Chapter 14: Escape from Rogue Town
On the empty streets of Rogue Town, two men in robes strolled in the rain, their faces obscured by a wide hood, extremely mysterious.
"Pirates, well, that's not bad!" said a mysterious man of rather tall stature. Hearing this, the slightly slender mysterious man next to him snorted with disdain and said in a low voice:
"Cut, just like that, he still wants to be the king of the pirates? "The sound is like a yellow warbler coming out of the valley, which is very pleasant. But listening to the tone of her voice, it seems that she has a deep grudge against Luffy's straw hat.
"Hey, is he really your own son? Why don't I think he looks like you at all? Huh? It seems that you don't look very much like your father, is this the racial characteristic of your D-tribe?......"
The mysterious woman's thoughts began to diverge, and the words she said began to gradually become incoherent, and the tall mysterious man did not reply, but walked forward silently, probably having long been accustomed to the other party's words.
A bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, lighting up half of the sky, and the red tattoo on the left side of the mysterious man's face flashed in the lightning.
……
Near the port, Luffy and Sanji run wild in the rain. Suddenly, a cool-looking motorcycle appeared on the street ahead, and next to the motorcycle stood a tall man with white hair, looking like a man who was in a state of limbo in the torrential rain.
Smoker spat out his cigarette, looked at Luffy and the others, and said coldly, "Here, Straw Hat Luffy!"
……
Looking up at the electric snake dancing wildly in the air, Sherlock's figure slowly emerged from the deserted street, he looked back, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he saw that there was no naval pursuit, and then there was a hot pain in his back, which made Sherlock frown.
Sherlock was slapped by Smoker in the back, making him feel that his internal organs were displaced, and the ability to use the fruit for a long time was a very draining thing, even if Sherlock's body was far beyond ordinary people, he felt a little out of strength at this time.
"Such a big storm...... I've got another internal injury, and I'm not doing well. Sherlock pushed his glasses, and there was a sound of an argument ahead.
"Don't imitate her, you imposter woman!"
"Actually, the person you're talking about is an impostor!"
"What bastard are you talking about, woman!"
……
"It seems to be a man and a woman?" Sherlock stretched out his hand, and with a thought, a transparent mirror appeared out of thin air above his palm.
―Telescope, which allows you to view distant scenes.
A moment later, the debut ripples appeared on the telescope, revealing a distant scene.
Sherlock on both sides of the quarrel has actually seen it, it is the cute female navy who fell on the ground and the green-haired swordsman who picked up glasses, at this time these two people are arguing in the storm, and there is a group of overwhelmed navy standing in the distance.
"Is there a navy? Let's go around it. Time was precious, and Sherlock tightened his hood and ran quickly down another path.
……
"Rubber machine gun!" Luffy yelled, and then slammed his fist at Smoker like a storm, and although it was huge, it had no effect.
"You're actually worth 30 million Bailey?!" Smoker turned into smoke and wrapped Luffy, holding Luffy's straw hat head tightly with a big hand.
"Ah, damn it" No matter how Luffy struggles or punches and kicks, he can't get rid of the white hunter's control.
"Big smoke!" Smoker took the accused Luffy into the air violently, and then pressed him to the ground, Luffy snorted, his head was pressed by Smoker, and his face was pressed against the ground.
Smoker just sat on Luffy like this, and said lightly to Luffy: "Hmph, your good luck is over, Straw Hat Boy!" and then backhanded to get the ten hands behind his back, intending to correct Straw Hat Luffy on the spot.
However, a large and powerful hand pressed the handle of Smoker's ten hands.
"Not necessarily!" a deep voice sounded.
Smoker looked up, and at that moment, another electric snake streaked through the sky, and the stern face and red tattoo of the future man were clearly illuminated.
Smoker's pupils instantly shrank to the size of a pinpoint.
……
Looking at Sanji, who was fighting the navy on the shore, Nami was anxious, because there were reefs around her, and the storm was so strong that she couldn't dock the ship there.
"Damn, there are too many navies, I'll cover Sanji" After saying that, Usopp jumped into the raging waters, changing his old timid style.
After Usopp left, it became more difficult for Nami to control the whole ship in the storm alone, she gritted her teeth, her big beautiful eyes were full of anxiety, and she silently prayed in her heart, "Everyone, don't be fine!"
……
When Sherlock endured his pain and came to the beach, he was faced with such a scene.
The sky was still raining, the thunder was rumbling, a sheep's head sailboat was struggling in the rough sea, a guy with a long nose was splashing in the sea, shooting at the shore with a slingshot, on the shore, Sanji in a black suit was fighting with a group of navy, he was like the wind, his movements were very chic, but the navy that went forward made it impossible to get out.
In order to avoid trouble, Sherlock hurriedly turned on his stealth state, and just as he looked around for a working boat, a violent wind suddenly blew and swept through the entire town of Rogue, and in an instant, the flying sand and rocks, the thunder and rain seemed to be still, leaving only the unruly wind to roar in the streets of the town.
"What's going on!" Sherlock startled.
The wind was so fierce that Sherlock's whole body was blown away, and he slammed into a pillar next to him with a flying whirl, and suddenly felt that his eyes were black, and he almost fainted, Sherlock held back the pain, and his hands subconsciously hugged the pillar.
The fierce wind lasted for a long time before it disappeared, and then the torrential rain continued.
Luffy struggled to get up from the ground "What happened?" He touched the straw hat on his head and looked around, only to see the fragments of houses around him, Zoro and Sanji were lying next to him, and even Usopp in the sea was blown ashore by the strong wind.
"Hey, Luffy!" Nami's anxious shout was heard in the distance, Sanji looked at the direction of the wind, and said to Luffy, "Hurry up, the ship is going to be floated away!"
"Okay! Rubber rubber ......" Luffy quickly ran to a pillar next to him, grabbed it firmly, and then stretched out his hands, chanting a word, while showing a bright smile at the three people in the distance.
"Hey! Luffy. ”
"Wait!"
"I have a bad feeling."
Meanwhile.
When the wind stopped, Sherlock let go of the pillar and walked slowly forward as he stroked his aching forehead. He was already suffering from internal injuries, and he felt even more dizzy after this toss, so much so that he didn't realize that he was still in a state of invisibility.
"Bazooka!" Sherlock let out a familiar roar from behind him, followed by several terrible screams, and the source of the sound was getting closer and closer to him......
Sherlock's back was cold, and a strong sense of crisis rose in his heart, but unfortunately, he was knocked away by a strong force as he tried to make a dodge as he became extremely sluggish.
The blow to his back was made worse, and Sherlock felt that it was dark for a while, and he couldn't hold on any longer, so he fainted directly, and at the same time his figure was gradually revealed.
"This guy definitely has a bad taste for shooting living people out like slingshots!" "The three of Zoro who were flying in the air roared in their hearts, not even noticing that there was another victim for no reason.
The five men crossed a beautiful parabola in the air, and then landed firmly on the rear spinnaker of the Merry, and everyone landed safely. Well, probably.
Nami walked briskly, looking at Luffy and the others who were jumping around, and almost cried with joy.
"Everyone......" Nami just wanted to say something, but found a motionless man in black lying on the deck, and couldn't help but exclaim, "Hey, who is this person?!"
……
Smoker stood on the shore, the street behind him was in shambles under the baptism of the wind, and he watched the ship with the straw hat pirate flag gradually disappear on the sea, and his heart was very unwilling!
"Why are you doing this, Dorag!" Smoker asked the man on the roof
The corners of Dorag's mouth turned up slightly, "What reason is there to stop a man from running to the sea?"
“……”
Smoker was speechless, so he didn't pay any more attention to Dorag, but ordered the navy behind him, "Prepare to set sail and chase the Straw Hat Boy and the Sorcerer." ”
"Let's go to the Great Voyage!"
When the navy saw that Smoker wanted to leave this Rog Town, he reminded him, "But Colonel Smoker, this island is under your control, if your superiors come to ask, how should you answer?"
"Don't try to command me! Don't dictate me! ”
"I'm going too!" Dusty clenched his love knife to Shiyu, his expression was both angry and determined, "I can't forgive Roronoa, I must catch him with my own hands!"
In another port in Rogue Town, a group of pirates quietly set sail, and it was Bucky's gang who had escaped alive.
"This is a good opportunity," Bucky the Clown, with his big red nose on his head, looked at the thunderclouds and ordered his men, "Let's go to the great passage that is missed." ”
On the other side, on the lighthouse in Rogue Town, the mysterious woman walking with Dorag was standing proudly on the top of the lighthouse tower, not afraid of the electric snake dancing wildly overhead. She looked at the Golden Merry as it faded away, and was silent.
"Charlotte ......"
The mysterious woman made a dream-like sound, and then lifted her hood, revealing a beautiful silver hair like a dream, and at the same time, an invisible protective film appeared around her, and the storm disappeared within a meter of her body.
The long silver hair like a waterfall fluttered in the wind under the dark rain clouds, emitting a glittering streamer, just like the Milky Way in the sky falling to the mortal dust, which was breathtakingly beautiful.
(PS: This is the end of the East China Sea chapter, and Sherlock is finally on board, although he doesn't know it yet.) )
