Chapter 26: The First Crew Member, Smanton

When the people of the entire Sitkaya Kingdom were in a carnival.

However, Luodi took Aikou away from the palace, leaving only a note on the table.

He didn't want to face those overly enthusiastic people.

Of course, there was another reason.

Smanton made an appointment with him.

On the street in Drada Town.

Aikou expressed his dissatisfaction.

"Brother Luodi, you ran away without telling me again!"

Luodi shrugged.

"It's because you're lazy!"

Aikou snorted heavily.

There was no way, who made her too tired last night.

"Okay, here we are!"

Came to the door of a bar, which was basically full of people.

Occasionally, you could hear words such as "Kingdom of Kionia", "Battle", and "Hero".

And this bar was the bar that Luodi had been to before.

If he remembered correctly, he had killed a pirate group here at that time.

The fat boss saw him and trembled for some reason.

"Guest, ahem, guest, what do you need?"

Luodi looked at him strangely, but didn't care.

"Where is Smanton?"

The fat boss pointed to the inner room, and Luo Di nodded and walked in with Ai Kou.

After the two disappeared completely, the fat boss wiped the sweat from his forehead.

"This evil god is too scary, and it is actually connected with the betrayer, the third in command, Smanton!"

While sighing, someone else came in, and he quickly put on a smile to entertain the guests.

Inner room.

A fancy gambler's hat is particularly eye-catching.

Luo Di did not hesitate and walked directly with Ai Kou.

"Are you here?"

Smanton was wearing a black windbreaker, and the gold-rimmed glasses he changed into gave him a touch of literary style. His face was clean, not as sloppy as before, and he looked a lot younger.

In fact, he was not really old, only 26 years old.

Luo Di sat down and poured Ai Kou a glass of juice.

"Well, what do you want to talk to me about?"

Smanton pushed his glasses.

"I watched the battle this morning!"

Luo Di turned his head.

"Oh? Then what?"

"Do you know the Grand Line?"

"I've heard a little bit about it, what's wrong?"

"You are very strong, and your potential is unlimited. This small West Sea is not suitable for you. Only the Grand Line is your real stage. If you are willing, I am willing to be your guide!"

At this time, Smanton's eyes were full of enthusiasm, as if he had foreseen the future of Lodi.

In fact, in this sea, or the entire pirate world, the strong are often the objects of people's admiration, no matter whether the strong are pirates or navy.

At this time, Smanton is like Torrebol beside Doflamingo.

Torrebol discovered Doflamingo's potential, so he supported him as king and served him as the master.

And Smanton...

Lodi was silent for a moment.

"I will definitely go to the Grand Line, but it's too early for me now. You know, I'm only ten years old now!"

The last paragraph was actually said to Smanton.

Smanton naturally understood the meaning of it. Suddenly, he took off his hat and lowered his head slightly.

"I am willing to wait for you, Captain Lodi!"

This means that Smanton has become a member of Lodi's team and is willing to bow down to him.

Lodi nodded, then poured two glasses of wine, smiled at Smanton, and drank them all.

This is the first time Lodi has drunk since he came to this world.

Mainly because he is too young, he is afraid that it will affect brain development.

At this time, Ai Ko came to join in the fun.

"Brother Lodi, I want to drink too!"

After saying that, she drank a glass regardless of Lodi's dissuasion, but she fell on the table not long after.

Lodi was also helpless about this.

Then he turned his head to look at Smanton and asked a question with a serious face.

"Smanton, do you know Iron Hand Butcher Makati?"

Makati was the culprit of the destruction of the small fishing village four years ago.

In fact, Lodi didn't know this person at first, and only remembered the pirate flag on the beach.

However, he picked up a bounty on the way the navy left at that time.

The pirate flag on it is exactly the same as the one on the seaside.

The person who offered the bounty was the captain of the Iron Hand Pirates, Iron Hand Butcher Makati, and the bounty at that time was 45 million Baileys.

Smanton thought for a while and pushed his glasses.

"I haven't heard much about Makati, but I have heard that he was originally a big pirate. He accidentally ate a devil fruit two years ago, and became more arrogant. The bounty has skyrocketed to 70 million Baileys."

"But because he is really notorious, the Navy Headquarters sent a vice admiral to arrest him. If I am not mistaken, he is probably now in the world's largest prison, Impel."

Impel is the so-called Impel City, which Luo Di knows.

But, Impel City is a bit tricky!

Luo Di frowned, but couldn't think of how to kill the other party.

It seems that he has to wait for a few years.

With his current strength, he is still far away.

I just hope he doesn't die in there!

"What's wrong? Why are you asking this?"

"I have a grudge against him and I'm going to kill him myself."

Smanton shook his glass and sighed.

"That's not easy, unless you can become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea, or you want to join the navy?"

As he said that, he looked at Luo Di.

Smanton was a pirate, and he didn't want the person he liked to be a navy.

Luo Di shook his head.

"I won't be a navy. From a certain perspective, the navy is also half my enemy!"

Smanton breathed a sigh of relief.

"So, you want to become one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea?"

Luo Di's mouth corners slightly raised.

"Who knows?"

The ambiguous words made Smanton's heart jump.

Then there was an indescribable excitement.

Everything is self-evident.

He became more and more interested in this young captain. If it was what he thought, then it would be great!

Then the two talked about some other things.

"I'm leaving for the Kingdom of Flowers tomorrow. Do you want to come with me?"

"Of course. Wherever the captain is, I'll go!"

"Okay, but I don't know how to use Armament Haki yet. Please teach me."

"Of course, but I didn't expect the captain to have Conqueror Haki. It really opened my eyes!"

"It seems that you know a lot. Can you tell me about your past?"

"I don't think I can hide this from the captain. In fact, I have been to the Grand Line before, and I was even about to reach the New World in the second half, but..."

Just as the two were talking.

On the other side.

An unknown island on the Grand Line.

Headquarters of the World Economic News Agency.

Morgans was asking his men to rewrite the news based on the information from Oimo.

As for the name of the headline, he had already thought of it.

The war of stealing the country that had been planned for many years, the passionate collision between kingdoms, and the mysterious boy who was only ten years old ended this "farce" in just half an hour - the god of death, Luo Di
