Chapter 39 Summer Dragon Festival

The Grand Line cannot be speculated using common sense at all.

The seasons and weather here are ever-changing. One second it was a sunny day with the sun shining brightly, and the next second there might suddenly be a few flashes of lightning in the sky! Yesterday it was a refreshing autumn climate, but today when you wake up you will find that the decks are all covered with water.

Covered by thick white snow.

Maybe you didn't pay attention to the record pointer at a glance, and your course will be reversed 180 degrees. The sea here is like this, whether it is wind, sky, waves or clouds, nothing is credible. The only thing that remains unchanged is the record pointer.

the direction pointed.

…………

Today's weather is spring and it's turning into summer.

The Berger sailed out of the Twin Gorges at the foot of the Upside Down Mountains and headed towards the town of Tanar.

The sun is warm and the sea is calm.

Victor lay leisurely on the deck chair on the edge of the deck with a pillow in one hand, reading boredly with a popular novel about the Grand Line given by Kurokas.

Wu Hongji stood on the deck, with her eyes closed as she drew her sword, trying to find the unforeseen inspiration she had when she fought against the 'Demon Swordsman' Fleming.

Perona sat on the top of the cabin, dangling her slender legs, humming a gloomy song while gnawing on an apple. A large number of ghosts formed a lookout team and hovered over the ship, always monitoring changes in sea currents and weather.

Robin was sitting in the cabin, comparing the charts to sort out information about the islands on their route.

"Brother, turn right 47 degrees."

"Okay, turn right 47 degrees...complete."

Such brief conversations came from time to time on the ship. Under Perona's excellent navigation skills and Victor's exquisite control, the Berger gave full play to its speed advantage and sailed quickly towards the town of Tanar.

The fifth day after setting sail from Twin Gorges.

"Dear passengers of the Berger, please take your luggage and prepare to disembark. Tanar Town has arrived~"

Perona's cheerful voice echoed throughout the Beagle.

Wu Hongji poked her head out of the kitchen: "So fast? Doesn't it mean that the voyage will take at least 8 to 10 days?"

Victor, who was adjusting the sails, smiled slightly: "The Beagle's speed is super first-class. If it weren't for the fact that I was new to the Grand Line and was not familiar with the climate and ocean currents, the trip could be shortened by about 1 day."

Wu Hongji looked at the sea level in the distance, and she could vaguely see the outline of Tanar Town directly in front of her: "Where are the Robins?"

"Hoohohohoho~ She went to get us pocket money."

As soon as he finished speaking, Robin walked out of the cabin carrying his suitcase and said with a smile: "100,000 berry pocket money for each person."

"Oh yeah~~" Perona and Wu Hongji cheered.

Victor smiled: "Everyone, go change clothes and prepare to land."

Not long after, the Berger gradually approached the port of Tanar Town.

Today seems to be an important festival in Tanar Town. There are at least 50 large and small ships parked densely around the port. Colorful banners and festive pennants are hung on the pier, and it is very lively with people.

"Victor, do you need someone to guard the ship?" Wu Hongji put on red and black casual clothes, which were similar to Perona's Gothic skirt.

"No need, just take your belongings and get off the boat."

After everyone disembarked and stood on the dock, Victor flicked his finger, and a 'guiding zipper' flew to the hull of the ship. The power of the Devil Fruit was instantly transmitted to the Beagle and began to transform its form.

"Resin zipper capsule hotel."

Layers of resin zippers arch into a dome, completely covering the entire upper space of the hull without leaving any gaps.

The people passing by stopped involuntarily and stared at this astonishing move in stunned silence. It's not like they had never seen Devil Fruit before, but it was very rare to be able to do this.

This can be regarded as an invisible demonstration and shock.

After completing the 'coating' of the Beagle, Victor hooked his index finger and retracted the 'guide zipper':

"Okay, let's set off. Everyone can move freely and meet at the Beagle in the evening."

Perona and Wu Hongji happily walked together to the famous tourist food street that Robin had explained to them before. Robin followed Victor closely, wanting to secretly enjoy this rare private date.

Victor was also happy to go shopping with Robin. After all, he didn't have any travel tips for Tanar Town, but Robin knew better.

Unlike the Kingdom of Flowers, there are no specialty food stalls on the pier in Tanar Town. Most of them are merchant ships and civilian fishing boats trading or transporting goods.

The two walked straight across the pier. At the end of the pier was a huge round arch covered with ribbons strung with festive pennants.

When approaching the round arched doorway, it was as if the volume control button was suddenly turned to the end, and the bustle of people rushed towards me.

The laughter of adults and children, the smell of food, the colorful ribbons dancing in the sky, and the bustling people on the streets!

Today is the most important festival of the year in Tanar Town - Shalong Festival!

Both sides of the street were filled with crowds, some of them local residents, but more of them foreign tourists. Every stall that smelled of food was crowded with people, and children gathered around the stalls selling festival masks and souvenirs for a long time and refused to leave.

go.

In the center of the road are a long row of exquisite dragon paper models. Each dragon has a different shape, but without exception they are all made with special care. The makers stand in front of their own works and interact with others.

The producers happily exchanged their experiences or explained to the onlookers.

Victor and Robin were infected by the joyful festive atmosphere and walked slowly along the street with smiles on their faces.

"The Summer Dragon Festival is an important festival inherited from ancient times in Tanar Town. Every year at this time, almost every family in the town spontaneously builds paper models of giant dragons and puts them on the street for everyone to enjoy, to commemorate 300 years ago.

The hero who saved the town of Tanal - 'Paper Dragon' Angie Wells."

The two were attracted by the smell of food and stopped in front of a stall. Taking advantage of the time in line, Robin began to explain the customs of Tanar Town to Victor.

"Oh? 'Paper Dragon'? It sounds very powerful." After waiting in line for a while, it was Victor's turn. He spent 400 beli to buy two snacks of 'Bin Bin Prue' and handed one to Robin.

'Bin Bin Pulu' is a grilled sausage with a unique flavor. It is cut into evenly thick slices and placed in a paper box, and then sprinkled with a large amount of yellow mustard sauce and shredded cheese. If the customer likes spicy food, you can also

Get a free thin-tipped chili pepper from the stall. This is the special chili pepper of Tanal Town, 'Mercy Green', which is surprisingly spicy.

Robin thought about it for a moment, but still didn't take the pepper. He stuck a piece of sausage covered in cheese with a bamboo skewer and put it into his mouth. He smiled so much that his big eyes narrowed slightly. The two of them stood in the shade and ate the snack slowly, Luo

Bin continued to explain to Victor:

"'Paper Dragon' Angie Wells, a famous thief 300 years ago, is an origami man who ate the origami fruit. He can fold his body at will and transform into various paper model forms at will, and the paper on his body is also

He can be as tough as a sword. In addition, after he successfully steals, he will leave behind a small animal origami. One day, his hometown of Tanar Town was invaded by the Penguin Pirates led by the great pirate "Emperor Penguin" Di Nabo.

, something suddenly happened and even the garrisoned navy was raided and wiped out by this group of ferocious pirates. At the critical moment, the 'paper dragon' transformed into a paper bird and rushed back to his hometown alone, fighting against thousands of pirate legions alone. The battle ended

In the end, he transformed into a huge paper dragon and defeated all the invaders, but he also died of exhaustion. In order to commemorate this prodigal hero, the people of Tanar Town designated that day as the Summer Dragon Festival

'."

Victor listened with some fascination: "One person fights against an army of a thousand people. Even if it has gone through countless artistic processes, the battle scene at that time must have been amazing... Is this 'Bin Bin Pulu' delicious?"

"Yeah, delicious!" Robin nodded with a smile.

"Let's go, I saw a stall selling drinks in front of me." The two of them walked slowly towards the stall in front of them.

At this time, several men in black wearing festive masks stopped in front of the two of them. The leader, a well-proportioned man, slowly spoke:

"'Vicious Chain' Maffia Victor, can we have a chat?"

Victor raised his eyebrows: "I don't like chatting with guys who hide their heads and show their tails."

Robin was a little panicked, and she subconsciously hid her body behind Victor.

Even without the use of the special information and domineering "Apocalypse" for identification, Victor can guess the identities of the guys on the opposite side.

Cipher Pol, the intelligence agency representing the world government, referred to as CP.
