Chapter 51 Movie (I) [VIP]
For Shanks, watching movies is really a very novel experience.
Although Den Den Mushi can indeed store and play videos, due to its high price, sometimes a village is lucky to have only one voice-activated Den Den Mushi, and it is impossible to have even a projection-activated Den Den Mushi.
The Red Hair Pirates can afford to buy projection Den Den Mushi. They even have not just one, but several, some of which are even thrown into a corner by Shanks.
But businessmen can't just make money from people who have projector denden mushi.
In this world, it is difficult for films to find a market. The most businessmen can do is to make some music cassettes so that they can sell them and make more money.
After all, music is a form of entertainment that can enrich your image simply by listening to it, which is why singers are so popular in this world.
The lights around dimmed, leaving only the large screen in front illuminating the blue sea.
To be honest, Shanks was a little wary at first.
As the light dimmed, he even put his hand on the hilt of the sword.
However, nothing happened. Yale seemed not to notice his movements at all and was just staring at the screen intently.
Shanks withdrew his hand and returned his attention to the screen.
The sound of the waves brought the unique damp fishy smell of the sea.
The snowflakes falling from the sky made the sea breeze blowing towards the ship seem a little unkind.
On a sheep-head pirate ship, noisy sounds continued to be heard.
When Shanks saw the figure sitting cross-legged on the sheep's head wearing a familiar straw hat, he was stunned and looked at Yale with surprise, who had a calm expression.
“There’s so much snow. I’m so happy!”
"Luffy, aren't you cold dressed like this?"
"The temperature has dropped to -10 degrees Celsius, the temperature at which bears hibernate."
The concerned voices of his companions finally made the excited Luffy notice the change in temperature.
When a snowflake landed on the tip of his nose, he finally realized what was happening, hugged his arms and shouted, "It's so cold!"
The roar of his companions' complaints rang out, causing Shanks to smile as he watched the scene.
It's been 10 years since we last met, but Luffy is still the same as I remember him.
She clamored to get on his boat, and then was casually distracted by a bowl of fried rice.
"This is... Magnetic Drum Island?"
Shanks recognized the distinctive winter island.
The cylindrical mountains on the island are very recognizable.
Yale didn't say anything, but just stuffed another piece of seastone into his mouth.
There was no chewing sound, so Shanks suspected that he might have swallowed it directly.
Since the other party didn't say anything, Shanks tactfully stopped asking and just started watching the movie plot again seriously.
It seems that someone in the Straw Hat Pirates is sick, and they need to go to the island to find a doctor.
The ones who went to look for her were Luffy and Sanji, while the rest, Zoro, Usopp and Vivi, stayed on the ship to take care of the sick Nami.
The strong wind carrying snowflakes blocked the view, and the snow was thick enough to reach the ankles, making the journey extremely difficult.
Sanji was holding a cigarette in his mouth, squinting his eyes to look at the road, and occasionally pulling Luffy's collar who was running around, while muttering to himself.
"This isn't good. This kind of bad weather... Is this an uninhabited island?"
"No!" Luffy said firmly.
"I believe Weiwei, there must be a doctor here!"
Sanji sighed helplessly, and his distinctive circle-shaped eyebrows frowned even tighter.
"I also hope there will be a doctor here..." He glanced to the side, and then immediately pushed Luffy.
The sound of gunfire was drowned out by the whistling wind.
The bullet passed through the air between the two men and sank into the snow.
Sanji quickly locked onto the shooter's location and rushed over without hesitation.
Luffy stuck his butt out, dug his head out of the snow, shook off the snow on his hair, picked up his straw hat and put it back on.
By this time, Sanji had already efficiently captured the guys who were hiding.
They were wearing white coats and were difficult to see against the white snow.
At this moment, the people who were knocked down all had expressions of hatred on their faces.
"Damn pirates, go to hell!"
"I'll fight you!"
“This is our land!”
Those people crawled out of the snow and wanted to continue attacking them.
However, at this moment, a thunderous sound of artillery fire rang out, and a large pit visible to the naked eye appeared somewhere on the mountain not far away, and the accumulated snow rolled down the mountain.
"No——!" Expressions of despair appeared on the faces of those people.
Without even bothering to pick up their guns, they ran towards the avalanche regardless.
Luffy and Sanji looked at each other and realized that if they wanted to find a doctor, they had to follow the people in front of them.
Following them, the two soon arrived at a small village. The sudden avalanche had crushed several houses, and people were digging out the people buried under the snow.
Luffy and Sanji also helped, and with everyone's efforts, the person buried in the snow was finally dug out.
Fortunately, he was still breathing and was just temporarily unconscious.
Seeing them busy taking care of the unconscious person, although I don't want to disturb them, the Straw Hat Pirates also have patients who need urgent treatment.
Luffy waved his hands and shouted: "Hey, we are here to find a doctor. Do you know where the doctor is?"
Only then did those people notice them again, but they were wary.
"They are pirates. I saw them land on the island with my own eyes!"
"They must be in cahoots with those pirates!"
"Get out of here and find your pirate leader, or we'll shoot!"
"Hey, do you hate us so much after meeting us for the first time?"
Sanji said helplessly: "Someone on our ship is sick, we are just looking for a doctor."
"That's right!" Luffy nodded vigorously.
"Tell us where the doctor is quickly, we are in a hurry!"
"You--" The man with the loaded shotgun was stopped by another person next to him.
The man was wearing a green robe and carrying a violin on his back. Although his expression was serious, there was not much hostility in his eyes.
Everyone around him seemed to trust him. Before and after he arrived, all those who were hostile to Luffy and Sanji put down their guns.
"Are you pirates from the Buggy Pirates?" the man asked.
Luffy and Sanji were both stunned.
Then, Luffy showed a look of disgust and waved his hands to refute the three consecutive attacks without hesitation.
"How is that possible? Of course not. How could we be pirates of the Buggy Pirates?"
"We are the Straw Hat Pirates, and this silly-looking guy is my captain."
Sanji pointed at Luffy, as if he himself found it hard to accept that this idiot was his captain.
"We have nothing to do with the Buggy Pirates. We even have a grudge against each other. Buggy was once defeated by this idiot."
"That's right!" Luffy nodded, trying hard to look reliable.
Those people were stunned. They didn't expect that the two pirates in front of them could defeat the Buggy Pirates.
But if they could really defeat Bucky... some people's eyes lit up.
"My name is Dalton, the leader of the Civilian Guard. Come with me. If you need a doctor..."
A few months ago, Drum Island experienced a pirate attack. The king abandoned his people and fled. Dalton was the only official willing to stay and fight with everyone.
Later, when the pirates left, he took over Drum Island, saving it from chaos and quickly winning the trust of the people.
People thought they could live a good life from then on, but the good times didn't last long. Another group of pirates appeared on the island - the Buggy Pirates.
They wanted to occupy this place, and the people on the island naturally refused to give in.
They fought, and the people on the island temporarily gained the upper hand by virtue of their adaptability to the environment.
But the Buggy Pirates had a large number of people. They stationed themselves on the island and gradually took control of the situation with the help of special cannons.
Dalton could only fight guerrilla warfare with those who were willing to resist, and deal with the pirates with difficulty.
This is also the reason why the people Luffy and Sanji met hated pirates so much. Their homes had been occupied by pirates twice.
Because it is difficult for the Buggy Pirates to capture them, the pirates temporarily focus their attention on the castle on the top of the highest mountain.
King Wapol once lived there. After Wapol fled, the person living there now is the only doctor left on the island.
The 140-year-old doctor had a strange personality and was called the "witch" by people.
They couldn't contact her, and her visits down the mountain were irregular.
The Buggy Pirates planned to use artillery fire to force the doctor away and move into the castle themselves.
And that doctor is not someone to be trifled with either. She seems to have a strange animal that no one has ever seen before.
The animal worked with her to repel several pirate attacks, forcing the Buggy Pirates to use special artillery shells to force the other side to abandon the castle.
If the Straw Hat Pirates really must find a doctor on this island, they can only go through the territory of the Buggy Pirates and climb up the mountain.
"I understand!" Luffy said without hesitation.
Sanji raised his eyebrows, somewhat doubting whether what this person said was true or not.
"It's strange that there is only one doctor in a country..."
Dalton sighed. "There used to be many doctors, but our last king drove them all away... It's a long story, but this is the current situation on our island."
"It's okay, we'll see that doctor!"
Luffy rubbed his hands together, made a decision and rushed outside, "I'll go get Nami, and we'll go find a doctor together!"
"Hey! It would be better to find a doctor first and then go back to Miss Nami!"
Sanji chased after him and hurriedly said to Dalton, "I trust you for now. We will repay this kindness!"
Dalton didn't respond, but just stood at the door and watched their backs disappear in the wind and snow.
"Dalton!" A man hurried over from the side.
"Where are those two pirates?"
Dalton's face turned serious, "They're gone. What happened?"
"The brother who is responsible for monitoring the movements of the Buggy Pirates has returned to report that the pirates of the Buggy Pirates have come into conflict with a sheep-head pirate ship!"
The author has something to say:
