Chapter Seventy-Four: The Pharmacy
The east showed a hint of fish belly white, and it was a new day.
"How much longer?" Bucky looked at Mikul as he lay lazily on the deck.
Mikul yawned and stretched, "It's almost there, an hour or so." ”
During the two-day voyage, Keya finally gave a sure answer, she would follow the ship until the moment she fulfilled her dream, and the ship was finally about to reach the gateway to the East China Sea, Rogue Town.
The town of the beginning and the end, in his memory, Bucky had been there once, and that was nearly twenty years ago, when he witnessed Roger being tortured on the torture table, and the incomparable Captain Roger was killed by two two navies who were too ordinary to be ordinary.
At that time, he cried bitterly, immersed in pain and couldn't extricate himself, but as time passed, this sincere feeling slowly faded and buried in the bottom of his heart, that time was probably the first time in Bucky's life to cry from the heart, and after that, it was never again.
The thought of the place he was about to arrive at made Bucky's heart burn a lot, and he clutched his heart, it was a strange feeling, it should be the instinctive power of his body that was at work.
……
Looking into the distance, only to see the islands that were small like ants, Shuma was already exclaiming, "Bucky, see, see!" ”
Bucky waved his right hand, "Collect the sails." ”
Kabaji and Mochili put away the pirate sail flag, and the Bikudopp followed the waves towards Rogue Town, not moving fast, but very stealthy.
The East China Sea has always been the weakest sea area on the surface, and the naval strength of Rogue Town, which guards the gate, is actually not much, although the White Hunters alone are equivalent to thousands of troops.
Only slightly closer than the Kudop, Bucky asked Shuma to walk on a moonlit walk to see which of the shores was sparsely populated, so as not to attract the attention of the navy.
After that, we finally arrived at the shore and docked outside a deserted beach.
Moki guarded the ship, Bucky distributed Bailey's 100,000 land each to Keya and Xiuma, Keya was responsible for purchasing medicines and medicinal materials, Xiuma was responsible for buying fresh reserve ingredients, and several other handyman pirates, under Bucky's explanation, began to collect locations and information on Rogue Town.
After that, Bucky plans to put these handyman pirates and the square-faced navigator here, and send some pensions, even if they are reluctant, they have made up their minds, the great voyage is not a play after all, even Bucky himself will not think that everything can be expected and avoided, in the absence of means of survival, these weak guys will always be the first to be targeted, and then killed.
Again, they are not pirates with heads and faces, and as long as they change their appearance, they will be able to blend in this weakest part of the sea without worrying about being sniped by bounty hunters.
Although he himself combines the cunning and ruthlessness of Bucky's character, his own personality is the dominant position, and he will have feelings for these hard-working pirates, not deep, but visible.
……
It was the first time for Keya to come to such a large town, with its towering and chic housing complexes, huge fountain squares, and wide streets, which were completely incomparable to the big towns of Xirob Village.
The crowd of people walked along the road, talking and laughing, and there were a variety of shops everywhere, and there were so many forks and secluded alleys that it was dazzling and dizzying.
However, for Keya, who has experienced the events in Cocoa West Village, the cowardice in her body has slowly faded, and under the passive effect of the Devil Fruit, her body is constantly recovering and strengthening every day, and these changes allow her to gradually be able to do things independently.
"That shop is a herb shop!"
Looking at the shop with the name "Old Woman's Medicine", Keya showed joy on her face and walked over.
"Hello, may I ask anyone?" Keya pushed open the door, it was a little dim inside, and there was no reply quietly.
As far as the eye can see, the dilapidated wooden tables and chairs, the medicine counter covered with cobwebs, the flickering candlelight that is about to go out, and the depressed and dilapidated appearance have a strange feeling that makes people's hearts palpitate.
"Excuse me, is anyone there?" Kyoya shouted politely again.
"Is anyone there, please?"
The repetition startled Kya, who realized that it was her own echo in the sealed room.
"It doesn't look like there's going to be a lot of people living here, so I'd better go find another pharmacy." She let out a sigh of relief and turned away.
"This door......" pushed open the door with his hand, but the door seemed to be fixed as if the space was fixed, and it didn't move at all.
"What's going on!!" Keya's heart pounded, and she remembered that the stories told by Usopp were full of ghosts, such as hungry ghosts who had not been fed before their deaths, wandering in restaurants and stealing food from customers.
Another example is the criminals who were executed turned into evil spirits and killed innocent people everywhere in order to vent their anger.
And this shop looks like it has not been inhabited for decades, could it be that the owner sold some medicinal herbs that hurt the heavens and reason, killed others, and finally paid for his life, and turned into an earthbound spirit wandering here after death!
Bang!!
There was a sudden hard touch on her feet, and Krya cried out in fright, and instinctively looked down, only to see the thing in the dim candlelight.
She wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and patted her chest in shock, "It turned out to be a jar placed at the door." ”
As her gaze shifted, the faint candlelight in the room suddenly went out, and a white figure flashed by.
Ke Ya glanced at the corner of her eyes inadvertently, and quickly turned around to look, but there was nothing in front of her, and the surrounding darkness was like a black curtain hanging in front of her, and the whole room revealed a strange and absurd atmosphere.
"Didi ......"
I don't know where the voice came from, but it sounded without warning, and suddenly it was synchronized with the beat of the heartbeat in a few blinks!!
What the hell is this place!
Keya's heart was pounding, she didn't dare to linger for a moment, her hands tightly clenched the doorknob, and pushed out.
But I don't know why, there is a glimmer of light under the crack of the door, but the door can't be pulled at all.
"Hey ......"
A hoarse, eerie voice came from behind her, and in the eerie environment, it gave Khaya the illusion that it was like a firecracker exploding from the tail of her spine to the top of her head.
Time around her seemed to slow down a lot, and she turned her head over little by little, her pupils dilated suddenly, and she couldn't see anyone in front of her!!
"Little girl, don't push hard, that doorshaft is broken."
A light suddenly lit up underneath.
Keya didn't dare to spit out in a breath, and slowly looked down, there was a very short old woman wrapped in a white quilt, she carried a candlelight in her hand, and her wrinkled face was covered with a slightly hideous scar.
Keya's feet went limp, and she almost sat on the ground, "Out, appeared, Earth Bound Spirit!" ”
