Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 69 Clues to the Sky Island

The Meli had just left Mogu Town when it saw a huge ship with a structure a bit like that ape.It's just that there is a huge tree on this ship, and a huge monkey face is painted on the sail.Luffy, Sanji, Usopp, and Chopper stand on the deck near the sheep's head, while the others stay near the mast.

"Did you see a strange guy as soon as you went out to sea?" Luffy stood near the sheep's head, and then saw Usopp hiding behind Sanji in fear, "Don't worry, Usopp, it doesn't seem to be that guy. "

"Don't talk too early, whether you can feel at ease is still a problem," Sanji said lightly with his hands in his trouser pockets: "And he seems to have seen us."

"Well, and the monkey who claims to be the salvage king is also a resident of this island," Chopper said fearfully, grabbing Usopp's trouser leg, "We just saw him come back..."

"Really? I don't mind seeing that guy again at all," Luffy said without worry.

"Hey, hey, little brother, what are you talking about on that boat?" A 3-meter-tall orangutan in green clothes with long green hair and a fat face on the big boat said loudly: "Really, I thought it was somewhere It's on the same road, which made me nervous for nothing."

Luffy looked at the man's super personality curiously and asked, "It's a guy with a sloppy face, what kind are you?"

"Of course it's human!!!"

"You guys are too presumptuous!!" The crew in black diving suits on the big ship shouted angrily: "You don't even know about the Orangutan Pirates' Undersea Exploration King Orangutan! You better not piss off our big leader!!"

"Listen up! If you dare to break into the tunnel formed by my anger!" the orangutan said fiercely, "What awaits you is a sea of ​​blood!!"

Ignoring his threat at all, Lu Fei said lightly: "Whatever you say, we are going to sail now, get out of the way!".

"It's too presumptuous! The sea area in this area is under my control, it's my territory!!" The orangutan roared, "If you want to pass by here, you have to leave money for the road!"

"What kind of territory!" Usopp, who had been hiding with Chopper at the end unknowingly, whispered, "Why is it so similar to the words of the apes?"

"What?? Orangutan??" The orangutan who heard Usopp's words loudly said, "What do you say about the ape?"

"Ah, he's fine, he's just kicked away by us," Luffy still explained the facts honestly, "but... he's still alive and well~"

"What?? Kicked far away?? How dare you treat my brother like this?? The enemy of the ape is my enemy!!" The orangutan, who obviously didn't hear what Luffy said behind, took out a microphone and started to speak loudly. He shouted: "Destroy the sound wave!! Ah~~~~ah~~~~~~~"

"Boat..." Luffy watched in amazement that the orangutan's big ship was constantly breaking under the attack of the sound, and the planks kept flying out.

"Hey, can someone explain what they are doing?" Sanji, who couldn't understand at all, asked lightly.

"Who knows, but this sound is really powerful~" Luffy looked at the broken board with emotion, "It can even destroy the ship~"

"Hey!! What are you looking at!!" Nami shouted from below: "Hurry up and move forward now!!"

"Oh, that's right~~~" Luffy and Sanji ignored the screaming orangutan, but Usopp and Chopper who were walking behind were surprised to see that the wooden boards near the bow were also starting to move. The attack of sound was broken.Usopp yelled: "Hey!! Our ship is also affected!! The part that was just repaired is also starting to break, what are you kidding. Our ship is already bad!!"

"Hurry up and leave here!! If you stay any longer, you will be torn apart!!" Nami commanded loudly.While the orangutan was still yelling, he quickly left the magic sound.

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

"Damn it! After being called by that orangutan, the boat became even more broken!" Usopp complained loudly while nailing the planks.

Sanji looked at the dilapidated Merry, and then at Usopp's so-called repairs, "But this ship is already very dilapidated, and it may be dangerous to sail further. Why don't we change the ship?"

"What did you say? Sanji!!" Usopp turned his head angrily and shouted at Sanji, "This is the precious ship Kaya gave us!!"

"Yes..." Sanji said helplessly: "Is it given to you by the beauties in your village? I have heard it countless times..."

"However, take a closer look at the dilapidated ship, and it's time to change it!" Sauron, who was helping to repair it, also agreed.

"Why do you even say that! Heartless guy!!" Usopp yelled with fangs instantly, and Chopper, who was helping to pass the board, thought it was very interesting, so he also yelled with fangs like this: "Hey, heartless guy!" !!"

"I know, Usopp." Luffy was also helping to repair the ship's side. Hearing this, he turned around and said, "It's useless to complain now. The Golden Merry is our important partner. We will try our best to ignore it." Whatever it takes to fix it."

"Luffy..." Usopp was already so moved that he was wiping tears.

With a "wow", Luffy hit the nail with too much force.Knocked a big hole in the side of the ship.

"You bastard!!!" Usopp collapsed instantly, "Are you going to fix it or destroy it!!!"

"No, I really want to fix it." Then, with a 'wow' sound, another big hole was opened on the side of the ship, "Ah, it's broken again..."

"Luffy!!!!"

"However, it won't last long with unskilled repairs like yours." Anke pressed the deck of the ship slightly, and found that it was starting to loosen. "We'd better send the Merry to those ship repair places as soon as possible." It's better, otherwise it will be easy to have an accident."

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

The Merry came to the place marked with a cross on the map, that is, the home of the dreamer Montblanc-Kulikai.Looking at it from the front, it was a super luxurious castle with a height of ten meters.

"Wow!! Is that big house that person's home??" Luffy exclaimed, "It's like a palace~~"

"Is that guy named Montblanc Kulikai a rich man??" Usopp also said in admiration.

"Please..." Anke leaned on the railing of the sheep's head, and said shamefully, "You can see it clearly..."

"I don't know if I'm a dreamer or not," Sanji said lightly, "At least I love vanity."

Luffy, who didn't understand what they were talking about, jumped directly onto the bank, ran over to look at the back of the house, and said disappointedly, "What, it's just a piece of wood..."

The boat docked and stopped, and Usopp and Chopper also saw the true face of the 'castle', "What???".

"The real house is only half the height," Sauron looked at the board, "the rest are plywood."

"Did he get expelled because of his dream?" Nami looked at Robin suspiciously.

"I don't know the details, but," Robin said lightly, leaning on the railing, "it seems that the guy said that there is a lot of gold buried in this Gaya Island."

"Gold!!!" Nami, whose eyes turned into Bailey, pulled Chopper to the shore in an instant, pointed at the ground and shouted, "Chopper!! Dig for me!! There is gold here!!!"

"Is there any digging available??" Chopper, who obediently turned into a deer shape, kept pushing the soil with the antlers on his head.The people on board were completely speechless.

"However, if it was so easy to dig, the place would have been overcrowded long ago," Encore stretched out his hands towards Sauron.Sauron understood and carried her off the boat. After all, he still had the common sense that the little vice-captain was too lazy to walk.Robin stayed on board to watch the ship.

"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Luffy has already opened the door without authorization and entered the house.Usopp followed up nervously and said, "Idiot, what if it's a vicious guy??"

"What, there's no one there," Luffy and Usopp, who wandered in and wandered around, came out without gaining anything.Sanji looked around and said, "Does he live alone in this kind of place?"

Chopper was still digging the ground hard, and Zoro was still standing near Nami with Encore in his arms. It is said that the reason why a certain deputy captain refused to go to the ground was because he didn't want the soil Chopper dug up to stain his clothes.

"Ah, a picture book?" Nami found a book on the wooden pier in front of the house: "It looks like a long time ago. It seems to be a book from a long time ago. The title of the book is 'Rolando the Great Liar'."

"Rolando the great liar??" Sanji said with a bit of surprise: "I never thought I could hear this name on the great route."

"Do you know this book? Sanji." Nami glanced at the cover of the book and said, "The one mentioned here was published in Beihai."

"I was born in Beihai, that's right, didn't I tell you?"

"Are you from Beihai too?" Anke looked at Sanji curiously, "I always thought you were from Donghai?"

"Also?? Cutie, are you also from Beihai?"

"It should be. As long as I can remember, I was in Beihai..."

"I really didn't expect it..." Sanji looked at Anke in surprise, and when he found Zoro holding her, he rushed up to his fangs and shouted: "Green algae, what are you doing holding the cutie?? Don’t put her down!! What should I do if I hurt her??”

"Chopper is digging the soil, what does it matter to me if she refuses to come down??" Sauron yelled back, refusing to show weakness: "Lustful cook!!"

"You guys are so noisy!!" Encore rewarded Zoro and Sanji for free, "Don't yell in my ear! Do you want to go swimming?? Nami, tell me what the book is about .”

"Well, I see." Nami opened the book and was about to read when she was disturbed by the sound of Chopper digging, "Chopper!! You are so noisy!! Stay quiet for me!!"

Nami's roar knocked the hard-working Chopper back into civet cat form.And Encore, who let Sauron let go of himself, looked around without anyone else.Hearing that Nami was going to tell a story, Luffy yawned boredly, Anke pulled his trouser legs, pointed to the coast not far away, and Luffy ran over there happily.

"A long, long time ago, about 400 years ago. In a certain country in the North Sea, there was a man named Rolando Montblanc. Rolando was an explorer, and every time he told his adventure stories in a thrilling and exaggerated way. The villagers were taken aback for a while, and they don't know whether what Rolando said is true or not." After reading this, Nami stopped, and everyone silently glanced at Usopp who was listening to the story seriously.

"Once Rolando came back from another voyage, he reported something to the king. He said that he saw a mountain of gold on an island in the great voyage. The valiant king immediately led 2 Thousands of soldiers came to the great route, and finally arrived at the golden island after untold hardships. Only the king, Rolando and 100 soldiers were left. But what the king and the others saw was a forest with nothing. He was sentenced to death for the crime of deceiving the king. His last words before his death said: I know, those piles of gold have sunk into the sea. No one will believe Rolando's words anymore. Rolando is still making up The story deceives the world. The North Sea fairy tale, Rolando the great liar."

"Alas... Poor big liar, the result is a dead end," Nami closed the fairy tale book, sighed deeply, watched Usopp word by word, and said: "Have not become the 'brave sea monster'." The warrior' died..."

"..." Usopp, who was listening to the story carefully, suddenly woke up and pointed at Nami and said loudly: "Don't look at me and say it!! Don't add the last testimonial yourself!!"

"Gulu Gulu..." The sound of drowning suddenly came from the shore.An Ke looked over nervously, and anxiously pushed Sauron over: "Sauron, get Luffy up quickly!! And be careful of that man in the sea!"

"The man in the sea??" Sauron, who ran towards the sea, repeated these words strangely.Just when he first came to the coast, an uncle who was nearly 3 meters tall with his waist down and a chestnut-shaped hat suddenly popped out of the sea.Sauron flexibly spared him and jumped into the sea. After all, the landlubber in the sea was more important now, and he didn't want to be knocked into the sea by another landlubber on the shore.

The uncle, who was wearing black leggings and tied a yellow rope around his waist, looked at the people on the shore vigilantly: "How bold! How dare you break into other people's homes openly! The sea area in this area is all my territory! !"

"Territory??" Usopp repeated this familiar word suspiciously, and at this time Sanji had already rushed up.

"Is your goal gold?? Go to hell!!" At some point, the uncle who was biting a cigarette also rushed towards Sanji, and the two fought fiercely.Suddenly, the uncle took out a gun from nowhere and shot at Sanji, who was close at hand, but was still nimbly dodged by Sanji.

"Sanji!!" Nami, Usopp, and Chopper yelled worriedly, and Sanji, who kept dodging bullets, said loudly, "I'm fine!!"

"Looks like I need a favor~~" An Ke just raised his hand to get out a few crystals, when he saw Sauron fish Luffy up to the shore, and instantly threw a certain cook behind him, carrying The hem of the skirt ran over to Luffy, "Luffy!!!!"

"..." The three of Nami looked at Encore's figure, then at the chef who kept flashing bullets, and could only pray that he would be blessed.Suddenly the uncle's hand holding the gun trembled a few times, and he fell to the ground in pain, twitching non-stop.

Nami, Usopp, and Chopper looked at each other, then at Encore, and then at the relieved Sanji, not knowing what happened.

"Luffy, why did you fall into the sea?" Anke looked worriedly at Luffy who was panting hard, "Didn't I just hint that you should be careful of people in the sea?"

Sauron twisted his wet clothes, and said with a smile: "How could he understand your hints with his simple mind? I really don't know if he is too stupid or you are too... ah!!!!"

With a sound of "boom", the world is quiet~~ Anke smiled sweetly and took back the crystal that appeared at some time.

"Ahem... I don't know any hints. I thought there was something interesting in the sea, so I ran over to have a look." Luffy took a few breaths, and said as if he couldn't figure it out: "But when I got to the beach, I saw something interesting in the sea. A lot of bubbles came out, I looked curiously, and saw a chestnut suddenly popped out of the sea, and then the chestnut turned into an uncle, and then I was pulled into the sea..." At this time, Luffy saw the chestnut lying on the ground Uncle, "Huh? Uncle??"

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

Uncle Montblanc Coulikai's simple room has only simple furniture.At Chopper's request, the windows and doors were opened for ventilation.

"What's the matter, uncle?" Luffy asked curiously.

"He has a disease that divers tend to get." Chopper was seriously covering the unconscious uncle with an ice towel. "It stands to reason that the diver's disease should not become a chronic disease. When coming from the bottom of the sea to the surface, Because of insufficient decompression, the nitrogen dissolved in the blood cannot remain dissolved. In that case, bubbles will be generated, and the bubbles will expand in and outside the blood vessels, causing damage to blood flow or muscle joints.”

Luffy, who couldn't understand at all, gave up and continued to listen carefully to Chopper's analysis. He leaned on the window and looked at the scenery outside and concluded, "In short, it's a strange phenomenon..."

"This uncle must have dived into the bottom of the sea before the bubbles disappeared from his body. He has been trying to force himself every day to get sick. Diver's disease, depending on the situation, may also be fatal..." Chopper Seriously explained.

Anke looked outside the door, and then looked at the photo hanging on the wall, and found that it was actually a group photo of this uncle with that orangutan and that orangutan, "What is their relationship?" '

There was a loud running sound outside the house, and then two huge heads crowded at the door and shouted loudly: "Father, are you okay?"

"Wow!!!!" Usopp and Chopper, who saw clearly that they were apes and orangutans, immediately ran around the room in fright, "They came to kill us!!!"

Seeing Luffy and the others in the house, the orangutan said loudly: "What are you doing here?" The orangutan also shouted: "What good did you do to Dad??"

The only Lu Fei who can communicate with them normally said lightly: "Can't you watch it? We are taking care of this sick uncle, go away."

Upon hearing this, Usopp immediately stopped running around and said loudly to Luffy: "Idiot! Do you think they understand what you say?? They are wild animals!!! Wild animals!!!"

"..." The ape and the orangutan stayed for a while, and the next second they were moved to tears, "What a...so kind person..."

The corner of Sauron's mouth twitched slightly, looking at the obedient figures of the orangutan and the ape going out, and then at Luffy, "Is this how birds of a feather flock together..."

Except for Luffy and the unconscious uncle, the others nodded firmly.

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

Outside the house, Luffy was chatting and laughing loudly with the orangutan and the orangutan, and the uncle who had woken up in the house was sitting silently on the bed and smoking a cigarette, Sanji and Anke were sitting at the rough table in the uncle's house, Zoro was holding hands and leaning against each other. By the wall, Nami and Usopp stood not far from the bed, and Chopper just went out to call Luffy to come in.

"Hey, uncle! I have something to ask you!" Lu Fei ran in and said happily.

Uncle Kuli Kai took a puff of cigarette before saying, "I'm sorry to cause you trouble, I thought you were also treasure hunters who wanted to find gold nuggets..."

"Gold nuggets?? Uncle's house really has gold nuggets??" Nami, who keenly heard the nuggets, immediately turned into a shining Bailey.

"Tell me," Uncle Kulikai said slowly, holding a cigarette, "What do you want to ask me?"

"Uncle!!" Lu Fei asked excitedly: "We really want to go to Sky Island, can you tell me how to get there??"

"Empty Island?" Uncle Kulikai just glanced at Luffy lightly, and then laughed out loud: "Hahaha!! Do you really believe in Empty Island???"

Hearing the sarcasm in the uncle's laughter, Nami clenched her fists and planned to rush up, but was held back by Chopper and Usopp.Chopper said loudly: "Nami!! Calm down!! He's a patient!!"

"Is there really no sky island? Uncle??" Luffy asked nervously.

"Who knows, but I know a person who believes in the existence of Sky Island," the uncle stopped laughing, lowered his head and bit his cigarette, and said, "It's just that that person became a world-famous liar in legend. The future generations have also been harmed by him." Can't hold my head up."

Everyone silently glanced at Usopp, and Usopp also silently broke into a drop of cold sweat: "It's not me..."

"Anyone from the North Sea should have heard of the old fairy tale, 'Rolando the Great Liar'"

Everyone looked at Usopp slowly again, and Usopp silently yelled with cold sweat on his face: "It's not me! Our surnames are different!"

"Speaking of which, I remember that Rolando's surname is Montblanc, which is the same as Uncle's." Sanji suddenly said, "Could it be that you are the descendant of that Rolando, and this is the stage of the story?"

The uncle just snorted coldly, "He is my great-great-great-great-great-great-great-grandfather. I don't know how many generations. It's unlucky to say that our blood is so weak that it sucks as much blood as a mosquito. At that time, the Montblanc family was ruled by the motherland. Expulsion, and live a life of incognito since then, because the world has never stopped yelling at us. But no one in my family hates that guy because of this, because... Rolando is no one else honest man..."

Everyone in the room froze for a moment, and Nami said in surprise, "But, in the picture book..."

"It is written in the picture book that Rolando said a word before he died: I know, those piles of gold have sunk into the sea. But, in fact... he shed a lot of tears and died with hatred. In the end. Because he believed until his death that the Gaya island he took the king to was the golden island he had reached before, and he had no way to convince himself that it was just a fantasy. Although he maintained that the gold sank to the bottom of the sea due to changes in the earth’s crust , but anyone who listens will think that it is a meaningless struggle to get rid of the crime. In the end, amidst the ridicule of the crowd, Rolando was beheaded to show the public. Stigma..."

"So uncle, are you determined to find the golden land in the sea in order to clear the Montblanc family's stigma?" Usopp said excitedly.

"Are you kidding??" The uncle slammed the bed and said angrily, "No matter how honest and upright that ancestor was! It has nothing to do with me! Just because I have a little blood relationship with him, I was scolded by strangers." The bloody head of the dog! Do you know that feeling?

"Although in the past 400 years, many people went to sea to get rid of their stigma, but in the end they all disappeared. I have always been ashamed of such a family, so I ran away from home alone and became a pirate. Unknowingly I I also became the captain of a pirate group, but by chance 10 years ago, I came to Gaya, which is exactly the same island as Rolando described. I suddenly realized that this is my destiny... I can't understand My partners in action also left me alone, and all went away. It was my luck to find it, and it was my fate not to find it. I did not seek gold to prove Rolando's innocence. It was me and the disturber The duel between men in my life, I only hope that the truth will come to light in my lifetime..."

"So, what about the orangutans? Why did they appear here??" Luffy asked suspiciously.Usopp, who was already moved to tears, choked up and said, "There must be some moving story behind it!!"

"They are fans of comic books. They came to me suddenly 5 or 6 years ago and said they wanted to be my little brother..."

"That's it??" Usopp, who suddenly fell from the touching story to the reality, still had tears of emotion, but he couldn't shed any more.

"They also believe that Rolando's gold really exists. The sea here is very deep and cold. I have been diving in such a cold sea alone day after day. Until the two of them insisted on breaking into my life, they did nothing My little brother, who fights in front of me all day, two stupid idiots, but frankly they saved me, do you understand..."

"I understand..." Usopp began to wipe his tears again and was so moved, "A like-minded friend is the greatest spiritual pillar..."

"But what I want to know is not the story of the apes." Luffy directly broke the moving atmosphere, and said loudly to Uncle Kurikai: "What I want to ask is that I want to go to Sky Island!! Uncle!!!"

"Hehehe, he's just a quick-tempered guy. Didn't I just say that the one who can endorse Sky Island is the big liar Rolando. Once you get involved with that guy, you will become a laughing stock just like me..." The uncle said at the same time As he spoke, he took out an old book from the bookcase, flipped through a few pages and threw it to Nami, "This is Montblanc Rolando's logbook, read that page."

"In the year 1120 of the sea calendar, the weather was fine on June 6. I sailed towards the bustling town of Vila. According to the records of the record pointer, the ship set off from the port and headed straight eastward. Today I bought a piece from a passing vending boat during the day. The weird thing is a one-person boat called Weiba, which looks like a ski. It can ride the wind and waves on a calm day. It is really a wonderful boat. But its power source seems to be only available in Sky Island. Listen It is said that there are many strange things like this in the sky. Since I mentioned Sky Island, I have to mention the lively empty fish that my explorer friends showed me. It is really a wonderful fish, which surprised me. Although it is an unknown sea area for our ship, as a sailor, I really hope that one day I can go to Kukai to open my eyes. Montblanc Rolando."

"He mentioned Kukai!! That's great!!!" Luffy, Usopp and Chopper surrounded Nami with surprise and shouted and jumped up, "Hahahaha!!!"

And Sanji is also very interested in the "empty fish" that Nami just said, and the uncle went out at some point.

An Ke just smiled and looked at their happy child-like smiles, put his hands on his chin, and then began to lose his mind for no reason.

'The next adventure is Sky Island?I'm looking forward to...'

　In the future, it will be updated every two days, hahahaha...
