Chapter 42

"Captain, when are we leaving?"

"Wait a little longer."

Such conversations are repeated almost every day.

The small island of Visalia is inhabited by a group of scholars, whose daily work is to observe, record, and study weather changes and patterns.

This makes the active Kidd very uncomfortable on the island, and he comes to ask Ryan when he will leave every few days.

Ryan moved out the rocking chair and prepared to take advantage of the cool weather here, when suddenly a head popped out from the corner of the wall.

"Captain! Do we really have to wait for that person to wake up before leaving?" Kidd said with his head down.

"Yes!"

It has been seven days since the battle between Golden Lion and Ryan, and Golden Lion has not yet woken up from his coma.

Ryan has decided where to go next, but he needs a little help from the Golden Lion's floating fruit.

Otherwise, Ryan really doesn't know how to get there, after all, Ryan doesn't even know where he is now.

And Ryan also wanted to see how the Golden Lion would react after he found out that he had saved him.

Ryan was not in a hurry to leave, he was different from Kidd.

Ryan liked the comfortable and peaceful living environment in Visalia very much, where Ryan's restless heart calmed down, which also made Ryan's recent breathing practice particularly easy.

"Kid, how is your recent practice going!" Ryan asked the listless Kidd.

Kidd got excited when he said this, and said to Ryan excitedly: "I feel that I am getting stronger every day, and I will definitely become as powerful as the captain in the future!"

"I am free now, come and let me see your recent practice results!" Ryan said with a smile.

"Captain, be gentle."

This was the first time Ryan offered to guide Kidd, which made Kidd a little nervous.

"Don't worry, I am different from Bailey."

Hearing Ryan's assurance that Kidd would no longer have any worries, he rushed up stupidly.

Ten minutes later...

The fat Kidd silently got up from the ground and staggered away from this sad place.

And swore that he would never believe what Ryan said again. He said that he would not be like Bailey, but it was not the same when it came to beating people.

"By comparing them, Bailey is still better!" Kidd didn't know why this voice came out of his heart.

Looking at Kidd's lonely figure, Ryan laughed and scolded in a low voice: "Let's see if you dare to slander my reputation in the future."

Ryan's advice to Kidd this time was not a whim. Bailey told Kidd everything that happened after he left two days ago, and Kidd was mentioned in particular.

After Kidd left, Ryan fell asleep in the rocking chair unconsciously until Indigo arrived and woke him up.

Seeing Indigo's joyful expression, Ryan seemed to understand something, so he asked tentatively: "Is Shiqi awake?"

"Well, the captain wants to see you, come with me."

Ryan didn't delay, got up and followed Indigo to find the Golden Lion.

Indigo took Ryan to a staircase and left. The staircase led to the top floor of Visalia.

Ryan walked up the stairs and soon saw the back of the Golden Lion.

"Why did you save me?" The Golden Lion said calmly.

"Do you need a reason to save you? If I really have to say one. That is, I think that even if a person like you is going to die, he should die in a blazing manner, not die without anyone paying attention."

"Hahaha, you are interesting. Do you want a drink?" After saying that, the Golden Lion threw a pot of wine to Ryan.

Ryan took it, opened it and took a big sip.

Looking at the Golden Lion in front of him, Ryan felt that the Golden Lion seemed to be different from before.

He couldn't help wondering, "Why do I feel that you are different from before?"

"Of course, people who have died once will be different. In fact, Golden Lion died 12 years ago. Would you like to hear my story?" Golden Lion looked at the sky in the distance and said calmly.

"Of course, the famous Golden Lion, who doesn't want to hear your story!"

Even the current Golden Lion couldn't help laughing when he heard Ryan's words.

"More than 40 years ago, a boy from the West Sea accidentally killed a noble because of his youthful vigor. As a result, because of the boy's impulse, the whole village was killed by the noble army. The most ridiculous thing is that the boy who was the source of all the troubles actually survived. Don't you think it's ridiculous?"

Golden Lion didn't wait for Ryan to answer, took a sip of wine and continued.

"Then the boy became a pirate in order to survive. A few years later, the boy led his pirate group to slaughter all the nobles' family. The boyIn the year, he felt that there was no opponent in the West Sea, so he took his pirate group to the Grand Line. He also made a great reputation on the Grand Line, until a man appeared. The boy had no power to fight back in front of that man, and finally joined the man's pirate group. "

Hearing this, Ryan couldn't help asking: "Is that man Rocks?"

"How do you know? Young people like you shouldn't know Captain Rocks!" Golden Lion was a little curious.

"Master Jabba and Master Rayleigh told me about him."

"Jabba, Rayleigh, it turns out that you are their disciple, no wonder you have Roger's sword, it seems that they chose you!"

Ryan was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"The person who inherits Roger's will."

Ryan looked at Golden Lion and shook his head and said: "I won't inherit his will, I'm just myself Portgas D. Ryan!"

"What does D stand for? Captain Rocks and Roger both have this word in their names. "

Ryan pouted: "Why should I tell you!" In fact, Ryan was saying in his heart: "Oda hasn't finished the ending yet, how can I know!"

Maybe he has let it go. Now Golden Lion finds Ryan's disdainful tone a little cute.

However, Golden Lion, who was interrupted by Ryan, was not interested in continuing the story.

Seeing that Golden Lion didn't speak, Ryan asked curiously: "Where are you going next?"

"I want to go back to the West Sea!"

"Then you can take me to a place first."

"Hmm?" Golden Lion frowned slightly.

"Don't forget that I saved you! "Lian saw that the golden lion seemed reluctant, so he used his trump card!

The next day, Ryan and his party stood on a stone boat and prepared to set off for the next destination, "Water City".

Because the ship was lost in the sea near Alabasta, Ryan planned to go to "Water City" to build a treasure ship that could sail freely on the sea.

After all, the shipbuilding technology of "Water City" is the ceiling of the pirate world. Roger's pirate ship Oro Jackson was built in Water City, and even the ancient weapon Pluto came from Water City.

"Grandpa Hareda, Grandma Leah, I will miss you!" Lori was saying goodbye to the two of them in tears.

Lori finally planned to continue to follow Ryan and the others to adventure!

Hareda threatened Ryan: "Boy! If you dare to bully Lori, I will not let you go!"

Ryan stretched out his hand and smiled at Lori: "Welcome to officially become one of us, Lori."

Lori immediately grabbed Ryan's hands and jumped onto the stone boat.

"Shiqi, let's go! "

At this time, the Golden Lion brought Indigo to the boat, directly controlled the stone boat to float in the air and fly away, and soon disappeared from sight.

"It will be very troublesome if Lori's life experience is discovered by someone with ulterior motives!" Leah was a little worried.

Hareda hugged Leah and smiled: "It's okay, Lori's friends are still very reliable."
