Pirates: The Steady and Responsible Person in the Straw Hats

The movement caused by Rab was huge. Under the swing of its huge body, the huge waves rolled up by the sea directly pushed the 'Merry' and Crox's houseboat directly away from the coast of Twin Capes.

"What the hell is this kid doing!"

Crox grabbed the handrail of the houseboat to prevent himself from being thrown out to sea. He couldn't understand how the situation that was fine just now was suddenly broken by this young man whom he had a crush on. He was just like Roger back then.

Completely out of line with common sense.

'Boom'

crackling

Looking at Luffy having a heated fight with Labu in the distance.

Except for Yuri, everyone else looked puzzled.

Even if they don't understand, they can only wait for their captain and Rab to 'tell the difference'. After all, they know Luffy and believe that he will never do it without reason.

"draw."

Rab, who was about to hit Luffy with his huge head, looked at the tiny figure on the island with his big eyes in confusion.

"I'm strong, right?"

...

"You want to beat me, we haven't decided the winner yet." Luffy looked at Rab in the distance, "So we have to continue fighting."

"Although your companions are dead, I will always be your opponent."

"We must fight again to see who is stronger."

"After we circle the Grand Line, we will come back to you, and then let's fight again." Looking at Rab in front of him, Luffy raised the corners of his mouth and smiled.

Labu's big eyes stared blankly at the little one in front of him, with tears gradually coming out of his eyes. It seemed that he had found the meaning of his life again.

"Wow!"

Raab raised his huge head and roared to the sky, but this time his voice was no longer full of sorrow, but a kind of expectation for the future.

"Luffy..." Yuri straightened the brim of his hat.

Although this man is impulsive, what he does is always unexpected.

But Yuri had to lament that this kind of reckless behavior may be unacceptable in the eyes of rational people, but sometimes it is surprisingly effective.

Maybe this is the charm of Luffy.

------

"This is the battle agreement between you and me. Before we come back here, you must not knock this mark off."

Luffy, covered in paint, crossed his arms with a confident smile on his face.

Looking at the masterpiece he painted above Rab's head, he nodded with satisfaction.

I saw an 'abstract' painting painted on Rab's head.

Skull wearing a straw hat.

Rab opened his mouth slightly and whimpered to indicate that he understood.

"very good!"

...

Crocos looked moved as he watched this scene.

not far away.

Two figures floated on the sea.

Weiwei looked at the 'cross-race' exchange between Luffy and Rab in the distance with complicated eyes.

This boy wearing a straw hat is so strange.

"Miss.Wednesday, what should we do next?"

Mr.9 on the side looked at Weiwei who was lost in thought and asked.

Weiwei came back to her senses, "Anyway, we have to go back first and make a report to the boss."

"ok~"

...

"Miss.Wednesday...It seems that the permanent pointer is lost..." Mr.9, who had been groping for a long time on his body, had a panic expression on his face.

"Hey!! My record pointer is gone too..."

-

"Eh!!!"

"What's wrong, Nami-san~" Sanji appeared next to Nami with heart-broken eyes, holding up the prepared 'elephant tuna' on the dinner plate, "I've already prepared the food."

"Are you ready to eat?" Usopp, who was repairing the ship's mast and sheep's head, climbed up from the shore.

"The compass is broken."

Nami frowned and looked at the compass in her hand in confusion. The pointer on it was spinning constantly.

"It seems you guys came here without knowing anything," Crocos said solemnly as he stepped forward and took a look.

"Are you here to die?"

"In this sea area, all chaos is normal, and the compass is not broken."

"Is it because of the magnetic field?"

Nami said in shock.

Crox nodded, "Yes, because the islands in the Grand Route contain a large amount of magnetic minerals, the magnetic field along the entire route is very abnormal."

"The currents and wind directions are also unpredictable. If you are a navigator, you should understand how scary this place is."

Nami nodded, "Yes, if there is no way to indicate the direction, it would be too desperate." She patted her head as she said this, feeling annoyed that she had only thought of this now.

"If you want to sail the Grand Line, you must have a record pointer."

"Record pointer?"

"That's a special compass that records magnetism."

"Is it this?"

After hearing this, everyone turned to look at Yuri who was walking towards him, and saw a watch strap hooked on his finger. There was a round glass cover on the top of the watch strap, and a 'watch' with a pointer inside.

"This is…"

"Yes, this is the record pointer."

"Yuri, where did you get this from?"

Yuri scratched his cheek with his fingers, a little embarrassed, and smiled: "Oh, I got it from the two escaped duo."

"Hahaha, Yuri, you are so great. You are indeed the most reliable."

"Hey, hey, Nami, don't come over here!"

"Squint-eyed bastard, let go of my Nami-san!"

"What are you squinting, you sexy chef, do you want to fight!"

"Come on, who is afraid of who!"

'Crackling'

Nami let go of Yuri, who ran to fight with Sanji, and looked at the pointer in her hand in surprise, "Is this the record pointer?

But why are there no words on it, so how do we know what the next island is..."

"That's because the islands scattered throughout the Grand Line are magnetically connected according to certain laws."

"That is to say, we need to use a recording pointer to record the magnetic force connecting the islands, so that we can find the route to the next island." Crox said and couldn't help but glance at Yuri who was fighting like a child. and Sanji, as well as Luffy and Usopp who were cheering and shouting next to them.

What a bunch of energetic little guys.

"In this sea where it is impossible to grasp the accuracy, what we can rely on is the magnetic force recorded by the recording pointer." Crocos saw Nami listening carefully and said with a smile:

"You will start from this upside down mountain and choose one of the seven magnetic lines. No matter which route you start from, you will eventually reach the last island."

"Final Island-Ravdru!"

"Only one person in history has reached that place, and that's the Pirate King."

Ralph Drew?

The four Yuri people who were fighting and cheering stopped and turned to look at Crocos who said this.

"So onepiece is there?"

Usopp shouted excitedly.

"Who knows?" Crocos smiled meaningfully and let it slip.

"You'll know this kind of thing if you go and see it." Luffy smiled confidently and chewed up the fish bones in his mouth.

Crocos looked at him in astonishment. The other man's smile was just like that of the captain back then, full of indomitable faith.

"Well, we're full, let's set off." Luffy burped contentedly, patted his bulging belly, and looked happy.

Luffy's burping caught the attention of Yuri and the others, and only then did they realize that all the delicacies on the stone table had been swept away.

"When did you bastard eat all the food?"

"There are no bones left..."

“Give me back my elephant tuna!!”

'Crackling'

The angry Yuri and the three began to gang up on Luffy who had eaten the food secretly.

Crocos stood aside and watched with a smile on his face.

So interesting, these little guys.

Nami looked at the record pointer tied to her wrist with a smile.

"Record pointer, it needs to be kept well."

At this time, Luffy was being beaten by Yuri and Sanji, two men who had abandoned their past feud.

He was knocked away by Yuri's punch and Sanji's kick at the same time, flying straight towards Nami who was playing with the record pointer.

'call out'

‘Crack’

Luffy flew in front of Nami at this time, and his palm scraped the 'record pointer', followed by a crisp cracking sound.

Nami's smile stopped, and her pupils stared blankly at the broken pointer on her wrist.

Broken, broken...

Crocos: "..."

A nameless rage burned in her chest, and the killing intent in Nami's heart was radiating out of her body like a substance.

"Yuri, Sanji."

"What are you doing?" Yuri hadn't recovered from the resentment of having eaten the food. After turning his head with an unhappy expression, his face suddenly turned pale and he was trembling with sweat.

"Yes~Nami-san" Nami's call instantly made Sanji, who was so angry just now, have heart-broken eyes and turn his head with a smile on his face.

"You guys, please go out and calm down!"

'Boom! ! '

Yuri, Sanji, and Luffy turned into three meteors and flew out of Twin Cape.

Crocos: "..."
