Pirate: My crew are all emperors?

Quickly sheathing his sword and retreating, Rocks rushed towards the merchant ship without hesitation. Although the pain on the dragon's body was quickly relieved, the anger in its heart was even stronger. It seemed that it had to tear Rocks into pieces to offset the anger in its heart. .

However, Rocks didn't intend to continue to struggle with it. Every time he used the fruit's ability to block the attack, he used the strength to rush further, reaching the coast in a matter of seconds.

When Kate saw this, she immediately shouted to the sailors:

"Fire, cover Rocks on board!"

Bang!

Bang!

Bang!

The artillery hit the giant dragon one after another, and its huge body allowed the cannonballs to hit perfectly every time.

Although the dragon's scales could withstand most damage, the wound made by Rocks was very fragile. A cannonball hit it, making its movements stiff.

Locks took this opportunity to grab the rope dropped by the sailor and quickly climbed onto the ship.

"Get off the boat!"

After Rocks got on the boat, everyone no longer hesitated and turned the helm to leave the Food Island. The dragon stood on the shore and kept roaring angrily. It even opened its mouth and sprayed a stream of fiery breath at the merchant ship.

Unfortunately, Rocks used the fruit's ability to offset this final struggle, and he could only stand there helpless and furious.

……

It wasn't until the Food Island completely disappeared from the coastline that everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Kate even patted Rocks on the shoulder and laughed:

"Rocks, you are so awesome! Thanks to you, everyone can escape this time!"

"Yes, yes, if Rocks hadn't been here, we might have been in danger."

Everyone on the crew expressed their gratitude and admiration for the performance, but Rocks just smiled bitterly and said:

"It's just good luck. If I were to face that guy again, I'd probably lose more than I win."

He lowered his head and looked at his sword. He had forcibly attached the fruit ability to the sword before. Even though he had strengthened it with Haki, it still had many cracks. If he didn't find a place to repair it, he might not be able to use it to fight anymore.

Kate followed Locks' line of sight, noticed the condition of the knife, and comforted:

"I know an old blacksmith who should be able to help you repair the knife. Don't worry."

"……thanks."

In fact, it's not that Rocks couldn't find a place where he could repair the weapon. It's just that this knife meant a lot to him. It felt a bit sorry for the teacher that it was damaged like this.

But then I thought about it, if the teacher knew that the weapon he left for him saved him from the dragon, I'm afraid he would be relieved.

"After all, it's still not strong enough."

If I had the strength that my teacher had when he was young, the giant dragon on the food island might not be a threat at all. After all, no matter how hard that guy's scales are, can he be stronger than a hill?

"Boss, this wine is too fragrant, can we..."

After loading the returned wine barrels into the warehouse, a sailor looked at the last unfilled barrel and whispered.

Kate curled her lips angrily:

"I know you guys are starting to get drunk, so just think of it as a celebration. Let's all have a taste today."

"Okay, the boss is awesome!"

The sailors cheered and immediately began to make arrangements for the banquet.

The chef skillfully cooked the ingredients into delicious food, while the sailors cleaned the restaurant. When the banquet started, Kate pulled Rocks to sit next to him.

"Today's harvest is quite fruitful. All this is inseparable from everyone's joint efforts, but the one who needs the most thanks is Rocks! If he hadn't tried his best to stop the dragon, we would never have been able to leave smoothly, so this first cup Wine, let’s toast him!”

"That's too polite to say. I just use people's money to do things for them. After all, I can't let your money go to waste, can I?"

Rocks quickly took the wine glass in his hand, but Kate shook her head:

"One code is another code. This time, my intelligence was not good enough, which almost put everyone in trouble. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid we would not only not be able to get the wine, but there would also be many casualties."

Rocks was about to say something, but Kate changed her words:

"But we still made it back successfully, didn't we! In that case, let's eat with all our heart and treat ourselves!"

"Oh!!!"

The sailors cheered and immediately began to feast.

"These guys..." Kate laughed and cursed, then apologized slightly to Rocks:

"We are all rough people and don't pay much attention to etiquette. Don't take it to heart. Try this red wine. I've never forgotten it since the last time I tasted it."

As she spoke, Kate had already taken a sip, with a look of enjoyment on her face.

Rocks' expression changed slightly. Is it really so delicious?

After tasting a few drops, the wine droplets quickly turned into a blazing heat and flowed down his throat. Rocks felt that his body was on fire, and a layer of light red appeared on his skin, making him look like he had just been fished out of warm water. Come the same.

When Kate saw this, she couldn't help but joked:

"You don't have a body that gets drunk easily, right? You start getting drunk after just one sip of red wine?"

However, Rocks had no chance to respond, because after drinking the red wine in the glass, he felt constant pulling and soreness throughout his body, as if an invisible force was pressing on his muscles.

But this feeling is not a kind of torture. Instead, after the pulling, a warm current continuously flows out to restore the injuries from the previous battle. In just a few moments, most of his physical condition has recovered.

"This wine...is not simple."

Locks looked down at the red wine in the glass, and then looked at the others. It seemed that no one had the same obvious effect after drinking it. When he asked Kate, he only got the answer "it tastes pretty good".

After hesitating for a while, Rocks suddenly said:

"I would like to exchange the remaining part of the reward for this wine, is that okay?"

Kate was stunned for a moment by these words. Rocks thought he was unwilling and was about to use other rewards in exchange, but Kate's next words surprised Rocks.

"If you want, you can take a bucket directly from the warehouse and take it away. You don't need the money, just treat it as a gift between friends."

"But this kind of wine should be sold at a high price, right? The value of a barrel of wine is probably far beyond my remuneration."

Rocks originally thought that being able to exchange for one or two bottles would be enough, but he didn't expect Kate to be so generous.

"Hey, you're not a businessman, so you may not understand. The less of many things, the more valuable they are. Although six barrels of wine were shipped this time, if I were to sell them, it would take at least half a year to sell them. Maybe the last barrel would still be available. It can increase the price several times!”

Can you still play like this?

Locks' eyes looked like 'you're a profiteer'. Kate laughed and said:

"There is no treachery or businessmanship. I would not do this kind of thing for ordinary goods. Instead, I would try to keep the price as low as possible. But luxury goods can only be consumed by the rich. So why don't I give them a lot of money? Can you be worthy of yourself?"

Rocks laughed, Kate's character could indeed become a great maritime businessman!

How many businessmen make money regardless of their goals. Whether they are rich or poor, they want to squeeze out their bones and blood.

According to Kate's approach, as long as nothing unexpected happens in the future, it will definitely create a storm in the market.
