Chapter 161 Cherish Life and Stay Away from Gambling (Seeking 5-star Review)
Gel happily walked along the flight path of the Barrett with Moria. Moria was still holding the video recorder and recording seriously. After all, they would be teammates in the future, and it was quite fun to have some dirty laundry in hand so that they could use it to make fun of it when necessary.
When the two men found Barrett, he was lying on the ground with his arms and legs spread out, staring blankly at the clouds in the sky, not knowing what he was thinking.
Maybe he is realizing that we should cherish life and stay away from gambling!
I've completely lost it.
After a long while, Barrett's eyes regained focus. He slowly turned his head to look at Gir and asked:
"Why? Why do you know this trick?"
"Want to learn? I'll teach you."
In order to appear more presentable, Captain Gel had long put away the smug look on his face that he had when talking to Moria along the way. At this moment, Captain Gel put his hands in his pockets, his long black hair dancing in the wind, and his calm smile showed the demeanor of a master!
Barrett was stunned for a moment, staring at the tall and majestic Captain Gill, then suddenly he grinned and laughed out loud. Tears came out of the corners of his eyes but he didn't stop. His hearty laughter echoed throughout the universe.
Patience is the key to life.
Gel didn't stop him. He just stood beside him, lit a cigarette and smoked it slowly. However, no matter how slowly he smoked, with Gel's current lung capacity, the cigarette would be gone in one puff.
"Okay! Please teach me!"
Barrett stopped laughing and spoke solemnly.
The scene in which Zoro knelt down and begged Hawkeye to teach him swordsmanship suddenly emerged in Gur's mind. He thought to himself, "You kid, you don't want to learn the sword technique and use it to beat me, do you?"
"Qi!"
Gel squatted down, pressed the cigarette butt into the ground, looked directly into Barrett's green pupils with a smile on his face and said:
"It's okay for me to teach you, but according to the agreement, what should you call me now?"
"Forehead.."
Barrett was stuck for a moment, and said awkwardly:
"I can abide by the agreement and follow your orders from now on, but I have one request..."
"No, you didn't."
"Your life now belongs to me, and you have lost your human rights, so you are not qualified to make any demands!"
Gel interrupted ruthlessly, then changed the subject and continued:
"But as a captain, I have always been very tolerant of my crew members. I can allow you to make a request as a partner, but it depends on the specific content. I may not agree to it."
People like Barrett basically won't go back on their word. As long as an agreement is made, he will definitely abide by it. Moreover, his ambition is to pursue the ultimate force. Even if he wants to defeat Gol, he will challenge him openly. It will be meaningful to let Gol fight in his strongest state after merging, rather than launching a sneak attack. Only such a person will Gol dare to keep him by his side.
If you were a real pirate like Xiao Hei who has no principles and no bottom line and will do anything to achieve his goal, Gol wouldn't dare to keep you, let alone call you daddy or grandpa. You can't guarantee that one day he will stab you in the heart and say, "Captain! People's dreams will never end!"
But then again, in order to tame such a ferocious beast, it is necessary for Gel to make the principles clear first.
Barrett gritted his teeth and said:
"Ship, Captain! I hope I can go first against a powerful enemy in the future! I need more battles to improve my strength! Becoming the strongest in the world is the only goal I will never change!"
kindness?
What kind of request is this?
There are actually employees who actively request to work overtime?
Gel opened his mouth in some surprise and turned to look at Moria. After the two looked at each other, they both tried hard not to laugh out loud. They couldn't laugh at other people's ambitions.
"Ahem, alright, although your request is a bit excessive, after all, there are so many people on the ship, and it's a rare opportunity to fight against a strong man, so usually they have to line up. But seeing that you are so sincere, this captain will make an exception and agree to your request! In the future, when we encounter a difficult situation, I will let you go first."
Barrett looked grateful.
"Hey, then, welcome aboard! Douglas Barrett!"
Ger extended his hand formally with a smile on his face.
Barrett hesitated for a second, and stretched out his right hand somewhat embarrassedly. Gel grabbed it and pulled him up from the ground.
"Okay, we are all brothers from now on. You don't have to worry too much about the bet, Xiaoba. I believe you are a man who keeps his promises. At the same time, I guarantee it with my life. You can trust every partner on the ship. No one will betray their companions!"
Gel held Barrett's hand and spoke seriously.
"Finally! Congratulations on successfully finding the right organization. From now on, you don't have to worry about being betrayed by your companions!"
Ger said, patting his thick shoulder.
"I, I understand! Captain."
The sudden lyricism made the iron man Barrett a little overwhelmed. He could only nod and turned his face away in embarrassment, but he was still very touched in his heart. After all, no one had ever treated him so warmly. Even on Roger's ship, the other crew members called him a monster all the time and kept their distance from him.
"Hehehe, welcome to join! My name is Moonlight Moria, just call me Moria Senior~!"
"Senior? Let's talk some other day!"
Barrett looked at Moria's sturdy figure and the dark aura around him, and an eager expression appeared on his face.
Of course Moria would not back down, and the two of them immediately started to make plans to fight in private. Moria didn't have a chance to fight today, but he had been watching from the side and was itching to fight. He was no longer satisfied with being beaten by Weeble alone.
"Hehehehe!"
"Shhh, Lao Mo, remember to save the video."
"Ah, yes boss!"
Looking at the smiling Moria, Gel on the side raised his eyebrows and reminded him in a low voice that this was precious video material, and maybe when he was old he could show it to everyone for fun.
Moria had already planned this and secretly made an OK gesture to Captain Gul.
"Hahaha! Let's go, let's go. A new companion has joined us today. Let's go back and have a party!"
Gel pulled Barrett and wanted to walk towards the direction where the ship was docked.
"Boss, that female marine is still lying on the ground over there!"
Captain Gol was so happy to have a good brother that he almost forgot about throwing the beautiful navy girl Gion into the black box. Fortunately, Moria reminded him.
"Captain, are we also in the navy?"
Barrett asked. Although his identity didn't matter to him now, he still wanted to know.
"No, we are free adventurers. We just cooperate with the navy and help out occasionally. You can't keep your pirate identity anymore. From now on, you will also be a free adventurer."
"I understand, but I do have a bounty on me. The bounty is 4 million berries. The Navy and the World Government won't care if I'm a pirate or not, so it might cause some trouble."
"Uh, it's okay. Your joining us will not be exposed for the time being. I will find a way to deal with the bounty. Even if the World Government wants to cause trouble for us now, they need to think carefully about it, hahaha."
The current lineup consists of the three giants of Weeble, Moria and Barrett. The older ones have Kurokas to back them up, and the younger ones like Akin, Senior and others are slowly developing. Captain Geller feels that his wings have grown hard and even his walking seems a little floating.
"Hehehehe! The boss is right!"
"Hehehehe!"
The three of them walked back, talking and laughing.
