In the kitchen——

pat-

Bogudan put the prepared pork buns into the steamer, then covered the cage and lit the firewood.

"It's all ready. You can eat it when it's cooked."

"Great, I can't wait." Luffy said excitedly as he watched the steamer slowly emitting steam.

Out of curiosity, Sanji also walked over to the steamer and took a closer look, "Oh? It's quite exquisite."

"But how long will it take, Grandpa?"

"How long will it take? About 4 to 5 hours."

Hearing this, Usopp couldn't help but complain: "Grandpa, you call 4-5 hours a while!?"

However, for the elderly, 4 to 5 hours is indeed a fleeting moment. After all, it takes them several hours to have a cup of tea and chat. Luffy and his friends have a different concept of time from Grandpa Bogudan, so it is normal for Usopp to complain.

It doesn’t matter to Yi Chen.

An hour later, Luffy leaned against the wall, looking desperate: "I'm hungry...my stomach..."

In the living room, Nami, who was sitting on a chair, took a sip of tea and then asked Bogudan:

"Oh, by the way, Grandpa Bogudan, we want to know why the navy wants to capture Abis? Besides, there are so many navy people."

"Do you know why?"

Hearing this, Bogudan was stunned. He didn't know why the navy wanted to arrest Abis. Then Bogudan looked at Abis and said, "Abis, the reason why the navy wants to arrest you is...?"

Seeing Bogudan asking her, Abisi replied softly, "I don't know either."

"But didn't you look unwilling to say anything on the boat?" Nami asked Abis who said she didn't know.

"That's why I didn't tell you because I didn't know." Abis looked at Nami and replied.

Hearing this, Nami didn't know what to say to Abis. Instead, she felt that what she said made some sense.

Seeing that Abis said she didn't know, Bogudan replied calmly: "Then I have no idea why."

"However, there is really nothing on this island. If I must say something, it would only be the ancient legends that are still circulating today."

Hearing this, Usopp became interested: "What kind of legend is it?"

Seeing Usopp's curious look, Bogudan began to tell the legend: "It is said that the original residents of this island are the descendants of the Lost Island that was prosperous tens of thousands of years ago but eventually sank to the bottom of the sea."

"On the Lost Island, there lived a dragon called the Millennium Dragon. The bones of the Millennium Dragon were called dragon bones by people and were also called the elixir of immortality..."

After listening to this, Shan blew out a puff of smoke and said, "So there is such a legend. However, such an unfounded legend alone should not be enough to mobilize so many navy forces to capture a little girl."

"Yeah, this is too weird."

“I can’t understand why the navy would send so many people.”

"Is there really a clue to the dragon bones in that legend?"

Usopp, Nami and Zoro wondered.

Hearing this, the old man looked at everyone seriously and said, "As for the clues, it's a long story. It all starts with Iskantank, the first king of the Lost Island."

Abisi, who was sitting next to Yi Chen, rolled her eyes and muttered quietly, "He's going to start telling his long story again."

Usopp, Nami and the other two also listened to the legend told by Bogudan very seriously, afraid of missing any details.

As for Luffy, he was leaning against the wall, with food in his eyes and mind, and he had no interest in the legend at all. As for Yi Chen, although he didn't think about anything, he was not interested in the story told by Bogudan.

At this time, Abisi squatted down and fled out of the house. Before leaving, she made a gesture to Yi Chen to keep quiet, indicating that she didn't want to listen and didn't want to be discovered that she had slipped away.

Seeing this, Yi Chen also smiled and nodded, while Luffy was confused and even a little curious about what Abis was going to do. But he didn't think much about it, and continued to lean against the wall in a daze.

"King Aiku Naphthoquinone has three children. The eldest is called Aitou Lanqiu, the second is called Aikun Aikun, and the third is called Aihao Aihao..."

Two and a half hours later, Bogudan was still telling the legend to everyone: "So we went to the 666th King Voelulu's house. He had three princes."

"The eldest son is Wo Ai Fei Ji, the second son is Wo Ai Se Ju, and the third son is Wo Ai Tank... (the following words are omitted)"

Usopp, who was sitting opposite Bogudan at this time, forced himself to open his eyes, but he couldn't stand the old man in front of him telling a clueless story in a nesting doll-like manner.

Nami, who was too tired from listening, leaned on Yichen's shoulder and whispered in Yichen's ear, "How long will this old man finish talking?"

"I don't know about that either." Yi Chen, who was feeling a little bored, replied to Nami.

As for Luffy, Zoro and Sanji, they fell asleep leaning against the wall.

At this time, Bogudan was still tirelessly telling his legendary story: "The three children of King Ilawan and Moshimoshi..."

"Do we have to wait until he finishes talking before we can eat the pork buns? I'm so hungry!" After saying that, Usopp couldn't hold on and fell to the ground.

Hearing the words "pork buns", Luffy stood up in a daze: "Pork... buns... I'm so hungry..."

"Where are you going, Luffy?"

Bending over and lacking energy, Luffy replied weakly, "Go pee."

Then Luffy walked out without caring about what Yi Chen and Nami were saying.

In the kitchen, Abisi was holding a large bag and filling it with pork buns: "Wait for me, Lord Long..."

After a while, Yichen also stood up and walked out of the house. Nami followed Yichen out of the house and said, "Where are you going, Yichen? Wait for me."

Yi Chen walked outside and stretched: "Ha, it's like listening to a lullaby." Listening to the old grandfather telling stories, Yi Chen seemed to recall the memories of listening to monks chanting when he was in junior high and high school. At that time, he was so sleepy that he stacked the books high and made a warm home for his head.

Nami followed and patted Yichen on the back: "Are you going to look for Luffy, Yichen?"

Hearing this, Yi Chen turned around and spread his hands towards Nami: "This is just one of the reasons. The most important thing is that I really couldn't stand it anymore, so I came out to get some fresh air."

"It's really a bit hard to listen to. I thought he was going to give us some clues, but I didn't expect he just wanted to tell a story."

Nami nodded in agreement, then looked towards the kitchen, "Let's go see if the pork buns are ready."

Hearing this, Yi Chen nodded, and then the two of them walked towards the kitchen together.

"Huh...huh..."

As soon as they walked into the kitchen, Yi Chen and Nami heard snoring coming from inside.
