Luo Jie still had a deep impression on "Cigu Island".

It’s not because this chapter is a recognized tearjerker in “One Piece”, it’s mainly because there are no beautiful characters in this plot that can make people shine.

For example, the princess "Viv" from the Alabasta chapter, the blonde angel "Cornis" from the Sky Island chapter, the CP9 undercover "Kalifa" from the Water City chapter, and the gothic lolita "Perona" from the horror barque chapter

", the mermaid girl "Kemi" in the Shampoo Islands chapter, "Boa Hancock" in the Daughter Island chapter, the demon king "Ambrio Ivankov" in the Impel Down chapter...

Wait, did something strange sneak in just now?

In short, you can't blame Luo Jie for being a layman. After all, "One Piece" is too long and has too many characters. Using beautiful women as memory anchors is always more impressive than those weird villains.

As for "Drum Island", which even had an independent theatrical version, the only one who can barely be called a heroine is a 140-year-old old woman.

In fact, Luo Jie refused in his heart, but the helplessness was really uncomfortable... I mean landing on "Cigu Island", what do you think it is?

As the "Beiming Youyu" sailed into the waters near "Cigu Island", the originally warm sea breeze gradually became bitingly cold, and a few snowflakes fell from time to time in the gloomy sky.

"Judging from the photos in the "Island Illustrated Book", this should be "Cigu Island" which is famous for its exquisite medical technology. The island is covered with snow all year round and is a typical winter island. The residents mainly make a living by hunting. The local specialty is a famous

The white fur of the "Labon Rabbit" is quite famous. Because the poor resources cannot support large-scale human settlements, the island has no large towns. All residents are scattered in the form of small villages. The largest village is located in Cixi.

"Grand Horn Village" at the foot of the King's Palace."

"Little Fox Karina" not only has a very high talent for sailing, but also likes to read various miscellaneous books. It can be said that apart from her poor combat ability, she is impeccable as a crew member.

With such a terrifying speed of knowledge absorption and reserve, it is no wonder that in the original work, she becomes a mysterious female phantom thief who can control many pirates at her fingertips.

Luo Jie stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the snow-capped coast, and the plot related to "Cigu Island" quickly flashed in his mind.

In the original work, the main enemy the protagonist group faced on the island was the original king "Valpo" and his army.

To be honest, as the boss of the third island, "Valpo" is so weak that he is not even qualified to put the protagonist group into crisis. He exists purely as a funny character.

Although "Valpo" is just a scumbag, the Devil Fruit [Tenton Fruit] he possesses is indeed a good thing.

In addition to being able to swallow all things, this fruit's most unnatural ability is that it can freely change the shape of the swallowed things or forcefully combine them together regardless of the laws of nature.

In the original work, "Valpo" used this ability to forcibly merge his two most capable men, the sharpshooter "Jace" and the boxer "Chromamon", into "Jesmalimon".

Don't worry about whether the strange creature with four arms, four legs and two heads has fighting ability, just think of it as a fusion!

Later, "Valpo" was transformed into a star by "Luffy" with a punch, and he lived on a small island eating garbage. He also relied on this ability to accidentally create the "Valpo Alloy" with incredible properties, and made a comeback as a

A world-famous rich man.

And regarding this [Tuntun Fruit], there is a little-known hidden thread in the original work.

After the protagonist group landed on "Drum Island", they found that the former king's castle was empty. After asking, they found out that the "Blackbeard Pirates" attacked "Drum Island" half a year ago, and "Valpo" brought a group of henchmen

His subordinates fled by boat overnight, voluntarily abandoning the citizens of "Cigu Island".

Anyone who has read the original work of "One Piece" knows that "Blackbeard Teach", one of the new four emperors in the future, is a very purposeful person and never takes actions without any meaning.

He has been hiding in the "Whitebeard Pirates" for decades, just to use the other party's power to find the most dangerous natural fruit [Darkness Fruit], and then reaped the benefits in the top war, relying on the [Darkness Fruit]

He deprived "Whitebeard Edward" of the [Shock Fruit] and became the only person with dual fruit abilities.

How could such a highly motivated tycoon attack a poor island whose only special products were doctors and furs for no reason?

The only explanation is that "Blackbeard Teach" came for the "Tuntun Fruit", and he is very aware of the huge potential hidden in the "Tuntun Fruit".

There are only three opportunities to extract Devil Fruits given by the system. Except for the [Shadow Fruit] which is the most compatible with Luo Jie, the other two have never had exact targets.

Since I came to "Cigu Island" by such a coincidence, maybe this [Tuntun Fruit] is an arrangement of God's will.

[Bei Ming Youyu] slowly docked in a bay with calm waves. Luo Jie left "Man-Eating Courtesan Red Silk" and "Little Fox Karina" to guard the ship. He only brought "Iron Rod·

"Alita" and the dog "Xiao Ke" flew straight to the highest peak in the center of the island.

"Cigu Island" is named after the drum-shaped peak. The top is as flat as a blanket under the cover of snow. In the middle of the circular mountain top plain stands a huge castle, which was the palace of the Cigu royal family in the past.

Luo Jie had just landed in front of the main entrance of the castle. Dozens of armed guards had already swarmed in from all over the castle, and the black muzzles were all aimed at them.

A burly man wearing a green armored cotton robe and an upright Chinese character raised his hand to stop the soldiers and stepped forward to warn: "This is the Cigu King's Palace. No one else is allowed to approach. You are not aware of this."

Outsiders, please leave quickly!"

Luo Jie naturally knew the identity of this strong man. This man was one of the three cadres under "Valbo", a person with the [Bull Fruit·Bison Form] ability, and the captain of the Ciggu Kingdom Guards "Buffalo Dalton".

He was also the only righteous man who stayed to protect the people when the "Blackbeard Pirates" attacked.

Luo Jie did not want to embarrass this person, and raised his hand to stop "Iron Rod Alita" who was about to try, and said politely: "Captain Dalton, I have heard about your deeds, and I also admire your character...

Well, I might as well say it straight to the point, I am here to overthrow the brutal rule of "Valpo", and I am just a traveler and will not stop at "Drum Island". As long as you are willing, I will support you as the next king."

In the original work, after "Luffy" defeated "Valpo"'s "Homecoming Group", "Buffalo Dalton" became the new king, and he was worthy of trust both in terms of character and ability.

Some of the guards seemed to have some intention, but their consistent obedience made them subconsciously look at the captain "Buffalo Dalton".

The latter sighed heavily and said resolutely: "I, Dalton, was entrusted by the previous king before his death, and vowed to assist the new king in protecting the people. Although the new king's behavior since he ascended the throne is indeed... naughty, I will never

If you do something disloyal and unjust, please leave immediately, otherwise I will use force to expel you!"

Luo Jie knew that it was difficult to explain to such a foolish and loyal person, so he shrugged indifferently and gave "Iron Rod Alita" a "do it" look.

"Iron Rod Alita" was already waiting impatiently. After receiving the signal, he cracked his knuckles and walked into the snow with his long legs and a grin on his face.

Of course, with her current appearance, she can't make a difficult expression like "smiling". Instead, she has a charming and provocative meaning.

"This... this lady, please don't go any further! Otherwise... we will really shoot!"

The exquisite appearance of "Iron Rod Arrita" is extremely lethal to men. In the original work, she once charmed naval soldiers in "Rogg Town" in the East China Sea. These palace guards were even more ruthless to destroy the flowers with their own hands. Many of them

People even lowered the muzzle of their guns for fear of accidentally firing and injuring the stunning beauty in front of them.

"Everyone obeys the order! Fire!"

"Buffalo Dalton" had a stern look on his face. Even though he didn't want to hurt anyone's life, the moment the other party insisted on moving forward, the two sides were already enemies.

Dozens of palace guards were all excited, and reflexively pulled the trigger. Raindrop-like projectiles flew in the muzzle of fire and white smoke.

"Iron Rod Arrita" raised her arms to protect her eyes and rushed forward. All the bullets that landed on her body slid away in all directions. The gorgeous clothes were torn to pieces by the bombardment, but the fair skin underneath was not damaged at all.

"It's just like scratching an itch! Is this all you can do?"

While he was talking, "Iron Rod Arrita" had already rushed into the palace guard team, and slapped a child with his natural power. The scene was as brutal as an out-of-control overloaded garbage truck, and the 100-pound strong man sprayed blood all over the sky.

"Everyone spread out! She is a devil fruit user!"

"Buffalo Dalton" had red eyes and let out a beast-like roar. His already strong and burly body suddenly swelled, thick brown hair grew on his exposed skin, and his sharp-edged Chinese character face turned into a half-human figure.

The appearance of a cow.

Bang!

The snow under the double hooves exploded into a cloud of snow mist. The green-robed tauren moved so fast that only a blurry afterimage was left on the spot. He approached "Iron Rod Alita" almost instantly, with the shovel in his hand.

The strange-shaped weapon swirled with cold light and slashed at the neck as elegant and slender as a swan.

"Iron Rod Arrita" slid back uncontrollably under the force of the slash, and angrily picked up a musket to use as a club, and fought with "Buffalo Dalton".

Both of them used two-handed heavy weapons, and their strength was almost the same. "Buffalo Dalton" had the upper hand in terms of speed, but the [Slippery Fruit]'s effect of being immune to most physical attacks was too buggy.

, fought for dozens of rounds, but not only failed to cause any substantial damage to "Iron Rod Alrita", but "Alrita" seized the opportunity and hit the ribs with the stick, spinning it around.

He fell on the snow and stood up with a shovel in his hand.

"Iron Rod Arrita" threw away the musket that was broken into two pieces, picked up a new one, put it on his shoulder and taunted "Buffalo Dalton" with a finger, saying: "What a pity.

I left my iron rod in "Rogge Town" in the East China Sea, otherwise you would never be injured like this."

"Okay, that's it for now."

Luo Jie suddenly stopped the "Iron Rod Arrita" who was about to pursue the victory. The tall beauty stumbled and almost slid out on the snow without any psychological preparation.

Let "Iron Rod Arrita" take the lead, not to show off his character as a captain, but just to see the true strength of "Arrita".

Although he still couldn't be sure whether this woman was the illegitimate daughter of "Big Mom Charlotte Lingling" and "Hundred Beasts Kaido", he was sure that this woman's bloodline was indeed very special, with brute strength and the ability to transform into an animal.

A tie between people with fruit abilities is not something that ordinary pure-blooded humans can do.

Considering the opponent's astonishing height, which is 7cm taller than "Empress Hancock", it's hard to say which generation in our ancestors has ever produced a toothpick-versus-water-jar warrior.

If this inference is correct, it can also well explain why "Iron Rod Arrita" has been unable to master "Haki" - so far, there is no "Haki" in the original work of "One Piece"

"The giant race.

Seeing Luo Jie walking toward the palace, "Buffalo Dalton" rushed to the road and opened his arms, his eyes stubborn as he refused to give in.

"I know I may not be able to stop a strong man like you, but if you want to enter the palace, please step over my body!"

As soon as he finished speaking, "Buffalo Dalton" suddenly lost Luo Jie's figure in front of his eyes. Then he felt a sharp pain in the back of his neck, rolled his eyes, fell down in the snowdrift, and returned to his human form.

Seeing that the captain, who was highly skilled in martial arts, was knocked down with one move, the rest of the palace guards lost all fighting spirit, dropped their muskets on the ground and ran away in panic.

Luo Jie picked up the shovel-shaped strange weapon of "Buffalo Dalton", weighed it, and threw it to "Iron Rod Alita".

"Take this, let's go meet King Valpo."

I had something to do yesterday and the number of words was not enough for one chapter, so I put them together with today's...
Chapter completed!
