Chapter 683 I once killed a mermaid
[Chapter Heading Serialization·Heart Pirates (End)·'Black Feather Stealing Doctor (Not)!']
[In the bedroom, Luo lay on the bed with his hands under his head, staring at the wall. Hearing the knock on the door from Xiaocao and Bepo, he responded, jumped off the ground and walked forward, took off the black feather cloak hanging quietly on the wall, pushed the door open and walked out. Outside the door, Xiaocao, who was carrying a lot of bags, was educating the silly white bear. The golden sunlight projected into the room. With a rustle, Luo put on the black feather cloak...]——
"Wow! That's great! I see a nice town!"
"What kind of island is that? It looks a bit like a resort!"
"A resort?"
"Forward! Merry! Forward!!"
"Really? It makes me want to take a good rest."
Nami opened her arms, bathing in the gentle sea breeze, feeling good, but she heard Usopp muttering dully beside her: "But... it seems that all the ships parked at the port are pirate ships? This is not right, why would pirate ships park at the port so openly?"
"..." Nami and Usopp looked at each other and knelt on the ground with tears in their eyes. "What a terrible place this is... Could it be a hideout of vicious pirates..."
"Wouldn't it be more convenient for us to plan if there were so many pirates?" Zoro walked to the bow, put his hand on the knife hanging on his waist, and said with a wicked smile, "As long as we chop them all down, we will definitely be able to collect enough gold, right?"
Chopper was shocked, "We are here to search for gold, not to rob it, right?!"
"It doesn't make much difference." Sanji lit a cigarette. He didn't know when he had used Crocodile's golden hook to make a delicate golden lighter. The buttons on his black suit were also replaced with golden buttons, not to show off his wealth, but to carry these small amounts of gold with him in case of emergency, and to use his ability to control and use them to deal with various situations.
Luffy raised his fists and chuckled, "Anyway, let's go check out the town."
He took the lead, with the green-haired swordsman on the left and Sanji in a black suit on the right, and they walked towards the town on the island where the atmosphere was obviously not right.
"Don't worry too much about them," Robin played with the record pointer of this Gaya Island and the broken books salvaged from the sunken ship that fell from the sky before. "In the first half of the Grand Line, just being able to skillfully use Conqueror's Haki is enough to deal with most situations... Not to mention that among the three of them, there are two people with special abilities and two people who can use Armament Haki..."
Usopp said fearfully: "No matter what, I hope they don't cause too much trouble..."
"Sister Robin, do you care about this pointer?" Nami sat next to Robin and looked over.
This was a group of professional shipwreck salvage guys who suddenly appeared on the sea. Robin took the pointer from their ship. Because they knew only a little about the Sky Island that Luffy was determined to go to, Nami and the others followed the pointer to Gaya Island to investigate. By the way, Robin also reminded them that Sanji's ability of the Gold-Gold Fruit, as long as there is enough gold, can directly carry everyone to the sky and reach the Sky Island.
The problem is that Sanji had a burst of chivalry before and left most of the golden spoils looted from Crocodile's lair in the royal palace of Alabasta, which needed money to invest in reconstruction work.
So there is not enough gold on the ship to take people up to heaven.
So everyone unanimously voted to find out the news about Sky Island, and they should first come to this Gaya Island and make sufficient preparations.
Hearing Nami's question, Robin handed the pointer of Jaya Island to Nami and said casually: "Because I heard from Luffy's mother that this island... is where she and Luffy's father met."
"Wow, that's romantic!"
Nami blinked and looked towards the island. Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji had already entered the town and were no longer visible.
Robin was writing and drawing on a blank notebook, while "BIB" was floating beside him, looking at it with his head tilted.
They had been to another small sky island and had a way to return to the weather island - the old men like Haredas had taught them how to make special balloons.
However, those balloons, because of the different magnetic forces they were made with, would eventually reach different sky islands - yes, sky islands also have magnetic forces. Otherwise, Nami's own needle would not strangely point directly to the sky above her head - the kind of balloons that Robin would make, even if they could be made now, would only take them to a small weather island in the sky above an unknown sea area at the moment. Instead of this unknown sky island right above the sea area where they were.
Not to mention, Robin didn't have enough materials to make that special balloon...
"Eh? Sister Robin, are you drawing a map?" Nami turned the pointer of Gaya Island over and over again, and then she found that Robin had used her fruit ability to create several hands to sketch a sketch on the blank paper. After looking carefully, she was surprised and said, "Gaya Island, isn't this the island in front of us? Sister Robin, you haven't even set foot on this island yet... Have you been here before?"
"I have never been here." Several hands in front of Robin were busy, and soon they finished drawing the map of Gaya Island, marking only two locations. She tapped her ears and eyes, "It's just that I have a habit... Before I set foot on an island I have never been to, I will send my ears and eyes to various corners of the island that are not easy to be discovered. Sometimes I can get a lot of information in advance, such as this map, and an interesting rumor I just heard..."
Usopp and the others also came over and said in surprise: "You are really cautious..."
"…" "BIB" glanced at Robin's profile. Apparently, Robin didn't want to go through the ambush on Crown Island again…
Although, considering the range of Aokiji's radiation on the surrounding seabed at that time, this method of using the Hana-Hana Nomi to explore in advance may not really have much effect.
"What interesting rumors?" Chopper was curious.
"I heard that there is a 'weird man' here that everyone knows. His name is 'Mont Blanc Kulik'."
Robin pointed to the hand-drawn simple map, which was divided into two parts, separated by a bay in the middle. On the left island, she marked a "Magic Valley Town", which was where they docked; and on the right island, Robin also marked the seaside. She pointed at the latter mark.
"This 'weird guy' lives here. There are many rumors about him, which can be roughly divided into two categories. One is that he was always talking about dreams and was driven out of the town. The other is that he seemed to have something to regret for the rest of his life, so he often drank to drown his sorrows. In short, he seems to be a man with a story... Since Luffy and the others went to the Magic Valley Town on the left to gather information, let's go there and talk to the 'weird guy'."
"Huh?" Usopp was puzzled, "Are we going together without waiting for Luffy and the others to come back?"
Nami also hesitated and asked, "Sister Robin, what dream did that weirdo tell that caused him to be driven out of town?"
"I don't know the details, but I heard that he always yells at others..." Robin said lightly while feeling the sea breeze, "There is an endless amount of gold on Gaya Island."
"Then what are we waiting for?" Nami waved her hand, "Let's go!!!"
"You are too realistic, aren't you?!" Usopp yelled with his fangs clenched.
…
Not long after, Usopp, a part-time carpenter, swung his hammer on the shore and erected a wooden sign. He pinned the sketch drawn by Robin on it and drew a straw hat icon at the location of the "Weirdo House" on the right side of the island.
On the slowly departing Merry, BIB glanced towards the direction of Magic Valley Town with his narrow eyes...
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Next to Luffy's scent, there is definitely Blackbeard Teach's scent. You can smell that guy's odor from ten miles away.
but……
Glancing at his own palm, "BIB" had no intention of flying over and beating up Blackbeard.
After all, it is a substitute. Maintaining the original body is its first principle.
Now that it has been ten years since it left its main body, it should try to avoid any intense battles and reduce its own consumption other than cultivation.
In fact, it has indeed been almost ten years since it really fought with anyone, and it has hardly ever used its domineering power.
This should be the first time that the original body and the substitute have devoted themselves to the practice of returning to life... and it has been ten years. This is why it has a little confidence that when it returns to the original body, the original body will not die immediately but have a chance to survive... It is unwilling and dare not easily add extra burden to the original body. Because every extra burden may be the last straw that breaks the camel's back in the future. It can't afford to gamble. The original body can't afford to lose.
As for letting Robin deal with Blackbeard...
"BIB" looked at the profile of Robin who was chatting with Nami who was controlling the course. This was even more unpleasant for it. Robin was very strong, but that was based on her deep development of the Flower-Flower Fruit. And Blackbeard's Dark-Dark Fruit was exactly the nemesis of all ability users - even Ace, who was evenly matched with Kaido and Yamato, could only be defeated by the Dark-Dark Fruit and was directly arrested by Blackbeard. Robin was obviously no match for such a Blackbeard.
I seem to be a bit of a idiot for fussing about this... 『BIB』 "Close your eyes." If my real body was here, I would not bother to think so much and would have gone to fight Blackbeard head-on. Your father is not here, so I won't beat you to death?
When BIB came to his senses, the Merry had already stopped at the seaside.
Robin, Nami, Usopp, and Chopper jumped off the boat, and the three at the back looked at the magnificent castle on the shore in amazement - but when they turned to the back, they found that the castle in the front was just a huge cardboard, and the half-built house in the back was the real house.
"Okay! Chopper, dig out the gold!"
Nami raised her hand in high spirits. Chopper was really silly. He transformed into a reindeer and kept digging the ground with his horns and hooves. Usopp was sweating coldly, "You're taking it for granted, right? This is someone else's doorstep!"
"BIB" and Robin looked at the half-built house behind the castle drawing board, and they could sense that there was someone inside with their observation Haki.
Nami and Usopp ran to knock on the door, but received no response after asking twice. Just as they opened the door, Robin stopped them and closed it again. Almost at the same time, Nami and Usopp felt the door shake, as if something hit them from behind.
"It's a wine bottle?!"
After pushing the door open again, Usopp saw the broken bottles on the ground behind the door and suddenly felt depressed.
"You have such a bad temper." Nami was a little scared and moved closer to Robin. Did Sister Robin feel the bottle thrown at her just now? Robin looked up at the room, and a chestnut-headed burly man came over drunkenly, staring at her with dead eyes and said, "Get out of here! No one can mess with me... Hmm? There are two beautiful ladies? Hehehe... just right..."
A sinister smile appeared on his face. "I once killed a mermaid..."
"Wow, Sister Robin, let's ask someone else." Nami turned around and hugged Robin's arm with tears in her eyes, "I'll give my gold to him."
Usopp and Chopper complained: "That's their gold, right?!"
