The manager and the others, who were observing the situation from the kitchen doorway, were already scared out of their wits.
Such fantastical abilities and ruthless methods made him keep sucking in cold air.
“To think they dared to provoke our Goldenhair Pirates; they were simply courting death.”
“Let’s go, Makino.”
Kazi didn’t care about anything.
When that bunch of thugs started shouting that they were working for Colonel Nezumi, he immediately thought of dragging Colonel Nezumi over and slaughtering him.
Although he wasn’t exactly a saint, he did have his own code of conduct.
And that was that he had to be comfortable in his own heart; if he wasn’t happy, it didn’t matter who showed up—it wouldn’t work.
He wanted to kill that stinking rat, so he would kill him; there was no other reason needed.
Back when he read the manga in his previous life, Kazi hadn’t had a good impression of this Colonel Nezumi.
Now that he had come here, he naturally had to vent some of his pent-up anger.
As for mentioning the name of his pirate crew, it was just to make it easier for the prestige of their pirate ship to spread.
Kazi and Makino walked out of the restaurant.
The manager and his staff didn’t dare to ask for the bill; this great lord leaving was the greatest gift to them.
Kazi, on the other hand, figured that by saving the restaurant from having to pay protection money, he had already settled the bill.
“Kazi, that person is a Marine Colonel.
Shouldn’t we leave here quickly?”
“If the Marine sends a large number of soldiers and high-ranking officers over, we’ll be in danger.”
Although Makino trusted Kazi, she was still a bit worried.
She was from the same hometown as the Marine Vice Admiral Garp, and she had grown up listening to Garp’s famous name.
Now that she had become a pirate, she felt a bit of fear toward high-ranking Marine officers.
“It doesn’t matter.
Even if the Marine mobilizes, they won’t be able to arrive here so quickly.”
“Let’s set off tomorrow.
Let’s just find a place to rest for the night today.”
Makino thought about it and felt that made sense.
This was a relatively remote place, and the East Blue didn’t have any powerful resident officers.
If they wanted to pursue them, they would probably have to dispatch people from the Headquarters.
On the other side, Kalmande was lingering in the red-light district of Kesha Town, unable to tear himself away.
“As expected, a man should have a woman in each arm.”
“What kind of miserable life was I living before?”
Kalmande kissed the beauty on his left, and the beauty on his right handed him a glass of fine wine.
“Handsome, have another drink.”
Both beauties had sweet appearances, and their tone carried a hint of seduction.
The more expensive the drinks the customer consumed, the more commission they would get.
Kalmande wasn’t someone who lacked money; the activity funds given by Captain Kazi were still quite sufficient.
The generous Kalmande naturally made the two beauties incredibly happy, and they planned to reward this big spender well tonight.
“Hahaha, I have a massive capacity for alcohol.
Today, I’ll let you two properly witness my prowess.”
Kalmande was intoxicated in this land of tenderness, as if he had found the true meaning of life.
Besides dreams, enjoying life was also a part of existence.
When one got old and was no longer capable, one could only look on helplessly.
This was not what Kalmande wanted—at the very least, that was how he felt right now.
“No wonder those kings and nobles are so corrupt.
I’ve actually started to understand them a little.”
Kalmande spent the night in extreme comfort, while on the other side, Kazi and Makino casually found a hotel that looked decent.
“Hello, we would like to book two rooms.”
“Ahem.”
Makino had just stated their requirements to the waiter at the front desk when Kazi, standing behind her, coughed twice for no apparent reason.
“Kazi, is your throat uncomfortable?”
“Ah, no, my throat was just a bit itchy earlier.
Maybe the food I ate just now was a bit salty.”
The waiter at the front desk understood immediately; he had seen this kind of maneuver too many times.
“I’m sorry, beautiful lady, our shop only has one luxury couple’s suite left.”
“But rest assured, two single rooms would be 7,000 Berries, and the couple’s suite happens to have a promotion.
The original price is 10,000 Berries, but today it only costs 7,000 Berries.
The price is the same.”
Makino wasn’t worried about the money, but she just felt it wasn’t quite appropriate for a man and a woman to stay in a couple’s suite.
The two of them weren’t a couple; wouldn’t this lead to misunderstandings?
“Then let—”
“Then let’s go with that.
The hotel business in your Kesha Town is really booming lately; I didn’t expect the rooms to be so full.”
Makino had just been about to say forget it and planned to find another place to stay, but she didn’t expect Kazi to agree immediately, which caught her off guard.
This was a couple’s suite…
Could it be that Captain Kazi was interested in her?
Kazi felt a bit embarrassed under Makino’s gaze.
Had he been too obvious just now?
“Uh, since this hotel is so full, other places are likely in the same situation.”
“We are both children of the sea; why be so coy?”
“Here, kid, here are your Berries.”
Kazi reached out and gave the waiter 7,000 Berries, but when the waiter gave Kazi the room key, he discreetly slipped a handful of Berries into his hand.
The waiter put them into his pocket without changing his expression.
The two men locked eyes, revealing looks of mutual appreciation.
“Let’s go, Makino.
Let’s get a good night’s rest on land today; we set sail again tomorrow.”
Makino didn’t say anything more and just followed silently behind Kazi.
Seeing Kazi and Makino go upstairs, the waiter took out the Berries from his pocket and looked; there were actually 50,000 Berries.
“Tsk tsk tsk, you deserve to pick up such a beautiful girl; you’re really generous.”
The waiter felt today was a really good day; he would have a good meal tonight to reward himself.

Kazi opened the door, and the two walked in to take a look.
Good heavens.
There were all kinds of decorations to set the mood, a lovebird bathtub, and a large, light blue heart-shaped bed.
If they didn’t do something, it would be a waste of this room.
“Ahem, uh, Makino.”
Kazi’s demeanor was a bit restrained, which was completely different from when he visited bathhouses.
Although they were both women, one was going to buy a service, and the other was a respectable woman.
Even for a scumbag like Kazi, he couldn’t help but feel a little nervous.
Makino had also run her own tavern before.
Although she hadn’t dated, she was still worldly-wise.
Seeing Kazi’s obviously awkward demeanor, she chuckled inwardly.
A guy with the heart of a thief but no guts.
After complaining to herself, Makino walked straight into the room.
“What’s wrong?
Cap～tain～ Ka～zu～.”
“Aren’t we both children of the sea?”
Makino’s words instantly enlightened Kazi.
That’s right, Makino hadn’t refuted him and was willing to come to a room with him; this in itself indicated her tacit approval.
Hehehehe, my damn charm; I still underestimated myself.
“It’s my fault, Makino.
Let us spend this wonderful night together.”
With his psychological burden lifted, Kazi indeed felt much more relaxed.
He closed the door, and in this room filled with an ambiguous atmosphere, the two just stared at each other.
The atmosphere was extremely ambiguous, and both of their breathing became slightly rapid.
Makino gently closed her eyes.
Kazi seemed to receive the signal and kissed her directly.
Kazi’s thoughts were very simple.
He knew Makino’s personality, and her looks were impeccable; there was no need for words when acting on lust.
Makino was also a sensible person.
After interacting for these few days, she had some understanding of Kazi’s personality.
He wasn’t the kind of heinous villain, and she quite liked him.
Since they were chasing their dreams, it wasn’t something that could be finished in a short time.
She trusted Kazi’s character, he was powerful, and he was very handsome.
Since both parties were interested in this aspect, they might as well let things happen naturally.
Maybe it’s not a big deal now… maybe it will be later.
