Pirate's Steel Chain Finger

Chapter 39 Xialong Festival

The great route cannot be speculated by common sense at all.

The seasons and weather here are fickle.The sun was shining brightly one second ago, and the next second there might be a few bolts of lightning in the sky!It was a crisp autumn weather yesterday, and today I woke up to find that the deck was covered in thick snow.

Perhaps without paying attention to the record pointer, your heading will be reversed 180 degrees.The sea here is like this, neither the wind nor the sky nor the waves nor the clouds can be trusted.The only thing that remains unchanged is the direction pointed by the record pointer.

…………

Today's weather is spring, turning to summer.

The Beagle sailed out of the Twin Gorges at the foot of the Upside Down Mountains and headed towards the town of Tanar.

The sun was warm and the sea was calm.

Victor lay leisurely on the deck chair on the edge of the deck with a pillow in one hand, flipping through the popular novel of the great route that Kulokas had given him.

Standing on the deck, Wu Hongji closed her eyes as if she was drawing her sword, trying to find the glimmer of inspiration she had when she was fighting the 'Demon Sword Maker' Fleming.

Perona was sitting on the top of the cabin, dangling her slender legs, humming a gloomy song and gnawing on an apple.A large number of ghosts formed a watch team and hovered over the ship, constantly monitoring changes in sea currents and weather.

Robin was sitting in the cabin, sorting out the relevant information of the islands on their route against the chart.

"Brother, turn right 47 degrees."

"Okay, turn right 47 degrees...done."

From time to time, such short conversations were heard on board.Under Perona's excellent navigation skills and Victor's exquisite control, the Beagle gave full play to its speed advantage and headed towards Tanar Town at high speed.

Day 5 after sailing from Twin Gorges.

"Passengers of the Beagle, please bring your luggage and get ready to disembark. Tanar Town is here~"

Perona's cheerful voice spread throughout the Beagle.

Wu Hongji poked her head out from the kitchen: "So fast? Didn't it mean that the flight would take at least 8 to 10 days?"

Victor, who was adjusting the sails, smiled slightly: "The speed of the Beagle is superb. If it weren't for the fact that he was not familiar with the climate and currents when he first came to the Great Route, the trip could be shortened by about one day."

Wu Hongji looked at the sea level in the distance, and the outline of Tanar Town could already be vaguely seen in front of her: "Where are the Robin people?"

"Hehehehehe~ She went to get us pocket money."

As soon as the words fell, Robin walked out of the cabin with a suitcase, and said with a smile: "10 Berry pocket money per person."

"Oh yeah~~" Perona and Wu Hongji cheered.

Victor smiled: "Everyone, go change your clothes and prepare to land."

Not long after, the Beagle gradually approached the port of Tanar Town.

Today seems to be an important festival in Tanar Town.There are at least 50 large and small ships moored densely around the port, and colorful banners and festive pennants are hung on the pier. It is so crowded with people.

"Victor, do you need someone to guard the boat?" Wu Hongji changed into a red and black casual outfit, which was similar in color to Perona's gothic skirt.

"No need, just take your belongings and disembark."

After everyone disembarked and stood on the pier, Victor flicked his finger, and a 'guiding zipper' flew to the hull, and the power of the devil fruit was instantly transmitted to the Beagle and began to change its shape.

"Resin zipper capsule hotel."

Layers of resin zippers are arched into a dome, completely covering the upper space of the entire hull without leaving any gaps.

The passing crowd stopped involuntarily, staring at this astonishing act in astonishment.It's not that they haven't seen Devil Fruits before, but it's very rare for them to be able to do this.

This can be regarded as an invisible demonstration and deterrence.

After completing the 'coating' for the Beagle, Victor hooked his index finger and retracted the 'guide zipper':
"Okay, let's go, everyone is free to move, and we will meet at the Beagle in the evening."

Perona and Wu Hongji walked happily together, and went to the famous tourist food street that Robin had explained to them before.And Robin followed Victor closely, wanting to secretly enjoy this rare private date.

Victor was also happy to go shopping with Robin. After all, he didn't do any travel guide for Tanar Town, and Robin knew a little more.

Unlike the Kingdom of Flowers, there are no special food stalls on the pier in Tanar Town, and most of them are merchant ships and civilian fishing boats trading or transporting goods.

The two walked straight across the pier, which ended in a huge arched porch festooned with festive pennants.

When approaching the arched porch, it seems that the volume control button is suddenly turned to the end, and the hustle and bustle of people rushes towards the face.

The laughter of adults and children, the smell of food, the ribbons dancing in the sky, and the bustling people on the street!

Today is the most important festival of the year in Tanar Town - the Chalong Festival!

There are crowds on both sides of the street, some are local residents, but more are tourists from other places.Every stall exuding the aroma of food was full of people, and children were reluctant to leave for a long time around the stalls selling festive masks and souvenirs.

In the middle of the road is a long column of exquisitely shaped paper models of dragons.The shape of each dragon is different, but without exception, they are all made with special care.The producers stood in front of their own works and happily exchanged ideas with other producers, or explained to the onlookers with all their heart.

Infected by the festive atmosphere, Victor and Robin walked slowly along the street with smiles on their faces.

"The Xialong Festival is an important festival that has been passed down in Tanar Town since ancient times. Every year at this time, almost every family in the town will spontaneously build a paper model of a dragon and put it on the street for everyone to admire, commemorating 300 years ago The hero who saved the town of Tanar - 'Paper Dragon' Angie Wells."

The two were attracted by the smell of food and stopped in front of a booth.Taking advantage of the queuing time, Robin began to explain the customs of Tanar Town to Victor.

"Oh? 'Paper Dragon'? It sounds amazing." After queuing for a while, it was Victor's turn.He spent 400 Berry on two snacks 'Binbin Prue' and handed one to Robin.

'Bimbin Prue', a grilled sausage with a unique flavor, is cut into even thick slices and placed in a carton, and then sprinkled with a lot of yellow mustard and grated cheese.If customers like spicy food, they can also take a thin chili from the stall for free. This is the special chili 'Mercy Green' in Tanar Town, which is amazingly spicy.

Robin thought about it, but still didn't take the chili pepper, and put a piece of cheese-covered sausage into his mouth with a bamboo stick, smiling so much that his eyes narrowed slightly.The two stood in the shade and slowly ate snacks. Robin continued to explain to Victor:

"'Paper Dragon' Angie Wells, the great thief who became famous in the sea 300 years ago, is an origami man who ate the fruit of origami. He can fold his body arbitrarily, and turn into various paper model forms as he likes, and the paper on his body is still It can be as hard as a sword. In addition, after he successfully steals, he will leave a small origami animal. One day, his hometown Tanar Town was invaded by the Penguin Pirates led by the great pirate "King Penguin" Di Nabo Suddenly, even the garrison navy was wiped out by this group of ferocious pirates. At the critical moment, the "paper dragon" turned into a paper bird and rushed back to his hometown alone, fighting against the pirate army of thousands of people. In the end, he Turned into a huge paper dragon and defeated all the invaders, but died of exhaustion. The people of Tanar Town commemorated this great hero who turned his prodigal son back, and designated that day as the 'Shalong Festival'."

Victor was a little fascinated when he heard it: "One person fights against the army of thousands. Even after countless artistic processing, the battle scene at that time must be amazing... Is this 'Binbin Puru' delicious?"

"Well, delicious!" Robin nodded with a smile.

"Come on, I see a drink stand ahead." The two walked slowly towards the stand ahead.

At this time, several men in black wearing holiday masks stopped in front of the two.The first man with a well-proportioned figure said slowly:
"Mafia Victor, 'The Chain', can we have a chat?"

Victor raised his eyebrows: "I don't like chatting with guys who hide their heads and show their tails."

Robin was a little panicked, she subconsciously hid her body behind Victor.

Even without the special domineering 'Apocalypse' for identification, Victor can still guess the identities of the guys opposite.

Cipher Pol, the spy agency representing the world government, is referred to as CP.
