The beauty of the sea lies in the fact that no one knows what will happen tomorrow on this blue ocean.

After Luffy and his party defeated Klockdahl, they came to the world-famous Golden Country Gaya, where they met Vinblan Kulik, who had strange plants on his head, and was a descendant of the Great Talk King Rolando, who dived day and night to find clues to the Golden Country and Sky Island in order to correct his ancestors' name.

Luffy and his gang went through several twists and turns after meeting Kulik, the battle with the hyena Bellamy, and the first encounter with Blackbeard. Eventually, in order to prevent Kulik and the monkey from diveting to death, he is determined to find the empty island and ring the golden bell to fulfill Kulik's wish.

Eventually, he succeeded, and although he failed to ring the golden bell, he brought down the products of the Sky Island, and explained that there was indeed another half of Gaya Island on the Sky Island, but the gold was all gone, and was used by a guy named God Anilu to make a flying ship, and then disappeared along with the people and the ship.

That's enough, all Kulik really cares about is to justify his ancestors, and now that the existence of Sky Island has been confirmed, the hat of the "big liar" on the head of his ancestor Rolando can finally be removed.

As for gold or anything, he didn't care at all.

Originally, he salvaged the gold just to find clues to the empty island, but now that the existence of the empty island has been confirmed, there is no need for the so-called salvage operation to continue.

Saying goodbye to Kulik and the diving monkey, Luffy and his party continue on their way.

"The gold was taken by Duten?"

On the way to the next island, Luffy suddenly heard this speculation, and his eyes suddenly widened. Even the mouthful full of food was forgotten.

"That's right......"

Nami holds a delicious black tea that Sanji prepared for her. He said while sipping tea.

"I don't know if you remember when we met Duten earlier. At that time, the navy of the natural system was at war with a natural ability of the thunder attribute, and the senior sister of Sauron also called him Anilu at that time. In the information we received on the Sky Island, the god was called Anilu, and he also had the ability to control thunder and lightning, and before he disappeared, he had a great war with someone, and the whole Sky Island could feel it at that time.

Add to that the trait that each Devil Fruit is unique, this Anilu. Nine times out of ten, it is the god Anilu on the empty island, he has become the subordinate of Du Teng, and the gold he originally collected should have been taken away by Du Teng. ”

With so many clues, Nami would be hell if she couldn't guess again.

The expressions of the other people on the ship were a little solemn, this white bear general Du Teng was like a ghost that did not go away, no matter where they went, they could hear and see the news of this person, and this person appeared in front of them from time to time. The thought of his group being targeted by an admiral made everyone shudder.

Whether it's the thunder fruit ability. It's still Sauron's senior sisters, and they can't deal with it now. Shoot at any of them. to destroy all of them.

As for the Admiral White Bear, who was loyal to both of them, what about his strength? People can't even think about it.

"Hmm...... It is worthy of Du Teng, and it is really powerful. ”

Only Luffy was smiling heartlessly, his mouth full of food, and as soon as he spoke, food dregs spewed out, making the table all over the table.

For their own captain's heartlessness, everyone has long been accustomed to it. According to Luffy, he, Ace and Du Teng are brothers who have been friends since childhood, and their relationship is quite iron. But the others will not let their guard down because of this, in the end, the positions of the two sides are still opposite, and they have not seen each other for many years, and the ghost knows if the other party is still the same as it was back then, if that person has been completely brainwashed by the navy, so as to be hostile to them, but they don't know it, and they still care about contact with each other.

When the time comes, I am afraid that it will really be impossible to prevent it.

So at this moment, the other people on the road spaceship all made up their minds that no matter what Luffy thought of this white bear general, they would definitely not be able to let their guard down.

With this realization, Luffy and his party continued on the road.

Next, they first came to the Longchain Island, where they met the silver fox Foxy with the fruit of sluggishness, this guy wanted to compete with Luffy and his party, and the loser companion was going to join his command, of course Luffy disagreed.

After a hard battle, they finally defeated Foxy and kept their companions, and they began to make their way to their next destination, the Capital of the Seven Waters.

This capital of seven waters is a very remarkable place, which can be called the Venice of the pirate world, and is the largest shipbuilding base in the world. Home to almost some of the world's best shipbuilders, the city looks like a big factory.

Luffy and his party have traveled all the way, and the Golden Merry they are riding on has already been scarred, even if they don't know how to know about ships, they will never think that this ship is no problem when they see those cracks on Merry's body. It just so happened that the next stop was the capital of the seven waters, and Luffy and the others had already thought about it, and as soon as they arrived at the place, they would spend money to repair the Merry.

This is their first ship, and their most important companion, and even the most heartless Luffy doesn't want to wait for the Merry to be completely scrapped.

But before they could reach the capital of the Seven Waters, they encountered a very terrifying enemy halfway through.

"Admiral...... Pheasant! ”

When Robin shouted these words in horror, Luffy and his party suddenly became nervous.

Luffy clenched his fists, Zoro pulled out his long knife, and Sanji raised his right foot...... Admiral, for them now, it is still an unattainable existence, no one expected to meet the admiral here, and it seems that he is still waiting for them, which makes Luffy suddenly nervous.

"Ahhh

The pheasant was still out of tune as always, and his tone was very relaxed.

Luffy relaxed at the time, but the others were still very nervous.

As it turned out, their fears were right.

Although the pheasant had no intention of arresting them at first, in fact, as time passed, the pheasant changed his decision and prepared to take action against Luffy and the others.

"Although it will make the benefactor very sad to do this, I really can't let you grow up."

The pheasant said with a sad face, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all, and as soon as he got started, he froze Robin into an ice sculpture.

This scene scared the others half to death, and Usopp and Chopper were so frightened that their mouths were not good.

"Hurry up, I'll stop him!"

Luffy roared angrily and stood in front of the pheasant, creating time for his companions to leave. As for what would happen to him when he faced the pheasant alone, he couldn't think about it that much, he only had one goal now - to save his companions!

"Courage is commendable, but your strength is too weak, you can't stop me."

The pheasant shook his head and said expressionlessly.

"And what if it's me? Is it really good to bully a young man like this? General Kuzan, this is not your style, you could let go of Nico Robin back then, why can't you let go of this brother of mine today? ”

Just as the pheasant was about to make a move, a familiar voice suddenly came from behind him.

The pheasant didn't need to look back at all to know who was coming, and he could get close to such a person silently, except for Du Teng, who didn't think about it anymore. He turned his head slightly, looking at Du Teng, who appeared behind him at some point.

"Dutten! What are you doing here! ”

Luffy exclaimed in the distance, a look of surprise on his face.

"You don't care about this, you can go quickly, I'll leave it here."

Du Teng waved his hand, flashed, and appeared in front of Luffy, blocking the pheasant's way.

"That'...... I'll leave it to you! Thank you! ”

Luffy thought for a moment, turned around and left. It's not that he's ruthless and unrighteous, Luffy doesn't need to be explained too much. It's that he knows that Du Teng is very strong, and he already knew it when the three brothers trained together, so he is very relieved that Du Teng is here. In addition, Du Teng and the pheasant were in the navy at the same time, and the pheasant would not be in danger of Du Teng, so Luffy walked away very simply.

When he was far away, the pheasant withdrew his gaze.

"Can you protect him for a while, and can you protect him for a lifetime? Since he has followed the path of a pirate, he will inevitably keep moving forward. Even if he doesn't get caught by me, he will be defeated by others, and even if he can get away with defeating all the enemies, he will eventually be caught when his bounty order is too high for the navy to ignore. You don't need me to explain this, you know very well. ”

"Of course."

Du Teng smiled and nodded.

"It's just that my brother-in-law has always been a brainless person. He will definitely grow up in the future, but now he is still very immature, and I, as a brother, can help if I can. You say, don't you? ”

"Ahh But, I can't explain it to you just letting my target go. ”

The pheasant scratched its head, a look of distress.

"Confess? To whom? Sengoku Marshal? I don't remember when he gave the order for you to hunt down Luffy. ”

"But he didn't remove the warrants for them. And when did I say that I was going to give an account to the Marshal of the Warring States? What I need to explain is my own fighting spirit! ”

The pheasant suddenly laughed, and the cold air was wild, and the ground around him turned into a field of ice and snow in a moment.

"The frozen fruit is really not ordinary......"

Du Teng felt the chill in the air and couldn't help but sigh.

"Then I see, let me be your opponent, Admiral Kuzan."

Du Teng laughed, suddenly jumped back, jumped out of the frozen range, squatted down, and patted his palm lightly on the ground.

"Golem!"

The ice suddenly shattered, and a rock giant dozens of meters high rose from the ground, aimed at the pheasant's location, and smashed it down with a punch.

The huge impact sound suddenly resounded throughout the island, and Luffy and the others, who were fleeing, hurriedly looked back, only to see the stone giant pounding the ground frantically.

"This ...... What kind of thing is this? ”

The group was shocked, looking at the huge figure of the stone giant, and they couldn't turn their eyes away. (To be continued.) )
