Raise your glass and ignite the world of One Piece

"Do you have news about the Lumba Pirates?!"

Kurokas was startled, and then suddenly realized:

"Yes, you were originally a lieutenant general of the Navy Headquarters, but I was...

"Well, I've also asked around, but I couldn't find any trace of them."

When Wayne revealed his identity, he avoided Robin.

Therefore, Kurokas was not conscious enough to reveal his identity.

"It's just some clues and has not been confirmed."

Wayne lit the firewood, but no matter what, the things baked in the alcohol stove just didn’t smell like wood:

"When I was on a mission, I came close to a place called the 'Devil's Triangle'——

"Does Mr. Koulokas know anything about that place?"

"The Devil's Triangle?"

Kurokas was holding a bunch of seasonings and was carefully applying it to the king squid with a brush. After hearing this, he thought about it and showed a clear look:

"You mean, the place where Moonlight Moria of the 'Shichibukai' hides?"

"Well, that's where it is. Countless shipwrecks occur every year, and it's unclear whether it was Moriah's handiwork or not."

Wayne looked up and noticed a huge shadow——

Rab suddenly heard their conversation and came closer at some point.

Its IQ is very high, and its huge eyes are staring at Wayne with hope.

"Haha... Hello, we are also from the same hometown."

Wayne waved his hand to Rab, and Robin on the side couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

That's right, except for Kurokas, Robin, Wayne and Rab are all from the West Sea.

[It’s really amazing, this feeling... I haven’t had it for a long time. 】

Although she has not completely relaxed yet, even this level of relaxation is something she has not experienced in more than ten years.

"Oh oh oh oh..."

Rab's chirping sounded, and Wayne's sense of sight clearly perceived his desire to know information about the Lombard Pirates.

"Well, I once saw an old pirate ship in that sea area."

Wayne nodded to Rab:

"Although it was just a glimpse, it disappeared into the thick fog again...

“But I made a note of its flag, and when I went back and compared it, I found that it was indeed the flag of the Lombard Pirates.

"It has disappeared for more than 40 years. It is indeed their pirate ship."

"Oh……"

Rab groaned in disappointment.

"In other words, they have been trapped in the fog of the Devil's Triangle for more than 40 years?"

Kurokas sighed and put the brush back into the spice jar:

"No wonder there is no news about them anywhere... But after so many years, it is still impossible for them to survive."

"Not always."

Wayne's words made Rab's huge eyes suddenly light up again.

"Because when we saw that ship... there was a skeleton with an afro on the side of the ship, holding a cup of tea and saying hello to us!"

"!!"

Both Kurokas and Rab were confused.

WTF?

Skeleton frame?Nonsense, anyone has become a skeleton after more than 40 years.

But, holding tea? !

"Top hat, afro, black dress, blue scarf, likes black tea, and has a unique laugh of 'yo ho ho'..."

Every time Wayne mentioned a characteristic, Rab's eyes widened:

"This feature should be obvious. Do you still remember which member of the Lumba Pirates he is?"

"...'Brooke' Brooke!"

Kurokas took off his glasses, pinched his eyebrows and chuckled, tears pouring down:

“I can still say hello to you when I become a skeleton... I see, that’s it!

"That underworld fruit that is said to be 'completely ineffective' actually has this effect!"

As the ship's doctor of the Pirate King, Kurokas has extensive knowledge.

As Brooke, the famous member of the Rumba Pirates who ate the "Devil Fruit with no effect", he was also very impressed.

"In other words, he is still 'alive' and the Lumba Pirates have not been destroyed yet!"

Kurokas’s red and swollen eyes shocked Wayne greatly:

"Old man, you only met them once, but your relationship is really deep!"

"Idiot! I didn't wash my hands just now, because the chili pepper burned my eyes!"

"..."

“Oh oh oh oh—!!”

Everyone can hear the excitement in Rab's chirping.

"Uh, okay."

Kurokas hurriedly went to wash his face, and Wayne's eyes twitched at the corner of his mouth and turned to Rab:

"You guy, now that you know the news, stop hurting yourself——

“I used to be in the navy, and if I pointed out his identity, I would catch him.

"Now what I do depends on my mood. If I have a chance, I will find that guy and tell him about you."

"Ooh-poof!"

Rab nodded obediently, and then sprayed out a jet of water.

"Whoa-"

"Wow!"

Wayne took Robin and escaped.

Kurokas, who had just come out from washing his face, was doused with sea water.

"You guys, are you so excited?"

Kurokas reluctantly went back to change clothes.

"Fortunately, the barbecue is fine... Hey, boy Wayne, I haven't asked you yet, what are you going to do now?"

Rab happily went to look for food, and the three of them sat around the fire.

Kurokas turned the giant squid on a stick with one hand, and drank the beer with the other hand.

Now that Wayne had exposed his old foundation, he no longer acted in a pretentious manner:

"Are you going to find 'OnePiece' too?"

"No, at least not for a while."

Wayne shrugged, picked up the beer and took a sip.

Now, due to the in-depth development of his abilities and the fact that he keeps hangover medicine with him, he is no longer so embarrassed that he cannot drink at all.

At least it's getting closer to a normal person's drinking capacity.

"As you know, I am a businessman now, so my small goal is to do business all over the world first."

Kurokas looked at Wayne with a serious look on his face, dumbfounded:

"You're not kidding!

"You went to great lengths to kill the Celestial Dragons and came out just to do business?

"If that's the case, wouldn't it be better if you just resign?"

"No, no, no, I only thought of doing business when I was on the run, and I also met some interesting people...

"Well, so until I have the ability to protect myself, I'll probably keep a low profile."

"..."

Kurokas shook his head helplessly:

"Old man, I don't know what you young people think, but since you have thought about it yourself, just do it——

"Oh, you can eat it."

The aroma was fragrant. Kurokas cut off the meat of the giant squid with his knife and put it on the plate:

"Taste my craft!"

"Mmm... delicious!"

Wayne was full of praise for Kurokas's craftsmanship, and even the quiet Robin couldn't help showing an amazed expression.

"Your wine is also top quality, really good!"

Kurokas drank another glass of ale and praised again and again:

"I really miss those days when we drank together and those people!"

Wayne raised his eyebrows. The ale that Kurokas drank was not a special effect wine.

If it were "Remembrance·Ale", the old man would probably be stuck in memories now.

"If the old man likes it, I can keep a little more, as long as you have enough barrels."

"Ok?"

Kurokas was stunned when he saw a large ball of golden, fragrant wine appearing in front of Wayne.

"Those who can?!"

He patted his head and smiled bitterly:

"I see, no wonder your business is so big!"

Robin on the side was also shocked - although she had also seen some people with abilities.

But since she was a child, she has been called a "monster" because of her abilities.

During her investigation, former Lieutenant General Wayne seemed to specialize in physical arts.

But now he has become a capable person...

[Is it because of this that he escaped from Qing Pheasant?Or did he eat the devil fruit after this? 】

But in any case, her affinity for Wayne's "similar people" has deepened.

"Old man, I have quite a few empty barrels here. Now that you've encountered them, fill them all up!"

Kurokas waved his hand, obviously not letting go of the bargain that came to his door:

“It saves me having to go to Jerez to buy it!”

"Jeres?"

Wayne was chewing squid meat.

"Well, originally it was just an accident that I came here, but now it seems like it would be a good idea to go there and have a look!"

Jerez, one of the seven islands at the starting point of the Great Line.

Famous for making Zefa's favorite top-quality sherry "Jerez"!
