279. There is only one truth(1/2)
People are not static, but big changes are usually driven by external factors.
Just like Yamato, he has always dreamed of going to sea and becoming a free pirate.
Because I was a little bird in a cage when I was a child, I longed for the sky. When I saw the real sky, I saw the previous scene and understood the cruelty of the outside world.
It turns out that what pirates pursue is not freedom, but unbridled freedom.
The dream has not changed, but I have another idea - you don't have to become a pirate if you want to have free adventures.
Allen explained to her about freedom. She was still too young to understand such profound things. However, following the shocking and tragic scene before, it also took root in her heart, and other thoughts would slowly grow.
appearance.
Children are the most malleable, but they just need some necessary guidance, otherwise they may not know where they will go.
Obviously, the former Kaido did not do this. His method was very rough, sealing a child in a small area so that she could not see the sky outside.
To be honest, if it were Allen himself, his heart might be twisted beyond recognition.
Fortunately, he can now straighten Yamato again so that she can embark on another path.
It was night, and Allen chatted a lot with Yamato. It wasn't until the stars set and the moon disappeared that he rubbed her little head, got up and left.
…
…
The incident involving the Blood Fundy Pirates did not cause any ripples in the North Sea.
There is no trace of this criminal pirate group anymore. In a short period of time, no one in the entire North Sea will notice this. After all, the entire ship sank to the bottom of the sea, and the only living person is still imprisoned.
In the prison of the warship where Allen is located, it may be possible to wait long enough before these pirates who have never appeared will be noticed by some forces, but now, that will never be the case.
Not to mention, with Allen leaving the Navy branch, many pirates very close to here may disappear immediately after getting the news.
While Allen was chatting with Yamato, somewhere else, there were other people talking about news about him.
The Brass Bell Tavern.
At night, this is the busiest place, and the huge pub is full of people.
As a tavern in a chaotic area, it also has an obvious style. Under normal circumstances, the people who can run the tavern here have enough confidence, otherwise they would have been eaten up by others.
In the corner of the tavern, the booths were full of people.
There were more than ten guys who looked very tough, and even their bodies smelled of blood, and there was also a fishy smell from the sea breeze that they had been exposed to for a long time at sea.
Anyone with a little experience will know whether this group of people is a group of pirates or a group of pirates who have just started their career.
Whether it is the dark and rough skin caused by long-term exposure to the sun and the sea breeze, or the oily hair, the dark red stains on the worn clothes, or the weapons carried with them, all can prove this.
But what does it matter? The Golden Bell Tavern is more than just a tavern. It also serves as a place for selling stolen goods. More importantly, it is one of the best places for pirates to sell their stolen goods.
I heard that the owner of the tavern was once a pirate in the New World, and after hiding his name, he opened this tavern here.
Perhaps because of past experiences, ordinary wealth is not taken seriously by the owner here. He does things fairly and the commission from selling stolen goods is not that high. Of course, it is not much compared to his peers. The main reason is that he does not know how to play.
Tricks, things are worth whatever they are worth. This is why he is so sought after by nearby pirates.
At the beginning, it was not like no one had made trouble for the boss. In the end, those troublemakers disappeared. After a few interactions, everyone understood how powerful this guy was, and naturally no one looked away.
This tavern is also the most orderly tavern. No matter how many pirates have a bounty of tens of millions, they will not dare to cause trouble when they come here.
It is precisely for this reason that many people have no doubts about the identity of the boss, the great pirate of the New World.
In the corner, a tall middle-aged man walked over, and the others made way for him to sit in the main seat.
"Captain Dorek, how was the conversation?" someone asked.
Others also looked at him expectantly, wanting to know the delivery this time.
Dorek is a one-eyed dragon with a diagonal scar on his right eye that runs through half of his face. The eyeball under his eyelid has been removed, and the other eye shines coldly under the light.
The reputation of the one-eyed dragon Dolek in the North Sea is not small. With a reward of nearly 50 million, he can be regarded as a front-line pirate in the North Sea.
If placed in the East China Sea, it would be Scorpion Baba - the only one. But in the North Sea, although it is powerful, it is not the top. Doflamingo is the pirate with the highest reward in the North Sea at this time.
Dolek looked around, his one eye shining strangely under the light. He stretched out his palm and spread out his five fingers: "Fifty million, Spark is indeed more fair than others. What we grabbed this time
, can be exchanged for 50 million beli. It will be enough for us to live comfortably for a long time."
After Dolek's words fell, everyone immediately burst into strong cheers. For them, this time was really a big gain.
"Young roar!! Long live the captain!"
"Hahahahaha, I'm done. I'm going to go upstairs to find Chris later and have fun for three days and three nights."
"Chris, you bastard, draw your sword! I've been wanting to find her for a long time. That satin-like skin is really unforgettable."
"Hey, man, don't be impulsive, we can play together, as long as you are willing to pay, Chris won't care about this."
"What a great idea."
"You two rude bastards, together, aren't you afraid of ruining that beauty Chris?"
"So you feel distressed?"
"No, I mean add me!"
Their laughter immediately attracted the attention of other people in the tavern. Many people looked here with envy and jealousy on their faces, as if they had eaten lemons from a tree.
"Looking at the Cyclops and the others, they look like they have never seen the world. I guess they must have made a fortune. Huh, the naval hero Allen is in the North Sea now. If you are not careful, this may be the last party."
"Who says otherwise? After the naval hero came to the North Sea, many pirates hid. Unexpectedly, it gave Dolek a good opportunity to make a big fortune."
Some people are saying mean things, and naturally there are other people too.
Not far from Dolek's table, a person suddenly said loudly: "Hey, Dolek, it looks like you have made a fortune. Why don't you buy everyone a drink? How about you cover all the drinks today?"
?Can everyone agree?"
"Hoho, this is really a good suggestion."
"I approve of the proposal, Captain Dorek, and I will praise you."
"Please drink, please drink!"
The atmosphere in the tavern was instantly detonated, and countless people were fanning the flames. They were jealous of Dolek's group, but they couldn't do anything. Now they just took the opportunity to stir up some excitement.
"It's 'Black Jackal' Babulus. This guy once had a problem with Dolek. He always likes to play dirty, and his heart is as black as a jackal. This guy hid immediately after hearing that the Lieutenant General came to Beihai.
Get up, I haven't heard from him for many days, and I didn't expect him to be here." A well-informed person explained the identity of the speaker to the people next to him.
"It turns out to be him, no wonder."
There was someone next to him who looked at the two of them with twinkling eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.
Dolek saw everyone in the tavern making noises and sneered. This Babrus would always hide in the gutter: "Of course it's okay to invite everyone to drink, but Babrus heard that you found a treasure before.
It is said that there are many good things in it, and there are even rumors that there is a devil fruit in the treasure. If such a thing is auctioned, it may be worth hundreds of millions of beli, I said, do you also want to show it?"
Devil Fruit?
Wow!!
Everyone in the crowd looked at Babulus. That was a Devil Fruit. It had the power to change one's own destiny. For ordinary people, it was an absolute dream.
It can be said that the Celestial Dragons are probably the only people in the world who don't take Devil Fruits seriously. Others would definitely try their best to get such a thing if they could come across it.
Many people looked at Babulus in a different way, a little dark and dangerous.
Peng!
"He slandered me, slandered me!"
Babrus slapped the table and suddenly stood up: "Dolek, you bastard is full of lies. If I had the devil fruit, I would have eaten it long ago. How could I still keep it? You and I have
Hatred is something that many people know, and if you want to frame me, you would be treating others as fools!"
That's what I say, but everyone knows that once greed is aroused in everyone's hearts, no matter how you explain it, it will be useless.
This guy Dolek is so vicious, he actually wants to kill himself!
"Then tell me, did you find a treasure some time ago?" Dorek asked with a sneer, "There are rumors that there is a devil fruit hidden in that treasure. This is not nonsense of mine, but has been rumored for a long time.
rumor."
Regardless of whether it exists or not, as long as it is said that it exists, everyone will be more willing to believe that it exists. Once more people believe it, even if it does not exist, it will become that it exists.
It would be even more interesting if someone took the initiative.
Cold sweat broke out on Babrus' forehead. He didn't expect that he just wanted to trick Dolek, but he got himself into a trap. It was really a waste of money.
But compared with this, the more important thing is to solve this suspicion. Otherwise, once the news spreads, let alone him, even their entire pirate group will be in trouble. I don’t know how many people will go crazy for Devil Fruit.
With his mind spinning, Babrus was frantically trying to find a solution. He must not bear the blame for possessing the Devil Fruit himself.
Seeing the sinister smile on Dolek's face, Babrus suddenly changed his expression: "You are diverting your attention!" He pointed at Dolek and said loudly. "It's you. You must have a devil fruit. Come here this time."
Selling stolen goods here is only part of it. After the heroic Lieutenant General of the Navy came to Beihai, none of us dared to take any action. Why did you choose to take such a vote at the risk of being noticed by the Lieutenant General?
There is only one truth, and that is that you got the news about the Devil Fruit. In order to prevent the news from leaking out, you planned this operation. No wonder you got so much money. There must be gold and silver treasures that can be put together with the Devil Fruit.
.So you shouted "Catch the thief" to draw everyone's attention to me."
