Chapter 316: Fifty Years
"Hmph..."
The woman suddenly pulled up her coat and pulled out a spear from behind her, the barrel of which was almost as tall as hers, and looked different from ordinary muskets, and seemed to be a heavy weapon.
"Even if you say that, we can't just go back. ”
The woman's face was as calm as water, and she carried the thick and long barrel of the gun with one hand.
"That's right!" the man pulled out a spear, just like the heavy one in the woman's hand, and raised it with a sinister smile.
They seemed to know that this was inside the whale, and it would be easy to kill the whale from the inside.
"Our mission is to kill this whale, and it has nothing to do with you, stinky old man!"
The two of them didn't say a word, and at the same time raised their guns, carrying them on their shoulders, and the muzzle of the black hole was pointed directly at the mural in the sky.
"Look at me with a big hole in its stomach haha!"
"Ready, baby!"
“OK!”
Bang bang!
The muzzle of the gun erupted in flames, and two black buckshot bullets were fired at the same time, aiming directly at the whale's inner wall.
"Damn!"
The old man's eyebrows were mixed together, and almost without thinking about it, he pounced on the jumping platform and directly blocked the lead bullet with his body.
Bang bang!
The ammunition exploded directly in the old man's chest, making a huge roar, but Abyss's figure disappeared directly on the deck, and Ning Kong caught the old man.
Smack.
Abyss put the coughing old man on the iron plate of the high platform, and without saying a word, he jumped back from the high platform, glanced at the two of them lightly on the way, and continued to close his eyes and recuperate.
"Over to you, Kirby. ”
"Yes. Kirby nodded slightly, and she could feel that Ablis was a little angry.
[If you let this aunt go crazy, it will be troublesome...]
Kirby shook his head and walked over to the two of them.
...
"Hiss——!"
Mr. 9 and Miss Wednesday glanced at each other, and both saw surprise in each other's eyes, but Ablis stopped and reassured the two of them.
"Hahaha!" the man chuckled dryly, clasping his hands to his chest as if he had done a great feat, "stop fearless resistance, old man!"
"That's it!" the woman echoed, "If you want to stop it, stop it again!"
"This whale is destined to be the food of our town!"
"Hey, you guys!"
Before Kirby could make a move, Luffy's figure had already appeared behind the two.
Whoosh!
Luffy's arms suddenly stretched out and grabbed the heads of the two.
"Give me enough time!"
Bang!
"You..."
The man only had time to say a word, and his face was heavily attached to the woman's face, and the two collided and collapsed on the ground.
"I always feel like I want to beat them!" Luffy looked resentful, as if he was still thinking about the reason for beating people, and the old man looked at Luffy who made a move, his eyes were a little dazed.
...
Ten minutes later
"Don't! I said no!" Miss. Wednesday scolded as she looked at Sanji with a plate of food with a disgusted expression.
The woman's left cheek was red and swollen, and it seemed that the collision just now was indeed not light, and at this time, the two were tied together, back to back, and thrown on the island.
Everyone stood in front of the two of them, looking at the old man who was panting, not knowing what to do.
"So, what the hell are you doing in this whale's body?"
"Hmph..."The old man didn't talk about himself, but pointed to the two who were tied up.
"They are scoundrels in the nearby towns, and they want the meat of this whale, after all, if they catch Rab, they will not have to worry about food for about two or three years. ”
Nami: "Rab?"
"Ahh That's its name, it's the island whale, it's the largest whale in the world, which inhabits the West Sea. ”
Because the poacher was caught, the old man seemed very happy, and said to everyone while gesturing.
"How can such a guy let it become food..."
The old man looked up at the mural.
"There's a reason why it keeps hitting the Red Earth Continent and yelling at the Upside Down Mountain..."
Nami: "Why?"
"Ahhh
"It's... It's an emotional whale..."
"It's been waiting for a bunch of pirates..."
Nami: "Pirates?"
"Listen carefully——!" Seeing everyone's interest, the old man sat up straight and said with a serious face.
"Rab's story. ”
...
Half an hour later.
Everyone nodded thoughtfully.
"In other words, Rab was so grumpy just waiting for a group of pirates who raised him as a child?"
"Ahh That's right..."The old man didn't know when, he had already taken out a bottle of rum, and there was a small sip without a sip, and there was a look of nostalgia in his eyes.
"They agreed that after two years, they would come back and bring Rab home, but they didn't expect that this trip would be fifty years..."
"Fifty years!"
"How can this be!"
"That's why it keeps screaming, it's going to hit the continent with its head, is it trying to reach the other side?"
"Ahh That's right—" the old man sighed again.
"The truth is cruel, they will never come back, because by the time I inquire about the exact news, its owner has long since fled the great voyage..."
"Escape from the Great Voyage!" the crowd could not help but exclaim.
"Do they have a way to cross the windless belt?!" Nami grasped the point.
You must know that on both sides of the parallel line of the Great Voyage, there are windless belts where the Sea Kings gather, and if you want to pass through such a harsh environment, in addition to resisting the almost endless Sea Kings, the more important point is that ordinary ships cannot sail in it at all.
On the sea, a sailboat without the wind is like a bird without wings, and even if it can be glided with a pulp, it is only a temporary measure, and it is impossible to sail far, let alone cross the windless zone.
"Ahh I don't know, but even if they're alive, I'm afraid they won't come back here. The old man said with a calm face and a serious face.
"In this sea where the season, the weather, the currents, and the wind are all messed up, and all common sense is useless—the Great Route. Its horror will quickly occupy people's fragile hearts. ”
"So... They're probably—" The old man said no more, but just poured his wine one after another, as if he wanted to use it to kill his sorrows.
"Are you saying that those fragile fellows ran away from here in defiance of the agreement in order to save their lives?" Sanji, who was holding a plate, suddenly stood up and gritted his teeth.
Usopp: "Did they just abandon this whale? It waited for them for 50 years! 50 years!"
"It's too much!"
"You know it all, why don't you tell it?" said Abyss, walking up to the old man, frowning.
"Doesn't it understand what you're saying?"
"It's useless!" the old man suddenly became excited, and his hand holding the bottle trembled.
"I've said it a long time ago, without reservations!"
"But it never believed it, the more I dissuaded, the louder it screamed, until later, it would yell at the mountain wall every day, it couldn't stop it, and it would hit the Red Earth Continent with its body!"
"You're the one who was deceived. Sanji suddenly spoke up and spat out a heavy puff of his cigarette.
"Didn't they let you take care of Rab, and you were deceived too, in that case..."
"Ahh That's true, but look at the scars on its head. ”
The old man laughed suddenly, as if remembering the days he spent with Rab.
"If I don't care, it will die on the Red Earth Continent sooner or later, although it seems a little incredible, but I have been with it for fifty years... How could I watch it die? ”
"Well... Never mind. The old man smiled lightly.
"Anyway, I'll get you out first. ”
