"It's really easy for me to find a meal. You are really good at running away! Mr. Eben!"

When the Hacksaw Pirates' banquet was at its climax, such a voice came from the side.

"Who?"

Although a banquet was being held, and although everyone was a little groggy due to the wine in in their hands, in just a moment, these pirates had already reacted, and the mist in their eyes dissipated. All that was left was the sharp eyes and ferocious expression.

The sharp sword is unsheathed, and the dry gunpowder is loaded!

Dozens of swords and dozens of muskets were all pointed at the sudden man.

"Oh oh oh, not bad!"

Of course the person coming could not be someone else. It could only be Vlad, who had been wandering around the new world for a long time and was at a loss to find the two people.

"The response has been great, they are all a great group of guys!"

"you--"

Eben's eyes suddenly opened wide, full of surprise.

"You're doing a great job, Eben. I haven't seen you for two years, but you're still a bit of a cool guy!"

"Who are you?"

What Vlad said was not very polite. It was natural to make people angry. Not many pirates had good tempers. Immediately, someone drew a sword and wanted to pounce on Vlad.

"Stop it, idiot!!"

With such a shout in his mouth, Eben rushed forward and kicked away the pirate who wanted to attack Vlad with his sword, "Stop, idiots! He's not an enemy!!!"

"Captain, is he someone you know?"

Someone asked curiously.

"This is --"

Of course, it's not that everyone doesn't know Vlad. In other words, it should be that only a small number of people don't know Vlad. In fact, even after more than two years of ups and downs in the new world, there are still more than 80% of the original crew members on the Hacksaw Pirates' ship, and most of them immediately recognized Vlad after experiencing a brief shock.

Of course they will not forget, this man who made them see the horror of the new world for the first time, this man who showed his unparalleled power.

"Lord Vlad!!"

The most excited person is of course Eben. This man will never forget Vlad. Vlad said that when his name resounds across the sea, he can hang his flag if he still wants!

It has been two years since he sailed in the new world. Eben has no idea of giving up the vow he made back then. In other words, his will has become stronger. In these two years, he has realized what is beyond his reach no matter how hard he tries. With his strength, his limit is here. If he wants to move forward, he and his partners alone can no longer do it.

So he was extremely looking forward to meeting Vlad again, because he was full of confidence in Vlad, extremely strong confidence. This confidence became even stronger after Vlad shocked the sea and became the Shichibukai. He firmly believed that this man would definitely reach the top of the world, and he who was following her would also be able to see the scenery at the top, right?

"It's me! It's me!"

Vlad squatted on the side of the ship, jumped lightly, and jumped to the side of the dining table on the deck. He sat down casually and didn't mind being dirty. He just picked it up from the plate on the table with his hands. A large piece of meat was stuffed into his mouth.

"Oh, I'm really starving to death! I spent a lot of effort trying to find you!"

"Vlad, Captain, are you here to see me?"

Eben looked very excited, and the muscles in the corners of his eyes were trembling.

"Yeah, yeah, I came here specifically to see you and another guy!"

Vlad picked up a bottle of wine and poured it into his mouth. He ate the meat too quickly and choked. He don't think there is anything wrong with Eben's title. After all, he made a promise to make him a member of his affiliated pirate group two years ago. This kind of title is really normal.

"That guy was easy to find. It didn't take much effort to find him. It's you. You can really run! Let me find you more easily!"

"I'm very sorry!"

Eben scratched his head and said with some embarrassment, "Because there was some friction with Whitebeard's pirate group, so——"

"Okay, it's okay,"

Vlad waved his hand and said, "Just think of it as a trip to the New World!"

"What are you doing standing still?"

Vlad was surrounded by a group of people eating in the middle and said in surprise, "Isn't this a banquet? Keep going!"

"Yes!"

Eben shouted excitedly, "Young ones! The party continues!!!"

"Oh oh oh oh!!!!"

Excited shouts rose to the sky!

----------

The moonlight was like water, and the ocean in the New World was rarely as calm as it was today. There were pirates lying on the deck in various directions, and some of them turned over with flushed faces and muttered in their mouths.

Sail with your friends on the endless and magical sea, enjoy the most beautiful scenery, see the most wonderful people, meet the most beautiful girl, and then say goodbye to these beautiful things in a morning with a smile, and then say greetings to the most vicious people. After the victory, they got very drunk with his brothers and friends on a beautiful night, and fell on the deck talking in his sleep.

What a very romantic thing! This is the man of the sea.

"Captain, what do you want to see me for?"

The soft moonlight shone on the two men. Eben sat on the deck, leaning against the side of the ship, with a rosy face, and asked.

"Yeah! It's a very important thing!"

Vlad was sitting on the side of the ship facing the deck, tapping his feet on the ship's hull, "It's very important!"

"Yeah?"

Eben looked very excited, "Great! That's great! I'm really happy to be able to help the captain!"

"Ha, that's good!"

Vlad smiled, "I was worried that you weren't willing to help me!"

"How come! Captain,"

Eben smiled, "I already vowed to join your army two years ago!"

"Okay, that's no problem,"

Vlad smiled, "Then do me two favors!"

"Please tell me!"

Eben said sincerely.

"Go help me kill a pirate group first!"

Vlad said so. 

"Such a thing?"

Eben was surprised, very surprised, and had no idea what Vlad meant. Vlad came all the way to the New World just for something like this?

Could it be that Vlad wanted him to challenge the Yonko? Otherwise, Vlad could do it more easily, and there would be no reason to come all the way to find him.

"Don't worry, he's not a powerful guy!"

Vlad looked up at the moon in the sky and said, "There is no need to really crush it! They will cooperate with you!"

"——?"

Eben is already confused.

"Then, after defeating them,"

Vlad said this,

"Just go join Big Mom's team!"
