Pirate: My partner is too crooked

As the sun sets, the vast sea surface scatters orange light, echoing the fiery red clouds on the horizon, forming a beautiful and harmonious natural picture.

The Infinite Dream docks on the shore in front of the Twin Gap Lighthouse, rising and falling with the gentle waves.

Next to it, a huge head appeared on the sea level like a hill.

That’s cool down Raab.

"I see, you are Shanks' friends."

Kurokas sat under a sun umbrella with his legs crossed. Because he was wearing beach pants, the hair on his legs could be clearly seen.

After borrowing a favor from Shanks who was far away in the New World, Lin Zhi succeeded in getting closer to Kurokas.

"Speaking of which, the brat who used to make noises with Red-Nosed Bucky seems to have gained some fame in the new world..."

Kurokas changed into a comfortable sitting position and looked sideways at the magnificent ocean ahead, his eyes full of emotion.

Although he didn't stay on Roger's ship for very long, he had a very deep impression on the two children, Shanks and Bucky, who were both crew members.

"However, I didn't expect you to refuse that guy's invitation to board the ship."

Kurokas retracted his distant gaze and turned to look at the young man sitting opposite.

"After all, I am a serious ordinary businessman. I can't adapt to the dangerous and cruel life of a pirate." Lin Zhi said without blushing.

Pfft.

Aqua couldn't help laughing when she heard this.

How can you, a sinister guy who traps pirates in exchange for bounties, have the dignity to say such a thing?

After some understanding, the stupid goddess finally realized her stupidity, but she was so stubborn that she did not admit it and rejected Kurokas's offer to treat her head on the spot.

Hearing this, Kurokas glanced at everyone present with extremely serious eyes.

There is a strong blond man with three scratches on his face who looks like a ruthless character, a cat that walks on two legs and can speak human language, and a beautiful girl with severe cognitive impairment.

And the young man in front of me with two famous swords tied around his waist...

"Let's put aside whether they are serious or not. The people I saw in the newspaper are not ordinary businessmen."

Although this is the Grand Line, it is after all the closest to the intersection of the four seas, and apart from taking care of Rab, Kurokas spends most of his time reading newspapers.

Lin Zhi, who has endless dreams of restaurants on the sea, still has a general understanding of this newly emerged "Hero of the East China Sea".

This was also the fundamental reason why he was so shocked and surprised when he heard that Aqua actually thought of him as a baby whale.

It is really hard to imagine that this mentally disturbed girl would be the mysterious "Water Goddess" in the newspapers!

"Our reputation has spread to the Grand Line." Lin Zhi smiled and scratched his head.

He thought that news from the East China Sea would rarely circulate to the Grand Line. If that were the case, wouldn't his plan to offer a bounty to pirates through fishing at the sea restaurant become another obstacle?

No, that's not right either.

Due to the inexplicable sense of superiority that the pirates of the Grand Line have, after hearing about the strength of the sea restaurant, they are more likely to come out and cause trouble!

Not bad, not bad, I heard such good news just after arriving at the Grand Line!

Lin Zhi seemed to see countless bounties lining up to wave to him!

Kurokas saw all the changes in his expression: This guy is definitely not a serious businessman...

"So, when you meet me, it shouldn't be as simple as just chatting, right?" He asked, changing the subject.

"If possible, I would like to ask you for a record pointer." Lin Zhi said truthfully.

The navigation skills he learned in Windmill Village were barely enough to navigate the East China Sea, but when it came to the Great Sea Route, where the environment and climate were weird and changeable, this superficial knowledge seemed to be a bit stretched.

Therefore, he wanted to learn more detailed information from the experienced Kurokas.

"You even know the record pointer. It seems that you have long been prepared to explore the Grand Route."

Kurokas looked up at the Infinite Dream and said slowly, "What's the price?"

"If you don't mind, please come to the boat for a light meal."

"Is there any wine?"

“How about the special soju from Rogge Town?”

"It tasted good once, so let's go."

In this way, the smiling parties reached an agreement.

"Eh? Eh?!!" Aqua, who had been eating melon the whole time, was dumbfounded.

Only the injured world of the Water Goddess was successfully realized!

In fact, with Shanks' face, even if Lin Zhi said nothing, Kurokas would take care of him.

The reason why Lin Zhi specially invited him to dinner and drinks was because he had a deeper plan.

The world of pirates is not just about fighting and killing, it is more about human relationships.

Establish a good relationship with Roger the Pirate King's ship's doctor, and when he meets Rayleigh in the Chambord Islands, he will have another "face" that can be used.

Although it may not be used, if the price is only one meal, it is worth it no matter how you think about it.

Of course, what businessmen value most is "profit"!

What I’m best at is drawing pie!

By saying "I'll buy you better wine in the future", Lin Zhi successfully controlled Aqua, who looked unwilling.

The stupid goddess took the initiative to contribute the special soju she had treasured without even thinking about it.

A few people ate and drank in the restaurant on the first floor of the Infinite Dream until the sky gradually darkened.

During this period, through the popularization of Kurokas, Lin Zhi gained a deeper understanding of the conditions of the Grand Line, and successfully obtained the record pointer from the former.

The next wish-making condition in the wishing fountain is not clear.

In addition to the basic monetary condition of 100 million beli, the other is the ambiguous [something expensive beyond estimation].

Lin Zhi doesn't have any clue about this thing yet, and he can't find the corresponding one through the world view of the original work.

At least on the route Luffy chose, there were no suspicious items.

Starting from the Twin Gorges, there are a total of seven routes that can reach the New World, the second half of the Grand Line.

According to the best advice given by Kurokas regarding the special career of the sea restaurant, Lin Zhi chose a different route from the Straw Hat Pirates to try his luck after some reflection.

Of course, this is just a preliminary plan.

If you have any special ideas in the future, such as going to Alabasta to bring heavy rain to the drought-stricken citizens, you can still achieve it through the permanent pointer.

The so-called route is actually not really fixed.

After successfully solving the route problem, the only thing left is naturally the stubborn whale Rabu.

Compared with Luffy's simple and crude fist attacks and fighting arrangements, Lin Zhi's approach was much more elegant and efficient.

That is……

"Although it is a pirate song, let's sing it as a supplement to the banquet to celebrate our successful entry into the Grand Line and to welcome Meow Meow to join us."

"Binx's wine!"

The first island and subsequent islands are not original, but appear in the original work. The route will become more, um, worse due to Aqua's troubles.
