Not only Rui Mengmeng felt familiar, but everyone except Wendy and Xia Lulu felt familiar. They had seen this island, but not on the sea, but in the sky.

This is one of the islands that was brought to the East China Sea by the Golden Lion - Melvieu.

The island's most distinctive features are the highly poisonous trees known as Daft-Green and the detoxifying I.Q plant.

At that time, the Navy commissioned Yixiao to help carry the island, and the inhabitants of the island were unwilling to return to the dangerous great route, so the island was left in the East China Sea and placed near the town of Shields, where the 153rd branch of the Navy was located.

Perona asked, "Isn't that right?" I remember that when the uncle carried this island, he returned the same day, why did we sail so long to arrive? ”

"Because we didn't go in this direction at the beginning, and then we went treasure hunting and playing, and we went around in a big circle in the East China Sea." "If we want, if we want to sail about 15 degrees south-east now, we can be back in the frozen area in three days." ”

"It's a revisit, let's go and see, I don't know how the villagers of that island live here, although we know them well and we haven't met them before." Zhang Da also remembered that although everyone fought with the golden lion for these villagers, they had never even seen their faces, and the specific situation was learned from the flag demon who was in charge of the investigation at that time.

Perona excitedly tells Wendy about the glorious days of parkour on the island, when it was so exciting to ride on a mammoth and walk around the island with a large group of enemies.

Perona said: "That mammoth was later released by us, and I don't know how he is now. ”

"It's supposed to be dead." Ye Yan dressed himself up as a big red apple today, with a brown hood on his head, like an apple stalk, and a green leaf next to it, and his limbs were exposed, like an apple had become a essence.

Ignoring Perona's dissatisfied expression, Ye Yan explained: "At that time, the navy said that it would help the villagers hunt those mutated beasts on the island, and most of the mammoths were also in the hunting range. ”

Perona was deflated: "Why is this ......"

Zhang Da also casually made up for it: "It's a pity, I knew it was better for us to bake it ourselves." ”

Perona roared, "Are you the devil! ”

"I'm not, I really don't know what mammoths taste like." Zhang Da also saw that Artoria and Tom both showed regretful expressions, and wondered if they should give Drought Jack a try next time.

As they spoke, the group rode aboard the Amber to Melvieu's side.

Melvillo has been connected to the original town of Shields, and it looks like a big gourd in the air, and the connection does not rely on bridges, but by reclamation of land and land, paving an open road.

As for the reclamation materials...... According to the shark pepper diving observations, it is believed that some kind of huge sphere has been cut or broken and filled in the gap between the two islands, and in some places there are traces left by the rapid cooling of high-heat rocks, which means that this thing may have been a meteorite.

Zhang Da also sighed: "Uncle Yixiao's service is really thoughtful, the navy is sorry for him if he doesn't give tens of millions of dollars." ”

Artoria asked, "Is this what Uncle Laughing did?" ”

"It should be, capture the meteorites in the sky with a large range of sights and hearings, and then use the ability of the gravity fruit to tear the meteorites down." Zhang Da also said, "Uncle Yixiao, like those admirals, is simply a walking natural disaster. ”

"That's amazing!" Wendy hugged Xia Lulu with a surprised expression, this was the second time they had heard Yixiao's name. Controlling gravity, summoning meteorites, and carrying islands is really a very powerful person, but why does Sister Artoria say that he will lose every time he gambles?

"Paving the road with meteorites, aren't you afraid of radiation?" Ye Yan, who is wearing an apple suit, believes in science.

Zhang Da also said: "This meteorite really doesn't necessarily have any harmful radiation. ”

The space in the One Piece world is very weird, Anilu can fly directly to the moon in a golden ship, and a few small robots can also pull balloons and fly directly to the moon, and there is even air on it. Therefore, after the meteorite is chopped and placed directly here, it is mostly harmless to the human body.

The town of Shelds and Melvieu each have a port, and Zhang Da and they chose to dock at Melvieu, at this time, a merchant ship was unloading, and dozens of workers were carrying large and small packages back and forth.

As soon as everyone got off the boat, someone immediately came up and asked if they needed to hire a porter, and they left a little disappointed after being rejected by Zhang Da.

Zhang Da also said: "It seems that although we have become famous, we are far from becoming a household name. ”

"No, at least in our village, there is no one who does not know the benefactors!" A worker next to him said suddenly.

This is a middle-aged man, he doesn't look strong, the clothes on his body are a little shabby, especially the wear marks on his shoulders are very heavy, although it is still winter, he wears clothes that look like summer and autumn, and even has a towel around his neck to wipe sweat.

Zhang Da also looked at him suspiciously: "Are you?" ”

The man said excitedly and a little crampedly: "My name is Paul, I was originally a villager of Melvieu, I was enslaved by the golden lion Shiki for nearly ten years, and it was not until the benefactors and the navy defeated him that I regained my freedom!" ”

It seems that Vice Admiral Stoloberg at that time was quite realistic, and when he appeased the villagers, although he added a little drama to the navy, he did not erase Zhang Daye's credit.

"The guy just now is from Shelds Town, so he doesn't know the benefactors, but there's no one in our village who doesn't know about the Amber Tours!" Paul bent down excitedly, "Thank you very much for your help!" ”

"Oh, don't be so polite, we got a lot of bounties afterwards." Zhang Da also asked, "Are you still used to living here in the East China Sea?" ”

"It's already very good, at least you can live well by selling your strength, and your family doesn't have to worry about being attacked by fierce beasts anymore, thanks to the help of your benefactor!" Paul shouted one benefactor after another, and thanked him in three sentences, "Please make sure that we can entertain the benefactors well!" ”

"You don't have to break the bank, and you still have a job here." Zhang Da also declined politely, he didn't care if he entertained or not, just go back to the next side of the town of Shields to eat a few streets, there is no need to delay people to make money to support their families.

Paul didn't care and said: "It's okay, it's almost time to go back today, it's just that the conditions at my home are average, please don't dislike the benefactor!" ”

Everyone looked at each other, and finally felt that it was difficult to resist the hospitality, so they went to his house to sit down, just to learn about the current situation on the island.

A group of more than a dozen people left the port in a majestic manner, attracting the attention of many people, some people were shocked when they saw Brooke, but after looking at Ye Yan and Shark Pepper, they suddenly realized, probably a person with a skull mask, and it was too realistic, strange and scary.

"The port was built last month, and there are a lot of people in the village who come to work here because the pay is good, and there will be people coming from the nearby town of Selz." Under Zhang Daye's inquiry, Paul introduced as he walked.

Zhang Da also looked around, and the island seemed to have undergone a lot of changes, the original dense jungle had been cut down a lot, and a road from the port to the village was built.

The Daft-Green woods have also been cut down quite a bit, some have been stripped of their bark and look bare, and some are still working in the woods in protective suits.

"Woo~ what a bad smell." Wendy covered her nose, the dragon slayer mage's nose was more sensitive, and she couldn't stand the smell of Daft-Green.

Xia Lulu also covered her nose: "When I smell this, I want to run away." ”

Paul smiled apologetically: "These trees were originally used to prevent wild beasts from invading and protecting the village, the smell is terrible, there is no problem if you walk normally, but inhaling too much will cause poisoning, and animals dare not approach when they smell this smell, so cats will be a little uncomfortable, right?" ”

Probably because he had seen all kinds of strange animals, he was not surprised why cats could talk.

Tom looked left and right, thinking that he was a cat and an animal, so he couldn't stand the smell and covered his nose in disgust.

Zhang Da also patted Tom's head, reached out and dug behind Tom, and took out two gas masks and handed them to Wendy and Xia Lulu, the strange thing is that the size is just right.

Tom suddenly realized, and hurriedly put one on himself.

"What are they doing?" Zhang Da also asked, pointing to those wearing protective suits.

Paul explained: "Because the ferocious beasts were hunted down by the navy, these poisonous trees were not only useless, but also dangerous, so they decided to cut them down. But the people in the town said that the bark could be used as medicine, so they simply sold it to them, and then everyone shared the money. ”

Rui Mengmeng asked, "After peeling off the bark, the tree died, right?" What happens to the trees after they are sold? ”

"It's sold out, it's a poisonous thing anyway, the village chief said that if someone is not afraid, he will draw a piece of land in the corner for him to use to plant trees, and then sprinkle I.Q's seeds all over the island, so that there is no need to worry about someone accidentally being poisoned, and I.Q can also be sold as a medicinal herb."

Paul spoke, his eyes filled with hope. The more I have experienced hardship, the more I cherish my current life.

Paul's home is not far from the entrance to the village, and the house looks new, probably built recently.

"I'm back!" Paul pushed the door open.

A woman's voice came from inside: "Why did you come back so early today?" ”

"I brought a guest back, it was our great benefactor!"

"What ...... do we have" The woman was halfway through her words, and she ran out and looked at the group of people who had come in in surprise, and finally locked her eyes on Tom, she covered her mouth, "It's really a benefactor, please come in!" ”

"Excuse me!" *9

"This is my lover Daya, we have been married for ten years, but soon after we got married, all the men in our village were captured by the golden lion and forced to do hard labor, during which time we were hardly allowed to go home."

If it weren't for the defeat of the Golden Lion, they don't know when they will be reunited, and after expressing his gratitude again, Paul said energetically: "That's why we haven't had children, but I've been working hard lately......"

Daya blushed and patted Paul, this person, what was he talking nonsense in front of the guests, resisting the urge to splash boiling water on his face and pour tea for the others.

Perona looked at Paul with a garbage look, saying such things in front of a child, and felt that this person and the colored skeleton must be the same kind of people.

Wendy's face suddenly turned red, redder than the red apple suit on Ye Yan's body, and it looked like steam might come out of her head at any time.

Zhang Da didn't know how to answer this kind of topic, and awkwardly held the teacup and thought about whether to say a word of cheer or something.

He glanced at Wendy and Perona, who seemed to know a lot now.

"Yo roar roar roar roar ~ " At the critical moment, I had to rely on an old pervert like Brooke, I saw his empty eyes staring at Daya, and said with a smile, "Ms. Daya, can I ...... it?"

Zhang Daye, Ye Yan, and Shark Pepper jumped up almost at the same time, and surrounded Brooke with punches and kicks.

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts...... At least let me finish my sentence! ”

Apple Yeyan fell down directly and pressed on Brooke's body and crushed it: "After speaking, it's not as simple as beating up, it's really a bone that can't be changed to drink milk!" ”

Paul and Daya looked surprised: "You, you are ......"

Zhang Da also explained while using the trampling of justice: "It's okay, he has osteoporosis, I want to ask if you can change a glass of milk for him, let's help him loosen his muscles first!" ”

"When...... Of course it's fine......" Daya went back to the kitchen to get the milk, wondering why she had to help him loosen his bones since he was already osteoporosis.

With such a fuss, the awkward atmosphere has eased a lot, probably.

Brooke drank a glass of milk with a wound in his body, and then came back to life. He's almost used to it, and every time he makes this kind of request, if he doesn't get beaten, it only means that his companion is not around, which is fine.

During the chat, Zhang Da also learned that the people in this village are living well now, and if they want to make a living, they can choose to farm on the island, collect medicine, go to the dock to work, or go to Shelds Town to find a job.

The initial difficulties were overcome by the money from the sale of the beasts killed by the navy, and then there was income from selling trees, and now as long as you are willing to work hard, you can live a good life, which is already very good for ordinary people.

Especially for those of them who have endured ten years of suffering, it is like a dream. So they thanked the Navy from the bottom of their hearts, the Amber Tours, and the man in the newspaper who did not want to be named.

Therefore, when the villagers learned that the amber tour group was a guest at Paul's house, the villagers came to invite them, and after a dispute, the village chief simply proposed to hold a big banquet for the whole village, which was approved by everyone.

Although the development of things was somewhat unexpected, Zhang Da still chose to accept it gladly, at least without worrying about bankrupting a certain family.

At this time, Zhang Daye's mood was still a little complicated, he had saved a group of people who hated the world government, and also saved a group of people who supported the navy, it was really ...... It's good not to have a faction.
