Pirate: I only come here for three things!

The two of them were going to the core area of ​​the whole area behind the bell.

This is not a very dangerous journey, although the poor mountains and rivers are full of unruly people. But at this time, the overall environment of Wano Country did not yet have the existence of a band of thieves like Asura in the future. At the same time, the two of them also took the official road, which is the officially designated road. As long as you travel along this road, you will always see an extremely expensive resting place set up by local forces after a certain distance.

The nobles of Wano Country have carefully designed a system for this purpose. In addition to the expensive and low-quality rest service and supply points mentioned above, they will also regularly arrange for manpower to deal with trees and wild beasts on the road.

Mainly trees, roads that have not been maintained for a long time can easily be crowded by plants, thus greatly reducing the efficiency of traffic.

Duanmu casually cut off a branch from a dead wood, and after trimming off the excess branches, he made a strong cane.

"Do you want one?"

"Longer ones, trouble."

"I thought you were the type who has too many good days." Duanmu looked at Fiona Mag, who was still breathing.

"I am the supreme leader of the entire base and the second most capable fighter in the entire base. Although I actually have to obey the orders of Quinn, the chief scientist in the laboratory. But in an emergency, I have cut off his head to prevent the world government from The task of not leaking top-secret information.”

"Oh, so did you kill him?"

Quinn is one of the three future leaders of the Beast Pirates. As a scumbag with no morals, he is no worse than Caesar. He is truly a moral vacuum. He lost in a duel with Sanji, the main force of the Luffy Group.

Although according to the normal timeline, he should first communicate with several other scientific geniuses affiliated with the research team MADS.

But so far, MADS does not seem to have been established.

"It was because I went back to kill him that I was accidentally captured by the Beast Pirates. As for whether I succeeded in killing him...I'm sorry I didn't."

"There were more than twenty people following me at the time. We went against the flow of people, vowing to complete the final mission. Until we met the monster."

"Who?"

"Kaido."

She was unwilling to say anything more, and the two of them rested for a while and continued moving forward.

In this closed country, walking is the most common method. The samurai of Wano traveled throughout Wano, looking for opportunities that would make their swordsmanship improve by leaps and bounds. Whether it is a ferocious beast or a powerful bandit, they are all subjects that they are delighted to test.

But this does not mean that there are no other means of transportation in Wano. On the contrary, every daimyo kept a large number of mounts and tools. The most popular ones are of course horses. Excellent war horses imported from overseas are strong, endurance and can walk in the mountains.

For this reason, and in addition to the lack of horses in Wano itself, ox-carts are still used among the people, and donkey-carts are more common. However, unlike what modern people imagine, the highest-standard national highways in the entire country are actually at the level of rural dirt roads. Because the roads are so bad, even if the Flower Capital of Wano Country occupies about half of the country's population, the remaining daimyo are still able to unite to fight against the Black Carbon Orochi.

As the two got closer to the town, more and more axles came into their possession. Although the entire road had been buried under heavy snow, at a certain point, a dedicated, clean surface suddenly opened up.

"Is this done by spreading salt?" Fiona Mag looked at the road opened in front of her, feeling a little surprised.

"Salt, a strategic substance, is only used in a few places such as holy places to remove snow." Duanmu corrected her fallacy.

"It should be open to manpower. We should not be far from our destination."

"Do you need a break?"

"No." Looking at Fiona Mag, who was still in high spirits, Duanmu smiled bitterly.

His endurance was still too low, and the bitter consequences of not exercising for a long time were clearly evident.

The two crossed a hillside and saw a collapsed vehicle in the middle of the road. One of the wheels of the vehicle was now off the ground, and the carriage fell over. There were scattered arrows stuck in the surrounding snow, and some snow dyed red.

"what happened?"

Duanmu moved his gaze to the carriage of the vehicle. Although the canvas of the caravan was in tatters, through the light and shadow, it seemed that there was something inside.

Fiona McGonagall used a wooden stick to raise the car curtain.

What happened at the same time as her lifting the car curtain was a shout from a distance.

"Careful, traveler!"

Upon hearing this scream, the two people's reactions were very different.

Duanmu immediately lay down on his body, while Fiona Mag stood upright with her feet spread apart, with her left foot in front and her right foot behind.

The long stick in her hand was pointed upwards in front of her. The wrists of both hands were concentrated and neat. She held the bottom of the stick with her right hand and clasped her thumb on it. To ensure that we can respond quickly at any time.

Duanmu's eyes widened.

As the curtain was lifted, a baboon ball nearly three meters tall came rushing in front of him!

Baboonmaru, a native of Wano, is the strongest monster besides the wild boar.

Because the prototype of Wano is Japan, and in Japan's history, there are no tigers or bears that can exceed specifications and are truly ferocious beasts. Therefore, for a long time in Japanese history, truly powerful generals were generally named after Japan's peerless beasts.

And this beast is a pig.

Therefore, in the ancient history of Japan, if someone was called General Pig by the enemy, he might not be a senior general of the Fruit Army, but it also meant that he was extremely ferocious.

In the One Piece manga, it is not difficult to understand why the mountain god is a wild boar. Why the mountain god of Wano is a wild boar is also because of Japan’s unique geographical environment.

In addition to wild boars, there are many second most powerful creatures in Japan, and the less controversial one is the Japanese orangutan (monkey).

And this group of orangutan-like creatures is different from the prototypes in reality. This kind of local beast in Wano is a chaotic evil. While they retain a certain amount of wisdom, they are often driven by their own instincts due to impulse. Most of them are powerful and like to use weapons.

It is said that this kind of baboon is closely related to the guys on the island where Hawkeye lives in the future.

They have pointed ears and huge fangs that can bite a human foot off in one bite. The muscles on his body are swollen and the hair is thick, and the yellow eyes under his thick eyebrows are always full of fighting spirit.

Of course, these are not the most deadly aspects of Baboon Pill.

The scariest thing about them is that they occasionally use near-human intelligence. They are very cunning and have learned a lot about sneak attacks and ambushes.

A baboon pill's sneak attack could slam an unsuspecting warrior into the ground, and then use his immense strength to tear the person in half.

Many newly debuted Wano warriors died on this.

The fancy swordsmanship and the fine sword made of fine steel are no match for his shameless sneak attack.

This baboon Wan was obviously hungry for a long time. He rushed out of the carriage and slapped Fiona McGonagall. There was a strong wind and a harsh friction sound in the air.

By this time, Duanmu had already taken out his pistol.

You beast, eat the bullets!

Bullets spurted out from Duanmu's hand. Almost instantly, Bugbear's left hand had a big hole, and large streams of blood spurted out from his face.

Although Baboon Pill is a beast, he is very afraid of pain. After being hit, his ferocity did not arouse, but his face showed visible pain.

"Good job! One more shot!"

"I try my best."

However, Duanmu did not have the energy to shoot another bullet, because his hands were still numb due to the strong recoil.

This severe pain obviously disrupted Baboon Maru's actions. Fiona Mag retreated and dodged, out of the monster's attack range, and she didn't forget to hit him on the head with the wooden stick in her hand.

Then she took out a round object from her pocket, pulled off the safety and threw it forward.

Eat my grenade!

The spherical object drew a trajectory in the air and hit the monster's body head-on. Then sparks flew.

The earth is shaking and the mountains are shaking.

At this time, there was movement not far away.

Several figures wearing thick winter clothes came from afar, followed closely by the sound of bows and arrows whizzing through the air.

However, their attack came too late.

In the flames, Baboon Pill was already a corpse.

"Well done, Miss Fiona McGonagall." Duanmu couldn't help but swallow as he looked at the corpse of the beast with flames still burning on its fur. He got up from the ground and brushed the snow off himself.

"You guys over there, have you been watching the show for a long time?" Duanmu said, looking at the figures that suddenly appeared and flashed out from the distance.

"Hello, you two, I'm sorry to frighten you. We are caravan guards from Jiuli."

A tall and thin warrior wearing shabby leather armor and a stubble on his face gradually approached with several guys who looked malnourished and also wore shabby clothes.

He first looked at Fiona Mag, thinking in his mind what a beautiful woman, and then shifted his gaze to Duanmu.

He then pulled out a shorter man from behind who was equally nervous and introduced: "This is the owner of our caravan, Mr. Mangkhut."

"Hello, two of you. You were attacked by the Baboon Maru here, right?" Duanmu noticed that the group of people, whether they were the nominal boss Mangkhut or not named, actually seemed very powerful. The older samurai looked like they were in a mess that hadn't been taken care of in a long time.

"Yes, this monster attacked our carriage and attacked the horses we used to transport goods. We can only wait and see if there is a chance and find a way to salvage some of the goods, otherwise we will be doomed."

"You can't beat a baboon pill?" Duanmu looked at this group of people - there were at least a dozen of them, seven or eight weapons, and two bows in their hands.

"Isn't it? Fortunately you are here, otherwise we really don't know how to deal with this monster." Businessman Shanzhu approached enthusiastically and took out a dog skin plaster from his arms.

"Two warriors, are you injured? I have healing potions here."

It was made of unknown materials and had no identifying marks. Duanmu declined the enthusiasm from the other side.

"No, we are locals from Suzuo. Helping the vendors coming and going is what we should do."

As Duanmu showed a bright smile, the mercenary captain headed by him couldn't help but be moved. He was indeed a handsome young man with such an innocent smile.

He faced the two of them and secretly made a gesture to his men behind his back.

The danger is lifted.

"Well, we are going back to the central area behind the bell. Although the journey is not far away, it is still a bit dangerous for the two of us to be together on the road. And you are obviously in trouble as well, so how about we go together?"

"But it's my goods." Shengzhu was a little scared.

"Is your life more important, or the money? Boss, please think about it carefully, okay?"

The warrior leader first spoke to his boss, and then continued: "Are you willing to go with us?" He clenched his fists excitedly.

"You are locals, and we are also looking for a few locals to help. It just so happens that our destination is the same on both sides."

There’s not much to say about the rest of the trip.

There were seven or eight people in the group that Duanmu met. The warrior leader shouted to the smartest among them to explore the road ahead. Then he loaded up the repaired car and invited the two of them to get on and sit on it.

However, Duanmu refused, and the group didn't care. They loaded the few remaining goods into the car, and the group started to continue on their way.

The world buried under heavy snow is completely white, and many beasts have fallen into hibernation. The level of danger is completely different from when spring first came.

There were no more problems along the way. The armed strength of this group of caravan members was actually not very weak. Occasionally they encountered a few silly spores, which they caught directly and prepared to use them as a snack in the evening.

It was getting dark, and the leading warrior found the two people who had been hanging at the end.

"We plan to camp out front, how about you two?"

"Just walk a little further and there will be a locally owned hotel."

"Hey, the things there are too expensive and we can't afford them. They will cheat us foreigners out of a huge sum of money."

At this time, the warrior noticed that Duanmu had a downcast face.

"What's the matter, sir?" the warrior asked cautiously.

At this time, Duanmu's face had turned from cloudy to sunny, and he showed a bright smile again: "It's okay, then just do as you said. We are also prepared to spend the night outside. When the time comes, we will take care of each other, and It’s a good choice.”

So the samurai returned to the crowd in front.

"We're setting up camp in front, hurry up and try to get everything done before dark."

Fiona McGonagall whispered in Duanmu's ear.

"This group of people just look down on women, and they also have evil intentions."

Duanmu smiled: "Don't waste the extra money delivered to your door. With luck, we can still have some connections with the Chamber of Commerce."
