One Piece: The Magician

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;The last ray of light on the horizon slowly faded away, and night fell.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;At the eastern branch of Gaya Island, at Uncle Chestnut Head’s residence, the Straw Hats were having a banquet.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Perhaps because he met a group of pirates who had the same dreams as himself today, Wen Branculic felt particularly comfortable at this time.He was holding a sailing diary that his ancestor Rolando had passed down for many years, and was reciting the contents passionately.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"The sound of the bell spread throughout the earth and resounded through the sky. It seemed that the ancient capital of the past was boasting about its prosperity."

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;“The ancient civilization nurtured by the vast sea will ultimately be no match for the impermanence of life.”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;“We stood among the bells for a long time, and we couldn’t help feeling that things are unpredictable, life is like a dream, and time flies by.”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Luffy, the others, and the Sarusama brothers were eating grilled fish and listening to Kulik's reading, all with longing expressions on their faces.After Nami heard the description of the golden city of Shantara, she was even more excited and trembling. It seemed that this money-obsessed navigator was about to go bad.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;“The right eye of the skeleton is buried with gold. What does this mean? Is it a codeword?”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;“However, a city full of gold”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;After thinking about the spectacular scene of the Golden City for a while, Nami asked Couric anxiously: "Uncle, since gold exists, how much have you salvaged over the years? Gold”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;After listening, perhaps because he really believed that Luffy and his gang were not bad people, Couric showed off his gains over the years without hesitation, with a faint sense of accomplishment on his face. .

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;After Nami saw those golden gold castings, her eyes instantly transformed into two Pele symbols.It exudes a green light.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Hey, Nami. Your eyes are a little scary."

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Usopp was a little worried about this thieving cat with a long history, and whispered: "You don't want to get these gold ideas. Didn't Sherlock just get knocked out by you not long ago?" Pen?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Tsk, even if I steal, I'm stealing what I should steal. I won't touch the gold they worked so hard to salvage."

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Reluctantly putting down the miniature golden clock in his hand, the orange-haired navigator curled his lips: "And what do you mean by knocking one stroke? tylett;Billiberry is obviously Shylock's apology to me."

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;“But come back to that”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Nami looked around and said, "Sherlock is too slow. He hasn't come back yet and it's already dark. Robin, do you know what kind of person he met his old friend?"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp; Nico Robin took a sip of the fragrant coffee and shook his head: "I don't know. But judging from his appearance at the time, it seemed that he didn't really want me to meet his so-called old friend. ."

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;At this point, a look of worry flashed across Robin's beautiful cheeks. Now she felt more and more that there was something wrong with the friend Sherlock met at that time.However, in order not to worry the Straw Hats, this intellectual beauty did not express her psychological thoughts.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;“Isn’t that guy lost?”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;A certain green-haired swordsman drank all the wine in the cup in one gulp, with a malicious smile on his face.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Tsk, you are on your own, Mr. Lu Chi can't find the north."

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Ignoring Sauron's suddenly darkened face, the curly-browed cook blew out a smoke ring.He showed a confident expression that said, "There is only one truth, and I already know everything."

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"In my opinion, Sherlock is so good with women, and his old friend must be a beautiful lady whom he hasn't seen for a long time. I'm afraid the two of them are having a romance in a luxurious restaurant right now. Candlelight dinner, happy to miss Shu"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;The more he looked, the uglier his face became. In the end, he really couldn't accept the scene he imagined.He knelt on the ground filled with jealousy and hammered the floor hard.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Dong dong dong

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;“Ahhh, damn it, I’m so envious of him. That damn winner in life.” The nymphomaniac cook was about to cry without tears.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;""The others were speechless.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;What an interesting bunch of pirates.

&bp;∓

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Hey, Sherlock isn't in great danger now," the blue-nosed reindeer exclaimed.He was still frightened by how miserable Luffy and Zoro were at that time, and thought he was following in their footsteps.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Haha, don't worry, Chopper, Charlotte is very strong."

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Luffy grinned, and then very consciously stretched his claws towards the grilled fish that Sanji had specially left for the magician.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Since Charlotte is not here, he won’t blame me for eating his food.The idiot captain thought so.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;“Woojiji, not only Magic Valley Town, but also the forest south of here is full of dangers.”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Yes, the apes are right. There are a lot of poisonous insects and beasts living there, and a creature called the guide bird can order them to attack outsiders together by calling. It's very scary."

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;The Sarusama brothers looked very serious. It seemed that they had suffered a lot from the bird called the guide bird before.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Guide Bird Guide is called this because it can guide like a compass."

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Nami frowned slightly. As a navigator, she instantly grasped the importance of her words.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Yes, the biggest feature of the guide bird is"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Couric pointed to a golden statue in the shape of a guide bird. Just as he was about to continue, his expression suddenly changed.And looking at the expressions of their "final director", the Sarusama brothers suddenly remembered something extremely important.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;“Not good”&bp;The three of them shouted in unison.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;After a while.

"Listen, it is for this reason that you must catch a guide bird, otherwise you will not be able to catch up with the soaring current. As for the reinforcement of the ship, we will leave it to a few of us."

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;After briefly and comprehensively explaining the importance of the guide bird to the Straw Hat, Couric took a long drag on his cigarette and said solemnly:

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;“If you think about it carefully, there is actually no time for a banquet tonight.”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"So why did you just think of such an important thing now?" Luffy and the others pointed at the chestnut-headed uncle's fangs and roared.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Time is running out. After preparing the props for catching birds, the Straw Hats planned to set off immediately. However, just as Luffy and others were about to push the door open and leave, several deafening sounds suddenly came from outside. of gunfire.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Boom boom boom

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;There are enemies

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;Everyone’s expressions changed almost at the same time. They hurriedly ran outside the house and looked in the direction of the shelling.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;On the sea, I saw a pirate ship with a strange smiling face approaching here quickly. Because the sky was dark, I couldn’t see the figures on it, but looking at the menacing posture on the other side, it was obvious that it was coming. The trio was so frightened that they hurriedly retreated into the house.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"Wujiji, that pirate ship is"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;“Damn it, are they here to steal the gold?”

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;The apes and orangutans moved their wrists with serious expressions, apparently preparing for a big fight.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"" Kulik took a puff of his cigarette and said nothing, just silently watching the pirate ship gradually approach.

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;"The straw hats are there"

&bp;&bp;&bp;&bp;With this crazy roar, the Straw Hats finally saw the figure on the boat clearly. It was the "new era" pirate Hyena Bei who was mocking the dreams of Luffy and the others in the bar. Rami.To be continued.
