messed up on the square head. His eyes are a bit small and his beard is cleanly shaved. He doesn't look like the vicious traditional pirates.

"If you want to borrow the kitchen and bathroom, you can do it yourself, but if you want to use the material reserves inside, you need to exchange other living materials on your ship."

Crocus erected the newspaper again and said lazily, "By the way, there is no money in the house."

The captain was taken aback for a moment, and then laughed: "It's great, I can take a hot bath! Elephant, go and prepare everyone's washing utensils. Dong, go and get 40 cans and ten bacons on the boat. We have to give bath tickets for the bathhouse, right, guys?"

"Hi!" everyone echoed happily.

Crocus, who was holding the newspaper, smiled and shook his head slightly. What a bunch of young and energetic boys.

In the evening, the pirates set up a bonfire on the shore, held a simple banquet to celebrate their safe arrival at the Grand Line, and kindly invited Crocus to join the banquet.

"So, Mr. Crocus, you have been guarding these two lighthouses for so many years?"

At the banquet, the captain of the Cube Pirate Group, Cube Bullock, holding a wooden cup full of cheap rum, yelled drunkly, "Ah...hiccup! If it's me, if it's me... …"

"If it's the captain, I'm afraid I won't be able to stay for a week, hahaha!" The crew roared loudly, taking their own captain to start a fun.

Bullock didn't mind, but he laughed and drank his glass aloft: "That's right! "Cube" Bullock, the newcomer pirate who is offering a bounty of 24 million Berry, is most afraid of loneliness! "

"Brother Bullock, are you a rookie pirate?" Crocus raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Why don't you come back to Grand Line with a firm foothold in your hometown?"

Bullock poured another full glass of rum on his own. Unexpectedly, his hand flicked and overflowed a little. He hurriedly moved his mouth to the mouth of the cup and took a big gulp, wiped his mouth and replied: " Old gentleman, you don’t know. We are pirates from South Blue. South Blue is really not suitable for pirates to debut during this time."

"Yes, yes!" a crew member echoed: "Since the [Fairstar] came to South Blue, the whole South Blue has become a mess!"

Another crew member touched the bushy beard on his chin: "The [Hunters Association] that guy did was a stir. I never knew there were so many bounty hunters in South Blue! These guys did it overnight. With the backbone, the pirates began to be arrested in an organized and large-scale manner. Even Fens, the big pirate who offered a bounty of 90 million Berry, was completely planted."

"The pirates of South Blue are... bitter now!" Brock wiped the corners of his eyes, then raised his head to pour out the wine in the glass.

Crocus nodded thoughtfully and took a sip of rum. The taste is very bad, but what good wine and bad wine has he never drunk in his life? What I drink now is an atmosphere.

After Brock was drunk, he completely opened the chatterbox, and the chat with Crocus turned into a grievance meeting for the Cube Pirates.

"That [South China Sea Battle] is said to have dyed the entire Geqiu Island waters red, and there were countless casualties!"

"'Chain of Fierce' Victor single-handedly faced the King of Snakes, Barrels, and Crescent Hunters. The Great Geqiu Island was shattered to pieces, and the entire island was wiped off the map."

"South Blue is now the world of bounty hunters. There are hordes of bounty hunters catching pirates everywhere. We still worked hard to get past the entrance of South Blue's upside-down mountain. I would rather let Marine catch them. Us!"

"Marine? Don't be kidding! The captain just stopped the nobleman from invading the civilian girl when he was serving as a merchant ship escort. He beat that pig's head into a real pig's head, and then he was wanted by the meddling Marine offering a reward! No reason!"

"Go, go to the cool Marine!"

"Hi! The captain is right, hahaha!"

"Go, go, go to Victor, the vicious chain of special cool!"

"Hi Yo!"

"Go to this ghost world in Teliang!!!"

"Hi——Yo——!!!"

Seeing Bullock and his crew holding their glasses, laughing and yelling drunkly, Crocus silently took a sip of rum.

The night breeze is slightly cool.
