Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 136 Freestyle Frog
After noon, the bright sun was even more dazzling. In the vast and boundless blue ocean, only a small boat could be seen sailing slowly but did not deviate from its own course.Sanji, Nami, and Robin were still in the kitchen, and Anke was still sitting on the crystal beside the mainmast, basking in the sun, looking up at the blue sky without a single white cloud, and remained silent; Encore just put a Zoro stayed away from her for the sake of safety, stood near the sheep's head and looked ahead, while Luffy, Usopp and Chopper, who had their backs to the sea, talked nonsense near the mainmast, laughing from time to time speak out.

Suddenly, there was a loud running sound from the sheep's head, and Zoro rushed over with an unimaginable disbelief on his face: "Hey! Luffy, there is a frog over there...the frog is swimming freestyle!!!".Hearing the sound, Anke stood on the crystal and squinted his eyes hard to look over. Sure enough, he saw a huge yellow frog five meters in length with many scars on his body and black hair on his head swimming...freestyle...freestyle....Anke silently covered his face, indicating that his worldview had been refreshed. The great route is amazing, maybe next time he will see a crab that is not walking sideways...

"Frog..." Turning back, Chopper looked suspiciously at the frog swimming freestyle in the distance, and tilted his head in doubt, "Is it Encore's illusion?"

"No, Encore didn't use illusion..." Lu Fei clearly twitched his mouth and looked at the frog swimming gracefully.

"I said it's impossible for the frog to swim freely..." Usopp, who turned around while smiling, saw the frog, his eyes popped out instantly, "Wow!!! The frog is swimming free?? ????"

"Catch up!! Brothers!!!"

"Oh!!!"

"Yang Fan can't do it, you need to use oars!! Go in the direction of the hull 2 ​​o'clock!!"

"Oh!!"

"quick!!"

In just a few seconds, Luffy, Usopp, Zoro, and the gigantic Chopper quickly took out their oars and stood on both sides, rowing desperately, and the hull quickly turned in one direction.Encore, who was untouchable, slid out of the smooth crystal due to the turning of the boat, lying on the back of a tiger and looked suspiciously at Luffy and the others who were clenching their teeth and rowing.

"I don't know what's going on, but there's always a feeling that I can't chase!!" A certain green-haired swordsman said, and at the same time he didn't stop rowing.

"But, if you want to catch that frog, just call me~~" He leisurely found a comfortable position on the tiger and sat down, Anke stretched out his right hand and a small white snake coiled around her arm, "Use In the third animal realm, it's easy to catch that frog~~"

"No, that would make Encore very tired!" Luffy replied firmly while paddling, "And, I want to catch that incredible frog with my own hands!!"

Before Anke could ask why, Nami came out of the kitchen angrily and yelled, "Why are you changing the course so casually??"

"Listen to me Nami, we found a seriously injured frog!" Luffy explained loudly, without stopping for a moment, "We must catch it and cook it as a whole frog!! "

"So I want to eat!!" Zoro and Chopper, who were rowing vigorously on the other side, looked at their captain with disdain for a moment, but they rowed obediently after a while. .

"Really..." Nami, holding up her binoculars and looking in front of her, suddenly said doubtfully, "That's... a lighthouse? Why is there a lighthouse in that kind of place? Could there be someone over there..."

"What's wrong?" Luffy asked while rowing, "Did you see the island?"

"No, it's just that there is a lighthouse, and it's not the direction the pointer is pointing..."

"Where's the frog? Tell us the direction of the frog!" Luffy, who only cares about this now, asked loudly, but then changed the subject: "No, no, will there be a navy in that lighthouse??"

Hearing this sensitive topic, Sauron and the others also slowed down their movements, scanning their surroundings worriedly and vigilantly.

"No, that lighthouse doesn't have a navy, only an old man, a little girl and a pet~" He leisurely tidied up the two demon knives tied to his body, Anke jumped off the tiger, patted the tiger with a smile, and the tiger disappeared .Switching back to the first ability, after Encore dyed his left eye back to violet, he smiled and clapped his hands: "Okay, keep working hard to catch frogs~~"

"Okay!" Luffy rowed hard again and continued to ask Nami loudly: "Hey, Nami! Where's the frog??"

"I don't want to tell you..."

"The frog went to the direction of the lighthouse..." Nami's angry words were interrupted lightly, and Robin held up the coffee cup with a calm expression on his face.And Sanji, who was standing on the other side of Nami, stared at the frog with a cigarette in his hand and said his point of view as a chef: "Frogs should be washed with white wine to wash off the slime, and then wrapped in wheat flour and fried into gold." yellow……"

"Wait a minute, Sanji!!" Nami, who felt something was wrong, yelled at Sanji who was next door.

Robin, who was also indifferent, said lightly: "Since the captain said to go, I can only go..."

"Robin..." A certain orange-haired navigator was crying.

"Okay, full speed ahead!!!", Luffy commanded loudly, rowing the boat desperately with concerted efforts.And Enke, who was sitting on the crystal and dangling his legs, smiled and beat the beat: "Come on~~One, two, one, two~~~"

The Golden Merry was getting closer and closer to the lighthouse, and it was also getting closer to the frog. Suddenly, in front of everyone's eyes, the frog jumped up like a high jump.And everyone clearly saw that huge frog wearing... a red loincloth? ?

"Don't let it escape!! Get in front of it and block his way!!", Luffy continued to command loudly.And Anke, who felt a little bad, stood up and let the crystal under her feet gradually rise. The gradually rising height allowed her to have a clear view of the sea in front of her, and the two floating on the sea stretched 10 meters apart. The yellow buoy is very puzzling. There is a ten-meter-high warning light next to the buoy. Not far from the warning light is a house, and next door to the house is a huge light green arch.The yellow buoy connections terminate on either side of the arch.Before Anke could figure it out, the Golden Merry, which was close to the buoy, made a "bump" sound as if it had hit something stiff. The bow of the ship was tilted upwards and stopped there. The huge force made the people on board shake unsteadily to the left. Shake right.And Encore, who was standing on the high crystal, fell directly, and was caught by Luffy without any surprise.The others all fell to the deck.And a certain frog stopped swimming freestyle, but floated in the center of the arch, quietly watching the Golden Merry, as if waiting for something.

"It looks like it's hit the rocks..." Usopp touched his sore head and looked around suspiciously.

And Sanji, who was also touching his head, asked the two beauties next to him: "Miss Nami, Miss Robin, are you not injured?"

Nami, who was still sitting on the ground, smiled and said, "It's not bad...".Robin on the side also nodded: "It's okay..."

"That little cutie...", just as Sanji turned around to ask about encore, he saw a certain straw hat captain who was holding someone free and posed a scissors hand towards himself, smiling brightly as always.

The warning lights suddenly turned on, and the red light made people feel uneasy, and at the same time issued a warning sound of "ding! sound, and a sharp whistle.

"What? What's wrong??" Chopper, who didn't know what happened for a while, looked around in panic, while Luffy, who suddenly became alert, hugged Encore and looked around vigilantly. Zoro quickly stood up and shook his hand. Scanning the nearby houses with the hilt of his sword.

"Is it an enemy attack..." Sanji, who tensed up instantly, kicked the toe of his shoe, biting his cigarette butt, and was also vigilant.And thinking of the enemies from the previous nights, Nami also slowly retreated into the kitchen in fear.The voices were getting closer, and the cold sweat on everyone's foreheads gradually became denser.

Encore, who poked his head out of Luffy's arms, looked at the place where the sound came from, and suddenly his face changed and he shouted loudly: "Everyone, grab the hull! It's going to retreat urgently!!!".While speaking, Violet's left eye turned red again, and the coquettish 'three' summoned nameless sea creatures.

"What??" The others who hadn't reacted suddenly felt a movement at the bottom of the ship, and then without any power, the small but heavy Golden Merry retreated quickly, away from the yellow buoy It stopped after ten meters.Before the standing people had time to adapt, they felt that their feet were staggering, and they were about to hit the hull. Fortunately, Robin, who had already reacted at this time, quickly called out countless hands to support everyone, otherwise they would be hit again. His nose was blue and his face was swollen.

After finally regaining consciousness, everyone heard more and more urgent sirens and approaching roars similar to trains. Before they had time to ask what it was, they were stunned by the scene in front of them: the light blue sky in the distance In the sky, a navy blue train is coming quickly, the front of the car is constantly clearing billowing white smoke, the sharp whistle sounds from time to time in the sky, the contact between the wheels and the track, and the unique "boom boom boom" sound of the train resounds through the air. sky.Trains are not uncommon, but trains walking on the blue sea are rarely heard of. The shiny train body is set off by the blue sea like a masterpiece of God.

Seeing the means of transport with carriages and usually called "trains" on land whizzing by in front of my eyes, everyone on the Golden Merry dropped their jaws to the ground, even a certain calm chick He also widened his eyes in astonishment.

"What the hell is that???" Usopp, who covered his head tightly and stared wide-eyed, looked at the carriage passing by quickly, "Is it a boat??"

"No!! Why... a thing of this shape walks on the sea???" Nami stared blankly at the thing driving towards the door in front of her eyes.Then what surprised everyone again was that it was a huge yellow frog that was originally a food-eating prey. It suddenly stood up on the surface of the sea, put on a fighting posture, and yelled proudly.

"Wow!! Frog! Don't run away! What the hell are you doing???".Luffy yelled at the frog, so loud that Encore, who was nestled in his arms, had tinnitus.

Seeing the train getting closer and closer, the frog roared without fear, and then... was knocked into the air....The people on the Golden Merry watched in astonishment as the frog spun a few times in the air and landed in the distant sea, not knowing whether it was dead or alive.The roaring train passed through the iron gate quickly and gradually disappeared from everyone's surprised eyes, and the ringing alarm bells also fell silent, and the staggered flashing red lights also dimmed their brilliance.Everything was so quiet as if nothing happened.

"The ship is actually blowing smoke!!" The gigantic Chopper, who hadn't retracted his chin yet, looked in disbelief at the direction the train was leaving.And everyone's expressions are almost similar, I can't believe it, but the degree of expression is different, such as Encore who is still smiling but a little confused in his eyes, Zoro and Sanji who are still calm and twitching at the corners of their mouths. The mouthed Robin or the wide-eyed Nami, the expressions of the remaining three can be imagined, which are completely exaggerated.

Suddenly, Anke looked vigilantly at the house not far away, carefully grabbed Luffy's collar and whispered: "Hey, everyone, someone is coming out of that house, it's that little girl..."

"What?" Luffy regained consciousness in an instant, looked suspiciously at the house that was still relatively quiet, and carefully put Encore down and hid it behind him. Others who recovered from Encore's words also slowly Gathered around Luffy, they seemed to stand casually, but they could vaguely see that Luffy and Encore were surrounded in the middle.Seeing other people so cautious, Anke smiled helplessly and said, "Relax, there are only the two of them and one animal nearby..."

"Really, but it's better to be more cautious..." Sauron, who still didn't relax his vigilance, still put his left hand on the hilt casually, ready to draw his sword at any time.

A little girl with two upside-down braids and a red-and-white striped dress slowly walked out of the house, followed by a blue creature that looked like a cat or a rabbit.Seeing the pirate flag flying on the Golden Merry, the little girl ran out excitedly instead of being afraid: "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law!! It's a pirate!!"

"What?? Really? Chimoni?! Okay, bring the phone bug..." There were loud footsteps in the house, and a slightly old female voice was clearly drunk, but She fell at the door the moment she showed her true face. She was about 60 or [-] years old in the stationmaster costume. Her chubby figure, confused eyes and left hand holding a red wine bottle make people wonder if she is serious. For those who work, she wears two yellow ponytails like the little girl.The little girl also obediently ran over to the phone bug.

"What should I do? She seems to be calling for reinforcements." Sauron's knife was slightly out of its sheath, and the sharp light of the knife was hidden in the scabbard. "Do you want to get rid of her first?"

"Reckless action will make people suspicious..." Anke blinked her purple left eye and smiled innocently, "Don't worry, even if you get through the phone, the people over there will not be able to hear her~"

Sanji said in a low voice: "Little cutie, first use illusion to hide yourself. Everyone, remember not to mention cutie's name. After all, after what happened last time, we should be more careful..."

"Why are you so sneaky? Wouldn't it be enough to just beat those people away?" Luffy clenched his fists and said dissatisfiedly, but he still stood in front of Encore carefully.

"Luffy, you have to know that we still don't know the details of the enemy, and those guys are likely to know all about Encore's information. If we try to hide Encore's identity when necessary, now that we all know, we We must try our best to be foolproof!" Nami, who stretched her hands behind her waist, also explained in a low voice, then bent slightly and said to An Ke, who was blinking her big eyes and pretending to be innocent: "I have wronged you, An Ke Yes~”

"Don't be wronged~~ Anyway, I don't care~~", leisurely walked around in front of Luffy, Anke smiled and said to Zoro and the others who wanted to catch her back and hide behind: "Also, you are now Stretching out your hand to the air must be funny to outsiders~~”

"What??" Sauron and the others, who could not understand for a moment, looked at each other, while Luffy smiled heartily, then pointed to Encore who was climbing up the side of the boat and said in a low voice: "Encore has already used the illusion of invisibility. , This kind of illusion is impossible for outsiders to see, but we don't think there is anything unusual~~"

"..." Silently withdrew his hand, Sauron and the others tried their best to ignore Encore who was sitting at the front, and hypnotized themselves to treat her as if she didn't exist.And over there, the little girl Chimony had brought the phone bug and put it in front of her mother-in-law who was sitting on the ground, "Mother-in-law, mother-in-law! Here comes the phone bug!!"

"Okay!!" Grabbing the phone, the mother-in-law dialed a few numbers with the other hand and then shouted loudly: "Hello! That... I want to say something... I forgot...".After finishing speaking, he hung up the phone, hiccupped, and smiled silly.

Seeing all this, Usopp frowned instantly: "What?? So he was drunk!!"
