One Piece: Heart Set Sail

After this incident, Xue paid more attention to Joey and Shaohua, always feeling that they seemed strange.However, since he was the only one who saw it, it doesn't count as evidence. You have to figure out what they want to do, otherwise going to tell Luo directly would be a bit deliberately targeted.

Two days later in the afternoon, Wu Ni, who was in the observation room, broadcast the news: "I saw the island! But it doesn't seem to be an ordinary island, it looks like a big tree, a very big tree!"

"Tree?" Everyone didn't know why, and they all crowded onto the deck to grab the binoculars.

It does look like a tree. Yukihara thought that the Argentine mangrove in the Chambord Islands was already the largest. Unexpectedly, on this island, this tree occupies most of the area. Many tree roots are like The ground is uneven, and most importantly, there is a city here, a city built on trees.

"It takes about a week to fully store the magnet." Bebo said, holding the record pointer: "Captain, are you planning to separate from us next?"

"I'll look for the permanent record pointer first, wait until the magnetic force is stored, and set sail at the same time." Luo still had to watch everyone sail forward smoothly before he could rest assured.

When they set foot on this island, everyone's mood was not as exciting as before, because Luo Jiang would be temporarily separated from them.While Xue was worried about Luo, she also had to be wary of Joey and Shaohua, always paying attention to their movements.

"Xiao Xue, why are you so taciturn? Everyone is so depressed. I'm really not used to it." Kaiden held a shopping list in his hand and said next to Xue. She would be very active if she usually went to the island.

Xue was helpless. The worry and tiredness on both sides made her sigh and laugh, but without saying anything, she pulled Xiaochan along: "Come on, Kaiden, we will go shopping with you."

"That's fine, but there's no need to be too hasty. After all, we have to stay on this island for seven days."

After some questioning, I learned the name of this tree island, Kemfland.People here make a living by selling fruits from the trees, and they are prosperous.The strange thing is that this fruit does not look good-looking, and the surface is prickly, but when you peel it off, it is sweet and sour, and tastes very good.

"Well, let's take more of these fruits with us when we set sail. It's really delicious." Xue ate one in her mouth and held another in her hand.

"According to Kaiden's cooking skills, we should be able to make a good ice drink. I'm already looking forward to it." Xiaochan's eyes curled up and her smile continued.

Luo went to find the permanent record pointer alone. It seemed that he really didn't want everyone to know his next destination.He was reassured that the voyage was completely left to Bebo, but the only thing was Xue and Joey.In the past few days, Luo You had thought about something about Joey's return and Shaohua's joining that made him feel a little strange. Maybe the Dragon Boat Flower organization gave up on these two people too easily, or maybe it was something else. , in short, Luo was a little uneasy.

The towering trees seemed to protect the entire Kemflanders. Kaiden first bought some food that would not spoil easily and returned to the ship to sort it out. Xue and Xiaochan climbed up the root of a tree. It's so thick it can be regarded as a hillside.There were several children sitting cross-legged on top, talking and dancing with great emotion. Seeing how cute they looked, Xue also sat next to Xiaochan.

"What are you talking about? You look very powerful." Xiaochan asked as she distributed the fruits in her pocket to the children one by one.

The children took the fruit and cheered. Although Kemflanders is rich in this kind of fruit, most of them were sold to merchant ships and they didn't actually keep much: "Thank you, sister, we are telling the story of the sacred tree." .”

"Oh? The story of the sacred tree?" Xue subconsciously looked at the tall, green and moist tree above her head: "Is this the one?"

"That's right!" The children looked at the big tree with this kind of belief: "The story about the sacred tree is familiar to the people of Kemflanders. In fact, the one called Kemflanders is not Our city, but this sacred tree.”

"Really? Can you tell us about it?"

"Okay, listen to me!" A little boy ate up the fruit in his hand and simply rubbed his hands on his clothes: "The legend goes like this, there is a power in the deepest root of the sacred tree. As long as When natural disasters such as earthquakes or tsunamis are coming, it will sense it, and then something more magical will happen!"

"Ah, what is it?"

"It will fly up with the entire Kemflanders! That way we can avoid being eroded by earthquakes and tsunamis!" A girl with a waxy voice added: "Grandma once told me that many years ago There was a particularly big tsunami. At that time, everyone saw the stormy waves coming and thought that everyone in the city would be drowned! At that time, it was the power of the sacred tree that saved everyone!"

Xiaochan and Xue both looked at each other in disbelief, could such a thing really happen?I have never heard of it before. If it is like the legend, this big tree is really a sacred tree. It stands on this island with a majestic figure and protects the whole party.

"Yes, I heard that the roots of the sacred tree emitted an emerald green light, supporting the entire island and flew up. It was not until the tsunami receded that the sacred tree slowly took root in the soil again. It is our Kaimfu Rand's greatest treasure!" It was obvious how much these children admired the big tree.

After listening to the story, the two admired a few words. Although they had never seen it with their own eyes, Xue still chose to believe that everything has animism. Maybe this is the mutual attraction between the big tree and the people here. People believe in it and it protects them. people.

"The Grand Line is really a wonderful place. Anything can happen." Xiaochan stretched and said.

"Yeah, I'm glad we left Mariejoia, otherwise we wouldn't be able to hear these legends and see so many scenery. I really hope that my mother can be free one day, so that she can also see the wonderful craftsmanship of this world. Actually, she also longs for freedom." Xue couldn't help but miss Xia Lu.

"But that will probably take a long time."

On the way back, the two of them were hanging out and chatting. Xue suddenly remembered the dispute with Joey two days ago, and then couldn't help but said to Xiaochan: "You should pay more attention to Joey and Shaohua, Xiaochan, I think they are very... Something’s wrong.”

"Huh? What should I say?" Xiaochan knew that there was some embarrassment between Xue and Joey, but if it was just embarrassment, based on the fact that she and Xue had been together for so many years, Xue would not say this: "Are you , any new discoveries?”

Xue nodded in response: "It must not be my imagination. Two days ago, I accidentally discovered that Joey sneaked into Brother Luo's room. At first I thought she just wanted to find Brother Luo, but then I realized something was wrong. When I followed her, I heard that she seemed to be looking for something in Brother Luo's room."

"Looking for something? But, she just came back. What things would be placed in the captain's room?" Xiaochan couldn't figure it out: "If it was her thing, she could just ask the captain directly, but if it wasn't, then... Steal, since you want to steal, it must be something important."

"I think so too." It's not like Xue hasn't thought about it in the past two days: "By the way, Shaohua also gave her a ceramic bottle. I don't know what's in it, but I think it's better to take more precautions."

"Yeah, I'll keep an eye on it too."

After the Heart Pirates arrive on the island, there is always a period of time when they are free to disband. Somewhere on the island, in a very remote place, Joey and Shaohua were respectfully saluting a man.

"Have you found it?" The man played with the thumb ring: "I don't really want you to take risks with the Heart Pirates. My patience is limited."

"Yes, Lord Nzola, but Trafalgarro hid the Heart of the Ocean very deep. I went to his room to look for it, but couldn't find it." Joey said with some trepidation: "Please give me more Let’s take some time, I promise, to deliver the Heart of the Ocean to the adults.”

"Qiaoqiao, I still have confidence in you, but didn't the trick last time work?" Nzola said playfully, the speed of these chess pieces was so slow that he was impatient to wait.

Seeing Joey's nervous expression, Shaohua took over the conversation for her: "That's it, the original plan was foolproof, but I didn't expect that there was a woman beside Trafalgar, and her existence disrupted the entire plan. "

"Really? So it's not foolproof. Isn't she the one who made the mistake?" Enzola's reproachful tone weighed on the two of them like a heavy stone: "There is not much time left for you. If you can't finish it, Mission, the parasitic poison on you cannot be untied."

"Yes."

After leaving the depressing place, Joey said to Shaohua: "We have no time, let's use this method. Originally, I thought that after gaining the trust of Trafalgar Law, I would be able to find an opportunity to take action. But I didn't expect , it’s difficult for him to trust us now.”

"Now that you've decided, let's do it."

Xue had returned to the boat and took out the Heart of the Ocean from the bottom of the box. It was still spotless. Xue just looked at it: "I really don't understand, who are you? How come you are still the same even though you have tried everything? No response?"

"If the Elf King hadn't said that this is the most precious treasure of the Siren Clan, I would have treated it as an ordinary gem." Xiao Chan also said the same, and took the one carved by Xue before: " Look, there’s no difference. If you put them together, you can’t tell which one is the real Heart of the Ocean.”

"Yes, but the real Heart of the Ocean has some flaws. The one I made is perfect. You said this thing, except for what Brother Luo said, there has been no big movement in all these years. At the time, it was in Anlisti Ya, there are many people who want to get it."

Xiaochan spread her hands and said: "I got it, but it's useless if I can't unlock the power."

"You're right. Brother Luo hasn't come back yet. It's better to wait until he comes back and I will study with him." It was still early, so Xue put away the Heart of the Ocean and walked along the coastline alone. The Polar Diver docked on the shore was no longer visible.
