This dramatic reversal turned the tense atmosphere into something comical in an instant. Everyone was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to react.
Yamato's fingers suddenly stopped in mid-air. In his expectation, the seemingly ordinary old man in front of him would definitely make harsh words and want to beat him to death. The result was this?
At this moment, Allen approached the two of them with brisk steps and a smile on his face.
"Uncle Croccus, long time no see!"
The old man raised his eyes and looked at Allen, who was walking towards him. He still had the serious expression on his face, but he could also see a hint of gentleness that was not easy to detect. "Allen, it's you."
Allen smiled and nodded, then turned to face everyone and introduced enthusiastically, "This is uncle Ship Doctor, Croccus from my Father pirate ship!"
Robin and Nana politely greeted Uncle Croccus, their voices soft and somewhat polite.
Uncle Croccus nodded slightly, and then his eyes fell on Yamato, who had returned to human form.
He frowned slightly, raised his hand and pointed at Yamato, and said, "Why did you find such a guy? He has no manners at all."
Yamato Hearing this, an incredible look appeared on his face for an instant. His eyes widened, his fingers tremblingly pointed at his face, and he said loudly, "Old man, did I give you a face? If you dare to say bad things about me, believe it or not, I will beat you to death!"
Uncle Croccus glanced at the arrogant Yamato unhurriedly, and the expression on his face became more and more fierce, "It's up to you!"
Those three short words seemed to be of great power and full of provocative meaning.
"Ha, you old man!"
Yamato was completely angered. He suddenly raised his fist as black as old iron and saw that this punch was about to hit him hard.
However, at this critical moment, Uncle Croccus suddenly said, "You can kill me with one punch!"
Everyone was speechless for a moment, thinking to themselves that if this old man had spoken a second later, he would have been beaten to pieces by Yamato.
Yamato was also overwhelmed by this sudden sentence. For the first time, he truly felt what it meant to ride a tiger and be unable to get off.
He put down his fist in embarrassment, and then couldn't help complaining. "Old man, if you are afraid of death, can you stop pretending? You almost couldn't hold back your fist!"
Uncle Croccus snorted coldly at Yamato, with a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes, "Exactly the same as Kaido, like a cow!"
Yamato heard this and couldn't help but wonder, "Do you still know my bastard Father?"
"Yeah, we know each other!"
Before Yamato could answer, Uncle Croccus said again unhurriedly, "But he doesn't know me!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone was speechless again, thinking in their hearts, this old man talks so much nonsense, and he just said things that make people confused.
Allen has known Uncle Croccus for many years and naturally knows that he is such a unique person.
He didn't want to waste too much time here, so he said softly, "Uncle Croccus, let's leave first and come back to see you when we have time!"
Just as everyone was about to turn around and leave, Uncle Croccus suddenly asked in a serious tone, "When are you free?"
These words made everyone stop for a moment. Allen turned his head helplessly and said patiently, "After a while."
But Uncle Croccus obviously didn't intend to give up, and continued to ask, "Which specific day?"
Allen was really annoyed by him now, but he didn't want to get angry, so he could only say helplessly, "For today, I will go to the toilet first, and I will come over to see you later!"
"Okay!"
Uncle Croccus responded with satisfaction, then sat on the chair and looked at Newspaper leisurely.
Allen quickly took the three girls back to the boat. As soon as they got back to the boat, Yamato started shouting, "I really can't stand this old man. I'm afraid if I say a few more words to him, I'll really beat him."
Allen smiled helplessly and said, "Since we agreed to him, let's spend the night here tonight!"
Yamato waved his hands impatiently and said, "I'm on the boat, you can chat with him if you want!"
After saying that, he angrily walked towards his room. But halfway there, he suddenly stopped.
Then, he slowly turned around, with a bright smile on his face, and said with a smile, "I suddenly felt that this was very rude, so I'd better follow you."
Everyone looked at Yamato with blank expressions, and Allen said in confusion, "I feel like you have no good intentions." His eyes were full of vigilance.
Yamato waved his hands guiltily and said quickly, "How is that possible? You go first, I will be there later."
That panicked look made people even more suspicious of his motives.
Allen wanted to stay here to see what Yamato wanted to do, but was kicked out by Yamato.
Seeing this, Allen had no choice but to take Robin and Nana to the island again.
After sunset, the night is like a huge black satin, slowly covering the entire world.
Several people were sitting on the shore, enjoying this quiet and beautiful time.
They held the drink carefully prepared by Uncle Croccus in their hands. Allen took a sip and immediately felt that the taste was a bit strange.
He forced himself to swallow the drink, and then asked politely, "Uncle Croccus, what kind of drink is this?"
Uncle Croccus didn't hide it and said seriously, "Just Seawater add some sugar!"
Seeing his serious look, Allen sighed in his heart, if sincerity is a must-kill skill, then Uncle Croccus is undoubtedly a master.
"Boom~"
A loud noise broke the tranquility of the night and attracted everyone's attention.
At this time, Robin pointed at the whale hitting the wall not far away and asked curiously, "Uncle, is this your pet?"
Croccus Uncle took a deep look at the whale, his eyes full of tenderness and nostalgia, "No, he is not my pet, he is a partner of a pirate group!"
Then, Uncle Croccus slowly talked about Laboon and the story with Rumbar Pirates.
Nana is a relatively emotional person. After hearing Laboon's story, she burst into tears. She threw herself into Allen's arms, choked with sobs and shouted, "It's so touching. I hope he can wait for the person he wants to wait for."
Robin, on the other hand, is more rational. She frowned slightly and analyzed carefully. "It has been 40 years since their agreement, and since they have not come back for so long, it is estimated that Rumbar Pirates has been annexed and disbanded by other forces. Even if they are not all dead, the remaining people are all in their seventies or eighties. They should have died of old age, and it is impossible to come back here again."
Although Robin's words were harsh, uncles Nana and Croccus had to admit that this was the truth.
For a moment, the atmosphere became a little heavy, as if shrouded in a layer of haze.
