Crocus had an extensive collection of books inside the Lighthouse, which demonstrated his vast medical knowledge.
"You haven't answered my question yet, Akira."
"Ah, sorry, I was a little astonished by seeing your book collection." Akira immediately apologized.
A smile appeared on Crocus's face; apparently, he was satisfied with Akira's attitude.
He did not care about praising his book collection and nodded to Akira, asking him to continue talking.
"The Navy attacked us in Karakuri Island, so we separated."
In short, Akira simply explained what happened with him to Crocus.
"Kid~ it's really rare to be low-key."
Crocus said, laughing loudly.
"Did the newcomer pirates became so great? You have killed the Vice-Admiral as soon as you entered the Grand Line!"
"It was just a coincidence," Akira said flatly.
As soon as Akira has replied, Crocus admired him even more.
Despite of his power, Akira does not show this everywhere; he has a stable mentality far surpassing his peers. Therefore, as long as he does not fall in the middle of his journey, the future world will definitely have a place for this young man in front of him!
"Akira, what is your main goal?" Crocus asked all of a sudden.
"Discovering every inch of this world and becoming the freest person on the sea."
"Well, there was also someone who said something similar to yours."
After listening to Akira's words, Crocus remained silent for a while, recalling his past.
Crocus could never forget his good memories with Roger, and these memories are deeply engraved in his heart.
Even by the death of Roger and the disbanding of Roger Pirates, those with whom he has fought will always remain his partners.
"You mean Gol D. Roger?"
"Oh? You know him?"
Crocus, who was drenched in the old memories, heard Akira's words and looked at him with surprised eyes.
Akira smiled and nodded.
"Great~."
Then, Crocus passionately asked:
"What is the purpose of your return?"
"A Log Pose to the Water 7 City,"
Akira said solemnly.
"To get a new pirate ship!"
Crocus nodded, took out a Log Pose from the drawer, and handed it to him.
"How much it costs?"
Crocus shook his head and said with a smile:
"You have reminded me of some good times in the past, so this Log Pose is free for you."
Akira thought for a moment and nodded in return. Then, said to Crocus, showing a bright smile:
"I am honored with this friendship."
Crocus was startled slightly by Akira's behavior.
After all, he has encountered many people to this day, but now, he has a vague feeling for this boy who was acting like a gentleman in front of him.
He looked at the brilliant smile on Akira's face and the assertive look in his eyes, then nodded, smiling.
Only the exceptionally stronger can possess this kind of self-confidence.
This era has gradually become calm. But it seems a new chaotic era is coming.
Although the Four Yonkos have occupied the new world, it is undeniable that the whitebeard, who is known as the world's strongest man at the time being, is gradually getting older and sick.
Soon, it is inevitable that the pirates will come together and compete.
Therefore, Akira can take advantage of this opportunity and raise his name in this era.
Thinking of this, Crocus took out another small box from under the table and handed it to Akira.
"This is our logbook from back then. It will be useful to you!"
It was raining heavily outside the Lighthouse, and the roar of the thunder interrupted the conversation between the two, but the two still wanted to have a good chat.
"Crocus-San, there is a doctor in my crew. His medical skills are not good, and I hope he can come to you for further training in the future."
Crocus nodded, smiling.
However, Akira has got a lot of information about the first half of the Grand Line, Paradise.
He gradually understood the current situation of the Grand Line.
The first half of the Grand Line is suppressed by the Navy Headquarters. Most pirates are very cautious and will not dare to do too much. Therefore, the people here are not too aggressive to the pirates. After all, the arrival of the pirates has promoted Paradise to a certain extent due to the increase of the commercial transactions between the Four Seas and the Grand Line.
But this is not the case in the second half of the Grand Line because of the existence of the four Yonkos; all the kingdoms have raised the flags of these Yonkos.
Except for a few powerful pirates who can gain a foothold in the new world, other pirates who enter the new world will either be under the command of one of the four Yonkos or desperately leave the new world.
Of course, some pirates challenge the Four Yonkos, relying on their own power. However, most of them sunk into the bottom of the sea and became food to the fish.
