Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 44 Landing in Alabasta, meeting Ace again 1
"There is no problem with the route, we should have arrived in Alabasta..." Nami looked at the record pointer on her wrist and guessed, "Hey, the climate and temperature on Weiwei Sea seem to have stabilized.

"Well, because we have already entered the climate of Alabasta," Weiwei said with a smile.

"Hey, take a look at the back." Sauron looked at the back, "That is also one of the characteristics of entering Alabasta."

"Eh?" Nami and Weiwei looked at the back strangely, and Usopp, who had already taken out the binoculars, became frightened when he saw the back, "No way? Why are there so many ships? And they all have the logo of Baroque Works! !"

"What what?" Luffy opened his eyes wide and looked behind, "Wow~ Really, when did it appear?"

Sanji blew out a smoke ring and said, "Have the members started to gather? Are those the subordinates of high-ranking secret agents?"

"Now go and join them~~~" Luffy shouted excitedly.

"Leave them alone, our goal is Crockdale." Anke said lightly, "If these guys get in the way, let's talk..."

"Hello??" Chopper looked at the boat with nearly 200 people in it, and hid behind the mast in fear. Unfortunately, he only hid his head in again, leaving most of his body outside.

"Indeed~" Sauron said with a smile: "Those senior agents are our opponents, and we must guard against their special abilities."

"In this case, should we make some special markings, after all, the ability of MR-2 is very difficult for you." Encore suggested.

"Why is it so difficult for us?" Sanji asked suspiciously, "Do you have a way to deal with him?"

"Ah, that," Anke smiled innocently, "I'm a child~~ I have a very accurate intuition~~~"

"That's right~~ just rely on intuition, ahaha~~~~" Luffy laughed.

"Ha..." This was the crew member who didn't know how to answer.

"In this case, I have a good idea~" Zoro said with a proud smile.

............................................................

Everyone is carefully wrapping a white bandage on their left hand.Anke looked at the cross drawn on his left hand, then at the bandage on his hand, and smiled secretly: "Double defense?"It's really lucky that Sauron can figure it out. '

"Double defense? It's really not easy for a simple-minded person like you to come up with this," this Encore just finished thinking, and Sanji had already said it. group.

"Ahaha!! So interesting~~~" Luffy looked at them and smiled happily, without any intention of stopping them.

Looking at those three guys, Anke said helplessly: "Stop now, Zoro, Sanji, and Luffy, you too." "Yes..." Luffy said obediently.Sanji and Zoro stared at each other fiercely, and then separated.

"But why is the mark inside using a cross?" Chopper stared at the cross on his hoof and asked curiously.Luffy smiled and said: "Because this is very similar to the Pirate Flag~~ and remember that this is our partner's mark~~" Zoro also reminded: "If you think someone is changed by that guy, just Let him show the proof of being a partner. Only the one who pulls off the bandage to reveal this mark is real."

"By the way, is it really that similar? A person with the ability to imitate fruit." Sanji, who had never seen MR-2, said strangely.

"It's not very similar, but exactly the same!" Usopp said cautiously.Chopper also nodded in agreement, "Really, I can't even distinguish the breath."

"But, what should I do?" Chopper looked at Usopp innocently.Usopp pretended to be very experienced and said: "Ah, just do what you want, and run if you can't beat it!"

"Ha, are you really telling yourself these words?" Sanji folded his hands to expose Usopp's big words.

"Oh! I saw the island~~~" Luffy who was sitting on the sheep's head shouted, "You can go eat~~~"

"Let's go to a city called Narohara. We must hide the boat first." Weiwei, who is familiar with the terrain, suggested.

"Oh!" Luffy ran back to the deck from the sheep's head, stretched out his bandaged hand, and everyone also stretched out their hands tacitly, fists together, "In short, no matter what happens from now on, this is the sign of a partner! "

Looking at the clenched fists, Anke squinted his left eye slightly, and in an instant a faint red flower pattern appeared on the surrounded hands or wings or hooves at a speed invisible to the naked eye, and then disappeared.

"Okay!! Now let's eat first~~ and then go to Alabasta~~" Luffy suggested with a big smile.

"Is this order reversed..."

..................................................................

"Let's eat!!!!!!!!!!" As soon as the boat landed, Luffy shouted and rushed out.

"Really! Didn't you just have dinner?" Nami looked helplessly at the figure of Lu Fei running out, "I really don't know how his stomach grows!"

"This kind of thing can be ignored." Sanji held a cigarette between his fingertips and looked at the town on the edge of the desert. "Now go to the busiest place to find him."

"Ah, I really hope he has the self-awareness that he is being offered a reward..." Nami clutched her head with a headache.

Chopper, who came to the new place, happily put on his blue backpack and jumped off the boat with Sanji.After getting off the boat, Zoro opened his hands back and caught Encore who jumped down with a face towel. After all, Luffy has run away now, and he has to take over this kind of thing.

"Karoo and I can't go ashore at the same time," Weiwei said worriedly, and Kalu nodded beside her.

"Why? Vivi, are you feeling unwell?" Usopp asked as he climbed off the boat.

"Quack! Quack!!" Before Weiwei could speak, she was interrupted by a panicked Kalu.Weiwei looked at the place where Kalu's wings were pointing, and immediately exclaimed, "MR-3's ship?! That's right, that ship is powered by Waxa's ability!"

"What??" Nami looked over, "That candle guy is still alive?"

"Then now we are very likely to be discovered by MR-3," Encore, who was held by Zoro, folded the cloth towel he was holding, and said lightly, "Except for me, Sanji and Chopper, everyone else has been found by MR-3." MR-[-] has seen his own face."

"What should I do? It's easy for people to discover my true identity here, so I'm not going to go ashore." Weiwei looked at the ship a little helplessly, "What should I do now?"

"Hmph, it's okay~" Usopp said proudly, "I have a good idea~~"

..................................................................

"Are you sure this won't be discovered, Usopp?" Anke sat on the walking Chopper with his face covered, while Sanji looked at the puffy man next to him, moving forward speechlessly, with a cigarette in his mouth. on the quilt, "Isn't this easier to be discovered?"

Chopper looked around at the people staring at them in surprise, and said, "Everyone is looking at us..."

"Shut up, Chopper," Encore reminded in a low voice, "You are a deer now."

"Oh……"

"Don't worry, no one can see through my master's camouflage technique!" Usopp quietly lifted a corner of the quilt and looked outside.

"Okay! Climb quickly!" Sauron's unhappy voice came out.

"That's right, I'm so hotheaded to agree with this idea," Nami said through gritted teeth, "Isn't it enough to cover your face like Encore?"

"Okay, Nami, MR-Samurai," Weiwei persuaded kindly, "In short, let's find a place to stop now."

"Quack quack..."

........................................................................

In a deserted corner of the town, Sauron and the others also crawled out of the sheets.After Anke climbed off Chopper's back, he looked in the direction of the town with some caution, and Chopper also returned to the tanuki form standing on two legs.

"Vivi, it's not very noticeable here," Sanji said to Vivi who looked sad, but she didn't get an answer, "Vivi??"

"Ah, yes! Yes!!" Weiwei who was startled couldn't react, "What's the matter??"

"What's the matter? Vivi?" Usopp turned his head and asked, while Karoo kept combing his feathers independently.

"I'm sorry, I just breathed a sigh of relief," Weiwei lowered her eyes slightly after regaining her senses, "I just took a look at this town, at least it seems that there is nothing wrong in the city, although I can't feel at ease, but it should be You still have time……"

"Hey, Weiwei," Sauron folded his hands and said, "You seem to have mentioned that there is a rebellion, right? We'd better act sooner."

"Oh??" Weiwei looked at Sauron in surprise, "That's what you said, but at the beginning it was agreed to just send me to Alabasta...It hurts so much!!" Weiwei suddenly tapped her forehead Nami at once.

"Why are you still talking like this? Weiwei! Aren't we partners?" Nami was still filled with righteous indignation in the previous sentence, but she revealed her true nature in the next second, and leaned in front of Weiwei and said calculatingly: "And , if this country perishes, isn’t there no bonus for sending you back? Is it clear?”

"Yes…………"

"You go to hell," Sauron looked at the guy who took advantage of the fire.

"Ah~~Thank you, Zoro," Nami said 'kindly', "I won't forget the money you owe me~~ Even if I'm a ghost, I won't forget~~"

"You guy..."

"Thank you," Weiwei said in a low voice, with a grateful smile, and then introduced the current situation, "There is an oasis called 'Yuba' not far from here. It is said that the rebel Lord is stationed there. I want to first Go there to stop the rebels, and prepare food and water for Yuba. If MR-3 is here..."

"Ah, just leave this kind of thing to me and Chopper," Sanji said with a smile, "We haven't met him anyway."

"Then, please, Chopper." Usopp bent down and said to the small Chopper.

"Well, I also want to do something within my power," Chopper said as he returned to his deer shape, "I shouldn't have any problems doing this, right?"

"Then please, all the things you want to buy are written here, remember to buy some clothes from the local people." Weiwei explained carefully, "Because we are easily recognized by people now."

"Yes~~~~" Sanji with a heart

"And perfume." Nami said

"Yes~~~~ Nami-san~~~~" Sanji with a heart

"Chili Oil" Usopp
"Food and water to eat." Sauron

"I don't want to buy for you!!" Sanji said impatiently.

"Food and water to eat." Sauron

"Chili Oil" Usopp
"I don't want to buy for you!!" Sanji said impatiently.

After watching Sanji and Chopper leave, Zoro found that Enke hadn't said a word from the beginning to the end, and the cloth towel on his face hadn't been taken off, and his eyes were slightly wary.

"What's the matter, Encore?" Sauron bent down and asked slightly concerned, "You haven't spoken since the beginning."

"It's nothing, it's just a little hot." Encore continued to pull the cloth towel up, revealing only two big eyes, and looked in the direction of the town inadvertently, "judging by this breath, MR-3 is not here, and Luffy is not here either." I don't know where I got lost, but Smokey and Dashiqi are in the town. It seems that they must have a purpose for coming here.But what I care more about is another powerful aura, that familiar feeling, very similar to...'

..................................................................

"Aha~~ This dress is not bad~~" Nami looked at the very revealing dancer costume and said, "I really like this kind of dress~~~~"

"Hmm..." Weiwei looked at the dancer's costume on her body a little embarrassed, and said, "I asked you to buy clothes, Sanji-kun, but this one..."

After carefully helping Anke tidy up her beautiful white dress, Sanji, wearing a local Arabian-style costume, walked around the two beauties with pink bubbles, "Isn't it very good? It's so beautiful~~~ ~"

"But I want ordinary civilian clothes..."

"Dancing girls are also civilians~~~~~"

Holding the overly long skirt, Anke walked slowly to Sauron and Usopp who had changed their clothes and were feasting. "It looks good, but it doesn't suit walking in the desert." When reaching the hem of the skirt, Anke staggered slightly.

"It's okay~~~ I'll just hug you when the time comes~~ahhaha~~~~~"

Looking at the nympho Sanji, Anke suddenly felt that Sauron and Usopp who were dressed like thieves were better now, and even the duck that was drinking a drink was better.

"Speaking of which, what's wrong with Chopper?" Nami looked at the ship doctor who had been lying on the ground, "I've covered my nose since the beginning,"

"Ah, this guy, he was put in the perfume." Sanji explained, suddenly remembered something, and asked Chopper, "Speaking of which, where did you go just now?"

"Ah... a lot of things have happened," Chopper covered his nose hard, "I don't know why I feel that smell is still here, so uncomfortable..."

"That's right, Mr. Tony's nose is more sensitive, maybe he is more sensitive to some stimulating smells..." Weiwei guessed.

"Ah, what about this?" Nami suddenly took out a bottle of perfume and sprayed it on her neck sexyly.

"Stop!!!" Chopper covered his nose and sat up from the ground in fright, but Sanji on the side was red-eyed and bowed down under Nami's pomegranate skirt, "Even if I go to hell, I will love you ~~~~"

"An idiot..." Zoro, who was drinking calmly, commented, while Encore and Usopp nodded in agreement.

"So, is going to the desert next?" Nami asked.

"Well, but I'm still hesitating, because it's more dangerous to cross the desert, and if you take a wrong step, you may die. I don't know if you can adapt to that kind of difficulty, but I really want my country to restore peace," Weiwei said. Suddenly bowed to everyone, "So I want to ask you again, please do your best to help me! Please!"

"Have you finally said it?" Nami smiled and said, "We have been waiting for your words."

"Anyway, it's no different from before." Zoro stood up and said with a smile, "That guy Luffy will definitely not stand by and watch."

"Hey, is the desert dangerous?" Chopper, who had been staying on Winter Island, asked curiously, and then listened to its duck language to explain.

"It doesn't matter to us," Usopp looked at the thin Anke, "Anke's body has always been weak, I'm afraid she won't be able to bear it..."

"This is indeed a problem." Sanji looked at the innocent Enke and said, "I am also worried about the little cutie's body. If something happens, I will be in trouble."

"Hehe..." Anke smiled slightly and said, "Don't worry, everyone. I walked through the desert alone before, and it's no problem."

"Really?" Nami asked worriedly, "Enke, when did you go there?"

"Who knows, it's been too long and I forgot," "I can't tell you that I was chased by the navy and ran into the desert." Luffy, he's back in this town."

I didn't ask An, but how did I know Luffy's whereabouts? Everyone focused on the words 'Luffy, back', "Are you lost again, Luffy..."

..................................................................

Except for Vivi and Kalu who are easy to recognize and still stay where they are, everyone else went out to find Luffy. To be precise, they followed Encore to find him. More precisely, they hugged Encore and were commanded by Encore. Sauron went to find him.

"Hey, uncle, have you seen this man? He should have come to Alabasta by now..." A muscular young man with a white beard and a skull tattooed on his back, wearing an orange hat, came to Alabasta by now... asked in front of a divination booth. .

"Monkey-D-Luffy?? I haven't seen it before," the boss carefully looked at the reward order, pointed to the restaurant not far away and said, "But you can go to that restaurant to have a look, the boss there Wider knowledge."

"The restaurant, I happen to be hungry too, thank you, uncle." The young man bowed politely to the boss, then raised his legs and walked towards the restaurant.

"That logo..." Zoro looked thoughtfully at the skull with the white beard.

And An Ke, who was still covering his face, had a flash of joy when he saw the young man, and hurriedly patted Sauron's hand to let him put him down.As soon as Anke's feet touched the ground, he immediately trotted towards the young man with his skirt up, and said "Luffy is running this way, you go back there and wait for him and Smokey is nearby" and disappeared.

"Ha..." Everyone stared blankly at Enke's happy expression, and then realized the name of the person in Encore's words, "Smoka!!!!"

...............................................................

"Ace, Ace!!!" Anke shouted at the youth in front while running.

The young man who heard the shout turned his head and saw a little doll wearing a gorgeous local costume and covering his face running towards him.Looking at those familiar big purple eyes, he froze for a moment, then smiled softly, squatted down and stretched out his hand, "Yo, Enke, long time no see~~~"

Anke smiled and threw himself into Ace's arms, and said, "Ace, long time no see~~ How have you been these three years? And how did you come here?"

"Oh, it's not bad, I'll explain it to you later, let's go to the restaurant first." Ace picked up Encore with one hand, and continued to walk towards the restaurant with the bag in the other hand, "But since Encore you are here If it's here, Luffy must be nearby, right? Then I don't have to work so hard to find him."

"Ah, Luffy is lost, but you have changed a lot in the past three years," Anke put his arms around Ace's neck and looked at him curiously, then took off the hat on his head, "Ah, isn't this Is it the hat I gave back then?"

"It's indeed that hat, but Luffy's getting lost has become his characteristic," Ace laughed, and looked at the Encore he was holding that hadn't changed, "You're still the same little one. Well, still like a doll...It hurts."

Anke hit Ace on the head hard, and then took the hat back to him, "Don't let me touch you when we meet in three years, Ace. You know the reason."

"Yes..." Ace said knowingly, "But do you always wear a face mask?"

"No, I wear it because the navy is here, and they have seen me." Ankola pulled the cloth towel on his face and said, "I forgot to change my face when I went to sea, otherwise I would have to change my face now." It won't be so troublesome."

"Do they know who you are?" Ace looked around cautiously, after all, it would be very troublesome if Encore was discovered.

"I probably don't know. Speaking of which, the logo behind you is the flag of the Whitebeard Pirates, right? Have you joined the Whitebeard Pirates now?"

"Ah, yes. I'll tell you the detailed process when I eat, I'm almost starving now, ahaha!!!"

..................................................................

"I'll tell you the detailed process when I'm eating..." Anke, who took off his scarf, bit the straw and looked at the young man who was gentle and refined just a second ago. After seeing the meal, he instantly became as if he had been hungry for dozens of days Started to gobble it up, Enke, who was completely ignored, was completely speechless, "Really, the two brothers are like this, and they don't even know who they are when they see Fan." '

With a "touch", Ace suddenly fell down on the table, buried his face in the food, with a piece of meat stuck in the fork in his hand, motionless.

"Ah forgot, this one is more exaggerated, you can sleep while eating..." Anke silently climbed off the chair, pushed the chair away from Ace, and then climbed up to sit, "It's better to wait until Ace is full Let's talk about it, let's just pretend that we don't know each other...'

"Hey, what's wrong with that person??" This is because some guests have noticed Ace's strange behavior, and the guests are curiously surrounded by Ace.

"Did you die?? Could it be that you ate desert strawberries?"

"Desert strawberry? It's the kind of poisonous spider that looks like a red strawberry. If you accidentally eat it, it will die in a few days, and the whole body will emit infectious viruses!"

"No way??" Upon hearing this, the guest immediately moved away from Ace by three meters, and Anke also silently pushed the chair further away, not because she was afraid of the so-called virus, but because the crowd gave her away when they were hiding. exposed.At this time, the outside of the store was already full of spectators.

"!!!" Ace raised his head abruptly, looking around in a daze.

"Ah! Resurrected!!!" The guest screamed, at this time a waitress cautiously went over and asked, "Are you okay?"

After staring at her blankly, Ace suddenly lifted up her skirt to wipe off the food all over her face.But it scared people away.

"Uh, brother..." The boss said tremblingly, "Are you okay?"

"Ah, it's so nerve-wracking, I fell asleep again..." Ace continued to eat, and suddenly lay down on the food again, snoring.

"What, he just fell asleep," the guests slowly dispersed, "so we are still worried about him."
