Pirate: This gunman is quite fierce

The old man was lying on the bed, and the old man was lying on the bed.

Lying on the bed, Darrow stared blankly at the ceiling above his head, not knowing what he was thinking.

Darrow had insomnia again, but this time there was a reason for insomnia. On the one hand, the conversation with Lao Qiaoxi woke Darrow up, and he really had to think about his future plans.

And the other more important reason was.

"Hum, hum."

"Haha, good, good wine, all good things."

"Boy, you really have hidden a lot of good things."

"You leave a few bottles for me." Darrow kicked the wooden wall next to him and said to a thief outside the window.

Behind the house, a red-nosed marmot was digging at the roots of a tree, and from time to time there were a few proud cries, as if he had prepared food for the winter in advance.

"..."

"It's time to leave Batlila."

Daro sighed, as if he had made a difficult decision, but it was also true. As his and Lu Jiu's long-term home, Batlila Island was Daro's own comfort zone.

No matter when, it is a brave decision to make up your mind to step out of your comfort zone.

It is impossible for Daro to become a top powerhouse by working behind closed doors and practicing hard on this small island in the South China Sea.

The real strong must be tempered in battle after battle, and with Daro's strength, especially after eating the fruit, fighting with ordinary small pirates can no longer improve Daro's strength.

Only the Great Route and the New World are your own stage. If you don't hone yourself in these places, you can't become a top powerhouse, let alone face the challenging future.

From the beginning to the end, Darrow was full of urgency for his doomed future. At this moment, Darrow finally made up his mind to leave Batlila and take the initiative to challenge his doomed fate.

…

The next afternoon, at the fishing dock, Lao Qiaoxi and Darrow were chatting, and the boat ready to depart had been waiting for two hours.

"What's the matter with this old Dutch?" Lao Qiaoxi's feet were sore from standing on the dock, but there was no trace of Dutch.

"Maybe he slept late." Darrow was thinking in his heart, how could he not be late after moving so much wine for me yesterday.

After a while, Dutch came late, kicked and dragged his feet into the dock, followed by a little donkey, who was dragging a cart behind him, which was piled with bottles and jars. The donkey cart walked on the road, leaving a heavy rut.

"This guy is really rude."

Looking at the full of wine bottles on the donkey cart, Darrow felt distressed. These were all the wines he had collected.

Because the alcohol content of the wine in the pirate world is not very high, Darrow drinks it like drinking boiled water, so every year Darrow brews some white wine and buries it under the tree behind the house.

It took several years to save up these old bottoms.

I didn't expect this old groundhog to be so rude and take so many. Fortunately, there are still a few bottles left at home.

But there is no way. After all, I really owe Dutch a lot of favors in the two matters of bullets and devil fruits. Just take them all.

"Haha, Lao Qiaoxi, take a look, how about my wine."

"Ah! Darrow is here too, not bad, not bad, you are really good this time." Dutch said proudly, and his joyful expression could not be suppressed, and even the wine trough on his face became a little red.

Lao Qiaoxi was about to get angry when he saw that the old guy had made him wait for so long and still acted so proud.

"Hey, why are you still standing there? Hurry up and move the wine. I dug all this wine out late at night. If you don't move it, you won't be able to drink it." Daqi said, glancing at Lao Qiaoxi standing aside.

"You..."

Is Lao Qiaoxi such a spineless person? He bent his back to move wine for his old enemy just because of a few bottles of wine?

Not true! ! !

"Haha, come on, come on." So, the backboned Lao Qiaoxi touched his nose, walked to the donkey cart happily, and moved the wine obediently.

It's not that Lao Qiaoxi is greedy for these wines, but he is mainly worried that Lao Daqi's old bones can't move them.

Yes, he is concerned about his old friend, concern!

"This guy, Da Luo brewed so much wine and hid it all the time. This time, Da Qi took it all away. I can drink enough, haha!" Lao Qiaoxi thought secretly.

Here, Da Luo, who has been supervised by the fish farm owner Qiaoxi for many years, looks at the former boss moving things now and feels a little mysterious.

Wonderful.

"Boy, take it." Dutch took out a notebook from his arms and threw it to Darrow.

Darrow took a look and saw a few big words written crookedly on the cover: "Sharpshooter's Notes"

"Boy, inside is the manufacturing method of several special bullets and some shooting skills recorded by me. I wanted to give it to you later, but I'm leaving soon, so you take it with you."

"...Okay"

Darrow accepted the notebook and said to old Dutch solemnly: "Don't worry, although I didn't join the navy as Lao Qiaoxi wished, I will definitely use it well."

"I'm not as pedantic as Lao Qiaoxi, as long as you don't use it to kill innocent people." Old Dutch waved his hand.

"Darrow, this era needs more reformers than the navy." Dutch said meaningfully. At this moment, Dutch was no longer drunk as usual, and seemed to be more sober than ever.

A sharp gaze like a hawk shot out from his eyes, and it really looked like a [falcon spear].

"..." Innovators? Darrow thought of Roger and Luffy. Maybe they are the innovators of this world.

For some reason, Darrow always felt that he was more like a traveler in this world. He looked at this world from another perspective and always lacked a sense of "participation".

"Hey, it's done. Let's go." Old Qiaoxi interrupted the conversation between the two and waved on the deck.

"... Let's go." Old Dutch put on his cowboy hat and staggered onto the boat with a wine jug.

"Well... goodbye." Darrow waved and said goodbye to the two, reluctantly.

Watching the fishing boat slowly leave the dock, sailing into the distance, and gradually turning into a small dot, it disappeared completely on the sea level in a short while.

"... Huh" Darrow let out a long breath.

It can be seen that his heart is not as calm as it seems. For a long time, except for Lu Jiu, Darrow has always been distant to everyone.

But this time, Qiao Xi and Daqi's departure made Darrow feel that these people who lived with him day and night were living characters, not just characters in the anime world.

Darrow did not notice that after more than ten years of getting along, he actually cherished these ties from the bottom of his heart.

Darrow was on the shore, watching the boat slowly disappear on the coastline.

In a small boat on the sea.

The sun has set, and the afterglow of the sunset falls on the sea, shining like a piece of silk. The half-moon can't wait to hang in the sky, and the soft sea breeze raises playful waves.

Old Qiao Xi leaned on the railing beside the small fishing boat, looking in the direction of Batlila, and Daqi sat sideways beside him, holding a bottle of wine in his right hand, taking a sip from time to time, so comfortable.

"I don't know what the future of this kid will be like." Old Qiaoxi thought of the boy on the island and said with some expectation.

"That kid is destined to stand at the top of this era." Dutch's tone was extremely certain, as if he was talking about an established fact.

"Does the navy know that it was Darrow who defeated Sam?" Dutch asked.

"Well, I didn't hide it from Quilly. After all, if this kid is willing to be a navy, it can be considered a merit."

As he said, Old Qiaoxi grabbed the wine in Dutch's hand, took a sip and continued, "Why don't you say he is unwilling?"

"I think you are worrying about nothing. With his strength, it doesn't matter where he goes as long as he doesn't do evil."

----------------Dividing line-------------

Old Qiaoxi didn't know that while the two of them were talking, in the naval base of Green Barto, the Kingdom of West Asia.

"Moses, Vice Admiral Sengoku, I'm Major General Quilly from the South Sea N4 base. The Giant Cannon Pirates of the South Sea have been annihilated."

"You did it?"

"No, it wasn't."

"Oh, who did it?" A man with fluffy hair like a ball of tangled dough on the other end of the phone answered in surprise. It was the young Sengoku.

"Doval, the former captain of the Kingdom Guard Corps, said that they defeated Wapo and Viper Snider of the former Blood Hand Pirates, and Sam, the captain of the Giant Cannon Pirates...

It is said that he was defeated by a sixteen-year-old boy named Darrow."

"..."

At this moment, the first wave of Darrow's waves finally surged on the sea.
