Gwen blinked.
Natsu's determination exceeded her expectations.
"Don't think about it? The benefits on our ship are very good. Every time we harvest treasures or materials, the captain will reasonably distribute them according to their positions and abilities. Even for ordinary sailors, their monthly salary is four or five . 10,000 Alliance Coins."
Salary?
Are you pirates or work?
"You can rest assured that we are not vicious pirates. We have never plundered villages or attacked ships. At most. At most, we will give some appropriate counterattacks when the Alliance is besieging us."
Natsu frowned.
If it's really as Gwen said, then the pirates of them can really be regarded as "the conscience of the industry".
"And most of our boats are girls. With your looks and temperament, you will definitely be very popular. And Let me tell you another secret, our captain is a big beauty. Although she is a little older, she is definitely a full-fledged beauty. The point is...."
After a short pause, Gwen raised her eyebrows.
"Unmarried."
Natsu: "."
How does he feel that this person doesn't come to pull him onto the boat, but instead Pimped?
"Well, let's talk about the attack."
It's okay to be a pirate or something.
To join an organization, why not join Team Rocket or something?
More resources, and all of them are hostile to Alliance.
Gwen twitched her lips.
She really thinks that Natsu has good strength, looks okay, and has stronger tactical ability. Maybe she can be a dog-head military advisor on the ship or something, and maybe even get her that vision. The old "leftover girl" captain, who is too tall, may have a spring heart.
"These Sharpedos were drawn on purpose," Gwen said anyway.
"Deliberately attract?"
"Some pirate gangs have such abilities, such as the Black King, Tommy King, and Scarlet Star, one of the three kings. There is also such a method, I don't know what it is, but it is indeed a common method used by some pirates."
After listening to Gwen's words, Natsu lowered his eyes and pondered a little, and then asked: " To test the garrison strength of the ship?"
"Smart." Gwen snapped his fingers.
It's easy to talk to smart people.
Learn some Wild Pokémon to attack the ship first to test the garrison on the ship to see if the ship can attack.
This is not uncommon for Gwen, who is also a pirate.
"So what's the result?"
"As a luxury cruise ship, the San Annus is naturally not weak in garrisoning power, and it is estimated that there are still many powerful characters hidden in it. , do you think so?" Said Gwen, and glanced at Natsu with a little deep meaning.
Natsu, at least in Gwen's opinion, is most likely an "expert" with hidden strengths.
This can be seen in her tactical skills far beyond her and her quick resolution of the Sharpedo incident.
Natsu did not respond to Gwen's insinuations, intentional or unintentional.
According to her words, Natsu thought for a moment and it made sense.
If the St. Annus had been taken so easily, it would have been looted long ago.
So, trust the Alliance.
Since it's not a major event, Natsu is relieved.
"Thank you for letting me know."
Hearing what Natsu meant by "seeing off", Gwen rolled her eyes.
"No, I told you such important information, 'thank you' are you going to drive me away?"
Natsu rubbed the temple.
"So what else do you want?"
"Hmm" Gwen hesitated.
Then state the purpose.
"Help me win this cruise!"
"Help me? I didn't participate in the competition, you should go to your opponent." Natsu was speechless.
He is neither the organizer nor the referee, so how can he influence the outcome of the game?
"I mean, help me analyze my opponent and give me some tactical advice," explained Gwen.
With that said, Natsu understood.
"What about the pay?"
Gwen's eyes widened.
"Isn't it already advanced to you?"
"But I remember you have at least three rounds to win the championship." Natsu spread his hands.
He is fair.
An intelligence for a tactical analysis.
Very reasonable.
Gwen's towering chest heated violently.
After a long time, she said quietly, "The bonus is for you, I just want that thing."
The eyes were filled with resentment.
"Something?" Natsu touched the chin .
He remembered that in addition to the prize of 300,000 Alliance Coins, the champion's reward was a sea chart.
It is precisely because of this that Natsu has little interest in this game.
But now it seems that this chart is the real prize.
Seeing Natsu's hesitant look, Gwen said ill-humoredly: "That thing is of no use to you, it's a Treasure Map at sea."
"Of course, If you'd like to join us, I didn't tell you."
"So you're on board for that chart? Treasure Map?"
"That's part of the reason. But as compensation, I can give you the contact information of our captain." she raised his eyebrows.
The Treasure Map at sea really doesn't work for Natsu.
He is not a pirate, and it is impossible for him to find treasures that are not necessarily there.
As for the contact information.
"Cough, the contact information is fine, the bonus is OK."
Natsu nods and agreed to such a deal.
It would be nice if you could get a bonus of 300,000 Alliance Coins without much effort.
Gwen gave him a deep look.
'If the captain knew she was so unpopular, I don't know how she would react.'
"Before that, you have to let me know what Pokémon you have, What strength are you in, which moves you have mastered, and some basic information about your next opponent."
"Go to the training room?"
"Okay."
The two stand up.
Leaving the room, through the complicated promenade, to the training area at the stern.
Gwen paid a rent of 2,000 Alliance coins and rented a small training ground for two hours.
After entering.
Gwen just threw two Poké Balls.
With red light, two Pokémon are summoned.
Round pink body, cat-like ears and big blue eyes, short limbs, and a tuft of curly hair on top of the head.
Normal Type Pokémon, Jigglypuff.
Two pink tall ears, oval blue-white body, several white spherical patterns of different sizes on the abdomen, white below the abdomen, a long black curved tail, and a blue sphere attached to the end .
Water Type Pokémon Azumarill!
Natsu corner of the mouth twitched looking at Gwen's two Pokémon.
Who said that cute Pokémon wouldn't be ideal in actual combat?
How to explain these two Pokémon?
"Just yay!"
Togepi's body softly trembled in Natsu's arms, clutching Natsu's sleeves tightly.
It feels a strong "threat"!
A huge "threat" that has never been encountered before!
Especially when Natsu's eyes keep falling on these two Pokémons.
