Chapter 74: The Straw Hats Arrived
The Great Voyage, the Merry.
After sailing for a while, Usopp poked his head out of the watchtower and said to Sanji, "Sanji, do you notice that the sea around here has become very peaceful and the weather has become colder?" ”
There is no need to deliberately control the rudder to take care of the direction in the quiet sea, just stare at the pointer, listening to Usopp's words, Sanji replied: "Well, this sudden change makes people feel unreal!" ”
"Not necessarily!" Ikalem, who came out of the cabin, immediately spoke up when he heard the conversation between the two.
When Sanji heard this, he immediately asked curiously, "Oh, it's Uncle Curly, what does it mean?" ”
"I'm not a curly-haired uncle." Ikalem straightened his white curly hair and said slowly: "Because of the climate of the Great Passage, the magnetic field between the islands has become weird, so once the climate stabilizes, it generally means that there are islands nearby. ”
After hearing Ikalem's speech, Sanji suddenly realized: "I remember what you said, I read a certain weather book!" ”
Ikalem thought for a while and then said to Sanji: "The islands on the Great Passage are divided into four major types, Spring Island, Summer Island, Autumn Island, and Winter Island, and each island has its own four seasons, and sailing on the Great Passage must at least overcome the climate change of the 16 stages of the seasons from the summer of Summer Island to the winter of Winter Island, except for those few islands!" ”
"Oh......" The Straw Hats all looked at Ikalem with adoring expressions.
"Uncle Curly." Luffy pressed his straw hat that was blown up by the sea breeze, a big smile appeared on his face, and his other hand pressed Ikalem's shoulder and said, "Be my companion." ”
"Don't." That's Icalym's crisp answer.
"Why?" Luffy was unhappy, "It's so stingy." ”
"What kind of logic are you, it's stingy if I don't join."
"Luffy, I saw it, I found the island!" Interrupting Luffy's entanglement with Ikalem, Usopp's voice came from the watchtower.
"Yes, yes, I'll see, I'll see!" Luffy laughed and tapped a few times on his feet, and like Mari's ape, he climbed up to the watchtower to look.
Suddenly, Luffy looked at the island not far away with an excited face: "It's an island, it's white, it's snow, right?" It's Snow Island! ”
"Now that you've found out, let's land quickly!" After confirming that it was an island, Sauron immediately jumped from the watchtower and went to the rudder.
After a while, the Merry docked on the shore, and when everyone dropped the anchor, Sauron came out of the cabin and asked everyone, "Which of us will guard the ship, and who will go to the doctor?" ”
"I'm going, I'm going!" Luffy was the first to raise his hand and said excitedly.
In the end, Icalem and Karui the Duck guarded the Merry, while Luffy and the others went to the island to find a doctor.
When the Straw Hats arrived on the island, they were suddenly startled, and a group of musket-armed men surrounded them, half-hijacking and half-guarding with the Straw Hats and walking towards their village.
"I'll give you a word of advice, there's only one witch in our country who is a doctor" After figuring out the origin of the Straw Hats, Doruton, the leader in green, said to Luffy and the others, "Moreover, there has been another demon king who can transform into a snowstorm recently." ”
"See that flag?" Doruton pointed to the pirate flag at the entrance to the island, "That's the demon king's pirate flag." ”
"Ah, witch? Beelzebub? Usopp fell to the side with tears streaming down his face: "It's over, my great Captain Usopp is sick and can't continue sailing, who will save me?"
"Ahhhh
"What? What an inexplicable country. Besides, what kind of place is this? Usopp who didn't care about the treasure, Sanji said dissatisfiedly.
"Wow, that's interesting." Luffy hugged Nami, who was already unconscious, with her eyes shining and looking very interested.
"This is our village, Big Horn!" After a while, the leader Doruton quickly brought the Straw Hats into a village with strange buildings, and proudly introduced Luffy to the others.
Looking at the animals on the street, Luffy asked curiously, "How come there are strange animals walking around there?" ”
Usopp also looked around with a curious face: "It's really a snow country!" ”
Doruton didn't care about the reaction of the two, and first turned to the person next to him and said, "Everyone has worked hard, except for the person in charge of monitoring, everyone should go back to work!" ”
"Are you all right, Doruton?"
"They're pirates!"
When the villagers on the side heard the leader's words, they immediately spoke out to persuade them.
"They shouldn't be bad people, this is my intuition cultivated over the years, you can trust me!" Doruton also said to everyone, worthy of being the leader, and in one sentence, everyone's guard was lowered a lot, which also shows how much he is loved. The villagers all greeted him and quickly dispersed from here.
Zoro watched everyone disperse, and immediately asked him suspiciously, "Aren't they the country's defense forces?" ”
"Everybody is a civilian, anyway, come to my house first" Doruton glanced at Sauron, said a word, and walked away.
The Straw Hats walked to Doruton's door, and Sanji paused slightly, "It's in a hurry, but we want to know where that witch doctor lives?" ”
Doruton opened the door and said to the Straw Hats, "It's a long story, let's come to the house first!" ”
Hearing this, Sanji and the others shook their heads and said, "I'm sorry, our partner's life is in danger at any time, and we must hurry up to see a doctor!" ”
Doruton nodded in understanding, turned his head to look into the island, and pointed to it, "Did you see the mountain?" The witch lives there! ”
Sanji nodded, and was about to walk with his legs raised, but was stopped by Doruton, who said to him, "I won't stop you if you want to go, but I hope you can climb up the mountain in the opposite direction." ”
"In the opposite direction? Are there shortcuts there? Usopp asked, confused.
Doruton shook his head and said kindly: "It's not, if you go up from here, you will run into 'Rabang', which is a kind of carnivorous rabbit with a ferocious personality, if you encounter a herd of them, you will definitely die!" ”
"Rabbits? We're in a hurry, out of the way, right, Sanji! Luffy heard Doruton's words and asked Sanji.
Sanji frowned slightly, and exhaled a puff of smoke in response: "It's okay, for Nami-san, it's not a problem to have an enemy!" ”
