"...In this way, four hundred years ago, the adventurer and botanist Mont Blanc Noland from the North Sea brought advanced medical knowledge to our ancestors, broke the superstition of blood sacrifice on the island at that time, and saved the world.
The daughter of the warrior Kalgara also eliminated the tree fever plague on the island and successfully saved our ancestors... The great warrior Kalgara and Noland settled their differences and became close friends. The two drank and talked happily together.
Hunting competitions, exchange of cultures on the island and overseas.
"Although there was some misunderstanding before parting, which was quickly resolved... The great warrior Kalgara felt sorry for wronging his best friend, and roared loudly at the departing ship, making an agreement that in order to save the ship of his best friend when he comes back next time
He would not get lost at sea, and he could find this island even in the fiercest storm. He vowed that he would definitely greet his best friend with the loudest bell..."
The white cloud ground of the ancient and primitive Hidden Village in the Clouds was filled with many people. There were local Sandia residents and pirates from the Blue Sea.
There is Weper, a descendant of the great warrior Kalgra, and there is Mont Blanc Kulik, a descendant of Mont Blanc Noland.
Chief Sandia recounted this regretful past four hundred years ago beside the campfire...
Even though it was not the first time they heard it, many residents of Sandia were still moved to tears and silently wiped the corners of their eyes.
There were turbid tears in the chief's eyes, and he said slowly: "However, a soaring sea current changed everything. Half of Gaya Island brought our hometown four hundred years ago to this piece of land.
Ten thousand meters high in the sky, the Sky Islanders four hundred years ago saw such a large piece of real land. They went crazy and fought with our ancestors on the island... In the end, we were defeated. Instead, we were defeated.
Driven from our homeland.
"The great warrior Kalgara led the warriors in his clan and tried desperately to regain his homeland and the Golden Bell every day... Until he fought to the end and shed the last drop of blood on his body, he was filled with guilt and always felt guilty.
Still thinking about it...
"'Didn't we make an appointment? Noland...'
"'One day, we will meet again.'
"'I wonder what you will think when you come to Gaya again and can't find us?'
"'Wait for me a little longer, I'm going to ring the golden bell now... You can hear the bell even at a height of 10,000 meters, right?'
"'I must light the lights of Shandorla...can you hear me? We are here!'"
The old chief spoke with some emotion. Of course, even if told in a straightforward manner, this regrettable past four hundred years ago is enough to hit people's hearts, especially for those young people who yearn for masculine romance. It can be said to be a heavy blow to the heart and even the soul.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..." Usopp and Chopper had been crying unnaturally for a long time, and their faces were distorted with snot and tears. "It's so uncomfortable! They couldn't convey their thoughts to each other until the end, and
Die alone on this 10,000-meter empty island... Wuwuwuwuwu..."
"Alas..." the old chief took a deep breath, woke up, and sighed, "Later, pirates from the North Sea came to Sky Island and told us that our great benefactor Noland... wanted to protect our gold.
The reputation of Xiangdora, our hometown, died in the blue sea! Even though he was called the 'big liar', he still insisted until his death that our hometown Shandora was real... It was just that at that time, the great warrior Karl Ge
La has passed away. Neither of them heard any news about their close friends before they died..."
The old chief trembled and rummaged around for a while, and unexpectedly found an old and unseemly book.
Nami said in surprise: "Isn't this the storybook that Uncle Li Zitou also has at home?"
"North Sea Folktales: Noland the Great Liar"... Sanji, who was born in Beihai, read this book since he was a child. He couldn't help but be silent, lit a cigarette, took a puff, and after a while, slowly spit it out.
"I sometimes think..." The old chief opened this yellowed and almost rotten storybook, and caressed the worn pages with his rough fingers. The face of the "big liar" Noland was drawn comically.
Smiling like a clown, he said, "By the way, I know, those mountains of gold have all sunk to the bottom of the sea." The old chief sighed: "The great warrior Kalgara was not able to hear Noland's last words during his lifetime.
The ending, not being able to read such a book is perhaps the luckiest thing in this story..."
"Haha," Luffy held his head and laughed. This smile was obviously inappropriate. Even a girl like Nami who was not interested in so-called manly romance couldn't help but feel sad and regretful about this four-hundred-year-old past. See
Luffy was a little nervous when he suddenly laughed out loud like this. Don't be stupid, you may annoy the people around you and get beaten to death! Luffy turned a blind eye to the strange looks around him and said with a smile: "Fortunately, uncle followed us to Sky Island.
Now! Now we can finally fulfill our promise, can’t we?”
This simple sentence moved all Sandians to tears, and Usopp burst into tears again. Standing next to the old chief, Aisha and the female warrior Raqi of the tribe said sadly: "But, Shandorla's
The lights, the golden bell... are still on the island, under the control of Enel..."
"Just beat him away! That's right?"
Luffy smiled and ate the empty fish dinner made by Sanji, his eyes were firm, "He is very annoying, Xingzi is my friend, he stole Xingzi's owner, I originally wanted to beat him up
!”
The voice of the Straw Hat boy beside the bonfire behind him faded away, and Weper and Montblanc walked together to the middle of the Cloud Hidden Village in Sandia.
"Hey..." Montblanc held his muscular arms and looked up at the statue of the great warrior Kalgara. He blew out a puff of smoke and said with a smile, "I'm going to deal with that Eneloo tomorrow. Count me in?"
He raised his fist, and Weper next to him raised his fist and touched him without saying anything.
boom.
The fists are separated, and there is another story being told by the campfire behind...
It was Robin, telling everyone the story of Captain Whale Rabu, the Lombard Pirates, and others. However, her tone was not as emotional as the old chief, and she seemed straightforward, even a little cold and melancholy.
...However, the story of a whale who values love and justice, and a man who is left with only a skeleton drifting alone even after death, and another story about a promise, still made Usopp, Chopper and others burst into tears again.
"I didn't expect that whale to have such a story..." Nami sighed, "No wonder there are so many scars on its head..."
In the story he told, Robin deliberately concealed himself and Lynch.
Robin has recalled the past events over and over again alone, and does not want to talk about it to anyone else at this time. Except for Lynch, she does not want to expose her fragile wounds in front of anyone else.
"Okay! Then it's decided!"
Luffy punched his fists together and said with a firm smile, "Let's go to the Island of Something tomorrow and fight off that angry Enelu! Rescue Starboy's master and get back the Golden Seed!"
Until then, eat and drink to your heart's content!
With people like Luffy and Usopp making the atmosphere lively, even a relatively serious tribal village like Sandia was led to a wrong place. Not long after, even Nami was playing around with the little girl Aisha in her arms, and everyone gathered around
The lit bonfires are filled with singing and dancing, drinking wine and eating meat, in order to prepare for the battle that may never come back tomorrow. Watching the fireworks from the top of the burning bonfire rising to the clouds above seems to be the road to the underworld...
"Sister Robin, why don't you go and play together?" Nami came over with a warm smile. After sitting down, she found Robin playing with two old yellowed papers. She leaned over curiously and asked,
"Map? Isn't this the map of the sky island that Luffy and the others found in the sunken ship, and the map of Gaya Island that you drew yourself, sister Robin?"
Robin folded the two maps and put them together. Nami looked at the merged island, which looked like an island with a complete shape of a skull, and sighed: "I understand, the so-called 'gold is hidden in the right eye of the skull' is
This is what it means..."
Feeling sleepy, Nami yawned, leaned next to Robin, and fell asleep unconsciously.
At night, she woke up in a daze and found that everyone had finished making noise and the bonfire was still burning weakly. However, Luffy, Usopp, Zoro, Sanji, Chopper and others were already lying scattered on the ground among the clouds, whistling.
Big sleep.
Where is Sister Robin?
Nami turned her head and saw a white phone bug lying on the ground of Shimagumo next to her, resting with her eyes closed. She couldn't help but be startled.
Sister Robin... seems to be sleeping in her phone bug castle all the time.
Lying on her back next to the phone bug, Nami looked at the sky-like clouds on the top of the island, and unconsciously fell asleep again.
…
Robin opened his eyes and looked at the ceiling of the bedroom.
Can't sleep...
She lay there for a while and finally got up.
After sitting for a while by the empty big bed with her hair disheveled and her head bowed, Robin took a deep breath, walked to the bedroom bathroom, turned on the faucet and poured water on her face, and looked up at the sad woman with a gloomy look in the mirror.
Eye.
Closing his eyes, Robin took a few deep breaths, went back to the bedroom, changed into clothes, put on a backpack for field archeology, and put on a wide-brimmed hat that could protect him from the sun.
After tearing it apart, she took out a page and started writing again and again, leaving the last sentence: "I will go to the island to explore the ruins of an ancient city that has been lost for four hundred years. Don't worry about me."
Robin originally wanted to put the note on Xiao Lu's head, but after thinking about it, he was worried that someone would find out in advance after getting up at night, so he patted the wall at the entrance of the castle, handed the note to Xiao Lu, and warned: "I'll see you again tomorrow morning.
Spit it out and show it to them. Remember?"
A phone bug appeared on the wall, yawned lazily, ate the note handed by Robin, and nodded.
"Be good." Robin patted the castle wall, picked up his backpack and pressed his hat, and jumped out.
…
After jumping out of the Phone Bug Castle, Robin saw Nami lying on her side on the cloud ground, sleeping peacefully with Xiao Lu in her arms. She gently raised her feet so as not to step on Nami's arm.
"..."
After looking down at Nami for a while, Robin walked toward the exit of Hidden Cloud Village in the darkness.
"Robin, where are you going..."
The sound behind her made Robin stop. She looked back and saw that it was the sniper talking in his sleep. He mumbled and was soon pressed down by the big feet stretched out from the side. He muttered a few words and fell asleep again.
"..."
Robin turned back and continued to leave, using her flowery arms to uncover the exit of Daoyun's passage, and then used the arms stretched out from the entrance to pull herself up. It wasn't that she didn't have the jumping power to jump out, but that on such a Daoyun ground, once
If you jump hard, the tremor will definitely wake up those vigilant Xandian warriors from their sleep. This is what Robin doesn't want to see.
Where are people?
Robin walked outside on the island cloud ground. The scenery of the sky island world at night was very magnificent, as if he was in the dark and deep space, walking among the stars...
She is looking for "B.I.B" who is not in the castle.
Soon, through what he saw, he noticed the location of Lynch's stand-in armor. On the Meili?
As soon as Robin approached, Labu, who was resting on the open sea next to the Mellie, woke up and was about to shout happily, but Robin raised his finger and "shushed" him. Labu quickly silenced and turned towards Robin.
Arched.
Robin used the flower fruit to create many arms on the whale and gently caressed it, coaxing the island whale to Labu, while he boarded the Mellie.
Through what she saw, she saw the dark armor sitting cross-legged in the sky, but it seemed that he was not as focused on practicing the return of life as before.
"What's wrong?"
Robin walked up to it and "suddenly a man ran to the boat."
"What's wrong?"
The narrow eyes of the black armor shimmered, "Suddenly you are not sleeping alone, and you run out in the middle of the night with your bag and clothes on your back?"
"It's not too sudden..."
Robin spread a layer of carpet woven from his own palms on the deck, put down his backpack and sat down on the floor, "I can't sleep, and it's not just a day or two... In these years, all year round, I can only get enough sleep for ten nights."
"..." "B.I.B" glanced over and said, "This is Lin Daiyu's poem."
Robin was speechless. She looked around on the boat, "Are you looking for something?"
"No," "B.I.B" said quietly, "I'm waiting for something... to come!"
As Robin watched in surprise, a layer of light slowly emerged from the bow of the Meili's sheep-headed bow, gradually condensing into an silhouette that looked like a child wearing a sailor suit.
The child sailor turned his head and smiled at her and "B.I.B".
Robin raised his head and glanced at the dark starry sky. In the middle of the night, this kind of thing appeared on a quiet pirate ship, and it smiled silently at people... It really looked like the plot of a ghost story.
.
"You're so good……"
The child sailor walked towards them quietly with a shimmer of light. Robin was surprised to find that he couldn't seem to see the child's specific face. It seemed that it was always covered with a layer of vague fog, giving people only one impression.
A simple smile.
But this child sailor floated in front of "B.I.B" and hugged its mecha's legs affectionately. This look seemed familiar to Robin, and suddenly he remembered that when he first met Xiao Lu, Xiao Lu was also very close to Lin.
What a strange substitute.
Because of the rich and pure life energy of "B.I.B"?
Or is it because of the power of the soul...
"B.I.B" touched the little sailor's head and said, "I have felt it before. There is a faint soul conceived inside this ship... This should be the so-called 'ship spirit' that often appears in stories circulated among sailors.
'Bar."
"Ship Elf..." Robin was surprised. She had read a lot of miscellaneous books, and of course she knew this kind of legend. However, what she thought of at this moment was another thing, "So, the so-called Ship Elf, and Aunt Ma
'Homiz' is very similar?"
"It's a bit like that."
The ship elf caressed by "B.I.B" arched his little head comfortably, "However, the ship elf is obviously more autonomous and can even achieve an 'out-of-body experience' and leave its true body, the ship Meili."
』
Compared to the Homitz made from Big Mom's Soul Soul Fruit...
The Ship Spirit is more like Brooke's out-of-body experience through the underworld fruit.
