One Piece Road Fei's sister

Chapter 126 The strange old man

At this time, Usopp saw the excited Luffy looking ahead blankly, and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Luffy."

Luffy pointed to the bamboo not far ahead and said, "Usopp, there are two bamboos over there, right?"

"Yeah." Usopp responded.

The two walked to the two bamboos and took a look. Usopp was surprised: "Wow, you can't see the ends! How come they are so long!"

"Look carefully at this bamboo," Luffy said.

Usopp looked closer in confusion, but the bamboo suddenly ran to his left, and Usopp was severely startled.

The frightened Usopp fell to the ground and said in surprise: "Run away."

Luffy opened his mouth wide and said in surprise: "This must be some kind of long animal." As soon as Luffy finished speaking, another long bamboo rushed towards him, and he was hit by the bamboo before he could react.

Usopp, who discovered the bamboo behind him in time and ran to the side to avoid it, hugged his head and yelled: "Luffy was attacked by a bamboo. Hey, are you okay?"

After being hit, Luffy rolled backwards several times and finally stopped.He straightened the straw hat on his head, stood up and said angrily: "How could I lose to Bamboo?" After saying that, Luffy rushed forward.

"Be careful! Luffy." Usopp shouted worriedly.

"Rubber-whip." One of the two long bamboos was kicked from the middle by Luffy.

Usopp jumped up and cheered: "Awesome, we won."

Luffy, who landed from the sky, also cheered: "Kicked it off."

As for Chopper, he completely ignored the situation on Luffy's side and asked the white horse named Sherrie, "Where is your master?"

Xueli answered him honestly, and Chopper frowned and said, "You don't know either? You seem to be very lonely!" Xueli closed her eyes sadly.

At this time, there was a huge crash not far away from them, and smoke and dust rose up and quickly spread around.

Chopper quickly ran over to take a look, and before leaving, he told Xue Li: "Maybe it's an enemy, so just hide there!"

After Chopper ran up to the smoke, Luffy and Usopp looked surprised and asked quickly: "What's wrong?"

Luffy was stunned and said, "How do you say this? After breaking the bamboo, the elf appeared." On the ground between him and Usopp, there was an injured old man gasping for breath uncomfortably.

At this time, two explosions came from behind Tongyu and the others who had just disembarked.

Several people looked back and saw a huge ship behind the Melly, with two huge claws connected to iron chains extending from both sides of the bow.Two claws grabbed the shore on both sides of the Melly, trapping the Melly.

Regarding this sudden scene, Sanji was shocked and said: "The way to the ship is blocked."

Nami's eyes were full of worry, "What does that ship want to do?"

Seeing the ship in front of him, Robin remembered what happened just now and thought to himself: This ship is the one just now.

Zoro asked with a gloomy face: "What do you want to do?"

Sanji's expression was similar to Zoro's, and he asked in a low voice: "If you want to fight, come down."

Tong Yu said: "Don't worry, let's see what they want to do first?"

In front of a few people was a pirate ship several times larger than the Merry. The bow was the head of a white fox. The front sail of the ship was black, with a figure with fox ears and red rosacea painted on it. skull.

A man's voice came from the ship, "We are the Foxy Pirates, don't be impatient, we want to fight you."

And Luffy here.

Hearing Luffy's words, Chopper was very puzzled, "Elf?"

"Didn't I say it? If you break the bamboo, this elf will appear." Luffy squatted next to the old man and said.

Looking at the silent old man, Usopp said: "Hey, please say something."

The old man sat up, surprising Usopp and Chopper.The old man said directly: "Of course I remember you. It's been a long time since we saw you. Are you okay?"

"Hey, do any of you know him?" Usopp asked doubtfully.

"I don't know him," Luffy replied.

"I...I don't know him either."

After Chopper finished speaking, the old man suddenly said, "Ah, no wonder he looked like he had never seen me before."

Hearing this, Usopp roared: "What, are you just talking? Who are you? Old man."

The old man stood up and said, "My name is Dongjit. Anyway, thank you in advance for getting me off the stilts."

"Stilts?" Usopp looked at the bamboo in confusion, and there was indeed a protruding bracket on it.

"Ah, it's true." Luffy also saw the bracket, turned around and said to the old man with an exaggerated gesture, "But these stilts are so high that you can't even see the top."

"Yes, I'm at the top." The old man confirmed.

Luffy was a little disappointed and said: "What? It turns out it's not the elf that ran out after cutting the bamboo, but the old man who fell off after cutting the stilts!" After that, Luffy asked: "Why are you in such a long state?" On stilts?"

The old man turned around and said, "Because I have always liked walking on stilts, I used the long bamboo on this island to make stilts to challenge the world's longest stilt record. But although I successfully stepped on it, I couldn't get down because of fear of heights."

"Old man, are you an idiot?" Luffy couldn't help complaining.

The old man ignored Luffy's complaints and continued, "Then he stayed on stilts for ten years."

Luffy's expression became even more surprised when he heard this, "You must be a big idiot."

Usopp was also surprised, his eyes bulging out, "You've been on stilts for ten years!!!"

"That's right, and the bamboos are still growing during this period, so I'm getting more and more afraid to come down." After saying that, the old man's expression became frightened, "Oh! It's really scary."

Usopp yelled in surprise: "Is this the only thing I've said over the past ten years?"

"However, because there are many trees as tall as stilts on this island, we can finally make a living on fruits." The old man's tone seemed to be talking about other people's affairs.

"It's so easy to tell! Why do I think it should be a long story?" Usopp couldn't help but exclaimed at the old man's flat tone.

"Speaking of length! Old man, why are everything on this island so long?" Luffy asked.

The old man crossed his chest and said, "There is a reason why people from outside feel this way. This island is just like what people see, it is an endless prairie. In other words, because everyone is here Life on the island was so comfortable that it became longer.”

"That's awesome, hit the nail on the head." Luffy said with shame.

"For example, that one." The old man gestured to an animal with a long beak walking by, "The platypus."

Usopp yelled: "Isn't that just stretching it?"

"That's a short-legged hound." The old man pointed at the round, white-haired body moving in front of them.

Chopper said in surprise: "Hey, isn't this the dog just now?"

Usopp was also surprised, "I just saw the tail!"

"There are also ferocious beasts, so be careful! Look, that's a snow leopard, so don't get bitten." The old man pointed behind Usopp and said.

"Leopard!!" Usopp looked back in horror.

Not far behind him.A snow leopard with a very wide head showed its ferocity by baring its teeth and cracking its mouth.

Usopp was speechless and said: "Why is that guy the only one who grows sideways?"

At this time, a strange man was in the bushes not far away, looking at Luffy and the others through binoculars. The man smiled evilly and said, "I found you, is that the captain?"

"Come and sit at my house. You are kind to me, and I will treat you well." The old man said.

"Great, we can eat." Luffy cheered.

The three of them walked into the old man's house, which was the private house they first discovered.

The old man looked at the surrounding furnishings and sighed: "I really miss my home! People in this village often give milk from livestock to entertain guests."

"Village? Where is the village?" Luffy asked confused.

"There are no domestic animals either." Chopper was also confused.

"What do you mean, nothing?" When the old man came out and saw it, his face was full of shock and he said in panic, "Ah! Why is the village gone? There are also no livestock."

Usopp folded his arms helplessly and said, "You just discovered it! Just ten years later, why did the village disappear?"

After being disappointed, the old man re-entered his house and said, "Let's talk about this slowly! Let me treat you well first! There should be some milk at home." As he said this, the old man opened a pot.

"What do you mean by saving milk! Old man, you have been on stilts for ten years." Usopp reminded with shame.

Seeing the ball of "milk" that had been stinking for who knows how long in the pot, the old man handed the stinky "milk" ball to Luffy with sweat on his face, not daring to look into his eyes and said awkwardly, "I wonder if this cheese suits your taste?"

Usopp stepped forward and roared: "Don't divert your attention, this milk has been stored for ten years."

"Really? What a pity." The old man said pretending to know.

Several people sat around the table. The old man took a piece of soft "milk" and said, "In that case, you don't have to be polite. Just sit down wherever you want." After that, the old man fed the piece of "milk" to his own In the mouth.

Luffy asked: "Hey, old man, is this cheese edible?"

After saying that, Luffy also wanted to take a piece and eat it, but Usopp slapped his hand to stop him, "Don't come here."

"No problem, the cheese has only been stored for ten years. I am different from you. I am used to living freely on this island, and my stomach is much stronger than yours." The old man said while chewing the "milk", "Really, The health of young people today is really bad!”

Not long after he finished speaking, the old man rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, sweating profusely. He said weakly: "Call a doctor for me."

Usopp went over and roared: "Looking at how serious you are, it turns out you are an idiot!"

"Doctor, doctor." Chopper came over and shouted in a panic, then suddenly reacted and said, "I am."

Chopper immediately checked the blue-faced old man and said, "Food poisoning."

"Does that need to be said?" Usopp clenched his fists and roared speechlessly.

Luffy sat there and smiled: "Old man, you are so interesting."

"Nomad?" Chopper asked doubtfully.

The old man took Chopper's medicine, recovered a little, sat up and said, "Yes, we are nomads who are at home all over the world."

"That's why the village disappeared after only ten years!" Chopper understood.

"The name of this island is Long Chain Island, welcome to you." The old man said.

Luffy put away his playful expression, nodded seriously and said, "Ah! Thank you."

"The shape of the island was originally a chain, but due to the rising sea water, it was divided into ten small islands. However, there is a big low tide day every year. On that day, these islands will change back to their original shape within a few hours. It looks like an island. We targeted this day and moved from one island to another after three years." The old man explained.

"So, old man, are you abandoned by the villagers?" Usopp said.

"Ah ha ha ha, old man, I like you Shinji." Luffy laughed.

"If you move every three years and come back here in a circle, it will be 30 years later. Subtracting the time I spent on stilts, it means that it will take another 20 years before I can meet you." Usopp said seriously The calculation.

"You are right, it would be great if there was a Moa. In this way, as long as I move to the next island every year, I can catch up with everyone in five years." The old man said.

"Moa?" Chopper asked doubtfully.

"Yes, it is the most beautiful animal on the island." The old man recalled with a smile, "The way it ran on the grassland was so graceful. Without it, we would not be able to move from one island to another. It is very It’s strong and can carry large luggage. If I had to walk by myself, I would not be able to reach the next island due to the high tide.”

"Wouldn't it be better to take a boat?" Luffy said.

"None of us know how to navigate, and even if we use a compass, it won't point to the next island, because these ten islands are originally one island! I can just wait here for 20 years." The old man said helplessly.

Luffy frowned and said, "Is this okay? It will be very lonely."

At this time, Chopper suddenly remembered something and said, "Hey, is Moa a horse?"

Luffy reacted and smiled: "Ah! Yes! It's a horse! If it were a horse, there would be one!" The old man expressed doubts about what they said.

When he came outside the house, the old man saw Xueli and ran over excitedly and said, "Oh, Xueli, have you been waiting for me?"

The old man hugged Xueli's head and smiled and said: "Xueli, you are such a cute child. It's been a long time! Xueli. I haven't seen you for such a long time, but you have grown up again!" Luffy and the other two looked at each other with smiles. One person and one horse reunited.

The old man cried with joy and said: "You kid, it's so pitiful that you have been alone for so many years. Thank you! Thank you. We will never be separated again."

At this time, Xueli suddenly raised her front legs and screamed. Chopper smiled and said, "She wants me to ride on her!"

After that, the old man rode Xue Li on the grassland and ran wildly. Everyone and the horse were very happy.

Sitting on the grass and looking at the man and the horse, Usopp sighed: "It's amazing, that horse has been waiting here for the old man on stilts!"

"What a good boy." Luffy sighed, half lying on the lawn and looking at Shirley and the others.

"She must like me very much!" Chopper sighed.
