The Roger Pirates' Rising Star

"I think Tiezhu is a good name!"

"Yuwan sounds better. Didn't Fang Yi fish it out of the sea? So Yuwan is the most suitable!"

"Forget about Yuwan! I think Haizao is better. Look at its dark green fur. Isn't it the same color as seaweed?"

All the pirates were arguing heatedly because of the puppy hatched from the egg that Fang Yi fished out of the sea in the morning. They needed to name it, and the pirates had been arguing about the naming rights for a long time. Fang Yi really wanted to ask them if they were serious about those names.

"Alright, stop arguing!" Finally, Roger, the captain, stopped the pirates. Then, with a serious face, he said, "I think Goudan (a common folksy name for kids or pets in China) is a good name. Isn't it a puppy? And it came out of an egg. So, it's Goudan!"

What the heck! Goudan...

If Fang Yi could beat Roger, he really would've kicked him. Did Roger really understand the name Goudan that way?

In the end, Fang Yi, the owner of the puppy, put forward his own suggestion - Wangcai!

"What a nice name Wangcai is! And look, we're pirates. What do we seek? Isn't it endless treasures? So, naming it Wangcai has a good meaning!" Fang Yi tried to convince the other pirates.

In another world, this name was very popular. But now, in this world, Fang Yi was sure it was a unique name, a symbol of honor!

Sure enough, after hearing Fang Yi's words, most of the pirates nodded involuntarily, feeling that it indeed made sense.

"Tsk!" The only one who was unhappy was Roger. Not using the name he came up with made him extremely annoyed.

"What's the big deal about Wangcai? We're not men who go to sea just for mere treasures. We're after freedom! We're after those unknown adventures! We're answering the call of the pirate flag!" Roger tried to make his last stand and stood up to oppose.

"Right! We're men who answered the call of the pirate flag and set sail! Hahaha... The captain is so right!"

The pirates booed and supported Captain Roger.

"Come on, stop talking nonsense. Since you don't agree with Fang Yi's suggestion, then come up with a more suitable name than Wangcai!" As Fang Yi's teacher, Yamon still had some say in this matter. And most importantly, she wasn't afraid of Roger.

"Fine, I'll come up with one... Since Goudan doesn't work, then... then it'll be Wangwang!" Pushed to the limit, Roger blurted out a name that left Fang Yi stunned.

If he wasn't sure that the person in front of him was really the future Pirate King Roger, Fang Yi would have thought he was his fellow villager.

"Look, the name Fang Yi came up with is just Wangcai. But the one I came up with is different - Wangwang! It means everything will be prosperous! And isn't the puppy's bark 'woof'? It's just right to name it after its bark. Isn't it appropriate? Wangwang that barks 'woof', Wangwang that brings prosperity to everything!" The more Roger talked, the more suitable he thought it was. He almost worshiped himself.

After Roger's explanation, it really seemed that the name "Wangwang" was appropriate. The key was that Fang Yi was also a bit muddled by what Roger said at that time. So, finally, the name of the little dog was settled.

"Wangwang... Come here quickly! I've prepared a big bone for you to eat!" At dinner, a crew member deliberately threw a big meaty bone to Wangwang.

"Wangwang, come and drink milk!" Chef Yao Yi walked over with a small basin of milk and put it in front of Wangwang. After the little dog sniffed it, it happily drank it up.

"Wangwang... Come and play with us!"

"Wangwang..."

"Wangwang..."

After getting the little dog, there was much more joy on the ship. But after a long time, everyone also noticed a problem. Every time they called "Wangwang", people who didn't know would think they were imitating a dog's barking. Every time they called Wangwang, it made them quite embarrassed.

But they had also agreed when the name was chosen. So, besides regretting it, they didn't propose to change Wangwang's name. Later, Fang Yi, who really couldn't stand it anymore, suggested that since Wangwang was still young, they might as well give it a nickname.

As a result, the name "Wangzai" won with the most votes, which almost made Fang Yi feel like he was back in the real world.

It doesn't matter who came up with the name. The important thing is that they finally don't have to be so embarrassed when calling Wangwang.

Anyway, the character "zai" just means small. Now that Wangwang is still young, it's so perfect to call it Wangzai! How reasonable! Right?

In short, after Fang Yi fished up an egg, the number of people fishing on the ship every day increased.

Of course, they didn't catch anything. Even if Fang Yi didn't use the magical bait, he would have the same result as them. So, gradually, the number of people fishing wasn't that large anymore.

"Captain, haven't you given up yet?" Looking at Roger still fishing by the ship's rail, Rayleigh asked with a laugh.

"Humph, I'm sure I can catch something too!" Roger replied with a discontented look.

Most of the other crew members had basically given up. Only Roger still came to fish every day, but he would fall asleep after fishing for just a little while.

"Captain, do you mind if I sit next to you?" After quietly replacing the bait with the magical one, Fang Yi came to Roger's side. His thought was very simple. If he really caught something later, he would just say it was caught by the captain, so as to save Roger from always thinking about it.

After a short while, after using the magical bait, Fang Yi felt that something was coming. Even Wangzai, sleeping on his head, opened his eyes and barked at the water.

"Captain... Did you catch something?" Fang Yi felt that there seemed to be a very large shadow right where their hooks were.

"Whoa~~ Whoa~~ Whoa~~ Here it comes! It must be a biggie!" Seeing this, Roger, who was dozing off, immediately excitedly lifted his fishing rod. Naturally, Fang Yi did the same thing as him, but only Roger's fishing rod came out of the water.

"Wow... Xiaoyi, you caught it!"

Hurry up... Pull it up and see what it is!" Roger was stunned for a moment, then he threw his fishing rod to one side and shouted at Fang Yi.

"I can't do it! Captain, this thing is too heavy. I can't pull it up. Why don't you give it a try?" Fang Yi pulled hard several times, but the fishing rod didn't move an inch. So he had to hand the fishing rod to Captain Roger for help.

"Okay, watch me!" With that, Captain Roger directly took the fishing rod and started to pull on it with all his might.

To be honest, Fang Yi was really worried that the fishing rod would break. However, in Captain Roger's hands, even though it was almost bent into a circle, it didn't break.

"Come out!" With a roar from Captain Roger, a huge zebra-like head emerged from the water, but most of its body was still underwater.

"A... sea beast?" Fang Yi's eyes almost popped out. The magic bait actually hooked a sea beast!

"Wow haha... It's so big. We've got tonight's dinner settled!" Captain Roger wasn't worried at all and seemed extremely happy.

"Captain! How about we let it go... If we go on like this, the boat will capsize!" Fang Yi said fearfully.

"No way!"

"Can't let it go!"

"Watch me!"

Before Captain Roger could reply, the crew members who rushed over after hearing the commotion all roared with their eyes ablaze.

"Bang!" "Whoosh~" Slash! Die! "Woof!"

Immediately afterwards, several people attacked simultaneously, and at the same time, Wangzai, who had been lying atop Fang Yi's head, also rushed out.

"Wangzai, come back!" Fang Yi, who realized that Wangzai had darted out, shouted in panic.

However, before Wangzai could reach the sea beast, the sea beast had already been shot in the head with a bullet, a spear was stuck in its neck, and its body was cut in half by a sword strike.

"Wow haha... Captain, you're amazing! You actually caught such a big meal. We can have a change of diet tonight!" The head chef, Yao Yi, holding two chef's knives in his hands, came over and said with a big laugh.

The surrounding crew members also praised Captain Roger one after another, making Captain Roger laugh proudly.

"Hey~ Little Wangzai is really good! At such a young age, it already knows how to go hunting!" At this time, the crew members noticed Wangzai standing on the sea beast's corpse. So they started to praise Wangzai one by one. Although the little guy had only been with the crew for a short time, it could already roughly understand what they meant.

Knowing that these people were praising it, its little tail kept wagging non-stop, seemingly as proud as Captain Roger.

Only Fang Yi himself seemed not to have come to his senses yet. Such a huge sea beast had been killed in an instant.

After the sea beast was hauled out of the water, the banquet resumed.

"Wow haha..." At the banquet, Captain Roger kept talking about how he had caught the sea beast that they had already eaten. The crew members were drinking while listening to the captain's boasting. Although they knew that a lot of it wasn't true, like the size of the sea beast and how he had single - handedly slain this huge sea beast, but what did it matter? 

Fang Yi was sitting in the corner, stroking Wangzai, who had fallen asleep after being full. He had noticed before that Wangzai was extremely fast. To be honest, even at close range, with his rate of fire, he wasn't necessarily able to hit Wangzai.

This was quite telling. Wangzai was definitely no ordinary puppy. Moreover, a puppy that hatched from an egg while sleeping? Dogs are viviparous, aren't they? When did they become oviparous?

As for the culprit behind the successive events that had caused a stir on the entire ship, Fang Yi felt that he had to pay sufficient attention to the magical fishing bait.

There was still one last portion of the magical fishing bait left in his backpack. He didn't plan to use it casually anymore. Who knew when it might come in handy!

"Yo-hoho~~ Yo~hohoho~~"

"Yo-hoho~~ Yo~hohoho~~"

"Bring Bink's Wine to your side~"

"Like the sea breeze, follow your heart~ Ride the waves~"

When the song of Bink's Wine rang out, Fang Yi knew that the highlight of the banquet had arrived.

Sure enough, everyone began to sing at the top of their lungs, drink in big gulps, and eat meat in large chunks. They took the most thrilling risks and rode the most dangerous waves. This is what pirates are all about.

Looking at the violin placed beside him, Fang Yi had an idea. He picked it up and joined the chorus.

Thanks to his Life Skill: Music, he could use various musical instruments. Although he wasn't very proficient, it was more than enough to handle this kind of chorus. Wangzai, who had woken up, was running and jumping around everyone, seemingly having a great time.
