The Bizarre Adventure of Pirates

Speaking out at this time is a manifestation of his greatest courage.

"Okay, Diane and Jin, you two please step aside first." Meliodas also put down his wine glass, and his face no longer had the previous ease and satisfaction.

He met Ban's eyes and nodded: "I know this will disappoint you a little, but I am indeed a demon."

As soon as these words were spoken, the whole bar fell silent for a few seconds, and Zhuzhu's snoring seemed particularly loud at this time.

Meliodas asked curiously, "I have confessed to you, Ban. What will you do next? You hate the demon clan so much. Are you going to kill me?"

Brothers killing each other?

Don’t do that kind of thing!

As the drunkenness wore off, Kim and Diane suddenly became nervous.

Ben's chest rose and fell violently, like a volcano about to erupt.

He said "OK, OK, OK" and with a bang, he shook out the nunchaku he was using for self-defense.

"As expected." Meliodas said calmly.

No one knows better than him what the Demon Clan means to this continent.

"M! Li! O! Da! Si!" Ban suddenly jumped up and stabbed out with the nunchaku in his hand as if it were a dagger.

The distance was so close that others had no time to stop it!

Meliodas didn't move.

Now is not the best time to explain. If you have anything to say, wait until Ban calms down.

What no one expected was that Ban's nunchaku only hit Meliodas' heart but did not move forward an inch.

"Why don't you hide?" he asked.

Meliodas: "Why are you hiding? I haven't done anything wrong."

"But you are from the demon clan." Ban's eyes burned with endless hatred, "It was you who took Elaine away."

Jin frowned and seemed to want to say something, but was pulled to the back by Gowther who was watching the show and made a 'hush' gesture.

When Escanor saw this, he also wanted to pull Diane, but unfortunately he failed.

Diane put her hands on her hips and said dissatisfiedly: "Ban, you are too unreasonable!"

"Shut up!" Ben glared at Diane fiercely: "This is between me and the captain now!"

"Hey! You!" Diane was not in a good mood and was about to fight with Ben.

Just then, Jon appeared out of nowhere and grabbed Diane's arm: "Don't make trouble."

"Lord Jon, please give us your judgment!" Diane symbolically resisted a few times, her face flushed, and it was unclear whether she was angry or embarrassed.

"What are you judging? I'm just a passerby." While pulling Diane back, Jon took out a handful of melon seeds and distributed them to the "people" around him in a very friendly manner.

Jin and Escanor didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Gowther, on the other hand, started talking without any psychological burden, waiting to watch the show with a calm face.

Ban was a little annoyed, so he had to suppress his temper and said to the person in front of him: "Any last words?"

"No, because I can see that you don't want to kill me." Meliodas said calmly: "The eyes don't lie, not to mention that you still called me 'Captain' before."

Ban was stunned for a moment, then put down the nunchaku with a wry smile, "Was my performance that obvious?"

"It's not really obvious, but I don't mind being stabbed by you a few times. I think it's probably, possibly, not likely that I will die... If this can make you calm down, that would be great." Meliodas said seriously.

Ben curled his lips, picked up the glass again and took a sip, "If I don't ask about this, how long are you going to keep it from me?"

"There's nothing to say in the first place." Meliodas scratched his brow, "I don't want to, but I just am. What can I do?"

Although he still felt somewhat unhappy inside, Ban did not let his anger get the better of him.

To be honest, he wished to kill all the brutal demons.

But the leader...

Anyway, over the years, he didn't feel that Meliodas showed any anti-human tendencies.

emmmm

It doesn't count during combat.

After all, being kind to your enemies means being cruel to your companions.

"Captain, you are actually a member of the demon clan..." Diane couldn't accept it.

Jin and Escanor had similar expressions.

Gowther pushed up his glasses and suddenly interrupted, "Everyone, please listen to me."

In an instant, all attention was drawn to him.

"It's too early to draw conclusions about whether Meliodas is dangerous. Let's hear what he has to say."

Meliodas blinked. "Speak? I'm not going to say anything, and there's no need to say anything. I am who I am. I will never change, in the past, in the present, and in the future."

If the Demon Clan's reputation wasn't so bad, Meliodas wouldn't have suffered this disaster.

Ban hesitated for a moment and decided to speak truthfully: "Captain, just now..."

After hearing the whole story, Meliodas stroked his smooth chin and said, "That explains it... But Ban, you probably can't kill me. I suggest you try another way."

After saying that, he pointed at Jon, who was eating melon seeds and watching the show nearby, and said, "No matter how you think about it, it's easier to take this guy underground than to kill me, right?"

Qiao was suddenly called out and quickly put the melon seeds in his pocket: "Well, teacher, our Qiao Qiao will not participate in this kind of activity. He doesn't seem very willing."

Ben quickly called out to him, "Wait, Master!"

"Wait, don't think I don't know that's a specific name for pigs." Jon shook his head quickly, "Don't even think about it. I'm not going."

Chapter 737: Departure to the City of the Dead

Don't go.

Just one word: no!

No matter how Ben tried to persuade him, Jon remained firm.

"Please, please, Master, this is the request of my life!" Ban was so anxious that he almost knelt down.

At this time, Meliodas scratched his brows and couldn't help but interjected: "In fact, there is no need to follow the pace of others..."

Ben turned around.

Meliodas said: "Think about it carefully, how can you be sure that the method given by that guy is real and effective? What if you get fooled?"

"But that's the 'Horn of the Goddess'." Ben licked his slightly dry lips and said, "It's a legendary treasure that can make all wishes come true."

"You are the sinner who killed the fairy and gained eternal life by dishonorable means as the legend says." Meliodas laughed, "Everyone here knows that legends are the most unreliable."

Ben didn't know how to refute, so he could only pull Jin over and say, "Hey, say something, don't you want to revive Elaine?"

Jin opened his mouth, but stopped himself from speaking.

He looked at the anxious expression on Ban's face, then scanned the reactions of the people around him, and finally sighed: "Sorry, I want to stand on the side of the captain this time."

"You bastard!" Ban was furious when he found out that his only ally had betrayed him.

He clenched his fists and said word by word: "This is the only chance, no matter what, I will try!"

Jon shook his head, "Another idiot trying to break the boundary between life and death."

Snapping his fingers, he looked at Gowther and said, "Come on, tell our pure love god about the story of Fullmetal Alchemist."

Gaoser pondered for a moment, and spoke in an emotionless tone: "A pair of brothers wanted to use alchemy to revive their dead mother, but they violated a taboo and paid a painful price. The elder brother lost his left leg, and the younger brother lost his entire body..."

"What does that have to do with me!" The story had just begun when it was interrupted by Ben's roar.

"Don't be impatient." Jon waved his hand, signaling Gowther to continue.

Gowther continued, "The elder brother used one arm as a price to attach the younger brother's soul to a suit of armor."

Hearing this, Ban and Jin's expressions changed.

Soul attachment?

"You mean..." Ben looked at Gowther expectantly.

Gowther pushed up his glasses. “Although the story created by Lord Jon takes place in a fictional world, this technology is completely feasible in reality.”

"The prerequisite is to find Elaine's soul." Jon added at the right time.

Ben and Jin looked at each other and said in unison, "City of the Dead!"

According to legend, the 'City of the Dead' is the final destination of all souls.

If nothing unexpected happens, Elaine's soul is there!

"I understand." Ben exhaled the foul air in his chest, "I will go to the City of the Dead now and bring Elaine's soul out!"

"I'll go with you." Jin said firmly, his eyes extremely serious.

Meliodas coughed lightly, "There's no rush for this. The rebellion in the Kingdom of Lyonness has just been quelled, and His Majesty said he wanted to restore our honor."

"That kind of thing is fine." Ben didn't want to buy it.

In his heart, nothing is more important than resurrecting Elaine.

And now that they know their leader is from the demon clan, although they won't let them fight each other, they don't get along as easily as before.

It would be a good thing for this relationship to separate for a while...

"You didn't understand what I meant. I wanted to say that after your reputation is restored, we can use the power of the kingdom to help you go to the City of the Dead." Meliodas put his hands behind his head and said, "Hendrickson and Dreyfuss owed us a huge favor this time. We should repay them."

"I don't need the power of the Kingdom of Lyonness. I'll go with them." Jon raised his hand: "It just so happens that I don't want to attend the banquet here."

"Teacher Jon!"

"Master!"

Ben and Kim were ecstatic.

Hearing this, Meliodas didn't know what to say and could only wish the three of them a safe journey.

Scheduled to depart tomorrow morning.

Ben finally settled down.

He thought about it and decided to talk to Meliodas alone.

The two men left the hall holding their wine glasses.

The rest of the people gathered around Jon, talking at once.

Among them, Diane was very determined and said she wanted to go with Jon.

"Goodbye, you should stay and protect Elizabeth." Jon comforted the giant girl: "The holy war has just begun, and the trouble will come next. Your strength is necessary."

Changing the subject: "Gowther, you should come along too."

"No problem Lord Jon, I'm happy to do it." Gowther said calmly, his words revealing his happiness, but his expression did not change at all.

"Why?" Diane stamped her feet in anger.

Although her size was reduced by John, her strength is still that of a giant.

After a few kicks, the entire tavern began to shake, waking up the sleeping Elizabeth and Piglet.

"There's an earthquake! Mom, save me!" Zhuzhu was so timid that he started shouting to the sky without even understanding the situation.

Elizabeth was also panicked.

Seeing Jon and the others, he relaxed a lot. He rubbed his suddenly 'mutated' eyes and walked over: "What happened?"

"Elizabeth! Please be fair. Lord Jon would rather take Gowther out to play than take me!" Diane threw herself into Elizabeth's arms, feeling the warmth on her chest.

A question mark appeared above Elizabeth's head.

Gowther was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and he said in a flattering tone: "That's great, I can listen to Lord Jon tell some interesting stories again, yeah~"

"Woo, woo, woo! Listen, Elizabeth, I lost to Gowther!" Diane felt more and more aggrieved, and gradually exerted strength in her arms.

Elizabeth felt uncomfortable being pinched by Diane, but strangely, a white light suddenly appeared around her body, blocking the giant girl's unintentional harm.

When others saw this, they all marveled in amazement.
