On the Polar Tang, Luo was Penguin to sit on the sofa.
As he sat down, he wiped his forehead with difficulty and gave a wry smile.
"The power of this Devil Fruit is still too physically demanding. If it were a few years later, I might grow to the point where I can freely move and switch places with a ship."
But in any case, this is just too difficult for me right now...
Just one change of seats and my head is about to explode, ugh.
Hopefully, Bepo will find metal near that lighthouse that can be used to repair the ship's pipes.
Otherwise, if we stay here too long, we might run into the crew of the Dark Bird Ship, who haven't yet returned to the Grand Line!
As soon as he finished speaking, Luo narrowed his eyes worriedly. His head still ached a little, and even his West City a bit blurry.
Just as he was drifting off to sleep, Shakky suddenly rushed towards him and said...
"Captain, Bepo came back as soon as he landed, and he brought the lighthouse keeper back with him!"
"Oh?"
Upon hearing this, Luo looked curiously at the top of the submarine, where the submarine's entrance and exit were located. Due to a damaged pipeline, their submarine was temporarily unable to dive and could only float on the surface of the sea.
That's why Gawain, who was outside the submarine, was led by Bepo into Law's submarine.
Bepo Gawain and entered the cabin. Bepo was extremely excited and quickly told Law.
"Captain, I haven't found enough metal, because there's simply no metal around that lighthouse."
Unless we go mining on that island, we'll probably have a hard time finding high-quality metals suitable for our hulls and pipes.
Fortunately, I found a kind gentleman, the lighthouse keeper.
This gentleman said he was particularly skilled at dealing with metal, so I brought him along!
Just then, Gawain walked into the cabin, Bepo introduced him to Law with a Gawain smile.
And Luo...
The moment he saw Gawain's face, he froze for at least ten seconds!
Looking at the dazed captain, Bepo tilted his head in confusion.
"Private Marseille?"
Although I don't know why the captain froze or what exactly happened, it's definitely the right thing to do to apologize.
Listening to Bepo's bewildered apology, Law took a deep breath, then helplessly pressed his hand against his spotted hat.
"Bepo, you always like to offer meaningless apologies."
But this time, it's definitely the time you should apologize the most!
As Law spoke, he looked at Bepo with a disappointed expression.
"Hey, you bear, can't you tell people apart? Can't you tell who everyone you see is?"
"Why?"
Bepo nodded, feeling wronged, after being scolded.
"The captain is right. I really can't recognize everyone. Apart from the three of you, everyone else looks the same."
Everyone has about the same amount of fur, and without any significant difference in coat color, they all look pretty much the same to me, especially the pubic Masai.
So, what's wrong? Judging from the captain's tone, this repairman I brought along seems like some important person.
Did I make a mistake?
As he spoke, Bepo turned around and looked at Gawain with a puzzled expression. As he looked, Bepo noticed the coat on Gawain's back.
Then he suddenly remembered something, and he Dawu realization.
"Aww, I get it! It's a coat, right?"
"Very few people wear overcoats, so are you perhaps from the Navy?!"
"I'm not."
Gawain answered Bepo's question very decisively, then raised his hand and gently rubbed Bepo's head under Bepo's wary gaze.
It feels wonderful to hold; it's so fluffy. Gawain's gaze towards the polar bear immediately became even more appreciative!
Just as Gawain was smiling and enjoying Bepo's touch, Law finally slapped his forehead in exasperation.
"Aish, Bepo can't find out, fine, but what about you guys?"
Shachi, Penguin, didn't you recognize this face either?
Even if you don't recognize his face, he doesn't look like an ordinary person, does he?
Am I the only one reading the newspaper?
At this point, Luo sighed helplessly, then strode over to Gawain.
Looking at Gawain's gentle smile, Luo remained silent for a moment, then lowered his head.
"Hey, you win, Celestial Dragon."
I don't know why you're waiting here, or why you'd be willing to play house with my subordinates.
In short, I really lost completely... room!!!
Suddenly, Luo tried to open the room while simultaneously drawing his knife.
But the instant he made his move, Gawain's left hand reached forward and gently pressed on the hilt of Ronna's sword, which he hadn't yet drawn.
"Hey, kid~".
Seeing Luo's shocked expression, Gawain chuckled and said to him.
"You should know that I am also an excellent swordsman. Although I am far from being the best in the world, I am someone who can cut through the stars."
So, not everyone is qualified to draw their sword in front of me~.
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain turned his left hand, and Luo's sword came directly into Gawain's hand.
Immediately afterwards, Gawain touched the polar bear with his right hand and placed his left hand on Ronna's equally furry hat.
At the same time, the polar bear understood something from Luo's words, and he immediately began to tremble uncontrollably.
Shivering, the polar bear stared blankly at Gawain.
"You Celestial Dragon, I've heard you all love our Mink Tribe, but I must emphasize, my meat doesn't taste good, waaaaah!!!"
"Why?"
Hearing Bepo's tearful words, Gawain narrowed his eyes with amusement.
"So what I like about your skin is your skin. Why should I care whether your meat tastes good?"
"Aaaaaah, Private Marseille, I'm going to die!!!"
"It's... it's Gawain!!!"
"The man who defeated Shiki, defeated the Garp the Hero, and even defeated Whitebeard and Red-Haired Shanks!"
"The most Haki man on the high seas!"
"One of the strongest in the world!"
"A monster among monsters!"
"A legendary tale!"
"The supreme Celestial Dragon!!!"
"Hehe, he has such a handsome smile~~~."
Well, okay, although the Heart Pirates are too masculine, they do have one female crew member. Overall, they're just as carefree as the Straw Hat Pirates.
At a time like this, you still have the mind to think about Gawain's looks!
However, considering that even in the original world of Pirate King, Cavendish poster would still be snatched up by his crazy female fans as if it were a poster, it's still a story to tell.
This world has never lacked people who are attracted to good looks, has it?
Hearing the way the crew addressed him, Luo, whose longsword had been taken from him, shook his head helplessly.
Even his most cautious sneak attack was easily detected and dealt with by Gawain.
Although he was one of those legendary Celestial Dragon were pot-bellied and infertile, his strength was truly earned through hard-fought battles.
Compared to this person, my own strength is far too immature!
Seeing Bepo's terror and Law's dejection, Gawain chuckled softly, then released Bepo's head.
"Don't be afraid, little bear. You're not on my menu, and I don't like dead Mink Tribe."
As for you, Luo, you should understand why I'm here, right?
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain casually tossed Luo's sword into Luo's arms.
After catching his own sword, Luo nodded slightly in response.
"Originally, I was quite resistant to you."
But now, you're actually willing to wait here alone, right here in this lighthouse, just for me?"
At this point, even Luo himself found it hard to believe. He pondered for a moment before cautiously asking, "..."
"You must know about my relationship with your new subordinate, right? He hasn't mentioned me to you?"
Or perhaps he mentioned it to you, and you... still don't want to give up on me?
After saying that, Luo leaned against the wall dejectedly, looking coldly into Gawain's eyes as he continued speaking.
"No matter what he says to you, and no matter what you think, you should know that I could never do that!"
In short, haha, even if it means death, I would never give immortality to someone I don't approve of. I...
"What immortality?"
Gawain suddenly interrupted Luo, and said to the slightly surprised Luo.
"No wonder you are so wary of me; it's your abilities that make you so wary of West City foreign."
Do you think what I want is immortality? Ha! Even if it is, do you think you can achieve that while you're still considering whether or not to have the Perennial Youth Operation done for me?
Do you think I would willingly entrust my body entirely to you for responsibility?
At this point, Gawain clenched his fist and casually gave Trafalgar Law a sharp rap on the head.
While smashing the Trafalgar Law, until he saw stars, Gawain said with amusement.
"Am I such a gullible person? Even if you wanted to perform Perennial Youth Operation on me, I wouldn't easily trust someone who has just appeared."
Besides, it's just about immortality. Even without the Perennial Youth Operation, there are countless other ways to pursue it, and every single one of them is far better than sacrificing your life!
With that, Gawain grabbed Luo by the shoulder and headed towards the submarine's exit.
He said this as he walked.
"Alright, let's go sit on the beach. Your boat is nice, but the space is too cramped, and the smell is... indescribable."
Um, someone threw up when we came down from Reverse Mountain, right?
Whoever throws up should clean it up themselves. The rest of you can come with me to the beach to enjoy the scenery. That's all for now.
I'll find someone to repair your boat later!
As soon as he finished speaking, Gawain had already brought Luo to the beach, leaving only the white bear there, secretly cleaning up what he had vomited in the corner with a bitter face.
Just then, Rayleigh came rushing down from the top of Reverse Mountain, carrying beer and barbecue.
Upon seeing Gawain from afar, Rayleigh adjusted his landing direction and then landed precisely next to Gawain.
"Hahaha, Captain, I've brought plenty of strong liquor and roasted meat."
As for you, let me see, you've found our medical territory, haven't you?
Tsk tsk tsk, a user of the Op-Op Fruit. With this guy's help, Zephyr's strength can increase by at least two levels. Who knows, our ship might gain another Admiral combatant!
However, judging from the surprised look on this kid's face when he heard what I said, Captain, you haven't invited him yet, have you?"
After saying that, Rayleigh opened a bottle of wine and casually tossed it into Law's hand, who was looking completely shocked.
Then he took the two bottles of wine and smashed their necks with a light tap.
After handing Gawain a bottle, he clinked Gawain with him.
Watching Gawain and Rayleigh drinking heartily, Luo remained silent for a moment before finally taking a sip himself.
When Gawain put down the bottle, Luo was still drinking. By the time Luo finished, Gawain and Luo were already sitting on the sand, fighting over the meat.
Watching Gawain and Rayleigh carrying barbecue skewers and wielding sword energy, Law took a deep breath and then said with emotion.
"To be able to drink with the famous Celestial Dragon Saint Gawain, and the ancient legendary pirate, the vice-captain of the Pirate King, Dark King Rayleigh!"
No matter what, even if I die today, my life will have been worthwhile!
"Ha ha!"
Hearing Law's words, Rayleigh gently patted Law's shoulder, stuffing a skewer of meat he had stolen into Law's hand as Rayleigh spoke with a smile.
"Young man, stop talking about dying today. People who don't know better might think the captain and I are trash who bring death to people at the drop of a hat."
Can't you see the newspaper? The old man and the captain are the great heroes who saved Fish-Man Island, as well as Mock Town and Alabasta, and incidentally, Loguetown too!
Are you a bad guy, kid? Otherwise, why are you afraid of two heroes?
At this point, Rayleigh saw Gawain light a cigarette, so he snatched one from Gawain's hand.
Seeing this, Luo couldn't help but reach out his hand to Gawain.
Seeing Luo's confident expression as he asked for a cigarette, Gawain nodded in satisfaction and then offered Luo one as well.
After lighting the tobacco, Luo coughed and smoked while talking.
"I don't know how much you big shots have investigated me, but anyway, since I recovered from my Amber Lead Syndrome, I rarely do things that damage my internal organs, including smoking."
But let's just be outrageous this once in a while. Who told me I'd accept even more outrageous invitations in the future?
I heard what Mr. Rayleigh said earlier: you want to invite me to be part of the medical team for the Dark Bird Ship.
How could I dare to refuse? No matter how painful it is, I have to keep living, because I still have goals that I must achieve.
Why..."
Luo let out a long sigh, took a deep drag on his cigarette, and then coughed heavily.
When he coughed, Gawain gently patted his shoulder.
"Stop sighing, kid. I know what your goal is. You just want to kill Doflamingo to avenge Corazon, right?"
See, what a coincidence! That guy Doflamingo is on my ship. Even if you wanted to kill him, I wouldn't care about the crew's personal hobbies.
Without my invitation, who knows how long it would take you to get close to Doflamingo, Shichibukai and the king of the Underworld.
But now, all you need to do is come aboard my ship, and you will have at least the same status and power as Doflamingo.
Isn't this a shortcut to success, Trafalgar Law?
As Gawain spoke, he looked at Luo with amusement.
Seeing Gawain looking at him like that, Luo's mind raced for a moment. After a brief silence, he suddenly spoke to Gawain.
"So, Gawain, the condition you're offering me is at least equal power and status with Doflamingo?"
Then I would like to ask you, what do I need to do to gain higher rights and status than him?
If I could, I would sacrifice everything to make him die right here in front of me!
