Pirates: The first partner is Tom Cat

Chapter 177 The Amber sails happily, probably

"By the way, I haven't asked you what your name is yet, and where are you from?"

"Esmeralda, my name is Esmeralda." The dancer said carefully, "I am originally from the Kingdom of Corkia in the East China Sea."

"Korgia?"

"I don't know who attacked the kingdom, but there were many people like me who were kidnapped in the chaos. I don't know what happened to them now." Speaking of the kingdom being invaded and those who had a similar fate to myself, I love

Smeralda was a little sad.

"I'm afraid the situation there isn't going to be too good now. Do you still want to go back?" Xia Qi reminded that Kokia is a non-franchised country, even if it is attacked by Germa brazenly carrying a special large snail across the red continent.

People manage.

A captured kingdom is now most likely to face internal chaos, invasion from neighboring countries, and harassment by pirates. The situation of ordinary people there may not be very good.

"Well! My family is all there. If I never go back..." Esmeralda bowed to Reilly and Xia Qi respectively, "Anyway, thank you two benefactors for saving me. Next I will

I will find a way to go back by myself. If my benefactor needs help before that, I will try my best to help."

Esmeralda didn't want to cause any more trouble to her benefactor, but it would be nice if she could repay a little kindness before leaving.

"It doesn't require you to do anything..." Lei Li and Xia Qi looked at each other. They were not bad people, but it was hard to ignore such a kind-hearted girl.

Originally, there was so much slave trade in the illegal zone every day, and they pretended not to know about it, but this incident hit him in the face, and he didn't care about it.

"That little guy can really cause trouble for people." Rayleigh cursed in a low voice first, and then said with a smile, "Actually, I want to go to the East China Sea to visit old friends recently. If you don't mind, how about coming with me?"

"Huh? But..." Esmeralda wanted to thank you for your kindness, but she didn't say clearly that it was for her as a gift.

"It's nothing to worry about. I'll have to take care of my old bones from now on."

"Yes!" Esmeralda covered her mouth, almost falling into the abyss twice in a row, and being rescued twice in a row, "Thank you... thank you..."

Although I didn't want to lose my composure, my tears couldn't stop flowing.

"It won't look good when you cry." Rayleigh smiled. He was thinking about whether he should go to the East China Sea to see the child Shanks mentioned, and... whether he should interfere with the other child.

"Let's have something to eat and rest first." Xia Qi took Esmeralda to sit down and prepared some food for her.

…

On the other side, the Amber has just left the Chambord Islands.

A pure white flag on the mast fluttered in the wind, with a smiling cat's head painted on it, which contrasted nicely with the Tom statue on the bow.

The full name of the ship, HOPE DIAMOND, is written in an arch on the front sail. Below the words are portraits of all the members. If you ask who painted it, it must be Tom.

With such a ship and flag, anyone who takes a look at it will think that it is a happy ship.

However, at this time, Mr. Zhang Daye, the nominal captain of the ship, had a face full of entanglements: "I always feel that something is wrong if we set sail like this."

Now we are not far from Shampoo, the wind direction is stable, and the rudder and sails do not need to be watched all the time. Everyone is gathered together, and only Rui Mengmeng is guarding the observation deck of the main mast.

It is said to be an observation deck, but it is actually a small room strung on the mast. It should probably be called an observation room. It is surrounded by special glass windows to prevent wind, rain and hail without affecting the view.

In addition to the necessary tables and chairs, telescopes and loudspeakers, there are also some books and exercise equipment indoors to prevent the observers from getting bored.

It's just that I didn't seem to be good at reading when I was in charge of this position. Rui Mengmeng is now looking around with a telescope in a novel way.

Shark Chili was leaning on the railing and carefully observing the sea currents, verifying the knowledge he had learned, and checking the heading from time to time. At this time, he heard Zhang Daye's words and asked: "All preparations have been made, what else is missing?"

?”

"There's almost an atmosphere." Zhang Daye said, "For example, if I shout, 'Target the Seven Islands of Water, set sail, set sail!', and then you all respond enthusiastically with 'Oh!!!' or something like that."

He thought that when the Hatters entered the Grand Line and announced their dream to split barrels together to encourage them, it would be better to learn how to do it.

Shark Chili tried to follow Zhang Daye's thinking and asked: "Then why didn't you shout in the dock just now?"

Zhang Da also said awkwardly: "There were too many people just now. If you didn't cooperate, I would feel very ashamed."

Arturia took a sip of the juice through a straw and asked, "Then do I need to fold up the sails and let you shout once?"

Although it's a bit troublesome, we are all on a trip, so Artoria doesn't mind playing along with Zhang Da.

"Forget it, next time." Zhang Da was also a little discouraged. The people most likely to cooperate with him here were actually Rui Mengmeng and Tom. But now Rui Mengmeng sticks to his post, and Tom is lying on the beach chair lazily basking in the sun.

Don't bother them anymore.

Taking advantage of the calm weather, Zhang Da also stood on the bow of the ship and watched the vast sea, and then ran to the stern of the ship to take a look at the gradually smaller shampoo field. If there were poets here, they would probably be able to recite poetic verses with artistic conception, and Zhang Da

I can only think about whether I should exercise or go fishing next.

Probably because we have completely left the climate zone of the Shampoo Islands, the waves on the sea gradually become less gentle, and the wind direction and force also change from time to time.

Zhang Daye and the others also had to get busy, turning the helm or adjusting the sail under the command of Shark Chili.

Rui Mengmeng's voice came from the loudspeaker: "At 11 o'clock, there is a big dark cloud on the horizon!"

Zhang Da also tried his best to look at the black sky: "It can't be a storm, right? It happened just after I went out, so unlucky?"

"It's not surprising to encounter one. The probability of encountering a storm on the Grand Line is very high. It's not surprising even if it happens once a day."

Yes, it is abnormal to be like Zhang Daye and Tom wandering for five days in calm conditions. Either they are lucky, or they are too close to the climate zone of the Shampoo Islands.

Shark Pepper looked at the pointer, then at the horizon, and continued: "I guess there is no way around it, so prepare to break through. I hope it's just a storm."

According to the boatmen, in a place like the Grand Line, it would not be surprising if a knife fell from the sky, but you would be lucky if you encountered a storm.

"It's coming, get ready!" Shark Pepper yelled.

Artoria had already stood at the bow of the ship, holding the steering wheel. Rui Mengmeng also came down from the observation deck and stood with Zhang Daye, and even Tom stood upright with his chest raised.

I actually mentioned the fact that Germa killed a certain kingdom in the East China Sea very early, but I don’t know if anyone remembers it...

If no one remembers it, it’s really my fault for being too slow in updating, eh eh eh…
