Chapter 39: The Village of Sirob
If you leave Elu Island and go west along the way, you should pass through several islands and eventually reach the Aron Empire.
If this "little thief meow" is indeed Nami, she should follow this sailing route back to the village of Cocoa West and treasure the treasure in the orange orchard.
Bucky thought that even if his route was missed by the other party, or if this guy wasn't Nami, it didn't matter, as long as the news of the treasure was released, the money-hungry navigator would definitely bite the fishhook.
In short, there are generally no mistakes on the west-facing route.
The cumulonimbus tornado two years ago made him deeply aware of the importance of being a good navigator, even in the relatively stable sea area of the East China Sea, there will be such an unexpected situation, let alone a great voyage, even if the fruit ability cultivation is strong, it still seems too thin in front of the great power of nature.
This point, the Battle of Adward, which almost changed the trajectory of the entire world more than twenty years ago, can explain it all, if it weren't for that amazing storm, there would be no One Piece Roger later.
A day later, the Bikudop passed through a small island west of the island of Elu, and after hearing the news that "an outsider in a cloak had bought some fresh water and left in a hurry", it did not stay long, and continued its voyage westward.
……
On the rocky beach of an island in the west-west of the East China Sea, a man with a wrap and a gray cloak gathered his sails and pulled the boat close to the beach up to the shore little by little.
She wiped the sweat from her forehead, rubbed her somewhat shriveled belly, and sighed helplessly at the thought of the thin layer of potatoes placed on the surface of the package and the biscuits she had purchased not long ago.
Paddleing alone on the sea was a physically demanding task, the rough waves could bouncing back and forth viciously with stomach acid in her empty stomach, and not only that, but she felt physically and mentally exhausted from worrying about whether the navy would chase after her immediately.
He dragged his body weakly and walked towards the village where the smoke was rising in front of him, and when he thought of something, his body couldn't help but surge with strength, and his eyes began to become firm again, "Persistence, for the sake of Ke Ke Ya Xi Village...... Be sure to get together 100 million Baileys! ”
Walking through the slope ahead, in the woods beside it, a man of sixteen or seventeen and three children of six or seven years old sat by a stake and giggled and laughed.
"Green pepper head, turnip head, onion head, my great Captain Usopp has brought joy to this boring village today, haha!"
Usopp crossed his hips and laughed, looked casually at the cloaked man walking by, turned his head as if nothing happened, and then the laughter stopped abruptly, his face became a little strange, he rubbed his eyes, and then turned his head sharply.
The road next to it was empty, and there wasn't even half a human figure......
Usopp asked loudly at the three boys, with his teeth twitching, "Did you guys just see a strange guy in a cloak?!" ”
"Onion, did anyone pass by here just now?"
"I don't seem to see it!"
"Captain Usopp must be trying to fool us again, we won't be fooled again!"
Hearing this, Usopp hugged his legs in a daze, and the whole person curled up in a ball, his heart was a little cold, "That face just now...... Is it a monster? Is there something terrible invading the island, how can I have a bad premonition in my heart......"
"Captain Usopp, what's wrong with you?"
"Captain Usopp must have been frightened by the story he made up!"
"This isn't the usual captain!"
Three boys chattered.
"I didn't ...... Wrong...... I...... It's just that I have a disease that can't tell ghost stories! Usopp suppressed the uneasiness in his heart and raised a hand with a forced smile, "We're going to start playing the pirate patrol game!" ”
"Good !!"
……
The next day, the Bikudopp approached the eastern shore of the village of Sirob.
Bucky looked at a fishing boat randomly placed on the beach in front of him, crouched down and observed the shallow footprints that were almost hidden by the sand on the beach, barely visible.
The guy who drove the boat was supposed to be towing the heavy fishing boat to shore, and the footprints on the sand would be left with shallow marks.
He took his shoes and compared them, and the footprints should be the size of a woman's feet.
Heading west from Kamiza Island, this island should be the closest, and if there are no deviations or accidents, "Little Thief Meow" should appear on this island.
Presumably, she was afraid that the naval warships would chase after her, so she left in such a hurry, but in order to cope with the journey to the next island, she should choose to supply food here, and according to this independent fishing boat, there is a good chance of staying on this island......
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the jungle, and Bucky looked up to see black skull flags raised in the grass, and a muffled voice came out.
"You, you...... I have been, I am surrounded, hurry up and leave this island, or my Captain Usopp's eighty million men will ......" The voice suddenly became excited, "cut off your heads!! ”
"Wow wow!" Xiuma exclaimed, and a bright light appeared in his eyes, "Eighty million...... That can be eaten for a long time! ”
"Eighty million?" Bucky stood up and carefully surveyed the terrain around him, "I think it's just four people. ”
"Ahh was discovered, run quickly......" The skeleton flag in the bushes fell, and several young figures hurriedly fled.
The grass fell silent for a moment, and no more sound was heard, a strange silence that puzzled all the pirates.
"What's going on?" Kabaji hugged his arms to the side, "The thunder is heavy and the rain is small, what kind of interesting scene did I think there will be......"
At last, a man with a long nose sprang out of the grass and stood on a high slope, and the bad premonition that he had been haunting the strange fellow all night had risen early in the morning and stayed here......
He looked at the pirates below in a cold sweat, and swallowed: "Hey, I'm Captain Usopp who rules this village, if you want to attack this village, I advise you to get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise...... Otherwise......"
Bucky raised his eyes and asked, "How else?" ”
"I know you're murderous pirates in the East China Sea, but even ...... It's the Bucky Pirates, so what! Usopp clenched the slingshot in his hand, "I won't show mercy either!" ”
"Hey, look, slingshot, his weapon is a slingshot!" The pirates on the rocky beach laughed.
"I'm much better at playing with a slingshot than yours......" Usopp loaded the slingshot with lead bullets and pulled it back, the sweat on his face falling down one by one.
"Even if you are chased by someone with a weapon, even if you are scolded by someone, but this is my village after all, I like this village so much, I want to protect everyone, I will not allow you to destroy this village!"
"It's a good thing to have courage, but it's sad not to have the strength to match courage, and it's too optimistic to naively think that this will drive out the enemy."
Bucky looked at the face that was exactly the same as in the comics, and the corners of his mouth outlined a sly smile, "Xiuma, knock him down." ”
"Oh......"
Xiu Ma made a "moon step", stepped on the air a few flashes, and in the blink of an eye, he appeared on the right side of the stunned Usopp, his body half hanging in the air, and his right foot was raised high.
"Sorry, longnose ingredient ......"
As soon as he finished speaking, his right foot was kicked in Usopp's back like a furious whip, and the huge force kicked Usopp out like a meteor and slammed into the mountain wall.
There was only a thud, and a whole piece of rock on the mountain wall collapsed, and the rubble and dust flew together, burying Usopp's body underneath.
