"But...... Where are we now? ”

Dusty looked at the fog in all directions and said uncertainly.

"I don't know...... However, we have not deviated from the course yet, and we are on our way to the G2 branch. ”

Nami said, looking at the permanent pointer on her wrist.

"I've passed by the G8 branch."

Nami quickly found her approximate location.

"Luffy, play board games with me!" Uta finds Luffy and Vivi with the cards.

"What are the rules of the game?"

……

After a few more hours, Dusty saw an island in view through the telescope.

"I see the island!"

"It's a deserted island with endless savannahs!"

"The savannah? We can walk lions on it. Uta had an idea.

She sat in her seat with a card in her hand, and opposite Vivi, Luffy, and Robin.

"According to the instructions on the map, we may come across the Long Chain Island, the species on it are said to grow very long, but there are not many people living there, so it is a desert island."

"Hmm......" Uta frowned, looking at the cards in his hand, and then turned his head to look at Luffy's hand.

"Don't play, Vivi, let's go walk the pets together!"

"Uta, you don't play until you're about to lose!" Vivi asked, pinching the cards.

"Luffy is to blame for this, his cards are so bad! Uta has tried very hard to bring it, but he can't bring it at all! ”

Uta rode down the deck to the island, and Vivi beckoned Karui to come over, following Uta one after the other.

"Long Chain Island...... I remember there was an old man on stilts here...... Luffy has a vague bad impression of the island.

"Didn't you say it's a desert island, but it's quite lively around here......" Nami didn't dare to be careless.

"Luffy, come down quickly, this dog's body is so long, it's several meters!"

Vivi and Uta shouted on the shore.

"Remember to bring your camera!"

I saw two girls sitting together in front of a dog, the dog was white, with a dog's head and front paws in front, and then a body several meters long.

"It's amazing, it's too powerful, can its body support itself to stand up?" Luffy looked at the dog in shock.

The climate and geography of this long-chain island are really strange.

As if hearing Luffy's question, the dog suddenly stood up in Luffy's incredulous gaze.

Luffy looked up, and its body structure was really able to support itself to stand up, as simple and easy as a normal dog.

"Everything on this island is very long." Robin raised his hand and picked an apple, which was also long, and it was not clear what fruit it was without taking a bite.

"Robin, have you ever seen this kind of climate?" Vivi asked curiously.

"I'm sorry, but I haven't seen this unique environment either, I've only heard about it in books."

Luffy took a deep breath of the fresh air of the island, an island with an endless savannah, where Velvet and Karui the duck ran happily around the island.

"It's such a refreshing island~" Nami closed her eyes and felt the natural breeze blowing on her face.

At this moment, two bamboo poles slowly moved on the grassland, Nami opened her eyes and knocked on the pair of bamboo poles curiously, "Luffy, if I heard it right, there is someone on it, right?" ”

"Well, there's an old man up there." Robin nodded.

"Hell!"

With a scream, the pair of bamboo poles fell to the ground.

Many more hands grew from the ground, and they caught the bamboo poles, and they saw the old man that Robin had spoken of.

The old man wore a purple hat on his head and a yellow garment, and he looked like he hadn't washed it for a long time.

"Grandpa, what are you doing up there?" Uta asked curiously.

"I'm scared to death, I was just eating a pear on it, and then I saw a pair of eyes growing on my stilts...... "The old man said with a palpitation."

"I'm sorry." Robin smiled.

"Didn't scare you, did you?" Vivi asked worriedly.

"It's okay, I came to this island ten years ago to choose bamboo in order to be a world champion stilt player, but I didn't expect that because it was too high, I didn't dare to come down after stepping on it, and the bamboo kept growing up...... Thanks to you, I'm back on earth......"

The old man clutched his heart and said with palpitations.

"Really? It's stilts! Vivi looked at the bamboo pole that had fallen to the ground in shock.

"Still stepping on it for ten years?" Nami's eyes widened.

Luffy curiously took the bamboo, it was indeed a cut bamboo, and there was a step at the top to put his feet.

The severed plant can continue to grow upwards...... Belch...... It can only be said that it is worthy of being a special product of the world of pirates.

"And what do you eat?" Dusty asked inexplicably.

"Some of the trees on the island are as tall as stilts, so I make a living by eating fruit." The old man replied.

"Wait, so how did you go to the bathroom?"

Nami took a step back and looked at the old man with an embarrassed expression.

The old man smiled calmly, "Of course it'......"

"Don't say it, don't say it......" The girls changed their faces together and waved their hands frantically.

"We'll just walk around the islands and go." Nami smiled awkwardly but politely.

"That's a shame, my house is near here, do you want to come to my house together? There should also be some food in stock......"

"Then it has to be put out for ten years, right?" Nuoqigao's face changed drastically.

"No, no, we are the navy, and we will have a mission in a while."

"Then, I'll go home first, I don't know how the family is now, in fact, it's only been ten years, and the food should still be fine......" The old man walked in the direction of his home.

Uta and the others breathed a sigh of relief, Nami's question was too tricky, no matter what the explanation, they didn't want to hear it at all.

"Look, look, this bear is so tall and fluffy!"

Uta's attention turned to the island's animals.

She hugged a long, four- or five-meter-tall white bear that walked on its two feet like a human.

"That's amazing!" Luffy couldn't help but hug the long legs of the fluffy white bear and rub its fur affectionately with his face, just like Uta.

"Furry!"

“……”

The bear stopped, looked angrily at the group of humans hanging on his body, impatiently peeled off the two of them with his paws, and then walked off into the distance.

Although it was a peeling move, for a huge bear, that force was equivalent to a punch to the head.

"This island is so interesting!"

Uta glanced at Luffy, who had been beaten by the bear with him, and giggled while clutching his stomach.

After spending a few hours on the Long Chain Island and having a picnic, he got on board again, unfurled the Navy flag, and headed for the G2 branch.

And successfully arrived at noon the next day.

As he entered the waters of the G2 naval base, Luffy saw some ships belonging to the navy one after another.

A naval intelligence ship with two large characters written on the flag, and an imperial rice ship that is responsible for logistics procurement.

"This is a ship belonging to the G3 branch, please let ...... it"

"Is it a Navy hero?"

After docking, Luffy was warmly welcomed by the G2 branch.

"We're passing through, we're going to find Scientist Ratchet, do you have any charts around here?" Luffy explained.

"Find that scientist, he's quite famous around here, that island often buys a lot of steel alloys from the outside world, please wait, we'll give you the map, it's just that it's hard to get to that island without a good enough navigator......"

As a land snake, Luffy knew who the navy was and which island it was on as soon as he said his name.

“…… There is no permanent pointer to the island, which means that a navigator has to orient itself, and we need to show the way? The Navy asked.

"We have a very capable Miss Navigator." Luffy looked at Nami, "No problem, right?" ”

"Of course, who do you think is piloting!"

Nami was wearing a light-colored fleece jacket with no buttons, a V-neck bodice that could be worn outside, exposing her navel, and a short purple skirt underneath, and the whole person looked heroic.

'Damn, such a beautiful Miss Navigator, and a super royal cook......

The sailors of the G2 branch looked enviously at the beauties on the Hero, and then exchanged a look.

With a sunny smile, he said, "Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, please drink the coffee of our G2 branch!" ”

They brought it with a cup of coffee.

"Personally, I prefer to drink fruit juice cola, and for coffee...... Luffy took the coffee.

"The coffee of our G2 branch is the only delicious dish on the sea, and it can be refreshing after drinking it, and we have always drunk this to cheer up, even Lieutenant General Gumir will drink this!" The soldier said to Luffy.

"Is there a different coffee?" Dusty looked at it curiously.

On board, coffee is her and Robin's preferred drink.

"Do you want to drink?" Luffy gave the coffee to Dusty.

"I want to taste it~" The coffee lover took the coffee.

"Wait, that coffee—" G2's Navy Soldiers watched the coffee change hands, their eyes widening.

"Poof—"

In Uta and Nami's wide-eyed eyes.

Dusty took a sip of coffee, and then his face turned ugly, and the liquid was only in his mouth for less than half a second, and then it all squirted out.

“！！！”

Luffy covered his face.

"I'm sorry, Lieutenant Colonel...... I didn't expect this coffee to be so bitter, like nothing added at all......"

Dusty looked at himself and sprayed Luffy in the face, and hurriedly explained.

“…… It's too much, you can wash this dress for me! ”

Luffy lifted his clothes, revealing his well-defined abs, then wiped his face and threw it to Dusty.

"Yes..."Dusty quickly grabbed his clothes, subconsciously looked at Luffy's figure, and then compared it with Smoker.

Compared to Smoker, Luffy's figure is a little thinner, but he is still stylish.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Lieutenant Colonel, why don't you go to the locker room at our base and get a new one?" The soldiers of the G2 branch proposed to Luffy.

Entering the G2 branch, Luffy couldn't help but be curious as he watched the school officials come and go with a cup of coffee and a look of embarrassment.

"Is the coffee here really hard to drink?"

Luffy also made a cup of coffee himself, tasted it carefully, and didn't hold back the first sip, and spit it out directly.

"Nokigaard, I'll want to drink honey later......" Uta said to Nokigao with his coffee.

"I know, I'll make honey water for you to drink later."

The base leader of the G2 branch, Lieutenant Colonel Gumir, is a bald man, Luffy saw him, he had a chill down his spine, what about the master, he should be bald too.

This is a lieutenant general who will not return his life.

The lieutenant general master who can return his life, such as a ghost spider, has black and thick hair.

"Luffy, first meeting." Gumir greeted Luffy, "Lieutenant General Karp's health is okay?" ”

"Of course." Luffy nodded, then looked at the plaque behind Gumir.

The navy has factions and sides, and what kind of justice is chosen is equivalent to a kind of side.

Lieutenant General Gumir is a calm and righteous man who belongs to the Pheasant General's faction, while the G2 base leader 13 years ago was the Yellow Ape, who planned a crusade against the Sun Pirates here.

"Mr. Lieutenant General, has your coffee always tasted like this?" Luffy changed into a suit and asked curiously.

"yes, it's always been so bad, but I had to drink it for a refreshment." Lieutenant General Gumir said.

"Why don't you try adding some milk and sugar?"

"But...... I don't know where there are good large ranches around here, but there are many people in our base, and there is a lot of demand. ”

"I see......" Luffy nodded.

After taking the map of the nearby sea, Luffy set off again.

Nami took the chart and studied it carefully.

On the Great Passage, there are no permanent pointers, and navigating on a map alone requires a navigator to possess great ability.

After all, in this part of the sea, you can't trust the wind and the currents, which can always turn the human senses away and cause the ship to make the wrong voyage.

Two days later.

Nami successfully leads the Hero to land on the destination island.

"This is the island."

Nami said to Luffy after confirming it repeatedly.

"Navy, what are you going to do on this island?"

As the warship docked at the edge of the island, someone nervously shouted at Luffy.

"I'm here to find the owner of this place, Ratchet." Luffy disembarked, the cloak of justice behind him whirring in the wind.

"What are you looking for our island master?"

"Don't be so nervous, friend, I'd like to know how the clockwork maid is made, and I can pay for it."

Luffy saw the nervousness of the islanders and waved to them.

……

"Clockwork Maid?"

"I didn't expect my invention to be taken by the navy."

At the castle on the island, Ratchet looks at the navy on camera and becomes proud.

"Young Master, what should we do next?"

The butler asked Lachett.

"Don't get into a conflict with the Navy, let alone a Navy hero, until my plan is complete...... Give him the technology, by the way, my mom has to hide it and don't let her meet with the navy. ”
