Pirates of the First Empire

In fact, at this time, Frankie and Espagu are older than Doyle in terms of age alone, but no matter what the difference between the two sides at this time, it cannot be erased by being a few years older. flat.

In the plot, Frankie is the eldest brother of the protagonist group. Two years later, he will be 36 years old. That is to say, even in 1511, Frankie is already 25 years old.

It's Bingshan, that is, Espagu, who is a few years older than Franky. He should be approaching the age of three at this time, and he has all the maturity and stability that he should have.

Therefore, in the face of Doyle, a group of guys who knew at a glance that they were not easy to mess with, Espagu decisively chose to admit defeat, and seeing that the other party had no plans to make a direct move, he believed that everything was still something to talk about.

At this time, the inconspicuous Dan who had been hiding behind Doyle had an inexplicable sense of familiarity when he saw Franky and Espagu who had never met before. He also confirmed the identities of the two guys who came up with their names.

So, Dan who was very excited looked at Doyle, and Doyle would give up a place with understanding eyes, and let Dan come forward directly to talk to his two "nephews".

"Flame! Espagu!"

"It's me, I'm Dan! Tom's brother!"

At this time, Franky and Espagu also noticed the murloc who greeted him excitedly. Murlocs are not common in the water capital, let alone a fish that he and others knew. people.

"Dan?! Mr. Dan?!!"

"Are you...Mr. Dan!?"

Espagu and Franky quickly realized that their master, Mr. Tom, had a younger brother after Dan announced his identity. At this time, they saw the murloc in front of them. If so, he couldn't help rubbing his eyes.

This is a murloc with a dark hat, thick-rimmed glasses and earrings, and thick hair. His face is pointed, his nose is slightly curved, he has a beard on his jaw, and he has sorrel on his arms and jacket. picture of.

"Are you really Mr. Tom's brother, Mr. Dan?"

"It's me, of course it's me. I came here from Murloc Island! And, if I remember correctly, you are all Tom's disciples, right?"

Facing Espagu's question, Dan gave an affirmative answer, and then pointed again with his fingers, saying the sign of "Tom Shipbuilding Company" hanging outside the simple tent of the studio.

Sure enough, after getting Dan's affirmative answer, the expressions of Espagu and Franky became excited instantly, and they changed their previous cautious attitude to become more enthusiastic.

However, the two soon became embarrassed again. They found that Doyle and his party seemed to be a bit crowded, and their dilapidated studio seemed to be unable to accommodate so many people, and they were at a loss for a while.

"Okay, it seems that Master Tom is not here now, Dan, let's talk to these two boys first, and wait for Master Tom by the way."

"Yes, Your Highness."

Doyle had spoken, and the other subordinates naturally had no objections. They each found a place to sit near the studio. They were not interested in Franky for the time being. It was obvious that these two guys were "technicians". There is no conflict with them.

Hearing Doyle giving orders and others, including their uncle Mr. Dan, also acted obediently. No matter how stupid Frankie and Espagu were, they could tell that Doyle was the leader of this group of people. .

"Uncle Dan, this...sir, and these...is it?"

Before Frankie had a clear idea of ​​the situation, Espagu had basically seen the situation clearly, and guessed that the other party should be looking for his master Tom, so he also took the initiative to be "closest" to the crowd Dan spoke up.

"Your Highness is..."

"My name is Andre Doyle. Nice to meet you, Espagu, and Katie Fram."

"..."

Doyle interrupted Dan's words, and instead introduced himself. Sure enough, Espagu received Doyle's signal that "this person is not difficult to communicate with".

The two sides quickly communicated pleasantly, only Frankie on the side seemed not to be in the mood yet, and he couldn't understand why Espagu was able to get acquainted with a "stranger" so quickly.

However, as Doyle and Dan talked more and more, the rich amount of information in their words quickly attracted Franky, making him join the chat unknowingly.

Sure enough, the "downward compatible" chat of high-ranking people is always easy to attract the attention of low-ranking people. It makes people feel that just communicating with them is a very enjoyable thing.

"So, Prince Doyle, did you come here all the way from the South China Sea? And you even went to Mr. Dan's hometown, Fishman Island?"

"Of course, but well, I'm not just out for a trip or an adventure, but I have something to do."

Frankie heard Doyle talking about the journey from the South China Sea to the Great Channel and the formation of the Fishman Island, and he was immediately attracted. Although Frankie is considered a "technical person", he is not considered a "technical nerd". The world, he still yearns for very much.

"Prince Doyle, you should have business to do when you come to Water City this time, right? I wonder if it has something to do with our master, Mr. Tom?"

Espagu's focus is obviously different from that of his younger brother Franky. Through a short conversation, Espagu understood that Doyle, the crown prince of a country, must have come to the water capital. purpose.

And this huge city of water is not what he boasted about, and only his master, Mr. Tom, is worthy of attracting the attention of such a big man, so he easily connected the two.

What's more, he also learned from the other party's words just now that the reason why Doyle recruited Mr. Dan when he went to Fishman Island was probably related to his master Tom.

"Esbagu, you are indeed a smart person. My purpose is obvious. It is you, you and your master, Mr. Tom."

"You shouldn't stay in the city of water all your life as a small shipwright. Of course, there are Fram and Mr. Tom. Your value cannot be displayed by a small city of water."

Doyle didn't hide it. Since Espagu had already guessed something, he simply and generously stated his purpose. After all, people in this sea always prefer this kind of "heroic" style, straight to the point way of talking.

Dan on the side also nodded seriously when Espagu and Franky looked at him, saying that Doyle was not joking, and his solicitation was true.

"But, but we are in the water capital..."

Frankie was at a loss for words for a moment. If he had anything hard to give up on Water City at this time, then he really didn't. After all, the other party wanted to recruit their "family" now. In Qi Qi's mind, as long as they are still with Tom and Bingshan, then any place can be their home.
