Chapter 57: Silver City
Aboard the Golden Merry.
Nami held a newspaper and complained, "I have to buy it every day, which is not a small amount, and it seems that I have to save more desperately." ”
Usopp sat and fiddled with the props on the ground: "Isn't your plan to save money over?" ”
"Nonsense! It's because that's over, so I'm going to save even more desperately for myself now, I don't want to be a poor sour pirate! ”
Usopp held a bottle of special chili sauce: "Don't make a noise, I'm working on a new killer [Chili Sauce Star] now, if the enemy gets this trick in his eyes..."
"Wow!!"
Before Usopp could finish speaking, Nami let out an exclamation, and Sanji jumped down with a concerned face when he heard it: "What's wrong?" Namisan? ”
Sanji didn't care about this, he directly touched Usopp, and the special chili sauce in Usopp's hand was sprinkled directly.
"Wow! It's spicy! Usopp shouted as well.
Nami looked at the clouds over the sea in front of her, and her face changed with fright: "Sanji, Usopp, hurry!" Turn the rudder to the right! Fast! ”
Sanji was stunned for two seconds when he saw Nami look so frightened, and then immediately ran in the direction of the rudder: "Got it, Nami! ”
Although he didn't know what was going on, Sanji did it anyway.
Zoro was sleeping on the lookout on the mast, while Luffy sneaked into the kitchen to steal food, Tatsuki noticed that something was wrong outside, and hurriedly came out: "What's going on?" ”
The look of horror on Nami's face did not subside: "The storm is coming!" ”
"What??"
Sure enough, after a while, the originally calm sea ahead set off a wave, and gradually the waves became bigger and bigger.
The place they traveled to was close to the Great Route, and the weather, geomagnetism, currents, and everything else on the Great Voyage were chaotic, so the weather here was also very free.
"Collect the sails! Collect the sails! Anchor! Nami shouted, and Tatsuki and Sanji did it.
But it was too late.
Immediately after, a hurricane hit, mixed with raindrops the size of ping-pong balls, accompanied by a scream from the ship, blowing the boat into the distance...
I don't know how many days have passed.
The Golden Merry had been blown there, and the ship had become a mess, with a finger's depth of water on the deck, and tables, chairs, benches, and cutlery in the cabin were scattered haphazardly on the deck, soaking in the water.
The middle finger of Chen Qi's right hand twitched twice, and then slowly opened his eyes.
He found his entire body soaked in water, and sat up suddenly, causing a splash.
He was the first to wake up on the ship, and he couldn't help but feel a lot more relieved to see that none of them were carried away by the storm.
Not only did they not know where the ship was blown to, but everyone was also swept away by the impact of the storm.
He called everyone up one by one, and when he finally called Luffy, he couldn't wake up.
Not only that, but with the snoring sound of "whirring", the snot bubbles are actually getting bigger and bigger.
In this case, as the captain of the ship, he was still sleeping here, Nami suddenly got angry, walked over and pushed Tatsuki away, and smashed Luffy's head with a punch.
"It hurts!"
At this moment, Luffy's scream like killing a pig was suddenly heard, echoing in the air and not dissipating for a long time.
The partners had black lines on their heads, and they looked at Nami with awe.
At this moment, Chen Qi understood two things:
1. What Luffy is afraid of: Hailou Stone, sea water, sharp weapons, and Nami's fist.
2. Nami's fist has a buff bonus to teammates, and the critical strike rate is 100%. Critical damage 10000%.
"Wow! It hurts! I just dreamed that someone was hitting me, but why did it hurt so much? ”
Luffy clutched his head and yelled.
Everyone was completely speechless.
Sanji's face was a little confused: "This storm is really violent, where have we been?" ”
Usopp took a monocular and looked northwest and said to the group: "There is an island about two nautical miles ahead. ”
"Really?" With that, everyone looked in the direction Usopp had said, and sure enough, they saw an island faintly.
Because there is no positioning device in this world, they don't know where they are yet.
The ship headed northwest...
"If you want to go to the island, 10 taels of silver per person!"
At the port, there stood eleven men in silver-white uniforms, five with muskets and five with spears, and the leader had a golden star sewn into the sleeve of the military uniform on the right, which looked like their captain.
The captain's face was the same as 2580,000, and when he came up, he asked Chen Qi for money.
When she heard that she was asking for money, Nami was not happy, "What kind of place are you?" It's too unreasonable, how can you ask people for money as soon as you go to the island? ”
When the captain heard this, his face fell: "I don't know what kind of place this is, so you dare to come and spread wild?" You're a little too daring! ”
Chen Qi was about to pull out the sword in his hand, but was stopped by Sauron, which means: Let's take a look first.
Chenqi and his gang encountered a huge storm and drifted here, and there was basically no supplies and food left (most of the food was eaten by Luffy, and the remaining two days were also spoiled in the water), and it was difficult to continue without resting on this island and asking for directions.
Usopp: "That's... So what exactly is this place? ”
Captain: "Listen up, little ghosts! This is [Helian Silver City]! As long as you pay the money, you can come in whether you're a pirate, navy, bounty hunter or something, otherwise don't even think about it, understand? If you want to go to the island, you can get ten taels of silver per person and sixty taels for six people! ”
A tael of silver is equivalent to five hundred baileys, and sixty taels is thirty thousand baileys. It is said that it is not too much, but it is inevitable that it is unreasonable to let people pay for no reason.
Seeing that the captain and these soldiers were so arrogant, Luffy was also angry, and he was about to beat people up with his fists, but Nami quickly pulled him aside.
"What are you doing, let me go!" Luffy's face was full of displeasure.
Nami looked at Luffy with a solemn expression: "Listen, now that we have no food supplies, if we clash with them, it will be equivalent to declaring war with the ruler here, and we will inevitably be hunted down by them after we go to the island." Now that we have Bailey, we can safely go up and buy food and supplies, you understand? ”
Luffy, a single-celled creature, can take care of thinking so much, and after listening to Nami's words, he still doesn't seem to understand.
Chenqi came up and patted Luffy on the shoulder: "Nami makes sense, now we are sleepy, there is no need to go to war with an entire country, Bailey can't be turned into food in our hands, so..."
"Miss Nami is right!" Sanji also echoed.
