Chapter 175 Porusalino: I Am Really Not a Daughter-in-Law!
Although the distance from the Holy Land Marie Gioia to the Champagne Islands is not far, it still takes some time if you take an ordinary boat. Porusalino felt it was troublesome and didn't want his "Moyu" to come all the way from Marineland, so he asked the Metal Seadramon on standby in the New World to return as quickly as possible and pick him and Hanku up. The three sisters head to the Chambord Islands.
With the size of Metal Seadramon, four people can not only stretch freely on its head, but if Porusalino is willing, he can also have a barbecue party here with the three sisters.
From being one of the Four Dark Kings who dominated the oceans of the Digimon World to becoming the portable means of transportation it is now, MetalSeadramon is indeed in decline. But then again, the current abjection is better than being killed by the protagonist group according to the original plot.
So sometimes bad things are not necessarily that bad. Thinking about it from another angle, it may be a good thing.
Of course, by the same token, sometimes good things may not be so good. Looking at it from another angle, it may also be a bad thing - for example, the three Hancock sisters, they avoided the butterfly effect caused by Porusalino. They had the tragic fate of becoming slaves to the Celestial Dragons, but at the same time they also lost the three Devil Fruits that they were supposed to eat in the original plot.
Perhaps for Marigold and Sandasonia, the Devil Fruits they ate in the original plot were just ordinary goods, and it would be no big deal to replace them with one, and it might even be better. But for Hancock, the superhuman sweet fruit that is very compatible with her has made her the pirate empress to a certain extent - and if she loses the sweet fruit, she is likely to achieve Not as high as the future self in the original plot.
(So should we give Hancock the more powerful Thunder Fruit? Or should we ask Leander to help find the Sweet Fruit? Or should we simply give her a new Devil Fruit?)
Because there were so many options, Porusalino was a little undecided for a while.
But now is obviously not the time to give him time to think about this problem - Hancock and the other three have just told him about their experience of being captured, which is considered to have talked about what happened before. Now they want to discuss it with Porusalino. Future events and plans.
"Dad, aren't you going to send us directly back to Nine Snakes Island?"
Hancock asked, blinking his big eyes.
"It's brother Porousarino, or uncle Porousalino,"
Porusalino first reluctantly corrected Hancock's statement, and then nodded, "It is certain that I will send you back to Daughter Island, but we have to go to the Shampoo Islands first. There I have to give you I’ll get you some clothes, and then I’ll let you buy some things to take home, and finally I’ll take you to meet someone.”
The three Hancock sisters suffered a lot along the way, and Porusalino couldn't bear to let them go back like this.
"Buy clothes and stuff? But we don't have money, Brother Porusalino."
Said the youngest Marigold, as timid as a little rabbit.
"Is it possible that I can still make you pay?"
Porusalino smiled and shrugged, "Don't worry, I will pay for all the expenses. You can just buy it."
"Uncle Polusalino, who are you taking us to see?"
Sundar Sonia asked curiously.
"He is a very strong pirate. I will entrust him to send you three back to Nine Snakes Island."
(Although I don’t know how Rayleigh met Gu Luoliosa, the former emperor of Amazon Lily, but the relationship between the two seems to be okay. They have always maintained contact information. I also happened to go to meet the coating craftsman. Thunder head...)
"Don't dad plan to see us off himself?"
Hancock looked surprised and disappointed.
"Dad...forget it, dad will be dad...How should I put it? Although your mother Boya and I are old friends, after all, you Nine Snakes prohibit men from entering. If I go there rashly, I will definitely give it to you." She has caused trouble for you; and I am also a marine, so I am naturally at odds with your country’s Nine Snakes Pirates...so I can only say sorry to you, little Hancock."
Porusalino smiled apologetically, touched Hancock's head, and then changed the subject: "But that pirate is a trustworthy person. Not only is he powerful, but he also has a special relationship that can bring you all together." Send back to Daughters Island.”
"Is this so..."
Perhaps because of being touched on the head by Porusalino, Hancock's depressed mood improved a little. But after her two sisters saw Hancock being touched on the head, they instantly showed envious expressions. Seeing this, Porusalino could only touch the heads of the other two little guys.
Well, if you ignore Porusalino's appearance, which is like the male protagonist of an "inward-directed drama", this scene is actually quite cute.
"Speaking of which, Hancock,"
Porusalino suddenly thought of something, so he said, "How about I give it to you?"
"it?"
"That's it, Metal Seadramon,"
Porusalino tapped the Digizoid on Metal Seadramon's head with his foot, "You were attacked by slave traders before, which shows that the two Neptune-like snakes of your Kuja Pirates still can't fully protect you. The safety of the ship. But this guy is different. Not only does he have a keen sense, but he is also very strong. He can protect you well and help you fight against those audacious slave traders..."
(Hancock doesn’t have Sweet Fruit now, so he uses Metal Seadramon as a bodyguard for her first, and then attacks those slave traders who deserve to go to hell... Well, kill two birds with one stone!)
"Is it okay with you, Dad, if you give it to us?"
Little Hancock, who has not yet become the all-powerful empress in the future, asked sensibly.
"No problem, I have travel tools here."
(Dr. Vegapunk’s recent new scientific research results are just right for you to try...)
"Is Metal Seadramon happy?"
"It must be happy, you don't have to worry about that... right, Metal Seadramon?"
"With pleasure, honorable and great master."
Seeing that Metal Seadramon and Porusalino both said this, Hancock showed a big smile, his eyes shining even more:
"Then...thank you, Dad!"
Porusalino seemed to have predicted that in the future, the snake surrounding the empress would no longer be the snake named Salome, but a huge and ferocious metal seadragon.
Thinking about it this way, it’s actually quite touching!
…
Just when Porusalino took the three Hancock sisters to the Shampoo Islands, the annual Day of Gratitude was happening on the New World's Puerto Chibalta Island.
This is a lively town with many ships moored in the harbor. Bars, flower streets, casinos... this place completely attracts the desires of people who live on the sea. Not only pirates, but also legitimately employed passenger ship stewards, and even naval soldiers - in this seaport, they risked their lives and endured a long voyage, and finally received considerable rewards, and they could all be paid in just one week. All wasted on wine and women.
This kind of thing is actually very common. After all, there are too many people who can only live at the bottom throughout their lives. This is their style.
On the Day of Gratitude, the streets of Portozzibalalta are beautifully decorated and illuminated at night. From adults to children, tourists all dressed up and went out to play in the streets. There are services for taking commemorative photos everywhere, and the open-air food stalls in the alleys are next to each other, and no matter which shop they are in, they are crowded with people.
Although the world of pirates is very different from the world before Porusalino traveled, no matter which world it is, the money consumed by people drives the society like this.
"Hey, what's going on with this bad-tasting sparkling wine! This is just piss!"
In a certain casino, in a room covered with tatami, dice gambling was going on.
Most of the people who come in and out here are sailors - pirates or sailors. Today coincides with an important festival like Thank You Day, which is even more grand and grand, so the number of troublemakers has also increased.
"...Why did you lose again! You've been betting against me since just now...You bastard, you must be a cheat!!"
"Colonel, it would be very troublesome for you to cheat, even if you are a naval officer..."
The man who was the manager of the casino tactfully scolded the drunken guests who started to make a fuss. The common insults such as "pee" and "bastard" were fine for them, except for the swindler's yelling one after another. There's no way to sit idly by - if something unexpected happens in the casino, the business will be greatly affected.
But the drunken naval captain was even more furious.
"ah……!"
I feel like things are not ending well, what should I do...
After the worried casino staff made some moves and discussions behind their backs, not long after, another man appeared.
"Colonel, you're in a good mood...did you make a lot of money?"
It's a gorilla.
Wearing a striped suit with exaggerated colors, his muscles are clearly defined, and a gorilla mask for makeup is worn on his head.
"Hey, your name is Oliver! I can't make a penny in your casino!"
Seeing the man in the gorilla mask, the colonel launched into a drunken grumble.
"Hmm...that means you have bad luck today?"
The orangutan man clapped his hands and said, "I will ask you to go back today. You will cause trouble to other guests."
"Huh? What are you talking about to me!"
Unexpectedly, he would be treated so lightly, and the colonel, who was used to being domineering, became even worse.
"Oh, you have accumulated a lot of debt from credit before. Please take this opportunity to pay it off as well~"
The gorilla man, who was not afraid of the colonel, clenched his fists and cracked his knuckles. He wore thick solid gold rings on each finger.
The secretary next to him had already started calculating and issued the bill. After all, it was the result of losing again and again. The figure above was an amount that even the colonel's allowance for several years was not enough to pay.
"What the hell is this!"
"As expected of a captain of the navy, he lost so boldly even when he lost!"
"I don't care! Who would pay for such a fraudulent casino!"
"Colonel, you know whose flag is flying in this city, right?"
The orangutan man reminded with a half-smile.
On the front of the casino, the flag of "Whitebeard Skull" was hung together with the hanging painting - the colonel visibly flinched when he realized this, and then he suddenly remembered something and fired back:
"What happened to the Whitebeard Pirates?! I'm telling you, their good days are over! From..."
boom!
With a loud noise, the gorilla man punched the naval colonel from above who had not finished speaking. With just one blow, the colonel collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.
The glass of sparkling wine in his hand also flew out and hit the ground with a muffled sound.
"Hold him down."
The thick ring made a deep mark on the colonel's cheek, and the bones in his face were twisted and sunken under the blow.
The man took off the gorilla mask, and what was revealed was—well, it was still a gorilla. It looks like a face that is roughly 30% human and 70% orangutan.
Well, it's a bit like Porusalino. If Sakaski saw it, he might even sarcastically say that the two are distant relatives.
"No matter how much you are a naval captain, you can't default on your money in my...Whitebeard's casino! And you actually dare to speak ill of Boss Whitebeard. I'm tired of living!"
Using the colonel's cape embroidered with the word "Justice" to clean his bloody fists, the gorilla, the man named Oliver, gave instructions to his subordinates to deal with this troublesome guest.
Two middle-aged women with big bellies and heavy makeup immediately came to Oliver and handed him the handbags they had kept for the colonel. The handbags were stuffed full of bundles of banknotes.
"Okay~Okay! Very good!"
Just like clapping when worshiping a god, Oliver happily clapped his hands twice.
"It's just a small sideshow that doesn't go on stage~ Today is the annual Big Thank You Day! Please enjoy it and make a lot of money!"
Oliver was happy to be able to teach the naval colonel a lesson and better exploit and corrupt this naval scum, but he did not realize that he had just missed a top-secret piece of information:
The information that Porusalino conveyed to the Navy Headquarters that both the Red-Haired Pirates and the Big Mom Pirates still retain their fighting power indeed made the top leaders of the World Government give up the idea of profiting from the dispute between the two parties. , but this does not mean that the Navy will continue to choose to stop after so long.
After all, it is now the end of the year 1502 of the Haiyuan calendar, and the plan of "The King's Shichibukai" can be said to be more than half successful. As for the "Burning Crusade" and "The Frozen Throne", which are expected to become the main plans of the Navy in the next ten years, it is also time to start preliminary preparations...
In the bar in the back alley, fathers who had sent their families off to join the costume party, as well as some inconspicuous people who had not participated in the festival celebrations, were passing the time here while drinking.
This is an era like this. Whenever idle people get together, the topic will most likely be about pirates.
"It's been two years since the death of Pirate King Roger, and there's still no news about his treasure!"
A skinny gangster in slovenly clothes was sitting at the bar counter, pointing the way as if he was very powerful, "If you ask me, those big pirates and their men are so useless! There are so many of them. Are people worse than the Roger Pirates, who only have a few dozen people?"
"The Roger Pirates are really powerful,"
The man in sunglasses sitting next to this little gangster smiled and affirmed, "So he is the Pirate King, and the others can only be big pirates!"
"Hey, why do you seem to admire Roger so much?"
"Of course, he is my idol. If I go to sea, I will definitely hope to have a captain like him!"
"Hahahaha, what time is it now? Roger and his gang are all dead long ago. You can only have sweet dreams!"
If this little gangster pays more attention to the pirate column of the World Economic News or the reward orders issued by the Navy, then he will definitely find that the man in sunglasses who is talking to him is not an ordinary person, and even It can be said that he is a big shot who can attract the attention of the whole world.
The No. 3 member of the Roger Pirates represents the man of “copper” among “gold, silver, and copper”—Jabba Sparks.
ps: 4.4k! There is a recommendation spot for the book on the 25th, so I’m saving up my manuscripts for more updates! That day was still 20,000 words!
ps: The three Hancock sisters were all very beautiful when they were young. Unfortunately, the second and third sisters became disabled when they grew up after eating devil fruits. . . .
ps: I saw a saying before, Sparkclaw, which made me laugh so hard.
