Pirate's Freedom

On the rocky walls of the Red Earth Continent, the [Dragon Auction Incident] was triggered, and the worst kidnapping group in history is currently hiding in a secret base.

In the newly expanded cave, the carved corridors are brightly lit, the third stone room from the left, and above the simple doorway——

A wooden door plate with a nine-snake pattern and a simple drawing style was pressed directly into the stone wall.

When Hancock opened his eyes, he immediately saw the worried eyes of his two sisters and the tooth-itching sound.

"The test is over, Hancock."

Turning his head sideways, Tata Tot had a nail in his mouth, cutting the wooden board of the door with his aggressive armament.

"What, is that a test?"

Hancock sat up from the bed with a relaxed expression.

"How did it turn out? Erwin."

"I have found the best way for you to become stronger."

It is very rare that the cute voice of the doll has a hint of sadness.

"It's surprisingly simple, Hancock. I just discovered that the road to [the strongest] is so simple."

"..."

Hancock, who was holding his arms, had an expressionless face. Tata Tot, who had his back to her, raised a paw and his tone became serious.

"The morning is teaching time. As long as it is related to becoming stronger, I will teach you everything in one go."

"The afternoon is the time for actual combat. Based on your current level, strength, speed, and skills, I will measure everything accurately. Each day will be about ten percent better than the previous day."

Bang!Bang!Bang!

Nail after nail was driven into the board by Tata Tot, and the handles on both sides were nailed on.

"You have to use everything you get from me and try your best to survive the battle."

"Until the day you can't hold it any longer, it's all over, and I won't teach you anything anymore."

The upper and lower hinges are firmly fixed, and the wooden board and the door frame fit together tightly.

"Of course, if I think more optimistically, I might be the first to be unable to hold on."

After moving a few steps back and admiring his work, Tata Tot turned his head.

"How's it going? Hancock, do you have the confidence to keep up? Do you want to join this [Strongest Crash Course]?"

"certainly--"

"sister……!!"

Sonia and Mary's words stopped abruptly, and Hancock's face showed a bright smile that he had never seen before.

"I can not wait any more."

……

"...the largest auction house has disappeared permanently from the map. The [market price] of slaves of all races has nearly doubled. Silver medal players have made high-profile appearances one after another, and even announced that they will jointly hold a new and larger human auction. meeting."

In a spacious stone room that functions like an activity room, Langdon, who is dressed as a gentleman and looks like an aristocratic businessman, talks loudly about the current situation of the Shampoo Islands.

"The slogan is——"

"Promote the prosperity and development of the Chambord Islands and create a cultural business card of the Chambord Islands."

"..."

"breathe--"

"Sebastian, do you think something is a little strange?"

On the brown-striped [L]-shaped yellow cloth-covered sofa, Langdon stretched his body backwards in relaxation.

“I went around the [illegal zone] and walked around the streets and alleys there. The sense of violation can make people’s skin crawl.”

"In the current Shampoo Islands, in Mr. Irwin's words, the CP index has exploded."

"..."

"breath-breath-"

"By the way, in the paradise, the voices of the [Era of Evil] were getting louder and louder, but now they have all been robbed of the limelight."

"Four hundred and thirty million Pele, Sebastian, you are now an out-and-out big star."

"Suck-breath-breath-"

The long breathing stopped for a moment, and a depressed voice sounded from the corner of the stone room.

"... Langdon, I'm glad that you can be so warm to me, and I appreciate your eloquence, but can you-"

"Puff-breath-breath-"

Sebastian, who sat cross-legged on the ground and meditated for a long time, had a faint fire in his eyes.

"Be quiet for a while, just for a moment."

"That's not possible, Sebastian, this is my most important task now."

Langdon adjusted the silver-rimmed glasses on his face, and there was an irrepressible lightness in his pretendedly serious voice.

"Remember, you must get rid of distracting thoughts, ignore the distractions from the outside world, and focus on your breathing."

……

"You know? Sebastian, I love art, literature, music and drama. I appreciate all things that are beautiful and profound..."

"Landon, the teacher teaches you to go over now."

Dorian suddenly walked in with a big bulge on his forehead.

"You came back early today, Dorian."

Still unfinished, Langdon got up from the sofa regretfully.

"Is there anything unusual?"

"The girl that Korra likes very much."

Picking up the kettle on the left side of the coffee table, Dorian poured it down his throat.

Gudong!Gudong!

"The teacher tested her very carefully."

"Really? How does she make you feel?"

Langdon walked to the door and turned slightly.

Gudong!Gudong!

"Just like the young Neptune species, it has a future that is so vast that it is difficult to predict."

"..."

When Langdon finally disappeared, Sebastian's straight back slumped and he complained to Dorian who put down the kettle.

"Phew - Dorian, I really can't stand it -"

"You said there are only two things a man can't do."

Dorian sat down cross-legged in front of Sebastian.

"I happen to have time now, please tell me."

……

In Kella's room, Langdon walked in after knocking on the door. Only Tata Tot, a doll, stayed here.

After learning about Hancock's return, Kerra had already run out to play with her.

Snapped!

Langdon slapped a pistol on the table, and Tata Tot, who was also sitting on the table, rubbed his round chin.

"...Is it spearmanship? It's probably the field I've dabbled least in. I can only give you some advice on the Haki of knowledge and weaponry."

"That's enough, Mr. Erwin."

Despite his painful life as a slave, Langdon surprisingly did not have a great desire for power.

"I'm just doing it out of interest, so I don't want to hold anyone back."

"Don't belittle yourself. You haven't touched a gun for a long time, and you can still accurately hit a moving target. Your gun skills are very good, um——"

Thinking of something, Tata Tot raised his head and looked at Langdon carefully.

"What's wrong? Mr. Erwin."

Langdon adjusted his tie.

"I have a bold idea, but I need to think about it more seriously."

……

A children-only activity room with slides, swings, and a seesaw, and colorfully painted walls.

Kella ran back to the room and brought Tata Tot here who had finished the conversation.

The specific reason is that the three Boya sisters played house with Kerla. They already have grandparents and parents, but they still lack a baby.

Tata Toth had serious suspicions of retaliation, but he had no proof.
