Chapter 32: The Strange Town

Riding on the back of a shark, Zhang Xuan walked on the sea for two days in a row.

In the past two days, Zhang Xuan has experienced the strange weather of the Great Channel.

No matter what the weather is one second, the next second you may be doused by a torrential downpour.

No matter how calm the sea is, the next moment the waves can drown you.

Zhang Xuan struggled on the sea for two days, and finally came to a small island, an inhabited island.

"Find a hotel first, fix it well, I've almost tossed the dead master in the past few days."

Zhang Xuan walked excitedly on the streets of the town, and after walking around, he was stunned to find that there was not a single hotel in the entire town.

"How is that possible? There are no hotels in such a prosperous town, are you kidding? Zhang Xuan didn't believe in evil, and quickly walked around the town again.

The end result is that the town really doesn't have a hotel.

Very puzzled, Zhang Xuan found an old man on the side of the road and asked:

"Uncle, where is there a hotel in our town?"

"Huh? Hotel? When the old man heard Zhang Xuan's words, he looked Zhang Xuan up and down strangely, and finally shook his head.

"Young man, there is no hotel in our town, while it is not dark, I advise you to leave quickly."

"Uncle, how can there be no hotels in your town when it is so prosperous?" Zhang Xuan asked puzzled.

“……”

The old man looked at Zhang Xuan and did not answer Zhang Xuan's question.

"This ...... Okay, uncle, I want to stay, take a break, where can you stay? ”

“……”

When the old man heard this, he shook his head again, got up and picked up his stool, and went directly back to the house.

"Huh? Big ......"

"Bump!"

The door closed, and Zhang Xuan, who stepped forward, was directly slapped back by the door panel.

"I ...... Respect the old and love the young, I endured it, what kind of people are these. Zhang Xuan held back his anger and turned his head to look at a dessert shop next to him.

Business doesn't seem to be doing well at this dessert shop, and a girl in a colorful dress is lying on a table bored.

Seeing this, Zhang Xuan slowly walked into the store and patted the table.

"Hello, what do you want to buy?"

The girl was awakened by the sound and hurriedly asked politely.

"I want to ...... Do you have any recommendations for customizing a birthday cake? ”

Zhang Xuan hesitated for a moment, and did not directly ask questions about the hotel, but was about to set it up first.

"Who do you want to customize a birthday cake for, is it your elder?" The waitress asked politely with a smile.

"I'll buy it for myself, and next week it's my 14th birthday."

"Uh......"

When the waitress heard this, she was stunned for a moment, she saw the person who came to buy a cake for her birthday for the first time, and she was a child under 14.

However, after reacting, she immediately picked out several cake styles for Zhang Xuan to choose from.

Zhang Xuan pretended to be casual while picking up the cake: "We don't seem to see outsiders here." ”

"Yes, it's hard to get back and forth between islands in the Great Passage, and only pirates would venture out on a voyage." The girl accosted unconsciously.

"Then we haven't had outsiders here?"

"Whoever dares to come here, I'm afraid they will be ...... at night"

"Ahem!"

Just as the waitress said that she was hiding in a key place, a cough interrupted her words.

I saw an old woman come out of the back room of the dessert shop and come to the counter.

"Alice, I'll take a look here." The old woman said directly to the maiden waitress.

"Grandma, I'm busy here alone, you can go back and rest." The waitress waved her hand, but was glared at by the old woman.

The girl Alice was a little baffled, but she was still driven back to the inner room by the old woman.

Zhang Xuan looked at the old woman who looked at him with a smile on his face, he knew that his temptation was useless.

hurriedly ordered a birthday cake, and the old woman didn't confiscate Zhang Xuan's fixed money, just let Zhang Xuan take the cake two days later.

But looking at the old woman's strange attitude, Zhang Xuan felt that the other party didn't seem to take his business to heart at all.

It's like the other party is sure that they won't come to get the cake, and the business can't be done at all.

Walking out of the cake shop, Zhang Xuan looked around the lively streets around him suspiciously, curious about what secrets this seemingly ordinary town had.

Next, Zhang Xuan didn't look for any more places to stay.

Came to a bath and had a good bath, and then had a hearty meal at the best restaurant in town.

Just when the sky was dark, Zhang Xuan walked out of the town, came to a high cliff on the island, and sat down.

He had already determined that there was something strange in the town below, and although he didn't know if it was dangerous, Zhang Xuan was not ready to retreat.

There are a total of seven routes in the Great Passage, and Luffy's starting point for their route is Whiskey Peak, which is obviously not here.

Therefore, if Zhang Xuan followed the record pointer, he would definitely not pass through the island that Luffy and his gang passed.

In this way, Zhang Xuan's advantage of unpredictable prophets is probably gone, so Zhang Xuan is not ready to follow the record pointer at all.

All the pirates follow the path of the record pointer in order to travel to the New World and eventually find the location of the legendary One Piece Treasure - Ralph Drew.

But Zhang Xuan is different, he is interested in the treasure of One Piece, but it is not big.

It is expected that the treasure of One Piece is likely to be related to the 100-year history of the vanishing, and the treasure is secondary.

Zhang Xuan didn't need to go to great lengths to find Ralph Drew, he just needed to grab the pirates in the Great Passage.

So Zhang Xuan decided not to sail according to the instructions of the recording pointer, but to wander around the Great Channel casually.

Zhang Xuan's ultimate goal is to go to all the islands of the Great Passage and grab all the pirates on the Great Passage.

There must be a reason why this island is so weird now.

The more dangerous the place, the more profitable it is, of course Zhang Xuan has to study it carefully.

Sitting on a cliff outside the town, as night fell, Zhang Xuan found that the town below had begun to rapidly decline.

The originally lively street soon lost many people, and the rest of the people were also in a hurry.

All the shops, from clothing stores to bars, were closed almost at the same time.

You know, night is when bars and other places should really be lively, and the bars in this town close so early, which is simply refusing business.

Soon, the whole town fell silent.

When it was completely dark, the whole town was also plunged into darkness, and there was not even a trace of light......
