Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 859

After an unknown period of time, the boss of the cat viper stopped, and Anke also undid the illusion, and now their position was right at the upturned tail of the Whale Tree.Nami still protected her black butterfly well, but stayed away from those dangerous guys who could disperse her illusion just by using her momentum.

·
Momonosuke was in a bad mood, his face turned blue the moment the illusion was lifted, and he quickly closed his eyes and pretended to be dead.

·
There are a lot of mottled moss on the branches, and it looks like there is no gap at all.The cat viper boss reached out on the whale tree and pushed open a round secret door hidden in it, revealing a downward staircase.Green moss grows on the long staircase with a length and width of one meter, and there are mottled tree roots on the old and ancient walls, distorting the beauty of an abstract painting.

·
The air in the secret passage is very fresh, without the dust and musty smell that has been closed for a long time.Usopp looked at the endless stairs in surprise, and said in shock, "The entrance is here, forgive me, it's on the whale's tail, I really can't find it~~"

·
"And there's a hidden door, you can't find it, let's go," the boss of Mao Viper said with a slight smugness, and then took the lead to walk forward.The guys who were sitting on his tail also came down, but Chopper still sat on the head of the chubby cat viper boss with his chubby bun in his arms. After all, for two small animals, this staircase is really too big Huge.

·
"Very good, I want to walk down by myself~~", Enke still remembered Frankie's words that 'walking often is good for the body to grow taller', and carefully jumped down the next step.

·
"Enke, be careful~" Lu Fei carefully reached out to support her, so that she would not fall directly from the top.

·
"It's okay, I'll take my time~" Anke smiled and waved his hand, then pointed down, "Why don't you go down first, Luffy~ Isn't the ninja waiting down there? I can just take my time~~"

·
"Are you sure it's okay?"

·
"Mmmmm~"

·
"Luffy, I'm going down first~~~", Usopp passed by with a smile, and jumped down the super high stairs nimbly.

·
"Ah! You're so cunning!!" Luffy was immediately aroused, and after carefully explaining to his vice-captain and the swordsman who walked down slowly behind him, he quickly rushed down.

·
Nami, who was standing on the stairs, was going down cautiously. When she saw a few people jumping straight down and at an extremely fast speed, she immediately shouted angrily, "I'm talking about you! Wait for me!"

·
"I'm going down first~~", Robin said with a smile, jumping down with ease.

·
Nami, who was wearing high heels, looked at the more than one-meter-high steps in embarrassment, so she had no choice but to bite the bullet and go down.

·
Without Luffy's support, Anke stayed on the original steps, staring at the steps covered with green moss, thinking about a serious question, "Should I take the left leg first or the right leg? This is really a serious question." The problem……"

·
Duke Inuarashi, who was leaning on crutches, was originally at the back, but now he has basically caught up with her. He looked at the tangled expression of the little doll with different pupils a little funnyly, and then kindly reminded, "Why don't you go directly Jumping down with both legs? After all, this step is still quite high for you."

·
When a certain cat heard a sensitive word, its body froze and looked at Duke Inuarashi, who was five or six meters tall, and his face darkened decisively after seeing him walking down easily even with a cane.

·
Luo, who was holding a knife in his left hand, was a little strange when he saw her start to look murderous. Then he thought about what Duke Inuarashi said just now, and then he understood. He shook his head funny and continued to walk down slowly.

·
The different pupil of a certain cat just watched the guy's long legs pass by him, and his face became darker after seeing his expression without any trouble.

·
Luo, who was walking easily, suddenly tripped on his feet and almost rolled down.After staggering to stabilize himself, he stared in astonishment at the white cats beside his legs that were clinging to his trouser legs.

·
"Meow!", the angry white cats yelled a few times, their paws still tightly grasping his trouser legs, obviously they did not intend to let him go down.

·
Encore jumped down from the top with both legs together, wrinkled his face and said angrily, "Huh, it's good to be tall! Lord Trafalgar with a height of 191cm~~"

·
"??" Luo raised several question marks, not knowing where he offended the Persian cat.Well, he was smart, but he never thought that what offended the cat was his height.

·
So, Luo, who was stunned, just watched the cat carefully jumping down, while those illusion cats were still clung to him.

·
Sauron, who was nearby, said lightly, rarely kindly solving his doubts, "You are too tall, what Anke dislikes most is people who are taller than her."

·
Luo blinked, and when Encore jumped seven or eight steps away from him, the cats beside his legs disappeared.

·
Unknowingly, the two samurai at the back of the line watched the farce just now with amused expression, chatting occasionally while walking down slowly.

·
"I don't believe I can't finish walking by myself?!", the Persian cat started to climb down on hands and feet with inexplicable fighting spirit. The result of not using various abilities was that his legs and hands were dirty a lot.

·
The cat viper boss walked down slowly, but his chubby body was very flexible. Hearing Encore's voice behind him, he couldn't help but reminded with a smile, "Little baby, the stairs are very long, be careful."

·
"!!!", Anke is now pressing his hands on the steps, and one leg is stretching to the next step. When he heard the words of the boss of the cat viper, his body couldn't help but froze.The stairs are long?Meaning she's going up super long stairs? ?

·
After silently retracting the stretched legs, the man squatting on the ground stretched out his dirty paws and grabbed the trouser legs of a guy passing by him.

·
Luo, who was caught just now, looked down at the pitiful looking cat, glanced at the knife in his left hand, and then moved to a small stone on the steps below, thinking that if he used his ability I don't know if it's possible to replace her below.
·
Zoro looked at the cat who said he wanted to walk by himself but stopped after walking a few steps with some amusement, and stretched out his hands to hug her, "Didn't you say you wanted to walk down by yourself?"

·
"Because the cat viper boss said to be careful, for me to be careful means not to walk~" Anke found a very good reason without hesitation, and after being hugged, he directly took the dusty moss His paws wiped Sauron's body.

·
Zoro just raised his eyebrows as usual, and asked her to wipe his hands clean.Really, the guy who is so good at flying can climb the stairs like a child.

After walking for nearly half an hour, I finally came to the end of the stairs.The men who had been imagining the image of ninjas cheered immediately, after all, the legendary ninja was about to appear in their field of vision.

·
Ninjas, wearing black tights and masks, not only know shuriken, but also use various ninjutsu. Think about it, they are handsome~~~
·
When he was approaching the end of the stairs, he suddenly heard a thick and mournful roar.The cat viper boss explained, "That's Lei Zang's voice."

·
"A ninja's???", the eyes of Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper instantly lit up, and they rushed down at the speed of light. Franky, who didn't want to miss such a historic moment, also joined them. I ran to the bottom in no time.

·
The basement looked dark because there was no sunlight, but because of the existence of the glowing plants, people could still see it clearly.

·
The cat viper boss introduced the roaring ninja with a smile,
·
"Here, he is the ninja Raizou."

·
"Ninja, Shinobu...", when his eyes came into contact with the so-called ninja, Luffy's words suddenly stopped.Was what he saw hallucinating?Is the legendary ninja the guy I saw?
·
The five-short ninja Raizo was tied to a red square stone with thick iron chains, and there were some empty dishes in front of him. (Ninja from Wano Country, Raizo of the Fog. Five short stature, but as tall as Kin'emon and the others, nearly three meters, looks very bulky, with a huge head, ugly face, hairstyle like spider's legs, left and right Three of each. Dressed in blue nuclides and tied with giant blue knots.)
·
Seeing the arrival of the boss of the cat viper, Lei Zang cried and shouted with tears on his face, "You are finally here! Cat viper! Why don't you hand over the boss to the enemy! Everyone who comes here to deliver food With wounds!! They say that everything in the country is fine! Is this true? If it is a lie! Then I, Lei Zang, will definitely hate you to the end!! Ha!!!”

·
The imaginary ninja should have tough eyes, but in reality they are like bull's eyes like copper bells.The imaginary ninja has a slender, strong and flexible body, but in reality the samurai has a short and short stature.The imaginary ninja performed ninjutsu with a scroll in his mouth, but in reality he was in a state of embarrassment with tears and snot running down his nose.

·
"Crack!", the imaginary picture of the extremely handsome ninja in his mind instantly shattered into slag, and fell to the ground with a crackle.

·
Seeing the appearance of the ninja who had been looking forward to so long, Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, and Franky rushed down with shock and frustration on their faces, and shouted in disbelief, "Oh??? What? It's different from what I imagined!!!”

·
Raizo, who was still full of tears, struggled vigorously, but there was no change except for the rustling sound of the iron chain.After taking a deep breath, he loudly asked the boss Mao Viper, who was tied up with his left hand into a rice dumpling, "Hey! What happened?! Mao Viper!"

·
The cat viper boss just said in a deep voice, "Forgive me, Lei Zang, because there is really no way.

·
At this time, Luffy, Usopp, Chopper, and Franky had been hit to the ground because of the huge gap between imagination and reality, and the gloomy low pressure was visible to the naked eye, lifeless as if they were trapped It's like people are empty.

·
Sauron put down the encore, frowned slightly and looked at the ninja who was tied to the red stone in front of him, "I don't feel that way..."

·
Luo also pulled down the brim of his hat to cover his eyes, and let out a slight 'tsk' in disappointment.I originally thought that the ninja in the legend had a handsome and unrestrained appearance, but in reality this one is really too difficult to catch...

·
Anke blinked and looked at the people in front, and looked at the two of them suspiciously, "Is this what a ninja looks like?"

·
"How is it possible?" Sauron and Luo answered tacitly, expressing that it was difficult to accept what they saw.

·
"The face is so big..." Luffy disappointed

·
"I feel like I'm running slowly..." Chopper, who was shocked

·
"That's Raizo...", Frustrated Cyborg

·
"How could that kind of guy be a ninja..." Usopp didn't want to admit the fact
·
At this time, Lei Zang saw Luffy and the others whose clothes and appearance were incompatible with this country, "You are not from this country, who are you?"

·
Kin'emon and the others walked here slowly, and when they saw their long-lost companion, they immediately shouted excitedly, "Raizou!!"

·
Seeing them, Raizo immediately laughed happily, with tears and snot on his face, he looked embarrassed, "Kin'emon, Kanjuro, Momanosuke-sama! It's great that you are all right~~"

·
Momonosuke also jumped off Kin'emon's back in spirit, and happily ran to his side, "Raizou~"

·
"I kept you waiting, Raizou. I will unchain you now." Kinemon stepped forward and began to help him untie the chains and handcuffs on his body.

·
"I'm sorry to bother you." Lei Zang nodded with a smile, and stood up after the restraints on his body were removed, rubbing his sore wrists, and he always felt a few creepy gazes.

·
When I looked over, I saw a bunch of men (Luffy, Zoro, Franky, Usopp, Chopper, and Luo) standing there, their expressions were so bad that they couldn't be described with the word 'disappointed' .

·
For some reason, Lei Zang, who became the focus, looked at them strangely, and asked puzzledly, "What's going on with you guys?!"

·
Luffy, Usopp, and Chopper just looked around him for a long time, and the more they looked at their faces, the more disappointed they became, and finally collectively sighed.Seeing the obvious disappointment and anger on their faces, Lei Zang felt even more inexplicable.

·
Seeing their childish looks, Anke shook his head helplessly, then raised his legs and walked to the huge red cube stone.The standard cubic stone is very similar to the stones that recorded the historical texts seen before, but the color is red. Even though the corners are covered with a lot of moss, the solemnity can still be seen.

·
Anke walked there, looked up at the ancient characters engraved on the red stone, and after looking at it for a while, he pursed his lips and laughed.

·
Seeing her appearance, the cat viper boss came over and asked a little surprised, "Do you understand? Cat little doll?"'

·
"After all, the records of ancient weapons are also written in ancient characters, so they are still understandable." Anke smiled lightly, and continued to study the words on the stone, "However, this kind of professional thing, still let us It’s good for a professional to do it. I don’t want to be involved in this anymore, and I already know it.”

·
The cat viper boss looked at her blood-red left eye, put the bong in his mouth, and then touched her head with his free right hand, his broad palm almost completely covering her small head.

·
Anke just accepted the wordless comfort in silence, smiled slightly and felt a little relieved.

·
After messing up the little guy's hair, the boss of the cat viper retracted his hand and took the bong and blew a few smoke rings, and then said lightly, "Where is your strength, those people dare not easily deal with it. What do you do, in comparison, Nicole Robin is an easier character to get."

·
"The historian of the Straw Hat Pirates is very precious~" Anke smiled mischievously, subconsciously reached out and touched his left eye, and then released it like an electric shock, and then said casually, "You Say, why did that family do these things? The blank 100 years is not a glorious thing, why are human beings always so entangled?"

·
The cat viper boss didn't quite understand what she said at first, but after he figured it out, he left and shrank his pupils in surprise, "You know??"

·
"Well, I know it dramatically. I even know the place that pirates dream of." Anke looked up at the stone, and reached out to touch the words on it, "Stuck in the past, and after learning It may be wiped out because it is too dark. Because of curiosity about that period of history, future generations will pursue the so-called truth. So why repeat it.”

·
The cat viper boss looked at her, and said lightly, "That's because people are curious about things they don't know, and wanting to know the truth is also an instinct."

·
"This is human beings. It's a pity that I have never had such an impulse." Anke quietly looked at the stone with history written on it, and reached out to touch one of the characters, "I am already sentimental enough now. Now, if I learn more emotions, I will hesitate when it comes time to fight."

·
The cat viper boss didn't continue to say anything, but just smoked silently.Those words that sound gentle but actually cold, even he who has experienced countless vicissitudes of life does not know how to answer.

·
At this time, Robin came down from the top, and saw the family crest on the opposite wall that was exactly the same as that on the back of Kin'emon, "Is that the family crest of the Kozuki clan?"

·
Duke Inuarashi looked at the huge family crest, and said lightly, "This crest existed hundreds of years ago."

·
Robin pointed to the huge red stone and asked urgently, "Is there another stone? I've never seen such a bright red one."

·
"It's the text of history." Duke Inuarashi looked at the stone, then looked at Robin and said, "I know you, Nicole Robin. I heard that O'Hara deciphered that text,"

·
"Do you know O'Hara?!", Robin looked at the two kings in front of him in surprise, recalling the memory of learning how to decipher ancient texts with his own ability when scholars were studying those ancient texts when he was a child, and immediately What followed was O'Hara's silence in a sea of ​​flames.

·
After pursing her lips slightly, she asked seriously, "Why isn't that stone red? It's not the same color as the historical texts I've seen so far."

·
"The purpose is different," Duke Inuarashi looked at the stone, and after stopping for a while at the girl whose back was facing them, he looked at Robin, "Can you understand it?"

·
"Hmm! Can I watch it?" Robin asked excitedly, with impatience in his words.

·
"of course can."

·
Hearing the permission, Robin immediately ran to the stone happily, and excitedly stretched out his hand to caress the ancient red text.

·
Enke still looked up at the words, and said with a light smile, "I said that there are things you are very interested in here, right~"

·
"Miss Anke?!", Robin was a little startled when he realized that Anke was standing nearby.After regaining his senses, he suppressed his excitement and smiled and nodded, "Hmm! I've never seen such a historical text!!"

·
"That's because the number of these red stones is only four." After reading the recorded content, Anke looked at her and smiled meaningfully, "I'll leave it to you, the history of the Straw Hat Pirates scientist."

·
Robin looked at her back in surprise, always feeling that there were several layers of meaning in Anke's words, but even though she was as smart as she was, she still couldn't guess what the lovely deputy captain wanted to say.

·
Robin shook his head, turned his attention back to the stone in front of him, and began to read.After all, she didn't think she had the ability to guess what the deputy captain was thinking, and it was time for her to explain.
