[One Piece] Uncrowned King

The Four Bases Mountain in Katerness is a very peculiar mountain. There are not only all kinds of weird species in it, but also many plants that are only open in certain seasons outside.For example, the pink and tender cherry blossoms bloom here every month without interruption.In fact, the mountains of Katness Island do not need to use climbing tools at all. The efforts of generations of people living in this village for hundreds of years have carved out a safe ladder for future generations to go up the mountain.In addition, the middle of the highest stone mountain was hollowed out to form an open large stone house for people to rest.Whenever the moon is full, it is the best place for villagers to enjoy the cool and enjoy the moon.

It's just that Teresa and Newgate didn't come here to watch the scenery, but she wanted to take this opportunity to help him understand the downhill, such as edible and inedible foods, and some things that must not be approached carnivorous plants.Although Katness looks like an ordinary island, it is in a new world after all, and there are many surprising and strange creatures in it.Newgate seems to have a penchant for the weird, and doesn't miss a single novelty along the way, especially dangerous guys with attacking power.

"This is the yellow quail, the thorn vegetable, the green weed...these are all edible wild vegetables." Teresa dug out the plants whose names she named, and showed them to Newgate for a closer look. The places where you can eat and how to do it are all explained together.Now holding a cluster of small purple flowers in her hand, she said: "This is Zhuge Cai. Its young leaves and shoots are edible, and may be used to treat cardiovascular diseases. The purple pointed ones are green weeds. You have to soak the bitterness before eating, and its seeds are medicines that can clear away heat and improve eyesight."

"Yeah." Newgate glanced at the wild vegetables she threw into the basket, and nodded slightly to show that he heard.

"That's right, this silver thread grass, although many people eat it, is actually poisonous, so don't learn it." Teresa said seriously, and then opened her hands and hugged the purple plush grass at once. She saw a huge fluffy plant, and then chopped it down with a sickle and said, "I'm so lucky to have come across this. The big fluffy ball is cute, it can be used as a condiment." After finishing speaking, she didn't throw the fluffy purple ball into it. Basket, but hold it in your hands cherishingly and continue to move forward.In fact, Teresa is a plush fan, so she would stop and touch for a long time when passing by any plush plants such as dogtail grass.

This Newgate declined to comment. He didn't think there was anything cute about the smelly stuff.

The two picked vegetables while walking, and it took more than 2 hours to reach the middle of Siji Mountain. After putting down the basket on their backs, Teresa wiped the stone chair and said, "Come here for a rest, next I will What I’m showing you is more dangerous, we’re only two now, so don’t go there.” She took out two binoculars from her pocket, adjusted the lenses on them, and handed them to her, “Look ahead, that big Red plants."

Newgate took out the binoculars as he said, and looked in the direction she was pointing at.

I saw an open space on the mountain in the distance, which stood out very prominently on the mountain full of weeds, as if it had been stripped naked on purpose.In the open space without even a single blade of grass, there is a tent-like thing the size of a house. It has a square outer skin like an old earth wall, and a beautiful bright red inner lining is revealed through the faintly exposed gaps.

"Someone lives here?" Newgate asked, not understanding what she was asking him to do.

"Do you think it's a house?" Teresa asked with a smile, taking the bow and arrow on her back under Newgate's inexplicable eyes, aiming at the bow, and shooting mercilessly towards the tent.The wooden arrow pierced through the air and shot straight at the thing.At this moment, the thing that Newgate thought was a tent changed its shape instantly. The old outer skin retreated outwards, revealing the bright red inner flesh. With sharp teeth, it suddenly opened its mouth wide and swallowed Teresa's arrow.As if belatedly realizing that it was not something to eat, the red inner flesh squirmed a bit, spat out the arrow, and returned to the harmless tent appearance before.

"This is..." Seeing such a scene, Newgate's eyes slightly rolled down.

"It's a mutated overlord-type egret flower. It can not only catch large animals, but even the nearby plants have been absorbed by him. That's why the area has become bare." Teresa put away her bow and arrow again, feeling a little regretful. Said: "That road is forbidden to pass because of the egret flower. Its penis can be stretched and its attack range is very wide. It's just a pity that there are many herbs and... Hey! You want to Where to!"

Teresa hadn't finished speaking when she saw the people around her stand up and walk towards the blooming egret flower.She quickly stood up and hugged his arm, anxiously said: "Where are you going!"

"Don't you have the herbs you want?" Newgate asked with a sideways look, but he lifted her up and put her on his shoulders regardless of her answer.In this way, Teresa was brought over many rocks neatly, advancing at a weirdly fast speed.The distance between the two mountains was no more than a piece of cake for him, he jumped up slightly, and landed on the open space of the opposite short mountain with ease.

"..." Teresa was completely stupefied. She just watched him dumbfounded as he easily lifted the egret flower that dozens of people could not subdue from the soil, tied it up and held it in his hand. superior.The corners of his mouth were curled up, his light golden eyes were filled with tranquility, and he seemed to be in a good mood.

The girl lying on his broad shoulders carefully glanced at the piranha that was struggling after being tied up, flinched, and then hugged his neck and said: "Newgate, you..."

"Go and pick the herbs you want." He knelt down and put her off his shoulders, watching her fall to the ground safely before standing up again.

"Hey..." Teresa didn't react yet.

"Why are you in a daze, don't you want it?" He raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and rubbed her head with his big hand.

Teresa suddenly came back to her senses, blushing and said: "That, that! Did I take the risk because I said there were herbs... I'm sorry... I was too careless! Although those things are very precious, Newgate will not want them in the future. I'm taking a risk, I can think of other ways to use herbs, but Newgate's life is much more important than that..."

"You don't have to think about it." His golden eyes glanced at the struggling egret flower in his hand, and Newgate said in a calm tone: "It just so happens that I think this thing is quite interesting, and besides..." His gaze was looking into the distance, his tone He said calmly and firmly: "Whatever you want, just ask for it." He will do his best to fight for everything he wants for the people he protects.
