Sailing: Captain, Raftel is Here

The old man on crutches led Carl and the others into a dilapidated house.

This house is dilapidated enough, even if it is all made of stones, it still gives people a feeling of crumbling. Moreover, there is only a small wooden table and a few stone piers in the room, and there is no furniture at all.

The old lady also came in, took the initiative to take a few chipped bowls to pour water for the guests.

"Old man, where is your family?" Tashigi couldn't help asking softly.

"Family? Sigh!" The old man sighed deeply, and said with a miserable smile, "They are all dead, they would have died a long time ago. If I hadn't been the village head of this village, I would have gone too!"

Tashigi froze, and immediately bowed apologetically, not knowing what to say for a moment.

The old man showed a kind smile, but he didn't expect that the girl was not bad, and she even apologized to him as a bad old man. Perhaps, these pirates are not as vicious as imagined.

The old lady helped the old man to sit down, as if silently comforting him.

The old man pondered for a while before opening his mouth: "This island is called Thunder God Island. Because of its special location, for thousands of years, thunder and lightning will automatically fall on the island, just like rain. People think that this is the island where the God of Thunder lives, so This is how the island was named. Therefore, in 970, many people chose to settle on this island in order to obtain the protection of the God of Thunder. Moreover, the ancestors also developed an umbrella that can avoid thunder and lightning, so that people can stay on the island of Thunder God. Enron in and out.

As he spoke, he reached out and took out an umbrella.

Pointing to the umbrella, the old man said: "Look, there is a special ore inlaid on the rib of the umbrella, called the lightning-proof stone. As long as the lightning-proof stone is inlaid according to the structure of the umbrella, the effect of automatically retreating from lightning can be achieved. In addition, the umbrella surface The material used must also be made of special insulators, otherwise it will still be struck by lightning..."

The old man really introduced the umbrella well, as if he wasn't afraid of any leaks, maybe it wasn't a secret in itself.

Of course, few people can understand it, probably only Franky can understand it.

"So, what's the current situation on Thunder God Island? You haven't been protected by Thunder God, have you?" Carl asked directly, as if he didn't care about the old man's feelings.

The old man froze. It seems that if he doesn't make it clear today, this person will be endless.

Moreover, other people are also very curious, because the tragedy of the village chief and the fear of the villagers are too obvious, which shows that there is no protection from the god of thunder at all, but they are facing danger.

The old man's family members probably died because of this!

But the old lady took up the conversation at this moment, "How can there be any protection from Thor! It's just a bunch of damned pirates!"

"Old girl! Don't talk nonsense!" the old man quickly reprimanded.

"What can't we say? Old brother, how much we have suffered, our relatives have left us one by one, are we really alive? Rather than that, let them kill us all!" The old lady was very strange at this time. outraged.

The old man opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound.

The old lady continued: "About ten years ago, a group of powerful pirates came here. The leader of that group of pirates was very powerful, and the lightning on the island could not harm him at all, and was even controlled by him. The thieves took over the island as a matter of course, and the leader also claimed to be Thor!

The pirates wanted to enslave several of our villages, but we couldn't be reconciled, so we rose up to resist.

But those pirates were so powerful, my child, my brother's child and many others were beaten to death by them. Later, they threatened to kill the children and asked us to surrender. Our villages had to choose to submit for the lives of the children. "

Speaking of this, the old lady and the old man had already burst into tears.

Tashigi, Franky and Brook were filled with righteous indignation, wishing to tear those pirates to pieces on the spot.

The old lady wiped her tears and continued: "Afterwards, the young and strong will be assigned to mine lightning protection ore, while the women will be required to produce (ccdf) umbrellas with all their strength, and the pirates will collect them. But they allow us to sell umbrellas , and then collect protection fees every month. Those who fail to pay the protection fee will either be killed or mortgage their children and daughter-in-law... After careful calculation, it has been ten years. In the past ten years, we have actually been quite Yu is dead!"

"This group of damned scum!"

Tashigi was almost in a rage, obviously out of anger.

The others didn't give up too much, although they all knew that pirates did all kinds of crimes, including burning, killing and looting, and everyone was a pirate themselves, but they couldn't hear such things.

Now that I've heard it today, I won't give up on this matter so easily!

Carl frowned, he really didn't have any impression of those pirates.

Besides Thunder Fruit and Electric Fruit, is there any other fruit that can control lightning? Could it be some kind of talent? Or some kind of technology?

I really can't figure it out, but Carl is not worried about it.

If the pirates controlling this island were really strong enough, they would have been emperors of the sea long ago. Since the strength is not strong, then there is nothing to worry about.

At this moment, there was movement outside the house.

A male voice was heard swearing: "Young and strong come out, it's time for mining today! Women also come out, and hand in all the daily quota umbrellas! Don't think about resisting, or you will die!"

Hearing this voice, Straw Hat Crew's face suddenly darkened.

When the villagers heard the words, they also walked out of the house sparsely.

The young and strong man carried a pickaxe and a shovel and walked out of the room with numb eyes. The women, holding umbrellas in fear, followed behind the young man cautiously. Some even put ashes on their faces on purpose, lest they look beautiful and be ruined by these beasts.

Tashigi and Franky couldn't bear it first, and followed them out of the room.

I saw five or six sleazy pirates holding knives and guns, checking the quality of umbrellas, and eating some women's tofu by the way.

When I saw Tashigi, my eyes lit up instantly.

"Hey, who does this beauty belong to? It's the first time I've seen it. Come here and let my brother play!"

A pirate walked towards Tashigi with a smirk, and the salty pig's hand stretched directly towards Tashigi's face.

Seeing this, the other pirates didn't care about any umbrellas, and all surrounded them.

But in the next second, a knife flashed, and the pirate who stretched out his hand was directly beheaded by Tashigi, and the blood sprayed high like a water jet.

The other pirates were startled and all froze in place.

"You scum, you deserve to die!"

It was the first time for Tashigi to show such a hostile side. In a flash, he passed through the three pirates, and the heads of the three pirates flew up.

As for the remaining two pirates, Franky pinched their heads and lifted them into the air.
