The Girl and the Bully

Flying at twice the speed of sound for more than ten minutes, the Sirius covered a distance of hundreds of kilometers in just one leap. Putting aside everything else, this speed is very useful for both traveling and running.

After the flight time was up, Sirius began to decelerate and then slowly descended.

The reason it was able to descend so slowly was due to the jets mounted on the hull. They spewed flames, and the reaction force allowed the large ship to land safely on the sea surface.

Only after the Sirius landed on the sea did Yamato turn around excitedly, "That was amazing!! Black, when can we fly again?"

"We need to wait for the injector to cool down,"

Black replied, "It will take about half an hour."

"Huh? It's going to take that long?"

Yamato was disappointed, but then her eyes lit up. "I can freeze it to cool it down!"

Sirius rolled his eyes. "You're quite the little genius."

"No, Yamato,"

Black chuckled and said, "Such rapid and extreme temperature changes are very damaging to metals."

"Is it because the material is not strong enough?" Sirius asked.

Although the materials purchased from Iron Island were all high-quality special steels, they should still be far inferior to the high-strength alloys used in aerospace in my previous life.

"That's right,"

Black nodded and said, "I can try to smelt some high-strength alloys myself if I have the chance in the future."

She's really all-around amazing.

Sirius was deeply moved.

My partner is truly proficient in both basic industry and advanced theory. Although he was born not long ago, he is probably already one of the most outstanding scientists in the world, and a true polymath.

"Speaking of which, where are we now?"

Jack looked out, but all he could see was a vast expanse of blue sea; there was nothing else.

Black said, "Don't worry about that. We just flew about 500 kilometers west from Iron Island, so we should be around here now."

A beam of light shone on the wall, projecting a nautical chart—a chart of the South Blue Sea—with a red dot revealing the Sirius's current location.

Without satellites, is orientation determined purely by calculation?

Sirius couldn't help but shake his head.

"Truly reliable!" Jack couldn't help but exclaim.

"Where."

Black was a little embarrassed.

The Sirius Pirates' journey continues.

Over the next few weeks, they landed on several more islands.

On this day, they arrived at the island once again.

Since Black was already there, there was no need for anyone to stay and guard the ship. So the Sirius Pirates landed. This time it was a true full landing. Even Black, controlling his robot body, wrapped himself in a cloak and followed along.

As is customary, they narrowed down their targets and split up. Black originally wanted to go with Sirius Yamato, but Maria dragged him away with a smile.

Therefore, in the end Sirius remained with Yamato.

This island isn't particularly famous in the South Blue, nor does it have any stunning scenery. Although it's relatively prosperous, it pales in comparison to Tsukimi Island, which we landed on earlier. Even the rugged and bold spirit of Iron Island makes this island seem insignificant.

So after a quick look around, Sirius and Yamato soon started on their reserved activities.

Eat.

While not every island boasts unique and breathtaking scenery, most islands offer their own distinctive cuisine.

Because transportation between the islands is very difficult, communication is not timely.

Therefore, whenever Sirius an island, he makes sure to indulge in all the local delicacies to his heart's content.

Today is no exception.

After asking around a bit, Sirius and his companion devoured the shops one by one. After sampling the snacks, they began their main meal. Sirius, who wasn't short of money, certainly wouldn't skimp on himself, so they headed to the best restaurant on the island.

As soon as he entered the restaurant, he saw Hiyori Ulti and Page One there. Page One waved to him happily, "Big Brother!"

Have you ordered yet?

Sirius and his companion walked over and sat down, casually glancing at the people around them.

At the next table, a woman whose face was obscured was feasting, and the food piled high on the table was disappearing at a visible speed.

He is a rare and outstanding hero!

Sirius thought to himself.

"I've ordered some, but since you're here, I think it might not be enough."

Hiyori handed him a menu with a smile.

Sirius didn't even glance at it, simply summoned a waiter, and arrogantly tossed the menu over, "Bring me everything."

The waiters were stunned, then ran excitedly to the kitchen.

"Big Brother is as heroic as ever!" Page One exclaimed admiringly.

"Where is the boldness!" Ulti rolled her eyes. "Only the appetite is bold."

"But is one menu enough? After all, our captain is the world's biggest eater."

Hiyori and said that as the ship's former chef, she knew very well just how amazing Sirius's appetite was.

She didn't deliberately lower her voice. The woman sitting next to her suddenly raised her head, glanced at Sirius, and gave a disdainful sneer.

"Add more if that's not enough," Sirius replied succinctly.

Soon, the dishes arrived. Because there were so many dishes, the waiter specially moved several tables together, but even so, the dishes could only be described as piled up like a mountain.

"Alright, let's get started!"

At Sirius's command, lunch began.

Whether it's him, Yamato, or Page One, they're all the type to eat with great gusto, or to put it more bluntly, like a reincarnated starving ghost.

Sirius, in particular, didn't even spit out the bones; he just opened his mouth wide, grabbed food, and threw it into his mouth.

Like a whirlwind, the food on the table was quickly devoured.

Page One was the first to be defeated, and then Yamato quickly lost his fighting ability. Only Sirius's appetite remained as strong as ever!

He was practically a manifestation of Beelzebub from hell on earth!

"What's wrong with that guy? Is his stomach a bottomless pit?"

"That's enough food for so many people! Won't you eat yourself to death?"

The diners in the restaurant were buzzing with discussion.

The woman at the next table, as if provoked, sped up her eating and shouted, "Give me another one, just like the order!"

Sirius glanced at her; she looked vaguely familiar. Then he called out loudly, "Me too, another one!"

The restaurant owner was laughing his head off.

Various kinds of food were served continuously.

Silently, Sirius and the woman next door began a competition. With Yamato and Page One already full, only this woman remained to challenge him.

Sirius laughed wildly; it was the smile of a strong man.

The woman was equally determined, but when it came to her appetite, she was brimming with confidence. She even shouted, "The winner is me!"

"Bring it on!"

Sirius showed no weakness.

"Have these two guys lost their minds?" Ulti was speechless.

We don't even know each other.

And then, around this time...

Bump.

The restaurant door was kicked open, and a man in a long dark coat, with curly hair and picking his nose, walked in.

"Hey boss, business's booming today, isn't it time to pay the protection money?"

The restaurant patrons immediately fell silent.

"Gem-- "

"That bully is here again."

"Keep your voice down, don't let him notice you, do you want to get blown away?"
