Pirate Throne of Salt

"It's so boring! Barsad, I want to eat strawberry jam..."

On the small Helios, Matthew leaned listlessly against the side of the ship. At this time, they had left Airut Island for two weeks. During the boring voyage, they didn't see even a hair.

"Captain, where can I find strawberries for you? There are only a few oranges left in the warehouse now..." Barsad looked helpless. Although he had money, on the vast sea, no matter how rich he was, he still couldn't buy it. No fresh fruit unless you go to a populated town.

"By the way, Mr. Simon, lend me your fishing rod, otherwise we will be hungry again today..."

Simon was holding the rudder with one hand and flipping through a thick book with the other hand. Hearing Barsad's voice, Simon replied lazily: "It should be in the storage room. Just come in when you come in." I can find it..."

"okay!"

……

On the observation deck, Shi Sheng was swinging a [-]-kilogram barbell continuously. This was one of the training items he must do every day. As a swordsman, he must have strong arm strength to ensure that he can draw the sword. At the same time, achieve stable and precise results!

"One hundred and one!"

"one hundred and two!"

……

"190 Seven!"

"190 eight!"

"190 nine!"

"two……"

"Blood!"

"Blood!"

……

Just when Shisheng was about to complete the training task, a rapid phone ringing sounded, interrupting his training.

"Ahhhhhh, who is it? Why are you calling me suddenly..."

Shisheng impatiently picked up the yellow phone bug on the table, and then the yellow phone bug began to slowly transform into the image of a big cat.

"Hello, hello? Is this Mr. Matthew?"

Cat Viper boss?Well, why are you calling now? Shisheng seemed to be very anxious and spoke immediately before he could think too much.

"Boss Cat Viper, I am Shuangyue Shisheng, what can I do?"

The cat Viper opposite him paused for a moment, then spoke.

"Shi Sheng, there's something I need to trouble Matthew with you... It's quite urgent. Can you ask Matthew to answer the phone?"

"Oh, yes, yes."

Shi Sheng pushed open the door behind him, stood on the observation deck, and shouted to Matthew on the deck: "Hey, Matthew, Viper's phone number, I'm calling you if there's something urgent."

"Oh, throw it down!"

"Snapped!"

Matthew steadily caught the falling phone bug.

"Hey, Boss Cat, what's the matter?"

"That's right Matthew, I have some bad news to tell you...you have to be prepared..."

Listening to Cat Viper's serious voice, Matthew suddenly had a bad feeling.

"I'm sorry to tell you now, Hiyori-sama disappeared three days ago!"

"?????What!!!!"

"We found Hiyori-sama's message. She said she went to the sea to find you...so..."

Wait, that guy Hiyori, come to see me? ? ? ?Matthew thought of the agreement he made with that little girl many years ago, etc. Let me take a moment.

"She, she, she, how dare you!!!"

"A girl ran to the sea alone???"

"Is it that easy for Zou to go down????"

"Inarashi, what do you two do for food???"

"Why are you telling me now!!!"

At this time, Matthew seemed a little excited and began to speak incoherently.

Simon who was at the helm, Barsad who was fishing, and Shisheng who was exercising all stopped what they were doing and looked at Matthew. They had never seen their captain so gloomy, including when he was with Matthew. I haven't seen Shi Sheng for the longest time.

"Matthew, calm down..."

Viper, the cat on the other side of the phone, also felt Matthew's mood swings and tried to make Matthew calm down first.

"calm down!"

"Oh!"

Matthew punched the sky, directly shaking away the clouds in the sky.

"How the hell do you want me to calm down!!!"

"Cat Viper, do you understand what the sea is? You understand, right? I don't need to tell you how big the sea is, don't you? I don't need to tell you how cruel the sea is, right?"

"Then you, you fucking tell me, what terrible consequences will happen if a girl goes to the sea alone!!!"

"Three days, it's been three days before you told me, Neko Viper, let me tell you, if anything happens to Hiyori, Inuarashi and you two will be fully responsible, do you understand!"

On the other end of the phone, Neko Viper and Inuarashi shrugged their heads, their faces full of remorse.

"We understand, Sir Matthew, we have used all our strength to find Hiyori-sama..."

"Okay, okay, I don't have time to listen to this..."

"Snapped!"

Matthew forcibly hung up the phone bug and threw it aside.

Simon patted Matthew on the shoulder: "Captain, calm down first. No matter what it is, I will do my best to help you."

Barsad also nodded: "Although I don't know who Hiyori is, Captain, as long as you have a plan, I will be the first to respond!"

Shi Sheng came down from the observation deck and took out a pink phone bug in his hand.

"Let's contact Doflamingo first. In terms of intelligence, this guy should be better informed than us."

Putting the phone bug in Matthew's hand, Shi Sheng comforted him:

"Don't worry, Matthew, you have to believe in Hiyori, that girl won't be that fragile."

Matthew nodded. Of course he knew what kind of person Hiyori was, but he was still worried. After spending so many years on the sea, Matthew certainly knew what the sea was like, a girl with no strength. , he didn't dare to think about the consequences of floating alone on this sea.

"It's all my fault. If I had picked her up earlier, maybe this situation wouldn't have happened..."

Matthew, who slowly calmed down, felt a little guilty. Maybe Hiyori Kozuki was no longer the little girl she was back then, but he still regarded her as a little girl with traditional thinking. If something happened to Hiyori this time, , Matthew couldn’t imagine the consequences...

If you ask Matthew how he feels about Hiyori, he can't tell clearly. At first, he might just see her as a little sister, but after the incident with Zou, especially the traces left by their blood After it was formed, there seemed to be an invisible thread connecting the two... If you really want to ask what this feels like, maybe it is the thread of fate?

"Hello, Dover, I'm Matthew..."

"Assemble all your intelligence forces and find me someone!"

"Don't worry about funds. Barbarossa Company will bear all financial issues. You just need to use all your intelligence power in the world to help me find this person in the shortest time!"
