Pirates: From Vice Captain to Lord of the Dead

"You are such a contemptuous little brat! You won't even lift a finger until I die."

Shiki's face was still as ferocious as a lion ghost, and he let out a hoarse sneer from his throat:

"Haha, what a pity! It would have been great if I had met you more than 20 years ago.

"If that happens, I will tear you into pieces with my own hands."

Even when he was dying, he was still arrogant and conceited, because this man did not need any mercy in his life!

"That's really a pity. Remember what I said before? Now I will leave your bones here to feed the wild beasts." Reiner said lightly and clenched his five fingers tightly.

Click!

Shiki's head slowly dropped.

The snow stopped, the biting cold wind stopped howling, and the last snowflake fell on Reiner's face and melted away in an instant.

Looking up, I saw a white jade plate hanging high above a black curtain, and a few stars sparsely scattered in the night sky.

The faint moonlight fell on the snow, sparkling silver waves, and there was silence all around.

He surrounded and killed Roger in the Battle of Edwo, and fought alone in Marinford. He was one of the three legends who once stood at the top of the sea, and the captain of the Sky Pirates.

——Shiki the Golden Lion!

Rest in peace!

The time is set for tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

Chapter 167 Oh my! It’s logistics!

The next morning.

White clouds roll in the blue sky, and the morning sun shines gently on the vibrant plains.

The floating island of Vermeulle, which had lost its ability to control, had already fallen back into the sea, and the Merry was docked on the shore.

Not far from the shore lies a small mountain village. The already dilapidated village was almost reduced to ruins after the impact of the island's collapse last night.

The villagers were scattered among the ruins, busy at work. Among them were many young and middle-aged men who had been captured by the golden lion before, and they also returned to the village to reunite with their families.

“It’s a huge project to rebuild this place.”

"As long as everyone is alive, that's all."

"Hahaha, yes."

"It just so happens that these old houses are due for renovation."

Although the village was destroyed, people's faces were filled with smiles. Young and middle-aged people were talking and laughing while cleaning up the rubble.

"We're back, everyone!"

On the hillside, Luffy's laughing figure slowly walked over, dragging a huge porcupine in his hand, and several figures gradually walked out from behind him.

"The benefactors are back!"

“I actually hunted such a big beast!”

"Everyone, set up the pot and light the fire!"

Seeing the Straw Hat Pirates coming back from hunting, the villagers cheered with joy and were immediately filled with energy.

“Brothers and sisters are so strong!”

"I want to go out to sea and become a pirate in the future!"

"And me! I want to be a pirate like Straw Hat Brother!"

Several children held wooden sticks in their hands, looked at them with admiration, waved the sticks as if they were swords, and soon began to laugh and play.

"You are very popular, Luffy. Everyone here treats you as a hero."

Usopp nudged Luffy with his elbow and said with a smile: "No wonder, you fought hundreds of beasts alone last night and protected the villagers here."

"hero!"

Chopper's eyes lit up and he excitedly jumped onto his shoulders and hugged him, "You're a hero, Luffy!"

"Hehehe, but I don't want to be a hero, I want to be the Pirate King." Luffy said with a grin.

The group dragged the porcupine into the village, and the villagers rushed to help build a pot and start a fire.

They sat together on a nearby lawn, spread out picnic mats and chatted.

"Today's weather is nice, perfect for a picnic."

Nami sat on the ground with her long, white legs stretched straight out. She raised her head, closed her eyes and felt the warm sunshine and soft breeze.

"Yes, today's weather is nice, perfect for dividing the spoils!"

Reiner laughed and called out, "Everyone! Come and see what we have gained in the past few days. The Thriller Bark and the Golden Lion left a lot of treasures for us."

"Oooh!!"

"Divide the spoils!"

"That's great. I have money to buy wine again."

When they heard about dividing the spoils, several people immediately gathered around excitedly.

Gold and treasure are the romance of pirates!

"Hehehe, it just so happens that I have used up all my pocket money." Luffy came forward with a smile.

"Nani! What did you say!" Upon hearing this, Nami's body instantly ignited with flames, and she pinched his neck with both hands and shook it continuously, shouting:

"Didn't we share a lot of money from the gold from Sky Island last time? Where did you use it, you bastard? I knew I shouldn't have given you any money!"

"Alright, alright, Nami, you're almost strangling Luffy to death."

Seeing Luffy's face turn green and he looked like he was about to die, Reiner patted her shoulder and said with a smile:

"We gained a lot this time. It just so happens that the public funds for the Merry are almost used up, so this is a good opportunity to supplement them."

"Hey! When we first arrived at Water City 7, didn't we just replenish 200 million Beli's public funds? How come it's so fast!" Nami exclaimed in surprise.

"Half is for the banquet, and the rest is almost all for food." Sanji explained for him.

The ingredients they usually buy are not cheap, and Luffy's appetite is really exaggerated.

Eating the portion of ten people in one meal is just his lower limit. As for the upper limit, there is no upper limit.

"The treasure in Moria is probably worth 200 million Beli. Half of it will be used as ship expenses, and the rest we can divide equally." Reiner said casually.

"If it's split in half."

Chopper counted the hooves and thought for a moment, then looked up and said excitedly, "One person gets 10 million Beli!"

"Yes, and in the Golden Lion Palace, I found treasures worth about 500 million Baileys. I'll use another 200 million Baileys as funding for the Merry."

Reiner smiled and patted Chopper's head, then said, "The rest belongs to me."

"Ghost!"

"go to hell!"

"I disagree!"

"Well, it's just a joke. Everyone has contributed a lot, so of course everyone can get some pocket money." Reiner chuckled.

Soon, they divided the spoils of the past two days, and Reiner wrote them several notes with corresponding amounts.

"What is this?" Luffy looked at the note in his hand with a puzzled look and asked with his head tilted.

"Because they are all gold treasures now, when we get to the Sabaody Archipelago and exchange them for cash at the exchange office, you can bring them to me to exchange for pocket money." Reiner said, waving the note in his hand.

"So that's how it is. I understand." Chopper took off the small blue backpack behind him, unzipped it, carefully folded the note and put it in.

"Hey, what about me? I'll join the fight too!" Perona put her hands on her hips, leaned in front of him and said with a puffy face.

Nami forcefully intervened, standing between him and Perona, her eyes full of hostility as she said, "How dare you say that? You fought with us during the terrifying three-dimensional sailboat."

"That was a thing of the past!"

"I won't let you get away with it that easily!"

"You're really not cute at all!"

"By the way, Reiner, what did you just say about the Sabaody Archipelago?"

Chopper raised his head, his round eyes full of confusion, and asked, "Didn't we say that our next target is Fishman Island?"

Hearing this, the others also looked over.

"It's true that the recording pointer is Fish-man Island, but the pointer is pointing downward. Fish-man Island is 10,000 meters under the sea. Has anyone of you ever thought about how to get down?" Reiner asked back.

"No."

"Yeah."

Chopper and the others who reacted suddenly fell silent, and couldn't help but think of the thrilling experience when they went to Sky Island before.

"But, Reiner, didn't you say that Fishman Island is the gateway to the New World? If there is no way to go to Fishman Island, how do other pirates go to the New World?" Chopper asked curiously.

They already knew that the Grand Line was divided into two sections by the Red Earth Continent. The difficulty in entering the New World lay in how to cross the Red Earth Continent.

There is an upwelling current that reverses the mountain in the first half, but not in the second half.

"Normally there are two ways. One is to enter the New World through Marijoa on the Red Earth Continent with the permission of the World Government. Since we are pirates, this option is definitely out of the question."

Reiner drew a mountain on the paper to indicate to everyone, then drew a circle under the mountain and nodded.

“The second one is our goal. There is a big hole under the red soil continent. We can pass through this hole from the bottom of the sea to enter the new world.

"The Fishman Island that the record pointer points to is also there, and the way to enter the seabed is in the Sabaody Archipelago. There, we need to coat the ship with a layer of film before we can dive."

"A coating? But I have a question."

At this time, Nami came over, looked at the pointer on her wrist, and asked in confusion:

"It's hard to tell the direction at sea, and the record pointer is pointing to Fishman Island. How can we find the Sabaody Archipelago? Do you have a permanent pointer ready?"

"No, strictly speaking, the Sabaody Archipelago is not an island. It has no magnetic field, so there is no permanent pointer pointing there." Reiner shook his head.

"What are you talking about?"
