It was getting late.

In the tavern, as dusk fell, the number of drinkers gradually increased.

The drinkers gulped down the ice-cold wine, bragging, and talking about the interesting things they knew, and there would be bursts of laughter.

"Hahaha~"

And the proprietress of the tavern, Afra, was busy in this noisy and pleasant environment.

Because of insufficient manpower.

The two children, Lily and Wright, also independently shared the work for their mother, the tavern proprietress Aphra.

"Jinglingling~"

It was also at this time that the wooden door of the tavern was pushed open, and the doorbell on the wooden door made a crisp and pleasant sound.

A black-haired, burly man with a long silver knife hung on his waist walked in from the door.

However, the drinkers in the tavern didn't care.

In other words, he didn't care about entering the tavern.

Because at this point of time, it is normal for someone to come to drink, and they have long been accustomed to the sound of the doorbell.

Similarly, the man who entered the tavern didn't pay attention to the drinkers around him who were drinking and talking and laughing.

With unhurried steps, he slowly came to the bar counter.

Aphra, who just got the drinks needed by the last drinker, also habitually asked the man who had just entered the tavern with a smile on her face.

"Would you like something to drink?"

The man sat down in front of the counter and spoke in a calm voice.

"Same old style, drink with ice."

Hearing this familiar voice and words, Aphra's expression froze slightly, and subconsciously raised her head to look at the man in front of her.

When she saw the appearance of the person coming, she seemed a little frightened, covering her lips in astonishment.

"you you?!"

And this person is Kearns who has changed from old age to youth.

Seeing Aphra's stunned look, Kearns smiled.

"I'm here to say goodbye this time."

Aphra's expression is subtle.

After recovering, she slowly lowered the hand covering her lips and smiled.

"Is that so, have you recovered from your injury?"

"Yes, over the years, thanks to your care." Kearns nodded, not hiding anything.

"Kearns..." Aphra wanted to say something, but just as she said it, she paused, as if hesitating.

"What's wrong?" Kearns wondered.

Aphra smiled and shook her head, apologizing.

"No, it's nothing! It's just the way you look now, Uncle Kearns. It always feels a little weird to call you uncle."

Kearns didn't care either, and continued, "Just call me Kearns, I don't mind."

"It's amazing, you look younger than me now." Aphra chuckled and began to fiddle with the drinks Kearns needed.

"Where are you going?" Aphra asked.

Kearns: "Going to sea, to settle the many grievances that could not be resolved back then."

Aphra: "Leave tonight?"

"Let's go tonight!" Kearns nodded.

It was also at the moment when Kearns' voice fell.

The door of the tavern was suddenly pushed open violently.

"boom!"

This untimely loud sound immediately attracted the attention of many drinkers in the tavern.

By coincidence, everyone in the tavern stopped talking, stopped moving, and all looked towards the door of the tavern.

At this moment, the entrance of the tavern.

A middle-aged man was sweating profusely, looked around the tavern panting, and said in a trembling voice.

"No...it's not good! Things are not good, pirates...I saw the pirate ship, they are docking!!"

As soon as this news came out, there was an uproar in the tavern.

"What?!"

"Pirates!"

"Hey, hey, Hans! Are you serious? The pirates are here?!"

"Damn it, will the peace of this island be broken by those damned, vicious pirates again?!"

While speaking, many drinkers in the tavern stood up one after another.

After hearing the news that the pirate ship was calling at the port, they could no longer drink safely in the tavern.

You have to go home immediately and hide with your family!

Otherwise, if you encounter those pirates, you will definitely be killed!

The drinkers began to run out of the tavern in one go.

In front of the counter, after hearing the arrival of pirates, Aphra's expression also changed, and she subconsciously looked at Kearns in front of her.

Before she could speak.

Kearns took the lead and said, "Don't worry, I think the pirate ship that docked should be my crew."

"Even if it's not, there's no need to worry."

"With me."

Watching Kearns look so composed.

Listen to his confident words.

The panicked expression on Aphra's face eased slightly, and a smile appeared again

"You still want to be as reliable as before, whether you are facing the pirates this time, or the group of pirates back then..."

Also at this time, Lily and Wright also ran over.

Arriving at Afra's side, she called out worriedly, "Mom!"

Aphra turned her head, looked at her two children dotingly, and comforted softly: "It's fine, don't worry."

——

the other side.

In the port of the town, on a pirate ship that just docked.

More than twenty sailors with long knives hanging from their waists, led by a tall man wearing a red and white striped suit, wearing round-frame glasses, a pair of pointed ears, and a tail, slowly came to the bow .

And he is the special crew recruited by Kearns.

Demiurge!

Glancing at the small town below, Demiurge said with a stern face and a cold voice.

"Let's go."

"Don't let our captain wait too long."

"Yes!" More than twenty crew members said in unison.
