I Have Been Sleeping Among Pirates For A Hundred Years

On the calm sea, the deck of the pirate ship was not peaceful.

"Ahhhhh!"

Caribu tried his best to avoid a huge bloody fire, and couldn't help but slumped down on the deck, with tears in his eyes, "Master Joel, I have been peaceful and well-behaved these past few days, and I haven't done anything bad. ah!"

"Haha... I haven't moved for a long time, so I accidentally got a little too strong." Joel pinched out the blood inflammation released in his palm with some embarrassment.

This is not too strong, it can almost kill me...

Caribu sniffed with fear, feeling that the blood in his body was still boiling.

The leisurely voyage of the past few days made Joel feel a little itchy. In addition to eating and resting, he also had to move his muscles every day.

Caribu's life is a little richer. In addition to working as a cleaner, lookout, sailor, and helmsman, he also has to receive "training" from Joel.

But he benefited greatly from these trainings, and of course, he was able to get a full four hours of rest during the day, which also made him look forward to the dawn of the next day with hope.

However, similar emergencies always made him feel like he was wandering between life and death.

This adult is really terrifying!

"It's foggy, so that's the end of today's training."

Joel looked ahead where the fog was getting thicker and walked into the cabin.

Although he is a bat species with Demon fruit power, he still prefers bathing in the sun than the wet and sticky feeling in foggy weather.

However, being too addicted to sunlight will degrade all aspects of his body's functions.

Of course, a sun-loving vampire doesn't care.

"It's getting foggy?!"

Unlike Joel's attitude, Caribu became a little excited. Isn't this kind of weather an opportunity given to him by the loving priest?

As long as he put down a small boat and secretly left the pirate ship while the fog was heavy, he would be free to fly!

However, what should I do if I get lost in this sea fog...

And every time I wanted to move secretly before, I always felt a little cold on the back of my head, as if I was being stared at by something.

Caribu hesitated for a long time, but finally gave up the idea of ​​​​escape.

But when the ship passed through the sea fog and the surrounding sight suddenly became clear again, Caribu began to regret that he had not made up his mind just now.

Finally, he sighed and went back to cleaning the deck.

…

The pirate ship sailed for another two days and finally arrived at an island.

The beach is covered with sunshade thatched roof huts, and it is quite lively with people coming and going.

In a tavern on the beach, Caribu shouted in surprise:

"What, this is Aska Island?"

"Hey, guest, you are too excited!"

The boss put on a wrinkled smile and said, "She's just like the pirate lady who came not long ago. You must have heard about the legend of the Seven Star Sword and came all the way, right?"

"Seven-star sword..."

Joel seemed to have thought of something, and that time stopped in the memory of the past, vaguely and intermittently connected.

"Lord Joel, the Seven Star Sword is known as the most beautiful legendary sword in the Grand Line. Legend has it that this super treasure is located on Arcas Island!"

The reason why Caribu became a pirate from a civilian was not only because he wanted to escape from the island, but also partly because he had researched the legends and stories in the nearby waters.

Those oral legends may have the aura of demons, or they may appear as gods in the books he has read since childhood.

"Young man, it's no problem. Maybe you also have a chance to find that treasure!"

The tavern owner laughed heartily. After all, the more people who came here to hunt for treasure, the more prosperous his business would be.

"Master Joel, are we going to go treasure hunting?"

Caribu looked at Joel flatteringly, with a hint of expectation in his eyes.

"Of course, treasure hunting is such an interesting thing, how could I miss it."

Joel put down his wine glass and stood up, a smile slowly appeared on his face, "Besides, I haven't been back for a long time...

…

Most of the townspeople on Aska Island live along the gentle coast, while the interior of the island is covered with lush primeval forests.

Carib followed Joel through the towns along the coast and into the forest.

After walking for more than half an hour, he held his stomach and walked to Joel's side, blushing and said:

"Master Joel, I just had a bad stomach, and I want to go to the toilet nearby."

Joel stopped and said nonchalantly: "Then I'll wait for you for a while."

"No no no!"

Caribu quickly shook his head and refused,

"The stuff in the villain's belly will definitely stink worse than Devil Fruit. I'm afraid it will contaminate your nose, sir. Please leave first. Once the villain is done with it, I'll follow you right away!"

The strange metaphor made Joel's eyes twitch slightly, and he waved his hand: "Go ahead."

After getting Joel's approval, Caribu showed an embarrassed smile and ran towards the nearby bushes in two steps.

After running far enough, he squatted down, opened a gap in the grass, and peeked at Joel's retreating figure.

Amidst the rustling of the grass in the breeze, the pounding heart gradually reduced its beating frequency.

The nervousness gradually turned into joy.

Success, success...!

Unexpectedly, after struggling for so long, I, Kalibu, finally got rid of that guy and no longer had to suffer his beatings or do those chores!

As expected of me, Kalibu, even these treasures now belong to me!

Caribu thought with excitement.

But soon, he calmed down, and when he thought of Joel's unpredictable nature, he couldn't help but shuddered, and whispered:

"But we can't just relax our vigilance. The most dangerous place is the safest. I'm going to hide on this island for a while. I'll wait until that guy completely gives up looking for me, and then I'll find a chance to leave here!"

…

The sky was getting darker and darker, and after passing through the jungle with mottled tree shadows, I saw that the setting sun in the sky had half-dark.

Joel stopped, looked at the sky and said lyrically: "It's been a long time since I took a walk under such a beautiful sunset. How do you feel...ma'am?"

No one responded, and in the quiet jungle there was only the sound of the wind, which spread far into the distance like the chirping of cranes.

After a while, a graceful figure walked out of the darkness of the jungle.

She wore a white jazz hat, covering her short black hair.

Wearing a black short lining on the upper body, revealing her slender waist.

The lower body is paired with a pair of tight jeans, which perfectly outlines the figure.

"I should know, there's no way I can hide."

As soon as he met Nico Robin, a perfect smile appeared on his face.

This is her usual expression when walking in the underground world.

Whether she is surprised, nervous or sad, she will hide her true emotions with this smile.

At the same time, it will not make people feel too indifferent and create hostility towards her.

But if she could, she didn't want to smile like this at the man in front of her.

The intuition that had saved her from countless difficulties told her that even the scheming and conspiratorial Crocodile was far less dangerous than the one in front of her.

But at this time, she had no choice.

"Sorry, no one likes to get into trouble."

Robin stopped and looked at the figure who was much taller than her.

"So you think I'm trouble...?"

Joel touched his chin and said somewhat intriguingly.

"No……"

After Robin was stunned for a moment, he showed a slightly bitter smile.

"You misunderstood me. 'Trouble' refers to myself. No one except some idiots wants to have anything to do with me."

"Then, I think you have misunderstood me. I am not an idiot, nor am I a bad person with malicious intentions."

Joel smiled like a gentleman and said, "Just a treasure hunter who happened to be passing by."

Although she didn't know the other party's details, Robin was somewhat relieved by the non-hostile words. She looked calm and casually asked: "A single...treasure hunter?"

"of course not."

Joel took out a piece of paper with red letters engraved on it and placed it in his palm, watching with some fascination as the paper pointed to a certain direction and fluttered, "It's just that my entourage seems to be a little lost."
