In a peaceful inn, a man and a panda sat together, toasting each other. When the two of them drank, they did not give in at all. The surrounding people were dumbfounded. At this moment, even the lady boss had a headache.
"Hey, hey! I really have to hand it to you two. All the wine in my shop has been almost drunk by you two. Please take care of the other customers! Really!" Hearing the lady boss's complaints, Arthur and Old Chen couldn't help but feel embarrassed. Don't be like this, Mary! I haven't met someone who can drink with me like this for a long time. At least give us some more!”"That's right! Sister-in-law Mary! This is also the first time I've met such a forthright person like Old Chen. Haha, although I've never drunk with anyone else before! Hehehe!" It was awkward, but people like Chen and Arthur didn't care about what others said. They shamelessly climbed up the ladder.
"Humph! No matter what, there's no more wine in the shop. If you want to drink, drink your own!”‘Dong! Dong! The lady boss put the two buckets of prizes on the table and left.
" Mm..."" Mm..." The two of them looked at the two barrels of wine on the table and were silent for a while. Suddenly, the two of them spoke at the same time.
"Drink up!" "Drink yours first!" There was quite a tacit understanding between the two of them. When they heard each other say that, they were stunned for a moment and then laughed out loud.
"Hahahahaha! This is too interesting, Old Chen. You really suit my taste!”"Hehehehe ~! That's right! That's right, it's been a long time since I've met a drinking buddy like you who can talk to me from the heart! Hahahaha!" It was as if the two of them had become old friends for many years in an instant.
Looking at the weather outside the window, it was almost evening. Arthur said,"Ah, I didn't expect today to pass by so quickly.”"That's right, time flies. Hehe, it's my honor to be able to make a good friend like you. Then, I'll drink this last bowl of wine first as a toast!”‘Gu ~! Gu ~! Seeing that it was getting late, Old Chen picked up the last of the wine and drank it all in one breath! Arthur saw how forthright Elder Chen was and drank the wine in front of him."Ah, this is great! Hehe, seriously! Come and be my partner! Old Chen!"
"What?" Elder Chen was stunned by Arthur's words. "Buddy! It's an existence that can take risks with me and make me want to take off my back!”Arthur looked very happy. In fact, this idea had already sprouted when he first saw Old Chen. Arthur also hoped to find a group of companions who could rely on each other to explore the world with him. After all, no matter how strong he was, there was a limit to his strength. Even the later White Beard, who was called the strongest man in the world, needed the help of a group of sons to cripple Marlin Fando. Therefore, Arthur had never thought of exploring this world alone.
"Come with me! My dream is to become the strongest person in this world. I want to take everything in this world into my pocket! You have dreams too, right? Let's complete it together! Become my partner!" Arthur said heroically.
"No, I refuse!" Elder Chen refused without hesitation. "Eh? Why?" Arthur was surprised. He thought that Chen Qifa's personality was similar to his. How could such a person refuse a sincere invitation from a man. Seeing Old Chen's expression, Arthur knew that he must have some difficulties. Otherwise, he would not have rejected him so easily.
" Although I really want to go out to sea with a partner like you, I..." Seeing that Old Chen was about to say something, Arthur said to him," It's okay! If you have any difficulties, I won't force you, because it's already my honor to make such a great friend like you! Thank you for understanding me. If you can, please believe me. After I'm done, please let me be your partner! I hope you can still accept me when the time comes!”Elder Chen was touched by Arthur's words. Arthur also said," Of course! Aren't we friends? No matter when and where, as long as you are willing, we are partners! This is a man's promise!" "Hehe, a man's promise? Alright, I understand!" After drinking happily with Arthur, Old Chen left the hotel. He didn't say the reason, and Arthur didn't ask. He believed that if Old Chen was willing to talk to him, he would tell him sooner or later.
Arthur sighed and returned to his seat as he watched Chen Qifa's back slowly disappear. What a pity. I thought that I would meet such a great companion as soon as I went out to sea. But it doesn't matter. At least we've become friends. Hmm?" Arthur, who was sighing, suddenly felt something was wrong when he saw the table.!! Old Chen, you're too shameless! He actually took my century-old wine when I was so emotional? Holy sh * t! I always thought you were an honest person, but you're actually an old driver who looks honest but is actually treacherous!! Hehehe ~"
On the other side, Elder Chen was walking away with the barrel of good wine in his arms. He was already overjoyed." Hehe, Arthur, we are good friends now. Let me exchange gifts with you. I'll give you my barrel of 50-year-old good wine. You must treasure it well!" " Hehe…" Elder Chen was walking while feeling happy. He heard Arthur's voice from afar and immediately walked faster.
----------------------------------
After meeting Chen Jiuquan, Arthur's schedule became monotonous again. Since it was during the celebration, Arthur played for a few days without worry. Of course, he did not have that much money, but he could not resist the hooligans! Although the people of Binks Town were simple and honest, there were also many unemployed refugees who bullied others everywhere. After all, even in a small rural area, such things would happen, let alone in the wine country with such a developed economy.
Arthur was walking on one side of the street, counting about 5,000 Bailey in his hand. A group of hooligans, led by a district leader, wanted to rob Arthur, but they were easily taken care of by Arthur. Now, they were lying in the alley like a pile of garbage. "Hmph, is that all? Damn it, these bastards only brought so little money with them? They really have the face of the underworld!" Arthur said those infuriating words with a matter-of-fact expression. "Sigh! What should he do? My ship was destroyed. If I want to leave this place, I need a new ship. However, the money I have is just enough for my expenses here. How can I have the money to buy a ship?”Looking at the money in his hand, Arthur sighed helplessly. She had forgotten about it because she was immersed in the party. Now that the merchant ships had already bought their goods and left, he could not even take a ride on other people's ships. Arthur had thought that he could rob some money from the evil forces in the town, but he did not expect the people in this town to be so kind. After asking around, he found that there were no local tyrants or evil gentry here, which made Arthur feel embarrassed.
"Sigh, why are the people here so kind? Last time, I braced myself and wanted to rob the richest family in town. In the end, I was actually welcomed in and even treated to a big meal. But now, I've only managed to raise a few tens of thousands of Bailey even after I've dealt with all the ruffians and hooligans in the town. If this continues, will my adventure end before it even begins?？Don't!" Just as Arthur was fretting, a loud noise from the port in the distance interrupted his train of thought!
Boom! "Hmm? What's wrong?" When he raised his head, he saw flames flying everywhere at the port. Judging from the sounds, it was also a mess. "What happened? Was he attacked? Let's go take a look!" Arthur's legs turned into springs and he flew into the sky.
Puff! Puff! Puff! Arthur, who was flying in the air, flew towards the port as if he was stepping on something. If there were any navy officers present, they would recognize that this was the secret navy technique, the Six Navy Styles, Moon Steps.
This was the footwork that Arthur had created based on the principles of the Six Navy Moves. The principle of Moon Steps was actually to move by stepping on the air dozens of times in an instant. For Arthur, who had long understood the essence of the Eight Rush Fist, it was a piece of cake.
Arthur was rushing to the port, which was already in ruins. It turned out that a pirate ship had just appeared here and attacked the place arrogantly.
"Hahahahaha! Attack! I'll let them have a taste of my Pincer Jim's power! Hahahaha!" Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Dong ~!' Dong ~!' Rumble! The power of the cannon instantly stunned the people in this peaceful town. The people in the town had never encountered such an attack. Because of the special significance of Chambord Island, the trade on the island had been divided by several large forces, so there was no permanent navy stationed on the island. Moreover, because of the existence of these forces, almost no one dared to attack this place. However, today, an audacious fellow had appeared out of nowhere and actually plundered this place. It was really unknown whether he was self-confident in his extraordinary strength or a rookie pirate who did not understand anything.
Arthur, who had already arrived, suddenly laughed when he saw the scene in front of him." Hehehe, someone really sent me a pillow when I wanted to sleep. God is really kind to me, hehe! Now, there was a way to go out to sea!”
