"Hey, if we continue fighting, I know I still won't be able to defeat you.”
Leopard Goro's glasses shone. Although he was drenched in sweat, he smiled.
"But I still know how to fight. Nine Miles, the Country of Peace, we can't be without this bit of integrity.”
After saying that, he rushed towards Roger.
His speed was very fast, and he was like a shooting star as he arrived.
In just a moment, the two figures crossed each other in the air. Roger sensed the short-term future with his powerful sense of sight. Therefore, he knew the direction of his attack, but he used his chest to block it.
Bang!
Leopard Goro's fist hit his chest, and Roger also hit his face.
The two of them retreated at the same time.
A long trail was left behind, and the dust was blown away by the wind.
"It finally hit! Boss Bing Goro is awesome!"
"He's dying! Work harder!"
"Jiu Li can't lose. At least before the Imperial Palace arrives, we have to properly fight against the invaders!!”
" Bing Goro, you can do it!!!"
Whether it was the elderly, children, or warriors, they were all shouting with solemn expressions. They liked heroes and also liked to see the invaders defeated by the experts they were familiar with to show the strength of the Country of Peace.
Locking the country is not to avoid danger, but because we are too powerful. This is the right thing to do!!
Cherry blossoms danced in the wind, blowing across Roger's face.
At this moment, he straightened his back and sighed."What a pity. If that's the case, we can be considered to be tied. I can't continue fighting. When people are old, their stamina won't be so abundant.”
"Tsk, this man…"
Leopard Goro put away his battle stance and sheathed his saber.
So that was the case. It seemed that someone had saved his face.
He had the outstanding Flowing Cherry Blossom and seemed to have the ability to see through the future and listen to people's hearts. He was indeed a rare expert.
If I were 20 years younger, I might have fought him to my heart's content.
" Alright." Leopard Goro smiled. He looked at the mountain of losers behind Roger and shook his head slightly." Then, the next competition will depend on your alcohol tolerance. The wine of the Hezhi Country is very strong."”
"Is that so?" Roger smiled.
For someone who had drunk Richard's ancient wine many times, the so-called strong liquor was basically not scary.
A truly powerful alcohol could blind a person's consciousness.
Strong was not the greatest characteristic of wine. It was thick but did not disperse. The wine entered one's heart. That was its true effect.
……
As night fell, the light dissipated, and the afterglow of the setting sun still reverberated on the streets of the town of the God of Wealth. At this moment, Mitsuki Oda rushed over from the mountain path and strode into the town of the God of Wealth.
His left eye narrowed, expressing his amazement in the form of a big eye and a small eye.
" Huh?!"
He had never thought that it would be such a competition.
The Roger Pirates and the heroes of Nine Miles were having a drinking competition.
The first thing he saw was Shuten Maru's huge body lying on the ground. His face was flushed red and he was snoring. There were also sleepy bubbles that varied in size.
Leopard Goro propped himself up on both sides of the table with both hands, forcing himself not to fall. Even the Kang family was here.
As the leader of the current generation of the Shuangyue family, he actually came to Jiuli to drink.
"Hey! What are you guys doing!!”
Oda was furious. He placed his hands on the hilts of his two swords and walked over with a fierce expression.
When Leopard Goro heard this, he smiled and said to Roger,"" This is our Royal Highness Oda."
"If you can beat us in drinking, then take him away.”
During the drinking session, Roger had already explained his purpose of coming. After sensing his power and heroism, the heroes of the Nine Miles said that if they wanted to take Oda away, they would have to see if the fellow who would soon become His Highness's partner was qualified.
The answer was yes.
……
In the beginning, everyone was like wooden figures staring at each other.
A wooden man who knew how to drink.
Everyone drank one cup each and poured their own wine. There was no need to call for others. The pirates and the heroes of Jiuli drank until the wine was like a receding tide. Soon, the large vats disappeared without a trace.
When Sakutenmaru fell, he looked deeply at Roger, grabbed his arm, and said seriously,""If the Imperial Palace wants to go with you, you must tell me. No matter where you go, I will follow you.”
Roger, Riley, and the others didn't speak. They just drank.
When there was only Leopard Goro left on the table, they all laughed at the same time.
It was not the smile of a victor.
Instead, he was happy from the bottom of his heart.
Just as Richard had said, Mitsuki Oda was a good person.
Only a man who valued his companions 'lives more than his own would have countless people following him to the death.
This was the sea! This was the martial world.
"Richard, as expected of you. You recommended me a good companion.”
Although Roger said this to himself, Richard's figure still lingered in his heart.
" Hey," Oda's voice sounded in her ear.
Roger turned his head and looked at him with a smile. He was looking forward to what this hero would say when he met him.
"Damn it, you guys didn't wait for me to drink!”Mitsuki Oda gritted his teeth.
