Poseidon of the pirates

♂nbsp; "Hey! Come out and look, there's a pirate ship ahead!" After more than a month of sailing, Ai Yin took control of the rudder and shouted loudly.

Because there is currently no communication equipment or nautical charts, Julian and the others who cannot go to Gaya Island can only choose to go in the direction pointed by the record pointer, hoping that the next island will not be an uninhabited island. Of course, if they can encounter a sea at sea, The pirate ship is also good. You can inquire about it and borrow a chart.

Julian was meditating on the back deck of the ship. Hearing Ain's call, he got up and went to the front rudder to look forward.

Sure enough, there was the shadow of a large ship about two kilometers away in the direction of the ship. As for how Ain knew that the other party was a pirate, anyone who was not stupid knew that the skull logo on the white sail was a pirate ship.

With the current speed of the ship, they would be able to meet soon. Julian was already looking forward to his first contact with the pirates of the Grand Line.

Ai Yin was also excited. Her hatred for pirates originated from her childhood memories. Although she was now separated from the navy, with the perverts around her, none of the pirates in front of her could escape.

At this time, Kuina also came to the deck with a wooden sword. Before she could see the appearance of the pirate ship clearly, an accident happened. For some reason, the pirate ship that was running smoothly suddenly exploded, and flames shot into the sky. You can see clearly from the boat.

The two people, who were eager to try, looked at each other wordlessly, "Do you see what's going on?"

Hearing Ai Yin's words, Julian was stunned and scratched his head in embarrassment, "It's too far away and I couldn't see clearly. What about you?"

"Me too!" Seeing that Julian, who was more powerful than him, didn't notice it, Ai Yin also shook her head in shock.

Kuina looked at the sea flames burning in the distant sea and guessed: "Could it be a cannonball that hit the pirate ship?"

Julian shook his head. It was impossible. No matter how powerful the cannonball was, it couldn't cause the entire ship to burn in an instant!

"We'll find out if we go and take a look, but we still have to be careful!" Julian doesn't want to guess, just go and take a look and we'll find out. But no matter how strong he is, he still has to worry about the strange abilities in the pirate world, not to mention And give Kuina this little oil bottle.

When the ship of the three Julian men came close to the burning pirate ship, all they saw were corpses floating on the sea and fragments of the ship's planks that had been burnt to black charcoal.

"There's not even a single person left alive. It seems very sudden!" Ai Yin has experienced many naval battles, and he can judge the situation immediately after seeing the scene.

"There were no attackers, let alone cannonballs! Interesting!" Julian jumped off the boat and flew to the sea. He checked the dead pirates. There were no scars on their bodies caused by the shattered cannonballs. There were only burnt skin and suffocation. His protruding eyes made Julian very interested in the attacker's methods.

"What a pity, I wanted to borrow the nautical chart! But now it seems that everything has been burned down." Julian returned to the ship and said with disappointment the results of the investigation.

Ain and Guina didn't say much. They had already expected that the fire, which could be seen clearly from two kilometers away, even burned the boat until only the bottom of the boat was left, let alone the paper or leather navigation chart. .

"Hey! The pointer is responding. There is an island nearby! It looks like we can reach the next island today." Ai Yin looked at the record pointer on her hand that was beating violently, which meant that the ship was very close to the island.

"Then what are you waiting for! Go forward!" Julian shouted, turned the sail, followed the wind and accelerated in the direction pointed by the record pointer.

Sure enough, as Ain said, three hours later, the shadow of a small island gradually grew from a small black shadow to a larger one. An hour later, their ship had anchored near a suitable place on the shore to park the ship.

But Julian frowned as soon as he got off the boat and looked up at the tall red peak that looked like a chimney in the middle of the island.

This is an autumn island. The plants on the entire island seem to have withered, and there are still traces of burning on the dry woods.

There was no need for anyone to watch the boat. The three of them got off the boat and walked in the dead forest together. Their feet made a crisp sound on the dead leaves and it was very quiet.

"There are signs of human activity. This should not be an uninhabited island." Ai Yin said excitedly when he saw a tree stump left after being cut down.

Julian tilted his head and looked at Ai Yin. He seemed to have become a different person since that day of self-mutilation. Although communication was normal before, due to their identities, even though he had a life-saving debt to Ai Yin, it was still because of him. There was still a barrier between the two of them, but it seemed that as time went by, he discovered that Ai Yin was very curious about him. When the news broke out that Ai Yin was killed by him because of seeing the navy, it seemed that he was going to let go of all his suppression. The mood was so strong that she even threw herself into the sea. Then it was only after that when Ai Yin fell ill that the two of them seemed to have no communication, but their relationship broke through the barrier. Now Ai Yin seems to have really forgotten his identity as a navy. The same, and over time, he also developed an indescribable affection for Ai Yin. He enjoyed this feeling very much, as if he had more connections in this world.

Thinking about things, Julian and the three finally came out of the woods and suddenly understood. Then the three of them were surprised to find that there was a hillside pouring down like a basin in front of them. They were on the mountain looking down.

There were villages on the slopes, and Julian felt inexplicably familiar looking at those strange buildings, just like stoves one after another.

"What a strange village!" Kuina exclaimed when she saw a village with such a shape for the first time.

"I know where this is!" Ai Yin exclaimed. She remembered the records in a book she had seen when she was at the Navy Headquarters. It seemed to be a kind of food. No, it seemed to be the name of a cooking utensil. .

Ai Yin thought about it carefully and muttered, "It seems to be a person named Huo... Huo... what is it?"

"It must be hot pot!" Julian directly expressed his suspicion after hearing Ai Yin's words.

"Yes, it's hot pot! It's a magical cooking method that's a specialty of this island. It's said to produce steaming mist, but why is it so deserted now?" After Julian's reminder, Ai Yin clapped her hands and said suddenly, and She also gave Julian a strange look, wondering why Julian knew the name of the hot pot.

The corner of Julian's mouth twitched, what's going on?Does the world of One Piece still have something so unique to the original earth?

Looking at the mountain in the middle of the basin, doesn't it look like a big copper stove hot pot?

The three of them walked along a road to the village. Looking at the stone houses that looked like stoves, Julian wondered: "Don't tell me that these are actually houses for people to live in!"

"Of course not! Outsiders, how dare you go to the island? Hurry up and leave before the fire-eating monster notices you!"

The person who answered Julian was not Ain, but an old man wearing a fur vest.
