One Piece: Three Spirits

Crescent Village is named because it is closest to Crescent Bay, namely Devil's Beach. Except for one street in the middle, all the houses in the village spread out in a circle around the middle street, thus forming the current shape of Crescent Village.

The clever thing is that the name of the village is Crescent Village, but the shape of the village is like a sun, but I don't know why. Perhaps because of this, people in the village will occasionally disappear at night, but the time interval is quite long, and it will happen once every two to three years. People are missing, including men, women, old and young. This phenomenon has been forming for more than ten years. Year.

Since people who disappear always disappear at night and never happen during the day, and people who disappear at night only disappear when they go out at night, so although people in the village are afraid, they don't worry too much during the day. They still work as usual during the day, and after dinner at night, everyone goes to bed to rest and sleep.

Under the scorching sun, the villagers of Yueya Village are still working hard in the fields with hoes, wearing sweat towels and straw hats. Occasionally they get tired, stop for a rest, and then continue working with hoes.

The tired villagers were gathering under the shade of the trees to rest and drink the water they brought from the morning. At this time, they stopped and looked in the direction of the forest. They saw a young man carrying a huge tiger in that direction, walking towards the village. The villagers who were resting took one look at it and continued busy with their work. Live, drink water when you should, lie down and rest when you should, fan yourself when you should be cooled, and did not show any surprise or curiosity about this, as if you are used to it, and treat it as a normal thing .

It was only when the young man passed by that the villager spoke with a smile and said, "Sanling, I actually hunted a tiger today. It's a good harvest today."

How about coming to my house for dinner tonight? "

Before the young man could answer, a slightly obese villager on the side laughed and said, "My wife Yan Haier, you actually asked Sanling to come to your house for dinner, and you are not afraid of offending Sanling's stomach, haha."

"How can I be wronged? Sanlingwazi's stomach. The food cooked by my yellow-faced woman is delicious, okay? I've been eating it for decades, and it's still not the same." Haier's face showed a bit of embarrassment. Color said.

"San Ling, come to my house for dinner tonight. I'll ask your aunt to cook the roasted octopus you like."

"Sanling, don't listen to Ricky. Come to my house. I'll make takoyaki tonight. It's guaranteed to be better than the food at Haier's house."

"Ha ha ha ha"

Seeing the villagers enthusiastically inviting him to eat at their home, Sanling scratched the back of his head and replied with a smile, "Thank you Uncle Ricky, thank you Uncle Haier, thank you all for not being able to go to your home for dinner today. It's rare to hunt one today." Tiger, I’m going to the town to sell it and buy some fun toys for the children in the village, so I’m sorry.”

"Haha, don't forget, you are also a child, Lord Sanling." The villager said with a hearty smile.

After hearing what the villagers said, Sanling sheepishly replied, "I don't like playing with toys, so I don't need to buy them.

I'm going to town to sell tigers first. Goodbye, everyone. "

After Sanling bowed down and thanked the villagers, he carried the tiger's body and walked towards the town.

Looking at the retreating figure of the three spirits, a young man was carrying a big tiger alone, looking a little lonely.

"What a good child. He only thinks about others and never thinks about himself. All the prey he has hunted in the past few years has been given to us, so that our life is better than before, and the children also get Only by having more toys and eating better food can they grow stronger than the children in other villages."

"Yes, a fifteen-year-old child is responsible for the lives of hundreds of families in our village. We are ashamed."

The villagers were silently thinking, 'Yes, the whole village has changed because of this fifteen-year-old boy.' They must feel guilty, because the whole village has to rely on one child to live a better life.

"I wonder, will he go to sea?"

"Maybe. After all, he said he would go to sea to find partners."

"Why are you thinking so much?

Wouldn't it be possible for a strong guy like San Ling to be buried if he didn't go to sea? The strong should pursue a broader world and pursue their dreams freely. We assholes should not think about these things.

Let's go to work. Don't let this guy go. After that, we have to go back to the way we were before. We also have to rely on ourselves to live a better life.

Let's go to work," Haier said, shaking his hoe.

"Ow"

After listening to Haier's words, the villagers returned to work in the fields one after another, and under the scorching sun, they worked more energetically than before.

The three spirits who were walking away did not know what the villagers were talking about, but in terms of the three spirits' personalities, even if they knew, they would only smile slightly.

Crescent Island is not that big, with only one town and a dozen large villages scattered on the southwest side of the island. To the north are forests and cliffs, and to the east of the island is the most famous Crescent Bay Beach, also known as Devil's Beach.

Because only the boats that go to the island from there will disappear without a trace at night, and even the people will disappear together. Some people once parked the boats during the day, and then lay on the shore to watch, to see if something was coming to swallow them up. The ships disappeared together with the ships even on the shore. As time passed, no one went to explore the truth. After all, Crescent Island was just a remote island. After curiosity, coupled with the terrifying legend of the ship-eating devil, the matter became more complicated. Let it go, and no one wants to find out the truth anymore.

Crescent Island, although it is located in a remote place, and the towns on the island are not prosperous, but they are still lively. They sell fruits and seafood, sundries, swords and tools, clothing and snacks. They have everything. They look like a sparrow but have all the internal organs. appearance.

At this time, the bustling crowd looked at Sanling carrying the tiger, with curious expressions on their faces, and occasionally pointed at Sanling and started talking.

San Ling didn't care about the comments of the people around him, and just walked forward silently.

After walking through some of the busiest streets in the town, Sanling came to the back door of a courtyard relatively close to the port. Sanling crossed the threshold of the back door of the courtyard. After entering the courtyard, Sanling did not find anyone there. Sanling didn't think there was anyone there, so he didn't go in. It was obvious that Sanling was already very familiar with this yard. There was only a large tree and a canopy that took up half of the yard. There was a row of iron shelves under the canopy, and there were There were a large number of iron hooks hanging on it, and there were wooden boards on the table below. There were some dark and dried blood stains on the edges of the wooden boards. This was obviously a backyard slaughterhouse selling meat.

After Sanling entered the yard, he placed the tiger carcass on the ground near the slaughtering table, then came to the big tree, jumped lightly and sat on the lowest and largest branch of the big tree, and walked towards the yard. The house in front shouted loudly, "Boss, the goods have arrived. Come out and take a look."

Sitting on a branch, after shouting, Sanling swung his legs and looked in the direction of the coastal port. Suddenly he found that there were many ships docked at the port. He smiled and said softly, "Oh, it seems like we have a good day today. It happened to be a day when merchant ships came to the island to trade.”

Although Crescent Island is located in a remote place, there are still many people who use it because of the moonlight grass produced on the island and the swords made on the island. Moonlight grass is a kind of herbal medicine that has special effects on burns and scalds, and the swords are sharper than elsewhere. Some profit-seeking maritime businessmen come to visit, but the length of time varies, ranging from three to five years to ten or eight years, but generally speaking, it is normal to come once every five years.

But that’s not necessarily the case, it’s just that there are more businessmen coming at this time.

"Hahaha, look, my dear guy from Crescent Moon Village is here again. Your arrival is my good news." Sanling didn't let the three spirits wait for long. After a while, a hearty laughter came and he said happily. .

I saw the person coming, with eyes like brass bells, a tall and broad nose, more than two meters tall, a broad and strong figure, with protruding muscles in his arms, looking very powerful, but wearing an oil-stained apron with some blood stains on it , his appearance as a butcher and his obscene words completely destroyed his mighty appearance.

"Hey, boss, can you please stop talking to me like this? It feels weird. The thing is over there." Sanling jumped off the branch with a look of helplessness on his face, pointing to the place where the tiger carcass was placed, and said.

"Hey, kid, I just like to think wildly." I saw the mighty but wretched butcher boss, looking where the three spirits were pointing, his eyes brightened and he suddenly said, like a voice at some point, "Oh, dear , San Ling, the young man from Shuiling in Yueya Village, you are really too fierce."

"Boss, you inspect the goods first. After inspecting the goods, you pay me and I'll leave. Please don't do this again. If you do, I won't sell it." Sanling shouted loudly as the veins on his forehead formed a cross shape.

"Oh, don't be like this, the brave and handsome Sanlingjun." Although he said this, he physically walked to the tiger's corpse and touched it all over.

Although Sanling wanted to get angry again at the boss's words, he endured it after seeing the boss's actions. After all, he still relied on him to buy various things from the tiger's body.

After touching the tiger carcass, the boss had returned to his serious look and said to Sanling, "Oh, this time it was good. The prey was not broken into pieces, and there was not a single spot on this old Xu's body." As for the external injuries, only the skull showed signs of damage, and a complete tiger skin can be found, which is not bad, not bad."

Seeing the boss's satisfied look, Sanling gradually started to laugh, thinking happily, 'It seems like we can get a good price, so we can buy more things for the children in the village. I was able to buy some gifts for my uncles and aunts in the village, and more importantly, I was able to buy an exquisite pipe for Uncle Sam. ’

"Tell me, boss, how much Berry is this tiger worth? You name a price. As long as I can accept it, I will sell it to you." Sanling, although he had read the manga and anime One Piece in his previous life, he was not familiar with the content inside. I don’t know much about my life. I can only passively let the boss bid, and then calculate what I need. As long as the difference is within the majority, I will sell it. As for whether I will lose money or how much I will lose, I can’t care too much about it. Who calls himself an outsider?

"Well, let's do this! For the sake of keeping the tiger skin intact, I'll give you fifty thousand berries."

"Is it possible? It's a little less. I need to buy a lot of things this time. Boss, do you think you can give me more?"

"Well, okay, because we have cooperated for many years, I will give you another 20,000 berries, for a total of 70,000 berries. Today, the merchants from the sea are here and they are rushing to make tiger skins. This tiger skin will definitely be useless. Beautiful, I, the sea butcher Oum of Crescent Moon Town, will not lie to you, no more, so how about it?" Seeing San Ling slightly dissatisfied, the boss said again.

After listening to the boss's words, Sanling thought for a while and replied helplessly, "Okay, I sold it to you. Give me the money. I have to buy some things and rush back to the village."

"Okay, wait a moment." After hearing San Ling's words, the boss walked towards the door he just came out of, apparently going into the house to withdraw money.

Looking at the dead tiger, Sanling thought helplessly that although he had lost money on the sale, there was nothing he could do.

The boss didn't let Sanling wait for long. He appeared again after a while, then casually threw a bundle of berries towards Sanling and said, "Click on it. There are a total of 70,000 berries here."

San Ling had no doubts about this. After all, when he first came here, he almost crushed his palm to pieces. He didn't dare to deceive himself, so San Ling just silently stretched out his hand to receive Qian Beili's hand. He put the money into his arms and replied, "No, I'm leaving. I'll come back next time. Goodbye!"

Even the three spirits can't walk out of the yard.

Looking behind Sanling, he muttered in an ohmic voice, "This bastard's strength has increased again. He can actually kill a tiger without hurting it."

"Hey, for the 70,000 berries just now, with this complete tiger skin, I can definitely make double the money back." Then, looking at the tiger's body on the ground, Ohm thought of those people who just found him today, using Only he could hear Dao's evil voice saying.

(For the sake of this nearly 4,000 words, all fans of the sea, can you give me a vote of recommendation?)
