Chapter 130 Blackbeard Pirates

"Wow~"

"So many people!"

On the deck of the Merry, the Straw Hat Pirates stood at the bow.

Luffy looked at the densely packed guards standing high up and immediately exclaimed.

"There are quite a lot of people, but..."

"They don't look very friendly."

Boom! ! !

Zoro, who was standing next to Luffy, suddenly condensed his eyes.

In an instant, a powerful aura suddenly emanated from his body, like a ferocious black dragon, looking down on everything in front of him from high in the sky!

As Zoro's dark eyes passed over the soldiers above...

Although they were far away, the soldiers above still stepped back several steps involuntarily.

As if getting closer would be life-threatening!

Even their commander Dalton couldn't help but dilate his pupils at this time, filled with fear.

"This...is this the deterrence of the pirate with a bounty of 79.5 million Baileys!?" Dalton was shocked.

Even when he attacked the Blackbeard Pirates not long ago, he had never felt such fear!

This was a unique skill that Zoro had mastered after successfully mastering his own sense of oppression.

Just a glance was enough to make those who were weaker than him feel fear and cowardice.

Even those who were stronger than him would be affected to some extent.

Not like the Conqueror's Haki, but better than the Conqueror's Haki!

At this moment, the Merry, which had never stopped moving forward, had successfully arrived at the port of the Drum Island.

Under the fearful eyes of the guards, the Straw Hat Pirates stepped directly onto the land covered with snow.

"You...you..."

Dalton wanted to say something to stop him, but under the oppression of Zoro, he couldn't say a complete sentence.

Finally, it was Red who smiled and waved:

"Okay, Zoro."

"They are all warriors who dare to defend their country. Don't make it too difficult for them."

As Red's voice fell, Zoro slowly withdrew his power.

The soldiers present also breathed a sigh of relief.

In the cold winter, they broke out in a cold sweat.

Red stepped forward and showed a formal smile like a diplomat.

"Hello, Mr. Dalton."

He smiled and stretched out his hand to express his goodwill to the other party.

"Hello... Hello..."

Dalton, who had just woken up, still had a confused mind. He subconsciously stretched out his palm and shook it with Red.

But then he remembered...

The pirates who appeared in front of them at this moment could endanger their country!

Fortunately, Red did not give Dalton too much time to think.

He spoke directly to comfort them:

"Don't be nervous, Mr. Dalton."

"We are just sailing along the record pointer and passing by here. We have no ill intentions."

"If possible, please let us land on this island and purchase some supplies for sea voyages."

"Ah, this..."

Dalton, who had never met such a polite pirate, was stunned.

Then he immediately turned his eyes to the straw hats behind Chihong, as well as the non-staff members Vivi and Smoker.

At this time, they had already started laughing and playing, making a mess.

Compared with the pirates who burned, killed and looted, they were more like a group of tourists who came to this island to travel.

However, this group of tourists not only had a very special identity, but also seemed to be stronger than one another in terms of force.

After a moment, Dalton took a deep breath and said slowly:

"I hope you can do as you said!"

"Please rest assured~"

Chihong smiled slightly and assured Dalton.

...

...

Half an hour later

In a small village on Drum Island.

Under the escort and surveillance of Dalton and others, the Straw Hat Pirates came to a hotel.

Outside the window, there was heavy snow.

Inside the window, it was a barbecue party as warm as spring.

With the heat from the bonfire, the Straw Hat Pirates, who had just arrived on Drum Island, enjoyed a lunch with the characteristics of Winter Island.

After eating and drinking, Luffy suddenly remembered something and said to Akane:

"By the way, Akane, didn't you just say there was a very interesting guy on this island!?"

"You also asked me if I would consider inviting him to join us..."

"Where is that guy you mentioned now?"

"Oh? Have you thought it through?" Akane looked up at Luffy with a smile on her face:

"There are already quite a few people on the Merry. If we invite others to join, our cabin will not be enough!"

"Hehe, what's the matter~"

Luffy smiled indifferently:

"If you meet a great guy, of course you have to do everything you can to invite them on board!"

"Besides, isn't the smoking man about to leave? It's just right that his vacant position can be given to a new partner!"

"Puff~! Cough cough!!!"

Smoker, who was lowering his presence in the corner of the crowd, felt a bleak cold wind blowing through the wall and blowing on his body after hearing Luffy's words.

For a moment, his world seemed to have turned into a lonely black and white.

But Chihong suddenly knocked the wine glass in his hand on the table.

"Well, since the captain has made a decision, as a crew member, I have to do everything I can to complete the task you assigned."

"So, who wants to go with me to see that interesting guy?"

After the voice fell, Chihong's eyes began to sweep in front of the Straw Hat people one by one.

But Zoro, who was the first to be watched, shook his head gently:

"This opportunity is rare. I want to use the climate of this island to stimulate the ice swordsmanship that I have not mastered."

"After all, we won't stay here for too long, so I won't go."

"Anyway, you will bring him back sooner or later, right?"

Zoro grinned and said to Chihong.

"That's true." Chihong nodded.

Although it is a very important thing to let Zoro use dragon-attribute energy to create ice-type sword moves...

But the situation in Alabasta is not optimistic. Every day that passes, countless lives will suffer because of the conspiracy of Crocodile and Baroque Studio.

Since they have promised Vivi to save her country, they naturally don't have much time to waste.

"Me too!"

As soon as Zoro's voice fell, Usopp beside him immediately raised his hand and said:

"I want to test the performance and mating speed of several insects in the extreme cold."

"So everything can only trouble you, Red."

"And me~"

Nami followed up and said: "I want to investigate the root cause of this island being in winter all year round."

"Such accumulation will help improve my navigation skills."

"I just ate a unique combination in the dish, so I plan to go to the market here to see if there are any corresponding spices or other ingredients.

Vivi raised her hand and said with great regret:

"I'm so sorry, Red."

"I have agreed with my father to talk to him later."

"You should want to climb the Drum Mountain. The signal over there looks very bad, so I'll just forget it. "

After Akari's continuous questioning, only Luffy, Robin, and Smoker decided to follow Akari to the mountains where they might meet new partners.

In fact, Smoker didn't want to fool around with Luffy and the others.

After all, it was a matter between pirates, what did it have to do with him as a navy?

But watching the Straw Hats leave the warm hotel one by one, leaving him alone with nothing to do...

Under the puzzled and curious eyes of Dalton and others, he had no choice but to pick up his ten-handed weapon and follow Akari and the others.

Just like that...

Luffy laughing in surprise, Akari calm and composed, Robin with flashing eyes, and Smoker with a face full of resentment...

A group of four people formed a strange team and rushed to the "witch's residence" they had inquired about.

…

…

At the same time, the first half of the Grand Line.

Not far from the Drum Island, on an uninhabited island that was not on the recorded pointer route.

A slow sound of horse hooves suddenly sounded.

I saw a sick ghost lying on an equally sick white horse, running forward weakly.

Looking at their miserable appearance, even if the man and the horse died in the next second, it would not be surprising.

But even so, the sick ghost who died on the back of the sick horse still waved the newspaper and several bounty orders in his hand, shouting hoarsely:

"Captain! Captain! Something big happened!!!"

"Huh!? "

Under the shade of a tree, several people who heard the shouting suddenly turned around.

Seeing this scene, a man with a thick black beard burst into laughter:

"Thief hahaha~"

"Poison Q, you are finally back!"

"If you don't come back, we can only abandon you, a slow guy!"

"What a ruthless captain!"

Poison Q grinned, but the next second he suddenly fell powerlessly on Bai Ma Zhuangzhuang.

"But if you really abandon me like this, you will miss a very important intelligence!"

While speaking, the dying Poison Q suddenly seemed to have lost his grip in his hand and dropped the newspaper and several scattered bounty orders.

It fell right in front of Blackbeard.

In an instant, a face with a straw hat and a bright smile appeared in front of him.

"What is this! ? "

Blackbeard was stunned, looking at the bounty in front of him.

Beside him, Lafayette also quickly picked up the newspaper on the ground and opened it quickly. And read it.

"Straw Hat Pirates! ?"

"When did such a powerful group of guys appear on the sea! ?"

Lafayette looked at the introduction of the Straw Hat Pirates in the newspaper in shock.

Perhaps it was because the Grand Line was too peaceful recently, and the Straw Hat Pirates suddenly emerged, and received a bounty of more than 300 million Baileys.

So even in the Grand Line, the Straw Hat Pirates began to spread the feats of the East China Sea.

"Hahahaha!"

At this moment, Blackbeard, who was holding three bounty orders for the Straw Hat Pirates, did indeed suddenly let out a crazy laugh.

"I'm so sleepy and someone gave me a pillow!"

"I was just worrying about how to get into the sight of the navy. God gave me such an opportunity."

"It seems that we don't have to wait too long. Our plan can be realized."

A dark flash flashed in Blackbeard's eyes.

He opened his mouth wide, and then suddenly clenched the bounty order of Luffy and others, as if he wanted to hold it tightly in his palm.

The total value of the pirate group is more than 300 million Baileys, which is enough for him to negotiate many conditions with the navy.

"Lafayette, use your relationship to help me find out the location of the Straw Hat Pirates!"

"If the opportunity is right, we may be able to carry out our plan in advance!!!"

"Yes, Captain!"

Lafayette, like a white-faced gentleman, saluted slightly and responded quickly.

The strongman Bajes on the side also stood up immediately, with an excited look on his face.

For him, who is not good at thinking but has a muscular body, it is a happy thing to have a suitable opponent.

In the entire Blackbeard Pirates, only Van Oka still maintained the characteristics of a sniper, showing a calm face throughout the whole process, as if nothing in the world would surprise him.

…

…

The scene returns to Drum Island.

The cold and dangerous climate did not affect the pace of Red and his group.

After all, no matter which of them, they are not easy to deal with, how could they be defeated by the weather?

Soon, they climbed to the top of a mountain covered with snow.

"Wow, there is actually a castle here, that uncle did not lie to us!"

Luffy, who was the first to reach the top, immediately showed a surprised expression and began to look around with curious eyes.

He was also searching for the interesting guy who might become a partner as Red said.

However, after groping for a long time, Luffy's face suddenly showed a puzzled expression.

"Strange!?"

He opened his observation Haki with all his strength, scratched his head in confusion, and then immediately turned his eyes to Akari and asked:

"Akaari, are you sure that the guy you are talking about is here?"

"Why can't I feel the breath of a person here?"

"Ah? Is that so!?"

Knowing the relevant information about Chopper and Gureva, Akari was not too surprised. After thinking for a moment, he answered Luffy:

"Maybe they have gone down the mountain to see patients."

"After all, that guy, in addition to being able to understand Lab's language, is also a very good doctor."

"Doctor!? Gay~! So amazing!"

Luffy's eyes immediately glowed with gold, and he looked at Akari with a twinkling look.

After all, the position of the Straw Hat Pirates' ship doctor has been vacant.

Despite the existence of Akari, the Straw Hat Pirates are unlikely to encounter problems such as headaches, colds, and fevers.

But as a doctor, Chopper can do more than just cure diseases and save lives!

At the same time, he is also a very good pharmacist.

Whether it is the special medicines that appeared in the original plot or the blue ball developed by Chopper, they can all be regarded as wonders in the world!

And this is also one of the main reasons why Red, in addition to translating Lab's voice, is eager to get Chopper on board!
