Grandpa …
Crowe's lips twitched. I'm the same generation as Dad.
He smiled and said, "Noah, it's been a year."
"Is it that long? Forget it, it's not important. Dad, give me the money." Noah continued to reach out to Kuro.
Kuro frowned. "How much?"
Noah thought for a moment and stretched out a finger. "Well… 10 million Berries."
"How much?!"
Kuro raised his voice. "Ten million?! What do you want this money for? No! I don't even have ten million!"
"No? Forget it…"
Noah thought about it and seemed to not care at all. He turned around and was about to run away.
"Well, Noah…"
Crowe waved his hand and said, "Grandpa didn't bring you a gift this time. I'll give you a check from the exchange office and you can exchange it for 10 million."
"Hey! Really?!"
Noah turned his head with shining eyes and said, "That's great! Then I will have ten million!"
Kuro glanced at Crowe but didn't stop him.
It's impossible to say that he doesn't have money. His business is very big now, but he pays taxes on time and is not exploited. It's within the legal scope. It's just that boys have to be raised poor, especially a bastard like his son.
As for Crowe, after fighting pirates for so many years, he has also accumulated a lot of wealth and seems to have invested in his business.
"Forget it, you have grown up, you should experience something. Ten million it is, but what do you want money for?" Kuro asked.
Noah bared his teeth and said firmly, "Buy a ship!"
"Why do you want to buy a ship?"
Noah smiled. With his back to the sun, it seemed to shine on his entire body, especially his bald head, which was shining brightly.
"Be the Pirate King!!!"
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings seemed to be quiet.
Crowe had just taken out the check from his pocket, and his hand that was about to pass it forward immediately stopped there, not moving at all.
Kuro raised his eyebrows and the veins on his forehead burst out. He stared at this big glowing head and tried to squeeze out a smile. "Say it again, what kind of king are you going to be?"
"One Piece King!"
"I think, do you want to change your vocabulary and be an adventure king or something?" Kuro almost burst out the words.
"No! I want to be Pirate King!"
Noah did not feel the seriousness of the situation at all. With yearning in his eyes, he said, "It's what Roger said, and what Monkey D. Luffy said, Pirate King! Find the big secret treasure and be the freest man in the sea!!"
The veins on Kuro's forehead bulged.
"Well, Noah…"
Crowe wiped the cold sweat on his face and asked, "Lord Crowe…"
"Huh?!" Kuro looked at Crowe.
"No, um, Uncle Crowe, why do you want to be a pirate?"
"It's Pirate King!"
"Yes yes yes, why do you want to be Pirate King?"
"Well…"
Noah touched his chin and put on a similar expression as Kuro. He frowned and thought for a while before suddenly baring his teeth. "Because of interest!"
Crack!
With an explosion, Kuro stood up and reached out to take Autumn Water, who was hanging next to him with a scabbard. He pointed at Noah and said fiercely, "Chloe, catch him for me! If I don't break his legs today! I'll teach you what it means to beat people with interest!!"
"Hey, Dad, what are you doing! If you continue like this, I will fight back. Don't think that I can't beat you. Ouch, ah!!!"
In the calm town of Shields, there was a loud sound that had not been heard for many years.
In the sound of the scabbard hitting the flesh, there seemed to be an unyielding cry.
"I want to be the Pirate King of interest!!!"
… .
The former youth vowed to change the world, and the current youth clamored to move towards his dream.
The will passed down through generations, the changes of times, the dreams of men…
None of them could be stopped.
The book ended.
