Pirate: My partner is too crooked

Infinite Dream lobby.

Mihawk sat on the sofa with his legs crossed, with high-end tea brewed by Aqua in front of him.

The black sword with a unique and highly recognizable appearance had already been put away and hung quietly on his back.

Putting aside the relationship with Red-haired Shanks, to be honest, he didn't have much ill will toward Lin Zhi and his gang at Sea Restaurant.

After some previous trials at sea, Lin Zhi's strength and courage as a newcomer to the sea were confirmed.

The battle between the two came to an end. At the invitation of Lin Zhi, Mihawk boarded the Infinite Dream as a guest.

"It seems that after being slapped with a high bounty by the World Government, your life is not so easy."

After taking a sip of the tasteless "tea", Mihawk silently put down the teacup and sighed in a low voice.

I can't even get decent tea.

However, there is one thing to say. Compared with pure water, this cup of tea does have a relaxing effect. As a supplement after a hearty battle, it is not bad.

Opposite him were Lin Zhi and his companions on the ship.

"To put it bluntly, our quality of life is super good!"

Aqua was the first to stand up and retort, casually waving her hand to Lin Zhi next to her, "Lin Zhi, take out all the wine on the ship and let this world's number one swordsman see our bottomless resource!"

"...It must be your own alcohol addiction." Lin Zhi said sharply.

"No, no! You must use the best wine to entertain distinguished guests. Isn't this a matter of course?" Aqua quickly defended.

But the messy and turning blue eyes had already fully exposed her guilty conscience.

Offering to make tea for the guests, but secretly purifying it into pure water is an insidious operation. It is obviously for the purpose of drinking!
Although the idiot goddess's mind is full of water, she has to say that she is still a little cautious when it comes to things that are beneficial to her.

Although the acting skills presented are a bit clumsy.

"That's true. King, please help me go to the wine cellar to get a few bottles of wine to entertain the guests."

After that, Lin Zhi took out the key to the wine cellar and threw it to the king not far away under Aqua's eager gaze.

If the alcoholic goddess was given the task of getting the wine, she would secretly hide a few bottles!

Just like the previous reward for overturning the navy warship and beating Zefa Akainu, it was obviously four bottles of wine, but the next day, he saw ten empty wine bottles and a rainbow all over the floor at Aqua's bedside!
"No problem." King raised his hand and took the key.

"King, you don't seem to know the location of the wine cellar yet. Let me show you the way!"

As soon as the stupid goddess stood up, a thick and powerful hand pressed her shoulder in anticipation.

Aqua turned her stiff head to look, and saw Lin Zhi's kind smile.

"Ahem, yes, that's right, you shouldn't get lost either."

She smiled and scratched her head to hide her embarrassment, and sat down obediently.

Seeing this scene, a trace of surprise flashed deep in the eyes of Mihawk across from him.

Does this blue-haired girl who looks a little abnormal really have the terrifying ability to summon a large-scale disaster like a tsunami, as rumored?
It's not as good as being famous in person. Whether it's the Water Witch or the Water Goddess, it seems that they can't be summarized vividly.

and also……

He looked at King who was walking away with his back to him. Even though he was wearing a loose casual shirt, he still couldn't hide the strong muscles on his back.

Mihawk was quite impressed by this "strongest combat power in the restaurant on the sea."

After all, when he was in the East China Sea, this man witnessed his own slashes and he was still calm and composed, and at the same time, his heartbeat was beating so violently that it was far beyond ordinary people.

Until now, when they meet face to face, he still can't figure out how this supposedly powerful blond man can cultivate a natural disguise full of flaws!
After experiencing Lin Zhi's power personally, this tangled doubt has been bothering him.

Unfortunately, they had just fought with their captain, so taking action at this time would really seem a bit provocative.

With this regret, Mihawk looked at the other members of the Sea Restaurant.

The pet cat known as the evil scientist, the cute girl who picked up the fish from the fish tank and choked it in one mouthful, the skeleton who was sitting in the corner playing the piano with his legs crossed...

Let alone the pirate adventure group, no matter how you look at it, this doesn't look like a serious organization.

But it is precisely such a team that even the noble Celestial Dragons in today's world dare to attack and kill.

He also escaped from the encirclement and suppression by several senior naval forces twice!
As if guided by fate, Mihawk saw some infinite possibilities in them.

"So, Mihawk, how could a man like you appear in the first half of this grand route?"

Lin Zhi noticed the subtle expression changes on Mihawk's face and asked aloud.

The sudden question interrupted Mihawk's thoughts. He glanced at Lin Zhi, who had a calm expression. He did not hide his whereabouts:
"I received a temporary summons from the World Government and was about to go to the Holy Land Marie Joa for a meeting."

Accepting the necessary summons from the World Government is an obligation that the Shichibukai, the legitimate pirate kings, should abide by.

Of course, unless it is a forced call, they can choose to ignore it.

"Oh? Are you even going to participate?" Lin Zhi asked curiously.

"I just happen to be more interested in the content of the meeting."

Mihawk picked up the tea cup in front of him, thought for a while and then put it down again. He looked into Lin Zhi's eyes and slowly added, "It was opened with the red-haired pirates who are causing trouble in the new world and your sea restaurant as the core. Meeting."

The beautiful and lyrical piano sound suddenly stopped, and Brooke, who was immersed in the music performance, stopped what he was doing.

"A meeting with us as the core, meow?" Meow's ears instantly stood up.

After this period of familiarity and adaptation, he has already understood the basic structure of the pirate world.

It is self-evident that the world government can be so aggressive in summoning the third-party power Shichibukai and holding a meeting against them.

"That's right, that's the information I received. As for the more detailed situation, we still need to go to Mary Joa to know."

Mihawk finally picked up the teacup and took a sip of pure water.

"This is very important information for us now, thank you." Lin Zhi expressed his heartfelt thanks.

With Mihawk's aloof and indifferent character, it was quite good to be able to take the initiative to mention this matter to them.

At this moment, King happened to return from the wine cellar, holding a very high-end looking red wine in his hand.

That quality can be glimpsed from the stupid goddess's blue eyes that instantly light up.

"Just think of it as a gift in return for bringing out good wine and entertaining me who showed up uninvited." Mihawk put down the teacup gracefully.

As a guy who often hangs out and drinks with red-haired Shanks, he is looking forward to the taste of red wine on the ship, which is world-famous for its restaurants at sea.

"It's almost fun to have wine but no meat. Wait a minute."

Lin Zhi stood up slowly, rolled up his sleeves and walked to the kitchen. "Let me help you, meow!"

"Kanna wants to help too!"

Meow Meow was mainly still a little bit overwhelmed by Mihawk's sharp eyes. As for Kangna, she just wanted to help from the bottom of her heart.

Well, help me eat.

Soon, delicious meat dishes were brought to the table.

With Brook playing Binx's wine, everyone started a relaxed and harmonious red wine banquet with Mihawk.

At the end, seeing that the time was almost up, Mihawk stood up to say goodbye and prepared to continue to the Holy Land Mariejoia.

Lin Zhi and others stood on the bow of the Infinite Dream, watching Mihawk gradually drive away in the broken boat.

I don't know if it was because of the many eyes on him, but this time, Mihawk did not make the price-reducing action of rowing a boat at night with a black blade, which Aqua happened to see.

Until the end, Lin Zhi did not send an invitation to Mihawk to board the ship, because that was simply impossible.

Putting aside his swordsmanship and combat prowess that are at the top of the world, Mihawk accepted the position of King Shichibukai just because he was afraid of trouble.

In the later generations when the Shichibukai system was abolished, it was also out of this consideration that he chose to become a cadre under the clown Baki's name.

He values ​​ease and ease more than fame and prestige.

This is also a manifestation of yearning for freedom.

As for Infinite Dream, from the moment it attacked the Tianlong people, it was destined to be at the forefront of the storm and become the center of the most troublesome whirlpool in this era!
Having said that, Mihawk's arrival still brought considerable benefits to Lin Zhi.

First of all, his sword skills and domineering skills have been honed in fierce battles, and he has a tendency to become more refined.

The second is the Shichibukai Conference held by the World Government.

Judging from the time and current route provided by Mihawk, when they landed in Alabasta, Crocodile, who was also a member of the Shichibukai, most likely accepted the summons and went to Mary Joa!

This is a very valuable information point, related to the entire planning of the next Alabasta operation!

Just as the Infinite Dream was heading towards Alabasta at full speed, there were windless zones on both sides of the Grand Line.

The flag of the World Government fluttered slightly, and the huge naval warship was powered by an external oar and drove quickly through this special area where there was no sea breeze.

On the deck of the warship, smoke rings rose from the lit cigars.

The man in the coat had an expressionless face, staring at the extremely calm sea ahead.

A shocking seam ran across the entire face. It was none other than Crocodile Crocodile, one of the Seven Warlords under the King!

Daz Bonis, who has the ability to kill the fruit quickly, accompanied him.

Unlike Mihawk, Crocodile chose to be picked up by the Lieutenant General of his headquarters and took a shortcut to Mariejoia.

As for why he accepted the call to temporarily leave Alabasta, the reason was very simple.

He wants to use the intelligence capabilities of the World Government to learn more about the movements of Lin Zhi and his gang, so that he can subdue them and become a cadre of the "Baroque Working Society" that will be secretly established, as his strongest thugs!
In this way, it will become easier to steal the Kingdom of Alabasta and obtain the ancient weapon Pluto's ambition to dominate the world!
Putting aside the slightly overestimating arrogance, Crocodile is still very talented in selecting people.

Whether it is MR2 who will become the new Shemale King in the future, or MR3 who will be the double MVP of Impel Down and Top War, or Nico Robin of the Straw Hats, they are all impressive characters.

It can be said that when gathered, it is a piece of shit, when scattered, it is full of stars!

It's a pity that Crocodile, who is still immersed in his ambition to dominate the world at this time, has no idea that his hometown will soon be stolen by the newcomer kid he likes!

……

The renovated Infinite Dream's navigation efficiency is really impressive. It only took one day and one night to overcome the obstruction of bad weather on the Grand Route and successfully reach the Kingdom of Alabasta!
Looking around, the entire continent is gray and yellow, except for the sky full of yellow sand, which is still full of yellow sand.

Not to mention it is as rich as other islands, there is not even a decent green plant!
The Infinite Dream docks slowly on the rocky shore.

After the curious friends stepped off the ship, under the remote control of Meow Meow, the Infinite Dream turned on submarine mode and sank into the hidden seabed little by little.

This can avoid the embarrassing situation of unguarded ships being robbed, and can also better hide their whereabouts, avoid being discovered by pirates or navy on the sea, and reduce unnecessary trouble.

As soon as the group set foot on this extremely hot land, they encountered an unexpected obstacle.

They were a group of kung fu manatees covered in tortoise shells and with muscular arms!

"Oh, where did the stupid manatees come from? Look at this menacing posture, are they not going to land until they are defeated?"

Aqua looked at the group of "cuties" standing in front of her and let out a mocking sneer.

Wang Wang Wang!
The kung fu manatees seem to understand human speech, and they are gearing up one after another and making fierce attacking gestures.

"This is a kung fu manatee that appears near the coast of Alabasta all year round. Its greatest interest is to fight with passing creatures."

Brooke, who had arrived in the Kingdom of Alabasta, was very impressed by this strange manatee and explained, "As long as you defeat them, you can become the boss who is followed loyally."

While speaking, he took a step forward with a cane and sword in hand, preparing to deal with the persistent group of manatees blocking the way.

"Brooke, just leave this bunch of stupid manatees to this goddess!"

Unexpectedly, Aqua, who has always been lazy, ran to the front first, holding the goddess staff and showing a rare look of energy.

As a sensitive water goddess, she has no resistance to Brooke's words of "the boss who is followed loyally".

Even if the opponent is just a group of kung fu manatees.

"Come on! You stupid manatees, become loyal believers who firmly believe in this goddess!"

Aqua's whole body lit up with blue light, and as she waved the goddess's staff, clear water emerged.

"Hey Aqua, it's better to use your best God's Fist." Lin Zhi reminded from behind.

"Don't look down on people, Lin Zhi, you don't need this goddess's trump card to deal with these stupid manatees!"

The proud Aqua completely ignored Lin Zhi's reminder, controlled the water flow, and strode towards the Kung Fu Manatee herd.

I mean, manatees are meant to live in the sea...

Seeing the arrogant attitude of the idiot goddess, Lin Zhi silently took back what he had not finished and entered the movie-watching mode with his friends who looked cute.

Even if he hasn't yet mastered the power of seeing and seeing the future, he can still clearly see the fate of the stupid goddess.

Sure enough, Aqua, who was completely immune to the water attack, was quickly beaten by a group of kung fu manatees with full rage. She was beaten so hard that she ran away and small pearls fell out of the corners of her eyes.

"Ahhh! Help me, Master Lin Zhi, they, how come they become stronger in the water!"

The corners of the mouths of the friends twitched, and they complained in unison: "Isn't this natural? (Meow)!" (End of Chapter)
