Vice Captain of One Piece

Chapter 61 The Adventure of Yangdao (1)

The Merry was advancing rapidly on the blue ocean, accompanied by the constant bombardment, followed by several warships far behind, it was indeed a very handsome way to appear on the stage.Shells kept falling near the Merry, and the huge crystal barrier on the rear deck blocked the occasional shells that were about to be fired into the ship.All the people in the boat were leisurely in front, dazed, wiping their knives, reading books...

"Please be nervous, okay??" Nami said loudly: "We are being chased by the navy now, even if there is an encore crystal behind us, we don't have to be so careless, right?"

"Because I'm very hungry..." Luffy said weakly on the side of the boat: "Encore planned to catch fish, but those marines just appeared and got in the way..." Chopper who was lying there also said: " That's right, there's no water either... If this continues, we'll definitely die of starvation or thirst..." Usopp, who was fishing on the strings of the boat, also nodded in agreement.

Sauron retracted the knife and said helplessly, "It's just a hungry meal. After getting rid of those marines, we can eat."

Seeing the cloudy sky ahead, Encore smiled and said to Nami: "Nami, there is a very interesting sea ahead, maybe you can use your navigation skills to get rid of these navies there~~"

Thin mist floats in the sea area, and the hidden reefs rising all around cause countless eddies, and it is easy to hit the rocks and sink if you are not careful. "Full rudder to the left, pull the sail to the left 45 degrees!!" Carefully studying the direction of the current, Nami cautiously said the direction the boat should go.The warship behind was moored at the entrance of the sea area because it hit a rock, and did not follow.

........................................................................

After passing through the sea of ​​fog smoothly, I saw a small island with steep cliffs on one side and lush forests on the other.The boat stopped near a relatively flat coast, and all the crew followed a small path into the center of the island.

"Could it be an uninhabited island?" Robin looked at the quiet forest around him.guessed. "It's not an uninhabited island, but it's about the same," Anke said lightly, looking at the front and said, "There is only one person on this island, and he's still a very weak person."

Luffy said weakly: "It's all good... I want to eat..."

"Ah, sheep!!" Nami said in surprise.At the end of the path stood a little lamb grazing. Its head and tail were light brown, and the middle was white. It was fluffy and lovable.But in Luffy's view, it's not always a cute sheep, but a tempting plate of meat.Seeing someone appearing, the lamb immediately ran to the depths of the island.

"Meat!! Meat!! Don't run!!!" Luffy, Sanji and Usopp yelled and rushed towards the sheep, intending to use the sheep for lunch.The lamb who was forced by Luffy and the others to a big tree let out a few pitiful lows.

Nami stopped Luffy and the three of them dissatisfiedly said: "Stop it, no matter how hungry you are, you can't attack such a cute sheep!!" The lamb also gave two "baaaaa" in agreement.

"The lovely sheep seem to have fallen in love with us." Sauron pulled the knife out a little, looking at the large flock of sheep that slowly surrounded them.Not paying attention to the changes around him, Anke just looked up at the big tree behind the lamb.

"Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!'

The sheep had already rushed up, and Sauron had no choice but to hold the sharp horns of the sheep with his knife.Chopper has already started communicating with the flock of sheep: "Wait, we won't eat you, I promise!! But why set a trap to harm us??"

“Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!Chopper was stunned and said, "They were ordered to do this..." At this time, the sheep and Luffy got into a ball, and Anke ignored the noise around him and continued to stare at the big tree, slowly He quickly pulled Xue Lian out, "Pine needle rain!!" The ice needles kept flying into the dense leaves of the big tree, and then a person fell from above screaming, and the sheep stopped attacking.

"Ah, a strange old man fell down..." Lu Fei looked at the old man in ragged clothes and gray hair suspiciously.

"Chopper, is this the one who ordered the sheep?" Nami stared at the old man, unable to imagine how powerful he was.

"Baa!!" Hearing the cry of the sheep, Chopper nodded and said, "Well, they said yes."

Seeing the old man trembling, Sauron said, "He probably thought he would be attacked by us..."

Sanji smiled kindly and said, "Don't worry, we just need water and food."

"Can you believe the pirate's words? Let me explain in advance that there is no treasure on this island, and I am penniless!!" The old man pointed at Luffy and the others and said loudly.Usopp looked at his ragged clothes, and said angrily: "You don't look like a rich man..."

"Smelly pirate, I am also a man," the old man looked at them fiercely with folded hands still full of hostility, "Steam or boil whatever you want!!"

Hearing this, Sanji took a step forward, stretched his fingers and said, "I'm a chef, I'm good at cooking, frying and frying~~"

"Wow! I'm just kidding! You devil, a murderer!!" The old man kept screaming, and kept retreating, but accidentally got stuck in a pile of branches and couldn't move.Sauron stepped forward silently, pulled out the knife, and waved it a few times in the panicked eyes of the old man.The branch broke, but the old man fainted with a pale face.

Chopper stepped forward to check nervously, and after listening to the heartbeat, he said loudly: "It's not good, the heartbeat stopped!!!"

"Zoro!!!" "Bad guy!!!" "You are too ruthless!!!" "Devil!!!" "Green algae head!!!"

Faced with everyone's accusations, Sauron couldn't tell the truth instantly, and hurriedly said, "No...wait a minute...I didn't..."

"Now let's take this old man to his home and let Chopper examine it carefully," Anke said calmly, "Maybe it can be saved, maybe..."

..................................................................

In the simple cabin in the mountains, the old man was placed on a wooden bed, and Luffy and the others surrounded the next door.All the sheep outside the house stood obediently outside.

"Ah... I was almost killed..." The old man slowly opened his eyes, and said weakly: "Sure enough, you can't take it lightly when dealing with pirates..."

"Did Uncle Yang stop his heart from fright?" Luffy asked curiously.

"On the great route, every day is full of surprises. How did he survive with such a small heart?" Sanji also said helplessly.

"But fortunately, I didn't lose my life," Nami said with emotion.

"What's so good??" The old man sat up suddenly from the bed, took out an abacus and calculated "cracklingly", "I'll show you the calculation, you caused me to jump up to my waist and almost die, and now I can't even mow the grass. The water is gone, I have lost a lot!! The total loss has reached 5000 million yuan!!"

"You irrigated too much!" Nami immediately stepped forward, pulled the abacus and said, "It's all just like this!"

"How is it possible!! At least it's the same number..." The old man fiddled with the abacus again.

"Subtract Chopper's diagnosis fee, and that's all that's left~~~" Nami continued to use her financial expertise, and turned back the abacus reasonably.

Seeing the pitifully small value on the abacus, the old man bit his sleeves and said tearfully: "A few young people actually ganged up to bully me, an old man...it's inhumane..." Then he pretended to cry.

"I know, Uncle Yang..." Lu Fei touched the straw hat and said, "We will mow the grass and fetch water for you..."

"The handsome guy in the straw hat is still very good," the old man withdrew his cry for a moment, and said treacherously, "That's it, hehehe~~~"

............................................................

In front of the cabin, there was a busy scene.Luffy is holding a wooden barrel to fetch water, Usopp is repairing the house, Sanji and Anke are chopping firewood, Robin and Chopper are feeding sheep, Nami is washing clothes, and it is estimated that the old man will not give them food and water Sauron went into the mountain to see if there was anything to eat.

Anke, who was standing under the shade of a tree with a small piece of wood in his arms, said suspiciously: "This old man seems to hate pirates, what happened?"

"I heard from the sheep on the island that this old man has lived here for 20 years after drifting here," Chopper said while feeding grass.

At this time, an old man in a black coat came out slowly to check the progress, saw Sanji's appearance, and immediately said sternly: "You need to use a little strength on your waist!! The nearest young man! You can't even chop a firewood well." !” After blaming Sanji, he turned around and touched the wooden board by the side of the room with his hand, looked at the dust on his hands, and said dissatisfiedly: “And I don’t even know how to clean it, let me redo it here!!” Chopper Immediately take a cloth towel and wipe it clean. "And then we have to feed the sheep and repair the hut!" After the old man sat down, he beat his shoulder with his hands unwillingly: "Why are you in a daze! Why don't you hurry up and beat my back?? Do you need me to remind you of this kind of thing? ? You guys are really troublesome!!" Chopper immediately obediently went over to beat him on the back.

"It's so noisy~ Can you knock him out?" An Ke, who was still holding the log, said with a sweet smile, but this sentence attracted the attention of the old man.

Seeing Enke who was still holding the log, the old man immediately commanded: "Hey, that little doll!! Work quickly!! Help that blond boy chop those firewood!!"

Hearing the words of the old man instructing the Encore, Luffy who was drawing water froze all over, and stood a little far away from the Encore with the bucket in his hand; Nami, who was hanging clothes, also silently moved a little sideways; Sanji held The ax slowly backed away, and Usopp on the roof was sweating coldly, turning his head stiffly; while Robin, who was feeding the sheep, hesitated for a moment and stood a little further away.

"Yes~~~Grandpa~~~" An Ke still smiled sweetly, threw the wood in his hand on the ground, and slowly pulled Xue Lian out.Seeing Encore's action, although Luffy and the others didn't know what she was going to do, they continued to stay away from Encore according to their intuition.

Seeing Anke slowly untie the ribbon wrapped around the blade, and staring at him with a smile, the old man was startled and said tremblingly, "You...what do you want to do??"

"Chop firewood, grandpa~~~" Anke took Xue Lian to the pile of firewood that hadn't been chopped yet, and under the shadow of the sword and sword, he chopped them into pieces in an instant, and the almost shattered wood was covered with ice. Slag, "It should be easier to burn if you chop it up, old, grandpa, grandpa~~"

"..." The old man rolled his eyes and passed out. "Wow!!! Grandpa is in a coma again!! Doctor, where is the doctor??" Chopper yelled in fright, and then came to his senses, "Oh, yes, I am the doctor!!"

Seeing the fainted old man, Luffy and the others felt that the world was quiet all of a sudden, very inhumanely and sympathetically, they gave Encore their thumbs up at the same time, and said with a bright smile: "Nice~~Anke Yes~~~~”

..................................................................

As night fell, everyone was still doing the work ordered by the old man, and Chopper was taking care of him in the house.Luffy, who had been hungry for a whole day, was completely exhausted, lying on the ground weakly, Sanji was making dinner with crude kitchen utensils, Robin and Nami were arranging some grass for the sheep, and Encore Then he was playing with the little lamb he saw today, and Usopp was still lying on the roof.

Zoro, who had been out for a whole day, also came back with a cloth bag full of food on his back. Seeing Usopp who was still repairing on the roof, he asked suspiciously, "Aren't you done yet?"

"The old man kept throwing us new jobs. If Encore hadn't frightened him today, it might have gone too far!" Usopp said helplessly, wiping the sweat off his face.

"I didn't scare him, Wu, Suo, Pu, Jun." An Ke hugged the sheep and looked at Usopp innocently above, "He asked me to chop wood! I finished chopping everything!! The lamb also "bleat" twice, proving Encore's innocence.

"Encore chopping firewood?? Are you kidding me?" Sauron was so frightened that the cloth bag fell to the ground, and Luffy immediately ran over and took out the fruit inside and ate it.Sauron looked around, heaved a sigh of relief when he saw the pile of unidentified objects full of fragments, sat down and said, "That old man dared to let Encore work, what happened? It shouldn't be that simple, right? "

"He fainted from the scariness of the cutie," Sanji also sat down and said, "He thought the cutie was holding the knife to kill him, so he passed out."

"This is the normal result..." Sauron suddenly remembered something and said, "Speaking of which, I saw a pirate ship on the top of the mountain. Although it was a broken ship, there was indeed a pirate flag hanging on it... "

Luffy was gnawing on an apple, and said vaguely: "Pirate Ship? Who made it??"

"Isn't there only an old man on this island?" An Ke said holding an apple, smiling as he watched Luffy keep stuffing fruit into his mouth.

Unaware of Luffy's movements and the dwindling fruits in the bag, Usopp said suspiciously: "What does the old man do with the pirate ship?"

"Maybe we're lucky~~" Nami suddenly looked at the top of the mountain with a calculated face and said, "Anyway, let's go and have a look first, it's on the top of the mountain, right~~" Said Nami took the lead and ran towards the top of the mountain, Luffy quickly took the fruit After eating, he picked up Encore and followed, and said excitedly: "Is there any food in the pirate ship~~~~"

..................................................................

On the top of the mountain, an unfinished pirate ship was placed there alone, with a dilapidated pirate flag flying on the mast.

"Don't you guys feel a little creepy?" Sanji looked at the surrounding trees.Robin said lightly: "The ghost ship in the mountains~~"

"Robin, don't say strange things," Usopp's face was already a little pale, Enke, who suddenly thought of a good idea, secretly signaled Luffy to go behind Usopp, and slapped him on the shoulder.

"Wow!!! Ghost!!!" Usopp was so frightened that he didn't dare to turn his head, and hid behind Sanji with his hands wide open.

"Hehehe~~~" An Ke laughed, holding Luffy's neck and looking at Usopp's scared look without guilt.It's rare to see Encore's mischievous appearance. Nami and the others just smiled at each other and boarded the pirate ship to check. Usopp shivered for a while and then ran aboard.

"It seems that it was made from the surrounding trees," Robin said, looking at some trees that had been cut down.Nami looked at the boat carefully and said disappointedly: "It seems that the treasure is not here."

"What treasure?" Luffy asked suspiciously.

"According to my guess, the old man's true identity is a hidden pirate!" Nami said with certainty, "He must have been shipwrecked and drifted to this small island alone, and then in order to escape The pirate ship was built here. Pretending to hate pirates is also a cover-up, in order to prevent others from discovering his hidden treasures. I thought he was weird at first, and the decorations in the house are all expensive items. "

"As expected of Nami-san~~" Sanji praised sincerely: "Super powerful~~~"

"The boat is in an impenetrable forest, and behind it is a steep cliff," Robin said with a smile, "If it's to get away from this island, why build the boat in the forest?"

Nami, who couldn't think of the reason for a while, was speechless for a moment.Anke looked at the apple in his hand and said with a chuckle: "Maybe I planned to go to sea at first, but then I gave up for some reason. From the perspective of a grandfather's age, this ship is likely to be his final home. "

"The final destination??" Luffy and the others looked at Enke with a puzzled face, not understanding why she said that.

"In other words, the coffin~~"

"what?????"

..................................................................

In front of the old man's house, everyone sat around a fire, and Chopper stayed in the room to take care of the old man.

"Let's leave this island as soon as possible." Usopp suggested: "Otherwise, we will always be ordered around by this strange old man."

"I want to stay," under the surprised eyes of everyone, Luffy fell back and lay on the ground and said loudly: "I want to eat!! How can I be full just by eating these???"

Seeing the empty cloth bag, Sauron immediately rushed up and grabbed his collar and shouted, "That's the food I picked so hard!!"

Encore held the surviving apple in his hand and said: "Let's go back to the boat first." At this time, Chopper came out of the room with his head down, and Nami smiled and said to it: "Chopper, let's go back to the boat. "

"I want to stay with Grandpa, I can't ignore the patients..." Chopper still lowered his head.

"He's recovered a long time ago, and there will be no end to sympathy," Usopp said angrily.

"Grandpa didn't stop his heartbeat because he was timid, he was sick..." Chopper suddenly raised his head and said, "That old grandpa only has three days left to live..."

"What?! Only three days left?!"

..................................................................

In the morning, the sun wakes up the sleeping island.

When the old man came out of the room sleepily, he was stunned by the scene in front of him: the long tablecloth was placed on the floor, and there were a variety of dishes filled with delicacies on it, and Lu Fei and the others were all smiles. He said to him: "Good morning~~Grandpa~~~"

Nami took the old man's hand and said with a smile, "Hurry up~~Grandpa~~"

"Beforehand, I don't have any money to pay you, Nami-san," the old man said vigilantly with his abacus, Nami just smiled and let him sit down and said, "No money, grandpa~~"

The old man picked up a plate of fish in front of him, kept looking it over carefully, turning it over with chopsticks from time to time and said, "Suspicious, really suspicious, could it be poisoned?"

Lu Fei instantly stretched out his hand to grab the bowl of food in front of him and said, "If you don't want to eat, you can give it to me~~~" But the old man stepped on his hand and said, "Who says I won't eat? ??" Looking at Lu Fei's hand, the old man was startled by Lu Fei's outstretched hand again: "Wow!!! What's going on with you???".

"Don't scare him!!!" Nami rushed over and punched him down, and then said to the old man gently: "Grandpa, he came from a devil fruit power user, so it's nothing surprising. Also, what do you have? If you need anything, just tell us~~"

"Yes, don't leave any regrets..." Usopp looked at the old man tearfully, and was knocked down by Nami in the next second.

"Hahaha," the old man who didn't hear what Usopp said smiled and tasted the food made by Sanji and said, "It's delicious, it's really delicious~~~" Then he continued to eat plate after plate. Then, Luffy and the others continued to serve and pick up food for him.

Seeing the old man's bulging stomach, Anke wondered: "Look at this amount of food, is it true that the life expectancy is only three days?"So suspicious...'

..................................................................

On the top of the mountain, everyone helps to complete the pirate ship that was discovered last night. To be precise, only Luffy and the others are doing it. After all, Encore and the others don’t know how to repair this ship.

Except for the old man who was startled by the gigantic Chopper at the beginning, he spent the rest of his time directing Luffy and his work.Seeing the old man gesticulating, Encore directly made a crystal stool. Nami immediately held him down, and Robin also called out two hands to help the old man massage.

"But why do you want to build a boat on the mountain?" Sanji asked suspiciously with a cigarette in his mouth.

The old man exhaled and said slowly, "This is not a boat..."

Luffy suddenly realized: "So it's not a boat~~" Usopp immediately retorted: "What is this if it's not a boat?? Could it be that Encore really said it last night... woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!" from Usopp Two hands protruding from Pu's shoulders tightly covered his mouth, stifling his next words.

"This is the old man's... coffin..." The old man continued, "Yes, it is my tomb..."

"So that's how it is," Lu Fei closed his eyes and clasped his hands together and bowed to the old man, "So it really is Uncle Yang's grave..."

Seeing everyone's surprised faces, the old man smiled and said, "What's so strange, I'm the only one on this isolated island, so what's the fuss about making a tomb for myself? I'm going to die sooner or later..." He said slowly Close your eyes slowly.

Knowing the truth, Luffy and the others just kept silent, and rushed up in panic when they saw the old man with his head bowed motionless.

"Grandpa...Grandpa!! Whether it's the tomb or something, we're almost done, don't rush away!!" Usopp said with a choked voice.Chopper also said in panic, "Don't die!!!"

"Calm down..." Anke said helplessly, "He's just asleep... If you continue to quarrel and scare him again, maybe~~"

Luffy and the others were silent for a moment, but at the same time they breathed a sigh of relief.
