Chapter 120: 120. Mysterious Token and the Pirates Gathering

"Wow.... This fish soup tastes so good, Taka." Tyler complimented Taka.

"Oh no... This one was cooked by Darla. She did the whole process." Taka waved his tentacles.

Tyler looked around and Darla was nowhere to be seen.

"She is busy cooking for the servants." Taka said.

"Tell her It is delicious." Tyler drank the whole soup.

"So Taka, what were you saying before?"

"Boss White, I had this one weird customer before. He was bleeding a lot, so the restaurant didn’t allow him in." Taka began to narrate the story.

That day was a busy day. The restaurant was crowded with many people. One boat stopped near the ship. A man with a deep wound on his rib cage dragged his body with difficulty to the restaurant. Blood dropped wherever he walked.

"Oi oi.. How can we eat here when there is a smell of blood?" One of the customers shouted.

Soon the servers blocked his path.

"Just give me some food. I will stay in the boat." The man didn’t make it difficult for them.

"Our chefs are all busy. You have to make a reservation. Even if you did that you have to wait for a week at least." The server said.

"I will wait on that boat." The injured man ignored their words.

"Hey are you even listening?"

"Just gossip about me in the kitchen. The food will deliver itself." The man just said those words and left the confused servers.

They quickly ignored him and went back to work. One of the waiters went to the kitchen, and he talked about the weird man outside.

Taka heard their conversation. He quickly made a small meal and took it.

"Where is that Octopus going?" One of the chefs asked.

"Don’t know. Probably his imaginary customers? Hahaha."

Taka also took an emergency healing kit. He walked towards the boat with the injured man on it.

"Here is your food." Taka placed the plate in front of him.

"Just as I said, the food got delivered." The injured man mumbled .

The man started eating food after thanking Taka.

"Well, let me remind you something, I don’t have a single Lydia on me." The man said.

"You have to say that before eating." Taka retorted, "Well, don’t worry. It’s on my tab."

Taka also wrapped the wound with a bandage.

"You are so kind." The man mumbled.

After eating, the man took a small token. A star shaped token.

"One day you will reach the edge of the world. At that time, use this. It is called Star Gazer." Taka accepted the token. The token was a black star-shaped with violet borders and with small white dots on it. The texture resembles the night sky.

"What is this?" Taka asked but when he looked up, The boat was empty and the man was nowhere to be seen. Taka quickly jumped into the water, thinking that the man drowned. But he couldn’t find his ’body’.

Tyler looked at the Star shaped token in his hand.

"Why are you giving this to me?" Tyler asked.

"Huh... Everyone in the ship is talking about how you emptied all your stocks just to save the ship and the people. You also saved my life. So Gift." Taka scratched his head using his tentacles and said,

"Give me some water." Tyler suddenly said.

Taka was taken back by sudden request but still he obediently took a water jug from the table and poured it. While Taka is not noticing, Tyler places his copper pot back.

"Thank you for the water." Tyler nodded and gave the token back.

"Taka, you are someone who is going to travel with me to the North. So whatever this ’thing’ is, you better take it. Whatever the opportunity is, you should grasp it." Tyler said.

Taka was moved to tears. He thanked him and left. After making sure Taka left, Tyler took an identical token.

"Hmm... I wonder what you are?" Tyler murmured.

Taka walked back to the kitchen. Darla has already finished the Cooking. When she saw Taka, she looked at him nervously.

Taka patted her head.

"He loved it." Taka said three words. Darla nodded in satisfaction and went to work. She needs to make some desserts next.

Tyler’s ship received an amusing visitor. It’s an adventure ship.

The captain of the ship shook Tyler’s hand and whispered, "Please just act like you have less stocks. I have only Little money and I don’t want my crew to know it."

"But we seriously have few stocks left." Tyler replied.

"Aye , that’s what I wanted. Act like that." The captain nodded in satisfaction.

Tyler was dumbfounded. He made copies of more sea shells and hid many stocks just to make the servants believe that they tossed all the stocks out.

Tyler then took a sea shell and gave it to the captain.

"This is the last stock we have." The captain accepted it and gave Tyler a sea shell containing Lydia. The servant who watched this was moved to tears.

"Aww Man... At Least we got these." The captain said to his crew.

"Oh by the way, don’t go that way. I heard that Pirates are gonna have a gathering over the Bill Island. They might be trading the loot they plundered." The captain warned Tyler.

Tyler thanked him.

"Hey captain, did you tell them?" One of the women on the ship asked their adventure group’s captain.

"W-what? N-No... I didn’t say anything." The Captain was agitated like he was caught red handed.

"I mean, about the pirate gathering." The woman said.

"Oh that ... Yeah. I warned them." The captain nodded.

"Then why is their ship moving towards bill island?"

"What the?" The captain looked at the ship confused.

┉┈ ◈ ◉ ◈ ┈┉

"Are we going to the pirate gathering?" Lily asked.

"Yeah... But we will use another identity."

The ship docked at another Island. Tyler instructed Situ to load up the stocks. It will be very easy to store more with lots of seashells in the ship. But Tyler didn’t want to show his wealth. He just wanted to act like a normal merchant.

The Pirates gathering is a normal thing. It is where a group of Pirates gather together to exchange information and loot. There are also some pirates who compete with each other. No one dares to make unnecessary trouble because it’s pirate code. Usually some high level pirates will announce the gathering at a certain island and pirates around the area will gather there.

Most Pirates in the Southern Seas are already on bill island. There are no autochthonous people inhabiting Bill Island. So it was easier for them to make a bustling spot. There was a lot of music, a busy crowd, lots of girls with revealing dresses walking around. Lots of ships with their Jolly Roger on the shore.

"Oh oh. That’s the Green snake pirates. I heard that their bounty is 5 million Lydia." One of the pirates is looking at Higher Bounty Pirates with admiration. He took a sip of wine. There is a small wine seller stall at the shore with some tables.

Then there was a guy who looked very depressed walking with his crew.

"That is Hooker Hogan. I heard he was surrounded by 30 bounty hunters. Somehow he escaped from them. I heard his bounty is now 11 million Lydia." The pirate said to his friend.

"Do you think pirates with 20 million Lydia will attend this gathering?" The friend asked.

"This gathering is arranged by Tank Pirates. They have 18 million Lydia. I doubt these high bounty pirates will even bother to come." The Pirate said.

"Did you find out?" Hooker Hogan asked while sitting on a bench near the shore. He ordered a wine.

"Captain. The ’White Merchant Group’ is not that famous. But there is only one Merchant group that matches with your description. They seem to be going to the edge of the world." His crewmate said.

"To the south, huh ... Then great..." Hooker Hogan Nodded. He decided to travel north. He doesn’t want to meet them ever again. He almost lost most of his crew members due to the bounty hunters’ siege.

"Oii look at that..."

"Hahaha... Who are they?"

Hooker Hogan looked over. A boat is moving towards Bill Island. On the top of the boat Four people are standing with a phantom mask on their face.

"Wow, I didn’t expect you to have lots of these treasure masks." Lily Gomes said mockingly.

"Remember the Oath. Don’t ask." Tyler replied.

"Mana is a pirate now." Mana said.

"Can you please use a different name?" Tyler requested.

"Kana is a pirate now." Mana thought for a second and said.

"Nope.... Let’s come up with some Fierce names. Until then, don’t talk." Tyler shook his head.

Mana pouted but since she was wearing a mask they couldn’t see it.

"Who are they?"

"Some nameless pirates. Or pirates wannabe. They don’t have a jolly Roger. Heck, they don’t even have a ship."

"Maybe they lost it to a sea Titan. Hahahaha."

The Pirates on the shore laughed.

"Th- that that that...." The pirate who is talking about everyone bounty stuttered. Before he could even speak he fell down due to getting over drunk.

"Don’t Provoke them... That’s 30 million Bou---" He murmured slowly and fell asleep. Sadly even his friend nearby couldn’t hear him.
