Chapter 257 Water City, Gods of Water!
November, 1495 (Haiyuan Calendar).
The Grand Line, Water Seven
A giant golden eyeball fell from the clouds and hovered over Water Seven.
"Hey, is that gold?!"
"Wow!! So much gold?!"
"Quickly, inform the captain! A fat sheep has landed on the island!!"
Inside the Golden Eye, Bazel looked at Amato and his nominal student, Sal.
"Do you want to stay here or go to Qinghai to see what society is like?"
"Teacher, I want to stay and practice my punches."
Sal answered without the slightest hesitation.
Seven days ago, he used his last bit of strength to challenge Bazel, but was still easily defeated.
After that, Sal recognized reality and chose to bow to it.
Learn how to throw a punch and how to become a person with high emotional intelligence.
""
He didn't care about the second training session at all; he simply wanted to become stronger.
Bazell didn't insist.
"And you?"
Amato didn't hesitate for long: "I'll go with you to take a look. The Shandiya people will definitely be integrated into Qinghai society in the future, so it's a good thing for them to broaden their horizons now."
Before Bazel could speak, Xiong shook his head and refused: "I need to stay here to heal the wounded. That idiot Loki went too far. If they aren't healed quickly, these warriors won't be able to hold their weapons anymore!"
Loki, who had been feigning sleep, suddenly sat up and stretched. "Oh dear, I'm so hungry after just waking up! Big brother, let's go get something to eat!"
"Nora?"
Inside the spacious golden sphere, in a corner, Nora, coiled up like cow dung, was sticking out her tongue.
I'm going to sleep, I'm so full!
Bazel didn't press the matter and withdrew his hand from Nora's scales.
Ever since the Lord of the Sky chose to follow me, he has been breathing heavily through his nostrils every moment.
Bazel had no idea what the other person was inhaling.
However, there were indeed signs that the other party's life force had increased slightly.
This discovery made Bazel even more curious about what his seventh ability was.
"Loki, Amato, let's go. Bear, you're in charge of this place."
Without raising its head, the bear made an OK sign, and then a small bubble popped out of the man lying on the bed.
"Loki, remember to clean up that pile of bubbles when you come back; there's accumulated quite a few again."
"Okay, okay, anyway, that kind of pain isn't as bad as my brother slapping me. The most important thing now is to fill my stomach!"
Standing on the downward-moving platform, Loki urged Bazel to hurry up.
"Hurry, hurry, big brother! I've wanted to try the Water Seven Meat for a long time!"
"It must be incredibly delicious!!"
Below the Golden Eyes—
Water Seven is engulfed in frenzy by the arrival of the giant golden sphere.
Many pirates, underworld merchants, and agents gathered here, inquiring about information related to the Golden Ball.
"That gold piece moved!!"
-
"Someone's coming down...wait—is that a giant?"
A busybody standing on the roof of the Seven Waters City building shaded his eyes with his hand.
"They look familiar... That's strange, where have I seen those two faces before?"
"My lords!!!"
Suddenly, the crowd below parted to reveal several rusty cannons.
"fire!"
"Shoot that thing down from the sky for me, hahahahaha~~"
Behind the cannon, a tall man with a large axe on his shoulder, slender legs but a big belly and muscular arms was shouting loudly.
"I'm French, the conqueror with a bounty of 2 million Berries!"
boom-
boom--
Several cannonballs the size of human heads flew towards Golden Eyes.
But before they could get close, the golden eyes suddenly turned and looked at them as if they were real creatures.
A golden light shone down, and the shells instantly turned to gold, falling straight to the ground after losing all power.
"Wait, I remember now!"
"That man—is the top commander of the Beasts Pirates, the Calamity Bazel!!!"
Unfortunately, the screams of the onlookers were drowned out by the continuous sound of cannon fire.
"That giant wasn't an ordinary giant either. He was the giant who fought the second division commander of the Whitebeard Pirates during the great battle on Doctor's Island!"
"Loki, the Beast Catastrophe, one of the three great leaders of the Beasts Pirates!!"
"Legend has it that he can summon countless exploding beasts to kill the Beasts Pirates' enemies!"
French was still yelling for the cannons to be fired down the street below.
Suddenly.
A huge black shadow enveloped his entire body.
"Strange, is it getting dark?"
French looked up as he muttered something, only to see Loki looking down at him.
"You had a lot of fun playing, didn't you?"
"I'll let you taste what it's like to become a cannonball!"
He gripped the iron hammer tightly with both hands and swung it out like a golf ball.
"I—Ding~!"
As Loki watched his enemies transform into golden stars and disappear into the horizon, he whistled.
"Good shot! Hmm?"
Loki seemed to suddenly realize something, and looked down at his fellow pirates who were surrounding him but dared not attack.
"I'm not in the mood to fight with you bunch of trash right now. Get lost."
"etc!"
Suddenly, Loki crouched down and reached out his hand.
"Hand over all of Pele; I'm short on money for food."
"If you don't have money, I'll take your heads to the Navy branch to exchange for the bounty!"
When Bazel landed on the ground with Amato, Loki was already holding a small mountain of Baileys in his hands.
"Big brother, I've got my allowance!"
"I didn't expect those guys to be rich. I should have smashed their captain after looting them."
Bazel glanced around.
His gaze swept across the faces of the timid world government agents.
These guys in black suits, sunglasses, and hats practically had "I'm a World Government agent" written all over their faces.
"It was Bazel of the Beasts Pirates who informed Lord Hernandez to retreat."
"Contact the navy and request reinforcements!"
Hernandez Saint —
Are they Celestial Dragons?
Bazel narrowed his eyes slightly, but he had no intention of causing trouble for the Celestial Dragons.
There's just so much of that kind of trash; if you come across it, just deal with it as you go.
Besides wasting time, Bazel couldn't think of any benefit in actively seeking trouble with them.
"Amato, let's go buy some food first. Tom told me before that the 'watery meat' here is super delicious!"
Wiping the drool from the corner of his lips, Loki pulled Amato toward a nearby stall, dropping all the Berries he was holding—which were taller than the stall itself.
"You tell me!"
Amato had no choice but to step forward and buy local specialties from the trembling, mournful-looking stall owner.
At the same time, a person emerged from the rapidly dispersing crowd.
"Bazaar, Sashiburida!!"
"I never expected to run into you here! How about we grab a drink?!"
Bazel frowned and looked over: "Shiki—it's really unlucky to run into you here."
"I don't really want to take action right now, nor am I interested in drinking with you."
"That's not up to you!"
Shiki grinned and lightly tapped the ground with his right foot.
"Lion's Might—Hmm!?"
The once bustling and chaotic street suddenly returned to calm.
"Give me a break, Shiki. This is Water Seven. Do you want to destroy it?"
Suddenly, the stone brick ground at his feet bulged and deformed, forming a six-armed earth giant several meters tall next to Bazar.
"Or are you planning to play a game with me over land use rights?"
"So that's how it is, it's your snake spirit."
Shiki crossed his arms, showing no intention of drawing his sword to strike.
"You're still as troublesome as ever."
"If you don't want to fight, come have a drink with me. If you have a drink with me, I'll let this island go."
"How about it? It's a great deal, isn't it?!"
"Hehehehe~~~"
"Big brother, it's the enemy—tsk, how come it's this guy?"
Loki, carrying a pile of juicy meat back, frowned slightly: "If we fight here, this island will definitely be destroyed. Should we send him flying?"
"No, you take Amato to explore this place, and Skee and I will go have a drink."
Before leaving, Bazel patted Loki's leg, reclaiming control of the serpent spirit that had been taking over the land.
"I'm a little curious why he's here. The Celestial Dragons are also on this island, so be careful."
"----I see."
Ever since Loki approached, Shiki has been keeping a close eye on the giant.
"Ah! I remember now!"
"It's you, Loki, you crybaby! We should have met you when you were little!"
"Back when I and Rocks arrived in Elbaf, you were cleaved in two by Rocks's sword, weren't you?!"
Loki scoffed, "That's all in the past. It's a shame Rocks is dead, otherwise I would definitely challenge him!"
"I'm going to play first, bro."
Watching Loki and Amato leave, Shiki suddenly asked, "Those wings were real, weren't they? Where did you find this strange race?"
Bazel did not answer, but simply turned and walked towards the crowd in the distance.
"Are you going to drink or not? If not, get out."
Shiki didn't care and chased after him, his wooden clogs clicking on the floor.
"This is a rare treat to be alone, kid. Want to be my first mate?"
"Don't joke around, how could I possibly join the Flying Pirates!"
He randomly picked a tavern, sat by the window on the second floor, and casually pried open the bottle of ale and drank it down in one gulp.
"Shiki, why are you in Water Seven?"
"The appointed banquet is just a few months away, right? Don't tell me you're not planning to attend that grand event."
After a few loud laughs, Shiki put down the bottle.
"You ask why I'm here? Of course, it's to steal a branch from the Adam Tree!"
"Didn't you know? A mysterious person somehow obtained a branch of the Adam Tree and is preparing to auction it off in Water Seven. My ship will come in handy!"
"Of course I came to join in the fun!"
The branches of Adam's Tree?
Upon hearing Shiki mention this thing, Bazel immediately guessed the Celestial Dragon's purpose in coming here.
"We've really come at the worst possible time. You know the Celestial Dragons are here, right?"
Shiki leaned back in his chair, took a few big gulps of ale, and said nonchalantly, "That trash, I ran into him yesterday, but I didn't lay a hand on him."
Are you interested in the Celestial Dragons?
"If you kill them, watch out, the navy might be knocking on your door."
"Garp ate the Rumble-Rumble Fruit, so you'll have to rely on your luck to escape."
"You don't need to tell me that; we just had a fight with him a while ago."
After lightly clinking the bottle of wine that Shiki handed him, Bazel brought up his recent loss to Garp as a topic of conversation.
"Pfft~!"
Shiki slammed his fist on the table and burst into laughter.
"So you've finally met your match. But Garp's strength is indeed quite impressive now."
"Even I wouldn't dare say I'm 100% sure I can beat that guy!"
Just as Bazel opened his lips, about to say something, a piercing mechanical whistle suddenly came from outside.
"This is----"
Shiki was taken aback at first, then revealed a gloating smile: "It's an alarm from Akula Ragnar, the god of water. Water Seven is attacked by the raging sea every year."
"If they survive, the people here will reap a huge harvest of seafood and high-quality sea salt, enough for them to make a fortune afterward."
"But I've heard that the situation in Water City is getting worse year by year, and this sea area is becoming more and more ferocious."
"Judging from this trend, the Seven Waters Championship might become history this year!"
"The people who live here are really unlucky, hahahaha~~!"
