In the first half of the Grand Line, a three-masted sailing ship was sailing smoothly on the sea.
The black and gold ship sparkled in the sunlight.
On the top of the sail, there was a black flag with a white skull painted on it. The skull was dotted with purple and red patterns, and two long swords were crossed behind the skull.
This is the pirate flag of Rocks and his pirate group.
As Rocks is the captain of this ship, it is natural that the pirate group is also called the Rocks Pirates.
Of course, Barrett and Sasaki Ereda would not know what the Rocks Pirates represented.
If they knew that more than a decade ago, there was a super pirate group whose captain was also named Rocks, they might be surprised.
Rocks was exercising alone in the cabin training room.
The thin body was doing sit-down squats while holding a barbell that was completely inconsistent with his body shape. There was also a faint purple light covering it.
Rocks, with his upper body naked, did not look thin at all like he did when he was dressed. His body was full of streamlined muscles.
"2556.2557.2558......3000!"
"DUANG"
After doing three thousand, Rocks threw the barbell directly to the ground.
A heavy weight pressed down on the ground, making a loud noise.
“Huh…”
Taking a deep breath, Rocks picked up the salt water that had been prepared on the table and drank it in big gulps.
He drank the water in the cup, took the towel, wiped the sweat off his body, then picked up the sword beside him and began to swing it.
Nearly a month has passed since Rocks and his crew went out to sea.
For a month, we were drifting on the sea and there was no fun at all.
For Sasaki and Erida, who used to be pirates, it was nothing, but for Rocks and Barrett, who were going to sea for the first time, it was too boring.
After just three days, Rocks, having lost his novelty, locked himself in the gym.
Barrett directly transformed the sailor's cabin into a fighting arena and his training room, and began to train himself.
Unlike Rocks, Barrett only trains his muscles and fists.
For a month, Rocks and Barrett would compete against each other every week in the improved dueling arena under the cabin.
In four weeks and four competitions, Rocks' record is two wins and two losses.
On the deck, Sasaki and Erida were busy.
"Damn it, what should we do for lunch today? Barbecue again?"
Sasaki looked at the ingredients in front of him speechlessly, not knowing what to do.
To be honest, he was about to vomit after eating grilled fish and meat for almost a month.
Eredar looked at her own record pointer and adjusted the rudder to prevent the ship from deviating from its course.
Hearing Sasaki's complaint, he laughed.
"Aren't you used to it yet, Sasaki? Our journey has just begun. However, we should think of a way to change our meals. Eating barbecue every day is really not a good idea."
After saying that, Ereda took out a sea chart from his arms.
After looking for a while, I finally found what I was looking for.
"Haha, Sasaki, I'll take you to a good place!"
After hearing what Erida said, Sasaki suddenly became curious.
"A good place? What good place?"
"Haha, of course it's a good place to eat good food."
After saying that, Erida adjusted the rudder and sailed quickly forward.
In the distant sea, a huge warship was sailing smoothly on the ocean.
The entire warship looked extremely luxurious. The huge sailing ship had six masts and was five times the size of Rocks' Conch.
The battleship has 64 gun muzzles on both sides, which looks quite powerful.
A black pirate flag was hoisted above the huge sail.
The skull on the pirate flag has two curved upward whiskers.
If someone saw it, he would definitely recognize which pirate group they belonged to.
"Hehehe! Rayleigh, you lose! All your wine this month belongs to me!"
The tall and strong man, wearing a red captain's coat, with short black hair, a long sword hanging at his waist, and a pair of strange upturned nose hairs, laughed and said to Rayleigh.
Rayleigh shook his head helplessly, took out a wine flask from his arms, and took a few big gulps.
"What bad luck! I lost to you again, Roger."
That’s right, this pirate ship belongs to the famous pirate Roger Pirates, also known as “Golden” Roger.
The ones who were gambling and talking were their captain Goldo Roger and his deputy captain, Silvers Rayleigh, who was known as the King of the Underworld.
"Hey, Rayleigh, you've already lost several months' worth of alcohol to Captain Roger. If you continue to lose, you'll have no alcohol money for the whole year."
Next to Rayleigh, a man with a long black ponytail and a pair of frog sunglasses teased Roger with a strange smile.
"Hahaha, that doesn't matter. I still have you, Jabba."
The man called Jabba immediately waved his hands, as if to say, I don't know you.
"Don't even think about it, Rayleigh. The money I spend on alcohol every month is not even enough for me to drink!"
The other crew members watched the conversation between Rayleigh and Jabba and burst into laughter.
"Don't worry, Vice Captain Rayleigh! If Uncle Jabba doesn't agree, I'm willing to give you all my monthly wine money!"
A young man with red hair spoke to Rayleigh seriously.
Hearing the boy's words, Rayleigh burst into laughter.
"Thank you so much, Shanks. I'll leave the money for the drinks to you!"
After saying that, Rayleigh walked over to Shanks and rubbed his head.
Not far from Shanks, a young man with a red nose looked at Shanks who was being rubbed on the head by Rayleigh, and snorted with disdain.
"That guy Shanks only knows how to flatter Vice Captain Rayleigh."
Jabba was right behind the red-nosed boy. When he heard what he said, he slapped him on the head.
“Bucky, if you want some affection, you can act like a spoiled child to me, hahahaha!”
Hearing Jabba's words, Buggy's face turned red, and then he became angry.
"Who, who wants to be loved! Uncle Jabba, what nonsense are you talking about!"
Dollinger looked at Bucky who was collecting treasures, laughed, and then started to tease him.
"Hey, little Buggy, do you want some affection? Hahahaha!"
"Damn it! You bastards!"
Being teased by everyone, Bucky felt extremely angry.
But he looked at those guys, compared his own strength, and then rushed directly towards Shanks.
"Asshole Shanks, it's all your fault!"
While Shanks was looking confused, Buggy's fist had already hit him in the face.
"Bang!"
“Ouch!”
Shanks screamed in pain after being hit by Buggy's punch, then started to wrestle with Buggy with his fists.
"Asshole! Bucky, why did you hit me!?"
As he said that, Shanks punched Buggy in the right eye, and instantly his right eye became swollen.
"Asshole Shanks! I've been annoyed with you for a long time!"
"Bang!"
Buggy also punched Shanks in the left eye without showing any weakness.
The two of them were unwilling to give in to each other. You punched me and I kicked you.
Seeing the two kids fighting each other, the guys on the boat gathered together and started shouting.
“Yes, Bucky, hit him in the stomach. Oh yes, hit him in the stomach!”
"Shanks, kick him, that's right, and then hit him in the face!"
"Hahaha, Bucky, why did your eyes become so small?"
The whole ship became extremely lively because of the fight between the two little kids, Buggy and Shanks.
Roger, who was not far away, looked at the lively crew with a smile on his face.
"It really makes me feel happy from the bottom of my heart, cough, cough!"
Roger suddenly started coughing and quickly took out a handkerchief from his arms and put it to his mouth.
Looking at the handkerchief stained with blood, Roger looked up at the sky helplessly.
“Time flies by so fast.”
