Chapter 113: Adventure on Organ Island (5)
"What are these hilarious stone statues?" Following Luffy's voice, the Straw Hats came to a bright artificial lake, and the three Ratchets followed closely behind to find out. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
There are no animal statues on the shore of the artificial lake, and the weathering marks of the stone statues can be guessed from the traces of weathering of the stone statues, which are hundreds of years old, or even older.
"This lake is really beautiful!" Looking at the crystal clear water, Sanji praised, but after a while, Sanji immediately became a nymphomaniac and said, "But it's still not as good as Miss Nami and Miss Robin!"
"Do you know what?" Nami completely ignored Sanji, who was committing a nymphomaniac, and asked Ratchet and the others. Since the clues of the ballad have been interrupted after arriving here, unless new clues can be found here or Ratchet and others can provide some new relevant information, they really can't start.
In response to Nami's inquiry, the burly Colonel Zhenzhen looked very honest and said for Lachet, "It's our first time here, and we don't know anything else!"
"Anyway, let's put the stone statue thing aside!" Ratchet said, pushing his glasses. He wasn't here to study the statues, and he didn't want the Straw Hats to waste their time on these inconsequential statues. Since the relationship between him and the Straw Hats is to use each other, all Ratchet hopes that the Straw Hats can spend more energy on unlocking the "Golden Crown".
However, Laceett obviously overestimated the Straw Hats' desire for the Golden Crown, and Luffy, who had no interest in the treasure at all, just risked his life with the purpose of finding the Golden Crown, while Nami, a fan of wealth, didn't believe in the existence of the Golden Crown at all, and the other Straw Hats just came to join in the fun.
In other words, Ratchet wants the Straw Hats to focus all their energy on finding the Golden Crown, which is obviously impossible, and Luffy, Usopp and Chopper have been having fun around the artificial lake, and have long forgotten about the search for the Golden Crown.
"Come and see, this pillar has words engraved on it!" said Nicole Robin, standing next to a stone pillar. For her, as an archaeologist, the ancient characters carved into the pillars are what she is really interested in.
"What's written on it?" asked Luffy and the others, who were playing, running over and asking, although they were not interested in history, they were still full of expectations for these unknown things.
"Wait until I look it up!" Nicole Robin took out the dictionary and began to look it up, then gave a rough conclusion and said, "It's the bottom half of the ballad!"
Nicole Robin said that the text on the pillar was the lyrics of the second half of the ballad, and that was what Ratchet really cared about, and maybe what was written above had something to do with his purpose. Ratchet also immediately came to urge with interest: "Let's talk about the next lyrics!"
Nicole Robin began to translate the words on the stone pillar and said: "When the blue water tank is dry, the green forest is glittering, shake,
"The blue tank must be that," William said, pointing to the man-made lake in front of him. The only "blue tank" that can be connected here is this artificial lake.
"That's the only way to think about it. Seeing the man-made lake in front of him, Usopp said helplessly: "But there must be a limit to joking, right?"
But Ratchet pushed his glasses on the bridge of his nose again and said what he thought was the best solution: "It's not easy? For example, if one person wants to drink it all, of course, it can't be done, but what if 11 of us come together?"
"No way, you don't even need to try!Are you an idiot?" said William disdainfully when he heard Ratchet's thoughts. As long as anyone with a brain thinks about it, they know that this kind of thing is impossible to do, but Ratchett, a mechanical genius, actually has such an idiotic idea, is his brain in water?
Although the members of the Straw Hats thought Ratchett's idea was idiotic, their captain didn't think so, and praised him with admiration: "Glasses man, you have such a good brain!"
"It's worthy of being a captain, the vision is different!" In the face of Luffy's praise, Ratchet actually accepted Luffy's praise shamelessly, and didn't feel that there was anything wrong with his proposal. Maybe he's been touted all along, no.
"That's an idiot too!" Hearing that Luffy was going to take Chopper to drink the water of the artificial lake, everyone couldn't help but sigh why was their captain an idiot?
Seeing the idiotic behavior of Luffy and Chopper, William pointed to a giant crane statue and reminded, "I said, isn't this guy who drank the water dry?"
"Oh, this crane seems to be fun, isn't it?" Hearing William's reminder, Luffy realized that this crane statue was actually the largest stone statue here, and immediately climbed up excitedly to see what was going on.
"Hurry up and get me down!" Seeing Luffy jumping and jumping on top of the stone crane, Nami's murderous aura actually scared Luffy. Luffy, who lost his footing, could only grab the stone statue with his hands when he fell, although he was a rubber man who was not afraid of falling, but this was an instinctive reaction of humans.
Being by Luffy like this, the two feet of the stone statue could no longer bear to shatter, and the huge crane's beak was nailed directly to the center of the artificial lake. Seeing Luffy's body submerged in the lake, Zoro rushed in and grabbed Luffy without hesitation. Although he also thinks that this captain is idiot, he is his own captain anyway, and in this case, in this case, apart from him, only Sanji can save Luffy.
Although the Straw Hats were all wet with clothes from the high splashing water, when they saw Luffy and Zoro being swept away by the lake, they all shouted worriedly, "Luffy, Zoro?"
"It seems that the mystery has been revealed, and when the lake disappears, the 'green forest' will appear!" Seeing the water level of the artificial lake continue to decrease, Lachett reasoned again with self-righteousness. But when the lake was almost dry, he was again shocked and disappointed and cried out, "How can there be nothing?"
After rescuing Luffy, Zoro wrung out his shirt and said disdainfully, "Normally, how can there be a forest at the bottom of the lake!"
Except for Luffy and Chopper, everyone else thinks that Ratchet is an idiot without any common sense, except for inventing some machines.
However, Luffy, who had just escaped death, began to have fun with Usopp and Chopper at the bottom of the lake again, looking very happy. For the behavior of these three teases, everyone doesn't care, if there are no these teases, the Straw Hats will be much more deserted.
It's just that the bottom of the lake is covered with moss, and the ground is very smooth, and Luffy accidentally fell down and actually stuck his upper body in the rock crevice, if it weren't for Luffy being a rubber man, I'm afraid this collision would hurt a lot, as long as it takes a few days to recuperate.
"Luffy, do you want to save you?" Seeing Luffy's funny appearance, William felt very embarrassed, and could only ask his captain helplessly. However, Luffy also seemed to know that he was in trouble again, but he still thought that he had the ability to save himself, so he rejected William and said, "It's okay, I can solve it!"
"Captain, there's something I'm concerned about and want to investigate!" At the bottom of the lake, Nicole Robin found a passage that didn't know where it leads, and after informing Luffy, she continued, "But it may not be directly related to the Golden Crown!"
"Wait a minute, I have something to investigate!" Hearing Nicole Robin's words, Chopper also followed, since coming to this island, there are some things that have always been very important to him, and it just so happens that now we will also go to investigate.
"Sanji, follow!" shouted Luffy, who heard Nicole Robin and Chopper going to act alone, stuck in the crack in the stone. Although he is usually very arrogant, he is still very concerned about the safety of his companions.
"Miss Robin, I will definitely protect you!" The excited Sanji immediately ran over as a flower messenger, and this flower messenger was personally appointed by the captain, who would dare to have an opinion?
Since the passage leads to the top, it has been flooded by the lake at least until then, and there is no sign of anyone entering.
So Nicole Robin thought that Ratchett's statement that they had never been here might be true, but her instinct told her that Ratchett must have something hidden from them.
