Chapter 726: Ninja Village
Marko's description, Ian understood it, these specious "monsters" are actually just some rare birds and beasts, but because of the isolation of the country, they have too little knowledge, so they treat these rare birds and beasts as monsters, and even make up some legends for these 'monsters'.
There are many strange creatures in this world, and Ian has seen a lot of them over the years, so even if he suddenly sees some kind of creature that he hasn't seen before, he will just be novel, and he will not treat these creatures as monsters, not only him, but also the people who sail on this sea, basically have this reaction, this is the cognitive gap between people in the outside world and people in the country of Wano.
As they spoke, the three of them approached the edge of the island, and began to descend in height, landing on a relatively flat spot on a cliff by the sea.
The people of Wano Country are very xenophobic, and under the policy of seclusion, this country does not have a large port at all, because he does not welcome people from outside to come to this country, and at the same time they rarely go to sea themselves.
Of course, since it is born by the sea, seafood and aquatic products are naturally an important source of food, so there are fishermen in Wano Country, but these fishermen generally do not leave the island too far, one is not allowed by the law on the island, and the other is because it is easy to have an accident if you leave too far, not only the climate at sea is changeable, but also there are fierce sea kings, and a small fishing boat can not withstand any wind and waves.
Marco was the guide, and he had been to the country before, so after landing, he told Ian that he was going to find a nearby fishing village near the coast to check out where their landing location was.
When he landed before, Marco took advantage of the altitude advantage in the air to look around, and vaguely saw that there seemed to be a village in the north, so he planned to go to this village first.
Bonnie was suddenly depressed and said, "Haven't you been here?" Why do you have to ask someone!? ”
Marco spread his hands and said: "No way, the navigation route and the flight route are two different things at all, if you fly, you can take a straight line, and the navigation is to bypass many islands and reefs and the like, and when our Whitebeard Pirates landed in Wano Country, they only landed in the 'Nine Miles' ruled by the Guangyue family, and we haven't been to other places at all!" ”
"So, now what we have to determine is how far this is from 'Nine Miles', and in which direction, right?" Ian asked.
Marco nodded, that's what he meant.
"Then why don't you just fly to the village?" Bonnie said puzzledly: "You still walked over on the ground?" ”
"The people of Wano Country are very receptive to novelties!" Marco smiled and said, "Let's just fly over like this, we won't be shot by them with bows and arrows!" So it's better to avoid these troubles. ”
Ian was also a little puzzled, and said, "Since that's the case, then let's just go to the village like this, will it cause trouble?" If we look like this, no matter how you look at it, it's all people from outside! ”
"There's no way around this!" Marco said: "Actually, I also thought about it before, first get a few sets of clothes for the residents of Wano Country to wear, but then I think about it, the men here basically wear their hair in a bun, and the women have to wear masks when they go out, so we can't do the same!?" ”
it! Ian couldn't help but reach out and touch his hair, thinking that if his ponytail hair turned into a bun like a skyrocketing braid, then he might as well die!
"Oh my God!" Bonnie was also dumbfounded, how did she feel that the more she listened to Marco's description, the more she felt that the people of Wano Country were like dirt buns!? Women have to wear masks when they go out?!
"So, no matter how we dress up, our temperament is still very different from that of the people of Wano Country, since this is the case, then we can just go in like this!" Marco said: "It's just that the residents here will be wary of us anyway......"
"Be vigilant, be vigilant!" Ian said speechlessly: "As long as you ask for directions, we will fly over directly!" ”
After discussing this, the three of them began to walk through the forest, towards the small village to the north.
Along the way, Ian did see a lot of strange creatures in the forest, these creatures that inhabit the forest are not afraid of people, the weaker creatures, when they see Ian and them, they look at them curiously, and the fiercer ones still want to try to attack them, but unfortunately none of them can please them.
Bonnie originally looked at the forest, a squirrel with a body that would blow up was quite cute, so she wanted to catch one and take it away, but Marco stopped her and said, "Don't mess around, although the people of Wano Country call these rare beasts monsters, in fact, they are not afraid of these monsters, but worship them!" So don't catch these creatures, because no one knows if the creature you catch is one of the monsters they worship, and many pirates who came to Wano Country at the beginning were because of these rare beasts, which caused the people of Wano Country to be disgusted and cause conflicts. ”
Hearing Marco say this, Bonnie didn't dare to ask for it, and the three of them shuttled through the forest, and when they encountered those ferocious creatures, they were only stunned.
Seeing that he was approaching the location of the village, Ian suddenly heard a strange birdsong, which echoed through the forest, at first there was only one, but then the same sound came in the distance, one after the other, as if echoing.
Marco naturally heard it, and couldn't help but change his face, and said, "This is ...... Alert signals!? There's a secret sentry in the village!? ”
Before he finished speaking, he saw that the trees not far away began to shake, and several figures bounced on these branches, and it didn't take long for the three of them to find that they were surrounded by dozens of people!
The people who surrounded them all crouched on the trees, looking at the three of them condescendingly.
Ian looked up and saw the appearance of these people, and found that they were all dressed in black suits, with their heads covered in turbans, and their faces covered by face bandanas, leaving only a pair of eyes.
At the same time, at the waist of these black-clothed people, they all carried a short knife.
Ninja? This was Ian's first reaction, because the dress of these men in black was too similar to the ninjas in his impression!
Marco also noticed these black-clothed ninjas, and whispered in surprise, "What's going on?" Could it be that this village is not a fishing village!? Why are there so many ninjas!? ”
In the same way, Ian also had a strange expression on his face, of course he heard Marko's words, since it is not a fishing village, and there are so many ninjas, could it be said that this is the legendary ninja village!?
Hey, which of your units!? Is it from Konoha Ninja Village or from Fog Hidden Ninja Village!?
For a moment, Ian thought he had crossed over again...... Traveled to the Hokage......
This Nima always feels that the painting style is wrong......
Before Ian could finish his sigh, he heard one of the ninjas on the tree ask, "Who's coming!?" Why trespass on the forbidden land!? ”
Well, that's probably what it means, Ian thinks these guys speak in a weird tone, and under normal circumstances, shouldn't it be a question: Who are you?
Because of Uncle Fuji Tiger's relationship, Ian often heard him have a similar tone, such as claiming to be under or something, but after joining the Dragon Hunter Pirates, Fuji Tiger's tone has become much less, and his habit of speaking has gradually been corrected.
Ian hadn't dealt much with the people of Wano Country, so he looked at Marko and asked him to answer.
Marco raised his head and looked at these ninjas and said, "Don't get me wrong, we are from overseas, we don't know that this is a forbidden place, we just look at a village here, and we want to ask for directions!" ”
The ninjas could see that the three of them were from overseas, but they also saw the tattoos on Ian's arms and Marko's chest at this time.
The tattoo on Marko's chest was not bad, but the tattoo on Ian's arm was the mark of the Dragon Hunter Pirates, the skeletal dragon head that was pierced by the sword, which was immediately recognized by the ninjas, and the ninja who spoke before exclaimed: "Pirates!?" ”
Basically, as long as there is a tattoo with a skull pattern, it will be hooked with pirates, which is common sense.
And when these ninjas found out Ian's identity as a pirate, the three of them immediately saw what kind of attitude the people of this country have towards pirates!
"Get out! Wano Country is not welcome! ”
The ninja at the head let out a loud shout, while the rest of the ninjas all pulled out their short knives at their waists at once.
With the bright sword light and very unkind eyes, the people of Wano Country hate pirates for fun!
Seeing this scene, Ian gave Marco a look and asked him what to do, do you want to do it?
Marco was also hesitating, to be honest, although he had also been to the country of Wano, the people he had been in contact with before had always been the people of the Guangyue family, and he had not had much contact with other regions.
Because the relationship with the Guangyue family is not bad, Marco has a good sense of the people in Wano Country, but he didn't expect that the attitude of these ninjas he met this time was really huge enough from the attitude of the people in Wano Country in his impression.
Moreover, the ninja class is in Wano Country, and the samurai class is the same as the samurai class, all of which serve the princely forces such as the generals or daimyo of Wano Country, and since this is a ninja village, it means that there must be a big man in Wano Country behind it......
Ian also noticed Marko's hesitation, and immediately understood his thoughts.
But...... Ian doesn't have much to do with the people of Wano Country, he came here just to find Fujitora and Ace as soon as possible and bring them back.
Anyone who stands in his way is an enemy in Ian's eyes!
That's why he didn't care so much, the thousand Sakura and the Black Wing Great Demon on his waist were pulled out directly!
The choking sound immediately caused a stress reaction from the ninjas, so when Ian's blade was just pulled out, a wave of overwhelming shurikens had been thrown out by the ninjas and smashed into the three of them!
