Taoist priest, who is so popular in One Piece

"Have we finally gotten rid of those marines?"

On the Merry, Nami said with a sigh of relief.

"Hey, Nami! There looks like an island ahead!"

At this moment, Luffy, who was sitting on the bow of the goat ship, shouted excitedly.

“I want to go up and eat meat!!!”

"It is indeed an island, so let's move the boat over there."

Nami looked at it, nodded and said.

Soon, everyone docked the Merry at the port.

Because there were formations and paper dolls watching over the boat, all the Straw Hat Pirates set out again.

But when everyone just walked onto the port, a man dressed like a soldier stopped several people.

"Are you new here?"

The soldier seemed very dissatisfied:

"As long as the ship docks at our port of Lujiajia Island or the outer coast, it has to pay port tax."

"Port tax?" Chopper, carrying his medicine box on his back, tilted his head with a puzzled look on his face.

"Just understand it as asking us for money." Uso explained to Chopper in a simple and easy-to-understand way.

The first person to express dissatisfaction was naturally Nami.

Although because of Byakuya's changes, the Straw Hat Pirates can now be said to be rich.

But Nami's love of money is not so easy to change:

"Wait a minute, why do I have to pay taxes just for stopping the boat?"

Hearing this, the soldier immediately raised his musket and pointed it at Nami:

"This is the rule of our Lujiajia Island! Paying taxes is also your obligation!"

"Hey, hey, you guy."

Sanji quickly walked in front of Nami and blocked the gun:

"Don't be rude to ladies."

"Stop talking nonsense!" The soldier still insisted:

"Pay your taxes or leave!"

Just as the atmosphere was gradually becoming tense and Sanji and Zoro were both planning to take action, Bai Ye's voice suddenly rang out.

"So, as long as you don't stop the ship, you don't have to pay taxes, right?"

At the port, Bai Ye stood with his hands behind his back, showing a warm smile, pointing behind him and said to the soldiers:

"Have you seen our ship?"

"what!!!"

The soldier's mouth opened wide and his eyes bulged out.

"You must be kidding! Where's the boat?"

"I just saw such a big ship, how come it's gone?"

"As expected of you, you're the deputy captain."

Robin on the side sighed and looked at Bai Ye with admiration.

There is no good ending for a pirate group that only knows how to fight.

At this time, everyone in the Straw Hat Pirates also reacted.

Bai Ye should have just put the Merry into the interior.

Usopp and Chopper glanced at the somewhat collapsed soldier and tried hard to hold back their laughter.

Of course, not everyone reacted quickly enough.

Luffy: "Hey!!! Where's the Merry?!!!"

white night:...

Everyone:...

Anyway, the Straw Hat Pirates walked past the petrified soldiers and started walking towards the town on the island.

Then the men split into two groups.

The first route: Luffy, Byakuya, Robin and Usopp.

The target is a local restaurant.

The second route: Nami, Chopper, Sanji and Zoro.

The target is the shopping street in the town.

Inside the restaurant, Luffy drummed his hands on the table, eagerly waiting for the meal to arrive.

Bai Ye looked at Robin and said:

"By the way, did you get this book from Alabasta?"

If you have read the original White Night, you will naturally know what Robin is reading.

Robin looked at Bai Ye and smiled:

"Yes, it is a rather interesting adventure story."

"An adventure story? That would be more interesting indeed."

At this time, an old man's voice sounded.

"Yeah, indeed."

Usopp took over the conversation and nodded, then suddenly realized:

"Speaking of which, who are you!!!"

The old man that Usopp complained about was not tall, had gray hair and mustache, and carried a strange instrument on his back.

He looked at Usopp, "I am a genius scientist who studies rainbow mist."

Hearing this, Robin, who was flipping through a book, suddenly looked up at the old man, as if he had heard a topic of interest.

Usopp: "Why are you talking to us!!!"

"Besides, who would call themselves a genius!!!"

Bai Ye: "...You have said it many times yourself."

Usopp:? ? ?

Just when Usopp was full of questions, the restaurant chef came over with a few plates.

“Food!!!”

Luffy shouted happily, took the plate and started eating.

After placing the food on the table, the chef asked the old man:

"Come to think of it, you have money with you, right?"

"Of course, it's their treat."

The old man pointed his finger at Usopp and said.

Usopp: "Stop talking to yourself!!!"

The old man was not at all flustered and continued:

"I'll tell you the secret of the rainbow mist, and it's only reasonable for you to treat me."

Usopp: "Who cares about you! We didn't even say we had to listen!!!"

"My name is Henzo, and I have been studying rainbow mist for fifty years."

"Legend has it that the rainbow mist is the garden where the gods live..."

Usopp: "Hey, hey, hey, are you already talking?!!"

In this way, through Henzo's narration, several people also learned about the rainbow mist.

Rainbow fog is a thick fog that appears from time to time near the island, and countless adventurers have entered it.

But no one came back.

Among them were Henzo's friends.

“Is this a mysterious place?”

At this time, Luffy, who had eaten and drunk enough, spoke:

"That sounds interesting, hahaha."

"Hey, hey, hey, Luffy, didn't you hear what this guy just said?"

Usopp felt something was wrong when he heard Luffy's tone.

"Once you go in, you can never get out!!!"

Usopp also turned his gaze to Byakuya and Robin, hoping that they could help persuade Luffy.

who knows--

"It's more than just fun,"

Bai Ye smiled and said:

"So many adventurers have gone in and never come out, doesn't that mean there must be a lot of treasure there?"

"yes!!!"

When he heard the word treasure, Luffy's eyes instantly brightened.

Unlike Nami who is greedy for money, Luffy is purely pursuing the pleasure of getting treasure after adventure.

"I've decided!!! Next I'm going on an adventure in the Rainbow Mist!!!"

Hearing this, Usopp looked at Bai Ye with a look of despair.

Just pamper him.

"Hehe, the direction of the pirate ship can only be decided by the captain."

At this moment, Robin on the side also spoke.

Obviously, she also stands on the side of Bai Ye and Luffy.

But in comparison, there seemed to be some secret hidden in Robin's smile.

At this moment, a rhythmic drum beat suddenly came from outside the hotel.
