The Pirate's Cute Cat Tavern

Hawkeye came back holding the mung bean-sized wound on his wrist. His face was a little pale, and his eyes were a little resentful.

He felt that he had been cheated. He really didn't expect that the bit of blood in Locke's mouth was such a big tube...

Although it was true that he was not physically injured, Hawkeye still felt that he had suffered a huge loss as he felt the dizziness in front of his eyes.

Damn it, if I was scared to death and fainted from now on, how could I still be a swordsman?

"Oh, hehe, thank you, Mr. Mihawk! This is your wine, I wish you a happy drink!"

"In order to avoid your lack of blood, I specially brought you a plate of golden barbecue to replenish your body. This thing is one of the signatures of our store!"

"Please use it slowly!" Locke put everything in front of Hawkeye, blocking the complaint that Hawkeye was about to blurt out.

Hawkeye had been looking forward to this drink for a long time, so looking at the red, blue and white drink, he really had no intention of complaining.

Smelling the aroma of golden barbecue meat, Hawkeye, who hadn't eaten for too long, couldn't help his stomach growling. He ate a small piece to prepare for the meal.

As a result, when the barbecue was in your mouth, the extremely fragrant juices splashed out, filling Eagle Eye's entire mouth and infecting all of Eagle Eye's taste buds.

Eagle Eye's eyes lit up, and he couldn't help but pick up another piece and stuff it into his mouth.

"Hmm...this barbecue is really good, delicious!" Hawkeye subconsciously stuffed another piece into his mouth.

"Not bad, not bad! It's indeed a signature!" Hawkeye couldn't stop his rhythm.

Without realizing it, he quickly finished the plate of barbecue, and then Hawkeye picked up the cocktail with unsatisfied taste.

Then, too, I couldn't stop drinking the beef one mouthful after another. The feeling of alternating hot and cold, and explosive taste came again.

Hawkeye once again fell into a state of ecstasy because of a glass of wine.

After that state ended, Hawkeye's mind became clear again, and his energy was fully focused again.

He found that wonderful feeling again. In this state, he found the lines and 'breathing' rules of space, and noticed the weaknesses of space.

He felt that as long as he concentrated all his strength and slashed at the weak spot he noticed multiple times, he should be able to split the space.

Then, just when Hawkeye was about to lock on to the first spatial weakness, the effect of the cocktail faded again and his energy was lost again.

At this point, Eagle Eye understood that it was extremely difficult to break through, and the direction he found to split the space was correct.

However, he needs more time and more realizations to test and remember that feeling.

Until he can accurately find the weakness of space without relying on cocktails, and then split the space.

By then, Hawkeye will have taken a big step forward in the art of swordsmanship and will have the world's number one slash that is truly unstoppable!

In order to facilitate the early stage of understanding and learning, Eagle Eye stayed on the cute cat dining boat, drank a cocktail every day and slowly but firmly carried out his own path of enlightenment.

Locke didn't kick him out, he just charged a high price for room, food, and wine, hoping to trick him again one day when he was needed.

……

The lieutenant general arrived, and as Locke expected, it was the naval hero Lieutenant General Garp.

Although this guy was lazy, he still took action resolutely after seeing a mountain of irrefutable evidence.

He personally led the team to take action, sweeping forward unstoppably and capturing all corrupt officials in the East China Sea.

After this wave of blows, many people in Donghai have settled down.

The East China Sea has become calmer, and the reputation of the Cute Cat Dining Boat has become more and more prosperous, but no one who is short-sighted dares to provoke and rob it.

Locke, Tina and others have become heroes who work for the benefit of the people, and have huge reputations and supporters in the East China Sea. These people will be one of their backers.

Everything is proceeding according to the established trajectory.

The Straw Hats are, after all, people with similar brain circuits.

 During this salvage trip, Luffy saved Usopp once. Based on this, Usopp voluntarily gave up his position as captain.

With the ship in hand, Luffy reluctantly pulled Nami and Zoro onto the ship, and the Straw Hat Pirates were established again.

When Lieutenant General Garp heard the news, he was almost furious but had no choice. A lazy guy like him couldn't stop young people pursuing their dreams.

In this incident, Tina made great contributions as a member of the navy and received an opportunity for promotion and salary increase in advance.

She will be promoted to rear admiral, and the promotion ceremony will be held at the Navy Headquarters, which means she will return to the Grand Line.

Speaking of the Grand Line, Locke also had the idea of ​​trying it out.

Although he is staying in Donghai now, he still has a steady stream of customers and endless money.

But he always felt that something was missing. Comfort made people die. Being nestled in this sea area with the least crisis, his mind and body would get rusty.

This is not in line with Locke's ultimate great goal of filling the world with peaches and plums and conquering the whole world.

……

"Which one is better, making money? Or traveling around the world? Ahhh, it's really distressing!"

Locke was sitting at a table with a frown on his face. When he couldn't make up his mind, he took out a gold coin.

"Since you can't decide by yourself, then give me your dearest and most substantial gold coins to help me decide!"

"On the positive side, you can continue to stay in the East China Sea and make money steadily; on the negative side, you can explore the great sea route and make money while traveling around the world!"

As Locke spoke, he twisted the gold coin in his hand. The gold coin quickly spun under the force, then slowly stopped, and finally fell to the table.

Positive...making money...

"Uh, damn, it was windy just now, so it doesn't count this time! Try again!"

Locke acted shamelessly, picked up the gold coins and started spinning them again.

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Positive... make money!

"Damn it, I don't want to be a salty fish who only makes money! You can't cheat me with gold coins... Win two out of three games, do it again, do it again!"

Locke muttered to himself and spun the gold coins again.

Blah blah blah... bang!

The gold coin was covered by a white palm, and a figure came to the boring Locke's table. It was Nami who had just returned.

"The salvaged things have been put into the warehouse. Your money-obsessed golden cat has personally counted them! Do you still need to take a look?"

Nami sat across from her unceremoniously, picked up a glass of fruity sparkling wine from the table and started drinking it. That was what Locke had drunk...

"No need to look at it! That guy can count money more accurately than I can!"

Locke ignored the drink. He opened Nami's fingers and took back the gold coin she wanted to take away.

Then he turned around and looked at the Golden Meri docked near the dining boat, and smiled.

"Usopp's ship is flying the pirate flag! Is it really okay to park it so blatantly under the nose of the navy?"

"Of course it's not good, so we are ready to leave and go to the Grand Line! I am here to say goodbye to you..."

Nami stopped laughing, and instead spoke very seriously.

It’s the Grand Line again, we’re all going to the Grand Line!

Locke was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said in a relaxed tone.

"There is no such thing as a feast that lasts forever. I wish you all a safe journey and can pursue your dreams! Although the sea is vast, we will meet again eventually!"

"You also have a dream, right? Do you want to come with us?" Nami looked at Locke and issued a sincere invitation.

"Me? My dream is to make money...or not! I'm not the same person as you..." Locke sighed.

Haw!

Nami suddenly came up and kissed Locke on the side of his face, then quickly turned around and left, leaving only a word of farewell echoing in the wind.

"Thank you for everything! Goodbye..."
