"Heigl." Biggs pointed at the huge, round fatty over there. The flesh on his belly was like a wave.
"Ship craftsman, his skills are not bad. And he's very powerful."
"Memnon, once a farm owner."
It was a man with a golden beard. His face was ruddy and shiny, and his body was slender, but he was not tall, a head shorter than Richard.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, my lord.”
" Pfft," the woman beside him laughed softly." We usually call him Young Master. I'll take my leave then. Mr. Biggs, Mr. Heigl, if you have the chance, please come over for a meal. There's an extra abundance of food this year.”
"Alright, thank you." Heigl scratched his head and said honestly.
"We're going to open a tavern in the future, so please take care of our business.”
"Is that so?" The young woman seemed to be very interested." Our family has the rice wine brewed by the eldest young master. It tastes very good. When the time comes, we can take it to your tavern to sell.”
" Ahaha!" Heigl was so excited that he took a few steps forward, his fat swaying.
"Then I want to try it first."
The one-armed Biggs smiled in distress." I think we shouldn't open a tavern. This guy will drink it all."”
"Don't say that. I'll hold it in.”
This was probably the way they chatted. They didn't have to worry about saying anything wrong and touching each other's faces, so they seemed very casual.
Perhaps this was what friends were.
……
Biggs had come from the latter half of the Great Sea Route, bringing not only people with rich adventure experience, but also a large amount of treasure. All the treasures accumulated over the years were given to Richard.
They only had one request, and that was to be able to sleep soundly here.
Richard agreed.
Was this request simple?
It was simple.
Was it difficult?
It was also difficult.
Only when he was truly in control of order could he do what he said, but Richard would definitely do what he promised.
The next step.
It was a diplomatic alliance.
Time passed very quickly. After the beginning of spring this year, the whole island held a grand and lively "God Bestow Festival". Mihawk usually chose to practice his swordsmanship in the big training field because he could not stand the crowded environment.
Most of the residents gathered together to sing praises for Lord Richard's years of hard work. Children made wreaths for Richard and threatened him to pick the prettiest one.
"The most beautiful one?"
Richard tilted his head and sat on a small hill in the spring breeze. The green grass had already emerged from the melted snow, and everything looked lively.
The little girls widened their eyes and straightened their necks.
She leaned over and looked at Richard earnestly, expectant.
The little girls had already secretly discussed that whoever was the prettiest would become Lord Richard's wife.
"Well, the most beautiful thing is-"
"Ah! Tell me quickly."
"Lord Richard, it's me, it's me!! You have to choose me!"
Words that left one in suspense always made one anxious, and one wanted to dig into Richard's heart to see what he was thinking.
Richard's lips curled into a smile."Every one of them."
"Ah?"
"Ah ~~~"
The drawling, frustrated voice made Richard laugh.
"Alright, every one of them is very beautiful. I like them very much.”
"Yes! And this."
One of the girls made a sachet.
After the other girls had skipped away, she came up to Richard and handed it to him.
It was engraved with the emblem of Richard's Black Rose Castle.
Sword and Rose."
"Master Richard, please give it to the young master for me.”
Richard paused."Ha, for Mihawk? You're Ai Xi, right? I remember you. Oh, you seem to be of age, but you have to tie your braids up to match Mihawk.”
"He likes girls with braids.”
"Is that so?"
Ai Xi looked at her soft, wavy hair.
Then, her face turned red and she stomped her feet.""Aiya, aiya, Eldest Young Master, you're so annoying!!”
After pouting, she ran away.
"Qingchun."
Richard picked up the wine gourd beside him and took a sip of Tusu wine. It was as warm as spring.
The next day, after the holidays, Richard received a reply about Tom.
He agreed to come, but he had to wait until three months later to teach his disciples and see if they were willing to follow him. If they were not willing, he would even have a culinary skill.
Richard was relieved to hear this.
He gathered Li Qing and forty sailors on the spot. He pulled Biggs along and prepared to set sail.
"Mihawk, I'll leave the island to you.”
Richard said before leaving.
"Yes, brother, don't worry. I'll take care of everything!”
This was the first time he managed the entire island on his own. He definitely couldn't let his brother down!
……
The Order set sail again.
With the help of a ship craftsman, the ship was renovated within a month. The deck was reinforced with iron hoops. The keels of the ship could not be replaced, but the entire ship was overhauled.
With a total of 18 large-caliber cannons installed, the current Order could already fight on the sea.
It had also transformed from the royal family's ceremonial ship into a 'warrior' who could support the heavens and the earth.
" Everything is ready, Captain!!"
The one-armed Biggs grinned."May I ask what our destination is?"
"Nine Snake Island."
"Huh?" The crew members looked surprised.
Could a man go to that place?
