Chapter 47 If you don't want to die, get out of the labor force!
🕑 Added 2025-04-17 10:42:47 +0000 UTCIn the astonished eyes of the tavern owner, Shamanduo, Kronos led a group of members to the counter.
Seeing this, the surrounding drinkers retreated politely.
Whether it was the silence of the drinkers or their retreat, Kronos observed the scene.
The group arrived at the counter and sat down.
Kronos spoke flatly to the tavern owner.
"Excuse me."
Perhaps it was Erica's influence.
Kronos had a good impression of the tavern.
This impression wasn’t just about the current moment, but about the place as a whole!
So much so that when Kronos found himself in the presence of a group of people, and the once lively tavern became silent, he politely greeted the tavern owner.
Shamanduo was momentarily startled when Kronos greeted her so unexpectedly.
It wasn’t surprising that she froze for a moment.
As she took a second glance at Kronos, her perception of him began to shift.
‘Is he… the leader of this group?’
‘He seems like a good talker.’
‘Uh... but they don’t seem to get along very well.’
Thinking this, Shamanduo couldn’t help but glance at Konan and the others.
After a while, Shamanduo smiled and walked up to Kronos, asking,
"Would you like something to drink?"
"Wine," Kronos responded.
Shamanduo then asked Konan, Gojo Satoru, and the others.
Soon after, Shamanduo handed the drinks to the group.
Kronos lowered his head and drank, lost in thought, recalling something from the past.
But at that moment, he noticed Shamanduo was staring at him.
This made Kronos raise his head and ask in confusion,
"Is something wrong?"
Shamanduo snapped back to reality at Kronos’ words, her face slightly panicked.
Immediately afterward, she waved her hands hurriedly, smiling awkwardly.
"No! No! It’s fine, it’s fine."
"I was just looking at you... You feel a bit familiar."
Kronos looked at Shamanduo, but said nothing.
After some recollection, Kronos was sure he had never seen Shamanduo before!
As Kronos pondered, Shamanduo tentatively asked,
"We… haven’t we met before?"
........
......
At the same time,
The bandit leader, the madman with a bounty of 39 million Berries, Sdeku, led dozens of underlings as they made their way to the front of the tavern in a grandiose manner.
Looking at the tavern before him, Sdeku laughed mockingly.
"Let’s go, little ones!"
"Let’s meet these so-called... pirates!"
With that, Sdeku took the lead, walking confidently toward the tavern.
The bandits following behind him wore savage smiles, striding in with weapons in hand.
Sdeku approached the wooden door, raised his leg, and kicked it hard.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a loud noise, the wooden door of the tavern was violently kicked open.
The drinkers, who had been sitting silently drinking, were startled by the unexpected scene.
The tavern owner, Shamanduo, who had been talking to Kronos, was also startled by the sudden loud noise.
Instinctively, both the tavern owner and the group of drinkers all turned to look.
And there, they saw a figure they were very familiar with already walking in from outside the tavern.
As the bandit leader entrenched on this island, the residents of the town were all too familiar with him!
At this moment, all the drinkers' faces turned pale.
Boundless fear flooded their hearts, and many of them trembled as they held their wine glasses.
"This... this is... a bandit?!"
"Why are they here?!"
"Didn’t they just come a few days ago?"
"Why are they back again today?!"
"Look!! That... that’s the Bandit King, the madman, Sdeku, with a bounty of 39 million Berries!!"
"Why is he here too?!"
"Did someone offend them?!"
Everyone spoke in fear.
At the end of their conversation, they turned their attention to Kronos and the others, who were still drinking with their backs to the bandits.
With the bandits' sudden appearance, and especially the arrival of the bandit king,
If anyone had offended them...
It was likely the group of strangers who had just entered the tavern!
After all, except for them,
Who on the whole island would dare to offend a vicious bandit king like Sdeku, with a bounty of 39 million Berries?!
At this moment, as the drinkers were paralyzed with fear,
Sdeku’s figure came to a halt as he looked around.
Soon, his eyes landed on Kronos and the others, who were still facing away from them.
Looking at Kronos and his group at the counter, Sdeku smiled mockingly.
Arrogant and domineering words spread to every corner of the tavern!
"Except for the pirates, anyone who doesn’t want to die, get out of the way!"
"Otherwise, don’t even think about leaving!"
