Chapter 248 Don’t you have a boat?
After the first meeting that completely challenged Luo's world view.
Under the leadership of Storm, another simple yet sumptuous banquet was held in the Sky Courtyard.
This is also an old tradition of the Storm Pirates.
As soon as a new member joins the group, Storm will call on everyone to hold a "team building" activity.
The most basic form of pirate team-building activities is-a banquet!
The atmosphere at the banquet was harmonious.
The relationship between the other members of the Storm Pirates and Luo and Beibo quickly became closer.
Everyone gradually understood Luo's general situation.
“Are you also a member of the ‘D clan’? There is also a ‘D clan’ in our pirate group!”
"Pirate Captain? Who isn't! Everyone here has a pirate group!"
"This is the captain's rule! The captain said that the future of the Storm Pirates is the 'Storm Ship Group'!" What's the name of your pirate group? "
"Heart Pirates? Hahahaha! We just have a 'Spade Pirates' here!"
"Hearts and Spades? ? It’s just like the suits in playing cards! It’s a pity that we don’t have diamonds and clubs here.”
Everyone was enjoying the banquet and talking loudly.
As everyone got to know Luo more and more, everyone realized -
This new "ship doctor" seemed to have many similar characteristics to Ace.
At this time.
Luo is also constantly improving his understanding of the "Storm Pirates".
From Luo's initial impression, the "Storm Pirates" are a very young and energetic pirate group.
Including the skeleton he saw before - Brooke.
Although Brooke's "bone age" is very old, his mentality is very young, and he also has a lot of musical skills.
The Storm Pirates are really an interesting pirate group...
Luo thought in his heart.
While everyone was enjoying the banquet.
Robin walked quietly to Storm's side and whispered the report to him.
“Captain, Dr. Gaji contacted me before and claimed that the 'Germa Auction' is about to be held. This auction still lacks a 'final auction item' that is heavy enough."
< br>Robin did not elaborate on the so-called "big auction item", but her meaning couldn't be simpler -
Devil Fruit!
To be precise, it was the "special bait" that Storm had asked Vinsmoke Gaji to throw into the North Sea - [Fruit of Silence].
but.
[Fruit of Silence] has been given to Luo by Storm.
It is impossible for Storm to take the [Fruit of Silence] back from Luo's hands just because of a word from Vinsmoke Gaji.
“That Dr. Gaji.”
Storm pondered for a moment and then asked.
"How has he been doing recently?"
"He has always been 'cooperative'."
Robin smiled softly.
"And according to my secret observation, Dr. Gaji has never made any small moves."
Due to a special childhood experience.
Robin has a very deep understanding of words like "betrayal" and "betrayal".
During the period of "borrowing" the Kingdom of Germa, Robin's daily life was not only reading and entertaining, but also monitoring the movements of the Vinsmoke family.
Robin's [Flower Fruit] has a fairly good function in intelligence detection - this is all due to her good development.
Under the long-term observation of Robin, a very good intelligence officer.
Almost nothing in the Kingdom of Germa can escape her "eyes and ears".
To be fair.
In Robin's opinion.
Vinsmoke Gaji, as the king of a country that joins the World Government, can take such "care" of pirates like them, which is quite difficult.
“He knows what’s interesting.”
Storm sneered. He was always not afraid to speculate on Vinsmoke Gaji with the worst possible malice.
But it doesn’t matter whether the other party is sincere or fake.
As long as Gaji can honestly cooperate with Storm's request.
At least until the treatment of Bonnie's "Jade Scale" disease is completed.
Storm would never do anything to Vinsmoke Gaji.
He stretched out his right hand, reached towards Iqi who was standing aside, and took out a treasure box from the body of the big black dog.
"This contains a devil fruit."
Ström opened the treasure box and showed Robin the secret treasure of the sea contained inside.
“Animal type [Blunt Tail Monster Fruit], if you have time later, give it to Vinsmoke Gaji!
“This [Blunt Tail Poison Fruit] Lizard Fruit], it can be regarded as the 'rent' we paid for being stationed in the Kingdom of Germa for a long time! ”
Storm handed the [Silence Fruit] to Luo, but there were many other devil fruits in his hand.
For the sake of Gaji's always being so active and cooperative.
Storm wouldn’t mind using an animal devil fruit to appease this “Germa 66’s strange bird”.
Moreover.
[Blunt Tail Gila Fruit] is just an ordinary animal-type devil fruit.
This kind of devil fruit, even if it is placed in Storm's personal treasure house, he feels that it takes up space!
"That's so generous, Captain."
Robin took the treasure box containing the [Blunt Tail Monster Fruit] and carefully collected it.
"I will give this devil fruit to Dr. Gaji later."
"Yes."
Storm nodded lightly, and then said.
"Enjoy the banquet first!"
The happy banquet time is always short.
It seems that in just a blink of an eye, the banquet in the sky courtyard has come to an end.
On the sea, banquets are the best way to bring pirates closer together. Just a banquet.
Luo Ben initially integrated into the Storm Pirates group.
The attitude of several male members towards him was not as "gentle" as before.
"How enviable! You kid!"
Kid had just drank a lot of wine, and his face was almost redder than his hair.
“There is actually a ship! It’s a ship! Damn it!”
"Don't call me 'kid'! You 'kid'!"
Luo didn't mind Kidd's sharp attitude at all. He just showed the opponent his right middle finger.
“Didn’t we just report our ages? I’m older than you!”
“Everyone will grow up sometimes!”
Ace was also waving aside Holding the big bone stick, he said with a hint of envy.
"But you have a ship now! And it's a submarine! It sounds cool!"
"Isn't it just a ship..."
Luo said to Ace and Key De's attitude was somewhat incomprehensible.
"Don't you have a ship? You are also a 'pirate captain'!"
As soon as these words came out, it seemed to hit Ace and Kidd's Achilles heel.
Brooke's strange laughter came from the side.
"Yo ho ho ho! Luo."
Brooke said with a strange smile.
"Although I once had a ship, I don't have one now! It's not just me, the entire fleet doesn't have a ship!
"Speaking of which, your 'Polar Ship' "The Diver" should be the first pirate ship of our "Storm Ship Group"! ”
Hearing this, Luo was stunned on the spot.
No, without a ship, what kind of "big ship group" do you still call yourself?
How can I be a pirate if I don’t have a boat? ?
“Don’t listen to Brooke’s nonsense!”
Storm finally couldn’t help but intervene in the topic, he emphasized seriously.
"Is a pirate ship such an inconvenient thing? Look at the 'Sky Garden' below! It is the 'main ship' of our Storm Pirates!"
"This statement is too cunning. , Captain!”
“The Sky Garden can fly, but can it sail?”
“There should be no pirate group in the world that uses ‘islands’ as ships.”
Amidst all the condemnation, Perona’s laughter seemed so special.
"Hehehehe! A bunch of ignorant guys! Why can't the island be used as a ship?"
Perona took the initiative to talk about her last pirate group.
"The Horrible Barque Pirates! This pirate group uses the 'Terror Barque' as a pirate ship!"
The Horrible Barque is located in the Devil's Triangle. That was one of the restricted areas of the Grand Line.
Most of the people present have never been to the Grand Line, let alone what a "terrible barque" is.
Only Robin and Brooke expressed support for Perona's statement.
Just when everyone was discussing the topic of "Pirates".
Storm couldn't help but fall into thinking.
His own demand for the existence of a "pirate ship" is not high.
First is the Blue Eyes White Dragon.
Next is the floating island.
There are so many ways for Storm to cross the sea.
But he can fly, but the other crew members can't...
'Build a pirate ship? Or... just grab a pirate ship? Driving a warship seems to be a good idea...'
Ström buried some dangerous thoughts in his heart.
At the end of the banquet, everyone was full of wine and food.
Storm promptly raised the "challenge" Luo mentioned before.
“Our ‘ship doctor’ wants to see my strength.”
Storm looked around and said calmly.
"Besides Luo, is there anyone else who wants to play together?"
As soon as these words came out.
The members of the Storm Pirates immediately looked at Luo.
"Challenge the captain? Are you serious?"
"I originally thought that 'ship doctor' was a very weak profession, but Luo, you have simply overturned my perception!"
< br>"Luo, you are the real hero!"
"Count me in!"
"Count me in!"
Ace, Kidd and Kira were the first to respond to Storm's invitation.
Opportunities to challenge the captain are rare.
“If the captain doesn’t mind, I also want to join the battle, yo ho ho ho!”
Brooke followed suit and chose to participate in this challenge.
Robin and Perona simply refused to fight.
The latter also grabbed Bebo's ears and dragged the polar bear out of the fighting circle.
What surprised Storm was that Nami, who he originally thought would avoid the battle, actually joined in after hesitating for a while.
Nami took a deep breath and said with firm eyes.
"I also want to challenge the captain!"
"Hahaha..."
Storm let out a burst of laughter, and his figure was also in this shocking laughter. Constantly expanding and changing.
A huge red dragon appeared above the sky courtyard.
The Sekiryuutei's golden pupils scanned the entire scene, and the invisible dragon's power filled the surroundings.
"Then let's come together!"
