Chapter 377 Buying knowledge with money
"So, the reason why you lost to Shanks was because of Rayleigh's off-field interference?"
Inside the rip-off bar.
Adrian looked at Enelu, with no joy or anger in his voice.
"Yes, yes..."
Enelu, who ran from the stairs to the bar, stammered a reply, feeling uneasy in his heart.
What the master said just now almost scared him to death.
What does "thinking he is dead" mean?
"Senior Rayleigh, what do you think?"
Adrian shifted his gaze away from Enelu and looked at Rayleigh.
"Oh, that's probably what happened..."
Reilly touched his chin and recalled.
"That day, I suddenly had a sudden impulse and wanted to go swimming in the sea. As a result, I swam out of the waters around the Shampoo Islands..."
This is indeed what Reilly can do.
This Pluto is a ruthless man who can swim across the windless zone with his bare hands!
Adrian muttered a few words silently and continued to listen to Reilly's subsequent story.
"... Then I met a fairly large wooden board on the sea, and saw a particularly friendly big red round nose, so I rescued Bucky... Shanks couldn't catch him in time... Then I After all, it was my mistake to take this guy with long earlobes back to a rip-off bar for treatment..."
After listening to Reilly's description of the cause.
Adrian glanced at Enelu lightly, and then fell into thinking.
Could it be...
Enel is almost the same as me back then. On the way to hunt down Shanks, have I encountered a 'grandpa'-like cut-scene character more than once?
"Brother White Ghost, is there any relationship between you and this boy Enelu?"
Xia Qi put her right hand on the bar counter and looked here with curiosity.
"Master! It's my master!"
Enelu shouted loudly as if he was declaring his sovereignty.
"Huh?"
Adrian raised his eyelids and hummed softly, raising his voice to express confusion.
"Master!!"
Enelu's expression was urgent and he looked at Adrian with sad eyes, almost crying a few drops of mud.
"Forget it, I won't hold you responsible for your fault."
Adrian waved his hand and decided to temporarily reclassify Enelu as his disciple.
Originally, because this guy delivered Bucky personally to Shanks, he was almost ready to be expelled.
Unexpectedly, there was interference from off-site factors...
"Senior Rayleigh, how do you decide to compensate Enel?"
Adrian looked at Rayleigh again and asked calmly.
"Compensation? Didn't I already bring him back for treatment? What's more..."
Reilly took a sip of wine, "I am a retired old guy, but I can't get anything out of it. Even the money for drinking is paid on credit in the bar..."
"I can confirm this~" Xia Qi said with a smile.
"No, I happen to think that the legendary pirate who just wants to retire has an unparalleled advantage!"
Adrian shook his head and gave the opposite assessment.
Tens of minutes ago, I thought that Enelu was dead, so I didn't choose the magical educational skill of [Training Master].
Now it seems...this decision was indeed the right one!
Adrian personally taught Enelu, how could he throw this guy away and let other good teachers teach him comfortably?
not to mention.
Leave the enemy that the Straw Hat Boy was destined to defeat, and give it to the teacher that the Straw Hat Boy is destined to teach in the future.
This picture is also more pleasing to the spirit.
Riley frowned, a bad feeling coming to his mind.
"White Ghost, what do you want from me?"
“First of all, let’s clarify the responsibility relationship.”
Adrian put on a commercial smile.
"Enel was seriously injured by Shanks. It was because of you, right?"
Rayleigh touched the wine bottle and said cautiously: "...I don't deny this, but..."
"So you need to make some compensation to Enel, right?"
"This is still no problem, but I have..."
"How about this!"
Adrian interrupted Rayleigh's quibbling words again, looked at Enelu, and then looked at Rayleigh.
"This guy's strength is really too weak. Why don't Senior Rayleigh help teach him for a while?"
"Master!!"
"White ghost?!"
Enel and Rayleigh shouted out in unison.
"You haven't been able to capture Shanks for more than two years, how dare you say you are so powerful?"
Adrian's words extinguished Enelu's resistance.
That's right...I am indeed too weak...
Enelu's anger towards Shanks once again arose in his heart, and he even resented the red-nosed clown.
The God of the Sky will never be weaker than the Straw Hat Boy in his life! !
"Hey! Wait wait wait!"
Reilly raised his hand and waved it.
"I'm a family man with a serious job to do! Where do I find the time to teach others?"
"When you say 'serious job', do you mean gambling, selling your body after losing all your money, then defrauding the money from the slave auction house, and then continuing to gamble again?"
Adrian revealed without mercy.
As if aware of Xia Qi's unkind look, Lei Li immediately defended loudly.
"I'm talking about the coating craftsmen!"
"Teach Enelu for a fee."
A smiling Xia Qi intervened in the conversation, "How much?"
"Captain of the Red-Haired Pirates, what is the latest reward amount for Shanks?"
Xia Qi has an excellent memory and replied smoothly: "162,000,000 beli. This news is 100,000 beli."
"Where's the red nose?"
"..."
Xia Qi was speechless. She really didn't know the amount of Bucky's reward.
When he was on Roger's ship, Bucky was not qualified to be rewarded; after returning to the East China Sea, Bucky was not qualified to be remembered by her.
Adrian said: "The two of them put it together, it's 170 million beli."
Reilly said with some dissatisfaction: "Why is Bucky only worth 8 million Baileys?"
"Does he deserve more?" Adrian asked in confusion, "I have never heard of this 'Bucky' story."
Rayleigh was rendered speechless.
It stands to reason that if Bucky eats the split fruit, his strength will be significantly enhanced.
But Rayleigh didn't know what Bucky had experienced in the East China Sea in the past seven or eight years. His strength...
never mind.
Somewhat sentimental.
"Why do I have to take this job?"
Reilly changed his angle and complained loudly.
"You don't want to?"
"I..."
Riley puffed up his throat and looked at Xia Qi who asked the question, feeling as if a black wind was rising from her back for no apparent reason.
"Acceptable."
A true man can bend and stretch, and he must be soft when he should be.
Adrian pretended not to smile and stretched out his right index finger.
"In one year, teach Eniru the battle experience, sea experience, and two-color domineering. 170 million beli."
"It's 170.1 million Baileys." Xia Qi said, "I agree!"
Rayleigh replied with a dark expression: "...Me too, no problem."
Adrian nodded towards the two of them in a friendly manner, and then patted Enelu on the shoulder.
"Enel, let me remind you that this old gentleman who looks a little out of place is the former vice-captain of the Roger Pirates, the legend of the sea in the old times, Silbaz Reilly, the King of Hades."
"Even if you say so, I won't teach you one more day!" Reilly said, pretending to be dissatisfied.
Adrian smiled, stood up from his seat at the bar, and walked towards the door of the rip-off bar.
"Brother White Ghost, where are you going?"
Xia Qi’s subtext is: Want to leave without paying?
"Let's go make some extra money first." The second update will be in the afternoon
