The hardest thing in the world to cut is the karma

The third group of guests came from the sky.

Accompanied by the fiery red sunset, the cloud boat sailed from the sky, like an angel's passenger ship, descending on the world.

Deriat has a sky pier specially set up for cloud ships. Although it is usually only used by the old men of meteorology, it does not mean that it is not open to the outside world.

When Konis and the others parked the boat and went down from the sky pier to the ground, Luffy, Nami and Zoro were already waiting for them at the exit.Both sides have members who can use the color of knowledge, and it is natural to be able to detect each other's movements.

"Hasso!" Conis, who walked in the front, greeted the Straw Hats as the representative of Sky Island and the group, "Do you remember us? Lu Fei-san."

Luffy smiled and said, "Of course, Konis. I will never forget the comrades who have fought together."

Just as she was speaking, a smaller girl standing behind Conis rushed out and stood still in front of Lu Fei, holding her head high and her chest high.

"Then do you remember me? Luffy."

"Hmm—" Luffy dragged his chin and tilted his head, carefully sizing up the familiar girl, "Aisha?"

"correct!"

The little girl, who was very satisfied with being recognized, turned around happily.Indian-inspired skirt with dazzling waves.

"I'll let you go this time."

"?"

Luffy, who didn't know that he had just "escaped from the dead", looked at Aisha suspiciously, while Weber and the others, who knew about Aisha and Cornis' plot, invariably put their hearts hanging in their throats back into their stomachs.

When a group of people walked towards the port where the Sunny was located, Nami carefully explained the situation to Konis and the others.

"Because of the large number of people, Sanji decided to hold the dinner on the beach near the port."

"At that time, a huge bonfire will be lit!"

Luffy added cheerfully.

"Oh--!"

Perhaps it was recalling the grand bonfire feast that even the wild cloud wolves joined in, the eyes of the soldiers in Sandia lit up.

"Ji—" "Qiu Qiu!"

Jialuote and Sisi, the rabbit and the fox, looked at each other curiously.As Sisi's owner, Konis introduced her pets to her kindly.

"Her name is Sisi, she is a 15-year-old mother cloud fox."

"Ah! It's a long-lived old lady!"

Si Si waved a front paw very humanely.

"Qiu—"

Garrot looked forward at Luffy, Nami, and Aisha who were walking together, and then looked back at Zoro and Weber who were following behind. After making sure that no one was paying attention to him, he approached Conis. Whisper in the ear.

"Are you 'Angel Shuxiu'?"

"The little girl is not talented, she just has a little understanding of the rhythm."

"Ah~~~" Lowering his voice, Garrett screamed excitedly, "I really like the song you wrote."

Conis smiled and patted the lyre behind her back.

"Should I add a song to the banquet tonight?"

"Must! Must!"

"What must it be?"

"Well!"

Garrett quickly covered her mouth, and found that everyone stopped to look at her, especially Luffy, so she decided to fool the past without hesitation.

"Be sure to have a great time with your new friends!"

"That's right!"

Luffy agreed with a smile and didn't go any further.

Nami, on the other hand, took a deep look at her with eyes that seemed to see through everything, but didn't say anything.

Garrett shrunk his shoulders and stuck out his tongue, and then put on a look of "Oh! It's dangerous! I almost screwed up!", then turned his head and whispered to Konis again.

"Sky Island, can I also receive "Straw Hat Monthly"? Was it sent by Newsbird?"

"I don't think the "Straw Hat Monthly" was transported by newsbirds. The height of the empty island is so high that even migratory birds can't fly up, let alone seagulls."

"Sure enough. The location of Elephant Island keeps moving. It's all about luck to meet the news bird, but the monthly magazine arrives on time every time. It's amazing, this magazine...who is publishing it?"

Konis replied half-jokingly, "Maybe it's a magazine issued by God."

"how come……"

Garrett originally wanted to laugh it off, but then he thought about it, and being able to ignore all objective obstacles and deliver the monthly magazine to every subscriber on time and accurately, isn't it a miracle that ordinary people can't do.

"If it was really done by God...why would you do such a thing?"

"Probably." Konis looked at Luffy's straight and resolute back, the shoulders were much thicker than in memory, "Luffy and the others, be blessed by God."

When the dinner was about to start, Frank appeared humming a little tune.

It puts him in a very good mood to impart the unreserved display of his research results to people with the same ambition.After all, Frank's job is a boatman of a pirate ship, not a full-time mechanic.There will always be a day when there is an accident when the knife is licking blood.For him, it would be a pity in life if the achievements of his life were buried in the darkness of history because of his own death.

Moreover, communication can always bring him new inspiration.

On the other hand, as Nami imagined, Brooke didn't come back on time.

Although it is not to the extent of fearing for life, the banquet cannot be done without musicians.So, the rescue team composed of Luffy, Aisha, Garrot, Momonosuke, Sauron, and Rusob went to the dignitaries of the "Lalilu Group" research institute.

As soon as they left, Rebecca and the others set foot on the land of Deriat.

"These, do you want to burn them all later?"

Looking up at the three-meter-high wooden shelf, Leo and his team's eyes almost shone.

Frank and Sandia's soldiers were busy back and forth carrying large pieces of wood, trying to make the huge bonfire more spectacular.

Nami, Robin, Wanda, and Konis lay leisurely on the deck chairs lined up in a row, watching the sunset, tasting juice, and enjoying Sanji's service to pass the time.

"Don't overdo it. I don't care if it causes a fire."

"Relentless Nami-san~ so handsome~"

"Nami-san, Robin-san, long time no see."

Seeing a pink-haired girl in a yellow dress trotting over, Nami pushed the sunglasses on her forehead and looked at the person carefully.

"Rebecca?"

"Yes."

"Wow!" Nami immediately got up from the recliner and shook hands with Rebecca, "You have changed so much. You can't even recognize it."

Robin also sat up and said with a smile, "It's become more feminine."

"Yeah~" The former female fighter who had endured humiliation alone in the death arena for several years, was forced to blush when two female friends said, "It's nothing more."

"This is the princess of Dressrosa——Rebecca." Nami first introduced Rebecca to the people on the deck chairs, and then introduced others to Rebecca, "This time from Sky Island Konis, this is Wanda from the Furry Principality."

"Ha Suo." "Kalujiu~"

"Nice to meet you."

"Which..." came a soft voice from the huge reef at the side, and Princess Baixing was lying there looking down at the crowd, "Rebecca, long time no see."

"Ah, Shirahoshi." Rebecca looked up at the mermaid princess, showing a very friendly smile, "It's been ten years since the World Conference."

"However, because we have a relationship of frequent correspondence, it doesn't feel like the time is that long."

"Eh? Shirahoshi, Rebecca, you two... do you know each other?"

Nami looked back and forth in amazement at the two who should not have known each other.

Rebecca explained: "Yes. Shirahoshi and I are both princesses of the same country, so we participated in the World Conference ten years ago. I, Shirahoshi, and Weiwei chatted together because of their similar ages. I didn't expect everyone It's Lucy's friend."

"Weiwei!" Nami was a little excited when she heard this unexpected name, "It's been a long time since I saw her. How is she doing?"

"She's doing well. Last year, she officially took the throne and became the first queen of Alabasta."

"The world conference ten years ago..." Robin murmured, "It is said that a major event occurred at that conference, which was the main cause of a series of changes in the world structure. Overwhelmed by ourselves, it gave us time for the Straw Hat Pirates to grow. However, what happened at the meeting has never been announced to the public. Could it be..."

At the same time, Rebecca and Shirahoshi stuck out their tongues and pretended to be cute, as if they were caught doing something bad.

Surprised, Robin and Nami wanted to say something, but suddenly Leo shouted from the campfire.

"What?! Brook Lando was kidnapped?!"

Everyone turned their heads and found that Frank was talking to Leo.It seems that the excited little people couldn't find the leader of Luffy everywhere, so they asked Frank Lando about his whereabouts.

Unfortunately, they asked the wrong person.

Frank, who had just returned to the team, gave a half-knowledgeable explanation, which caused a serious misunderstanding.

"Leo's team listens! Help Lu Fei Lando and the others, and rescue Brook Lando!"

"Oh!"

The passionate patriarch raised his arms and shouted, which was echoed by the whole team.Before Nami and the others could explain, the villains disappeared in a "swoosh" manner.

"Ha——" Nami rubbed her forehead with a headache, "Just don't let us pay for the loss and medical expenses in the end."

"This way."

Luffy, the leader, firmly pointed out the way forward at a fork in the road.

"That direction." Russob, who is more familiar with the situation on the island, stroked his chin and thought, "It's the gathering place for life research projects."

Garrett tilted his head and asked, "Huh? Why do you know it's over there?"

"It's knowledgeable." It was Momonosuke who answered her, "Right. Luffy."

"That's right. And Brook's aura is very special, I will never admit it wrong."

"Eh—it's really convenient. My knowledge and knowledge only reach the range of ten meters around me." Garrett said enviously with his paw in his mouth.

"I have a heart net since I was born." Aisha proudly puffed up her chest, "After more than ten years of training, it can already cover the entire White Sea!"

"Amazing!" "Amazing!"

Luffy and Garrett praised Aisha with her nose up to the sky.

"They're called the 'Lalilu Group', right?" Sauron, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said, pointing to a small clinic-like facility building by the side of the road, "Here we are."

The signboard hanging on the door of the "small clinic" still says "Lalilu Research Headquarters", but the small family workshop does not have the momentum that a "headquarters" should have.

Luffy blinked his eyes and uttered a crit.

"There were only four people inside, and one of them was Brooke."

"Eh~ the headquarters of the three of them——"

"Three people are enough!"

Perhaps because he heard someone say bad things at the gate of his house, Raj pushed the gate open with a "touch".It was obvious that they had breached the contract first, but Raj acted confidently.

"Oh! It's you. I guess you are coming to ask for someone soon."

"Hey!" The three straw hat members, Luffy, Zoro, and Russob, jumped out first, and it was Garrot who deliberately spoke in a bad girl's tone, "If you know, hand him over to my old lady."

"That's right!" Aisha approached with her hands on her hips and grinning fiercely, like a little sister who followed her big sister's example, "If you don't make friends, I'll smash your shop!"

"KuangDang!!! DoGang!!! PiaLaLa!!!"

A loud sound of glass shattering from a cupboard poured down came from the depths of the research institute.

Aisha, who just threatened to smash the store, immediately panicked.

"Ah! No, that, I was just talking..."

"Leah! Luna!"

Raj ran back to the laboratory with a pale face, Luffy and the others who were left outside the door looked at each other, and then ran in together.

The purpose of entering is a messy scene.

The cabinets containing the medicines and the glass cabinets for cultivating samples were overturned to the ground, and the hair and clothes of Leah and Luna were sewn on the floor. Although they couldn't move, they were safe.

Seeing this familiar technique, Rusob narrowed his eyes with a face of "no way".

Raj ran to the two anxiously, trying to rescue his partner.Luffy and the others stood aside and looked around, and as expected, someone was missing.

"Where's Brooke?"

"The research subject was taken away." Leah, who was still fixed on the ground, could only turn her eyes to look at everyone, "Everything happened too fast. I only had time to see a few black shadows flashing by, and everything on my body disappeared gone."

"Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo" Luna was so scared by the sudden incident, her feet were pulled by something, and she opened her eyes after falling down, just... woo Woooo..."

"Damn it! Who the hell?! Do this kind of thing!"

After hearing this, Raj punched the ground angrily.Garrett and Aisha also looked filled with righteous indignation.

"Unforgivable!" "Hurry up and get back Gusang!"

"..."

Luffy and the others, who had already guessed the real body of the black shadow and sensed the opponent's movement through their knowledge, were a little dumbfounded.

Although I don't know the reason why Leo and the others did this, but considering the lack of heart and honesty of the Dongtata tribe, they must have misunderstood something.

Luffy's sense of responsibility as the head of the big ship regiment had a rare sting.Stepped forward and patted Raj on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

"Sorry, it's our fault."

"Forehead?"

The "Lalilu Group" who didn't understand what happened, Garrett, and Aisha stared blankly at Luffy and made a gesture. Sauron pulled out the autumn water from his waist, and then with a flash of the knife, he restrained Leah and Luna All the thin wires are broken.

Facing the bewildered few people, Luffy showed a big and bright smile.

"As an apology, Brook's loan fee will be ignored."

"Really!" "Saved..." "Thank you so much!"

The trio at the head of L had little stars in their eyes, looking up at Luffy's "Smile for all sentient beings" with admiration for the savior.

Russob felt his stomach hurting.

"I seem to have seen Nami lose her temper."

Just when Luffy and the others were about to leave and go after Brook and Leo, Raj looked at his two partners with special eyes, and got a nod of approval from his partners.

Raj said to Luffy: "Actually, we didn't intend to delay the return time."

"Ok?"

"I really didn't expect such an incredible phenomenon to be found in an ordinary physical examination." Leah found a folder that was still in good condition from the scraps, and handed it to Luffy. "This is the observation data of the research object."

Luffy lowered his head and opened the folder, and the others looked at it together.

"???"

"Cough!" Raj explained aloud, remembering that not everyone could understand the test report, "That's right, we found out that your companion named Brook actually..."

"Yo Ho! Yo Ho Ho Ho—! Everyone, everyone is..."

Brooke, who was carried flat from head to toe on the road and moved at an unimaginable speed, could not figure out why he became like this.

In short, there is a risk of overturning the car if you move around, so he straightened his body very cooperatively and assumed a lying corpse position.

"Long time no see, Brooklando!"

Suddenly, a small man with a big hand and a squirrel tail jumped onto Brook's ribbed chest.

"Leo Sang! Long time no see. What is this..."

"Relax, Brooklando! We have rescued you from the villain's lair!"

"what?"

"Now, we are rushing to the port. We will meet Frank Lando soon."

"...Ah, that's it. Yohohohoho—"

When you don't know what answer is good, just smiling is enough.

However, it is not a happy scene on the port side.

During the period after Leo and the others set off, another group of guests arrived in Deria.

Frank, who has a huge body, and the blond, brown-skinned man who is only half his head, sit opposite each other on the beach.The sun had already set in the west, and everyone on the beach brought out high-power incandescent lamps for lighting.Now the glaring white light illuminated the outlines of the two of them coldly and deeply.

The others surrounded them in silence.

Frank read the design drawing in his hand again carefully by the light, and then looked up to the opposite side.

"Once this design is realized, you should know what it means, Barry."

"Of course. I'm a boatman by myself anyway."

Barry bit his cigar, his eyes straight and unwavering.

Seeing him like this, Frank suddenly smiled.

"That guy Bingshan's idea... can work!"
