【One Piece】Painter

"You want to beat me away? Haha, this guy is interesting, but you look really shabby." Sakis took out some money from his pocket and threw it on the ground, "Take it to buy some clothes you like."

It's not unreasonable for this person to think so. Luffy is wearing a red vest, jeans and flip-flops. Zoro wears several identical clothes interchangeably. I like to wear white, but because I often draw, my skirt always gets stained. Pigments, Nami is the only one among us who looks like a normal person.

"Sakis, it's such a waste to give it to such a person." The blond woman laughed, and Sakis also laughed: "That's right, it's better to throw it into the ditch."

"Can I take it?" Luffy's eyes lit up, and he was dragged away by Nami and me, "It's really unpleasant to be gone."

After we went out, we found a tavern. Nami finished a drink in one breath and put the cup down. "It's really annoying!" She told the tavern owner about this.

"It's really unfortunate," the boss said, "but our Moku town can be said to be a city town composed of free-spending pirates."

Nami held her chin in her hand to express her anger, "So poor pirates can't come, right?"

"It seems like you can't get rid of your anger." The boss handed Nami a drink, "Come on, I'll buy you this drink."

"The people gathered here are all extremely vicious, so there is a lot of right and wrong. If you take everything to heart, you won't be able to stay in this town. The best way is not to provoke them."

"But I feel really bad about this place." Nami still didn't calm down. The boss was a good-tempered person. "The fact that you think like this means you are a normal person."

"But unfortunately, normal people are rare animals in this town. Anyway, you can save the records after staying here for 4 days. Just leave before you get into trouble."

"Four days...I can't even survive two days..." Nami sighed, and I rubbed her back to comfort her.

"Hey! Uncle/Boss!"

Two voices shouted at the same time, "This cherry pie is so delicious/so delicious!!"

Luffy and the black-haired man next to him looked at each other. They both raised their glasses, took a sip and then put them down, "Why does this drink taste so good/bad!!"

"Is there something wrong with your tongue?" the uncle said, and Luffy said back: "I think there's something wrong with your brain."

"Well, I'm not a chef anyway, it doesn't matter what you say."

The boss is unusually calm.

Luffy pushed away the cherry pie, "Hey, uncle, I want to buy 50 portions of meat as gifts!"

Uncle: "Boss, I want to buy 51 portions of cherry pie."

"Wait a minute, my meat is changed to 52 servings!"

"Sorry, my cherry pie has been changed to 53 portions."

"No, change the number of meat portions to 54!"

"Pie 55 servings!"

"60 servings of meat!"

"Pie 70 servings!"

"80 copies!"

"100 copies!"

The two stepped on the bar with their feet in unison, and said in unison: "Are you deliberately going against me?!"

"Hey, hey, why are you arguing?" I said helplessly, and Nami shouted: "Luffy, don't forget what you promised me, and how can we have the money to buy so much meat back!"

"Are you a pirate? Where's the bounty?"

"3 million."

"3 million? Just you?" the uncle said disdainfully, "How is that possible, liar!"

Luffy yelled, "I'm not lying to you, it's true!"

"Hey, hey, we don't allow fights in my store, big man, 50 cherry pies, get your stuff and leave quickly." The boss started to chase people away, and the uncle took a deep look at Luffy, picked up the stuff and left.

"Is there a pirate in a straw hat here?"

Almost as soon as the uncle left, someone came in and asked. He looked at the only Luffy wearing a straw hat in the tavern, "Are you the wanted criminal with a reward of 3 million? Luffy wearing a straw hat?"

The man had a vicious look on his face, which eliminated the possibility that he was here to chat with Luffy.

Everyone in the pub calls him Bellamy.

"Isn't that guy named Bellamy the guy who booked that hotel just now?" Nami said. Luffy looked at Bellamy walking over and sighed: "I always meet some big guys today."

"Give me the most expensive wine in the store, and give this kid something he likes." Bellamy said to the boss, who responded and went to work.

"What's going on? This dirty and smelly shop doesn't even have a seat."

A disgusted female voice said. I looked up and saw that it was the guy who just threw money at the hotel. He came over with two other unknown people. The blond woman was no longer among them, but a pink-haired woman.

As soon as they came in, they knocked down a few people and asked them to 'voluntarily' vacate their seats.

Luffy picked up the drink Bellamy ordered and said, "What? It turns out you are a good person."

Suddenly, Bellamy slammed Luffy's head into the bar, crushing the bar to pieces.

"What do you want to do? Little bastard."

Sauron's knife was placed across Bellamy's neck, "You should answer this question." I pulled out the whip and looked at Bellamy coldly.

"Zoron, wait, we haven't heard anything in this town yet." Nami blocked her, Zoro's hand holding the knife remained motionless, "Don't be verbose, this guy was the one who provoked me first."

Luffy stood up, "Very good, you should be ready to wake up."

People in the tavern began to cheer and wanted the two to fight.

Bellamy laughed: "This is not a fight, it's a test. Come on, let me see how capable you are."

"Luffy, wait!"

Nami quickly asked her boss for information: "Hey, uncle, we want to go to Sky Island. Do you know any relevant clues?"

The tavern was silent for a moment, and then everyone burst into laughter.

"She said she wanted to go to Sky Island hahahaha——"

Nami showed the record pointer, "Why are you laughing? The record pointer is obviously pointing to the sky!"

The tavern was silent for another moment, and then burst into even louder laughter, causing Nami to blush.

Bellamy sat on the chair, "Why do you even believe in that old legend, there are islands in the sky hahaha——"

"What era are you people from? The mysteries of the strange currents on the Grand Line have proven this one after another. The updraft current is one of them. It seems that you have never even heard of it."

"A ship swallowed by the upwelling current will be pushed into the air, and then the whole ship will fall into the sea. Unknowing ancient navigators saw the vision of ships falling from the sky and imagined an empty island in the sky. What did they say? There must be another world in the sky hahaha——"

"It's so stupid. Every phenomenon has its cause. The dreams in your eyes have now been unlocked."

"I lost to you. I originally wanted to test you and let you join the team of the new era." Bellamy said with a smile, "I didn't expect you to be a paranoia."

"Listen up, the era of pirates embracing the dream of treasure hunting is over. The Golden Land, the Emerald City, and the Great Secret Treasure One Piece are the only fools who are fooled by the dream of treasure hunting and ignore the immediate interests."

Bellamy continued: "Even those guys who are stronger than anyone else and dominate this ocean are being toyed to death by fantasies that don't exist at all."

"The dead idiot is still being told, 'That guy was so lucky to be able to live in his dream.'"

"This is basically a satire on the bereaved dog, haha——"

Hearing this, I tied the whip back to my waist, for it would be an insult to my weapon to hit someone like this.

"I feel bad whenever I see idiots chasing their dreams!"

Bellamy punched Luffy to the ground, "It's just because there are incompetent guys like you among the pirates that the level of us fellow pirates has been lowered."

"You bunch of bedbugs, get out of here, you've made the wine taste bad!"

There were many such insults from the crowd, and I watched quietly as the crowd threw bottles at us.

"Luffy Zoro, forget about our agreement, fight those bastards away!" Nami said, none of us made any move, Luffy sat up, "Zoron, this battle must not be fought."

……

Luffy and Zoro were beaten badly without even fighting back, and I was also splashed with wine.

No matter how Nami shouted, Luffy and Zoro didn't take action. Bellamy said arrogantly: "Weak people have no self-esteem and don't even dare to fight. However, their heads are full of dreams, and they are like trash."

"Take them out quickly!"

I helped up Luffy who was lying on the ground. Nami picked up Zoro with a humiliated look on her face and left the tavern.

"Sky islands exist."

A familiar voice said. The uncle who challenged Luffy before was eating a cherry pie. "What are you unwilling to do, miss? They won the fight just now."

"The new era that guy said is bullshit. What does it mean that the era of pirate dreams is over?" He laughed.

"Human dreams never end!"

"Just let stupid guys laugh. If you want to stand at the top, you will encounter unreasonable provocations,"

……

After we returned to the ship, Robin heard the news. There was a strange old man named Wenbulan Kulik on this island who seemed to know the news about the empty island. We decided to go find him.

I returned to the cabin and continued painting, ignoring what was going on outside the window.

I had just finished painting when Chopper came to call me.

"This is! The cherry blossom tree on Drum Island!!"

Chopper looked at the painting I had finished excitedly. I placed the painting somewhere where no one would disturb it and let it dry naturally, "My painting skills are pretty good."

Chopper looked at me with starry eyes, "Lila is so amazing!!"

I smiled and asked, "Did you call me for something just now?"

"Ah, that's right." Chopper looked like he had remembered. "Wenbrand Kulik's home has arrived. We are going down. Do you want to come?"

"Forget it, I want to think about what kind of painting is better for Robin." I laid out new drawing paper and said, Chopper reluctantly glanced at the cherry blossom tree painting and said, "Then I'll go down first. I’ll call you when I’m eating.”

……

A banquet was held at Wenbulan Kulik's house in the evening. Kulik was an uncle with a chestnut on his head, and there were two orangutan-like humans as his subordinates.

During the banquet, Kulik showed us a small bell made of gold and a gold nannanmi bird. After he finished showing it, he realized that we needed to capture a nannanmi bird.

Because we have to ride the current from bottom to top to reach the empty island, and the place where the current will appear is due south, we need to see birds from south to south to avoid getting lost in the sea of ​​the Grand Route.

Nan Nan Mi Tori has a correct magnetic field and will point in the right direction no matter how vast the land or sea is.

Kulik said that he would help us repair and strengthen the Merry overnight, and we must capture a south-soaked bird before dawn.

I went with Robin and Zoro. Although Zoro was a road idiot, he was still very efficient at killing some ridiculously big bugs. We successfully captured Nannan Mitori, and when we returned to Kulik's house, we actually saw him being killed. The destroyed house and the three people who fell down and didn't know whether they were alive or dead.

One orangutan is in the sea and the other is an ape on land. Kulik is lying on the ground covered in blood. Kulik's gold has also been taken away. There is a black mark on the destroyed house - Bellamy's logo.

Luffy said he was going to fight them off, but he would be back before dawn. I didn't stop him and even wanted to go with him.

However, the entire hull of our Mellie has been destroyed, so we must seize the time to repair it.
