Veins popped up on Sanji's head at the old man's answer.

Although this answer seemed to be fine, for some reason, Sanji always felt like he was being fooled.

Suddenly, he wanted to rush up and fight the old man.

"How dare you look down on us!"

"Okay, okay, don't get excited."

Zoro patted Sanji's shoulder, pulled him behind him, and asked the old man directly.

"Hey, old man, can you tell us? Where is this place and who are you?"

"When asking others questions, it's polite to first report your name, isn't it?"

The old man asked back.

"That's... not wrong, I'm so sorry."

What the old man said was indeed reasonable, and Zoro felt a little embarrassed when he heard it, so he quickly introduced himself first.

"My name is, Luo Luo..."

"My name is Crocus, I am the lighthouse keeper of Gemini Cape, I am 71 years old, Gemini, AB type..."

Obviously, Zoro was interrupted by old man Crocus before he finished introducing himself.

Zoro was instantly furious after being interrupted.

"Can I kill him?!!"

In the end, Zoro did not do it under the persuasion of Ji Shengling.

"Haha, this old man is so interesting! Hey! Old man! Do you want to be my crew member?"

Luffy didn't care about Crocus's behavior at all, but laughed and invited him.

This made Crocus stunned. Thinking back to the past, he seemed to be the same as the boy in front of him!

The same invitation, the same smile.

"Hey, Crocus, do you want to be my crew member?"

The old man who had passed away long ago once again appeared in his mind.

Looking at Luffy who looked so much like him, Crocus smiled and shook his head.

"Although I did have an experience as a ship doctor on a pirate ship before, let's forget it now. I'm an old man and I don't have the energy to fool around like you young people."

Crocus's statement not only did not disappoint Luffy, but made him even more excited.

"Sgei! Old man, were you a pirate before?"

At this time, Ji Shengling pretended to remember something and spoke to attract everyone's attention.

"A pirate ship doctor named Crocus? Then this old man must have a great background. I'm right, right? He's the ship doctor of the Pirate King!"

Hearing Ji Shengling's statement, the Straw Hat Pirates, who were originally indifferent, widened their eyes at the same time.

What did they hear? !

The ship doctor of the Pirate King? ! !

Was this old man, who looked a little strange, a member of the Roger Pirates back then? !

Zoro and Sanji, who originally wanted to chop and beat up the old man, were in disbelief.

"He... is really a crew member of the Pirate King?!!"

Speaking of which, the old man encountered in the belly of the whale would be a crew member of the Pirate King. This kind of thing does have an indescribable sense of rationality.

But this inexplicable encounter is a little abnormal!

Ji Shengling didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Whether it was Crocus at the entrance of the Grand Line, Rayleigh at the midpoint of the Sabaody Archipelago, or even someone who might appear in front of the Last Island in the future, these were all the little thoughts of Roger's Pirates.

Even the straw hat that Shanks gave to Luffy was, in a sense, a code within Roger's Pirates!

"Oh?"

For the first time, there was curiosity in Crocus' eyes. Hearing Roger's name, he first glanced at the Straw Hat Pirates with a sharp look, and then laughed.

"I didn't expect that there are still people who remember my name today. You know, even the navy doesn't have time to care about us old guys!"

Although he didn't point it out directly, it is indisputable that the old man admitted that he was a member of Roger's pirate group.

"Sgei! Grandpa, you are so awesome!"

Hearing that Crocus was a member of the Pirate King, Luffy immediately lost the idea of ​​recruiting him. But this did not prevent him from looking at Crocus with admiration.

Ji Shengling shook his head indifferently at Crocus's statement.

"It's nothing. As a crew member of the Pirate King, your names will be remembered by many people in the world. Whether it is the legendary right-hand man of the Pirate King, Rayleigh and Jabba, or the famous Douglas Barrett, or the former trainee pirate, the current [Four Emperors] Shanks, this old man is naturally among them!"

Crocus just smiled and shook his head at Ji Shengling's statement.

"I can't compare with these old friends who are like monsters. I am just a ship's doctor.That's all."

Having said that, the old man's eyes were full of pride.

"Ah! So Shanks is also a member of the Pirate King's crew? !"

Luffy sighed.

Ji Shengling was stunned. He originally thought that Shanks had told Luffy about this when he was a child.

I don't know if Luffy heard this for the first time or if he had forgotten it. Both possibilities are possible.

"You don't know, Luffy? In fact, there are many people on the sea who know this. And not only Shanks, but also the [clown] Buggy we met in the East China Sea before. He is also a classmate of Shanks. "

"Ah? ! ! "

It would have been better if he hadn't said it. Once it was said, Zoro and Nami were also not calm.

"What did you say? That Buggy? !"

Nami looked incredulous.

"Hey, hey, is it true? That guy is also a classmate? And he is a classmate of the [Four Emperors]? ! "

Zoro recalled Buggy's fragile physique and felt that it was a bit outrageous.

"Baki? Did you even meet that kid?"

Hearing everyone's conversation, Crocus came over without hesitation.

"Speaking of that kid, I really miss him! That kid was quite timid, but he just liked treasures. Because of Shanks, he accidentally ate the Fracture Fruit, and then he didn't play with Shanks much. "

Well, although I still don't want to believe it, looking at Crocus' attitude, this matter is probably true.

After Buggy's identity as a member of the Pirate King's crew was exposed, the impression of Roger's Pirates in the hearts of the two people was slightly reduced, but because of this, they are more curious about what kind of people the other members of Roger's Pirates are.

The people who once defeated Buggy never thought that even though they had "sunk Buggy's body into the sea" before, this guy would still have a day to return.

Baki's body was salvaged by a group of younger brothers With the help of Alrita who ate the Slippery Fruit, they escaped the pursuit of the navy and successfully returned to the island in the East China Sea.

What is even more amazing is that even though the egg sac that was embedded with a bullet was stepped on several times by Nami, it was still able to recover intact after the bullet was removed.

This is certainly not caused by the strong self-healing ability of the pirate world, but the magical effect of a plant called "Basketball Iron Mountain Support" that Buggy accidentally ate during his escape, which looks similar to "Just Because".

I can only say that the luck of the Overlord Haki is so terrifying.
