The Magic Valley Town Bar could be said to be the most prosperous place on this island. Every day, there would be a large number of hateful pirates coming in and out of here, talking loudly and drinking wildly here.
This bar was one of the few entertainment venues on the island. If this was also considered an entertainment place, in this small town that was not big, it was possible to drink in a small wine restaurant like this to pass the time.
For the pirates who licked blood and had no energy to vent, it was almost impossible for them to drink in peace and quiet. It was common to fight when two words were not good.
Fortunately, pirates generally thought highly of themselves. Although the pirates who could reach the Grandline were uneven, they were different from the pirates who would only wreak havoc in the four seas. If there was no special situation, no one would be interested in a small bar, not to mention that this bar was one of the rare gatherings of this Magic Valley Town.
Therefore, the life of the boss of this bar was very comfortable. Pirates were not short of money. The pirates who could sail to this place safely still had some savings. For these pirates, losing face in front of their peers was something that they were unwilling to accept no matter what. Therefore, things like eating without paying did not happen much.
Noon was the peak of the opening period of the bar. In this small town that lacked infrastructure construction, the small bar that could provide food was undoubtedly a place that many pirates did not want to miss.
The boss standing behind the bar was leisurely wiping his wine glass. Even if it was during the peak of the meal, if there was a dexterous waiter, it would be a good thing for the boss to be busy and idle.
"Bang!"
The door of the bar was gently pushed open, and four people came in. There was nothing to say, only Fire Dragon Pirates' four people.
As soon as the door was opened, a noisy atmosphere rushed over, and dialects from all over the world accompanied by all kinds of foul language lingered in the not-so-large bar.
"Is this bar where pirates gather?"
The musician girl who followed behind Vlad was very curious, and she carefully peeked out from behind Vlad and looked at these pirates.
"Awesome! It's completely different from the bar I went to!"
"Don't look around!"
Vlad looked straight ahead. He had no interest in these guys at all. "These guys don't like to be seen by others!"
"Oh! I... I'm sorry, Captain..."
Like a frightened deer, Serena hid behind Vlad and apologized carefully.
Vlad doesn't care either, this woman is not a person who is too open.
No one paid attention to them. There was no plot like the protagonist in the novel that attracted attention the moment he appeared. Someone immediately came up to find fault and ask for a slap in the face. These miscellaneous pirates could not see the spirit of Vlad and the new pirates.
"Hey, boss,"
Vlad sat in front of the bar, his tone a bit unpredictable, "Give me a cherry pie and a glass of wine!"
"What wine do you want?"
The boss looked like he was not surprised, his hands still gently wiping the quilt.
"What wine? I'll come to the most distinctive choice here!"
Vlad said.
"That's good!"
The boss nodded and took out a cup. He bent down and took a large cup of beer from the wine barrel and placed it in front of Vlad. "This is made by ourselves. We used the unique fruit nearby. This is the most unique wine we have here!"
"Oh?"
Vlad looked at the cup of turbid liquid on the table with great interest and smiled.
"Captain?" The chef stood behind Vlad in surprise.
They had already had lunch before they got off the ship, but they did not know why the captain still wanted to add food now.
"Please, customer!"
Soon, the steaming hot cherry pie was placed in front of Vlad, and a faint sweet fragrance emanated from it.
"Alright, let me have a taste!"
Vlad picked up a cherry pie with great interest and directly stuffed it into his mouth.
"Well --"
Vlad chewed, but his expression did not change.
"The taste is not bad!"
he said.
"Huh?"
The maid asked doubtfully, "Is there any dessert you don't like, Captain?"
She couldn't help but be surprised. Vlad was a crazy dessert lover. He had a strong appetite for all sweet foods. Even if not for very delicious, he would be very satisfied if it was sweet. But now, he actually said that the taste of this cherry pie was just like this?
"Well, who knows?"
Vlad smiled noncommittally. He picked up the glass on the table and poured a big mouthful of wine into his mouth. "Gulp gulp! Gulp gulp!" As his Adam's apple rolled up and down, a large cup of wine entered his stomach.
"Ah -"
Vlad burped happily, a happy expression on his face.
"Are the things here really different from each other?"
he said.
"The taste of my drink is just so-so!"
"Captain, don't be too picky,"
The chef said with a straight face, "Food on the sea is the most precious thing."
"Hahahaha!"
Vlad laughed loudly, "No, Chef, you don't understand. You don't understand this stalk!"
"..."
The chef was a bit confused.
Vlad swallowed the cherry pie in two bites. Although the taste was not very good, Vlad was not a person who wasted food.
"By the way, boss, I have something to ask you!"
"Is there a rising tide in the nearby sea?" Vlad said.
"Rising sea?"
The boss looked at Vlad in surprise, and then nodded affirmatively, "Yes, there is indeed a shocking rising sea stream in the nearby sea."
"It seems that I didn't remember wrongly!"
Vlad laughed and patted his forehead. Nearly twenty years had passed, and although he still hadn't forgotten about this matter, he wasn't so clear about it.
"Then, customer, why did you ask about the Rising Tide?"
The boss asked casually. He didn't have any intention of asking about other people's privacy. After all, all the people who could come here were pirates. It was very clear what they could say and what they couldn't say.
"Oh, this,"
Vlad casually said: "I want to go to Sky Island to find someone. I heard that you can fly to Sky Island by riding the rising current! I want to try it!"
"Kacha!"
The wine glass in the boss' hand fell to the ground and shattered.
"Customer, are you talking about the Sky island?"
"Yes, yes,"
"The sky island!" Vlad smiled.
"Hey, he, he's talking about the sky island!"
"Does he mean that he wants to go to the sky island?"
"Is that so?"
Silence, a brief silence enveloped the bar.
"Pfft!"
"Hahahaha!"
"Hey, someone wants to go to the sky island! Hahahaha!"
"What a joke! Hahahaha!"
"There are actually such pirates nowadays? It's too funny!"
