Behind the scenes of One Piece

"Report to the captain, a ship has been spotted on the left front!"

"Report to the captain, you can see the pattern on the sail clearly, it's the Straw Hats!"

"Okay, we met as expected." Gu Li said with a smile.

Originally, in his estimation, Luffy and the others should be on their way from the Drum Kingdom to Alabasta. During the past two days of sailing, he had arranged at least five lookouts, so he was afraid of missing them.

"Use a semaphore signal and ask to get closer," he ordered.

Soon, the Wei Feng rendezvoused with the Mei Li.

"How are you all?" Guli straightened his clothes and jumped on the Meili.

"Magician!" Luffy jumped up first: "I knew you would be fine!"

"Mr. Magician, how is Ikarem?" Weiwei asked.

"We arrived at Nahana a few days ago, and Ikarem rushed to the capital from there. He should be at the palace now." Guli explained.

"Ah, great, that way my father can know Crocodile's conspiracy in advance and be prepared." Weiwei covered her mouth happily: "It's great that you are all safe and sound!"

"Welcome back!"

Zoro and Sanji both smiled and said hello. Both of them were a bit reserved as men and did not make any big moves.

Nami was different. She held the newspaper in her hand and hit Guli hard on the head twice:

"Since you're fine, why didn't you come back earlier? Did you know that I almost got sick and died this time?"

"Really? I see you are very lively now."

Guli said as he handed two suitcases full of money to Nami.

Nami took it inexplicably and opened it, her eyes immediately glowing with golden light.

"I'm afraid it's not 3000 million Baileys...more than that, it should be [-] million! You are worthy of being a magician. I like you the most!"

Guli nodded: "It's exactly 3000 million Baileys. You have really good eyesight."

This money was won from Crocodile's casino, as well as income from selling arms.As for Pujiduo's original money, he returned all of it.

"Magician, magician, come and see!" Usopu pulled the somewhat shy Chopper over and ran over:

"This is our new member Chopper! Guess what his occupation is?"

"Let me guess -" Gu Li scratched his head deliberately: "Nami said she was sick just now, and now she is alive and well, it must be Dr. Qiaoba who cured her!"

"No, no, no~" Chopper blushed and smiled wildly: "It's mainly Dr. Gureva, I'm just helping."

"What a humble doctor." Gu Li smiled and stretched out his right hand: "I am Gu Li, nice to meet you."

"I'm Chopper, and I'm very happy too." Chopper also stretched out his deer hand.

When two people shook hands, they were officially acquainted.

The new and old partners on the Merry side have finished getting to know each other, and the official farewells on the Prestige side are about to begin.

Both Moen and Pujiduo are going back to Amambai Island to prepare for the follow-up plan.

There was no need for Gadlo to go. He discussed with Guli and moved to the Melly.

After a few people exchanged pleasantries, the Prestige left. The black flag with the magician's skull pattern disappeared into the distance along with the ship.

……

Six days later, the Mellie arrived at the port of Nahana.

The speed of the three-masted sailing ship was still much slower than that of the Wei Feng. The same journey took the Wei Feng less than two days.

What made Guli depressed was that he forgot to leave some food on the Wei Feng. As a result, the entire ship ran out of food in the last three days, and everyone had to starve for three days.

So as soon as the Merry docked, Luffy turned into a gust of wind and went ashore to find food.

The others got off the boat and went shopping separately, while Guli followed Gadro to his residence.

"You got another call from Spangdam later?"

Guli was a little surprised when he heard the news.

CP5 was broken into pieces by him, and he thought Spangdam had given up.

"It's a new mission." Gadlo said: "He asked me to send a phone bug to Magic Valley Town and give it to a stranger."

"Did you answer it?" Guli asked.

Gadlo nodded, seeming to see Guli's surprise. He explained: "The condition for doing this task is that Spandam promises to help me investigate something that is very important to me."

"Spandam is really thick-skinned, and he has the nerve to arrange tasks for you in this state." Guli sighed.

"I guess he really can't find anyone." Gadlo smiled.

"Are you in a hurry? If you can wait a few days, we can go together on the Merry."

"It's in a hurry. The boat is not a problem. I have already prepared a boat."

Seeing that Gadlo had made up his mind, Guli didn't say anything.

But according to the development of the plot, when Luffy and the others went to Demon Valley Town, Blackbeard and his gang were also there, and maybe they have gone there now.

So he gave Gadlo a very serious instruction, hoping that he would try to avoid Blackbeard and the others.

Just when he was about to say goodbye to Gadlo, a long-lost reminder suddenly sounded in his mind:

【Ding! 】

[The series of plot missions in Demon Valley Town has been started. 】

[Task [-]: Help Gadlo complete the task. 】

[Bonus points: 20 points]

Huh?The system actually wants me to go to Magic Valley Town now?

Gu Li was a little surprised, but after thinking about it carefully, Luffy and the others would definitely be able to handle the matter in Alabasta, so he had nothing to worry about.

"Let me go to Magic Valley Town with you." Guli said to Gadlo: "But before that, I have to go to the Meili to tell everyone."

The two took the boat to the Mellie, and found a familiar figure on the deck.

"Ace!"

"Ha, Magician! See you again." Ace greeted Guli happily.

"Do you know each other?" Luffy and others were surprised.

So Guli told the story of how the two met.

"So, everyone is quite destined." After hearing what he said, Nami concluded.

"Okay, I'm leaving!"

After Ace gave Luffy a note made of life paper, he jumped on his own speedboat and prepared to leave.

Gu Li suddenly felt something in his heart.

"Mr. Ace, where do you plan to go next?"

"Next stop? I haven't thought about it yet." Ace shook his head and said, "I'm chasing the guy named Blackbeard. He shouldn't be too far away from Alabasta. Some people say that he appeared in Nahana seven days ago. Pass."

"I know where he is!" Guli said: "His next stop is Magic Valley Town!"

"Oh? If the news is reliable, then I'll go to Magic Valley Town and have a look." Ace immediately adjusted the direction of the ship's bow.

"Why don't you come with me? I also plan to go to Magic Valley Town to do something."

Guli said, turned to Luffy and asked: "Can you handle Weiwei's matter? Do you need me to stay?"

"It doesn't matter, I can do it!" Luffy shouted: "Just knock that Crocodile away!"
