Pirates: It's not a mythical beast, it's a phantom god

"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 is indeed no "gold", no "sky island", nothing at all.

They were fooled!

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.

Chapter 116 Pirate Town Part 2

"Hu~~"

"Little sister, this is not a place for you at your age. Where are your parents?"

The boss used his hand to calm down, and when he spoke again his tone was not as angry as before.

It's not that he has a good temper, but a nice person can't survive in a place like this.

But after he looked up and saw Ossi's face clearly, he naturally stopped being angry.

This is the disparity brought about by appearance.

Just like the Pirate Queen said decades later: "No matter what I do, I will be forgiven, because I am too beautiful."

With such a face now, even if Osi is unreasonable, the other party will only think that you are naughty or even a little cute.

If Kaido came here, then... then this store would have everything.

"You don't even have a sign on the door prohibiting minors from entering~"

"Alright, alright, just give me some of their signature snacks."

The boss wanted to say something else, but Osi simply waved his hand and sent him away.

She actually came here for something important to do, and she was just looking for trouble to attract the attention of everyone in the tavern.

There is absolutely no intention to find a punching bag and vent all the anger I have been holding in on the other person.

"Ahem!"

Seeing that everyone had noticed him, Ossi jumped off the stool, arrogantly pushed it back to its original position, and then put his hands on his hips.

"Okay! Brothers! Everyone, look at me. I have an announcement!"

As she spoke, she pulled out a stack of Baileys from her trouser pocket and held it high.

"If anyone can beat me in arm wrestling, these 50,000 Baileys will be his!"

Wow!

This was the sound of tables, chairs and benches sliding across the floor, and most people in the pub stood up at this time.

A little kid of eight or nine years old suddenly took out a large sum of money in a place like this. No matter how you look at it, this is a story of pie falling from the sky.

You have to know that the people in this town are not good men and women. If you throw a stone, it may hit seven or eight people carrying a bounty.

Because of the magnetic field of Sky Island, almost all the pirates who set out from the starting point of the Grand Line and chose this route were trapped here.

Faced with the record pointer pointing to the sky, some pirates chose to laugh at themselves, then gave up sailing and returned to the four seas.

Some pirates choose a new route and start over.

The remaining pirates chose to waste time on this small island, and then mock every newcomer as their "seniors".

Most of the people in Mogu Town now are pirates who have had their dreams cut short and voluntarily fallen into the quagmire of reality.

So this place is a veritable pirate island, just like Beehive Island.

"I come!"

A lean pirate was the first to react and raised his hand.

He gave almost all the money in his pocket to the casino in town, and now he has no money to eat.

"Get out of the way! Skinny monkey, this isn't your turn yet!"

A thick arm wrapped in chains directly knocked the skinny pirate over, and then a big man with a beard and bandages on his upper body stood up.

"It's Fryhail. His reward is five million baileys."

'Earthbinder' - Fryhail, got his name because he likes to use thick chains wrapped around his arms and long spikes to nail his opponents to the ground.

With his fame and good bounty, he is considered a well-known figure in the entire Magic Valley Town.

"How could a man of this level be interested in such a small amount of money?"

"Don't you know? I heard that he accidentally ran into a group of pirates passing by and all his money was extorted."

"Hiss~ What pirate dares to blackmail the Earth Demon?"

"It seems, it seems to be called the Hound Pirates. I heard that their captain's bounty is over 20 million!"

"so tall?!"

"That's right! I heard from others that those people tied the chain on Fryhail's arm to the stern of the ship, threw him into the sea, and dragged him for several miles!"

"In the end, I had to give away all my savings to be spared!"

"No wonder he's been wearing bandages lately..."

Without paying attention to the comments of the people around him, Osi sat directly opposite Fryhaier.

"bring it on."

"Hmph! Little girl, I don't know where you come from. But with so many people watching, I just hope you can accept the outcome of the bet."

After the previous lesson, Fulaihaier became more cautious and restrained his arrogance when facing people whose background he didn't know.

"No problem! A real man's word is as good as a nail."

"But let me make it clear first, I won't give in to you just because you're a patient."

Ossi threw the stack of bills directly on the table. They were five genuine Pelé bills with a face value of 10,000.

Produced by Burfat, fair and honest.

"Great! Then what should I... um? What do I do?"

Looking at the other party's outstretched hand, Fulaihaier asked in confusion.

"Registration fee! One thousand Baileys per time."

"You're not really planning to get something for nothing, are you?"

"Forehead……"

After hesitating for a while, Fryhaier gritted his teeth and squeezed out two coins from his trouser pocket.

The other party was right. If this was really a business that could make huge profits with no investment, he really wouldn't dare to believe it.

"Give!"

"Please state any other conditions as well."

Seeing that the other party was so understanding, Osi didn't keep him in suspense any longer.

"There are no other conditions. If you lose, you must answer one of my questions truthfully."

"Gone?"

"Gone."

"Okay! Come on then."

Two hands, one big and one small, were awkwardly clasped together.

"Drink!"

Fulaihaier broke it with all his strength!

Fryer has the advantage!

Fryhail is about to win!

Fryhaier lost narrowly...

Seeing that he was about to win, his arm suddenly slashed 170 degrees and pressed down on the table. The pirate with a bounty of 5 million was a little confused for a moment.

what?

What happened?
