Chapter 33: Black Cat Pirates!
After nearly five days of sailing, the group finally reached the waters of Clover Island.
At this moment, Ryuen, Nami, and Nojiko were hanging out on the lookout, enjoying the sea breeze and chatting idly.
"Captain Gulachi, is your information wrong? We haven't encountered any pirates on this trip!" Ryuen couldn't help but complain. Nami and Nojiko also expressed their disappointment with the journey.
Captain Gulachi laughed, "You little ones, isn't it good not to encounter pirates? This way, everyone stays safe, and I promised you won't lose a single berry!"
Despite having Ryuen and the others as guards, fighting pirates still carried risks.
Captain Gulachi was secretly relieved. If these three kids got hurt on the way, Bellemere wouldn't let him off easily when they returned to Cocoyasi Village.
However, Ryuen and the others clearly didn't think the same.
They all rolled their eyes at Captain Gulachi, thinking: Encountering pirates and not encountering pirates are completely different! Only by encountering pirates could they show their strength, defeat those nasty pirates, and seize their tempting treasures!
Just then, a suspicious ship appeared on the distant sea, with a clear skull flag on its sail.
Little Nami's eyes lit up, and she excitedly pointed at the ship, "Look! Is that a pirate ship?"
Captain Gulachi quickly picked up his binoculars and saw the figures on the ship. His expression became serious, "It seems our luck is good; we've really encountered pirates. But everyone, stay alert and prepare for battle!"
