Daily life as a writer in the world of pirates

A secret iron rope on Cigu Island

A huge cable car hangs below the iron lock. At this time, the cable car is rising to the middle of the iron lock.

Looking from the outside, the windows of the cable car were covered with heavy snow, making it almost difficult to see anything inside.

In the cable car, Usopp clung to Zoro, his whole body shivering from the cold.

Usopp: "It's so cold~ Why is this cable car so slow?"

Sauron actually felt a bit cold, but he thought that this scene was a good opportunity to practice his willpower. So instead of hugging himself to keep warm, Zoro stood upright in the middle of the cable car, trying to resist the cold with his own will.

Ten minutes have passed...

Usopp was already on Zoro's back, and the snot left by Usopp turned into an ice pick hanging on his nose: "Hey, Zoro, do you think this cable car is not moving?"

Sauron's cold teeth chattered: "No...I don't know!"

Usopp: "How about we go take a look?"

Zoro nodded and used all his strength to push open the door that was about to be frozen shut.

In an instant, the howling cold wind rushed in from the crack of the open door. Zoro closed the door immediately with a "swipe".

Usopp: "How is it...how is it?"

Zoro answered affirmatively: "It's moving, we're already halfway up."

Usopp: "Oh - that's good."

Ten minutes passed again...

Usopp not only clung to Zoro's back, but also hugged Zoro with his hands and feet. His whole body looked like a large koala, and Zoro was the tree.

Zoro was still standing upright and upright, but if you looked closely, you could see that his limbs and teeth were trembling quietly.

Usopp: "This cable car is so slow. Haven't we arrived yet?"

Zoro: "I don't know."

Usopp: "Why don't you go and see it again?"

Zoro nodded and used all his strength to push open the door that was even more tightly blocked by snow. The cold wind, which was even more irritating than before, instantly penetrated his skin along the collar of his clothes.

Zoro closed the door with a click.

"Should... move, we are already halfway up!" Zoro answered uncertainly.

Usopp felt that his head was about to freeze: "Oh──ah? It was half way just now, and it's still half way now. We haven't moved at all! This cable car can't be broken, right?"

Usopp hugged Zoro's thigh in despair: "What should we do? We can't go up or come down. Are we going to freeze to death?"

Zoro thought for a long time: "Why don't you exercise! If you exercise, your body will warm up."

Usopp: "Then what?"

Zoro: "Then you won't freeze to death."

Usopp: "Then we have to keep exercising?"

Zoro: "Maybe... Luffy will find us..."

Inside Drum Castle.

Luffy's proposal was quickly highly appreciated, led by Maruko, and everyone began to split up.

The room Nami stayed in happened to be Chopper's room, and the small bags he usually carried were hung on the bedside. Nami and Weiwei randomly picked a red backpack from it and put everything on the table that they felt they could use.

Sanji and Luffy acted together to find Chopper, who was currently on the roof of the castle, talking to Shiruluk's pirate flag.

Wanzi, on the other hand, was walking around the castle corridor with his sleeves on his sleeves, but in fact he was letting everyone know what he was feeling.

roof.

Sanji took a puff of his cigarette and felt a little uneasy about his conscience: "Can we just take him away like this?"

Luffy said nonchalantly: "He has already agreed to be our partner, why not?"

Sanji: "No, I mean, do you want to say hello to Ms. Kureha?"

There was obvious rejection on Luffy's face: "No way...she is so fierce! Otherwise, we will ask Chopper again?"

Luffy walked directly to Chopper: "Hey, we are going to take you out to sea, is that okay?"

Chopper's face was filled with questions.

Luffy: "You are our partner, right!"

Chopper nodded.

Luffy: "If you are a partner, you will go to sea with us, right?"

Chopper nodded again.

"Look at Sanji, he agreed!" Luffy proudly put his hands on his hips and turned to Chopper and said, "We are getting ready to go to sea now, so let's go together! Because Vivi is the princess of Alabasta, and she wants to Go back and beat up those rebels."

Sanji looked at Chopper's confused and nodding expression, and felt that something was not right.

Suddenly, Maruko's words came directly to everyone's mind: "Everyone, run, Dr. Kuleha is coming with a weapon!"

Luffy immediately picked up Chopper and jumped directly from the roof to the castle: "Doctor Kureha is coming, let's run, run!"

Sanji also quickly jumped up and caught up with Luffy's speed: "Hurry and take the cable car, we will go down the mountain immediately!"

Wanzi pulled Nami and Weiwei to gather with everyone in front of the castle. Kuleha was throwing an ax about ten meters behind them.

Kuleha: "You brats, how dare you kidnap my best assistant while I'm not paying attention!"

Luffy yelled: "Everyone, get on the cable car!"

Chopper couldn't help but become nervous: "No, if we all get on the cable car, no one will bring the cable car back, and Doctor Dori and everyone else won't be able to get off!"

Chopper quickly transformed into a reindeer form, and ran towards the castle first as a deer: "Everyone, follow me, there is a chain here to go down the mountain!"

Chopper took out a sled from the small door behind the castle and put the sled on himself: "Everyone, come up quickly. There are two iron chains here. I will pull everyone down!"

Dr. Kuleha got closer and closer, and his ax became more and more accurate, wiping everyone's hair several times.

Several people had difficulty moving in the snow and climbed onto the sled. When Luffy was the last one to sit down, Chopper immediately moved his limbs, accurately found the two iron chains in the heavy snow, and slid down the iron ropes. .

After Chopper and the others disappeared outside the castle, Kuleha immediately turned around and raised her head, hiding the tears that were about to burst out of her eyes: "They are all idiots!"

"Be sure to stay safe, Chopper."

Kuleha's voice disappeared into the wind and snow without letting anyone hear it. When she looked up again, she was still the 139-year-old beauty with an eccentric temper and superb medical skills.

Kuleha was rude to the guards who had their jaws dropped along the way: "Why are you standing there! Now that you are in my territory, come over and help me work! Move all these big cannons to the roof. Move quickly."

On the ropeway.

Luffy shifted restlessly in his chair.

Wanzi asked curiously: "What's wrong with you?"

"I don't know, something doesn't feel right..." Luffy looked confused.

Maruko looked over carefully and suddenly saw a different blue suspender under Luffy's blue shorts.

Maruko: "There seems to be something under your seat?"

Luffy dug around for a while and took out a small blue backpack: "Whose thing is this? Did you pack it, Nami?"

Nami pointed to the backpack she was holding: "No!"

Luffy stretched out his hand, handed the backpack to Chopper and asked loudly: "Hey - Chopper, is this yours?"

"This... this is my tool kit. It must have been given to me by Doctor Dori. I... I thought she didn't want me to go to sea. Wuwu - Dori Dori -" Chopper suddenly felt This time he was really leaving Doctor Dolly, and tears flowed down uncontrollably, and his choking gradually turned into loud crying.

Maruko winked at Luffy: How about you comfort me?

Luffy: You said the snow is a bit heavy?

The two of them were making direct eye contact when the sled underneath them suddenly started to rise and fall violently. Everyone quickly held the hands of those around them to avoid being ejected.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?" Sanji immediately hugged Nami with his left hand and held onto Vivi with his right hand, looking panicked.

Chopper braked suddenly and looked around anxiously.

Wanzi also let go of his senses to check if someone was attacking.

After three seconds of silence, Wanzi's head was covered with black lines.

Maruko: "I don't know if you believe it or not, but... Zoro and Usopp are at our feet now."

Sanji: "What!"

Luffy was super happy and shouted to those nearby: "Zoron - Usopp - are you here too?"

Under the ropeway, Usopp, who was almost frozen into a popsicle: "Hey, Zoro, I... I may not be able to survive. I have already hallucinated Luffy's voice. I heard that people will recall themselves before they die. The most impressive thing in my life, I didn’t expect that the one who impressed me the most was Luffy.”

Zoro also crossed his arms and rubbed them hard: "So that's it - it seems that what I remember the most is the same as yours. I seem to have heard Luffy's voice."

Usopp sniffed hard: "Although I still have a lot of regrets, but... I am very happy to go to sea with everyone, but I have not yet become a brave sea warrior, and I have not yet met my father, and Keya..."

Zoro stood up suddenly, and Usopp who was hanging on him also stood up: "No, I haven't become the world's greatest swordsman, how can I die in a place like this!"

Usopp answered with tears in his eyes: "No, that's right! We have to hold on until Luffy and Maruko find us!"

But Zoro dragged Usopp to open the door of the cable car: "When Luffy finds out, we might as well save ourselves! I'll hang the scabbard on the chain and we'll slide down."

Usup: "Okay...okay!"

As soon as the two opened the door, an extra-long neck suddenly dropped from above their heads and shook, and finally Luffy and his two stopped less than one centimeter away from Zoro.

Luffy asked curiously: "So this is a cable car. Why are you here?"

Their eyes met, and the atmosphere was damn silent.

Zoro suddenly put the knife back: "We are exercising our willpower here, right, Usopp!"

Usopp reacted within three seconds and hurriedly followed. He tilted his eyes to one side and did not dare to look at Luffy: "Yes, yes, this cold wind in mid-air is the best training for a man. Don't look at me like this, I will too." We are working hard to become brave sea warriors!"

Luffy laughed loudly: "That's it, you guys are so awesome! I thought you were trapped here!"

Luffy: "We are getting ready to go to sea. Do you want to go together?"

Usup immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes."

After saying that, I felt that I was not reserved enough, so I immediately calmed down: "Ahem - the exercise of will is very fruitful, but Weiwei's matters are more important, let's go to sea quickly!"

Luffy nodded, stretched out his arms, wrapped one hand around the other, and led the two back to the sled on the ropeway.

Maruko handed him his straw hat, and Luffy put it on his head, with emotion on his face: "Ah - I didn't expect Zoro and Usopp to exercise their willpower here, it's really amazing -"

"Oh~~" Maruko, Sanji, Nami, and Weiwei said in unison, looking at the two people who tried their best to pretend as if nothing had happened with strange eyes of unknown meaning.

Chopper in front turned his head, his eyes turned into super bright star eyes: "How amazing, Zoro and Usopp!"

Usopp was shocked: "What? He, he, he...he spoke?"

Luffy laughed: "Yes, this is our partner, the ship's doctor Tony Tony Chopper!"

"A super powerful doctor, he cured Nami-san!" Wanzi added loudly.

Chopper's back was turned to everyone, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly, but his hooves running forward were obviously more cheerful.

Everyone kept running straight towards the Meili at the pier!
