Chapter 63 Legend
It is also a big chapter of words. Please continue to ask for support, dear friends!
The boat was won back, but the things it was given could not be returned. Originally, according to Meng Xuan's wish, instead of letting the old man suffer the pain and torture, it would be better to just give him a knife! In this way, the Straw Hat Pirates are freed, and so is the old man!
Of course, only Sauron supported this opinion. Robin and Mengyu maintained their usual neutral attitude, so Mengxuan's opinion was in vain. .
"In order to celebrate the recapture of Merry, how about having a banquet tonight and leaving tomorrow?" Luffy yelled, but actually it was because he knew that the food on the ship had been completely consumed because of taking care of the old man! It's better to eat more tonight in the name of having a banquet and prepare more food at the same time.
"Well, that's fine."
At the bonfire banquet in the evening, there was a money addict named Nami sitting next to the old man, but how could the old man be such a ghost? How could he not see that the smiling little girl beside him kept toasting to him just to ask something from his mouth? But after getting along with each other for a few days, the old man also saw that most of the Straw Hat Pirates were relatively down-to-earth people. Except for the one next to him and the big guy next to him who kept staring at his treasure, the rest of the group basically They all try their best to take care of themselves.
"Huh..." After drinking all the wine in the glass in one gulp, the old man slowly told his experience. The old man Mingjiao Jenny is a person who makes a living by lending money, and what is different from ordinary people is that all the people he lends money to are pirates on the Great Waterway! The famous loan shark Jenny is this old man who only looks wretched...
"And my treasure..." His eyes shifted to the goat beside him, and Jenny's eyes flashed with love. "It should be these little guys, right?"
"Oh, can I have one?" Meng Xuan has never eaten goat meat since he came to the pirate world! At this moment, I saw so many goats right in front of me. I still remember the goats I stole and roasted in my previous life, and the smell of the meat is still fresh in my memory! Of course, the more important thing was that I had not eaten for several days. Everything tastes delicious at this time, not to mention a fresh and tender lamb?
"If you dare to touch their idea, the old man will bite off a piece of your body even if he fights to the death..." Jenny looked at Meng Xuan coldly, and there was a faint murderous look in his eyes that had always only been wretched!
"Tch! What a stingy guy!" Meng Xuan didn't care. Although he had a special affection for goat meat, Meng Xuan had basically never lacked food in this life. Naturally, he wouldn't look at everything like a starving ghost like in his previous life. .
"I have been a loan shark all my life, but my dream since I was a child is to be a real pirate - the Pirate King! It is because of this dream that I became a loan shark, but later I had to hide here to avoid my enemies. I have been hiding on a small island for twenty years. Although I have never given up my dream, I think it is impossible to transport materials from the top of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, so the boat can only be built on the mountain. Since it cannot go to the sea , then just use it as my coffin. But..." Jenny's tone suddenly became very low. "Even if I can go to sea now, I am already old and it is already too late..."
"If you want to go, can't you just go there?" Luffy said nonchalantly. “Where are the age and gender requirements for pursuing dreams?”
"Really?" A look of hope flashed in Jenny's eyes, but he soon smiled bitterly. "I didn't expect that I have been working for so many decades, but I can't compare to a young boy like you..."
"Isn't it enough to just get the boat down the mountain anyway?" Luffy's casual words quickly rekindled the long-extinguished flame in Jenny's heart!
"What dream can an old man like me have to fulfill? That Straw Hat kid is really good at forcing people." When all the Straw Hat Pirates were lying on the ground in disarray, Jenny was holding the wine alone. He took the bottle to his boat and drank it all in one gulp. Looking at the completely dry skin on his hands, Jenny couldn't help but smile bitterly.
"Our captain is like this." Suddenly a tall figure walked onto the ship, but it was Robin who was not asleep. "Always restore confidence to those who have lost hope. This is our captain."
"Haha... It seems that Miss Robin is quite happy following him? Is that right?"
"Maybe?" Recalling every bit of Merry's life, Robin showed a smile, but did not admit it. "I'm not sure..." But two tall figures came to mind.
"You won't regret it." Jenny smiled. "I can tell just by looking at your face. Miss Robin, your life has just begun..." Robin smiled but said nothing.
Jenny drank another glass of wine, but his tone became lower again. "Perhaps my dreams can only be buried on this island just like the years before. After all, what can a seventy-year-old man who has no strength left to fight do?"
Robin stopped talking, and Jenny continued to drink one cup after another. On the tree in the distance, two figures quietly looked at the two people on the boat.
"Are you really so worried about this woman?" A soft voice came out, but it was Mengyu.
"After all, I have been on the run for nearly twenty years. Although I believe in Luffy's charisma, I don't want to bet my future on this uncertain charm." Another deep voice came out, but it was Meng Xuan. "Luffy doesn't have that many tricks up his sleeve, and he won't hate others even if he is sold. This is what my master and Professor Maginot gave to Luffy, and it is also one of the reasons why I chose to board the spaceship. Since I have recognized Now that I have Luffy as the captain, no matter as a crew member or as a brother, I must put Luffy’s personal safety first.”
"Then you are still training him so hard?" Speaking of Luffy's injuries, half of the most serious injuries were caused by Meng Xuan!
"The great waterway is no better than that of the Four Seas. My strength is enough to protect myself, but not enough to run wild." Meng Xuan slowly reached the tree trunk and rested his head on Meng Yu's thigh. Smelling the fragrance of Mengyu, the boredom in Meng Xuan's heart gradually disappeared. "Once I get rid of any accident, then Luffy can only rely on his own strength to face the enemy. If he really wants to die, I would rather he die in my hands than die in the hands of others because of his lack of strength... "
"In your heart, which one is more important, Luffy or me?" Meng Yu was silent for a while and finally asked what she cared about most, but Meng Xuan in her arms had already begun to snore. Hatefully, he stretched his fingers towards the soft flesh of Meng Xuan's waist, but after contact, the pinching turned into a gentle kneading.
Suddenly a scream came, Meng Xuan woke up immediately, and Meng Yu, who was sleeping on his head, naturally woke up too.
"Go to sleep." Meng Xuan stood up slowly. But he held Mengyu firmly in his arms. Mengyu struggled a few times but failed to break free. In addition, she had been watching Robin's actions last night and had only slept for less than an hour at this time. Now that Meng Xuan is awake. Drowsiness immediately came over like a flood that broke a bank. With her head nestled in Meng Xuan's arms, Meng Yu fell asleep quickly - as long as she was in Meng Xuan's arms, no one could hurt her. , unless Meng Xuan is dead!
"It seems like something happened?" Meng Xuan frowned slightly when he saw the noisy people below. But it soon resumed - and the remaining members of the Straw Hat Pirates had regained their composure. Except of course a certain guy in a straw hat and the ship's doctor. Usopp didn't know where he ran.
"Is that... a warship?" A mighty shadow in the distance came into view. At this time, the fog was thick and Meng Xuan could not see clearly.
"Help!" Just as Meng Xuan was thinking about what was going on, another shrill scream came from down the mountain, but it was Usopp who seemed to have been arrested.
"Really..." It's not that Meng Xuan has never thought about improving his combat power against Usopp, but for Usopp and even Nami who have decided to take the technical stream, they are not willing, or they can't bear it. Strict training was the reason why Meng Xuan could only let it go. After all, it was not Luffy, so just try to save their lives. If they really failed and lost their lives, they could only blame themselves.
Holding Mengyu in his arms, of course, he couldn't shave. Mengxuan could only imitate his classmate Tarzan to jump around, but Mengxuan did not use the rattan, but relied entirely on his own bounce.
"Um... you are holding my partner, can you let go?"
"Ah..." Before Meng Xuan could finish his words, he saw the others looking at him in horror!
"Ah? Am I that scary?" Meng Xuan was very curious. But after a second, he knew why - behind him, Jenny was driving a boat rushing down the mountain, and the destination seemed to be the position he occupied!
"Moonstep!" If Mengyu hadn't been sleeping soundly in his arms, Meng Xuan would have kicked the broken ship down with his Lan kick!
"Wow, grandpa is so awesome!" Luffy said with a happy smile when he saw Jenny finally decided to go to sea.
"It's your uncle! Believe it or not, I'll poison you in a minute?" Meng Xuan cursed and stared at Jenny's boat that had rushed into the sea. Of course, he hated Usopp and the group of navy who held him hostage - who Let them just focus on screaming, but don't remember to remind themselves?
"Let them see how pirates fight, grandpa!" Meng Xuan took care of Mengyu in his arms, so he just scolded him in his heart. Luffy's normal scolding could be heard as a compliment. It is naturally impossible to see the goods. At this time, he ferociously pushed Jenny's boat towards the warship!
"Why is it so noisy?" Although Meng Xuan ran very smoothly, the roars from Usopp before and now Luffy made Mengyu unable to sleep anymore.
"It's okay, it's just a group of puppies fighting for food." Meng Xuan gently wrapped Meng Yu with his cloak. The wind at the beach was very strong. Even if Meng Yu couldn't get sick from it, Meng Xuan was not willing to let it go. Let her be blown by the sea breeze. "Go to sleep, I'll take care of everything."
"Yes." Mengyu nodded, squeezed into a more comfortable position in Meng Xuan's arms, and fell asleep again.
"Luffy. Can an old man and a group of goats defeat a group of armed marines?" Meng Xuan kicked Luffy's butt. Although this guy occasionally came up with some wise words, it was lacking in strength. There is still no way to correct the problem.
"Ah? Oh no!" Luffy yelled and rushed over. Meng Xuan returned to Meili and put Mengyu on the bed. At this time, it was time to prepare for war, and Meng Xuan had no intention of doing anything else.
"Meng Xuan, start the boat quickly!" As soon as Meng Yu was put on the bed, Nami's scream came from outside.
"What's wrong? Why are you so panicked?"
"Luffy! Luffy fell into the sea!" It was Luffy who rushed over, but a Marine Micho cut off the rope Luffy was holding on to. Luffy, who had no place to land, had only one way out: falling into the water.
"You sail the boat, and I'll rescue him!" Nami wanted to say something else, but Meng Xuan had already jumped into the sea.
"Chopper sails the ship! Sanji lowers the sail!" There are only two workers on the ship, and Nami is still very good at making the best use of them.
"Grandpa, you must hold on!" Chopper, who was in charge of the helm, kept talking about Jenny.
"Don't worry, Chopper, we will definitely get there before the old man dies." Sanji pressed Chopper's head. The sail has been lowered, and he has come to replace Chopper. Since he was so nervous about the old man Jenny, it would be better to let him prepare the treatment tools.
"Sanji, how can you say that?" Nami punched Sanji bitterly.
"Hi! Miss Nami!" Sanji started to twist again. "Miss Nami who is so violent is also so charming..."
"If the old man dies, who will I ask about the treasure?" Nami looked at Sanji with hatred. "That's the harvest of decades of loan sharking! If not billions of Baileys, at least hundreds of millions of Baileys!" As he spoke, a pair of Bailey eyes had already formed...
"How could you think that?" Chopper yelled at Nami while organizing his tools. "That is what the old man saved with his own hard work. How can he keep thinking about other people's money? This is immoral behavior!"
"Well, that's right. People like me will go to hell." Nami said nonchalantly.
"Miss Nami, who is so greedy for money, is still so charming!"
"That's enough of you, Sanji!"
"Hey! Angry Miss Nami is still so charming!"
"Ah? Did we hit something?" Sanji, who was in charge of the helm, suddenly asked.
"How is it possible? Meng Xuan is in front." In addition to money and clothes, the rest in Nami's eyes is Meng Xuan. As for other things, there is really nothing that can catch her eye...
"Damn it! These bastards!" A green algae head emerged from the water. "Sooner or later I will kill you..."
"Robin, your reaction speed is a bit slow." Meng Xuan pointed at the big bump on Robin's head. navy? With Robin and Meng Xuan, the ordinary navy is no match for hundreds of people! Robin was unscathed, except for his head being hit by a tree while descending the mountain.
"Yes. I understand. I will be careful next time." Robin didn't care about this pain at all. There is nothing greater than grief over the death of a heart. For Robin, a person whose heart had just been restored to life, pain and other things had not yet left a strong mark on her life dictionary.
"Baby, are you okay? Ah, no, is grandpa okay?" Nami rushed over first, but she accidentally let it slip as soon as she opened her mouth.
"Haha... you little girl." Jenny finally told everything about his past. He originally exchanged all the treasures for banknotes for convenience, but when he was avoiding the pursuit of his enemies, he was washed up on this island in a shipwreck. Although the box containing the money was still in my arms, all the money in it was eaten by the goat as food...
This made Nami immediately lose interest in Jenny...
"Hey, can you please don't be so obvious about your love for money?" Meng Xuan persuaded.
"Then why are you gnashing your teeth and staring at these sheep?" Nami curled her lips.
In the end, Jenny returned to the island. His body was indeed no longer able to withstand the wind and waves at sea. After Chopper left him with the medicine he prepared, he returned to Merry. And the navy? Several people who had seen Meng Xuan on the shore were all killed. The rest were stopped by the reef while pursuing Merry. Melly escaped safely.
After a few more days of sailing, a new island appeared in front of everyone. Luffy rushed into the hotel first, but Meng Xuan, who rushed in after Luffy, noticed the content of the others' conversation - Rainbow Fog...
