Seven days ago, the Little Strawberry docked on the coast not far away after furling its sails. Although this is not the best place to go ashore, it is extremely secluded, so Yuyouzi parked the boat here with confidence.
Because they met Kona and Keya when they landed for the first time, the group had to escape from the big island.
Yuyuko's original idea was to get a ship through some methods after going to the island, and at the same time get some serious crew members, such as serious doctors and serious navigators.
Knowing that everything had not started yet, Yuyuko suddenly thought of kidnapping Vinsmoke Reiju, the princess of the Germa Kingdom, and rescued the princess of the target kingdom they were hunting.
The two reasons combined made Youyouzi run away decisively.
Then Keya, the only one with sailing ability on the way, fell ill, and everyone went to the previous pirate island without stopping, and then encountered the navy's encirclement and suppression.
After this back and forth, several people spent two weeks on the sea in a thrilling way.
Therefore, the group of people took a rest on this small island, and by the way, they supplemented the problem of insufficient material reserves caused by the temporary voyage of the Little Strawberry.
You know, the material reserves on the ship at sea are often more important than the wealth you have on the ship.
Navigation is essentially a very boring thing. You face the same sea day by day, and you have to find the correct sailing direction to get to where you want to go.
The longer it takes, the more supplies you need to prepare.
Not just food, but fresh water.
And fresh water is actually the most important thing.
Because food can be obtained through fishing and fishing, and apart from the fresh water you prepare yourself, you can only depend on how much rain it can rain.
Due to the hasty sailing of the Little Strawberry, not only the material reserves were insufficient, but also many necessary storage equipment were seriously insufficient. For this reason, Yuyuko had to use a little of her own treasury to purchase some storage items.
At the same time, staying so long also has something to do with the next place Yuyuko is going to.
Frost Moon Village.
This is the place where Zoro, one of the three main members of the Straw Hat Pirates, trained when he was young.
Of course, that's not why Yuyuko went there.
Yuyuko mainly wanted to visit the descendants of Kozaburo Shigetsuki, Koushiro Shigetsuki, who had left Wano Country.
At the same time, he covets other people's daughters. Frost Moon Guyina.
Keya was confused for the first time when he heard Yuyuko's destination.
Because she has no idea where Shuangyue Village is.
She is not a professional navigator, she only has some knowledge of meteorology and some nautical charts.
If she were asked to find some famous places, she might still know something about it, but Shuangyue Village?
This is obviously a small corner somewhere, who knows. Why don't you name a country?
But even though he didn't know, Keya still roughly knew the location of Shuangyue Village from the merchant ships that came and went in Moka Village in the past few days.
The Kingdom of Gersdor is located in the windless zone of the East China Sea near the Grand Route, and Shuangyue Village is a small island close to the Red Earth Continent. Therefore, Keya spent a lot of effort to find the location of Shuangyue Village and confirm the route. That's why it took so long.
After confirming the route, we were naturally ready to set sail.
Two weeks later, in a grove one kilometer away from Moka Island, five men burst into tears.
During their one-week stay, the five Rockers were kicked off the ship, but because Yuyuko and the others did not leave immediately, they still followed Kona for devil-like training.
Different from when it first started, after two weeks of training, the training volume of the five people has doubled or tripled.
But this was not the reason why the five people cried bitterly.
The real reason is that Yuyuko and the others are preparing to sail.
"Sister Ke Na, we want to continue to follow in your footsteps and continue to practice."
Kona's mouth twitched, and she turned around and glanced lightly, "Oh~ Then get up and follow us. As long as you can get on the boat, I will let you follow."
"This..." Locke's crying face froze in the air. "Can you delete the last half of the sentence?"
Kona replied calmly, "No."
In two weeks, although Ke Na no longer despised these guys as much as before, she understood that these five guys were all shameless monsters. Therefore, I won't give these guys a good look.
What's more, these guys have a urinary nature. If you give them some sunshine, they will shine, if you give them some rain, they will ripple, and if you give them some spring breeze, they will rise directly to the sky.
Moreover, it was impossible for Yuyuko to leave a man on the ship.
Although having a younger brother can make some physical work easier, there are still five people on the boat who can't let go of a man.
Except for Yuyuko who has no self-awareness...
That guy acted as if he didn't care about his girls, chatting and joking with these guys all day long.
But it was precisely because Ruchu Kena would never let them stay on the ship.
What if Yuyuko is completely led astray?
And... Kona glanced at the five people who were struggling to get up, but were persuaded to back down by her sore legs time and time again, and the corner of her mouth couldn't help but raise a slight arc.
"Besides, can you really stand up?"
stand up……
The five people looked at each other, looking at their own feet and couldn't help but smile bitterly.
They wanted to stand up, but the problem was that their legs didn't obey the command at all.
It was obvious that Sister Ke Na had the same training as everyone else, but Sister Ke Na had nothing to do, and the five of them became soft-footed shrimps.
Really, my feet are weak...
The masculinity, the masculinity...all gone.
No wonder Sister Kona made the rare announcement today that she would take the lead in training with them. The result was to tire them down so they could go directly to sea.
Yuyouzi jumped down from a high branch, patted the dust on her pants and said with a smile, "After all, I have been resting here for a week, and Keya has also recovered. If Keya can control the course, we don't have to be here." The sea is drifting. Hehe~ It’s time to say goodbye.”
Not far away, Mina and Reiju were loading the supplies they had just purchased from Moka Town onto the ship.
Obviously, Yuyouzi had not informed these five people about today's departure.
Rocker, who knew he was too weak to follow, was filled with tears: "Sister, will we meet again in the future?"
Meet?
It is impossible to meet in a short time.
According to the requirements set by Kona and Yuyuko, they cannot go out and use the name of the Arashi organization to cause trouble before they successfully cultivate a solid level of domineering.
And Yuyuko herself would not go to the new world right away.
Although Yuyuko Mina and Kona's strength can protect themselves even in the new world, sailing does not rely on strength after all. Moreover, the navigation method of the Grand Line is completely different from that of the Four Seas, and the three of them know nothing about it.
Lilac has a world government background, so there is no shortage of permanent pointers.
Jesus Buben on Shanks' ship was a pretty good navigator.
The Nine Snakes Pirates are more of two sea snakes who rely on camels, and the climate impact of the Grand Line is very low.
And even Luffy later only dared to mess around in the Grand Line because of Nami, a genius even the Golden Lion admired.
The only one who could be called a miracle was probably Bartolomeo, Luffy's little fanboy later on, but others also have an almighty grandma to rely on!
You know, Bartolomeo's country grandma was created by One Piece author Oda in the image of his own grandma, and it's a real official plug-in.
Therefore, in the extra period of time, Yuyouzi planned to spend some time to improve Keya, a navigator who had basically successfully recruited, not only in terms of knowledge, but also in strength.
At the same time, Keya's fever also reminded Yuyuko of the importance of doctors.
Not to mention that Reiju is a temporary crew member. What she is good at is the poisonous constitution brought about by genetic modification. She may be good at poisoning, but when it comes to saving people except detoxifying, she has a dark eye.
Not only that, but unlike the Lilac, the Red Foss, and the Nine Snakes Pirates, the number of their group was too small, which made the sailing process extremely boring, so Yuyuko planned to recruit another singer or musician. , and at the same time, I have to find someone who can repair boats.
Moreover, even if the right people are found, there is no guarantee that these people will have enough strength to face the challenges of the Grand Line. Therefore, their strength also needs to be tempered.
Yuyouzi will naturally not mess around on the sea in a short period of time, so unless fate strikes, there is no way that Locke and the other five will bump into one of his group.
Suddenly Yuyuko thought of a spectacle that she wanted to witness with her own eyes.
So Yuyuko turned around and said with a smile, "Isn't the symbol of 'Arashi' cherry blossoms? Then when the miraculous cherry blossoms bloom at the top of winter."
"At that time, just go to Shampoo Place and wait for me."
Locke looked at the Little Strawberry's retreating silhouette with a melancholy expression. He didn't understand at all about the miraculous cherry blossoms blooming at the top of winter.
Although it has the reputation of being a miracle, it is impossible to imagine cherry blossoms blooming at the top of winter.
You must know that cherry blossoms are spring flowers, and the peak of winter is naturally a very cold place. In such a place, you can't even think about cherry blossoms with your toes.
"Boss, do you think the elder sisters simply think that we are in the way?" Elman asked a little depressed.
Locke was slightly stunned and glanced at the other three people, "Do you think so too?"
The three nodded.
"madness!"
Locke cursed, "Have you forgotten what our 'Lan' organization is going to do?"
As he spoke, Locke grabbed the sky with one hand and slowly put it down, "Do you understand, since you are a person who wants to fight against God, isn't it easy to create miracles?"
The four of them suddenly realized,
Yes, if the person who wants to confront God can't even do this kind of pediatric miracle, then he won't have the capital to challenge it.
"As expected of the eldest brother, he sees things more clearly than us." Laxus looked at Locke with admiration.
In the past two weeks, Locke was always the first in training and work. At the same time, Locke was also the best at guessing what the elder sisters meant. He naturally became the leader among the five.
"Brother, what should we do next?"
Locke took out a pack of cigarettes from his trouser bag, took one out and lit a cigarette very calmly. After blowing out a long smoke ring, Locke glared at several people fiercely.
"Of course what happens next is the same as it was on the ship. Didn't the elder sisters say that we are not allowed to go out and cause trouble unless we have developed our domineering skills?"
But...I can finally smoke...I have been holding back for two weeks.
The Kingdom of Germa on the coast of the Kingdom of Gestor.
Because one member of the royal family of the Kingdom of Germa escaped, the final profit from the mercenary war in the Kingdom of Germa was reduced by a quarter, but Gaji does not care about the harvest from this war now.
He was more concerned about Reiju's safety.
Unlike the original Sanji, Reiju inherited her mother Sora's appearance while also inheriting his strength. Especially after Sora's death, Reiju became the treasure in his heart. Although she didn't say it in words, her face It’s not obvious, but the status in my heart is always different.
Outsiders say that he is cold and ruthless.
But how can people be absolutely ruthless? Gaji is just extraordinarily rational.
The calmer and rational the mind is, the more ruthless it appears. The separation between sensibility and rationality is sometimes so contradictory.
But even he has a touch of tenderness without touching his core goal of letting Vinsmoke regain command of the North Sea.
This was the case with Sanji back then.
Sanji, who has no strength, weak character, and extremely naive character, simply cannot survive in the Vinsmoke family, which has enemies everywhere, not only due to bullying between brothers, but also from external enemies.
A weakling in a family looks like a weak spot to outsiders.
So he had Sanji declared dead early, and then when Sanji left, he specifically warned Sanji not to walk the world under the name Vinsmoke.
Although it looks cold, it is not a kind of protection.
Vinsmoke has made enemies everywhere. Even if Sanji is not taken seriously by Germa, it is enough just to vent his anger.
Gaji recalled the beginning.
Sora took the drug that affected genetic modification with the determination to die, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh. Turning to the intelligence soldier coldly, he asked, "Any more news about Reiju?"
The intelligence soldier replied, "No, but some information about Princess Reiju before she disappeared has been partially confirmed. In addition, communication with the giants in the dark world has generally confirmed that Princess Reiju was not abducted by slave traders."
As he spoke, the intelligence soldier pulled out a stack of information from his small satchel. "According to the oral statements of the two soldiers on the scene at the time, the person who took away Princess Reiju was probably a woman with a strange sea snake on her body. At the same time, the reason why the other party was able to avoid the surrounding ships was probably because the other party's way of going to sea was not a ship but a white sea monster, and according to analysis, not long after that there was a strong storm caused by a huge thundercloud in the sea not far away."
"Therefore, it is inferred that Princess Reiju's life or death may be uncertain now, but the possibility of being captured as a slave has basically been ruled out."
"Strange sea snake?" Ga Zhi was stunned for a moment, feeling that he had heard of this thing before.
By the way, the Shichibukai and the Nine Snakes Pirates?
So Gaji asked, "Is there any recent news about the Nine Snakes Pirates?"
"The Nine Snakes Pirates?" The intelligence soldier was stunned for a moment and didn't understand why he suddenly asked this question. However, he quickly dug out a few pieces of information from the small bag. After checking it, he nodded and replied, "Among the merchant ships blocked outside. One of them was robbed by the Nine Snakes Pirates."
This time Gaji was a little stunned.
Originally, it was just because the strange sea snake thought of the emerging Shichibukai and asked casually. Unexpectedly, the Nine Snakes Pirates had really come, but did they say that the Nine Snakes Pirates had kidnapped Reiju?
Gaji shook his head. The reputation of the Nine Snakes Pirates was well known. Apart from stealing things and killing many men, they didn't seem to have any bad deeds, let alone a special trip to the East China Sea to snatch his daughter.
But since there is such a thing, Gaji still has to ask. So Gaji thought for a while and said, "Go to the World Government and ask for the contact information of Boya Hancock of the Nine Snakes Pirates, and tell her to contact her if you have anything to do."
As for trouble with Amazon Lily?
Gaji had no such idea at all.
If you want to know why he didn't take the windless zone when he crossed the red soil continent, it wasn't because Germa's goal was too big. If he released the windless zone, he would immediately attract a group of sea kings, which was a complete act of seeking death.
After the order was given, Gaji sat in his seat and fell into deep thought.
Although there was still no news about Reiju, he was relieved that she had not fallen into the hands of slave traders.
But in An Xin, Gaji thought of Sanji again. Although he didn't talk about some of the small interactions between Reiju and Sanji, he always knew it. Sanji would never have come out of the cell without Reiju's help, let alone knowing where the key to the iron mask on his head was. It is impossible for Gaji, who is rational, not to know.
So, Reiju is taking advantage of this time to want to leave Vinsmoke like Sanji?
Gaji didn't know, but it was not impossible.
Reijiu was genetically modified after he was born. Fortunately, Reijiu inherited most of his excellent genes, so there is not a big gap in strength with his three brothers. The only special thing is that he is resistant to poison. Sex gene adjustment was prepared for when Reiju's body would grow up and her physical abilities could no longer keep up with her younger brother's.
Therefore, Reiju's genetic modification is imperfect, so she naturally retains her proper emotions. It's just that Reiju inherited his characteristic of always staying rational, so she seems to be the same as the other three brothers. However, from the fact that she rescued and let Sanji go, it is not difficult to see that she still has Sora's emotional side. .
Thinking of the previous three-month order, Gaji couldn't help but feel irritable.
Gaji thought for a long time and unknowingly came to Sora's tomb.
He hasn't been here for a long time.
Beihai's career was not going well, and Donghai's helplessness made him forget about this place.
His wife's smile rang out, and Gaji was silent for a long time and finally sighed.
"If you want to be like Sanji, then go ahead."
Then Gaji looked at the tombstone of Sanji, who was one size smaller next to him.
"But before that, it's better to let you die."
"You must understand what I mean."
"Reiju~"
