Chapter 38 Travel Route
"Oh? You know me?"
The petal old man Kurokas was carrying a harpoon gun, looking at the blond young man on the deck.
This is a young man with a well-proportioned figure and an extremely handsome appearance. His blond hair is casually scattered behind his ears, with only one strand hanging down to his forehead. He is wearing a well-fitting black refined suit, and he looks at himself leisurely with his hands in his pockets.
"The tower guard of Twin Gorges, it's strange if you don't know?" Victor smiled slightly, turned to Robin and said, "We're going to stop the boat and dock, everyone get off the boat."
The Berger docked firmly on the shore of the lighthouse. After everything was parked, everyone disembarked along with Victor and came to the towerkeeper's house.
"Wow~ Why is this place called Twin Gorges?" Perona put up a pergola and looked at the sea in the distance. The towerkeeper's house was located on a low hillside, with a very wide view.
Robin pointed to the other side of the Grand Line's sea channel: "Because there are two identical lighthouses here, it is called 'Twin Gap'. However, because the profession of 'Twin Gap Tower Keeper' is too dangerous, there is only one keeper all year round. Tower people will only light one of the lighthouses."
Kurokas put the chairs and round table that had been kicked over by the 'Rhinoceros Bill' gang in front of the tower guard's house back to their original positions, thumped his waist and sat on the recliner, and said slowly: "Is your intelligence officer very idle? ? Even Shuangzixia has investigated it so clearly."
He breathed a sigh of relief and looked at Victor sharply: "So, you are the leader of the West Sea gang who defeated the 'Shichibukai', right? 'Vicious Chain' Mafia Victor, I didn't expect you to come so soon. Now that we have arrived at the Grand Line, everyone is guessing that you are going to use the fame of defeating the 'King Shichibukai' in the West Sea to gather your men and form a huge force before marching into the Grand Line. I didn't expect that you would just bring such a few girls with you. Here we go... Son, are you watching the Grand Line? This is not a place to play house!"
"What are you talking about, you bald old ghost..." Perona was furious, but was stopped by Wu Hongji.
Victor pulled out a chair, sat opposite Kurokas, and said with a smile: "Perona, don't be impulsive. Although Mr. Kurokas' words are a bit direct, he is sincerely admonishing us... I take it with my heart." . But now that I'm here, I don't plan to cross the windless zone and roll back to the West Sea in despair. Although I am not a pirate, I am still very interested in visiting this 'Pirate Paradise'. So, click here Come on, we will be responsible for the daily supplies during your stay."
He turned to look at Wu Hongji: "Wu, let's eat on the shore tonight."
With a flick of Victor's finger, a 'guide zipper' flew to the hull of the Beagle.Then, a zipper opened wide, and several zipper tentacles took out several boxes of supplies from the zipper space and put them on the shore.
Wu Hongji walked into the kitchen and started working on the evening meal. Seeing that Victor had something to talk to the old man with petals, Perona and Robin also walked into the kitchen to help Wu Hongji.
Kurokas watched several ladies enter the Tower Keeper's House, then turned to look at Victor, his eyes full of ridicule: "They are all good girls, but... which one is yours?"
As he said that, the old man gave a thumbs up obscenely.
Victor half leaned on the chair and stretched, and said relaxedly: "One is a younger sister, one is a partner, and the other is a secretary. So, none of them. Don't get entangled in such boring issues, let's talk about it." business."
He sat up straight and asked in a serious tone: "Mr. Kurokas, are you interested in serving as the ship's doctor on my ship?"
The old man lay directly on the reclining chair, and said lazily: "Forget about my old bones, and I am only a rough doctor, so I can't be a ship's doctor."
Victor was not annoyed at being rejected in such a perfunctory manner, and laughed loudly: "Haha! Although I know the result, I still want to try after all... Is it really not possible? Fate can't be forced, haha! Kuluoka Mr. Si, you don't have to let that island whale continue to hide, I won't hurt it."
Kulocas raised his eyebrows and was secretly surprised. He had already let Rab hide on the bottom of the sea, and this could still be discovered?
Could it be that he is domineering?
But judging from this guy's attitude, there shouldn't be any problem. Kurokas walked to the shore and made strange noises.
"Booooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo"
After a while, the sea surface in the distance slowly swelled up, and then a huge whale rushed out of the sea surface, revealing half of its scarred head.
“BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!”
The roar of the whale was deafening, and then its huge round eyes looked at Victor in front of the tower guard's house, full of curiosity.
And Victor rested his elbows on the table, resting his chin on one hand and looked at the island whale Rab with interest, with a hint of wish satisfaction in his eyes.He has long wanted to see this whale, which has a deep relationship with the comic protagonist team.
Comics are comics, and the real whale Raab is indeed quite shocking. The sea beasts in the Western Sea are only as big as ships even if they appear in human sight, and the eyes of this island whale are as big as a ship.
As soon as Perona came out of the house with the brewed tea, she was almost frightened by Rab and knocked off the tea set in her hand, and summoned a large group of explosive ghosts to attack, and was persuaded by Victor for a while.
That night, in this tower-keeper's house that had been lonely all year round, Wu Honghime presented everyone with a Wano dinner that was not particularly sumptuous but had a strong exotic flavor.
The meaty vinegar-marinated mackerel, the golden and crispy fried squid tempura, the delicate tamagoyaki, the refreshing wasabi octopus, and the grilled cod with rich sauce are not luxurious and rich, but the presentation is very careful.
At the dinner table, Kurokas tasted the squid tempura, and gave a thumbs up to Hongji Chaowu: "Good craftsmanship! Whoever marries you in the future will be blessed!"
Wu Hongji glanced at Victor, covered her cheeks shyly and twisted back and forth on the seat: "I am not ready to get married yet..."
Perona looked at Mai Hongji who was in drama queen mode with disdain. She took a chopstick of Tamagoyaki and put it into her mouth. She was instantly filled with happiness: "It's so sweet~ It's delicious~"
Robin's attention was more focused on the head of the island whale standing quietly on the sea outside the window. Thousands of words turned into one emotion in my heart - so cute!
Victor and Kurokas picked up large glasses of beer and chatted over the appetizers on the table. The awkward atmosphere before had long since disappeared, and the atmosphere at the table was now very harmonious.
"Hiccup! So, you want to choose a suitable route from the seven routes?" Kurokas looked tipsy, raised his glass and took a big sip, then picked up a chopstick of Tamagoyaki and threw it into his mouth. Chewing said: "Then you really asked the right person... delicious! But I have to ask first, do you have any requirements for the route?"
Victor nodded, a zipper appeared in the palm of his hand, and then a permanent pointer emerged from it: "My destination is the Magic Triangle sea area, and at the same time I hope to recruit ship doctors and boatmen."
Kurokas crossed his shoulders and thought about it, then slowly said: "The seven routes all lead to the Magic Triangle Sea, you don't have to worry about that. As for doctors, the 'Medical Power' Winter Island Drum Kingdom is full of skilled doctors .”
Kulocas took a sip of his wine and continued: "But there is a strange rumor recently that the newly succeeded king of the Drum Kingdom, Walpo, has formulated a strict policy as soon as he ascended the throne, and will have capable and famous doctors I don’t know if it’s true or not that they drove all of them out of the kingdom, leaving only 0 doctors to serve them in the palace.”
Drum Kingdom... Calculate the timeline, has it really started? Victor shook his head: "Forget it about the Drum Kingdom. I'll go there if I have time in the future. Do you have any other recommendations?"
Kurokas smiled: "Haha, you are really arrogant. You don't want to deal with Valpo? OK, then I have another recommendation - Baishan Town on Chukilik Island. There are rumors that there is a mysterious doctor living in seclusion there. As long as you can find him, no matter how difficult the disease is, it won’t be a problem!”
"Baishan Town... where is the boatman? Is there a suitable candidate?"
"Haha, we happen to be on the same route. Have you heard of the Water City? There is the world's number one shipbuilder there, and he is a well-known man! But I heard that he has been busy with a big project in recent years... Anyway, you can go there and try your luck.”
"Thank you, Mr. Kulocas!" Victor raised his glass.
"No, I want to thank you, I haven't attended such a warm banquet for a long time, thank you."
The two wine glasses touched each other.
The next day.
On the shore of the Twin Gorges Lighthouse, Victor and his party bid farewell to Kurokas.
"Has the record pointer been marked?" Kulocas asked with concern.
Perona glanced at the chart, and then at the recording pointer on her wrist: "No problem~ woohooooooo~~ The pointer points to the same as the chart!"
Kulocas nodded: "Since you have chosen the route of Baishan Town, the first stop will be Tanar Town, which is a tourist attraction, so have fun!"
Victor shook hands with Kulocas: "Let's go, Mr. Kulocas."
After bidding farewell, the Beagle sailed slowly under the watchful eyes of Kulocas and Whale Raab, and gradually disappeared on the sea level.
Kurokas folded his shoulders and said to himself:
"What an extraordinary man... This sea is going to be lively. Isn't it? Rab?"
