Chapter 78 Cat Eats Fish Fish Eats Cat (Seeking 5-star review)
...
So the next schedule is that Moria and Weevil will follow Donli and Broki to learn the Spear of Elbaf.
Although Ajin, Bia and Senior were unable to follow along in their studies, they did not fall behind in their own training. Fortunately, there were quite a few powerful dinosaurs and wild beasts on the island that could serve as their training opponents.
Ajin has already initially awakened his observation ability, and now he is blindfolded when torturing dinosaurs.
Fanny was still stroking Xiaobai while recording what she saw and heard on each island in her logbook, and then carefully attached beautiful photos. When she had free time, she would also do sketches and draw some beautiful paintings, which she would frame and hang in various places on the boat as decorations. Although she did not train to exhaustion every day like the others, she felt that such days were also very fulfilling.
Mosan studies finance and Fate delves into cooking, but food is a common topic for both of them. Recently, Mosan has been frequently going to Fate to try new dishes. He cooks for himself every day, but he is getting thinner and thinner.
Gel didn't notice the problem at first, but later he realized that the two brothers saw the young people on the ship training hard and their strength improved by leaps and bounds, so the two old men became anxious.
For the sake of men's damn desire to win, they felt that if they didn't work harder, they would become the weakest duo on the ship.
Especially as Fate watched his daughter grow up, he suddenly felt a sense of midlife crisis, so the two of them privately found Captain Gill, hoping to help him develop a training plan. After that, they pretended to discuss food every day, but in fact they secretly hid away to practice more.
In this way, everyone on the ship found something to keep themselves busy, and only Gel was left with nothing to do.
"Ahhh, what a headache!"
Gel looked at the two identical recording pointers in his hands, scratched his head and complained to himself.
The two recording pointers in his hand, one is from his original ship, and the other is seized from the pirate ship after Gel, Ajin and Senior were patrolling near the island yesterday and discovered and killed a group of pirates.
Unfortunately, according to what the pirates said before they died, they had just arrived here not long ago, only a few days earlier than Gel and his crew, so the recording pointer still has to wait nearly a year before it can store the magnetic field of the next island. Simply put, it's useless.
"Oh damn, do I really have to stay here for a year?"
Gel thought about it and shook his head to reject it. It had only been a few days and he was already tired of the game. He had the potential to become a scumbag.
He thought that after Moria and Weevil learned the Spear of Elbaf, it would be a waste of time to stay here. What's more, he was still obsessed with the gold on Sky Island. Although he knew that the gold would still be there when the Straw Hat Pirates went to Sky Island in 20 years, and Gol didn't have to worry about it being taken away now, his mother always said that it was better to put the money in the pocket, and Gol always listened to his mother.
While daydreaming, Gel saw a dead leaf floating on the water with a beetle on it. The leaf looked like a small boat carrying the little beetle to sail on the sea. Gel thought it was quite interesting and kept his eyes on it for a few more seconds.
"Bang bang~"
Suddenly, a big fish jumped out of the water, opened its mouth wide and swallowed the boat and the worms into its stomach in one gulp.
At that moment, Gel's head felt like it was electrocuted.
He stood up quickly. The scene that just happened reminded him of something - the island-eating monster! !
It's the giant goldfish that lurks near the island, eating up the island and swallowing passing ships!
"Yeah! How could I forget about that guy! That goldfish has swallowed countless ships, maybe we can find the recorded pointer in its stomach!"
Gel clenched his right fist and hammered the palm of his left hand. The more he thought about it, the more feasible it seemed.
Hehe, that's right! Maybe you can find a lot of gold treasures besides recording pointers!
He did what he said. Since everyone else was busy training, Ger went straight back to the ship and headed straight for the medical room.
If you want to explore the belly of the big fish, you must ask Kurokas for help. You know, Kurokas is the one who can build a holiday island in the belly of Labu. He is definitely a professional in this area.
"Bang bang bang!"
Hearing someone knocking on the door, Kulokas, who was reading a book, said without even looking up:
"The door is unlocked, please come in!"
"Why do you have time to come to me? Is there anything I can help you with, Captain?"
"What's the matter? Can't I just come and have some tea with you?"
Gel came in with a teapot, smiling, poured a cup of hot tea for Kurokas, and then looked around the room.
The room was brightly lit. The tables and shelves on the side were filled with a wide variety of medical equipment and various medicine bottles. It was neat and clean. There were also two pots of jasmine in front of the windowsill, which was very comfortable to look at. The only problem was that the room was a little small. Moria and Weevil probably couldn't even get in the door. Gel thought that he had to go to the Seven Water City as soon as possible to change the car.
Kulokas took off his reading glasses, picked up the cup and took a sip of tea, then said:
"No one comes to visit you for no reason. I don't know you, Captain. This is your first time entering this room, right? If you have anything to say, just tell me directly."
"Nothing much, they're all in training, I'm a little bored alone, so I want you to go treasure hunting with me!"
"Treasure hunt? Where to find treasure?"
When Kurokas heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up. Geer immediately told him his thoughts, which aroused Kurokas' interest.
It's not that this old man is greedy for money, but he is simply interested in unknown adventures. With Crocus's strength and medical skills, as well as his reputation as the former Pirate King Roger's personal doctor, he can get by in any force he joins. If he was really a money-grubber, he would not choose to be an unpopular lighthouse keeper for decades.
Kulokas often chooses to stay on the ship instead of going to the island. In addition to wanting to stay at home and study medical books, it is also because he has been to these islands before and there is nothing new about them. Men are animals who like novelty.
Now, when he heard that they were going to search for treasure in the belly of the huge monster that had swallowed the island, the old man suddenly became excited and immediately took out his harpoon.
"Meow meow!"
Lab jumped onto Gel's shoulders and rubbed Gel's cheek like a spoiled child.
Kurokas grabbed the cat by the scruff of the neck and lifted Lab up, saying:
"No, no, I can't take you with me. It's no use trying to act cute with the captain. Just stay at home."
"Meow meow~"
Seeing Lab waving his front paws in resistance, Kurokas said lovingly:
"With your mediocre skills, you still want to defeat the monster? We are going to the belly of a big fish. Only cats eat fish. Who has ever heard of a fish eating a cat? It sounds unlucky. No, I can't take you."
Lab knew that he could not persuade this old father who doted on his child too much, so he could only turn to Captain Gill for help.
Although Gel did not have the ability to listen to the voices of all things, nor did he have the skill of Kurokas's Animal Friend, he was still able to understand what the cat and the man were communicating. Especially when he saw Lab's pitiful eyes, Gel's heart softened.
"Alright, alright, stop being overprotective. The young eagle needs to learn to spread its wings and fly. The flowers in the greenhouse can't stand the slightest bit of wind and rain. It's not like they're going through fire and water. It's not dangerous. If Lab wants to go, take it with you. Maybe Lab can help."
"Meow meow meow!!"
After hearing what Gel said, Laboo meowed excitedly. Gel knew without translation that Laboo must be talking to Kurokas:
"That's right! The captain is wise and brave! The captain is right!"
Kulokas couldn't stand the persuasion of the man and the cat and soon gave in. So Gel and Kulokas took Lab with them to set out on an adventure.
