Daily life as a writer in the world of pirates

The little episode between ms Wednesday and mr9 passed quickly. After regrouping, everyone left the island whale's body under the leadership of Crocas.

The sun has already reached the west, and before I know it, more than half of the day has passed.

Krokas took everyone to the shore under the lighthouse, and helped repair the Merry with Usopp, and chatted with everyone by the way.

Luffy curiously asked: "Why is there a channel corridor inside the whale's body?"

Usopp answered confidently: "If Old Man Crocas is on vacation inside a whale, he must create a passage for himself, right? Old Man Crocas?"

Crocas picked his nose: "No."

Usopp was shocked: "Huh? Isn't this the way you are dressed for vacation?"

Don't blame Usopp for misunderstanding, because Krocas was wearing a floral shirt and big pants that were obviously holiday style, and he even wore sunglasses when he first appeared!

Sauron was speechless: "Are you an idiot? How could someone be on vacation inside a whale?"

Crocas: "Me!"

Zoro's face turned red and he turned around and shouted: "Didn't you deny it just now?!"

Krokas then slowly explained: "The island in Labu's belly is indeed my vacation spot, but the corridor was built to sedate Labu from inside his body!"

Luffy: "Rabb?"

Nami: "Tranquilizer! Why?"

Crocas was confused: "Didn't I explain it to you?"

Zoro yelled: "Not at all!"

Crocas: "Oh, okay then! Rab is the name of this island whale. The island whale is a social creature that only lives in the Western Sea. More than fifty years ago, it followed a group of pirates to the Grand Line. . But the Grand Line is very dangerous, so although its companions were very reluctant to leave, they still left Rabu here and asked me to take care of him. They also agreed with Raab that they would come back here to take Rabu after they circled the Grand Line. go back!"

Nami's tone suddenly felt a little disappointed: "Fifty years ago, what about its companions?"

Krokas sighed: "I once served as a ship's doctor on a pirate ship more than 20 years ago. It was the ship of Gol D. Roger, the newcomer to the Grand Line, in order to go to sea to find the pirates. Traces, but unfortunately no news was received.”

Sanji immediately interrupted Krokas: "Wait a minute! Have you been on that Pirate King's ship? Are you a doctor? What do you mean by newcomers?"

Crocas nodded: "Yes, didn't I tell you?"

Zoro yelled again: "Not at all!"

Crocas scratched his head in embarrassment: "Haha, I'm sorry! But speaking of it, this young man's straw hat looks quite familiar, like Roger's hat."

Luffy took off his hat and put it in front of him and looked at it: "I don't know, Shanks gave me this hat!"

Crocas showed a nostalgic smile in his eyes: "Shanks~ He was still a reckless brat at that time. This hat was given to Shanks by Roger before he dismissed everyone!"

Krokas quickly pulled away from the memories, with sad eyes: "Rabu is getting bigger and bigger, and there is no way to return to his hometown through this small canal. He may think that this mountain is If you block your partner, you will bang your head against the Red Earth Continent every day.”

Krokas: "No matter how big Labu is, how can he fight against the Red Earth Continent? The injuries on his head are caused by collisions day after day. If you don't give it a sedative, it will definitely Hurt yourself!”

Sanji said with excitement: "It's been 50 years. Those pirates must be dead. Why don't you tell Rab the truth? He's very smart! He must be able to understand what you mean!"

Crocas was equally excited: "I tried to tell it the truth, but it didn't listen at all! Rab firmly believes that one day, its companions will suddenly appear from the other side of the mountain!"

Crocas suddenly coughed several times due to huge mood swings. His voice was depressed: "I am 71 years old, and I don't know how many more years I can take care of Rab."

Usopp looked serious and said solemnly: "We are also going to the Grand Line. If there is any news about that pirate group, we will definitely bring it back!"

Luffy suddenly put his hat back on, roared, pulled up the main mast of the Merry, and thrust it into the wound on Labu's head!

“Gumo Gumodo—flower arrangement!”

Labu exclaimed in pain, and used his tail to sweep away the huge water flow and pounced on Luffy, and the two of them started fighting as if no one was watching.

Usopp stepped forward anxiously: "Hey - Luffy, what are you doing!"

Nami was also looking for Maruko anxiously: "Stop it quickly - eh~ what are you doing?"

During the entire chat, Wanzi remained silent. It turned out that he was hiding behind the crowd with a pen and paper and writing frantically.

Wanzi's hands kept moving: "I have already announced that my new work will be released tomorrow, but I was so excited last night that I couldn't calm down. I am too busy today and I haven't finished writing the first three chapters yet!"

However, even if Wanzi concentrates on typing, he can still do two things at once and always pay attention to everyone's chat content: "Don't worry, although Luffy often messes up, he still has his own ideas, don't worry!"

As expected, Luffy had unilaterally stopped the fight in just a few words.

Luffy: "I haven't beaten you, but you haven't beaten me either. It's a draw this time. Let's decide the winner when we meet next time!"

After saying that, he picked up the paint near Usopp and drew a crooked yellow and white picture on Labu's head: "This is our battle agreement, we can't break it!"

Tears suddenly welled up in Labu's huge eyes, and he yelled "Booaoao" to Luffy, seemingly in response to Luffy.

Wanzi stopped writing and looked at the scene in front of him, with a happy smile on his lips - make a new agreement with Rab? In this case, in order not to damage the mark on his head, Rab will not hit the red earth continent again! As expected of Luffy!

MS Wednesday and MR9, who were tied up in the distance, were also attracted by this battle. Although it was a joke, this young man could really compete with such a huge whale. How brave is this?

Ms. Wednesday hid many thoughts in her heart, and she and Mr.9 were back to back, untying each other's ropes, and preparing to sneak away quietly when no one was paying attention.

On the other side, Usopp, who had just repaired the sheep's head, had to roll up his sleeves again and wrap the broken part of the mast with iron sheet.

Usopp wiped his sweat and said, "Great, we finally repaired the damaged part of the Merry!"

Turning around, he yelled at Luffy: "Luffy - the Merry is our ship, not your weapon! We must take good care of it!"

Luffy picked his nose, raised his eyes to the sky, and muttered softly: "I got it."

Seeing that everyone had finished their work, Sanji also brought out the dishes he had just made time to cook: "I specially bought the ingredients in Rogge Town. This is the first stop on the Grand Route. Let's have a big meal!"

Luffy nodded quickly, grabbed the largest piece of meat, and stuffed it into his mouth: "It's delicious!"

Sanji immediately brought the two dishes he carefully cooked to Maruko-chan and Nami: "Maruko-chan~Nami-san~ let me serve you the dishes I love~"

Wanzi breathed a sigh of relief, took a photo of the manuscript he had just finished and sent it to Velikoz religiously, and took over the food with a smile.

Nami, however, didn't notice Sanji's movements at all, and just looked at the compass in her hand with a solemn expression.

Sanji: "Nami-san~ What's wrong?"

Nami: "I just discovered that the compass needle has been shaking and it can no longer indicate the direction!"

Wanzi also approached curiously: "Yes, is the compass broken?"

Crocas shook his head helplessly: "It seems that you came here without knowing anything. I really don't know whether you are brave or stupid?"

Krokas: "Most of the pirates who died on the Grand Line were due to weather! Each island has its own unique magnetic field, as well as changing monsoons and ocean currents. You should be aware of this when sailing here. How dangerous!”

Wanzi's expression became serious unconsciously. It is difficult for people to defeat nature, at least they can't now. Do they have to face this in the Grand Line?

Krokas: "But you don't have to worry, at least there is a way to solve the course! When sailing on the Grand Line, the necessary item is-the recording pointer!"

Nami: "Record pointer?"

Krokas nodded: "Yes, the record pointer hangs on the top of the glass ball, without indicating any scale or direction. But as mentioned before, each island has its own unique magnetic field, and the record pointer can connect the two islands. Special magnetic forces are recorded pointing from one island to the other."

Luffy suddenly took out something from his pocket: "Is this it?"

Crocas nodded: "That's right."

Krokas: "Without a record pointer, it would be difficult to travel on the Grand Line. However, it is only useful on the Grand Line and is difficult to see elsewhere."

Nami nodded, suddenly realizing, and then turned around and punched Luffy on the head: "How did you get this?"

Luffy pursed his lips: "It was left on the boat when those two people left just now!"

The record pointer happened to look like a watch. Nami put it on her hand carefully. The pointer did not shake frequently like a compass, but pointed steadily in one direction. No matter how Nami moved her wrist, the direction would not change. .

Krokas continued to explain to everyone: "Starting from the Twin Capes where you are now, there are seven paths to enter the Grand Line. The two adjacent islands in each path are connected by magnetic force. Which path you want to take only depends on You can choose here!”

"But no matter which road it takes, it ultimately points to the same island - Ravdru, which is the end of the Great Line! In history, only the pirate group led by the Pirate King has confirmed the final location of that island. Then The island is also known as the legendary island! 1”

Usopp: "Wow~ That onepiece must be there!"

Sanji: "I wonder if allblue will be there too?"

Luffy took a bite of the meat and said with a smile, "Just go and see and you'll find out! 2"

Nami caressed the record pointer cherishingly: "Such an important thing must be kept well!"

Luffy patted his belly: "Ah~ I'm full, I'm full, let's go!"

Sanji looked at the remains of bones and empty plates on the table. He became angry and kicked Luffy over: "That's the love dish I prepared for Miss Nami!!"

Luffy was kicked and flew right past Nami's arm. With a "pop", the glass cover of the recording pointer shattered!

"Dong——" "Dong——" Two sounds of falling into the water.

A black figure and a red figure both fell into the sea.

Nami clapped her hands and shouted to the sea: "You two go and calm down!!"

Crocas laughed: "It doesn't matter, I can give you my record pointer as a thank you gift for helping Rab!"

On the other side, ms Wednesday and mr9, who swam a certain distance, discovered that the record pointer was missing, and had no choice but to swim back again.

ms Wednesday: "Alas - this time it was such a failure, the whaling mission was not completed, and the record pointer was lost."

mr9: "The mission time has passed now, the boss will definitely punish us when we go back!"

As soon as the two of them finished speaking, a sea otter rode a vulture and flew over their heads. The vulture still had a bundle of bombs in its mouth.

mr9: "It's the messenger of misfortune!"

"Bam—"

The bomb fell on their heads, and they both fell into the sea!

"Guluulu——"

Luffy, Sanji, MR9 and MS Wednesday all came up from the shore and returned to Twin Capes.

MR9 looked at Luffy and the others with a bitter look on his face: "Actually, we have a favor to ask of you all!"
