Ultimate Blade Shadow in One Piece Navy
Chapter 458: Are naval heroes capable?
There was a moment of silence in the cafe, but most people were frightened by Luffy's sudden extension of his arm. After all, Devil Fruit users are not that common.
Especially for a peaceful place like Saint Bobla, which is a rare place in the great waterway, pirates rarely come there, and among the pirates, not every pirate group has a devil fruit ability user.
Therefore, it is normal for them to be shocked. After all, in this kind of town, Devil Fruit users are like urban legends. Everyone says they exist, but no one has ever seen them.
However, Garp and Skyler subconsciously looked at Robin. Almost at the same time, both of them narrowed their eyes and carefully identified Robin.
After escaping from Olaha, Robin felt for the first time that death was so close to him. In the past, even if those pirates, mafia, and bounty hunters put knives or guns on him, they would never feel this way. Feel.
But Cap and Skyler did it with just one look.
'It's simply not a level of life! '
Robin suddenly had this feeling. If those who threatened his life with knives and guns in the past were people of the same kind as him, then Skyler and Garp at this time were like...gods!
Just being watched, there was a feeling that her life was in their hands. It wasn't that Robin didn't want to escape, but she knew that in front of these two people, running away... would only make her death worse. shameful.
Suddenly, Robin remembered the Vice Admiral who saved his life more than ten years ago. At that time, he had no power, so he didn't have this feeling of powerlessness, right?
She even blamed the boy who ate her cake and even pulled off part of her disguise. After all, she didn't find things like Devil Fruit magical.
Because she is also one of the devil fruit users.
"Da~"
Skyler suddenly stood up, Robin subconsciously took a half step back, and Garp instantly put his hand on Skyler's left hand that was still on the table.
Robin didn't understand why Garp did this, because Skyler's appearance clearly recognized him. As a marine, what he needs to do when he sees the remnants of O'Hara is...capture or Behead!
Garp seemed to have no reason to stop Skyler. Skyler turned to look at Garp. Garp put away his expression at this time, looked at Skyler calmly, and then shook his head.
Skyler was silent for a second, and then nodded without any communication, but Garp retracted his hand, and Skyler stepped towards Robin.
Robin, who had just taken half a step back, now for some unknown reason, no longer dared to take a step back. Instead, he stood dumbly on the spot. The experience of escaping from death countless times in the past ten years was completely unavailable at this time. use. .
The existence of Skyler and Garp made her feel like she was back in her childhood when she had no power. Struggling and escaping should be completely meaningless at this time.
Skyler walked towards Robin, stopped when he passed by Luffy who was lying down, bent slightly, picked up Luffy, and took the cowboy hat from his hands that had rebounded.
I reached out and patted my cowboy hat. There was no smoke, but if something fell on the ground, it was polite to pick it up and wipe it, or pat it a few times before returning it to others.
Skyler continued to move closer to Robin. Robin felt that she could hear her own heartbeat at this time. After all, this might be the last sound of her life.
"Sorry, I got your hat dirty. If you don't mind, please wait a moment. Your cake was eaten by my nephew."
Skyler handed the cowboy hat to Robin, but Robin didn't reach out to take it. She didn't even understand what Skyler said and wrote right away.
She hung on every word Skylar said, but... her brain just couldn't process it.
"Ok?"
Skyler handed the cowboy hat forward and made a questioning sound. Only then did Robin react and quickly took his cowboy hat and said, "No need..."
"Definitely. Not just for the money you spend, but also for the education of your children."
Skyler's tone was not harsh, it was even so plain that there were not many fluctuations in his tone, but his determined tone was like reciting the truth, making it impossible to refute.
"Luffy, apologize and pay."
After talking to Robin, Skyler looked back at Luffy. After hearing Skyler's words, Luffy realized that he had made a mistake. He walked to the bar honestly and took out ten thousand beli. , said:
"Please give this sister a piece of cake."
The shop owner took the money and before he could change it, Luffy walked up to Robin with his head lowered, bowed deeply and said, "I'm sorry, if you're still angry, you can hit me!"
In contrast to Skyler's calmness, Luffy's tone was full of emotion. As soon as he said it, the people around him already felt his sincerity. Robin also waved his hands quickly and said: "It's just a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding..."
Her voice became quieter because she knew Skyler was watching her, even through her sunglasses, but as Robin, who had not lived a safe life for more than ten years, she was very sensitive to other people's gazes.
Although it had just been determined that Skyler and Garp should have recognized her identity, Robin did not feel at ease that the two did not take action.
After all... maybe Skyler and Cap aren't set yet?If there is no confirmation, taking action rashly would seem to damage the Navy's face. After all, the words and deeds of these two people can easily make the headlines of the World Economic News.
Robin kept praying at this time, praying that Skyler and Garp would just feel like Nico Robin instead of identifying themselves as Nico Robin.
After all, if it was the former, she should still have a chance to survive.
"Robin."
But just when Robin was praying, Skyler called out her name accurately. In an instant, all the blood in Nico Robin's body rushed toward the heart and the main organs of the trunk, and her hands and feet became cold.
The caramel-like skin actually looked a little... pale at this time.
Seeing Robin's appearance, Skyler showed a smile, the smile that appeared when the prank was successful, and said:
"Kuzan and I are not friends, but we do have some friendship. Which one of us has a deeper friendship."
Skyler's words did not relieve Robin's nervousness. After all, Skyler's seemingly comforting words showed her familiarity with the O'Hara incident.
So familiar that even Aokiji spared the little girl Robin.
Robin couldn't even figure out why Lieutenant General Kuzan chose to let him go at that time, let alone Skyler and Garp who were now separated by another level.
At this time, the shop owner packed up a piece of cake and placed it on the counter, but he did not dare to call Robin or Skyler. After all, Robin looked very scared now.
Skyler's aura is too strong. Although she does not actively release it at all, her identity is the best aura support for these civilians.
However, the store owner didn't say anything, and Skyler had already heard it. She turned around, picked up the box containing the cake from the counter, and handed it to Robin.
Robin immediately reached out to take it, but found that he was still holding the hat in his hand. After putting the hat on, he reached out again and took the cake box from Skyler.
"Sorry, Lieutenant General Skyler, I'm going to go ahead. I don't know what you just said. You may have the wrong person."
After Robin finished speaking, she finally turned around and left. After walking a few steps, she could no longer calm down and ran quickly. Skyler looked at Luffy, who was still lowering his head, waiting for Robin to hit him.
"duang~"
Just because Robin didn't fight, it didn't mean that Luffy's behavior today could be changed like this. Skyler punched him directly on the head. Considering that this was someone else's shop, Skyler didn't use too much force. It's a small punishment but a big warning.
Returning to the round table, Garp said with a smile: "Kuzan boy, although he behaves like a boring gourd all day long, he has his own ideas, and I don't want to ruin his choice casually."
As early as when Nicole Robin's bounty order came out, Garp had already understood. After all, with Kuzan's ability, even if his ability was still somewhat lacking at the time, dealing with O'Hara... couldn't be so negligent. .
How could a "scholar" with the ability to decipher ancient texts be accidentally let go?And that was not the only accident in the O'Hara incident.
So the conclusion is self-evident, that is, this Nico Robin was deliberately let go by Kuzan. Although he did not know his true thoughts, but... As a former commander, Garp did not mind respecting Kuzan's choice.
However, Skyler did not take any action after recognizing Robin's identity. This surprised Garp. After Skyler sat down, he smiled and said:
"I don't have much contact with General Aokiji, but... we are comrades in life and death after all."
Skyler said this with a clear conscience. After all, she had gone through life and death with Qing Pheasant. She had just become the commander of the detachment that year, and before her first voyage as commander, she met Red Earl Redfield.
In that encounter, Qingzhi saved her, and she also saved Qingzhi. It is not too much to say that he is a comrade in life and death.
After hearing what Skyler said, Karp smiled even more. He did not forget that incident, because that was the beginning of Kuzan's turn.
If it hadn't been for that incident, perhaps there wouldn't be the current general Aokiji. If the Red Earl didn't come that day, maybe Kuzan would have taken the ticket given to him by Garp and gone back to his hometown.
And for his daughter in front of him, that battle was also a huge turning point.
It was not only the first battle Skyler experienced as the commander of the detachment, that battle... was also the first time that the top leaders of the World Government noticed Skyler's existence.
The truth about Gu Yuzuo, who is still full of doubts, has not yet been revealed.
Garp would never forget these things, but he was happy to hear that Skyler also remembered them.
After all, many people will forget or even deny their past incompetent and helpless selves after they succeed, but... I am very happy that my daughter is not such a person.
At this time, the owner of the cafe finally sifted the coffee beans and ground them into powder. He brought the powder and other utensils, as well as Eniro and Luffy's double milk, and some food.
The small round table was immediately filled up, but just as the shop owner was about to offer to share a table for them, he discovered that the food on the table was disappearing.
The four of them seemed to be chewing something in their mouths, but... where were their hands?In less than ten seconds, the food on the table instantly returned to zero, and the hands of the four people reappeared.
"Guru~"
The shop owner swallowed his saliva and quickly said without Skyler's explanation: "I'll clear the plates for you, and the rest will be served soon."
"Thank you."
Skyler showed an elegant smile, whispered to the shop owner, and then placed the two hot water kettles on the small charcoal stove that was brought together, waiting to boil the water.
However, Luffy and Enel's two glasses of milk were already empty.
Enel's glass of milk was drunk by Luffy, and Luffy's glass of milk was drunk by Garp. Now Enel has a lawsuit on his head and is angry, but he doesn't know what he can say.
After all...he didn't pay for anything, and all he ate and drank was Luffy's money, so even if his glass of milk was snatched away by Luffy, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Although he now has 100 million Baileys, according to the consumption level of the "tour group" he is following, 100 million Baileys cannot last long.
You can't lose your godly attitude just for the sake of a moment's enthusiasm.
While Anilu was waiting for his new milk to be served, the two hot water bottles also made a sharp chirping sound. Skyler skillfully moved the two pots of water out of the charcoal stove.
For a swordsman who fought with two black knives all year round, it was easy to control two pots of hot water at the same time. She skillfully preheated the cups.
Then I put in coffee powder, two parts of coffee powder, but each part of coffee powder contains double the amount.
It's not that Skyler wants to drink more coffee, but it's a technique for making coffee that involves more ground coffee and less liquid.
In this way, the concentration of the coffee liquid will be very high. Finally, these high-concentration coffee liquids are mixed with water to make a cup of reasonably good coffee. This technique has a name, called "bypass".
To put it simply, use more than 1 part of coffee powder to brew less than 1 part of coffee liquid, and then mix it into 1 part of coffee.
It seems a bit wasteful, but it is a good way to deal with not-so-good quality coffee. After all, if you follow the conventional extraction, a lot of bad flavors will be extracted in the later stage.
Instead of drinking a whole cup of coffee, it is better to extract only the front part, which is a bit thin but has a decent taste.
Add powder, cloth, wait until the hot water reaches the appropriate temperature, add water and steam, wait for the carbon dioxide in the coffee powder to be released, then directly flow it with a knife to extract a small amount of coffee liquid.
Mix the water with water, then pour it from the sharing pot into the coffee cup. Two cups of coffee, one was handed to Garp who looked suspicious, and the other was placed in front of him.
Garp doesn't like drinking coffee. After all, he will easily get hungry after drinking it, and he doesn't think coffee is any good.
But he couldn't refuse Skyler, so he had to take a sip, and then he felt... as bitter as ever.
No, it’s sour and bitter!
Watching Garp drink the whole cup of coffee as if wearing a mask of pain, Skyler laughed. People who love coffee and people who don't drink coffee have very different feelings about the taste of coffee. of.
Just like people who love cilantro, cilantro is "fragrant", but people who hate cilantro regard it as a "stinky" dish. This is normal.
"tasty."
Although he was wearing a mask of pain, Garp still praised him, then picked up the kettle and said, "It's just too little, it doesn't quench my thirst at all!"
As he said that, he poured water into the colander, and Skyler didn't bother to stop him. Not to mention whether Garp knew what a gold cup was, he just said that the first cup just now was not in gold cup proportions.
So... it's nice to be free to drink whatever you like.
When the sharing pot was filled up, Karp poured himself a cup and took a sip.
Oh boy, this time the sourness is gone, it’s all bitter.
Seeing the mask of pain appearing on Garp's face again, Skyler laughed so hard. Sure enough, real happiness must be based on the pain of others.
At this time, the shop owner finally brought the second round of desserts and two glasses of milk.
Garp kept using his hands to stuff his mouth with high-sugar desserts that were not suitable for breakfast, but he still couldn't suppress the bitter taste, so he picked up Luffy's milk and drank it.
Luffy saw this and was about to stop him, but his mouth was also full of desserts. When he moved, he was immediately choked. He subconsciously picked up Enel's milk and drank it.
Enel: (σ-`д?′)
The surrounding customers looked at this table. They still couldn't believe that this was a gathering of two naval heroes and two unknown people. After all... this was not what they imagined.
Shouldn't a high-ranking being like a Vice Admiral always have a rigid face, a deep frown on his face, and eyes full of wisdom and a sense of storytelling that has seen the vicissitudes of life?
These two crazy people are definitely Vice Admirals?Are you sure you are a naval hero?
But they were just shocked and confused, but the store owner was different, he was still in pain.
As the owner of a cafe, this should be a very easy job, especially with two helpers. Moreover, the slow rhythm should be the main theme of the cafe, right?
The store owner never thought that one day he would be more tired from work than when he was young. If he had known that being a boss would be so tiring, why would he have to resign and go it alone? !
Even though it was high-sugar food, it took a group of four people more than two hours to eat it before they felt that breakfast was over. It wasn't that they were too good at eating... Of course, this was one of the aspects.
More importantly, as a cafe that has never served customers like Karp and Skyler, the efficiency of serving food is really too slow, resulting in at least two hours of idle time out of more than two hours.
After a few of them left a huge sum of money and left, the store owner squatted down against the wall, tired...endless tired. He had experienced the difficulty of being a porter today.
At this time, at the Santa Pobla platform, Robin held a ticket and hid in a corner, looking even more tired than the cafe owner at this time.
She had just arrived at the Grand Channel. She had not rested since she entered the Grand Channel. She had been thinking of ways to escape from the pirate group she belonged to, and after escaping, she continued to evade their pursuit.
She showed up at the cafe so early today, not because she was really in such high spirits and went there to have a cup of coffee early in the morning, but because she was just too sleepy to stand it.
But obviously... that cup of coffee didn't have much effect. Although she felt refreshed in the morning,... after being "safe", the excitement quickly faded away. Now she was so exhausted that she couldn't even stand up. .
But she didn't dare to sleep, not to mention that she wasn't completely sure of her safety now. Even if the pirates stopped chasing her, Skyler and Garp stopped attacking her, Robin couldn't sleep either.
Because for her, this sea is not free. A duckweed like her should be able to adapt to this kind of life, but Robin just can't fit in here.
The sea only brought her one danger after another. She always betrayed others first, because she knew that if she didn't do this, she would die more miserably than anyone else.
Although she was out of danger for a short time now, she was very confused and didn't know where to go next. Although the next goal was just to use each other, and then the person discovered her identity.
Then...either he betrays first as always, or he makes his first mistake and is betrayed in turn, ushering in his own death.
After meeting Skyler and Garp today, what Skyler said to her made it impossible for her to fall asleep even though she was extremely tired.
Because she couldn't understand why the Vice Admiral let her go 17 years ago, and she couldn't understand why they still chose to let her go 17 years later.
Even if Aokiji and Skyler, like the pirates and mafia she had cooperated with in the past, let her complete some seemingly impossible tasks.
Why... let her go but didn't give her any instructions?
Or do they just want to watch themselves survive and keep struggling in order to continue to survive?
But... combined, they have only seen each other so many times that one hand can count them. Even if they have to watch her struggle, there is no need to stay so far away, right?
Just when Robin kept thinking, but got absolutely no results, there seemed to be some movement in the port in the distance.
"Pirates! Pirates are coming!!!"
"Run!"
"Run that way! I saw Lieutenant General Garp and Lieutenant General Skyler this morning! They are in that direction!"
The civilians surrounding the port dispersed in a hurry, and the noisy sound quickly passed through the air and entered Robin's ears. She turned around tiredly, and when she saw the pirate ship, she felt extremely complicated.
The Red Strings Pirates were the last pirate group she betrayed until now.
"Can you still catch me? Sure enough, you made more than one piece of my life paper?"
Robin tiredly held on to the railing and stood up. If the Red String Pirates really still had their own life cards, then there was no point in escaping blindly.
"We still have to deal with the trouble."
Whispering, Robin crossed the railing and fell downwards. When she was about to hit the ground, a row of arms appeared on the wall, constantly slowing her down.
After landing safely on the ground, Robin quickly rushed towards the port.
There are still a few hours before the train arrives. Maybe... I can solve the trouble by myself and then leave calmly.
Just when she arrived near the port and was about to lurk on the pirate ship, a deep and powerful voice rang through the town.
"Which bastard dares to interrupt my vacation?!"
It sounded like thunder, no... Robin looked at the sky and found that the sky that had been clear just a moment ago was now covered with dark clouds, and countless thunder snakes were passing through the clouds.
"I've never heard of it! Navy hero Garp is actually an esper?!"
Especially for a peaceful place like Saint Bobla, which is a rare place in the great waterway, pirates rarely come there, and among the pirates, not every pirate group has a devil fruit ability user.
Therefore, it is normal for them to be shocked. After all, in this kind of town, Devil Fruit users are like urban legends. Everyone says they exist, but no one has ever seen them.
However, Garp and Skyler subconsciously looked at Robin. Almost at the same time, both of them narrowed their eyes and carefully identified Robin.
After escaping from Olaha, Robin felt for the first time that death was so close to him. In the past, even if those pirates, mafia, and bounty hunters put knives or guns on him, they would never feel this way. Feel.
But Cap and Skyler did it with just one look.
'It's simply not a level of life! '
Robin suddenly had this feeling. If those who threatened his life with knives and guns in the past were people of the same kind as him, then Skyler and Garp at this time were like...gods!
Just being watched, there was a feeling that her life was in their hands. It wasn't that Robin didn't want to escape, but she knew that in front of these two people, running away... would only make her death worse. shameful.
Suddenly, Robin remembered the Vice Admiral who saved his life more than ten years ago. At that time, he had no power, so he didn't have this feeling of powerlessness, right?
She even blamed the boy who ate her cake and even pulled off part of her disguise. After all, she didn't find things like Devil Fruit magical.
Because she is also one of the devil fruit users.
"Da~"
Skyler suddenly stood up, Robin subconsciously took a half step back, and Garp instantly put his hand on Skyler's left hand that was still on the table.
Robin didn't understand why Garp did this, because Skyler's appearance clearly recognized him. As a marine, what he needs to do when he sees the remnants of O'Hara is...capture or Behead!
Garp seemed to have no reason to stop Skyler. Skyler turned to look at Garp. Garp put away his expression at this time, looked at Skyler calmly, and then shook his head.
Skyler was silent for a second, and then nodded without any communication, but Garp retracted his hand, and Skyler stepped towards Robin.
Robin, who had just taken half a step back, now for some unknown reason, no longer dared to take a step back. Instead, he stood dumbly on the spot. The experience of escaping from death countless times in the past ten years was completely unavailable at this time. use. .
The existence of Skyler and Garp made her feel like she was back in her childhood when she had no power. Struggling and escaping should be completely meaningless at this time.
Skyler walked towards Robin, stopped when he passed by Luffy who was lying down, bent slightly, picked up Luffy, and took the cowboy hat from his hands that had rebounded.
I reached out and patted my cowboy hat. There was no smoke, but if something fell on the ground, it was polite to pick it up and wipe it, or pat it a few times before returning it to others.
Skyler continued to move closer to Robin. Robin felt that she could hear her own heartbeat at this time. After all, this might be the last sound of her life.
"Sorry, I got your hat dirty. If you don't mind, please wait a moment. Your cake was eaten by my nephew."
Skyler handed the cowboy hat to Robin, but Robin didn't reach out to take it. She didn't even understand what Skyler said and wrote right away.
She hung on every word Skylar said, but... her brain just couldn't process it.
"Ok?"
Skyler handed the cowboy hat forward and made a questioning sound. Only then did Robin react and quickly took his cowboy hat and said, "No need..."
"Definitely. Not just for the money you spend, but also for the education of your children."
Skyler's tone was not harsh, it was even so plain that there were not many fluctuations in his tone, but his determined tone was like reciting the truth, making it impossible to refute.
"Luffy, apologize and pay."
After talking to Robin, Skyler looked back at Luffy. After hearing Skyler's words, Luffy realized that he had made a mistake. He walked to the bar honestly and took out ten thousand beli. , said:
"Please give this sister a piece of cake."
The shop owner took the money and before he could change it, Luffy walked up to Robin with his head lowered, bowed deeply and said, "I'm sorry, if you're still angry, you can hit me!"
In contrast to Skyler's calmness, Luffy's tone was full of emotion. As soon as he said it, the people around him already felt his sincerity. Robin also waved his hands quickly and said: "It's just a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding..."
Her voice became quieter because she knew Skyler was watching her, even through her sunglasses, but as Robin, who had not lived a safe life for more than ten years, she was very sensitive to other people's gazes.
Although it had just been determined that Skyler and Garp should have recognized her identity, Robin did not feel at ease that the two did not take action.
After all... maybe Skyler and Cap aren't set yet?If there is no confirmation, taking action rashly would seem to damage the Navy's face. After all, the words and deeds of these two people can easily make the headlines of the World Economic News.
Robin kept praying at this time, praying that Skyler and Garp would just feel like Nico Robin instead of identifying themselves as Nico Robin.
After all, if it was the former, she should still have a chance to survive.
"Robin."
But just when Robin was praying, Skyler called out her name accurately. In an instant, all the blood in Nico Robin's body rushed toward the heart and the main organs of the trunk, and her hands and feet became cold.
The caramel-like skin actually looked a little... pale at this time.
Seeing Robin's appearance, Skyler showed a smile, the smile that appeared when the prank was successful, and said:
"Kuzan and I are not friends, but we do have some friendship. Which one of us has a deeper friendship."
Skyler's words did not relieve Robin's nervousness. After all, Skyler's seemingly comforting words showed her familiarity with the O'Hara incident.
So familiar that even Aokiji spared the little girl Robin.
Robin couldn't even figure out why Lieutenant General Kuzan chose to let him go at that time, let alone Skyler and Garp who were now separated by another level.
At this time, the shop owner packed up a piece of cake and placed it on the counter, but he did not dare to call Robin or Skyler. After all, Robin looked very scared now.
Skyler's aura is too strong. Although she does not actively release it at all, her identity is the best aura support for these civilians.
However, the store owner didn't say anything, and Skyler had already heard it. She turned around, picked up the box containing the cake from the counter, and handed it to Robin.
Robin immediately reached out to take it, but found that he was still holding the hat in his hand. After putting the hat on, he reached out again and took the cake box from Skyler.
"Sorry, Lieutenant General Skyler, I'm going to go ahead. I don't know what you just said. You may have the wrong person."
After Robin finished speaking, she finally turned around and left. After walking a few steps, she could no longer calm down and ran quickly. Skyler looked at Luffy, who was still lowering his head, waiting for Robin to hit him.
"duang~"
Just because Robin didn't fight, it didn't mean that Luffy's behavior today could be changed like this. Skyler punched him directly on the head. Considering that this was someone else's shop, Skyler didn't use too much force. It's a small punishment but a big warning.
Returning to the round table, Garp said with a smile: "Kuzan boy, although he behaves like a boring gourd all day long, he has his own ideas, and I don't want to ruin his choice casually."
As early as when Nicole Robin's bounty order came out, Garp had already understood. After all, with Kuzan's ability, even if his ability was still somewhat lacking at the time, dealing with O'Hara... couldn't be so negligent. .
How could a "scholar" with the ability to decipher ancient texts be accidentally let go?And that was not the only accident in the O'Hara incident.
So the conclusion is self-evident, that is, this Nico Robin was deliberately let go by Kuzan. Although he did not know his true thoughts, but... As a former commander, Garp did not mind respecting Kuzan's choice.
However, Skyler did not take any action after recognizing Robin's identity. This surprised Garp. After Skyler sat down, he smiled and said:
"I don't have much contact with General Aokiji, but... we are comrades in life and death after all."
Skyler said this with a clear conscience. After all, she had gone through life and death with Qing Pheasant. She had just become the commander of the detachment that year, and before her first voyage as commander, she met Red Earl Redfield.
In that encounter, Qingzhi saved her, and she also saved Qingzhi. It is not too much to say that he is a comrade in life and death.
After hearing what Skyler said, Karp smiled even more. He did not forget that incident, because that was the beginning of Kuzan's turn.
If it hadn't been for that incident, perhaps there wouldn't be the current general Aokiji. If the Red Earl didn't come that day, maybe Kuzan would have taken the ticket given to him by Garp and gone back to his hometown.
And for his daughter in front of him, that battle was also a huge turning point.
It was not only the first battle Skyler experienced as the commander of the detachment, that battle... was also the first time that the top leaders of the World Government noticed Skyler's existence.
The truth about Gu Yuzuo, who is still full of doubts, has not yet been revealed.
Garp would never forget these things, but he was happy to hear that Skyler also remembered them.
After all, many people will forget or even deny their past incompetent and helpless selves after they succeed, but... I am very happy that my daughter is not such a person.
At this time, the owner of the cafe finally sifted the coffee beans and ground them into powder. He brought the powder and other utensils, as well as Eniro and Luffy's double milk, and some food.
The small round table was immediately filled up, but just as the shop owner was about to offer to share a table for them, he discovered that the food on the table was disappearing.
The four of them seemed to be chewing something in their mouths, but... where were their hands?In less than ten seconds, the food on the table instantly returned to zero, and the hands of the four people reappeared.
"Guru~"
The shop owner swallowed his saliva and quickly said without Skyler's explanation: "I'll clear the plates for you, and the rest will be served soon."
"Thank you."
Skyler showed an elegant smile, whispered to the shop owner, and then placed the two hot water kettles on the small charcoal stove that was brought together, waiting to boil the water.
However, Luffy and Enel's two glasses of milk were already empty.
Enel's glass of milk was drunk by Luffy, and Luffy's glass of milk was drunk by Garp. Now Enel has a lawsuit on his head and is angry, but he doesn't know what he can say.
After all...he didn't pay for anything, and all he ate and drank was Luffy's money, so even if his glass of milk was snatched away by Luffy, he didn't dare to say it out loud.
Although he now has 100 million Baileys, according to the consumption level of the "tour group" he is following, 100 million Baileys cannot last long.
You can't lose your godly attitude just for the sake of a moment's enthusiasm.
While Anilu was waiting for his new milk to be served, the two hot water bottles also made a sharp chirping sound. Skyler skillfully moved the two pots of water out of the charcoal stove.
For a swordsman who fought with two black knives all year round, it was easy to control two pots of hot water at the same time. She skillfully preheated the cups.
Then I put in coffee powder, two parts of coffee powder, but each part of coffee powder contains double the amount.
It's not that Skyler wants to drink more coffee, but it's a technique for making coffee that involves more ground coffee and less liquid.
In this way, the concentration of the coffee liquid will be very high. Finally, these high-concentration coffee liquids are mixed with water to make a cup of reasonably good coffee. This technique has a name, called "bypass".
To put it simply, use more than 1 part of coffee powder to brew less than 1 part of coffee liquid, and then mix it into 1 part of coffee.
It seems a bit wasteful, but it is a good way to deal with not-so-good quality coffee. After all, if you follow the conventional extraction, a lot of bad flavors will be extracted in the later stage.
Instead of drinking a whole cup of coffee, it is better to extract only the front part, which is a bit thin but has a decent taste.
Add powder, cloth, wait until the hot water reaches the appropriate temperature, add water and steam, wait for the carbon dioxide in the coffee powder to be released, then directly flow it with a knife to extract a small amount of coffee liquid.
Mix the water with water, then pour it from the sharing pot into the coffee cup. Two cups of coffee, one was handed to Garp who looked suspicious, and the other was placed in front of him.
Garp doesn't like drinking coffee. After all, he will easily get hungry after drinking it, and he doesn't think coffee is any good.
But he couldn't refuse Skyler, so he had to take a sip, and then he felt... as bitter as ever.
No, it’s sour and bitter!
Watching Garp drink the whole cup of coffee as if wearing a mask of pain, Skyler laughed. People who love coffee and people who don't drink coffee have very different feelings about the taste of coffee. of.
Just like people who love cilantro, cilantro is "fragrant", but people who hate cilantro regard it as a "stinky" dish. This is normal.
"tasty."
Although he was wearing a mask of pain, Garp still praised him, then picked up the kettle and said, "It's just too little, it doesn't quench my thirst at all!"
As he said that, he poured water into the colander, and Skyler didn't bother to stop him. Not to mention whether Garp knew what a gold cup was, he just said that the first cup just now was not in gold cup proportions.
So... it's nice to be free to drink whatever you like.
When the sharing pot was filled up, Karp poured himself a cup and took a sip.
Oh boy, this time the sourness is gone, it’s all bitter.
Seeing the mask of pain appearing on Garp's face again, Skyler laughed so hard. Sure enough, real happiness must be based on the pain of others.
At this time, the shop owner finally brought the second round of desserts and two glasses of milk.
Garp kept using his hands to stuff his mouth with high-sugar desserts that were not suitable for breakfast, but he still couldn't suppress the bitter taste, so he picked up Luffy's milk and drank it.
Luffy saw this and was about to stop him, but his mouth was also full of desserts. When he moved, he was immediately choked. He subconsciously picked up Enel's milk and drank it.
Enel: (σ-`д?′)
The surrounding customers looked at this table. They still couldn't believe that this was a gathering of two naval heroes and two unknown people. After all... this was not what they imagined.
Shouldn't a high-ranking being like a Vice Admiral always have a rigid face, a deep frown on his face, and eyes full of wisdom and a sense of storytelling that has seen the vicissitudes of life?
These two crazy people are definitely Vice Admirals?Are you sure you are a naval hero?
But they were just shocked and confused, but the store owner was different, he was still in pain.
As the owner of a cafe, this should be a very easy job, especially with two helpers. Moreover, the slow rhythm should be the main theme of the cafe, right?
The store owner never thought that one day he would be more tired from work than when he was young. If he had known that being a boss would be so tiring, why would he have to resign and go it alone? !
Even though it was high-sugar food, it took a group of four people more than two hours to eat it before they felt that breakfast was over. It wasn't that they were too good at eating... Of course, this was one of the aspects.
More importantly, as a cafe that has never served customers like Karp and Skyler, the efficiency of serving food is really too slow, resulting in at least two hours of idle time out of more than two hours.
After a few of them left a huge sum of money and left, the store owner squatted down against the wall, tired...endless tired. He had experienced the difficulty of being a porter today.
At this time, at the Santa Pobla platform, Robin held a ticket and hid in a corner, looking even more tired than the cafe owner at this time.
She had just arrived at the Grand Channel. She had not rested since she entered the Grand Channel. She had been thinking of ways to escape from the pirate group she belonged to, and after escaping, she continued to evade their pursuit.
She showed up at the cafe so early today, not because she was really in such high spirits and went there to have a cup of coffee early in the morning, but because she was just too sleepy to stand it.
But obviously... that cup of coffee didn't have much effect. Although she felt refreshed in the morning,... after being "safe", the excitement quickly faded away. Now she was so exhausted that she couldn't even stand up. .
But she didn't dare to sleep, not to mention that she wasn't completely sure of her safety now. Even if the pirates stopped chasing her, Skyler and Garp stopped attacking her, Robin couldn't sleep either.
Because for her, this sea is not free. A duckweed like her should be able to adapt to this kind of life, but Robin just can't fit in here.
The sea only brought her one danger after another. She always betrayed others first, because she knew that if she didn't do this, she would die more miserably than anyone else.
Although she was out of danger for a short time now, she was very confused and didn't know where to go next. Although the next goal was just to use each other, and then the person discovered her identity.
Then...either he betrays first as always, or he makes his first mistake and is betrayed in turn, ushering in his own death.
After meeting Skyler and Garp today, what Skyler said to her made it impossible for her to fall asleep even though she was extremely tired.
Because she couldn't understand why the Vice Admiral let her go 17 years ago, and she couldn't understand why they still chose to let her go 17 years later.
Even if Aokiji and Skyler, like the pirates and mafia she had cooperated with in the past, let her complete some seemingly impossible tasks.
Why... let her go but didn't give her any instructions?
Or do they just want to watch themselves survive and keep struggling in order to continue to survive?
But... combined, they have only seen each other so many times that one hand can count them. Even if they have to watch her struggle, there is no need to stay so far away, right?
Just when Robin kept thinking, but got absolutely no results, there seemed to be some movement in the port in the distance.
"Pirates! Pirates are coming!!!"
"Run!"
"Run that way! I saw Lieutenant General Garp and Lieutenant General Skyler this morning! They are in that direction!"
The civilians surrounding the port dispersed in a hurry, and the noisy sound quickly passed through the air and entered Robin's ears. She turned around tiredly, and when she saw the pirate ship, she felt extremely complicated.
The Red Strings Pirates were the last pirate group she betrayed until now.
"Can you still catch me? Sure enough, you made more than one piece of my life paper?"
Robin tiredly held on to the railing and stood up. If the Red String Pirates really still had their own life cards, then there was no point in escaping blindly.
"We still have to deal with the trouble."
Whispering, Robin crossed the railing and fell downwards. When she was about to hit the ground, a row of arms appeared on the wall, constantly slowing her down.
After landing safely on the ground, Robin quickly rushed towards the port.
There are still a few hours before the train arrives. Maybe... I can solve the trouble by myself and then leave calmly.
Just when she arrived near the port and was about to lurk on the pirate ship, a deep and powerful voice rang through the town.
"Which bastard dares to interrupt my vacation?!"
It sounded like thunder, no... Robin looked at the sky and found that the sky that had been clear just a moment ago was now covered with dark clouds, and countless thunder snakes were passing through the clouds.
"I've never heard of it! Navy hero Garp is actually an esper?!"
