Chapter 42 Goodbye Rab
Grand Route Entrance
Twin Gorges
"Haha! You're finally back!"
At the bow, Gel looked around and didn't find the familiar figure, so he put his index finger and thumb to his mouth!
"Beep~"
A clear and long whistle sounded, and it was soon responded to.
"Wang Wang!"
"Huh? Something's coming!"
Ajin stood on tiptoe and lay on the side of the boat, looking in the direction where the sound came from.
Bi Ya blinked her big eyes and took the opportunity to show off:
"My friends are coming. Jin, don't get scared later!"
"Impossible, absolutely impossible, I won't be scared!"
Ajin answered confidently.
He has recently been undergoing practical training involving blood and fire, life and death. After this period of training, not only has Ajin's strength improved rapidly, but he has also become more mature, stable and reliable.
In broad daylight, he absolutely did not believe that anything could scare him!
"Wang Wang!"
"Ada and Er! Over here! Over here!"
Bi Ya stood at the front and waved his hands like a traffic policeman directing traffic.
A Da and A Er rushed to the front of the boat as if they were competing. They were about to hit the hull. Suddenly, the two dogs slammed on the brakes. Then, two huge dog heads were seen sticking out of the boat and rubbing Gel's hands affectionately. Even if they had more courage, they would not dare to really hit the boat.
Bi Ya also ran up, hugged the cute dog's head and stroked it, while calling out to the little brother behind him:
"Ah Jin! Come here quickly, what are you still daydreaming about?"
"coming."
Ah Jin agreed and walked forward calmly, feeling proud in his heart:
That's it?
Biya still underestimates me. I am a man who has experienced life and death. How could I be scared by just two dog-headed sea beasts!
"Pfft!"
Suddenly, a huge column of water shot up into the sky from the sea ahead and spread out at a height of a hundred meters, looking like a huge fountain.
On a sunny day, the mist in the air refracts the sunlight, forming a beautiful rainbow in the sky.
"what!"
Ajin was startled by the sudden loud spray of water and subconsciously took two steps back.
"Wow! So beautiful!"
Fanny hurried out of the cabin, took out her camera, and took a picture of the water column and the rainbow in the sky before it disappeared.
Gel held onto Bia and held open his coat to block the falling water.
"Hehehehe! Hold on tight! There's a big guy coming!"
Moria, who had already initially awakened his Observation Haki, reminded everyone with a smile.
Suddenly, a huge black shadow appeared right under the hull and was slowly getting bigger.
"Ahh! What is this?!"
Mosan hurriedly stretched out his right hand and hugged the pillar beside him, while his left hand tightly held Funi.
"Crash!"
The black shadow finally surfaced and the boat began to shake. Soon the entire boat completely left the water and was carried on the back of the monster below.
This huge monster is the island whale - Lab.
"Wow, what the hell is this? It's so huge!"
Ajin nervously took out his dagger and prepared for battle, but looking at the monster hundreds of meters below him, he didn't know where to start.
"Don't be afraid, Jin! This is Lab! We are being lifted up! Wow, Lab is so powerful!"
Bi Ya screamed with excitement.
A Da and A Er were also lifted out of the water. They clapped their front flippers happily. It was obvious that they had become familiar with Lab after spending some time together and were no longer afraid of being eaten.
The two fur seals slid down Lab's back smoothly and dived into the water, having a lot of fun as if they were on a slide.
The corner of Geer's mouth twitched. If the boat accidentally slipped like this, wouldn't it be smashed to pieces? He hurriedly shouted:
"Lab! Lab! Stop playing and let us go!"
"Yiyi!"
After Lab shouted twice, he dived down obediently and put the boat back to the surface of the sea. Everyone then breathed a sigh of relief.
When Laboo resurfaced from the water, the people who had not seen Laboo yet could see clearly that the monster that had just interacted with them was actually a huge whale.
"Everyone, this is Rab, and he's our partner."
Gel turned around and introduced the people on the boat.
"How is it, isn't it Taiku!"
"Yiyi!"
Lab was praised by Geer, and he was so excited that he started making trouble again.
Everyone on the boat nodded in agreement. With that size, wouldn't it be cool to take it out for a stroll?
"You're finally back, little brat. What took you so long?"
Kurokas climbed onto the boat at some point and stood at the bow, wringing the seawater out of his clothes while speaking.
"Hey! There are a lot of new faces. Are they all tricked into coming aboard by you?"
"Haha, look at what you are saying, what do you mean by deceiving? Couldn't you be attracted by my personal charm?"
Ger said with a smile, then walked up and handed Kurokas a bottle of wine.
"What? Are you going to cover my mouth with something?"
Kurokas was not polite to Gel. He took the wine and opened the bottle and took a sip.
"Wow! What a great wine! It looks like you've made a fortune. I've never tasted such high-end wine!"
Gel did not answer, and said calmly:
"Roger left the execution stand with a smile on his face."
Upon hearing this, Kurokas did not speak for the first time. He silently picked up the wine and drank two more sips. After a long while, he smiled and said:
"Hahaha, what a pity, what's the point of being the Pirate King? Even the Pirate King Roger doesn't have the fortune to drink such good wine! You don't know how much that guy likes to drink, his body is almost broken and I asked him to drink less but he just wouldn't listen. I was saving his life but it seems like he wanted his life, isn't that infuriating?"
The old man was reminiscing about the past, muttering to himself.
"He's already old and has no self-awareness at all, and he still needs me to keep an eye on him all the time. If he gets a taste of this wine before he dies, he'll definitely be out of control. That old bastard will have to live at least a year or two less, hahahaha!"
After saying this, Kurokas started laughing to himself, and Gel also laughed along with him.
Just smiling, Kurokas secretly turned his head and wiped his eyes.
...
"Thank you for the wine, Captain Gill!"
"Well, we're one family, no need to be polite. If you want to drink, tell me. I'll give you as much as you want!"
Gel patted Kurokas's shoulder and smiled.
Upon hearing this, Kurokas's expression immediately turned from gloomy to cheerful, and he said cheerfully:
"That's what you said yourself, Captain Gill. Can you please give me another bottle first?"
Gel complained in his heart:
You still have the mouth to talk about others? Can't you even hear the polite words? I think you, old bastard, have no self-awareness at all.
