Eastern Sea, a certain sea area, on the Golden Merryship.
Johnny told Qin Ming the reason why they attacked the ship.
When Johnny brought his partner Joseph to rest behind a rock, Usopp and Luffy, who were on the boat, fired at them, almost blowing them up.
The furious Johnny came to the Golden Merryship to settle the score, but he was defeated by Luffy in one move.
Qin Ming glanced at Joseph who was lying on the deck. His skin was purple, and his complexion was terrible. His teeth had fallen out, and the wounds on his body showed signs of worsening. Pus and blood flowed out, and he looked like he was really going to die.
Johnny's left face had the word 'sea' tattooed on it, while Joseph's face had the word 'thief' tattooed on it. These two were bounty hunters.
After understanding the whole story, Luffy and Usopp, the two main culprits, were so shocked that their mouths were wide open, and cold sweat broke out on their foreheads.
"I'm sorry!"
Luffy and Usopp bowed to Johnny and apologized sincerely.
"It's already happened. Don't take it to heart.”
Johnny sat on the deck, covering his face with one hand. Seeing Joseph's face getting worse, his body trembled slightly due to excessive grief. He said to Luffy and Usopp,"If an apology is enough, why would we need the navy?”
Hearing Johnny's words, more cold sweat appeared on Luffy and Usopp's foreheads. They opened their mouths in a daze, not knowing what to say.
"Joseph is an important partner of mine who has been a bounty hunter for the past few years.”
Johnny's tears flowed down his face, and he asked Sauron,""Big brother, do you think he will die?”
Sauron's expression was heavy. He didn't know whether he should comfort Johnny or not, so he fell silent.
Qin Ming looked around and saw that there were many broken wooden barrels and broken railings on the deck, so he found a hammer and nails.
Clang clang clang!
Qin Ming put the broken pieces of the wooden barrel and the broken railings together with nails to build a simple wooden boat.
"What are you doing?"
Luffy asked Qin Ming.
"Since he's going to die, then prepare a simple sea burial ceremony for him and send him on his last journey.”
Qin Ming answered. He thought that Joseph was an old friend of Sauron, so he could help him with this small matter.
"Thank you. I didn't expect my best partner to die like this.”
Johnny said to Qin Ming with tears streaming down his face.
"You're welcome. This is all I can do.”
Qin Ming had just finished speaking to Johnny when he heard Nami say to him,""Are you an idiot?"
"What did you say? You stupid woman, can't you have a little respect for life?”
Qin Ming said unhappily to Nami. He saw that Johnny was angered by Nami's words. How could she be so cold-blooded?
"That's right, stupid Nami!"
"Idiot Nami!"
"If you talk nonsense again, I'll chop you up!”
Luffy and Wusopp agreed with Qin Ming's words. Even Sauron warned Nami with a stern expression. Joseph was his friend, and he would not allow anyone to insult him when he was about to die.
Bang! Thump! Boom! Bang!
In the blink of an eye, Qin Ming, Luffy, Wusopu, and Zoro were beaten up by Nami.
Johnny wanted to teach Nami a lesson, but before he could say anything, he saw Nami beat up Qin Ming and the others. He was so scared that he froze on the spot.
"The few of you don't know anything and still dare to make your own judgments. This can easily kill people.”
Nami said to Luffy and Usopp,"The two of you go to the kitchen and squeeze the lime into juice. That way, you can cure that person's illness.”
" He had scurvy, which was a disease that made people who sailed despair in the past. However, it was later discovered that the cause of this disease was only a lack of plant-based nutrition. This was caused by people not preparing enough fresh fruits and vegetables when they sailed. As long as he ate more fruits and vegetables, he would be fine.”
Nami explained when she saw Qin Ming and the others 'confused faces.
"Really? Big Sis."
When Johnny heard Nami say that Joseph could be saved, he was so excited that he even called her big sister. This made Nami a little unhappy. She felt that she was being called old.
"You're so amazing, just like a doctor.”
Luffy said to Nami with admiration as he returned with the squeezed lime juice.
"I knew you were a very capable person.”
Usopp had obviously forgotten that he had called Nami an idiot not long ago and was bragging again.
"Aren't you talking about nutritional imbalance? It's not a big deal.”
Qin Ming suddenly realized that this didn't seem to be a particularly serious illness. He was really nervous for nothing.
"If you have the guts to go out to sea, you should know this little common sense! I think you will die sooner or later!"
After Nami shouted at these people who lacked common sense, she turned to Qin Ming and said,""You're a fisherman. You've been out to sea a lot, right? How can you not know about scurvy?”
"I used to fish in the coastal waters and returned to the village on the same day. I've never gone on a long voyage.”
Qin Ming seemed to recall something and said to Nami,""I had been eating fish for nearly a year. I barely ate any vegetables or fruits. I didn't get scurvy.”
"I only eat meat often. I don't like to eat plants, so I've never suffered from scurvy.”
Luffy said to Qin Ming.
Qin Ming and Luffy both laughed and scratched their heads happily, saying in unison,""So our bodies are so good, hahahaha!”
"Shut up, you two freaks can still laugh!”
Nami was going crazy. She really couldn't stand Qin Ming and Luffy's craziness.
"Speaking of which, I'm the same as you guys. I've never had this kind of illness.”
Sauron rubbed his chin and said to Qin Ming and the others.
"That's not strange. Isn't that a natural plant growing on your head?”
Usopp looked at Sauron's green hair and said to him. Qin Ming and Luffy nodded in agreement.
After a moment of silence, Sauron and Qin Ming started to fight.
After a while, Joseph, who had been forced to drink a large amount of lime juice, finally recovered. He would be fine as long as he had a good rest.
After this incident, Luffy decided to find a chef on the sea. This way, everyone could eat delicious food on the ship and solve the problem of balanced nutrition for the people on the ship. It could be said to be killing two birds with one stone.
Johnny, who knew that Luffy and the others wanted to find a chef on the sea, even gave a very good suggestion. He said that they could try to go to the famous restaurants on the sea in the East China Sea to find someone who was willing to be a chef on the pirate ship.
Moreover, this restaurant was very close to the great sea route. Luffy and the others were originally heading there, so it could be said that it was on the way.
Qin Ming also noticed that Solon's expression changed when he heard Johnny say that the man known as Hawkeye was also near the Great Sea Route.
Originally, Qin Ming wanted to ask Sauron what was wrong, but he saw Sauron turn around and grab the handle of the knife at his waist with his right hand. His shoulders were trembling as if he was too excited to control himself.
Looking at Sauron, Qin Ming knew that the man called Hawkeye was extremely important to him.
However, Qin Ming didn't ask any more questions because Sauron had already closed his eyes and entered deep thought.
Just like that, the Golden Mery's course turned slightly to the north, heading toward the restaurant on the sea.
After a day, Qin Ming and the others finally arrived at the famous restaurant on the sea, Balati.
"Brother Sauron! Brother Luffy! Brother Qin Ming! Big Brother Usopp! Brother Nami! We're at the restaurant on the sea!"
Johnny shouted from the boat, calling Qin Ming and the rest out.
After just one day of interaction, Johnny and Joseph knew that Nami should be called big brother. It was too scary.
"What a big fish!"
Luffy saw a large ship with a fish mouth floating on the sea not far away. At first glance, this ship really looked like a fish.
"This boat looks interesting."
Nami seemed to be very interested in this restaurant.
"If this boat is really a big fish, how am I going to catch it?”
Qin Ming stood by the boat and rubbed his chin.
"Don't say anything to spoil the mood, you idiot!”
Nami punched Qin Ming's face.
At this moment, Usopp noticed another ship coming towards them and stopping not far from them.
"Not good, it's a navy ship!"
Usopp saw that the sails on the opposite side were seagulls, and the bright cannons were aimed at them. He panicked."The navy isn't going to shoot at us, are they?”
"When did they arrive?"
Luffy looked at the navy ship and asked in confusion.
"This is the first time I've been so close to a navy ship. I wonder if I can throw the cannon back when they shoot at me.”
Qin Ming recalled the first time he saw Nami, escaping from that fat woman Arita's boat. When he left on the small wooden boat, he was chased by several navy warships and was bombarded. He immediately felt very unhappy.
"Why don't we just cut down the cannonballs that are flying over?”
Sauron said to Qin Ming.
When Johnny and Joseph saw the navy ship, they hid behind it.
"I don't think I've seen your pirate flag before.”
A man with light pink hair and a scar on the right side of his face appeared on the bow of the navy ship. He was wearing an iron finger cot and shouted at Qin Ming and the others,"I am the captain of the navy headquarters, Iron Fist Hobday. Who is the captain?”
"My name is Luffy. The pirate flag was recently hung up.”
"I'm Usopp. I was the one who drew the pirate flag.”
Luffy and Usopp scrambled to speak to Hopodi, leaving Qin Ming speechless.
He was just a captain from the navy headquarters. Although he was from the headquarters, Qin Ming felt that this guy was not even as good as Colonel Monca from the naval base in Shields Town. He couldn't be bothered with him.
"Who are you? I've never heard of you, but I've seen the two over there.”
Hobodi did not look at Luffy and Usopp anymore. He turned his gaze to Johnny and Joseph, who were hiding behind him, and said disdainfully,""I remember that the two of you seem to be bounty hunters who specialize in catching small pirates. Have you finally been caught by pirates?”
"Hey, Joseph, this brother is provoking us.”
"Yeah, I heard him say that we specialize in catching small pirates. Although I don't do things that don't benefit me, I think we should teach this arrogant guy a lesson. What do you think, Johnny?”
After Johnny and Joseph finished speaking, they pulled out the knives hanging on their waists and issued a challenge to Hobodi.
30 seconds later, Johnny and Joseph were beaten black and blue by Hobodi and returned to the Golden Meryl. This made Qin Ming completely embarrassed. To think that these two people said that they had been with Sauron before. The difference in strength was too obvious.
"The two of you really suck."
Luffy said to Johnny and Joseph who were lying on the deck.
"No, he's too strong."
"That guy's strength is about the same as the two of us.”
Johnny and Joseph were still stubborn and refused to admit that they were inferior to Hobday. Around them, there were many pirate bounties that attracted Nami's attention.
Qin Ming glanced at Hobodi, who was on the navy ship opposite them. He didn't lose a single hair and was still standing elegantly. Then, he looked at Johnny and Joseph, who had been beaten into a pig's face and had a nosebleed. It was a stark contrast.
"Hobody, stop bullying the weak. Let's go.”
A pretty girl grabbed Hobdi's hand and spoke to him in a coquettish tone. When Qin Ming heard the woman's voice, he almost vomited on Nami.
F * ck, we didn't do anything on the ship, and in the end, we were labeled as weaklings. Isn't this a scam?
Although Qin Ming didn't think he was very strong, he was absolutely confident that he wouldn't lose to Hobdi. He could even finish off Hobdi in two moves.
"You guys are lucky. I'm on vacation today and I'm just here to eat. When I go on a mission, you have to be careful. The next time I meet you, you will definitely die.”
Hobodi waved his knuckle-covered fist at Qin Ming and the others, then walked away with the girl in his arms.
"Fortunately, he rolled away quickly. Otherwise, he would have died.”
Qin Ming pursed his lips and saw Nami squatting down with a pirate bounty in her hand. His expression was very ugly. Just as he was about to ask what had happened, he heard Usopp say,"This is bad. The navy's ships have their cannons aimed at us.”
"Sinking that ship is an eyesore.”
When Hobodi left with the girl in his arms, he gave Qin Ming and the others a thumbs-down gesture, which was clearly seen by Qin Ming.
F * ck, that captain of the Navy was really despicable. He said that he was on vacation, and it seemed like he didn't want to fight anymore. But when he turned around, he ordered people to attack with cannons.
Qin Ming truly felt that Hobodi was a two-faced man, and that he was playing a dirty trick.
Boom! Boom!
Two cannonballs flew towards the Golden Merryship.
"The navy really opened fire on us!”
Usopp shouted in panic.
"Leave it to me. Look at my rubber slingshot!”
Luffy was the first to jump up. He extended his left and right arms and used his body to block the incoming cannonballs. He grabbed the bizarre pole on the boat with one hand and the bow of the boat with the other.
"Then leave this to me."
Qin Ming stopped Sauron, who was about to pull out his sword to cut another cannonball. He thought it would be better to throw the cannonball back to the other party to avoid wasting it.
Chi!
The fishing line shot out from the fishing line launcher on Qin Ming's left wrist accurately stuck to the oncoming shell.
When Qin Ming wanted to throw the cannonball that was stuck to the fishing line onto the navy ship opposite, an accident happened.
It turned out that when Luffy used the rubber slingshot to block the shell, he was hit by the shell and flew backwards. His extended right hand didn't hold the bow of the ship firmly and loosened up. With this, he only held the ship's strange pole and suddenly turned 90 degrees, crashing into Qin Ming on the other side.
Before Qin Ming could throw the cannonball that was stuck to the fishing line, Luffy suddenly bumped into him, sending him flying towards the navy ship along with the cannonball. The cannonball that was shot out by Luffy landed on the sea restaurant Barati.
Bang! Bang!
Two loud explosions sounded in succession.
Hobdi, who was planning to board the restaurant on the sea by boat, saw that not only was the restaurant on the sea bombarded, but even his own boat was also bombed. He immediately asked angrily,"What's going on?"
"Captain, a person flew over with a cannonball. We are dealing with it.”
A marine soldier stood by the boat and saluted Hobday who was on the boat.
"What nonsense is this? Are those pirates playing a suicide attack?”
When Hobday heard the navy's report, he thought that someone on the pirate's flag ship was attacking their ship with a cannonball. He didn't mind and said to the soldier,"Before I come back from dinner, you have to do your job well.”
After saying that, Hobodi continued to pick up girls.
Five minutes later.
"What should we do? Qin Ming flew to the navy ship.”
Usopp's legs trembled as he looked at the navy ship opposite him and said to Sauron and Nami.
"That guy didn't ask us for help. He won't be a problem by himself, ignore him.”
Sauron yawned and sat with his back against the railing, as if he wanted to sleep.
Nami's expression was very strange and she didn't say anything. Johnny and Joseph, who were not far away, clearly sensed the change in Nami and didn't dare to make a sound.
At this moment, Qin Mingzheng looked at the navy soldiers surrounding him. He had said that as long as he left, everything that happened before would be over.
Who knew that the navy would say that Qin Ming had used artillery shells to attack them. It was clearly a provocation to the navy. Moreover, Qin Ming was a pirate. How could they let him leave so easily?
F * ck, your navy used cannons to attack us, but I didn't even settle the score with you. You guys, on the count of one, two, three, I became a bad person who committed a heinous crime.
Qin Ming saw that the navy had no intention of letting him go, so he stopped talking nonsense. He took out the fishing rod on his arm and extended it, ready to beat someone up.
What surprised Qin Ming the most was that he also saw a comrade who was captured on this navy ship. He looked like he had dry lips and was extremely weak. It seemed that he had been deprived of water and food for several days. However, his eyes revealed a tenacious will to survive.
