Chapter 60: The Ritual
The island of Gaya is, of course, not the half of the empty island, but the chaotic land of the great voyage.
This island, which used to be very chaotic, has recently become much more peaceful.
A few days ago, Bellamy, the hyena, was violently beaten by a woman, and the woman's status as a 'non-pirate' made the lawbreakers on the entire island begin to relent, for fear of provoking the woman and her accomplices.
Fortunately, the woman did not enter the town again, but parked the boat on the other side of the island and never came out of the city.
Two days later, the pirates in the town had revived, and they had become restless.
But.
On the third day, the Straw Hats landed on the island, and Bellamy, who was not yet well, began to cause trouble again, but this time he hit the hard stubble again, and the bounty of Straw Hat Luffy's '100 million Bailey' once again made the whole town begin to become noisy, and all the pirates obediently put away their tails, for fear that the Straw Hats would look at someone unpleasantly and kill them.
As for Bellamy, the hyena who was beaten twice in a row and almost dispersed by the pirates, whocare......
Although I heard that the Straw Hats had left, the woman on the other side of the island had not left, so the pirates in the town finally settled down completely, and made up their minds to be careful not to cause trouble until the woman also left.
"Ah...... It's peaceful......"
A dirty drunkard walked out of the bar, belched and sighed, and walked forward with crooked steps.
Boom!
accidentally bumped into the person opposite, and as a result, the two guys, who were not good people in terms of appearance or clothing, just looked at each other, and then nodded to each other tacitly, staggered and left quietly.
"Ah...... It's so peaceful......"
At the top of the three-story tower sat another drunkard, who shook his head and drank from the bottle when he saw the scene below.
"Uh-huh-"
Half a mouthful of red wine spurted out of the drunkard's mouth and nose, and the drunkard on the roof coughed violently as his eyes widened into the distant sky.
"That's ...... What the? β
"Hey! Watch it! There was an angry shout from below, a black thief with a head full of alcohol, his face full of anger and murderous intent.
"Ahem, sorry." The drunkard on the roof coughed and replied, "Something has fallen from the sky." β
"What a fuss." The pirates below took a 'puff' and walked away depressedly, shouting sarcastically as they walked: "What's strange, it's nothing more than a group of unlucky guys who were knocked into the sky by the rushing current, and then fell, cut, it's really unlucky, if it weren't for that hateful woman on the other side of the island...... Lao Tzu must kill you, you can't ......"
"Unlucky fellow...... The pirate on the roof looked at the distant sky again, but he couldn't see what had just fallen, shook his head, and the drunkard ignored it, and lay on the roof and slept on the spot......
The coast on the other side of the island.
"Slow down, slow downβ"
There was a cry of anxiety, and Nami lay on the side of a small sailboat, looking at the ground that was getting closer and closer, her face very unnatural.
"Don't worry, Earls won't let us have anything to do." Robin chuckled behind Nami and comforted without nervousness.
"Ahh Nami screamed again, then left the side of the ship with her eyes closed, and quickly threw herself into Robin's arms.
The support force from the feet of the two women gradually increased, and after a while, the feeling of falling on their bodies suddenly disappeared.
"When you arrive, you come down first." Jing Tian's voice rang out from below.
"To the ground?" Nami opened her eyes and was relieved to see the sight of a parallel line of sight.
"Big brother! Sister Nami! Sister Robin! Hachi heard the voice and rushed out of the 'Golden Adventure', shouting this way with a happy face.
"We're back, Hachi!" Nami turned around and waved at Hachi, then jumped off the small sailboat with Robin.
Boom! Click! Clickββ
Jing Tian threw the small sailboat he was holding on the shore, and the drop height of more than two meters suddenly broke a large part of the bottom plank of the sailboat.
"Stupid! Throw it into the sea! The boats are broken! Nami complained to Keitian in distress.
"I don't need it anyway." Jing Tian smiled indifferently, then pointed to the boat and said to Xiao Ba who ran over: "Help move things." β
"Okay big brother." Hachi nodded happily and jumped on the sailboat with Jing Tian......
After the Straw Hats left the Sky Island, Jing Tian didn't stay there for long, stayed for a day, got a lot of 'Sky Island Shells' from Gan Fore and the Sandorans, and then stayed for another night, and the next day jumped off the Sky Island and returned to the Great Voyage.
The harvest of this trip to the Sky Island is very rich, not to mention the 'Weiba' and other unique souvenirs of the Sky Island, the most precious harvest is the two large bags of 'Sky Island Shells', and even the treasures that can be piled up into a hill are nothing.
Jing Tian can be said to have wiped out all the shellfish on the empty island, and almost all the rare and extinct shellfish were in his pocket, especially the 'platoon shell' that originally belonged to Weber, Jing Tian didn't plan to return it after snatching it, and because of this, Weber didn't give Jing Tian any good looks after that.
The second level of precious shellfish is the 'slashing shellfish' and the 'squirting shell'.
Needless to say, Jing Tian has experimented with a 'Slash Bey' that a 'Slash Bey' can successfully absorb his '60% strength' of sword qi slash, depending on the quality and size of the shell, after one absorption, it can be released five to a dozen times in a row.
In this way, even if an ordinary person holds the 'Slashing Shell', he still has the attack power of the Great Sword Hero.
The wind spray is not to be underestimated, the wind force is very concentrated, it is too easy to blow a person away, not to mention that the 'wind beam' also has physical strength, it is not too simple to clean up the miscellaneous soldiers.
Of course, if you want to fight, Jing Tian doesn't need a spray shell, so he mainly uses the 'spray shell' to modify various 'Viagras', and replaces all the 'Blowing Shells' with 'Blowing Shells' on the Ice Blade Type, Skateboard Type, and Motorboat Style.
It was because of the modification of the Mighty and the experiment with other shellfish that I was delayed for another day on the Sky Island......
"Wow! Eldest brother! Who is this guy? Hachi's exclamation suddenly came from the cabin of the little sailboat.
"It's our prisoner, a big villain." Jing Tian replied casually, and then carried two huge treasure bags and stepped on the moon to board the 'Golden Adventure'.
"Hachi, be careful of that guy!" Nami reminded under the boat, "That guy is dangerous. β
"Oh, are you going to kill it?" Hachi walked out with a large bag of souvenirs and asked Nami.
"Earls is useful to keep him." Nami waved her hand.
Actually, Nami is not very in favor of killing, but Robin knows what Jing Tian is going to do with Anilu, so he very 'casually' tells Nami about Anilu's crimes, which makes Nami change her mind, and thinks that Anilu is really a great crime, even if he kills it, there is nothing.
"Hachi, imprison that guy in your water room." Jing Tian jumped back into the small sailboat and said to Xiao Hachi, "Wait for me to go to the town later, and I will clean him up when I come back." β
"Okay big brother." Hachi turned around and walked into the cabin, and then walked out with an unconscious Anilu in one hand.
After more than ten minutes of carrying back and forth, Jing Tian and Xiaoba transported all the harvest of the trip to the Sky Island back to the 'Golden Adventure'.
Leaving the three of them on the boat to tidy up, Jing Tian walked alone to the town of Gaya Island, ready to buy some fruits suitable for the transfer of the 'Thunder Fruit', after all, the fruits of the Sky Island are different from Qinghai, and there are not many that are in line with that kind of ceremony.
The process of buying fruit was very smooth, and the pirates in the town all had eyes, otherwise they wouldn't have survived that long, so after the last battle, not only Nami's face was remembered by the pirates, but even the faces of Keizam and Robin were drawn.
Seeing Jing Tian enter the town, the pirates wandering the streets suddenly became more civilized, and in this way, Jing Tian walked through all the fruit stalls all the way, successfully bought the pineapple and grapefruit and other fruits needed for the ceremony, wrapped them into a large cloth bag with a diameter of more than one meter, and returned to the 'Golden Adventure' on his back.
"Hachi, do we need to replenish our supplies?" Back on the boat, Jing Tian asked Hachi.
"Big brother who doesn't need it, I've been eating seafood these days." Hachi replied.
"What about you?" Jing Tian asked Robin and Nami, "Is there anything I need to buy on the island?" β
"Nope." Nami shook her head.
"I don't have anything I need." Robin said softly.
"That's good." Jing Tian nodded, and then said to Xiao Hachi: "Let Moo Moo open the boat, and we will set sail." β
"Okay big brother!" Hachi responded with joy.
"Don't you want to take a night off?" Nami shook her arms and said, "I'm a little tired from sorting out the souvenirs, treasures, your shells, and the clothes that Sky Island bought. β
"You don't need us to sail the boat, you can point out the course and rest in the cabin." Jing Tian smiled and raised his hand, pulled Nami's arm, and used the 'aura' to run the 'medical ninjutsu' to relieve her arm pain.
"Okay." Nami just finished her work and didn't want to move, with her strength, how could she be tired of packing up that little thing.
Satisfied with Jing Tian's thoughtful movements, Nami withdrew her arm and walked out of the cabin while looking at the pointer on her wrist: "I'll go determine the course." β
"When is the ceremony taking place?" After Nami went out, Robin asked Keitian softly.
"Let's stay away from the island to avoid accidents." Jing Tian also said softly: "There is no empty desert like 'Alabastan', we can only choose the empty ocean. β
"Is there anything I can help with?" Robin bowed his head slightly and asked softly.
"No, it's not too much trouble." Jing Tian refused with a smile: "Oh yes, help me find out the 'Devil Fruit Illustrated Book' in the study, and I'll compare the pattern of the 'Thunder Fruit'." β
"Willing to help." Robin chuckled and turned to walk towards the study.
"Oh yes." Just as he was about to go out, Robin turned to Jing Tian and said, "Colonel Smoker called again just now." β
"Again?" Jing Tian was puzzled: "When I went to the island, did he call several times?" β
"No, it's a few days ago, Hachi said that every day Smoker would make a phone call." Robin waved his hand, turned and walked out the door......
"Is it exposed...... Jing Tian turned his head and looked at the phone snail on the shelf in the room, but Smoker's phone number was configured by the Navy Headquarters, and it changed at some point, so Jing Tian couldn't take the initiative to call to contact, so he could only wait for Smoker to call over.
"Forget it." Jing Tian shook his head and didn't think much about it, sat down on the sofa, and began to rest......
The Golden Adventure set off again, gradually moving away from the island of Gaya and sailing in the direction Nami had pointed out to the next island.
The departure of the Golden Adventure has made the island's pirates cheer, the threat has disappeared, and they can return to their former wanton life. Soon after the Golden Adventure left, many battles broke out on the island of Gaya, and it was clear that there was a lot of hatred between the pirates these days.
Jing Tian didn't know the situation on Gaya Island, and even if he knew, he wouldn't pay attention to it, and he was a little worried at this time.
All along, the Golden Adventure was ahead of the Straw Hats, but now the situation has reversed and the Straw Hats have gone ahead.
There's no way, who told the Straw Hats to come down from the Sky Island in the 'Octopus Balloon', and Jing Tian had to come back to Gaya Island because he wanted to join Hachi.
In the comic book, after the Straw Hats return to the Great Voyage, they soon reach their next destination, the Long Chain Island.
And there is a plot outside the animation, and there are twists and turns in the naval fortress, but even this did not delay for long.
On Jing Tian's side, if the 'Golden Adventure' wants to reach the 'Long Chain Island', it will take at least more than ten days to sail, which is still related to the manatee mooing boat, otherwise it will take longer.
No matter how he calculates, Jing Tian feels that there is no way to catch up with the Straw Hats, so he is afraid that he will run into the plot again, trouble.
This is force majeure, there is no way, Jing Tian had to accept his fate, and after thinking about it, he drew up another plan in his heart......
Brubru Bru Bru, Brubru Bru ......
In the evening, the phone bug in the living room suddenly rings, interrupting Nami's action of showing Hachi the 'Sky Island Be'.
"It's me." Jing Tian took the phone bug and put it on the coffee table to connect it.
"Shhh......h I've finally got in touch with you. Smoker took a puff on his cigarette before speaking in a flat tone.
"I've heard you've called a lot, but what exactly is the situation?" Jing Tian asked.
"Is it convenient?" Smoker asked.
"Well, on board."
"Nicole Robin exposed." Smoker said it directly.
Robin, who was sitting next to Jing Tian, was stunned, put down the book in his hand, and his face became solemn.
"Exposed? Is the situation serious? Nami put down the 'mibei' in her hand and leaned over to the phone bug and asked.
The phone bug frowned, and it was clear that Smoker and Nami were still at odds.
After a pause, Smoker continued, "You went to the island of Gaya, right? Although that island is not under the management of the world government and navy, there are still secret agents, so ......"
The next words don't need to be said by Smog, Jing Tian and the others also understand cause and effect.
"So as Nami asked, how far has it been?" Jing Tian asked.
"I don't know." Smoker took another drag on his cigarette: "The agent has sent the information back to the Navy headquarters, and the reason why I know is because Admiral Pheasant contacted me and asked about some information about 'Alabastan'. β
"Pheasant ......" Robin was a little sluggish.
Jing Tian looked at Robin, shook his head and asked the phone bug, "Then what kind of arrangements do you estimate the Navy will make?" β
"I've told you before." Smoker said in a deep voice: "Nicole Robin's matter will be handled by the World Government, so I don't know what kind of arrangements the World Government will make, only what arrangements the Navy Headquarters makes, I can inform you." β
"Do you want me to be grateful?" The corners of Jing Tian's mouth curled.
"Hmph." Smoker was disdainful, and after a moment of silence, he asked, "Do you still intend to shelter that woman?" β
"Robin, of course, is my companion."
"Then you are ready to face the world government and the navy!" Smoker's tone was a little hateful, and he almost roared: "Explain in advance, if I receive the task of arresting in the future, I will not leave you alone!" β
"Cut, can you beat us?" Nami stabbed Smog and left Smoker speechless, and the phone bug made a depressed and annoyed expression at the same time.
Jing Tian smiled, pulled Nami to sit beside him, and then said to the phone bug: "Don't worry, Smog, I guess the day you didn't face me, even if you want to trouble me, it's the business of the World Government and the Admiral, unless you can climb to that position, you won't have a chance to take on that mission." β
"Hmph." Smoker acquiesced, took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Be careful yourself, I've done my duty." β
"Thanks." Jing Tian responded with a smile.
"So that's ......"
"Wait!" Nami hurriedly shouted, "Smoke man, beckon me to come and chat." β
"Bastard! This is the Navy Line! What did you do! Smoker roared.
"Got it, got it, hurry up." Nami urged unconcernedly.
"You woman who deserves to go to hell!" Smoker scolded, but obediently called out to Dusty......
Looking at Nami, who had a look of 'victory' on her face and started chatting with Dusty, Jing Tian chuckled and shook her head, only to see Robin with a hesitant face.
"Don't have any worries." Jing Tian raised his hand and patted Robin on the shoulder: "Maybe you won't believe it, I'm invincible in this world." β
Robin was stunned, but thought that Jing Tian was joking, and couldn't help but reluctantly show a smile to cooperate.
Jing Tian was helpless, with Robin's current state, it is estimated that it is useless to persuade him, so he can only wait for later.
Just now, Smoker said that Admiral 'Pheasant' had inquired about 'Alabastan' from him, but Jing Tian knew that the main target of the other party's inquiry must be Robin.
Robin was let go by the pheasant when he was a child, and for so many years, the pheasant has been concerned about Robin's news, and Robin's every move has been watched by the pheasant.
But Pheasant has always had a laissez-faire attitude towards Robin, and has not reported it to the Navy or the World Government, so now that Robin is exposed, Pheasant will definitely come out in person.
In terms of the character of the pheasant, even if Robin is allowed to die at his hands, he will not let Robin be arrested and tortured by the world government.
And right now, the breakthrough that can get Robin out of the nightmare is on the pheasant.
When the other party comes to the door next, Jing Tian will let Robin really see his strength and let Robin regain his self-confidence, so that Robin will not tremble with fear once he hears the words Admiral, World Government, or 'Demon Slaying Order'......
"Sister Robin." Hachi only understood part of it, but it didn't prevent him from solemnly expressing his position, and patted his chest to Robin, who was still a little dazed, and said, "I will also protect you!" β
"Well, thank you." Robin nodded and responded gently.
"Don't think about it." Jing Tian got up, picked up the 'Devil Fruit Illustrated Book' from the coffee table, and said as he walked out: "The soldiers will come to block it, and the water will cover it, and we will talk about it later." β
Robin sighed softly, and after watching Jing Tian walk out of the door, he picked up the book on his lap and continued to read, but he didn't turn the page for a long time, and his eyes looked very distant......
On deck.
Jing Tian sat down cross-legged, took out a pineapple from the huge cloth bag next to him, picked up the knife, and began to carve on the skin of the pineapple, and compared it with the 'Devil Fruit Illustrated Book' from time to time.
The first operation was a little rusty, and after about ten minutes, a pineapple with the skin turned up, and the shape of thunder and lightning was thrown away by Jing Tian, and he raised his hand to take out another from the cloth bag.
Glancing at the 'Thunder Fruit' drawing on the 'Devil Fruit Illustrated Book', Jing Tian continued to carve.
Gradually practice makes perfect, until the sun completely sinks under the sea level, and Jing Tian has dozens of fruits piled up around him.
Not only pineapples, but also fruits such as dragon fruit and grapefruit. All the fruits are piled up in a large wooden tub and kept fresh with ice cubes.
After looking at the results, Jing Tian got up satisfied, went back to the cabin and took out a 'lamp shell', returned to the deck to continue carving, and after more than two hours, he finished carving all the fruits he bought.
After thinking about it, Jing Tian didn't call Nami and Robin out to watch, after all, he was going to kill someone later, so Jing Tian walked into the cabin, followed the stairs to the lowest cabin, and carried Anilu, who was still unconscious, to the deck from Hachi's room.
"I can take care of you." Jing Tian put Anilu on the deck and whispered, "I gave you so many drugs that you died before you knew it......"
Shaking his head slightly, Jing Tian began to take out the fruit from the wooden basin and placed it around Anilu several times.
After finishing, Jing Tian took a light breath, took a few steps back, and the aura in his body began to work.
Bilibiliββ
After a while, slender electric lights appeared from Jing Tian's right hand, and then Jing Tian poked his right hand forward.
Ziziziββ
The electric snake erupted and diverged into a dense electric current, enveloping Anilu and all the fruits around it......
