8 Barling/An old bar

As jack and Ash went on they reached a land named,"Lock Town" and they stopped there.Jack was feeling hungry and He had some money to eat,so he went with Ash while Ash wanted to drink and not eat much.As they were on their way for food.Ash asked luffy again,"Say Jack,you still haven't told me about why did you became a pirate" Jack smiled and started the story about his past,"I wasn't meant to become a pirate at first but then someone showed up in my life,saved my life and left this hat to me in exchange for a promise... that I will become the pirate king...and that was just the beginning,although it would take more than just a day to explain all my past,you understand right--huh?,where did he went off to" depending on Ash's sense of direction he was lost while talking to Jack. Jack searched for Ash but was unable to find him.Jack was standing near a bar, right now and he saw a board,"Barling" and he sensed that here is, served the drinks."I see,so maybe Ash went here to drink,I will go inside"Jack went inside but found nothing as he expected. No one but an oldman who looked really sad and defeated."say old man,have you seen a white haired young man,here" that old man lifted his face and didn't got mad at all since he sensed that a scum hasn't entered his shop."Boy,what are you looking for?"Jack really didn't notice what oldman was up to,so he replied"I was looking for my crewmate.He is a swordsman and has white ,not too long hair ,have you seen him.Although, this shop looks like it has been abandoned for some reason" the moment the oldman heard the word, crewmate ,he thought of certain someone,"boy you asked me earlier, if this place looks abandoned -well, I'm closing this shop.I'm out of the drinks I want to serve and out of the men,I want to serve the drinks.My drinks weren't common, 22 years ago.I have served the man,you would have heard,GABRIEL BELVONT"Jack got amazed by who oldman is and what he did and he got super excited by it."Hey,old man,tell me a little more about him.I have gotten excited" oldman felt like telling him more about him,so he started,"22 years ago,Gabriel was a regural customer of mine.When it was the last time,he was drinking really happily" :

(22 years ago)

"oldman,give me more rum the whole bottle will do"..."You seemed to be drinking really happily today,Gabriel"..."well,sure I'm.I'm about to take a stroll to King's Line,I'm excited beyond belief"..."Hey,you are going into that sea of evil"..."What?,is there something wrong with that?"..."No,there isn't really...But take my advice,forget about going there,no one has ever come alive from there"...."fufufufufufu!,that's why I'm going there".

(Back to the present)

"After that, he drank the whole place dry and left.Afterwards when I heard that he has conquered the seas and obtained eternel paradise,I was more happy than I should have been at my age.Then 22years after that, he died.And you can see for yourself, the town is filled with nothing but cowards and scums,nowadays.That's why I'm closing this place for good,now.If you want something in the bar,you can ask me."The oldman was really sad but then Jack said something that wiped out his tears of heart and reminded him of Gabriel,"oldman,I'm also going to king's line,I'm going to get the Eternel Paradise and become the free man in the world as Freedom is my desire ,too"the oldman was happy beyond belief and treated him a glass of milk.Both of them were really happy,can't even compare the happiness that who was happier.

Jack was out of the bar,now,saying the oldman farewell and suddenly he remembered that he was looking for his crewmate he instantly climbed the tower near him by teleporting to it and located Ash.From what Jack had seen Ash looked like that he was looking for Jack too,as he was lost, so he aimed his lance at him and threw with force that it got jammed to the ground as it whizzed by his right ear ."Heeeeeeey." he found ash but it is an another matter that ash was aggrieved at Jack for getting separated as his life flashed before his eyes in a split second by the sound of lance

At last the two of them reunited and continued their journey.Leaving from there and filling themselves. Although Jack asked Ash that why he was trying to escape from something, before leaving from there and so Jack found out the reason why he was lost,"I drank the whole place dry but I realized someone took all the money from my pocket,so I ran from there".
