Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 52 Move to Albana
The gambling city 'Rain Feast' is a building built in the lake, only one bridge leads there, and the front is already in chaos.

"Wow!! I'm MR-Prince!!!" The gigantic Chopper clenched his fists, roared ferociously, and kept knocking people flying.Encore, who was hiding not far away, looked at the cute ship doctor with a calm face, and looked at Sanji, who was already standing in the casino, smoking a cigarette with yellow glasses.

At this time, a man biting a cigar and with a knife mark on the bridge of his nose came out of the casino, followed by MISS-ALLSunday, it seemed that he was Crockerdale.

"Are you MR-Prince?" Crockdale said coldly, but Chopper didn't answer, but turned and ran away.Encore carefully hid his figure, silently watching Crockdale and MISS-ALLSunday.

"Are you going to chase it?" MISS-ALLSunday asked with a smile, not caring at all whether the members who fell on the ground were dead or alive. "He just killed all my club members, he really pissed me off!!" Crockdale gritted his teeth fiercely, his lower body turned into sand and chased after Chopper.

MISS-ALLSunday also followed slowly. When she just stepped out of the bridge, the bridge suddenly exploded and sank in the lake. MISS-ALLSunday just looked back and continued his actions.

Encore came out after seeing Crockdale and MISS-ALLSunday leave the rain feast.After seeing Sanji smoking a cigarette and slowly walking into the rain banquet, Anke gave a rare compliment: "Tune the tiger away from the mountain? It's pretty good!!"

Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one in the corner, after An Ke hid his figure, he quickly rushed to the Rain Banquet, made a few crystal steps on the lake, and stepped on them into the casino.The guests have started to stir up a commotion, and Sanji has managed to find Vivi with blood on her face.

"Can you tell me, where are they? Princess?" Sanji said gentlemanly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped hard on the head by Encore who came.

"Don't be so cool, we don't have much time." Anke, who was still covering his face, said calmly, and then directed Weiwei who was a little surprised: "Lead the way now, Weiwei."

"Ah, yes!! This way!" Although it was strange that Anke came out of nowhere, Weiwei had no time to care about this now, so she hurried forward with her people.

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

In a spacious room, Luffy, Zoro, Nami, and Usopp are locked in a cage.Even Smokey was locked in, and the water kept pouring into the room, up to the thighs.A huge yellow alligator with a banana on its head surrounds the cage.The walls of the room are transparent aquariums, in which more than a dozen yellow crocodiles are fed.

"Crystal City!!" Accompanied by a tender voice, all the water in the room turned into crystal except the cage, even the crocodile turned into crystal.

"Wow!! Encore!! Sanji!!" Seeing the person Vivi brought, Usopp excitedly grabbed the iron fence of the cage and shouted: "Hurry up and cut down the cage! It was completely flooded within an hour!!"

At this time, the iron gate shutting the crocodiles opened suddenly, and the crocodiles crawled out one after another. "It doesn't matter how many you come, you guys who don't respect ladies," Sanji slowly raised his legs with a cigarette in his mouth, and said coldly, "I have to teach you good dining etiquette!"

"Come on, Encore! Sanji!! Hurry up and beat them to pieces!!" Luffy and Usopp shouted excitedly.Looking at the crocodiles, Smokey suddenly said, "Fifth only has the key to this iron cage!!" Luffy asked in amazement, "How do you know??"

Smoker said with a little contempt: "Are your ears for decoration? Its voice is exactly the same as the one who swallowed the key just now." Luffy and Usopp were stunned by Smoker for a moment, admiring him Shouted: "Are you amazing?? Are you a genius??"

"Key??" Sanji looked at the cage and immediately rushed towards the crocodiles.Anke also rushed to Luffy's cage, and Weiwei stayed on the stairs for safety.

"Encore! Be careful, this cage is made of sea stones!" As soon as Sauron spoke, Nami shouted from behind: "Encore, there is a crocodile behind! It's the crocodile that swallowed the key!! "

Encore didn't turn around, because Sanji was already behind her. "It's not okay to bully a child, crocodile bastard, especially when the child is a lady." Sanji kicked up hard, hitting the crocodile's waist, and the powerful force made the huge crocodile fly out.

Seeing the crocodile spit out a ball, Luffy and the others shouted excitedly: "The key!!" But they were disappointed when they took a closer look. It was just a huge white ball.

"It doesn't matter if you have the key or not, Luffy." Enke who ran to the cage smiled and looked at Luffy who was soaked in water inside and said, "I can also open this cell."

"That's right!" Nami remembered and said excitedly: "Encore's crystal ability can also reshape objects!" Seeing Encore, Smoker frowned tightly, clenched his teeth, and his eyes were full of anger. After all, the humiliation that night was an insult to his naval status.

Sanji was still studying the ball, Encore looked carefully at the keyhole, made a crystal key with his right hand, inserted it and twisted it, and there was a "click".Luffy and Usopp, who thought the door was open, turned the door open impatiently, but found that the door was still motionless, and Luffy who touched the sea stone fell limply in the water, and Sauron hurriedly grabbed him.

Anke raised his hand, looked at the broken key in his hand, tilted his head strangely, and blinked innocently at Luffy and the others.

The cage was instantly quiet, and the corners of Nami's mouth twitched when she regained her senses, "Speaking of which, aren't crystals particularly fragile?" Encore nodded, and the cage was once again quiet.

"Candle...Release!!" The white ball suddenly burst from the middle, and MR-3, who was almost as thin as a man, emerged from it. After looking around, he ran to Luffy's cage, regardless of the sea tower above. Stone, desperately fished water out of it to drink, Luffy and Usopp glanced at each other, and splashed water on him at the same time.

"Phew~~I'm finally saved~~I thought I was going to die~~" After drinking water, MR-3 became refreshed, and even the word '3' on his head stood up. MR-3 sat on the ground happily, and suddenly picked up something when his hand touched it: "What is this??"

"Wow! The key!!" Seeing what MR-3 was holding, Luffy, Nami, and Usopp grabbed the fence excitedly again, but Luffy slid down again weakly.

"The key? The cage? The water that keeps pouring in?" MR-3 looked at the key in his hand suspiciously, then looked at Luffy who was locked in the cage and the water that kept gushing out from the wall, and instantly understood what happened. what's up.With a smirk, he threw the key into the door where the crocodile crawled out, "Hahaha!! If you have the ability, go inside and get the key. Straw hat kid Luffy!!"

"Ah!! Our key!!" Usopp and Nami watched in disbelief as the key slipped through the beautiful arc and disappeared into the door.And Sanji went up and kicked MR-3 who was smiling triumphantly. At this time, the crocodile was still slowly crawling out, and the water on the wall had already spread a thin layer on the crystal floor made of encore. layer.

"Even if you have a key, it's useless..." Encore suddenly exhaled, and shook the half of the crystal key in front of Luffy and the others, saying, "Because the remaining half is still in the keyhole."

"What!!" Even Sauron was not calm this time.Nami looked at the cage weakly and said, "It's over...absolutely over..." Sanji grabbed MR-3's collar and looked at this side, unable to believe that there was really no way to rescue them.

"Calm down, it's not a big deal~~" Anke calmly threw the key in his hand, slowly pulled out Chiyue with his right hand, untied the crystal and said, "You'd better step back, if something happens, you'll be in trouble~ ~" Nami and Usopp immediately retreated, sticking to the last fence, Zoro looked at the shining red knife, squeezed his lips tightly, and dragged Luffy to the back.Smoka, who was squeezed by four people, continued to pop out crosses, but he still held back, after all, Hailoushi made him weak as well.

An Ke suddenly looked in the direction of the stairs, hesitated for a moment, and then lightly stroked Chi Yue's blade with his left hand.Everyone watched her action in surprise, and just about to ask, they were stunned by the next scene.Blood flowed across the scarlet blade, and the coquettish Yaodao suddenly flashed a red light, and then the whole blade burst into blue flames.As soon as An Ke put the knife on the prison door, the cyan flame quickly snaked open, and the prison door disappeared instantly under the flame, leaving no ashes.Everyone watched this incredible scene in amazement, and was awakened by the roar of the crocodile.

Sanji, who knocked MR-3 unconscious, yelled at Luffy who was still in the cage: "Come out quickly!! All the water is coming out!!"

"Oh!!" Luffy rushed out at once, waving his fists and rushed towards the crocodiles: "Wow!! I will never let you go!!!" Sauron rushed up holding the sword.

An Ke looked over the stairs, then at Smokea who was staring at him coldly, shook off the blood on his hands, and sneered on his face under the veil.Then he pulled Sanji's trouser legs and said, "Sanji, tell Luffy later, I'll wait for him outside..."

"Eh??" Sanji was stunned for a moment, only to see Encore's figure flashing a few times on the stairs before disappearing.He was slightly stunned, a little in disbelief.And Smokey bit his cigarette and looked at the direction where Encore disappeared, thinking: "That little girl is definitely not an ordinary person, but there seems to be no information about her in the current world. Is it because of her awe-inspiring talent, or is it because of something... '

Encore in the invisible state passed by Crockdale and MISS-ALLSunday who came back. Neither of them seemed to notice the existence of Encore. The key smiled ironically, and then continued to run outside.

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

Dusk has arrived, and the setting sun has fallen into the horizon, leaving only the brilliant afterglow reflecting the entire sky.

As soon as I came outside, I saw a lot of bubbles coming out of the lake. It seemed that the room below had collapsed.When Encore saw that Sanji had already pulled out Luffy, who was full of water, on the opposite bank, he immediately jumped over.

"Really, devil fruit ability users are so weak..." Sanji twisted his drenched clothes, watching Luffy spitting water helplessly.At this time, Weiwei and Nami also pulled Usopp up who didn't know why he fainted.

"Where's Sauron?" As soon as An Ke finished asking, Sauron emerged from the lake, panting and threw the person in his hand up.Seeing that it was Smoka, Anke frowned slightly. With Sauron's character, it was impossible to save Smoka, unless...

"Hey, Zoro, why did you even save the enemy?" Sanji frowned slightly when he saw that person.

"Stop talking nonsense, you'll die anyway," Zoro climbed up and ignored Smokey, who was coughing all the time, and said, "Let's hurry up, it's been a lot of time..."

"Nami-san, do you still have the perfume you bought at Nahana?" Sanji suddenly asked, "Can I spray some on myself?"

"Is that so?" Nami opened her collar and took out the perfume and sprayed it. Sanji immediately said with a heart: "I will love you till the end of the day, Nami-san~~~~" Zoro answered lightly from behind. The previous sentence: "You will die for me immediately!!"

"Nonoroya!!" Smoka, who was relieved, immediately drew out his weapon and pointed it at Sauron, "Why did you save me!!"

Sauron held his knife and said calmly: "Is there any way, this is the captain's order. He said that you are a devil fruit user, and you will die if you don't care. So you don't need to thank me, it's just his whim. "Smoka looked at Luffy who was still lying on the ground in astonishment.

"You are really kind, Luffy..." Anke smiled slightly, and gently patted Luffy awake, "Wake up, Luffy, it's time to eat~~"

"It's time to eat!!" Lu Fei jumped up and shouted when he heard the word rice, and immediately clenched his fists when he saw Smoke in front of him, "Old smoker!! Do you want to fight you!!"

"This kid...that is the real him..." Smoker looked at Luffy with firm eyes, and said after a while: "Let's go, but only this time I will let you go temporarily, the next time we meet will be yours Time to die..."

"Haha, let's go, the navy is here," Sanji looked at the navy who didn't know when it would come up, and asked Vivi with a smile, "Which way is Albana going?"

"Over there! Just go straight to the east!!" Weiwei laughed, and Sauron picked up Usopp, who was still fainting, and said, "Then let's go first..."

Nami and Weiwei smiled at each other and took the lead to walk ahead.Zoro and Sanji followed closely behind them.

Luffy withdrew his fist, picked up Encore, who was still covered with a veil, and suddenly smiled brightly at Smokey, "Actually, I don't hate you~~hahaha~~" Smokey was stunned, and then roared angrily : "Hurry up!!!"

"Wow!!" Luffy immediately hugged Encore and chased after Sauron and the others.Anke pulled down her veil, looked up at Luffy, smiled slightly, her eyes were gentle.

"Luffy, you are really gentle..."

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

"Come on!! Go straight to Albana!!" Luffy laughed and ran ahead.Usopp, who had already woken up, was also running, "Are we going to keep running to Albana??"

"Shouldn't we buy a horse at this time?" Nami said loudly.Weiwei said worriedly: "But now the town is full of navy!!"

"How about going to the desert to catch a few scorpions?" Encore hugged Luffy's neck and suggested to the people behind.Sanji pointed to the front with a cigarette in his mouth and said, "There's no need to worry about it, just take a look at the front."

"Wow!!! Crabs!!!" Before Anke could turn around, Usopp's screams revealed what was behind him.

"Hey! Friends!!" Chopper sitting on the giant crab shouted loudly, "Hurry up and get on it~~~" and the camel eyelashes also proudly sat on it with its head raised.

"Chopper, where did you find such a good thing?" Sanji stood under the crab and looked up at this huge guy nearly five meters tall.Nami looked into the crab's eyes and said, "But why does it feel like it's also obsessive?"

The crab stretched out its pincers, and as soon as Luffy put the Encore on the pincers, he immediately jumped up and hugged the crab's eyes and said excitedly: "It looks delicious~~~"

"This is a moving crab. It is a friend of Eyelashes. Because this is the hometown of Eyelashes, it has many friends around, but he is a little bit colored..." Chopper explained excitedly, and Eyelashes also nodded proudly next door,
"Luffy, come back and sit here." After looking at the comfortable blanket on the crab's carapace, Encore called the captain who was holding the crab's eyes to come back.

"By the way, does this guy run fast?" Sauron sat on the blanket and asked with a smile.Seeing that Luffy had come back, Chopper immediately pulled the reins and said, "Hold on tight, everyone~ Okay, let's run, let's go!" Chopper gave an order, and the moving crab moved quickly, its huge body moving without any movement. pressure.

"It's so fast, this guy." Sanji also sat down relaxedly, while Usopp was still trembling and clutching the blanket, fearing that he would be thrown off, Nami and Vivi also relaxed and sat down.And Luffy was staring at the crab's huge eyes.

An Ke, who just took off her veil, smiled slightly, suddenly stood up vigilantly, jumped behind Wei Wei, and pulled out Chi Yue.The others also became cautious in an instant.

"What's the matter, Enke??" Luffy looked at her strangely, but Anke didn't speak, watching the unusual Shasha chasing after him holding a knife with both hands to block it. There was a 'clang' sound of metal colliding, and Chi Yue hooked a sharp golden hook, and there was continuous sand behind the golden hook.

"That's...Crockdale!!" Vivi's expression changed instantly, and Luffy and the others were a little stunned by Crockdale's unexpected attack.Zoro immediately shouted to Chopper who was driving the moving crab: "Stop! Chopper!!" The moving crab stopped immediately, but kept sliding forward.

Anke tried his best to stabilize himself, but he couldn't do enough, so he could only be pulled by Crockdale and slid towards him.Gritting his teeth hard, he let go of Chi Yue with his left hand, made a crystal knife and swiped hard at the sand behind the golden hook, creating a deep wound with blood flying everywhere.The golden hook let go of Chiyue and shrank back, then continued to attack Weiwei.

"Encore!! Damn it!" Luffy pushed Vivi violently, grabbed the golden hook and let Crockdale pull him away.Luffy yelled: "You guys go first! I am enough here alone!! We must send Weiwei to the palace safely!"

Everyone gritted their teeth and looked at Luffy.In the end, Zoro clenched his fists and said calmly, "That idiot!! Go! Chopper!!" "Yes! I got it!!" Chopper, who had tears in his eyes, flicked the reins violently. Said: "Let's go!!" The moving crab immediately moved quickly.

"Luffy!!" Seeing Luffy being dragged away, Enke wanted to go there in a hurry, but Zoro quickly dragged him back.Sauron grabbed Anke's hands and said loudly: "Anke, you must not pass!" Anke was taken aback for a moment, then remembered his secret instantly, and gritted his teeth to calm down.

"Hey! Encore, Sauron, are you going to leave Luffy?" Usopp looked behind in surprise, "Take him away, take her away, how can you leave him alone?!"

"Luffy!!" Weiwei looked behind anxiously, and Nami hurriedly hugged her tightly and said, "Don't worry, Weiwei! There is absolutely nothing wrong with what Lu Fei said! They should be the ones who were unlucky. They wanted to trouble Luffy before. In the end, none of them ended well!"

"Vivi, leave Crockdale to Luffy. From the moment the rebel army started to act, this country has entered a countdown." Sauron calmly said to Vivi: "You are the only one in this country." Hope, no matter what happens, you will survive."

"Vivi, this is a war you started," Sanji said, looking behind him, "but don't worry, you're not fighting alone."

"However, there is one thing I need you to remember, Weiwei," An Ke, who had been looking at the direction where Luffy disappeared, suddenly said coldly: "Although Luffy said that he would bet his life with you, But I won't bet my life on such a boring thing. And if Luffy really dies in this country, you don't have to worry about civil wars and rebellions..."

"Enke, what do you mean?" Weiwei suddenly looked at the child whose back was turned to them with a sudden expression change.I can't believe the emotionless words just came out of her mouth.

"To put it simply, if Luffy dies, I will destroy this country with my own hands. Whether it is Crockdale or your favorite people, they will go to hell..." Encore still didn't look back.Everyone else was stunned by Encore's words, Zoro and Sanji frowned slightly, looking at Encore suddenly as if they were a different person.

"However, this is just my advance warning to you, so don't take it to heart for now," Encore suddenly turned around and smiled at them innocently and cutely, "Besides, Luffy will be fine, right? ?”

"Ah, oh..." Everyone stared blankly at Enke, who had made a 180-degree turn, unable to turn his head.

"Ha, ha, ha..." Sanji suddenly laughed dryly and said, "That's right, that fellow Luffy will be fine. Cutie just said that like a joke, ha, ha, ha..."

"Are you kidding me?" Nami stared blankly at Enke, who was still smiling sweetly, and said with a sigh of relief, "Just now, Encore's tone seemed real..."

"Maybe it's because of the panic," Zoro said lightly, "After all, she is still a child, and she has a very good relationship with Luffy..." Weiwei still stared blankly at Encore, not yet recovered Come.

"I'm not kidding, my lord princess..." Enke was still smiling sweetly, with innocent eyes, "but this shouldn't happen, because I will do whatever it takes to keep Luffy alive. '

Suddenly, Anke's face turned pale, his sweet smile froze, and he looked behind in disbelief.Clenched hands tightly, fingernails dug into the flesh without knowing it. "What's the matter, Encore?" Sauron said seriously, after all, Encore's expression was really scary.

"The barrier is broken, and Luffy's breath is a little unstable. It seems that Crockdale is really not a simple thing." Let go of your hand, and shake the blood on it.Anke turned to Sauron and said, "Sauron, I leave this to you. I'll go there."

"Did something happen to Luffy, cutie?" Sanji also became nervous, and the others also forgot what just happened, and looked at Encore nervously.

"It's okay, I'm just worried that Luffy got lost," Anke said lightly, "You guys should be fine?"

"Ah, you go." Sauron held the hilt of the sword and said with a smile, "Just leave it to me."

"Then I'll excuse you first," An Ke nodded slightly towards them, and then jumped back, away from the fast-running crab.

Sauron glanced at Encore and quickly ran back, disappearing within a few seconds.Then he said to Nami and the others: "Just give Luffy to Encore, let's go to Albana first."
