Chapter 238: Fine Snow Stone

Sunrise over the sea, sunrise over the snowy fields, sunrise over the wilderness. When they see the sun showing its first rays, everyone will marvel at how great nature is, how beautiful it is. But behind this beauty, there is his inexhaustible power.

Luffy spent the night on the side of the boat, blowing the sea breeze. I don't know why, maybe I was a little homesick all of a sudden, but in order to alleviate this emotion, Luffy turned on a small lamp in the middle of the night, erected a fishing rod, and caught a lot of fish. The fish in the sea are the most delicious, the sea is half tested and half fish, as long as you work hard, you will definitely get a reward. In the sea of this world, these fish are surprisingly large, even ordinary carp, they have to grow to half a meter long, but carp can't catch here, most of them are saltwater fish, and they belong to tropical fish. Sanji doesn't like meat, he prefers to go to the forest to find some ingredients and make some wonderful desserts for the beauties on the ship, so when he goes out to get ingredients, the first thing that comes to mind is coffee beans or honey, Zoro likes some pine needles to make tea, and Luffy likes meat.

"So many fish?" said Arrita, looking at the fish swimming in the vat.

"Well, that's good. ”

"Hehe, it would be nice if you could make us a delicious meal later. Alrita is very reminiscent of Luffy's craftsmanship, Luffy immediately waved his hand and said: "I don't like to cook all the time, and what I do is generally not very nutritious, after all, I have not learned professional cooking, and Sanji is a professional chef, so he knows more, and there is a mutual restraint between the ingredients, such as what can be eaten together well, what must not be eaten together, although I know, but I just don't understand." ”

"It turns out that there is such a reason, then you have to find a chef. Luffy saw that there were no fish on the bait for a long time, so he was ready to close the rod.

"Do you know about fishing, don't you see the clouds in the sky?" Nami was angry when she saw the intimate conversation between Yarrita and Luffy, and ran out depressed, seeing the depressed clouds at a glance, and it was obvious that there would be heavy rain today.

"Hehe, I didn't see it, I'm sorry. It's okay, no more fishing. Luffy hurriedly put it away and took the bucket back.

"Luffy, there's a very peculiar island in the distance. "Usopp has a wide field of vision, and his main job is to detect the situation at sea, so when he gets up early in the morning, he looks at the sea and sees a strange island in the distance. This small island is different from the usual, it is slanted, with vertical cliffs on one side and a very flat beach on the other, and it is really difficult to see this wedge-shaped island if it is not for the right view.

Luffy ran out to take a look, it was really peculiar, and this island is not small, the jungle is dense on it, there should be a lot of good things.

"Arrita, drive over. ”

"Got it. "Yarrita is at the helm, so naturally she is ready to go on for a shallow conversation, and the rumor will soon reach the shore. Sanji asked, "With so much fish, do you still need ingredients?"

"Of course, you have to get ready to come out, and besides, the ship is almost empty. Luffy was the first to jump down, and Nami asked, "Who stays to watch the boat?"

"Let Anilu stay, and even if he goes, he won't know what to find. Anilu was very impressed when he heard this, and he didn't want to go in the first place, but now it's good. Luffy walked towards the depths of the forest, but he froze after walking for a long time, and the center of the island turned out to be a mangrove forest, it seems that this island is not a good place, but Luffy just wanted to go around and see over there, so he jumped up and flew over.

Coming to the other end of the island, it is this side of the cliff, Luffy saw this side of the clearing, it was really cool in his heart, the ecosystem of this island is too poor, it is quite difficult to find food here, it seems that there will be no gain, but Luffy undoubtedly looked down the vertical rock wall, and suddenly found a very strange thing that made him feel very familiar.

When Luffy was in the Navy, he had studied geology, so he had a certain amount of research on the fault section, and this fault section happened to have experienced an ice age. Luffy's curiosity immediately came up, and he wanted to go down and take a look, anyway, walking on the rock wall was a piece of cake, Luffy walked down and looked along the rock wall, not to mention how happy he was, there happened to be a rock wall here that was a piece of sand, and it was a good sand and stone, and above him was the Ice Age, but he didn't expect that the first desert area would also experience the Ice Age. Luffy pulled out the white dragon, and the blade was gently inserted, directly cutting off a piece of high-grade sandstone, the top of the sand and stone was unusually flat, obviously fine sand that had weathered for countless years, and the bottom was relatively rough, more like granite.

"I didn't expect to find a whetstone so quickly, I'm really lucky, it's a blessing and a curse. Luffy happily returned to the top of the cliff, but sighed that there were mangroves everywhere and there was basically no good food source.

Luffy returned to the shore, Sanji and the others had already returned, and most of them returned empty-handed, but Sanji still found the honey that was everywhere.

"Wow, what did you take?" Sanji was surprised to see Luffy get a stone back, and when he walked over to see it, his face immediately changed color.

"It's this!!"

"What's wrong?" Luffy looked at the stone in his hand puzzled, wasn't it just a high-quality whetstone.

"It's a rare fine snow stone. As soon as Sanji said this, the other people also gathered around to watch, and Zoro did not understand what was surprising about such a stone. So he asked, "Why is it called fine snow stone?" ”

"Because it's sand and gravel that lived through the Ice Age. After Sanjiz finished speaking, Luffy exclaimed, "You have good eyesight, this is indeed the sand and stone that has experienced the Ice Age, I found it at the cliff over there." When he saw that it was just the whetstone to be used, he took it back. ”

"You're in luck. Yes, there are mangroves everywhere and there is nothing to eat here. ”

"It's okay, aren't there still fish, let's go to the next island. Luffy and the others jumped on the boat, and Luffy took out Zoro's handful of snow, and Zoro raised his anchor and set sail.

"You want to sharpen your sword?" Nami saw that Luffy had never been down to business, so she wanted to see what this guy could do with this broken sword.

"Of course, I just don't know how the craftsmanship is. As he spoke, Luffy picked up the rougher part of the fine snow stone, which could quickly polish the iron that had just melted the snow away, and then carefully polish it with the smooth side.

"People say that you have to sharpen a sword in ten years, how long do you have to sharpen it?" Robin didn't know how long Luffy had to sharpen, so he was curious.

"For this one that has been grinded, it won't take long. Luffy rubbed it lightly a few times, and the part of the pothole was basically smoothed, and then he picked up the other side of the fine snow stone and began to polish it carefully, the snow walk itself belongs to one of the fifty-one crafts, not deliberately made by the person who created this sword, but the level of the person who created the sword is different, a good piece of black iron, it is difficult for a mediocre blacksmith to create a good sword, and a legendary blacksmith, even if he uses pig iron, can create a divine weapon. Luffy obviously knew that this snow walk was not perfect, it still contained more magazines, and it was not fully tempered, but at this time, there was no need to fight again, it would only polish him smaller, so Luffy only wanted to be sharper, and simply polished a few times on the fine snow stone, Luffy stopped, and the blade was as bright as new, as if it had never been bumped.

"God, more delicate than a carpenter. Frankie's eyes lit up in admiration, and he wanted to change his career to blacksmithing.

"Hehe, although the repair has been completed, the knife is still the same, there is no change, if it receives a huge external force, it will still break easily. By the way, Zoro, you might as well give me this knife. ”

"Of course no problem, I'm not a four-knife stream anyway. Of course Zoro was generous, and Luffy happily inserted Yukigo into the scabbard, but he didn't expect to pick up a good knife.

"The sky has changed. Nami looked at the sky, and there was already a little lightning in the sky, and the sky was beginning to change from a thick cloud to the gray wool it was now.

"Taking advantage of this beautiful weather, I would like to present a new song to everyone. Brooke suddenly picked up the violin.

"It's certainly the best. Luffy clapped his hands, and immediately, Luffy's Sunshine was on the gloomy sea, and beautiful music sounded, to be honest, Brooke is really a great musician, his music never comes from the violin or the movement that already exists, all his music is improvised, from his own heart, Luffy dares to believe that if Brooke one day combines the true meaning of music and swordsmanship, he will definitely be able to become the number one swordsman in the world alongside Zoro.
