Fighters in Pirate World

The fifth route of the Grand Line, Wantao Islands.

After nearly two weeks of sailing, Luochen and his group successfully arrived at this place.

According to custom, Luochen and his group found a small island at the outermost edge of the Wantao Islands and landed on it.

It is much faster to collect information on the location of Vilnius Town on the island and then go to Vilnius Town than to crash on your own.

After half a day.

"Hey...this place seems to be an uninhabited desert island..."

Nami looked at the extremely desolate island and sighed. Originally, they wanted to find the location information of Vilnius Town on this island, and then go directly to Vilnius Town.

As a result, after landing on the island for a long time, we found that it was actually an uninhabited island.

In this regard, Luo Chen was also very helpless. He sat on the wheelchair and spread his hands: "Really, that's really unlucky."

Although there are few desert islands in the Grand Line, if one island cannot be preserved due to lack of resources or harsh climate, it is not impossible for a desert island to appear. This island is a desert island, which can only be said to be bad luck.

Just when Luochen and his group chose to leave the island, Ace, who had been following silently, became more and more confused, and finally stopped in an open space.

"Luochen, something is wrong here." Ace looked at the empty space, his eyes flickering slightly.

Luochen also stopped pushing the wheelchair and looked at Ace: "Oh? What's wrong here? Isn't it a desert island?"

"No, when I was seriously injured and homeless here a year ago, there were still people living here. It was the people here who introduced me to the old doctor, otherwise I might not be alive today."

Looking at the open space, Ace frowned slightly, stepped forward, turned over the land a few times, and picked up a handful of light black soil: "Look at this... this soil has obviously been burned by fire. "

Ace himself is a user with the Burning Fruit ability and is very familiar with burned objects.

Hearing this, the others in Luochen's group also dug up light black soil on the ground. The soil in their hands still smelled faintly of burning sawdust.

"...Could it be that this place was vandalized and completely burned by a fire? What happened here?" Cosette sniffed the soil on her hands and looked at the empty space. In the open space, there was also a trace of doubt on his face.

Luo Chen scattered the light black soil in his hand back to the ground, nodded slightly and said, "It is most likely caused by man-made destruction, but as for the reason, it will be clear when we find the aboriginal people on this archipelago and ask."

"That's right." Everyone nodded, agreeing with Luo Chen's idea.

Then Luochen and his group left the 'desert island' with questions and headed to the next island.

Two days later.

Luochen's group searched almost all the islands outside the Wantuan Islands, and the results were the same as the first island they encountered before. It was a 'deserted island'.

There are still some ruins on some desert islands. It is obvious that these islands have been damaged by man-made damage.

Currently, only the largest island in the central region of the Wantao Archipelago has not been explored. If this island is also a 'deserted island' that was destroyed by humans, then Luochen and his group would have had a wasted trip.

With the last hope, Luochen and his group embarked on the road to the central island.

.......

After half a day of sailing, Luochen and his group arrived at the largest island in the central area of ​​the Wantau Islands.

Looking at the 'little black dot' getting bigger and bigger in the distance, Nami, who was controlling the rudder at the bow of the ship, raised her head and shouted towards the observation deck: "How about Raphael? Is there a pier on this island?"

"...Yes! There is a pier on this island."

Raphael, who stood on the observation deck and used a telescope to observe the small island in the distance, nodded and gave the answer.

"It's great... there is finally a pier. If there is a pier, then there should be islanders."

Nami was very excited when she heard the message from Raphael.

In those two days, all the 'uninhabited islands' Luochen and others encountered were small islands without docks, or islands with docks that had been destroyed.

Without residents on a small island, it is indeed difficult to have a dock.

And since there is a dock on this small island, there must be residents there, otherwise the dock, a place for trading and receiving sailing ships, will lose its meaning.

After confirming the existence of a dock on the island, Luochen and his group headed to the dock without stopping.

After a while, the three-masted sailboat slowly approached the dock. Before Luochen and his group could stabilize the ship, a large number of people appeared on the dock.

Those people all had bright smiles, cheering, or jumping for joy, and some even held a "Welcome to Vilnius Town" billboard.

"Oh...what a big cow!"

"Is this cow the pet of this ship? With such a big ship and such a big pet, the people on it must be rich!"

"Having money...great! I can expect to pay my taxes this month!"

Seeing the manatee "Moo" pulling the boat in front of the three-masted schooner, everyone first exclaimed, and then came to the consensus that "the people on the boat are very rich" based on the size of the boat and the size of the pets.

After learning that the man on the boat was a 'rich man', the crowd below cheered even louder, so much so that the giant manatee 'Moo' was ignored.

"Wow~~ It's so lively down there, and the people in Vilnius are so welcoming. They came to greet us before we even landed."

Looking at the cheering people on the pier, a bright smile appeared on Nami's face.

Similarly, looking at the crowds on the pier with bright smiles, Raphael and Ulki also had a smile on their lips.

It is the wish of Raphael and Urqui that the people live and work in peace and contentment, and be happy, so they are in a good mood when they see this group of 'happy' people.

"Indeed, the people here are much more enthusiastic than when I came here a year ago..." Looking at the cheering crowd on the pier, Ace nodded in agreement.

When Ace came here before, the people here were also very warm and simple, but they were far from the current 'welcome' situation. Those who didn't know better thought that Luochen and his group were the 'heroes' who saved the island.

"Really... It's a bit abnormal to be so enthusiastic..."

Unlike Nami, Raphael, and Urki, who were optimistic and positive, Luochen, who was sitting in a wheelchair, always felt something was wrong in his heart when he looked at the cheering people on the shore.

There are indeed people in life who are passionate about everyone, but this kind of person is just an example. If it is extended to the entire group, it is open to question.

There is a saying that "show hospitality when you have nothing to do, and commit adultery or steal". You don't do anything in production and life, and go to the dock to greet visitors. No matter how you look at it, you look like someone cutting leeks.

"Well, I also think these people are too enthusiastic... The main thing is, if they welcome visitors here every day, then how will they make a living?"

Cosette, who has the same view as Luochen, has been dealing with intelligence all year round. She has been exposed to various intelligence and underground organizations all year round, and has seen all kinds of people's lives.

It is indeed rare to find people as hospitable as the residents of Vilnius. Their enthusiasm is so abnormal that it seems a bit fake.

Those who are naturally hospitable and love to communicate are not excluded, but this is all on the basis of ensuring survival. It is indeed suspicious that the residents of Vilnius Town have directly given up production and come to welcome visitors.

After hearing Cosette's words, Robin on the side also nodded slightly, a signature smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his eyes flashed slightly.

Obviously, Robin also thinks that there is something "very wrong" with this group of people. Living on the sea all year round has given Robin a very good control over people's hearts. She does not think there are such people who give up their lives for the sake of 'hospitality'.

"Forget it, the goal of our trip is to find the ship's doctor. As for what these people want to do, just let them go. The soldiers will stop them, and the water will cover them." Looking at the two girls, Cosette and Robin, whose faces were gloomy, Luo said Chen smiled.

"Yeah." The two women nodded in agreement.

With the current strength and financial resources of Luochen's group, this group of people does not pose a threat.
