Chapter 239 Progress or Stay!
South: Open Seas: Ver's Ship
Pap Holder:
Heading steadfast on our vessel to the next island from the island of streams, as Kemon stated that's where the despicable gun woman Alice resides.
Out on the open deck as I sit in a lawn chair doodling something to past the time until we get there, pondering to myself as I am super focused on my drawing as I shade in a couple of parts, internally speaking to myself, I say, I wonder if I should step up and face this one this time, even though Crisga's guys completely moped the floor with me and Mr. Wink, and if I didn't get that strange rush of guneregy, I would've been dead.
Making a sour face at my recollection of that, I say still in my thoughts, maybe I shouldn't try facing Alice, but I do want to get up to SNG level like Mr. Ver and Mr. Rint.
Walking over as I hear steps coming towards me, lifting my gaze away from my little sketch book, peering down at me with his always overbearing pride in himself, Mr. Ver says with a piqued curiousness, what you drawing their Pap o Roney?
Looking up at my captain, then gazing back down at the abstract work I have created not really knowing myself on what I made, responding to his question, I say with honesty, not really sure Mr. Ver, I was zoning out just drawing, whatever and just thinking.
With his red gleaming eyes not shifting away, folding his arms comfortably, Mr. Ver says, contemplating if you wanted to take on this next 8 deadly, we are going to face by yourself maybe.
Shocked a little, at him knowing that, I say, h... how did you know? Smiling with a big grin, Mr. Ver says, I didn't. Until you just admitted it, also Wink told me about how you guys almost perished by Crisga's people.
Lowering my face as I frown a bit at him saying that, conversing back with Mr. Ver, I say in a dejected kind of tone, oh he told you that huh. You probably think I'm pretty weak huh, almost losing my life like that.
Placing a hand on my shoulder, replying back with a mellow tent to his voice, Mr. Ver says, I could never ridicule you like that Pap. Especially when you've proved yourself in making it this far. So, lift your head up and if you do decide you want to take on this foe by yourself, go for it. But even if you don't, me and the rest of us got your back pal.
