Chapter 82 Ready to Set Sail

"That's impossible. The established rules cannot be changed. Give up this fantasy."

When the Five Elders heard Kuro's request, they refused without a second thought. He was too bold and actually wanted to plunder privately. What if they gave it to him?

Then isn't there any difference between the alternate and the official?

"Then don't blame me. After all, I'm not the kind of person who loves to help others."

Kuro said this in a relaxed tone and was about to hang up the phone.

"A devil fruit. We can provide a fruit as payment, but the bounty on that pirate will not be exchanged."

The Five Elders suddenly spoke up. At first, they were quite happy about the Devil Fruit, but later they said that the bounty would not be exchanged, which made Kuro feel like he was being fooled.

"Devil Fruit? From what I understand, the bounty on that pirate is 120 million berries. Adding the bounty on the crew, it's probably over 200 million berries."

"Devil fruits usually cost around 100 million berries, which means I spent double the money to buy a devil fruit. Is that still your reward to me?"

After Kuro finished speaking, he was amused himself. What the hell!

"One billion Baileys, that's just the price of the most common animal-type or parahuman-type devil fruit."

"As a reward, we can provide a devil fruit worth around 400 million berries."

The Five Elders said this in a calm tone, which actually made Kuro's eyes light up.

"This proposal sounds much more reasonable, but I want to choose the devil fruit myself. After all, abilities are something that only you can choose yourself."

"I can agree to your request, but we don't want anyone from the Lion Pirates to survive."

"No problem. I know this better than you do about rooting out the problem. That's it."

After saying this, Kuro hung up the Den Den Mushi and threw it to him. Then he stood up and stretched. It was really tiring to negotiate with the Five Elders.

"Ryan, Clo, it looks like we really have to go to Beast Island after our boat is fixed by Master Cooley."

"After all, this time, the price offered by the Five Elders is really irresistible. Hahahaha."

Ryan and Chloe heard what the captain said and smiled at each other. When Chloe was talking on the phone bug, they were listening nearby.

They also knew that the captain's purpose from the beginning was not to plunder privately.

"Well Captain, I will go collect information on the Lion Pirates and plan a route to Beast Island."

Clo pushed up his glasses, said that, and left.

"Captain, what should I do?"

"You? Keep training with me."

"Look at the fist!"

After that, the two of them started practical training again.

Time flew by, and three days passed. Just when Kuro and his friends were having dinner, Master Kure came over.

"Captain, I have already repaired the Weeping Angel and it is ready to go out to sea."

As soon as Master Cooley opened his mouth, he spoke good news.

"Really, Master Cooley? Then we'll set off tomorrow. I can't wait to ride on the Weeping Angel, hahahaha."

Hearing what Master Kure said, Kuro's face was filled with excitement and anxiety. If it wasn't too late, he would have wanted to go out to sea right now.

"Hahaha, Captain boy, you are really impatient!"

When Master Kulei heard what Kuro said, he put his hands on his hips and laughed.

"My little ones, you all heard it! Our ship is finished! Tomorrow is the day we set out again."

"So tonight! Let's celebrate! Hahaha."

"We must celebrate, Captain!"

"Today we have to get drunk to celebrate our departure!"

"Master Cooley, come along! Hahaha."

………………

Ryan and his crew members surrounded Master Cooley, and then threw Master Cooley into the air and caught him. This was their way of expressing their gratitude to Master Cooley.

Paul took a look at the little food left and quickly took Suoxi to the kitchen to cook.

Kuro drank his wine and watched everyone having so much fun, and he laughed along.

The celebratory banquet lasted until the early morning of the next day, and as a result, the Kuro Pirates almost didn't have time to go out to sea.

"Hey, Captain, wake up, aren't we setting off today?"

Paul shook Kuro's body with an anxious look on his face. Although the others were still dazed, they all woke up, leaving only the captain.

No matter how I called him, he wouldn't wake up. I told him before that if he couldn't drink, he should drink less. But yesterday, Master Ku Lei and I drank together until morning.

"Well, stop shaking. If you keep shaking I'll throw up."

Kuro took a long time to open his eyes, but as soon as he opened his eyes, he felt a rising urge to vomit, so he quickly trotted into the woods.

"vomit!"

"Oh ugh!"

Kuro held a big tree and fertilized it.

After a while, Kuro came back, refreshed.

"What time is it Paul?"

"It's past one in the afternoon, Captain."

"Well, there's still time. You and Cloe should go buy some food and water to put on the boat, and also buy some bedding and other things."

Kuro rubbed his face hard, and after trying to cheer himself up, he made arrangements with Paul.

"Captain, Master Kulei has already arranged for Zul to buy the things you mentioned. Now we just need to go to the port and board the ship."

"Really? Master Cooley is really reliable, hahaha."

"Alright, guys, let's go!"

"Okay Captain!"

After Kuro praised Master Kure, he led the crew towards the port of the Weeping Angel.

As soon as the group arrived at the port, they saw that everyone on Turtle Island was standing in front of the Weeping Angel, waiting for their arrival.

"Hello everyone, what are you all doing standing here?"

Kuro and the others walked up to the crowd and asked with a grin.

"Mr. Kuro, we are here to see you off and wish you a smooth journey ahead."

"Yes, Mr. Kuro, you must take good care of our Master Kulei."

"Please be careful, Mr. Kuro. I wish you a safe journey."

...............

Mr. Bebo came over with the crowd, shook Craw's hand, first said some blessings, and then muttered something in a language that Craw could not understand.

Later, I asked Master Kure and found out that it was a blessing unique to Turtle Island, blessing every ship to safely deliver people to their destination.

"Thank you, Mr. Beibo, and thank you all. If we didn't have another voyage ahead, I would really like to stay here. Hahahaha."

Seeing boatmen from all over the island coming to see them off, Kuro was so moved that he wanted to stay there.
