Chapter 55 - The Newcomer Who Couldn't Be Recognized for a Moment

Today, Adrian didn't do anything else. As the saying goes, a slow and steady approach is best. As long as they aren't discovered, they can take their time to deal with those human traffickers later.

Overall, it felt quite enjoyable to be an anonymou...

Chapter 54

Chapter 54: Tom's Secret Pressure Cooker Bomb

Not everyone was saved; the labels on the display cabinets included not only the prices but also information such as names, ages, and occupations.

Ordinary people were released by Adrian and his group, while those who were former pirates were kept locked up....

Chapter 53

Chapter 53: They Arrived

A white outer garment even bulkier than a spacesuit, possibly due to his bloated figure, a transparent bubble headgear resembling an upright fish tail, Adrian wasn't sure if these high and mighty Celestial Dragons had a different sense of aesthetics from regular people, but to Adrian, this guy w...

Chapter 52: Tom Looks at the Camera

The next morning, the three of them were prepared and applied the invisible ink on their bodies.

It felt okay when applied on their arms and legs, but when applied on their faces and hair, it felt strange. Fortunately, this stuff was as smooth as shower gel, so wherever it was a...

Chapter 51: I'm a Marine, You Know

"For me, whether it's being a Rear Admiral or a Private, any position doesn't really matter. As long as I can protect justice, it's fine! But..."

Kadar finished the remaining half bottle of wine in one breath, and the liquid dribbled down his chin, wetting his beard and soaking i...

Chapter 50

Chapter 50: The Drunken Rear Admiral

To ensure there was enough alcohol, Adrian specifically contacted Guragas to deliver a batch of drinks.

Today, the tavern's business was indeed booming, and it wasn't just his establishment. Bars and restaurants across the Sabaody Archipelago were experiencing a good day.

Chapter 49: Special News

Tom got hit by a fish, smacked a few times by the tail of the fish he had just caught.

No one expected to witness a scene where a cat was hit by a fish in their lifetime. The 60-70 cm fish smacked him in the face, and it looked painful even to watch.

Chapter 48 - Bob and His Five Friends

Island 58, much like Island 59 where Adrian resides, is home to many shipbuilders and coating workers.

If 59GR's buildings and industries are closer to a town, then 58GR is more like the countryside. Not that it's particularly impoverished here, but there...

Chapter 47

Chapter 47 - The Main Character's inexperience became evident

Adrian, who had been waiting foolishly for quite a while, wasn't pleased. With the tavern's fortified defenses, he wasn't afraid of enemies, just of not knowing who the enemy was.

He had thought that once he captured the person who came for the meeting,...

Chapter 46

Chapter 46 - B·W

"Adrian," Artoria wasn't as happy as he had imagined.

"Hmm?"

Artoria asked, "If they don't have a bounty, are you really planning to sell them?"

Adrian thought for a moment, "Probably not. I'll just scare them. If I really sold them, I'd bec...

Chapter 45 - Did You Mention the Million Berry Deposit Before?

The other side remained silent for a moment before responding, "Two hours from now, I will be at the east coast of 50GR for the exchange."

Peterman saw Adrian nod and replied, "No problem."

Click, the call ended.

Chapter 44 - Not Trafficking Humans, Am I?

The strange battle situation left Artoria somewhat puzzled. She had intended to leave a few opponents for Adrian to gain real combat experience, but now they were attacking each other.

Adrian had just dealt with his opponent when he saw five people jumping up s...

Chapter 43

Chapter 43: Knee Struck by Sword and Arrows

People in the human trafficking business usually had some combat abilities. At the very least, they wouldn't be easily taken down by beginners like Adrian. They skillfully raised their knives to block his attacks.

With each strike, Adrian noticed th...

Chapter 42

Chapter 42: Human Trafficking Gang

Today's first guest is someone who eats for free, but he didn't get beaten up.

Because he's Goodman Uncle's son, Bayer. It's his first time coming to play since the tavern opened.

Adrian poured him a glass of fruit juice and asked him to sit...

Chapter 41

Chapter 41: So That Thing Is Called a Handheld Blower

"Up a bit, that's right, a bit more to the left, perfect, apply a bit more pressure... *sigh*"

In the bathroom, Adrian sat on a small stool while Tom, with his two little paws, held a towel and vigorously scrubbed Adrian's back.

Chapter 40: Tom Trembles in Fear

"... She had disheveled hair, pale complexion, dressed all in white, and seemed to always carry a whistling wind with her. Her eyes held endless resentment..."

Adrian intentionally turned off the lights above the bar counter, lit a candle, and imitated the ton...

Chapter 39

Chapter 39: Come On, Fellow Tavern Owners!

After that, a little more time passed, and Adrian's life didn't undergo any significant changes.

Every day, he exercised, drew lottery tickets, managed the shop, and gained quite a collection of tables, chairs, and stools from Tom's home, as well as ...

Chapter 38: How Kindly Someone Smiles to Your Face and How Ruthless They Are Behind Your Back

"Sorry, Uncle Bizzness, but Tom is not a commodity. He won't be sold no matter what." Adrian handed him a tissue to wipe his face and continued, "I'll compensate you for your clothes, but let's not bring up buying To...

Chapter 37

Chapter 37: How Much Is Tom Worth?

The next morning, Adrian still got his milk because Artoria had won it and gave it to him. However, seeing Tom looking sad, Adrian pushed the milk back to him. Tom resisted for a while but eventually accepted half of it.

After a morning workout, Adrian drew ...

Chapter 36

Chapter 36: Did Adrian Hart Float Away, or Can't I Lift the Knife Anymore?

Amidst laughter and cheers, today's business came to an end. As the guests left, they chattered about this and that, knowing that witnessing excitement today meant they'd have gossip or bragging material for tomorrow.

Chapter 35: The Weakest One in the Tavern

At the same time, a broom struck the leader's face, causing him to scream in pain as he fell to the ground. Then, the broom handle jabbed into the belly of the third person, causing him to arch like a shrimp and collapse on the ground.

Adrian was asto...

Chapter 34: Do You Know Who We Are?

"Is this the rumored cat-pianist Tom?"

Guragas, bald, with thick orange beard, and a large beer belly, bore a strong resemblance to the appearance imitated by the phone bug.

His distillery was located on Island 43, not far from the port of ...

Chapter 33

Chapter 33: Den Den Mushi

The idea of treating Tom like a celebrity like Brooke flashed through Adrian's mind, but it was better not to do that until they could afford meals. Besides, Tom might not even like that kind of attention.

The next two days were filled with training, lottery draws, and managing the shop.<...

Chapter 32

Chapter 32: Is the Profit of the Tavern So Low?

Receiving encouragement from Artoria, Adrian's mood +1.

Actually, he wasn't too disheartened. When it came to innate talent, Charlotte Linlin, also known as Big Mom, was the true champion.

Having a body with strong regenerative ...

Chapter 31

Chapter 31: Recovery Ability Seems Off

There is no lunch break; after finishing work, Adrian is about to start his training with Teacher Artoria.

As with yesterday, their sword training continues. Adrian's movements are very precise, but he has learned from the morning's combat experience tha...

Chapter 30: Costume for the Kitty

"Are you kidding me?! A cat playing the piano?!"

When Goodman asked where the musician from earlier was, Tom calmly stepped down from the piano stool, adjusted his bowtie, and elegantly bowed like a gentleman.

The group of shipworkers was utt...

Chapter 29

Chapter 29: Musician

"Smack!" "Ouch!"

The bamboo sword hit Adrian's forehead, and Artoria reprimanded, "Pay attention to blocking!"

"Smack!" "Ah!"

Another strike: "Pay attention to dodging!"

"Smack!" "Hiss~"

"Try to find an o...

Chapter 28: Merlin is not here, no special effects

As usual, Tom is responsible for cooking dinner in the evening. He plans to try all the dishes from the four volumes of "Complete Guide to X Sea Cuisine and Cooking Methods" and then note down the dishes that everyone likes.

Artoria sits upri...

Chapter 27 - Sword Training Controversy

"Let's start by holding the sword properly. Keep your feet stable and grip the hilt like this..."

In the courtyard behind the tavern, Artoria was teaching Adrian and Tom swordsmanship step by step.

Yes, even Tom was learning. His sword ...

Chapter 26 - Adrian Decides to Give Him Face

There was no spectacular clash of conqueror's haki like in the anime, and Shanks' sword didn't turn black. The two of them engaged in a regular swordfight.

If the Wind King Barrier hadn't disappeared and Artoria's sword hadn't revealed its true for...
