Roy’s time purchasing supplies in Loguetown was very brief.
As for where the money came from?
In a place like Loguetown, the last thing lacking was pirates.
By casually finding a few pirates to “borrow” some money from, Roy gathered enough funds to purchase supplies.
He did not stay in Loguetown for long.
Instead, he left with a large pile of supplies.
Time passed day by day…
On the vast sea, there was nothing but seawater.
Looking out, all one could see was an endless expanse of blue, like a pure sky stretching on without boundary, as if it had no edge.
After the small boat drifted across the sea for several days.
Roy finally saw a “merchant ship” on the sea.
It was a merchant ship of considerable size.
It was much larger than his small boat.
At the same time Roy spotted this merchant ship, the people on the “merchant ship” also noticed Roy.
“Boss, we didn’t run into any big fish today, but we did run into a little fish!”
On the “merchant ship,” a man wearing a headscarf spoke to his boss, Aiden Jason.
In truth, this merchant ship was not a real merchant ship.
It was a pirate ship in disguise, and its purpose was to rob any ships it encountered.
If they did not disguise themselves, then any ship that saw a pirate flag would definitely turn around and flee.
These days, if one wanted to make a living on the sea…
One had to use their brain a little.
“A little fish is fine too.
It’s better than nothing!”
“Bring the ship over!”
Aiden Jason, the captain of the Jason Pirates with a bounty of 6.5 million berries, suddenly took a gulp of rum and spoke to the helmsman aboard the ship with his breath reeking of alcohol.
“Boss, there are a lot of packages on that small boat.
There might be quite a few good things!”
As the two ships drew closer, the pirates aboard the “merchant ship,” who were disguised as ordinary sailors, could clearly see the supply packages piled on Roy’s small boat.
He had not expected an unexpected gain.
He immediately ordered his subordinates, “Hurry and invite him aboard!”
“Yes, boss!”
After receiving the order, his underling pretended to be a merchant and called out to Roy, “Little brother, do you want to come aboard and rest for a while?
We can exchange supplies!”
“That’s right, little brother.
Drifting alone on the sea, you must want to find a place to rest your feet, right?”
“Hehehe, we’re a proper merchant ship.
Do you want to come up and sit for a while?”
It had to be said that these pirates’ acting skills were quite good.
Each of them also wore warm smiles on their faces.
Roy narrowed his eyes slightly.
These people were a little too enthusiastic.
Moreover, from these people…
He sensed a faint trace of bloodlust.
Or rather, it was killing intent.
Although it was very weak, it was enough to prove that these people were absolutely not ordinary sailors.
This merchant ship was clearly not an ordinary merchant ship either.
Of course, Roy did not care.
He glanced at the supplies on his small boat.
During these past few days drifting on the sea, he had grown somewhat tired of eating the dry rations he had prepared.
Roy asked, “Do you have fresh food on your ship?”
“We do, we do!
As long as you pay, we can provide you with all kinds of delicious food!”
The pirates disguised as sailors aboard the merchant ship continued smiling with enthusiasm.
With acting skills like this, it was truly a pity they were not performing in stage plays.
“All right.”
Roy nodded.
As Roy brought his small boat close to the “merchant ship,” the pirates on the merchant ship also threw down two ropes.
Clearly, one of the ropes was meant to tie Roy’s small boat, while the other was for Roy to climb aboard the “merchant ship.”
“Little brother, tie one of the ropes to the bow of your boat, then grab the other rope. Get faster updates on g.com.
We’ll pull you up!”
As the captain, Aiden Jason stood by the railing on the side of the ship and spoke to Roy.
His smile was also very warm.
Only, within that warmth…
How much of it was genuine was impossible to know.
After Roy boarded this merchant ship, sure enough, he saw a group of people who did not look like proper sailors or merchants at all.
Looking at these people before him, Roy felt his expression shift narrowing his eyes slightly.
“Looks like I may have boarded a pirate ship.”
Roy thought to himself.
The reason he made this judgment was because he saw that basically everyone aboard this so-called merchant ship had weapons such as blades, guns, clubs, and staffs hanging at their waists.
Not a single person looked weak.
All of them gave off a fierce and brutal feeling.
Ordinary merchants would not give people that kind of feeling.
“Forget it.
It doesn’t matter what kind of ship this is, as long as they don’t provoke me.
In any case, I only boarded this ship to exchange for supplies.”
Roy did not care too much.
Whether they were pirates or mountain bandits, their identities had little to do with him.
Unless these people sought death and wanted to make a move against him.
Besides, with his current strength, if he really came into conflict with this group of people…
Then the ones who died would definitely be the people on this ship.
Aiden Jason, the captain of this ship disguised as a merchant ship but actually a pirate ship, looked Roy up and down before asking, “Little brother, what’s your name?
Why are you drifting alone on the sea in a small boat?”
“Dio Brando.
A traveler.”
Roy casually gave a false name.
He had no need to answer truthfully just because someone asked him a question.
Besides, he had already labeled this ship as a “pirate ship.”
