Chapter 843: Scholars' Affairs
Chapter 843 Scholars' Affairs
...
The end of the first half of the Great Route
Chambord Islands.
The entire island is supported by the huge roots of the Alman mangroves and is suspended above the blue sea.
The huge tree canopy blocks out the sun, and the sunlight leaks through the gaps between the leaves, creating healing rays of light.
Countless resin bubbles were bubbling up from the wet ground. The surface of each bubble reflected brilliant rainbow colors. They floated slowly towards the sky and burst as they passed over the treetops. The crisp sound of the bubbles bursting was echoing throughout the island.
A small bookstore standing quietly in the alley.
The sunlight shines in through the large floor-to-ceiling glass windows, making the entire bookstore bright and perfect for reading.
"Wow! Siguoyi! It's a picture of all the Shichibukai!"
"Where? Let me see too!"
The two little kids huddled in a corner and had a heated discussion about the illustrations in the newspaper.
"Hey, Ah Dai, who do you think is the strongest among the Seven Warlords of the Sea? I think it must be the cyborg Franky-sama who is the most powerful!"
The ramen-haired kid had stars in his eyes and said with admiration.
"Look at him in this full body steel mecha, he's so handsome! I really want to have one! Damn it!"
"Furthermore, Mr. Franky can change his form at will. On the battlefield, he once tried to transform into a turret. The firepower of one person is more powerful than that of more than a dozen navy ships combined! The pirates were forced to flee in panic! So Mr. Franky must be the strongest!"
"Yeah, yeah! That's right!"
The onion-headed kid wearing round-framed glasses was also nodding frantically in approval.
"Actually, I wanted to choose Franky-sama just now!"
"Huh? No, that won't do. That's so boring. You can't choose the same one as me! Ah Dai, quickly change a Shichibukai so that we can compete with each other!"
The instant noodle head urged.
"Ah? But, but I just think that Franky-sama is the best! I won't change! If you want to change, you change!"
Onionhead was obviously unhappy and refused to betray his idol.
"But I chose it first! Of course you should change it!"
"I don't want it! You change it!"
"You change!"
"You change!"
"... "
"Haha! A brat is a brat. He knows nothing but is still guessing who is the strongest."
Just when the two children were arguing with each other and their friendship was about to fall apart, a discordant voice suddenly came from the side.
"What an ignorant kid, how ridiculous! Franky is just a bunch of fancy tricks that are useless. How can he be called the strongest of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"
"Hey you!"
Upon hearing this, the two little ghosts turned around and stared at the person who spoke angrily.
"Ok?"
Hearing the noise, the female clerk curiously poked her head out from behind the newspaper, wanting to see who would be so idle as to argue with two little kids.
The person who was speaking was a tall young man. He was wearing casual clothes, slippers, shorts, a floral shirt, a baseball cap and sunglasses. He had his hands in his pockets and looked very nonchalant.
"Huh? Such a conspicuous guy, I didn't even notice when he came in."
The salesgirl frowned slightly.
"Hey...you...you..."
As a local of Shampoo, he basically didn't grow up without good sense. The noodle-haired kid first looked him up and down, and made sure that the man had no tattoos, scars, or weapons! Only then did he muster up the courage to say what he wanted to say.
"But... Damn it! How dare you look down on Master Franky!"
"Hahaha, what's there to be afraid of? I just think he's not the strongest, so what? Even if he was standing right here, I would still dare to say so!"
"If Mr. Franky were here, he would definitely blow you away with one shot!"
"Hahaha, even if he blows me up he's not the strongest Shichibukai! Lululululu!"
Gel made a childish face and deliberately provoked him.
"Ahhh! Damn it! This bastard is so arrogant!"
The two little devils were both angry and anxious, but they couldn't say anything to fight back for a long time.
"Haha, in my opinion, among the Seven Warlords of the Sea, Don Quixote Doflamingo is definitely the strongest! As the saying goes, a man can be both soft and hard, and can bend and stretch! Only then can he be a real man! Just for this reason alone, Franky, who you are optimistic about, is not even worthy of carrying my brother's shoes!"
"How is that possible! It would be fine if you said someone else! How could that Doflamingo guy be the most powerful?"
The instant noodle-head immediately stretched his neck and retorted.
"You are the one who talks nonsense without knowing anything! In the war at the top, he was the only one among the Shichibukai who was beaten the hardest and in the most miserable state! And you still have the nerve to call yourself the strongest Shichibukai?!"
"That's right! That's right! I saw it all during the live broadcast! Don Quixote Doflamingo's entire face was swollen from being beaten! Even his feather cape was blown off! He was still making that 'fffffff' sound, and I don't know what he was grinning about."
The Onion-Headed Imp also retorted.
"Huh? Really? Is there anything else you want to add?"
Gel enjoyed listening to the two kids' merciless complaints about their good brother.
"?"
"Huh? That's it? No way? That's it? Think about it again!"
"Humph! Of course! Doflamingo blah blah..."
It was not until the two of them had stopped complaining that Gel smiled with satisfaction.
"So Doflamingo is so bad? Well, you barely win this round. I admit that Franky's mecha is the coolest!"
"Yeah! Great! We won!"
Upon hearing this, the two innocent kids clapped their hands against each other, then performed Franky's classic moves and happily celebrated their victory!
"Super~~!"
"Hehehe!"
The corners of Gel's mouth curled up slightly, and he thought to himself that little brats are easy to deceive.
...
"Crack! Crack!"
"Hey! You two! Come here to read books for free again! You've been reading for such a long time and why don't you go back!"
At the side, the female clerk with a pair of listless panda eyes and long black curly hair tied in a fluffy ponytail couldn't stand it anymore, so she walked over and knocked on the heads of the two kids with the rolled-up newspaper in her hand.
"Ah! No! We've been discovered by the Afro Monster! Run! Afro is contagious!"
"Ah! I don't want an afro!"
The two little kids quickly put down their books, spread their short legs, and ran away from the back door of the bookstore while chasing and fighting.
"Are you here to get free books too?"
The female clerk turned to look at Geer and asked.
"Hey, hey, hey, how can you call what scholars do whoredom? It sounds so ugly!"
