"Anytime. But I remember that the Minks live in the New World, and they rarely appear in Paradise and the Four Seas. What are you doing here?" Akira asked.

However, after Pedro explained it, Akira understood.

It turned out that many years ago, to find the Road Poneglyphs, Pedro went to sea with Pekoms, Zepo, Bepo, and others to form the Nox Pirates.

As a result of this, they were chased by the World Government and received bounties.

During a voyage, a mink child who was with him fell into the sea and drifted away accidentally because of a storm.

This child was Bepo, the navigator of the Heart Pirates.

However, for the safety of his tribe, Pedro can only trust his fellow Pekoms and Zepo to look for the Road Poneglyphs while looking for Bepo everywhere.

"I see!"

Akira nodded, thinking that this was an excellent opportunity to have a friendship with Pedro.

So, he said:

"I think I have heard that someone saw a talking white bear in the Paradise. But I don't know if it is the child you are looking for."

When Pedro heard this, a hint of joy rose over his face, and he thanked Akira again, then said:

"A talking white bear?! It should be Bepo. Thank you Akira-san, today is really my lucky day that I met you here."

Akira waved his hand and said with a smile:

"It's the least I can do."

After conversing, Akira waved his hand to leave.

It was an excellent opportunity for Akira to make friends with Pedro. Thus, It will be easy to enter Zou Island in the future.

Seeing Akira preparing to leave, Pedro became a little anxious.

He and Zepo split to find Bepo. And now, Pedro finally got Bepo's news; unfortunately, the Den Den Mushi that he was using to contact Zepo was lost because of the bounty hunters after he failed.

At the time being, he couldn't contact Zepo, and he had no money on him either. So, by seeing Akira who was going away, he gritted his teeth and followed closely.

"Hey, Akira-san, wait for me!"

"Anything else?"

Akira asked quietly.

"It's...just..."

Looking at Pedro, who was hesitating, Akira was amused, but he was indifferent from the outside:

"Speak in straight."

"Um, I don't know if I can stay with you now. I can't get in touch with my tribe right now, so..."

Pedro was a little bit ashamed to ask, but in the end, he said it.

"No problem!"

Akira was overjoyed when he saw that Pedro came on to him and agreed.

"Great!"

Pedro is a powerful pirate. In the future, he will become one of

Whale Forest Guardians, with a bounty of 382 million Bellies.

Although this bounty can only be regarded as average in the New World, this is Paradise, the first half of the Grand Line. If he were not too careless, it would be impossible to be caught by these low-level bounty hunters.

When Pedro heard Akira's consent, he breathed a sigh of relief.

After he was drugged by these three bounty hunters before, although he was awake, he was unable to exert any strength at the time being.

If he encounters some little pirates now, he may not be able to fight.

"When I recover, I will make sure to return Akira-san's favor."

Pedro, as a mink, actually has a certain degree of alertness towards the humans in his heart, but after spending a lot of time with humans outside Zou Island, he got used to behaving like humans.

Akira took Pedro to the inn.

After the two entered the room, they each rested.

...

In the early morning of the second day, Akira was awakened by a burst of noise.

"Akira-san, get up quickly!"

Pedro's voice came from the door.

"What's wrong?"

Akira opened the door, looked at Pedro with an anxious gaze, and asked.

"A group of people came at the door and said they got a score to settle with you!"

"?"

Akira was puzzled but quickly reacted, "Is it because of those three bounty hunters from the last night?"

Pedro nodded.

Akira walked out of the door and stood at the top of the stairs, looking at the group of people in the inn.

In the next moment, Akira jumped from the top of the stairs and walked straight toward the group.

When they saw Akira, the head of the group stepped forward and asked in a deep tone:

"You are the one who killed my three men?"

This man was dressed in a black suit, wearing sunglasses, and his hair was curly.

"Mr. Norton?"

Akira asked.

"Oh? Even with knowing me, and yet you dared to kill my men, it seems you didn't consider me."

A touch of arrogancy appeared in Norton's tone.

"It turned out to be Norton of the Magic Valley!"

"Hey! Is that Norton who has ruined the four towns? I heard that his bounty is 70 million Bellies. When did he come to Whiskey Peak? Why don't we know this?" The people in the inn were whispering.
