Chapter 90 / Chapter 91

"That black guy, Gin, is a ruthless one."

"If he sets his sights on you, that would be very troublesome."

"But you should feel lucky, I've decided not to lay a hand on you, otherwise you would have died a much worse death, hehe~~"

(Hey guys, the picture above is of Van Oka! I'm really impressed with his skills and I love this sharpshooter, so I included a picture. What do you guys think of his abilities? (*￣￣)).

Chapter 90

"Judging from his appearance, you are no match for him."

Hawkins looked at Gin, who still looked like a dead man, and calmly said something.

Lafitte held his cane upright in front of him, looked at Van Auger, and politely said, "Van Auger, I'd like to ask you a question."

"You know the name of our Chris Pirates, so you came here specifically to find us, is that right?"

Van Augur completely disregarded their threats, looking at Lafitte with his usual indifferent expression.

"No, I came out to search for the 'Mysterious Ship,' not on purpose."

"All I can say is that fate brought us together!!"

At this moment, Chris, unusually, did not Cultivation. He crossed his arms in front of him and silently looked at the sea ahead, seemingly lost in thought.

Seeing that Chris had no intention of leaving, the women stayed there as well.

Upon hearing Van Auger's words, everyone immediately became interested and began asking questions.

"Mysterious Ship??"

Carina was most interested in new things. She rolled her beautiful eyes, her pretty face full of curiosity, and asked with a smile.

"Um, Van Augur, what are you referring to as the Mysterious Ship?"

"It sounds really impressive to me."

Perona flew through the air, her laughter like the tinkling of silver bells, and said with a grin, "It sounds so funny! This princess loves it! Hahahahaha~~"

Nojiko looked at Nami, frowned her beautiful eyebrows, and asked doubtfully, "Do we have ships like this in the East Blue?"

Nami blinked her big eyes, thought for a moment, and shook her head. "Never heard of it. There's no such thing as a 'Mysterious Ship.' I've never heard of such a thing."

"It seems really impressive. What kind of mysterious ship is it?"

Honey Queen's fair face showed a look of anticipation; she really wanted to know the answer.

Van Oka stood quietly, not saying a word, completely ignoring the women's questions.

For him, women were a nuisance, and he disliked dealing with them.

Even if we all become crew members in the future, it's the same!!

Seeing Van Augur's expression, the women gritted their teeth in anger and glared at him fiercely.

I've never seen such an annoying guy!

They were furious; they all wanted to yell at him and vent their frustrations.

Van Augur remained unfazed by the murderous glares from the beautiful women, tapping his pistol lightly on his shoulder with an expression of utter indifference.

"Not bad at all. I've suddenly realized that you're quite to my liking."

Burgess patted Van Oka hard on the shoulder and laughed, saying, "Well done, very manly, extremely manly."

"Alright, alright, once the Division Commander Challenge starts, I won't fight you anymore, hahahahaha..."

Doc Q nodded, his smile still enigmatic, and continued, "That's it, ignore women, pretend they don't exist, hehe~~"

Gin frowned, his expression cold, and said, "You do have that skill, but I still won't let you off the hook."

"Anyone who provokes the Captain must be severely punished; there's no room for negotiation!"

Luo looked at Hawkins and said in a cold tone, "It seems like none of us are very interested in women."

Hawkins nodded, replying in a low voice, "Everyone here is ruthless; they won't be held back by women."

Lafitte held his cane upright in front of him and said gently, "Although I don't like women either, I certainly won't act that cold-hearted."

At this moment, Baccarat looked at Chris, smoothed her Deep Red hair, arched her eyebrows, and smiled gently.

"Chris, I feel like my luck has turned around again."

Reiju blinked her beautiful eyes and said with a smile, "It seems that the ship Van Augur mentioned is indeed strange."

Honey Queen nodded in agreement, "Since Baccarat sensed it, it means that the ship is real."

Perona floated in the air, her little face scrunched up, and she said with dissatisfaction, "Anyway, this princess isn't going to ask anymore. Tell me if you want, hmph~~"

"That's right, I won't ask anymore, what's with the arrogance?"

Carina curled her lip, a disdainful expression on her stunningly fair face.

Nami looked at Baccarat, her beautiful eyes lighting up, her pretty face full of interest. "This is Baccarat's lucky ability, it's so amazing!"

Nojiko nodded and said, "It's quite peculiar to experience such an ability for the first time."

Before Chris could say anything, Burgess and the others couldn't hold back any longer.

Although they disliked women, they completely believed what Baccarat said.

There's no other reason than that everything Baccarat said ultimately came true.

"Van-Oka, tell me quickly, what exactly is this Mysterious Ship all about?"

Burgess looked at him and quickly said, "Baccarat is Devil Fruit User, and she always brings good luck, this time is no exception."

"So stop dawdling and just tell me."

Doc Q nodded, a rare serious expression on his face, and agreed.

"Other things can be doubted, but when it comes to her Devil Fruit Ability, we must choose to believe it."

Lafitte looked at Van Auger and said politely, "Since Baccarat has said so, it means good luck has arrived."

"Van Aucker, tell me. You absolutely can't stay silent this time."

Van Oka glanced at Baccarat indifferently, a rare look of surprise appearing on his usually serious face.

"A Lucky-Lucky Fruit! It's quite astonishing that there's someone with such an ability on the ship."

"But this is for the best. It seems Chris Pirates was truly fate's arrangement."

Van Oka tapped his gun on his shoulder as usual and said calmly, "There's a story circulating in my Village."

"Several hundred years ago, there was an old fisherman in the village who went out to sea and accidentally encountered a very large ship."

"The ship had a very strange shape, like a large black fish; it was very eerie."

"Most importantly, that ship had no sails at all, yet it sailed incredibly fast."

Van-Oka said calmly, "In the words of the old fisherman, he has never seen such a fast boat since he started fishing at sea."

"After the old fisherman returned, he told the villagers about this strange situation, and from then on, the villagers all remembered it."

"However, time makes people forget many things, and eventually, the villagers all forgot about it."

"It wasn't until a hundred years ago, when my ancestors went to sea to trade, that they rediscovered that magical ship."

Van-Oka's tone changed, he frowned, and said with a puzzled look, "But this discovery shocked our ancestors."

"That large black ship was completely empty of people, yet it was sailing incredibly fast."

"My ancestors were very curious and wanted to follow it, but they were quickly left behind and could no longer find any trace of the ship."

"Just ten years ago, I was enjoying the breeze on the coast when I unexpectedly spotted this ship."

"I looked through the Telescope, and there was definitely no one operating the ship, yet it was incredibly fast, disappearing in the blink of an eye."

Van Oka tapped his shoulder with his gun again and said calmly, "Just now, I came out looking for traces of this ship, and then I ran into your committee."

"This is fate..."

(Hey guys, why write so much about a ship? Can you guess what's so special about it? Leave a comment below! (￣￣).)

Chapter 91

Quiet.

Everyone fell silent.

Everyone was still processing the shocking news brought by Van Oka.

A ship, without anyone in control, sails incredibly fast; it's impossible to catch up.

What's going on here??

I simply can't understand it.

"Amazing, it's truly mysterious."

Carina was the first to react. A look of surprise appeared on her beautiful, fair face as she murmured, "There are such strange ships in this world."

"This is truly unheard of! It's incredible!"

Perona floated in the air, nodding her little head repeatedly, her pretty face full of anticipation, and said with a grin, "Fun! It's so much fun!"

"Find it! We must find this ship! There must be a secret inside! Hahahahahaha-~~"

Nojiko shook her head slightly and sighed, "It sounds really eerie. What kind of ship is that?"

Nami clenched her small hands tightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling, and said with a beaming smile, "Treasure! There must be an incredible treasure on this ship!"

Mei Di looked at the group of women, smoothed her light blonde hair, and gave a wry smile.

"Hearing this story, I felt a chill run down my spine; it's too eerie and mysterious."

Honey Queen shrugged and said helplessly, "Who says it isn't? It feels eerie here."

These women were curious about this kind of thing, and even a little afraid.

But for those grown men, it's a different story.

At first, they were surprised and curious. But after calming down, they all suddenly lost interest.

"I thought it was something valuable, but it's just a ship, what's the big deal?"

Burgess scoffed, completely unconcerned about the matter.

Gin nodded and said indifferently, "Even if there's something strange about it, it's just a ship, not worth discussing at all."

Luo, carrying the Kikoku, remained as aloof as ever. "There are too many strange and unusual things on the high seas; there's really nothing to be surprised about."

"That's not entirely true."

Lafitte held his cane horizontally in front of him, shifted it to the left, and said politely, "If we can find it, then of course we should take a good look."

"If we don't find it, it's not a big deal. After all, treasure doesn't hold much appeal for us."

At this moment, Chris crossed his arms and calmly said, "Let's stay in the East Blue for a few more days."

Having already wasted some time here, Chris didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned around and headed towards the Training Room.

Seeing Chris leave, none of the women wanted to stay any longer, so they followed Chris, chatting and laughing as they went.

"The Captain has gone to Cultivation, I need to hurry too."

Gin glanced at Chris's retreating figure, a resolute look appearing on his dark face, and walked straight outside to begin his workout.

Burgess patted Van Oka on the shoulder and laughed, saying, "Speaking of which, you were a bit arrogant, you even messed up the ship's Direction Bird."

"But this marksmanship is truly impressive."

"In all my years, I've never seen a gunman more skilled than you. Hahahaha..."

Doc Q lay back in the chair, a strange smile on his face. "What's so great about him? Born in the East Blue, he's never even heard of Observation Haki."

Luo glanced at Van Augur and said calmly, "If he knows Armament Haki, he can Armament Haki the bullets he fires."

"Then you, a Logia Fruit user, are doomed to die."
