Chapter 272 1 Lifelong Love
Chapter 272 1 Lifelong Love
Moving their eyes away from the gradually shrinking island, the people on the Heizi withdrew their gaze from the distance and looked at Jerry, who was helplessly spreading his hands, and little Pony, who was pouting and seemed angry.
"Hmph! You two bad guys, you met secretly without bringing me along!" Little Bonnie complained angrily, holding a beautiful gift box tightly in his right hand and a sound shell that is commonly seen on Sky Island in his left hand.
But soon, she listened to the big bear's voice coming from the sound shell with joy on her face.
Jerry clenched his fist to his lips, coughed lightly, and shrugged: "Ahem, this is Daxiong's choice. Didn't I ask him to record an audio clip? I didn't expect that he still couldn't explain it clearly."
Most of the messages that Big Bear left in the sound box expressed his love and concern for Little Bonnie, and then he simply said in one or two sentences that he could not bring the latter with him due to work reasons.
Staring down at the gift box and the sound shell in her hands, little Bonnie realized that what Jerry said was true. She just didn't understand why he didn't let her see him since he was already here.
Fortunately, little Bonnie did not remain immersed in the entanglement. She took the carefully wrapped gift and ran to the side with Carrot and Kalina, excitedly sharing her happiness and excitement.
"So that was the breath of the big bear. I have sensed it occasionally before, but he always disappeared in an instant." Cavendish said thoughtfully.
On ordinary days when there is no fighting, most people who have mastered Observation Haki do not keep it activated all the time.
As the conversation deepened, Deus, Skarr, and Brooke also joined the discussion. After chatting casually for a while, everyone began to return to their daily activities.
One morning a few days later, the sky was covered with thick dark clouds.
Skarr, holding the newspaper delivered by the news bird, suddenly shouted on the deck:
"Everyone, come and see! Alabasta's..."
As he spoke, Scar paused, then glanced at the news events in the newspaper.
"Oh?" Hearing these words, Jerry's eyes revealed a hint of understanding, as if these words had already outlined the outline of the incident in his mind.
As expected, everyone's attention was drawn to him, and Scar soon continued, "Crocodile... was defeated by Ace's brother, Straw Hat Boy Luffy!"
As he spoke, he extracted useful key information based on the description in the newspaper and combined it with his own language.
Overall, it was consistent with Jerry's impression.
After Luffy and his companions landed in Alabasta, they traveled around and experienced many battles.
In the end, they successfully defeated the Baroque Workshop, including Crocodile.
At the same time, the civil strife in the kingdom carefully planned by Crocodile was finally quelled, and the crimes he committed in secret were naturally made public.
As the captain of the pirate group that defeated Crocodile, although Luffy's bounty was low when he entered the Grand Line, it still reached 100 million after this battle.
Looking at the bounty in his hand, Cavendish fell into deep thought, muttering to himself, "Ace's brother is very strong. Crocodile was evenly matched with me at that time..."
"Hey, isn't Crocodile just sand? As long as there is love in life, why fear the wind and flying sand... ahem." Seeing that everyone was confused but waiting for him to brag, Jerry paused.
Then, a sly look flashed in his eyes, and he smiled maliciously, "Cavendish, you're not much worse. If you only use the power of the Thunder Fruit to fight him, it's a 50-50 chance at best, provided you can dodge fast enough."
"Huh?" Cavendish leaned back tactically, squinted his eyes and stared at Jerry. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether what he said was true or false.
"Nowadays, young people are getting stronger and stronger. They make me excited, even though I no longer have blood to boil. Yo ho ho ho." Brooke joked.
Hearing this, Kalina curled her lips and said, "You may not have passion, but you still have a thief's heart."
After everyone joked with each other for a while, Deuce's eyes fell on the information that Scarr had provided earlier, and his brows furrowed slightly:
"Jerry, are we going to continue to Alabasta, or to this Kingdom of Lulucia?"
According to the latest news Scarr received, someone claimed to have seen Teach in the Kingdom of Lulucia.
Jerry was a little unsure about this information.
At present, Teach is still an unknown character. Even though he has established the Blackbeard Pirates, he still does not have a single bounty order.
This resulted in Jerry, Skarr, and Ace having a lot of difficulty in getting information.
Sometimes they got almost no clues, and sometimes they received sighting reports of Blackbeard Teach in multiple places almost simultaneously, making it difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
Because some events have changed and are no longer what Jerry remembers, he finds that he can no longer guess Teach's whereabouts based on the original trajectory.
Taking Magnetic Drum Island as an example, Ace had personally gone to the island to investigate, but the result was that Teach had never appeared there.
Based on this, Jerry firmly believes that the only thing that can be confirmed with a high probability is that Teach's great ambition will never change.
Since Teach no longer chooses to keep a low profile and continue to stay in the Whitebeard Group, he will definitely take all possible means to realize his ambition of rising rapidly.
However, even with this information, Jerry was unable to determine too many details.
For example, whether Teach is still on Luffy's crew's route, whether he will go to destroy other countries, or even whether he will focus on other pirates with a bounty of over 100 million, these questions are still full of unknowns.
Jerry doesn't have a crystal ball and doesn't know how to tell fortunes. As the world has already changed, he can only rely on various intelligence and make every decision prudently based on actual conditions.
"Skarl, what do you think?" Regarding the next itinerary, Jerry turned his head and wanted to seek the advice of a professional intelligence expert.
Skarr gently rubbed his temple with his index finger, as if thinking it over carefully before slowly speaking out his thoughts:
"Going to Alabasta and then turning to Jaya Island was what Boss Jerry suggested a few days ago. If you have concluded from certain information that they will go there, you can insist on continuing, but the specific choice still depends on yours."
Jerry slapped his forehead and sighed: "It's really like listening to your words, Skarr, listen to me, thank you for clearing up my doubts."
"Oh haha, you're welcome..." Scarl smiled slightly awkwardly.
He knew that if the target was a well-known figure, his intelligence network would be able to easily control him.
But the current Teach is still quite unfamiliar to most people, and there are many people with face blindness in this world. These factors make Skarl feel that finding someone is too difficult.
Glancing at the silent and smiling Deuce, Jerry knew that he probably didn't have any good ideas, so he stopped struggling and said, "Then let's choose the Kingdom of Lulucia."
After comprehensive consideration, Jerry finally decided to go with the current intelligence he had.
This was mainly because the message Scar received included a photo of a person's back, and he looked like Teach's bear.
