Chapter 439
The cherry blossom trees in the courtyard are in full bloom, and the pink petals are gently falling like clouds and mist. The breeze blows through the sea of flowers, creating ripples like a dream. The three people stop to appreciate it as if they are in a fairyland.
However, this beautiful scene is accompanied by a hint of melancholy, perhaps because the brevity of cherry blossoms is like the impermanence of life, or perhaps because of the cycle of flowers blooming and falling, which makes people sigh at the passage of time.
But it is this melancholy that gives cherry blossoms a unique beauty, which allows people to appreciate beauty while also thinking about the meaning and value of life.
Cherry blossoms should cherish and grasp the beauty of the moment. Although melancholy lingers in our hearts, we can still draw strength from cherry blossoms and bravely face the ups and downs and challenges of life.
Kaido led his two men to the center of the courtyard, where there is a small and exquisite pavilion, which is like a bright pearl, inlaid in the space of this sea of cherry blossoms.
The top of the pavilion is an exquisite eaves design, with four corners slightly tilted up, as if spreading wings to the sky. The pillars of the pavilion are straight and upright, steadily supporting the entire structure, giving people a sense of solidity and elegance.
Inside the pavilion, there is a round stone table and several stone chairs, which quietly wait for people to come, as if telling a quiet story.
The pavilion is surrounded by lush plants, which add a touch of vitality and vigor to the pavilion. The breeze blows and the leaves rustle, forming a wonderful contrast with the tranquility of the pavilion. Here they can put down their fatigue and troubles, immerse themselves in the embrace of nature, and enjoy a moment of tranquility and beauty.
After the two men present sat down, Black Maria became a waitress, and thoughtfully prepared wine glasses for Lord Kaido and Lord Jin, and took out the treasured wine to fill them for the two.
"This is the new brewing technique I learned. You are the first person in the group to drink it except me. Try it to see if my brewing skills have improved."
Since there were no outsiders here, Jin opened the black mask on his face. His handsome face was serious and steady. His silver hair contrasted sharply with his brown skin. The black wings behind him were slightly tightened. The wreath-shaped tattoo around his left eye added a touch of mystery to him.
He picked up the wine glass and drank the captain's newly brewed cherry blossom wine. When he first took a sip, the wine had a hint of sweetness and moistened his throat like a spring.
The wine was rich and mellow as if it was the accumulation of years. Every drop contained a deep background. It was not like those inferior rums. It would not irritate the mouth. A strange smell gave people a rough feeling.
On the contrary, it was as smooth as silk and flowed slowly, making people's taste buds dance on the tip of the tongue, enjoying this unique flavor.
As the wine slid into the throat, a refreshing feeling surged into the brain, as if a breeze blew away fatigue and troubles. This refreshing feeling was not freezing but just the right comfort, which made people feel happy and refreshed.
The originally anxious and irritable mood was slightly relieved after drinking the cherry wine. Although Yan Zai Jin looked like a handsome man, he was essentially a rough man. He could not say too many words of praise for the wine, and could only repeat a few words of good wine.
"The clown Buggy has risen so fast in recent years. There must be something wrong. Tell me about your experience in the Infinite City and give more details."
Kaido and Roger belong to the same generation. When the Pirate King became famous in the sea, he was still a cadre of the Rocks Pirates. He struggled for nearly 20 years to grow up and get the current position of the Four Emperors.
It took almost ten years for Shanks, the nominal successor of Gol D. Roger, to rise to prominence, while his good friend Buggy the Clown, only took two or three years to become a local tyrant and a Four Emperor force that could not be ignored on the sea.
After the Battle of Marineford, Buggy used the signboard of knowing the Four Emperors Red Hair to gather some minor characters to join his pirate group. At first, the Beasts Pirates did not care about this clown, thinking that the other party was just pretending to borrow the reputation of Shanks, and was a paper tiger with a name but no substance that would be broken with a single poke.
But after the Iron Blood War, the newly established naval system suffered a great loss at the station of Buggy the Clown on Iron Island. Even the White Horse Admiral Smoker, who arrived later, was almost sent away by the clown.
The death battle between the Navy Admiral and Buggy the Clown made Iron Island completely disappear from the map. Afterwards, reports about the Iron Blood War were published in newspapers one after another. Morgans, the birdman, described the war vividly in the newspapers.
In addition, in recent years, former Seven Warlords of the Sea have joined the Joker Pirates in a high-profile manner, and Buggy's personal bounty has skyrocketed, and the position of the Four Emperors has naturally fallen on his head.
By the time the Beasts Pirates turned their attention to the Joker Pirates, Buggy's power had expanded beyond imagination, especially the InfiniteThe city, as the headquarters of the Four Emperors, the other three sea emperors said they were not envious when they saw it, that would definitely be a lie.
"After the trip to Infinite City, we corrected a mainstream view in our group that those former Seven Warlords of the Sea were not the main cadres of Buggy the Clown. The two sides were at most a cooperative or employment relationship."
In the general perception of the outside world, the five Seven Warlords of the Sea joined the Joker Pirates. Each of them was definitely a very powerful cadre, supporting the Four Emperors as the skeleton, but Jin and most people overlooked one point, and they all underestimated the unique personalities of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
The predecessors of the Seven Warlords of the Sea were either loners and ruthless people, or they had a certain status or had established some big forces. These two types of people did not like to be inferior to others.
Asking them to join a certain force and become cadres and have a boss on their heads might be more uncomfortable than killing them. They are all unruly guys, and disobeying management is bound to happen.
"Buggy the Clown does not use those Seven Warlords of the Sea as cadres. Does he have other capable people under him?"
Flame Disaster Jin nodded in response. This time when he went to Infinite City for negotiation, he saw a strange strong man. He had never heard of his name on the sea, but his strength should not be underestimated.
"So, Master Jin has fought with Buggy's cadres. If you feel troubled, then we need to re-evaluate the threat level of the Joker Pirates."
Black Maria finished speaking and refilled the wine for the two men. As the intelligence chief of the Beasts Pirates, she knew very little about the Joker Pirates, which was one of the reasons why Master Kaido asked her to listen.
Jin told everything he knew about the next thing, and restored the details of the battle as much as possible, so that Master Kaido would have some practical understanding of Buggy's cadres.
