Chapter 805: The person is gone
...
"Ah! Ikku~!"
With the careful service of the two beauties, Captain Gel cried out in comfort.
Just as he was about to shout out the wise words "Prostitution, gambling and drugs are the most harmful to people. I will never reconcile with them in my life!", but when he looked up and saw that the world's number one gambling city was his own property, Captain Gir had to remove another word, and in the end, the only thing left was "I will never reconcile with drugs."
Gel's extremely short-sighted gaze suddenly stopped on a not-so-new "recruitment advertisement" on the newspaper pasted on his face.
"Ok?"
After thinking for a moment, he picked up the newspaper, looked up and spoke to Reiju who was standing behind him and rubbing his shoulders seriously.
"I suddenly remembered that there is a mission that is quite suitable for you to go on. However, whether you want to go or not is up to you."
"Sir, please give me your orders! As long as I can be of use, I will do my best to complete it..."
Reiju answered without hesitation.
Captain Gill waved his hand to interrupt.
"Don't rush to agree. Wait until I finish what I have to say before making a decision."
"After all, this is a long-term mission. I can't say exactly how long it will take. It could be two years, several years, or even longer!"
Reiju became a little more cautious after hearing this. She thought for a moment and then asked again.
"Then...if I accept this mission, will I be able to see you again, my Lord?"
"Forehead…"
Ge Er was also stunned. Shouldn't you want to see your family? If your old father knew that you forgot about them so quickly, he would probably cry in the toilet!
"hateful!"
Hancock gave a death stare, feeling that there was another stumbling block on her path forward.
"Hehehe."
Ger smiled to hide his embarrassment.
"This world is really big. There are countless islands and countries scattered across the vast ocean. But it's only this big, so of course we'll meet again!"
"That's good! I feel relieved then."
Reiju breathed a sigh of relief.
"It's fine. There's no need to act like you're going to die heroically. This isn't a life-and-death farewell."
Captain Gill finally got serious.
"Don't worry, since I've said that we're family from now on, this captain will never let any of our companions die!"
An inexplicable warmth welled up in Reiju's heart.
"Please tell me exactly what needs to be done! Lord Gel!"
"Don't be anxious, just listen to me first and then make a decision..."
“Blah blah blah…”
After listening to Captain Gol's narration, Reiju was surprised at first, then calm, and finally nodded seriously, with no intention of changing her mind.
"I understand! I will do my best to complete the task! I will never let you down, sir!"
"This is just an important but non-essential task. Even if you can't complete it, you can always give up halfway without any blame or punishment."
Gel waved his hand casually.
"Once you get there, someone will pick you up. You can discuss and decide on anything by yourselves. Just cooperate with us."
"Yes! Sir."
Reiju responded respectfully.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself. Your current strength is far from enough, so your first priority should be to improve your own strength."
As Gel spoke, he reached into his trouser pocket.
"Huh? Where did you go?"
"Found it! Here, this is for you."
"This is?!"
Reiju showed a puzzled look, but Captain Gol simply threw the devil fruit in his hand away.
"Snapped!"
Reiju subconsciously reached out to catch it.
"You are good at using poison, this devil fruit should be suitable for you."
After hearing what Captain Gul said, Reiju also began to look at the devil fruit in her hand that looked like a skull.
The appearance of this devil fruit is obviously related to poison. She can already feel the instinctive desire in her body. As the "biochemical mother", Reiju cannot resist this temptation at all. She can't help but stick out her tongue and lick her lips greedily.
"Thank you, sir. I will definitely improve my strength as soon as possible and will definitely not affect the implementation of your plan!"
"Well! I believe you will not let me down. Go down and have a rest. We can set off again when everything is ready."
Gol stood up and patted Reiju's shoulder.
"Sir, before we set off, I have a request that I hope you can agree to."
"Oh? What's your request? Just tell me. There's no need to be so polite. I'll do my best to help if I can."
If you want the horse to run, you have to feed Marco first, Captain Gel knows this well.
"I wish to see my family, Lord Gher."
"Oh, no problem. This is easy. It's not even a request. They're on the ship. You can go find them anytime."
Gel said casually.
"No, besides my father, Ijiniji, and Yuji, I also have a younger brother."
"Actually, Blackfoot Sanji from the Straw Hat Pirates is also my brother."
"Except for the captain, the other members of the Straw Hat Pirates have completely disappeared since arriving at the Golden City. Now it seems that my brother Sanji should have been left here as well? If he is still alive..."
Reiju said this and slowly raised her head to look at Gel, trying to read something from his eyes, but she was afraid to see Captain Gel's regretful expression.
"Hahaha, you're talking about Sanji..."
Gel smiled, and Reiju just breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Captain Gel continue.
"He's gone."
?
"Ah? What? Gone! How could it be…"
Reiju's pupils trembled violently.
Even if she was mentally prepared, a group of rookie pirates who hadn't even grown hair yet dared to come to the Golden City to cause trouble, weren't they courting death? But when she heard the result from Gol's mouth, she couldn't help but be surprised.
"Really? That's a pity. After so many years, I was thinking of taking this opportunity to meet you."
Reiju took a few deep breaths before she regained her composure and continued speaking calmly.
"Don't you blame me?"
Ger asked caringly.
"No! You may lose your life at any time. This is the most basic common sense and awareness that a pirate should have..."
"So, that was the path he chose himself... Don't blame others..."
Reiju is so rational that she is a little ruthless.
"Hahaha, I meant he's not in the Golden City. I didn't say he's dead."
Gelpi was very happy.
"Really? That's great. Where is Sanji now? Can I meet him? Lord Ger!"
Reiju asked anxiously without bothering to condemn Captain Gol for deliberately speaking and breathing heavily.
"The person is indeed still alive, but I guess he might not want to see his family right now. No! Not just his family, he doesn't want to see anyone he knows, ahahaha~"
As Gel spoke, he couldn't help laughing, while Reiju's face was full of confusion.
