Chapter 278: Golden City
The fiery red figure was like red lightning, disappearing into the sky in the blink of an eye, hidden among the white clouds, and his figure could no longer be seen.
"What a random guy!"
Zephyr retracted his gaze towards the sky and said this.
"Teacher——"
Ain hesitated to speak.
"What's wrong? Ain!"
Of course Zephyr noticed something was wrong with his disciple and asked aloud.
"That man, that guy,"
Ain, "He's completely different from ordinary pirates!"
"Oh?"
Zephyr said with great interest, "Why is it different? Tell me?"
"As if he doesn't care about anything!"
Ain tried hard to recall that she and Vlad had only spoken a few words, but just meeting such a special man once was enough to form a clear impression in her heart.
"He don't fear anything, not even the navy, pirates, the government, even law, order, and even life!"
Ain said in a very solemn tone, "That man is fearless!"
"That's right, Ain."
Zephyr said with appreciation, "People always have to be a little reverent. They can do anything and be fearless, but that means there is no restriction. Some of these people are not easy, but just do whatever they want. The so-called Pirates are all such scum!"
"No, it's different, Teacher Zephyr,"
Ain said, "The Fire Dragon guy is different! Indeed, I didn't think there was anything that this man might be afraid of, but,"
"I can feel that that man has his own persistence in his heart! It's not awe, it seems to be just his own persistence!"
In fact, it is not right. Vlad also has his own fear. Just like Zephyr said, a person who is not afraid of anything is no longer a human being, just a beast. After all, Vlad has been a human being for two generations. A dead otaku in his previous life, he is also a great pirate now. With his powerful strength mixed with a past life memory, Vlad is not without flaw. What he is is born from a life that merges two worlds in his heart and moral concepts that belongs only to him.
He didn't care about the rest, not even the great starry sky above his head.
It's enough for him to just do what he wants to do!
"Yeah?"
Zephyr smiled, then glanced at Ain with some surprise, and asked, "Ain, you seem to be quite interested in the fire dragon guy!"
"That's right,"
Ain said with some worry, "Teacher Zephyr, I have a strong hunch that that man is definitely not at peace with the name of the Shichibukai. Maybe in the near future, he will cause huge waves on the sea!"
"That's right, that's it. The Sichibukai is just his cover!"
Zephyrs's tone was particularly cold and stern, "Shichibukai, this bullshit system has not played the role expected by the government. All it has achieved is to provide protection for these huge scum!"
"..."
Facing the furious teacher Zephyr, Ain was silently speechless. She felt a very aggrieved feeling in her heart, just like the feeling she had just seen Vlad today, a feeling of powerlessness, a strong feeling of powerlessness. , not simply powerlessness, but powerlessness in a deeper sense.
"Justice...?"
Ain suddenly felt confused.
"Ain! Don't be in a daze. Do you think you can get away with what happened before? You neglected your duties!!!!"
"Eh?"
Miss Ain had no time to be confused.
------------------
It was evening, and the golden sunshine filled the sea. The sun hanging high in the sky finally ended the day's sailing, and once again gradually fell silent under the sea level.
It was at this time that Vlad's first destination in the new world finally arrived!
"Oh, it's finally here!"
The tall dragon man flapped his broad wings and floated in the sky. Vlad's ferocious dragon man's face was full of smiles, "It's really far away, flying for so long!"
Below him, above the sea, an extremely huge ship sailed slowly on the water. Because of its huge size, it looked like it was floating quietly on the water without moving at all.
This is also natural, because the sea is empty, and the ship is too huge. Even the largest warship Vlad has ever seen is just a small paper ship in front of it, without an obvious reference. , this big ship really looks like it hasn't moved.
Vlad had only seen two such huge ships in his previous life. One was affiliated with the Fire Dragon Pirates, the former ship of the Shichibukai, Gecko-Moria, and a terrifying three-masted ship. It was the zombie paradise who is still floating in the Devil's Triangle, silently accumulating power.
As for the other ship, that is, the big ship in front of Vlad now, it can be said to be a city on the sea. The name of this ship is - Gran Tesoro, the world's number one entertainment city, affiliated to the underground giant of the new world, Vlad's little friend, Gild Tesoro's ship.
"Hey! Even though more than two years have passed, nothing has changed!"
Vlad sighed.
Although it has not yet fallen into the night, there are already bright lights on the boat below. Just like Vlad said, even though two years have passed, this place is still no different from two years ago. Despite the changes, the scene of the city that never sleeps remains the same.
"Uh-oh, really,"
Vlad lowered his height and flew towards the ship like a strong wind.
"Still as intoxicated as ever!"
Vlad couldn't help but sigh, "It would be great if all pirate navies were like this!"
Just like the last time he infiltrated Gran Tesoro, Vlad easily entered the ship. For people like Vlad, it is really easy to sneak in.
"Hmm!!"
Vlad, who had long since returned to normal, suddenly felt a strange sense of confusion while standing on a busy street with people coming and going. Such a bustling place instantly reminded him of the time in his previous life, when he was always standing alone. The feeling he get when he's on a bustling street is that the world is huge, but he can't find a sense of belonging.
But it's different now. After all, the owner of this city is his good friend!
He's the kind of good friend who can give you a few apartments casually without saying a word.
"Okay, let's go find Tesoro!"
Vlad stretched and said this.
"Hm?"
Vlad's nose suddenly moved.
"This is--???"
