[One Piece] Exquisite alone

bang bang bang-

Huge water splashes shot around the Merry, and behind them were the four chasing warships.

"Damn it, how many times will we be chased by the navy!" Usopp kept complaining as he looked at the warships.

Although I used [Whisper of the Wind] to speed up the Meili, I still couldn't get rid of the four slowed down warships behind me.

I always feel that those warships have a good understanding of her abilities, is it an illusion?

Not only opened the wooden wheel at the bottom of the ship early, but it was also faster than those in Alabasta.

Sanji and Zoro fired back the cannonballs from behind, "I said Luffy, you can help too!"

"No, I'm out of strength." Luffy slumped on the deck, "I haven't eaten anything since morning..."

Sanji Shark Mouth: "What time is it and I'm still hungry!"

At this moment, one of the warships that was closer to the Meili suddenly disintegrated and scattered into the water.

"What's going on?" Usopp and Chopper watched as the intact ship turned into ruins.

Sauron guessed: "Is there internal strife?"

No matter what the reason was, Usopp stepped on the rafters triumphantly, "It's right! Smelly navy, I knew it would happen!"

Sauron complained: "When did you know?"

"Okay, escape from the gap in their formation now!" Nami immediately directed Xia Lan to change the direction of the wind and speed up.

Gradually, the warship had disappeared behind him, and Usopp worriedly pulled down the sniper scope and kept searching.

"Where's the navy?"

Robin holding a telescope next to him: "It seems to have been thrown away for a while."

Usopp: "The navy's pursuit seems to be getting tighter recently."

Sauron: "There are two bounty heads on board, no wonder the Navy felt like they had been beaten to death when they saw us."

Reward [-]: The captain sitting on the bow, Reward [-]: Nicole Robin sitting under the sun umbrella.Until now, the Straw Hats haven't seen any new reward orders.

Nami stood at the bow of the boat: "There is no need to speed up, the waters around here are full of hidden reefs, it's better to be careful."

"I see." After the wind cleared, Xia Lan looked down at the sea, and there were indeed many hidden reefs underneath.

Luffy was lying half dead on his exclusive seat of the lamb head, so hungry~ For Luffy, no matter how much food there was, it was not enough.

"There is a port!" Chopper looked at a small island that appeared in front of him as the messy stones disappeared.

Luffy was revived with full blood and got up to look over, "What? The port!?"

There is a huge lighthouse on the top of the tall building, Xia Lan exclaimed: "Wow, there is such a tall lighthouse!"

Lu Fei's eyes lit up: "The port, that means something has been eaten!"

"That's not a lighthouse at all." Chopper, who got off the boat first, carried his small blue schoolbag on his back, and carefully looked at the building that Xia Lan thought was a lighthouse. The appearance of an ordinary tower is that the top is wrapped in yellow cloth up.

"It doesn't matter, hurry up and eat, eat, eat!"

"Understood, you wipe the drool first."

Sauron was still guarding the boat. After all, with his level of insanity, he didn't know when he would come back when he went out.Of course, what Zoro thinks is: going out is not very interesting, it is better to catch up on sleep on the boat.

Several people were stopped at the entrance of the island. A guard said: "On our Lulujia Island, if there is a ship that wants to dock at the port or the outer coast, you must pay the entry tax."

As a result, during the dispute, the main characters in dispute were: Nami, who loves money like his life, and Sanji, who loves women like his life. In the end, the guard and Sanji were slapped to the ground by the impatient Luffy at the same time, and they rushed to the town first. Went to eat.

Several people took a pitiful look at the guard who had been stepped on, and walked over one after another to prepare to enter the town. Usopp, Robin, and Xia Lan, who were a little slower, were stopped by an old man dressed in a strange way.

"Hey there, I have something to ask."

Xia Lan: "What a strange grandpa."

Robin: "A new comedian?"

Usopp: "Maybe a profiteer."

"Nothing is right!" The old man with the package on his back opened the goggles and asked, "Have you seen the colorful fog?"

Usopp: "What? Colorful fog?"

Seeing his appearance, the old man turned his head and left, muttering: "Forget it, it turned out to be an idiot."

"He's calling you an idiot!" Usopp looked at Robin who was standing with her, but Robin ignored him.

"It's obviously talking about you." Xia Lan rubbed her forehead, feeling that Usopp's level of self-deception has risen again.

Usopp sharpened his teeth instantly, expressing his anger to the old man: "Wait a minute, how can someone ask a question with such an attitude!"

Robin raised his hand to stop Usopp, and at the same time raised his voice: "Can you speak clearly?"

The meeting with Luffy was in a small restaurant, and Nami Sanji and Chopper went to buy supplies.Of course, the old man followed up and ordered noodles without hesitation. The boss here knew him, and asked with a little contemptuous doubt: "Did you bring any money?"

"They treat guests!" The old man pointed to Usopp next to him, "I'll tell you the secret of the colorful fog, of course you want to treat!"

Xia Lan: Fortunately, Nami is not here. Nami doesn't give anyone a chance to take advantage of her, especially when it comes to money.

The old man didn't care about Usopp's dissatisfaction, and told his story. The old man's name was Henzo, and he was a genius scientist among the geniuses who studied the colorful fog.

Usopp thought: He still claims to be a genius, and generally those who claim to be geniuses are mediocre.

Robin: "Mr. Henzo..."

Henzo: "You can call me Doctor."

Hearing this, Usopp despised him even more.

Robin took out a book that she got in Alabasta, "Doctor, do you know this book? Although the author is unknown, the book was written 40 years ago. According to the book, the colorful fog It is the garden where the gods live, the entrance to Eldrad's El Dorado."

The old man Henzuo hurriedly flipped through the book with a serious expression, "It's just a legend. So far, countless adventurers have embarked on a journey to find the colorful mist after hearing this legend. But no one has returned. My friend was one of them."

Usopp suddenly said: "That's why you are looking for this fog!"

The store manager and customers who heard them discussing these things began to persuade them not to believe this person. He is a fake scientist who has received a research grant from the mayor but lives leisurely every day!

dong dong——

A sound of drumming came from the door of the restaurant, and the guests in the store shouted: "The expropriation team! The expropriation team is here!" Everyone hurriedly stuffed the food on the table into their mouths. The food I ordered was stuffed in together, my face turned red from the hotness, and smoke came out of my head.

As for?Just when Xia Lan didn't know why, a leader walked in from outside the door and taxed everyone in the hotel.

Tell the person holding the wine glass that you have to pay a drinking tax for drinking; you have to pay a food tax for eating...

Tax payment is an obligation of citizens, and those who fail to fulfill their obligations are not eligible to live in this city!

The store manager said that the leader was Philip, the second son of Mayor Weedon, who often came to collect taxes from the citizens.

This Philips asked Henzo about the progress of the research on the Seven Colors Mist, and got the situation that the research results were not clear.From his mouth, Xia Lan knew that the high tower on the outskirts of the island, the Rainbow Tower, was built at the request of Dr. Henzo.

"You are a large plate of macaroni, right? Anyone who eats a large plate has to pay a large plate tax!" Philips saw the food in Luffy's hand.

Luffy smiled and imitated the old man and pointed at Usopp: "He treats you!"

Finally Usopp walks out of the hotel with an empty wallet, furious as hell.

The store manager saw several people coming out with Henzo, and advised them, if you don't want to offend the people here, you'd better not get too close to that guy!

Robin thanked politely: "Thank you for your advice, but this is not my decision, it is the captain."

"What a big sailboat is coming to the port!" The citizens on the street were discussing.

Of course, Luffy and the others are indispensable to watch the excitement, so Xia Lan followed Luffy, and Luffy followed Henzo and the others to the port.

It was a very large pirate ship, red all over, the old man Henzo saw the ship kept saying the words "Tariye Star", excitedly pushed a small car from the side path towards Advance by sea.

The small car walking on the land suddenly swelled and floated on the sea when it reached the sea.

Seeing the moment when the car changed shape, Luffy was excited: "It's great! It's so handsome! I want it! I want it so much!!"

"Xia Lan, I'm going, I'm going to that ship!" Seeing the uncle get on that ship, of course Luffy couldn't stay.

"I know!" Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Xia Lan didn't plan to change clothes at all, and picked two inconspicuous [Wind Whispers] accessories at random, and it was still possible to fly over this distance.

"Uncle! Give me that boat!" Luffy pointed to the boat on the sea, and looked expectantly at Uncle Henzo who had climbed onto the "Tariye Star".

"You... ate a devil fruit?" The uncle watched them fall from the sky in surprise.

Luffy: "Me? I'm a rubber man who ate a rubber fruit."

"Rubber?" Henzo asked with question marks all over his head, can rubber fly?Then he rejected Luffy's request: "I can't give you that machine number H1."

Lu Fei acted like a baby: "Don't say that, give it to me!"

Walking into the interior of this pirate ship, there is no one there, but the food and rooms inside are clean.

Robin was puzzled: "It seems that someone was there just now..."

Usopp: "There is no one in the boat."

According to what Henry said, this ship was lost 50 years ago, but in Xia Lan's view, it didn't look like it was 50 years old at all.

The radar behind the uncle's back suddenly rang, and he ran out in a hurry, everyone followed behind him.

Walking to the side of the boat, a colorful mist floats in the distance above the sea.

That is the colorful fog!

Annoyed that the H1 could not go to the open sea, Henzo asked them to take him there, because the rudder of the Star Talies was broken by Weedon.

Usopp: "Why do you know these things, uncle?"

Uncle Henzo was a little downcast: "50 years ago, I took the Star Tariye."

In this way, with Luffy's consent, it is impossible for him not to get involved in an interesting adventure.The Golden Merry headed straight for the seven-colored fog. Xia Lan watched Sauron, who was still sleeping without being woken up by such a big movement, and sighed: Can he really hold the ship like this?

Sanji and the three of them hurried to the shore after experiencing some things, but found that the Golden Merry had disappeared. They guessed that the person who collected the tax just now drove the Golden Merry away.

Sanji: "What the hell does that green algae eat!"

"Do you really want to go in? Didn't it mean that so far, the adventurers who only go in have not come out?" Looking at the colorful fog so close at hand, Usopp hesitated.

"I want to go in. It is for this day that I have worked so hard to study until now." Uncle Henzo stared straight into the depths of the fog.

"Are you scared?" Robin looked at Long Nose.

Usopp breathed a sigh of relief, "Who is afraid of whom! I am Captain Usopp who traverses the great voyage!"

"I'm really curious about the difference between colorful fog and ordinary fog. This is a rare opportunity." Xia Lan patted Usopp on the shoulder, "Don't worry! I will protect you."

Usopp immediately cheered up: "Then I'll leave it to you!"

Luffy: "Wow! I rushed into the colorful fog!"

The Merry was slowly shrouded in fog, and Xia Lan's eyes were filled with colorful lights.
