The battle of the whiskey peaks
The Merry entered the Whiskey Peak along a river leading inland to Whiskey Peak, but the expected wariness and hostility of the locals did not materialize. Instead, it was warmly welcomed by the residents.
"Welcome to the Great Voyage."
"Welcome to our town."
"Welcome to the Passionate Whiskey Peaks."
The banks of the river were filled with residents who warmly welcomed everyone, and the people on the boat were also unaware of the unreasonable half of the day in front of them. "They're welcoming us, pirates?" Long Fei asked hesitantly
"If that's right, we're welcome." Zoro said
"It's really a big forest, there are all kinds of birds, but there must be demons when things go wrong, be careful of Zoro, I feel that this town is not simple." Long Fei whispered beside Zoro.
"Yes, I know, I'll keep an eye on it."
After the group came down from the Merry, an uncle with curly hair on his head came out and introduced himself, "My name is Ikalem, and I'm the mayor of Whiskey Peak. β
"My name is Luffy, please advise. Old man, your hair is too curly. β
"This is the peak of whisky that is rich in wine and music, and we are most proud of the things we are most proud of, so let your adventures be a drink and enjoy this feast. What do you think? Icalem didn't care about Luffy's complaints about his hairstyle.
"Delightfully." Luffy, Sanji and Usopp
"Three fools, by the way, how much time will it take for this island to be recorded." Nami hasn't forgotten what to do
"Records? Don't worry about the hard work, let's go and relax first, let's prepare a banquet and party for the adventurers. Ikalem said and dragged Nami to the party.
"They're so welcoming, aren't they?" The dragon flew to Zoro on the side and said
"Ahh
"But I always feel that they seem to be a little too enthusiastic, if this is a place that is isolated from the world and has not seen a single outsider for a few years, then it is not an exaggeration for them to be so enthusiastic, but this is one of the starting points of the seven routes of the Great Voyage, there should be pirates who often come here, so the enthusiasm they show now is a bit abnormal, and the mayor seems to be deliberately pulling away Nami's problem, it seems that this town is indeed very problematic."
"So what do you do now?" Zoro felt that what Long Fei said was very reasonable
"Let's wait and see, I'd love to know what kind of medicine they're selling in their gourd."
At night, there was a burst of joy in the tavern of Whiskey Mountain, the banquet held by the townspeople for Long Fei and others was going on, Usopp was telling half-truths and half-truths about adventures, Sanji was picking up girls, Luffy's theme was never without eating, and in the end it should be that he ate too much, but he fell to the ground with a big belly, and there were two chefs who were tired and fainted together, Nami and Zoro were in a drinking competition, and Nami was not going to participate, But after hearing Ikalem say that the last person to fall can get a prize of 100,000 Bailey, he immediately came to his senses.
Long Fei sat on the side with a glass of juice and quietly watched the carnival crowd, Long Fei has always liked quiet, and he didn't like this lively atmosphere, he felt that it was too noisy. At this time, Ikalem put a glass of wine in front of Long Fei: "This little brother, why is he sitting here alone and having a drink." β
"Oh, no, I'm not very good at drinking." Long Fei postponed
"Don't worry, it's a special drink made from the finest grapes that make the finest wine, and the flavor is the same as that of wine, but without alcohol at all."
After listening to Ikalem's words, Long Fei took a sip of the wine glass in front of him, and found that what Ikalem said about the lack of alcohol was completely deceitful, but it was relatively lower than the usual ale. It's not easy to get intoxicated, it's similar to wine, Long Fei drank a large glass of wine in his hand and exhaled and said: "Huh, this wine is not bad, it's not easy to get intoxicated, uh, why do you suddenly feel a little hot on your face." Before Long Fei finished speaking, the strength of the wine came up, and those who had read the original book knew how big the wine glass was in the pirates, it was like a small wine barrel. And Long Fei's alcohol consumption was already very poor, and after such a big glass of wine, he immediately got drunk. And the final winner of the drinking contest was Nami. Eventually, the overexcited crowd fell asleep.
Just as everyone fell asleep, Ikalem, who had been enthusiastic, instantly changed color. This is not a town that welcomes pirates at all, but a gathering place for bounty hunters, and the reason why Ikalem will take out the town's already small food to hold a banquet to entertain everyone is because Ikalem knows Luffy's bounty and wants to paralyze everyone and lower everyone's vigilance, so that Luffy can be captured alive when everyone is asleep, because the dead man's bounty will be less than 30%. And Mr. 9, who ran away earlier, also appeared here.
Ikalem's plan is good, 3 of the six fools in the Straw Hat Pirates have been recruited, and the remaining 3 have not believed them since the beginning. Just as Ikalem was about to make a move on Luffy, a voice suddenly sounded: "Hey, I'm sorry, let them sleep well, it's very tiring to sail during the day." Several people who heard the sound were shocked, and when they turned to look, they found a man sitting on the roof of a house, and it was Sauron. At this moment, several people came out of the house and said to Ikalem, "Mr. 8, Miss Mondey, the man who helped the belly pocket and the man who was like a woman ran away at some point. β
"Aren't you drunk?" Ikalem asked as he looked at Zoro with a gloomy expression.
"As a swordsman, you won't be stupid at any time."
At this time, Xu Du bubbles suddenly floated in the field, and everyone looked in the direction where the bubbles came out and found that Long Fei was sitting on the roof of another building at the moment and blowing bubbles boringly.
"Yo, Long Fei, I didn't expect you to be drunk." Zoro said to Long Fei, but as soon as he finished speaking, he found that Long Fei looked at him with an idiotic gaze, "At any time, anywhere, you must always maintain a certain vigilance, and get drunk in a completely strange place, then you don't even know how you died, by the way, what kind of people are these, one by one, dancing with knives and swords, murderous.?"
"This is the den of bounty hunters, and they are all bounty hunters."
"Bounty hunter, your former colleague. In this way, their target is Luffy. β
"Yes, and they're no ordinary pirates, are they, Baroque Workshops."
"Baroque work club?"
When Sauron said the name of the Baroque Workshop, the faces of the Ikalem immediately changed: "Why do you know the name of our company. β
"When I was doing this kind of thing before, your company wanted to poach me, but of course I refused. The members of the company don't know each other's details in the company, and they only use code names, and the location and true face of the boss are of course also a mystery, a criminal group that implements orders by loyal ministers. Baroque work community. It's a secret, isn't it. β
"Oh. It's so mysterious, and I'm now interested in this Baroque workshop. But now that you've told the secret, then according to the development of the plot, they should kill us. β
"I'm really surprised, but now that I know our secret, I'll have to kill you, and there will be two more tombstones on the cactus." Ikalem said in a deep voice.
Hearing Ikalem's words, Zoro and Long Fei moved the realization to the cactus, only to find that the thorns that they thought were actually tombstones.
"Are you sure you only need to add two more tombstones to the cactus, hey, Zoro, are these guys you here or me?"
"Leave it to me, just to pass the time when you're bored."
"Oh, then you play slowly, I'll see how Nami Nami is doing."
"Huh? The woman wasn't drunk either, so why did she go. β
"I'll pretend to be the same for you, and now I'm going to do my old job." Long Fei finished speaking and left.
"Alright, there should be 100 bounty hunters here, I'll accompany you."
As soon as Ikalem gave the order to attack, he found that Sauron, who was still on the roof, had disappeared, and while all the bounty hunters were looking for Sauron, Sauron had already appeared among them, and Sauron began to crush them unilaterally. On the other side, Nami, who had already gotten up, was sweeping the room: "There is only such a little treasure, this is a bounty hunter's lair, Whiskey Mountain is really a poor and sour place." At this time, Long Fei walked in just in time to hear Nami's complaining and said, "That's natural, if they're rich, they don't need to pay attention to Rab, but I did find a lot of Bailey." As he spoke, he brought a box to Nami. Hearing Long Fei say that Bailey had been found, Nami immediately took the box in Long Fei's hand and opened it with bright eyes, only to see a box full of Bailey, with a preliminary estimate of about 56,000. "Where did you find it?" and "Found it in a separate room." "Of course, these money are not found as Long Fei said, these are Long Fei's own private money, you must know that Long Fei is a real local tyrant, Long Fei mainly doesn't want Nami to be disappointed, so he took out these Bailey to make Nami happy, who made Nami his quasi-fiancΓ©e now.
When Long Fei and Nami walked out of the room, they heard a sudden continuous explosion in the direction of Zoro before. Long Fei frowned, "It's strange, aren't there just some bounty hunters, why did you make such a big move, Nami, you are here now, I'll go over and see Zoro." β
"Yes, I see."
When Dragonfly arrived in the war zone, he saw that the former mayor Ikalem was lying on the ground, while Zoro was sitting on the side. So he asked, "What's the matter, Zoro is making such a big move." β
"I don't know, it seems that there are two people from their side, but there is a fight on both sides, and that is pretty much it."
"Although I don't understand what's going on, it's better to take everyone out of here as soon as the matter is resolved, so as not to cause any trouble."
But just as the two were about to leave, Ikalem, who had fallen to the ground, reached out and grabbed one of Sauron's feet.
"What are you doing, let it go."
"Lord Swordsman, seeing that your strength is so strong, let me have a reluctant request." Instead of letting go of Zoro's feet, Icalem made a request.
"Don't hold on to me, who cares about you, let go." Zoro
"Because both of them have the ability of Devil Fruits, I really can't parry, so please protect the princess for me, okay?"
"I refuse." Long Fei and Zoro said at the same time
"Whoever wants to get involved in these things between you, Zoro, leave him alone, let's leave quickly, I have a hunch, if we don't leave, we will have a bunch of trouble." Long Fei
"If you can safely escort the princess back to the kingdom of Alabastan, the distant eastern kingdom, you will definitely be given a great reward. Please, save the princess. Seeing that Zoro and Long Fei were unwilling to help, Ikalem only wanted to lure them in.
"What are you kidding, you tried to kill us just now, I'm cutting you once" It's a pity that Sauron was unmoved in the face of Ikalem's temptation.
"Is the great reward you said true?" That's when Nami's voice rang out from the side.
Hearing Nami's words, Long Fei stroked his forehead with his hand and sighed, "It's over." β
