Chapter Twenty-Six: A Duel of Life and Death

"Wow, they're here!" Usopp shouted in panic.

"What did you do to the old man!" The ape said angrily.

"We just saw that this uncle was sick, so we were taking care of him." Luffy explained calmly.

"They won't listen!" Usopp was ready to run away.

"I see, you are really good people." The apes and orangutans said with tears streaming down their faces.

"They really listened to us." Usopp said incredulously.

"You live here too?" Luffy quickly mingled with apes and orangutans.

"Yes, the old man's home is the base camp of our Ape Mountain United Army." The two sides seemed to forget about the previous conflict and began to chat happily.

"Why are they able to talk to Luffy like this?" Sanji was full of puzzlement.

"Because it's like it." Zoro said.

"Are they all monkeys, monkey?" Li Ziming walked out with the wine, holding some wine in his hand, "Come some?" ”

"Thank you." Zoro took a bottle of wine, but Sanji shook his head and just lit a cigarette for himself, and Li Ziming took the rest of the wine to Luffy.

"Luffy, Uncle is awake!" Chopper shouted at Luffy and the others.

"Oh, I just have something to ask that square-faced uncle!" Luffy temporarily ended his conversation with the apes and the orangutans and walked into the small room.

"Sorry for the trouble." Mont Blanc lit a cigarette for himself and said helplessly to Luffy, "I thought you guys were here to steal the gold." ”

"You have gold here?" Nami asked excitedly.

"If anything, he'll still live here?" Li Ziming hit Nami directly.

"Don't worry about the gold, uncle, we want to go to the Sky Island, and you are a descendant of Rolando, you should know how to go to the Sky Island." Luffy said confidently.

"How to get to Sky Island?" Mont Blanc seemed to hear the funniest way in the world, "Hahaha, do you really believe in Sky Island?" ”

"Hey, isn't there an empty island?" Luffy said unhappily.

"Who knows." "Maybe there is only one person who says yes, but that person is a big liar who is known all over the world, and even his descendants are ridiculed by the world." ”

"Rolando, maybe me?" Li Ziming shrugged his shoulders, "Actually, I also believe in the existence of the empty island." ”

"Boy, you're not kidding, everyone knows it's just a joke, just a boring lie by the big liar Rolando." Mont Blanc seemed a little angry, "It's because of that guy that his descendants have been scolded for generations." ”

"It was because of such a guy that his family was banished by the king, but even so, no one in his family resented him." Mont Blanc is like telling a story.

"Why?" Luffy became a good listener.

"Because Rolando is an honest man!" Meng Blanc's words didn't shock the others, after all, Li Ziming had been emphasizing the empty island, and they had long thought from the bottom of their hearts that the empty island was a zài.

"Then uncle, you are constantly looking for the golden city under the sea in order to play with the grievances of your ancestors!" Usopp looked at Mont Blanc in admiration.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Mont Blanc looked very angry, "No matter how honest and upright that old ancestor is, how great an adventurer he is, this has nothing to do with me!" ”

Mont Blanc looked as if he wanted to vent all the resentment in his heart over the years, "Can you imagine! A scene where a child is just a little related to that guy, and a child is bought by a stranger! I grew up in that environment! ”

After venting, Mont Blanc's feelings seemed to be a little more stable, "Actually, what you said is right, for 400 years, many people have chosen to go to the sea to find gold at the bottom of the sea in order to prove that our ancestors did not lie, but most of them are missing. "I'm ashamed of such a family, so I'm leaving, I'm a pirate." ”

"But it's amazing that I came to this island." "It's funny, I hate Rolando the most, and it's like a curse!" Eventually, I realized that it was a choice of fate! ”

Mont Blanc's eyes were full of war, "This is Rolando's provocation to me again!" I chose to stay on this island, with or without it, my goal was not gold, and I didn't bother to prove Rolando's innocence! I just want to have a life-and-death duel with the man who messed up my life! Mont Blanc shook his fist as if Rolando were right in front of Mont Blanc.

"What a hero!" Usopp was thoroughly moved by Mont Blanc's story.

"What about the monkeys?" Luffy asked suspiciously, "Why are they here with you?" ”

"Those guys." A hearty smile appeared on Mont Blanc's face when he mentioned the monkey, "Those two guys are a couple of living treasures who yearn for underwater exploration, and they are also fans of the album." Just five or six years ago, they came to me and said that they wanted to be my subordinate, and they said that the Golden City really existed. ”

"I'm grateful to them." Mont Blanc laughed happily at the noise outside, "This sea is very deep, and it is even more lonely and lonely to be alone in the dark and dark waters, and I dived alone day after day, until one day these two fools came over and wanted to be my men, and they were really two fools." Mont Blanc cursed, but it didn't look like he was angry.

"Uncle, we don't want to hear the story of the monkey, we're going to the empty island!" Luffy said dissatisfied.

Mont Blanc seemed to be surprised by Luffy's momentum, "Hehe, what an impatient, the only witness to Sky Island is the big liar Rolando, and you will be laughed at if you are involved with him." Mont Blanc said this, but still took a book from his shelf, "This is Rolando's logbook." ”

"There's proof that Rolando has been to Sky Island?" Luffy said excitedly.

"Unfortunately, that doesn't say that." Mont Blanc said regretfully, then flipped to one of the pages of the journal and handed it to Nami, "Read and look at this page." ”

Nami first marveled at the 400-year-old logbook in her hand, and then read the contents, which mentioned the Mighty Fish and Kukai.

"Ming, what is Mighty?" Luffy seemed to be very interesting to hear what was being said inside.

"To put it bluntly, it's a kind of ship, but the power is quite special, and there is no place to make it except for the empty island." Li Ziming shrugged his shoulders, "Sky Island is different from us here, they use something called Bei, different Bei has different abilities, and the Sky Island people use Bei as an energy source or weapon. ”

Mont Blanc looked at Li Ziming in surprise, very surprised why the other party knew these things, but then shook his head and walked out, leaving only everyone who was still partying.

"Old man, are you any better?" The ape asked.

"It's good." Mont Blanc waved his hand, "I ask you two, what do you think of those guys?" ”

"Why do you ask?" The orangutan said incomprehensibly.

"Because those guys seem to be going to Sky Island." Mont Blanc's words stunned the orangutans and apes.

"Sky Island?" The orangutan thought thoughtfully, "That's the only way." ”

"But those guys are going to die without a place to bury." The ape also said with some solemnity.

"So let's go and help them."
