Daily life as a writer in the world of pirates

Although it was windy and snowy outside, it was very warm inside the house. Nami was lying weakly on the bed, with weak consciousness. Only her heavy breathing still showed her vitality.

Maruko, Luffy, Sanji and Dalton stood outside the door and discussed quietly.

Wanzi: "I heard that the medical treatment here is relatively developed? Where is the best doctor around here?"

Dalton sighed: "That happened before."

"Once upon a time, Drum Island was also the most advanced medical place on the Great Line, and it was a holy place in the hearts of doctors from all over the world." Dalton's eyes were filled with nostalgia, but his mouth changed the subject, "But when Wapole succeeded to the throne, Later, in order to better control the people, he kept the 20 most skilled doctors as his personal medical team, and all other doctors were expelled from the country."

Sanji subconsciously wanted to get a cigarette, but found that it was too cold now, so he retracted his hand: "Then how can we invite a medical team? We can pay any price!"

Dalton shook his head: "A week ago, a group of pirates attacked this country, and the king fled to the sea with his men, including the doctors."

Sanji: "Ah - so you are against pirates"

Luffy put his hands behind his head: "Then there are no other doctors here?"

Dalton: "Yes, her name is Kuleha, but everyone calls her more - the witch."

"Witch?"

Dalton nodded: "Her medical skills are very superb. Compared with going to the king's medical team and going bankrupt, there is at least a glimmer of hope to go to her. But her temper is very weird. She usually takes away the one thing that the patient values ​​most, and she also That’s why she’s called a witch.”

Maruko clenched her right fist and placed it in the palm of her left hand: "Then let's go find a witch for treatment, Luffy!"

Luffy laughed and nodded, "Sounds like an interesting guy."

Sanji hurriedly asked: "Where does that witch live?"

Dalton looked past the three of them and looked up at the drum-like pillar in the center of the island: "That is her residence. It is said that she lives there with a creature that no one has ever seen."

Wanzi and others looked along Dalton's line of sight. Those drum-like pillars were formed by the accumulation of ice and snow day after day. They were hundreds of feet high, especially the middle pillar. Even if it was so far away From a distance, they are all taller than the others.

"She lives in such a high place?" Wanzi opened his mouth in surprise, but took a sip of cold wind and quickly closed it.

Dalton nodded: "It used to be the king's castle, but now it's been commandeered by the witch."

Wanzi: "Then how does she usually come down?"

Dalton pointed to the iron chains connected outside the village: "These iron chains connect the castle. Before, Valpo used the cable car on the iron chains to go up and down the mountain. However, no one maintained this after the king left. I'm afraid it can't be used now." It needs to be repaired at least."

Weiwei hurried out with a thermometer: "Nami-san's temperature has risen again, it's now 425 degrees!"

Luffy clenched his fists and hit each other in front of his chest: "Now that the doctor's location is known, let's set off."

Sanji turned his ankle and said seriously: "Oh!"

"Wait." Maruko pulled Sanji, "You and Weiwei stay here, I'll go."

Sanji shook his head: "There is no other way. Luffy and I can only take Nami to climb that mountain. Let men do this kind of physical work."

Wanzi smiled and said, "That's why I decided to let me go."

Maruko: "I can use chakra to attach to the iron chain, which is no different from walking on flat ground. This is much easier than climbing a mountain, and Nami is not susceptible to bumps."

After saying that, Maruko turned to ask Luffy: "In order to save chakra just in case, you can only rely on yourself to walk on the chain this time. Is that okay, Luffy?"

"Of course!"

Sanji nodded helplessly. What Maruko said made sense, and he was not trying to show off.

"Then let's go?" Maruko carried Nami on his back, and stood outside the village with Luffy. In front of them was the iron chain leading to the Drum Castle.

Weiwei stepped forward worriedly and tied Nami tighter: "Everyone must pay attention to safety!"

Sanji also put his gloves in Luffy's pocket: "Remember, never let your hands come into direct contact with the chains at any time!"

Luffy: "Why?"

Sanji: "Because the temperature there can freeze your hands to the chains, you idiot!"

"Oh - I know -" Luffy responded obediently in a long tone.

Maruko and Luffy said no more, looked at each other, and stepped onto the chain together.

The first quarter was less than twenty meters above the highest point on the ground, so Wanzi and Lu flew by quite easily.

Luffy's balance is good, and he can easily maintain his balance on the swinging chains even without chakra; in fact, even Maruko can do without chakra, but after all, if she falls now, she will lose two lives. So Wanzi still engraved the word "Gou" on his soul.

Walking on a chain is better than climbing a vertical mountain, but in fact it is only "a little better".

Once a quarter of the way up the slope becomes steeper. Luffy also changed from walking normally to "crawling" using all four limbs, and finally to "swinging" on the chain with alternating hands.

The ball attached to the iron chain with chakra was not very easy either. The support of the middle section of the iron chain was insufficient, and the entire iron chain kept swaying in the strong wind and snow. Due to the shaking, wind and snow fell from time to time on the chain, and new snow fell. Maruko had to use all her strength to control the chakra under her feet so that she would not miss the mark.

Moreover, as the chain shakes, Wanzi must adjust his own gravity at any time and at any time, which is more difficult than simply walking a tightrope. This section has also become the section where Maruko consumes the most chakra.

"Maruko, be careful!" Luffy shouted, which attracted Maruko's attention.

Wanzi looked around and saw a huge flying bird rushing out from her side. The bird's mouth was like a sharp sword aimed at Wanzi's heart, less than ten meters away from her heart.

Maruko was shocked and suddenly held Nami up and took two steps back. The flying bird flew into the air, but did not give up. Instead, it turned its head and flew towards the ball again, but this time, Luffy had already rushed back.

"Gumo Gumodo—hand|gun!" Luffy also aimed at Asuka's chest and punched him hard.

Luffy crossed his hands and wondered: "Why does it feel like the power of the hand|gun has become less powerful?"

Wanzi: "Rubber can't stretch too long when it's cold, otherwise it will break easily, you know? Most of your tricks use the elasticity of the rubber to increase its power. If it can't stretch too long, the elasticity is naturally not enough."

Although the devil fruits in this world can make people instantly stronger, the restraint relationship between the fruits is still very clear. For example, Luffy's rubber fruit is not afraid of guns/cannons or lightning, but its tolerance to cold and high temperatures is completely insufficient.

"Wait, that bird is here again!" Wanzi cursed and backed away quickly.

Luffy stepped forward and hit Asuka with a critical blow. Since the quality was not enough, let's make up for it with quantity.

"This bird's feathers are too hard!" Luffy complained dissatisfiedly.

Luffy's fist collided with the feathers of the flying bird, and it made a sound of hitting steel. He could only knock the bird away, but he couldn't hurt its muscles and bones at all. The bird was also persistent. After being knocked away, it would fly back again soon. It seemed that it was angry with Luffy.

The sky is the territory of birds, but Luffy only has an iron chain to support him. It is difficult to determine the winner of this battle for a while.

Wanzi looked up and saw that there was only the last quarter of the distance to the castle on the top of the mountain, almost a hundred meters away. Let's fight!

Maruko: "Luffy, get rid of it, let's go straight to the top in one go."

Luffy unexpectedly became serious: "Maruko-chan, you go first, I'm going to beat this guy away!"

Wanzi held his forehead helplessly, stretched out one hand to pull up Luffy and ran away: "When you wait until the top of the mountain, you can fight however you want!"

Now everyone is hundreds of meters in the air. No matter whether he wins or loses, Luffy has definitely exhausted all his strength. When the time comes, he will be fine if he falls from the height. He will be fine if he is buried in the snow for a long time without being discovered!

Anyway, there was only the last 100 meters left. Maruko directly held hands and transferred the chakra to Luffy's feet. He used his own energy to run 800 meters and ran to the top of the mountain risking his life.

The bird and Luffy were fighting vigorously, but found that their opponent had run several meters away in the blink of an eye, and immediately spread their wings and chased forward with red eyes.

It chases, she flees, and they are unable to fly.

In the end, I don't know whether it was Maruko dragging Luffy, or Luffy dragging Maruko, or maybe Asuka dragged the two of them, and they panted to the top of the mountain together.

"Jie——" Feiniao stood on the castle gate and shouted condescendingly.

"Babai, you're back, lunch is ready," a cute creature with a small basin and a pink hat said as he walked to the gate of the castle.

"tanuki?" Luffy tilted his head.

"Cat?" Wanzi tilted his head.

"It's not a civet cat, it's a reindeer!" The cute brown creature retorted loudly, and only then realized something was wrong.

"Ahhhhhh-Doctor Dori, there is a stranger coming here!!" The brown cat suddenly threw away the food bowl and ran back to the castle with a scream.

Luffy held his stomach and laughed: "That guy is so funny!"

"That's right!" Wanzi nodded sharply, "Not only is it interesting, it's also cute, hehehe!"

Maruko patted the snow on his body and stretched out his hand to Luffy who was still lying on the ground: "Let's go to Dr. Neko Kuleha."

Climbing up the chain, Maruko only consumed chakra and mental energy, but Luffy, hanging on the chain and fighting with birds, was really exhausted.

Luffy grabbed Maruko's hand, used the strength to stand up, and walked into the castle gate with Maruko.

At the same time, outside Ciggu Island, a huge steel ship also appeared in the nearby waters.

"Report to the captain, no, King Wapol, we are finally returning to Drum Island!"

Wapol: "Bang bang bang - being a pirate is not fun at all, it is more comfortable to be a king, haha. Listen to my order - move forward at full speed, target Drum Island!"
