In the afternoon, the Gigillier had completely left the range of Cocus Island. Because it was a sunny day and the wind was good, the ship sailed smoothly.
"Hey, Captain Jerry, I heard from Demetrio that you are a merchant ship. You sell fur coats, precious ores, regional specialties, and a series of other things, right?”Arida dragged her big bag and stood on the deck.
"Yes, why? Do you want to sell something?”Captain Guril Jelly leaned lazily against the railing of the deck, looking at the large animal skin package beside Arida. He already knew that Arida had given Demi a saber-toothed tiger tooth dagger, and he also knew that the dagger from Cocus Island was very valuable.
"Of course, I want to go to an island with people. I need money, but I don't have money.”Arida, who had the power to see and hear, naturally knew that Captain Jerry was secretly looking at his bag. However, he did not care and directly opened the bag.
"I have three complete beast skins, all of which are at least eight meters long. I also have daggers and short knives made from beast teeth and bones.”After saying that, Arida took out a 60cm long green beast bone knife covered in black animal skin from his bag. He smiled and said,""This short knife is for you. Thank you for saving me. This is made from the blade arm of a two-meter-tall sickle mantis.”
"Hehe, then I won't stand on ceremony.”He had been envious of Demetrio's sabertooth dagger, but he was too embarrassed to ask Demetrio for it. He happened to see the rough blue bone knife in Arida's hand, and he liked it very much. Moreover, it was a gift for him, so he took it without hesitation. He pulled it out and saw that the blade was green. Although it was rough, it was still very beautiful. He couldn't help but praise,"Good saber!"
"Hehe, as long as you like it." Arida grinned at Captain Jerry's happy expression.
"Of course, the quality of your hide, daggers, and short knives are all very good. They are enough for armor.”Captain Jerry looked at the knife for a moment and stuck it into his belt. Then, he picked up a pure black animal skin and tore it forcefully. He nodded and said,"These are all very good things. I want them all. Moreover, these things are all from Cocus Island. Adding on the quality of these things, I'll give you 200,000 Bailey.”
"That's a lot. Thank you." Arida didn't expect such a small amount to be worth 20 Bailey. He was very surprised and said happily,""There are also some animal teeth and other small accessories inside. Take them as my gifts to the brothers on the ship. Thank you for your care.”
"Haha, thank you very much. I'll tell those kids.”Taking out an animal tooth bracelet, Captain Jerry, who was nearly two meters tall, patted Arida's shoulder generously.
After receiving the money, Arida whistled happily back to his room. Captain Jerry, who was on the deck, looked at Arida's cheerful back and touched the bone knife on his belt. He chuckled,"Hehe, what an interesting child.”
The next day, morning.
The weather was clear, and the sun was very strong. It was only around 10 o'clock in the morning, but the sun was already so hot that it could cause ordinary people to get a heatstroke.
Hey, Demetrio, you have a dream." Lying in the shade, Arida nudged Demetrio and asked,""Do you plan to be a crew member like this for the rest of your life? I heard that your father is a sailor."
"Dreams?" Demetrio was stunned.
"That's right. What's the difference between a person who doesn't even have a dream and a salted fish?”As the sea breeze blew, Arida complained,""It's so hot. Even the wind is hot.”
" As for dreams..." Demetrio thought for a while and said seriously,""I want to be a sailor, a first-class sailor. My father used to be a sailor, but he was only a dabbler.”
"A navigator! Not a bad dream." Arida smiled, then suddenly stood up to face him and said seriously,""Demetrio, will you board my ship in the future? Become a navigator for me?"
"Your ship?" Demetrio was surprised.
" Yes, I'll be an adult in two years. Then, I'll use another two years to build a ship and recruit crew members. After that, I'll set sail on my twentieth birthday and go to the Great Sea Route.”Arida looked at the sea in the distance and clenched his fists.
"Sigh, going out to sea? You want to go to the Demon Sea (Great Sea Route)? I heard that the Demon Sea (the Great Sea Route) is very dangerous.”"And are you going to be a pirate?" Demetrio jumped up in shock. Are you here for One Piece Roger's treasure,'One Epice'?”
"No, it's not for the great treasure 'ONEPIECE'. I have my dreams.”Arida shook his head and gestured for Demetrio to sit down. He continued asking,""Do you want to come?"
"Can I? I don't even know much about being a navigator.”Demetrio, who sat down, was very unconfident.
"Haha, it doesn't matter! And there's still 40 minutes, you can go and learn.”Wiping the sweat off his forehead, Arida stood up and waved his hand."Think about it. If you want to, tell me when I get off the boat.”
After saying that, Arida turned around and walked to the room on the second floor, leaving Demetrio in deep thought.
Beep...
When they reached the stairs, the watchtower on the top of the main mast suddenly issued a rapid alarm.
" At this moment…" Arida had never heard the alarm on the ship, but he could guess that something bad must have happened.
"This voice…Did you encounter pirates?!”
"Damn it, are they pirates?"
……
Instantly, the alarm sounded like gasoline dripping into a pot of oil. The entire Gigillion seemed to explode. Many crew members ran back and forth. Some went to get weapons, some went to prepare cannons, and some went to the deck or roof to watch.
The Gigilier was a very large merchant ship. It was about 150 meters long from front to back. There were two decks above and two decks below. There were more than 300 crew members. Due to the large amount of cargo on board, and the sudden increase in the number of pirates in the East China Sea due to the " Great Pirate Era " caused by the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, the crew members on board all brought their own weapons. There were also many guns and cannons on board, which were enough to easily defeat many small and medium-sized pirate groups.
"Don't panic." At this moment, the captain, Gulier Jelly, walked to the deck and commanded loudly,""First mate, take 50 men to control the cannons on the deck and blow up those sons of bitches. Second mate, take 50 men to the warehouse below to get weapons and shells and prevent the bottom of the ship from leaking. Be careful. Third mate, take 50 men and prepare to exchange fire. Try not to let them land on the ship. The rest of you, prepare to get weapons and prepare for battle.”
"Don't worry, I guarantee that I'll blow up those sons of bitches.”The sturdy First Mate Harlor led dozens of crew members to lift up the cannon's cover and adjust the angle.
"Alright, I'll go now." Io, who was usually quiet, led dozens of people to the bottom of the deck.
"Leave it to me." The third officer, Marlock, who was carrying a rocket launcher, licked his dry lips with a bloodthirsty look.
