The forest was very large and lush, so dense that Shanks could not distinguish between the east and the west, and added a lot of trouble to them, and along the way, large and small beasts, in short, it was very hard to find the captain's way.

Just as Bucky was about to give up and sit down to rest, a blue shadow fell and stopped on a branch.

It's a big blue bird.

When Arka saw it, he was silent for a moment and asked, "Fat chicken?" ”

"......" The bird perched on the tree glanced at Arka with the eyes of a dead fish, and the expression was like to say: Are you a bad pen? But I don't care about you.

"How can it be a chicken, he can fly!" Bucky was finally able to catch his breath, but at the same time he spat out Alka's words.

"Then the fat bird, so fat." Shanks stared at the branches curled up like a ball of birds, silently raising his arm to wipe the saliva from the corners of his mouth.

“… Didn't you just eat it? A drop of sweat broke out of Bucky's forehead.

"Inspired by feelings." Shanks said innocently, "Don't you think it's meaty? Eating the rattling ......"

'Huh'

Before Shanks could finish speaking, a pebble flew over, and he turned his head to avoid it, and turned his head to look at the chicken they were talking about, ah, no, it was a fat bird.

The dead fish's eyes looked at them listlessly, and the beak moved: "Hey, little ghost......"

"Wow!!! The fat bird has become a sperm!! Bucky was the first to scream calmly.

Fat Bird Marco burst out of a tic-tac-toe on his forehead, and he could bear it once or twice, but three or four times, sorry, he was angry.

Marka tried hard to suppress the anger in his heart, and secretly warned himself not to be like a little ghost.

In fact, he's just a little older than them.

"Daddy asked me to tell you that this forest is very dangerous at night, and if you still want to live, leave before it gets dark."

"Daddy? The uncle who just came to us to eat and drink and dig into the corner? Shanks blinked, and he looked at Marco in the tree, his eyes clear.

“…… Yes. A drop of sweat fell from Marco's forehead, and he thought to himself: Daddy's old problem has been committed again.

"What will happen to the woods at night?" Alka to no matter who and whom, asked a more concerned question.

This question drew Marco's gaze to the imp who said he was a chicken.

“…… will turn into a desert. Marco said in a low voice: "It is rumored that this island is divided into two worlds, a vibrant forest and a barren and corrupt desert, every night, the moon rises high in the sky, the night island will awaken, and the demons living in the desert will strayed into the island to be eaten alive." ”

The forest was very quiet, except for the sound of the wind blowing the trees, it was Marko's flat voice, which made Bucky have a layer of goosebumps.

"Hey! You—You're just talking about a fairy tale that tricks a three-year-old child!? Bucky rubbed his arms, vaguely inclined to blow up.

"There are still twelve hours left before it gets dark and the moon rises in the sky." Instead of answering Bucky's question, Marco told them you could try.

"The message I want to convey has been told to you, and the rest is up to you." After Marco finished his father's task, he flapped his wings and prepared to fly away, when Arka, who was in deep thought, suddenly spoke:

"How do you know?"

"We're here because of legends." Marco glanced at the aging Arka.

"Hello, be careful, demons can't be killed......" Arka looked at Marko, his gray-blue eyes flashed slightly: "But, everything will have a fatal landing point, right?" It's a bit similar to humans. ”

Marco flew away because what he had conveyed was something strange, and the guide had forgotten the fact that he was a bird.

And Marco, who was flying high in the air, flapped his wings slightly, recalling what Arka had said.

…… There are quirks.

But I can't think of where the weirdness is, so I can only hide this weirdness in my heart.

"Now, what now, Arka ......" Bucky, who was frightened by Marco's intelligence, subconsciously looked for Arka and saw her standing next to the tree where Marco had just stood.

She reached out and stroked the stalk of the rough bark.

"What's wrong, Arka." Shanks stepped forward and looked at the tree, but he didn't find anything strange, so he asked Alka.

"It's a quartz tree...... Arka's eyes twinkled, she withdrew her hand, turned her head sideways, and said to Shanks and Bucky, "Captain is in the southeast direction." ”

"Huh? Alka, do you know the location of the captain? Bucky was a little surprised.

"Well, it's too late to find it now." Arka said to them as he took a step forward before being grabbed by the wrist.

It was Shanks, who grabbed Alka's wrist, and in his black eyes there was Alka's figure, small, but rooted in it.

"Arka, where are you going?"

Shanks asked, a little uncertain and apprehensive.

His instincts had always been the best and most effective of the three.

"Check it out." Arka looked at Shanks, broke free of his hand, and disappeared in front of Shanks's eyes in the blink of an eye, a speed they couldn't capture at the moment.

Shanks looked at his empty hands and clenched them violently, he thought to himself that he hadn't tried hard enough!

"Hey, Shanks, are you alright?" Bucky asked with some concern as he looked at Shanks.

"Do you really like ......?"

"Bucky, let's go find the captain!"

Shanks interrupted Bucky, and Bucky had to shut up.

On the other side, Arka leaped rapidly through the trees, his eyes looking for something.

Quartz Tree ...... More than one plant.

It was slowly dark, and somewhere in the forest, there was a fiery red light, and from time to time there was the sound of scolding and frolicking.

"Heh—he's a pirate too?!!"

Bucky stood in Roger's camp, and his jaw of shock turned his finger at the uncle sitting on the other end, the uncle who had robbed them of their flesh and was going to dig into their corner, and there were several people behind him, a dozen or so.

The two sides are evenly matched.

The atmosphere is also slightly eerie.

"Hahahaha, it's an old comrade!!" Roger sat cross-legged on the floor, giggling and laughing, as he picked up the jar and took a big sip before throwing it to Whitebeard.

"Kulalala, you're still so shameless, Roger!" Whitebeard smiled and took the wine he tossed, and drank it with his head held high, which was in line with what Roger said.

Just when Bucky breathed a sigh of relief, the other party suddenly said:

"We're mortal enemies, kulaala!"

Hearing this, Bucky immediately exploded, and his eyes looked at Whitebeard vigilantly, making a vigilant gesture.

This elicited Whitebeard's laughter.

"You're really lucky to step on shit, and you've got a couple of nice guys."

This disguised compliment made Roger complacent: "That's, I'm going to be the man of One Piece......"

"How about giving me that girl of yours?" Whitebeard was accustomed to Roger's boasting, and indifferently interrupted Roger's words.

"No way!"

"Don't!"

Two voices sandwiched together.

It's Roger and Shanks.

"She's my crew!"

"She's my companion!"

Again, the voices of the two overlapped.

It looks like a tacit fit.

Whitebeard was not angry when he was rejected, and he smiled kulalala: "Then you have to be careful. ”

The eyes of the three of them met, and thunder and lightning crackled.

A drop of cold sweat broke out on Malka's forehead behind Whitebeard, and Daddy's bad taste was really enough.

At the same time, he raised his head and looked at Banxuanyue, who was about to rise to the center.

Reilly, who was the vice-captain, also looked up, and they had gotten the news that they had gotten through the mouths of the two imps.

Reilly smoked a cigarette and had a headache, and every time he got off the boat, he always encountered something strange, but it was also in line with their interests.

"How accurate is the message?" He jumped over the three men who were glaring at each other and asked Marco, one of Whitebeard's right-hand men.

"Who knows, it's just a legend, aren't the pirates here for legends?" Marco repeated blandly, and he withdrew his gaze to look at Reilly, his eyes still staring at each other with the same lifelessness.

'Whew~'

Reilly slowly exhaled the cigarette from his mouth, obscuring his view, and gave the two men on their side a cigarette stick.

"Stop making a fuss, what about the Arka people?"

I hadn't seen Arka in the morning, which was rare.

Asked like this, Shanks, who was covering his head, was obviously at a low ebb, and he said sullenly: "Arka went to investigate first." ”

This low tide is rare to see, Reilly raised his eyebrows, and didn't mind dismantling Shanks's stage in front of outsiders: "Dumped? ”

"It's at least a boyfriend and girlfriend relationship, Reilly." Bucky spat on the side.

Then he was beaten up by Shanks.

"Arka will be fine, she's strong." Shanks clenched his smoking fist and smiled, with lilies blooming behind him.

This kind of special effect makes others selectively ignore it.

"The moon is starting to round."

In the midst of everyone, Stark raised his head and watched the half-moon in the sky slowly turn round.

"Huh?"

Marco on the other side was suddenly startled, and his eyes looked into the distance, where there was a person standing.

"The imp?" He whispered.

Shanks and the others looked over, and sure enough, it was Arka who was standing.

She held her head up slightly, staring at the fading moon, the cold moonlight that emitted made Arka reach out......

The moon was full, the wind was blowing, and the wind was blowing sand.

The forests were gone, and they miraculously appeared in the endless desert.

"Arka ......?"

Shanks' eyes widened as he looked at the man standing on the slope.

Alka, who was not far away, seemed to be aware of the past, and it was too obvious that at this time, without the cover of trees, it was difficult to find it.

The wind blew, and the white wide-sleeved robe agitated.

Arka reached out and touched his right eye, the cold bone texture, and then removed his hand again, and touched the exposed abdomen, which had a void hole that ran through the abdomen.

Ah, the quality of the void has returned.
