Pirate: It’s not a phantom beast, it’s a phantom god!

Chapter 104 Hot Springs and Banquet (Part 2)

The open-air bath exclusively for the former Fore Pirates officers—

"thump!"

"Ah~ so cool!"

Ossi, who entered the pool first, groaned loudly and then began to doggy-paddling in the water.

In the huge women's bath, there were only three of them enjoying the warm spring water.

A group of grown men including Jin were all next door.

"I didn't expect there would be such a large hot spring in the base."

Ou Bei also leaned comfortably against a rock.

"Fenrir is a volcanic island, so it's normal for it to have hot springs."

La did not rush into the water, but instead used the golden hair accessories behind her ears to tie up her long golden hair.

"According to local archives, there are eighty-eight identified hot springs on the entire island.

There are eighteen of them with suitable temperatures and sizes, and this is only the second largest one.”

"It's so big and yet it's only ranked second? What about the biggest one?"

"The largest one is at the foot of the mountain. It's about the size of a football field, and it's very close to the residence of the former captain of the Fore Pirates, where Captain Kaido currently lives."

"Boss Kaido... That's right, a guy of his size does need a bigger hot spring."

Considering Kaido's height of more than seven meters, even the pool in front of him, which is half the size of a playground, would probably seem cramped.

After taking some effort to tie her hair up, La slowly immersed her body in the pool.

……

"Hey!"

wow~
Suddenly a scream broke the silence, and then a splash of water from the fence directly poured onto Ou Bei's face, who was closing her eyes and enjoying the scenery, making her frown immediately.

When I opened my eyes, I saw a red, unidentified object floundering in the water.

"Hey! Ossi, what are you doing?"

"Gurgle gurgle~Puff~"

Osi poked his little head out of the water and said awkwardly:
"I just heard the heated conversation over there and wanted to flip over to take a look~"

"I never thought this bamboo fence would be so slippery..."

"Tsk~"

Oubei was speechless because of Osi's enthusiasm.

You say she doesn't care about her gender... This guy never wears just an open vest or goes shirtless like other pirates, and now he also wraps the bath towel neatly above his chest.

But she cares... This guy usually calls her "Uncle", but just now he actually wanted to go straight to the men's bath.

"I said, can't you just calm down for a while and soak in the hot spring?"

Oubey turned over and faced away from Ossi, seemingly too lazy to look at the other's stupid face.

"Oh my~ You don't know, this opportunity is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"

"What do you mean by once-in-a-lifetime opportunity? Watching a man take a shower? Why haven't I seen that before?"

"No! What's going on here?"

"I'm talking about that guy Jin! He's not a esper, so he's probably just a weakling soaking in the hot spring right now.

If we both go over there now, we can easily pin that guy into the water and beat him up!
How dare he order me around like this these past few days!"

As he said this, Osi used his hands and feet to start moving again.

"Ossie, be quiet and sit down."

"..."

"Oh."

The three of them didn't say anything else, just quietly enjoying this rare leisure time.

……

The scale of this banquet was not as grand as the previous one, and the participants were only the pirates currently on the island and the newly joined people such as Skepgate.

However, although the total number of people was less than 400, the banquet was more formal than last time.

After all, this time they were going to formally introduce the members of the Fore Pirates to the rest of the Beasts, and from now on, everyone would be companions under one banner.

……

As always, Oubei didn't like this noisy environment and just quietly tasted the juice in a remote corner.

On the contrary, Ossi was like a fish in water in this situation. If he was not too small, he would have been singing with Burfat and the others.

But she still didn't dare drink.

……

"Come on, Brother Burfat, don't lose to that brat Ossi!"

"Well done! Big Sister Ossi! You will definitely be able to defeat Big Brother Burfat!"

"Oh, oh, oh! Brother Burfat is paying 1.5 to 1, and Sister Ossi is paying 2 to 1! I'm sure you'll win!"

"I bet five thousand baileys on Brother Burfat to win!"

"I'll give you six thousand!"

"I'm going to beat Big Sister Ossi!"

……

"Hmph! Uncle Burfat, give up! You can't beat me in a battle of strength!"

Osi placed his right hand on the table and glanced provocatively at Burfat across from him, intending to arm wrestle him.

Because of the huge difference in their body shapes, Ossi's small hand was completely wrapped in Burfat's big palm. At first glance, the two men were not in the same weight class at all.

"Ha! Ossi brat! You're two thousand years too early to win against me!"

The fishman on the opposite side also responded with a contemptuous smile.

"Then you're still 20,000 years too early!"

Regardless of the facts, as long as it is the pre-game trash talk session, Oshie will never let anyone get the upper hand with his words.

"Hey! Come on then!"

When the referee saw the two men sit down, he immediately gave the order.

"start!"

"Drink!"*2
Two hands, one big and one small, one thick and one thin, one red and one white, began to exert force at the same time.

But as soon as he started, Burfat was the first to realize that something was wrong. A huge force was bursting out from the palm of his hand!

[Hmm, huh?!]
[Isn't this right?]
Seeing that he was about to be knocked down by a wave without any resistance, he was so shocked that he didn't bother to hold back and immediately summoned all his strength.

Veins bulged on his sturdy arms, and his muscles, which were several times denser than those of ordinary humans, continuously pumped out powerful force.

"Drink!!"

Go all out!

Burfat is unstoppable!

Douyu murlocs are on full fire!

Powerful! Dominant! Strong!!!
His aura at this moment is fifty times stronger than ever before!
Under the powerful force of the murlocs, the balance was broken, and the scales of victory began to gradually tilt towards Ossi... Eh? Wait?!
Ossi?

How could this be? It's impossible.

Burfat watched helplessly as his arm, already twitching slightly from exerting too much force, was still being pushed down uncontrollably...

No!

This can't go on like this!

If he were to be pinned down by a kid who hadn't even grown all his hair in public like this, his career as the reliable big brother of the Beast Pirates would be over.

[In that case, don't blame me for being mean, Ossi!]
The proud Beast Officer, the brave Fighting Fishman, the battle-hardened elder brother of the pirate group—Burfat narrowed his eyes, with a strange light flowing in his eyes, as if he had made up his mind.

"Uh...huh?"

Osi, who was breaking the biscuits with great effort, suddenly felt something touching him under the table and immediately woke up.

[Heh! You're resorting to dirty tricks just because you can't beat me? What a dirty adult~]
No intention of tolerating it!
Fair and just, little Ossi immediately grabbed the thing with his other hand and was about to lift the table.

But as soon as she touched it, the wonderful and familiar touch made her movements pause!
[Hmm? This, this is?!]
[Is this Bailey?! And it's a Skeleton Yukichi worth ten thousand!]
A lot of Baileys have passed through Ossi's hands these days while she was involved in group affairs. She can tell the denomination of the bills just by touching them.

"Well, Ossie, is my strength enough?"

Noticing the strange expression on Ossi's face, Burfat knew that his "out-of-the-box trick" had been initially successful.

"Heh~ It's okay, but you can't beat me with that little strength."

Having said that, Burfat clearly felt that the opponent's strength was a little weaker~
[What a big appetite! This little girl.]
Bear with the pain and take another one...

Well, it’s a little smaller, but still not enough.

Another one!
Another one!
……

As Burfat's money power exploded, Osi's arm was gradually pressed to the table, and he was almost losing.

Almost there!!
The pirates around have started cheering!

"Haha! Ossi, I'm going to use all my strength now!"

Seeing that victory was within reach and he had already paid so much sunk costs, Burfat completely let go.

A handful of banknotes was stuffed directly into Ossie's hands from under the dark table.

And the moment the money left my hand...

"Snapped!"

Ossi's little hands were pressed neatly to the table.

"Oh!!!"*n
"Brother Burfat won!"

"Great!"

"As expected of the big brother of the group!"

"Brother Burfat, we love you!"

……

"Ha, haha~"

Burfat quietly hid his powerless right hand and said with a faint smile:
"How's it going? Your uncle Burfat still has some strength!"

"Indeed, Uncle Burfat is worthy of being the second Baturu of our Beasts Pirates. I am convinced of my defeat!"

Osi clasped his hands together in a gesture of acknowledgment. After all, since he had taken the other person's money, he had to show the right attitude.

Osi had already clicked it quietly. This time he made a profit of 100,000 Baileys without doing anything!

Burfat is really quite wealthy.

This kind of business with zero investment and a hundred thousand profit would make her admit defeat in public, even calling him godfather would not be a bad idea!

[Hey! I've been wronged this time... Ah no, wise Lord, it's really like the clouds have been cleared and the sun has appeared, and birds have soared into the blue sky~]
However, just as everyone was taking advantage of the atmosphere to praise Burfat one after another, a discordant and cold voice was heard.

"It's a pretty foolish show, isn't it, Ossie?"

amount……

As soon as these words were spoken, the cheers around him suddenly stopped.

who?who is it? !
Someone actually dared to question this duel between men...

Many pirates were about to slam the table in protest, but when they saw Oubey speaking, they fell silent.

joke!

The scene of this guy's punch that caused an earthquake not long ago is still vivid in my mind. The power of his punch can kill anyone who touches it and hurt anyone who just touches it. This is no joke.

If we really compare strength, I guess only Kaido can compete with her in the whole group.

Seeing that no one was saying anything, Burfat could only bite the bullet and move forward, hoping to get away with it by laughing...

But there are people who are faster than him.

"Hey! Oubey, stop talking nonsense here!"

Osi slammed the table and shouted:

"I lost this competition wholeheartedly. Uncle won fairly! How can I allow a three-inch-tall, weakling like you to ramble here?"

Her tone was firm, as if she was really speaking up for justice.

"Oh? And that ten in your pocket... Ugh!"

Before he could finish his words, Osi teleported over and covered Ouba's mouth, then winked at him frantically.

Red: [How did you find out?!]
Lan: [Of course I saw it, it's so obvious.]
obvious?

Osi looked back following the other person's gaze and found that from this angle he could see clearly what was under the table.

? !
Tsk! Damn it! I was careless!

Should put a tablecloth next time.

Fortunately, this location is remote and Ou Bei is the only one around.

Hong: [What do you want? Just expose it directly so that you won't find this kind of person again next time.]
Oubey didn't respond, but just stretched out his left hand and seemed to be casually examining his nails.

Red: [Fifty percent! Why don't you just go grab it?!]
Lan: [Aren’t I already grabbing it?]
Hong: [Impossible, 30% at most! No more... Wait, wait, wait, 50%, 50%!]
Seeing that the other party stood up directly and had no intention of bargaining, Osi had no choice but to agree.

Blue: [Ha! Just a little Osiris~]
Reluctantly pulling out five of the still-warm Skeleton Yukichi in his pocket, Osi shakily stuffed the Baileys into Ouba's hands, then turned back to Burfat and the others with a forced smile and said:
"Haha~ That brat, Ouba, just couldn't accept seeing the sister he always admired lose."

"It's okay, I'll just say a few words of comfort."

"I'm so sorry~ I made everyone laugh."

"Yuan, is that so?"

When the pirates heard what Osi said, they were all relieved.

After all, she is just a child under ten years old. It is understandable that she admires her sister in her heart.

"Yes, I told her, everyone knows what kind of person Uncle Burfat is.

How bright is his heart, how upright is his conduct? How could he possibly cooperate with me to play everyone?"

"Yeah yeah."

"Correct."

"Keep drinking, everyone."

"drink!"
