Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History

The old man was very drunk, but the old man was very drunk.

…

At the same time.

A certain sea area in the New World.

An illegal zone on a neutral island.

A tavern.

“Hahahaha!! Daddy is treating us today, we won’t go home until we are drunk!!”

Marco, with a pineapple head, stood on a table, raising his beer glass with a red face.

“Roar!!”

The other members of the Whitebeard Pirates also raised their glasses and laughed heartily.

“Hey, hey, hey, you guys!!”

Whitebeard shouted helplessly, but the next second he was surrounded by his own crew and poured wine, and soon he was integrated into the lively and joyful atmosphere.

The crowd sang and danced, venting their long-suppressed desires and emotions.

Some people sang with beer bottles as microphones,

Some people laughed,

Some people got drunk and cried,

Some people just sat there quietly, watching their friends in a mess with a smile on their faces.

"Hey, Oden! Don't sit there in a daze, everyone is happy!! Come and have a drink too!"

Marco suddenly seemed to have discovered something, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He ran to a corner of the tavern excitedly, put his arm around Kozuki Oden, who was wearing a samurai uniform, and said with a breath of alcohol:

"What are you thinking about?"

Kozuki Oden, who was originally in a daze, suddenly came back to his senses, looked at Marco, who was drunk in front of him, and smiled:

"Nothing."

Marco rolled his eyes and suddenly asked:

"Are you homesick?"

Kozuki Oden seemed to have heard a joke, and laughed:

"How could it be, my dream since I was a child is to travel the sea!!"

"Become a free pirate, travel the world, and see all the beautiful scenery of this sea. This will make it worthwhile for me, Kozuki Oden, to come to this world!"

"Compared to this vast and endless sea, Wano Country is really too narrow."

Marco frowned, Curiously asked:

"Since you don't miss home, why are you absent-minded every day and often sit alone at the bow in a daze?"

Kozuki Oden waved his hand pretending to be calm:

"Nothing, nothing, just dazed."

Marco stared at Kozuki Oden's face with suspicion, muttering:

"Is it because you lost to that navy named Darren?"

"That guy is not simple. He even destroyed Kaido's base camp. Even a terrifying guy like "World Destroyer" Bondi Waldo fell into his hands. It's not unfair for you to lose to him... Just have a chance to win back in the future."

Kozuki Oden laughed heartily:

"Of course I know that the appearance of that navy proved that my idea of ​​going to sea was right."

"Otherwise, I will stay in Wano Country and will never meet such a powerful opponent in my life!"

He subconsciously pressed the handle of the Tenyuhazan at his waist, his eyes flashing with a strong fighting spirit.

"Next time we meet, I will win, and I will take Yan Mo back from him!"

Aside from the Ame-no-Habezan, there was also a black scabbard hanging around his waist.

Seeing his carefree look, Marco was even more confused.

Since he was not upset because he lost the battle with the navy, then what was the reason...

As the "butler" of the Whitebeard Pirates, Marco was much more attentive to other crew members than the rough Whitebeard.

Looking at the samurai in front of him taking a sip of beer, Marco suddenly seemed to remember something and asked tentatively:

"You... are you thinking about women?"

Puff! !

Kozuki Oden sprayed a mouthful of beer on Marco's face.

He shook his head with a flushed face and coughed violently:

"I, I didn't!!"

Marco wiped the wine off his face speechlessly, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

Come on, it's too obvious.

"Is it that pretty girl? I think her name is... Toki?"

Marco asked in a low voice.

Seeing that he couldn't hide it, Kozuki Oden was silent for a while, and suddenly sighed.

"I don't understand why..."

He scratched his head.

"It's just a chance encounter, but watching her being taken away by the navy named Darren, I always feel like I've lost something very important."

...

The bedroom was a mess.

White socks, loose kimonos, purple belts... scattered all over the floor, even the air was filled with a decadent temperature.

Darren climbed up weakly, holding his lower back with one hand and carefully covering Ah Shi who had fallen asleep with the other hand.

He glanced at Tian Yueshi, whose face was full of satisfaction and whose mouth corners were slightly raised, and exhaled lightly, then walked out of the room quietly.

"It's really too painful..."

Wearing a pair of shorts, Darren sat on the threshold in front of the house without any attitude, lit a cigarette, supported his cheek with his head down, and muttered:

"Are you really going to look for Huoshaoshan?"

But this idea was rejected as soon as it came up.

No, no!

Darren shook his head and shuddered all over.

Although Huoshaoshan didn't look like a gossiper, the overly gentle guy looked like he couldn't keep a secret.

If it got out, would his reputation still be there?

No, that's not right.

His reputation in the headquarters was "not so good".

But you can't just give up like this.

As a man, you can't accept that you can't do it.

"It seems that I have to think of other ways... Life return? This doesn't seem to work. That thing consumes your energy, and it's not just a fatal injury. This is not something that Life Return can solve..."

Darren held a cigarette in one hand and stroked the stubble on his chin with the other hand, thinking:

"How about... Cover it with Armament Haki?"

As soon as this idea came up, Darren couldn't help but brighten up.

This should be feasible...

I just don't know if it will be too powerful.

Well, if the founder of Armament Haki knew that someone in the future would use this ability to do that, I guess the coffin would be so angry that it would explode.

Darren's thoughts gradually drifted away, and there was no limit.

He sat there smoking, quietly looking up at the quiet starry sky.

The sound of Ah Shi's even breathing in the bedroom behind him continued to come, making him feel peaceful.

Under the soft light, he couldn't help but smile.

How long had it been since he had felt so happy and secure?

He couldn't remember clearly.

Fighting, fighting, desire, money, planning... The past life was so clear in his mind. The life in the last life might be comfortable enough, but the memory had long been blurred.

A cigarette was quickly finished.

Darren simply rinsed his mouth, then walked into the room, got into bed, and hugged the sleeping Ah Shi in his arms.

Looking at the face in his arms that was filled with a happy smile, Darren gently kissed her forehead and whispered:

"Happy New Year."
