067 Lively Tavern

In the New World, in a small town on an island 

Blackbeard had changed into new clothes but still wore his signature black coat.

Overall, he looked much more handsome. 

If it weren't for the five gold rings with precious stones on his hand, he might not have been able to afford his new clothes.

"I didn't expect your appearance to improve so much just by changing your clothes"

Jewelry Bonney said in admiration after circling Blackbeard.

"Yeah? Too bad I don't have any good-looking women around now!" 

Blackbeard joked with Jewelry Bonney.

"Come on, just look at the five rings on your hand, and you'll know you're not lacking in women." 

Jewelry Bonney didn't believe it. She felt that with Blackbeard's charm, there must be women around him.

But she didn't take it to heart.

"There's a restaurant! Should we go in and have a big meal?"

When Jewelry Bonney saw the tavern, her mouth was already watering, and her appetite suddenly increased.

"Zeehahahaha, I haven't had tavern food in a long time, it's just the right thing to satisfy my hunger!" 

Blackbeard readily agreed after hearing this.

The two entered the tavern. With Blackbeard's current appearance, he could be considered a handsome man, and with Jewelry Bonney by his side, they attracted a lot of attention.

Blackbeard stepped forward and said to the restaurant owner: "Boss, bring us two servings of everything on the menu!"

"Hahahaha! Just what I wanted!" 

Jewelry Bonney was as happy as a child upon hearing this.

As the saying goes, a lot of money is easy to come by, but a confidant is hard to find. As a woman with a big appetite, it's challenging for her to meet like-minded people.

"Good! It'll be ready!" 

After hearing this, the restaurant owner nodded quickly and served the good wine to Blackbeard and Jewelry Bonney first.

After a while, the food arrived one after another.

Blackbeard, much like Jewelry Bonney, turned into a starving ghost, eating the food one after another with a fast speed, they ate without saying a word.

Before long, a towering stack of plates surrounded them.

People in the restaurant were shocked, their jaws dropping at the sight.

Is this extraordinary appetite even human?

Whether it was Blackbeard or Jewelry Bonney, their stomachs seemed like bottomless pits, devouring the food on the table without stopping!

The appetite of the two of them made the chefs in the entire restaurant busy.

"This is the first time I've encountered people with such a big appetite!" 

The restaurant owner exclaimed.

People around him nodded in agreement. 

Soon, a tower of plates piled high on the table.

The stack of plates reached a height even higher than where Blackbeard was seated.

For a while...

"Phew..." 

Blackbeard breathed a long sigh of relief, took a swig from a bottle of wine, and slumped down in the chair.

"Comfortable!" 

Jewelry Bonney also said in a satisfied tone, leaning back in the chair, and smiling at Blackbeard. The love in her eyes was unmistakable.

"Is there food on my face?" 

Blackbeard looked at Jewelry Bonney, who had been staring at him, and touched his face as he asked.

This was just a question he asked deliberately. With his experience, how could he not see that Jewelry Bonney was in love with him?

When a woman likes a man, she becomes completely different from before.

"Yes, I really want to take a bite"

Jewelry Bonney affirmed, then laughed cheerfully. "I really like you more and more; you're just my type."

"A woman can't just say she wants to eat a man, Zeehahaha! Just like a man can't feed a woman" 

Blackbeard laughed loudly after hearing this.

His words directly made the people present laugh.

How could they not understand the meaning behind Blackbeard's words based on their experiences?

"Tch, there must be something hidden in your words" 

Jewelry Bonney rolled her eyes at Blackbeard, not fully understanding the meaning behind his words.

...

The two chatted for a long time. Surprisingly, they didn't ask into each other's life experiences but discussed their favorite things, much like two old friends catching up.

As the two immersed themselves in conversation, the people in the tavern also began discussing recent events.

"Have you heard that the Whitebeard Pirates are preparing for an all-out war against the Blackbeard Pirates?"

"I don't know who's spreading such rumors."

Blackbeard and Jewelry Bonney both changed their expressions after hearing that, they stopped talking, and looked at the people who were talking about Blackbeard pirates

"Did the Whitebeard Pirates do something already?" 

Jewelry Bonney asked the fat man who had just spoken.

"Yes, the Whitebeard Pirates have gathered their forces, and their reinforcements are on the way. The Blackbeard Pirates can't no longer be arrogant right now" 

The fat man said calmly.

"I hope the Blackbeard Pirates can survive though. Have you ever been to their territory, Beehive Island? It is simply a paradise for pirates, with parties, beauties, and weapons everywhere! " 

Another pirate said.

Even after saying that, a sense of incomplete understanding lingered on his face. Clearly, Beehive Island is a place that belongs to pirates like them.

"Yeah, if they didn't want to fight, I could be enjoying myself on Beehive Island right now!" 

Another pirate spoke up on behalf of the Blackbeard Pirates.

"Blackbeard is a despicable villain! The Blackbeard Pirates have been causing trouble in the New World for the past six months. How can you even think that!" 

Bonney's face darkened as she angrily addressed those around her.

Her words silence the tavern instantly, followed by bursts of laughter from the crowd.

"Hahaha, pirates like us don't care for such things!"

"Exactly, we don't care if Blackbeard is bad or not. Thanks to him, I never thought I'd find such a lively island in the New World!"

"That's right, there are no good people among us pirates. Are you a good person? Not me, anyway, hahaha!"

"Hahaha! I'm not a good person either!"

...

"You!" 

Jewelry Bonney got angry as she saw this. She didn't expect these people to say such things. Don't they have any shame?

"Zeehahaha, how can you say such rude things in front of a lady!" 

Blackbeard laughed loudly when he saw this. As he spoke, the people in the restaurant instinctively fell silent.

The aura exuding from Blackbeard now made people know that he was definitely not an ordinary person.

While these pirates may not be the strongest, they still possess keen eyesight, a necessity for survival in the New World.

Blackbeard learned an important news through this group of people.

TO BE CONTINUED

Note: This novel was created before the Egghead arc, so the author doesn't know if Bonney was still a 12 years old girl. So in this story Bonney will likely assume in her twenties.
