After leaving the tavern, Fang Lang was not in a hurry to look for Sauron. He first found a clothing store and bought a black top hat. Then, he carried the paper bag of fried rice and prepared to go to the naval drill ground.
He didn't expect to meet Luffy and Corby on the way, and there was a little girl beside them.
Fang Lang had seen this little girl before in the tavern. She was the daughter of that young woman.
Fang Lang hid in a small alley at the side and did not meet them.
"What a headache ~ That girl Nami wasted so much of my time. From the looks of it, Luffy had already met Sauron, right?”Fang Lang rubbed his nose in distress, but he soon felt relieved."Forget it, there's still some time before Solon agrees to Luffy. Let's settle him in this period of time." Otherwise…I'll build a pirate group by myself?”
After watching Luffy and the other two leave, Fang Lang adjusted his suit and hat and walked out of the alley.
Navy Drill Ground.
Under the scorching sun, Sauron was tied to a cross stake. The scorching sun mercilessly tortured his skin. Three weeks ago, in order to save a little girl, he had agreed to Berumeber's joking condition.
They were tied to a cross stake and did not eat or drink for a month. If they survived, they would forgive everyone for their offense.
Berumeber was the son of Colonel Monca, and Monca was the highest commander of this naval base. To put it bluntly, he was the local tyrant here.
Sauron was not afraid of this, but he could not resist. Once he did, no one knew what would happen to the little girl. Perhaps she would be treated even worse.
I'm so hungry…
After suffering for three weeks, his body and mind had reached their limits.
About ten minutes ago, the little girl had sent over the rice ball that Berumeber had caught and trampled on, and he had eaten the dusty thing. He had thought that it would alleviate his hunger, but he had not expected it to stimulate his stomach.
He was even hungrier…
"Do you want to eat?"
Suddenly, a tempting voice sounded beside him.
"Why is it…"
Sauron raised his head impatiently. He thought he would see a man wearing a straw hat, but this time, it was a completely different person.
He was wearing a suit, tie, leather shoes, and a top hat. He was also holding a packet of fragrant Egg Fried Rice in his hand.
"You must be hungry. Do you want to eat this? I just bought it." the man said.
"Who are you?" Solon narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.
"Me? My name is Fang Lang, and I'm a pirate." The man held the Egg-Fried Rice in his hand and sniffed it pretentiously.
" Another one... What day is it today..." Solon said a little angrily. These people were like tourists who came to see monkeys, although he felt this way when he was tied up here.
"You'd better not have anything to do with me.”
"That won't do. It wasn't easy for me to find you after many twists and turns.”Fang Lang revealed a helpless expression and said,""I heard that you're a swordsman. I want to invite you to be a pirate with me. How about it? Are you happy?”
"Get lost!"
Fang Lang saw a pair of beast-like eyes, sharp and dangerous, filled with oppression.
"Not bad, very good. I like your gaze very much. However, it's useless for you to glare at me. I won't give up. Why don't I untie you and fill your stomach before we talk? See how well I've prepared? I've brought you all the food."
Fang Lang teased, but his tone was serious.
"Stop dreaming! I won't be your gang. Don't waste your time and get lost.”
"What's wrong with being a pirate?"
"Pirates are evil. Who would follow you to be a pirate?”
"Oh?" Fang Lang smiled, and his tone suddenly became low." Everyone has a reason to do something. I have it, and you definitely have it too. Your eyes won't betray you. They're not the eyes of ordinary people. There must be something supporting you.”
"Hmm?"
"I heard you haven't eaten for three weeks. If it were me, I would starve to death if I didn't eat for a day.”
"Humph. You're right, I do have things that I have to do, so I won't die in this place.”
"Fried rice is very delicious, you know?”Fang Lang held the fried rice in one hand and pulled out the Langye from his waist with the other." I'm staying in Donghai. Besides you, I'm looking for someone else."”
"What does it have to do with me? That blade of yours…are you a swordsman too?”
Sauron's gaze stopped on Lang Ye's blade, and his eyes became serious. As swordsmen, they could sense each other's strength the moment they drew their swords. A small fry or an expert.
Fang Lang ignored him and continued,""His name is Jurokir Mihawk, and he is known as the world's number one swordsman.”
" Eagle Eye!?"
"You're a swordsman too, you know that, right? Are you really not joining my pirate group?”Fang Lang asked calmly," Don't you want to become a Great Sword Hero whose name can be heard throughout the world?”
This sentence was like a sharp blade that stabbed into Sauron's heart. Memories that had been sealed for a long time but never forgotten surged like a tide.
"You're still so weak, Sauron.”The young girl's voice sounded as if it was whispering in his ear.
Please give me that knife! I will become stronger even for her. I will definitely become the world's number one sword hero whose name will resound throughout the Heavenly State!
He had never forgotten the oath he had made when he was young.
In order to become the world's number one Great Sword Hero, Sauron had been training hard and honing his will all year round. As long as he could become the world's number one Great Sword Hero, no matter what the price was, no matter how difficult it was, Sauron would not hesitate at all.
"How is it? Aren't you going to make a name for yourself with me, Rolonuo Zoro!”
Fang Lang raised Lang Ye up high and asked loudly.
" No..." Sauron lowered his head and spat out one word.
"If that's the case…then there's no other way.”
Lang Ye drew a few sword flowers under Fang Lang's brandishing. Silver light flashed, and the hemp ropes binding Sauron were all cut off.
In an instant, the Three Blade Style swordsman, Sauron, was freed.
" You…What are you doing?!" Sauron asked in disbelief.
"You're too much of a mother. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I had to resort to violence.”Fang Lang pursed his lips and threw the fried rice to the other party. He said,"Seriously, I've prepared a lot of words but I still couldn't convince you. I can only use my last resort.”
Seeing his ugly expression, Fang Lang smiled evilly and said,""You used to be a notorious bounty hunter, and now you were saved by a pirate, not to mention that you violated the agreement with the navy…Ha, ha, ha, you have no other choice but to be a pirate with me, right?”
"You bastard! His personality is too bad!" If it wasn't for the fact that he didn't have a saber with him, Sauron would have fought Fang Lang for 300 rounds already.
"Oh, right, I just heard that Belmeber is going to execute you tomorrow. You see, he's not keeping his word at all. Even the navy had its villains. On the contrary, it was up to you to decide what kind of pirate you wanted to be.”
"What?"
Fang Lang sheathed the Wave Night and pointed at the fried rice in Sauron's hand.""You eat first. I'll go get the knife for you. Then it's a happy decision."
