According to Robin's information, the Straw Hats traveled to the other side of Gaya Island and met Venbran Kurik, the descendant of adventurer Vinbran Rowlando. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

At this time, the Golden Merry has almost been transformed, as long as it successfully rides the sky-high current according to the scheduled time, it will have the opportunity to go to the Sky Island, but the most important part of going to the Sky Island is still missing - catching a southward bird.

As the name suggests, the head of this bird will always face south, and the place where the next sky-high current appears is due south, because the ordinary compass is ineffective in the great route, the only way to distinguish due south is to the southward bird.

In order to catch the southward bird before the Cupola Current appears, Luffy, Sanji, Robin, and Vivi form a capture team and enter the Power Forest. Originally, Sauron also wanted to join, but stop everyone, otherwise even if he found the southward bird, he would lose Sauron and not go to the empty island.

So Sauron had to reluctantly stay and watch the ship with William. In order to sail safely, Usopp and Uncle Wembran Courik put the final touches on the Golden Merry, while Nami and Kerra study how they can safely ride the Storm Current to the Sky Island.

At this time, a huge black shadow flew through the air, and Chopper looked up curiously and said, "Look, what a big crow!"

"Someone jumped from above!" Usopp noticed that two people had jumped from the big bird, and it was certainly not ordinary people who could jump so high in mid-air. But with William and Sauron here, he had nothing to fear.

"It's the booger man!" Zoro recognized at first glance one of the dark-skinned, curly-haired men, who was none other than MR.5, a senior member of the Baroque Company who had been cut down by him at Whiskey Mountain.

"Hey, isn't that guy holding Bellamy?" asked Nami, pointing to a dying man in MR.5's hand. This person who was carried was indeed Bellamy, the captain of the Bellamy Pirates with a bounty of up to 55 million Bailey, but he was given a second away.

"How is that possible?" Usopp and Chopper couldn't believe it. They had already heard about what happened to William and the others during the day, but because of this, they couldn't believe that the arrogant and invincible Bellamy was actually being carried like an object.

At this time, William's heart began to feel a little uneasy, even if the world has changed because of him, but there will be no such change without cause and effect? That is, there is only one other possibility, that is, he is not the only one in this world who has crossed over from the earth, but because these have nothing to do with the original book, he can't determine who is the time-traveler.

But one thing is for sure, he has been targeted by other time-travelers, because the Straw Hats in the original book don't have him as a character.

"This is our captain's greeting gift for you!" MR. 5 said as he threw Bellamy on the ground. In fact, Bellamy was still conscious at this time, and he knew that he was being reached in front of the Straw Hats, but due to the serious injuries and the residual toxins in his body, he couldn't move.

"That crow has become a human!" Seeing the big black bird landing on the ground and turning into a human, Chopper was frightened, and seemed to forget that he was also an animal-based devil fruit powerhouse.

The young man who turned from a crow introduced himself politely: "I am a crow man who has eaten the crow species of the bird fruit, please call me Dr. Black Jack!"

"It's a doctor, why do I think he's a killer!" Usopp said suspiciously when he saw Black Jack dressed in jet black.

"Who are you?" Although Zoro knew that MR.5 was a former high-ranking member of the former Baroque Company, he must have joined the other forces now, just by looking at the uniform pirate logo on their bodies.

"Just treat us as enemies!" MR.5 pulled the trigger at Sauron as he pulled his gun, and a bullet flew quickly towards Sauron. When Sauron, who originally wanted to dodge, found that there was the Golden Merry behind him, he knew that he would definitely not be able to dodge, so he immediately cut the bullet in half with a decisive knife.

"It's good that it's not the boogers!" Sauron's heart broke when he thought of the last time he was in Whiskey Mountain, when his knife almost cut his nose.

Boom! The bullets split by Sauron's knife split into two and swept past the left and right sides of Zoro and the Golden Merry, exploding like cannonballs in the sea behind, and the splash was not much worse than being blasted out by a cannon.

"The bullets exploded?" and the four Nami were all startled by the explosion and splash behind them, knowing that if Zoro had chosen to dodge just now, the Golden Merry would have been blown to pieces, and they would have been blown away.

Seeing the surprised expressions of the four people behind him, Zoro had to reluctantly explain: "That guy is a gunpowder man who ate the gunpowder fruit!

"Isn't he Miss Valentine's Day's partner, the remnant of the Baroque Company?" everyone knew about the fact that William's castle space was still holding two captives of the Baroque Company. For this matter, Sanji did not give William much trouble, and even nicknamed William "human trafficker". It's not that William doesn't want to release them, but he is afraid that they will expose the information of the members of the castle legion.

"Huh, why are there so many people all of a sudden?" Chopper suddenly exclaimed, realizing that they were surrounded by a group of militants who did not know from there.

"Are they all the same?Is it a Devil Fruit Ability?" At a glance, these people were the same in appearance and appearance, and they were all doppelgangers of the man wearing Hanfu and holding a double-edged iron sword. William's heart couldn't help but admire the ability of this fruit, if a person whose strength has reached the level of a general has this fruit, it is not the same as having an invincible army?

The man in Hanfu and holding a double-edged iron sword suddenly said: "Why? Because ~ under is Kong Ming, the commander of the hundred-man army who has eaten the fruit of the soldier!"

"Captain of the Hundred People, do you mean that you can create up to a hundred clones?" Hearing the introduction of the person who claimed to be Kong Ming, William also roughly guessed that this soldier fruit was limited, otherwise an infinite clone would not be invincible.

Since William has always had the habit of collecting bounty wanted warrants, when he heard the name of Kong Ming, the "Commander of the Hundred Regiments", he already knew that the other party was the staff officer of Roberts and his gang from the South China Sea. Kong Ming is a pirate who has been put on a reward of 50 million by the world government, and it is said that he has been wanted in the South China Sea for many years and cannot be caught, but he did not expect that he had joined the Roberts Pirates and came to the Great Voyage.

"That's right!" After showing his strong strength, Kong Ming said victoriously: "It's a pity that there are only eight of you, and there is a huge disparity in strength between us!"

"How do you know there are eight of us?" asked William warily. According to the information gathered by the outside world, there are only seven members of the Straw Hats, and no one else knows about Nicole Robin's joining in the past few days at sea. Since the other Straw Hats have not been discovered, which means that the other party has decided that Nicole Robin is a member of the Straw Hats, the only people who can think this way are the time-travelers from Earth.

"Sure enough, as the captain expected!" Kong Ming deliberately probed after discovering that there were two members missing from the Straw Hats, "But you seem to be missing a few people?"

"We don't want to win with more, right? We're not afraid of you!" William didn't take this hundred-man legion commander in his eyes at all, he was still the castle legion's captain! Since the other party wanted to suppress them with numbers, then William also unceremoniously let this hundred-man legion be a test stone for his castle legion. Except for Vivi and Luffy, who went to catch the South Bird, all seven members of the Castle Legion arrived.

In addition to the Straw Hats, Uncle Vinbran Courik's companions also entered the battle mode, and their strength is not weak.

"Where did these women come from?" Kong Ming and the three of them were startled by the sudden appearance of the castle legion, Captain Sambo had not told them about such a thing.

"It's not all women, there's a stuffy bear mixed in there!" Kong Ming said, pointing at Bao Zai.

was really thought of being broken, and Bao Zai shouted angrily: "Uncle Ben is Francis Bao, not a hairy bear!"

"Zoro, clean up before Luffy comes back, or you'll be scolded!" Although in normal times, William and Zoro may not take the enemy seriously, but not today, the modified Golden Merry is prepared for the Sky Island, which is related to the safety of all their personnel, if something goes wrong, they will all die without a place to bury.

"I'll be enough for one person!you can protect the ship!" Sauron handed over the task of protecting the ship to William, and he was ready to take out three enemies by himself.
