After arriving at the Sabaody Archipelago, Rocks gave everyone three days off, allowing them to wander around the Sabaody Archipelago at will, and then took Rose to the amusement park in the Sabaody Archipelago.
In the amusement park, Rocks and Ruth had a great time relaxing and having fun.
Under Ruth's guidance, they played many interesting projects together, including the carousel, roller coaster, pendulum and so on.
"Hey, Rocks, there's a haunted house over there! Let's go check it out."
After seeing a huge haunted house, Ruth ran over excitedly with Rocks.
When he arrived at the door of the haunted house, Locke immediately sensed an extremely familiar breath.
"Locks, wait here for me. I'll go buy the tickets."
Ruth said something to Rocks excitedly and ran to the ticket office.
Rocks nodded, then turned his head and looked somewhere at the entrance of the haunted house.
A man wearing a black shirt, black cropped trousers, slippers and with black shaggy hair was slumped on a bench.
Rocks smiled and slowly walked towards the man.
"Hey, haven't seen you for over two years. I didn't expect to see you here."
Rocks walked up to the man and spoke directly.
Hearing someone talking to him, the man opened his eyes slightly and looked at Rocks.
"Isn't this Rocks, the captain of the recently famous Rocks Pirates? I didn't expect you to have already arrived at the Sabaody Archipelago."
The man looked at Rocks weakly and said lazily.
Rocks looked at the man with a lazy face and none of the heroic spirit he had when they first met, and suddenly became curious.
He was very curious about what had happened in the past two years to turn the man he was back then into the decadent man he is today.
Rocks walked over and sat down on the bench next to him.
"You've changed a lot in two years."
Rocks looked at the sky and said with emotion.
"Yes, it has indeed changed a lot. In the past two years, you have become a famous pirate, but I have become a small employee in an ordinary haunted house."
The man sighed softly.
"Anzi, I'm actually very curious about how the former Spirit King became so decadent in the past two years."
"Huh? The Spirit King? It's been a long time since I've heard someone call me that."
When Anzi heard the word "Spirit King", he chuckled at himself.
"There are no more Soul Kings now, Rocks brat. I should go to work."
Having said that, Anzi stood up and left, staggering into the haunted house through the back door.
Rocks became even more curious as he watched Anzi enter the haunted house.
How did the man who was able to take Roger's attack two years ago, the man who looked so heroic at the time, become what he is now
"Hey, Rocks, why are you here? Come on, I've already bought the tickets, let's go!"
Ruth ran over from the side, took Rocks' hand and walked towards the door of the haunted house.
Rocks temporarily put aside Anzi's matter and concentrated on accompanying Ruth to visit the haunted house.
To be honest, this haunted house is really not that good, there is no horror atmosphere at all.
He had absolutely no idea why Ruth was hugging him so tightly in fear.
When they came out of the haunted house, Ruth was carried out by Princess Rocks.
Before they knew it, a whole day had passed as Rocks and Ruth strolled around.
At night, Rocks and Ruth were strolling in the food court.
When the two passed by a barbecue stall, Rocks saw Anzi again.
He was still sitting there alone with a decadent look on his face, drinking and eating barbecue.
Ruth followed Rocks' gaze.
"What a depressed man."
Ruth grabbed Rocks' shoulders and tried to pull him away.
However, Rocks ignored Ruth and walked straight to Anzi and sat opposite him.
Anzi looked up at Rocks, who was wearing casual clothes, and said nothing. He continued to drink his wine and eat barbecue.
Ruth stamped her feet, walked over, and sat down next to Rocks, looking at Anzi with unfriendly eyes.
Rocks picked up a skewer of kebab and started eating it without any hesitation.
"Anzi, I'm really curious about what kind of blow a man like you encountered to become so decadent."
Anzi looked up at Rocks, then at Ruth.
"Hey, why don't you just go shopping with your woman instead of bothering a decadent and sloppy old man like me?"
Anzi sighed helplessly.
"Look, your woman is looking at me with a bad face. It's as if I disturbed your date."
Ruth looked at him with a look of astonishment, then picked up a skewer of meat and started eating.
"Hmm, it tastes pretty good."
Ruth gave a compliment and then ignored the two men, continuing to finish the barbecue on the table.
"Hey, I bought it, please be polite to me!"
Anzi said helplessly.
"Well, little Rocks, do you want to hear a story?"
"I'm all ears."
After receiving Rocks' affirmative answer, Anzi took a deep breath.
"Well, I'll tell you about it then."
Anzi grabbed the bottle and took a few big gulps.
Then he slowly began to tell Rocks about what had happened in the past two years.
Two years ago, after Anzi was stabbed by Roger with a sword, he fell into a coma due to the serious injuries.
The ghost ship, which lost his ability to control, also fell from the sky into the sea.
During a storm, his boat was smashed by the waves.
Perhaps God did not want to take him away, for while he was unconscious he was hooked by a broken piece of plank and did not sink into the sea.
Just like that, after a long drift, the unconscious Anzi came to a strange island and was rescued by a girl on the beach.
After the girl's careful care, Anzi slowly woke up from his coma, and his wounds gradually healed.
Because the boat was smashed, and the village was too poor, there was no ship that could take him out to sea, and because it was too poor, no merchant ships were willing to pass by.
Therefore, Anzi stayed in the girl's house.
In this way, a year passed by unknowingly.
Anzi, who was already used to drifting on the sea, actually felt that this was not a bad thing under the careful care of the girl.
And he suddenly found that he actually had a little crush on the girl who was gentle and cheerful every day and always had a smile on her face no matter what difficulties she faced.
Until one day, Anzi couldn't bear it anymore and confessed his love to the girl.
During the one year of getting along with each other, the girl unknowingly fell in love with the handsome and heroic Anzi.
Naturally, the two were together.
Originally, Anzi thought that he could spend the rest of his life happily with the girl, but a quarrel one night ended his fantasy.
One night, when Anzi and the girl were sitting at the door looking at the sea, Anzi suddenly told the girl about his previous experience as a pirate.
When she heard that Anzi was a pirate in the past, she broke free from his arms in great excitement.
The girl who always faced any difficulties with a smile, lost her smile when she learned that he was once a pirate, and looked at Anzi with an angry and ferocious face.
She roared and cursed Anzi crazily, then ran out crying loudly.
This was the first time Anzi saw the girl with such a ferocious expression.
In the following days, Anzi did not see the girl.
Until one day a week later, the villagers found the girl's body under a cliff.
After seeing the girl's body, Anzi went crazy.
It was not until that moment that Anzi realized that he was deeply in love with the girl.
As a result, the girl committed suicide after learning her identity as a pirate.
At that moment, Anzi wished so much that he had not told the girl about his identity as a pirate that night.
After burying the girl, Anzi also learned about the girl's past from other villagers.
It turned out that the girl's parents were attacked by pirates while sailing together, and all died at the hands of the pirates.
Therefore, girls are extremely angry towards pirates.
Anyone who mentions pirates in front of the girl will make her lose her gentle smile and become ferocious.
After learning about the girl's past, Anzi understood why the girl chose to commit suicide and end her life.
For a girl who hated pirates so much, she actually fell in love with a pirate and lived with him, which made her heart break.
She couldn't forgive herself for falling in love with pirates and living with them for so long, so she simply chose to end her life.
After figuring out these things, Anzi undoubtedly regretted it.
He regretted why he had been a pirate and why he told the girl about his identity as a pirate.
In this self-blame, Anzi became more and more decadent.
He lost his former bravery and ambition, and completely became a sloppy and lazy uncle.
During an unexpected stop of a merchant ship, he left the village that made him sad and came to the Chabaoti Archipelago.
So he settled down here, and in order to avoid starving to death, he found a job in a haunted house.
At this point, Anzi didn't say anything more. He asked the boss to bring a few bottles of rum and started drinking them one by one.
After listening to Anzi's story, Rocks also felt a little sad.
I didn't expect Anzi to encounter such a bloody love story.
Rocks picked up a bottle of rum and clinked glasses with Anzi.
"Anzi, I have to say, you are really a bit pitiful."
After saying that, Rocks drank the wine in the bottle in one gulp.
"Hey, there's a big auction going on at Sabaody Archipelago tomorrow, and there are even devil fruits for sale!"
Ruth had no interest in Anzi's melodramatic love story. She looked at a newspaper she had just bought from a little boy selling newspapers and said in surprise.
Rocks was curious so he took the newspaper and took a look at it.
"It looks interesting. Let's go check it out tomorrow. Anzi?"
"Oh, I forget it. I have to work tomorrow."
Anzi rejected Rocks' invitation, picked up a bottle of wine, went to the boss to pay the bill, then waved to Rocks and left.
Looking at Anzi's figure walking away, Rocks sighed.
"It's really unpredictable."
"Hmph, forget about that idiot! Rocks, let's go to the auction together tomorrow!"
"Well, let's go check it out together tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to seeing something interesting tomorrow."
Rocks looked at a headline in the corner of the newspaper and a smile appeared on his face.
