The Furry King of Pirates

A hint of coolness melted in the palm of my hand.

This is the first snowflake after leaving Thunder Island.

"Are we going to encounter abnormal weather?"

Talk to yourself.

Blue was sitting in the pavilion at the top of the Fudo Myooh, quietly drinking catnip tea as usual.

Sika has not recovered yet and cannot lie outside the pavilion as usual. Tiger is not here either and has gone to play on the lower floor.

The temperature outside the pavilion has been dropping, but the temperature inside has not changed that significantly. It is even a little warm, making Blue a little lazy.

These days, he has lowered the intensity of his exercises. Every time he turns on the limiter, it is an overdraft. It was nothing at first, but recently he has begun to feel the physical weakness, and he must take a good rest to recover.

[Xika’s injuries are still a lot worse... There’s nothing we can do about it, just wait. 】

[I have never met a news bird. I wonder if that guy Morgans will report on my story again. I am really convinced by this guy. 】

[Every time I exaggerate the facts, it doesn’t matter if I exaggerate the facts. Even if the bounty rises too fast, I’m still under pressure. 】

【How do you say that?Oh, yes, virtue is not worthy! 】

[As long as you are not in the top echelon, don’t worry too much. Besides, the sea is so big, it’s not that easy to encounter. 】

[But I still have to keep a low profile. Not long after I entered the new world, I have already provoked the navy, Big Mom, and Kaido. Coupled with my unlucky physique, I feel like my future is in doubt. 】

Thinking of this, Blue couldn't help but feel frightened. In the first half of the game, he didn't feel any pressure.

But after entering the new world, there is a territory ruled by the Pirate Emperor. Even in places that are not ruled by many powerful forces.

After all, Blue thought to himself, with their current strength, they cannot be said to be foolproof.

It is foreseeable that after Thunder God Island, Kaido and Big Mom will definitely regard themselves as a thorn in their side, and they don’t know how they will deal with them.

You have to prepare for the worst.

[It would be less troublesome to remove the logo on the flag first...]

Thinking about his future, he picked up the tea cup and took a sip, and the feeling of pleasure reverberated.

"Captain, we found an island ahead that is not recorded on the map."

Ratched's questioning voice came from the communicator.

"Island without records? It's Winter Island, it doesn't look big."

Looking at the past from a distance, there was a white shadow, and with Blue's eyesight, he could only make out a rough outline.

"Yes, the whole thing is a snow-capped mountain above the sea. According to my observations, no human habitation has been found yet."

Ratched told what he saw through the telescope and asked, "Are you going to land?"

"Why not? Now that we're here, let's go up and have a look. Maybe there's something interesting."

Putting down the tea cup, Blue stood up and looked at the snow-capped mountains getting closer and closer.

"Let me know if anyone wants to climb the snow-capped mountains with me."

……

This is an unremarkable snow mountain.

Perhaps the most interesting part is the fact that he is standing alone on the sea.

It's about 1000 meters high and covers a small area, so it looks a bit slender.

The entire mountain is white, like an old popsicle rising from the sea.

It doesn't look majestic when you look at it from a distance, but it's scary when you look up close. The slope is very steep.

……

Halfway up the mountain, there are three figures climbing.

It was Blue, and Tiger and Mogushan who were interested in braving the snow and coming out to join in the fun.

In fact, little ones are also clamoring to come over, but sports like climbing snow mountains are still not suitable for children.

Fortunately, he didn't come. Given the steepness of this mountain, even Tiger Mountain and Mogu Mountain would be difficult to climb.

And the higher you go, the thinner the air and the heavier the wind and snow. It is impossible to climb up on moon steps.

If you are not careful, you will be blown directly into the valley.

Blue himself has the ability to fly against gravity, but he would rather climb up slowly. He has never climbed a snow-capped mountain before.

How interesting!

Among the three, only Mogushan was wearing a down jacket, but he was also the one who suffered the most from the cold. After all, he had been growing up in a tropical environment.

"Boss, is it too late to regret it now?"

Mogushan vibrates.

Blue expressed sympathy, but shook his head: "We're already halfway up the mountain. Try harder. If it's really cold, just stay close to me and I'll stand taller."

Tiger also said that he could let him get closer because he was furry and warm.

"Haha, no need. In fact, it's not that cold. I made a lot of heat-producing seeds. Even climbing this snowy mountain is a bit boring. There are no trees, no animals, no people. It's bare, just a mouthful of snow."

Mogu Mountain is actually just trying to find an excuse to escape. This snowy mountain is really desperate.

"The fun of mountain climbing is climbing, you have to experience it carefully!"

"But this is not the exciting adventure I like..."

Blue raised a smile and said, "No, when we get to the top of the mountain, I will show you something interesting!"

Mogushan's eyes couldn't help but look at the long package carried by Tiger, wondering what kind of medicine was sold in Brugourd.

This really piqued his interest, and he urged: "Hurry up! Rush!"

Then there were shouts and screams from the mountainside, and a long line of stirred up snow lines could be seen in the distance.

……

Near the other side of the mountain top, two huge figures obscured by shadows were talking.

The voice is low.

"It sounds like the sound of wild animals, no, it's also the sound of humans. Someone actually came up from this place?"

"Go and see?"

"of course."

……

"Oh ho! Let's get to the top of the mountain!"

"Hoo hoo hoo hoo!"

Climbing with all their strength, the three of them reached the top of the mountain in no time.

We have passed through the lowest stratocumulus clouds here, and the view is very wide.

They stepped onto the top of the snow-capped mountains, feeling like they were standing on top of the world, overlooking the magnificent scenery.

The clouds here have a thick feeling, like metal rubbing against the ridge.

You can also have a panoramic view of the sea in the distance. A little further away are black waves, and even further away is a line of blue, which is very magical.

Blue felt the sense of victory and satisfaction in defeating the snow-capped mountains, and also felt the greatness and magnificence of nature.

"Boss, what are we playing?"

Mogushan can’t wait.

Blue laughed and took off the package from Tiger. Inside was a pile of plates.

"This is a ski. I ordered it from Ratchet and Tom before. We both have copies. The size should be just right."

Mogu Shan knocked on the wooden board, "Eh? Is this made of Adam's wood?"

"Yeah, Adam is tough, flexible, and not heavy, so he's perfect for snowboarding!"

Blue took out his piece of veneer. There was a black cat's paw pattern on both sides of the light yellow log.

[The styling seems a bit interesting, but it’s also pretty good. 】

Mogushan has a single board like Blue, while Tiger has four boards.

It took a lot of effort to help them put on their skis, but they were all measured in advance and there was nothing inappropriate.

By the way, I explained how to ski.

Mogushan looked like you were teasing me, "Boss, this is a 1000-meter mountain. Is there any problem in sliding down on this board? I have never used this thing before."

He kept his balance precariously, which was really uneasy.

On the other hand, Tiger's four boards are very wide, making it stable to stand in the snow, even more comfortable than when barefoot.

"I haven't skated a few times."

"When you say that, my heart becomes even colder."

"Meow haha, don't worry. Of course I have thought about the problem you mentioned. Generally speaking, it is impossible for a novice to skate like this. It is no different from dying. But I have already thought of a way on the way here."

"any solution?"

"Don't you have parachute seeds that can open and fluffy grass seeds that can prevent impact? Prepare a few more. If the speed is too fast and you can't control it, open the parachute; if you fall, activate the fluffy grass. .”

"Yeah, that's okay too!"

Mogushan's eyes lit up.

Blue continued: "As for Tiger, I will take care of him, don't worry."

Tiger happily came over and rubbed Blue's head.

Seeing Tiger's heartless look, Mogushan began to feel that he was the least safe among the three people.

Blue patted Mogushan and said, "Let's go, skate first and follow me!"

Then he took the lead and started to slide down. Tiger also felt no fear. Cats are not afraid of heights, so he went down in a flash.

"I'm not mentally prepared yet!"

"Hoohoho!"

Although he was uneasy, Mogushan still felt confident and followed.

Skiing is an intoxicating sport. The sense of pleasure is like the music of traveling through nature, and the dance of intimate contact with the snow.

In fact, when Blue stood on the top of the snow-capped mountains, overlooking the rolling snow slopes, his heartbeat was already racing and he was very excited.

When the skis cut through the snow, for a moment, he seemed to become a part of nature and integrated with the snow-capped mountains.

The skis are sliding on the snow, snow particles are flying, and the cold wind is howling.

Speeding down the slope, the wind whistled in my ears and snowflakes danced around me.

Many difficult movements that could not be done in previous lives were actually performed very smoothly with his current coordination and reaction speed.

That sense of speed and elegance made Blue feel extremely happy, as if he were a bird flying in the white world.

The pleasure of skiing not only comes from speed, but also from close contact with nature.

The snowflakes on the ground were soft and soft, and the skis under my feet were light and smooth.

You can feel the communication between every inch of skin and the snow, and every turn and brake is a dialogue with nature.

Of course, this is for Blue, who is a ski enthusiast.

Mogu Mountain was not that comfortable at the beginning, not to mention the cold wind blowing against my face.

It felt like falling headlong into the earth.

It felt like butter had been stepped on under my feet, and I couldn't control it at all.

What's even more outrageous is that he lost control and the nose of the board stuck into the snow and was immediately bounced away.

"Ahhhhh~"

Fortunately, he opened the parachute immediately and spread out a lot of fluffy grass, and then he stopped safely.

In fact, the snow was very thick, and it wouldn't hurt him if he fell.

It's just the uncontrollable speed that's frightening.

Mogu Shan calmed down his pounding heart, looked down, and saw Tiger first.

The guy kept his crouching posture slightly and rushed straight down the mountain, roaring non-stop, obviously very excited.

"Four legs are stable! But does Tiger know how to brake?"

A little ahead of Tiger was Blue. He was like a swallow flying up and down on the snow slope.

"Nima, the boss is lying to me. He even told me that I am a newbie!"

Seemingly seeing the stopped Mogu Mountain, Blue returned to the mountain and first steadily caught Tiger, who was rushing rapidly, and then the two stopped on the snow slope.

"Don't stop! Come down!"

Blue waved and Tiger winked.

Afraid of being laughed at by Tiger, Mogushan threw away his parachute and slid down the straight board again.

Blue chuckled secretly, [That's it!Straight up is the fastest way to learn to ski!The premise is that if you are not afraid of death. 】

Of course, with Mogu Shan's methods, he wouldn't fall to death.

Gradually, Mogushan also found some feeling and was able to glide intermittently.

Tiger was not satisfied with just one pose and started to play tricks.

Every time his posture changed, the snowboard under his feet started to work against him.

No, he turned into a big windmill and rolled all the way down the mountain, making a lot of noise.

Blue quickly ejected and flew over to catch him.

at this time!

"boom!"

Gunshots sounded!

Almost at the same time, a bullet had reached the back of Blue's head.

Blue had already stretched out his hand to support Tiger, exerting a lot of force. It was definitely too late to withdraw his strength at this time.

Even if he could react, he could no longer control his body to dodge the bullet.

In other words, this bullet is bound to hit!

The person who shot this bullet must have made precise calculations and had enough experience.

The guy in the shadow raised the corner of his mouth, it’s done!That cat man must die!

He saw the right opportunity and wanted to put Blue to death.

Blue did not make any move and allowed the bullet to approach.

But the bullet did stop in the air contrary to common sense, only ten centimeters away from Blue's head.

The expected sight of the brain blooming did not appear, and the people in the shadows were so frightened that they forgot their actions for a moment.

Blue also stopped firmly, and Tiger was still a little dizzy, lying on the snow to catch his breath.

On the other hand, Mogu Shan, who heard the gunshots from behind, immediately deployed his parachute, the Gatling in his hand also swelled up, and he looked around with a vigilant expression.

"who is it!"

Mogu Shan let go of the investigation, and he was even more surprised when he saw that there was no movement at all.

"Boss, be careful. The person who fired the shot is very well hidden. I can't find him with my knowledge."

Blue took off the stagnant bullet and frowned slightly.

Because he had to take care of Tiger, he actually kept the camera on, but until the gunfire rang out, he didn't notice anyone's presence.

Even now, he couldn't feel anything except the wind and snow.

[However...since he took action, there are still traces! 】

It doesn't matter if you don't feel it, he knows the general direction.

Blue pointed toward the hillside on the right, and Mogushan immediately understood. Regardless of whether he could see anyone or not, he directly turned on the maximum firepower and fired ruthlessly.

The hidden gunman was originally going to rely on his own concealment methods to leave, but he didn't expect the other party to react so quickly.

Before he could get far, countless bullets flew from behind.

In fact, it’s all seeds, explosive seeds!

In an instant, countless fireballs bloomed on the ridge!

This was an indiscriminate ground-washing attack, and almost everything within sight was blown apart.

Of course, the gunman could not completely avoid such an attack, and turned into a embarrassed shadow and flew out of a mountain col.

"Oh, he's so big!"

Blue also didn't expect that the gunman with such a concealed aura was actually a big man.

Before he could sigh, Blue had already swooped over, and the bubbles of the cat's paw emerged from the concentrated impact.

Cat Fist Wave!

With one solid blow, the figure fell heavily into the snow, creating a deep pit. He didn't even scream, and seemed to have passed out directly.

Standing next to the snow pit, Blue had a strange expression on his face.

This is actually a giant with white hair all over his body!

He has a square face with some wild animal features, a top hat tilted to one side, a tie on his chest, and a pair of shorts.

Mogu Shan picked up a giant rifle from somewhere and put it on his shoulder.

"Hey! This guy can't be a fur tribe, right? Is he a fellow countryman of yours, boss? But why is he so big!"

"It shouldn't be..." The corner of Blue's mouth twitched, "I don't have any fellow countrymen who want to kill me."

But it always felt like he had seen it before somewhere. With this feeling, Blue knew that this guy was definitely a plot character.

giant?fur?Orcs?snowman?

【Oh, right! 】

Blue finally remembered that this guy was one of Caesar's men, the Yeti Brothers.

No, they were Caesar's men in the original plot, but I don't know if they are now.

Is Caesar also around here?

He still dares to come here for revenge?

He doesn't think that he can kill himself with the Snowman Brothers.

Although I vaguely remember that the Yeti brothers are good at assassination, their abilities are only third-rate.

Could it be that there are other helpers?

Blue became slightly vigilant. Except for another member of the Yeti Brothers who was most likely nearby, he could not rule out the worst guess.

"I hope my guess is wrong..."

Mogu Shan saw Blue frowning and put away his casual look, "Boss? The situation is not good?"

"I can't say for sure, but it's better to be careful, Tiger! You drag him out, and then we go down the mountain."

It is necessary to keep someone alive, whether for information or as a hostage.

The wind and snow were heavy, the communicator signal was not good, and the Fudo Myooh could not be contacted, so Blue was not at ease.

And the snow-capped mountains are not very safe after all. It’s a blessing that the recent movement didn’t cause an avalanche.

So the three of them quickly descended the mountain solemnly.

At the foot of the mountain, Blue breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Fudo Myooh was safe.

On the deck, Rafiqi was wielding a knife. When he saw that Blue had brought a big guy up, he put away his knife and jumped to the shore.

"Captain, did you catch a snowman? Such a big one. Still wearing clothes?"

At first he thought it was Blue's entertainment, until Blue explained.

"No, this is a killer. He just attacked us halfway up the mountain. We knocked him unconscious and brought him down."

Rafiki tightened his grip on the hilt of the knife.

"Haha, don't be too nervous. It's not the worst case scenario I thought."

The worst-case scenario is that Caesar brings a large group of people to take revenge, but seeing that the Fudo Meiou is fine, he knows that it shouldn't be the case.

Otherwise, there is no reason why a ship without a captain and such a big target should not be attacked.

"Boss, do you know this guy? Is he really not a fellow countryman?"

Mogushan also saw that the boss had recognized the identity of the snowman.

"No, no, if I have to say it, this is a snow giant, more of an orc, not our fur tribe. And, as far as I know, besides him, there should be another one, his brother, who must be nearby at the moment. Where are you looking at us?"

"So you kept him alive to lure him here?"

"Well, it's an insurance policy. Let's take his brother with us to save him from getting entangled." Blue then said loudly: "You heard it, if you don't come out, I will kill your brother! Don't think I'm joking."

After a while, another snow giant with similar appearance came out like a shadow growing out of the snow.

He was also wearing shorts and a top hat, but no tie.

He looked here and said nothing.

[You actually came out for your brothers?Love and justice are important. 】

Blue spoke first, "Let me ask you an answer. Don't take any chances. Why did you attack me?"

"For the bounty."

low voice.

As expected, Blu thought, "You are killers, right? Who hired you to kill me?"

"It's a reward issued by the Don Quixote family. Your head is worth [-] million beli, and we happened to meet you on the snowy mountain."

"So you want to kill me?"

"Yes."

"Have you ever considered that [-] million heads are something you can chew on?"

"We are good at assassination..."

Blue is speechless, good at assassination?No, maybe the [-] million bounty went to his head.

[There is no other aura in the induction. It seems that there is no other messenger. It is impossible for everyone to be as good at concealment as the Yeti brothers. 】

"So that's it, there's no one else?"

"No, in this Iceland, only our brothers will stop by occasionally. No one else will come at all."

"..."

Blue gave Rafiki a wink, and Rafiki crouched forward.

The snowman took a step back and said tremblingly: "What do you want to do? I have already answered your question..."

Blue was expressionless. If he came out to fool around, he would always have to pay back, not to mention someone who shot at himself.

Although the snowman had some special abilities in concealment and movement, it didn't take long before he was hacked to death by Rafiki.

The unconscious snowman was also shot to death by Mogushan.

Tiger dug a big hole and buried them both.

Blue watched all this quietly. These two snowman brothers were not really powerful characters in the original work and were not worth mentioning.

However, when I go skiing, I can still be assassinated. I can’t help but sigh that my luck is really bad.

The good mood was ruined.

So he waved his hand and led a few people back to the Fudo Myooh.

He handed the skis to Ratchet and told him a few details that needed to be changed. Ratched nodded in agreement.

In fact, regarding the adjustment of the board, I still have to rely on Tom's skills, but it is a small matter.

No one took the Snowman Brothers seriously.

Bounty hunters, assassins and the like are very common in this sea.

Next, we spent two more days playing on the island, and everyone finally experienced the joy of ice and snow.

Sitting on the snow by the seaside, Blue asked the little guy.

"Little guy, your hometown is not Winter Island, right?"

"Winter Island?"

"It's just a very cold island, similar to here."

"No."

"Is that a summer island? A bit hot?"

"No, it's neither hot nor cold. It's a very comfortable island with sea breeze."

"Oh, it looks like a livable Spring Island."

[A livable island...it shouldn't be simple at all. 】

Blue stood up and said, "Boys, let's set sail!"
