Chapter Twenty-Three: The Monkey? Apes?
"I'm really not motivated." Li Ziming felt the gentle sea breeze and looked at Luffy and the others lying on the boat.
"Really, if only I had said I would just kidnap her." Zoro said with a fierce expression.
"Wow, barbarian!"
"Poor!"
"Green algae head!"
"Three Knife Streams!"
"Hey, Sandaoliu is not a curse!"
"Four Knife Streams!"
"It won't matter if you add a knife!" Usopp seemed to have turned on the spit mode, "Isn't there a stinky natto, let him stink to death in natto." β
"Alright, alright, you will cry until you die." Zoro has completely convinced these guys.
"It's really changed." Robin laughed at a group of people playing with treasure.
"Beautiful young lady, please taste my latest juice." Sanji came to Robin's side with a cup.
"Thank you, Sanji-kun." Robin laughed and almost took Sanji's soul away.
"Oooh, Miss Robin is so cute!" Sanji's face is full of pig brother-like appearance.
"Tick." "Tick."
"Is it raining?" Zoro said suspiciously, but it was still a sunny day.
"No, it looks like something has fallen terribly, everyone prepare to protect the ship!" Li Ziming stepped into the moon and rose into the sky and came to the sky directly above the Merry.
"Heavenly..."Luffy was stunned.
"Drop a galleon!" Nami said incredulously.
"How is that possible!" Chopper felt that he must not have woken up to see such a crazy scene.
"Now is not the time to discuss the impossible, hurry up the boat, I'll blow up the big pieces of debris, and I'll hand over the small pieces to you!" While Li Ziming was speaking, the boat had already arrived in front of Li Ziming.
"Don't!" Li Ziming was about to activate his ability, but in the next second, Nami's words made Li Ziming's movements pause, and then Li Ziming was directly smashed into the sea by the boat.
"Nami, I..." Li Ziming spat out bubbles and sank into the sea.
"Nami, what are you doing!" Luffy shouted in panic and quickly prepared to jump.
"What are you going to do?" Zoro grabbed Luffy, "You're also a capable person, I'll save people!" After saying that, Zoro jumped down to save Li Ziming, Luffy and Usopp ran to the wreckage to take risks, and Robin stayed on the ship and began to examine some debris, hoping to get some information about the wreckage.
"Nami, can you tell me why you called it a stop?" Li Ziming was rescued and looked at Nami quite dissatisfied.
"Are you stupid?" Nami's eyes turned to Bailey's, "There may be treasure on this wreckage, what if you get hurt by your explosion!" Nami's appearance looked even angrier than Li Ziming, and she directly suppressed Li Ziming with her momentum.
Li Ziming wanted to say something, but he didn't know what to say when he looked at Nami's natural face.
"Look what I've found!" Usopp triumphantly pulled out a map.
"This is a map of the Sky Island?" Robin was a little surprised, he didn't expect to be able to find something like a map of the Sky Island.
"Alright, let's head for Sky Island! Turn the rudder up! "Luffy's captain's temperament is on full display at this moment.
"You idiot!" Nami applied Nami's iron fist to him, "How is the ship going to rise!" β
"But doesn't that mean the Sky Island is in the air?" Luffy said with his head covered.
"But our ship can't fly." Li Ziming said helplessly, "So if we want to go to the empty island, we can only think of other ways." β
"Is there really an empty island?" Nami shook her wrist vigorously, "Could it be that the pointer is broken?" β
"In the great waterway, never doubt the record pointer, and if you doubt, doubt your common sense." Robin said sternly, "There must be an island in the place where the record pointer is pointing!" β
"The empty island is real." Li Ziming suddenly spoke, "Legend has it that there are countless treasures on it, and there is a bell made entirely of gold, as well as the historical text on the bell. β
Li Ziming's words can be said to have completely attracted the attention of everyone present, and even Robin looked at Li Ziming in disbelief.
"Historical text?"
"Gold?" Nami came to Li Ziming's side excitedly, "Then how are we going to go to Sky Island?" β
"I don't know." The three words that Li Ziming said with a smile almost broke Nami.
"I don't know if you're talking about a ghost!" Nami was ready to impose Nami's iron fist sanctions on Li Ziming the next moment, but was stopped by Robin.
"I think since that shipwreck has a map of the empty island on it, then there should also be a way to go to the empty island." Li Ziming said, "Actually, we just need to find someone to go down and salvage the sinking ship." β
"I'm going!" Luffy couldn't wait to say, "I must see what's in the boat!" β
"Then let Sanji, who is not a capable person, and Zoro go down, you must find a relevant way to go to the Sky Island!" Nami cheers everyone up while suppressing Luffy, who keeps saying that she wants to go.
"You really don't know how to get to Sky Island?" Robin looked at Li Ziming suspiciously.
"I only know that I need to rely on updraft, but I don't know where to find the so-called updraft, but there should be a descendant of the legendary Rolando nearby, and that guy knows the detailed method." Li Ziming said helplessly, "It's just that even if I say so, our little captain will give up the idea of going down and taking risks?" It's better to give him a reason to go down with peace of mind, and it's good to be able to salvage some treasure after all. β
"Is there really a historical text on that empty island?" Robin asked curiously.
"News from the Heavenly King." Li Ziming shrugged his shoulders and said such a powerful news, "It's just that it is estimated that few people can get it." β
"In other words, the king of heaven is indeed stored in this world." Robin rubbed his brow, "That's pretty shocking news. β
"Oh, should I tell me the news of the last ancient weapon?" Li Ziming looked at Robin with a smile, "That thing is the best of the three ancient weapons." β
"I wonder where you got these secrets from." Robin looked at Li Ziming curiously.
"Hey, you're still talking?" Usopp's tone was full of shock, "There's a ship coming!" β
"Monkeys?" Robin said suspiciously.
"Or maybe it's better to call it an ape." Li Ziming touched his nose, "The other party is also a pirate, and it looks like he is also preparing to salvage that ship." β
"Chopper, hurry up and pull those three guys up!" Nami said anxiously.
"It's okay, that guy is a." Li Ziming looked like I had already seen through it.
"Hey, there seems to be someone under the sea, you have to be careful!" The ape on the other side reminded loudly.
"Okay!" Nami smiled and replied, "It seems that you are right, the other party is indeed a fool. β
"Thank you, it's just that in the bottom of the sea, people are secondary, and the most important thing is the sea king." Li Ziming reminded the other party, "After all, if you are at the bottom of the sea, it is quite a terrifying thing to encounter sea kings. β
"That's right, but we're a professional salvage team!" The officer said proudly, "Even if it's a sea king, we have a way to deal with it!" Little ones, don't be nervous and mess up just because people are visiting! β
"Yes!"
"These guys are pretty showy." Usopp quietly continued to step on the pump under his feet.
"Yes, I like the table very much." Nami was also covered in a cold sweat.
Li Ziming looked at the bottom of the sea.
"What's wrong?" Robin looked at Li Ziming hesitantly.
"You said it would be interesting if a huge sea king suddenly came out and bit that wreck at this time?" Li Ziming opened his mouth and said.
"You're not kidding, are you?" Robin looked at Li Ziming hesitantly, although the other party knew a lot of secret things, but this kind of thing was not a secret, this was simply a prophecy.
"Who knows." Although Li Ziming remembered such a thing, he was not sure that it would happen.
"There really isβ" Nami pointed to the surface of the water in horror, and a large black shadow appeared beneath the water.
"No, no, no, we're just dreaming, it must be a dream!" Usopp said as if hypnotized himself.
"Whew, it turned out to be a dream." Chopper let out a long breath.
"If we don't save people, we can change the captain." Li Ziming's words knocked them into the bottomless abyss.
"Don't say it!" The three of them shouted like they were breaking down.
"And our captain's gas pipe is still connected to the ship, if Luffy and them are really swallowed, our ship will be destroyed." Li Ziming said a little helplessly.
"Brothers, tighten the ropes and get the captain back! Fight for our honor and self-esteem! The people of the Ape Pirates shouted.
"That's right, this is the time for the graduate school entrance examination to unite." Usopp came to the side of the gas pipe.
"That's right!" Nami decisively gave the order, "Cut off the gas pipes to protect yourself!" β
"Devil!" Chopper said in horror.
Just when everyone was panicking, Li Ziming suddenly said: "It's dark." β
"What's going on?" Everyone looked up at the sky in disbelief, and at this time, Luffy and the others fell.
"Luffy!" Usopp said excitedly, "You're all right! β
Immediately after that, Zoro briefly introduced the one he and the others had encountered in the shipwreck, and when he talked about the treasure, the ape jumped up.
"It's not okay to let this guy make a fuss on the boat." Sanji was ready for battle.
"Hey." Li Ziming suddenly spoke up, "Now is not the time to fight. As he spoke, he picked his chin, and everyone realized that a huge figure had appeared in the dense fog on the horizon.
