Kirby, the God of Pirates

"Hey! You guy!" Before Sanji could get angry, Usopp, who was trembling all over, was the first to attack.

"Don't... don't underestimate people! We have cannons! Do you understand cannons!"

"kindness?!"

The old man's pupils suddenly shrank, and his bloodshot pupils looked even more terrifying.

quiet--

It was extremely quiet. For a moment, several people thought that Usopp had successfully angered the other party.

"better not..."

The old man's hoarse voice came over, like a traveler who had been wandering in the desert for several months and was about to die of thirst, his eyes fixed on Usopp.

Death, there was a signal of danger in the old man's eyes. With just one look, Usopp couldn't stand the old man's eyes anymore and squatted down holding his head.

"It's best not to... risk death..." The old man's hands holding the newspaper remained motionless, as if he was used to seeing life and death. His whole body was obviously in the most relaxed state, but his eyes were terrifying.

"Wow ah ah..."

Usopp screamed in fear, as if he had seen a nightmare, and even Kirby glanced at the old man in surprise and groaned in confusion.

[Did...did I make a mistake? 】

"Who...who is going to die..." Sanji showed a smile that was uglier than crying, and his cigarette butt was bent.

"Me!" the old man said confidently, as casually as if he was saying "Let's eat tomatoes and scrambled eggs today."

"So it's you!!!"

"You—!" Sanji finally couldn't help but get angry. He stepped on the edge of the boat and might be kicked out at any time.

"Haha, don't get excited." Zoro chuckled and patted Sanji on the shoulder, stopping him.

"How dare you play tricks on us!" Sanji still had an indignant expression on his face and clenched his teeth tightly.

No wonder, given the tense atmosphere just now, saying those words was undoubtedly a declaration of war. If the other party wasn't just a rather old, bad old man, Sanji would have been unable to resist kicking him in the face.

"Okay, okay... the old man was just joking."

Zoro seemed to be used to seeing the big world. He pushed Sanji behind him and faced the old man himself.

"Hey, old man, we want to inquire..."

"Where are you here, and who are you?" Zoro smiled easily, showing his white wisdom teeth.

"!"

The old man’s eyes widened again!

quiet--!

It was extremely quiet, the air solidified for a moment, and you could hear a needle drop. The old man's aura suddenly tightened, as if he was asked whether a nuclear bomb was going to be launched, and he stared into the man's eyes.

"What did you say?!"

“When asking someone’s name, isn’t it basic etiquette to tell yourself your family name?!”

As if coming from a devil's whisper, the old man's hoarse voice condensed a heavy light through the reflective lenses.

"what..."

A drop of hot sweat fell from Zoro's forehead, he opened his mouth, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Ah...that's true..."

Years of bounty life made Sauron feel a little uncomfortable with the old man's strict etiquette requirements, but after thinking about it, he was still ready to speak frankly.

"Sorry, I was negligent before. I am Roronoa..."

"I am Crox..." the old man suddenly interrupted Sauron's self-introduction and said calmly, "...the guardian of the Twin Straits, I am 71 years old, Gemini, my blood type is AB, I like to eat The thing is..."

"Can I kill him!" This time it was Sauron's turn to collapse. The long black knife was unsheathed almost instantly, his muscles trembled due to excessive excitement, and his eyes were twisted into shark eyes.

"Calm down, calm down..." Sanji broke into a hot sweat and pulled Zoro in sympathy, trying his best to stop the violent man.

"You asked me where this is—"

At this moment, the old man continued to speak, and his voice returned to normal.

"Hmph... You guys broke into my private resort island without permission and spoke so loudly. How brave you are."

"Where do you think this is, the belly of a mouse?"

"It must be a whale." Kebi, who had been chuckling next to him, suddenly said.

"I think we should be facing each other in the belly of the whale. I'm afraid you are not an ordinary vacationer. I feel the aura from you that only a guardian can give out."

"The breath of the guardian?" The old man seemed to be quite interested in Kebi's words, and glanced at Kebi unexpectedly.

"That's right!" Kebi nodded affirmatively, "I won't admit it. Calm, vicissitudes, and eternity, you have such an aura about you."

"Hey, forget it!" The old man rolled his eyes, "I thought it was someone, but it turned out to be just a yellow-haired girl with no hair at all! What do you know?"

"..."

"Can I roast him!"

"Calm down! Calm down! Kebi..." The corner of Nami's mouth twitched and pulled Kebi. After this, the girl finally understood. The old man didn't seem to have any ill intentions towards her, he just really liked to joke. ...

"Um...old man, are we really in the belly of a whale?"

"That's right." The old man unexpectedly nodded seriously and pointed at the soles of everyone's feet.

"I advise you to leave quickly. Your wooden boat cannot withstand the stomach acid and will be digested after a while."

"!"

Only then did everyone discover that the island where the old man was staying was not just a simple island, but a special island boat soaked in stomach acid. Traces of iron sheets were exposed on the bottom of the island. Only in this way, the island would not Attacked by gastric acid.

"Here - the exit is over there!"

The old man raised his thumb and pointed at the abrupt iron door on the side.

Everyone looked over and saw a huge iron gate on the sea. The iron gate was blocked by a heavy chain, and it seemed to be suspended in the sky, embedded in a blue sky and white clouds.

"This..."

Even the well-informed Zoro couldn't help but be severely shocked, and Kebi frowned even more.

[Space mage? !Sure enough, he was mistaken, this old man was hiding everything! 】

"Wait...wait a minute...Why is there an exit in the whale's belly! And it's still in the air!"

Nami's eyes widened and she said what everyone was thinking.

"Ah, that!" The old man looked like he knew what he was saying. He chuckled and raised his mustache quite proudly.

"This is just a doctor's hobby."

"Hobby...?" Usopp looked around, his head swinging like a top.

"Wait a minute! Look!" The boy pointed his finger at the top of everyone's head. Although the sky seemed very real, if you look carefully, you can still see some clues.

There is no blue sky or white clouds here, it was clearly painted by someone else!

"Ah! It's true!"

Everyone reacted one after another, but Kebi's face looked a little bad, as if he had been slapped several times in the face in an instant, and the corners of his eyebrows couldn't help twitching.

"..."

No one would look good after being tricked so many times, not to mention that this is what Kebi thinks he is.

This old man obviously has no strength, why should he pretend to be real, bastard!

"Wow!"

In the blue sky and white clouds, the seagulls have never moved. If you look carefully, you can actually find that tiny signature!

"Knokoe...Who is this? Is it the artist's name? The painting is so beautiful..."

...
