Chapter 292
While drinking wine, he muttered softly:
"Eight hundred million Beli... my eight hundred million Beli..."
Seeing this,
Li Xiao helplessly shook his head
and said:
"Alright, alright, it's just eight hundred million Beli!"
"Add up all the gold on the Sky Island, and it's not just eight hundred million Beli; there's even eight billion Beli!"
Upon hearing these words,
the Straw Hat crew's gazes all turned toward Li Xiao,
their eyes flashing with keen light,
as if they had the four characters "I'm interested" written on their foreheads!
However,
before they could speak to ask,
a voice was heard rising inside the tavern!
"Sky Island? Haha... mmph mmph!"
Before that person could even laugh out loud,
a smoking man beside him hurriedly stepped forward,
and clamped his mouth shut tightly!
Then he forced a smile toward Li Xiao,
and quickly dragged him out of the tavern!
After leaving the tavern,
the smoking man dragged the man who had spoken earlier,
walking to a distance of several dozen meters,
only then stopping!
He threw him aside with a shove,
··· 0 flowers ········
grabbed his collar and scolded angrily:
"Are you new to Magma Town, damn it?"
"Did you forget that battle in town earlier?"
"Don't you remember who that man was?"
"You still dare to mock that person?"
"Who the hell gave you the guts!"
"If you want to die, damn it, don't drag me down with you!"
Hearing these words,
the man who had spoken earlier finally came to his senses,
immediately recalling the sword strike that had severed the sea earlier in his mind,
instantly feeling a wave of dread,
and breaking out in cold sweat all over!
Magma Town is a town where a large number of pirates gather,
located on Jiayadao,
so,
every day countless pirates who have heard the legend of the Sky Island come here to search for the legendary Sky Island!
A pirate like him,
staying inside Magma Town for a long time,
has seen many people wanting to find the Sky Island,
and whenever he meets someone who firmly believes in the existence of the Sky Island,
he cannot help but mock them a few words,
even forming a subconscious habitual reaction!
The reason is very simple:
these pirates were once part of those searching for the Sky Island,
but after searching bitterly for a long time without success,
they lacked the courage to ride the rising sea current and explore the truth between life and death!
Gradually, they lost their fighting spirit and dreams,
spending their days mixing in taverns,
by mocking and denying others' dreams,
to maintain their own meager sense of superiority!
To say it is somewhat ridiculous,
a group of weaklings who have lost their dreams
mocking a group of strong ones who hold dreams in their hearts,
and doing so tirelessly day after day!
Just now,
he heard Li Xiao's words,
and instinctively spoke out to mock,
not even noticing who was speaking!
If not for the smoking man beside him covering his mouth in time,
and pulling him out,
by this time next year,
the grass on his grave would already be three zhang tall!
Thinking of this,
the man who had spoken earlier immediately patted his chest in fear,
and with a look of gratitude, said to the smoking man beside him:
"Brother! Just now, I owe you my life! Otherwise, I would be dead for sure!"
"I, Awang, indeed did not misjudge you; you are my true brother!"
