Chapter 32 Group Name X Flag X Route (2 in 1)

Chapter 32 Group Name X Flag X Route (2 in 1)

The current heading towards the top of the Upside-Down Mountain is very fast, and it is also the first challenge for the pirates before entering the great channel.

At this entrance, more than half of the pirates and ships are buried here every year.

The importance of the helmsman is self-evident in order to resist the turbulent seaward current.

Jim was the helmsman on the ship, and he had never been exposed to any information about the helmsman before boarding the ship.

But he mastered the job in just one month.

What he relies on is his strength and foundation.

Despite this, it is also very thrilling when crossing the Upside Down Mountain.

Maud breathed a sigh of relief when the mast boat successfully climbed over.

If the boat capsized, he and Lafayette could keep everyone safe, but the mass of Baileys on the boat would be over.

That's the money they're going to use in exchange for a good boat.

Fortunately everything went well.

The mast boat swept down the current to the lower sea, and the wind blew away behind it with gusts of water.

"After this, it is the great channel..."

Facing the blowing cold wind, Maud silently looked at the calm sea in the distance.

The most beautiful things in the world that can be pursued are all in the great ocean ahead that surrounds the world.

As long as step by step towards the heights, money, women, power, power...

Anything you want is available at your fingertips.

And what Maud wants most is the power to stand tall and not fall.

Only with a strong enough power can he be like the towering red earth continent behind him, and he will not be shaken by any foreign objects.

Maud looked ahead.

So are others.

"The first step towards the top."

“Delicious stuff!”

"Destroy everything that is high above.

"

"Countless perfect ingredients..."

Following the downward current, the mast boat successfully crossed the seaway and came to the exit of Twin Points.

It is located at the end of the ocean current and seaway. On the left and right capes, there is a lighthouse building with the same appearance.

That's why it is called the Twin Capes.

However, the lighthouse doesn't really mean much here.

On the rocky floor below one of the lighthouses, there is a small round table and sun loungers.

An old man with glasses and a floral shirt sat on a sun lounger with his eyes closed and a glass of cold water and a folded newspaper on a round table beside him.

The old man's name is Kolokas, who used to be the ship doctor of the Roger Pirates, and now his identity is the lighthouse keeper of Twin Points.

At the same time, he is also a doctor who cares for Rabu the whale.

Kurokas opened his eyes and glanced at the mast ship that had just passed the Upside-Down Mountain.

Above the mast, there was no pirate flag in sight.

"It's not a pirate ship, but it's quite rare, and..."

Kurokas quietly used his knowledge, and passed over Maud and others on the mast boat like fluff.

Strength is not bad.

Kurokas thought silently.

Being swept away by the sight and hearing, Jim and Bailey didn't respond, but Maud, Lafayette, and Jaya noticed.

"That old man should be Kurokas, right?" Jaya whispered.

"Um."

Maud nodded.

"Lafayette, pull the boat over, Jim, and get two barrels of wine out of the storage room."

Hearing Maud's order, Lafayette and Jim acted immediately.

The mast boat slowly leaned towards the rocky ground below the lighthouse.

Such a movement, since he was seen by Kurokas, he straightened his upper body slightly and squinted at Maud on the mast boat.

"This kid looks familiar."

Kurokas thought for a while, then glanced at the folded newspaper on the table.

"Yes, I saw a report on this kid in the newspaper some time ago. It seems that it is called Bacardi Maud..."

Under the watchful eye of Kurokas, the mast ship came to a stop.

wow.

Jim threw the anchor hanging near the bow into the sea, and immediately picked up the barrel.

Led by Maud, a group of people came to Kurokas.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing Maud and his party coming straight to the front, Kurokas straightened his upper body with a serious expression, like a general in front of the battle, emitting an awe-inspiring aura.

Jaya looked at the momentum that Kurokas was brewing, and couldn't help but slightly opened his eyes, revealing an amber luster.

As expected of an old man who had been on the same boat as Jabba, just by the sharpness in this calm, he could tell that he was not an ordinary person.

"Hohoho."

Lafayette naturally leaned on the crutches in front of him.

Maud motioned for Jim to put the wine down, then looked at Chlokas and smiled, "We heard Thor and Jabba mention you."

"Oh?"

Hearing the name of an acquaintance, Kurokas couldn't help raising his eyebrows.

In addition to the accident, he breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand and patted his chest lightly, and said seriously: "I thought you were here to find fault, and I was so scared that I was about to have a heart attack."

The awe-inspiring aura that was released instantly collapsed.

"..." Jaya closed her eyes silently.

"..." Lafayette put the cane behind him without a trace.

After a few minutes.

There are a few more cups and a plate of salted dried meat on the round table.

"I really didn't expect it."

Kurokas held a glass of wine in his hand and looked at Maud and Jaya carefully.

He didn't expect that Sol and Jabba would have trained two juniors, and they still went to sea on the same boat.

Seeing this scene with my own eyes is obviously something to be happy about.

"However, you guys are really arbitrary, neither naming the pirate group nor determining the pirate flag, so you just climbed the Upside Down Mountain and came here."

Kurokas put down his glass and looked at the mast ship that was docked.

After staying here for so many years, this is the first time he has seen a pirate group like Maud.

Lafayette couldn't help looking at Maud when he heard Kurokas's words.

This is actually what Lafayette has always wanted to say.

It was obviously a pirate group, but not only did they have no flags, but they didn't even take the group name.

Maud really didn't care much about this aspect. Originally, he planned to wait for the ship to be changed before deciding on these matters, but the change of ship seems to be impossible in a short period of time.

Aware of Lafayette's gaze, Maud smiled, always feeling a little sorry for Lafayette.

"Otherwise, let's finalize these today."

"it is good."

Lafayette responded immediately.

As for Jayajim and the others, there was no special reaction.

Chlokas glanced at Maud and was filled with emotion.

This has offered a reward of 100 million, but the basic ceremony for the establishment of the pirate group has not been completed.

It's really a life, and all kinds of miracles can happen.

Maud thought for a while and suggested, "How about calling the Raven Pirates?"

Lafayette, who was excited for less than two seconds, suddenly drooped his eyelids and looked a little exhausted.

Jaya's face showed a look of thought, and then he suddenly looked at the flintlock gun that was also named Dark Crow on Maud.

Jim nibbled at the meat, and didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with the name.

"Good name!"

Bailey showed his thumb, but he had already complained dozens of times in his heart.

Maud directly excluded the pompous Bailey, and then watched the reaction of the rest.

"Isn't that a good name?"

"Change it."

Lafayette was exhausted.

Maud nodded and said, "Then Ye Crow?"

"..."

"Isn't it okay, or what about the jackdaws?"

"..."

"Where's the black crow?"

"???"

Just under a minute.

Maud even took more than a dozen names, but he was not very satisfied with the results. He concluded: "Alas, why is it so difficult to choose a name?"

It was quiet inside.

Kurokas couldn't see it, and said in the capacity of a past person: "Think of things a little simpler, and you will find that many things are actually not difficult."

"Is it simpler..."

Maud muttered to himself, and inspiration came immediately.

"Yes, then just use my name to name it."

"Maud Pirates?"

Lafayette didn't want to suffer like this anymore, and was the first to raise his hands in approval.

then.

With Lafayette taking the lead, the name of the pirate group was settled.

After that, it is to design a pirate flag, and then officially set sail from here.

There was no material for making flags on the ship, but Kulokas had it, which saved a lot of trouble.

"In the case of the pirate flag, the back is crossed with swords and guns, and there can be bloodstains on the skull to add a little chill."

Maud said the design ideas.

People have no opinion.

but,

Who will paint it?

Everyone looked at each other for a few seconds.

Maud suggested: "Come and try."

ten minutes later.

There are several more horrific pirate flags on the ground.

"Sister Ya, you... it looks like a kitchen knife."

"Ah, it's like this when you draw and draw."

"..."

"Lafayette, aren't all nautical charts about straight and clear lines? How can you draw so abstract."

"Hohoho."

"..."

"Bailey, go away and don't waste materials."

"???"

"Senior Kurokas, I can understand your desire to be entertained, but why are there two flowers in the eyes of the skull..."

"It's a manifestation of temperament, like the peacock flower on my head."

"..."

Maud directly eliminated their works and patted his own pirate flag on the table instead.

"You take a good look at it, this is called a painting."

Lafayette and a few people came over to take a look.

"It's crooked."

Almost unanimous rating.

Overall, Maud's flag is decent, but the horizontal line of the skull is obviously wrong, and it is tilted to one side.

"It's okay, just use it like this."

"So casual!?"

Kurokas looked at Maud in surprise.

At this moment, he saw a new height in Maud.

Lafayette has no problem this time, after all, the flag drawn by Maud is the one that is most pleasing to the eye.

"Jim hasn't painted yet?"

Bailey suddenly spoke, attracting the attention of Maud.

"Jim, come and paint."

Maud looked at Jim who was constantly eating jerky.

Hearing Maud's words, Jim got up and walked to another table with paints and fabrics.

Bailey watched Jim leave and laughed a few times in his heart.

He also wanted to draw a pirate flag by hand, but he was kicked out by Maud in a very inhumane way.

He thought to himself that since he couldn't participate in the painting, he would eat all the jerky on the round table while Maud and the others were painting the flag!

In order not to let Jim grab the food, he specifically pointed out that Jim hadn't painted the flag yet.

Jim never imagined that Bailey could do this in order to eat alone.

He came to the table, and under the watchful eyes of Maud and others, he picked up the oil brush and painted it on the canvas with paint.

Maud and the others watched.

Gradually, a look of surprise appeared on their faces.

Eyes shifted from the half-painted skull to Jim's imposing body.

I didn't expect Jim to be such a good painter.

Soon, Jim drew a pirate flag that could be called flawless.

The knife and gun pattern on the back of the skull is angular and can feel the edge.

The finishing touch is the irregular blood on the skull's forehead, neither too much nor too little, as Maud hoped, adding a chilling momentum to this.

"Great, Jim."

Maud looked at the flag and couldn't help but praise it.

Lafayette and Jaya looked at Jim, who was usually taciturn, in surprise.

It's hard to imagine that this man as strong as a bear has such exquisite painting skills.

Hearing everyone's heartfelt praise, Jim twitched the corners of his mouth, revealing a little smile.

Finally got the pirate flag.

Lafayette hung the flag on the flagpole above the lookout for the first time, and then returned to the shore.

Looking at the flag fluttering in the wind, Lafayette was moved for a while.

That's what's called a correct name.

Lafayette thought silently.

Maud looked up at the flag.

Although I don't care much about the identity of the pirates, the skull flag is indeed somewhat compelling.

The look is not bad.

Maud nodded slightly, quite satisfied.

"The next step is to change to a reliable ship as soon as possible, and then give the ship a name as soon as possible."

Maud muttered to himself, when it came to names, his thoughts could not help but diverge, and various names flooded his mind.

Lafayette heard Maud's self-talk, and turned to look, his eyes involuntarily fixed above Maud's head.

As if in between, he saw a lot of dazzling crows flying around on Maud's head.

After a pause, Lafayette raised his cane and waved it back and forth over Maud's head, as if to knock out those dazzling crow characters.

"what are you doing?"

Maud watched Lafayette's strange behavior.

"mosquito."

Lafayette silently retracted his cane.

"?"

Maud looked around at his surroundings.

Lafayette was also decisive, turned and walked towards the table, forcibly interrupting the topic.

Aside, Jaya showed a smile.

The crowd sat down again.

After drinking and chatting for a while, Maud suddenly said: "Senior Kurokas, I want to ask you for help with something."

"you say."

Kolokas Road.

It was rare to be able to sit and drink and chat with a few old friends and juniors, which made him feel very happy.

Maud euphemistically said: "We didn't record the pointer, I don't know if you have..."

Kurokas smiled and said, "I have one. I'll keep it anyway, so I'll give it to you all."

"That's great."

Maud's face brightened with joy.

Recording pointers are a must for navigating the great waterway. It is difficult to obtain them in the four seas. Even if there are many, they will be hidden in the hands of those pirates who aim directly at the great waterway.

Kurokas thought that it was not a human temperament to act casually, and suddenly he was curious about which route Mord would choose, so he asked:

"Little Maud, which route are you going to choose?"

"Speaking of this..."

Maud couldn't help but glanced at Lafayette, who nodded towards Maud.

Then, Maud looked at Kurokas and asked, "Senior, do you know which route has a more powerful shipyard? The closer the better."

"Well."

Kurokas stroked his beard and thought.

"Let's talk about the nearest famous shipyard, that is, Thomas Shipyard on Leviathan Island. They specialize in serving the rookie pirates who have just entered the great waterway, so the price is very high."

"Leviathan Island..."

Maud and Lafayette looked at each other.

Money is not the problem, the most important thing is quality.

"Senior, is this shipyard named Thomas reliable?"

"I'm not sure about this, but Thomas Shipyard can stand up in a mixed place like Leviathan, naturally it has some strength."

"Um."

Maud nodded.

My mind is already inclined towards this route.

Only by first changing to a good boat is the capital to go anywhere.

Moreover, there is such a thing as a permanent pointer, and such a thing as a route is irrelevant.
