Chapter 65: Something More Important Than Treasure

"Found it! There are five treasure chests!"

Luffy appeared in everyone's sight with a golden treasure chest, the scorching sun above his head, but it was pitch black under the brim of his hat, making it impossible to see his face clearly

"Dry... Well done!" the uncle couldn't believe what he heard, and stood up stiffly, not even making him so happy when he came out of the box just now

[Am I going to become a rich man soon!]

"Hahaha, it's finally here, it's a treasure!!!

"Throw them down, throw them down, and show me our treasure!"

"Ahahahaha, hurry up!"

"Don't!"

Luffy grinned, still grinning, hugging the treasure chest tightly and looking at the uncle below

"What!"

"I said no, I don't want to give it to you, haha!"

Luffy raised his eyebrows, and his smug look became even more obvious, like a villain who had won the will, grinning and grinning

"What nonsense are you talking about! stop kidding!" Nami's eyes flashed with disappointment, and she clenched her fists, her eyes wide open

"That's it, that's a treasure that Uncle has guarded for twenty years!" Usopp gritted his teeth, his nose crooked in anger

"Throw it all down for me!"

"Hmph..."

Kirby and Zoro looked at each other and smiled, and shrugged their shoulders in unison

"I said..."Luffy's hat brim was lowered, and the boy lowered his head, trying to keep his expression invisible to the people below, letting his short black hair fly in the wind

"Don't..."

"Forget it!" the uncle finally saw something, and hung his head, just like Luffy, holding his forehead with his hand but laughing

"Enough is enough, haha. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"How can you forget it!" Nami looked at her uncle in surprise, waving her hands incessantly

"That's it!" said Usopp repeatedly, "That's the treasure you've been guarding for twenty years, uncle!

The uncle ignored the two, the corners of his curved mouth trembled and trembled, and finally he couldn't help whimpering, "Straw hat boy..."

"You... You're such a good manβ€”!"

The uncle raised his head suddenly, and the tears had already soaked into the man's eyes, and they were sliding down the uncle's dark face

"What... What do you mean" Nami looked at her uncle in confusion, her face full of puzzlement

"I've already felt it vaguely, maybe that's it..."The uncle grinned, smirking with tears in his eyes

"I've tried not to think about it, but..."

"There's nothing in there, Straw Hat Boy!"

"Hmph..."Luffy also seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, and sat on the ground holding the box, the box that looked heavy just now was like air in Luffy's hands, and he didn't feel any weight

"What!" Usopp and Nami were taken aback, and both reacted

It's no wonder that Luffy was able to carry such a heavy oil barrel that day, so how could he be struggling just now

"Ah......h

"Empty, all - all empty. ”

"How could it be..."

"The treasure that has been guarded for twenty years is all empty... Uncle, you..."

Nami looked at her uncle worriedly, such a thing, whoever has his turn, will not be able to stand it

"The treasures on the treasure map are usually like this...", the uncle had already stopped his tears and said with emotion

"When I arrived, I found out that the treasure had been stolen or something... Treasure hunting is such a test for pirates..."

"I've waited for a lifetime, even at the cost of my life, but I still can't find the treasure, there are too many such pirates, and I don't have one more, haha!"

"Hahahahaha!!"

The uncle laughed cheerfully, but someone laughed louder than him, and Luffy rolled over and got up from the ground, followed by a big jump and jumped down

Boom!

The huge impact is completely offset by the characteristics of the eraser, and I have to say, as a rubber man, this is good

"Don't think about it, uncle!" Luffy slapped his hand on the uncle's shoulder and laughed

"Fortunately, we are here after only twenty years, if it is thirty years later, you may have already died, uncle!"

"Hahaha, you're right!" Uncle was obviously happier than Luffy had imagined, and hooked Luffy's neck with one hand

"I don't know I'm guarding an empty box until I die, it's scary to think about, ahaha..."

"That's right, uncle!" Luffy suddenly thought of something, his eyes stared at his uncle, and the corners of his mouth grinned

"You've already fallen on such a big one, and then all that's left is 'OnePiece'!"

"How about you go with us to be a pirate again!"

"You..."

With tears in his eyes, the uncle tried not to cry out loud, and looked at Luffy excitedly

"Are you inviting me?"

"You're so young, woo woo ......"

"There are many people who don't want to talk to me when they see me before, but you... But you... Woooooooo

The uncle's hands kept carrying tears, and his loose face was rubbed and deformed

"I don't know how many years I haven't experienced what it's like to trust someone else......"

"Thank you, thank you. ”

Coastside

Uncle is saying his final goodbye to Luffy and his party

"Have you really figured it out, uncle?"

Nami stood on the shore with her hands behind her back, her head tilted on one foot

"Don't you need us to send you out?"

"Ah~ah!" the uncle grinned, sat behind a strange rhinoceros elephant, and waved his hand to everyone

"I've already figured it out!"

"Although I don't have any treasures, I still have more important things that I want to protect..."

The uncle is surrounded by all kinds of strange creatures, just as I saw at the beginning, panda bats, rabbit snakes, hippo deer, each one is stranger than the other

No one knows where they came from, but they are just cute creatures, and they have little desire to attack humans, so in this little island, Uncle is their patron saint, and once they leave these children, even Uncle himself will not be happy

"I've been with them for twenty years, but I can't leave them," the uncle stroked the snake's head, and the little one shook his head for a while

Hiss ~~~

"I didn't feel a wave of freedom until today..."

"Thank you, Luffy. ”

"I can already foresee a truly mine, free life in the future. ”

...

"Goodbye! everyone!"

"Goodbye!
