"What did you say?!" Early in the morning, in a room in the cave, the fat man from before looked at the subordinate who rushed in in shock, "That Bo brother's hand is useless?!" ”

"Yes, sir! There's nothing we can do to thaw that Aaron's ice," said his men on one knee and bowing their heads, "and with Bobbi alone, their sailboat can't be driven at all, so...... I'm afraid the giants won't be able to participate in the competition anymore..."

"Bastard!" Hearing the analysis of his subordinates, the fat man was furious, and then he threw the hanging lamp beside him fiercely, "No! The giants must participate, and their odds are 140 times higher, if they can't participate, Lao Tzu doesn't know how much to lose! ”

"But now they can't compete!"

"Hmm..."Hearing this, the fat man's head began to run rapidly, and for a while, his eyes flashed with an unknown meaning, "Maybe... That's all right. ”

……

At this time, in the Merry at the port.

"What? Are you looking for Aaron? Nami looked at the man in front of her in surprise, "What are you looking for Aaron?" ”

"That's... We really can't unravel the ice cube that Mr. Aaron made before, so I want to ask Mr. Aaron to come over..."The man said with some embarrassment,

"No, who knows if you will have any unfavorable thoughts about Aaron" Nami frowned, and decisively rejected the man's request, "You must know that the outside world is now spreading the name of the fruit nemesis, what if you are caught?" ”

"Fruit Buster? What fruit nemesis? At this time, the man looked at Nami with a confused expression, and he didn't know what Nami was talking about.

"You don't know?" Nami looked at the man in the same surprise, and after she saw the man's surprised expression, she said with some confusion, "It's strange, didn't the people who got on the boat before come to look for Aaron?" ”

"Maybe the news hasn't reached here yet," Zoro on the side guessed, "I saw the bounty order at the bar before, Luffy's bounty is still the previous 30 million Bailey, and after passing through Alabastan, the bounty will increase ...... anyway"

"Wouldn't it? Isn't the news of the newsbird released at the same time? Nami said in disbelief.

"Probably because there are too many pirates gathered here, and the news birds are afraid of being killed or something," Zoro guessed casually.

"Oh hoo! I don't know how much my bounty will go up this time! At this moment, Luffy said with some anticipation.

"It's probably higher than the crocodile, after all, when I defeated Aaron last time, it was 10 million higher than Aaron..."Usopp rolled his eyes and thought for a moment, "So Luffy's bounty is about 90 million Bailey?" ”

"Ninety million? Hahaha! Sure enough, I'm very good! Luffy pointed at himself in shock when he heard Usopp's guess, and then laughed heartily.

Boom! "Shut up, it's annoying to get up early in the morning"

And then he was taught to be a new person by Nami's punch.

"However, I don't know if I will have a reward this time" Sanji also joined the discussion, only to see that his eyes suddenly turned red, and his body began to writhe like a snake, looking disgusting, "If I let the beautiful ladies of the world see my heroic appearance, I don't know how much they will be infatuated with me, oops, it's really nerve-wracking~"

"Hmph, even if they saw your bounty order, they probably wouldn't have that kind of thought," Zoro on the side decisively splashed Sanji's cold water.

"What do you say? Green algae head, do you want to fight! ”

"Huh? If you want to come, you can come! ”

Bang! Bang!

"Really, your energy is really strong, it's so noisy early in the morning" Nami clapped her hands, she looked at the two people who fell to the ground and couldn't bear the big bag on their heads, and said helplessly.

Well... Nami completes three kills!

"That..."And at this moment, the man saw that the topic of the Straw Hats and his party was getting more and more biased, and in order to complete the task assigned to him by the head of the bureau, he had to interrupt everyone's conversation a little awkwardly.

"Huh? Why haven't you left yet? Nami said to the man in surprise.

"Uh..." Hearing Nami's words, the man's face froze, and then he looked at everyone with a sneer, "That, Mr. Aaron's business..."

"Didn't you say it, don't borrow it!" Nami frowned, and she said coldly.

"We can pay..."Although he felt that there was no hope, the man still wanted to struggle

"How much?" Nami replied in seconds, her eyes shining with gold as she looked at the man.

"Uh..."The man was slightly stunned when he saw Nami's completely different performance from just now, and then he asked tentatively, "One... A million Baileys? ”

"A million Bailey?!" Hearing the man's offer, Nami suddenly repeated it in a loud voice, and then she suddenly leaned over and looked directly into the man's eyes, "I said, this is the only way in the world to melt that kind of ice, isn't it a little insincere to only one million?" ”

"But... But your crew did it."

"Less!" Nami suddenly roared, and then she sneered and looked at the man, "You want to cure the giant, in fact, it's just because of the huge odds, after the cure, there will be more than a billion Baileys in the account...... So just give us a million, don't you think it's a way to beg for food? ”

"So, how much do you want?"

"Ten million."

"Nani?! Ten million? No, no, I can't be the master of such a large amount! ”

"Then we don't care, but the billions of Bailey are gone, I think your boss will kill you."

"But... But 10 million is too much! ”

"That's your business~"

"Damn...... Deal, 10 million Bailey! The man looked at Nami viciously.

"Wouldn't it be nice to do this sooner," Nami said with satisfaction, and then she looked at Shirley on the side, "Shirley, okay?" ”

"No, the guy said he was going to untie it before," Shirley shrugged indifferently.

Squeak! At that moment, the door opened.

"Hmm!" Aaron rubbed his eyes and slowly appeared from behind the door, he yawned and said, "Good morning, everyone." ”

"Aaron, you're just in time to come out" Nami looked back at the sleepy-eyed Aaron, and then she pointed to the man in front of her, "That's right, you go with this guy"

“…… Yes? Aaron looked at Nami with some confusion.

……

"Bastard! You paid 10 million Baileys to bring this guy over! After listening to the description of his subordinates, the fat man slapped the man to the ground with an angry slap.

"I'm so sorry!" Although he was knocked to the ground, the man did not complain at all, he trembled and crawled on the ground, not daring to raise his head to refute at all.

"Forget it... Just promise them for the time being" As he spoke, the fat man couldn't help but glance back at Aaron, who kept apologizing to the giant, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "Anyway, they won't live long"

……

"I'm sorry! Sorry! Aaron kept bowing and said to the two giants in front of him, "I'm so sorry for the hurt I did to you because of what I got drunk last night! ”

"No, no, no, in fact, we had something wrong yesterday" Seeing that the strong man who beat himself down apologized so sincerely, the giant who had been stubborn until he couldn't do it decisively chose to forgive Aaron, only to see Bobby scratch his head, he laughed and said in a voice like a brass bell, "Anyway, thank you very much for being able to save Bobby"

"No, no, no, it's my fault, so I'm supposed to come," Aaron said, waving his hand, and then he looked up at the "ice cube" in Bogo's right hand,

At this time, the ice was covered with all kinds of huge scratches, and it was obvious that before Aaron came, the giants also tried their best to open the ice.

After a while, he scratched his head in surprise, "Did I really get this?" ”

Hearing Aaron's words, Gary in the pocket couldn't help but poke his head out, and he looked at Aaron a little speechless.

Really, didn't you do it yourself and didn't count it yourself? I didn't add that to the rod.

"But I don't have any impressions," Aaron said with a smirk.

"Cat!"

Nonsense, you were already drunk by then! And then again, how exactly do you manage to turn liquid water into solid? And it's not turned into ice.

"Even if you say that, I don't know... Huh? In the middle of speaking, Aaron suddenly closed his eyes, and after a moment, he opened his eyes and looked at Gary with some surprise, "Gary, I seem to know how to do it!" ”

As he spoke, he reached into his clothes, and after groping around his chest for a while, he took out a stick carved with a mysterious pattern from under the placket of his robe.

"I want to think about it... It seems like this... And so on" Then Aaron held one end of the stick in a reverberating voice, and then saw him hold it flat, and then the pattern on the stick flashed blue.

Bang!

A crystal clear water bomb shot out from the other end of the stick and hit the wooden box in front of it, and then the wooden box was completely held in the "ice".

"That's it," Aaron said, putting the stick away, he lowered his head and looked at Gary happily, "I have a new skill, Gary." ”

“…… Cat whin? Cat woo cat! ”

…… What is this? Isn't this the same as usual? How did you do that?

"Woo... It's just thinking about it," Aaron scratched his head, and he described it with some distress.

"Cat!"

What is that? There's no basis at all, you guy is too unscientific, aren't you?

"Hehe, don't praise me, I'll be proud."

"Cat woo!"

The devil is praising you! Bastard guy!

"That..."Looking at Aaron, who was arguing with Gary, Bobby interrupted a little embarrassed, "Can you thaw Bogo's ice first..."

"Ahh Sorry, sorry! Aaron turned abruptly and bowed to the giant, "I'll thaw his ice in no time." ”

As he spoke, Aaron snapped his fingers: "Solution!" ”

Bang la la blah!

The next moment, the "ice" on Bo Ge's arm turned into water in an instant, and it fell to the ground with a splash.

"Alright." Aaron withdrew his hand and shouted at Bobbi and Bogo.

“…… That's good? Seeing Aaron so easily get rid of the ice that had been bothering them for a long time, Poppy couldn't help but be a little stunned, and then he turned his head to look at Bo Ge, who was trying to move his right hand, "Bo Ge, how is it?" Can you move? ”

"No... I still can't do it," Bo Ge said with a somewhat ugly face.

"Probably because I've been freezing for too long, it should be fine in a few days," Aaron scratched his hair, and then he shouted as he looked up.

"That's right," Bobby nodded when he heard Aaron's words, and then he leaned over to look at the blonde-haired child, "What's your name?" ”

"Aaron, my name is Copperfield. Aaron! Aaron said his name aloud.

"Aaron... I remember" Bobbi groaned, he nodded slowly, and then he turned his head to look at Bogo, "Since Bogo, your hand can't move anymore, then we won't participate in this game, right?" ”

"Well, it looks like that's the way it is"

"Nani?!" At this moment, the fat man suddenly shouted, and then he looked up at the giant, and shouted in a sharp and ugly voice like killing a pig, "Why don't you participate!" ”

"Do you have any grievances? Little fat man? Bobby heard the fat man's scream, he looked at the fat man's head with an unkind face, "My brother is not in good shape now, you still want us to play, what do you mean?" ”

"No, that... It's just that after all, the prize money is very generous, so don't you think about it anymore? The fat man persuaded in a cold sweat on his face.

"Humph! Elbaf's warriors are not yet down to the point of fighting for their lives for money! Poppy snorted disdainfully.

"But..."The fat man looked at Bobby with some embarrassment, and then he glanced at Aaron who wanted to go back, and a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind, and then he suddenly called out to Aaron, "Hey! Over there, please wait a minute! ”

"Huh?" Aaron stopped, he looked around, and then pointed tentatively at himself, "Are you talking about me?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes!" The fat man nodded frantically like a fat chicken pecking rice, he desperately tried his best to make himself appear kinder, "I have a very interesting thing here, do you want to come and participate together?" ”

……

"This pointer refers to the top of the mountain," Nami looked at the pointer in her hand, and then she looked up at the mountain on the island, "Do you want to go around it?" Or is the destination not here? ”

"The end of the race is different every year, but the starting point is definitely here," said Robin.

At this time, the Straw Hats were ready to go.

"Are we going up the mountain?" Nami looked at Robin in surprise.

"Well, yes"

"Wouldn't it? How do you go up like this? ”

"It's like an upside-down mountain."

"Impossible, there is a very strong current in Upside Down Mountain, and the water here is very gentle."

"There are some here," replied Robin, "once a few years, with a strong wind, there is a big wave going against the current, and we are going to take advantage of that." ”

"Well, I understand the truth...""Anyway, it's an incredible starting point, right!" "That's not right!"

"But why hasn't Aaron come back yet, it's almost time to go" Usopp looked at Luffy with a smirk on his face speechlessly, and then he said with some confusion.

"That guy must be fine, it's a big deal to come back and pick him up when we get to the starting point," Shirley, who was drinking tea on the side, said indifferently.

"It's true, but I always feel like something..."

At this moment, everyone heard the sound of a wave from far and near.

"Huh? The wind is blowing! When Nami heard this, she jerked back to Luffy and the others, "Luffy, hurry up and strengthen the ropes, Usopp you go to the helm, Chopper you go and watch the back, Sanji and Zoro pay attention to the left and right sides!" ”

The Straw Hats and his party scrambled into action.

Whew!

The wind around me gradually became louder, the waves began to flow backwards, and became larger and faster, and the surrounding trees slowly moved towards the island.

Call!

"It's coming!"

With Nami's foreshadowing, a fierce wind suddenly came out of the stern, and in an instant the canvas was blown away, and the real stern was blown away from the sea by the strong wind, and the hull of the ship slowly accelerated forward, and soon the whole ship was speeding forward.

"Woohoo!" Everyone clung to the hull of the ship, and everyone felt the strong wind, only to feel that their body and mind seemed to be relaxed at this time.

Swish!

After passing through a tunnel, everyone came to the town on the island, and at this time the banks of the river were filled with people, and everyone looked at the pirate ships entering the scene, and they all cheered enthusiastically.

"I see, that's what the parade is about," Nami said abruptly, looking at the people by the river.

"Hey, hey, hey! Our popularity is quite high! Usopp looked at the shouting crowd around him, and he said with some excitement.

"Yo Si! Look at ours! Then, he and Luffy shook their fists at the crowd on both sides of the river at the same time.

"Don't do anything superfluous!" "We're the most popular bet!" "I'll kill you if it's in the way!"

As a result, people were frantically scolded.

"Well, that's a natural reaction," Nami said with a smile.

"Huh?" At this time, Sanji, who was on the starboard side, saw the boat of the distant tributary, and "I saw other boats"

"Well, there's a big guy over there," and then he saw a big ship emitting black smoke coming from the tributary on the other side, "That's a steamboat, it's the first time I've seen it." ”

"That's Gaspardi's ship, the Saroman," Nami said, looking at the big ship in the distance.

"Huh? What's going on with that banner? Draw a cross on the navy's logo," Usopp asked, looking at the flag on the canvas of the Saloman Serpent, a little confused.

"That guy used to be a navy, but then he robbed his own ship and became a pirate, and now the bounty is 95 million Bailey," Nami said Gaspardy's message, "It's a guy who needs attention in terms of strength, and this guy seems to be a Devil Fruit ability, and his alias is Shogun, but I don't seem to have heard any good rumors." ”

"How can pirates have good rumors?" "It doesn't matter. ”

Luffy suddenly interjected, "I hate that guy"

He remembered what had happened last night.

……

Gradually, the ships converged towards the mainstream.

"Aha! How? With this kind of broken boat, you want to cross the waterfall? On the right side of the Merry, on a large ship that looked like a ship, a large man with a whip on the back of his head laughed loudly.

"That's the Hanged Picaropa"

Bang bang bang!

At that moment, on the right side of the Merry came a large ship with a huge drill on the front that was three times the length of the Merry.

"That's Willy's ship!" Nami said loudly.

"Wow!"

Boom!

Then to Willy's right, another oversized two-person boat appeared.

"That's the Giants' ship!"

"Wow... Oh no," Usopp was about to exclaim again, but then he suddenly felt that something was wrong, so he looked back again, "What the hell is that guy up front covered in water!" That's definitely not a giant! ”

I saw that on the giant's ship, the guy at the helm in front was not the previous giant, but a huge transparent water man composed of water all over his body.

"Huh? Usopp? Just as Usopp was startled, Aaron suddenly emerged from the top of the water man's head, he looked down at the Merry not far away, and then shouted, "Everyone, I'm also participating!" ”

"Aaron, what's going on..."Usopp looked at Aaron on top of the water man a little speechless, "how did he take the place of the giant?" ”

"Probably last night," Zoro guessed, "Well, it's getting more and more interesting, this game." ”

"But..."At this time, Sanji said with a somewhat unsightly face, "Do you remember the scene when Aaron manipulated the Merry before?" Let Aaron take the helm...... Is it really okay? ”

"......" Hearing Sanji's words, everyone was silent for a while, and then everyone looked back at Aaron who was above the water man's head.

"Aha~~" I saw Aaron play on top of the water man's head for a while, he slowly sank into the water man's body, and then, everyone saw the water man's ten thick fingers move like a drill, and then the water man suddenly stretched his head forward like riding a bicycle, and at the same time he stretched out his left fist suddenly.

Although there was no sound, everyone could already imagine Aaron's excitement as he raised his arms and shouted

Well, something will definitely happen! Everyone said silently in their hearts.
