On the dock, many crew members were watching this farce with laughter, including Roger, Dark King Rayleigh, Scopper Gaban and others.
"What?!"
Although he didn't know where the little kid who suddenly appeared in front of him got the name of his uncle Buggy, it didn't stop him from expressing his dissatisfaction with this kind of familiarity.
"Do I know you? You just come up and ignore me~"
As he turned red and warm, he imitated Ronan's smile and opened his mouth. Buggy's performance was very vivid and made Shanks next to him laugh out loud.
The companions next to them couldn't help but hug each other's necks and laugh heartily.
"Don't say that, Buggy!"
Ronan was also a thick-skinned person. Facing a ship full of top masters from the New World, he didn't show any sign of stage fright. He still had a smile on his face: "My Observation Haki won't lie. We will definitely become good friends in the future."
Ronan has long black hair that reaches almost to his waist. Although his face is still a little childish, it is still easy to see that he is handsome. The smile on his mouth is very contagious.
His upper body was bare, with some faint scars and muscle lines, simple military pants and boots, no extra accessories, at most the luggage on his shoulders.
When the deputy captain Dark King Rayleigh heard this, his narrow eyes narrowed.
"You've awakened your Observation Haki at such a young age? It seems like it's a very special kind."
"Like, Redfield?"
Roger found it interesting and joined in the conversation. He walked over, put his hands on the edge of the boat, looked at the long-haired kid on the dock, and said with a smile:
"Hey! Kid, what are you doing here?"
"That's to join you, of course!"
Ronan, who knew the personalities of these top masters very well, smiled and said,
Please call him: Succubus of the Sea Ronan!
"Kid, why do you have to board our ship?" The man who hid the great secret treasure at the end of the ocean, the Pirate King Gol D. Roger, asked Ronan in front of him with a smile.
For this question, Ronan happens to know a standard answer:
"Hahahahahaha... Of course, that's to turn the world upside down!"
"Hahahahahahaha!!!!!"
Hearing Ronan say this with a childish face, Roger and Rayleigh were stunned at first, then looked at each other and laughed out loud together.
Both of them thought of the scene when they just met, which was also the original reason for the establishment of Roger's pirate group.
They saw themselves in this young man.
"Hahahahaha, if you are not afraid of death, then go on board!" Roger was a casual person. He agreed to Ronan's request just by liking him.
Rayleigh rarely raised any questions, but allowed the captain to act arbitrarily.
But Scopper Gaban and the others beside him didn't quite understand. They still felt it was a bit sudden: "Hey, Captain, our ship is about to become a ghost infirmary."
"There's really nothing we can do about having a willful captain~" Some crew members spread their hands, expressing helplessness and acceptance.
In Roger's pirate group, all crew members have the same consensus.
That is, they can laugh and joke around casually, drink and play, but once the captain makes an order or decision, the crew must agree unconditionally.
And this is also Roger's personal charm.
Looking at this scene, Ronan thought to himself, he is indeed the man who has captivated Shiki the Golden Lion, his charisma is beyond words.
that's all,
Ronan successfully boarded the Pirate King's ship as a trainee.
Zeke, who used to be a subordinate of Rocks D. Xebec, had just returned home after his group was defeated by Roger and others and now returned to his hometown to serve as the mayor.
He is still dreaming of training a monster like Whitebeard and Captain Shiki the Golden Lion to lead him to success.
Seeing the house that looked like it had been robbed and the note on the table, he fell silent, and then burst out in silence:
"Roger I *****"
…
Ronan looked at the gradually receding coastline. There seemed to be a figure jumping up and down on the beach.
Even though his natural Observation Haki wasn't far enough away, with his excellent eyesight, Ronan could still roughly tell that it seemed to be the figure of the old mayor.
"oi! Goodbye, I'll take care of myself!"
Ronan looked at the old man who was jumping and skipping to see him off, and thought that he was reluctant to let him go. He also waved his arms vigorously, with tears in his eyes.
After all, they have been together day and night for nine years, so even if they have a dog, they should have feelings for it.
"You're usually so strict, but you finally showed some tenderness just as I was leaving... You old man..."
Ronan's actions attracted the attention of Shanks and Buggy. The two looked at Ronan who seemed a little sad. As fellow interns, they came over and patted Ronan's shoulders.
"Don't be sad, we will be your family and brothers from now on!" Shanks smiled sincerely.
"How can a man on the sea cry so easily, you guys..." Buggy had a sharp tongue but a soft heart, comforting her in a roundabout way.
Only Rayleigh, who was drinking beside him, twitched his mouth slightly and looked at the "Three Young Pirates" with a strange look.
After thinking about it, I still didn't complain.
With his ability to cross the doldrums without getting lost, it was not difficult for him to sense what the old man on the shore was shouting. The general content was:
"Damn Roger, you killed someone without even chasing him down, I'm so s***..."
It seems like there is something else going on about someone's mother.
But after all, they were the family members of the new crew members, so Rayleigh couldn't take any action and just pretended he didn't hear anything.
"Roger, you bastard, damn it... Hey! Ronan, remember to wear a coat next time, don't catch a cold!!!"
Zeke shouted loudly with gritted teeth, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and watched Oro Jackson disappear into the sunset.
The sun and the moon rotate, the sea breeze caresses,
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed.
To be honest, even with mental preparation, life at sea was still more boring than Ronan had originally expected.
The endless blue sea, the sea kings that occasionally surfaced and were lulled to sleep by the Conqueror's Haki on the boat, the endless banquets and endless cleaning,
If it weren't for the two friends who could chat and amuse him, Ronan felt that he really might not be able to bear it.
"Hey, Ronan, why are you slacking off again? And lying on my bed!"
The cabin door was suddenly kicked open.
Buggy, who had just finished cleaning the deck, rushed in, grabbed Ronan's collar, and shouted angrily with sharp teeth.
"Don't be so serious, Buggy, can't I just give you some hard work money?"
Ronan, who was being shaken by the collar, didn't mind Buggy's attitude at all. Instead, he took out a few berries from his pocket and stuffed them into Buggy's pocket with a smile.
Seeing Buggy's greed for money, Ronan also straightened his collar. Buggy was probably the only pirate on the ship who looked like a real pirate, greedy, cunning, and loyal.
Ronan only needs to pay a little money each time to appease Buggy.
This way he can sleep in occasionally.
At this moment, a young voice sounded from outside the house:
"Ronan, Buggy! Come out and practice!"
