Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 115: Pirate Town

Half a month later, the first half of the Grand Route...

"I see the island!"

The Maritime Doctor, who was acting as a lookout at the front of the deck, shouted while holding up a telescope.

"If nothing unexpected happens, that should be our next stop - Gaya Island."

The navigator held the nautical chart, squinted his eyes and looked in the direction indicated by the pointer and said.

"Hmm... If the logbook is correct, our final destination should be around here."

Wright sat in a chair and carefully looked through the log book in his hand.

At this moment, he frowned slightly and turned one of the pages of paper over and over again, as if he still had some doubts about what was recorded.

[Ocean currents, eruptions... Is this reliable?]
"Let's prepare for landing first. Once we get to the island, we'll ask around to see if the locals know anything."

Jin bent over and walked out of the cabin and gave the order to land.

"Wow~ Whose noble lady is finally showing up? She's truly the one who's been long-awaited~"

Osi, who was sitting on the side of the boat fishing boredly, heard Jhin's voice. Without turning around, he spoke in a sarcastic tone.

Anyone could sense the dissatisfaction with Jhin in her tone.

During the days in Paradise, whenever the group stopped at an island along the way to resupply, Jhin would hide in the cabin and not come out.

Of course, it would be fine if Jhin just stayed at home alone, but he also didn't allow others to stay on the island for long, and only gave them a very short time each time to buy supplies.

This made Osi, who always liked to jump around, very unhappy.

After finally escaping from La's control, she still wanted to have a good critical decadence in the colorful world outside.

The 50,000 Baileys that Burfat donated as a friendly donation have not been spent yet.

Jhin ignored Osi and walked over to Wright and talked to him about something, probably to confirm the arrangements after docking.

He had already found a way to deal with Osi. As long as he ignored her, she would stop bothering him if she got bored.

This is almost a universal method for dealing with all such people.

Sure enough, without getting any feedback, Osi seemed to have lost his battery and continued fishing on his own.

……

Mogu Town - a small town located on the west side of Gaya Island.

Unlike towns on other islands, the majority of residents in Magic Valley Town are pirates, and the rest are basically bounty hunters or members of underground organizations.

The reason for this personnel composition is not only because it is located in a remote sea area far away from the main jurisdiction of the navy, but there is actually a more important reason.

This is the location of the "Golden City - Shandora" mentioned in the story of "The Liar Rolando".

Although the King of the Kingdom of Lubnir had personally verified four hundred years ago that it was just a lie, it was simply made up by Rolando to deceive people.

But based on the simple idea of ​​"try your luck", even though they know there is no gold here, many people still regard it as a legendary adventure place.

As the recording pointers became more popular, people who gathered here from all over the world and the first half of the Grand Route were surprised to find that some pointers nearby were actually pointing vertically upwards!
So after "Shandora", a legend called "Sky Island" also began to spread here.

According to legend, it is a dream island made of clouds floating in the sky, inhabited by gods and angels with wings on their backs.

"Gold" and "Sky Island" are words that embody dreams and romance, appearing one after another, making this remote island on the great route suddenly feel like an adventure paradise.

Countless pirates and explorers with dreams and desire for adventure began to set foot on the island and slowly built a small town.

Yes, this pirate town existed long before the advent of the Great Pirate Age, and at that time, Magic Valley Town was still a town full of romantic and adventurous spirit.

At least, that was the case a hundred years ago.

Later, as time went by, people discovered that there was indeed nothing here.

There was no "gold," no "sky island," nothing at all. They'd been tricked!

Just like the king in the story of "Rolando" who was fooled!

They are even more foolish than that foolish king. They came here even though they already knew there was nothing here!

The higher the expectations, the greater the disappointment.

Loss, sadness, depression, anger and unspeakable shame...all kinds of negative emotions began to spread on the island at some point, and the whole island began to become like a powder keg.

Finally, one day.

A drunk pirate shouted in public, "'Sky Island' and 'Shandora' don't exist at all! The so-called treasure hunt and legend are nothing but empty fantasies of you fools!" After saying this, everyone exploded.

Almost overnight, the town of Mogu degenerated from a dreamland that everyone longed for to pursue into a lawless zone with all kinds of people and chaos.

"Dreams" and "adventures" became objects of ridicule and mockery, while "Sky Island" became a taboo, and everyone tacitly agreed not to mention it again.

However, compared to the beginning of the Great Pirate Era, when a large number of pirates poured in and the town's atmosphere completely changed to the hopeless pursuit of "reality" and "profit", there are still some people with "dreams" in the current Magic Valley Town.

Although the "dreams" of these people are dead, they have not yet been truly "buried".

……

In the largest tavern in town.

"Oh!"

A figure about 1.4 meters tall with an aura of 4.1 meters kicked open the door of the tavern and jumped directly onto the stool in front of the counter.

"Boss, warm up two bowls of orange juice and a plate of fennel beans."

"No."

The boss, who was wiping his wine glass, responded without even looking up.

"Um?!"

The figure seemed a little dissatisfied.

"Then give me a bowl of beef noodles, and add lots of cilantro."

"No."

At this time, the boss's hand holding the cup had slightly tightened, but he still did not look up.

"Not even this?"

"Then a free hot pot would be fine!"

"no!"

The boss behind the counter finally couldn't help it and knocked the cup in his hand directly on the table.

Bang!
"You are..."

But just when he was about to look up and teach this unreasonable kid a lesson, the other party spoke first.

"Are you deliberately looking for trouble? You don't have this, you don't have that, what kind of crappy shop do you run?!"

"you!"

The boss with a thick beard was almost choked by this trick of complaining first.

“Hahahaha!”
The other customers in the store burst into laughter when they saw this.

In this lively pub, anything interesting can become a side dish for everyone to enjoy while drinking.
