Chapter 18

The news that the navy has been in the spotlight is still very huge.

It has to be said that the influence of the navy in the four seas is still very huge.

The latest issue of the newspaper reported the destruction of the Big Cannon Pirates.

＜The young hero made a strong move, and the Big Cannon Pirates were completely annihilated＞

As soon as this issue of the newspaper came out, almost the entire South China Sea was boiling. The article vividly described how Darrow defeated the evil pirates and saved the residents of the entire town in a shocking tone.

There are two main reasons for the high popularity. On the one hand, it is because Lao Qiaoxi, the commander of the West Asian Kingdom Guard Corps who has been silent for more than ten years, has reappeared. It can be seen that the appeal of this former strongest man in the South China Sea is still very strong.

On the other hand, it was because of Darrow. The newspaper described Darrow in a gentle way as a hero who stopped Sam from destroying the town, a brave and enthusiastic citizen.

It seemed that Darrow was going to be promoted as a role model. Several waves of navy men had come to his house, and their enthusiasm made Darrow think that if he didn't join the navy, he would have lived in vain.

Darrow was unwilling to join the navy, and he had no interest in being in the limelight. He was even annoyed these days.

The town residents who learned about the incident these days insisted on thanking Darrow, and several consecutive banquets made him very upset.

Another reason was that Darrow was targeted. Not only was he targeted by the navy and kept lobbying, but he was also harassed by some small pirate groups.

These guys who played the pirate house game saw Darrow being in the limelight. In order to compete for the limelight, they provoked Darrow many times, hoping to make some big news and become famous by stepping on Darrow.

The result is naturally that those who step on others will always be stepped on by others.

But the devil is easy to deal with, and the repeated troubles are not a long-term solution, but this has strengthened Darrow's determination to leave Batlila.

That day, after beating off a few small fish, Darrow talked to Lu Jiu about his plan to leave Batlila during dinner.

Although Lu Jiu was very reluctant, it was not suitable to stay in the town under the current circumstances.

There have been several times when the troublemakers went directly to the tavern where Lu Jiu worked to make trouble because they couldn't find Darrow, which has seriously affected the normal operation of the tavern.

Although the owner and customers in the tavern did not blame, Lu Jiu felt very sorry.

"Okay, when are we going?" Lu Jiu said reluctantly.

"Wait a few days, pack up your things first." Darrow thought for a while and said, Darrow has no idea about the future arrangements.

He didn't plan to go out to sea directly to take risks. After all, he had a sister who had no fighting ability. It was too dangerous to go out to sea with her.

There were two purposes for this departure. On the one hand, he wanted to find a safe place for Lu Jiu to settle down. On the other hand, he also had to prepare for going out to sea in the future.

Without even a ship or a navigator, Darrow didn't want to be like Luffy, stuffing himself in a wooden barrel to sail. If he was not the protagonist, it would be better not to imitate this operation.

Moreover, if he went out to sea rashly, the risk would be too great. The devil fruit ability user could not stand a little wind and waves.

After dinner, Darrow returned to the room. What was different from before was that there was an extra cabinet at the innermost part of the room, which contained Darrow's 87 million bounty.

Lying on the bed, Darrow was thinking about the future of the two. He planned to find a place to transition first, settle Lu Jiu, and then make some money to buy a ship to go out to sea, so the most important thing now was to find a suitable place.

First of all, it must be safe. Daro intends to let Luju live there for a long time, so at least there should be no political turmoil or armed conflict. It is best to have a naval base, so that the risk of pirate invasion is relatively small.

In addition, it cannot be too close, and the surrounding Green Barto is not allowed. If it is too close, it will still be recognized, and then there will be endless harassment.

Suddenly, he thought of a suitable place.

So, Daro turned over and got up, and took out a map from the desk drawer and spread it on the ground.

Found it, it is it-Let's Battle.

Daro cast his eyes on a small island located on the coast of the neighboring Kingdom of Yaan, which is Let's Battle, known as the Duel Island.

The Kingdom of Yaan is a country with abundant martial virtues, strong national strength, relatively stable political power, and a navy stationed, so ordinary pirates dare not invade.

Value

It is worth mentioning that the current Lezibart is in the annual duel ranking period, which is very suitable for Darrow to improve his strength at this stage.

Speaking of strength, Darrow has not been idle after getting the fruit, and has developed several new moves in succession.

He has developed several types of bullets alone. It must be said that Dutch's "Special Bullet Notes" gave him a lot of help, such as:

Compressed air bullets made of compressed air;

Special seawater bullets made of compressed seawater;

Suffocating smoke bombs made of compressed dust;

Scattered iron star bombs made of compressed iron gravel.

Among them, the special seawater bullet should be mentioned in particular. It has very important tactical significance for Darrow. Although it is not as good as the sea floor stone bullet, it still has great lethality to the devil fruit ability user.

Imagine that when a fruit ability user is using his ability against Darrow, a special seawater bullet explodes on him, like a bathtub of seawater pouring out. It can't be said that it can defeat the enemy in one move, but at least it can make the enemy lose strength for a short time.

In addition, there are physical techniques, [Bluebird] and [Instant Step] have been strengthened to a certain extent.

Using the reaction force after compressed air, the shortcoming of [Instant Step] in distance has been made up, and even the speed has been improved to a certain extent.

As for the defect that [Bluebird] cannot stay in the air, Da Luo used a more brutal method to make up for it. He continuously compressed the air in the air and released it, and used the reaction force after the air was released to allow himself to stay in the air directly.

In addition, [White Ze] has been developed to be able to dodge and move continuously in battle. It accumulates air in advance and controls the compressed air around the body to form a jet air curtain, and then pushes it with compressed air behind, so that the enemy cannot get close to him while he can quickly escape.

It can be said that Da Luo's current strength can beat Sam before, and even solve the battle within three moves.

The hard training in the past few days is one aspect, and the more important thing is that this fruit is too suitable for Da Luo. After eating the fruit, Da Luo has improved in all aspects, just like it was tailor-made for him.

In the next two days, Lu Jiu first quit her job at the tavern, and then packed up her things at home with Da Luo, ready to leave at any time.

On the morning of the third day.

Lu Jiu and Da Luo visited several families who had taken care of them in the past, such as: Aunt Lena, the owner of the tavern, Aunt Lucy, the neighbor, Simon and Ziduo, the fishermen...

Especially Aunt Lena, when she heard that Lu Jiu was going to leave, she held Lu Jiu's hand tightly with tears in her eyes.

Yes, Lu Jiu is the golden sign of the tavern. Now that Lu Jiu is gone, the business is definitely not as good as before...

Aunt Lucy, who is usually carefree, is also very reluctant to let go. The two little guys grew up under her care. Although Da Luo was a little naughty when he was young, Lucy felt a little empty in her heart when he was leaving now.

It was three o'clock in the afternoon, and the ship to Lezibart had already docked. On the dock, Darrow was carrying a large luggage on his back, and Lujiu was chatting with Aunt Lucy not far away.

Many people came to see off the little hero of Batlila Town.

"Toot~"

The whistle sounded before departure on the ship. It was time to say goodbye. Darrow and Lujiu waved goodbye to everyone and boarded the ship.

"Goodbye, Batlila Island."

With everyone's blessings, the brother and sister ushered in a new journey.

The next stop is the Duel Island-Lezibart.

-------------------Dividing line-----------------

Here, Lucy, who had just said goodbye to the brother and sister, walked to the door of her house. As soon as the key was inserted into the door, the children at home rushed out and opened the door for her.

"Mom, mom, there is a new cabinet in our house, and inside... it's all money," the child said breathlessly.

"Money? What nonsense are you talking about? Go away, don't mess with me." Lucy didn't believe it and thought the kid was joking.

"Really, it's all money, I'm not lying to you."

"..."

"All money? How much can it be." Lucy asked nonchalantly. She didn't think the two little brats were talking about a lot of money.

"Dad said, there are 80 million Baileys."

"!!!!"
