Chapter 46: Chapter 46. A ship with two monsters
-Crack!!!-
A crisp slap sounded in the tavern.
After hearing Issho's words, Aramaki even thought that he had drank too much and had hallucinated.
Captain?
Of course, not only pirates have captains, but when you hear this word, most often the first thought is of course about pirates.
It has become commonplace.
But the problem is different. As Aramaki who is very familiar with Issho's character.
He couldn't imagine it.
I can actually hear such words from Issho's mouth!
No.
Am I crazy? Am I out of my mind?
Aramaki couldn't believe his ears. But feeling the pain on his face, he realized that this was reality.
Even the flushed face and the strong smell of alcohol on his body were mostly dissipated because of Issho's words.
"Issho...you..."
Not to mention, Issho's words really put Aramaki out of control. His eyes were dull, his expression was astonished, and his eyes were as wide as copper bells.
With a glimmer of hope, Aramaki then asked: "Issho, are you kidding, right?"
Issho glanced at Ravan and shook his head firmly: "I'm not kidding, this is indeed my captain! I came here specifically to see you!"
He spoke again.
After checking back and forth several times, Aramaki was finally sure.
Issho... He really joined the pirates!
As a friend who has known me for many years, how could Aramaki not know Issho's original ideals and obsessions? He could clearly feel Issho's obsession to change the world.
Seeing such an ideal, Aramaki also decided to accompany him. See how high Issho can reach in the end!
Just think. The warrior fell before the war even started. They both agreed to join the Marines. There was only one step left! And what happened? You come and say you're in a pirate crew?
Why???
"Really?"
Aramaki was stunned.
"Well....."
Now that the matter has come to this, he no longer dodges, Issho said: "I don't want to hide it from you anymore. In fact, the reason why I come here to drink with you is that besides wanting to have a good drink with you, I still have selfish motives."
"In the final analysis After all, I still hope to invite you to join our pirate group before you join Marine!"
Issho lowered his head in shame. It's all a bit hard to talk about.
"No, no, I don't care about that."
Aramaki shook his head, he really didn't care about the purpose of Issho. At least, he drank the wine happily.
He was more concerned about something else... Aramaki looked at Ravan.
The man in front of him. How did he recruit Issho into it?
Issho's obsession is deeper than anyone else's. Under such circumstances, Ravan not only made Issho change his mind, but even volunteered to join his pirate group.
If we say it was just a "friend" relationship brought about by Issho before.
So now, Aramaki became very interested in Ravan.
Regarding which force to join, Aramaki doesn't care at all! He is free and loose, and in terms of obsession, he is not as deep-rooted as Issho.
Looking at Ravan, he asked, "What's your name?"
Although Issho introduced him, he ignored everything else because of the word "captain".
"Ravan!"
Ravan repeated.
"Ravan?"
Hearing this name, Arammu felt that it sounded familiar. After thinking for a while, he showed a look of realization: "I said why does it look so familiar? It turns out to be you!"
How could Aramaki not know?
He rebelled against the Whitebeards and attacked the Celestial Dragons. Even Marine Admiral Akainu was defeated by him.
Aramaki nodded secretly.
No wonder Issho agreed to join the other party's pirate group for the first time.
There are some means, but these are not enough.
Aramaki opened a wine barrel, took it up and took a sip. After a "clang" sound and pressed the wine barrel on the table. He looked at Ravan and asked, "I have a question that I want to ask you to answer."
Ravan looked at the other party's posture, calmed down and said, "What's the problem?"
Arammu looked at Issho and then at Ravan, with a smile on his face: "I'm just curious, how did you convince Issho? And, since you were able to convince him, I think you must know Issho." His past, and the story of his eyes!"
Ravan nodded, and while he secretly said that Aramaki was rough and not subtle, he did not forget to sigh that he was actually like this. After thinking for a moment, he said concisely: "Prescribe the right medicine to the case!"
Forcing by force is effective, of course, but not against people like Issho. Sometimes you need to find a common language. After all, he doesn't need a second crew of Rocks.
But.. Just this acquaintance with Aramaki now. Ravan could roughly tell that his personality was completely opposite to Issho's.
If you want to recruit the Green Bull, you must be at least stronger.
"Prescribe the right medicine?"
Aramaki was stunned by Ravan's cold and ambiguous answer, but he wanted to persuade Issho, and it seemed that this method really worked. He continued: "I see... And as Issho said, this time you came to recruit me?"
Ravan nodded and said: "Yes!"
Aramaki took another sip of wine, wiped the drink from his mouth, and asked, "Why are you looking for me?"
Ravan said very straightforwardly: "There are two reasons for this. First, for fun. Second, I'm counting on the help of a strong guy like you!"
"Ha ha ha ha....."
Praise is useful anywhere.
Hearing that Ravan spoke so highly of himself, Aramaki smiled from ear to ear: "You kid, you are very much to my liking!"
Ravan thought it was interesting: "What do you think?"
Aramaki looked at Ravan, his eyes becoming sharper and dazzling, and he added: "I'm curious, can your little pirate ship be able to carry Issho and me??"
Ravan's expression remained normal, but his heart was filled with turmoil. Feeling the change in Aramaki's momentum, he resisted without getting angry and pushed back.
While the invisible confrontation was going on, Ravan calmly said: "Hah, why not try?"
