Leaving Whiskey Peak Island, the Mellie sets sail again!
…
"Viv is the princess of Alabasta?!"
"We have now become enemies with Crocodile, one of the King's Seven Warlords?!"
On the deck, Sanji, who was dragged aboard by Luffy, had messy blond hair, Usopp had a crooked nose, and the two of them were confused. There was obviously a lively banquet last night, but why did the world wake up when they woke up?
Everything has changed.
We slept all night, how much did we miss?!
"There was a fight and you didn't wake me up?" Sanji pressed Zoro's forehead in displeasure, "Green algae head! You robbed your opponent, didn't you?"
"Ah?" Zoro was unhappy, "I'm so drunk, why do I have the nerve to complain?"
Robin finished listening to Luffy, Nami, and Chopper who also participated in the battle last night. Chopper didn't drink last night, so naturally he wouldn't be drunk. When he heard the fight outside, he ran out in panic and got involved in the big fight.
From the narration of the melee, I probably understood the whole story.
She sorted it out: "The waitress is actually a princess from Alabasta. Undercover, she entered an organization called Baroque Walter and found out that the boss behind them was Crocodile, one of the Seven Sea Warriors under the King, and Crocodile
Dar is the mastermind behind the civil turmoil and even revolution in Alabasta. Finally, last night, Luffy and Nami agreed to help the waitress return to Alabasta...is that right?"
Usopp looked amazed, "Although you have made the matter clear, Robin, why do you still look so calm even when you mention Crocodile?!"
Nami also nodded with lingering fear, "Yes, yes, Sister Robin, that is the King's Shichibukai! I didn't expect that we would be targeted by such a scary guy just after we entered the Grand Line..."
Last night, several killers from the Baroque Society had taken down their portraits. Even if they didn't help Weiwei return to Alabasta, there was no doubt that they had been targeted by Baroque.
Luffy crossed his arms and said indifferently: "What does it matter? Sooner or later, I will face that kind of guy anyway!"
"Yeah," Sauron chuckled, "How can you be the world's greatest swordsman if you don't kill a guy of this level..."
Robin looked at Luffy, Zoro, Sanji... and said noncommittally: "The Shichibukai are indeed nothing special. However, Crocodile is a natural-type ability user. If you want to defeat him, you must not master the weapon color."
Domineering... doesn't have much chance of winning."
"Domineering? Natural type?"
Zoro, Sanji, Usopp, and even Luffy all tilted their heads in neat movements, and a question mark slowly appeared on their heads.
"B.I.B" is speechless. Those three doubts are understandable. Why are you joining in the fun, Luffy?
Luffy laughed and asked: "I know the armor color, but what is the natural color?"
The order here is also reversed... "B.I.B" and Robin were both dumbfounded. Luffy's pace of growth is so strange. He mastered the Overlord color first, but not only did he not get started with the armed color, he also didn't even understand the most basic devil fruit classification.
Not sure yet.
Therefore, Robin gave a concise introduction, from the three series classification of devil fruits to the three color classification of domineering.
Although in Lynch's concept of domineering cultivation, domineering is domineering. Whether it is armed color, knowledge color or overlord color, they are just techniques with different difficulty levels and application directions. They are still the same thing in essence.
However, for Luffy, Zoro, Sanji and others who did not have the conditions to systematically learn Lynch's experience of Haki, Robin did not need to make extravagant remarks to them and simply used the commonly spread Haki classification to popularize science.
.
It was also because of this that Zoro, Sanji, Usopp and others learned about Luffy's unique ability to intimidate for the first time.
The "qualification of a king" that only one among millions of people can possess...
Although I knew that this idiot captain was actually very powerful, I didn’t expect... to be so powerful?!
On the side, Weiwei suddenly seemed to have thought of something, and looked at Robin Cope's domineering and devil fruit side face in surprise. It always felt like I had seen her face somewhere before...
In addition, the name Robin is also...
Did you recognize him? "B.I.B" stood in front of Weiwei to observe.
"Ah!!!!" Weiwei was suddenly so frightened that her eyes almost popped out, "What is it??!!!" Karu, the running duck next to her, also had the same stunned expression.
.
"I'm sorry..." The narrow eyes on the dark visor shimmered and disappeared in the air. "I accidentally materialized..."
It must be intentional...
Others on the ship looked at the dark helmet that disappeared again.
Weiwei burst into tears, "Everything on this pirate ship is so strange..."
"Hahaha!" Luffy laughed, "That's how interesting it is."
"Yes, it is magnetically attracted to Cactus Island, and it is our next destination island... the one in front!"
The Meili slowly sailed into a channel that extended into the island.
On the deck, Weiwei was a little nervous, "Be careful, the atmosphere on this island feels very solemn..." Usopp was startled, "Could there be a monster appearing?!" Sanji held a cigarette in his mouth, "Isn't that just right?
Well, we need to replenish food on the ship anyway."
The jungles on both sides of the seaway are deep and dark, with tall and simple trees, like a secret land.
"Look!" Nami looked at the shore in surprise, "I have never seen these plants in the illustrated book..." Chopper's eyes also shone, "Maybe we can find rare herbs!"
Suddenly, a whistling sound passed above their heads. Sauron looked up and saw a giant bird with a wingspan of more than forty meters flying over their heads. Soon, a low roar came from the depths of the jungle, and the earth trembled slightly.
A colorful tiger that was several times the size of normal conditions fell on the other side covered in blood, dead. Nami panicked and said: "Something is wrong, something is wrong! There is something wrong with this island... We are still here
Let’s wait until the magnetic storage ends on the ship? Then leave this place as soon as possible.”
"You said it too late, Nami." Zoro tapped the straw hat next to him with the word "Wado", "I'm afraid it's impossible to prevent this guy from landing on this island."
Nami burst into tears, "That's right!"
"Sanji, I want a pirate bento!" Luffy shouted excitedly, "I smell adventure!!!!"
"It's too chaotic..." Usopp cried with Nami.
"You do need to be careful."
Robin walked to the bow of the ship and looked at the deep jungle of the island from a distance. "In addition to many large animals on the island, there are also two... humanoids of this size who are both over 20 meters tall.
Could it be that the creature is a race of giants?"
"Giants?!!"
Usopp and Luffy turned to look at Robin who was speaking with their eyes flashing wildly.
Taking the pirate bento, Luffy and Usopp rushed into the deep forest of the island. Usopp's excited and nervous voice could be heard faintly: "Luffy, you have to protect me..."
"Really, if you were scared, why did you follow Luffy?" Nami sighed silently.
Robin also jumped off the boat, "I also want to take a walk. I'll do some research by the way..." After all, her job is not a pirate, but an archaeologist and historian. Seeing such an ancient island is very exciting.
The impulse to research can also temporarily divert some thoughts.
"Me too!" Chopper raised his hooves, put on his backpack and followed Robin, "There are so many rare plants here, I'm really looking forward to it."
"..." Weiwei looked at Robin's back and suddenly shouted: "Wait for me!" She turned over and jumped off the boat, "Karu, follow me."
"Uh..." So many people ran away in the blink of an eye. Nami was quite speechless. She quickly jumped off the boat and followed Robin, Chopper and Vivi. "Sister Robin, wait for me." It always felt like she was staying there.
Next to Sister Robin, I feel much more at ease than other unreliable ones!
"The three beauties on the boat have all landed on the island. As a knight, I can't just sit idly by and ignore them." Sanji straightened his tie, jumped off the boat with heart-broken eyes, and squirmed to follow, "
Sister Robin ~ Miss Nami ~ Vivi." Chopper was so angry, "Only me was missed?!" Sanji laughed, "Would you like to make marshmallows for you today?" Chopper's eyes were filled with stars and he was drooling, "Yes.
!" Several people gradually walked into the jungle.
Robin looked back and saw the black armor floating cross-legged on the deck, wrapped in a ball of dark flame-like energy, practicing silently.
…
"Knight? Aren't you a chef?"
Sauron shook his head, turned around and sat down by the side of the boat. He originally wanted to take a walk, but in a blink of an eye he was the only one left on the boat, so he simply stayed to watch the boat.
"B.I.B" originally thought that this guy would lie down and fall asleep instantly like Nobi Nobita, but after a while, he turned around and saw that Zoro was still leaning on the fence with his hands on his pillow, his legs crossed, his eyes open and his face calm.
Three knives were placed quietly across his bellyband.
"What are you thinking about?" The dark helmet suddenly appeared in front of Sauron's eyes, scaring him with a black line, "Why are you so cold and scary?!"
"Huh?" The black helmet tilted his head and stared at the gaffeed young swordsman with his narrow eyes, "You kept staring so hard that you didn't sleep. I thought you knew I was on the ship."
"How would I know?"
Zoro bared his teeth, rubbed his short green hair, looked at the white clouds floating in the sky, and said to himself, "Didn't you say that only by mastering the domineering power of seeing and hearing can I actively sense your existence...
"
"It seems you care about this very much." The black helmet was dangling in front of Sauron's eyes.
"It's not just me..." Zoro pressed the three knives lying horizontally on his legs. A gust of wind blew the three earrings in his left ear to sway slightly. He said calmly, "Curly-browed cook, Usopp, and
Chopper, everyone is the same... Since we can only protect our partners by mastering some domineering power, let alone not hold them back, then we have to master it as soon as possible." The young swordsman smiled slightly, "Robin, didn't you say so domineering?
, is a kind of power hidden in everyone. Isn’t this the fairest thing?”
"What a touching speech." The black helmet said, "I almost want to cry. Unfortunately, I am just an armor and don't have this function."
"Don't come here!" Zoro's face turned red, he raised the word "Hedao" and typed it out. He didn't have any domineering attitude, so of course it came up empty.
However, the dark mecha palms with flame patterns grasped Hedao Yiji.
"This sword is one of the twenty-one skills of Wadou Ichimonji and the Great Knife. Is that right?"
With a "clang" sound, "B.I.B" took out the sword from its sheath, revealing a few inches of its shiny blade with a cold light.
"Yes." Zoro said, "The knife my master entrusted to me is my treasure."
The dark helmet was floating in the air, and his narrow eyes were glowing, staring at Zoro, "Even if we understand it literally, 'Wado', 'Ichimonji', the name of this sword is obviously related to Waka.
State-owned enterprises are inextricably linked..."
Zoro was surprised, "Wano Country, you mean the rumored closed country of samurai?"
"What is your master's name?" "B.I.B" asked. Well, I asked knowingly.
Zoro said: "Shigezuki Koushiro."
"B.I.B" said: "The noble surname of one of the major lords in Wano is Shigetsuki. Haki is called 'Flowing Sakura' by the samurai of Wano. However, samurai are not specialized in it."
Instead of practicing Ryukakura, you should concentrate on improving the way of swordsmanship, or... integrate the practice of domineering into the improvement of swordsmanship... Zoro, I think your master, Shigetsuki Koushiro, has already passed everything about 'Ryuying'.
Swordsmanship has become part of your cognition. You just haven't really touched it through the breakthrough of swordsmanship..."
"Zoron, there is a swordsmanship in this world that can cut through steel, but cannot even cut through paper... You will understand this later..."
Zoro's eyes narrowed, and he suddenly recalled a suggestion from his master that seemed to be unintentional.
At that time, I was confused, but now with the guidance of "B.I.B", I felt a refreshing feeling of clearing away the clouds and seeing the bright moon, and everything suddenly became clear!
I see!
…
"This is...a rare three-leaf clover."
In the dense forest of the Ancient Island, Robin squatted on the roadside, observing the rare plants on the roadside with Chopper.
Sanji looked happy and courted Nami and Vivi.
"Nami." Robin said suddenly.
"Huh?" Nami kept fanning her hands. Since just now, mosquitoes have been flying around.
An arm suddenly grew on her shoulder, stretched out like lightning, and pinched the "mosquitoes" flying around Nami.
Robin observed closely: "Caschia... I didn't expect that there are such poisonous insects on this island."
"Poisonous insect?!" Nami was shocked, and Vivi, especially Sanji, was even more shocked.
Chopper was also surprised and told them: "This is a poisonous flea that lives in hot and humid jungles. After being stung by it, bacteria will enter through the wound. The human body will only feel slight discomfort initially, but
After five days of incubation, the symptoms will really break out, with a high fever of 40 degrees, severe infections, myocarditis, arteritis, encephalitis, etc..."
Every time the reindeer said something, Nami's face turned paler, especially when Robin added expressionlessly: "It will be quite painful to die. By the fifth day, it will probably be worse than death..."
"Nami!" Weiwei was very nervous and quickly groped Nami's body to check if there were any traces of bites.
Sanji quickly took off his black suit and put it on Nami, who was only wearing a navel-baring suspender belt. "I will protect you. No bugs will be able to get close to you!"
"Thank you, Sanji-kun." Nami was a little touched.
Sanji was rewarded by this look and his whole body was on fire. He kicked his legs rapidly in the air with excitement, as if he wanted to kick all the mosquitoes and fleas on the island to death.
"I'm going to warn others to be careful."
Not daring to delay, Chopper transformed into a reindeer and ran away to find Luffy, Usopp and the others.
Even if it has backup antibiotics, if everyone on the ship is bitten, it won’t be enough!
Weiwei said nervously: "It's better to find a place..."
"Is it right in front?" Nami groaned and pointed forward.
Sanji and Robin looked up. In the jungle ahead, for some reason, there was a white... small house? It was boxy and did not match the style of the surrounding primitive jungle at all.
…
"Is this a candle?"
After walking into the strange white hut in the jungle, Robin touched the wall with his fingertips and twisted it.
"There are tablecloths and baskets in the room..." Nami, wearing a black suit, sat on a white chair in the white room and looked around in surprise.
"There's also a pot of hot tea!"
Sanji reached out and approached the teapot on the table and felt a surge of heat, "It seems that the owner of this cabin has not been away for long... Miss Nami, do you want some tea?"
"Thank you." Nami nodded.
Sanji happily placed four teacups, poured them for the three ladies first, and then poured himself a cup of hot tea.
"Are you okay?" Robin and Vivi sat next to Nami.
"I don't feel any discomfort..." Nami shook her head and said thankfully, "I probably wasn't bitten by that bug."
Sanji drank tea and said: "To be on the safe side, let's observe for a while."
The ladies all agreed, chatting and drinking tea.
After all, she is a princess of a country who dares to sneak into the bounty hunter organization and work undercover... Robin drank tea and noticed that Weiwei peeked at him from time to time. He felt a little clear in his heart. It was probably that the princess was a little suspicious of his identity...
Although she has not appeared as Nicole Robin for about ten years, and there has been no news about her for many years, the old reward orders from back then are still circulating in the sea...
"Bulu, bulu, bola..."
The four of them were drinking tea when suddenly a soft sound came from the corner. The sound seemed familiar.
"Oh, isn't this a phone bug?" Sanji casually raised his foot and opened the basket in the corner. He looked surprised and pulled out an interesting thing from it, "It's so fat! It seems that the communication range is very long.
A wide range of types.”
He was about to pick up the phone receiver when he saw Weiwei's eyes widened and she shouted: "Wait! Don't answer it yet!"
"What's wrong?" Sanji was surprised and pressed the receiver of the phone bug that kept calling.
""Mr.3"..." Robin looked at the words written on the side of the phone's worm shell and said slowly while drinking tea, "If I remember correctly, this is the name of a senior cadre in Baroque Works that the princess said
Code format."
"In other words, this cabin is the base of Baroque people?!"
Sanji and Nami were shocked and looked at Vivi, who had a serious look on her face. The latter nodded slowly, "Take it."
Sanji put his hand on his face and answered the phone calmly, "Hello, this is Mr. 3, who are you?"
The phone bug's face instantly turned into a cold dead fish eye, and he said coldly: "Have you lost your head, Mr. 3! Don't forget, you haven't reported to me yet... I am Mr. 0
!”
Mr.0!
On the other side of the phone worm, is King Shichibukai, Crocodile?
Nami and Sanji were shocked. Looking at Vivi's reaction, it turned out that her pupils were tightened and she was very nervous. Vivi pursed her lips and nodded to Sanji, indicating him to continue the call. At the same time, she said to Nami and Luo
Bin shook his head and everyone tried to stay quiet.
Crocodile's voice came from the phone bug: "I have conveyed the instructions to you for several days, Mr. 3, how is the matter handled? Have you killed the Straw Hats and Princess Vivi?"
Sanji chewed his cigarette, smiled slightly, leaned on the back of the wax sofa, and said calmly: "Ah, um, there are just a few rookie pirates who have just entered the Grand Line and a delicate and beautiful princess. I have already
Kill them. Don’t worry, no one will know the secrets of our society anymore. You don’t need to send people over to assassinate them anymore, Mr.0.”
"That's good. Thank you for your hard work." The phone bug said slowly, "Now the unlucky duo is heading to your place. They want to confirm that you have completed the mission and give you a permanent pointer to Alabasta.
"
An unlucky duo? Sanji was confused. He turned around and saw that Robin pointed to him at the window of the white wax house. He saw a standing sea otter and a bald bird with arms growing out of them.
Overcome instantly.
As expected of Sister Robin! Sanji gave Robin a thumbs up and heard the Sand Crocodile on the other end of the phone continue: "After you get the pointer, immediately talk to Miss Golden Week (same code name, another person)
Come to Alabasta. The time is ripe. Now we have to start an important operation for us. Details will be given to you after everyone arrives in Alabasta..."
Soon, the communication ended. Sanji put down the phone's receiver and said, "It seems that this time, the Baroque Working Group plans to mobilize all its cadres to Alabasta for some kind of big operation..."
He couldn't help but look at Weiwei, the princess of his own country who was targeted by the powerful organization led by the Shichibukai... But he saw Weiwei biting her lip. Although she was nervous and scared, even if she bit her lip and it bled,
He didn't say any weak words.
She is so strong! Nami saw it clearly from the sidelines, stretched out her arms to hug Weiwei and patted her, admiring her heart.
Robin picked up the Alabasta permanent pointer sent by the unconscious duo, looked at the pointer inside the glass cover that was motionless and pointed to the distance, and said thoughtfully: "A King Shichibukai who has been famous for many years...
…What exactly did he get in Alabasta that he did not hesitate to organize such a secret organization? Moreover, he himself has been active in the Kingdom of Alabasta for many years and has developed a considerable reputation..."
Sanji said: "Does he want to get the throne of Alabasta?"
"Your Majesty, the Shichibukai, are legal pirates. When it comes to becoming a king, it doesn't seem impossible..." Nami hesitated.
"No!" Weiwei raised her head and shook her head, "This possibility is very small..."
"Why?" Sanji and Nami don't quite understand. Why is Vivi so sure?
"Because of Vivi's last name." Robin placed the permanent pointer on the wax table and pushed it in front of Nami, "Nefertari."
Nami put away the permanent pointer and asked in confusion: "What happened to this last name?"
Robin said slowly: "There are nineteen special surnames in this world that are superior to everyone, including laws, morals, and all secular constraints. And Neferutari, eight hundred years ago,
Could have been the twentieth."
"...She is right." Weiwei bit her lip and said bitterly, "Although Nefertari is not one of the twenty Draco clans, but...even so, not everyone can replace Nefertari.
Rutali, became the royal family of Alabasta. Even if Crocodile is one of the seven warriors under the king, it is not very likely, and he must understand it himself. "
"So Weiwei, your family is so prominent." Nami stuck out her tongue.
Sanji held the cigarette between his fingers, knocked the ashes, and said thoughtfully: "Then, why he went to so much trouble, on the one hand, he was worried about the name Nefertari, so he acted in secret to avoid being noticed, on the other hand
...He must have some other ulterior special purpose."
"A desert country that can hardly seize the crown and seize its own country, and it does not have many precious natural resources. Compared with the huge country area, Alabasta is not that rich..."
Robin murmured and analyzed, "Sand Crocodile is a Shichibukai. He wants anything, reputation, status, money, and even power. It is obviously more convenient to be on the sea... Why must he do it in Alabasta like this?"
It has taken so many years. I think the most suspicious reason... ultimately falls on the ancient surname of your family, Princess." She looked at the surprised and confused Weiwei with her calm dark green eyes, "The same ancient one, and
The country of Alabasta…”
Weiwei nodded uncertainly, "Yes, before the establishment of the World Government, we were already the royal family of Alabasta, and the history of Alabasta itself goes back thousands of years..."
Nami analyzed solemnly: "Did he find some underground ruins, valuable cultural relics or something like that?"
"The majestic Shichibukai went to rob the tomb..." Sanji scratched his head, "It's not that serious, is it?"
ancient……
Robin followed the three of them out of the white wax house. In front of them, Nami, Sanji and Vivi hurriedly found Luffy and the others. Time was running out and they had to sail to Alabasta immediately.
The wind blew and picked up Robin's hair. Could it be related to the "historical text"?
Although I don’t think anyone other than myself can decipher the text in the historical text, after all, O’Hara’s scholars themselves learned that type of writing through study, and no one can guarantee that others will really not have the ability to decipher the ancient text.
.
And as far as Robin knows...
There are about thirty historical text stone tablets in total, of which only nine record the historical truth of the blank 100 years that he is chasing; the other four are road signs for locating the final island.
I have read one piece; among the remaining twenty or so historical texts, some are experimental records, such as the stone tablets found on Zhenshou Island and the original loan shark island, and some are purely commemorative stone tablets, such as the one on Nine Snake Island.
…
But there is no guarantee that there is no historical monument that records a certain technology that transcends the times.
Robin thought about the things that the ambitious King Shichibukai like Sand Crocodile could pursue so hard. After thinking about it, Robin concluded that they were just those things.
Historical text...
…
When Robin followed the hurried three people to find Luffy and the others, Nami was holding up the permanent pointer of Alabasta and saying something high-spirited to Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper.
Of course, it is to encourage Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, Sanji and others to fight high...
Usopp was covered in wounds and looked miserable. He waved his hands to Nami with a black line: "Hey, hey, hey! Don't count me with these monsters..."
Luffy laughed loudly, "With the pointer, we can sail smoothly now!"
"Robin!" Chopper flew over and said proudly, "I helped Luffy, Usopp, and the two giant uncles drive away the bad guys!"
"This little deer is really powerful..." The two giants, Aoki Tori and Red Oni Broki, laughed and admired Chopper's previous performance, "He is a brave man!"
"I hate it." Chopper squirmed shyly, "Even if you praise me like this, I won't be happy."
"The giants..." Robin looked up at the two giants who were more than 20 meters tall, with a shocked expression on his face.
Weiwei asked curiously: "Have you never seen the giants?"
Robin shook his head and murmured sadly: "No..."
…
During the fight with Luffy, Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper, Nami caught a glimpse of Robin's back as he left alone and returned to the direction of the Merry.
"Let's go quickly!" The navigator raised his arms and shouted, and Luffy and others responded in unison, "Oh!!"
Back on the Merry ship, several people saw the broken corpses of huge beasts on the shore. Usopp was shocked and said: "Hey, hey, hey, what happened?"
"They were all cut off with a sharp weapon," Sanji said, lighting up his cigarette. "It must have been done by the algae head on the boat. Just in time, the food reserve has been replenished."
"Who do you think is the green algae head? Curly eyebrows!"
Zoro on the deck shouted unhappily.
"That's you! Are you not convinced?!" Sanji jumped up, stepped on Zoro, and Zoro drew his sword.
"They are really energetic..." Usopp climbed onto the ship weakly.
"Haha!" Luffy stretched out his arms and jumped onto the bow of the boat. He looked back at Nami and Weiwei, who had also joined the boat, and then looked at the sea breeze blowing by the fence on the second floor.
Robin, and "B.I.B" who looked like a knight in black armor next to her, showed a bright smile with big white teeth, "Guys, the target is Alabasta, let's go!!!"
"oh!!!"
The wind blew and swept Robin's messy hair around her temples. She wore a black visor on her face. Through her narrow eyes, it seemed as if she had traveled through a time tunnel of ten or more than ten years...
…
["You are the captain, where are you going next?"]
[He turned back with a smile and rubbed his face roughly.]
[Although the skin of the palm is a bit rough, it is also very warm...]
…
Stop at a small island along the way to replenish fresh water and food.
This is a winter island. Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper threw snowballs at each other and had a snowball fight. Luffy deliberately smashed Usopp's lifelike snowman to pieces and laughed amidst Usopp's angry roar.
Sanji collects fresh ingredients.
Sauron's upper body with bare muscles and bulging muscles was practicing in the snow with a knife.
Nami smiled brightly. "Luo" turned around and saw Robin tilting his head, as if wiping his cheek. "...Sister Bin." Nami whispered to herself.
…
【"What is the most important thing about being a pirate?"】
[On the island where Roger, the Pirate King, once fought with his great enemy Whitebeard, among the singing and dancing pirates, he stood tall and carefree, raising the first finger, the second finger, and the third finger. ]
["Happy! Happy! Still damn, happy!"]
…
Along the way, we passed another Autumn Island. There was a stone tablet on the island with the words "Sniper Island" written on it.
"Wow!!!! I was just wondering if there would be an island like this in the Grand Line!!!!"
Usopp's eyes were shining, and he ran around and looked everywhere excitedly.
In the middle of the island is a huge slingshot-like mountain peak. Luffy, Chopper, Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp compete to see who can reach the top first. They make trouble for each other while climbing, laughing and joking.
Bang! Bang! Bang!…
Nami gave each of the boys who were just playing around a punch and said, "It's rare that there is a fresh water river. Wash your dirty clothes for me! You can't just throw them all to us?! Sister Vivi and Robin are both
It’s a princess!!!!”
Weiwei couldn't help laughing.
…
["Lin Qi, we knew we were right! You are so right!"]
["That's right! Being a pirate is all about having fun! Because"]
【"It's so boring on land!!"】
【"Ha ha ha ha……"】
[Everyone laughed and toasted, and the members of the red-haired pirate group whistled and cheered, pushing themselves into his arms. He didn't hesitate, and his mouth full of alcohol came over and kissed him fiercely...]
["Wow!! Okay, you two, are you going to bully us bachelors in public, right?!"]
[I didn’t drink much, but I was already blushing. I heard Shanks yelling and making noises. Even Mihawk, who was always aloof and aloof, didn’t miss the excitement and raised his glass together with a smile, “Drink for free.
You must drink as a fine.”]
…
…
"Sister Robin, Sister Robin..."
The body was shaken gently by someone.
Robin woke up from a long dream that seemed to be so long that he forgot the time. He was stunned for a long time and took away a book covering his face, "Nami, what's wrong?"
She was lying on the sofa in the Phone Bug Castle just now, and Nami was squatting beside the sofa, gently pushing her awake while she accidentally fell asleep while reading.
Nami said: "It's something serious. Mr. 2, the cadre of Baroque Working Group, unexpectedly came to our ship just now..."
"What?" Robin was surprised. He got up and followed Nami outside the Telephone Bug Castle. "Then, did you leave him?"
"I'm sorry..." Nami covered her mouth with tears and said with a bitter smile, "Everyone only realized that he was Mr. 2 after he left..."
Jumping out of the Phone Bug Castle, Robin and the others saw Weiwei kneeling on the deck, covering her forehead and complaining about her carelessness, and nervously said: "... He just showed the 'face' that he had memorized with his ability.
When we looked, I saw my father's face. What on earth did he do with my father's face?!" Zoro said: "If you have the face of a king, you can do very evil and bad things."
Nami explained to Robin on the side that Mr. 2 can magically imitate any Devil Fruit ability.
Robin nodded and said, "It's a superhuman imitation fruit... It's indeed a tricky ability. But..." she changed the subject, "Now that we know about this ability, its intelligence advantage has been greatly reduced.
, isn’t it?”
When Nami, Vivi, Usopp, Sanji, and Zoro heard this, they were right!
"It seems that we are lucky to have met this guy in advance!" Sauron chuckled, "Because we can formulate countermeasures in advance so that his imitation ability will be useless to us."
Luck... "B.I.B" floating in the air on the deck glanced at Luffy who seemed to be out of sorts. Luck is this kid's strongest hidden attribute!
Robin led Nami down the steps step by step, "So, what kind of countermeasures are needed? Is it to formulate a password or make a special mark?"
Just when "B.I.B" thought that Luffy and others would draw a cross symbol on their arms like in the comics, tie it with a bandage, and make a double mark that only the people on the ship knew...
Luffy smiled and raised a finger, "I have a simple and good idea!"
…
"I see!"
After hearing Luffy's good idea, Sanji was surprised and said: "I didn't expect you to have such a smart mind. I really misunderstood you."
"Humph!" Luffy crossed his arms and raised his head proudly.
"Then..." Zoro glanced at the people around him.
Usopp nodded and counted on his fingers: "Me, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Chopper, Robin, Sanji! And Vivi, Karu..."
Weiwei was sweating and smiled and said to herself: "Yes, most people can't see the 'ghost' on our ship at all..."
Nami smiled brightly, "Plus "B.I.B"! So the total is"
"There are eighteen in total (readers can guess this foreshadowing and count me as the loser)!" Luffy laughed and was knocked down by Nami with a punch, "How did you calculate it!!! It's clearly ten.
!!!”
"Yes...it's...ten...pieces..."
Luffy, who was lying on the ground with his head covered with swelling, raised his fist tremblingly in response.
Zoro and the others have a dark streak. Forget it, Mr. 2 probably can’t even pretend to be as strong as Luffy, an idiot!
"So……"
Nami smiled and glanced around the people on the boat, "The code is set. How many people are on our boat?"
"Ten!!!"
Usopp, Sanji, Chopper, and even Karu the Running Duck all responded enthusiastically with their fists raised.
Luffy smiled and said: "Hurry up and log in!"
〖Alabasta, port city, Nahana〗
As soon as the Merry parked on the sparsely populated shore, Luffy rushed out impatiently and headed straight for the lively town in the distance ahead.
"Dining room!!!"
A trail of smoke, dust and yellow sand was left behind. As the captain, Luffy was the first to disappear after landing.
"B.I.B" floated out of the Meili, and heard Nami complaining below: "I really hope he can have a little awareness of being a bounty... especially in such a big country..."
"..." Robin tied the small bag to his waist and quietly jumped out of the boat.
Weiwei asked worriedly: "What should I do? Nahana is a big city. How can we find Luffy?"
Zoro was not worried at all, "Don't worry about him, he will definitely find a way anyway. Let's go find a place to fill our stomachs first..."
With that said, he was the first to walk forward with three knives in his arms.
"Hey! Don't run around by yourself!" Usopp and Sanji followed speechlessly. You were the most road-crazy and liked to run around the most.
"Robin?" Chopper turned into a reindeer form and raised his head.
Robin said: "Let's go, I happen to be a little hungry."
"B.I.B" was like a black phantom, floating down beside Robin. He shook his left arm vigorously, and a black arm armor covered with blue flame patterns solidified in the air.
Robin was surprised as he walked: "Is there already a whole arm?"
"It's a whole arm..." "B.I.B" said slowly, "and a whole helmet." Its head also appeared out of thin air, its narrow eyes shimmering. The captain of Whitebeard's Second Division was stronger than he expected.
It has to be much stronger.
However, if it is only to this extent...
If you want to deal with Marshall D. Teach, I'm afraid it's not enough, Fire Fist.
…
〖Nahana, suburbs〗
Sanji went to get some food, then spread a tablecloth on the spot, and several people gathered around to solve their stomach problems.
Nami, Vivi and Robin went to get some sets of clothes that would be convenient for traveling in the desert area.
Robin didn't really want to change his whole body into another set of clothes, so like boys like Zoro, Sanji, and Usopp, he simply put on a loose robe over his original clothes and also wrapped a turban on his head.
, shawl, convenient for heat insulation.
As soon as the fragrant Nami came closer, Chopper, who had a sensitive nose, screamed, "It smells so strong! Is this perfume?"
"It's really hard for you, Chopper." Usopp patted the reindeer sympathetically, "You need to endure the heat, and you also need to endure the smell of Nami..."
Boom! Nami punched him and said with an evil look on her face: "Watch your words, Usopp."
"Yes..." Usopp held the bag on his head and said with tears, "Nami-sama..."
During the chat, Weiwei began to introduce the domestic situation in Alabasta. In short, she planned to stop the actions of the domestic rebels first. The place where the leader of the rebels is located is Chiefba, known as the oasis...
Just as he was talking, there was a commotion in the adjacent street.
"It's the navy..." Zoro looked over, "Why are they here?"
A big country like Alabasta has its own security army, and the navy will not easily wander around on other people's territory.
"And they are still out in large numbers on the streets. Are there pirates?"
As Zoro was talking, he, Sanji, Usopp, Chopper, Nami, and Vivi were dumbfounded to find that the so-called pirates that the navy was chasing through the streets were their captain who had just disappeared without a trace...
"Ah, Zoro, where are you!" Luffy still waved to them happily. The following marines immediately pointed at Zoro and the others and shouted: "The accomplice wearing the straw hat is over there!"
Is it your boy who lured the navy here?!
Zoro Sanji and others had a black line, Robin reminded: "Chasing Luffy is the navy, it is the 'Ghost Sword Sorrow' Smoker from Rogge Town..."
With the way she is dressed now, at a casual glance, she is no different from an ordinary man on the roadside, but she is not worried that Smoker will recognize her at a glance.
However, just when Robin was about to suggest that he go back to the Merry first and wait for Luffy to run back alone, in front of Colonel "Ghost Shou" who was chasing Luffy, the relationship between him and Luffy...
On the road, an orange-red fire fell from the sky.
Boom!!!
Luffy felt the blazing heat behind him and looked back in surprise.
"Someone appeared in the flames..."
Nami and the others, who were watching nervously not far away, were dumbfounded. They watched the flames falling from the sky between Luffy and Smoker quickly dissipate, and a shirtless young man appeared in front of everyone.
Sauron muttered to himself: "Fire ability...is that the 'natural element' that Robin mentioned?"
"It's you?!" Smoker's eyes were bloodshot as he looked at the shirtless young man in front of him.
"It's him..." Robin looked at the tattoo of the Whitebeard Pirates on the man's back from a distance, "The second division captain of the Whitebeard Pirates, Ace..."
"Is he Ace?" Zoro, Sanji, Usopp and others immediately remembered that Luffy had mentioned this name, "Luffy's brother?!"
Soon, Luffy over there was already laughing and running towards them, "Guys, let's go back to the Merry first! Leave the navy to Ace!!!"
…
After returning to the Meili, it didn't take long before a ball of flame flew across the sea surface and turned into a human shape. With the rolling heat, it floated down to the railing and squatted down.
"Luffy, long time no see." Ace said with a smile, holding his hat.
Luffy said happily: "Ace! Why are you here?"
"I..." Ace was about to speak when his expression suddenly changed and he looked somewhere on the deck, meeting the narrow eyes of "B.I.B". He asked strangely: "Hey, Luffy, what is that?"
Luffy smiled proudly and said, "Isn't it awesome?"
"Forget it, this kind of thing is not important." Ace nodded politely to everyone on the deck, "Hello everyone, please take care of my brother."
Zoro and Usopp nodded in return, "We really worked hard to take care of him."
"As for why I'm here? I just went to deal with a small matter nearby. In the team I'm responsible for, there was a bastard who killed his comrades. His name is Teach. I heard he was also called Blackbeard recently... Forget it.
Don’t talk about this.”
Ace quickly changed the subject, laughed and said, "I'm also surprised to meet you. I'm so happy!"
Luffy asked: "Oh? Do you want to help?"
Ace waved his hand, "Forget it, I can handle it myself! Besides, I don't want outsiders to get involved in this matter..."
"Outsiders?" Nami and the others were surprised. Luffy is your brother, right?
Ace smiled, stood up, held down the hat on his head, turned around and pointed at the whitebeard tattoo on his back, and asked with a smile: "I am now a member of the Whitebeard Pirates, Luffy, do you want to join too?"
What about us? Of course, your friends can also join us."
…
Of course Luffy refused decisively.
Ace was not surprised. He smiled and said a few more words, then jumped off the Merry, stood on his own special flame-driven one-man boat, and waved goodbye.
"Um?"
Luffy looked up and saw a dark shadow passing above his head.
"Unexpectedly, Luffy's brother is actually the captain of the second division of the Whitebeard Pirates..."
Usopp and others are still in shock.
"Anyway... let's meet again when we have a chance. Then the three of us will have a glass of wine together!" Ace stepped on the boat and looked back at his brother's pirate ship. He smiled and said to himself, and suddenly said: "Ghost
Sir, what do you want from me?"
Fire Fist raised his eyes and looked above his head. A dark shadow was holding its arms, suspended in the flame-like energy, and its narrow eyes were glimmering, staring at him quietly.
"B.I.B" said quietly: "Blackbeard, Marshall D. Teach... Fire Fist, I'm afraid you are no match for him. Go back now while you can still."
