The next morning, after waking up, the first thing Lucius searches for is a bottle of wine. After finding a bottle that still has a few left, he put the bottle in his mouth and started drinking it.
"Now I feel some energy," Lucius said and looked around. He saw a naked woman on the bed. He was first confused and remembered about last night.
After getting a new pocket engine for their ship, they partied the whole night. He meets her at the bar and hooks up with her.
He shook his head and thought,'She must be hungry for a long time now.' He smirks and goes inside the bathroom.
Lucius washed his face and came out. This is her house, so he doesn't bother with waking her up. She did some wild acts last night.
Lucius slowly opened the door and went out. He needed to meet with his crew and leave this island. They need to go to a lot of places.
Moreover, they need a strong ship for their upcoming adventure. And he knows the perfect place to make the ship. It's just that he is searching for the special wood that Roger uses.
As he was thinking, he went towards the restaurant where he felt the aura of his crew. Before entering inside, he can already hear the loud voice of Burundi.
He smiled and went inside the restaurant. Everyone looks towards the door, but the next second moves to their conversation.
Byrnndi looked towards Lucius and said, "Captain, you are here. I thought we had to wait for a few more days, Barororo."
"Xihihihi," Jack joined in the laugh. He has mixed pretty fast with the crew. He also finds out that even though they are a lot stronger than him and act arrogantly, they are good to their brothers. Yes, they call each other brothers. They said it's a thing in the Vikings.
Lucius chuckled and said, "Nah, I am good." He then ordered food for himself. He poured a mug of booze and started drinking.
After some time, his order arrived. He starts eating his food without talking. Jack and Byojack talk while Lucius eats and Byrnndi drinks.
An eternity later,
Byojack comes beside Lucius after seeing he won't be finished eating soon and asks, "Captain, do you want to stay here, or do you want to set sail?"
Lucius waved his hand and said, "Prepare everything. We will leave in an hour."
Byojack nodded and looked at Jack and Byrnndi and nodded his head. Byrnndi lifted Byojack, sat him on his shoulder, and went out of the restaurant, Jack followed them.
Lucius also continued with the food.
…...
Lucius stands at the front of the shop, looks at the blue sea, and smiles. No matter how many times he looks at it, the sea always makes him happy.
Lucius lit a cigarette and said, "Let's set sail."
"Aye X3"
Jack took the ship's helm, changed the course, and set it towards the next island. Lucius stands there and feels the cool breeze waving his semi-long hair.
Jack smiles. He feels like he is starting an adventure that will forever be engraved in history.
Byojack sits on Byrnndi and smiles, too. It was always their dream to go to the sea and travel.
…
A few days have passed since they departed from the last island where they get their recruits and Navigator for the ship.
Lucius is training with the axe as he swings it with one hand.
His upper body is naked. His muscles are visible and look like they were carved by hand.
After an hour, he put the axe down and wiped his sweat with a towel.
Suddenly, Byojack came running with a smile on his face. Lucius looked at him puzzled. He can feel his excitement through the Haki.
Lucius asked, "What happened, Byojack?" He smiled and said, "I got news about the wood you were searching for, Captain."
Lucius' eyes widened, and he grins. Byrnndi also comes outside when he notices his brother running towards the captain in confusion.
Jack also came down when he saw Byojack coming outside running.
Jack becomes confused as he doesn't know what this special wood they are talking about.
Byrnndi also laughed when he heard the news. He has heard great tales and praise of this wood from their captain. And he completely believes his captain. So if they get this wood, then they can finally have a strong customised ship.
Byrnndi looks at Jack's puzzling face and decides to explain to his new little brother about this wood. Lucius smiled and let him explain.
Lucius looks at Byojack and asks, "Where?"
"Kano country," Byojack said, Jack also bowed and smiled after hearing the explanation.
Lucius looks thoughtful as this country seems familiar to him. But he can't remember where he heard this.
He looks at Byojack and asks, "Who has it there?"
Byojack replied, "It seems the Happo navy, Chinjao family, got this wood."
Lucius suddenly remembers this group of pirates. He then said to himself,'No wonder they know about this wood. Not many people know about this wood, as Rogers still didn't have Jackson yet or didn't become the pirate king yet. But the Chinjao family is different. They have been in the sea for a long time now. And it's not uncommon that they don't know about this wood.'
Lucius then smiled and said, "We should visit them and thank them for the gift, don't we?"
Byrnndi laughed, and Jack grinned. He already loves his captain.
Lucius lit up a cigarette and said, "Change the course, we are going to Kano Country."
"Aye, Captain," Jack said as he quickly ran towards the helm. He then changed the course after looking at the map and the weather.
