"This is Pegasus Island."
A few days later, a ship approached Pegasus Island.
The ship was small; it was a merchant ship with the emblem of the Flower Kingdom on it.
On the deck, a middle-aged man wearing an open-chested shirt and a rope tied around his waist leaned against the railing, gazing calmly at Pegasus Island as it drew closer.
Ever since returning from Moe Island, Donald has been thinking about Kuro's powerful sword strike. It was such a simple and ordinary strike, yet it was impossible to dodge, impossible to resist, and he didn't even have the courage to withstand it.
After returning to the Flower Country, he was stunned for a long time before picking up the gun and practicing shooting one shot at a time.
But in my mind, the splendor of that single strike remains.
That's amazing!
Although that was the disciple of his master's enemy, someone he needed to avenge.
But that one strike was truly divine!
Donald is a pure martial artist. Proving his master's worth is a martial artist's duty, but following the strong is also a martial artist's choice.
So, he plans to go to Moe Island again. That person is a Marine, so he will join the Marines. He wants to follow such a strong person and see the glory of that one-sword strike again!
"Lord Donald, we've arrived at Pegasus Island."
A businessman spoke respectfully behind him.
Donald is a renowned knight-errant in the Flower Kingdom. He is quite skilled and very serious, and is highly respected by those who frequently go to sea. This is because he is a man who can be easily persuaded to come. Whenever he is in the Flower Kingdom, they usually ask Donald to protect them when they go out to trade.
If Donald hadn't used a gun, the martial arts tournament of the Insect Kingdom might have fallen to the people of the Flower Kingdom.
"Okay, I understand. Where's Kikyo?" Donald nodded and asked.
"Helping in the galley in the aft cabin, I must say, Ms. Kikyo's cooking is really delicious. At first, she wasn't very familiar with the ship, but after cooking a couple of meals, her cooking got better and better. It's really amazing..."
The merchant sighed, "She's gentle and charming, cooks delicious food, and has a great personality. Apart from being a little hard of hearing, she's practically perfect."
Donald expressed some disagreement with this point.
That's not just being a little hard of hearing, it's being so hard of hearing that even he's at his wit's end.
“My name is Donald, and my last name is Don. Donald means that I hope I can embrace good character. Please take care of me.”
"Oh? You say you can hold your liquor? And you want to order more? Sorry, I'm not really interested in alcohol."
This was the first conversation the two had when they first met.
No matter how he tried to correct her, the woman just wouldn't listen. But after talking to her for a whole day, Donald finally couldn't help but yell in her ear so she could hear him.
He had absolutely no temper with this woman.
But this woman was also his employer.
Although the Insect Kingdom and the Flower Kingdom are at war, for a wandering knight like Donald, protecting people and earning rewards is fine no matter which country it is.
Moreover, this was requested by the new king of the Insect Kingdom.
"This woman is finally leaving..."
Normally, if someone can't hear his name clearly, he will make sure that person hears it clearly. In Donald's eyes, names are sacred and meaningful, and exchanging names is a very polite practice.
No one understands the meaning of a name better than him.
But he really had no way to deal with Kikyo.
For the first time in his life, not in a physical confrontation, this serious person was defeated by another serious person.
"I heard that the pirates who used to roam Pegasus Island have been eliminated by the new Navy, and they are also cracking down on pirates in the vicinity. There are hardly any pirates left in the waters near the Twin Horse Kingdom. It is very safe for us merchants."
The merchant glanced at Pegasus Island and said.
"I see. Well, the navy did a good job."
Although Donald had once joined forces with pirates, it didn't mean he would become a pirate. As a wandering knight, he had little interest in the navy or pirates before, and everything he did was based on his own goals.
Even now, his desire to join the Navy is also to follow in the footsteps of that great man.
"I'll go call Miss Kikyo."
As the ship approached Pegasus Island, the merchant summoned Kikyo, and a group of people disembarked at the port as the merchant ship docked.
"That's incredible."
The merchant looked at the bustling town with some surprise. "I've been here once before. It was under the rule of pirates back then, and the environment was terrible. Has it recovered now?"
The town was already quite populated, with residents chatting and laughing, and the streets were filled with stalls. It looked like an ordinary town, no, it was even better than most towns.
Especially upon entering the port, the sheer number of cannons seen along the shore would surely deter most pirate ships from daring to approach rashly.
This place is now a great place to do business.
The merchant stroked his chin, a thoughtful look in his eyes. He wanted to see what was lacking here so that he could bring a batch of goods to trade when he returned, instead of supplying weapons and food to pirates as before.
Although that one is more profitable, it's unstable.
Is this what town is like?
Kikyo looked at the crowds and stalls coming and going on the street with some shock in her eyes, like a country girl suddenly entering a big city.
She had been living in the village for a long time, and it had been a long time since she last visited a town in her home country. She rarely went to towns in her home country, and this town on Pegasus Island was her first time visiting.
The neatly arranged fruits and food included some that Kikyo had never seen before. The spices sold on the other side were so exotic that she could smell them from a distance; they were things she had never used before.
If you use those spices in your cooking, will it have a different flavor?
Kikyo opened her eyes wide, her black pearl-like eyes filled with longing.
"Huh..."
As they stood there watching, a smiling man with glasses, who was greeting the residents, noticed the new wave of people landing.
In the past few days, merchant ships have been landing, which Kro has become accustomed to. But this group of people is different because Kro saw a familiar figure.
Kro waved and led a group of patrolling marines over.
"Kikyo? Why are you here?"
Kro went straight to Kikyo in the crowd and asked loudly.
Kikyo seemed not to hear, and continued to look around with curiosity.
"Platycodon grandiflorus! Platycodon grandiflorus!"
After calling out a few times and seeing that Kikyo didn't respond, Kro pursed his lips. Well, this woman can't hear him.
"Who are you..."
Donald, however, looked at Crow with surprise and doubt.
"Um?"
Kro turned his head and saw the middle-aged man. He looked him up and down, and then noticed the cross-shaped gun that was slung over his shoulder.
"Looks familiar..."
Kro paused for a moment, "Um, what was it called again?"
"My name is Donald, my last name is Tang, I..."
"Stop, stop, stop! Yes, it's you!"
Kro waved his hand, a bit annoyed, and remembered—it was this oddball who kept saying his own name.
What is he doing here?
