Pirate's Plant Fruit

Chapter 40 Huge Airship, Unknown Fate

The white giant airship is suspended and flying in the sky.

The gas-filled oval behemoth was getting closer and closer to the skies above the Merry.

"Wahhaha, look. It's a huge balloon!" Luffy said excitedly.

"Oh, what a strange thing. It really looks like a huge balloon. But there seems to be something under the balloon." Sanji observed the approaching huge airship and said.

Chopper jumped on top of Sauron's head and looked at the huge airship approaching.

"Wow, what a strange thing. Is that a flying fish? Or a flying sea king?" Chopper said with wide round eyes.

Zoro patted Chopper on the top of his head and said, "Hey, come down. Who else would make such a huge balloon to play with. It's so boring."

Nami looked at the airship in the sky, pouted and said, "It's really strange. I have read so many nautical books, but I have never heard of someone making such a big balloon."

Weiwei, who was on the observation deck at the top of the mast, also came down.

Rogge looked at the huge airship that was approaching.

What is going on, but there must be someone on this airship.

The huge airship is constantly approaching, and the pod at the lower part of the huge airship is also clearly visible.

At this time, inside the huge airship pod.

In a large captain's room, a group of naval soldiers with bare arms and wearing white clothes are working.

An officer dressed as a general in a white cloak stood among the crowd.

The general is a middle-aged man, and there is hardly any flesh on his thin face.

Underneath a pair of blade-like eyes is an exaggerated and sharp hooked nose.

Suddenly, a naval sergeant ran up to him and raised his hands in salute.

"Major General Hawke, now a small pirate ship has been found on the sea below the front." Sergeant Hui reported.

The major general looked at the sergeant with piercing eyes, sending a shudder down his spine.

"Hmph, is it a pirate ship? Then just capture it directly." Major General Hawk said with a slender and powerful right hand.

If the sergeant in front of him could describe these hands, they would be similar to the claws of an eagle.

The sergeant glanced at Major General Hawke's hand, then hurriedly said, "Yes, let's act now."

After the sergeant left, Lieutenant General Hawk carefully looked at his right hand.

"There is no good pirate, and this airship is in the experimental period. It is best to use pirates for experiments."

After finishing speaking, Major General Hawke's right hands were clenched together like an eagle's talons grasping its prey.The crisp sound of bones and joints can be heard clearly throughout the cabin.

On the deck of the Merry, Rogge, Luffy, Sanji and others looked up at the airship above.

After flying for a while, the giant airship finally flew above the Meli.

"It's so big." Everyone sighed.

This giant airship hovering above the Merry looked down on the Merry on the sea below like a giant looking down on humans.

"I didn't expect that there is a pod under this huge balloon, it seems to be a kind of cabin." Nami looked up at the giant airship above and said.

Below the giant airship is a huge gondola covered in white paint, with windows on it.

The volume of this pod alone is more than ten times that of the Meli.

"Isn't it a ship that can fly?" Sanji said as he removed the cigarette butt from his mouth.

"However, this flying ship actually installed a huge oval-shaped balloon on the ship." Sauron said.

Rogge looked up at the huge airship and said: "Since there is a pod, there must be someone here. And you can see that there is a propeller behind the airbag. It must be propelled by that thing to fly this guy. However, Who is in there?"

There are many, many powerful pirates on the great route. Is it the airship of a certain pirate, or
At this moment, Lu Fei raised his hands and said happily: "Okay, then let's go up and have a look."

"No!!!" Sauron, Nami, and Usopp all shouted.

"I'm afraid there are strange people on this strange flying ship, and it might cause trouble." Nami clenched her fists and said.

"It's probably not an ordinary person who can create such a monster flying in the sky," Usopp said.

"After all, we still don't know the details of the other party, so we have to look at it first." Sauron said calmly.

For Sauron, he is not afraid of accidents.But who is in such a huge airship, if the other party has malicious intentions.And the airship has weapons, so the Straw Hat Pirates and the Merry have nowhere to escape.

"Hey, look. It seems to have lowered its altitude." Roger said while looking at the airship.

When everyone looked carefully, it turned out that the airship had dropped in altitude.Originally the airship was about 2000 meters in the air.Now it seems that it is only seven or eight hundred meters away from the sea.

"Could it be that we are being targeted!" Usopp said nervously.

"is it?"

"Gah!"

Carew and Marianne were frightened together.

Luffy was even more excited. He had no sense of danger and wished he could get on the airship right away.

"You guys are still in a daze! Hurry up and turn the rudder, or paddle!" Nami reprimanded severely.

"Go ahead, Miss Nami!" Sanji said lovingly.

"Yes, yes, do it quickly." Usopp hurriedly moved.

But this airship's moving speed plus its volume made it too late for the Merry to even get out from under it.

Suddenly, the flying pod shot four huge grappling hooks toward the Merry below.

"what!!!"

"what!!!"

"Gah!!!"

"good friend!!!"

Nami, Usopp, Karu, and Marianne all shouted in fright.

Four grappling hooks hit four parts on both sides of the Merry's hull.

Behind the grapples are huge iron chains.

A great tremor followed, and the Merry began to rise.In other words, it was lifted upward by the grapple of the airship.

"We've been hijacked!" Sanji said, looking at the grappling hooks and iron chains.

"Iron chains, hateful!" Sauron said with a snow walk on the iron chains.

"Hahaha, we flew into the air!" Luffy said happily.

"Who the hell is this?" Weiwei also asked anxiously.

Rogge looked at the approaching airship above, and said, "They are like this, I am afraid that the visitors are not good."

An unknown fate awaits everyone, and the Meili has already been pulled hundreds of meters into the air.

Now there is no escape, and everything on the airship is waiting for everyone.
