Chapter 850: Rubber Fruit

The flying stone landed slowly, and everyone carried Shanks down, who was covered in white smoke and heat, with many arcs of electricity running through his body.

"Luffy, why are you so heavy-handed?!" Franky came over and took a look, and was immediately shocked.

"I can't pretend I didn't hear that..." Shanks, who was probably half-cooked, got up, brushed off the arcs of electricity on his body, sat on the ground, pressed the straw hat on his head, and said seriously, "This was not caused by Luffy, but by this navigator lady."

"Is there anything to be proud of?!" Franky, Zoro, Chopper and others shouted with fangs.

"Hmm?" Nami smiled and rubbed her fists, full of electric light, "Do you have any opinions about me?"

"You're so dissatisfied--" Zoro just groaned when Sanji, Chopper, Brook and the others covered his mouth and dragged him away. Zoro struggled and whimpered, vaguely saying something difficult to understand like "I'm going to chop you all off sooner or later". Luffy laughed "Hahahahahaha", and Shanks couldn't help but laugh, "You guys have such a good relationship."

The giants of Elbaf looked at each other. Does this look like they have a good relationship?

"So, Shanks, you said you put the last red stone somewhere else," Nami sighed with a smile, turning back to stare at Shanks with a sharp gaze, "Where is it?"

Under the gazes of Lynch and Robin, Shanks took off his straw hat, tossed it, and then handed it behind him without looking back.

The navigator of the Red Hair Pirates smiled silently, took out a permanent record pointer from his arms, and put it into his straw hat.

"Luffy, even though we haven't really decided who lives or dies or who wins, I recognize your strength." Shanks said, "So I'll leave this to you. I'll put the last signpost, the historical text, on that island."

Where is the explosive equipment? Lin Qi looked at Shanks. Why is it like the gym leader is giving a badge...

Luffy reached out from his straw hat and grabbed the permanent record pointer, then smiled at Shanks and said, "I also recognize your strength, Shanks."

Shanks smiled slightly, then put his straw hat on Luffy's head, rubbed his dog's head hard, and shouted: "You sound so arrogant, you little brat! Huh? Isn't it?"

"What are you doing, Shanks! It hurts!!! There's no need to use Haki, right?!!!"

"You won't feel any pain if you don't use your domineering attitude. This is your compensation for the fact that I was electrocuted but you were fine!"

"How can there be such compensation?!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

Everyone laughed and watched Luffy and Shanks playing with each other.

The giants of Elbaf, together with the people from the Red Hair Pirates and the Straw Hat Pirates, were busy preparing for the banquet.

Zoro ran to get some wine, while Sanji looked at the local ingredients with interest...

Robin smiled and said, "Dragon gave this child to his grandfather Garp to raise. Garp seems to have kept him alone in his hometown in the East China Sea... Shanks, who once stayed in Windmill Village for a year, supplemented Dragon's role as a father to some extent..."

"That's true." Lynch nodded.

"Hei~~Brother~~~~~"

At this moment, a childish call came from the front. On the distant sea, above the head of a black island whale, a sailor elf stood on tiptoe and waved his hands happily towards Lynch and the others.

…

"Lin Qi solved the problem of the golden lion just like that?"

On the seashore of the woods of the floating island that landed on the sea, Jesus Bu and his son sat side by side. Near them, the local villagers on the floating island with white feathers on their arms looked at the sea around them in a daze. Although they had returned to the "ground" and were no longer under the oppressive rule of the golden lion, where was this place... I heard from the elf-like child sitting on the whale that there was a giant village nearby...

Giants! I heard that they are monsters that eat people...

Usopp said: "It would be strange if it can't be solved, right? Anyway, let's not talk about this for now. Lynch just put the floating island down and forgot about us - he forgot that there are still these poor villagers on the island! Where should they go?"

"You were just trying to say you forgot about us here, weren't you?"

"These people were captured by the Golden Lion from the East China Sea. They are friends from our hometown!" Usopp crossed his arms and said indignantly, "Lynch is such a disloyal guy. Humph..."

"He and Nico Robin are both from the West Sea... Why should they be loyal to strangers from the East Sea?" Jesus Bu reminded.

"..." Usopp turned his head to look at his father, biting his lip and saying with tears in his eyes, "That guy, and Robin and Chopper, they completely forgot about me. They are really too much! Wuwuwu..."

This kid wasn't so dramatic when he was a kid, was he?! Jesus rolled his eyes, feeling a little guilty. Well, when Usopp was a kid, he wasn't at home at all, so he didn't know whether he was a dramatic guy or not... Jesus smiled and said, "What's the name of your weapon that can change its form? It's amazing."

"Isn't it amazing?" Usopp suddenly became excited, and described to his father with his hands and feet excitedly how many hardships he had experienced and how many obstacles he had overcome in order to obtain this weapon, and how he had forged this magical weapon with the help of the gods... Jesus touched his chin and nodded repeatedly, which means that it was made by the shipwright on your ship with the help of Lynch?

Boom boom...

Suddenly, the entire island, and even the surrounding islands, all shook. The waves were surging, the sea surface was turbulent, and the islands rose several meters one after another, suspended in the air above the sea, and then slowly flew horizontally in the same direction... The villagers on the island looked at each other again, a little at a loss. But not long after, there was an island in sight in front of them. There were many towering figures standing on the shore, which made it easy to misjudge the distance of the island. When they flew closer, they found that they were all giants, and the dense crowds at their feet were ordinary humans like themselves.

"Brother Hei is awesome!" Meili was very happy sitting on Lin Qi's shoulder. She didn't expect that Brother Hei could move those islands over even though they were so far away. In fact, this was normal. Lin Qi was still the user of the Float-Float Fruit. He hadn't removed the special effects of the Float-Float Fruit attached to those islands, nor had he fainted to remove the passive ability... Naturally, he could just hook his hand and pull those islands over.

"Usopp!" Luffy, who was eating meat crazily beside the campfire, looked up and waved happily, "Come to the party! Hahahaha!"

"Hey! That's too much, Luffy! You actually got to host the party first?!" Usopp excitedly leaped out from the edge of the island that hadn't landed yet, jumped onto the land of Elbaf, and quickly joined the lively party. "Without me, Captain Usopp, you can't do it! Hahahaha!"

The floating island villagers with feathers on their arms who followed them gathered together, looking at these people at a loss. Suddenly, a young woman in the village screamed "Ah", looked at the crowd at the banquet, and a beautiful woman smiled at her - it was the traveler named Kujo Jolyne, who was thought to have disappeared! "You guys are here to join the banquet too!" Luffy danced and ate, and even laughed at the villagers who didn't care whether they knew him or not, "Hahahaha - hey Usopp, that's my meat!!"

"Jesus!" Shanks, who was drinking with Lynch, raised his glass and shouted, "Here is some good wine!"

Jesus returned to the team with a smile, carrying his spear. Beckman next to him twirled a lighter and asked with a smile, "How was it, did you win or lose?"

"Usopp is already a brave sea warrior!" Jesus sighed and poured a bowl of wine and drank it.

Shanks, Beckman, and Laki Lu all nodded and said, "Let's change the subject. It looks like we didn't win."

"I didn't lose either!" Jesus' nose was crooked with anger. He snorted twice and suddenly laughed, "Look at how happy Luffy is. It seems that you, the captain, lost?"

Shanks pointed his fangs and said, "Will I lose to Luffy? You are underestimating me!"

"Anyway, I didn't win." Jesus shrugged, spread his hands, poured a bowl of wine, handed it to Lynch, and said with a smile, "He was taught by an eight-armed devil, but he didn't beat Shanks. Shouldn't he be fined?"

"You deserve to be punished!" Lynch nodded, solemnly clinked the bowl with Jesus Bu, and drank it all with his head tilted back.

"Hey!" Shanks slapped his thigh angrily, "What do you mean!" He rolled up his sleeves and said angrily, "Do you want me to fight Luffy again?"

Beckman suggested: "What can you prove by fighting Luffy? Captain, be generous and fight Lynch."

"Yes, Captain! Let's have a fight! Lynch is right here, what a rare opportunity!" The monsters from the Red Hair Pirates began to howl like wolves, some patted their bellies, some banged their bowls, and some even took their shiny bones and banged them loudly, enjoying the fun.

There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!

Lin Qi looked flattered, pointed at himself, and looked touched yet a little cruel. He rubbed his fists and laughed, "Brother Red Hair, to be honest, I'm your fan!"

"Sit down, sit down." Shanks patted Lynch's shoulder and said earnestly, "Why do young people think about fighting and killing all day long?"

"Hahaha! Captain, just drink it!" Everyone laughed and rushed forward to force Shanks to drink.

Zoro and the others also joined in the fun with a smile. Nami held up a jar of wine and competed with the giants in drinking, which made the giants of Elbaf cheer loudly. They even slapped each other in the face after getting drunk. Robin guessed a little sinisterly: Perhaps it is because of the size and appetite of the giants that it is difficult to always have suitable food to go with the wine, so this kind of... unrestrained and uninhibited custom was formed?

"Hahaha! I won!" Nami put down a wine jar and slammed the wine jar generously, "So I can pick any treasure from your village!"

Robin looked at Nami's flat belly with mermaid-like abs with a curious smile, "Even if she returns with her life, her belly should be swollen after drinking so much water..."

Nami snickered, "Hey, I'm a thunder man..."

"Oh..." Robin seemed to realize something, "Cheating."

"How can something related to the natural sciences be called cheating?" Nami wiped the corner of her mouth, snorted twice, came over to sit down, and nudged Robin with her shoulder. "The red-haired guy said that when Lynch was in the West Sea, he asked him for help, saying 'The Navy is arresting someone'... Is there such a thing? Is that how they met?"

Robin touched Nami's face, "I didn't know you could gossip, right?"

"Curious." Nami blinked.

Robin smiled and told her about the past events in the West Sea 20 years ago... From the first time she met Lynch, they were together, separated, and finally reunited. Lynch was the red-haired man she met during the time they were apart... Nami was listening attentively, and suddenly Robin paused. Nami also heard that Shanks, Lynch, Zoro and the others were talking about a topic that everyone would be interested in.

"You mean, Luffy's rubber fruit was accidentally eaten by you before. It was a spoils of war," Lynch paused. He knew this, but he was a little surprised by the latter part. "And your so-called spoils of war, the rubber fruit, was stolen from the World Government's warship?"

Luffy, with his mouth stuffed like a ball, covered his mouth, and a question mark appeared above his head. Is it related to the World Government? Zoro and Sanji pondered: "Is there something special about the Rubber Fruit?"

"Maybe..." Shanks also looked serious, "Particularly useless?"

Everyone was ashamed. The children in the village who were attending the banquet enviously looked at Luffy who could stuff all the delicious food into his mouth in one breath. How useless! Not only can he eat a lot, but he can also perform comedy! How fun! Shanks waved his hands and laughed: "Just kidding, anyway, that's the case - although we don't know why this thing is worth so many people sent by the World Government to escort it, but since they value it so much, let's grab it and have fun. Who says we are pirates!" He pulled down his eyelids, stuck out his tongue and made a face.

"Yes, we are pirates!" Laki Lu, Jesus Bu and others laughed with their arms around each other.

"I'll bring Binx's wine to you."

"Like the sea breeze, riding the waves as it pleases"

"On the other side of the sea ~ the sunset is also noisy ~"

"The birds' singing ~ draws circles in the sky ~"

Amid the melodious violin music of Brook, the pirate song "Binx's Wine" was sung like ghosts and wolves howling. Luffy also joined in the singing and dancing with chopsticks stuck in his nostrils, making the children and giants laugh.

In the excitement, Lynch took a sip of wine and said casually: "Joey Boy..."

"..." Shanks glanced at him, took a sip of wine, lay down, crossed his legs and said, "It was only later that I began to think so: the rubber fruit is so important to them. No, it should be said that the reason why that person wanted to get it may be only one reason..."

Lin Qi thought for a moment and said, "That elder sister, in her inventory of devil fruit factors, there is no rubber fruit? So she can't make one with her hands?"

Shanks spun the straw hat in his hand, and as it turned, Roger, Luffy's grins, and a vague ancient smile flashed across it.

Shanks said to himself: "The legend of devil fruits has been passed down for thousands of years, almost the same length as the history of this world... But I think this: only the rubber fruit was created by a man named Joy Boy eight hundred years ago."

So, maybe Im heard about this kind of thing, or the Five Elders heard about it and wanted to get the Rubber Fruit and let Im update the database?

Lynch thought about it, shrugged his shoulders and continued drinking.

Over there, Nami took out the permanent record pointer given by Red Hair pointing to the location of the last red stone. The name of the destination was written on the wooden frame - Shuixianxing Island.
