The next day after the finals.

Since people with hangovers don't have mornings, the time went straight to the afternoon.

The pub was a mess. It was open until late last night. The exhausted Darrow and the other two had no time to clean up. The sink at the bar was full of unwashed wine glasses, and the tables and chairs were placed in the store in all directions.

"It's really messy."

Darrow, who had just woken up, smiled bitterly at the mess on the floor of the store, but still picked up the broom to clean it up.

The Kanesada Sword Hall opposite the door.

Izumi Reiken and Suzuki were also cleaning up the garbage left by the banquet last night.

"Xiao Qian, you are injured, I can do these." Suzuki wanted to take the broom from Izumi Liqian.

But who is Izumi Liqian? As a swordsman, how could he let someone take away his weapon so easily? He just flipped his right hand, and the broom was like it was stuck to his hand, turning around for two weeks.

I don't know how he did it, but he subdued Miss Suzuki in two or three moves - he put the broom handle on her neck.

"Uh, sorry, sister Suzuki, it's a conditioned reflex." Izumi Liqian scratched his head awkwardly, and quickly took the broom off his neck.

"You... forget it!"

Suzuki was about to get angry, but when he thought of Izumi Liqian's injury, he held back, but still took the broom away with one hand and ran into the yard to take care of it himself.

"Tsk tsk, top-notch." Seeing this scene, Darrow praised and gave Izumi Liqian a thumbs up to show respect.

"Boss, excuse me." Facing Darrow's teasing, Izumi Reiken said embarrassedly.

"I understand. Kendo is like this. As the old saying goes, women will only affect your speed of drawing the sword!" Darrow explained seriously.

"Affect the speed of drawing the sword?" Izumi Reiken believed it and his face was full of horror: "This is too serious!!"

"Is it?" Darrow nodded seriously.

After hearing the two people's inappropriate conversation, Suzuki rushed out of the yard with his hands on his waist, walked quickly to Izumi Reiken, and tightened his ears: "Don't listen to this guy's nonsense."

After saying that, he stared at Darrow with a look of "warning you not to teach bad children", and pulled Izumi Reiken into the yard by the ear.

“Haha, this guy!!”

Daro remembered the frightened look of Izumi Riken just now, and couldn’t help but smiled and shook his head: “Quite humorous!”

While joking, Rector also woke up. After coming down from the attic, he kept yawning. It seems that he used his ability too hard last night and consumed too much physical energy.

“Awake so early?” Daro greeted Rector.

“Well, I can’t sleep, so I might as well get up early and work.” Rector said, then walked to the bar and started cleaning with a rag.

Seeing Rector so active, Daro felt a little embarrassed. After all, this guy had been diligently helping in the store for several days, which was also a return for his life-saving grace.

“I can see that you like this job very much.” Daro walked to the bar, leaned his right elbow on the edge of the bar, and said to Rector.

"Yeah." Rector sighed, turning on the faucet, rinsing the cups one by one, watching the foam being washed from his hands into the basin:

"Who would like to live a life of fear and displacement?"

"Can you tell me?" Darrow shrugged and pointed to the other's lower back, where the Dragon Hoof Mark was on his body.

"So Boss Darrow already knew it." Rector smiled bitterly, took out two rinsed cups, and activated his ability at the same time, filling the cups with wine.

"It's not good to drink right after getting up!" Darrow looked at the wine glass Rector handed over and raised his eyebrows.

"How can you tell a story without wine."

Rector ignored Darrow, moved a high stool to sit on it, took another sip of wine, and then told his experience in detail.

...

The wine glass was empty, the story was finished, and Darrow also roughly knew what kind of difficulties this guy who was hunted by CP0 had.

"What are your plans for the future?" Darrow asked Rector after listening to the story.

In fact, Rector should understand that Darrow can't keep him in the tavern forever.

Too dangerous.

Especially for Lu Jiu, keeping Rector by her side is like keeping a bomb that can be detonated at any time.

"I don't know, why think so much,

Maybe in a few days, he will be caught by the CP organization or the navy and killed on the street. "Rect shrugged.

"I plan to go out to sea in a few days. Do you want to come with me? Be my partner." Daro put the wine glass on the bar and solemnly invited Rect.

"Go out to sea?" Rect was a little puzzled and even repeated the key words in Daro's words.

"To be precise, it's a pirate! How about it, do you want to come?" Daro explained and issued a formal invitation to Rect.

"Hey!" Rect let out a strange cry in surprise.

He couldn't help but be shocked. In his opinion, Daro, who lived a stable and prosperous life, really had no reason to be a pirate.

"But...but I'm provoking the Celestial Dragons! ! "Rect said with difficulty, his face flushed.

In his eyes, Darrow, who could defeat Owen, was indeed a very reliable partner, and even took him in when he was in the most dangerous time, but because of this, he didn't want to drag Darrow into the water.

"Mom, just a Celestial Dragon..." Darrow waved his hand and looked completely indifferent. As a person who had received nine years of compulsory education, he had no awe for these guys who called themselves "descendants of the Creator".

Besides, what's wrong with beating up Celestial Dragons.

He didn't believe that Luffy could protect Robin, who could break a hundred years of blank history, but he couldn't protect Rect, who beat up Celestial Dragons.

"But Celestial Dragons can be commanded..." Rect thought Darrow had no idea about Celestial Dragons, so he wanted to explain.

"It's the admiral of the navy, right? "Daro interrupted Rector directly, and then waved his hand to signal him to relax.

"Now the Rocks Pirate Alliance is in its heyday, and the Navy is unlikely to dispatch the Navy Admirals to go out for operations, at least not in the next few years."

"And in a few years, we will have entered the New World, and the Navy will be even more out of reach at that time, so relax, there are many people in this world who have made bigger troubles than you." Daro analyzed it in detail.

The current Navy is not the Navy of the future that will gather the three admirals of red, yellow and blue. In addition to Zefa and Garp, the only admiral-level combat power left is Sengoku, who is designated as the future Navy Marshal.

Zefar is still "not killing admirals" now, and Sengoku generally does not leave Marinford. Can the Celestial Dragons still command that unreliable Garp??

"Then Boss Daro, please take care of me in the future." After hearing Daro's answer, Rector stood up from his chair excitedly.

"That's settled then. "Daro slapped the board, decided on his first crew member, and patted the other party on the shoulder and said:

"Call me captain in the future!"

After the conversation, Daro and Rector cleaned up the tavern roughly, leaving only some odds and ends. Lu Jiu just woke up, so Daro handed the rest of the work to the two of them.

He planned to go to the dock to take a look and count the supplies again. After a day or two, when everything was settled, he would go out to sea directly.

………………………………

At the same time.

The CP0 trio also came to this central area that they had always ignored. At this moment, they were looking for clues with the counterweights left by Daro.

The first thing to bear the brunt was the surrounding blacksmith shops and hardware stores.

Finally, the group pushed open the blacksmith shop where Daro made the counterweights.

"What would the guests like? "

Because the competition was over, the blacksmith had no business these days. When he saw the few people coming in, he greeted them enthusiastically.

Bode and the others didn't say anything, but their eyes kept patrolling the shop. Quili, who was standing by, spoke first, pointed at the counterweight in Burdo's hand and asked, "Uncle, have you seen this kind of thing?"

The blacksmith looked in the direction of Quili's finger and kept muttering in his heart, "Isn't this the iron lump I just made for that kid a few days ago?"

Fortunately, the blacksmith was smart. Seeing that the few people were dressed strangely and behaved suspiciously, he thought that he couldn't cheat Darrow, so he wanted to evade the question.

"No, the boss must know..." Burdo shouted loudly. He was careful and read something from the blacksmith's expression at a glance.

Before he finished speaking.

Bode had already pounced forward, subdued the uncle, and pressed him hard to the ground.

"Tell me, where have you seen this thing? "Bode asked viciously, and at the same time, fearing that the other party would not be honest, he broke the uncle's right hand that had been holding the hammer for many years with his right hand.

"Ah! !" The blacksmith uncle wailed.

"This thing was made by a young man, it has nothing to do with me."

"The tavern, the boy is in the tavern."

"Porter Tavern."
