One Piece: Heart Set Sail

Chapter 53 Deep in the Jungle

After leaving the wind chime pavilion, Xue went to find Beibo again: "I promised to go to the craftsman with me, let's go!"

"Xiaoxue, what do you want to make it look like? I really want to know!" Bebo came out without forgetting to hold the honey jar in his arms.

"Let's wait until it's done. Although this sapphire is not that magical, it will be really beautiful." Xue is looking forward to seeing the finished product: "The finished product should be almost the same after it is completed."

"How mysterious."

The two followed Linni to a low tree hole. They found a craftsman who could make exquisite carvings. Xue handed him the drawings and gems: "Just follow the drawings here and help me carve it." , I wonder what reward you need? Can crystal ore be used?"

After the elf saw the drawing, he was slightly shocked: "Did you draw this drawing?"

"Yes, what's wrong?" Xue asked.

"That's not the case. I was just a little surprised. I thought I had seen the appearance on this picture somewhere before." He asked no more questions and did not quote a sky-high price. He only accepted three crystal ores from Xue and agreed. transaction.

"Please come back here before you leave and get the finished product."

"Okay, please."

The next day, the rising sun shone its light on every corner of the elf town, and the morning dew still lay on the petals and leaves.This year it is difficult to collect dew in delicate containers. It can be used to make scented tea or snacks.A three-color butterfly stayed on Xue's pillow. She rubbed her eyes and stretched.

"Get up quickly, the captain is calling everyone for a meeting." Ikaku had finished dressing and had just woken up Xiaochan.

"Meeting? Brother Luo has something to say, right?"

"I heard from Bebo that it was about the Heart of the Ocean. The captain already went to the Elf Lord to ask about this matter yesterday. He should have some clues."

Luo gathered the crew members into a small garden. It was very quiet here and no one would disturb them. They lowered their voices: "Xia Qi, Pei Jin, did you find anything?" Luo asked the two of them to go after dinner last night. Pay attention to what's going on nearby.

"Captain, as expected, no matter where we go, there will always be a few people watching in secret. These elven lords are very distrustful of us."

"Peijin is right. Although the lord Karl seems to be very enthusiastic about us on the surface, he actually sent a lot of people to monitor us." Xia Qi's expression was serious: "It's as if he wants to prevent us from doing anything, and I just discovered something strange."

"Ok?"

"We came in from the south, and we happened to pass by a jungle at that time. I remember very clearly that there were only two people guarding it at that time, but when I went there today, I saw that there were more than three times as many people guarding there." Xia Qi thought about it. Feeling abnormal: "Captain, it seems like they are afraid of us and don't want us to enter the jungle in the south."

"You said that, I remembered it." Xiaochan's memory returned to yesterday evening: "I heard two elves saying that humans are coming. If they are poisoned again this time, the elf town may be destroyed. Exist again." Originally, he remembered this matter and wanted to report it to Luo, but Luo went to Karl because of questions about the heart of the ocean.

"You continue to stare." Luo gave the order: "I will go to the jungle in the south to check tonight. You can't act rashly without my order."

"Got it, Captain."

"Captain, have you found any new clues about the Heart of the Ocean?" Bebo asked.

"Loyalty and love, Karl said that these two conditions must be met and at the right time, otherwise the seal will be difficult to unlock." Luo shook his head: "Take this matter slowly and consider the present first. I always feel that the lord Not that kind."

Xue stood aside and murmured to herself: "Loyalty and love? But this is too confusing..."

"Xiaoxue." Bebo saw her in a daze, so he came closer and said, "Why are you in a daze? Let's go back first. The captain is going to investigate tonight. We should also pay more attention to other places."

Only then did she return to reality from her fugue. Bebo was right. What kind of secrets was hidden in this seemingly peaceful town?Her eyes finally fell on Luo who was thinking about the plan. His serious look made her unable to take her eyes away. She just looked at him and thought about it, and a blush crept up her cheeks.

"Xiaoxue? Xiaoxue, why are you blushing so suddenly?" Bebo thought she was feeling uncomfortable, so he asked nervously.

"Uh, Bebo, I'm fine." How embarrassing!Unexpectedly, Bebo caught him red-handed: "Let's go back first and wait for news about Brother Luo tonight."

After returning to their residence, everyone became alert and could sense that there were elves watching nearby.At this time, everyone's thoughts were interrupted by a sudden cough: "Xiaochan, what's wrong with you? Do you have a cold?"

Peijin looked at her face and asked with concern: "Why don't you go and rest first, and leave the rest to us."

Xiaochan didn't know what happened to her suddenly. Apart from coughing constantly, she just felt a little weak: "Then I'll take a nap for a while, but when the captain comes with news, you must act together with you."

"Don't worry! Everyone is reliable!" Xue helped Xiaochan go to the rest room: "What's wrong with you? Weren't you fine when you got up in the morning?"

"Xiaoxue, I don't know what happened. It suddenly became like this. Maybe it's because I'm a little tired. I just need to rest."

"Okay, I'll guard you here." Xue helped her make a good quilt. Looking at Xiaochan's frail appearance, she always felt something was wrong: How could a person who was so good suddenly fall ill?

Xiaochan fell asleep right into the night. When she woke up again, she felt even more tired than before going to bed.She couldn't help but frown and touched her wrist. After all, she was born in a family with medical skills. Even if the doctor did not treat himself, he could still tell something about the situation by taking the pulse.

"No, there's something wrong!" Xiaozhou felt the pulses on both hands one after another, and soon understood that this was no ordinary illness: "Xiaoxue, I was careless, I should have discovered it a long time ago! Xiaoxue!"

Xiaochan spent a lot of effort to get out of bed. At this time, Xue was lying motionless on her bed: "Xiaoxue, are you asleep? Xiaoxue?" She called several times, but received no response from Xue. He immediately understood that Xue was probably in the same situation as him now.

"Oops, we have to wake her up quickly." Xiaochan shook Xue hard, but she still had no reaction. Although she wanted to help Xue up, she was unable to do so.In desperation, he took out the silver needle from his backpack and inserted it into her acupuncture point. After a while, Xue woke up vaguely.

"Ah, what's wrong with me?" Xue patted her heavy head: "Ahem, Xiaochan, did I catch a cold from you?"

"It's not a cold, Xiaoxue. Listen to me, this is not an ordinary cold. But I guessed it right. Others must have had the same reaction. Maybe the onset time is different depending on our physiques."

Xue was surprised: "You mean, we were poisoned?"

"It's very possible. I wasn't sure when I checked my own pulse at first, but I checked yours just now. I'm sure we are not just sick, but someone did it deliberately."

Xue Shuang's eyebrows furrowed into a frown: "The only person who might poison us is the elven people. Could it be that they are the elven lords?! That Karl?!"

"I don't know yet, I think we should go see them." Xiaochan said: "Maybe those elves don't know that we have been in this situation, otherwise, I think the two of us wouldn't be here now. .”

"Well! Let's go! Find Bebo and the others!"

Fortunately, other people's rooms were not far away. When the two found them, except for Xia Qi and Xavier, who were still a little conscious, everyone else was already fast asleep: "Xia Qi, are you okay? Can you stand up? ?!”

"Xiaoxue, Xiaochan...the captain has already gone to the jungle. He doesn't know that this situation has happened to us yet, but what I'm worried about is what if the captain is also infected."

"No, Brother Luo will definitely not be defeated by such a small trick. What we have to do is to hold on until Brother Luo comes. However, I am thinking that if the elves know that we have been poisoned, they may arrest us right now. , if they use us to threaten Brother Luo..."

"It can be delayed for a while." Xavier pretended to be calm: "Xiaochan, if you can wake them all up, we can delay it."

"Okay, leave it to me!"

Luo, who was exploring the jungle alone, was leaning on a tree trunk. The feeling of weakness filled his whole body, but his long-term vigilance made him quickly understand what was going on, and he opened his mouth slightly: " It's just this little trick, do you really think Naihe can defeat me? However, it seems that the speed must be faster. Xiaochan also had the same symptoms this morning, which means that all members may have this problem."

As soon as the power of the surgical fruit was activated, Luo easily expelled the toxins from his body, and then he entered the jungle without anyone noticing. The fireflies flickered with a faint green light, but miraculously, they all gathered in one place: "Oh, there is indeed something here."

He quickly teleported to the center of the jungle, but the scene in front of him was not the monster he imagined, but a calm lake. In the center of the lake was a bed like a flower, with white gauze curtains fluttering in the wind, and lying on the bed An elf with a saintly appearance.Luo did some research and found out that the elf's body was actually corroded by a poison that was no worse than the platinum-lead disease virus: "It seems that they resist outsiders because of the poison in her body."
