Chapter 20: The First Island
With great effort, Sherlock finally calmed down the boat's teasing.
"What, no matter how you copy Bailey, it's all reversed, and you can't spend it at all!" Nami complained at Sherlock as she looked at the stack of colorful bills in front of her with a disappointed expression.
"It's unpalatable meat. Luffy stuck out his tongue exaggeratedly, "The meat you made is too bad, Charlotte, doesn't it taste at all." ”
Sherlock let out a long sigh of relief, and looked at Luffy and Nami helplessly: "It's said that it's a mirror image, but it's naturally the opposite, and the food of the mirror image is not only tasteless, but it won't fill your stomach if you eat it." ”
Hearing this, Nami casually threw away the waste paper in her hand: "Forget it, anyway, you owe me money now, remember, 50 million Bailey, hehe." Then she smiled seductively at Sherlock.
Sherlock's face was black, and he felt quite helpless about this money-greedy navigator who had no discipline at all.
Seeing that the great dream of having endless meat was shattered, Luffy pursed his lips with an angry face, and said to Sanji, who was standing aside and smoking lightly, "Sanji, I'm hungry, I want to eat meat!"
"......" Sanji held a cigarette in his pocket and looked at the snow outside the window in silence, with a loveless expression, even if Luffy called him, he didn't react at all.
Seeing this, a few drops of cold sweat flowed from Usopp's forehead: "According to my Usopp's many years of experience, Sanji is broken because the reality is too cruel. ”
"Well, that ......" just then, Miss. Wednesday's faint voice came from the side.
Wednesday first looked at a man with some fear, and then she asked Nami tentatively:
"There's no one at the helm since just now, is that okay?"
Miss Navigator looked at the recording pointer on her wrist when she heard this, and replied casually: "Ah, I just saw the record pointer, don't worry, it's ......."
Nami's voice stopped abruptly as if she had suddenly been grabbed by a large, invisible hand, and then erupted into a scream.
"Ah......h
"Nami-san, what's going on?" Sanji, who had been dead, immediately came back to his senses, and asked anxiously towards Nami.
Sherlock glanced at the recording pointer on Nami's wrist, pushed his glasses, and said sternly, "The course is completely reversed, we are returning the same way!"
Nami, who was slapped in the face by the strength of reality, scratched her hair a little irritably: "How can this be, it's obviously calm!"
"You've been tricked by the waves!" said Miss. Wednesday gloated, seemingly pleased with the frustration of the Straw Hats, and then the blue-haired girl looked at Nami mockingly, "In this sea, the wind, the waves, or the clouds cannot be trusted, and the only thing that can be trusted is the direction of the record pointer. ”
Mr. 9 also took the opportunity to answer: "Hey, young navigator......"
Sherlock looked at Nami with a flat gaze, and there was no sadness or joy in the dark eyes under the lenses.
I don't know what's going on, Miss Navigator is always very sensitive to Sherlock's gaze, although the other party's eyes are pure and do not contain any impurities, but Nami still understands this meaning:
(You navigator who can only pit money is really stupid~)
"Uh......h It's infuriating!" Nami clenched her fists as she held back the anger in her heart and let out a long sigh of relief. Now was not the time to waste time, so Nami hurriedly ordered the people present, "Go and change the course!" Turn the ship 180 degrees to the left. Sanji, you're going to take the helm......"
Then Nami turned her head and yelled at the whispering duo, "You two boaters should also go and help, or you can swim back by yourself!"
A group of people ran out in a hurry, not daring to disobey the orders of the Great Demon King Nami, this domineering attitude that the whole ship did not dare to obey gave Sherlock the illusion that Nami was actually the hidden boss of the Straw Hat Pirates.
The hatch was opened, and a cold wind blew in with snowflakes, so cold that Nami subconsciously shrunk her neck, and she walked out of the cabin and looked into the distance.
"Damn, this is simply a demonic sea, it can't be regarded as common sense at all, I've learned the art of navigation for so many years!" Nami muttered, her face extremely ugly
At the same time, thunder sounded in the sky, the waves gradually rolled up, and a giant sea king jumped out of the sea in the distance, and several columns of water that were sucked up by the tornado roared past......
The Great Voyage has begun to "welcome" newcomers.
……
Bitter winds, fickle currents, ice floes, and ferocious sea kings have left everyone on board the Merry in a state of frustration.
A group of people have been busy for hours, maybe it is really God's eyes, and the weather has finally stabilized.
The sea and sky are colorful, and a few seabirds glide through the turquoise sky, changing the original madness and looking very peaceful.
The Merry sailed slowly on the calm sea, the Straw Hats and the two hitchhikers lying motionless on the deck. After a few hours of thrilling sailing, the Straw Hats truly realized how precious it is to sail safely and steadily on the great route.
"Great voyage, it's really interesting, the shipwrecks I have encountered in the past few hours are almost catching up with what I have experienced in the East China Sea for ten years" Sherlock sat on the deck a little tired, and was wiping his glasses with a silk scarf very carefully, just now he had smashed at least ten giant icebergs, and Sherlock was already hungry after overusing the fruit's ability.
At this time, a green algae head who had slept for two chapters finally opened his hazy sleepy eyes, and then got up and stretched a big lazy waist, he sorted out the three quick knives on his waist, and looked up at the sky, the sun was shining, and it was an extremely gratifying good weather. Looking down at the ground, Luffy and the others were staggering on the deck, all looking lazy.
Seeing that his companions were so lax, Zoro reluctantly admonished: "Hey, hey, I said that even if the weather is so good, you shouldn't be so lazy, and what is it like to lie on the deck, isn't there a bed?"
"I've never seen anyone so brazen!" thought to the exhausted crowd.
Sherlock put on his silver-rimmed glasses with a black thread, and if he could, he really wanted to shoot this green algae head that stood and talked without backache.
Perhaps sensing Sherlock's resentment, Zoro saw a man with glasses who appeared on the ship by accident at a glance, he scratched his head, and asked with some confusion:
"You're called, that, Sherlock, why are you still here?"
Sherlock pushed his glasses: "I've joined the Straw Hat Pirates, and I'll be a companion in the future, please advise, Roronoa." ”
"Oh, 70 million Bailey's companions. Zoro blinked, seemingly surprised by Sherlock's joining, but he didn't think much of it, just smiled and said, "Another powerful companion, please advise, Sherlock." ”
After Zoro greeted Sherlock, he looked at Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday, who were lying on the side, "So these two are also joining us?"
"Not really. Luffy replied to Zoro as he leaned on the railing; We just sent them back to Whiskey Peaks. ”
"Whiskey Peak?" Zoro raised his eyebrows, the green-haired swordsman who had long been familiar with Luffy's style was not surprised by his captain's somewhat strange behavior, but this place, Zoro always felt that he had heard of it before, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
"You look like you have a bad idea...... What's your name?"
……
Zoro crouched down and looked up and down at the two self-proclaimed Mr.9 and Miss Wednesday, with his trademark wicked smile. He touched his chin and continued: "What a strange name, and I seem to have heard of you, forget it, anyway......"
There was a muffled "bump" on the ground.
Before Zoro finished speaking, he was hit the head, and he turned his head unhappily, and it was the orange-haired navigator who entered the Shura mode that caught his eyes, and he felt that the powerful green-haired swordsman was crying out in his heart!
"You bastard, you can't even call it, you dare to say that we ......" followed by a burst of screams.
"Cut...... Idiot green algae head!" Sanji spat out his cigarette and looked at Sauron, who was being rewarded by Nami, with a great sense of relief.
At this time, Usopp, who did not know when he climbed to the lookout, shouted excitedly at the people below: "Hey! I see an island faintly in the distance!"
"Oh, is it true, great!" Luffy quickly rushed to his captain's seat, his hand on his straw hat with excitement on his face. Looking at his excited appearance, it seemed that if he didn't know how to swim, he would have wanted to swim over by himself.
For this was the first island they had visited on the Great Voyage!
Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday glanced at each other, each with a hint of meaning.
Sherlock pushed his glasses to take in the qiē, and he stood up and looked ahead at the sea breeze
"Whiskey Mountain, interesting. The corners of Sherlock's mouth turned up slightly.
