Chapter 37 _ The second largest shipbuilder in the world

the battle between bit and the golden lion continues. the two are basically you cut me with a knife, and i will cut you with a knife.

of course, they both defended against each other's attacks.

but bit is really on the downside right now. it's not because the golden lion has one more knife than he does, or because he needs to protect esbagu. the current bit is indeed a little worse than the golden lion.

　　" it 's been a long time since i had such an enjoyable fight with someone! " when the two jumped away again, the golden lion said excitedly.

　　" you are indeed a very good swordsman, but that's about it. "

　　"the lion's mighty ground roll! " the ground on both sides of the golden lion was pulled up directly, and rolled into the shape of two lions.

immediately afterwards, two groups of lions made of earth rushed towards bit with thick smoke and dust. bit grabbed the hilt of the sword and slashed the two groups of lions with a half-moon-shaped slash.

immediately after, bit hurried his sword, blocking the golden lion that had already rushed in front of him.

one came prepared, and the other fought hastily. although bit was not injured, he was forced back by the sword of the golden lion.

this time, esbagu was exposed in front of the golden lion. fortunately, bit responded quickly, and he grabbed it again as soon as he stabilized his body. after a while of attacking and not defending, he grabbed esbagu back.

　　" stop! " just when the two were about to fight again, a rough voice came from the direction of the seven waters.

a tall and fat murloc walked over. appears to be a murloc. " golden lion, i am the person you are looking for in the seven waters capital this time. "

　　" oh? " the golden lion tilted his head and tried his best to widen one eye, while his other eye narrowed into a slit.

　　" you're tom the second best shipbuilder on the island? " the golden lion didn't quite believe it. this fat murloc would be an excellent shipbuilder.

　　" yes. i am. " tom said with certainty. " as long as you free carrera, i'll build you a ship! "

　　" sounds like a very good choice. " golden lion said, rubbing his chin. " but why don't i use the best boatman in the seven waters, but the second best from you? "

　　" because i'm a murloc and he's a human, my strength is dozens of times his, and my work efficiency is hundreds of times his! " tom said.

　　" that's it, deal! "

the golden lion charged at tom, but was intercepted by bit again. " tom believes you, but i don't. wouldn't it be better to have number one and number two build ships at the same time! "

　　" hahahahaha! " the golden lion laughed wildly. "a pure swordsman should have a pure heart! i never despise the second! "

while speaking, the ground beneath esbagu's feet swelled, forming the shape of a lion, holding esbagu and flying behind the golden lion.

bit's eyes widened, and he was about to charge with his sword. this time, however, it was the golden lion's turn to intercept bit.

bit was completely unable to break through the golden lion's interception, and could only watch asbagu fly farther and farther.

however, at this time, a huge stick fell from the sky and scattered the mud lions under esbagu's feet. " what's the matter, bit? "

ajin's voice came from not far away, and he also came back.

　　" just in time, ajin. " bit looked at the golden lion and laughed. " protect that child and that uncle murloc. "

　　" hey, is your companion here? " the golden lion glanced at the monkeys approaching here, " it looks like we're going to work harder! "

as he spoke, the golden lion's attack became more and more severe, and bit's response became more and more reluctant.

suddenly, the ground beneath bit's feet shook. bit lost his focus all of a sudden. bit was lured by the golden lion to where the golden lion had just stepped on.

the golden lion grinned and slashed at bit, who was temporarily unable to resist. it was too late for bit to return the sword, so he had to mobilize his armed arrogance to protect himself, trying to resist these two slashes.

the golden lion's slash still hadn't come down. because in this short moment, there were several gunshots in the distance.

the golden lion's sword blocked the incoming bullet. bit also took advantage of this gap to adjust his center of gravity, and set up his stance from the beginning.

　　" your companions are good, do you want to join my flying sky pirates? " golden lion now thinks this pirate group is a bit interesting.

　　" sorry, we're not interested in your pirate group. " three people walked slowly not far away. it was the young man in the straw hat who spoke.

　　" that's such a pity. " the golden lion looked regretful. he looked up at the sky. well, it's almost time for dinner.

　　" that's it for today, " said the golden lion with an unfinished expression. " but i'll be back. " after he looked around the crowd with a smile, he flew straight into the sky and flew into the distance.

bit stared at the golden lion flying into the distance, and shook his head regretfully. " still inexperienced! "

　　" what's the matter, bit? " roger walked over to bit and asked.

　　" that man was the golden lion, and for some unknown reason, he came to this island to hunt down the shipbuilder. "

　　"the child's father, carrera, is the most famous shipbuilder on the island. he was also captured by the golden lion. "

　　" then … that child is …" ajin said, looking at esbagu, who was still unable to stand up because of the scars.

　　" he came to the golden lion to ask for his father, a little boy with a strong backbone. " bit explained to akin, looking at esbagu.

　　" by the way, captain, i promised to help him rescue his father. "

　　" ah, it doesn't matter. i don't like that lion-like guy anyway. " roger carried the cash box to their dilapidated pirate ship.

　　" let's get on the boat. we'll set off when nusi and the others come back. "

　　" do you know where the golden lion is? "bit asked, looking at rayleigh.

　　" we met a lot of pirates along the way who were messing around in the city, and they were all asking about the whereabouts of the shipbuilder. " rayleigh explained to bit why roger was so angry with the golden lion.

　　" we also asked where they were going. "

　　" wait a minute! " tom suddenly called out to roger's group who were walking towards the ship.

everyone stopped and turned to look at tom who stopped them.

　　" your ship is too old to go out to sea tonight. tonight, akula ragnar, the god of tsunami water, will hit the seven waters. " tom's voice was full of anger.

　　" if you don't dislike it, please wait a little night. i will build you a ship, a ship that can withstand any wind and waves in the world! "

after listening to tom's words, roger turned to look at esbagu.

esbagu noticed roger's gaze, bared his teeth in pain, and showed a smile in front of him. it hurts his heart to move a little now.

after getting esbagu's response, roger turned to look at tom. " then please, uncle murloc. "
