Chapter 21: A Town Welcoming Pirates
As the Merry approached the island known as Whiskey Peak, the Straw Hats and the Straw Hats were able to see the island in its entirety.
The island is not large, and there are several cactus-like peaks on it, as if a potted cactus plant was enlarged and placed on the surface of the sea, which looks a little funny. The middle of the island is divided by a river, which seems to lead the boat inland to the island.
Approaching the shoreline, Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday greeted the crowd and said goodbye, then did a backflip, fell into the water in a dashing manner, and ran away quickly. Nami and Usopp shouted that there must be a conspiracy.
―Telescope.
Sherlock's mind moved, and the transparent lenses rippled, and after a few moments, a distant scene gradually appeared on them.
"The thorns on the cactus are all tombstones?! Sherlock pushed his glasses, and based on previous rumors and gathered information, he already had a rough idea of what this place was.
At this time, Nami was explaining the characteristics of the recording pointer to the rest of the people.
"In other words, even if there are monsters on this island, do we have to stay here for a while?" Usopp asked Nami with a frightened face, and after receiving an affirmative answer, his face turned even pale, and he grabbed his neck and exclaimed exaggeratedly, "Ah, no, I have a disease that can't go to the island!"
"Don't worry, Usopp, don't give up on treatment, the doctor on the island will cure you!" said the second cargo captain, the only one who had listened to the nonsense of a certain long-nosed man, with a concerned expression.
"Are you an idiot?!I said I couldn't go to the island......
Zoro glanced at the two who were arguing, and then said to Nami, "In short, we must be prepared to fight and escape. The latter nodded approvingly.
"Nami-san is protected by me!" by a cook who has returned to normal.
The Merry sailed along the canal to the interior of the island, and under the influence of the dense fog, the visibility was extremely poor, and the Straw Hats scattered around the ship, watching on guard.
Human voices could be faintly heard in the distance, and Usopp swallowed in fear, his legs trembling, and he could barely stand.
Moments later, the Merry made its way through the fog and suddenly cleared. It was a very ordinary town, and on the shore there was a large group of townspeople, holding banners aloft and shouting enthusiastically to the visitors from afar:
"Welcome to the Great Fairway, welcome to our town!"
"Long live the brave of the sea!"
"Ah, the brave man of the sea is so handsome!"
"It's actually a town that welcomes pirates?" Zoro let go of his grip on Kazuchi's words, looking at the scene in front of him in a bit of a daze.
"That's natural!" Usopp changed his timid appearance, as if the person who couldn't go to the island was cured, and he kissed the people on the shore, "Aren't pirates brave on the sea?"
"And there are a lot of beautiful young ladies...... "Sanji's right eye turned into a peach.
"Indeed, some people are still very welcoming to novice pirates like us," Sherlock looked at the enthusiastic townsfolk with a calm expression, and then silently said to himself, "Bounty hunters, for example." ”
……
The weather was clear and cloudless, and more than a dozen naval warships were slowly sailing on the calm sea, and on the main ship of the fleet, two old friends who had not seen each other for many years were catching up.
The captain's cabin of the main ship, filled with smoke.
"I didn't expect you to come to the Great Voyage like this, Tina was surprised. It was a beautiful female navy with long pale pink hair, her hands wearing black gloves, wearing a navy coat, and a fuchsia lavender's suit that accentuated her plump figure just right.
Tina sat on a chair with her legs crossed, then she took out a women's cigarette, lit it, and took a beautiful puff, the dashing movement that made the hearts of the two sailors beside her beat faster in vain.
If Luffy and his gang were here, they would have recognized the identities of these two sailors, who were the evil hypnotist Zangao who attacked Koya, and the former captain of the Navy Headquarters who was hanged by Sanji for wasting food at the sea restaurant Bharati. (If you're curious about why they're back under Tina, I'm going to see the One Piece title page serial.) )
"Didn't you see the expressions of those guys in the headquarters after hearing your message" Tina spat out and glanced at the man in front of her with a pair of wonderful eyes, "Also, who ran away from you, the white hunter?" ”
Smoker, who was holding two cigars, raised his eyebrows when he heard this, probably because he was poked in the sore spot by Tina, and Smoker's face was a little ugly. He stretched out his hand to the female navy behind him and said, "Dusty." ”
The natural female swordsman blinked, tilted her head, and looked at Smoker a little confused, as if she didn't understand what her own head meant.
"Bounty order, Straw Hat Boy and Sorcerer!" Smoker had a black line, extremely helpless about his stupid female subordinate.
The glasses lady looked suddenly enlightened, she quickly opened the package beside her, hurriedly took out two reward orders, and handed them over.
Tina took the bounty order and looked at it carefully: "Monchi D. Luffy, 30 million, a great newcomer." Well, this is not the ......."
This bounty is depicted on a handsome young man with black hair and black eyes, he wears a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, his eyes are very soft under the transparent lenses, his expression is calm and calm, and there is a smile on the corner of his mouth, which is extremely charming.
Written below is Thassarian Sherlock's bounty of 70 million Bailey
"I didn't expect that sorcerer who thundered the upper echelons of the navy to be so handsome. Tina looked at Sherlock on the bounty carefully, the corners of her mouth curled.
"Tina loves it!" As soon as Tina's half-joking words fell, two heartbreaking voices faintly came from behind her.
Indeed, if you look at the photo on the Sherlock bounty order, no matter how you look at it, others will think that this is just a polite and noble young man, and it is impossible to compare it with the sorcerer who is said to be extremely fierce and vicious.
"If you meet him, be careful of his abilities, it's tricky......" Smoker looked at his old friend with a stern expression.
The White Hunter carefully explained what he knew to Tinazai, and then he spat out his cigarette and asked, "Anyway, how did you get to this sea, if I remember correctly, this should be the range of sand crocodiles." ”
"I was just ordered to capture a group of pirates, the Hungry Wolf Pirates, and that leader is really ...... , forget it, let's not talk about business, let's talk about something else. Tina snuffed out her burned-out cigarette and began to chat with Smoker.
Dusty silently looked at the beautiful female navy who was chatting hotly with her own head officer, and couldn't help but think in her heart:
"Black Prison Tina, the colonel of the headquarters, is such a beautiful and powerful woman, when will I be like her?"
On the opposite side, Fenbudi and Zangao behind Tina stared at Sherlock's bounty on the table with red eyes.
"Straw Hat Kid...... And this abominable man with glasses, don't let me meet you!"
……
The night swallowed the last breath of the remnant sun, and the night was like a black curtain on the stage, slowly falling.
However, the feast at Whiskey Peak continues.
Eating the last piece of roast meat on the plate, Sherlock put down his knife and fork and just wanted to wipe his mouth, but a woman next to him took the lead, causing a wave of dissatisfaction among the girls around him.
"Come, wipe your mouth. The glamorous woman smiled sequely at Sherlock, and at the same time glanced at the plate stacked high in front of the eyed man, and she couldn't help but leave a drop of cold sweat, and she thought to herself, "This little brother with glasses is very handsome, and his manners are very elegant, but how can he eat it like this? I have never seen anything more edible than him!"
"Aha, Charlotte, this time it's me who won!" Luffy on the other side of the table let out a very smug laugh. At this time, Luffy gave full play to the ability of the rubber fruit, and ate his body into a round ball of meat, looking at him, it seemed that he could continue to fight with the food on the table.
"Well, their captain can eat more, aren't they really the rice bucket pirates?? The cooks are almost tired and fainting!" the beautiful woman complained weakly in her heart.
Sherlock pushed his glasses in pain, he felt that Luffy, a stupid thing, seemed to be worried that Sherlock, a new partner, would steal his glorious and great title of "the first foodie of the Straw Hat Pirates", so he worked hard every time he ate, and he had to compete with Sherlock to see who ate more.
Well, maybe Luffy used to like to compete with others about who ate more, but Zoro and the others couldn't compete with him at all.
In the distance, Sanji was stuck in the pile of women. Usopp stood on a high platform and rushed to the group to tell the stories that Sherlock had heard many times, but each version was different.
Sauron may have drunk too much and slept on the table. But next to him, Nami, a seemingly weak woman, is extremely bold and competing with a black-faced nun for the championship of the Cheers Competition, and it seems that the power of 100,000 Bailey is really not small.
"Nene, handsome guy, why don't you drink?~" A beautiful woman sitting next to Sherlock leaned over like Sherlock and poured him a large glass of wine.
Sherlock shifted his body slightly to distance himself from the beautiful woman, and smiled, "I can't drink, because something terrible will happen to me after drinking." ”
This is true, Sherlock is almost drunk when he gets drunk, and according to the description of Anna and several other henchmen a few years ago, President Sherlock's wine is surprisingly poor, and Sherlock has never drunk again.
However, sometimes no one believes the truth, and the beauties around them laugh coquettishly, and they are not discouraged, and they do their best to Sherlock, or give benefits, or coquettish, or sell cute, in short, they have to get drunk Sherlock.
Sherlock smiled at this and turned his head to look out the window. Tonight, the stars are shining, a bright moon is hanging high, and the giant cactus in the distance is like a dream under the bright moonlight, which is very beautiful.
"After tonight, I don't know how many people will never be able to see such a night sky again. Sherlock sighed, then picked up his glass and drank it all to the cheers of the beauties around him......
