Pirates: Beyond Akainu

Chapter 20 My Name Is Trunks
Pirate Island, Gormches.

This is a deep uphill stairway. The air is full of various unknown gases, but the smell is not unpleasant when mixed.

"Hey Maria, do you want a drink?"

"no need."

Maria declined the drunkard sitting at the corner of the house and continued to take Akainu and Turan up the mountain.

Turan looked around, feeling like he was in a criminal's den. He was timid and scared, so he held Akainu's arm tightly.

Akainu was in no mood to pay attention to him, but looked curiously at the pirates coming along the way.

Some people are soliciting customers, some are doing business directly in the grass; some are swearing, some are gathering in groups around a little beauty; some are drinking, some are talking about business with their fingers; some are smoking...

Decadence, indulgence, dissipation, violence, despair...

"Want to come and play? The mermaid just arrived." The sexy woman with her breasts exposed stopped Akainu.

Akainu shook his head indifferently and avoided the woman. This was his seventh rejection after going up the stairs.

"Boss, it's so scary. They seem to be eating people over there." Turan pointed to the red window next to him.

Akainu looked over, and what he saw made his pupils dilate instantly.

"It's not a human, it's just a hairless ape. The brain is a specialty of Gomches." Maria continued to lead the way without looking back, turning a blind eye to the surrounding scene.

Akainu breathed out, didn't say anything, and continued to follow.

at last.

The stairway reached halfway up the mountain, and the number of houses and people began to decrease.

"It's here."

Maria walked to a boulder, and showed two 100-berry coins to a black-robed guard standing by.

The guard gave way, activated the mechanism, and the boulder opened.

Akainu continued to follow Maria with great interest, and after passing through a long tunnel...

suddenly see the light!The lights are brilliant!The crowd is buzzing!
"Oooo!"

"Have you tried the taste of a mermaid? Hehe."

"What the hell, I know there is an island with centaurs."

"I suffered a huge loss in my last transaction, what about you?"

"Forget it, I shouldn't have gone to rob Sisiro Town and lost dozens of my brothers."

"Drink! Brothers! Celebrate the 24th anniversary of the founding of our Nanshan Pirates!"

"Ooooooooooooooo!"

The inside of the mountain was hollowed out, with layers extending upward like pagodas, with a large ship hanging in the center of the highest point.

Akainu was also surprised by the sight before him.

"It's so spacious!" Turan's eyes widened. He suddenly saw something and pointed downward: "There is water below. Can a boat come in?"

Maria: "Small and medium-sized sailboats are allowed. There is an underground passage, but not everyone's boat is eligible to enter."

"The place we are going to is still going up, over here." Maria continued to lead the way and introduced at the same time: "This is the original Gomches. At that time, we had to avoid the navy's pursuit. It was here where Whitebeard dominated. It took more than ten years for Gomches to develop outwardly."

Maria waved her hand away from those who were in the way, and continued, "Actually, the interior of this mountain is no longer as good as the exterior. No matter what you eat or play, it's just that some nostalgic pirates like to hide in it."

Akainu listened to the introduction and followed Maria towards the highest point of the pit.At the same time, he saw that the wall covered with a layer of cement was covered with wanted posters, densely packed, and he also saw members of the Straw Hat Pirates.

Finally, Maria led Akainu and the two to the door with a wanted poster with a white beard on it.

Bounty: 50 billion 4600 million Berry Overlord Pirate Whitebeard, now this wanted poster has a red cross.

Maria pushed open the copper door, which was only half her height, and stepped aside: "Big Beardy, please come in."

Akainu and the two entered the door.

The first thing I feel is the soothing and pleasant music.

When Maria stooped in and closed the door, she was completely isolated from the noise outside.

Inside the room was a tavern decorated as brightly as the starry sky.

"Wow! What a beautiful place!" Turan exclaimed.

Akainu saw that the tavern was not big, with only a dozen or so including the bartender and customers.The strange thing is that there is soft light shining everywhere, and the edges are even more gorgeous and profound. Being in it is like sitting in the universe drinking wine.

"Sister Maria, it's been a long time since you came."

A white-haired bartender girl wearing a black silk suit came to greet Maria with a tray and a sweet smile.

"Well, long time no see, Liya."

Liya: "Sister Maria, go and sit at the bar. I'll be here to entertain you right away."

Maria: "Send some more food and open my best bottle of wine. I want to entertain my friends."

Liya: "Okay, Sister Maria."

bar.

Food and wine were served.

Maria toasted Akainu first, and Akainu clinked glasses with her.Then he started eating hard.

And Turan was fascinated by the surrounding environment, and seemed to like this bright space very much.

"How did you achieve such a beautiful environment?" Turan couldn't help but ask.

Maria put down her glass and shouted: "Liya."

Liya put down the wine glass she was cleaning and ran over to explain: "I created it, because I am a bright person who ate the bright fruit, and I can make anything I touch with my hands shine in any color."

As Liya spoke, she touched Turan's golden hair. The golden hair emitted red, orange, blue, and purple light in her hands. Once she touched it again, it returned to its original state.

Turan: "Ah! I know this fruit. It was once rated among the top ten most useless fruits."

Liya: "Yes, I won't fight."

Akainu watched this scene while eating, and said: "It can be developed, such as emitting a strong light in an instant and blinding the enemy's eyes."

Liya tilted her head.

Turan nodded: "It's a direction!"

Maria on the side laughed: "Eliraisen, did you hear that? You wasted the bright fruit!"

"Vulgar! This is art, and art is light."

Before the person arrives, the sound arrives first.

Directly refuted Akainu's suggestion to develop the bright fruit in the direction of combat.

Maria introduced: "Big Beard, this is Ellie Leisen, the owner here, and also the owner of Gumches."

"Oh?" Akainu put down the plate and became interested.

Maria: "Beibei, don't underestimate this bearded man. His swordsmanship is as good as Bista's."

The person who arrived was wearing a gorgeous purple tunic dress, with his hair tied up, one side black and one side white. He had purple lipstick and eye shadow on his heavily made-up face. He was holding a long pipe and swept Akainu lightly. One glance.

"Is it tasty?"

Akainu nodded: "It's delicious. I've never eaten anything so delicious. It's even so delicious that I'm willing to accept Maria's apology."

Elle Raisen looked at Akainu carefully. Suddenly, her thin eyebrows raised, she took a puff from the cigarette in her hand, and turned around to leave.

"Then eat, you foolish man."

Akainu shrugged, ignored it, and continued eating.

After eating.

Akainu and Maria started drinking and asked, "Can you tell me a story? About you, Whitebeard, and the Ellie Rayson just now."

Maria picked up the barrel and took a sip: "I am just a retired pirate, Whitebeard is dead, Beibei is a monster, there is nothing to say."

Akainu: "I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Trunks. I have been practicing swordsmanship in the mountains for 40 years. I just came out of the mountain. My goal is to become the world's greatest swordsman."

Turan, who was chatting closely with Liya on the other side, suddenly looked up.

Maria laughed out loud: "The greatest swordsman in the world, not bad."

"Yes." Akainu looked serious.
