Chapter 96
The first island on this route has some very strange customs.
Whiskey Peak.
As the first island on this route, it has some very strange customs.
"Are they welcoming us?"
Walking at the back, Xiong timidly looked at the people on both sides who kept greeting them, and asked curiously. After all, in the Kingdom of Solbe, the people hated pirates the most.
However, Darrow acted very calmly. Having read the comics, he naturally knew that Whiskey Peak was actually the lair of a bounty hunter. On the surface, it was welcoming pirates, but in fact, it was thinking of stabbing them in the middle of the night.
"Logically speaking, the guy playing with the sand should still be sucking on his pacifier now." Darrow looked at the extras with enthusiastic smiles and muttered to himself.
In the noisy crowd, two people walked out one after the other. Darrow knew the man behind him.
"Darrow?" The cowboy behind him, who was wearing a cowboy hat and carrying two revolvers on his waist, greeted Darrow in a surprised tone.
And Darrow also recognized the person who came. It was the bounty hunter gunman that Lezibart had met before. The reason why he was so impressed was that Darrow's current main weapon "Olini" was given by him.
"Why are you here?" Darrow looked at Tim and asked.
Tim smiled heartily, looked at the man next to him and introduced: "This is my cousin Lime, who is also the mayor of this town. I originally wanted to go to the Grand Line to gain experience, so I came to him."
"How do you know each other?" Lime asked curiously as he saw the familiarity between the two.
Darrow did not answer immediately, but looked at Lime. He was a tall and strong man in a black suit and a curly wig that only lawyers would wear. He looked smart and capable, but his eyes kept dodging when he spoke.
"We are friends!" Darrow patted Tim on the shoulder and pulled him to reminisce about the past.
Suddenly, there was a commotion on the dock, and someone shouted, "A big pirate is coming!!"
It was like throwing a big stone into a frying pan, and the crowd immediately exploded. With a bang, the sound instantly increased by several decibels, and then everyone rushed to the other side of the dock.
"I'll go over there and take a look. You guys chat first... Oh, by the way! The Sea Men's Inn in front is free for pirates. You can go there to rest." Lime, the mayor, nodded to Darrow and said, and then walked towards the crowd without looking back.
Darrow and Rector looked at each other in surprise. He didn't expect these people to be so "real". They were so enthusiastic just now, but they didn't even turn their heads after seeing the pirate.
"I'll go and take a look. You guys go to the tavern and wait for me. Save the record pointer first." Darrow was afraid that the crowd would be too crowded and the group would be delayed for too long, so he asked the others to go back to the tavern to settle down first, and he pulled Tim towards the crowd.
"I want to see which pirate can attract so many people." Darrow muttered to himself while pushing away the crowd.
At the dock, a giant ship slowly approached the shore. A long staircase led from the deck to the shore, and then more than a dozen people came down from the ship.
"Dad, it's so lively here." A big man wearing sleeveless gray-gold armor and a bull-horned helmet sighed as he looked at the crowd.
"Yo, haha, so many people are here to welcome us?" A giant man who was more than five meters tall laughed heartily, then took a step forward and jumped straight from the deck to the shore.
The man's two iconic white beards were raised high, and under the white cloak were explosive muscles, holding a naginata taller than him.
It was the future world's strongest man - Whitebeard Newgate.
"Why is this guy here?" Darrow naturally recognized the person and muttered in shock.
"Why, Darrow, do you know him?" Tim, who was standing aside, looked at Darrow's surprised expression and asked with a smile.
Darrow didn't want to laugh with him. He turned his head with a serious look and said to Tim: "Tim, if you don't want to die, you'd better let your cousin be quiet and don't pay attention to them."
After that, Darrow patted Tim on the shoulder and walked back to the tavern on his own.
Only Tim was left in a mess.
I don't know if they listened to my advice, but Darrow has done his duty as a friend.
It is worth mentioning that the current White Group is not the hundreds of people behind.
A large fleet of thousands of people?
At this time, Whitebeard was still on the Rocks ship, and Marco had not yet boarded the ship. The crew members following him were Waibedi, Fossa, Kuliel and other old men.
And these old members who later went out to be independent on the ship did not have any dazzling performance even during the war at the top, and their strength should not be comparable to Ace, George and others who boarded the ship later.
Therefore, even if he really ran into Whitebeard and his men, Darrow was not very afraid. After all, with the strength of Darrow, Izumi Reiken and Rector, they could definitely run away.
Of course, if you can avoid conflicts, you should try to avoid them. After all, if you are beaten by the angry old Whitebeard and run around, you will still be very embarrassed.
"Captain, you are back." Elsa and Xiong, who were sitting in the lobby on the first floor of the hotel, greeted Darrow after seeing him come back.
"Where are Rector and Izumi Reiken?" Darrow nodded in response, looked around and found that Rector and Izumi Reiken were missing, so he asked.
"They heard about the drinking contest, so they went to the tavern." Elsa rolled her eyes and said helplessly.
"Okay, I'll go find them. Do you want to join me?"
Daro thought that he had nothing to do now, so he planned to go and see this "Cheers Contest". He seemed to remember that Sauron drank thirteen cups and won a prize of 100,000 Baileys.
"Forget it, go ahead." Elsa was completely uninterested in this boring man's game. She asked for some money from Daro and planned to take the bear around the island.
"Twelve cups, thirteen cups, fourteen cups..." Daro walked outside the tavern and heard noisy shouts inside.
After pushing the door in, he found that everyone was gathered around a wine table. On both sides of the table were Rekt and a slightly bald, mature-looking man, who were drinking fiercely.
"Fosa, can you do it? You can get 100,000 Baileys if you win." A woman with golden hair behind the man said with disdain.
"Bajin, shut up." The man named Fossa glared at the blonde woman fiercely, and at the same time, he brought the full glass to his mouth again.
But this time, he was already at his limit and fell down.
"How crazy is it to compete with the person who has the ability of the Wine-Wine Fruit in drinking!" Daro looked at the man who was drunk and said to himself.
"What a waste." Bajin rolled his eyes, pushed Fossa aside, and said to his companion with long braids: "Blenheim, you go!"
Just as the man was about to stand up and fight with Rector, he heard a loud laugh outside the tavern: "Kulala!"
Whitebeard squeezed in from the door of the tavern with difficulty and sat opposite Rector, "Kid, I'm going to compete with you this time!"
As a man who can drink himself to the point of having to have an IV drip, he, Newgate, is not afraid of anyone when it comes to drinking.
Rector didn't care. He nodded and was about to agree when he was stopped by Darrow.
Darrow: "Crews compete with crews, and captains compete with captains."
{Author: I think at least Whitebeard and Shiki should act independently with their own crews in the Rocks Pirates, but they belong to Rocks. }
Whitebeard, whose identity was directly revealed, exclaimed, looked at Darrow in surprise and said, "Oh! You know me."
"I've heard of you for a long time! Whitebeard Newgate!"
