It is definitely not Aokiji who will meet Maud here.

What I just said about getting lost is not a joke.

I can only say that it is indeed beyond Aokiji's expectation to encounter the Maud Pirates here.

But since you have met it, it is normal to sit down and chat, fill your stomach and so on.

While waiting for Maud's answer, Aokiji used his ability to create a pair of chopsticks that emitted cold air.

If that woman named Jia Ya was there, she would definitely hand over clean dishes and chopsticks again.

Aokiji thought in his heart, picked up a piece of stewed meat with ice chopsticks, stuffed it directly into his mouth, and then showed a satisfied expression.

around.

Everyone led by Lafayette looked at Aokiji who was eating openly with strange eyes.

Maud held his hands together, pressed his chin, and looked at Aokiji who was chewing the stewed meat.

After a second or two of silence, he nodded and answered Aokiji's question in this simplest way.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Aokiji swallowed the stewed meat and looked at Maud, who was interested in looking at the calm face.

"It has been less than a month since I came to the 'New World', and it's so 'out of the ordinary'... Among the people I know, you, Bacardi and Maud, can do it."

"Kuzan, if you come for free, eat quietly."

Mode turned his head slightly, and from the corner of his eyes, there were ice chopsticks in Aokiji's hand that were busy picking up meat.

Aokiji didn't speak anymore, but the speed of picking up meat and the frequency of chewing were significantly improved.

In the entire tavern, only Aokiji kept eating meat was left.

After eating all the stewed meat in a huge bowl and plate, Aokiji breathed a sigh of relief, put down the ice chopsticks with satisfaction, then raised his arm and wiped off the soup stains on his mouth with his cuffs.

“Thank you for the hospitality.”

Aokiji's eyes left from the bowl with only one soup base, slowly raised it up and landed on Maud's face.

"I originally planned to walk around and check something with my own eyes, but I didn't expect to meet you on the first island of my journey, which made me...the idea of ​​changing my itinerary."

"oh?"

Mode raised his eyebrows slightly, looked at Aokiji, whose sunglasses covered all the signs of emotions, and placed his hands flat on the table, and said lightly: "Can you want to 'always' stay with me for free?"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Aokiji scratched his head with his right hand stained with a little soup, and said seriously and straightforwardly: "It's true."

“!!!”

When everyone in the Maud Pirates heard Aokiji's words, they all showed surprise.

On the other hand, Mode still looked calm and without any turmoil.

"Then stay, it just so happens that I lack an ice maker on the boat."

"Is the ice maker..."

Aokiji smiled helplessly at first, and then looked at Maud carefully.

There was no hesitation at all.

This man is still so unexpected...

Aokiji thought silently in his heart.

"Boss!"

"Captain, this guy was still a navy general a few days ago..."

Seeing that Mod let Aokiji join in so easily, the members of the Mod Pirates were not happy and excited to add a new top combat power to the team, but were worried, just as they wrote on their face that Aokiji was probably a naval spy.

Mode raised his hand, and with just one gesture, everyone who was about to persuade him was silent.

"Pirates should live as they please, but the rules cannot be avoided."

Maud raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

A dark night owl flew out from the shadows reflected on the floor, took out a small and exquisite red-sided wine bowl from the dining cabinet in the tavern, then flapped his wings and flew in front of Aokiji, and put the red-sided wine bowl down.

Smack-

After putting down the red-sided wine bowl, Ye Xiao turned into a palm shape in mid-air, landed on the table, lifted up the wine pot, and poured the wine into the red-sided bowl.

After doing these things, the shadow hand sank into the table and returned to the shadow.

"Kuzan, what I just said 'always' is not a joke. What does this wine mean? I don't need to explain it specifically? So... do you have to make a decision?"

Maud pointed to the red-sided wine bowl filled with wine.

"Ah, should pirates do whatever they want... Even if I'm not a navy anymore, this sentence still sounds harsh."

Aokiji looked at the red-sided wine bowl, paused, and continued:

"It's just that some things, as a 'pirate', may be able to see more clearly."

Before he finished speaking, Aokiji simply raised his glass and drank the wine in his glass in one sip.

From this moment on, the former Navy General Aokiji became a member of the Mod Pirates, and he was also... carrying the identity of a pirate.

"this……"

The members of the Mod Pirates stared at Aokiji who was drinking.

If someone from a normal point joins the team, they should have warmly welcomed their new teammates.

But the man in front of him was still the general of the Navy headquarters a few days ago...

Now, he has inexplicably become their new teammate.

Too magical...

Due to Aokiji's sensitive identity, they seemed to have forgotten how to welcome new members of the group, and they were all silent.

At this time, Bailey, who was drunk on his face, walked along the table with his chubby short legs and came to Aokiji along the table.

"Hey, let me tell you, the seniority in the group is arranged according to the time of joining the group, so call Senior Bailey and listen!"

"?"

Aokiji tilted his head and looked at Bailey in confusion.

Seeing Aokiji unresponsive, Bailey bared her teeth and opened her mouth to exhale a sip of alcohol.

"Wo is the veteran of the Pirates. It's not too much to ask you to call Wo Senior?"

"So there is such a saying..."

Aokiji also opened his mouth and exhaled.

But what he exhaled was not the smell of alcohol, but the cold air of frozen bones.

At the same time, borneol slowly condensed from his cheeks.

Bailey was thrown on her body by a sip of cold air and couldn't help but shivered. Her drunkenness dissipated for more than half of the time, and she also had the courage to be verified by the drunkenness.

"Brother, do you need a pair of clean dishes? You can get the nest for you now!"

"Ah, I'll bother you."

Aokiji nodded slightly at Bailey.

Seeing this, Bailey turned around and ran like a rabbit.

Finally, the task of delivering dishes and chopsticks was thrown on Jim's head.

Inside the bar.

The tavern owner, who had been deliberately declining his presence, was looking at Aokiji sitting opposite Maud in shock.

"Damn...what day is today?"

"The Maud Pirates, who don't even care about the Tianlong people, will come to my broken shop to drink and eat!"

"The former Navy General Aokiji is here too!"

"And in this broken store... joined the Maud Pirates?"

The tavern owner seemed to be in a dream.

Outside the tavern.

The old boatman with very skilled ears seemed to have "heard" what happened in the tavern, just like the tavern owner, his face was full of shock.

"The vacant position of the Four Emperors... seems to be about to come to an end."

The old boatman murmured in a low voice, his tone filled with awe.

"I didn't expect that after living for most of my life, I still have the opportunity to repair a boat for such an amazing group of guys. Are you planning to let me live a few more years? Oh hehe..."

After saying that, the old boatman cheered up and started repairing the ship.

A week passed.

The repair work of the Mingtu is coming to an end.

While the old boatman was resting, Maud and Lafayette came to the port together and inspected the most damaged parts of the Mine.

After a while, I only saw some repair traces.
To be continued...
