Chapter 52 Movie (Part 2) [VIP]
The Buggy Pirates have their own patrol team, responsible for protecting the security around their base and searching for guerrillas who dare to resist.
Although the place where the Straw Hat Pirates anchored was not a port, it was sandwiched between the Buggy Pirates' base and the village, and was the place where guerrillas appeared most frequently.
The patrol team soon discovered the uninvited pirate ship.
Seeing the few people above from afar - especially after seeing the bounty order and confirming that these guys didn't even have a bounty, this group of pirates looked at each other and made the worst choice.
Instead of going back to inform Boss Buggy, they planned to rob the person first and then go back to claim the credit. It would be even better if they could hide some treasure at the same time.
With this thought in mind, they rushed towards the pirate ship.
Then, Zoro, drawing his three swords, defeated them easily.
"Well done, Zoro!"
Usopp waved his fist triumphantly, looking proud that "the three of us together are invincible."
Vivi, who ran out of the cabin after hearing the noise, looked surprised.
"Is this...are these residents of the island? Or pirates? Why are you suddenly fighting?"
"They started it first." Zoro put away the knife in his mouth, explained, and then jumped ashore on the side of the ship, placing the blade in his hand on the neck of a man on the ground.
He asked sternly, "Hey, I know you're awake, hurry up and answer the question!"
Even with his eyes closed, the person pretending to be unconscious felt the murderous intent and quickly opened his eyes to show that he was willing to cooperate.
In response to Zoro's questioning, the pirate explained the story of how the Buggy Pirates occupied this place in detail.
Just then, Luffy and Sanji, who had gone to find a doctor, ran back from a distance.
"We found a way to save Nami!"
Luffy said excitedly, rushing into the cabin to share the good news with Nami.
Sanji stopped beside the pirates and thought briefly before coming to a conclusion, "We can't let them go back."
Once they return, they will immediately inform Bucky, and then it will become more difficult for them to go up the mountain.
Zoro did not disagree with Sanji, and he also agreed to leave these people here for the time being.
However, these few words obviously caused the pirates to misunderstand.
The pirate's face immediately turned pale, and he flipped his hand hidden behind his back and threw Buggy's special smoke bomb at the two of them.
Zoro and Sanji reacted quickly, one swung his sword and the other kicked, but these attacks were exactly what the pirates wanted.
A smoke bomb will only explode when it is hit by an external force. The greater the power of the attack, the wider the range of the smoke explosion.
A cloud of white, choking smoke immediately enveloped everyone.
When the smoke cleared, the pirates had already disappeared.
"Luffy—why did you bring Nami out here?!"
Vivi's panicked shout attracted the attention of Zoro and Sanji, who wanted to chase the pirates.
Looking back, I saw Luffy carrying Nami on his back. Nami was wearing a cotton coat and her face was abnormally red, with a matter-of-fact expression on his face.
"To see a doctor, of course." He smiled a huge, bright smile. "I've already told Nami I'll take her to the top of the mountain!"
"But, but, Nami's current condition doesn't allow..."
Vivi wanted to persuade him again, but at this moment, Nami, who was lying on Luffy's back, barely raised her head and said something weakly but firmly.
"I believe...Luffy." After saying that, she lay back down.
The words just now had exhausted the little strength she had now.
"That's it, we need to heal Nami as soon as possible."
Luffy and Nami's insistence made Vivi swallow the words she wanted to dissuade them.
At this point, we can only trust this young captain.
She took a deep breath and exhaled, "It's no use carrying it like this. I'll find a rope to tie it tighter."
"Then I'll leave it to you."
Luffy smiled brightly.
"We will go together as Miss Nami's knights."
Sanji lit another cigarette, his eyes firm and serious, his golden hair blown by the wind.
Zoro didn't say he wanted to go together, but he promised earnestly, "Leave the ship to me."
Those escaped pirates will definitely bring more people to retaliate, so they need someone to guard the ship, and Zoro is the best candidate.
Usopp looked around and saw that Luffy, Zoro and Sanji had all found their tasks. He was so anxious that sweat broke out on his forehead. He pointed at himself and squeaked for a while, then gritted his teeth.
"I'll go too!" Under the surprised and even suspicious gazes of several people, he said with a risky attitude: "The Buggy Pirates can't send all their people here. If they knew Nami was sick, they would definitely do everything they could to prevent us from going up the mountain!"
This made sense. Since he wanted to go together, Luffy and Sanji had no reason to refuse.
Luffy responded readily.
Sanji tapped Usopp's head, warning him not to delay Miss Nami's treatment.
The four of them set off immediately and ran towards the highest barrel-shaped mountain.
Shortly after they set off, the pirates who had managed to escape broke into Buggy's tent in panic.
"Boss Buggy! Boss Buggy, something bad has happened—!"
"There are pirates! A group of pirates has come to our territory!"
Bucky, who was adjusting the parameters of the artillery shell, was startled and almost picked up the artillery shell and hit his foot.
Fortunately, they dodged quickly and the cannonballs hit the ground with a "bang". Buggy, after a brief surprise, angrily punched the heads of those reckless pirates.
"You idiots, you're just a bunch of pirates, what's there to be afraid of?"
Bucky pulled his fist back and waved his hand impatiently, "I'm busy right now. Find a few more guys and go take them out together."
"Boss, those pirates are too strong. The guy with the three swords is like a madman. He can't—"
Before he could finish his words, the pirate's eyes blurred and Buggy's face suddenly came so close that he almost poked his red nose into his face.
"What did you say? What's that guy with three knives? Tell me more details!"
Bucky thought of a guy who also had three knives.
When he endured humiliation and tried his best to persuade the Straw Hat Pirates to go to the Grand Line, the guy with three swords was the worst to him.
The pirate recounted the entire story.
Of course, he could not reveal the truth about his greed for money while whitewashing the reason for the action.
When he heard that the bow of the pirate ship was a sheep's head, Buggy was 100% sure that the pirates were the Straw Hat Pirates.
But...how did they come to Drum Island?
Bucky narrowed his eyes and felt that things would not be so simple.
The routes of the Grand Line are fixed, and he knows where he will end up if he follows the record pointer given by Senior Kurokas.
"Hey, you idiots, don't you have any valuable information to tell me?"
Bucky was very dissatisfied with the performance of this group of stupid subordinates. At least they were not as good as his previous subordinates.
He placed an advertisement for circus recruitment in the newspaper and posted a picture of the pirate group's flag. If they were smart, they would definitely come to find him.
He was distracted for a second, wondering sadly if those guys had seen the job ad he had posted...
At this moment, one of the pirates who were racking his brains to make a contribution suddenly had an idea.
"Right! When we were captured, I thought I heard someone shouting... shouting... that they had found a way to save... something - anyway, something like that!"
"Yes, I heard it too. It seems to be about saving Nami!"
"Me too, I can testify!"
Bucky came to his senses, and combined with his knowledge of the island, he immediately understood.
So that's how it is. The woman from the Straw Hat Pirates was sick, so they came to this medical superpower to find a doctor.
But the only doctor left on the island is the one on the top of the mountain.
Thinking of this, Buggy's mouth curled up into a cruel grin, "Pass my order - everyone assemble!"
*
On the top of the highest barrel mountain on Drum Island, a majestic castle stands quietly in the wind and snow.
The original owner of the castle has left, and the current owner is a 140-year-old man.
Despite her age, she is still strong, even stronger than some young people. She drinks bottle of plum wine one after another without any effort at all.
She is a witch with a strange personality, lonely and cruel, and she raises a timid and peculiar reindeer.
"Doctor Doriel—the artillery fire outside has stopped, and the pirates below seem to have made new moves!"
A reindeer with a blue nose, walking upright, wearing a pink hat, and even speaking human language rushed into the room, holding a telescope on one hoof.
Although the howling wind and snow made it difficult to see the pirate base below, the sound of cannons that had not been heard for more than ten minutes still proved that something new had happened on the pirate side.
That group of scary guys were firing at the Yuantong Mountain here almost every moment. Fortunately, Yuantong Mountain was considered a peak, and there was a large snow-capped mountain below.
The snow on the snow-capped mountains and the animals living on them have had a significant impact on the pirates below.
It was difficult for Buggy and his men to transport the cannons to a place closer to Barrel Mountain. Therefore, the shells fired from afar would not pose a real threat to Barrel Mountain except for causing avalanches.
After all, the purpose of Buggy and the others driving people away was to move into the castle themselves.
If the barrel mountain really collapsed, they wouldn't be able to live in it.
But as time went on, the power of the Pakistani shells became stronger and stronger.
A cannonball fired not long ago even caused the castle to tremble.
This is why Chopper, the reindeer who ate the Animal-type Devil Fruit, took a telescope to see what was happening below.
Seeing that Doctor Doriel remained unmoved, Chopper became anxious, "Doctor Doriel, do we really have to live here?"
He was a little afraid that the pirates would attack him, or that the Barrel Mountain would collapse and they would be buried directly under the ruins of the castle.
With a thud, Kuleha slammed the bottle down and said sternly, "What are you afraid of? If they dare to attack us, just beat them back!"
"Me?" Chopper stepped back suddenly and hid behind the door in a way that almost exposed his whole body.
"Me, me, me, I'm going to fight them?!" Under the gaze of Doctor Doriel, he belatedly moved his feet and finally hid in the doorway, with only half of his head and a reindeer antler showing.
