Wu Fengshui gently clapped his hands, keeping up with Bai Mucheng's rhythm.

"Eee-ya-ha~! Raise the sails—"

As soon as the girl spoke, her friends around her realized what was happening.

[Hyotei] Himuro Ryo and [Tora] Wakatsuki Takeshi exchanged a glance; the former snapped his fingers, while the latter lightly stomped his foot.

Bang! Bang!

"Ee er ya ha~! Let the stars be our guide..."

"Ee-er-ya-ha~! Onward to the treasure—"

After the two finished singing, [Ashura] Tokita Ohma clapped along to the rhythm, "Ee-er-ya-ha~! Save the rum for after the return voyage..."

Then, Shiraki Cheng turned his gaze to Wu Lei'an, the "Demon".

Wu Lei'an gave a soft "tsk" sound, but didn't disrupt the rhythm. He simply turned his head away to avoid being seen, and sang, "Ee-er ya-ha!"

【The Demon Spear】Kuroki Gensai is clearly not a singer, but he has a very good grasp of the melody.

"Heat the iron up—!"

"..."

At this point in the song, the "Unbound One" Oliva understood, raising an eyebrow and giving an embarrassed smile.

Saying that "we can no longer hear Kebar's songs" is a huge mistake. We can hear them perfectly clearly, can't we?

Oliva hummed softly.

"Abandon humility and politeness~~~~"

"Abandon patience and silence~~~~"

"Ee er ya ha!"

The rhythmic boat song also attracted the attention of other residents of the inner city not far away.

They were still basking in the afterglow of the battle's end, and naturally, they joined in the catchy tune and sang along.

"On moonlit nights, we hoist the anchor; on stormy nights, we raise the sails; guided by the stars, we set sail for the treasure..."

The vocals that make up the song become more complex, yet still clear, and increasingly passionate, making one feel as if they've drunk several large gulps of rum, causing their whole body to heat up.

The boat songs filled the air, transforming into a sea of ​​laughter and merriment, like a bonfire party by the sea.

Bai Mucheng looked around and listened to the song.

In that sense, you could say that you've achieved another kind of "establishment"?

—To establish a foothold in the inner city, and in the hearts of the people here.

"..."

Beside the open space, Anne Sakurai was bandaging Kebar's wound, providing emergency treatment.

Hearing the increasingly loud singing, she shook her head helplessly. "The stretcher is ready. Shall we move you to a quiet place to rest?"

"...No, it's okay."

Kebar's eyes were slightly narrowed. The demon mask had been wiped clean, and his face still had abrasions and bruises, but he looked very comfortable, as if he had just had a good sleep.

He smiled faintly, "To me, this sound is wonderful."

"..."

……

……

The following day, in the early morning.

Before dawn, a figure walked through the streets of the inner city.

He was wearing trousers, a headscarf, and his upper body was wrapped in bandages. He also had his coat draped over his back, swaying in the wind.

—It was none other than Mr. Kebar.

He got up early, without telling anyone, and headed straight for the exit of Erhu Street, intending to leave the inner city.

Once the battle was over, he could leave whenever he wanted, without any intention of saying goodbye.

However, the inner city has a large population, so even if you get up very early, you will still be noticed.

An early-rising gang member appeared on the street corner.

He scratched his head. "Boss, why are you taking this road? Are you going outside?"

"what……"

Kebar sighed helplessly, "Actually, I..."

"what!"

The gang member realized, "I just remembered, boss, aren't you from the inner city? Are you going home? Leaving after the fight?"

Kebar took a deep breath, smiled, and nodded. "Yes, I'm going home now."

The gang members didn't mince words. "It's a bit of a shame not to stay a few more days, but anyway—have a safe trip, boss, come visit Inner City sometime!"

"Oh... Ah, okay."

Kebar waved and said goodbye to the gang member with a smile.

But this commotion drew the attention of many people in the city. When they realized that Kebar was leaving, they all came out to say hello.

"Goodbye, boss!"

"Are you alright? You played too hard yesterday!"

"President! The strongest pirate!"

"Bon Voyage!"

"..."

The strong are always popular, especially in the lawless city of the inner city, so one after another people bid farewell to Kebar.

The scene gradually became lively, quite different from Kebar's plan to "quietly leave," which even made Kebar feel a little uncomfortable.

Strangely, Kebar was in a good mood, unconsciously raising his eyebrows and smiling.

"..."

Finally, when Kebar reached the outer wall exit of the Erhu Street area and saw the situation on the other side, he froze on the spot.

...?

Because he never expected that many people were already waiting for him at the exit.

Some gang members, Inlanders, mercenaries, and so on.

Of course, there's more—

Shiraki Cheng, Wu Fengshui, Wakatsuki Samurai, Himuro Ryo, Karo Yoshinari, Juuki Snake Ouma, Kuroki Gensai, Goreian, Oriba.

These people gathered together and lined both sides of the exit passage to see Kebar off.

"Haa!"

Shiramu Cheng yawned, wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and looked at Kebar with a smile, his body covered in bandages and his face full of injuries.

"Second Master, you set off too early! I'm so sleepy..."

He handed over the Fighting Spirit Martial Arts School's business card and slipped it into Kebar's pocket as a memento of their meeting in the inner city.

Kebar: "..."

Kebar: "Haha..."

He patted his pocket, then scratched his head sheepishly, looking helpless. "Sorry, I didn't mean to bother you."

Oliva blinked his left eye and chuckled, "Mr. Kebar, while caution is a virtue, you can be more generous to your friends!"

Kebar's expression returned to normal, and he raised an eyebrow and teased, "If there's any regret, it's that I didn't get to fight you—the original [Unbound One]."

Oliva grinned. "I live in Arizona State Penitentiary. You're welcome to come anytime. I'll have the warden open the door for you."

"……OK."

As he spoke, Kebar pulled two envelopes from his pocket, each bearing the names of Shiraki Cheng and Oliva.

"I originally intended to leave the letter at the door so you could come and get it yourselves, but now that I can give it to you in person, consider it a small gift from me."

"..."

Shiraki and Oliva took the envelope, opened it, and found two hundred-yen bills inside, but they weren't US dollars; they had Kebal's face printed on them.

Oliva glanced at it a few times. "It's paper money. Isn't that the hard currency on your island?"

"Great, fantastic!"

Shiraki carefully put away Kebar's banknotes, adding another souvenir to his collection.

"There's only one place in the world where it can be used, so consider it an invitation to your island?"

"..."

No one responded.

Shiraki and Oliva turned to look, only to see Kebara already walking away, reaching the end of the passage, leaving behind a waving figure.

"Come visit my martial arts gym sometime, goodbye!"

Goodbye~!

Oh! Goodbye!

Thus, Mr. Kebar left the inner city.

……

……

A day and a night later.

On an isolated island in South America, a dozen loggers are cutting down trees.
