Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 63 The Legend of the Colorful Mist ([-])

Chased by the navy again, the teenagers on board rowed desperately again, and the Merry moved forward rapidly.The warships behind were chasing after them, and the shells kept falling near the ship. It seemed that the navy wanted to scare them into stopping the ship first.

"Damn!! How many times do we have to be chased by the navy!!!" Usopp complained loudly while rowing vigorously.Nami, who was in charge of watching the direction, shouted nervously: "If you want to survive, don't talk nonsense!! Give me the strength to paddle!!"

"Luffy!! Go rowing for me too!!" Seeing Luffy lying on the ground lazily for some time, Sanji yelled.

Luffy still collapsed on the ground weakly, and said weakly: "I'm hungry... I haven't eaten anything since morning..."

"I'm still hungry at this time..." Sanji, who was completely speechless, had given up trying to persuade Luffy.Suddenly, the warship chasing after the Meili was hit by something, the hull collapsed instantly, and the formation of the warship was broken.

Seeing this unbelievable scene, Sauron and the others slowly turned their heads to stare at Anke who was leisurely sitting on the crystal holding two knives. After all, she was the only one on the ship who had the ability to deal with that warship without anyone noticing.

"I didn't do anything..." Anke blinked innocently, sincerely expressing that he really didn't do anything from the beginning to the end.

"Hahaha!! You deserve it, stinky navy!!" Usopp suddenly stepped on the side of the ship and said triumphantly, "I've predicted this would happen a long time ago~~~"

"Really?? You are amazing!!" The innocent Chopper looked at him with eyes full of admiration, while Sauron on one side had become numb to Usopp's big words, and rowed the boat silently.

"It's better to escape from the gap in the navy now, Mr. Long Nose..." Robin chuckled.

"Long nose..." Usopp touched his ridiculously long nose, unable to refute Robin's words.

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

After getting rid of the pursuit of the navy, the Merry entered the sea with a lot of rocks, looking for a place to dock.

"Why is the navy chasing so closely recently?" Usopp held up his binoculars and looked nervously at the distant sea, "We can't even eat..."

"No way," said Sauron, who was maintaining his knife, with a smile, "Who told us that there are two bounty heads on board..." (PS: At that time, Luffy and the others hadn't seen the new bounty order, so Sauron Thought that only Luffy and Robin on board were rewarded.)
Anke, who was sitting on the ship's side, tilted his head and smiled, "If the navy knew I was here, the pursuit might be several times stronger than it is now..."

"Hey, there is a port ahead," Chopper said loudly in front, "I see a very tall lighthouse!!"

"Really??" Luffy jumped up while lying on the sheep's head without energy, and looked ahead with glowing eyes, "If there is a port, then there is something to eat!!"

The Merry stopped near the port, and everyone disembarked except Sauron who was guarding the ship for sleeping.Chopper looked at the tall white tower and said blankly: "So it's not a lighthouse, it's such a tall tower..."

"It doesn't matter, hurry up and eat, eat!!" Luffy, who was already fainting from hunger, said loudly.

The few people who were about to enter the town were stopped by a soldier who came down from above: "Hey! You guys wait a minute!! On our Luluga Island, if you want to anchor in the port or even the outer coast, you must You have to pay the entry tax!"

"Entry tax??" Chopper repeated incomprehensibly.Usopp shrugged helplessly and said, "In short, let us pay for it~"

"Wait a minute!" Nami said angrily when she heard the word 'pay': "Why do you have to pay when you stop the boat??"

"Because this is an obligation!!" The soldier pointed his gun at them, "Are you going to pay or not??"

Sanji took a few steps forward to stand in front of everyone, put his hands in his trouser pockets and said coldly: "Hey, don't be rude to the lady!!"

Anke just looked up at Luffy, who was rarely quiet, counting silently in his mind how many seconds he would hold back.Sure enough, in the next second, Luffy ran towards the town with his hands open and shouting: "Eat!!!! Eat, eat, eat..."

Sanji and the soldiers standing in front were shot innocently, and were trampled to the ground by Luffy who ran over.Robin looked at Sanji lying on the ground, and asked with a little worry, "Are you okay?"

"Yes!! No problem at all!!" Sanji, who had a shoe print on his hair, quickly got up and replied energetically, while the soldier who was also stepped on by Luffy was still lying on the ground unable to move.

"Okay, let's go. I also want to see if I can buy paper for making nautical charts~" Nami took the lead and walked ahead.Sanji instantly followed with pink bubbles all over his body: "Nami-san~~I'll accompany you~~"

"Ah, I'm going too!!" Chopper also ran up carrying the little blue bag.

The rest of Encore had no choice but to follow.Just a few steps away, I was stopped by a voice from the nearby mountain: "Hey, wait a minute!"

Anke and the others looked over, only to find an old man in a white robe, windshield, goatee, and a large box with a radar on his back standing on it.

"A new comedian?" Robin slowly took a few steps forward, keeping Encore, who habitually covered his face, behind him.After all, she still knew very well that if someone found Encore, the consequences would be very serious.

Unaware of any problems with Encore and Robin's positions, Usopp looked at the old man above with the same doubts: "No, I think he is more of a profiteer..."

"Neither of them!!" The old man took off his windshield, revealing a wrinkled face, "I want to ask if you have ever seen a colorful fog?"

"Can you make it clearer?" Robin laughed, who was interested in the colorful dance that the old man said: "I have a book here that you might be interested in."

Seeing that the old man didn't seem to be an enemy, Anke slowly took the lead and walked into the town: "In this case, let's go to Luffy's side first and then talk in detail, after all, it's not convenient to talk here..."

Robin, Usopp, and the old man above glanced at the soldiers still lying on the ground, and felt the same...

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

When I found Luffy, he was eating and drinking in a restaurant.Robin and Usopp are no longer surprised why Anke knows where Luffy is, and the pile of plates in front of Luffy who is eating happily, they calmly pulled a chair, Sit at Luffy's table and start ordering.

Seeing the old people he didn't know sitting together, Lu Fei said something vaguely while pulling the noodles into his mouth: "￥%#%￥#%@#@￥#%?" (An But, who is that uncle?)

"The strange person you met on the road, don't worry about him, you can eat first," Anke chuckled, and at this time the boss had already brought three bowls of noodles and placed them in front of Anke, Robin and Usopp. Yes, it was not given to the elderly.Luffy has quickly wiped out the noodles on the plate, shouting: "Boss!! Another one!!"

"Hey!! How many servings have you eaten??" Usopp, who obviously wanted to pay for the meal, roared, but just as he was speaking, Luffy had already stretched out his hand to take the meal in front of him Came over and ate up.

"Add this one, no more, no less, 20 special meals." The boss brought out a large bowl of noodles and put it in front of Luffy and said, "Of course, not counting your share..." Usopp was stunned instantly.

"I'll have a special meal too!" The old man said loudly.

The boss had a slightly cold attitude and asked, "Do you have any money with you?"

The old man then pointed to Usopp and said, "Yes, they treat guests."

"When did I say I wanted to invite you!!" Usopp, who was stunned, immediately roared with sharp teeth.An Ke carefully picked up a small ball of noodles with a fork and said, "Usopp, before Luffy finishes eating, you should order your own first..."

"I told you about the colorful mist, of course you are going to treat me." The old man took a sip of water.He said to himself: "I am Han Suo, a genius scientist among the geniuses who study colorful fog..."

"You still call yourself a genius, usually people who say they are geniuses are mediocre..." Usopp muttered disdainfully.

Hearing this sentence, Encore paused while eating noodles, looked up at Usopp, and found that what he said was absolutely right, because Usopp himself verified that sentence.

"Ah!" Usopp, who sneezed for no reason, touched his nose strangely.

"Mr. Han Suo..." Robin asked politely.But Han Suo retorted loudly: "Call me Doctor!" Usopp's expression became even more dismissive.

"Doctor, do you know this book? I got it in Alabasta," Robin, who changed his name at the request of the old man, handed him a book with a red cover. It was the book that Luffy had turned over a few pages The Rainbow Mist.

"This is?!" Dr. Han Suo immediately took the book over and read it carefully.

"That's right, I thought I'd heard of the colorful fog somewhere, it turned out to be the title of the book Robin was reading," Usopp suddenly realized.At this time, Luffy had already wiped out his huge special meal, and was yelling for the boss to have another bowl.

"According to this book, the colorful mist is the kingdom of the gods, and it is also the entrance to the El Dorado," Robin briefly said about the general content of the book.

"It's all a legend," Dr. Han Suo closed the book, "Heard this legend and embarked on a journey to find the colorful mist, but no one came back, even my friends..."

"Guest, you'd better not take this person seriously," the boss brought a plate of noodles in front of Luffy, and said solemnly, "He is the dog raised by Mayor Witton! Receive the research fee from the mayor, A fake scientist who dawdles all day long!"

"The place where the colorful fog is located, space and time are intertwined. Those who are lost will eventually forget their original intentions, get lost in the golden kingdom, and live forever in solitude," An Ke slowly put down the fork and spoke softly, looking The surprised Dr. Han Suo smiled sweetly, and then said: "Dr. Han Suo, do you know? The space in the colorful mist is another dimension, a different space that you can't escape after entering~"

"You..." Han Suo stood up abruptly, looking at Encore excitedly.Anke shrugged, stuck out his tongue and smiled mischievously: "I just said it casually~~"

Suddenly there was a sound of gongs and drums outside. "It's the expropriation team!! The expropriation team is coming!!" The guests froze when they heard these voices, and quickly stuffed food into their mouths, some directly ate with their hands, and those who drank directly Fill your mouth.The only sound left in the restaurant was the sound of desperately eating.

"What's the matter?? What happened?? Never mind, let's eat it first!!" Usopp looked at the flustered guests around him, and began to imitate them and stuff food into his mouth desperately.

The restaurants were opened, and all the movements of the guests stopped.An uncle with red hair, glasses and a blue uniform said with a smile, "Dear citizens, are you enjoying your meal?"

The uncle walked in and saw a customer standing there holding a glass of wine and laughed, "Your wine seems to be quite delicious. Don't you know that you have to pay a drinking tax?" Two soldiers stepped forward immediately, Hold up the guest, continue his resistance and just search out his wallet.

"Who is that guy?" Usopp asked in a low voice.

The boss leaned into his ear and said in a low voice, "That's Mayor Witton's son Philip, this annoying guy often comes to force us to collect all kinds of taxes.

"Oh! Isn't this Dr. Han Suo??" Seeing Han Suo who was sitting there, Philips immediately stepped forward and asked, "My dad is looking for you, and I want to ask how your research on the Colorful Mist is going? "

"It's still not like that? I don't know when and where it will be foggy..."

"Oh, your research is spent on taxpayers' money~ That rainbow tower was also built for your research. If your research doesn't make progress, everyone will have a hard time~ Take care of yourself... ..." Philips walked out after saying something, and after walking a few steps, he turned around and looked at Luffy who was eating noodles and said, "You ate a huge plate of macaroni noodles, right~~"

"Ah, because I'm hungry~~"

"Don't you know that you have to pay a big plate tax when you eat a big plate of food?"

"Ah," Fork pointed at the laid-back Usopp opposite, "This guy treats you~~"

"..." Usopp, who hadn't recovered yet, was immediately erected by two soldiers and took out his wallet.

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

"Really! What is a big market tax! It's the Golden Light Party at all!!" Usopp shook his empty wallet and kept thinking.

"I'm sorry..." Dr. Han Suo, who was walking in front, suddenly said.

"Why did the uncle apologize?" Luffy, who still didn't know what happened after listening for so long, was full of doubts.

"Hey!! Didn't you just listen? This uncle and the Golden Light Party are from the same group!!" Usopp continued to say angrily.

Encore smiled and said, "You thought, Luffy was on food and other things. Which one would Luffy choose?" Usopp was stunned again.

Suddenly bells rang all over the town, and several people hurried past Luffy and the others, talking
"A red galleon is coming near the port."

"Red sailboat?? Could it be???" Dr. Han Suo followed anxiously.

"It seems very interesting~~I'll take a look too~~" Luffy picked up Encore and followed with great interest. Usopp and Robin, who were left behind, had to go there together

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

A huge red sailboat was quietly parked on the sea not far from the port, with a red devil wood carving on the bow, and three long sawtooths embedded on both sides of the wood carving.The nearby long embankment was full of citizens, but Luffy and the others still squeezed to the front with the excellent style of pirates.

"Wow~~ What a big ship~~" Luffy shouted in surprise, "But it's also so old..."

"Star Tariye..." Han Suo said blankly, and then ran out of the dock not far away.

"Dili da la... What is the star?" Usopp struggled when he heard such an awkward name, but he still couldn't say the name correctly.

Dr. Han Suo, who walked into the crowd, came out with a tool similar to a boat, and the large box that had been carried behind his back was also placed on top of the tool.After the boat entered the sea, the airbag popped out immediately, and it slowly sailed to the red sailboat on the sea.

"It's awesome!! So handsome!!!" Luffy looked at the boat with staring eyes, "It's so handsome, I'm going to order it~~~~"

An Ke helplessly looked at Luffy as if he wanted to pounce on him, and stretched out his hand to pull his face, hoping to bring him back to his senses, but Luffy still looked at Dr. Han Suo's boat with a smirk and bright eyes, No matter what Encore did to his face.An Ke had no choice but to say: "Luffy, let's drive the Merley to the sailboat..."

"Oh!!!!" As soon as the words fell, Luffy immediately rushed to the Merry with the Encore in his arms.Robin and Usopp were left behind again.

"Ah, I knew..." Usopp lowered his head helplessly.

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

"Uncle!!! Rubber Rubber-Bazooka!!!" As soon as the Merry approached the ridiculously large sailboat, Luffy couldn't wait to stretch out his hand and fly up.

Dr. Han Suo, who happened to be near the side of the ship, looked at Luffy's unbelievably long hands with surprise on his face: "Your...hand?? Is it a devil fruit??"

"Me? I'm a rubber man who ate rubber fruit," Lu Fei stretched the corner of his mouth, and said excitedly, "Uncle!! Give me your boat~~It's so handsome~~~"

"The H1 asterisk can't be given to you..." Dr. Han Suo turned around and entered the sailboat, Robin and Usopp also boarded the sailboat, and Luffy continued to pester him hoping to get the boat .And Anke still stayed near the sheep's head, and Sauron, who had been on board the whole time, also leaned against the railing of the bow to sleep.

"Really..." Anke looked helplessly at the sleeping Sauron, "I didn't even notice the ship was so far away, my vigilance is really bad!"But alertness is top-notch when fighting, I really don't know how to say hello, Suo, Long, Jun. '

"Ah!" Sauron, who was sleeping, sneezed violently, rubbed his nose and continued to fall asleep.

'The space is a bit distorted, what's going on? Anke pressed his left eye and looked around vigilantly, and found that colorful mist appeared in the open sea, which was even more beautiful against the blue sky and white clouds.Enke still lightly pressed his left eye, with a habitual smile on his face: "The information in the eye of reincarnation is indeed correct. The colorful fog can distort space and time. I want to go in and take a look."Maybe I can get inspiration from it to strengthen the ability of reincarnation eyes...'

Just after thinking about it, the opportunity fell from the sky. "Borrow the boat!!" After Dr. Han Suo jumped off, he ignored Anke who was standing there and Sauron who was sleeping there, and pulled down the sails directly to drive the Merry to the colorful mist.

"Hey!!" Luffy jumped off the sailboat and said, "Don't steal our boat!!"

"Yes! If you want to go, use that galleon!" Usopp shouted angrily after coming down.Robin, who came down together, just looked at them with a smile.

"The rudder of the Star Tarieri is broken, destroyed by Weedon. Because I was on the Star Tarieri 50 years ago..."

The Merry slowly approached the colorful mist, and Luffy sat excitedly on the sheep's head and looked ahead.Usopp said tremblingly: "Are you really going in? Didn't you say that none of the people who went in came out?"

"I want to go in..." Dr. Han Suo's face was firm, "I've been doing research just for today..."

"Are you scared?" Robin smiled and looked at Usopp who was covered in cold sweat.Usopp retorted stiffly: "How is it possible?? I am Usopp, the captain of the great route!!!"

And Anke gently raised his hand to hold his left eye, and was a little surprised to find that the closer he was to the colorful mist, the more unstable the illusion covering his left eye became, as if there was a force from the outside world trying to forcibly undo the illusion, "Why? What's going on?Although the illusion will be dispelled due to too drastic environmental changes, it is calm now.Could it be the reaction caused by too violent space turbulence? '

"Yo hoo~~~ rushed into the fog~~" Luffy who was sitting on the special seat laughed, full of the joy of adventure.

The moment you enter the fog, the white smoke makes it difficult to see what is in front of you.But it didn't take long to enter a blue tunnel. The constantly rotating tunnel made it difficult to tell whether it was real or not. The shining stars leaped past, mysterious and beautiful.

Luffy and the others kept marveling at this unbelievable scene, but Anke secretly moved behind them, and the color of the covered left eye kept changing: as soon as it was covered with illusion, it was forcibly released by the colorful fog, and it was replaced by bloody eyes. the red.

"The rapid change of space makes it impossible for me to use illusion. If this continues, it will be troublesome. I don't know if it will be like this in the fog." Seeing that they were still staring at the front, Encore made an illusion with his outstretched right hand. A flower, but it shattered and dissipated within a few seconds, "Sure enough, the mysterious power of the colorful mist is very special, maybe it is really useful for improving the ability of the eyes of reincarnation... Fortunately, they are concerned about the changes around them and have not noticed it yet." My abnormality.However, there is still a sleeping person on board, I hope he is not awake...

"Aha~~ Where is this??" Zoro, who was asleep, just woke up at this time, rubbed his eyes, and just saw Encore who was looking over cautiously, and the pair of different pupils that were inadvertently revealed.

"Those eyes?!" Sauron, who was completely sleepy for a moment, carefully held down his sword hilt and was ready to pull it out at any time, "You are...".

But Anke stepped in front of him the moment he fully woke up, holding his sword hilt with one hand, and pinching his neck habitually with the other hand.Anke narrowed his left eye slightly, smiled softly and said in a soft voice: "You seem to have seen something you shouldn't have seen, Sauron-kun. It's better to take a nap now, as if you were still sleeping and never woke up Same, when you open your eyes later, you will be inside the colorful mist..."

Listening to the soft words, looking at the pair of magical eyes, Sauron slowly closed his eyes uncontrollably, and fell asleep in a relaxed way. The memory in his mind stayed in a dark red eye, and then there was darkness .

Seeing how Sauron fell asleep, Anke breathed a sigh of relief, and got up helplessly and leaned against the strings of the boat.Still looking curiously at Luffy in front of them, they didn't notice this little episode, Anke tightly covered his left eye, Violet's right eye was full of helplessness and looked at the sleeping Sauron, "I'm sorry, Sauron... I I don't want to rewrite your memory... but the time is not up yet...'
