Daily life as a writer in the world of pirates

Flames and smoke collided on this street, forming a vacuum zone with a radius of more than 20 meters with Ace and Smoke as the center. Luffy and everyone are at this end, and the marines are at the other end.

The battle scene was extremely fierce and lively. In fact, no one beat anyone. Maruko decisively pulled Luffy and retreated.

Luffy relied on Maruko's presence, and even when retreating, he ran backwards with great peace of mind, staring in Ace's direction without blinking.

"As expected of Ace, he is still so awesome!" Luffy sighed loudly.

After hearing this, Zoro asked curiously: "Have you always known him?"

Luffy nodded: "Ace went to sea three years before me. Before we went to sea, we grew up together!"

"It's unimaginable that you are brothers with that guy." Zoro couldn't help but sigh, "Portcas D. Ace - the captain of the second team of the Whitebeard Pirates, is a very famous bounty hunter. people."

Luffy didn't care much about these false names, but Maruko was still quite interested in them and asked, "Tell me more?"

"There are a total of 1,600 people under the main ship of the Whitebeard Pirates, led by 16 captains. It is said that the smaller the number of these captains, the stronger their strength or ability! Especially the top five captains, each one is With the strength of King Shichibukai, he can even rival the three generals of the navy."

"In addition to the main ship, the Whitebeard Pirates also have hundreds of vassal pirate groups, large and small, with tens of thousands of members. Whether it is the overall strength of the pirate group or Whitebeard's personal strength, they can be said to be the strongest on the sea today. After all, Zoro has been a bounty hunter for a while and knows all about the world's famous pirates.

"I see, that means Ace can beat Crocodile?" Maruko guessed.

Luffy suddenly turned his head very sensitively and emphasized loudly: "I am Crocodile's opponent!"

Wanzi smiled helplessly: "Okay, okay, I'm just giving you an example."

Wanzi suddenly asked casually: "How is the strength of the second brother Sabo you mentioned before?"

Luffy curled his lips and replied in a low voice: "He is almost the same as Ace. I couldn't beat him when I was a kid anyway."

The way Luffy pouted and muttered was so cute! This guy usually doesn't care about anything, but he still has a lot of self-esteem when it comes to fighting. Wanzi can't laugh freely, so he can only suppress the corners of his raised lips.

Maruko quickly changed the subject to Zoro: "Then have you ever heard of Marshall D. Teach, the man known as Blackbeard who defected from the Whitebeard Pirates?"

Zoro shook his head: "We will pay special attention to the bounty orders of the Whitebeard Pirates, even if some of them are not captains. But to be honest, before Blackbeard defected, we almost didn't know about this person's existence."

"Lying on the firewood and tasting the courage, killing with one blow, this is contemporary Goujian!" Wanzi said softly to himself.

"What?" Maruko spoke so quietly that Zoro didn't hear him clearly.

Wanzi shook his head: "It's nothing." But he completely kept this person in his heart.

Although it was an assassination, he was able to quietly kill the captain of the fourth team and safely evacuate from the Whitebeard Pirates. The strength of this person should not be underestimated. In this world, people who are strong on the surface are not scary, but those who are powerful and capable, and who can do evil behind the scenes, are the ones to be afraid of.

Everyone has been pirates for a long time, and if nothing else, their running speed is still very impressive. It didn't take long for them to leave the Rapeseed Flower Market. Under the leadership of Wanzi and Eyelashes, they set off from the land and prepared to go to Catrea.

Luffy looked at the increasingly unfamiliar road and asked doubtfully, "Aren't we going back to the Merry?"

Weiwei shook her head, broke a branch from the roadside, drew a picture on the ground, and explained it to Luffy and everyone.

Weiwei first drew a rectangle on the ground: "The lower left corner, upper left corner, upper right corner, and lower right corner of the rectangle represent the four cities of Yuba, the oasis, Rainland, the gambling city, Albana, the capital, and Catrea respectively."

Then, Weiwei drew a dot next to Catrea: "This is where we are now - the Rapeseed Flower Market."

Then, Weiwei divided the rectangle into two parts from the middle: "This is the inland river of Alabasta. If we are going to Yuba, it is best to walk along the inland river for a while, and then cross the desert to the left. . But now to go to Catrea, just go right from here, and we expect to arrive there tonight."

Luffy asked: "Where is Crocodile?"

"In the rain." Although Weiwei was a little confused, she patiently answered Luffy.

Luffy suddenly stopped and stood there: "I'm not going, I'm not going to Catrea."

Sanji turned around: "Luffy, what are you talking about? Aren't we going to help Vivi persuade the rebels?"

Nami put her hands on her hips: "We've come this far, why do you suddenly say this?"

Luffy: "My opponent is Crocodile, I want to find Crocodile!"

Nami tried her best to explain to Luffy: "It's the rebels who are causing the rebellion now, so as long as Vivi can persuade the rebels, the rebellion will be resolved. In this case, we don't need to face Crocodile at all!"

Luffy still insisted: "I want to find Crocodile!"

Usopp also helped persuade: "Hey, Luffy, don't be impulsive! That guy is the Shichibukai. Let's just accompany Vivi to Catrea."

Luffy suddenly looked at Vivi: "Didn't you say that everything was caused by Crocodile?"

"I know, but" Weiwei bit her lower lip, her tone uncertain, "We can convince the rebels first, and then go to Crocodile together. This way everyone will be much safer."

Luffy shook his head: "I don't know anything about persuasion, and there are half a million rebels, and there are only eight of us. Even if we defeat them, it's impossible. So, I just do what I can do. Just defeat Crocodile."

Weiwei shook her head crazily: "But Crocodile is very powerful, and the senior agents are all Devil Fruit users, so there is no need for you."

"No, it's necessary." Maruko said, "Luffy is right, I'm going to Rainland too!"

Usopp: "Maruko-why are you too?"

Maruko: "The root cause of the resentment among the people and the growing number of rebels is the lack of water. The water shortage has threatened the lives of the people. At this time, it was revealed that the cause of all this was the king's use of dancing powder! So everyone lost faith in the king and the country started a civil war."

"Even if you are sure to convince the leader of the rebel army, but Weiwei, are you sure to convince the 500,000 people who follow him?" Wanzi looked directly at Weiwei with a firm gaze, "If the root cause is not completely solved, the war will continue to happen. , and the rebound may even become more intense due to excessive restraint.”

"And we all know that the root cause is Crocodile. Therefore, what we want to solve is not the rebel army, but the Shichibukai Crocodile!"

If it weren't for Luffy's insistence, Maruko almost fell into a misunderstanding. Should he be said to be worthy of being a captain? The decision-making at critical moments is very reliable.

"I understand, and I also support going to the Rain Land." Sauron responded. He was very much looking forward to a duel with Crocodile or his strong men.

Weiwei: "But, everyone, I"

Luffy looked at Weiwei: "Weiwei, these are your people, so you don't want them to get hurt; we are your partners, and you don't want us to get hurt; but this world cannot all be left to your will." develop."

Wanzi squatted down and held up the sand at his feet: "This is a problem that Alabasta has been facing for more than 800 years. It is about how one million people will survive in the future. Any great change will be accompanied by bloodshed. Weiwei, you have to make a choice!"

Weiwei felt huge pressure on her face. When she left the country, she thought that all she had to do was find the boss behind the scenes. But after she found the real murderer, she just wanted to bring the news back to the country safely. Now that she finally came back, she thought She persuaded all the rebels to surrender, did not want her friends to be injured, and hoped that Crocodile could be defeated. She really wanted too much.

Weiwei burst into tears unconsciously: "Is there really no way to keep everyone safe?"

Wanzi smiled and said: "Yes! Block the lives of all of us, we will deal with Crocodile, and you can persuade the rebels!"

Weiwei suddenly looked up and saw everyone standing in front of her, either laughing brightly, smiling with curled lips, feeling uneasy, or looking forward to it, but with no fear or complaints at all!

"Everyone-" Weiwei suddenly covered her mouth with force, trying desperately to control her choking.

Sanji threw away the cigarette butt: "Anyway, I won't forgive anyone who makes a beautiful lady cry."

Nami: "I just want to try a new weapon."

Usopp: "I am the great sea warrior, Lord Usopp ha-ha-ha."

Sauron: "Only the boundary between life and death can we break through faster!"

Chopper: "I also want to be with everyone."

Luffy: "To be honest, I'm looking forward to fighting Crocodile."

Maruko: “No matter what experience I have, I’m interested in it.”

Maruko looked around: "Now that everyone has reached an agreement, let's formulate a strategy."

"First of all, Crocodile has been planning for so long just to make the king lose the support of the people and replace him. So the key to closing the net lies in the battle between the king's army and the rebel army. No matter whether he wins or loses, the result is that both sides will be hurt, and the king will lose the support of the people. , he can ascend to the throne smoothly."

"Weiwei goes to Catrea as planned, at least to persuade the rebel leader to surrender. The key is to delay. It must be delayed until the battle between Luffy and Crocodile is over, and a large-scale battle must not break out."

"But with the friendship between Vivi and the leader, Crocodile will not be unprepared, so there should be a large number of people from Baroque Studio ambushing outside Catrea at this time. Except for me and Luffy, everyone else must be with Vivi Go, the goal is to ensure that Weiwei enters Catrea smoothly. If not, just pretend I didn’t say anything."

"As for Luffy, just go to the Rain Land to find Crocodile according to your own ideas. Luffy and I will help him find the way. By the way, I also need to find someone there."

"If you go to the Rain Land, please add me." Ace's voice sounded from behind everyone, "I also want to go to Yuba to find someone, so it's a little side trip."

Wanzi glanced at Ace inexplicably and whispered: "Even if you don't go, I will drag you there."

"Ninjutsu Wood Release - Wood Branch | Body Technique."

Wanzi directly used half of the chakra to create a clone to follow Weiwei and everyone: "It's more convenient for me and the clone to send messages. If you need to send any news, just tell the clone directly. But just in case." First, chakra is used to convey messages, and the avatar will not easily participate in the battle."
