Age of Pirates

It didn't take long before word spread throughout the town that Doon's gang of thugs and Kog'Maw were finished.

When Douglas led Uncle Modo and his group to buy real estate in a good area of ​​the town, the power of the town was reshuffled.

Ignoring those troublesome matters, after Dougla took care of Uncle Modo's affairs, he took Bailey, whom he had obtained from Kog'Maw, to the fishing captain in the town, preparing to buy a fishing boat for Uncle Modo and the others. .

At night, the sound of the town's revelry spread throughout the island, and Douglas was also pulled along. Once the cancer was eliminated, the town seemed to have been reborn.

"Boy, have you seen those girls? Tonight might be a wonderful night."

Uncle Cole laughed out loud, and Dougla turned his head to look. When he saw a girl secretly glancing at Meow from time to time, he shrugged.

"Not interested at the moment.", replied, and Dougla continued to eat and drink. He was destined to leave, so it was better not to leave behind any romantic debts.

After receiving this answer, Uncle Cole laughed loudly and said: "That's right, your boy may be a famous figure in the sea in the future, and Lotus Leaf Island can't trap you yet."

Dougla shook his head and laughed at this statement. Everyone wants to have beautiful things, but he would not go around to create romantic debts.

Maybe one day in the future, he will come back here, but by that time, he must have a new understanding of life.

Half a month passed unknowingly, and order in the town was restored, and respected people selected by the people led them to continue their lives.

On this day, the merchant ship arrived, and Lianye Island became very lively.

"Boy, you're leaving, right?"

Uncle Modo looked at Dougla coming back and said something. Dougla nodded slightly and said, "If I don't die at sea, maybe I will come back one day in the future."

After the words fell, the people sitting there were silent. Because of Douglas, their lives had changed dramatically.

Not only do they own real estate, but they also own a fishing boat. These things are the prerequisites to ensure that they have enough food and clothing in the future.

"Boy, be careful, don't die."

Uncle Cole spoke up and said with a smile: "Those of us, wait for the day when you become famous in the sea. Then, Lotus Leaf Island will also become famous in the sea because of you."

"Then have a farewell meal and treat it as a blessing for me." Douglas laughed and Modo and the others laughed immediately after hearing this.

That night, everyone ate and drank as much as they wanted. Regardless of whether they would see each other again in the future, having the present was the best day.

The next day, the merchant ship left, and Dougla also boarded the ship. Modo and the others watched the merchant ship slowly disappear, and silently prayed for Dougla in their hearts.

"Go back. I believe we will hear news about him in the future. That boy is definitely not a simple guy."

Uncle Cole said something, and several people nodded and returned together.

At this time, on the merchant ship, Doug paid Bailey, so he got a more comfortable room.

In the room, Dougla spent a sum of money to get many types of newspapers, and then slowly started reading them.

Illiterate, he learned a lot during the winter with the help of his soul-fusion memory. Now he can read this newspaper with a lot of effort.

The merchant ship continued to go to the next island. They had a fixed trading route, and Douglas spent Bailey on the merchant ship to teach him how to read and write.

When most of the Bailey he got from Kog'Maw was consumed, Dougla was able to read the newspaper fluently.

Of course, the most grateful thing is his memory.

"Mr. Douglas, you have a very leisurely day today."

Merchant Marine Steward Lake saw Douglas standing on the deck looking at the sea and said hello.

Lake wanted to win over this young man, Douglas, because he saw the birth of a genius in these 20 days.

"Manager Rick, how long do we have to reach the next island?"

Dougla turned back and smiled, and asked by the way. In 20 days, they had passed three islands, and the next island was the end of the merchant ship.

"In three days, we will reach Leiden Country."

As Lake said this, he was about to open his mouth to win over again, but when he saw Dougla's expression, he swallowed his words again.

The two said a few words, and then Lake left. Dougla looked at his back, shook his head and laughed.

Most of his Baileys fell into this man's pocket. Of course, Douglas was more grateful.

As a businessman, although Lake talks about interests, at least he doesn't make any mockery.

Once he got the money, he worked hard, and he did a good job with what Dougla asked of him.

Looking at the sea, Douglas looked forward to it. It is now the year 1512 of the Ocean Calendar, and 14 years have passed since the era of great pirates created by Roger the Pirate King.

There were very few reports about the New World in newspapers, but Douglas knew that at this time, there were already several emperors in the New World.

At this time, the area where Douglas was located was the South China Sea among the four seas. Compared with the first half of the Great Line and the New World, the environment in the four seas was much calmer.

Compared to the East China Sea, which has a strong man like Garp, the South China Sea is not far behind. The current Navy Admiral Aoki Pheasant seems to have been born in the South China Sea.

Oh, by the way, there is Ace. He seems to have been born in the South China Sea, but was later taken to the East China Sea by Garp.

As for the future, there will be rising pirate stars like Kid and Kira in the South China Sea. It can be said that there are also many strong people coming out of the South China Sea.

Douglas didn't want to be a pirate or a navy. He wanted to walk around first and then make a decision.

Maybe when interest comes, he will start a new life.

Three days later, the merchant ship arrived at Leiden, the destination. After getting off the ship, Douglas thanked Lake and left the port.

Looking at this port, which was much more prosperous than Lotus Leaf Island, Douglas smiled slightly and walked into the town.

After finding a place to live and settling down, Douglas asked the school here. He needed a knowledgeable professor to help him unlock the secret of the parchment in the box given to him by Uncle Cole.

Using money to clear the way, it didn't take long for Dougla to get useful information. After a day's rest, he headed for the capital of Leiden.

"It's such a rich country." Dougla looked at the relatively free environment and finally saw a trace of the environment in his previous life.

A few days later, Douglas came to the capital, first looked for a place to live, and then prepared to visit the professors at the school here in the capital.

After several days of preparation, and after almost spending all the Baileys in his hands, Douglas finally got the opportunity to meet Professor Carew at the school.

Professor Carew was an old man with gray hair. When Douglas asked him for advice on a passage of text on the parchment he had copied, Professor Carew became very interested when he saw the text.
