Chapter 41: The Arsonist

The scorching sun is head-on, and the eyes are full of gold.

At this time, Jing Tian was in the middle of an endless desert, and there was no white cloud in the sky, and the scorching sun was sprinkled unscrupulously, making the scene above the sand layer of the desert become a little distorted, and the heat wave was constantly flowing around against the sand layer.

It's been two days since I arrived in Rape Flower City, the first day I got in touch with Smoker, and the next day I accompanied Nami to visit the scenery of the desert town, and today, Jing Tian left Nami in Rape Flower City, handed over to Smoker and Dusty to take care of, and he went out alone to find something.

Navy soldiers sent by Smoker sailed to the other side of the canal, and then landed alone and began to walk through the desert according to the map, looking for the stone tablet engraved with the 'historical text'.

Yes, although the stele is not shown in the manga and only appears in the anime, it is in the ending given by Eichi Oda.

There are four types of steles engraved with 'historical texts', the first is a stele that records information about ancient weapons; The second type of stele records the location of ancient weapons; The third type of stele records some different histories, and these historical texts can be combined with the historical texts on other steles, and after interpretation, they are the real 'historical texts', recording what happened during the 'blank 100 years'.

The last stele is dark red, there are four pieces, respectively, recording the four coordinates of the new world, connecting the four coordinates in series, the line will give a coordinate point, and the island with the body hidden in this coordinate point is the end of the great voyage - Ralph Drew, also known as the world - OnePiece.

Four dark red stone tablets are scattered around the world, and two of them are rubbings in the hands of the Four Emperors Kaido and Charlotte Lingling.

The remaining two pieces, one of which is hidden in the elephant's back island 'Zou', and the last one is in 'Alabastan', buried in the desert at the foot of Jing Tian.

The location of the last stele is probably clear, and after landing on the other side of the canal, there are ruins of an ancient city on high ground in the desert between the coast and the inland town of 'Juba'. In the desert near the ruins, there is a spherical boulder, and below it is a temple that contains a stone tablet of the 'Historical Text'.

I know it, but it's not so easy to find, although Jing Tian has a map in hand, but don't forget his idiot attributes......

The desert began to run around, jumping into the air with moon steps from time to time to explore, and Jing Tian searched for a whole day.

"Brubru Bru, Brubru ......"

In the evening, the voice of the phone bug rang, Jing Tian sighed, took off the shade cloth on his head, put his hand into his arms, and took out the phone bug.

"Earls, haven't you found it yet?" Nami's voice rang out.

"Ah, I haven't found it yet." Jing Tian replied in disgust.

"I said that I would help you find it together, but you didn't agree, how about it? Are you lost again now? Nami smiled.

"With such a big desert, I don't know if I'm lost, anyway, the scene is the same." Jing Tian was depressed, and after glancing around, he simply sat on the ground.

"Haha, you know." A burst of laughter rang out, and at the same time, Dusty's laughter faintly came.

After a while, Nami stopped laughing and said, "I'll teach you a way." ”

"What's a great idea?" Jing Tian immediately came to the spirit.

"Where you walked, you left a little mark with your knife so that you knew where you walked and where you didn't." "It saves you a lot of time," Nami says.

"That's rightβ€”" Jing Tian suddenly realized, he had been thinking about it all along, and he didn't think about anything else at all, and as a result, he ignored this common-sense method.

"Okay, you can't come back today, can you?" Nami asked.

"Well, I have a feeling that I'm afraid tomorrow will be enough." Jing Tian grinned, his face depressed.

"Hahaha." Nami laughed again, and then said, "Then you can look for it over there, don't worry about me, I've had Dusty accompany me everywhere for the past two days, and I'll stay on the boat the rest of the time to read the books that the cigarette man has delivered." ”

"Okay, call me if you have something, I have the ability to come back to you immediately." Jing Tian advised.

"Come back immediately?" Nami was stunned: "What ability?" Why haven't I heard you say that? ”

"That trick couldn't be used before, but I just reached the conditions for using it two days ago, so I'll talk to you slowly when I go back."

"yes, okay."

"Then I'll hang up, I'm going to feed the snails some water." Jing Tian looked at the snail in his palm and said.

"Well, be careful." Nami responded, and then hung up the communication.

Jing Tian put down the microphone, then took out a small bucket from the cloth bag behind him, inserted a straw, and handed the straw to the listless snail's mouth.

The snail's half-open eyes lit up, and he quickly bit the straw into his mouth, and 'purred' for a while.

After a while, the phone snail spit out the straw in satisfaction, handed Jing Tian a grateful look, and then closed his eyes and began to fall asleep.

Jing Tian looked up at the gradually darkening sky, simply took out the tent from his backpack, set it up quickly, and then took out the lunch box prepared by Xiaoba from the bag, sat on the ground and ate it.

A night's rest is not tabled.

The next day, the harsh sunlight pierced through the tent and woke Jing Tian up.

Getting up in a daze, Jing Tian ate a box of bento after a simple wash, and then fed some of the residue to the phone snail until the hands of the pocket watch reached ten o'clock, and Jing Tian set off.

With a few bangs, Jing Tian stepped on the moon steps and jumped into the sky, and then raised his sword and waved it three times at the desert below.

In silence, a large arrow appeared on the desert below.

After waiting in the air for a while, and roughly calculating, the result was satisfactory to Jing Tian, if there was no storm, it would take more than a day for Sha Shuo to fill up the arrow trace.

One day was enough, and at Jing Tian's speed, he thought it would be enough for him to search the entire desert.

In this way, Jing Tian stepped on the air the soles of his feet, and with the principle of the 'Instantaneous Technique', he quickly flew away in the direction pointed by the arrow marks.

While flying for a distance, Jing Tian felt the aura in his body, and roughly estimated that Jing Tian predicted that it would not be far from his successful use of the 'Dancing Sky Technique'.

Although all the moves that use the aura have become less powerful and controllable due to the influence of the 'demonic power', it is still barely able to use those moves to produce some effects, which is enough for Jing Tian, at least the flight is stronger than the constant moon steps like now......

In the blink of an eye, another day passed, and Jing Tian, who was fruitless again, set up his tent depressedly and began to rest.

Although with Nami's guidance, Jing Tian's road idiot attribute is too powerful.

Throughout the day, Jing Tian didn't know how many times he had gone back to the original path, although he followed the arrow mark and re-chose the direction to set off, but he just didn't know what was going on, and he went around and went back to the original point.

Later, Jing Tian simply left a new sword qi arrow every time he couldn't see the previous arrow, so that his progress could finally be regarded as progressing, and there would be no embarrassing situation of 'going back to the coast'.

After routine practice, he fell asleep in the middle of the night, and the next day, Jing Tian set out on the journey again.

Approaching noon, Jing Tian in the air suddenly let out a cheer, and the speed of the moon step increased sharply, rushing towards the looming ruins in the distance.

Soon, Jing Tian came to the sky above the ruins, and his eyes looked down at the ruins below with a little excitement.

"I finally found it, damn it, the Straw Hats met unexpectedly the next day, but I was stupid to run around this desert for so long......"

Depressed, Jing Tian waved his hand and drew an arrow on the right side of the ruins, and then followed the arrow and began to explore, looking for the spherical hollow stone mountain.

This time he was lucky, and after about half an hour, Jing Tian unexpectedly saw the huge stone ball, and immediately swooped down on the moon step.

"Hu ......" came to the bottom of the spherical rock, and the sudden cool breeze made Jing Tian breathe a sigh of relief.

Unable to enjoy it, Jing Tian glanced around and found a half-meter-high stone, and immediately walked briskly and stepped on it.

Wow –

As if it was a trap, the rock instantly sank under Shashuo, and a dark sand hole appeared, and the surrounding Shashuo quickly plunged into the cave.

"Finally found it!" Jing Tian jumped as he spoke, throwing his body into the sand hole.

The light in front of him dimmed, and the next moment, Jing Tian appeared in a huge empty space.

Quickly adjusting to the darkness in front of him, Jing Tian stepped forward and walked straight to the square stone tablet in the middle of the hall.

"Brubru Bru, Brubru ......"

The voice of the phone bug suddenly sounded in the quiet space, which made Jing Tian stunned, stopped the action of interpreting the content of the stone tablet, and took out the phone bug.

Looking at the expression of the phone bug, he knew that it was Nami, so Jing Tian asked directly, "What's wrong Nami?" ”

"There was chaos in the city, and there were fires everywhere." Nami's voice was a little worried, "Haven't you found it over there?" ”

"I just found it, then I'll go back immediately, you wait for me on the boat and don't run around." Jing Tian calculated the date, and it was clear that today was the day the Straw Hats arrived, and it was also the day when the Straw Hats arrived. On the day D. Ace appeared, it was no wonder that there was fire everywhere, after all, that Ace was a flame man who ate the 'Burning Fruit'.

"Okay, I'm on the boat right now, just a little worried about Dusty." Nami said.

"Don't worry, Smoker will take care of her and won't put Dusty in danger." Jing Tian appeased, and then said: "Okay, I'll do the rubbing right away and go back soon." ”

"Hmm." Nami answered, ending the communication.

Putting down the microphone, Jing Tian took the snail back into his arms, and then spared half a circle around the half-buried stone stele, and stretched out his feet to completely lift the stone stele.

Taking out the rubbing tools from his backpack, Jing Tian quickly rubbed the ancient characters on the stele.

After finishing the matter, Jing Tian thought about it, immediately jumped on the stone tablet, and stomped down with his right foot.

Boom –

The stele instantly sank under the ground, and was quickly completely covered by a layer of sand.

"Mission accomplished." Jing Tian raised his head and looked at the entrance that came in, and then kicked his feet hard, and his body 'swished' up into the sky and flew out of the gap.

Landing to stabilize his body, Jing Tian closed his eyes, and carefully sensed the 'qi' on Nami's body, and after more than ten minutes, Jing Tian grabbed the feeling, and the next moment, the figure disappeared in an instant.

Boom –

A sound sounded as if the sound barrier had been broken, and a loud noise set off an equally huge wave of air, blowing everything around it apart.

There was a chaotic clang, accompanied by a short scream from Nami.

"What are you doing!" Nami grabbed the door frame as she stepped back, finally stabilizing her body that had been pushed away by the air wave, and immediately complained about Jing Tian's sudden appearance.

"Tsk, the sequelae are so big." Jing Tian looked at the messy room and frowned slightly.

"That's what you're talking about?" Nami's curiosity came up, and she came to Jing Tian's side and asked, "How did you do it?" ”

"It's useless to know, if you want to learn this trick, you have to go through a longer period of cultivation first." Jing Tian smiled slightly, and then said, "Okay, next time I use this trick, you should find an open place first, otherwise my appearance will make the surroundings chaotic." ”

"Then don't talk about that yet, you go to the city and have a look, it won't be good if Dusty is in danger." Nami urged.

"Well, be careful when you stay on board." Keizam bowed, and then walked out of the cabin in response to Nami's call.

The situation in the city was indeed chaotic, with several fires and smoke rising into the sky, and crowds of people shouting in panic everywhere.

Boom –

A fire suddenly burst out again behind the building in the distance, and Jing Tian immediately flew up, jumped onto the roof of a house, and quickly jumped towards that side.

Soon Jing Tian arrived at the scene and glanced at Dusty who was surrounded in the distance, and after seeing that the other party had no problem, Jing Tian focused on the battle off the field.

"Haha, useless White Hunter Smoker!" Wearing a cowboy hat, **** upper body, and the 'Whitebeard Pirates' logo tattooed on his back, Ace laughed loudly, burning with fluttering flames all over his body, and said to the gloomy Smoker: "It's all said, you are smoke, I am fire, we can't tell the difference." ”

"Arrogance!" Smoker clenched his hands tightly and gritted his teeth and roared at Ace.

"Smoker, what are you doing?" Jing Tian's voice suddenly sounded, which surprised everyone in the audience.

"You're back!" A hint of joy flashed across Smoker's face, and he immediately said loudly: "Bastard Earls, although I don't want you to interfere, this guy is too important!" Help me take him down! ”

"Oh? Nosy? Sir is the Navy? Ace asked Jing Tian with a hippie smile.

"No, I'm just an adventurer."

"I see, since Mr. is not a navy, can you not meddle? It's so much trouble that I'm about to run away. Ace said with a grin.

"Leave the compensation." Jing Tian Road.

"What?" Eslen, Smoker and Navy are also flute.

"Arson everywhere in the city...... You're not going to take it seriously at all, are you? Jing Tian tilted his head slightly and looked at Ace and said, "Who is responsible for the property and mental losses of ordinary people?" ”

"Uh...... I'm sorry. Ace looked embarrassed, and then suddenly bowed deeply to Jing Tian: "I don't have any money." ”

"What rambling with him! Or do you not know who he is? Smoker frowned and said, "He's the second captain of the 'Whitebeard Pirates'!" It's a villain who doesn't forgive him, and he doesn't help take him down! ”

After Smoker finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly added to Jing Tian: "His bounty is 550 million Bailey!" ”

With a twitch of the corner of Jing Tian's mouth, Smoker was rarely smart, and continued to threaten Jing Tian: "Think of that hateful woman on your ship! If she knew you had let go of such a big bounty, the consequences would ......"

"You've learned badly...... Jing Tian said to Smoker with a smile on his face, and then jumped off the roof.

"Bounty hunters?" Ace looked at Jing Tian curiously.

"Adventurer, didn't I just say that?" Jing Tian looked at Ace like an idiot: "What did you listen to just now?" ”

"Oh, I'm sorry, I beg your pardon, I have a bad memory." Ace bowed again and apologized.

"Where's your knife?" Smoker suddenly asked Jing Tian.

"Fell on the boat." Jing Tian was stunned: "Nami was too worried about Dusty and urged more urgently, so I forgot about it." ”

"You're a swordsman! Forget your weapon? Smoker said angrily: "The treasure knife is really worthless for you!" Just make a bid! Our Navy bought! ”

"Okay!"

There was a sudden cheer from behind, causing Jing Tian and Smoker to turn their heads at the same time.

Suddenly, as if he had done something wrong, Dusty shrank back into the array of naval soldiers.

"Take it!" Smoker was afraid that Jing Tian would blame Dusty for his impulsiveness, so he hurriedly stuffed his ten hands into Jing Tian's arms: "Lend it to you!" Help take him down! I'm here to help! ”

"Uh, I'm sorry......" Ace is not stupid, in his opinion, even Smoker, an opponent who is evenly matched with him, has to seek Jing Tian's help, and can also say the word 'help', then Jing Tian's strength should be very strong.

And looking at Smoker's appearance, he seemed to have full confidence in Jing Tian, so Ace immediately felt that he was afraid to hang.

Immediately apologized to Jing Tian again with a sincere face, and Ace said with a smile: "Can you let me go this time, I will definitely come back to compensate for it when I have money in the future." ”

"It's okay, exchanging you for a bounty is enough to compensate." Under Smoker's repeated urging and threats, Jing Tian couldn't help but make a move, so he smiled at Ace and gently raised ten hands.

"Hey, it's so troublesome......" Ace sighed, raised his hand to press the hat on his head, and chuckled: "I almost ran away just now, but I didn't expect it to be extraneous again." ”

"Humph! Stay! Knave! Smoker attacked first, his arms turning into billowing smoke and winding around Ace.

"Huh...... Yan Shangzuna ......" Ace chuckled, and flicked his arm in a whisper.

Boom –

On the ground between the two sides, a wall of fire suddenly rose up.

"Haha, White Hunter Smoker, you better step down, your moves are completely useless to me." Ace threw his backpack over his shoulders and laughed at Smoker through the wall of fire.

Jing Tian looked left and right on both sides of the street, and saw that Ace's wall of fire did not burn the house, so he nodded slightly, and then waved his ten hands vigorously from the bottom up.

Whew-

A tornado suddenly appeared, instantly engulfing the flames of the wall of fire and causing the flames to gradually dissipate in the sky.

"Uh...... It's so powerful, the Bista brothers can't even think of this trick. Ace was stunned, the scene in front of him made the corners of his mouth twitch, and when he looked at Jing Tian again, his eyes were already more vigilant.

"Good!" Smoker laughed out loud in relief and said to Jing Tian, "I owe you a personal favor this time." ”

"Don't be happy so early." Jing Tian sighed and shook his head: "Smoker, calm down, think about where this is, is it really good to start a war with him here?" ”

"Nonsense, if it weren't for the fact that he jumped off the wall in a hurry, would I have just held back so much." Smoker said angrily as he looked at Ace angrily.

"Oops." Ace suddenly showed a look of sudden realization, and then laughed and said, "Thank you for reminding, so the two of you, do you want to continue to entangle with me here?" ”

"How about going out of town?" Jing Tian said to Ace.

"Outside the city......" Ace's eyes rolled, obviously thinking something.

Soon, Ace nodded and said, "Okay, let's go fight outside the city." ”

Jing Tian smiled and followed Ace out of the city.

"Dusty." Smoker didn't immediately follow, but turned around and called Dusty over, and quickly ordered, "I didn't expect this to happen before, so you go to the ship immediately now and get the Hailou Stone weapon." ”

"Yes!" Dusty responded.

"After taking the weapons and distributing them properly, surround the battlefield outside the city for me, and I must not let the white-bearded man escape!"

"Yes!"

"Go." Smoker let out a low snort, and then his body instantly turned into smoke and chased in the direction where Jing Tian and Ace had left.

Outside the city, far from the edge of the town, Jing Tian and Ace stopped in a flat desert.

Ace turned around and glanced at Smoker, who was rushing in the distance, and then said to Jing Tian with a flattering smile: "Oh, this gentleman, can you please let me go this time, I finally met my brother who has been separated for a long time just now, and now I am in a hurry to find him." ”

"What do you think?" Jing Tian pursed his lips.

"Forget it, I'm unlucky." Ace chuckled indifferently, raised his hand and pressed his hat, and then the corners of his mouth playfully hooked, and said slowly to Jing Tian: "Then this gentleman, please be careful next, my ability is even more powerful in the open field......"

"Come on." Jing Tian gently waved his ten hands at his side: "Let me see what that guy with Whitebeard has taught you over the years." ”

"Follow Daddy...... I've learned a lot......"

Ace chuckled, his body slowly lowered his weight, and the next moment, he turned into a burning man with a 'boom'...... (To be continued.) )
