Chapter 4 A Girl Three Years Older Than a Brick of Gold
Fez Town
Bazel took out several crumpled thousand-dollar share bills from his wallet, spoils he had plundered from the redeemers.
"Two servings of omelet rice, a glass of orange juice, and a glass of... um."
Just as he was about to order himself another drink, for some reason, Bazel suddenly felt a longing in his heart.
That was a craving for alcohol.
"Another glass of ale, please."
As expected, Devil Fruits influence the preferences of those who consume them.
Before today, Bazel had never touched a drop of alcohol, partly due to his age and the care he received from Sengoku.
On the other hand, he also had no interest in it.
But after eating the Mythical Zoan Devil Fruit, this desire suddenly arose.
Memories of Yamata no Orochi resurfaced...
Bazel remembered that this great monster seemed to be addicted to alcohol in the biographical stories.
"that……"
A careful but gentle voice came from beside me.
"Thank you for saving my life. I misunderstood you just now."
When Tianyue said this, her face turned slightly red, and her eyes showed a shy embarrassment.
After the battle, Bazel demonstrated his physical strength.
The purpose, of course, is to deepen the impression Tianyue left on me.
Carrying Tianyue in a princess carry, they traversed mountains and valleys until they arrived at this small town.
After a long and fast journey, and noticing the man's steady breathing, Tengetsu naturally understood what was going on.
"I'm so sorry, I've made you unable to swim."
"She's so gentle~"
Amatsuki was stunned: "What?"
"I said you have a very gentle personality, a rare type on the high seas."
Bazel spoke frankly, resting one cheek on his hand and winking at the girl.
"I was just about to set sail. Would you like to come with me if you don't mind?"
Tian Yue's cheeks puffed out slightly, and her words carried a hint of girlish coquettishness:
"You're only nineteen, right? I'm already twenty-six. You should add the honorific 'older sister' after your name."
Perhaps because of the recent crisis, coupled with her gentle nature, Amatsuki Shi treated Bazel with more affection.
"I don't care about age. It would be really fun to sail with Gentle Sister."
Before the dishes were served, Bazel looked at Amatsuki with a hint of a smile in his eyes.
"What gentle older sister? You're such a chatterbox."
Even so, all Bazel saw on Amezuki's face was coquettishness and a smile.
There's a saying in my hometown: "A woman three years older than her husband is like a golden brick."
"You're seven years older than me, which is practically three gold bricks. I've struck gold!"
"Here's your order, gentlemen."
Just then, the dishes were served, and Tenzuki Toki handed a plate of omelet rice to Bazel.
"Eat your food quickly. Stop talking so slickly. Do you talk to other girls like that?"
coming!
This is a life-or-death question!
If you say yes at this point, your impression score will definitely be reduced by 90%!
But who is Bazeir?
Scoop up a spoonful of rice mixed with ketchup and egg pieces and stuff it into your mouth.
"No, it's just that you're so cute, Shi, that's why I couldn't help myself. I used to be very introverted."
"Oh, sorry, can I call you Shi?"
Without waiting for Tianyue's reply, Bazel swallowed the food in his mouth, scratched the back of his head with his left hand, and grinned sheepishly.
"After the battle we just had, we're friends now, right? Calling me by my full name would feel too formal."
Tian Yueshi buried her head in her food, her ears turning pink, and muttered, "Whatever."
Although he said those words, his mind was in turmoil.
As a member of the Tianyue clan eight hundred years ago, she had never encountered such a shameless man!
In addition, Wano Country has a strict system, and she is a lady from a prominent family. Neither samurai nor commoners dare to speak to her like that, let alone joke with her.
"I didn't notice anything introverted about you during the fight just now."
"Battle is battle, and daily life is daily life."
After ordering three servings of omelet rice again, Bazel picked up his wine glass and took a sip.
"But I still have to thank you. That fruit is a very powerful Devil Fruit. Thanks to you, I was able to obtain this power."
As the conversation turned to serious matters, the blush on Tianyue Shi's face quickly faded.
"What are your plans next, Lord Bazel?"
"That's an awkward way to address me. Just call me Bazel."
Bazel put down his empty glass, shouted for more wine, then turned to Tianyue and smiled:
"I'm looking for a man, and as for what happens after that..."
"I've always wanted to visit Wano Country."
The country of Wano!
Tengetsu hurriedly wiped the grease off her lips and looked at Bazel with shining eyes.
"Do you really want to go and see Wano Country?"
My mind quickly conjured up images of Tengetsu's performance in the original work.
He remembered that it was precisely because Kozuki Oden was from Wano Country that Amagi Toki agreed to board Whitebeard's pirate ship with him.
"That's right. I've heard that place has a long history, and I've always wanted to go and see it."
Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Tian Yueshi's beautiful eyes narrowed into crescent moons.
"Then please guide me. With such a strong partner like you by my side, I'm sure we'll be able to reach Wano Country successfully this time!"
"After you finish eating, we'll find a boat and then set off for Wano Country!"
"no problem."
Bazel verbally agreed, but in reality, he didn't even know where Wano Country was.
His cheap uncle didn't give him the permanent log pointer for Wano Country.
Moreover, his primary task is to find Kaido.
He hadn't forgotten the mission called Twilight.
They went to Wano Country simply because the Beasts Pirates would definitely reach that closed ancient country in the future.
If he really can't find Kaido, Bazel can only try to go to Wano Country first and then wait there for Kaido and his group to arrive.
As for the time of the moon and sky...
Bazeir swore it was a truly unexpected delight.
In the original work, Toki Amatsuki did not steal the Orochi Fruit from Higurashi Kurozumi.
This is definitely another storm generated by the butterfly effect.
Is this a newcomer protection period, a newcomer gift from the world's will?
Did God not allow Kozuki Momonosuke to be born?
Just then, a thick red light flashed in Bazel's eyes.
Leaving aside his rice scoop and enough Bailey to cover the cost of the meal, Bazel suddenly grabbed Tengetsu and strode outside.
"What's wrong, Mr. Bazel?"
"Many powerful auras have arrived on the island. I'm quite curious about just how strong the experts in the new world really are."
Bazel's eyes gleamed with excitement; his previous battle with the Octopus Pirates had been a complete rout.
The stats of the Yamata no Orochi are so abnormal that its venom is something that ordinary weaklings simply cannot withstand.
……
Meanwhile, on the edge of the island --
"Newgate!"
boom--!!
The spiked club and the naginata collided.
"Gurararara, you little apprentice, is this how you greet your seniors?"
"Hehehe, Newgate, I'm a captain now! There's no such thing as a senior pirate!"
Heat!
Kaido, transformed into a giant dragon, spewed out a beam of condensed fire.
"Airquake!"
After the second collision, both of them took a step back.
"Mr. Kaido!"
At this moment, King, who had not yet put on his mask, saw Kaido retreat and his eyes instantly turned furious. The flames floating behind Black Wings suddenly surged.
"You bastard, how dare you attack Mr. Kaido!"
"Wait until Ash!"
"That man is not someone you can handle, and this is just a way we greet each other."
Kaido, now in his dragon form, pressed down on King's shoulder and looked at Whitebeard.
"You came here because of that scent from this morning, right?"
"Give him to me, Newgate. I owe you a favor this time!"
"My pirate crew is short of members, and that guy is the partner I've got my eye on!"
"Gurarara~~!"
The white-bearded man suddenly threw his head back and laughed wildly. After the laughter subsided, a violent aura burst forth.
"Who do you think I am, you little brat!"
boom---
The clash of Conqueror's Haki caused the clouds to churn!
"When I ruled the seas, you were trembling in fear because of that bastard Shiki. Get out of Kaido's way, or I'll make sure you sink to the bottom of the ocean this time!"
"That guy is the son I've chosen!!"
Kaido took a half step back, his expression changing slightly.
Oh no!
The clash of Conqueror's Haki allows no room for error; if he retreats, he will lose the battle.
Just then, a slightly deep male voice came from behind.
"This is really a headache. Can't you consider the residents living on this island?"
"Even if you are free pirates, this kind of reckless behavior makes you no different from trash."
"Atoning ones, go forth."
